Lobo Basketball
Tuesday: Lobos 52, BYU 37
Up Next: Lobos at San Diego State, 3 p.m., Saturday
By Richard Stevens -- Senior Writer/GoLobos.com
Lobo Amy Beggin, who almost went into the front row after a Brigham Young push, called it a "grind-it-out" game. True. Lobo coach Don Flanagan called it a "physical, defensive game." Also true. Nobody called it a thing of beauty.
The New Mexico Lobos' 52-37 Mountain West Conference win over BYU Tuesday in The Pit definitely wasn't a game of finess or style or offensive beauty. The Lobos shot 26.1 percent in the first half. BYU shot 14.3 percent. The Lobo guns roared to a 31.3 percent finish. BYU warmed up to shoot 28 percent.
The teams combined to miss 69 shots and only one player on the court, who shot more than two shots, hit 50 percent or better. That was UNM's Eileen Weissmann, who went 2-of-3, all from 3-point range. She also had seven rebounds, one assist, one blocked shot and one steal in 25 minutes.
"She just does so many little things that don't show up on the stat sheets at the end," Beggin said of Weissmann. "She doesn't always get the most points or the most rebounds, but she is a vital part of our team."
It was very much a two-Lobo show in the scoring column as Senior Angela Hartill had 18 points and Beggin had 17 to total 35 points. The rest of the UNM team came in with 17 points. Flanagan got four points off his bench, two points apiece for Georonika Jackson and Jessica Kielpinski.
"It's really important that you don't have a two-player team," said Flanagan. "It's not something I'm promoting. We just seem to have this nervousness on offense. We have a tendency to be nervous and afraid to make mistakes. Their (defensive) pressure probably bothered us, but I didn't like the impatience."
There might not have been much beauty on the floor, but there was at least one pretty sight for Flanagan on paper as he saw his Lobos' record flip to 18-6 overall and 7-4 in MWC play. The Lobos have a huge road game Saturday at San Diego State. The Lobos need to avenge an earlier Pit loss to the Aztecs.
Hartill and Beggin might have been the scoring leaders for UNM, but two other starters, Weissmann and Amanda Best, had some nice stats. Best had 10 rebounds and five points. The rest of the seven Lobos combined to go 1-of-14 from the floor.
"To their (BYU) credit, they played good defense," said Flanagan. "It wasn't that our offense was that bad. Our defense was pretty much smothering." The Lobos ended up with one more made field goal than BYU, but floored the Cougars from the line going 16-of-19 to 4-of-7 for the visitors from Provo, Utah.
"In that game, somebody needed to have a way to score," said Flanagan. "Getting to the free throw line was very important."
The Lobos jumped to an early 8-0 and it looked like they might blow BYU out of The Pit. The Cougars opened the game going 0-of-12 from the floor. But then BYU's defense kicked in and the Lobos muscled out an 18-11 halftime lead. The Lobos scored 34 points in the second half.
"We started being a little more patient on offense," said Hartill, who had no fouls in the game. "I thought we started playing a little better (offense) and kept playing great defense."
Both teams opened up the second half with improved shooting, but that wasn't difficult since BYU shot 14.3 percent in the first half and UNM shot 26.1 percent. Still, it was BYU with the hotter hand early and after a Mindy Nielson bucket cut UNM's lead to 25-20, Flanagan called a timeout at the 15:56 mark.
The Cougars opened the second half going 4-of-6 with Nielson scoring seven of BYU's first nine points. She had not scored in the first half. UNM was 3-of-7 for 42.9 percent.
Hartill pushed UNM up 27-20 on a 10-footer and Weissmann drilled a 3-pointer following an offensive board by UNM to push the Lobos up 10 points, 30-20. BYU's Jazmine Foreman came back with a trey and a 15-footer to make it 30-25. Jackson hit a field goal for UNM to make the score 32-25 going into a media timeout at 11:57. BYU already had more than doubled its points from the first half, but had not cut into UNM's seven-point halftime lead.
Hartill came out of the break and knocked down two free throws to push the Lobos up 34-25. Foreman hit two free throws at 11:29 to make it 34-27. BYU's Coriann Wood banged in a long trey to cut UNM's lead to 34-30. Weissmann gave UNM a seven-point gap with another trey to make it 37-30.
Beggin threw in a running jumper at 7:54 and The Pit got into UNM's 39-30 lead that BYU's Nielson quickly cut to 39-32, getting open underneath. At the 7:04 media break, it was still 39-32 with UNM shooting 38.1 percent and BYU 57.1 percent. Both teams had eight field goals at that point.
Foreman picked up her fourth foul at 4:45, holding UNM's Amanda Adamson on a drive. Cassie King, BYU's post, picked up her fourth a few seconds later reaching over Kielpinski. The Cougars came out of a break at 3:48 and threw up an air ball. King came down and held Kielpinski and King went to the bench at 3:48 with her fifth foul.
At the 3:48 timeout, Hartill and Beggin had combined for 26 points, 13 apiece. The rest of the UNM team had 13 points total. Kielpinski came out of the timeout to hit two free throws to make it 41-34.
BYU then missed a trey and Hartill got fouled following a Adamson shot and added two more free shots to raise UNM's lead to 43-34. BYU's Shawnee Slade hit a 3-pointer to cut the gap to 43-37. Hartill rolled in a layup off a Beggin pass to beat the shot clock and make it 45-37. Foreman forced a shot over Beggin and UNM came down, worked the clock down to a Kielpinski miss, but UNM's Best got the rebound. Flanagan called a timeout with 1:17 to play and up 45-37.
BYU came out of the break and quickly fouled Hartill, who missed, but Weissmann got the board. She got fouled and knocked down two free throws at 1:11 to push UNM up 47-37. UNM milked the clock and the free throw line into the 52-37 final.

