Wild Card-leading Rays, Rangers meet in St. Pete
Tampa Bay sends Cobb against familiar face in Texas' Garza
Let the battle for the American League Wild Card continue.
As the Rangers and Rays begin a pivotal four-game series Monday night at Tropicana Field, the teams are tied atop the AL Wild Card standings, with the Indians a half game behind.
The series will certainly have a postseason feeling, but Rangers manager Ron Washington said before Sunday's loss to the A's that he's not worried about potential playoff implications.
"Right now we're just trying to win a ballgame," Washington said. "I'm not thinking about no playoffs, I'm not thinking about anything. We're just trying to win a ballgame. I just want to win a ballgame. Can you help me?"
The Rangers come to St. Petersburg mired in a season-long six-game losing streak and are just 2-11 in September. The starters are 1-11 with a 5.32 ERA in their last 13 games, a trend right-hander Matt Garza looks to change in Monday's opener against his former team.
Garza is winless in his past four starts and lasted only four innings against the Pirates on Wednesday.
"Obviously I'm not happy, because I'm not where I want to be, but I just got to get keep going," Garza said afterward. "There's nothing else. Just keep going, keep pushing, working and keep getting ready for that next start."
The Rays -- winners of three of their last four -- counter with right-hander Alex Cobb. Monday marks Cobb's 20th start of the season, giving the club six pitchers with at least 20 starts. Tampa Bay will be just the seventh AL team in history to have six pitchers with 20 starts and the first since the 2001 Devil Rays.
Cobb hasn't made it through the seventh inning in either of his last two outings since going the distance Aug. 31.
Rangers: Tepesch might start Tuesday
• Texas has yet to officially announce a starter for Tuesday, but right-hander Nick Tepesch remains in line to get the ball. Washington said he expects to use a collective effort from his bullpen.
"There will be guys out of the bullpen piggybacking," Washington said.
• Shortstop Elvis Andrus has a five-game hitting streak (.318).
Rays: Getting RISPy
• Tampa Bay is hitting .324 with runners in scoring position in its last four games.
• Third baseman Evan Longoria has five extra-base hits in his last five games after having only one in his previous 15.
Worth noting
• Texas took two of three from the Rays in April in Arlington and have won three of the last five matchups against Tampa Bay.

Murad At-A-Glance
Strengths: A few good cleansers; a selection of well-formulated AHA products centered on glycolic acid; most of Murad's top-rated products are fragrance-free; the sunscreens go beyond the basics and include several antioxidants for enhanced protection.
Weaknesses: Expensive; no other dermatologist-designed line has more problem products than Murad; irritating ingredients are peppered throughout the selection of products, keeping several of them from earning a recommendation; the skin-lighteners are not well-formulated.
Dr. Murad was one of the first doctors to appear on an infomercial selling his own line of skin-care products, and quite successfully so, at least the second time around. This was largely because the company paid for independent clinical studies to establish the efficacy of Dr. Murad's products. There's no question that AHA products, when well-formulated, can be a powerful ally to create healthier, radiant skin. But in terms of independent clinical studies, we're skeptical, given that there are countless labs that exist solely to perform such studies in strict accordance with how the company wants the results to turn out. Murad certainly wouldn't mention in an infomercial that the clinical studies for his AHA products weren't as impressive as, say, those for Neutrogena's AHA products, or any other line for that matter. And what about BHA products? Clinical studies and testimonials may have prompted consumers to order, but the results from Murad's AHA products are hardly unique to this line.
Although this is a skin-care line to consider for some good AHA options, the majority of the products are nothing more than a problem for skin. Murad may have been one of the first dermatologist-developed skin-care lines, but by today's standards his line is deplorable. This is largely due to a preponderance of irritating ingredients that show up in product after product. Any dermatologist selling products that include lavender, basil, and various citrus oils plus menthol and other irritants doesn't deserve to be taken seriously. The same goes for Murad's overuse of alcohol and his preference for treating acne with sulfur, both factors that keep some of his otherwise well-formulated, efficacious products from earning a recommendation.
