In a case of movie title imitating life, Russell Brand's facial hair refused to begin filming Eric Idle's new musical What About Dick? until he convinced a wardrobe assistant to flash him. He actually delayed production for two hours, haranguing her the entire time. A source said:
She was having none of it – at first. But when it started to look like they weren't going to get any work done she gave in and flashed him.
Did you guys know that if you bring your yogi to public appearances and talk about the importance of being spiritual on Jimmy Fallon and shit, you get a karmic pass—nay, the natural right!—to see the sweater puppies of any below-the-line person on your movie set?

XOXO, Gossip Girl. [Daily Mail]
The judging table of singing competitions is quickly becoming a curse to celebrity marriages: first Britney Spears and Jason Trawick, and now Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. Cannon's pissed that Carey, who just signed on to judge American Idol didn't join him on his competing show America's Got Talent (even after he "dangled incentives" like jewelry, a spa vacation, the payment of a $15 million "gift") and their holy union is now in jeopardy, I guess.

Did you guys hear how great Pitbull was? No? Well, let Pitbull tell you in his new single "Get It Started," wherein he boasts about his recent tour and completely ignores hook girl Shakira draping herself all over a balcony while singing the wistful chorus. Sample rhyme:

How to claim goods
You can make a complaint in person at the stores in Prague or Brno in the Czech Republic or send it to the headquarters of Hayashi.cz with the attached completed complaint form.
The form can be downloaded HERE. You can send it to our e-mail: email@example.com
If you are a consumer, the complaint will be processed within 30 days. If you are not a consumer, we try to handle the complaint as soon as possible.
Hand over the product to that you are claiming CLEAN in accordance with hygiene regulations or general hygiene principles. IT MUST CONTAIN ALL PARTS AND ACCESSORIES that are necessary to verify the claimed defect. (CAUTION, for hygiene reasons, we WILL NOT accept any smelly goods, blood-stained or excessively soiled goods.)
Warranty period
The warranty period starts from the day you received the goods. The warranty period does not include the period from the time when the goods are claimed to the time when the buyer is obligated to take over the goods after the end of the warranty repair. If the product is older than 6 months, the defect is not considered a manufacturing defect. It is then dealt with individually and the wear and tear of the goods is taken into account.
Mechanical damage
Mechanical damage is not covered by the warranty! The warranty cannot be applied to normal wear and tear of the goods. This means that if, for example, the customer is a performance athlete and uses the purchased product daily, normal wear and tear will naturally be much faster than for amateur athletes.
The above cannot be applied to gifts for goods.
The consumer has a 2-year warranty on the goods, the club or entrepreneur only has a 1-year warranty on the IN number.
This complaints regulation was prepared in accordance with the provisions of Act No. 89/2012 Coll., Civil Code and No. 634/1992 Coll., Act on Consumer Protection, as amended (hereinafter referred to as the "Act") and applies to consumer goods (hereinafter referred to as "Goods"), while the Buyer's rights from liability for defects (hereinafter just "Complaints").
A consumer is any person who, outside the scope of his business activity or independent performance of his profession, concludes a contract with an entrepreneur or deals with him in any other way.
The seller is a company Hayashi.cz s.r.o., based in: Seydlerova 2149/7, 158 00 Praha 5, Czech Republic, IN 03472591, VAT CZ03472591. It is an entrepreneur who directly or through other entrepreneurs supplies the Buyer with products or provides services.
The customer of our online store is either a consumer Buyer or a Buyer who, when concluding and fulfilling the contract, acts as part of his business or other business activity. If the contracting party is not a consumer, but an entrepreneur, relations not regulated by business conditions are governed by the Civil Code (No. 89/2012 Coll.). The warranty period is 1 year.
I. Defects of goods
The seller is responsible to the consumer that the item has no defects upon receipt. In particular, the seller is responsible to the consumer that at the time the consumer took over the item,
- the thing has the properties agreed upon by the parties and, in the absence of an agreement, those properties which the seller or manufacturer described or which the buyer expected with regard to the nature of the goods and on the basis of the advertising carried out by them,
- the item is suitable for the purpose for which the seller states its use or for which the item of this type is usually used,
- the quality or design of the thing corresponds to the contracted sample or model, if the quality or design was determined according to the contracted sample or model,
- is a thing in the corresponding quantity, measure or weight and
- the matter complies with the requirements of legal regulations.
II. Rights from product defects
If the item does not have the above-mentioned characteristics, the consumer may also request the delivery of a new item without defects, if this is not unreasonable due to the nature of the defect, but if the defect concerns only a part of the item, the consumer may only request the replacement of the part; if this is not possible, he can withdraw from the contract.
However, if this is disproportionate due to the nature of the defect, especially if the defect can be removed without undue delay, the consumer has the right to have the defect removed free of charge.
The consumer has the right to the delivery of a new item or the replacement of a part even in the case of a removable defect, if the item cannot be used properly due to the repeated occurrence of the defect after repair or due to a larger number of defects. In such a case, the consumer also has the right to withdraw from the contract.
If the consumer does not withdraw from the contract or if he does not claim the right to the delivery of a new item without defects, to the replacement of its component or to the repair of the item, he can demand a reasonable discount. The consumer has the right to a reasonable discount even if the seller cannot deliver a new item without defects, replace its part or repair the item, as well as if the seller does not remedy the situation in a reasonable time or if the remedy would cause significant difficulties for the consumer.
The right of defective performance does not belong to the buyer, if the buyer knew before taking over the item that the item had a defect, or if the buyer himself caused the defect.
III. Deadlines
The consumer is entitled to claim the right from a defect that occurs in the consumer goods within twenty-four months from receival of the goods. If a defect becomes apparent within six months from receival of the goods, it is considered that the item was already defective upon receipt.
The warranty period begins upon receival of the Goods by the Customer. The warranty period for the Consumer Buyer is 24 months, but for the Buyer, who is acting as part of his business or other business activity when concluding and fulfilling the contract, the warranty period is only 12 months.
The warranty period is extended by the time during which the Goods were under warranty repair. In case of exchange of Goods, a new warranty period begins.