5.0 out of 5 stars Overflowing with wisdom, compassion, and grace,
Amazon Customer "Shelf-Help" (Brownwood, TX United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dear Mr. Rogers, Does It Ever Rain in Your Neighborhood?: Letters to Mr. Rogers (Paperback)
In November of 1998, I was sitting in a computer lab/library at an airbase in Saudi Arabia when an unusual magazine cover caught my eye. It was an issue of ESQUIRE, and taking up almost the whole cover was none other than Mister Fred Rogers, grinning from ear to ear. I read Tom Junod's marvelous article about this heroic man (you'll have to find a copy of the article to learn why I use the word "heroic") over and over and over, many times out loud.
So my fascination with Mister Rogers was rekindled for the first time in more than 15 years. But as a child I was mostly fascinated with a magical trolley which could transport you into an enchanted land called Make-Believe. Mr. Junod gave me a much deeper - and therefore, much more fascinating - glimpse at what this man is like.
He was a man who loved children and the adults who once were children as much as he loved himself. He hated television. He believed (or so his actions seem to convey) that his outflow of compassion was as much a necessity for his survival as his intake of oxygen. And his favorite word was grace. In fact, if you met him in person and received his autograph, he would write the word "grace" underneath it - in Greek.
Unmerited favor received from God.
Believing his standards to be no higher than that of God's, Mister Rogers strove to treat others with as much grace as he had received.
The reason I state all of this is because it will all be proven when you read DEAR MISTER ROGERS. This book, containing letters both to and from Mister Rogers, shows that he can be funny, sad, nurturing, and firm. But he was always compassionate. Never in this book is he ever insincere. On more than a few occasions, he proves he does not lack the humility to admit some of the mistakes he has made in life.
Some of the letter exchanges are very cute. None are more so than the one about the father whose little boy insisted that Mister Rogers doesn't "poop"; to which Mister Rogers replies, "I am a real person. And, one thing for certain is that all real people 'poop.'" (Page 7)
The fact that Mister Rogers had a hand in compiling and editing all of these letters, shows his sense of humor. For instance, in the final chapter, 17-year-old Tyler writes
Dear Mister Rogers,
In your younger years did you get a lot of chicks because you were Mister Rogers?
(Page 185)
Some of the letters will provoke different emotions, like the ones from Alexandria, who at the tender age of four, was suffering from leukemia; and another letter about one child who listened to (rather than watched) the program because she was blind. (Interesting side-note I learned from Mr. Junod's article: Mr. Rogers was color-blind.)
Unfortunately, it appears that this book is going out of print. But this book is one of those rare gems that are worth looking hard for. I guarantee that this book will bring you pleasure every time you read it.

He flashes back to Bristol, Tennessee, last fall, when they had to strip the car down to the frame rails and replace the engine, transmission and clutch before going into the final. Five people busting ass in 45 minutes, shoving on heat-resistant gloves to yank out the sizzling engine.
Hoelscher interrupts the memory, thrusting "hero cards" into his stepson's hands for autographs. They buy 10,000 at a time, and they last maybe five races. They're not cheap, either, McAmis thinks ruefully. But you've got to have them. People come around with bags and collect them.
He leans against the trailer, listening to his stepdad tell a fan how they started out doing tractor pulls when Tim was in high school and how Tim pulled that little tractor all the way to the state championship.
"He's long since passed me up," says Hoelscher. "Tim's real smart."
McAmis waves away the compliment and walks behind the car. He prefers work to praise, believes people make their own luck.
The rear right tire's flabby now, slumped against the wall, waiting to be pumped back to importance. McAmis glances at the eighth-inch dimples engineered into the $500 treadless tire, knowing its gummy-smooth surface will wear that far in just a few races. Then he frowns and crawls under the wheel well, not even noticing that he's kneeling on a wrench. He runs a finger over a spot worn white, palpating the metal like an ER doctor.
Wheel shake. Too much clutch.
How much can he get away with tonight?
He glances over to the shady patch where family members, in from out of town, sit on folding chairs, fan themselves, hold cold beer cans against their foreheads. Nice that they came, but he can feel the pressure building. When you're racing near home, people come and watch. They want to see you win.
At 7 p.m., the air's only marginally cooler, sticky with the day's $5 lemonades, corndogs and cotton candy. A kid has his head down on a picnic bench. Flushed vendors lean on their booths' counters, selling the gloves and helmets and wheel covers that turn the morning commute into fantasy.
The crowd's denser by the minute, people standing six deep at the rail.
On the way to line up for the evening race, McAmis passes the pro-stock bikers' rigs. Mike Phillips' tall, beautiful wife stands with her hands on her hips, already sick of the smell of motor oil on her clothes and hair. The couple's little girls sleep on a blanket, their African-American skin dark against its pink folds. McAmis thanks God one more time that drag racing's not lily-white.
NASCAR's still "redneck racin'" at its root, shaped by the good ol' boys who love to see those Confederate flags flying in the stands. It started in the Southeast in the 1930s, when moonshine runners, whiskey-trippers, tried to elude federal and state revenuers on winding roads. But drag's a simple impulse, a way to settle the age-old question of whose car goes faster, and it's influenced by just about everybody. McAmis has won trophies in Puerto Rico, and he's built cars for racers from Sweden, England, Australia and Canada.
The car glides to a stop in a long line. He rubs his dark-blue eyes, stinging from the nitromethane the funny cars have just plumed into the air. When it's dark, they'll look like moving torches, their headers shooting orange flames into the blackness. The heat of the exhaust actually sets the excess fuel on fire.
He stares straight ahead, eyes crinkled, mind as still as a Zen monk's.
The roar of the engines does not suggest lions. Purely mechanical, akin to nothing in nature, it fills the air, shakes the ground, fills the chest of every human at the rail. People wince happily, clap their hands over their ears, smile like saints during a vision. The sound is superhuman, its power transcendent.
But the rhythm of the revving is primal, cresting in the body like lust or rage.
McAmis hears this without hearing it. Anticipation calms him. He'll do the burnout in the usual blur, his mind leaping ahead of habit to reckon with the only six seconds that matter.
The Sanders brothers strap him into his five-point harness, hook the air line to his helmet, tug the belt tight. McAmis slides his foot under the metal that holds it in place above the accelerator, locking in, glad he can pry up on the metal if the pedal gets stuck.
He likes safety. Most drag racers die of natural causes, he regularly reminds his wife and mother.
February scared them.
He'd gone alone, sick with the flu, to run tests in Darlington, South Carolina. Got in at 1 a.m., up at 5 a.m. Dosed himself good with Tylenol; no food since noon the day before. Strapped in, took off -- and lost consciousness.
He woke up in a field of cows.
All this flashes in a millisecond as he watches workers powder the bald spot at the starting line, rubber torn away by launch after launch. He takes better care of himself now; he's stopped guzzling Sun-Drop citrus soda and eating miniature Milky Ways for lunch.

Ashley Fields has reached a High Point in her basketball career.
The Goose Creek standout signed with the college by the same name last week, agreeing to play for the Big South Conference school after graduation. She also held offers from East Carolina and Winthrop.
I feel very blessed just to have the opportunity to play college basketball with everything Ive been through, Fields said.
Shes referring to a left knee injury that was more of a problem than most people knew.
Fields landed on a rock while running down the bleachers in preseason workouts before last season and her kneecap popped out of place, leading to months of problems with the knee. She played through the pain all season and Lady Gators coach Tim Baldwin said the kneecap often slipped out of place.
Fields battle with swelling and fluid on the knee was a daily grind.
It was during every game and every practice, Fields said.
The pain made it tough to play but she competed through it.
It was unreal, she said. I really cant describe it. Ive definitely never felt pain like that before. I did it for my team, the seniors.
She went on to average 10.3 points, 5.3 boards and 3.2 steals last year but wasnt close to 100 percent.
Fields had surgery to stabilize the knee after last season, when the Lady Gators played for the Lower State championship.
Shes averaging team highs with 12.8 points, 5.8 rebounds and 6.2 steals this winter and has the Lady Gators off to a perfect start.
Fields said it speaks volumes about High Points coaching staff for sticking with her through her knee injury.
It shows they were loyal to me and saw the potential I had, Fields said. Im very thankful for that.
I love the campus and the coaching staff. It feels like a home environment. Everybody is like family there.
High Point is located near the center of North Carolina, less than an hour from Greensboro and Winston Salem. The school is noted for its scenery and recently had a half billion dollars worth of renovations.
The school is liberal arts college associated with the United Methodist Church.
This is something thats not only going to allow her the opportunity to better herself in basketball, its giving her an education for free, Baldwin said.

