Incorrect Goods
If we sent you something you hadn't ordered please contact us within 14 days informing us of the problem. You can return it within 28 working days unused in its original packaging afor a full refund.
Damaged In Transit
If your purchase is damaged in transit, please contact us within 14 days informing us of the problem. You can return it within 28 days and either get a replacement or a refund. Please make sure you give us your order number and return the item in its original packaging.
Damaged or Defective Goods
If you receive a product that is defective, please contact us within 14 days informing us of the problem. You can return it within 28 days and either get a replacement or a refund. Please make sure you give us your order number and return the item in its original packaging. If the product is covered by a manufacturer's warranty, please contact the manufacturer directly.
If you receive a plant that is in poor condition when you take it out of the box, contact us immediately. We will then ask you to send us a photograph so that there is no doubt as to it's condition on arrival with you, as opposed to what it looks like by the time you return it to us. Bear in mind that plants look different depending on what time of year it is. If you choose a nice leafy-looking deciduous shrub in the winter, remember it's going to turn up looking pretty bare. It doesn't mean there's anything wrong with it, just that it's out of season and will perk up when the weather does. Perennial plants won't even show above the soil level in a pot during the winter, but that doesn't mean you've been sent a pot of soil. However, provided that you have contacted us within 14 days of receiving the defective plant we will be happy to arrange for a refund or replacement once we have received the pictures and determined the cause of the problem.
Five year Guarantee on Plants, shrubs, trees and perennials
All fully hardy plants (all hardy shrubs, trees and perennials) are guaranteed for a period of 5 years from purchase, and other plants for their first flowering season, provided all instructions are followed. If the plant fails in the first 5 years, send us a picture of the plant along with your order reference number to firstname.lastname@example.com. Once we have determined the cause of the problem we will endeavour to replace it or refund you. This guarantee does not include any plants damaged due to lack of watering proper horticultural care, so plants will not be replaced if the plant care guidelines, sent out with the order, have not been followed. Also, because these are completely beyond our control, we cannot be responsible for any airborne pests and diseases such as box blight, fungal leaf spot or aphids.
Under the distance selling regulations you have the legal right to cancel your order within 14 working days of receipt of your order (with the exception of Cut Flowers and Christmas Trees). To cancel an order, please contact us an e-mail at email@example.com. with details of the order you are cancelling. A charge may be made if the cancellation is done after the order or a part of the order has been dispatched.
You can return anything you're not happy with within 28 days of receiving it provided you have contacted us within 14 days of receipt to advise of its return. Returns should not be used and must be in a resaleable condition. The only exceptions to this are Cut Flowers and Christmas Trees.
We will not pay the costs of returning an item to us.
Until we receive the goods you are returning, they are your responsibility. For your protection and peace of mind, we recommend you use a recorded delivery service to return things.
To get a full refund, simply return the item to us in its original condition, in its original packaging within 28 days of cancellation.
If the item has been damaged, used or is not returned in its original packaging, we reserve the right to withhold a percentage of the refund value if the item needs to be reduced in price for resale.

Yes. Every now and then. It's probably not suitable, but I find myself singing Fairytale of New York to him quite often." Bachleda added of baby Henry, "He's great. He's sitting up already. His smiles are lovely." When asked about her weight loss after baby, the actress credited breastfeeding, saying, "Women know that breastfeeding helps, so that's what I did."

Two public hearings are scheduled Thursday in Fayette for residents to ask questions about the electrical aggregation program. A representative from First Energy will attend the hearings.
Hearings are scheduled at 3 and 7 p.m. in the council chambers.
The aggregation plan would lead to electrical rate reductions if residents agree to stay with First Energy for nine years.
All electrical users in the community will be enrolled in the plan, but each would be able to opt out for a $25 fee.
The discount—six percent for residential customers and four percent for small businesses—applies only to the electrical generation portion of a customer's bill. Fayette mayor Ruth Marlatt said an average customer would save about $36 a year through the discount.
Gary Keys of First Energy's Wauseon service center, said the offer is being made to all Northwest Ohio communities served by the utility in order to manage long-range investment in coal. The utility wants to maintain its customer base, he said.

The manual is cheaper an more fun, the DSG is great in traffic and keeps your left foot very relaxed. It's a tough one.
I recently tested two Skodas, both of which came with a DSG and both of which would have been better with a six-speed manual.
I also drove a 2014 Volkswagen Golf GTD, which was just fine with a DSG.
Manuals are dying and we are the ones to blame. Still, when it comes to a 2015 Golf GTI, I believe a stick shift should be a no brainer. After all, the manual will be cheaper to buy, cheaper to service, and you can always spend the extra money on gas...