IV. Other
The seller's liability for defects does not extend to wear and tear of the item caused by its casual use. In the case of an item sold at a lower price due to a defect for which a lower price was agreed on, in the case of a used item due to a defect corresponding to the degree of use or wear and tear the item had when taken over by the buyer, or if this results from the nature of the item.
At the consumer's request, the Seller is obliged to provide the consumer with a written confirmation of obligations from defective performance to the extent established by the law (warranty certificate). If the nature of the thing allows it, instead of a warranty certificate, it is sufficient to issue to the Buyer a proof of purchase of the item containing the data (invoice), which must contain the data such as a warranty card. The warranty card must contain the name and surname, name or business name of the Seller, IN number, registered headquarters, if it is a Legal Person, or place of residence, if it is a Natural Person. If a longer warranty than the statutory one is provided, the Seller will determine the terms and scope of the warranty extension in the warranty card.
The consumer is entitled to withdraw from the contract in all cases established by the Law. Withdrawal is effective for the Seller from the moment the Buyer's declaration of withdrawal from the contract is delivered to him, if all necessary legal conditions are met. In case of withdrawal from the contract, the contract is canceled and the contracting parties are obliged to return everything they have provided on its basis. In case of cancelling the contract due to the exercise of rights arising from liability for defects, the Buyer returns the performance provided by the Seller only to the extent that it is objectively possible in the given situation.
V. Complaint settlement
In case that the Buyer uses his right to require the removal of defects of the goods by repair and in the warranty card, for the purposes of warranty repairs of the Goods, the designated entrepreneur is different from the Seller, whose registered headquarters or place of business is in the same place as in the case of the Seller or in a place closer to the Buyer, the Buyer shall exercise the right to warranty repair at the entrepreneur listed in the warranty card. This information can possibly be found in the document that replaces the warranty card.
The complaint, including the removal of the defect, must be handled without undue delay, no later than 30 days from the day the Complaint is applied, unless the Seller and the Buyer agree on a longer period. After the expiration of this period, the Buyer shall be granted the same rights as if there had been a breach of the contract.
The period for handling complaints is suspended if the seller has not received all the documents necessary for handling the complaint (parts of the goods, other documents, etc.). The seller is obliged to request additional documents from the buyer in the shortest possible time. The deadline is suspended from this date until the requested documents are delivered by the buyer.
In a situation where it is necessary to send the Goods to the Seller or a service center, the Buyer, in his own interest, ensures that the Goods are packed in suitable and sufficiently protective packaging material that meets the requirements of transporting fragile Goods, including all accessories, and marks the shipment with the appropriate symbols.
After the complaint has been properly processed, the service center will invite the buyer to take over the repaired goods. The right to claim the warranty expires in the case of unprofessional assembly or unprofessional commissioning of the Goods, as well as in the case of unprofessional handling of them, i.e. in particular when using the goods in conditions that do not match the parameters specified in the documentation for the goods. In case of withdrawal from the purchase contract or provision of a discount on the purchase price, the relevant payment is returned to the Buyer by bank transfer or handed over in cash at the cash register at the company's headquarters or at one of the establishments.

A U.S. judge on Tuesday approved Swiss-based Transocean Ltd.'s agreement with the Justice Department to pay $1 billion in civil penalties for its role in the massive 2010 oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico—the nation's worst offshore oil spill.
Last week, a different judge approved Transocean's criminal settlement with the federal government. The company pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge and will pay $400 million in criminal penalties.
Transocean owned the Deepwater Horizon drilling rig, which exploded and sank over BP's Macondo well in April 2010. The accident killed 11 rig workers and spawned the oil spill.
A trial scheduled to start Feb. 25 is designed to identify the causes of BP's Macondo well blowout and assign percentages of fault to the companies involved.
British oil giant BP, which leased the rig from Transocean and owned the blown-out well, reached a separate criminal settlement with the Justice Department. BP agreed to pay a record $4 billion in criminal penalties and pleaded guilty to manslaughter and other criminal charges related to the spill.
Transocean has two years to pay the $1 billion civil penalty. The settlement also calls for Transocean to implement a series of operational safety and emergency response improvements on its rigs.
Much of the $1.4 billion that Transocean agreed to pay will fund environmental restoration projects and spill-prevention research and training
Civil claims against BP by the federal government and five Gulf states haven't been resolved. Transocean said in a September regulatory filing that it rejected settlement offers last year from BP and a group of lawyers representing Gulf Coast residents and businesses who blame the spill for economic damage. Those claims also are pending.

Lord Nibbler
Secondary character | |
Lord Nibbler | |
Age | 3298[1] |
Date of birth | 274 BC |
Species | Nibblonian |
Planet of origin | Eternium |
Relatives | See Family section |
First appearance | First canon appearance: "Space Pilot 3000" (1ACV01) (shadow only), First actual appearance: "Love's Labours Lost in Space" (1ACV04) |
Voiced by | Frank Welker |
Lord Nibbler (real name unknown) is a member of a proud and ancient race, the Nibblonians. Born 274 BC, he is old and wise, and with a high status in the Nibblonian world, yet he prefers to be Turanga Leela's pet, and a member of the Planet Express crew.
Lord Nibbler was responsible for pushing Fry into the cryogenic tube and sending him to the year 3000. Nibbler was stationed on Vergon 6 until Leela discovered him there and instantly fell for his cuteness. He is the Nibblonian Ambassador on Earth and has recently become a member of the Planet Express crew.
Stationed on Vergon 6
Lord Nibbler was born on Planet Eternium in 274 BC, making him almost 3300 years old, one of the oldest characters in the series. Not much is known of Nibbler's biography before New Years' Eve, 1999, at which time he was stationed at the planet Vergon 6 alongside a great number of his species.[2] At this time, the Nibblonians had learned that Philip J. Fry was "the Mighty One", the only being in the universe capable of stopping the Brain Spawn over a thousand years later. However, because Fry lived in the 20th century, Nibbler got the mission to make sure that he fell into the cryogenic tube at Applied Cryogenics, frozen until the year 3000.
Nibbler continued to be stationed on Vergon 6 for the next thousand years, but due to Dark Matter being the excrement of the Nibblonians, the planet's core was slowly filled with the valuable Dark Matter. As a result, a DOOP mining operation started, and as the core was mined out, the planet was left hollow and as a consequence dangerously sensitive for a coming implosion. The Nibblonians soon fled the planet, but Nibbler was pooping at the time, and was thus left behind.