this guys is such a loser. and his friends sound like losers "war machines a beautiful disaster, he doesnt think about anything he does" yeah way to go, great friends you got. love you or hate you? yo i dont think anyone in the mma community really cares about you.
This guy has brough this all on himself. He needs to grow up. I predict he does drugs and becomes feeble and takes it up the ass for crack. Then gets shot in the face.
is this crazy stil with bellator?
this guy got slept by an anaconda choke! what a lop.
And you wouldn't?
the War Machine is more famous for going to jail then for mma
10$ says none of you cunts could go thru the shit he has been in his fights. sit there and keep sitting all your shit while he will always be famous and well known for what he has achieved in mma while yous sit here and keyboard warrior yourselves only lookin like more of a complete fuck head then you already are, war machine has great heart and hasnt made a few of the best decisions in life, have you read up on his life and what hes been thru? fuckin kudos to him for atleast putting the effort in to change his life and yes cunt slips up now and then except when your a public figure anything 'wrong' you do will always be thrown out of proportion because as always A HATERS GONNA HATE… mother fuckers
If you are going to call people losers , trolls , and keyboard warriors you should at least know how to spell. Motherfuckers is one word not 2 !
The have a name for people that continuously make those types of decisions and blown oppurtunities that War Machine has made and blown. Its called being an IDIOT !
Cool story bro.
@cool story bro can i join the war machine fan club with you i love a mma fighter that goes to the ufc and gets taped and cut
as for keyboard warriors we as the fans that spend tons of money on a product get to critique it the way we want you don't get famous and not have to deal with problems other famous people get if people can't handle backlash when there in the entertainment biz because mma is the entertainment biz go work in a factory you can't take a fist full of our money and tell us where wrong with whatever opinion we have
and my only fight video was from a club and it was played in a courtroom its no ufc but im undefeated
Uhhhh …is this supposed to be a comeback story? I don't see the comeback
i like war machine he sucks but he comes to fight
wow your all keyboard heroes he has accomplished more than half you shit cunts, i personally respect a guy who one has one of the greatest fights ever in the ufc in his fight with j-rock then fucks up goes to jail totally remakes himself for the better comes out and finishes huerta you cunt probably dont even know anything about why he went back so fuck you all who get on a keyboard and talk shit about a guy who could literally destroy you if you said it to his face. idiotsand dickheads if you out caught in an anaconda choke and didnt tap you would go out just like him, thing is you dumb cunt probably dont even know what it is fucking keyboard warriors

Reverend Father Yonssef Asaad
On the 24t5 of September our Coptic Orthodox Church celebrates the departure of Rev. Fr. YOuSSeC Asaad. S.c was born of two righteous parents. His father's name was Asaad and his mother's name was Rachel. After the lord granted them two daughters they prayed to God to give them a son. After seven years of prayer, Saint Mary appeared to his mother earr'ing a child and giving it to her, telling her to call him 'Youssef'. Indeed on the 16 of September 1944 this blessed. child was born.
i-Ic grew in spirituality and was full of the divine gifts from a young age. When he was [6 years old he started serving and grew up in it. He then enrolled in the Faculty of Agriculture and he moved from Banha to Cairo where he met Rev. Fr Mikhail Ibrahim, Marcos Dawood and Salib Sourial. He absorbed from the active fiery spirit of these bessed priests who are well known for their great service for the Church. As for Yousselç he graduated with a Distinction average and the government wanted to send him to Italy to extend his studies, but he desired the monastic life. However, the sudden departure of his father forced him to stay with his mother and three sisters.
The Lord arranged for Hi-i. Pope Kyrillosto asic him to serve as a priest. Thus, in choosing his wife, Yossef, his mother and his confession father prayed that God guide him to the suitable person. God answered him through a dream by his mother. When he met his confession father, he suggested the same lady seen by his mother in the dream, so he knew that she was from God.
1-Ifs ordination was by H.G. Anha Doniadious and he was ordained on Saint Mary's Church in Ornraniyah on the 2e of November 1967. At the time, the church was just a brick floor, but through his prayers, wisdom and service, it became an acclaimed architectural masterpiece. In literature, he left us about 155 books. in sermons, there are approximately 346 tapes of his teachings.
He departed after a tragic accident on the morning of Friday 24/9/1993. His funeral service was headed by HG. Anba Moussa as a representative of the Pope and attended by three other bishops, 125 priests, many consecrated deaconesses and thousands of members of the congregation who loved him, his service and his angelic voice.
Dear reader; Our beloved Father Youssef Asaad was a great example of the contemporary priest and shows us the val tie of congregational prayer. 1-Ic prayed for his marriage a[ong with his mother and confession father, so the Lord guided him to the suitable person. His mother prayed to God to give her a son, so he gave her a blessed son. Whoever thinks they can reach heaven without a prayerful relationship with the Lord is deceived by the devil. Prayer is the ladder between heaven and earth. The Lord is able to grant us acceptable prayers through the intercessions of the Virgin Saint Mary and the prayers of Fr. YoussefAsaad. Remember me in your prayers.
Reverend Father Yonssef Asaad

6 Responses to "UFC on Fox 7 Bonus Report: Brown, Mein, Thomson, and Romero take Home $50,000"
Congrats to these guys they deserved it. ….But can you hear it…listen…That's right here comes the Team Alpha Champions. Wrestler's dominate. Those three guys deserve bonuses too.
Wrestlers dominate…not when they face elite Jujitsu, case in point, Dan Henderson v's Jake Shields and Jon Fitch v's Demian Maia…both totally dominated. I can also see Vinny Magalhaes pulling off a submission victory against Phil Davis.
LOL….do you really want me to list off all the so-called elite bjj boys that have been dumped and beat up by wrestler's??? I will if you want. But I think most people already know that wrestlers dominate bjj. Here is the hierarchy in mma:
#1 – Wrestling
#2 – Wrestling
#3 – Wrestling
#4 – Boxing
#5 – Thai/Kickboxing
#6 – juijitsu
Shield's controlled a gassed Hendo after he shot his wad beating the guy silly. Maia did neutralize Fitch, but all he did was hold on to him. I don't remember a submission, do you? So what Maia actually did was WRESTLE most of the time. As a juijitsu player, do you actually understand when something is juijitsu and when it is wrestling?
Wrestling IS a huge part of MMA, I agree. But when wrestling is the main art that fighters rely on, the fights that they are involved in tend to be less exciting. The IOC is removing wrestling because they feel that there are other sports which are more relevant (and more liked). Wrestling isn't one of them because it just isn't that enjoyable to watch.
I wouldn't say it's always the case but at times the guys with elite jujitsu skills can neutralize great wrestlers, I agree it's a fine line when the guy is holding and controlling the fighter but you couldn't call what Maia did to Fitch as wrestling. Jujitsu is as much about smarming and controlling your opponent as wrestling is. I raised the Phil Davis match up with Vinny as a good example, I'm really looking forward to seeing how their skills match up. Davis has great wrestling but Vinny truly has elite jujitsu…
I do agree being able to wrestle and also counter wrestle keeping the fight standing or get back to standing is the thing that wins most fights, GSP is the perfect example because he's able to control where the fight is better than anyone in MMA today.
I disagree on the Shields fight though, I thought it was a mismatch and Hendo would destroy him but it was the opposite, a much smaller Shields completely controlled him.
@juijitsu player. First Shields never submitted Hendo. He couldn't knock him out either in full mount. Hendo got gassed from trying to ko Shields in the first which he almost did. Shields juijitsu did nothing otherwise he would have submitted him. Vinny is a snake for sure but Davis is a dominant grappler and he will nullify most of Vinny's offense. I see Davis beating him easily. To me juijitsu is way to soft, whereas wrestling is controlling and dominate. The best fighters are those that use wrestling and striking and if in dominant position my do a choke on the ground. juijitsu is not how you win an mma fight.
^^^very true I agree. They fought great