On April 23, 2014 Wrigley Field turns 100, and the Cubs are planning a season-long party. Chicago Cubs fans are invited to the "Party of the Century" throughout the 2014 season. Tickets for several of the birthday celebrations went on sale March 7 . http://cubs.com/specialevents. The big party will take place on April 23, the 100-year anniversary of the day Wrigley Field, originally named Weeghman Park, hosted its first game where the Chi-Feds defeated the Kansas City Packers 9-1.
To celebrate Wrigley's 100th, the Cubs are hosting the "Party of the Century" all year long, featuring throwback uniforms, specialty food, bobbleheads, special guests and more. On Monday, the team released details of its party plans. Beginning with the Cubs Convention in January, extending to Spring Training and continuing throughout each regular-season home game, the Cubs will pay tribute to the 100 great moments in Wrigley Field history. After Opening Week, different elements from each decade will be featured during 10 homestands at Wrigley Field.
The Cubs have partnered with Majestic Athletic to recreate throwback uniforms from significant events at Wrigley Field during each decade of the ballpark's history. The first is a copy of the 1914 Chicago Federals uniform, which will be worn on the 100th birthday game on April 23 against the D-backs. The remaining uniforms will be worn on a "Throwback Sunday" game for the corresponding decade. Visiting teams also will wear retro uniforms in those games. In addition, the Cubs will feature an alternate road jersey for 2014 that pays homage to the road jersey worn in the 1920s. "Throwback Sunday" games will also include retro toy promotional giveaways to children 13 and under. The items representing each decade will be unveiled at the Cubs Convention.
During each decade-themed Friday home game, the first 10,000 fans at Wrigley will receive a bobblehead honoring key individuals or events from that decade. The Cubs once again will host other special events days, including a golfer's night during the 1950s homestand to commemorate Sam Snead hitting the center field scoreboard with a golf ball. Snead stood at home plate and used an iron to connect off the scoreboard on April 17, 1951. The complete list of special events will be revealed later in the offseason. Tickets went on sale March 7 atcubs.com/specialevents.
Food and beverage offerings from that homestand's specified decade will be featured at Wrigley for the respective homestands, and packaged in collectable cups and helmets. Former athletes, dignitaries and others who helped shape Wrigley Field will be featured and take part in pregame ceremonies, ceremonial first pitches and seventh-inning-stretch conductors.
You'll know it's Wrigley Field's 100th birthday because of the commemorative logo, which will be featured throughout the exterior of the park, the concourse, field level and rooftop flags. The logo will be painted on the grass behind home plate and "100" will be brushed in the center-field grass throughout the season.
Each baseball used at Wrigley Field will be stamped with the logo as well. Bases will have a commemorative base jewel featuring the logo, opponent and date. Cubs players will wear the Wrigley Field 100th patch on their jersey sleeve and side of their caps. Game-used, authenticated items will be available for purchase at Wrigley Field's Cubs Authentics kiosk in the main concourse orcubs.com/authentics.
It's going to be quite the party. "Wrigley Field has played host to a century of remarkable events," Cubs chairman Tom Ricketts said. "We're honored and humbled to commemorate such a treasured icon that millions of fans have enjoyed, whether to watch Cubs baseball, Chicago Bears games, summer concerts or other special events. "We look forward to looking back at the last 100 years while working toward our family's goal of ensuring Wrigley Field is restored and improved for the next generation of Cubs fans," Ricketts said.
The ballpark was built at Clark and Addison streets in 1914 for a cost of $250,000, and was originally named Weeghman Park after Chicago Federals owner Charles Weeghman. It was home to the Chi-Feds (later the Chicago Whales) of the Federal League, and the first game was April 23, 1914. In December 1915, the Federal League folded, and Weeghman assembled a group of investors, including William Wrigley Jr., to purchase the Chicago Cubs and move them to Weeghman Park for the 1916 season. In 1919, Weeghman sold his shares to Wrigley Jr. and the park was renamed Cubs Park. It eventually became Wrigley Field in 1926. Many of the iconic features, such as the bleachers, scoreboard and ivy, were installed in 1937. Cubs fans will be able to purchase keepsakes to celebrate Wrigley's 100th birthday in addition to game-related items.
• "A Century of Wrigley Field: The Official History of the Friendly Confines" is a hard-bound book which pays homage to the ballpark. There are more than 200 lavishly illustrated pages and hundreds of compelling images. The book is the only official Wrigley Field retrospective produced and published by the Chicago Cubs and Major League Baseball. Ernie Banks wrote the foreword, and the book includes tributes from Jimmy Buffett, Chris Chelios, Mike Ditka, Pat Hughes and Len Kasper, and features tributes to Banks, Andre Dawson, Mark Grace, Ron Santo, Sammy Sosa, Kerry Wood and more. Only 10,000 books will be printed at a suggested retail price of $50. The Cubs Store on Clark Street will have 200 advance copies for sale the week of Dec. 9, and the remaining books will be available for online orders in December, with fulfillment taking place before the Cubs Convention in January.
• Fans can purchase an exclusive MLB Productions "100 Years of Wrigley Field" DVD, which will feature historic footage and interviews with former players, celebrity guests and team officials. Attendees at the Cubs Convention will get the first look through an exclusive movie premiere. Copies will go on sale to the public in February.
• Cubs Authentics will authenticate and sell game-used baseballs with the Wrigley Field 100 logo, game-used bases with commemorative base jewels featuring the logo, opponent and date, game-worn Sunday throwback jerseys, standard home uniforms with the Wrigley Field 100th patch and other game-used and autographed memorabilia from the 2014 season. These items will be available for purchase at the Cubs Authentics kiosk in Wrigley Field's main concourse orcubs.com/authentics.
• Fans can find official Wrigley Field 100th merchandise in special sections of the ballpark's gift shops and the Cubs Store. More than 30 different apparel styles feature the Wrigley Field 100th logo, including hats, T-shirts, polo shirts and sweatshirts, as well as novelty items such as key chains, glassware, pins and pennants.
The Cubs have partnered with the Chicago History Museum to highlight Wrigley Field photos from the Chicago Daily News collection in a variety of upcoming collector's items. This relationship will allow the team to make some of the rarely seen historical images available to Cubs fans and media to highlight the museum's contributions to preserving Chicago history and culture.
To learn more about Wrigley Field's 100 years and the team's planned celebrations, fans will be able to visit a custom website, WrigleyField100.com. The site will launch in January before the Cubs Convention, and highlight each of Wrigley Field's 100 great moments as they're unveiled at the ballpark and on social media.
The website will provide information about each decade-themed homestand and corresponding entertainment, plus Cubs players, alumni, celebrities and fans will contribute videos and testimonials. The Cubs will invite fans to participate in polls to determine their "All-Wrigley Team," as well as other topics, such as their favorite broadcasters or concession items.
The team will continue the celebration at the Chicago Cubs' Charities' primary fundraiser, the Bricks & Ivy Ball, April 23, at Navy Pier, Chicago, the night of Wrigley Field's 100th birthday.
In addition, the Cubs will feature an alternate road jersey for 2014 that pays homage to the road jersey worn in the 1920s. They will also have "Throwback Sunday" games that will include retro toy promotional giveaways to children 13 and under. And during each decade-themed Friday home game, the first 10,000 fans at Wrigley will receive a bobblehead honoring key individuals or events from that decade.)