Hiding his intelligence
On 13 April, 3000, the Planet Express crew - Leela, Bender and Fry - landed on Vergon 6 to rescue the animals left from the coming implosion of the planet. They encountered Nibbler (who ate the rest of the animals), and fled moments before the planet's doom. Nibbler hid his real identity and intelligence from the crew, and indeed from all non-Nibblonians he would encounter, and pretended to just be a dumb pet. Leela took Nibbler in, in the belief that he was dog-like in intelligence, and made him her pet.
Lord Nibbler hid his intelligence until the day the Earth stood stupid, when he told Leela the truth about his origins. This eventually helped Fry defeat the Brain Spawn, an enemy to the Nibblonians. Thanks to the Brain Spawn's psychic attack, Leela couldn't remember Nibbler's intelligence. Fry, on the other hand, was not affected by the Brain Spawn, thanks to him lacking the delta brainwave, but no one believed him about the Brains. Later, Nibbler then revealed himself again to Fry, because Fry needed to destroy the Brain Spawn's Infosphere. Afterwards Nibbler erased Fry's mind so he could remain undercover.
Revealed to the crew
In 3007, he finally revealed his true nature to the whole crew during a failed attempt to avert disaster and on seeing the formation of a dangerous tear in the time-space continuum. Nibbler escaped the universe by swallowing himself, forgetting to blank everyone's memories. He returned in 3008, after Yivo was gone. It is unknown how he managed to get back to our universe. Nibbler was kidnapped by Mom's sons and imprisoned in a dark matter farm with hundreds of other Nibblonians. After this, he once again didn't wipe their memories. Despite everybody knowing that he was sentient, the Planet Express crew continued to treat him like a pet... until August of 3010, when he was granted the status of crew member.
Character description
Appearance and clothing
Nibbler has (like other Nibblonians) three eyes, one of which is on an "eye stalk", a single nostril, and fang-like teeth. He is knee-tall compared to humans, and mostly covered in fur.
While at the headquarters, he always wears a red cape, small yellow shoes and baby diapers. When accompanied by other Nibblonians and on missions, however, he is much more formally dressed. He also has a naval uniform which he dresses up in on occasion, and in which his best friend for some reason died.
As Nibbler remarks in "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid", his true name is not really Nibbler - that was just the name that Leela gave him when first finding him.[1ACV04] The other Nibblonians uses this name as well, however, when speaking in English, because his true name would take too long to pronounce properly, or so he claims.
As shown in "The Why of Fry", Nibbler was already an adult with no apparent physical changes in 1999 as compared to the 31st century. In the same episode, he tells Fry that his species "live long". As a bonus to the Volume Two DVD, Nibbler's age was revealed to be 3,277.
When Nibbler's right fang broke in "I Second that Emotion", the veterinarian told Leela that the rings on his tooth could indicate his age ("if he's anything like the common tree"). Taking his word for granted, this had Leela assume that Nibbler was five years for a while.
Nibbler has no known direct family, although Leela could be seen as his adoptive mother, or owner.
While on the surface pretending to be a cuddly pet - long even disguising his intelligence entirely - Nibbler is highly intelligent and sophisticated. He enjoys being Leela's "schnuchoms", but sometimes longs for intelligent conversation and approval in the human world.
The character of Nibbler was planned before the pilot, including that he would really be a talking, intelligent alien, and that he would hold the truth of the greater conspiracy that had Fry frozen. While everything wasn't planned out from the beginning, the writers included Nibbler's shadow for a short second as Fry falls into the tube in "Space Pilot 3000", in spite of Nibbler's first real appearance being several episodes later, and in spite of the bigger conspiracy starting to unveil several seasons later.
His original appearance was hard to pin-point. Matt Groening insisted that he was supposed to be extremely cute, but that when looking at his separate components - his eye stalk, his one nostril, his fangs - he seems really ugly. In one original design of Nibbler, he would have drool constantly hanging from his nostril, but without ever dripping.[3]
As of "That Darn Katz!", Nibbler and Scruffy are the only members of the Planet Express crew who are not primary characters.

Additional info
- Nibbler is featured on one of the discs of The Complete Collection 1999-2009.
- When Nibbler's right fang broke in "I Second that Emotion" (when he chewed at Bender's butt), it was replaced by a tooth of belonging to a veterinarian.
- If you look closely, you can see Nibbler's shadow under the chair when Fry falls into the tube in "Space Pilot 3000".
- In "Anthology of Interest I", when Fry misses the freezer by an inch in the alternate future the What-If Machine shows, Nibbler's shadow is gone, though this may be why Fry doesn't go to the future in that separate version of the timeline.
- However, in "The Why of Fry", when Fry tries to cross Nibbler and eventually decides to let himself be sent to the future after all, there are two shadows under the desk - those of Nibbler and Fry (seen earlier in "Jurassic Bark").
- Nibbler's spaceship, parked inside a container near the Planet Express headquarters, is just big enough to accept him and an adult human - if Nibbler scootches up his seat, that is.
- The dark matter he excretes was used to fuel the Planet Express ship, before the events of Bender's Game.
- He comes in the Toynami action figure line as an one of the Professor's accessories.
- It is unknown if Nibbler was present in Universe Gamma during the events of the second movie, as he fled it by the end of the first one.
- He won a Tony Award for his performance in Nibbler on the Roof.
- He planted a tracking chip in Leela's Wristlojackimator for emergencies.
- His third eye can summon his ship and change the appearance of other beings (this has only been done to Fry), however, this drains his strength and he can only keep it up for a short period of time.
- Nibbler ate himself to get out of Universe Γ, implying that his stomach transports matter to another universe.
Fry: But I know you in the future, I clean your poop!
Nibbler: Possible, my people live long and are celebrated poopers.
Nibbler: The poop-eradication is but one aspect of your importance.
Fry: I did do the nasty in the pasty.
Nibbler: Yes, that past nastification is what gives you your special powers.
Nibbler: Alas, our kitten-class attack ships were no match for their mighty chairs. The universe is doomed. Doomed!