Yet what is most objectionable is the endless parade of products claiming they can stop, get rid of, or reduce wrinkles and aging. Regardless of whether dermatologists know best about lotions and potions, no conscientious doctor would or should be selling products using the ludicrous claims Murad makes. Most of the anti-aging products have the same hype, the same unsubstantiated claims, and the same exaggeration about the beneficial effects of ingredients that are often present only in the tiniest amounts, without even a mention of the standard or potentially irritating ingredients that are also present. Dr. Murad's skin-care philosophy, stated on his Web site, includes the following statement: "Take all the necessary steps to achieve healthy skin—including the right products, the proper nutrients (from both food and supplements) and positive lifestyle choices." That's an excellent piece of advice; the problem is that it is contradicted by Murad's own products, most of which are far from the "right" options for all skin types.

Top Definition
Spanish meaning "Northerner"; Nortenos claim red as their color and often wear red rags (bandanas) around their heads or hang them from their pockets. Their number is 14, X4 or XIV in Roman numerals. 14 is significant because the fourteenth letter in the alphabet is N, which stands for Norte. Most Nortenos are born in the United States and speak fluent English and Spanish. They engage in activities such as tagging and hustling. Their hated enemies are Surenos, or "Southerners", who claim blue as their color and 13, XIII or X3.
Hayward is home to many Nortenos.

The Norteños, also Norte, are affiliated with Nuestra Familia (Our Family), a coalition of traditional Latino gangs in Northern California. A member of these gangs is a Norteño (male) or Norteña (female); based on Spanish usage. In the late 1960s, Mexican-American inmates of the California state prison system began to separate into two rival groups, Norteños (northerners) and Sureños (southerners), according to the locations of their hometowns; the north-south dividing line was near Bakersfield. Part of the motivation for the split was the desire of the Norteños to be independent of "La Eme" a.k.a. the Mexican Mafia. As with many other gangs, Norteños have been involved in trafficking of drugs and contraband, and armed conflict with other gangs and with police. According to police investigators, a requirement for full membership in Nuestra Familia is committing at least one murder for the gang. Federal law enforcement agencies, long unable to infiltrate the group, began to step up their investigations in the late 1990s.
In 2000 and 2001, 22 members were indicted on racketeering charges, including several who were allegedly serving as high-ranking gang leaders while confined in Pelican Bay. Thirteen of the defendants pleaded guilty; the other cases are still ongoing. Two of the defendants face the death penalty for ordering murders related to the drug trade. The largest of the federal investigations, Operation Black Widow, caused controversy when it became public that some gang members were serving as FBI informants while still continuing to organize violent crimes. Norteño emblems and clothing are based on the color red. A typical Norteño outfit might include a red belt, red shoes, and red shoelaces. They will also favor sports team apparel that shows their affiliation through symbolism such as the Nebraska Cornhuskers football, UNLV, K-Swiss, and San Francisco 49ers. Norteños may refer to each other by using the term "Ene," Spanish for the letter "N." Norteños use the number 14 in tattoos and graffiti because "N" is the fourteenth letter of the alphabet. It is sometimes written as "X4" or in Roman numerals as "XIV". Some Norteños will tattoo themselves with four dots. Norteño derogatorily refers to a Sureño as a "Scrap" or "Sur (Sewer) Rat," while a Sureño will likewise refer to a Norteño as a "Buster" or "Chap" (Chapete). Norteños also lay claim to images of the Mexican-American labor movement, such as the sombrero, machete, and "Huelga bird," symbols of the United Farm Workers.

- "Andromeda was my favourite cousin. No, Andromeda's not on here either, look. Andromeda's sisters are still here because they made lovely, respectable pure-blood marriages, but Andromeda married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks, so —"
- —Sirius Black discussing Andromeda with Harry Potter[src]
Andromeda Tonks (née Black) (b. between 1951 and 1955[1]), also known as Dromeda, was a pure-blood witch. She was the middle daughter of Cygnus and Druella Black (née Rosier), as well as the sister of Bellatrix and Narcissa. She attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1960s and was sorted into Slytherin house.