Yesterday was a big day for the iPod community as Apple had it's tech conference releasing information on many of it's new products. Mostly, these conferences are super hush-hush, and this one was no different. Though I did follow the live blog of http://gizmodo.com/, which was very entertaining as well as informative, I've done some sleuthing on my own to find out what is key to the running community about these reinvented Apple Products and also included some pictures.
First off we have the new iPod nano, which now comes in nine amazing colors. Obviously I'm grabbing the pink one when the checkbook allows…
Talk about stopping traffic, these babies are as bright as they look and there are a couple new cool features, which includes a new curved all-aluminum body style and a glass screen. It includes the new Genius feature, which is comparable to a personal DJ by creating play lists and finding songs in your personal library that go together. (Running play list anyone?) Also it has the shake feature, which I have found to be fun on my iPhone, that shuffles your music for you. At initial thought, I think this feature would be great to shuffle, but then my mind thought about running, because of the shaking movement, does that mean your iPod will constantly be changing songs? Something to definitely look into, but I doubt Apple would make such a silly mistake as that. They look great though, and are compatible with my much loved Nike+ System as well. Starting at $149 for an 8GB isn't too pricey, so that's another plus.
Secondly, the released the new iPod Touch which is the one that looks like exactly like the iPhone, but isn't a phone. Anyways, this one has a sleeker design, and also has (drum roll please) Nike+ BUILT IN! Amazing, if you ask me, but at a costly $229, that is a pretty expensive system for a 'running iPod'.
Unfortunately, the only iPod to have the Nike+ application built in is the newest iPod Touch, and there are no known applications for purchase or free for the old iPod Touch or iPhone, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the iPhone app sometime soon!
Both the new iTouch and iPod are also sleeker and slimmer and Steve Jobs called them the "Funniest iPodsEver."
And about the iPhone, I love mine, it's simply amazing and I recommend it to anyone. :)
Another thing that goes with iPods is obviously accessories! Accessories are what make anything happen, so Apple doesn't fall short of amazing there as well. Apple was of course prepared and already has the new armbands available for the new iPods.

"Pioneers of the Oregon and California Trails" is the theme at the next Saturdays at the Museum program offered by the Museum of Anthropology at Utah State University. Activities, including a guest lecture, are July 13.
"Pioneers of the Oregon and California Trails" features activities for both children and adults. At 1 p.m., the American West Heritage Center will join the museum for a lecture highlighting the everyday experiences of settlers as they traveled across the West.
Throughout the day, children can play pioneer games, create their own yarn dolls, replicas of covered wagons and log cabins.
"Hundreds of thousands of people pushed west during the mid-1800s in pursuit of a dream, with many of them migrating through northern Utah," said Candice Cravins, a museum assistant. "We hope to foster a better understanding and appreciation of the many triumphs — and struggles — of the pioneers as they traversed a vast landscape and laid the foundation for the many places we have come to know and love today."
In addition to the "Saturdays at the Museum" activity series with its 10 a.m.-4 p.m. hours, community members and USU students alike can visit the museum during its standard operating hours, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
Funding for Saturday events is provided by a grant from the United States Institute of Museum and Library Services. More information about the IMLS is available online.
The USU Museum of Anthropology can be found on the USU Logan campus in the south turret of the historic Old Main building, Room 252. Admission is free. For Saturday activities, free parking is available in the adjacent lot, south of the building.
For more information about museum events, call museum staff at (435) 797-7545 or visit the museum website.
The Museum of Anthropology is part of the Anthropology Program at USU in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences.

byproducts, meat and fat of unidentifiable origin, low quality fillers, chemical preservative
The second ingredient in this food is a named meat product. "Porcine" meal is the rendered product derived from pork raw material and is more commonly found in foods intended for swine. A further meat ingredient in the food is poultry byproduct meal. This is a very low quality ingredient, not even identified by species and thus of unidentifiable source. "Poultry" could be any fowl and may also vary by source. Unidentified ingredients like this are usually cheap and of very low quality. We prefer not to see them used in dog foods. In this case, the ingredient is also byproducts, which is a meal consisting of the ground, rendered, clean parts of the carcass of slaughtered poultry, such as necks, feet, undeveloped eggs and intestines, exclusive of feathers, except in such amounts as might occur unavoidable in good processing practice. We shudder. The fat ingredient is similarly low quality and of unidentifiable source. We note that the food uses chemical preservatives, banned from use in human foods due to the belief that it is carcinogenic.
The main grains in the food are low quality ingredients also. Corn is of limited value, being a difficult to digest grain that is also commonly implicated in food allergies. In corn gluten form it is that part of the commercial shelled corn that remains after the extraction of the larger portion of the starch, gluten, and term by the processes employed in the wet milling manufacture of corn starch or syrup. In plain English, the remains of corn after most of the nutritious bits have been removed. Wheat is believed by many to be the number one cause of food allergy problems in dogs. In middlings form it is a grain fragment (the remnants of wheat after milling) and filler. Brown rice is a decent quality ingredient, but we've reached the very minor end of the ingredient list to find it. We note that this product includes synthetic vitamin K, a substance linked to liver problems and that is progressively being removed from better quality dog food products.
Overall, this is a very low quality product. It is rated 1* simply because we have no lower rating.

