Lloyd Irvin, who runs the first non Brazilian team to take a world team title in the Mundials, took a firm stand earlier this month against what he termed corruption within the ranks of IBJJF referees. The head of the most successful team in the history of the Mundials, Alliance founder and head Romero 'Jacare came to the defense of the IBJJF, also via Facebook. Lloyd then offered a point by point rebuttal. One of the most successful female competitors in grappling history Hillary Williams then offered a clarification, via the UG's Atama BJJ Forum. Then Lloyd Irvin protege and co-founder South Florida's Freestyle Fighting Academy Marcos Avellan offered a further defense of Lloyd Irvin. Alan 'Gumby' Marques one of the pioneers of BJJ in America weighed in with further thoughts. What are your thoughts Underground? Is there institutional bias in the IBJJF, or is it a matter of a few bad apples? |

Lloyd then offered a point by point rebuttal. As head of the #1 BJJ Team in the World I respect anything and everything you have to say but you're 100% incorrect about there not being corruption within the Referees. Maybe it hasn't affected you but it has affected me for well over a decade from events in Brazil over a decade ago all the way to events in the US now. This is way bigger than any one match or event now,I've already talked to people inside of the ibjjf and they know that there is a problem, they are working on it they said, banning certain refs, etc. but to say that it isn't happening is simply not true, but like I said I respect your opinion. As far as DJ vs Lucas the main ref gave it to Lucas and he was absolutely disgusted when he had to raise DJ's hand. The photo very clearly shows that. But I respect your opinion that you feel that Lucas won. Lucas is a beast, it was an honor for one of my young guys to even be on the mat with Lucas. As far as Hillary is concerned I'm not sure about what match you're talking about but clearly you said she made a mistake that cost you the match, she admitted it, cried you said and you and the Alliance Team are totally against her being a head ref. That is duly noted, I can understand 110% that your entire team not wanting a ref that has cost you a match as the head ref for anymore of your matches. This is exactly my point, I don't want that either. So lets not have Hillary be the head ref for any of your teams matches, and lets not have any of the refs that have made mistakes costing my guys matches the head refs for any of our matches. I will agree to that for sure! As a side note there is no way you could accuse Hillary of corruption, she is not a part of the inner circle, she is not in charge of assigning refs to work certain matches, she is not in charge of assigning the head ref and side refs, so you could never accuse her of corruption because she isn't in a situation to be corrupt. I am not causing controversy over a mistake, if all of these "mistakes were simply mistakes" we have a much bigger problem, the entire 'I made a mistake' excuse is tired, there are way to many so called mistakes, this isn't Anti American, and for you to tell me to teach my fighters to behave like gentleman... If you would do the exact same I would agree, this was the first time we've ever not gone to get our medal ever! What about you teaching your fighters not to taunt former teammates, make threats, etc. I watched you and the entire Alliance Team taunt Jordan when he lost to Sinistro at the Pans, I saw you personally taunt Alec verbally when he lost "creontes never win!", and the list goes on, when Keenan beat Sinistro you didn't see anyone on our team taunt Sinistro, I teach my guy/gals better than that, I don't do that, you should teach them to behave like gentleman and not taunt or threaten former students and accept the fact that students switching teams is part of any sport as you put it. One of my former top students Mike Fowler, lived in my house for years, I took care of him,love him like a son, gave everything that I had to give to him, took him from white to black belt, one day he calls me and tells me that he's switching to Atos! I don't curse him, I don't threaten him, I act like I always do as a gentleman and wished him the best. You do not see me nor my team taunting him at tournaments when he loses, you do not see "anyone" on my team, not one single person bashing mike fowler on the forums, why? Because i do teach my students to act like gentlemen. If my students taunted fowler, or taunted Sinstro for losing to Keenan in retaliation for what your team did to Jordan at the Pans, I would be pissed. That's not what we are about. I'm about trying to build the strongest American BJJ team ever! I'm not going to get that done by taunting anyone. When I was a purple belt I asked you once what do you do when you lose a top student, you told me "F them, I created them and I'll create more, Alliance is bigger than any one player." I took that to heart, I followed that model and it worked for me. So I'm big enough to say it right here that I apologize for not picking up the medal, it was not the way of a gentleman, can you do the same regarding your teams taunting? This is also my sincere opinion not love not hate. And no matter what, you know that I have the highest regard & respect for you and your team. Best regards. |

One of the most successful female competitors in grappling history Hillary Williams then offered a clarification, via the UG's Atama BJJ Forum. liquidrob Interesting to see Hillary in the middle of all this, how was she brought into it? What was the first part? Hillary That is a fantastic f------ question. Mr positive Is iot true that you broke down and cried for making a bad call on one of Jacares students? Hillary Nah, he exaggerated. I definitely felt terrible for my mistake and respected Jacare enough to acknowledge my error and apologize for it. Guess what I won't bother doing ever again? thebasher so do you think there is institutionalized corruption Hilary or people are simply being human and making mistakes ? it's a very big call from Lloyd |