After Hogwarts, she married a Muggle-born, Ted Tonks and was disowned by her prejudiced family. In 1973 she became the mother of Nymphadora Tonks. During the Second Wizarding War, Andromeda and her husband were allies of the Order of the Phoenix, as their daughter was a member. Nymphadora married Remus Lupin in 1997 and had a son, Teddy Lupin. During the war in 1998, Andromeda's husband was murdered by Snatchers, Remus was murdered at the Battle of Hogwarts, and Nymphadora was also murdered by Andromeda's sister, Bellatrix Lestrange.
After the Second Wizarding War, Andromeda raised her grandson with the help of his godfather Harry Potter, which meant that Teddy also spent time with the Potter and Weasley families.
Early life (1950s-1960s)Edit
Andromeda was born in the early 1950s. She was the second daughter of Cygnus and Druella Black (née Rosier), and younger sister of Bellatrix Lestrange and older sister of Narcissa Malfoy. Walburga and Orion Black were her aunt and uncle on her father's side, and Sirius and Regulus Black her cousins. Evan Rosier may be a relative on her mother's side. Alphard Black was also Andromeda's uncle.[3]
She was Sirius Black's favourite cousin, but he never met her married family before his imprisonment in Azkaban in 1981.[4]
Hogwarts years (1960s-1970s)Edit
- "She is no niece of ours, my Lord. We — Narcissa and I — have never set eyes on our sister since she married the Mudblood. This brat has nothing to do with either of us, nor any beast she marries."
- —Bellatrix Lestrange to Lord Voldemort about the recent marriage of Nymphadora Tonks[src]
Andromeda attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from the mid-1960s to the early 1970s and was sorted into Slytherin house.[2] She may have been very skilled at Charms class. It is also possible that she was good at Defence Against the Dark Arts because in her adult life she managed to resist torture without revealing any vital information or losing her sanity.
At some point during or after her education at Hogwarts, Andromeda met Ted Tonks, a Muggle-born wizard. Despite her family's steadfast belief in the importance of blood purity.
Life after Hogwarts (1970s-1995) Edit
Andromeda married Ted and was subsequently disowned and burned off the family tapestry in 12 Grimmauld Place by her aunt, parents and sisters. Statements by her sisters indicate that both of them cut off contact with Andromeda because they considered her a blood traitor for her marriage.[5]
In 1973 at roughly the age of twenty, Andromeda and Ted had one child, Nymphadora Tonks. Andromeda selected the name, which her daughter strongly disliked, preferring to be known simply as "Tonks" by her friends. Ted, Remus Lupin' and Andromeda called her Dora for short.
Andromeda had a talent for cleanliness that her husband and daughter did not share.[4]
Her daughter Nympadora began her first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1984 and was sorted into Hufflepuff House at the Sorting ceremony. Nymphadora's Head of House was Professor Pomona Sprout, the Herbology teacher, who did not make her one of Hufflepuff's prefects in her fifth year because she lacked the ability to behave properly. Her daughter graduated from Hogwarts in 1991 and went on to train and later work as an Auror for the British Ministry of Magic. Nypmhadora worked as an Auror between the wars and during the Second Wizarding War. It's implied that Andromeda worried about her daughters safety frequently.
Second Wizarding War (1995-1998) Edit
- Andromeda: "What happened to our daughter? Hagrid said you were ambushed; where is Nymphadora?"
- Harry Potter: "I don't know. We don't know what happened to anyone else."
- — Andromeda asks Harry about her daughter's safety[src]
Although Andromeda and Ted did not appear to be official members of the Order of the Phoenix, they allowed their home to be one of the Order's safe-houses and were supportive of the organisation to which their daughter belonged. Nymphadora married Remus Lupin in the summer of 1997; he suspected that her parents did not approve because he was a werewolf, though it is unknown if this was true; given the fact that Andromeda wasn't supremacist these suspicions of Lupin may have not been true.