Italian President Says Forming New Government Cannot Be Rushed
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano said on Thursday that the formation of a new government could not be rushed because of what he said were unfounded fears that Italy was a threat to the stability of Europe.
Napolitano told reporters during a visit to Berlin that the Italian constitution requires 20 days between elections - which were held on Sunday and Monday - and the new parliament sitting for the first time.
"I don't see right now how it could be accelerated. But it is important to say that Italy is not without a government, there is a government in office until the new one is sworn in," he said. "Italy is not a contagion risk for anyone."

Air Command 3.0 ($24.95): Proving that not every strategy game has to be one of conquest, Air Command 3.0 is a cunning game of air traffic. Featuring real world airports and all the problems faced by actual air traffic controllers, this is a game playable in quick bites and featuring metric tons of replayability.
Approaching Infinty ($33.95): Take your Asteroid Miner into the far reaches of outer space and look for the ancient artifacts of an alien race you don't understand. Or, hell, just mine some asteroids for fun and profit. The desisions are all yours in this intergalactic space adventure game.

Battle Group Commander ($9.95): A lot of simulation for a little bit of money. Whether you're new to conflict simulation gaming or looking to expand your Air Assault Task Force experience, Battle Group Commander, Episode One is a perfect addition to your electronic arsenal.
BCT Commander ($14.95): The predecessor to ATF: Armored Task Force and Air Assault Task Force, combined arms warfare at a brigade/regimental level. If you like tanks, then BCT Commander is your game.

The Falklands War: 1982 ($33.95): ProSIM does historical. Not many games have tackled the Falklands War. Focusing on the ground actions, this is a perfect example of the flexibility of the ProSIM engine. Instead of commanding platoons of tanks players command platoons of infantry, with fidelity right down to individual bayonet charges.

A mixture of dungeon creation kit and dungeon crawling.
Space HoRSE ($19.95): Inspired by the all-time classic, M.U.L.E., this is a non-violent game of space economics playable with up to four players at one computer. A family favorite.

Shoulder 'pretty good,' Niese OKed to resume throwing
SAN FRANCISCO -- Mets starter Jon Niese was told he could begin a throwing program by team doctors after a favorable follow-up exam Monday in New York.
Niese has been sidelined with a partial left rotator cuff tear since he left a June 20 start with discomfort. Mets assistant general manager John Ricco said Monday's MRI led to the decision to allow Niese to begin throwing.
"Basically the new MRI showed the inflammation was gone, the fluid was out of the shoulder," Ricco said. "The way the doctor termed it, he has 'normal wear and tear' on the shoulder, but it looks pretty good."
Ricco said Niese traveled to Port St. Lucie, Fla., the site of the team's Spring Training complex and home of the Class A affiliate, to begin throwing. He added that there is no timetable for Niese's return to the club or when he could begin throwing off a mound, but he did say the club expects Niese back sometime this season.
In 14 starts this season, Niese is 3-6 with a 4.32 ERA and is part of a rotation hampered by injuries, with Johan Santana out for the season and Shaun Marcum currently experiencing numbness in his right hand.
"I had all the confidence that Jon Niese would pitch again this summer," Mets manager Terry Collins said. "I talked to him the other day and he felt great and was just waiting for the MRI, but he felt good enough to say, 'I'll be back soon.'
"It was good news today to hear that we're ready to move forward. That's good news for us."

