Wow incredibly well written and informative article. It's like the writer reads this board and puts everyone's questions into that article. This should be a sticky. I love the part where it says owners bend reality like their dog "protecting" them from a stranger wearing a weird hat. You see that type of excuse ALL THE TIME. Also agree you can definitely tell what kind of dog you have at 8 weeks old. |

This looks like a great resource. I just emailed to myself so I can read in depth later. Thanks! |

Very interesting . LOVE the article. I like this part "Yes, it's true. Temperament is a function of genetics. It is inherited, not developed. A dog's core temperament never changes. Some behaviors can be modified through training, but the temperament itself never changes. For example, a high energy dervish of a dog isn't going to learn to be a laid back, low energy dog. But, the dog can be taught to control his energy, to an extent. Most dog owners absolutely refuse to believe this. If I only had a dollar for every time someone has told me "It's all in how they're raised!" ... No, it's not. It's all in how their DNA came together. A dog with foul temperament will always be a dog with foul temperament, no matter how wonderful the environment. A dog with sound, stable temperament will always be a sound stable dog, even in a lousy environment. Good early handling, training and socialization will help develop desirable traits in the dog, but those traits have to be there." How many have taken a shy and retiring pup with the idea that he will be okay , it is a matter of socializing , and then he will become self-confident and outgoing. It just doesn't work that way . A pup at 8 weeks of age pretty much shows you the dog . I have never liked the Volhard test . "Don't be rolling over and pinning other people's puppies, please." Yeah. This part always bothered me . There was a time when every potential owner , usually pet would want to do the Volhard . So what do you do let 4 or 5 people run a rough shod "test" flipping the dog and holding it ? I do NOT think so . I will show you in the dynamics of the dog , free and in motion and responsive to a situation and explain what might be going on. "has demonstrated all defense, all the time, despite the fact that he has excellent prey drive, it is not accessible to him under the stress of bitework. Watching Thunder do bitework is a lot like observing primal scream therapy. It's stressful and exhausting for him " Yeah, yet the owner thinks the dog is a super tough hard protective dog . Dogs that won't out because that is the safety zone , misinterpreted for high drive . What drive though. |

I was there this weekend, and was very interested in its sheds. It appears for the same size and quality, its sheds are slightly cheaper than Home Depot's and Lowe's. About the similar price as ones from Costco.
Anyone ordered sheds from them? The sheds will be made by factory or its place, then shipped to the house. The ony thing I'll need to do is to prepare the foundation. Bed of gravel or stone is recommended, as opposed to the concrete floor. |

My father has a chinese evergreen and one of the longest stems is more than 2 feet long, unfortunately the part that is just above the soil has died so eventually the upper portion will die from lack of water and nutrients. Anyway the last foot of it is alive as far as i can tell and was wondering if i could cut the still living portion off and then somehow root it? Anyone who knows how to do this effectively please help...theres a good chance that its already dead though. Thanks |

If the top part is "soft" then give up...I not then take a tip cutting 4-6 inches long. allow to airdry (1-3 hours) then apply 0.1% IBA (rooting hormone) stick in well drained soil & mist & keep soil damp not wet. |

In hopes to help others on their weight loss journey, I have volunteered to make public my own weight loss journey. I have reached the end of my pregnancy and the beginning of another chapter.
During my pregnancy my weight skyrocketed from 136 to 190 at time of delivery. The day I returned from the hospital I weighed 181lbs (Wednesday Feb 6th). While everyone wishes to lose a lot on delivery day….you really only lose the amount of the baby, blood and accessories. So, I need to lose 45 lbs.
Although I am not sure what my measurements were before pregnancy, here are my current (post baby) measurements for tracking purposes.
Chest: N/A
(I am breastfeeding so this one will not be reflective of my actual chest measurements. I normally have small boobs.)
Waist: 40.5
Hips: 43.5
Thigh Largest: 23.75
Thigh smallest: 18.5
Calf biggest: 14.5
Arm biggest: 11
Thursday February 7th (2 days post baby)
Stay tuned for exercise, nutrition, and stat updates