After the Battle of the Seven Potters, they were instrumental in Harry Potter's moving from Privet Drive to the Burrow: Harry Potter and Rubeus Hagrid took temporary refuge in the Tonks' home, where Andromeda took care of Hagrid's injuries. She seemed somewhat offended when Harry first reacted to her as if she were her sister Bellatrix because of their resemblance. She and Ted were both very worried about their daughter when they learned that the Order was ambushed by Death Eaters when transporting Harry, though Ted tried to reassure his wife by pointing out that their daughter had been through worse in the course of her work as an Auror.
When the Ministry of Magic fell under Lord Voldemort's control in August of 1997, the magical protections around the Order safe-houses were broken. Andromeda and Ted were interrogated and tortured by Death Eaters for information pertaining to Harry Potter and the Order. Their son-in-law reported that they were "shaken, obviously, but otherwise okay".[5] Soon after this, their daughter discovered that she was pregnant and came to stay with Andromeda and Ted, as her husband temporarily left her out of fear that he would pass on lycanthropy to their child.
The Ministry soon began persecuting Muggle-borns by forming the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, which charged Muggle-borns with having stolen their magic and their wands from "real" witches and wizards. Ted refused to register on principle and was forced to go on the run; Andromeda, as a pure-blood, was safe, and stayed with her pregnant daughter. Some time before the birth of her grandson Teddy, Andromeda was left a widow, as her husband was killed by Snatchers.
Andromeda's daughter and son-in-law were killed during the Battle of Hogwarts by Bellatrix Lestrange, Andromeda's sister, and Antonin Dolohov, respectively. Bellatrix was later killed by Molly Weasley.
Later life (Post 1998)Edit
Andromeda was left with custody of her grandson, though Teddy would also spend a lot of time with his godfather, Harry Potter, and the Weasley family.[5]
Physical appearanceEdit
Andromeda is described as closely resembling her elder sister Bellatrix physically (as Harry almost attacked her thinking that she was Bellatrix), though she has light brown hair instead of black, and has softer and wider eyes.[5] Thus, she is likely tall and bears the patrician beauty common to the Black family, aside her aforementioned eyes, which are kinder than her eldest sister's arrogant and heavily-lidded stare.Personality and traitsEdit
It is safe to assume, given her marriage to a Muggle-born, that Andromeda was very different from both of her sisters: while her sisters married into "respectable" pure-blood families, she married for love despite her family's opposition, leading to her family's hatred.
She is clearly a good mother showing her concern about her daughter's whereabouts after the Battle of the Seven Potters and taking care of her during her pregnancy, she is also a good grandmother raising her daughter's son after her death.
Apart from her husband and daughter, her cousin Sirius considered her to be his only true family, demonstrating that Andromeda always treated Sirius with respect and kindness. In addition of being a good wife, mother and grandmother, she is a good friend, because despite that she was under torture, she did not reveal anything that could harm Harry or any of her friends. Like Molly Weasley, Andromeda is a woman dedicated to her family and friends. Thus, in many ways, Andromeda's personality contradicted the "evil Slytherin" stereotype held by many students of the other Houses.
Magical abilities and skillsEdit
- Healing magic: After the Battle of the Seven Potters, Harry and Hagrid took refuge in her house, where she healed Hagrid's injuries. Given Hagrid's half-giant nature, and concomitant natural magical resistance, this does imply she was a talented healer.
- Household Charms: Andromeda had a talent for cleanliness, a talent that her husband and her daughter did not share.