I paid my parking citation late and was told that the penalty cannot be waived. Can I appeal?
No, you cannot appeal the late fee. Per the California Vehicle Code, parking citations must be paid within 21 days of the issue date, or 14 days from issuance of the delinquent parking notice. If you moved and did not receive your delinquent parking notice and you failed to submit a change of address with the Department of Motor Vehicles within 10 days from the date you moved, you will still be held responsible for any additional late charges.
I received a citation for violation of California Vehicle Code 5200(a) or 5204(a). What can I do?
If you have proof that you have corrected your violation within 21 days of the citation date, from a California Law Enforcement Officer or Agency, your fine may be reduced to $10.00. To qualify for the fine reduction, the certificate of correction section (located on the back of your citation) must be completed by a law enforcement agency or officer and returned by mail with your payment within 21 days of your citation.
NOTE. If you were also cited for a parking violation on the same citation as the 5200(a), or 5204(a) sections, you must respond to both violations before your citation can be cleared.
I received a Notice of Delinquent Parking from the City of Irvine; however, I have not visited Irvine. How do I clear the citation?
If you received a notice of delinquent parking and your vehicle was not in the City of Irvine on the date the citation was issued, you need to call the Parking Citation Service Center at 1 (866) 453-3603 and request an Administrative Review Form. Complete the Administrative Review Form and submit it along with your vehicle registration and a copy of the delinquent notice. An investigating officer will review the appeal and render a decision as to whether or not you are responsible for paying the parking citation. You will receive written communication from the Parking Administration Office that will provide you with the status of the parking citation. Also note that UCI and The Toll Roads report to the DMV as being an agency in the City of Irvine.
I wanted to contest my parking citation but was informed that it was too late. Can I still appeal and if so, who can I make the appeal to?
No. The California Vehicle Code states that you cannot appeal your parking citation if you do not do so within 21 days from the date your parking citation was issued, or 14 days from the date of your delinquent parking notice. There are no exceptions unless one of the following conditions exists:
1. Your vehicle was stolen at the time the parking citation was issued, or
2. The owner of the vehicle is deceased.
May I get an extension on the payment of my parking citation?
No. Payment extensions are not granted because the Department of Motor Vehicles requires that you pay your citation in full within 21 days from the date that your parking citation was issued, or 14 days from the date of your delinquent parking notice. There are no exceptions.
May I perform community service instead of paying for my parking citation?
No. Parking citations are not criminal offenses and as such, community service cannot be performed in lieu of paying for your parking citation.
My vehicle was sold. Why do I continue to receive parking citations when I no longer own the vehicle?
If you were the registered owner of the vehicle at the time you received the parking citation or notice of delinquent parking, you are responsible for paying the citation. If you did not own the vehicle at the time the parking citation was issued, then it is your responsibility to notify the Department of Motor Vehicles that you sold the vehicle. You are required to submit a DMV Release of Responsibility Form that includes the date you sold the vehicle, as well as the name and address of the person who bought your vehicle. If you are still receiving parking citations from the City of Irvine, it probably means that the Department of Motor Vehicles records are still showing you as the registered owner of the vehicle that received the parking citation. If the parking citation occurred when you were still the legal owner, you are responsible for that citation even if you have since sold the vehicle.
Where does the City of Irvine obtain vehicle registered owner information?
The city's Parking Enforcement Division obtains vehicle registration information, (i.e. name and address of the vehicle's registered owner) from the California Department of Motor Vehicles. In accordance with the California Vehicle Code, you are required by law to provide them with a current mailing address within ten (10) days of a change of address. If you moved and did not provide the Department of Motor Vehicles with your new mailing address within the prescribed time, you will be responsible for any late fees charged to your citation, even if the delinquency notice or Initial Review Outcome letter is mailed to your old address.

Primary or convention? GOP to decide Oct. 13
Now that Democrats are rallying around former Governor Mark Warner's bid for the U.S. Senate in 2008, Republicans must decide on a candidate. But first, the decision on how to decide. State party officials tell D.C. publication The Hotline that they will make the choice between a statewide primary vote or a nominating convention on October 13. UVA professor and political pundit Larry Sabato says this decision could have great sway over who gets the GOP nod, in what many perceive will be a battle between Northern Virginia Congressman Tom Davis and former Governor Jim Gilmore. "It will be much easier for Tom Davis to win if it's a primary," he says. "A primary draws a small electorate, but broader than you will have at a convention, which attracts the most active party members, and they tend to be the most conservative and ideological, which would favor Jim Gilmore."

[Hook: Lily Allen]
So you wanna be a gangster?
Tell me just one thing
What you know about being a hard-man?
Your mum buys your bling
Your pockets getting bigger but you couldn`t pull the trigger if you need to
Cause you haven`t got it
So you might as well quit
[ Verse 1: Dizzee Rascal ]
I`m moving, couldn`t be losing
Nothing but a success thing, I`m proving
Nothing to you half-heart wasters
Standing there yap-yap-yapping on cruising
Nobody dictates, I`m choosing
Where I go, what I do with my life, stupid
And I hold my own, I`m Raskit
You better watch your tone, you spastic
`low it, you`re not heartless
Nothing but a lot of hot air, you`re harmless
I keep getting my paper regardless
Your words don`t faze me, I`m marvelous
Age 22, zero tolerance
And I ain`t got no time for the nonsense
You wanna see me, come to my concerts
And we can do it on stage with a audience
[ Verse 2: Dizzee Rascal ]
Beef, stripes, guts, glory
All these hype bredders in the club bore me
I wish when I`d come through they`d ignore me
I really can`t deal with another war story
Bredders in my face with a fist full of paper
Trying to make out they`re a big money maker
Talking all loud (Better know man a hustler)
I ain`t got time, rudeboy, see you later
And I can`t forget these groupies following
Fronting, raving, ranting, hollering
Yeah, I know I shouldn`t be complaining
But these Jezebels do my brain in
(I ain`t no groupie, who ya calling Jezebel?
Don`t chat to me like I`m just any girl)
Ah security, somebody move her
(I don`t wanna talk to you anyway, loser)
[ Bridge: Lily Allen - 2X ]
That whip don`t make you a big man (Nah mate)
That chain don`t make you a big man (Nah mate)
I know you think you`re a big man (What mate?)
But really you`re just a waste, man (`low it)
[ Verse 3: Dizzee Rascal ]
Yo, let me wrap it up while I`ve still got time
Ain`t nobody telling about no Grime
Cause I know where I stand with it, I`m fine
Handle your biz, I`m handling mine
Everybody chatting `bout black-on-black crime
All I see is the blind leading the blind
I wanna leave all the pettiness behind
You don`t really want to see me cross that line
Leave me alone or you`ll be sorry
Beef ain`t nothing new to me, you wally
Why don`t you just kick back, be jolly
Stay at home with a cup of tea, watch Corrie
I`m not listening anyway, man
Who rattled your cage anyway, man
Ain`t no slacking with this young man
Do what I gotta do everyday, fam

