By applying for a Rebate and Rebate Coupon Code (each as defined below) you are deemed to have read, understood and agreed to the following terms and conditions under which Microsoft Ireland Operations Ltd. offers this Program (as defined below).
This Windows Devices Rebate Program (the "Program") available to eligible Enterprise Agreement or Select SA License Customers (the "Customer") is subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Customer eligibility under this Program will begin on February 1, 2014, and end June 30, 2014 (the "Program Term"). The ability to claim the Rebate and utilize Rebate Coupon Codes provided in connection with this Program will lapse at 23:59:59 GMT on September 30, 2014 (the "Rebate End Date") and it is advised that Customers submit a claim for a Rebate prior to the Rebate End Date in order to allow time to obtain and use their Rebate Coupon Code.
To be eligible to claim a Rebate, the Customer must have signed either:
For the avoidance of doubt, education customers are not eligible unless such Customer has obtained an exemption to this exclusion from Microsoft, and any true-ups under an Enterprise Agreement shall not count towards the minimum 500 qualified desktops required under (i), above. Customer may request confirmation that they have entered into a Qualifying Agreement by contacting Microsoft via www.MSgetmobile.com (the "Website").
In addition to signing a Qualifying Agreement, Customer must purchase at least the Device Threshold of Eligible Devices (each as defined below) during the Program Term, towards which the Rebate may apply.
Where the Customer has signed a Qualifying Agreement and has purchased at least the Device Threshold of Eligible Devices, Customer will be a "Qualifying Customer".
The minimum number of Eligible Devices required to be purchased by the Customer to be eligible for a Rebate is 100 (the "Device Threshold"), and the maximum number of devices to which the Rebate may apply is 10,000 (the "Device Cap").
The Rebate will only be calculated on the basis of Customer's purchase made after the date of signing a Qualifying Agreement of the following devices, which must be purchased new in any combination, from any authorized seller providing the required supporting evidence, as detailed below (the "Eligible Devices"):
A Qualifying Customer may claim the Rebate Amount set out below in relation to ONE Eligible Device per FIVE qualified desktops or Select licenses with SA (as applicable) under the Qualifying Agreement (the "Rebate Ratio").
The "Rebate Amount" for each Eligible Device will be the USD amount set out below, which will be converted to the Customer's local currency before payment (the locale of the Customer to be determined by the locale of the entity identified on the Qualifying License), in accordance with the conversion set out in the table below or such other conversion rate as may be notified to Customer by Microsoft before, on or after payment of the Rebate:
Tablets / Surface |
Conversion rate |
Rebate Amount for Tablets / Surface |
Germany |
$50 |
$50 |
Sweden |
$50 |
The total "Rebate" will be calculated by multiplying the number of Eligible Devices purchased (where the number of such Eligible Devices is above the Device Threshold and at or below both the Device Cap and the maximum number of devices calculated in accordance with the Rebate Ratio) by the relevant Rebate Amount(s).
For example, a 1,000 qualified desktop Enterprise Agreement will allow Customer to claim a Rebate in relation to 1,000/5 = 200 Eligible Devices, applying the Rebate Ratio. Notwithstanding being able to claim in relation to 200 Eligible Devices, Customer may purchase less than this maximum number of devices they are able to claim the rebate for, so long as the number of Eligible Devices purchased is greater than the Device Threshold. Therefore, Customer may, for example, purchase 150 tablets which are Eligible Devices and the Rebate due will be the applicable Rebate Amount ($50) multiplied by the number of Eligible Devices (150) and converted to local currency (USD 7,500 or e.g. GBP 4,901.96 where Customer is based in the UK).
A Qualifying Customer may only submit one claim for a Rebate under this Program, irrespective of whether any further Eligible Devices are purchased following the submission of that claim.
All claims under this Program must be submitted prior to the Rebate End Date and only for Eligible Devices purchased and shipped after the signing of a Qualifying Agreement.
A Qualifying Customer must inform Microsoft of the number of Eligible Devices it has purchased and wishes to claim a Rebate in respect of, following which Microsoft will issue the customer with a unique coupon code (the "Rebate Coupon Code"). The Qualifying Customer must follow the submission process outlined on the Website or as may be separately provided by Microsoft.
In order to claim the Rebate, a Qualifying Customer must also submit the following "Supporting Evidence," together with the Rebate Coupon Code before the Rebate End Date:
Microsoft will assess the validity of each submitted Rebate Coupon Code and Supporting Evidence and will pay the Rebate to the Qualifying Customer within 90 days of the Rebate Coupon Code having been submitted where the claim is validated. Payment will be made by transfer to the Qualifying Customer's bank account, details of which the Qualifying Customer must communicate to Microsoft, as instructed by Microsoft in connection with this Program.
Where a Qualifying Customer returns any of the Eligible Devices for which a Rebate has been claimed for reasons other than a warranty claim relating to faulty devices, and where those Eligible Devices are not immediately replaced with other Eligible Devices, that Qualifying Customer must inform Microsoft of such return, and return the proportion of the Rebate applicable to those Eligible Devices to Microsoft within 90 days of the Eligible Devices having been returned, in accordance with instructions provided by Microsoft following notification.
Customer must report any errors, issues or disputes regarding the calculation and payment of the Rebate to Microsoft in writing within 30 days of receipt of the Rebate from Microsoft. If Microsoft has not received written notice from Customer within the 30-day period, Customer will be deemed to have accepted the calculation and payment of the Rebate. Microsoft reserves the right at any time to adjust the Rebate payable to Customer, if Microsoft identifies any discrepancy, error or omission.
Rebate may be withheld or reduced at the discretion of Microsoft in the event Customer is in breach of any of its material obligations to Microsoft under this Program. This Program does not apply to any Microsoft service or product other than as set out herein. The Rebate is not transferable and is only payable to Customer and not to any third party.
Microsoft may conduct random audits of all required activities implemented under this Program, as applicable, by notifying Customer. Microsoft may request, and Customer agrees to provide, additional acceptable proof of performance, as customer may be informed by Microsoft from time to time following such notification. If Microsoft does not receive the requested proof of performance documentation within thirty (30) calendar days after Microsoft's request, Microsoft may withhold payment of the Rebate. Additionally, Microsoft, at its sole discretion, may require Customer to return all or part of any previously paid Rebate received under this Program if Customer is not in compliance with the requirements of this provision or any other provision of the Program terms.
It is Customer's sole responsibility to report and pay all applicable taxes or duties that may be required under any appropriate laws related to the Rebate it receives and its participation in this Program. Customer must consult its own tax advisor with any question or concern about the taxes that apply to it in relation to the Program. Microsoft and its affiliates will not be liable for any taxes, including income taxes, withholdings and good and services taxes (if applicable) or their equivalent, in connection with any payments made to Customer under this Program.
Participation in this Program is entirely voluntary.
In the event of any dispute arising from or in relation to this Program, the decision of Microsoft shall be final and binding. No correspondence will be entered into.
The information submitted by Customer when participating in the Program may include phone numbers, email address, ID number and other personal information of Customer's employee(s) ("Personal Information"). Microsoft will only use Personal Information in accordance with applicable data protection laws and regulations and Microsoft's privacy policy referred to below, for the purposes of administering Customer's participation in the Program. For more details on Microsoft's privacy policy, please see: http://privacy.microsoft.com/en-us/default.aspx.
If personal information of third parties (e.g. customers) is shared by the Customer, the Customer represents and warrants that he has the appropriate consent of the customer to do so. Microsoft will use any of this third party data for the sole purpose of this Program only.
Notices may be given either by electronic or physical mail or, in the case of changes this Program, by Microsoft publishing them on the Website or making you aware of such changes via email or telephone.
Customer will comply with all applicable laws against bribery, corruption and money-laundering, including the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act ("Anti-Corruption Laws"). Customer certifies that it has read and will comply with the Anti-Corruption Policy for Microsoft Representatives: http://www.microsoft.com/about/corporatecitizenship/en-us/working-responsibly/principled-business-practices/integrity-governance/political-engagement/
The validity and construction of and performance under these terms and conditions (and any claim, dispute or matter arising under or in connection with these terms and conditions or their enforceability) and any non-contractual obligations arising out of or in connection with these terms and conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland.