Hillary I'll start this off with a preface. Contrary to popular internet belief, I have not always been a proponent of IBJJF. I started learning Portuguese because I was convinced every time the opposite coach spoke to the ref/his student, he was in fact conspiring against me with the referee. I held the attitude of, "Oh, it's a GB girl, I'd better finish or the ref is going to screw me over." I accused refs of biased robbery to their faces, when come to find out that it was a cut and dry rule being followed (I still get made fun of by my now-coworker for this one). I cursed IBJJF's name up and down the mats for Brazilian bias when I was chosen to be the first public upholding of the minimum time standards rule. Turns out, people in Jiu Jitsu are just bored and create situations to entertain themselves. The reason people are paying attention to Lloyd Irvin's rant is the same reason people pay attention to stories on the internet about the FDA banning cancer-curing agents so that they can keep making money; it may have no proof beyond speculation and anecdotal evidence but it sure is more interesting than saying scientists are working to identify and target the unique neoplastic characteristics of cancer and just haven't figured it out yet. People love drama. That's why two comments on a facebook photo is even on a message board right now, someone just thought Friday was too boring on its own. I can say with complete confidence that Alvaro Mansur has not participated in any institutional corruption since my time with the organization. He has never even discussed a single athlete prior to the match with me, with the exception of Gabi and he merely asked if I was comfortable reffing her. He has never spoken poorly of a team or preferentially of anyone in a suggestive manner. If his character has always been as it is now, I would be willing to bet the farm that he's never entered into referee corruption. He is incredibly concerned with athlete safety (to some, even to a fault), rule application homogeneity, and punctuality. Now, some of your little heads are exploding right now because you're probably thinking that I'm suggesting that no ref ever has made a preferential decision. No, that's not it at all. Where there are humans, corruption follows. There have been and still might be some refs that make decisions based on nationality, affiliation (team, not sexual), and friendship. I realize now my earlier perceptions were so misinformed and skewed that I don't know if bias actually was worse when I started or if I just told myself that in my ignorance. My coworkers have acknowledged that it definitely was worse in the past, but I don't know if that time frame includes the last six years. Regardless of the extent and timeline, favoritism behavior is a reflection on the individual integrity of the referee and not the fault of the organization. Now, heads exploding again--"If IBJJF employs them, the blame of corruption falls on them!" To some extent, yes, I agree with hypothetical forum member. However, nothing can be taken out of context. We must be aware of the issues of ref availability and the inability to play big brother. I'll start with the latter. Alvaro wanders the tournament watching referees, answering complaints and explaining rule misunderstanding. Each ref is not constantly observed for every single decision they make, and there is no realistic way that this can be accomplished. They added a second coordinator this year to help him keep an eye out and it definitely is helping. A referee that passed his test in Brazil (or just signed up here in the US, unfortunately we don't have the test or 6 hour courses yet) could very well be performing his duties fairly to the majority of athletes. However, in the time that bossman has moved on to check another ref's performance, a biased decision could be made. With exceptionally poor crowd knowledge of the rules, it's quite difficult to distinguish a legitimate rules complaint from a misunderstanding and furthermore difficult to identify malicious intent from a true mistake. So, despite the fact that we are strictly instructed to not ref our own team, an individual's bias could go undetected despite no negligence from the organization. IBJJF has made significant referee changes in recent years in response to warranted criticism, going from a very high proportion of Gracie Barra refs to a heterogenous group representing a multitude of teams. I still giggle when I hear the "Oh, if you're GB you're going to win" comments when we've got 2/24 refs that are GB and a head referee that is Soul Fighters. I giggle more realizing I've made the same damn comments. Okay, now back to the former. Being a ref sucks in this sport, and I blame Brazilian soccer culture for allowing the "abuse the ref" mentality bleed through the sport and spread globally. Everyone yells at you. All day long. They yell about shit they 100% know isn't legitimate just to try to make you question yourself and give them their students extra points. Coaches knowingly yell and beg for corrupted activity all day long. It's just silly. One use of Google Scholar will show you that there are multitude of studies showing that excessive stress negatively influences cognition, but instead of shutting up and letting you focus they'll berate you and then criticize an erroneous decision. You don't want to be a ref. They're not respected, they're not thanked, they're not even given the benefit of having integrity when they make mistakes. And as long as people don't want to be refs, we won't get more competition for ref spots. Competition allows us to select the good and eliminate the poor. Higher numbers allow for more 3-ref matches, which people constantly demand and then refuse to sign up to ref. Higher numbers mean more frequent breaks for refs allowing for a mental refresher. People always demand this and then never sign up. You wishing on a freaking star doesn't make better refs appear, reading the rules and signing up to work does. Lloyd Irvin sitting in the front of the IBJJF bus doesn't help a damn thing. We need athletes, coaches, and referees to all respect one another. Hostility from both sides (mostly reactive to hate on the ref's end of it, but nevertheless unnecessary and unhelpful) just creates a more stressful, separated environment that breeds rants like Lloyd's and now mine. We need people to respect refs, showing brown and black belts that jumping into the job actually doesn't make you public enemy number one. We need people to realize that the current state of rules allow for error and subjective interpretation that we may not agree on, and these are not nearly as corrupted or controversial as people would like to think. We need to realize that those who may intentionally show bias (I'd like to note that none of the refs in JT/Tanq match I throw into this sentence) are doing so due to individual lack of integrity and not something which was proposed or condoned by the organization. We need to work together to improve the sport, have teams encourage ref participation, get more women and non-Brazilians involved to throw off this image of Brazilian bias, and just learn to realize that sometimes things are just as boring as they appear. |

