Inches of progress, miles of loss.
Tito Perdue was born in 1938 in Chile, South America where his father, an Alabama native, was employed as an electrical engineer with the Braden Copper Company. Returning to the United States in 1941, his family settled in Anniston, Alabama, remaining there until his father's employer relocated to St. Louis in 1955. In 1956 Tito graduated from Indian Springs School, a private academy located south of Birmingham, and was admitted to Antioch College in Ohio, an institution from which he was expelled in 1957 for having cohabited off-campus with the former Judy Clark, also an Antioch student. They were married later that year, both at age 18, and are together still.
Tito attended the University of Texas in 1957-59 and 1960-61, receiving the B.A. at the end of that period. His daughter Melanie was born in January, 1959, in Austin Texas. During 1959-60, he worked as an assistant bookkeeper in the financial district of New York City. He returned to New York after graduation from the University of Texas and was employed for one year as an insurance underwriter, an experience affectionately described in his novel The New Austerities. He attended Indiana University 1965-68, receiving the MLS degree and the MA in Modern European History.
Tito was employed by The University of Iowa Libraries in 1968-70, and then began work as Social Sciences Bibliographer at Iowa State University, a position held for ten years ending in 1980. He became Assistant Director of the State University of New York at Binghamton Library in early 1980 and left in 1982 to become Associate Director of the Emory University Library. He was discharged from that position in early 1983 as a result of policy disagreements and opted to devote himself full-time thereafter to novel writing.
In 1991 his first published novel Lee was issued by Four Walls Eight Windows, a small press in New York City. The book received favorable reviews in The New York Times and elsewhere, being declared "spellbinding" by The New England Review of Books and "a stunning debut" by The Los Angeles Reader. Among negative reviews, Publishers' Weekly exposed the book as the work of a reactionary snob and showed that "it sinks under the weight of its own pretensions."
In 1994 his novel The New Austerities was published to very good reviews as also his somewhat experimental Opportunities in Alabama Agriculture, a story based upon the history of his forebears on his mother's side. Extremely favorable and extended reviews were provided by Thomas Fleming, editor of Chronicles; A Magazine Of American Culture, and by columnist Jim Knipfel of The New York Press.
The Sweet-Scented Manuscript, a more-than-semi-autobiographical novel was published in 2004 by Baskerville Publishers, and in 2007 a paperback edition of Lee was issued by The Overlook Press. Tito's most recent novel, Fields of Asphodel also appeared in 2007 from the same publisher.
Tito determined to become a writer as a result of having read the novels of Thomas Wolfe when he was an adolescent. Since that time he has been writing, or preparing to write (or resuscitating), for a period of about forty years.
Depending upon the weather and the day of the week, Tito admires Orwell, Faulkner, Dostoevky, Hardy and the nearly-forgotten Ladislas Reymont. Among current American authors he prefers Larry Brown, William Gay, and Wendell Berry. His (Tito's) taste in music runs to Wagner and Mahler.

It's a lot Steve earlier this month has seen a hot and she walked into a Wisconsin courthouse begging for help she feared that are violent ex husband might kill her if she tried to move -- Are strange times and fortunately she was right shot and killed Xena and two other women last Sunday this line outside -- As many women asking if the -- can't protect them.
Who can't.
She'll carries an anchor for headline news and the board of directors for men stopping violence -- thanks for having me so we hear these stories at a time and time again in fact one reporter in Wisconsin actually went to look at how many restraining orders -- on record.
He was so surprised to see that it was the same messaging over and over I fear for my life -- fear for my life here from -- Why do you care.
Because if one woman is in danger all women and girls are in danger and that's why.
Also because this is a perfect example -- to -- violence is not a Stanley problem it is a community problem the second this story happened.
I was -- in my gut this was a domestic violence situation.
This is everybody's problem -- is not just the person's problem.
Down the street and you know something is happening in their home when you're not doing anything to help -- it's everybody's problem so you say that women going get restraining -- almost as sort of a situation to to honor their of their fears -- sort of a public message to others hey I need not only is it -- because unfortunately and I think you you probably know -- and -- you've done this kind of work.
Often women -- believed right so they almost have to do this to say I'm telling you.
How this person is treating me it is not okay and it's a public declaration of almost asking for help.
Because if they didn't get the restraining order -- among would say.
Why did you get -- restraining order right and so much of the blame falls on the woman when I did a lot of work on this -- a decade ago the question I was as what what does the woman just -- we'll see in this example in Wisconsin what happens.
When she did exactly.
A year on this board of directors of men stopping violence and one of the things they that you wanna -- and get out as a message.
Other men to help yes we want to shift the focus right it's very important to have shelters to help women when they -- -- -- right which are gonna continue.
To have that cycle of a winning beating -- shelters if you don't take a step back to prevent the violence in the first place right.
So we feel like a -- work with me.
And and and -- specifically -- abusers and that's not to say that all men -- abusers by any stretch of the imagination.
-- but if you if you focus in on getting men to call out other men feel like that makes a difference one of our trainers.
I'm with men stopping violence he teaches a class at the jail and often the last man.
Why do you do this why he repeatedly done this and -- question -- answer so many times -- is because I can't because no one ever call me out on this and made it clear.
I cannot do -- and we feel like if -- call out their friends.
This cycle would stop October is domestic violence awareness month as well.
One in three women in the US have experienced some type of violent.