Family Edit
Black Family Edit
Andromeda's relationship with her parents was likely a bad one. Because she married a muggle-born against her family's ideals of blood purity she was disowned and not considered a Black after that. It is safe to assume that her parents did not consider her as their daughter anymore and like Bellatrix and Narcissa cut off all contact with her. It is also possible that Andromeda's parents never met their granddaughter.It is unknown what kind of relationship Andromeda had with her older sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, and younger sister, Narcissa Malfoy, when they were younger. However, both her sisters believed in pure-blood supremacy, whereas Andromeda obviously did not, given her marriage.
After she married the Muggle-born Ted, Andromeda was disowned and both her sisters cut off all contact with her.[5] Andromeda's relationship with Bellatrix was likely particularly hateful, given that Bellatrix murdered Andromeda's cousin, Sirius Black,[4] as well as her daughter (though, given the circumstances, she likely didn't learn of the latter until after the battle and her eldest sister's death). Andromeda also seemed to be offended when Harry Potter, upon first seeing her, reacted as if she were her older sister.[5] Andromeda's relationship with Narcissa, however, is unknown.
Andromeda's younger cousin Sirius Black told Harry Potter in 1995 that Andromeda was his favourite cousin.[4] Like her, Sirius was considered a "blood traitor" by their family, and was disowned for his beliefs. Thus, the two were likely close in their younger years. Sirius considered Andromeda and Tonks his only, and true, family
Ted Tonks Edit
Andromeda married Ted Tonks in spite of her family's hatred of Muggle-borns, which led to her being disowned[4] and shunned by her own sisters. Thus, it can be assumed that the two loved each other greatly. Ted comforted his wife when they were unsure what happened to their daughter after the Battle of the Seven Potters, reassuring her that, as an Auror, Tonks had been through worse.[5]
Nymphadora Tonks Edit
- Remus Lupin: "Nymphadora Tonks, who prefers to be known by her surname only."
- Nymphadora Tonks: "So would you if your fool of a mother had called you Nymphadora."
- — Nymphadora Tonks and Remus Lupin[src]
Nymphadora and her mother were close, though Tonks disliked the given name her "fool of a mother" gave her.[4] Andromeda was frantic with worry over her daughter's participation in the Second Wizarding War, and opted to stay with her during her pregnancy while Ted went on the run from the Muggle-Born Registration Commission. When Tonks went to fight in the Battle of Hogwarts, she left her infant son in the care of his grandmother, who would raise the boy after his parents' deaths in battle with the help of Teddy´s godfather Harry Potter.[5]
Harry PotterEdit
The first time Harry met Andromeda, he thought that she looked a lot like her sister Bellatrix, but with softer, kinder eyes and lighter hair. Her resemblance to Bellatrix was such that Harry attempted to attack Andromeda, but upon realising his mistake, he felt bad and apologised as her physical comparison to her sister seemed offensive to her.
After Voldemort's downfall, Harry helped Andromeda raise her grandson, and his godson, Teddy Lupin. Harry liked and respected Andromeda for her ideals and because she was Tonks' mother. It is possible that after the war they would see each other regularly, and probable in such a scenario that they would develop a bond because of Teddy, Remus and Tonks's memory. It is also highly likely that Andromeda herself was welcomed at Harry and Ginny's house as a dinner guest.
Order of the PhoenixEdit
Andromeda wasn't an official member of the Order of the Phoenix, but nevertheless, she supported the Order's ideals (given her marriage to a Muggle-born). As her daughter and son-in-law were members, she would allow the Order use of her house as a safe house. It is likely that she has a good relation with all of the members, and as she was at Hogwarts at the same time as Arthur and Molly Weasley, so a friendship could have started there. The degree and nature of her involvement during the First Wizarding War is unknown, but it is reasonable to assume that she helped them in some way. Andromeda proved her loyalty in 1998 when she was tortured by Death Eater at her home and did not reveal anything of import regarding Harry or the Order, despite the fact that she was under torture.