.OGG File Extension
NEW: Open .OGG files for FREE with File Viewer
|File Format Description
Compressed audio file that uses free, unpatented Ogg Vorbis audio compression; similar to an .MP3 file, but sounds better than an MP3 file of equal size; can include song metadata, including artist information and track data; supported by many software music players and some portable music players.
The Ogg format is a container used for storing audio data. The term "Vorbis" refers to a specific encoding scheme provided by Xiph.Org, the developers of Ogg. OGG files may also include other types of audio compression, including FLAC and Speex. However, these files then cannot officially be referred to as "Vorbis" files, since they use a different compression scheme.

Tennessee will attempt to erase all memories of last year's debacle in Baton Rouge when the Tigers visit Rocky Top on Saturday.
However, their chances of succeeding are slim and none.
Led by Heisman Trophy candidate Tyrann Mathieu on defense and fifth-year senior quarterback Jarrett Lee on offense, LSU comes into Neyland as the 17.5 point favorite and a favorite to win the SEC and national titles. The undefeated Tigers have already defeated four nationally ranked teams: Oregon, Mississippi State, West Virginia and Florida by a combined 82 points—147 to 65.
LSU's power run game, explosive wide receivers and dominate defense spell trouble for a young, depth-lacking Tennessee squad, which will be without its two best players.

Full detailed profile on Katie Peretti Frasier Coleman Kasnoff Snyder Played by Terri Conn Colombino on As the World Turns Daytime Soap Opera.
Terri Conn Colombino
Birthday: 1975-01-28
Chris tracks down Katie. She seems disturbed and dusts herself off, explaining that she had to run all over town looking for Barbara. She finally stopped herself because she realized that she only cares about Vienna's love life because she doesn't have one. She cries about Brad and how she wants her old life back. They go over the day they've been having and she tells him Barbara may be detained for the wedding. He goes to get the car while she changes out of her dirty clothes.
Bob and Kim arrive at Al's. He scopes out the hors d'oeuvres and they joke around about being newlyweds. They hope Chris and Barbara can get something like what they have. Henry arrives, greets everyone and starts drinking. Everyone guesses he's drinking because of Barbara. Josiah, the clergyman, arrives, dressed as Vulcan. Henry continues to drink and Bob starts to wonder if he can stand through the ceremony. Paul is about to leave to look for his wife when she walks in, ranting about his mom. She assures him his mother won't be coming and tells him not to call her. Vienna rushes in and declares that she has something important to say. He notices that she is showing all of a sudden. She declares that she wants to marry him right now. Chris and Katie arrive and Paul calls everyone to take their places. Everyone looks around for Barbara. Josiah begins the ceremony.
Vienna rushes over to Katie's. She's a ball of nerves and worries about where Henry spent the night, Katie tries to calm her fears but Vienna is freaked out that Barbara knows she was knocking boots Casey. "Make Barbara go away," Vienna begs. Katie suggests she try telling the truth but Vienna isn't going to take a chance like that. She plays the Brad card and suggests that he would want her to be with Henry. Katie decides to help her get ready for the wedding.
Henry is sleeping at a table in the Lakeview when Barbara walks over and wakes him. He leaps up and asks for a caffeine IV drip. When he tells her he spent the night apart from Vienna, she assumes his fiancée came clean with him and tells him it was for the best. He's perplexed. She covers and they flirt. He wants them to be friends and asks her not to make this any harder than it is. Vienna and Katie peer through the doorway at them. Vienna worries that Barbara is ratting her out so she calls Henry and tells him not to run late for their wedding. Barbara walks Henry out and then spots Vienna. She sashays over and wonders why Henry is marrying someone who treats him like a dishrag. Katie loads Vienna into the elevator and Barbara marches off.
Henry is in the graveyard talking to Brad's headstone. He misses him and longs for his advice. Although he loves Vienna, he can't get Barbara out of his head. She put him back together and needed him in a way that Vienna never could. He worries he's making the worst decision of his life. When he hears a noise, he fears the ghost has returned but it's just Katie. She asks him if he's having second thoughts. "I'm on my third round of them," he says. He wants to do what's best but... She tells him he belongs with Vienna and reminds him of how happy the four of them were when Brad was around. Katie begs him not to let go of that. After he leaves, she talks to Brad, hoping she just did the right thing and everything will work out. She admits that there is someone in her life now but no one will ever take away what she feels for him.
Vienna goes to Katie's with her dress and her fake baby belly. Katie wishes she would just tell Henry the truth. Vienna pours the herbs she bought into some water and gulps it down. She continues to worry about Barbara and Katie tells her to think positive thoughts.
Katie and Chris are making out at the hospital. She pulls away and asks him if he is really keeping the secret for her sake. He broke the law for her and only for her. As he takes her hand, Casey barges in. Katie runs and Casey asks Chris for his help again. Chris tells him that he knows for a fact that he's not the father of Vienna's baby. Casey is a bit disappointed.
Henry and Vienna are in bed and she worries that he's still thinking of Barbara. He rolls over and says that he's actually thinking about how she's been pregnant for weeks and isn't showing. She claims that the women in her family don't show until very late. He remembers that didn't happen when she was pregnant last time. Katie shows up and tells them that she is taking them out for an engagement celebration.
Kim and Barbara meet Chris at Metro. Barbara looks forward to not seeing Henry and Vienna. Chris tells her not to turn around. The couple walks in with Katie. The two groups sit across the room from each other. Vienna takes Katie aside to make sure she got Chris to shut his mouth. Katie makes a toast to the engaged couple. Henry reminds Vienna she can't drink if she's pregnant. "Oops," she says. Chris wanders over and asks Katie to dance. She claims her ankle is injured. He trudges off and Henry walks Katie off to dance. Chris takes Barbara onto the dance floor. The couples soon switch off. Vienna decides to cut in and rips Barbara away from Henry. A fight breaks out. The women are pulled apart. Vienna taunts Barbara until she leaves. Henry tells his fiancée that was uncalled for. Chris and Katie watch. He thinks things don't look good but offers to take her to the wedding anyway. He hands her a flower and she smiles at him. Casey strolls in and asks Henry if he can cut in on his dance with Vienna. Henry runs off. Vienna refuses to talk to Casey and storms away.
Katie is putting Jacob to sleep at home. She looks at a photo of Brad and talks about their wedding. Chris calls to check up on her. He says he wants her to know something. She says she does know and she's glad. She smiles and agrees to see him tomorrow.