I don't work in InDesign often. I had created a template file for a book back in December of 2011 (originally created in CS3). I opened this file in CS6 today and did a Save As. Now it's time to edit a few things to customize it for this new book. So, I went into the Master Pages to tweak some things. But, I can't edit any text. I can click on some photos (not all), but no text is selectable or editable. What in the world has happened to my file?
I also went back to the final files for the book I did in December (not the template file, the actual working files). Those give me the same behavior. Text that should have been editable is not even selectable. Again, some photos can be selected and moved, etc. but no text/text boxes.
Is there some conversion that takes place opening a CS3 file in CS6 that is causing this to happen? How do I fix it?
Matt Tyree
Open the layers panel and check to see if the text frames are locked. Locking behavior changed since CS3 and by default locked frames are no longer selectable, which reduces functionality on some older templates. If the frames are locked you can either unlock them or go to the preferences and change the setting to allow selection of locked frames.
Okay, so it turns out there's this new (to me) item under the Object menu to "Unlock All on Spread." If I select that, everything on the Master Page is then editable. So, I guess I have it working....somewhat.
From what I can recall when I created these templates in CS3, I could "lock" items that I didn't want to move, etc. but I could still select it and unlock it. This functionality seems to be gone. So, if I lock something, I have to go back and click "Unlock All on Spread." That unlocks EVERYTHING even if I only want one item unlocked. Is there something I'm missing that'll give me back some of that old functionality?
Some things I want to be locked both ont he master and reg page. Other things I want to be able to override on the page, so I select that option for each object. But I guess I'd see all objects on the Mater Page as at least selectable whether locked or not.
Confused! :-D
You can still unlock objects individually using either the layers panel (that's been updated, too), or by clicking the lock icon on the object itself (near the upper left corner).
That said, you will be happier if you cahng eyour preferences to allow selection of locked objects. This essentially restores the beahvior you are used to seeing -- position is locked but you can still select and put content into a frame.
Mmm, kinda. If you are working in View -> Screen Mode -> Normal and have View -> Extras -> Show Frame Edges on, then a little lock icon appears on each locked frame. Click on it once, and it unlocks. If you don't work with all of that stuff turned on, then I know of no way to unlock a single item on a page.
I see lock icons on some things and not others. I think it's because two of my text boxes are only a single line in height and there's no room for the lock icon to show up. So, some objects I can't unlock at all without unlocking EVERYTHING. Definitely a different and more inconvenient behavior than I'm used to. But, I guess I'll get used to it.
Okay, so I found the preference that lets me still select locked objects. Unfortunately there's still no "unlock" when I right-click. So, without the lock icon showing, there's no way to unlock some objects without unlocking everything else.
Joel Cherney wrote:
I knew that our posts would collide, Peter, and that I'd learn a new way to unlock a single item without having all of the invisible stuff turned on.
I'm actually partial to using the layers panel (it was a long-time request of mine to have it work like Illustrator) but was a bit shocked when the other behavior changed and had to lobby pretty hard to get that preference option added.
Mattaton wrote:
I have NOTHING on layers.
Well, of course you do. It's just that you don't have things on MULTIPLE layers, but there's no requirement other than your own sense of organization to use more than one layer.
Now, though, that you can actually see all the objects and work them on the layers panel you might want to spend more time there. It's a HUGE improvement over CS3.