Luxury Villa Sungai is but 4 minutes from bustling Ubud yet peaceful & quiet, with the best views in all of Bali. Perfect for 4, a huge deck & with Harmony's gorgeous 15m infinity pool right on the rice fields, it's tropical living at its finest!
Dear Yanfeng, thank you for your feedback. Glad you had a lovely time. We hope you'll come back to Bali.
What you see in the villa in the morning is not from mice but from geckos. They come and go from outside and unfortunately they do leave a tiny mess sometimes. This is why we have a thorough cleaning each day. We can control some of the animals but not geckos! You'll find them in almost every building in Bali.

Remember when we said there were reports that the new iPad was running hot? Thanks to the folks at Tweakers.net, we now have some quantitative measurements to support these observations.

I'll start with our most important addition: the ship system!
(Note: this is not water..xD)
We've hired a programmer(I will not reveal the name of this person since he doesn't want to be linked to any anime game.)He has done a great job making the ship system for our game.
Basically you can move on the ship's deck while its moving...and players can freely move on it.
(Zane's ship for spirit age was referenced)
I've made a small edit to our current inventory,i've created 2 categories.One beeing the "Equipment" inventory and the other,the "Items" inventory.It's nothing much but still...xD
3rd new feature is...Trading!
Since we have a lot items in-game (approx 100) i thought having a trading system would be a nice feature instead of just dropping items on map.I've tried to make it as simple as possible and i ended up with using an interface pop up and the drag and drop features we were using for the inventory.
Beside that,a few stuff were added such as Sea Monsters ,new maps,clothes and equipment.New screenshots:

Exercise is good for you – few would argue that fact. But we all make excuses… not enough time, not the right equipment, not enough energy. Perhaps you're a busy boomer or senior who travels often. Nordic Traks do not fit in a suitcase. So what happens when you're on the road and away from your home or local gym?
The Fitness Boutique has a solution that will make most excuses irrelevant. This company has designed a series of award-winning workout books, customized to "specific lifestyle needs." The Fit Traveler was the first in the series that now includes The Fit Traveler: Senior Edition (for our 65+ crowd) and will soon introduce a maternity edition and disability edition.
Designed by "fitness globetrotters" Kari Eide and Lissa Mueller, this portable gym includes a tailored workout program, fully-illustrated fitness guide, quick tips on healthy living, progress charts, and an exercise band. According to the product specs, "the use of bands allows resistance in multiple directions and improves strength, flexibility, range of motion and cooperation of muscle groups. There are modifications based on your particular fitness level, balance ability and range of motion.
The kit is compact enough to fit easily into any suitcase or purse, and the program itself is easy and versatile. It's the perfect solution for the travel-savvy boomer or senior who is keen on maintaining good health no matter where they go.
Now, if only they could package motivation and an extra 40 minutes into that kit…
How do you stay fit when you're on the road? What keeps you from a daily exercise routine?