Alan 'Gumby' Marques one of the pioneers of BJJ in America weighed in with further thoughts. 1. There has been referee corruption in the past. 2. There has been organizational favoritism in the past in several forms, including the making of brackets creating favorable match ups for certain competitors and exceptions from certain rules that would have applied to everyone else. *I can say this with confidence because I have had favors go my way in the past, although at the time I didn't realize I was getting special treatment. I will also say that these and other incidents I've personally observed have been more than five years past. I am less observant and "on the inside" of the IBJJF than I have been in the past, but I do think things are getting better in this regard. 3. Rather than corruption, I usually blame the circumstances or plain bad refs for bad calls, rather than they are out to get me or my team. I've had friends and teammates give call against my school I thought were bad, complained, realized it's part of the game here. *There are some refs I groan when I see however, and some I'm pleased with. Has nothing to do with their nationality either. 4. Alvaro Mansur opens his referee clinics with the statement that Brazilian Jiu Jitsu is the only sport in the world where the competitors don't know the rules. No fault to him, but paying for the clinic they hold before most tournaments won't help you a whole lot in that regard. *At least the seminar I attended. Every competitor certainly has the right to know the rules, but I would have hoped at a bare minimum every participant would have bothered to read the rules provided on the IBJJF website. 5. The MAJOR problem with the ruleset itself, or at least my understanding of it, is the grey area created because so many of the points, advantages, etc, are governed by INTENTION. This forces the referee to make an INTERPRETATION, which is therefore SUBJECTIVE. *Again things seem to be getting better in this regard. I realize refereeing is a tough job (I refereed hundreds of matches myself in non IBJJF events). But it is a flawed system. And I've written articles on other aspects where the tournament system is flawed. 6. The IBJJF is a for profit entity. Not that there is necessarily anything wrong with that, but realize what class of organization that put it in. 7. There is no upward mobility or election process for the governing body of the IBJJF. Carlos Gracie Jr. will hold power as long as he sees fit, and as the owner of the IBJJF he will appoint officers as he sees fit. *The two above facts alone will explain why Brazilian Jiu Jitsu will never be an Olympic Sport, or if it ever does become one, it will not be under the IBJJF. (There are MANY more reasons.) 8. If you want to affect change within the IBJJF, it will be done with your wallet, not your petitions or internet postings. *And yet the IBJJF continues to grow every year, hold more events, and their marquee events continue to break record numbers. So they rightly believe they are doing something correct. No other organization has come close to achieving the level of dominance within Brazilian Jiu Jitsu that the IBJJF has. So the refereeing and corruption is actually what scares me the least about the IBJJF. There are potentially much larger problems on the horizon. What are your thoughts Underground? Is there institutional bias in the IBJJF, or is it a matter of a few bad apples? Or is a FRAT? |

I've been hearing this talk go around since I got into the sport...Maybe it's time to really organize since it's obviously becoming mainstream...Our best bet to get into the Olympics is unified and clean events where the refs and judges are held to consistent and high standards :-/ |

Both sides have valid points. How can you argue brazilian favortism? but to say it's full on corruption is just wrong. Some blame needs to be on the ever-evolving rule changes. Boredom is a huge factor in bjj events. You see judges not paying full attention all the time. And to think there is no favortism in pro sports. The strikezone gets a little bigger when one team is winning, and the ump is trying to speed up the game. Or if a team in basketball starts talking too much at the refs, calls will surely go against them. It happens, not so subtely, in all of sports. |

It's Carlos' ball and you have to play by his rules or go home. You'll never get the IBJJF to change , it's a private business not a national sport org. I suggest start your own tournament/org if you don't like the way IBJJF is run. I'm no fan of IBJJF but Lloyd is wasting time if he thinks they make changes unless it helps their wallets. |

I have been on the receiving end of being "screwed" by a ref for these very reasons, so I understand where he is coming from. It sucks, because you work hard and don't lose due to anything you did or didn't do correctly, but because of the relationship between your opponent and the ref. |

Lloyd is a marketer that sells marketing. This is publicity for him and his team. Good or bad it's still putting the TLI brand name on headlines with BJJ and IBJJF. Is he partially correct? Probably. Will anything change? Probably not. Will it cause more hits on his Facebook page and his name to come out of more people's mouths? Yup. Nothing against him or his team, they are great competitors and I admire them very much. DJ, JT, and Keenan are all world class. He's just hustling old school marketing techniques to people who don't know what marketing is all about so they perceive it as cutting edge and "game changing". |

See all 20 tracks on this disc
I would have preferred the tracks be presented in chronological order, but at least the 1960s-vintage tracks are on disc one, 1970s-present on disc two. If I counted correctly, FORTY LICKS manages to include 16 of 21 tracks on the HOT ROCKS collection, 15 of 23 out of the two THROUGH THE PAST DARKLY sets, and 12 of 18 from the JUMP BACK 1971-1993 anthology...and still squeezes in 7 recent-to-new cuts. While such key cuts as AS TEARS GO BY, MIDNIGHT RAMBLER, WAITING ON A FRIEND, HOT STUFF, 2000 LIGHT YEARS FROM HOME, LADY JANE, and TIME IS ON MY SIDE are missed, there just isn't enough room. In other words, it's impressive that most of the key tracks from past anthologies are now collected in one place.
40 Licks was released worldwide on October 1, 2002. Obviously, there are 40 tracks including 4 new ones (the single Don't Stop, Stealing My Heart, Keys To Your Love, and Keith's Losing My Touch). This one is the 22nd compilation album the Stones have released. It is the 19th compilation in the UK and the 9th in the US. There are lots of opinions about what should and should have been included/left off (there are *25* single releases that were not included). Remember, if anyone ever releases the entire Stones catalog as a box set it will have to be packaged in a trunk that comes with a dolly to get it out of the store. Since everybody knows the songs anyway, how about if I list what is on it from when for you?
These songs are the most popular from the Rolling Stones Records releases. Here are the original US and UK release dates of each song (US release and re-release dates were often different during this period):
3-6-64 Not Fade Away
7-24-64 It's All Over Now
3-12-65 The Last Time
6-4-65 (I Can't Get No) Satisfaction
9-24-65 Get Off Of My Cloud
2-11-66 19th Nervous Breakdown
5-6-66 Paint It, Black
7-1-66 Mother's Little Helper
7-1-66 Under My Thumb (not a single, from album Aftermath)
9-23-66 Have You Seen Your Mother, Baby, Standing In The Shadow?
If I were to do it again, I'd go for the standard issue.
Any an album that can boast 'Street Fighting Man', 'Gimme Shelter' and 'Satisfaction' as its opening three tracks is certainly onto a winner. Even though Mick Jagger's familiar pouting, snarling voice hurtles out from another place and another time, part of tracks that are now an integral part of our culture, it still sends shivers down the spine. Same goes for the opening chords, from 'Street Fighting Man's insistent, ringing acoustic opening to 'Gimme Shelter's menacing, serpent-like notes and, of course, the all-too familiar calling card of 'Satisfaction'.
The first album is as bulletproof a selection as you could want. From the breakneck cover of Buddy Holly's 'Not Fade Away', through the classic string of self-penned singles ('The Last Time', 'Satisfaction', 'Get Off Of My Cloud', '19th Nervous Breakdown', 'Paint It, Black') to the meltdown of 'Have You Seen Your Mother Baby?', this is the mid-60s documented in all its incense-scented, scandal-ridden, narcissistic glory.
That's the signal for the trip to get darker, though the provocative 'Let's Spend The Night Together' and the wistful beauty of 'Ruby Tuesday' proved that the band could still churn out incredible four-minute pop songs.