This is a fantastic aid outing up the middle of the right side of the Diamond. This a real aid route on the highest alpine big wall in the Lower 48. Do not treat it lightly. The crux is getting all the gear to Broadway. Hauling a haul bag up the North Chimney is NOT recommended because of all the dangerous loose rock. With wall gear, it's probably safer to approach via the Chasm View rappels. After the initial pitches, the climbing is thin and steep, but never too scary accept when the ubiquitous thundershowers roll in. Keep in mind the sun leaves the face around noon, so be prepared for heavy weather. On our ascent in early August we experienced lightning, hail, snow, rain, cold temperatures and even a little sunshine. We climbed the route clean accept for P6 where my partner used a couple KBs and LAs. The route has been done all clean since then and it is probably easier to climb it clean on a few RPs than to drag a hammer and pins up and down the Diamond. The clean crux would involve making something stick in the Knifeblade slots, so bring some trickery. Standard clean aid rack: hooks, cam hooks, 3 sets RPs and Offsets, 1 set Ball Nuts, 3 sets nuts, a few hexes or tricams, 2-3 sets TCUs, 2 sets Friends, 1 big cam (#4 Camalot or #5 Friend). Poop tube - please pack your nasties out! Once on broadway begin right of the North Chimney on the right side of a large pillar known as the Green Pillar or Dunn-Westbay pillar. Note: Gear and Clothing follows the cracks to the left of the route and King of Swords follows shallow corners to the right of the route. P1. Leave Broadway and climb up rampy terrain to a large right facing dihedral on the right side of the pillar. 5.8, 145 feet. P2. Free climb a nice hand crack in a slimy, cold corner to a good stance or throw in an aid move to get warmed up for the dangling and thrashing to come. This would be a fun pitch if it were dry and in Boulder Canyon, but it's not. 5.9+. P3 More free climbing or gear yarding in the corner. The crack becomes wide at the top. Arrive at the top of Green Pillar. Belay at a fixed anchor with a hangerless bolt. Possible bivy. 5.10, P2 and P3 are about 165 feet of climbing. Also, with a 60m rope it might be possible to just combine P1, 2 and 3 and make the top of the pillar in 2 long leads. P4. Short pitch. Head off the right side of the bivy ledge on aid. Make a hook move somewhere around here and don't fall. Then follow a flake (cams) back to the left and head into an awkward slot (big cam) and belay at some fixed slings although it is probably better to continue and climb. P5. The remainder of the pitches and belays can be combined in different ways. There are some fixed anchors from retreats, but nothing compelling enough to dictate the location of the belays. It's sling belays to the top either way. Do what feels good and makes sense. C3-, 95 feet. P5. From here the route finding is easy, take the crack to the top. Isn't the Diamond cool? Head up the crack to a sling belay at some fixed gear. C2-, 145 feet. ?? P6. This is the crux unless P4 was the crux. Nonetheless, this is a brilliant pitch. Get out the RPs and head up the thin splitter crack. Belay at a stance well below Table Ledge crack. C3 or C2+ (new wave) or A3 or whatever. "It's all A1 until you fall." 145 feet. P7. Make some moves off the belay on small nuts and continue to the roof. Belay at the roof (fixed gear) or climb some of P8. Table ledge crack forms the roof. There is no Table Ledge here! C2 100 feet?? P8. Head out a few feet to the right from the belay and with big exposure climb through the roof. After passing a detached flake, belay. C2, 155 feet. P9. Keep aiding towards the top and belay at the edge of the Diamond on a ledge. C1, 150 feet. Stay roped up. P10. Another pitch is required to reach a good unroping point. Note: Pitch lengths are approximate! Descend the North Face via 3rd class hiking and rappelling the anchors from the old Cables route. Exercise extreme caution especially if caring lots of heavy aid gear. A slip anywhere along here will land one on "the other side".
Standard clean aid rack: hooks, cam hooks, 3 sets RPs and Offsets, 1 set Ball Nuts, 3 sets nuts, a few hexes or tricams, 2-3 sets TCUs, 2 sets Friends, 1 big cam (#4 Camalot or #5 Friend). Poop tube - please pack your nasties out!
How is the bivy atop P3? Is it better to carry a portaledge?
I did this a few (4?) years ago. Indeed, it went clean even for an unimaginative aid climber as myself. We bivied on the top of the Green Pillar -- I think there was enough room to bivy comfortably. I can't say for sure because we set up the ledge+fly anyway due to the intermittent hosing from snowmelt above. We also added two 3/8" SS bolts (total) at the fixed belays: one at a belay 1-2 pitches below Table Ledge (table roof) and another at the belay at Table Ledge. (Some have criticized these two bolts; some have thanked.)
If you need a ledge or not just depends on how you want to do the route. Top of green pillar is a good bivi for one and ok for two but you are only 3 pitches off the ground and just at the beginning of the aid climbing. If you want to split the route over two days more even, you need a ledge. Those added bolts for belays weren't nessary. The belays where a little tricky but that's just part of the climb.
Did this route recently, full trip report available through link below. Should provide more than enough beta. www.bigwalls.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=129
Amazing line. Some beta for the faint of heart. After schlepping our "too scared to aid clean" insurance policy through the Boulderfield to the Chasm View raps and beyond, my partner led the aid crux (and all of the harder aid for that matter, as I was the alleged free climbing gun), totally clean with camhooks at what he felt to be straightforward C2+. I believe we had 1 small and 2 medium camhooks. We never found a need for ballnuts either. Triple set of HB offsets was mighty plush and I think one would be just fine with 2 sets total. Lots of nutting overall though. We took a #5 Camalot up there for some supposed wideness and never really found a necessary use for it. P2 and 3 go as one with a 60m. Last pitch was wet and we were glad to share a pair of crampons for the descent. Word is this thing went free at around .13 something last summer, but don't quote me.
Adam's mistaken, the route was not free climbed in 2009. The first free ascent took place on Saturday, July 23, 2011. The crux is a long pitch off the top of the Green Pillar, which I feel is .13b-ish. But there are also four more 5.12 pitches above, the last two being especially wet and tricky. The best free route I've done on the Diamond (although I can't speak to the quality of the Honeymoon). Big thanks to Pete Takeda, and Andy Donson for their vision to see this climb as a free route, and for placing the critical bolts for the free variation on the crux pitch. I will try to post details, and a topo of the route in the coming weeks. Cheers!
J Wharton, thanks for the confirmation on this. I just added a photo of the FFA from last Saturday. I have a few others I'll try to get posted in the next few days. Can't wait to hear all the details. Left Jimmie a message today. Wow, incredible line! Thanks again for the confirmation, and congrats to the FFA party. -Jim
Was TC working the upper pitches Aug. '12 [white rope tossed from above]? I was on it, looking to rope-solo the route, when rope damage (hauling) didn't let me get past the first pitch. -frown- Scared the s**t out of me hearing something coming down from above with a loud CRACK! That was a lot of rope tossed over ending at the top of the pillar. Just curious.