AmericanAirlines Arena, Miami, FL
MIAMI (AP) -- Game 7s do more than settle championships. They define legacies.
No matter what happens Thursday night, LeBron James and the Miami Heat, and Tim Duncan's San Antonio Spurs have already won NBA titles and secured a place in history.
Now is their opportunity to elevate it.
The truly memorable teams won the hard way, and that will be the case for the one celebrating at center court this time. It's either a Heat repeat, possible only after James led them back from what seemed certain elimination in the closing seconds of Game 6, or the Spurs shaking off as gut-wrenching a loss as a team can have to become just the fourth club to win a Game 7 of the NBA Finals on the road.
"As a competitor you love it, because you know you have an opportunity and it's up to you," Heat guard Ray Allen said. "We have a chance in our building to make something great. All of our legacies are tied to this moment, this game. It's something our kids will be able to talk about that they were a part of. Forever will remember these moments, so we want to not live and have any regrets."
Allen played in the game the last time the NBA's season went down to the very last day, the Boston Celtics fading at the finish and falling 83-79 to the Los Angeles Lakers in 2010. That made home teams 14-3 in finals Game 7s, with no road team winning since Washington beat Seattle in 1978.
Overcoming those odds, not to mention the NBA's winningest team, would make this more memorable than the Spurs' previous four titles, though this is a franchise that never dwells too much on the past or looks too far into the future.
All that matters is now.
"You know what, it's all about just winning the title. It's not about situation or what has led up to it," Duncan said. "It's a great story for everybody else, but we're here for one reason, one reason only: It's to try to win this game (Thursday). We have had a very good season thus far, and I think we just want to get to the game more than anything. We just want to see what happens and be able to leave everything out there."
The teams trudged back to the arena Wednesday, some 12 hours after the Heat pulled out a 103-100 overtime victory in Game 6 to even the series. The Spurs, five points ahead with 28 seconds left in regulation, had to fight off fatigue and heartbreak, insisting neither would linger into Thursday.
By far the best game of this series, Game 6 immediately took its place among the best finishes in finals history, with everything from James' triple-double to Allen's tying 3-pointer with 5.2 seconds left in regulation.
It had close calls, debatable decisions, and the NBA's best player at his very best when his team needed him most.
Games 2-5 in the series had been ugly, but that one was a beauty.
"I think -- I know -- that game will go down as one of the best finals games that's been seen," Heat guard Dwyane Wade said. "But I think this series will go down as being one of the most competitive, bizarre series that's been seen. So this is what you pay for to watch. You pay to watch two great teams battle to the very, very end, and that's what we'll do (Thursday). It will be to the very last second."
The Heat could become the NBA's first repeat champions since the Lakers in 2010. James and Chris Bosh moved to Miami to join Wade a few weeks later and they are in the finals for the third time in three chances.
But playing for titles is more expected than celebrated now in Miami, and a 66-win season that included a 27-game winning streak -- and perhaps the whole Big Three era -- goes down as a failure if the Heat fall Thursday. Yet James said he doesn't need the victory to validate his decision to take his talents to South Beach.
"I mean, I need it because I want it and I only came here -- my only goal is to win championships," he said. "I said it, this is what I came here for. This is what I wanted to be a part of this team for."
He, Wade and Bosh are going for No. 2, while San Antonio is getting a second shot at what would be a fourth together for Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobili. All their years together have given the Spurs' trio the belief they can bounce back from Tuesday's collapse.
The team went to dinner after the game, Duncan figuring that was better than guys sitting alone with their thoughts in their rooms. Parker and Boris Diaw discussed a similar situation with the French national team in the 2005 European championships, when they blew a late lead against Greece in the semifinals but then came back to beat Spain for the bronze medal.
"We just have to be positive and forget Game 6," Parker said. "It was a great opportunity, but that's life. It's basketball and everybody will be ready."
So will James, who was planning a relaxing night with family and friends Wednesday. He has the most at stake in the game, and when it's over he'll be either a two-time NBA Finals MVP or a two-time loser in a Heat uniform.
"I want to go down as one of the greatest. I want our team to go down as one of the greatest teams. And we have an opportunity to do that," James said. "Hasn't been many teams to win back-to-back championships. It's so hard. It's the hardest thing. I said last year it was the hardest thing I've ever done, winning my first. Last year don't even come close to what we've gone through in this postseason and in these finals.
"So I'll be there (Thursday) night. I'm going to give it my all."
The Spurs have never lost in the finals, but they've never faced a situation quite like this. They won a Game 7 for the 2005 championship, but that victory over Detroit was at home. The last five finals that went the distance all went to the home team.
"I don't really care what it's been like for anybody else at any time," Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. "All I know is we have had a hell of a year and we have an opportunity to win a championship. That's all that matters."