I got this mickey mouse plaque from my great aunt about 15 years ago. She told me she got it on the day that disneyland opened and being one of the first 500 into the park. Anyone know anything about this?
I got this mickey mouse plaque from my great aunt about 15 years ago. She told me she got it on the day that disneyland opened and being one of the first 500 into the park. Anyone know anything about this?
Never heard or seen this before. I'd love to find out more about this!
Do you know if it was opening day July 17th or when it opened the next day for the general public?
I may be confused, was the 17th invite only : Press and Celebrities?
Little and broken, but still good.
It looks like something for valentines day. You might be sitting on a ill piece of Disneyland history.
I read somewhere that when Disneyland first opened Walt didn't want too many Mickey Mouse references because if the park failed he didn't want people to associate Mickey Mouse with the failure. That's why he opted not to call it Mickey Mouse Park, which had been previously considered. I'm not saying your grandma is lying but it would surprise me if that had been given out as a souvenir, especially during the early days of the park.
You might need to contact the archives on this one.
Take it to Vegas and have Rick, the Old Man, Hoss, or Chumlee call in an expert.
(OK, I clearly watch that show too much.)
Another thing to consider is the design of that Mickey. The 30s (pre-Freddie Moore) Mickey wasn't the dominant version seen in the mid-50s -- it was mostly (though not always) the Mickey from the late 40s through early-50s shorts, a variant of which was used on the Mickey Mouse Club TV show titles.
I'd also question the heart design, as something that doesn't quite seem like a Disneyland Opening Day giveaway.
This isn't proof of anything one way or the other, just saying that it's something for the OP to inquire about further.

- Neil Gabler
It sounds like Vegas might be my best bet. Might have to take it in there the next time I go. Thank you for the help everyone!
My problem with this is the coloring. The colors are too bright to be from the 50's it looks like you have a very confused Aunt. I think you need to sit down with her and ask her.
Check out my work on openstreetmap.org
The aunt passed about 10 years ago. The colors probably look bright from the cell phone taking the picture. Might have added some saturation.
I don't think this is from Disneyland's opening. To me, it just looks "too new" to be from the mid-'50s. I have also never heard of the first 500 guests recieving a gift either. Your aunt may have been the first 500 to recieve this for some event, but I am very suspicious that this is from July of 1955 because it just not seem to fit Disney's design style for Mickey from that era.
As for condition, it could've been stashed away in a shoebox for all these years. I think the Mickey looks a little newer than it should. I wish I remembered the Archives' email. This would be a perfect thing to ask them.
Since May 2003

NACCRRA and Save the Children Release Recommendations for
Protecting Children in Child Care During Emergencies
National Standards promote strengthening emergency preparedness in child care
Washington, D.C.–February 23, 2011-The National Association of Child Care Resource & Referral Agencies (NACCRRA) and Save the Children's U.S. Programs released today National Standards for emergency planning in child care. Protecting Children in Child Care During Emergencies makes specific recommendations and establishes guidelines for incorporating disaster preparedness in state child care regulations.
There are more than 300,000 licensed child care facilities in the United States. While most states' regulations for child care centers and family child care homes address fire drills, many state regulations fall short in protecting children during tornados, earthquakes, industrial accidents and other disasters that may require evacuation, lockdowns, sheltering in place or reunification of children with their parents following a disaster.
"Our nation's children spend, on average, 36 hours per week in some form of child care and most of the child care workforce has not received basic disaster preparedness training," said Linda K. Smith, Executive Director of NACCRRA. "A comprehensive and viable emergency plan must be a core component of state child care regulations to ensure that all children are protected in times of crisis."
The recommended National Standards address issues uncovered in a 2010 Save the Children study which found that 36 states are missing key child care regulations that wouldbetter protect children in child care before, during and after disasters. As a result, NACCRRA and Save the Children developed detailed child care emergency preparedness standards to implement Save the Children's policy recommendations and serve as a model for states.
"The most vulnerable Americans in the most vulnerable settings are made more vulnerable because of government inaction," said Mark Shriver, Senior Vice President for Save the Children's U.S. Programs. "We are thrilled to partner with NACCRRA to help fight to make sure that every state and every child in America is protected when disaster strikes."

Countless women and men experience sun damage, hyper pigmentation, age spots, and brown patches on their skin as they age. This is simply melanin in the skin, which has built up and left a layer of darkened cells. This occurs over the years, and is due to accumulated sun damage or exposure to UV rays. On the bright side, there are a number of treatments available these days to deal with hyper pigmentation of the skin. One of these is Arcona Lightening Drops, which is an over-the-counter option that can be used at home. This formula is available for $35.
Product Details
Just so you are aware, there are numerous professional treatments you can acquire for sun damage and age spot reduction. Some of these are Microdermabrasion, chemical peels, and laser treatments. However, Arcona Lightening Drops is a less invasive treatment that is simply applied to dark spots or hyper-pigmented patches each night. This formula is marketed as a corrective serum that is rich in vitamins and botanicals. It may help reduce the appearance of age spots, acne scars, sun damage, and discoloration. With daily use, your complexion should appear smoother, brighter, and more even toned.
There are three core ingredients mentioned for Arcona Lightening Drops. The primary substance that is added to treat hyper pigmentation and skin discoloration is Azelaic Acid. Witch Hazel is used in this serum to help cleanse and tone the facial skin. Lactic Acid is added to slough off dead surface cells, which may help diminish dark spots over time. Unfortunately there are no user reviews or feedback posted for Arcona Lightening Drops. Nor are there any before and after photos.
The Good
- There are several natural ingredients used in Arcona Lightening Drops.
- This formula also contains Kojic Acid to inhibit melanin production.
- You can easily acquire this anti-aging serum online.
The Bad
- There does not appear to be a satisfaction guarantee provided with this serum.
- This formula may irritate the skin of some users.
- This serum does not assist with wrinkle reduction.
- Arcona Lightening Drops may increase your skin's sensitivity to sunlight.
The Bottom Line
When it comes down to it, Arcona Lightening Drops is basically a serum that endeavors to improve hyper pigmentation, age spots, and sun damage. After reviewing the complete ingredient list for this serum, it is clear that several natural ingredients are added to control melanin production in the skin, and help exfoliate darkened cells. Therefore Arcona Lightening Drops may assist some individuals with correcting sun damage and hyper-pigmented skin. On the other hand, this serum is not intended to boost collagen production, diminish wrinkles and lines, and improve skin firmness. Therefore it is unlikely suitable for everyone.