overall usually very good service and a vast selection of quality products at a very competitive price and also low delivery charges some slight problems with out of stock goods delivery is usually within 24hrs but more important is the quality of their products even down to their budget beer kits which overall are pretty good a range of kits from scottish export to irish stout i must admit the stout kits are fantastic so i can put up wth the odd delay and must mention their silver can promotion GREAT!!!!! so i recommend anyone out there give this company a try you wont be dissapointed iv delt with them for a number of years and overall really good and nearly forgot their loyalty points which are not long in adding up happy home brewing
I had purchased from these guys before and they delivered fine.
Placed an order in Feb, received delaying e-mails until March, then nothing for a month.
Website dead (not good for an onlne retailer!!!), and phone disconnected. They've disappeared.
Contact your credit card company ASAP is my suggestion.
Have ordered from this company before but recently their delivery has become erratic to say the least. Ordered in January still waiting. Unable to contact them and their website is unavailable. Think they have done a runner with my money and everybody elses. DO NOT USE THEM!!!!! if you too have been ripped off contact Trading Standards, Credit Card Co. and police. They are nothing but crooks.
I ordered goods on February 9th 2012 to be told they were out of stock. They have taken my money and I still have not received my goods. I can no longer contact them through the links on their email - the pages are not available and there is no email address to reply to or phone number given on their confirmation email. They are part of the online-shopping company and there seem to be many very bad reviews suggesting lots of other people have had similar bad experiences.
First order they made a mistake by sending me a brew bucket with tap hole and no hole. Lots of e-mails and they send a tap.
Second order the stuff is all in stock take my money and it then goes on backorder. 6 weeks later the 2/3rds of order arrives.
Tell me to change my order as some material no longer available. 6 months down the line still not arrived and the website is gone.
Visa will have to chase them as I have had it.
Why can't I give -5 stars?
It seems that I was lucky in that I managed to get a chargeback for my 2 months delayed order before this bunch of cowboys had the plug pulled.
They have resurfaced before (I expect their suppliers were particularly chuffed about that) so keep an eye out and don't let them make a mug of you twice!!
Good riddance online-home-brew-company
Ordered goods 24/12/2011. After 6 weeks it was obvious they would not be able to fullfil the order and I was promised a refund. I was not surprised when refund not received and emails ignored. Hope they are all now unemployed - robbing bastards. I bet this company pops up again in a new guise. Call Trading Standards with all details on - 08454040506. Ken.
To cut a long story short I raised a dispute with my bank (lloyds) after a bit of form filling and posting the bank credited my account and took up the dispute themselve on their own behalf. The bit banks put in about the value of the goods must be above £100 is not exactly true. If you paid by credit card the value is usually irrelevant (mine was IRO £60). Paying by debit card is another matter and you may have several hoops to jump through. Wish you all success in getting your hard earned back.