Many members of the House of Black — such as Sirius, Bellatrix and Cygnus — appear to be named after stars or constellations, and the name Andromeda follows this pattern. It is a northern constellation that contains the Andromeda Galaxy and was named after the character from Greek mythology: a princess who was chained to a rock to be sacrificed to a sea monster, as divine punishment for her mother's (Cassiopeia) boasting, but was saved by the hero Perseus, whom she then married. This may allude to Andromeda Tonks' estrangement from her aristocratic, but cruel extended family.
Behind the scenesEdit
- Due to the similarities in appearance shared by Andromeda and her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, fans of the Harry Potter series set up an online petition to have Helena Bonham Carter, who plays Bellatrix, play Andromeda in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1.[6] However, as Harry and Hagrid escape to the Burrow rather than the Tonks house, Andromeda and Ted were both cut from the film.
- Out of the three Black sisters, Andromeda was the only sister that has not appeared in any of the films.
- Andromeda is also the only one of the five Black cousins who has not appeared in the films, as her two sisters appeared in the Half-Blood Prince through to the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, Bellatrix also appearing in the Order of the Phoenix, Sirius appeared in Prisoner of Azkaban through Order of the Phoenix and in Deathly Hallows: Part 2 and a younger Regulus appeared in one of Horace Slughorn's photographs in the Half-Blood Prince.
- Andromeda was only in her mid-40s when she had her grandson, Teddy Lupin.

- ↑ 1.0 1.1 The Black family tapestry shows that Andromeda is younger than Bellatrix, who was born in 1951, and older than Narcissa, who was born in 1955.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 In Chapter 4 of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, Horace Slughorn states: "The whole Black family had been in my house, but Sirius ended up in Gryffindor!" This implies that all Blacks except Sirius were Sorted into Slytherin while Slughorn was Head of House. Andromeda presumably attended Hogwarts from the mid-1960s to early 1970s, and thus would have been a student of Slughorn, who was stated to have begun teaching at Hogwarts around the same time as Albus Dumbledore in Chapter 5 of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, in 1938 or earlier. Sirius Black also states "My whole family have been in Slytherin" and in Chapter 23 of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, confirming that at least those Blacks closely related to Sirius were in Slytherin.

I love this design and especially the rubber soles were helpful - I had wanted them for long walks, light sports, etc. The soles did not disappoint, but the size of the crocs ran small (mostly because of the back strap). The crocs fits me nicely on 7 (I wear 7 in my other shoes/slippers) however once the back strap came up, it pushed my entire feet inward significantly, and with my toes crunched in, I wasn't able to walk in them anymore which was a shame. . Also as some others mentioned, it's pretty heavy relative to the classic crocs, wearing it without the back strap does not work well. And if you travel as much as I do, it adds more weight to your bags than my classic crocs. So I ended up returning/exchanging them for another design, which was an easy swap! Still I'm a supporter of Crocs,. I had my first classic pair for almost 10 years and traveled the world with it, super durable.

Comments about Crocs Retro Clog:
over all I love it! i recently got a new job and wear navy scrubs and this one goes really good with it. I often get compliments about this crocs, like colors and looks so comfortable..! it is comfortable but i feel a liiitle bit heavy to walk around, having said that it is durable. Anyways Crocs never disappointed me
Comments about Crocs Retro Clog:
Bought this white retro croc online, since none of their stores even the outlet ones have a WHITE CROCBAND CROC. Don't trust their size chart just order the size you normally wear in regular shoes or you will end up with a size bigger. since it says to round it to the bigger size after a small size survey, like i wear a 7.5 normally and it advised to make it into an 8 for a perfect fit, these are my home shoes so i don't mind the bigger size but if u plan to wear them out make sure u order your size...since its loose on the sides too due to the nature of the regular fit..... so the front and back needs to be just right to really enjoy them.
Comments about Crocs Retro Clog:

Comments about Crocs Retro Clog:
Love the look of these Crocs. Nice casual and comfortable slip-on. I did order a 12(I'm between an 11 1/2 and a 12), but it was too small. Sent it back for a 13, it fits great.
I was worried about the return shipping charge, but after contacting the company they waved the fee since there was no Croc store in my area in which to process the return.