Research Notes
From Elias: Similar to Tim Duncan having a chance to become only the 2nd player in NBA history to win a title in 3 different decades, Gregg Popovich can join Phil Jackson as the only coaches to pull off the feat. |
LeBron joins Michael Jordan as the only players to win back-to-back regular-season MVPs and NBA Finals MVPs (Jordan accomplished that feat in 1991 and 1992). Note that the NBA Finals MVP award was first handed out in 1969. |

I love the idea of a hope chest. It can be used for anything you really want to take with you, and I really do not see it as sexist, seeing as you usually put silverware as well as other items that can be used for either gender or collected by either gender.
I mainly started a hope chest because I love to crochet. Now I have baby booties, hats, pot holders, and am working on an afghan I believe I will be very happy with when I move out in a year (18 years old).

For many years, the iconic Palm Jumeirah has been linked in our minds with the seven-star hotel Atlantis. In the last two months, however, two new hotels have opened on the Palm, set to attract thousands of new residents and visitors to the man-made island. The One & Only hotel, with rooms that cost over 3,500 AED a night, opened its doors in November 2010, with many of its rooms and shore-front villas booked over the winter holidays. The second addition, the Zabeel Saray Hotel, is set to open this month. The Zabeel Saray, with interiors inspired by the Ottoman Empire, has stunning views of the sea and a range of restaurants including Turkish, Indian and Vietnamese cuisines.
This comes at a time of recovery in the leisure industry as hotel revenues in Dubai rose by 15 percent in the last quarter of 2010. The travel and leisure industry is rewarding and with several new hotels, including the Royal Amwaj Resort, due for completion by the end of summer, Dubai is in a good position to compete with many other destinations. With new hotels planned to open in Abu Dhabi, Qatar and Oman and with strong competition from in-demand holiday destinations like Singapore and Thailand, these hotels will help Palm Jumeirah stay on the map.

Supply is still much higher than demand in the hotel industry. And, according to this post, there is still more to come. I'm not sure I would invest in hotels now.
February 14. 2011 00:46
Do we really need more hotels? The world is in recession and people still hope to make money in the hotel industry? Investors should put their money in transport, technology or infrastructure…things that would benefit the residents of Dubai and not just the people who come here on holiday.
February 15. 2011 00:57
"Build it and they will come". That is what most developers in Dubai seem to think. But there is a reason so many hotels were postponed or cancelled. I think some of these investors should learn to play it safe.
February 16. 2011 05:05
In reference to the comments above, I would like to point out that developers planned to build over 30 hotels on the Palm but because of the economic situation over the last few years, many of these were cancelled. You cannot simply state we do not need new hotels, as developers are only following through with their original plans and investments and, after all, there must be a demand for them.
February 28. 2011 01:46
I agree, sometimes developers are following through with plans that they have already put into action. And, in a few years time, when the economy has slowly recovered, there will be demand for hotels again. Lets not forget that Dubai is still one of the most popular holiday destinations in the Middle East.

I recently went to have lunch with my family at Imperium restaurant in Zabeel Saray Hotel. The food was nice and the service was excellent. If new hotels on the Palm give us residents more choice on where to go and what to do, what is the harm?
March 6. 2011 06:40
The Palm's one of the most ICONIC places in Dubai. If having more hotels on the Palm means more tourists and visitors,why not??
March 13. 2011 01:28
Why not have more hotels on the Palm? A holiday destination is only as good as its sun, sand and hotels.
March 28. 2011 06:46
I spent a day at the Zabeel Saray Hotel, having lunch and then coffee outside in the garden. Nice views. Its still new, so i think the service will be even better in a few months, but i enjoyed it. I say yes to more hotels!