- "Hufflepuff, do your stuff!"
- —Hufflepuff Quidditch Crowd[src]
The Hufflepuff Quidditch Team is the Quidditch team of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's Hufflepuff House. They play in robes of canary yellow, their House colour. The mascot of Hufflepuff House and its Quidditch team is the Badger.
Annual Fixtures
- First/Second weekend in May
- 1st Match: Hufflepuff - Ravenclaw
- Third/Fourth weekend in November
- 2nd Match: Gryffindor - Hufflepuff
- First/Second weekend in March
- 3rd Match: Hufflepuff - Slytherin
1985 -1986 school year
Hufflepuff finished in the bottom three as Gryffindor won the Quidditch Cup.[2]
1986 -1987 school year
Either Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup.
1987 -1988 school year
Either Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup.
1988 -1989 school year
Either Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup.
1989 -1990 school year
Either Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin won the Quidditch Cup.
1991–1992 school year
Hufflepuff was defeated by Gryffindor. Severus Snape refereed the match, and despite Snape's biased refereeing Harry Potter caught the Golden Snitch within five minutes and won the game for Gryffindor.[3]
- Gryffindor defeated Hufflepuff
1992–1993 school year
Hufflepuff only got to play Ravenclaw. The Quidditch Cup was canceled due to attacks on Muggle-born students.
1993–1994 school year
The Slytherin versus Gryffindor match was re-scheduled, so Gryffindor played Hufflepuff first. It was the first game for Hufflepuff's new captain and Seeker, Cedric Diggory. The game was played in extremely poor weather conditions, and both teams sported their goggles for the first time. At one point during the match, Gryffindor led by fifty points, but when both Seekers spotted the Snitch, a group of Dementors entered the stadium and caused Gryffindor Seeker, Harry Potter, to fall off his broom and plummet to the earth, saved only by Professor Dumbledore's use of the Aresto Momentum charm. In Potter's absence Diggory caught the Snitch, giving Hufflepuff the win by one hundred points. When Diggory learned the reason for his victory, he graciously offered to replay the match, but Gryffindor captain Oliver Wood conceded that Hufflepuff had won the game fairly.[4]
It is likely that Slytherin defeated Hufflepuff to go into the last game leading the championship by 200 points[5], considering they only narrowly defeated Ravenclaw.[6]
- Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor
- Slytherin defeated Hufflepuff
1994–1995 school year
Season canceled for the Triwizard Tournament. Captain and Seeker Cedric Diggory, who is in his sixth year at Hogwarts, is murdered by Peter Pettigrew, who was ordered to do so by Lord Voldemort.
1995–1996 school year
Ravenclaw defeated Hufflepuff during the 1995–1996 school year. Although not mentioned in the books, this has to have been the case for Hufflepuff not to have won the Quidditch Cup.
Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor by 240-230. Gryffindor Beater Jack Sloper missed a Bludger and hit his captain in the mouth. Fellow Beater Andrew Kirke fell off his broom when Hufflepuff Chaser Zacharias Smith came flying towards him with the Quaffle. Gryffindor Seeker Ginny Weasley caught the Snitch from right under Hufflepuff Seeker Summerby's nose to end the match on her own terms.[7]
Hufflepuff narrowly defeated Slytherin in their final match.[8]
- Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor, 240-230
- Hufflepuff defeated Slytherin
1996–1997 school year
Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor, 320-60 after Harry Potter, the Gryffindor Team's Seeker and Captain, was knocked unconscious by a Bludger hit by the Gryffindor substitute Keeper Cormac McLaggen. It is unknown how they faired against Ravenclaw and Slytherin in their respective matches.
Hufflepuff defeated Gryffindor, 320-60
1997-1998 school year
Nothing is known about Quidditch during this year.
Uniform and equipment
The Hufflepuff Quidditch team's uniforms are canary yellow and black, the same as their house colours. Similar to the uniforms of the three other houses, the Hufflepuff's Quidditch uniform consists of a long robe, tight fitting jumper, leather gauntlets and shin-guards, and light boots. A small embroidered Hufflepuff crest is stitched onto the uniform over the heart, and the name and number of the player are on the back of the robe in black lettering.[9]
Goggles are often used in stormy playing conditions. In addition to the established uniform, the Keeper wears padded leather chest armour and an optional padded leather helmet. Beaters also carry small black clubs (similar to baseball bats) to help them ward off and redirect Bludgers during matches.

Behind the scenes
- In the books Hufflepuff wear robes of canary yellow. In the film version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban they wear predominantly yellow with some black also.
- In an interview, it was revealed that Michael McManus played Beater for the team in the 1993–1994 school year against Gryffindor. Maxine and Anthony were on the team in the school year 1993-1994, so Michael may have been a reserve.