PRINCETON, N.J., March 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Pharmasset, Inc. (Nasdaq: VRUS) announced today that dosing has started in a phase 1, single ascending dose (SAD) study in healthy volunteers with PSI-7851, a second generation nucleotide analog polymerase inhibitor of hepatitis C virus (HCV). Pharmasset filed an Investigational New Drug Application (IND) with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) earlier this quarter.
"This is a significant milestone for Pharmasset. PSI-7851 is a wholly owned, second generation nucleotide analog that was discovered by Pharmasset scientists" stated Dr. Michelle Berrey, Pharmasset's Chief Medical Officer. "We continue to see nucleos(t)ide inhibitors as having the potential to be the cornerstone of future HCV treatment, given their higher barrier to resistance and antiviral activity across multiple HCV genotypes, characteristics that set them apart from other HCV drug classes. We look forward to reporting the first antiviral data with PSI-7851 in the second half of 2009."
About PSI-7851
PSI-7851 is a uridine nucleoside analog currently in developed for the treatment of chronic HCV infection. PSI-7851 has demonstrated in vitro anti-HCV activity with EC(50) values of 90 +/- 60 nM, which is approximately 15- to 20-fold more potent than the active metabolite of Pharmasset's first generation nucleoside polymerase inhibitor, R7128. In vitro studies of PSI-7851 have not shown evidence of any mitochondrial or other cellular toxicities that may be associated with some nucleoside analogs. The half-life of the triphosphate in primary human hepatocytes is approximately 38 hours, which suggests the possibility for once-daily dosing. Like R7128, PSI-7851 has demonstrated in vitro activity against all of the most common HCV genotypes.

As of Sunday, July 1, 16 percent of Iowa's corn crop had silked, two weeks ahead of normal (USDA July 1). A good share of the crop will silk in the next few days to two weeks. This is the most critical time for corn in terms of effects on yield potential (see Elmore ICM News), a time when water use maximizes (see Al-Kaisi et al., ICM News). Unfortunately, this timing coincides with dry soils across most of Iowa and a forecast for unseasonably high temperatures at least through the end of this week. Many wonder about the impact of this 'perfect storm' on corn yield potential. How will this rare combination of circumstances - corn at the most critical developmental stage, dry soils and hot dry weather persisting for several more days – impact yield potential? The corn simulation model, Hybrid-Maize, helps us address these questions.
Figure 1. Yield advantage for July 2 conditions over those of July 8 within yield groups and locations.
As of July 2, corn may not have yet experienced yield reductions. Although yield estimates vary with locations based on July 8 model runs, if 2012 turns out as 'median' year, we may see yield reductions of 7 to 9 percent due to the weather forecast for the week of July 2-8. The best news is that yields at this time can still better the worst year experienced at each of the sites.
We must remember that not all of Iowa's corn emerged on May 1 and will enter critical phases of crop development during better conditions. That, of course, remains to be seen.
We all know that many things can happen between now and harvest. If soil moisture conditions do not improve, yields will be reduced much more than these estimates. Meanwhile, let's hope for cooler temperatures and rain!

"Water Stress Begins at 86F" according to 10- year-old research on corn in the Midwest. This is better stated: "At temperatures of 86F (30C) corn plants reach incipient water stress more than 50 percent of the time." Naturally, this does not apply to irrigated crops and specifically it applies to non-irrigated corn in the Midwest. In a year with ideal moisture, a perfectly healthy corn plant in prime soil does not begin to expeience water stress until temperatures exceed 92F and perhaps not then if humidity is high. Still, 86F is the average and because the government tends to work with the average. the average was set as the upper bound for the U.S. Corn Growing Degree Day and as the lower bound for water stress. The number is rarely the exact switch-over point, but it is "good enough for government work." Because we have the government's critical point numbers, we can make use of them (while remaining keenly aware of the limitations).
Looking at averaged Midwest corn yields over the past 30 years, I note that when the SDD (Stress Degree Day based on temperature exceeding 86F) total exceeds 140 it is tough to find corn yields above trend.
How does 2012 stand as of July 2nd? Just a sample of the Corn Belt gives us a hint: Most states have nine crop reporting districts. District 5 is the most central of the nine in most states. District 5 is not necessarily the best district to represent the conditions for an entire state; I simply chose it as an example. As of the reports of July 2nd, 2012, the SDD totals since May 1st are:
With the exception of the Northern Corn Belt (ND, SD,MN, WI, MI), it is likely, according to current National Weather Service outlooks, that the remaining eight Corn Belt states will accumulate SDD well in excess of 140. Only under extraordinary conditions could we expect all of them to exceed their trend yields for corn in 2012. The U.S. corn trend is about 161 BPA for 2012 according to NASS.USDA.GOV (figure 1). Should the eight other major producing states of the Corn Belt fall below their trend yields it becomes likely that the U.S. yield will also be below the trend.
Figure 1. The 2012 US Corn trend yield estimated from the USDA yield records back to 1981 is about 160BPA. The trend is the "best" straight line through a 30-year yield record extrapolated to the subsequent year. Graph source: http://www.nass.usda.gov/Charts_and_Maps/Field_Crops/cornyld.asp
The accumulated SDD through June 12, 2012, for Washington, Iowa was near 30 (Figure 2). This early accumulation was a hint of things to come in that it was significant and began accumulating rapidly at about the same time the SDD accumulation began during the disastrous crop year of 1988. In both cases, the accumulation by June 12th was not an indication of crop loss as of that date, but in 1988 it did show the trend of things to come.
Figure 2. Stress Degree Days (SDD) at Washington, Iowa, for May 1st through June 12th for the years of 1988 (severe drought year), 2004 (record high crop yield year), and 2012 (current year). The graphic indicates that the SDD buildup in 2012 began about the same relative date as in 1988, but temperatures in 2012 were to date less severe than in 1988. The total SDD at this location in 1988 reached 650 by mid-August. Graph source: Elwynn Taylor from http://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/

Size and capacity of farm equipment keeps getting larger and fertilizer equipment is no exception. Each year in Iowa approximately a billion pounds of nitrogen is applied as anhydrous ammonia. As equipment has gotten larger, many dealers are now using multi-tank systems with two anhydrous ammonia tanks mounted on to a single wagon running gear.
With anhydrous ammonia under pressure, safety is always a concern when plumbing and working around application equipment. "Plumbing for a multi-tank system presents unique challenges," according to Mark Hanna, Iowa State University Extension Ag Engineer. "Valve location and selection are important decisions impacting safe use. As an example, valves meant to provide excess-flow protection should not be oversized."
A new set of voluntary guidelines for plumbing multi-tank anhydrous ammonia systems has been recently developed by a coalition of state government, academia and industry representatives. "As the use of multi-tank systems increases, tank owners should benefit by having these voluntary guidelines. These suggestions from government, academia and industry experts should help applicators review their practices," said Max Smith, Smith Fertilizer and Grain, Knoxville, Iowa.
"Safety is an important component in maintaining the anhydrous ammonia application industry for Iowa corn production," according to Kevin Klommhaus, Feed and Fertilizer Bureau Chief at IDALS.
The guidelines including sketches of suggested plumbing configurations and can be viewed under the news section at www.agribiz.org. The guidelines are voluntary, but dealers and applicators with multiple-tank systems are encouraged to consider the recommendations as equipment is readied for the fall application season.