Fry: Can I pull up my pants now?
Nibbler: DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMED!
Nibbler: Everyone out of the universe, quick!
Nibbler: Stop, you fools!
Leela: Nibbler! You--you can talk?
Nibbler: I can do more than talk. I can pontificate!
Nibbler: We must remove the time-tattoo as quickly and painlessly as possible!
[Cut to Fry's apartment. Fry is on the sofa screaming in agony while the Professor, Bender and Bubblegum hold him down. Leela and Lars keep watch at the door. They see the Scammer Aliens approaching.]
Lars: Quick, they're coming!
[Nibbler finishes lasering the tattoo off Fry's butt.]
Nibbler: The tattoo is gone. I saved the space-time continuum and 40% of your rectum.
[Everyone cheers.]
Bubblegum: That's all you need!

And yet he is really– pretty cute, huh?" - Matt Groening (transcript)

Britain is a huge market for Amazon, the U.S. online retailing giant, accounting for as much as 25% of its total sales outside the U.S. — more than $5 billion annually. The company also employs about 15,000 staffers in the U.K. But it paid less than $3 million in tax to the British Inland Revenue last year.
How so? Because Amazon's main European operations are incorporated in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, a speck on the European map that, like Britain, is a member of the European Union but that for years has done a roaring business by offering foreign companies extremely low tax rates. By being based there, Amazon reports only about $330 million in revenue in the U.K. — compared with almost $12 billion in Luxembourg, where its taxes came to just $10.7 million. That's a rate of just 0.009%. Amazon can do this because its U.K. arm is registered as a service company for the Luxembourg holding company Amazon EU SARL.

That type of complex corporate structure — used by many multinationals operating in Europe, including Google and Starbucks — is legal. It simply takes advantage of sharp differences in corporate tax rates and incentives in Europe to optimize tax payments and in the process boost profits. The European Union is a single market, which means that companies can incorporate anywhere and sell their goods and services across the continent, but because there is no harmonized taxation system, it's a playground for smart accountants and tax specialists who know how to exploit the differences.
Google bases its European operations in low-tax Ireland and remits some of its profits to a company in Bermuda as payments for intellectual property. Starbucks is based in the Netherlands and pays a Swiss company for its coffee.
(MORE: The $7 Cup of Starbucks: A Logical Extension of the Coffee Chain's Long-Term Strategy)
Now comes the political backlash. The Public Accounts Committee of the British Parliament on Monday released a report that called this type of business practice "immoral" and asked companies, including the three U.S. firms, to pay more. "We consider that paying an appropriate amount of tax in the country in which profits are made is not only a matter of basic economics. It is also a matter of morality," Margaret Hodge, who chaired the committee, said in a statement. "The U.K. should be taking the lead in making this point."
Some Britons are hoping that the public fuss about the low tax payments will shame the firms into changing their arrangements. Referring to Starbucks, which has posted a financial loss in Britain for 14 of the past 15 years despite having a 31% market share, U.K. Business Secretary Vince Cable told the Guardian that he "can fully understand why people would vote with their feet as a result of their tax dodging."
It's not just Britain that is starting to make a fuss. France has taken legal action against both Amazon and Google, and a report in the French business daily Les Echos says the socialist government is looking to beef up its arsenal tax measures. Legislators in Germany and Italy are also angry. After all, at a time when governments are looking to cut spending and raise taxes, it's galling to discover that some of the richest companies in the world seem to be thumbing their noses at you, tax-wise.
(MORE: Tax the Rich? French and British Leaders Spar over Plans to Make Wealthy Pay Up)
However, other than sending in tax inspectors to ensure that nothing fraudulent is being done, there's not a great deal that governments can do to root out the practice. The key here is what's known as transfer pricing, which is accountant-speak for determining which revenues and profits should be recognized in which parts of a multinational company with affiliates in numerous countries. For example, Google has a very strong case to make that its intellectual property (in other words, the sophisticated algorithms that make its search engine so useful) is something for which its subsidiaries worldwide should be paying for — thereby transferring a portion of their revenue back to Google elsewhere.
Over the past decade, international rules that govern transfer pricing and tax loopholes have been tightened under the auspices of the Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), which in particular has put growing pressure on tax havens. The OECD is now trying to take its work a step further with an initiative called base erosion and profit shifting. This came out of the G-20 meeting in Mexico last summer; the OECD is supposed to issue a report on the subject in early 2013. But as it acknowledges, "domestic rules for international taxation and internationally agreed standards are still grounded in an economic environment characterized by a lower degree of economic integration across borders, rather than today's environment of global taxpayers, characterized by the increasing importance of intellectual property as a value-driver and by constant developments of information and communication technologies."
In other words, you can howl as much as you want, but as long as there are free markets, different tax rates in different countries and armies of clever accountants, public shaming may well be the most effective strategy to deal with the problem.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A potential federal shutdown hurtling ever closer, the Senate dealt an emphatic defeat to a core of rebellious young conservatives Friday and approved legislation preventing government agencies from closing on Tuesday.
The 54-44 vote, however, hardly spelled an end to Washington's latest down-to-the-wire budget drama. It remains unclear whether the Democratic-led Senate and the Republican-run House will be able to craft a compromise and rush it to President Barack Obama for his signature before the government has to tell hundreds of thousands of federal workers to stay home.
The fight was certain to spill into the weekend at least. House GOP leaders were still struggling Friday to win over restive conservatives and concoct a new version of the bill that would be able to win approval in their chamber - and clear the Senate too.
The high-stakes showdown was playing out in a climate of chaos, unpredictability and GOP infighting that was extraordinary even by congressional standards. Reflecting the building drama, Senate Chaplain Barry Black opened Friday's session with a prayer that included, "Lord, deliver us from governing by crisis."
Before final approval, the Senate voted 79-19 to reject an effort by some Senate conservatives to block final passage of the legislation.
Led by first-term GOP Sens. Ted Cruz of Texas and Mike Lee of Utah, the band of conservatives has wanted to derail the shutdown bill. They argued such a move would have prevented Democrats from removing a provision blocking money for Obama's health care law and forced Democrats to negotiate on reining in that 2010 overhaul, which conservatives and many Republicans despise.