I think they've gone.....
The website is unavailable and all the signs are there as the previous reviews seem to suggest!
I ordered goods in January. After 6 weeks I had received nothing except loads of promotional e-mails. To be honest I had written the order/money off which was quite sizeable....
Eventually by mid March I had received all of my order except one item. It came in dribs and drabs. I'd get one e-mail saying it had been despatched then another saying that some of the order was unavailable and was out of stock and it would not be sent until those items were in stock..... Wait another 2 weeks or so but nothing. This went on for ages and we are now at the end of March - nearly 3 months later!
On the plus side I have checked my bank statement and have been credited for the missing item, although I received no notification of this... So for those of you still waiting you might like to do the same as it appears someone is trying to make amends for what has been for me the worst online experience ever....

So they have gone bust??
I have a pending order - money taken from my account and I have no goods and no refund :(
Any ideas what to do?

Hooray! I found an old order number from last summer, and can finally add something to the discussion!
In my opinion, the online homebrew company deserves complimenting on only two things:
1) Their ability to swiftly censor/delete ANY kind of bad feedback (mine included) that was left on internet forums, facebook etc about the shoddiness of their operation. They even did a pretty good job of whitewashing Trustpilot for a while! Let's face it; in the age of mass communication, that's a pretty impressive achievement. It's only after the company has ceased trading that I've been able to discover that there were legions of other customers getting exactly the same dismal service that I got.
2) The fact that they did the decent thing and got refunds out to people before the bailiffs arrived. Fair play on that one.
Apart from that, pretty much everything written in the one-star reviews echoes true with me too. This company used to be great - I even recommended them to friends - but something clearly went BADLY wrong over the course of the last 6 months.
In the event that they somehow manage to rise from the dead: AVOID!
P.S. a poster on moneysavingexpert (not sure if we're allowed to link to other forums here, but it's not hard to find if you want to check the story) posted a message a couple of days ago claiming that he attempted to visit the company's office in Rugby, but the site is now closed. Neighbours say bailiffs went in last week and removed all stock and assets.

Ordered 2 Feb, items available became out of stock, they changed my order as requested but then these replacement items were out of stock for even longer. It seems I am one of the lucky one's - they refunded my order without being told to do this and yesterday I discovered the web page cannot be found. I assume they,ve been shut down or done a runner. Good of someone in the company to have given me a refund though

PLEASE think before you order from this company.
Absolutely none existent customer service. E mails ignored, NO telephone number for contact. My £15 worth of loyalty points just 'deleted'
PLEASE look elsewhere for home brew needs

Items showing as being in stock are not actually in stock. I ordered three items, all showing as being in stock at the time of the order. I waited 2 months for one of the items to be delivered, a month after that I was refunded for the other two items .. Had three months of emails stringing me along saying items were in transit , in warehouse, then back to in transit .. etc...etc.. Absolutley rubbish customer service. I would advise anyone to use [link] instead , ordered on Friday, delivered the following Tuesday. Now that's customer service.
Lost £50 to these horrible bums.
I paid with a gift voucher. waited 3 weeks for delivery. They just refunded my postage without any explanation other than 'order refunded'. Of course the gift voucher code no longer works so is actually my mum that lost the £50.
Note to you people posting good reviews.
If your paid to do this I will track you down and kill your dog.