Eftpos trials mobile payments
PUBLISHED: 14 May 2013 00:33:10 | UPDATED: 14 May 2013 11:58:52PUBLISHED: 14 May 2013 PRINT EDITION: 14 May 2013Eftpos managing director Bruce Mansfield . . . identifying stakeholder interest over the next three months. Photo: Louise Kennerley
Ruth Liew and James Hutchinson
Electronic payments system provider eftpos is set to take on Visa and MasterCard in the burgeoning mobile contactless payments space.
Under a five-year deal struck with technology group C-SAM this week, eftpos will allow debit card users to pay for goods with their mobiles rather than physical cards. The proof of concept will be rolled out to several retail outlets in the next several months, with a view to building a service that can be rolled out more widely.
Eftpos handles 6.2 million transactions daily and more than 80 per cent of all debit card transactions, but has fallen behind on the burgeoning technology, which has been trialled by competitors Visa, MasterCard and e-commerce giant PayPal at various stages.
"Eftpos is now looking at new ways to pay," company managing director Bruce Mansfield said. "One of the big challenges is to transform [payments] to meet the needs of the future."
The company is keeping mum on which companies have signed up to the tests, but Mr Mansfield noted that "we need to test a range of scenarios" at various stores.
"We hope to work through with all those retailers and financial institutions over the next three months, trying to identify the levels of stakeholder interest," he added.
The near-field communications technology eftpos is adopting in the trial has long promised making virtual payments easier by allowing consumers to simply swipe their phone over a point of sale device. However, complex ownership and profit negotiations required between phone manufacturers, telecommunications carriers and payment providers have meant very few trials make it to commercial deployments.
Over the past several years, each of the big four banks have attempted their own flavour of a mobile wallet, alongside Visa, MasterCard and PayPal. Commonwealth Bank allows owners of iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S devices to make contactless payments using a custom case and app, since Apple does not currently support the technology.
Wesfarmers' Coles has also begun testing the technology with 60 people across Australia but the retail outlet's general manager of financial services, Richard Wormald, said mass adoption of the technology was two to three years away.
A survey of 1044 Australians by analyst firm Gartner found Visa and PayPal to be the most likely use of mobile wallets in the near future, with Bpay, MasterCards and home banks falling behind. The survey did not mention eftpos.
Consumer research group GfK recently forecast that nearly one in three smartphones in Australia would be able to take advantage of contactless payment technologies by the end of this year.

I'm not speaking for anyone else here but I do think that no one is hoping that either of the missing women are dead....I'm not even going to fathom on why you would even think that. That said, I believe that a majority of the public believe that these two women are no longer among the living and hope and pray that their families will finally know what has happened to their loved one and that maybe they will have the chance to finally lay them to rest.

As Hurricane Sandy pounded the U.S. Atlantic coast on Monday night, knocking out electricity and Internet connections, millions of residents turned to Twitter as a part-newswire, part-911 hotline that hummed through the night even as some websites failed and swathes of Manhattan fell dark.
But the social network also became a fertile ground for pranksters who seized the moment to disseminate rumors and Photoshopped images, including a false tweet Monday night that the trading floor at the New York Stock Exchange was submerged under several feet of water.
The exchange issued a denial, but not before the tweet was circulated by countless users and reported on-air by CNN, illustrating how Twitter had become the essential - but deeply fallible - spine of information coursing through real-time, major media events.
But a year after Twitter gained attention for its role in the rescue efforts in tsunami-stricken Japan, the network seemed to solidify its mainstream foothold as government agencies, news outlets and residents in need turned to it at the most critical hour.
Beginning late Sunday, government agencies and officials, from New York Governor Andrew Cuomo(@NYGovCuomo) to the Federal Emergency Management Agency (@FEMA) to @NotifyNYC, an account handled by New York City's emergency management officials, issued evacuation orders and updates.
As the storm battered New York Monday night, residents encountering clogged 9-1-1 dispatch lines flooded the Fire Department's @fdny Twitter account with appeals for information and help for trapped relatives and friends.
One elderly resident needed rescue in a building in Manhattan Beach. Another user sent @fdny an Instagram photo of four insulin shots that she needed refrigerated immediately. Yet another sought a portable generator for a friend on a ventilator living downtown.
Emily Rahimi, who manages the @fdny account by herself, according to a department spokesman, coolly fielded dozens of requests, while answering questions about whether to call 311, New York's non-emergency help line, or Consolidated Edison.