Saint Gregory of Nyssa
Younger brother of Saint Basil the Great. Friend of Saint Gregory of Nanzienzen. Educated in Athens, Greece. Influenced by the works of Origen and Plato. Married to Theosebeia, who may have been a deaconess. Professor of rhetoric.
Disillusioned with his life as a teacher, he became a priest and hermit; his mother and sister already lived the monastic life. Bishop of Nyssa, Lower Armenia, in 372. Archbishop of Sebaste. Fought against Arianism, but not as successfully as he hoped.
Easy-going, tactless, inefficient in monetary matters, Gregory was cheated and deceived to the point that Demosthenes, governor of Pontus, accused him of stealing Church property and had him imprisoned. He escaped, but was deposed by a synod of bishops in 376. He wandered in exile for two years, then was restored to his see.
Attended the Council of Antioch. Fought the Meletian heresy. Participated in the second ecumenical Council at Constantinople as a theologian. Fought Arianism and reaffirmed the decrees of the Council of Nicaea. The council called him, "Father of the Fathers" because he was widely venerated as the great pillar of orthodoxy and the great opponent of Arianism. Father of the Church.
There is some debate about Gregory's relationship with his wife following his episcopal consecration. Some say he continued to live with her, but Saint Jerome says that the eastern churches did not permit this.

Long forgotten by the people of Creation, the inventor of Exaltation still lives and slumbers behind ancient seals.

The world ended in 2012. Cities fell, billions of people died, and the survivors had to learn to live by His rules - rules that forbade ideology, religion, politics, and other such divisions between people.

Please note - Pictures shows 8' x 8' Dalby Log Cabin with optional window box.
Product Description:
Uniquely Shire control all aspects of the manufacturing process and are therefore able to guarantee the quality of the finished log cabin.
Manufactured in the UK using the finest Siberian timber, imported directly and machined through the most up to date machines ensures the best quality and best value for money log cabins in the UK.
The popular Dalby log cabin is superbly built from thick interlocking logs of the highest quality. A Shire log cabin will last you a lifetime and if you want to move you can simply dismantle and rebuild. The fully glazed double door and window provides plenty of natural light as well as complementing the design of the building. All windows and doors are all handcrafted joinery and are fitted with the Shire draught seal system ensuring that you are kept snug during those winter months.
The Dalby log cabin is extremely versatile for whatever use you have in mind and the generous headroom gives one the feeling of spaciousness. You can be assured that the Dalby Log cabin will provide a luxurious garden building that not only looks great but makes you feel great too. Once inside you cannot fail to notice the quality of the timber walls that instantly give you a comforting feeling and the thick roof beams provide a fantastic feature within the log cabin.
A Shire log Cabin is built to last. A log cabin gains its strength and stability from its corners and the 4 way corner joints used by Shire in their log cabins ensure their log cabins are sturdy and will withstand all weather conditions so you can relax in a Shire Log Cabin whatever the weather.
When choosing a location for your Log Cabin allowance should be made for roof overhangs. It is absolutely essential that the base for the building is level. The Log Cabin is supplied with green roofing felt, and all fixtures necessary to complete assembly. Floor joists are supplied properly pressure treated through the Shire in house facilities. Timber sizes stated are the actual size of the timber after planing and machining.
Individual Log Cabins Designed To Suit Your Needs!
As well as our extensive range of standard log cabins, you can have a bespoke log cabin manufactured to your own specifications. To obtain a quote simply call our Sales Team on Freephone 800 019 3865 or email in to: firstname.lastname@example.com
Optional Extras:
The Dalby comes with a range of optional extras meaning you can customise your log cabin to fit your needs.
Log Sizes - The Shire Dalby Log Cabin is supplied with sturdy 34mm logs as standard. There is also the option to upgrade your log cabin to 44 and 70mm logs. 34mm comes in single tongue and groove and 44mm and 70mm logs come in double tongue and groove. The tongue and groove of each log is the part that keeps the weather out and keeps you nice and snug inside. Our 34mm log cabins are superb at the job of keeping drafts out. Upgrading to a thicker log will increase the insulation of your log cabin even more. The standard 34mm logs come with extra thick 44 x 135mm roof joists and 44 x 58mm joinery. Floor and Roof boards supplied are also 20mm this it thicker than the 14mm found on other log cabins. The 34mm log cabin is already extremely sturdy and weather proof, upgrading will improve those qualitities even more.
Felt Tiles - Adds a touch more luxury to your log cabin and is available in black, green or red.
Upgrade Glazing - 4mm Toughened Glass or 14mm Double Glazing are both safer glazing options for younger children and give you even more sound proofing and insulation qualities to your log cabin.
Optional Window Box - Made from 28mm logs, allows plants and flowers to be planted under the windows adding that extra special touch to your log cabin.
Standard Specifications:
The Table below shows the specification for the Dalby Log Cabin in 34, 44 and 70mm Logs. All imperial measurements are approximate and the log cabins are built to metric measurements. The base sizes are taken to the extreme external length of the log including the corner joints that protrude. The base measurements do not include any roof overhangs.
The Footprint shown below relates to the 2390mmG x 2390mm (8' x 8)' Dalby Log Cabin. To convert external dimensions to internal dimensions please use the following conversions: 34mm minus 260mm, 44mm minus 280mm, 70mm minus 330mm.
The Door is located on the Front Gable End (G) and is the first measurement. The length/depth from the front of the log cabin to the back is the second measurement therefore for a 2990G x 2390mm (10G x 8) model the door/front is the 10ft measurement ie the first measurement.
Door/Window Specification:
Handcrafted Joinery Windows and Doors are supplied. Windows are top hinged and all external Windows and Doors feature the Shire Draught Seal System.
Shire ensure that as many details are put in to their log cabins as standard.
Please consult actual building specifications for specific detail.
If you are within 1.0m of a boundary you may face planning regulations for ridge heights above 2.5m.
Why are some of your log cabins over 2.5 metres if this can incur planning regulations?
1. Due to the large size of some of our cabins reducing the ridge height would reduce the quality of the build of the log cabin. We ensure all our log cabins are sturdy enough to last a lifetime!2. Log cabins are not only sturdy buildings, but beautiful buildings, we ensure that the look of our buildings is not impaired by reducing ridge heights.
I am interested in a log cabin with a ridge height higher than 2.5m what should I do next?
1. The best thing to do first is to check with your local council, this can be done in a matter of minutes and you may find that you are not affected by any planning regulations.2. If you are affected by them do not worry. Many of our log cabins have the option for a planning friendly ridge height. Also if we believe that reducing the ridge height will reduce the structural integrity of our log cabin, we will not put it as an option. So you can be sure the log cabin you're getting is of a very high quality.3. Planning permission can be granted with relative ease for Log Cabins higher than 2.5m. Reducing the ridge height can cause the beauty of the building to be diminished and along with the implications with the structure, most of our customers believe that waiting a few weeks for planning permission is worth the wait.