As reported in an earlier article, corn rootworm egg hatch in 2012 was slightly ahead of a normal year. Adults were first detected in Illinois last week and around Iowa this week. We've been getting many questions about when or if it is appropriate to treat the adults. Three factors must be taken into account before a foliar insecticide application is warranted.
First, consider the growth stage of the plants. Adult corn rootworm will feed on leaves and cause some scarring; however, this will have little if any effect on yield. Adults can cause yield loss if they are present in the field when corn is silking, which is a critical time period to protect plants. Adults are strongly attracted to silks and will mass on plants to feed and mate (Photo 1). Adults that trim back silks to the husk during pollen shed will interfere with pollination.

Next, consider current growing conditions. Weather plays a huge role on how plants respond to silk feeding. Plants do not tolerate as much feeding during pollination in hot and dry weather. For example, under ideal moisture conditions, plants could tolerate 15 beetles per plant, but that number is reduced to just five per plant under drought stress (Photo 2).
Photo 2. Rolling corn leaves are an indication of moisture stress. If plants are droughty during silking, fewer beetles are needed to cause economic loss. Photo by Virgil Schmitt, ISU Extension and Outreach.
Finally, consider plant maturity. Late-planted fields or late-flowering hybrids compared to neighboring fields are generally attractive to adult corn rootworm. Green silks will still be developing in these fields when older fields have brown or drying silks. Adults may migrate and aggregate in these later-maturing fields.
It is always a smart idea to scout for insects in corn fields during pollination. But with adult corn rootworm becoming active before silking this year, we highly recommend keeping an eye on fields to protect yield. A foliar insecticide may be warranted if there are five or more beetles per plant, silks have been clipped to less than ½ inch of the ear tip, and pollination is not complete. Also take into consideration other insects that may be feeding on the silks at the same time (e.g., Japanese beetle).

Forecast daily high temperatures every day this week hover just below 100 degrees. Across Iowa corn ranges from the 10th leaf stage (V10) to tasseling and silking (VT and R1). As of July 1st, the USDA reports that 16 percent of Iowa's corn was silking; that's nearly 2 weeks ahead of normal. Unfortunately, dry surface and subsoil moisture conditions prevail (see June 26, 2012, Drought Monitor). In the USDA report linked above, 73 percent of Iowa's subsoil moisture was reported as either short or very short compared to 2 percent last year. Crop water use ranged between 0.2 and 0.4 inches per day in central Iowa the last few days (see Soil Moisture Conditions and Crop Water Use, ICM News, for more information on this). With the majority of Iowa's corn pollinating in the next week to 10 days, this combination of events does not lead to optimism among Iowa's corn agronomists.
The impact of stress on corn depends on the timing of two critical events: pollen shed and silking. In May, I discussed the multiple 2012 planting dates in a Crop Minute, as well as some of the pluses and minuses associated with them. The USDA forecast of above trend-line yields released after planting earlier this year reflected optimism often associated with early planting and higher yields. On average, we often say that earlier planting results in greater yields and later planting results in lower yields (see the April 27th ICM News). Of course, as with any average, these generalities are not always true. Sometimes later planting dates result in the best yields.
Due to the wide planting window experienced this year, expect a wide window for both pollen shed and silking. No doubt earlier silking in normal years is in part associated with earlier planting, and, in addition, early silking is loosely correlated with higher yields. However, many exceptions to this occur. For example, although we had relatively early silking dates from 2005 to 2007 and again in 2010, silking nearly a week later in 2009 resulted in the highest corn yield in Iowa's history. Our second best yield occurred in 2004, which silked about the same time as those of from 2005 to 2007, and 2010. Early silking this year, if associated with the anticipated stress, will not be associated with maximum yields.
Stress during the pollination and silking period often reduces yield potential. Water stress is the worst stress factor although high temperatures, defoliation – from hail, insects, etc. - and extremely high plant populations, among others, reduce yield during this critical time especially when coupled with drought stress. During flowering, plants use more water (0.35 to 0.40 inches per day) than at any other time. This is in part because silks have the highest water content among all parts of the corn plant.
One of the best indicators of how plants respond to stress during flowering is the Anthesis – Silk Interval, ASI. This measures the time in days between pollen shed and silk emergence. We also are concerned about 'nick,' referring to the overlap of these two critical developmental stages. The ASI for older hybrids in good condition might have been 2 to 3 days with a range up to a week or more. Corn breeders over the last 5 to 6 decades worked toward developing hybrids that shed pollen and silk at nearly the same time. They have succeeded. With some modern hybrids, silks actually emerge before pollen shed even begins.
These reductions in ASI over the decades helped stabilize modern corn yields in stressed environments. In situations where water is limited, silk emergence and elongation slows. Pollen shed remains constant or accelerates. In older hybrids, water stress often resulted in a loss of nick; thus when silks emerged, there was no pollen source. Barren plants or ears with fewer kernels per ear resulted. By condensing the window of time between tassel and silk emergence, we are more assured of having good pollination with modern hybrids. This is true even if the silks are delayed a couple days or more due to water stress.
Pollen shed occurs over a 5 to 8 day period and silks are viable and receptive to pollen up to 7 to 10 days. Smaller ASI values means a greater chance of successful seed set, increased kernel numbers and increased yield.
The wide planting window this year offers challenges as well as opportunities. Taking note of ASI in your fields will indicate how the crop is faring at flowering. Did pollen shed and silking coincide in near-perfect synchrony, or did stress delay silking and not pollen shed.
In the long-run, the impact of stress conditions during this time will determine yield. On the positive side:

PHOTOS: We Asked The Stars, Who Is Your Hero?
BY Nicholas Cimarusti
December 10 2013 7:30 AM ET
The Trevor Project honored Jane Lynch Sunday at TrevorLive, a star-studded gala at the Palladium Theatre in Los Angeles, with its prestigious Trevor Hero Award for her work promoting visibility and acceptance of LGBT youth.
Hosted by comedian Kathy Griffin, the evening featured performances by Adam Lambert, Amber Riley, Cheyenne Jackson, Megan Hilty, Sia, the cast of Glee, and more, who turned out to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Trevor Project and its lifesaving mission of providing suicide prevention services to LGBT young people. Adam White, a senior at Brigham Young University and a member of the organization's Youth Advisory Committee, and Toyota also received awards for their advocacy.
"I would love this moment to be falsely modest and say that I am no hero," Lynch said upon accepting the Trevor Hero Award. "I would love to be able to say what I do is not extraordinary. But I can't. I deserve this freakin' award."
In honor of Lynch's achievement as a Trevor Hero, The Advocate asked the stars at TrevorLive — including Griffin, Glee's Alex Newell, TrevorLive producer and director Adam Shankman, basketball star Jason Collins, Glee's Dot-Marie Jones, Bridegroom's Shane Bitney Crone, and Pretty Little Liars' Brant Daugherty — about their own heroes.