If i were you I would google this company before you buy! I wish I did. Ordered £150 of items after a month finally got refund! There is no number to contact them and every email you send gets a generic reply with no offer of help. Items were in stock should have been delivered in two days but I had too chase them for a month! Terrible
I ordered from these guys and after 3 days my order stated that it was being packed... contacted the company and they said it was as suggested in the warehouse being packed... 3 days later, my box was still being packed so I asked for a refund.... they refused!!!
Took me 3 weeks to get a partial order and a partial refund even though all the goods ordered said they were in stock
If I could give them no stars I would.
Cancelled my order, yet failed to let me know.
Promise free beer kits that never appear.
Say they have stuff in stock when in actual fact you have to wait 7 weeks for it.
There are some good players in this market which do a really good job so no need to spend you money with these guys.

Placed order and paid for it . after a lengthy delay , it was marked as refunded . Money eventually turned up . Website is a means of taking money only . They dont read E mails and only send a stock computer genereated reply I.E check account for details . Dont want to interact with customers and service is PATHETIC . Cant find how to close my account with them ( surprise surprise !! ) .Online help will only answer the questions they want to answer and doesnt allow you ask the question you want to ask .

They have run some very good deals over the past couple of months and I have placed a few orders, one order ( #1008085) did take ages to arrive ordered on 24/12/2011 and was dispatched on 20/02/2012. But I was in no rush so wasn't that bothered by this.
But two of my recent orders where part dispatched, then yesterday the remanding parts of my orders ( #1136245 & #1117195) are showing as "Your order has been refunded", I did not ask for a refund and I was not notified this was happening.
Another problem I have had which isn't their fault is the delivery company they use, they claim to attempt delivery when they haven't and every time you phone them they assure you it will be delivered on the day, week of phone calls later and it finally arrives. And my recent order has arrived damaged with split beer cans.
no items !!! kept sending messages to say some of items out of stock and then dispatached then out of stock and would be delayed !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NOT ON so asked for refund = no refund ! now bank involved and trading standards ...

1. Their website shows goods in stock that are not.
2. They take payment for goods immediately even if out of stock. I paid for one item on 2nd February advertised as in stock. It's the 14th March now and it STILL hasn't arrived. NO company should charge for goods before dispatch!

words really fail me when i try to describe the shopping experience i have had with the online homebrew company.first of all i should state that my order number is #1102465 so that damon cant turn around and state that this is a false review.my first and last order was placed on the 12th of febuary and yes you have guessed it even though the money has been removed from my account i still have no homebrew ,and my latest date of dispatch is the 16th of march,although if that does'nt change several times between now and the end of the week i will be amazed.what really amazes me about this company is that they look like a bonifide company on the face of it and yet they are nothing but a shower of crooks.i have enjoyed using there forum for about 18 months so it was only logical to assume that because they run a good forum that there homebrew sales company would also be a good experience,WRONG!!my only regret was that i didnt check martin lewis money saving experts site as this companies reputation is well documented with hundreds of similar bad experiences. after reading of people asking for refunds and still not having them weeks later i have decided to skip the middle man and ask my bank to cancel said order.the one good thing about this whole experience is that i will be much more wary of who i deal with online from now on and the quicker this particular company is closed down as surely it will be ,the better.

This has got to be the worst company in existence all items in stock until they take your money then the fun starts items out of stock then packing then out of stock again then in transit from warehouse
They never answer there so called customer service enquires and never reply to recorded posts they signed for them but never get back in touch with you
if you have got an existing order with these and you have not received it get in touch with south end on sea trading standards and consumer direct and you bank and do a charge back otherwise you will never see your order or your money again
you have been warned do not use these

Dont order from these crooks,its the same story time after time,items are in stock when you order,then they are out of stock,then they arrive and are in transit from the main warehouse and after they manage to reach the end of their epic journey from this mythical warehouse which must be somewhere on cloud 9 just behind the flying pigs,but its not over yet,once they are all in stock as with my order 1108215,you then reach the "your order in in the warehouse being packed for dispatch" stage,the same stage that my order has been at since the 23rd of February,and when you get sick of waiting for it to be dispatched and you ask for a refund,you will be told you cant have one because the order is already packed and will be with you in the next 48 hours,but of course 48 hours later its still in the warehouse ready for dispatch.I can only say take your money elsewhere otherwise you wont be seeing anything for it anytime soon.