Please Note - Your log cabin will be supplied flat packed for self assembly with comprehensive instructions. Shire Log Cabins are delivered on a flat bed lorry and you will need to unload it by hand. The driver will assist with this. Shire Log Cabins are made from kiln dried timber that must be laid flat and covered by tarpaulins or similar if stored outside prior to construction. This is to prevent moisture/rain/sun from distorting the timber.
Shire log cabins are built to order. If you cancel your order at any time after production has commenced you will be liable for the cost of work in progress to date of cancellation. If you cancel an order after it has been despatched and you will be liable for the cost of the building and the cost of return unless in the unlikely event the building is faulty. Although planning permission is not usually required we highly recommend that you contact your local authority if you have any doubt as to whether planning permission will be needed.
If you miss the delivery of your order your will incur a re-delivery charge as we have met our original delivery obligation with our first attempted delivery. If this is the case we will of course notify you, prior to the re-delivery, of any charges that apply. For further information and clarification regarding deliveries, please contact our sales team prior to placing your order on 0800 019 3865
Log Cabin Frequently Asked Questions:
What size log cabin do I need?We would always recommend that your decision making is based on the biggest log cabin you can afford. It will of course need to fit in the space you have allocated without any restrictions. You will find that just like a house, you will always find use for the space. Of course size and space will come down to what you will potentially use the Log Cabin for ie Office, Games Room, Hobby Room, Spill-Over Guest Room or for Dining. We also have Log Cabins with multi rooms. We offer a service where you can dictate your own size, location of doors/windows and the optional features you want.
What should I consider when choosing a location for my log cabin? Unlike some Log Cabins with Shire Log Cabins you actually build the cabin from the inside but you will need enough room to be able to treat the external walls. We would therefore recommend that your log cabin should ideally have a clear space of at least 18" wide on all sides, if possible. We know that this can sometimes be an issue and therefore a reduced clearance is often possible on one or two sides. When considering your space around your log cabin (particularly where there are space constraints) remember to allow for any roof overhang. You should also clear the area of any nearby shrubs and trees and remember to allow for future growth. If possible a sheltered position is better.
Do Shire Import their Log Cabins?No! Shire Log Cabins are not imported they are machined logged here in the UK. There are many advantages to this notwithstanding the logs will fit together first time which is not always the case for imported log cabins. First of all in the unlikely event of needing parts these are readily available and you would not have to wait weeks for replacement parts as you would if the log cabin was imported. Secondly as they are built in the UK any technical advice you may need is also readily available.
Do I need Planning Permission for a Log Cabin?Buildings 2.5m and below generally do not require planning permission as a Log Cabin is classed as a temporary building but we would recommend that you check with your local authority as to the regulations for your area. Log Cabins over 2.5m and within 2 metres of a bourdary will require planning permission.
What is the best way to prepare a base for my Log Cabin?All log cabins require a well prepared, solid, flat, level base to ensure a long lasting and stable installation. Paving slabs (built on hardcore) or concrete make ideal bases for Log Cabins. A solid concrete base is more permanent but is more expensive but it does provide an excellent base for a larger log cabin. Paving slabs are more practical and cost effective and we would recommend this type of base for a smaller log cabin. The base can be level with the ground but should have a fall of 1 in 50 to ensure water run-off.
What tools do I need to build my Log Cabin?
Good quality DIY hand tools, such as:- Drills - Hammer- Screwdrivers- Level- Stepladder- Tape measure- Saw- Ball of String (to check the diagonals)
Please Note: The only cutting which is required on a Shire Log Cabin is the final roof, floorboards, eaves edgings, skirting boards, felt and where applicable the verandah posts.
Does the Log Cabin need to be treated?
Log Cabins are supplied untreated. We explain in the section below the reasons for this. However as it is untreated it will enable you to decorate and finish it to your own individual style and taste. Please Note: the bearers are pre-treated with pressure treatment therefore any wood that comes into contact with the ground is powerfully treated to prevent against decay and insect infestation.
It is advised that you treat your log cabin when it has been constructed and treat the external walls periodically after that in order to maintain and prolong the life and beauty of your log cabin. We would also recommend the maintenance of doors and window hinges that you regularly oil these to ensure a continued smooth operation.
Why don't you pre-treat Log Cabins?Log cabin timber is kiln dried- a process that reduces moisture content. This drying ensures that all wood is reasonably sized and capable of locking together tightly and securely. If timber was to be pre-treated for customers, the rigidly sized pieces of wood would have to be coated with preservative at this stage of production. Each piece would absorb varying amounts of treatment and drying times would be inconsistent. This process would expand to different sizes and this movement would prevent the interlocking log walls from fitting together tightly and securely, if at all.
Why don't all you log sizes come with double tongue and groove?Using double tongue and groove on log sizes smaller than 44mm would cause the tongues to be very thin and liable to breaking off. This could jeopardise the bond making it very weak. We ensure that our 28 and 34mm single tongue and groove logs and our 44 and 70mm double tongue and groove logs keep you nice and snug in your log cabin without jeopardising the sturdiness of the building.
Do you offer an Installation Service?Yes. We offer an installation service throughout the majority of the UK mainland. Please call our Sales Team on our Freephone Number 0800 019 3865 for a quote.
How is the delivery of my log cabin arranged?The delivery company will contact you a few days prior to delivery to arrange a convenient delivery date with you. Access is required for a large lorry. This is a kerbside delivery.
How easy are Shire Log Cabins to assemble?You will not need to be a DIY professional to put up a Shire log cabin. Comprehensive, accurate and extremely easy to follow assembly instructions are supplied. They show exactly where every component fits and the majority of individual components are coded to match the instructions. However, if you feel that you need a little advice or just have a couple of questions to ask, you can call us on: 0870 950 9940 or via e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com and our experienced team will be happy to help.
Can I insulate my log cabin?The floor and roof of our log cabins can be easily insulated. There are many insulated sheets on the market suitable for insulating your cabin. We recommend using batons on the wall with a slot at one end to allow for expansion and contraction of the wood. We also offer 11mm thick double glazing.
Can I have electricity in my log cabin?Although providing an electricity supply to a log cabin is normally a straightforward task, for safety reasons we recommend that you consult an approved electrician first. Since January 1st 2005 all electrical work must be completed in accordance with IEE wiring regulations and BS 7671. Notifiable work must be either notified directly to the local building control department or completed by an operator who is approved under the Part P Electrical Competent Person Scheme.