The drama society at an independent school in east Suffolk is aiming to showcase the full breadth of its acting talents by incorporating three varied productions into one performance.
More that 50 students at Framlingham College will be taking part in this year's festival programme to produce a physical theatre piece based on Lord of the Flies, a pared down version of The Crucible and an "all-out blast" featuring highlights from Grease.
The triple bill performance, which is a first for the society, also features three different sets and a live band.
Eight of the society's members will also be performing at the Edinburgh Fringe this summer.
Co-directors Hugh Edwards and Dorothy Englert are making their second outing to the festival with a 60 minute Hamlet performance at the Space in North Bridge from August 11 to 16.
The production will also be showing at The New Cut in Halesworth on August 7 from 7.30pm.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Colby!
Facts about Colby
- Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua Mix
- Color: Tricolor (Tan/Brown & Black & White)
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Male
Colby's Info...
I am up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
This little boy and his 2 brothers are ready to go to their forever home. At 7 weeks old he is happy, playful and weighs about 6.5 lbs. He's had his first set of shots and been dewormed.
If you are interested in adding this precious pup to your family, please go to: www.heavencanwaitanimalrescue.com and complete an application today.
Adoption Fee: $250.00 includes the following: initial vet exam, rabies vaccination, 2 rounds of Distemper/Parvo vaccination (based on age when adopted), de-worming, spay/neuter refund of $55.00 when puppy is of age and you provide proof of spay/neuter.
Thanks for considering adoption!
Other Pets at Heaven Can Wait Animal Rescue
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Colby, a Russellville Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua for sale in Russellville, or seeking a Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua puppy from a breeder in Russellville.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Russellville already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Russellville breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua breeders who help with Jack Russell Terrier/Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Russellville paves the way for another one to be saved.

President Barack Obama has chosen a Pentecostal pastor to head the Office of Faith-Based Initiatives, according to The New York Times. Obama has not yet made an official announcement.
Joshua DuBois, an associate pastor at Calvary Praise and Worship Center, worked for Obama as political strategist in religious affairs during the President's tenure in the Senate and transition to the presidency. DuBois was instrumental in reaching out to religious leaders across the faith spectrum - particularly Evangelicals.
The 26-year old received his master's degree from the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affair at Princeton University.
University of Pennsylvania Prof. John J. Dilulio, who was the first person to head up the office, praised Dubois for his steadiness.
"I've been very impressed with this young man," Dilulio told the Times. "He is smart. He is calm. He is steady and I think he's very close to the new President. He'd be a good guy to do it."
Obama has endeavored to expand the program's scope, created by former President George W. Bush. He started the changes by renaming the office: The President's Council for Faith-Based and Neighborhood Partnerships.
The goal is to guide federal funds toward religious charities and to get them involved in government anti-poverty work.
And while Bush allowed religious groups latitude in making employment decisions based upon faith, Obama has different ideas.
The new President has floated the idea of permitting faith groups to make such decisions only in the non-taxpayer-funded areas of their activities.

2014 Toyota Highlander gets a much-needed update in NYC
NEW YORK--Toyota's soccer-mom-mobile gets an infusion of cabin tech, modernized safety features, and an updated sense of style with the debut of the 2014 Toyota Highlander midsize SUV at the New York International Auto Show.
With the previous generation pushing seven years old, the Highlander was very much in need of an update. Also, the SUV still seats up to eight passengers across its three rows or seven passengers when equipped with the optional second-row captain's chairs. Both configurations benefit from increased interior volume for passengers and cargo thanks to a new, double-wishbone rear suspension that removes the … Read more