They are by far the worst online company I've used to date. I wish I had read these reviews before I had ordered. All these one star reviews reflect my experience.
I placed an order for two wine kits that were "in stock and dispatched within 24 hours". Just under a month later, and I've got nothing! I've contacted them 4 times, responses where rude and did not answer anything. When I asked for a refund (3 weeks after order), I was refused, on the grounds of. The order was now in their warehouse. This company clearly has no stock, & order in when they have enough funds.
Please don't be fooled by their cheap prices, pay the extra few pence and actually receive something.

DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD! TOHC is out of business, website is closed down and assets have been seized. Luckily in my latest bank statement i was overjoyed to see my £41 back in my account. Hurray!
Contrary to what the previous reviewer stated, this company can't even handle small orders. I ordered TWO beer kits from this site in early January. The items were clearly stated as IN STOCK when I ordered them, however for the next month I watched as the kits went in and out of stock, it always said 'in transit from main warehouse'. Why they couldn't have just sent me one kit while they waited for the other to come back in stock is beyond me.
Their online customer help service is a joke, I sent a message almost every day for two weeks and didn't even hear one reply. My message was deleted from my outbox after about 24 hours. This company does not provide a contact email address nor a phone number, which is a clear sign of a dodgy site, i feel like a fool for not noticing.
Eventually in February i cancelled my order and only then did i get a reply to a message, in which they said i'll have a refund in 8 days (they took my money immediately after i placed my order, yet they state on their site that refunds can take up to 28 days? cash flow problems, LOL!). However as of now (mid march) i have not seen a refund in my account.
I have ordered before with these people and i got my goods, but my second order never arrived. It seems they lure you in with great prices, lull you into a false sense of security, then on your second/third order they take your money and run off. Avoid at all cost. Lest this be a lesson to me, i will now be even more careful when choosing a good shopping site. If the online shopping company does not refund me, i will do all i can to get my money back, even if it costs me. I don't want these people getting away with STEALING my money!
PS I have been waiting to post this review for a month, but they wanted me to provide an order ID which i had, but it wasn't accepted. Finally now i can voice my disgust. If you want to post a review, keep trying!.

I can only echo what many others have said. My order (1039885 just in case they want to argue) was made in early January. I then spent a month watching bits of my order going in and out of stock. Cancelled the order in early Feb and am still waiting for a refund in mid March. I had previously sent two emails which remained unanswered before going at them through the amazon shop contacts (yes they sell through there too). That got a rapid response albeit to tell me that I should communicate through their dire customer service (HA!) interface. I was told it was being dealt with but I will wait and see on that one. In the meantime they will soon have received my letter indicating that they have 28 days to sort this before I am left with the small claims court as a last ditch attempt.
I see a lot of happy people responding in this forum and I can only suppose that it is all in the complexity. Small orders can get handled. Large ones (mine was over £200) confuse them.
I won't comment on the quality of the product as I haven't a clue since none arrived and I certainly will not order from any of their outlets in the future. This is all about sense and customer service which is woefully lacking.
Engage with these people at your own risk and keep the orders small!

My husband has been like a child with a new toy since receiving the Woodfordes Whery Micro Brewery starter kit for his birthday last week from me. It's all in there so there has been nothing else to buy and you can get going straight away. The instructions are clear and straightforward. Last night he transferred the beer to the keg and in a week or so will be tasting the output! Even I admit that it smells lovely. The forum has been very useful too for picking up additional advice and guidance.
Thank you for introducing me to an old friend from my uni days, homebrewed lager. I had forgotten just how nice you are! We should have stayed in touch.
It's been about 10 years since I last brewed my own beer. My wife got me all the kit for Christmas and Ive just enjoyed my first bottle of coopers.