Yet Republican lawmakers opposed the conservatives' tactics, worried that it was doomed to failure and would only enhance the chances of a government shutdown for which the GOP would be blamed by voters.
The lopsided margin of the vote against the conservatives underscored the opposition they stirred in their own party. Twenty-five GOP senators voted against them, including Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and the Senate's other two top Republicans, John Cornyn of Texas and John Thune of South Dakota.
"It is not easy to disagree with your political party," said Cruz. "But at the end of the day, what we're doing here is bigger than partisan politics. What we're doing here is fighting for 300 million Americans," who, he asserted, widely oppose Obamacare.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., barely concealed his scorn for the conservatives' effort.
"Today, the Republican Party has been infected by a small and destructive faction," he said. Noting the increased risk of a shutdown that he said they had caused, Reid continued, "A bad day for government is a good day for the anarchists among us."
Even in the House, some Republicans were unhappy with Cruz's and Lee's efforts.
"I think that a government shutdown is counterproductive to our message in 2014, because we transfer the public's attention perhaps away from Obamacare and instead put it on the pain that will be inflicted, that is still to be determined, on the effects of a government shutdown," said Rep. Steve Womack, R-Ark.
The House had previously approved a version of the shutdown bill that included the language - demanded by conservatives there - stripping Obamacare money.
That House bill would keep agencies working Tuesday, when the government's new fiscal year begins, through Dec. 15. The Senate bill shortened that date to Nov. 15 in hopes of prodding congressional committees to quickly complete spending bills bearing details of agency budgets.
GOP disunity over what to include in a separate debt limit measure forced leaders to indefinitely delay that legislation, which is aimed at preventing a damaging, first-ever federal default that the Obama administration has warned could otherwise occur by Oct. 17.
At one point Thursday, GOP divisions burst into full view on the Senate floor as Cruz and Lee forced the Senate to wait until Friday to approve its bill preventing a shutdown.
"The American people are watching this" but expected the vote Friday or Saturday, said Lee, who asked Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., to not hold the roll call on Thursday.
Reid accused the conservatives of "a big, big stall."
Asked Thursday whether he envisions the House approving a simple Senate-passed bill keeping the government open, House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, told reporters, "I don't see that happening." GOP lawmakers said he signaled the same thing at a closed-door meeting Thursday.
They said the House might insert provisions into the shutdown bill repealing an unpopular tax on medical devices that helps pay for Obama's health care overhaul, or erasing federal subsidies for Congress' own health care coverage. They could then dare the Senate to reject the overall measure - and face the fallout from the government shutdown that would result.
But lawmakers and GOP aides cautioned that no decisions had been made, in part because it was unclear whether even those provisions would help win enough votes for House passage.
In an attempt to build support for the debt limit bill, House GOP leaders considered adding a stack of provisions.
A one-year delay of "Obamacare," expedited congressional work on tax reform and clearing hurdles to the proposed Keystone XL oil pipeline from Canada to Texas were considered certainties. Other possibilities included boosts in Medicare costs for higher earners, land transfers in California and Oregon, and repealing Federal Communications Commission restraints on Internet providers' ability to control available content.
Even so, many conservatives said the debt limit bill lacked sufficient spending cuts.

I still have questions….Great! We have a lot of answers!
A little about us...
We are a small, family-owned business. Tom and I both work non-stop doing what we love best and feel very grateful for this opportunity. We are located just outside of Kansas City, Missouri, so your new furniture will be made in the USA! You can find out more about our story: ABOUT US
1. What is the current lead time?
current lead time is at least 2-3 weeks as of May 15, 2024. Please know that sometimes as a small business, we can hit a snag and things can slow us down but we will work hard to keep up with this posted time. We appreciate your patience while we create your beautiful handmade item!
2. Why do I not see shipping rates?
Shipping is free unless you are in Hawaii or Alaska, please message us for rates as they are NOT the same. We wish they were. We ship only to the United States (48 contiguous). We do not ship to APO, FPO or PO boxes.
WE NO LONGER SHIP TO CANADA as of 4/2/24
3. What is the difference between "assembly required" and "fully assembled plus freight shipping"?
Quad trash and laundry cabinets: We offer expert assembly, FedEx Freight shipping, (to the first level entrance of the home, building or driveway) and the correct number of trash cans. To receive your item fully assembled and delivered via freight to your driveway or curb, with all of the hamper bags or trashcans and backing please use the dropdown menu.
All other cabinets and hampers require assembly. Trash cans can be purchased separately as they are not included with our assembly-required option. Trash cans can be purchased here:
4. Where do you ship? Who is your shipper? How much is shipping?
Shipping is free for the contiguous U.S. We ship only to the United States.
Our carrier is FedEx and UPS. We will ship to the address listed on your order. If you have entered the wrong address, just message us before we ship your item. We can help. But once it ships, it has to be redirected and FedEx charges for that service.
If you are local to Kansas City, contact us to pick your item up.
Large coffee tables and quad units with drawers are sent via FedEx freight. For quad units choose freight for this to be applicable. An adult may need to be present for delivery. Entry tables and end tables are sent ground. Entry tables require some assembly.
Other important info:
1. Do I need backing?
The back is open unless you purchase a bin/hamper with a drawer. If your bin/hamper has a drawer then the drawer portion is covered. See the picture below. Full hardboard backing serves no functional purpose. Our bins/hampers are sturdy and solid. Your bin/hamper is easier to clean with *no* backing attached. For those customers who would prefer backing, We do sell it separately under ADD ON ITEMS located in the top menu. This backing must be purchased at the same time as your item and can't be shipped after your cabinet has shipped without charging shipping.
If purchased, the back of the bin is hardboard backing. As you can see, it's not a 'finished' back. But then again, most backs are to the wall. Finished backing, which includes painting the backing is not available. It is only available as depicted.
2. Where is the mounting bracket on cabinets and hampers and do I need to use it?
The bracket can be found in the back of the bin/hamper on the inside. If you have a drawer, remove the drawer to locate it. If not, just open the door and look towards the back. It is built into the triangle side pieces behind the cabinet. See picture below. Drill through the backing if you have it and into your structure.