Auto-advanceThis transcript is automatically generated
That's trouble throwing in DC tonight -- -- president Obama's pick to be the next Defense Secretary now as Republican senators temporarily blocked a vote on chuck angles nomination that was earlier today.
Delaying the vote until late February.
How Republicans say it is premature to close the debate over the nominee and say the before any confirmation vote will take place.
They want -- answers from hagel and the White House about what exactly President Obama was doing the night.
Of the Ben Ghazi terror attack that killed a US ambassador and three other Americans the first time a filibuster of a cabinet nominees been used.
And needless to say this marks a major win for the GOP and a pretty embarrassing defeat for the president.
And joining me now with reaction from the American Center for Law and Justice.
You know I don't always agree -- Leon Panetta one but I respect Leon Panetta and he said about the sequestration cuts.
That it's -- hollow our military and devastate our national security.
Chuck Hagel says well the budget exploded forty -- Then when you look at US missile defense he was against it unilaterally wants to disarm America of nukes.
Sanctions against Iran has controversial comments on Israel and angle Juan.
He'd be any any game probably the worst.
The hearings that I've ever seen in my life one in my lifetime.
Why why shouldn't they be scrutinizing this is an important time and then in terms of world history and in terms of defense.
While you must've missed the news here at a news is that Republicans said that in a week they basically will vote to and the closer and the -- filibuster.
And -- Chuck Hagel so nobody in this town thinks that there's any chance that Chuck Hagel -- is either gonna resign or to.
Going to be denied -- office of secretary of defense that doesn't mean we're really anything you know I'll get on political game.
I'm sorry -- -- goes on in that town necessarily probably means the rest of the country would disagree -- -- let me show both Libya that how bad these hearings war.
We have highlights of -- -- during these hearings he looked terrible it was embarrassing process.
Name one person in your opinion he's intimidated by the Israeli lobby in the United States and.
Well first.
Maintain -- and I don't know when you said.
That the search would be the most dangerous foreign policy blunder in this country since Vietnam we are correct or incorrect my -- or no.
My reference to the speaker Nancy might change under hagel.
The question is -- we were right or wrong.
That's a pretty straightforward question well I thought I would like to answer -- -- right or wrong and then you are free to elaborate.
Well I am not going to -- give you -- a yes or no.
Why do you think that the Iranian Foreign Ministry so strongly supports your nomination to be -- secretary did today.
I have a difficult enough time in -- politics.
And the senator I have no idea.
Do you think it's appropriate.
For the chief civilian leader of the US military forces.
To agree with the statement.
That both of perception.
Quote end -- the reality.
Is that the United States he is quote.
The -- worlds bully.
I didn't hear her say that by the way the United States and I think my comment was it's -- relevant.
And good observation I don't think I said -- I agree with.
They secular your reaction.
Well look -- -- -- to the Supreme Court of the United States and had a performance like Chuck Hagel had before the Seneca committee.
It would be a disaster so Chuck Hagel response was a disaster and of course the most famous.
Line -- that he has is the one where he said look there's a lot of things I don't know about various aspects of the secretary defensive role in various.
Our Department of Defense protocols but I'll learn on the job you know.
-- one of the things that I disagree with one on this -- I mean will the filibuster be broken a week I don't know they're gonna break it or not but I'll tell you this much.
In Washington DC and once -- and -- anybody in Washington DC.
A week is a lifetime.
And when these speeches let's get to the merits of what Chuck Hagel really believes when you get to the merits of it how can anyone in good conscience release except.
His view that we should have a consulate in Tehran which is what he basically has been -- basically he did that dictate.
And his position on the joy he called by the way the Jewish lobby which is really disparaging.
-- try to -- -- say the Israeli lobby as if that was some.
Kind of a technique you would you -- Lindsey Graham.
Really dealt with that but the reality is Sean you don't get away with those kind of statements -- he -- as secretary -- I want.