Staightforward, no hassle, plentyof communication. Good stuff.
Ordered good from this company on 22nd December, total order value in excess of £200.
They were clear that there might be a delay in delivery as the offer they were making was likely to be popular. I also factored in a delay thanks to Christmas. However, they have now gone well past the point of acceptability. Eight and a half weeks and STILL being told another week to wait (I've been told this so many times I simply don't believe it any more).
The odd thing is that I'd still be content if they appeared to have any intention of providing me twith my goods. There are four items in my order, all of which, at some point since I ordered, have been in stock.
It would seem clear to me that if there is an outstanding order against something in stock, Online Homebrew would keep it to one side and wait for the rest to come in, then despatch. However, all I can assume is happening is that as items come into stock then they are shipped against new orders coming in. This leaves me in an awful position where I have to hope that on some day within the near future all the items I have ordered come into stock at the same moment and that they can fulfil the order. I feel like I'm waiting for a lottery win.
Trying to contact them over the matter is not worth the time - you just get a form response. Posts on the forum asking for any kind of statement are deleted within a few hours.
To cap it all, I get an email every single day offering me yet more discounted gear. Do they think I'm stupid?
12th March: Latest News: They part shipped some of the gear a mere 63 days after I placed my order. They promised me a refund of the remainder within ten days on 22nd February. Allowing for the fact that that period ended on a Saturday, I should have had the money back on 5th March. It's not hit my credit card account yet.
As soon as it was late, I started contacting them asking if it was going to be credited on time. They are deleting my questions from my outbox on their pitiful contact system. This company takes customer disservice to a completely new level.

Ebner Headlines Ohio State CRC Roster |
Sevens - Collegiate Sevens |
When you think Ohio State and CRC, you think of Nate Ebner. He was one of the darlings of the inaugural broadcast, and numerous breakaway runs and crushing tackles proved him worthy of the accolades. Ebner plays for the Ohio State gridiron squad during the 15s season, but when late spring hits, he's all rugby. Paul Holmes, coach of 1823, a men's competitive 7s team that is a veritable college all-star squad, said after 1823's recent scrimmage with Ohio State, that he doesn't know what's gotten into Ebner, but he's a complete stud. Ebner brought with him this spring a couple gridiron mates. One of them is James Georgiades, a redshirt freshman fullback and special teamer. At 5-11, 220 pounds, Georgiades has a low center of gravity that won't make him fun to tackle. Such phrases as "scout team workhorse", "tough and strong in every drill" and "outstanding competitor" are used on the Buckeye football website to describe Georgiades. How quickly can he make the transition to rugby? Ohio State roster: The Collegiate Rugby Championship, June 4-5 at PPL Park in Philadelphia, will be aired live on NBC both days. Irish punk band The Dropkick Murphy's will be performing a free post-match concert at PPL Park June 4. For more info, visit usasevenscrc.com. |

Truly hidden is a little island off the West Coast of Ireland, lying just off the coast near Clifden/Cleggan Co. Galway.
This island is a must see for visitors to Connemara.

Donegal is definitely one of the most overlooked destinations because of its geographical separation from the rest of the country. West Donegal is gorgeous! However this may in fact be due to this separation. The night sky in Donegal on a clear night is one of the most stunning sights that I have seen due to the complete lack of light pollution.

"Beauty spots", you say? What is the point without photos at the very least? And the links in the article have nothing to do with the subject. For the record, my favourite is the incomparable "Gap of Dunloe" (Google it & you're there).

What a tour guide. Can't believe the number of times I've been to Ireland, but somehow missed Slive Bloom Way and the Cooley Mountains. Of course, our new Sinn Fein TD's will probably have help centres nearby. I'm pumped. For those going to South Armagh, please consider staying overnight in Crossmaglen. What a town and what craic.

I'd not argue with any of the places named, but I would add the area of Mayo near Killary Harbor and the Glens of Antrim.

I would agree about the lakes (loughs) of Co. Cavan, the smaller loughs especially. Some of my Irish ancestry is from this area. One area to visit you might want to add are the Wicklow Mountains.

The lawyer charged with selling off 38 Studios' game IPs wants to delay next week's planned auction due to "greater than expected interest."
Is anyone looking to buy an MMORPG? The game assets from 38 Studios will go up for auction in November.
38 Studios continues to make its way through the legal system as a lawsuit against former EDC officials and execs moves forward.
Curt Schilling discusses his life following the collapse of 38 Studios, coaching his daughter, and recovering from a mild heart attack in 2011.