We require mounting any type of cabinet purchased from us. It is your responsibility to use the provided safety measures to keep your family safe. If you need assistance, contact a professional. We provide this as a way to keep you safe however, it is your responsibility to secure your cabinet.
3. How do I use this trash cabinet/hamper?
The cabinet is very easy to use. Think of it as a cabinet door that you pull open using the handle and also hold the handle to guide the door shut. We have a video available if a visual is helpful. See below. We now equip our cabinets and hampers with soft close dampers!
Please use furniture protectors when placing items on top. To clean your cabinet, use a soft cloth, warm water, and the tiniest amount of dish soap. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. It will ruin the surface.
The trash bins will hold a 13-gallon kitchen trash bag. We currently offer trash as an add on item or you can grab your own. The cans were offer measure: 11 in. W x 15.25 in. D x 19.875 in. H. It holds 41 quarts or 10.25 gallons. Our trash cabinets do not include a trash can. You can purchase one from us or purchase your own preferred brand once the cabinet arrives home.
Laundry hampers will come with removable laundry bags…again, nice! The laundry bag dimensions are 15 ½"W x 9 ½" D x 23 ¼" H.
4. Do you have items in stock and ready to ship?
Your new cabinet will be made to order in your color choice with your handle selection and with your door center. Since each item is made fresh, we don't have items in stock for immediate delivery. The items you see in our pictures were sold. You can count on your item to look nearly identical to the listing. Of course, if your item is stained, wood grain will vary.
Your trash cabinet or laundry hamper will take several weeks to receive. Seems like forever, but it's worth the wait. Please keep in mind we are a very small, less than 6 person company and while we work diligently to keep our turn around time under 5 weeks, it is extremely possible to run late. If you have questions, feel free to ask. Also, we greatly appreciate your patience!
Tables and most home items, including stove covers are also made to order. Expect to wait for them to be crafted just for you.
5. Do you have sales or promo codes?
We like to keep our orders at a manageable level. We are a small company of 6 employees. On occasion, we will have a sale if we feel like we can fulfill orders in a timely manner. Additional discount codes are not valid during sales.
Sale price matching is not available during black Friday-cyber Monday sales.
Sale prices (outside of bfcm) can be price-matched for 3 days after the purchase. If it is after 3 days, no matching will be made.
6. California customers:
Because we use paint and stain, here is your Prop 65 warning:
WARNING: This product can expose you to chemicals including arsenic, which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.
Materials and colors of hampers and trash cabinets:
*orders placed after 01/01/2023
1. What are the cabinets, hampers, and benches made from?
*Our painted cabinets/hampers, some stove covers, and pet products are made with a thermally fused laminate, which is FSC-certified, Rainforest Alliance-certified, and Anti-Microbial. Prior to orders placed 01-01-2024, items not stained are painted.
Our small pieces, such as some internal components of the item may be made of engineered wood from Glacier Green, a certified green product.
Our stained items are Baltic Birch. We look for the best wood we can find to build your item. Our wood is certified from The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC) a non-profit organization committed to encouraging the responsible management of the world's forests. You can shop with us knowing the materials we use are sourced responsibly.
A little more about the look and feel:
Stained items are made from Baltic birch please expect occurrences from nature, including texture. This will have texture. There is no edge banding on wood furniture. Please look carefully at our pictures. Utilize the zoom function on your device. We work hard to ensure our pictures are accurate as well as our descriptions. The most distinctive feature of Baltic birch is that the edges are attractive, uniform stripes of hardwood veneer, usually alternating light and dark bands
Our solid color cabinets are thermally fused laminate. Not only is this environmentally responsible but cleanable! No need to worry about damage from cleaning it. This is the same material used for many kitchen cabinets and closets.
- Thermally fused finished panels may be easily cleaned using a mild, non-abrasive, all-purpose cleaner and a soft cloth. Coffee, tea, or other difficult stains may be removed using a mild household detergent or a paste of baking soda and water (note: 10-20 strokes should remove most stains, excessive force or scrubbing may damage the surface)
- Harsh chemicals or abrasive materials should not be used. Should the surface come in contact with a drain, toilet, or oven cleaner immediately remove the chemical, rinse thoroughly, and wipe dry. Abrasives such as scouring pads or gritty cleansers may permanently dull and/or scratch the surface and result in future staining.
- Protect the surface from hot or sharp objects. Do not place hot cookware, dishes, or objects on the surface. Knives and other sharp objects used directly on the surface can also be damaging. Protect surfaces from heat with an insulating pad or trivet, and from sharp objects with a chopping block or counter protector
When the item is painted, we use washable, cabinet paint in a semi-gloss finish paint on our cabinets and hampers. Our tables are finished in an eggshell. To clean your cabinet, use a soft cloth, warm water, and the tiniest amount of mild dish soap. Do not use abrasive materials or harsh chemicals. It will ruin the surface. Our favorite cleaner? Behr cleaning wipes! Also, we advise using felt pads under decor to protect your finish.
Caring for Butcher Block from the Southern Living magazine:
1. How To Clean And Sanitize
Cutting directly on the surface is convenient, but it will leave stains. Lightly scrape off any stuck-on residue with a spatula, and then use a damp cloth to wipe the surface clean with mild dish soap and water. Next, it's time to sanitize. Combine equal parts water and equal parts white vinegar in a spray bottle; spray it over the surface and wipe it down with another damp cloth. Cleaning and sanitizing the surface should be done daily.
2. How To Condition
Over time, butcher-block countertops can lose their luster and look dull and dry. Give them a refresh with food-safe mineral oil or butcher-block conditioner (available at home improvement stores). Don't use a food oil, like olive or vegetable oil, which will oxidize on the surface and start to smell. Start with a clean countertop, and then pour on the mineral oil, spreading it over the surface with a cloth. Let it sink in and dry for an hour. Then apply another coat. Condition butcher-block countertops every few months to restore their natural sheen.
3. How To Minimize Nicks And Scratches
Butcher-block countertops are basically built-in cutting boards. You can chop fruits and vegetables directly on the surface. (For sanitary reasons, slicing meat, poultry, or fish should probably be done on a cutting board.) Inevitably, knives will cut nicks and scratches into the surface. Remedy the wear and tear by lightly sanding over the blemish. Then clean the area and apply mineral oil to buff the restored area.