My new favorite
I'm an adult who wears a children's Junior-3 in Crocs and I'm on my feet all day working in a pharmacy. This shoe is SO comfortable! Wore them to work today and they felt like I was walking on air. Being a Croc enthusiast, I have probably 20 pairs but this Duet Sport Clog is definitely my new favorite. The sizing is true and they are absolutely perfect. My previous favorite were the Rx Relief but they are no longer offered in Junior children sizes (sigh) and I was really bummed out about that. These clogs are actually more comfortable and I plan on getting many more of the same.

Poor Quality - Falling Apart After Only 1 Month!
I purchased these Croc's in red for my 5 year old son a little over a month ago and they've already completely fallen apart-- the sole has completely separated from the top part of the shoe on one and on the other the top has split open. I am very disappointed with the quality and lack of durability, especially because my son was so excited to receive them. I was also excited because of the cool style. I've purchased knock-off Crocs before and they've always lasted the entire summer for my son. This is the first time I broke down and spent the money on brand name Crocs and I was expecting them to last him for at least the summer. Here it is only mid-May and now I'm having to buy him another pair of new sandals. Buyer beware!

My kid LOVES these - I wish they were a better fit
I took my 4 yo to the store to buy crocs and he picked out this shoe in the red. He LOVES them. I mean, he gets out of bed and puts his crocs on - and this from the kid who does not like to wear shoes. He's worn crocs all his life - but these are special. However, he wears a size 12 - so I had to get the 12/13 and they are huge. They actually will fall off his feet while walking across the street. The size down was too little so I guess I'll have to deal with them till he grows into them. I wish crocs would make these in a size 12 like so many other of their shoes.

Little guy LOVE!
My 4 year old loved them the minute I got them out of the package! They fit nicely and Crocs are generally his GO-TO summer shoe so now he's set! LOL Only complaint is the Batman light-up jibbitz broke the first day he wore them. The outer "Bat man" covering broke off so now he wears his shoes with a little light flashing when he walks :)

By MARY ELLEN
from BURLINGTON
About 20 yrs ago in Florida, I picked up 2 boulder opal rings and a pair of boulder opal earrings. I constantly got compliments and questions about these pieces. I have been looking for boulder opal ever since, with no luck. I picked this piece up for myself. The first thing I did was take it off the rubber cord and put it on a heavy silver chain. The bail is big enough to take a large chain as long as the lobster claw or ring is not too big. The bail has a lovely design to it that becomes feminine with a silver or gold chain but remains masculine with the rubber cord. The boulder opal I got has a shimmer of blue & white in it. You always have to remember that with this type of stone the colour varies wildly so you could get a great stone and you could get one that you don't like. I would recommend this for either a male or a female of any age. It is amazing how just changing the rubber cord to a metal chain changes the entire look.

Roland VP-330 Vocoder Plus
One of the coolest instruments out there. The vocoder shapes its envelope and filters by any sound source fed into it, your voice or even a drum loop can be used which is then applied to another sound source, typically a synth pad. This creates a very unique and famous robot-like sound.
Aside from the 10-band vocoder, the VP-330 added a string synth section, choir and a human-voice sound, both of which are quite excellent themselves. Its 3 sound sections offer a few different presets that can be slightly edited with de-tuning and vibrato. The VP-330 is one of the best Vocoder synths ever and although there are many other types of Vocoders, none sound as good as this!
The Roland SVC-350 (pictured just above) is a similar rackmount version of the VP-330 with a modernized look and graphic EQ section. These vocoders have been used by William Ørbit, BT, Styx, Kitaro, Underworld, Meat Beat Manifesto, Überzone, Air, Royksopp, Pink Floyd, Vangelis, Tangerine Dream, and many more.