Charlie Webster - Player spirit key to Champions League success
Published: 27 May 2011 - 11:16:09
Sam Allardyce once said when managing Bolton 'There are scientists who will tell you that spirit, because it can't be measured, doesn't exist. B*ll*cks. It does exist' and Brian Clough "Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes."
Do you agree with both or either of these football quotes? The reason why they stand out to me is firstly I believe spirit is a key ingredient to success and whoever plays with the most spirit at Wembley this weekend will be lifting the Champions League trophy. Secondly everybody under the sun is trying to analyse Barcelona v Manchester United and both Sir Alex Ferguson and Pep Guardiola's tactics. I sort of asked myself the question can I win at dominoes. Not sure I've even tried; maybe I'll have a go. So the endless questions will Sir Alex adapt his squad to play Barca to trap if at all possible Lionel Messi? Will the tactics of the reds look to disrupt Xavi and Busquets like Real Madrid did when they beat them in the Copa del Rey? How will Manchester United best use Park Ji-Sung?
Who is backing Barca? And who is backing United? Gary Lineker "If Barcelona turn up, they win," ... "Barca have got to have a bad day for United to realistically have a chance. Either that or United get lucky." Whereas David Beckham 'if anyone can beat Barca, it's Manchester United.'
Realistically it's going to be hard for either team or manager to spring a surprise on one another. They will have analysed the play in immense detail more than we can ever imagine, they know how both teams work, and they know each other's players, their strengths and weakness'. Sir Alex knows what Guardiola is capable of and vice a versa. They will already know and will have for a while exactly what they are going to do. So all we have to do is relax and enjoy! Unless maybe you are a Barcelona or Manchester United fan, a tense evening will be in store I'm sure. Two of the finest teams in world football and most certainly the two best managers head to head, I can't wait. I just hope that both teams play at their best, inspire and create a spectacle for all football fans out there. I'm tempted to go against the grain with a Manchester United win and I'm going to give in to temptation. No team is unbeatable not even the dream team of Barcelona.
On another note especially as the football season is all but over don't forget we have a summer of football with the FIFA Women's World Cup and England have a serious chance of reaching the final and most certainly beating the men's equivalent. At last the future is starting to look a little lighter for females in the game apart from this week when talking about my own team Sheffield United and how we should hold on to our stars I got asked if I'd washed the pots. I'm putting that down to an ape from before the human race visiting the future or the fact that he just wanted to wash my pots. I wanted to give Emily Lewis-Clarke a mention. She had to quit her team which she was the only girl due to the age limit for mixed-sex teams by the FA. However due to Emily and her team protesting to the FA the age limit has been raised from 11 to 13. So as Sam Allardyce said spirit exits especially in football, an 11 year old girl who earns her place in her team on merit, and stands up to the discrimination in football is what I call spirit.

Back in April I had been filing complaints with my LE against a former neighbor/drug addict for harassment and terroristic threatening. After a lengthy and frustrating correspondence with LE to get my police reports to the county attorney's office, I was promised by PAs office that charges would be filed. I made five separate trips and spent hours waiting to talk to them. On June 12th I sent an email to the prosecutor to find out what the status was. I did not receive a reply. Today I called and was informed because there was no address provided they could not move forward. At the time of the original complaints the individual was being incarcerated on the weekends at the county jail. I know this because the prosecutor told me. They had the ability to get it done then.
I'm very upset and discouraged at our criminal justice system right now.
A lot of good calling the police and being a good witness did!
This is just my situation, I know this does not happen all time. But it happened to me.