4. How To Repair A Crack
If there's a large crack in your butcher-block countertops, call a professional. If it's a small hairline fracture, you can repair it yourself. Apply a food-safe wood glue over the crack, and let it dry. Sand down the excess dried glue, and then clean and condition.
5. How To Avoid Mold And Rot
Butcher block is a porous surface. Protect against mold and rot by wiping up puddles of water as soon as you notice them. Wood also expands and contracts when it gets wet, so if avoidable, pass on surrounding your kitchen sink with butcher block. If you do, make sure the edges are thoroughly sealed.
Our drawers are full extension drawers!
*colors names/brands subject to change without notice.
Below are paint colors that are no longer available. If you ordered a cabinet before 1-31-24 and need touch-up, this is the paint color.

Stained bins will have a layer of clear protector applied. Swirls and grain are present. Edges are not banded on stained wood. Please utilize the zoom feature to see details.
Keep in mind when looking at the stain colors, we use Baltic birch plywood. Each wood species will react to stain in a different way. This is important if you are trying to match cabinets.
Again, we mention, a stained cabinet will have swirls and color variation along with wood grain and texture. If this is not something you prefer, consider our painted items. We sand our items and work to ensure they are smooth. However, some of the swirls and lines are caused by nature, and some by the manufacturer. See the example below.
The colors listed above are the colors we stock. There is no charge for ordering the above colors. They are interchangeable.
The trash can inside may vary in color depending on availability. Handle styles may vary slightly depending on availability.
2. I would like to use my own hardware.
Our cabinets are built with center to enter holes that measure 3 inches. This seems to be the most common dimension. We also offer several different handles. You are welcomed to switch your handles out once the cabinet arrives to you home. No alteration to the drill holes can be made. All cabinet will be drilled at 3 inches. We apologize for the inconvenience.
3. Replacement Parts:
Contact us if you have any issues within one year of your purchase date. We will gladly help you with replacement parts free of charge.
If your purchase date exceeds one year, we will ask that you pick up the shipping cost of the part but we will replace the part free of charge.
Hardware will be replaced one time free of charge. If you find that you need a repeat of the same piece or it is beyond one year, we will provide a replacement but ask that you pay the shipping charge for the item.
4. Drawers:
When you purchase a cabinet or hamper with a drawer, the drawer slides are full extension slides. Below find the measurements for the inside drawer dimensions:
13.75" side to side - 10" front to back - 4.75" height
22" side to side - 13 3/8" front to back - 4 3/4" height
31 1/4 " side to side - 9 3/4" front to back - 4 3/4" height
48 3/4 - side to side - 9 7/8" front to back - 4 3/4" height
34.3/4" side to side -13 1/2" front to back- 4 3/4" height
Our coffee table tops are made of Baltic Birch. These are not individual slats.
Please feel free to zoom in on the tables in the listings. Here are the stains we offer for both cabinets and coffee table tops:
The coffee table legs are painted soft ivory eggshell paint finish and lightly distressed. They are made of solid knotty pine.
Coffee tables arrived FedEx freight and entry tables and end tables are shipped ground. Coffee tables and end tables are assembled. Entry tables are not and will require some assembly.
All tables are made just for you. Expect a wait time of at least 3 weeks. However, the current lead time can vary so please contact us if this is an issue for you.
Our default leg color is soft ivory. We do offer a soft white (by request). This white is not bright white like paper but much lighter than the soft ivory. Please see the picture below for comparison. The distressed table leg is soft ivory and the leg with no distressing is soft white.
Changes, damage, cancellations and returns
1. Can I change the dimensions?
We have several different bin dimensions in our shop and do not offer dimension changes.
Please measure your space before ordering. Some of our bins are counter height and others are not. We do our best to keep the site up to date. Please contact us if the listed dimension accuracy is crucial. We will be able to verify the size. We try to keep the website updated but we are human and listings can be missed.
2. What if I want to make a change after the order is placed?
Unfortunately, once your order is placed your choices are processed. For this reason, no changes can be made once you hit the SUBMIT button. Also know we are ALWAYS just an email away. Message us with any questions prior to ordering.
As a side note, we do offer additional panels for purchase if you chose the wrong one during the ordering process. Also, it is nice to have more than one panel! You can switch up your style whenever you want!
3. Can I return an item?
Returns are a hassle for everyone. Since these are custom made, and expensive to ship, we strongly encourage you to read our listing and our FAQ page prior to purchasing. We work hard to provide answers to many questions. Familiarize yourself with our return policy prior to purchasing. We are not a big box store and returns may not be what you are accustomed to if you shop box stores.
Please see our terms and conditions prior to buying from us:
Your item is being made just for you. These are not pre-made. It is extremely important that you measure your space. Keep in mind color can vary from monitor to monitor so if you need color samples, just use our link to order the colors you need.
4. What happens if my item arrives with shipping damage?
We really hate shipping damage. We use a ton of packing material to get your item from our shop to your home damage free. We want the moment you open your box to be a gloriously happy moment. FedEx and UPS take very good care of our packages, but things still happen beyond our control. It is imperative that you open your package right away and contact us within 3 days of delivery for assistance. If contact isn't made within this time, we are unable to help.
Although the damage is not common, like everything else, it can happen. If it happens to you, relax and know we will help you! Send us pictures of the damaged item and the damaged box. Most items can be repaired easily with help from us. This might include sending touch up paint or sending a replacement part. Almost any piece on the cabinet is able to be replaced by us and installed with minimal effort from the customer.
5. What is assembly like?
We provide a Youtube link with a voice guided assembly. Feel free to pause and rewind as necessary. Your video link is included with your package. No special tools are needed other than a handheld drill on a low setting or an interchangeable head screwdriver.
If you need any assistance during the assembly process, email us. We check our email very often, even on the weekend. We will likely ask for pictures of what is causing issues and can offer solutions, guidance or tips.
The majority of our customers are able to very easily assemble their items. However, if you opt to hire help to assemble your cabinet we will not, under any circumstances reimburse the cost of your assembly choice. If the cabinet is altered by drilling additional holes, adding brackets, feet, levelers without our permission, we will not repair, replace or refund any part of the item. Contact us first for help. Once we establish the issue, we will provide the needed parts or guidance. We are always here to help and cannot state enough to let us help you. Sample assembly videos are available upon request.