Overall I'm happy with the purchase. Good addition to my shoe collection.

Comments about Crocs Retro Clog:
I got these to wear at the beach or water parks because they are so cute and feel great. They seem to fit like most the other Crocks. I wear a 6- 1/2 or 7 in regular shoes and a 6 fits good in these,but for lined Crocks I get a 7. I can't wait to rock these sweet puppies around this summer! ;)
Comments about Crocs Retro Clog:
The shoe does not restrict the top of your foot enough so consequently the foot slides forward inside the cavernous clog. When that happens your toes are constantly rubbing the shoe and turn into blisters. Bought them online and returned them to the nearest Croc store. Tried them all with no success because they are all huge even though I have wide feet. ended up with great flip-flops them.
Comments about Crocs Retro Clog:
Very nice, comfortable and they're non skid. I wear them boating and almost anywhere else. The style is very nice too. I have ordered 4 pair already, 2 for me, one for my son and one pair for my wife and we truly like them all.

Cleveland Golf Classic XL Fairway Wood
Just what I wanted.
Great from the fairway, I had a 7 wood before but this one far serpass the last one.
November 10, 2014
Freaking FANTASTIC
I honestly don't even use my driver anymore because I consistently hit it right in the fairway with this 3-wood. It is a lot easier to make up 30-40 yards of distance from the center of the fairway than it is to be long and in the trees. The ball JUMPS off the club face, and the sound is a crisp "SMACK" -- one of the best sounds you can get off a club. I bought the 15.5 degree 3-wood, and I am just going to buy the 5-wood and driver. Cleveland makes the best wedges - period - and I am beginning to feel like it is no coincidence that this fairway wood performs like a champ. It is not going to blow everyone away with it's looks. It is called the classic, looks classic, and is a classic performer. BUY IT and enjoy.

Must have in your bag! Club is very forgiving, consitent. When struck true, ball flight is incredible, not too high, and not too low but just right. I went with the 15.5 deg loft, and regular flex, club performs well. Cleveland is my club of choice for fairway woods and drivers. I loved this club so much, i went and bought the Classic XL driver. I look forward to smashing the ball the rest of this season!
August 12, 2014
I Bought the same Clubs - 5 &7 - at some other store and both Clubs were crooked !!!
I then order these Clubs from Dick's and I got FAST SERVICE with a set of PERFECT CLUBS !!! Thank You DICK'S !
I needed to Have a set of Irons adjusted because the LIE and LOFT were off, some as much as 4 degree upright - for a standard Set ???
I brought them to my Local DICK's and they sent them to TaylorMade to have the work done. In two weeks they were back at DICK's. They were set perfect and even Polished !
DICK's SENT THEM AND GOT THEM BACK TO ME AT "NO CHARGE" !!!
THANK YOU DICK's FOR A JOB WELL DONE !!!

Cleveland Classic XL Fairway Woods
Just the club I was looking for. Club head size was important.
Would have loiked a Senior flex.
June 25, 2014
Nice fairway wood. I purchased the 3 wood first and loved it. I could never hit my old fairway woods until I tried these. I was able to get the ball up and straight. I was never able to do this with my old fairway woods. The club just felt comfortable and easy to swing. I liked it so much I ordered the 5 wood.
June 25, 2014
Good heavy bottom feel pound it 235 stiff shaft great look
May 13, 2014
This club is great, providing better accuracy and more distance. This club gives you confidence to hit those long fairway shots and let's you really attack short par 4s. Go get it!!
October 28, 2013
This 3 wood has great balance, out hit all the compation.
.I feel very relaxed when hitting this wood, thats a must for long shots in to par 5s. Anyone looking for a new 3 wood should try this new classix xl.

Julia from White Stuff Dorchester volunteered with the shop's local charity, Mosaic, supporting children who've experienced bereavement. She joined them on a weekend away. Here's her account of a lively and emotional weekend.