Hey all,
Man, it is December 8th. It is really close to Christmas!
I have to beg you to go out this weekend and buy your stuff. Next weekend is going to get really crazy, and if you are like me, and usually wait until the last minute, you are going to go crazy again. Now I know some of you are saying, "I am going to do most of my shopping online." Well, it is time. If you do regular shipping you are getting dangerously close to the time.
Once I ordered something online on the 15th of December and it was supposed to be delivered on the 23rd, at least that is what the salesman said. The package arrived - and I am not kidding about this - on February 10th. I called the company and they no longer existed. I called my credit card company and got my money back and waited for a couple of months before I gave it away. Don't get into online trouble this year. Do it early.
Anyway, I am in a quandary. I have this patient that is also my lawn guy. He and I have know each other since I graduated from dental school. I used to play pick-up bball at my church and he was there. I don't think he went to church, but it was a good gym. He has been a patient and our lawn guy for almost 14 years. He does a totally awesome job, but the caveat is that he is very flaky when it comes to showing up.
Now, we have traded all this time. He has four children and it was pretty good even when his wife and kids came in. It gets kind of pricey when the kids get x-rays, cleaning, exam... Sometimes it would be $200 per kid. So a couple of cleanings a year for seven people. I pay $250 per month for his services. Usually, I have to pay him at the end of the year, but not much.
Now he is divorced and his ex-wife and kids are not patients here anymore, and we are really coming out-of-pocket for his services. So now I am paying more attention.
I am also paying more attention because I have more time to pay attention. It seems that in the winter he doesn't really come. As you may know, the grass does not grow in the winter. So he must think he doesn't have anything do and there's no reason to come.
Well, first and foremost I am paying him to come here. Secondly, in the winter, other things need to be done. We have a bunch of oaks that drop their acorns by the thousands. The parking lot gets filled with them, then we drive over them and it becomes a big mess.
(the acorns and the dying grass)
We also have something that looks like a maple tree that drops about a billion leaves. All this is making our property look less than pretty.
(Double-click on the image to make it bigger, but this is the dying grass and the leaves filling up the parking lot.)
As you all know, I am not a big fan of confrontation. But I have been trying to be more of a leader around here. It is my place and if I don't do it, no one will. So I need to buck up and say something to this guy. I need to tell my employees when they are doing something I don't like. It is better for everyone, but it is still hard.
So when my lawn guy was out there the last time, I asked him if he could come every week. I told him that even if he came just to blow off the parking lot and clean the place up, I would be happy. He agreed. I haven't seen him in 15 days.
Now here I am, in a quandary. I know what I have to do. It is time to make a change. But it is 17 days before Christmas. He still has 4 children.
But in these times when the new patients are down and the volume coming through the door is down, you want to impress the ones that do dawn your door. You want them to walk up to the front door saying, "Things are really looking nice around here," or at least not say, "Man, Gammichia is really letting it go around here." And I have to be honest, that is what it is beginning to look like around my place.
He usually comes on Tuesday; it is Wednesday and I haven't seen him. I thought I was going to see him yesterday and read him the riot act. I keep thinking I am going to see him today. But nothing yet. I think I am going to have to make a phone call.
Why can't people just do things right? Why can't he take pride in his work? Why can't he want to treat my office special because we are friends? Why do I have to hound people for good service?
I have a new printer/sign guy now (remember the blog about service?). Well, I started using someone else and it is the same thing. I have to bug him to get things done. I really could go to a website and make the postcards myself faster than he could do it.
I'm so frustrated that my lawn guy has put me in this position. Maybe he just doesn't want the job. I know he lives far away, but if he doesn't want it why doesn't he just say so? Honesty, communication. - what is so hard about that?
I'll let you know how it is goes. Wish me luck.
Now for blog business. It is getting close to the end of the year, and I don't think I have many more blogs in me. I will write a couple, and I have some ghost writer reserves, but this blog is eventually going to take a vacation.
It turns out the ratings system at the end of the blog didn't work out. Some IT issue. But let that not stop you from telling me how you like the blog or what else you want me to talk about.
Talk to you on Friday.
P.S. Just found out the Urban Meyer is resigning. Why don't they just kick me when I am down? I am in so much pain, and right around Christmas time.

Firing the Lawn Guy
3 comments:
Thanks for the reminder that I have done absolutely zero Christmas shopping so far...
I don't know, maybe you can give your office a new persona with all that brush. Add some wildlife and you've got yourself a forest.

No vacation for the blog is my vote, if you were asking for votes. I was telling my friend the other day that I read 3-4 blogs every day and if I don't I feel somehow...incomplete. Well this is one of those blogs.
Hope it goes okay with your lawn guy.

And the Top Gear Car of the Year is… the Citroen DS3. The Awards issue of Britain's best-selling car magazine hits the newsstands today, with Citroen claiming top spot for the first time in the contest's 11-year history.
The DS3 fended off competition from a dozen of the most desirable cars of the last 12 months.
TG's most spectacular Awards issue ever was shot on location in China, against a backdrop of the Forbidden City, downtown Beijing and the Great Wall. The 12 category winners include nominations from Jeremy, James and Richard.
"Editing 2010's cars down to just 12 worthy winners was tough enough,"says Charlie Turner, Top Gear's Editor-in-Chief. "Getting them to China was even tougher. But I'm delighted with the results, and especially delighted to be crowning the DS3 our car of the year."