While he was still with them, he said:
Don't leave Jerusalem yet. Wait here for the Father to give you the Holy Spirit, just as I told you he has promised to do. . . . But the Holy Spirit will come upon you and give you power.
After Jesus said these things, as they were watching, he was lifted up and a cloud took him out of their sight. Acts 1: 6-8a, 9 (CEV)
Something new is coming,
something incredible,
beyond imagination
and manipulation.
Well maybe.
That is to say, we hope it is.
He said it would.
We watched him rise up
out on the hill,
wind blustering all around,
and the jagged saw of goodbye
chewing us apart.
Don't go. Don't go. We love you so!
And the love
filling us up
and tipping us
with its force.
And us, breathless and blown,
rolling and tumbling down
the mountain
flung and spinning
out from the Center of that splendor.
His Words,
on our souls like a bright tattoo.
And the angels saying, Get up. Get going!
He said to wait.
There would be more, something else,
spirit he called it,
who will help us remember it all,
help us catch our breath,
and give us legs for such a world, as we have glimpsed.
Oh, why not Him? Why this spirit thing,
when we had a love
we could hold in our arms and look in the eye?
The Father, reaching down into humanity,
snatches back the offspring
of his selfless, effervescent generosity.
Dear God,
catching up very God of very God, begotten not made,
by the scruff
of his collar
and drawing him back into your joyful dance,
what are you thinking,
cutting in like this, sweeping off with our partner?
Life is eternal – that is good news.
But what to do with the life and the love,
left here as we are, knocking about in the flesh?
Please do not ask of us such vulnerability,
this being clueless, with nothing to hang onto,
suspended between cloud and fire,
from only a dim memory and a bright promise.
Few things leave us more vulnerable
than Love and the Holy Spirit.

That's ridiculous. Everyone knows a cat can't use a computer. | |||||||||||||
It's not a computer, it's a toy. Notice the flimsy red plastic latch, the handle across the back (unextended), and lack of ports (power, USB, etc.).

Published: 11/16/2012 8:05 PM | Last update: 11/19/2012 10:39 AM 'Mercy rule' likely won't factor in for 8-man titlePotent Ness City, Mankato-Rock Hills ready to square off.NEWTON - Ness City has played 34 quarters in its 12 games this season.They've ended games early - via the 45-point mercy rule - three times (9) more than they've played a full contest (3) this season.
But coach Chris Bamberger doesn't expect his team to have an early exit today, when Ness City (12-0) takes on Mankato-Rock Hills (11-1) in the Kansas Eight-man Division I state championship game at 3 p.m. on Newton-Fischer Field. "We just hope we can put a good four-quarter game on the field," Bamberger said. That's the long and short of it. For a team that has been dominant in its undefeated run to the state title game, Bamberger and his team are preparing for what's been a rarity to them this season after finishing five games by halftime and another four after three quarters. Only three teams - Victoria, Hoxie and Minneola - have taken the Eagles to the fourth quarter but none of those games were close. Ness City has won by at least 32 points in all of its games and has emerged victorious by an average margin of 44.8 points. And they've only improved as the season has worn on, despite the minimal playing time. The Eagles' signature wins came against the Bulldogs and Gorillas in their last two games, a pair of perennial eight-man contenders they shutout with ease in a total of four quarters. "That's huge just to be playing your best football this time of year," Bamberger said. "If you can do that, it allows you to have the opportunity to play in Newton." But the flipside of that token is concern for a letdown. Against Rock Hills, which has been potent in its own right, the Eagles will have their hands full with a physical team that is used to playing a full four quarters. "You always worry a little bit to make sure the boys continue to push themselves and are able to come out in the second half and take care of business," Bamberger said. The Grizzlies enter the title game after passing a huge test against Madison/Hamilton, the defending Eight-man D-I champions. They grinded out a 36-20 win, putting the Bulldogs away with a 14-point fourth quarter. On the season, Rock Hills has played more football. They've ended just two games early - putting Linn away after three quarters on Sept. 14 and then finishing Central Christian off by halftime on Oct. 5. Grizzlies' coach Sam Meyers said his squad is well aware of the need to get off to a fast start against Ness City and have their minds right from the get-go. "You get to this time of the year and we've ended a lot of games by halftime, too," Meyers said. "We need to go out and play one play at a time. ... A lot of times you get on an emotional roller coaster and when teams get a lot of points on them, they get behind that tidal wave." Both teams have been on the positive side of that equation virtually all year, sporting a pair of high-scoring rushing attacks. Ness City primarily turns to speedy running backs Garrett Flax (126 carries, 1,075 yards, 16 touchdowns) and Dalton Gantz (120 carries, 1,001 yards, 21 TDs) to pick up the bulk of its yardage. Bamberger said his offensive line - center Joey Rufenacht, guards Blake McVicker and Tucker VonLehe and ends Matthew Frank and Trevor Hawkins - sets the offense's tempo. "We run as well as our offensive line is doing up front," Bamberger said. "The backs have been able to find some holes and make some guys miss and do really well." Rock Hills' offense hinges on its power option plays out of offset I-formations with some play-action passes sprinkled in. Running backs Clay Cosand and Joel Broeckelman have churned out a combined 2,721 rushing yards and 62 touchdowns for an offense that has lit up scoreboards with an average 53.2 points per game. Both teams' defenses have been stellar, though the Grizzlies have given up more points (an average of 16.2 per game to Ness City's 5.2). They yielded a season-high in a 76-48 win over Marmaton Valley on Nov. 3 and surrendered 42 to Clifton-Clyde in their lone loss of the season on Sept. 21, which was a "wake-up call," according to Meyers. "We didn't realize the level we needed to play at and the potential we had," Meyers said. Both teams enter one step away from putting the best possible exclamation point on their respective seasons. Whether it takes two, three or four quarters remains to be seen. But one thing is certain. It'll be a sprint to the finish.
"If we try to ease into it, we're not going to be OK," Meyers said.