Buying goods - your rights
When you buy goods from a trader you enter into a contract which is controlled by many laws including the Sale of Goods Act 1979. The law gives you certain - sometimes referred to as statutory - rights under this contract.
In the guide
Your rights
Of satisfactory quality - this means that goods should meet a standard which a reasonable person would regard as being satisfactory, taking account of any description applied to them, the price (if relevant) and all other relevant circumstances. Satisfactory quality also includes the appearance and finish of the goods, their safety and durability and whether they are free from minor faults.
Public statements made by the trader, manufacturer or their representative that relate to specific characteristics of the goods, particularly in advertising or on labelling, must be accurate and are taken into account when deciding if goods are of satisfactory quality.
Fit for the purpose made known to the trader - Goods must be fit for their general purpose and any particular purpose that a consumer informs a trader about at the time of purchase . For example if you buy a sleeping bag it must work as a sleeping bag. If you make it clear before you buy it that you need it for -40 degree conditions and the trader states it will be suitable then it should be suitable.
As described - Goods should correspond with any description applied to them. Ā
When are you not entitled to anything?Ā
You have additional rights:
The regulations apply to most sales and service contracts but excludes some contracts, such as those for social and health services, certain financial services and food and drink delivered by regular roundspeople. A contract term relating to requirement to pay a fee is unenforceable against you to the extent of the excess charged. If you have paid an excessive fee, the excess must be repaid to you. If you believe a trader's fees are excessive report it to the Citizens Advice consumer service.
What are you entitled to?
If acceptance has taken place, the following remedies are available:
The repair or replacement must be carried out within a reasonable time and without causing you significant inconvenience.
RESCISSION (cancelling) OR REDUCTION IN PRICE
Proving the fault
If you are in dispute with the trader, you may need to obtain an expert opinion to establish what the problem is, how it was caused, what it will take to sort out the problem and who is to blame. Please see our 'Getting Evidence to Prove Your Claim' leaflet for more information
Who can you claim against for faulty goods?
How long have you got to make a claim?
you are entitled to cancel the contract and claim a full refund.
If you order multiple goods from the trader and some of them are not delivered on time or not at all, you have an alternative to ending the contract. You can cancel the order for any of the goods or reject goods that have been delivered. The trader must refund you for the part of the order you cancelled or for the goods you rejected. Where goods form part of a 'commercial unit', for example a set of cutlery, you cannot cancel part of the order for example the knives, you have to cancel the whole order. These regulations do not prevent you from seeking other remedies for late delivery if you so wish. You become responsible for the goods when you, or a person identified by you to take delivery, takes actual possession of them. Until that time, the trader is responsible for them even if they use a carrier. If you organise your own carrier, then the trader is only responsible for the goods until your carrier takes possession of them.
Returns policies
Consumer Protection
If you feel that any of the above could apply, you should complain to the Citizens Advice consumer service. Details can be passed to trading standards for investigation. If goods you have bought cause injury, you should seek immediate advice from a solicitor and report the matter to the Citizens Advice consumer service . Details can be passed to trading standards for investigation.
Misleading and Aggressive Selling Practices - rights to redress
Some problem areas when buying goods:
Some goods sold at auction can be excluded from the Sale of Goods Act 1979 (subject to a reasonableness test) in relation to satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and description. This is covered by the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.
The rights of consumers when buying new goods cannot be excluded in any auction. The rights of consumers when buying second-hand goods can (subject to a reasonableness test) be excluded or restricted. However, they can only be excluded or restricted where consumers have the opportunity of attending the auction in person.
Consumers will therefore have full rights when purchasing from an internet or other auction which they do not have the opportunity to attend in person.
How to resolve your complaint
If you intend to reject the goods, stop using them and inform the trader straight away.
Keep your proof of purchase, which ideally should be your receipt or email confirmation of order. If you did not keep your receipt or have deleted the emails then you could produce your bank/credit card statement as proof of purchase.
If the goods have caused injury or if you believe a criminal offence has been committed, report this to the Citizens Advice consumer service before complaining to the seller. In the case of personal injury you should seek legal advice from a solicitor.
Legally, you are only required to inform the trader that you are rejecting the goods but practically, depending on the type of goods you want to reject you could return them to the trader along with your proof of purchase. Explain the problem to a senior staff member and make it clear which remedy you are seeking - repair, replacement or refund. If necessary put your complaint in writing, keep a copy of your letter (obtain proof of postage) or email and give the trader a reasonable time in which to respond. Please see our Ā'Writing an effective letter of complaint' leaflet for further advice and template letters.
If you paid for the goods on finance arranged by the trader or if you paid Āfor goods using your credit card and they cost more than £100 but less than £30,000, you are protected by the Consumer Credit Act 1974. Section 75 of the Act makes the finance/card provider as responsible as the trader for a breach of contract or a misrepresentation. This could include supplying faulty goods, non-delivery of goods or making false claims about goods. You are entitled to take action against the trader, the finance/card provider or both. If you are unhappy with the finance/card provider's response then you can complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Please see our 'Your Rights When Buying on Credit' leaflet for more information.
If you entered into a distance contract or an off premises contract to buy goods, please see our 'Buying by internet, phone and mail order - 'distance' contracts explained' and 'Buying at home - 'off premises' contracts explained' leaflets for more information. Find out if the trader is a member of a trade association. Some trade associations provide a dispute resolution scheme as part of their service so if you have a complaint against one of their members, they can assist in resolving the problem. In some cases they will be able to provide experts to examine work/products if the nature of the problem is in dispute. Check out the 'Trade Associations and Regulatory Bodies' leaflet. Ā
If the trader does not accept any of the evidence you have presented in support of your claim and you remain in dispute, you may need to obtain an expert opinion. For more information, check out the 'Getting Evidence to Prove Your Claim' leaflet.
If the trader makes an alternative offer, you can either accept it or continue to negotiate. If you reach deadlock, carefully consider the offer (if any) on the table as you may find that taking action in court does not actually produce a better offer.
Consider all options open to you to resolve the dispute - court should be a last resort. You could use mediation through the courts as an alternative dispute resolution process but if you decide to sue, try to find out if the trader has the funds to pay you. Often, even if you obtain judgement, the trader does not pay and you will have to enforce the judgement. Most claims up to £10,000 can be settled using the small claims procedure in the county court and you can obtain further information from your local county court or online.