Do you know there is only one ingredient that separates
successful businesses from unsuccessful ones? That
single ingredient is simply none other than how the
business owner(s) think.
The reason why some people succeed in business and
others don't is that most business owners are negative
thinkers, and they don't even realize it. They start a
business, but lack confidence in their own ability to
succeed in their business.
A lot of unsuccessful business owners have the
entrepreneurial spirit, but they lack focus – often jumping
from one business opportunity to the next. Most of them
have never taken the time to set clear-cut goals for their
business. They tend to be more concerned about how
much money they are going to make, rather than on what
potential customers want.
On the other hand, if you observe successful business
owners, you will notice how well their minds are focused
on success. They are positive, optimistic thinkers. They
do not jump from one business opportunity to another.
When they first start out, they do not scatter their energy
by starting and running several businesses all at once, but
instead will take the time to nurture and build one
business or product line upward (horizontally). They have
a success-consciousness, and are horizontal business
builders, instead of vertical business builders. They know
that it takes time and hard work to build a successful
Unsuccessful business owners tend to be impatient, and
expect to get rich overnight. They are unrealistic in their
goals, and want instant results. They often blame others
when profits are slow in coming, and will give up when the
going gets tough.
But, successful business people are fearless in their drive
to succeed. They will take immediate, massive, repeated
action to achieve their goals. They will never give up until
they make their dreams a reality.
They are more concerned about customer satisfaction,
inspiring trust in prospective customers, and building long-
term relationships with their customer base… the factors
that create success. They place more emphasis on
selling good products and services, than on making
money. They know and understand that the ultimate
reward of customer satisfaction is financial (monetary)
Some successful business people are well educated and
some are not, as far as a formal education is concerned.
What sets them apart from unsuccessful business owners
is that their mind stays focused on success, regardless of
the obstacles in front of them.
If you are to achieve success in business, it is important
that you maintain a success consciousness. You must
keep your mind focused on the road to success, not the
obstacles you encounter on the road to success.
When you know your purpose for being in business, you
cannot be led astray by circumstances, words, or other
business opportunities that have nothing to do with your
goals. You must train your mind to focus on the end
result – the goals-you want to accomplish, not your
If you do, you will be able to achieve practically any goal
you choose for your business.

Coriolanus is a tough play, full of politics and angry people and shouting mobs. It has no comic relief, no jesters, no romance and no real heroes. No great soliloquies, unsympathetic characters, uncomfortable double dealing, treachery and plotting. No powerful subplot as a counterpoint. Pride, arrogance, and power dominate.
Coriolanus himself is empty, driven, bereft of the great passions that animate Shakespeare's other main protagonists.
Except the passion for revenge, which comes upon him halfway through the play. Before that, he seems an automaton, as fixed in his role as an aristocrat and soldier as Tsar Nicholas was, with little softening humanity to give the audience something to like. And like as wedded to his fate as the Tsar.
Harold Bloom wrote:
Shakespeare subtly does not offer us any acceptable alternatives to Coriolanus's sense of honor, even as we are shown how limited and crippling that sense becomes when it is challenged. The hero's mother, his friends, and his enemies, both Roman and Volscian, move us to no sympathy whatsoever.
And yet… even if there's not much noble in Caius Martius, he has honour and enough incipient tragedy about him that we feel keen interest in his story. He is, if nothing else, true to himself, with no apparent ulterior motives or hidden agendas to guide his deeds or words. He's a soldier; he does his job without questioning.
Scholars aren't even sure if the play was performed during Shakespeare's lifetime. But after the Restoration, various directors dug it up and molded the play to fit some contemporary political event or cause. Even today, it's considered popular as a symbolic political work, easily adapted to modern views.
Which is what Ralph Fiennes does well in his 2011 film of the play. Fiennes both directs and acts the central role, brilliantly in both cases.
I'm always leery of Shakespeare in modern clothes. It sometimes seems artificial and contrived to have modern-day characters strutting around speaking 16th century lines. But not in this Coriolanus. The stagecraft is remarkable, and the date language seems made fit for the setting. I was glued to the screen as it unfolded, and stuck to it for the entire two hours. The pacing is brisk, with plenty of action and emotion. It feels modern, relevant.

The Center for Black Equity and the University of Pittsburgh Graduate School of Public Health are partnering on a new research project to study reasons for increased risk of HIV infection among African-American men who have sex with men (MSM).
The project, funded by a $3.2 million grant from the National Institute of Nursing Research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), will seek to enroll nearly 6,000 African-American MSM who attend Black Gay Pride events in large cities nationwide.
"It has become clear in recent years that the major reason that African-American MSM have such high rates of HIV infection is not that these men have high rates of risk-taking behaviors for infection," said Ron Stall, Ph.D., M.P.H., director of the Center for LGBT Health Research at Pitt Public Health. "Rather, the reason for elevated infection has far more to do with lack of access to HIV testing and medical care."
"By learning more about the barriers to HIV testing and access to care among people positive for HIV, we can do a better job of preventing new HIV infections among African-American MSM and keep those infected healthy for many years to come," said Earl Fowlkes, president and chief executive officer of the Center for Black Equity.
Dr. Stall and his team plan to recruit men for their study at Black Gay Pride events in Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. Black Gay Pride events have grown to become a social movement in the United States attended by an estimated 300,000 people annually.
The men will be asked questions as part of an anonymous survey that will help researchers understand the barriers and facilitators to HIV testing and care.
In addition to data about HIV risk in this population, the study will generate information about other social determinants that are likely to be important to the overall health of African-American MSM, including depression, substance use, violence victimization and other health problems. Finally, the study will measure specific resiliencies – or the ability to avoid negative health outcomes – that may be important resources for health, even among men who must cope with adverse social environments.
"It is exciting to be part of a study that will create the largest sample of HIV-related data from African-American MSM ever taken, and one that will yield important data about the health and well-being of our community. The Center for Black Equity will work with our partners at the University of Pittsburgh to ensure that these data are shared with the community and can be used to improve the health of these men," said Mr. Fowlkes.
"We are very excited about the opportunity to work with the Center for Black Equity to put an important study like this into the field," said Dr. Stall. "HIV/AIDS has been a crisis in the African-American MSM community for more than 30 years, and it is past time that we took this epidemic more seriously. We hope that this study, in collaboration with other research and care efforts, will provide a real contribution to bringing this dangerous epidemic to an end."