6. Can I get money back in lieu of parts?
We do not provide discounts or monetary compensation, please don't ask us, it is very awkward for us..... but we will happily provide repair pieces to get your purchase up and running as quickly as possible.
I need help with feeders and food storage:
1. How do I measure my pet for an elevated dog feeder?
Determine the correct position for your dog's food bowl by measuring your standing dog from the floor under the front paws to the top of the shoulders and then subtract about 5-6 inches.
Side note... if your dog is like ours and drinks water like they are bobbing for apples, please clean up any splashed water. This is a wood products and although the feeder itself is painted with several coats of premium paint, it can still be damaged. Feeders are made of the same material as our cabinets Glacier Green and/or Baltic birch . The stained feeders (or stained tops) will come with a clear poly coat on top of the wood. If you feel you need more once it arrives to you home, feel free to add it.
2. What are the hole sizes in your elevated feeders? Can I use my own bowl?
Our elevated feeders have a hole size of 7 5/16 for the 2-quart bowls and 9 inches for the 3 quarts. Two bowl feeders come with 2-quart bowls. The 2-quart bowls hold 4 cups of dry food. Three bowl feeders come with two 2-quart bowls and one 3-quart bowl in the center for water.
You are welcomed to switch out your bowls once they arrive at your home. Just use the measurements provided to ensure they will fit. We are not able to change the hole size.
3. How high should the bowls be for cats?
When it comes to raised feeders, cats are a little different. They would rather eat crouched than standing up. According to the experts at Animal Wellness Magazine, "The ideal height for a raised feeder is the cat's knee height (approximately 4" to 6"); this eliminates the need to lift up the head while eating or drinking."
We offer matching food storage.

Bach Original Flower Remedies - Rescue Remedy Drops
Bach Original Flower Remedies Rescue Remedy helps produce positive, calming, stabilizing effects in a wide range of stressful situations. In the early 1930s the noted British physician Dr. Edward Bach discovered that patient stress, if left unresolved, inevitably leads to physical disorder. Determined to avoid the use of harmful medications, Bach searched for and found a safe, gently, and effective way to relieve stress.
About Bach Flower Remedies
Dr Edward Bach was a Physician and Homeopath who spent his life searching for the purest methods of healing. Dr Bach discovered 38 remedies which he split into seven different groups and can be combined to suit the individual. The flower remedies are made from wild plants, trees and bushes. They work by treating the individual rather than the disease or its symptoms and are a gentle way to manage your emotions and rediscover the positive side of ourselves.
Each of the 38 Bach™ Original Flower Remedies is unique and helps to treat a different emotion. Most people find it reasonably easy to select their own remedies. All you need to do is find the remedy (or remedies) that seems to reflect your situation, mood or personality the best. You can mix up to seven together at a time. All the states described are everyday human emotions that we all feel from time to time. Even the most negative state has a corresponding positive quality that shows us what we can be when we are fully ourselves.
Who Can Take Bach Flower Remedies?
Everyone. Being yourself means being relaxed, fulfilled and natural. When we feel ourselves we are at our best. We can cope with everything that life throws at us.But sometimes… well sometimes we aren't quite ourselves. We feel out of sort, as if something isn't right. And sometimes we need a little help to get back on track. You can use the Bach™ Original Flower Remedies to overcome everyday bad feelings. You can use them when you are ill, because most doctors agree that good emotional health supports and aids the recovery of physical health. You can use them to move on in your life and to find hidden strengths and potentials. Above all, you can use them to be yourself.Bach™ Original Flower Remedies are suitable for the whole family. Bach™ Original Flower Remedies helps us to manage the ups and downs of everyday life. For clinical, emotional problems you should always seek professional help.
Did you know?
Every single bottle of Bach Original Flower Remedies around the world originates from the UK, so you can be assured that it has been made according to Dr Bach's guidelines. Just look for the Bach signature.
Why is there alcohol in Bach Original Flower Remedies?
Dr Bach used alcohol in his preparations, usually brandy, for its preservative properties. It is there to guard against microbial contamination which could otherwise grow in the water-based remedies. The alcohol is not an active ingredient. In the early days when chemists were supplied with mother tinctures to prepare the stock remedies, they used either rectified spirit or pure alcohol. Nora Weeks explained: 'In preparing the stock bottles, including the Rescue Remedy, at Mount Vernon, we use brandy instead of rectified spirit added by the chemists. The brandy, like the rectified spirit, is used only as a preservative and makes no difference whatever to the strength or efficiency of the remedy.'
How quickly will the remedies start to make a difference?
For some people it can be immediately, for others it might take a little longer depending on the issues being treated. Each case is unique.
Can the remedies only be added to water?
You can add the remedies to tea, coffee, fizzy drinks etc. They differ to homeopathic remedies in this respect. Hot drinks will cause the alcohol to evaporate but the flower essence will remain in the drink.
Are there any side effects from using the remedies?
Whilst the Bach Flower remedies are considered to be free from side effects, if you notice anything different when using the remedies or experience any additional symptoms please stop taking the remedies and speak to either your doctor or a Registered Bach Flower Practitioner.
Do the remedies work faster if I don't dilute them?
There is no difference in potency or speed of effect between taking the four drops from a treatment bottle and taking neat stock remedy. The brandy in the stock bottle will, however, taste stronger and this psychologically may give the impression that the essences are stronger. This isn't the case.
Can I take Bach Original Flower Remedies with other medicine?
As always, if you are taking prescribed medication it is advisable for you to speak with your doctor before using the Bach Flower Remedies (or other forms of self purchased treatments) and and follow the advice given.
How many remedies can I use at once?
No more than seven should be used. You may feel as if you need more than this, but you should try to pinpoint six or seven at the most. Try to pinpoint how you are feeling at the moment, then match the exact mood you're in with the appropriate remedy. Any past emotions can be treated once you have dealt with the present ones.
Take 4 drops in a small glass of water. Sip at frequent intervals. If necessary, 4 drops on the tongue instead. If symptoms persist, seek appropriate medical attention.