"I didn't really know what to expect when I turned up on the Friday evening at Leeson House - a big, old house in the middle of nowhere. I had my bag packed with wellies, a teddy bear, torch, tissues and a big smile. I felt ready for the weekend ahead!"
Day one:
"The volunteers met and were put into groups. I was with the older children and was so excited to meet them. We were given an agenda and set to work straight away making beds for the 21 children and 15 helpers."
Day two:
"When the children arrived, we gave them a hoodie, name badge and handmade quilt (all provided by Mosaic) and a White Stuff bag from Casa del White Stuff. Every child brought a photograph of their lost one which was put onto a communal board. We had a tour of the house and did several team-building activities, including an obstacle course and craft session. Each group had a counsellor and these activities were designed to bring the children out of their shells and enable them to talk to us if they wanted to. As you can imagine, many tears were shed over the weekend.
It was encouraged that we did everything in our groups which really helped us to get to know the children. After lunch, we had time to tell 'our story', identifying strong emotions, how to manage them and generate questions for the Doctor. When he arrived, everybody sat together on beanbags and cushions. I found this session very difficult as the younger children asked questions like "Can you catch cancer?" and "Does it hurt to die?" This was a very peaceful but emotional time. Afterwards we played games outside to let off some steam!
The whole team came back into the hall after dinner where beanbags had been placed in a big circle. The lights were off and a big candle was lit in the middle. We each had an unlit candle and took turns to say who we were remembering. When we were done, we lit our candle from the person next to us. When we were ready, we blew out our candle and left the room very quietly. The children got to take their candle home.
The wellies came out for a couple of hours of orienteering afterwards with the older children, which was great fun. A cup of hot chocolate and a well-deserved leap into bed after an eventful night.
Day three:
"After breakfast, everyone was in the hall at 9am as an aerobics teacher arrived to get us energised for the day. We also did an anger workshop where we got to write or draw what made us angry. We explained our reasons before going outside to put the papers onto a big tarpaulin and threw clay at it until everybody's picture fell down. This was great fun, very therapeutic!
When their parents arrived mid-afternoon, the children gave a presentation in their groups, in front of everybody, discussing what they had done over the weekend. Finally, we all went outside with labels about our loved ones and attached them to a helium balloon. We let these go altogether and watched as flew away. This gave a great sense of closure for the children.
A few hours after everyone left I was tired, emotional, proud of myself and ready to see my own children. We were advised not to work the next day as the weekend would take its toll on us. Now I understand why!
The experience was exhilarating, having seen first-hand what a massive impact Mosaic have on these children, I would like to thank White Stuff for their support in choosing this charity and hope there are many more years to come."

The U.S. Census Bureau today released estimates from the American Community Survey, the most detailed portrait of America's towns and neighborhoods — even for the smallest communities within a metro area — for the combined years from 2007 to 2011. The American Community Survey permits communities to observe the composition of their population, from preschool to the oldest ages and milestones in between, including college, work and marriage.
Wide variation exists in the languages spoken at home, educational attainment, the share of persons working in manufacturing, marital status and living arrangements, and many other measures across the Seattle metropolitan area.
"The American Community Survey provides the only statistics on school enrollment, jobs, housing and many other measures for all towns and neighborhoods," said Thomas Mesenbourg, the Census Bureau's acting director. "The results are used by everyone from retailers, homebuilders and police departments, to town and city planners. The numbers permit them to examine demographic patterns within metropolitan areas."
Selected highlights from the 2007-2011 estimates show the wide variation in conditions within the Seattle metro area:
More information about the social, economic and housing characteristics of cities and towns in the Seattle area, as well as information on other geographies, can be found on the Census Bureau's American FactFinder website.
The American Community Survey five-year estimates are available for all states, counties, places, congressional districts, census tracts and block groups. Today's release marks the first time since the 2000 Census that statistics for ZIP Code tabulation areas — a close approximation of the U.S. Postal Service's ZIP Code areas — have been released on such a wide range of topics.