Dr. Richardson
http://www.timwoolleyracing.com/gallery/images/barbaro-1951-thumb.jpg http://www.timwoolleyracing.com/gallery/images/DSCF2080-thumb.jpg
Barbaro's primary veterinarian, Dr. Dean Richardson is among the world's leading equine orthopedic surgeons and has been at New Bolton Center since 1979 where he is currently Chief of Surgery and the Charles W. Raker Professor of Equine Surgery.
The day following Barbaro's injury, Dr. Richardson performed a complicated 5-hour surgery installing a titanium plate with 27 screws to provide support to the lower hind leg, which had fractured into over 20 pieces and was likened to a "bag of crushed ice". The surgery was a success, along with 2 dozen other surgeries that followed, including a radical hoof wall resection, performed after Barbaro had developed a severe case of Laminitis.
Throughout his recovery,Dr. Richardson warned of complications that could ultimately lead to the horses downfall. "Bad things happen quickly. Good things take time". This turned out to be a portent when a series of events rapidly unraveled Barbaro's slow, steady progress up to that point. Sadly, as Dr. Richardson's colleagues noted, the fracture had healed. It almost happened.
A graduate of Dartmouth college with a doctorate in Veterinary medicine from Ohio State, Dr. Richardson is a self-professed "pointy headed academician". However his dedication and grief over his champion thoroughbred patient were palpable in media interviews, which he handled with grace and grit throughout Barbaro's 8 month ordeal.
Dr. Richardson was on hand to accept a 2006 Special Eclipse Award for New Bolton Center as well as Pimlico's 2007 Special Award of Merit for his positive contributions to the racing industry. He was honored by the Jacksons who gifted a $3 million endowment to New Bolton Center, creating a chair position in his name.
Dr. Richardson is an equestrian who owns three horses. He and his wife, Laura, also a veterinarian, have one son, currently a senior at Penn.

Megadeth – TH1RT3EN
Lucky Number 13
Since the day he left Metallica, Dave Mustaine has vowed to do one thing, and that's to rock harder and louder than anybody else. While Metallica may have slowed their pace, Mustaine and his band Megadeth haven't given up just yet. Their thirteenth studio album, appropriately titled TH1RT3EN, showcases a band that hasn't lost a step in 30 years, and shows no sign of stopping.
Opener "Sudden Death" is a classic piece of Megadeth's own brand of melodic thrash, anchored by the return of bassist Dave Ellefson and Mustaine's unique nasal growl. "Public Enemy #1" is laced with pop sensibilities, featuring an upbeat gallop and a supremely catchy chorus. On "Guns, Drugs & Money," the band returns to the machine-gun riffing of yesteryear, and keeps the pace going on "Never Dead", allowing drummer Shawn Drover to shine.
"Wrecker" is a classic 'driving down the highway with the top down' song, complete with lyrics about an evil woman, while "Millennium Of The Blind" is ominous, sludgy, and epic. The record closes with "13," an acoustic-driven rocker than tells the story of Mustaine, his life, and Megadeth itself.
TH1RT3EN is a solid record from Megadeth, and fans of the band will want to pick it up. Newcomers looking for a good starting point for the band may want to give this a spin as well, as the high-quality songwriting makes for a very comfortable listen. Put simply, Megadeth still knows how to make a great record, and if you haven't heard TH1RT3EN yet, you need to get your ass in gear.

Thanks to all who contribute to this forum, the information here is invaluable.
We moved into the house last month and are building our first pool. We have three small children and if anyone has input on the mesh fences I would love to hear it. Please feel free to comment on any aspects of the pool, I welcome any ideas. The specs are: Freeform
They are suppposed to dig today, but no one here yet :( Here is the builder's drawing: [IMG]http://i833.photobucket.com/albums/zz251/lemonspinner/King_Mary_Ellen7_001.jpg[/IMG] The slide will not be there. Here is where it is going:

He said that the whisperflo is a better option with the infloor cleaning system. They are finishing the dig today, plumbing and steel tomorrow and gunite on Sauturday! They're going to put a third light in the pool as well. |
That's a huge pool! Funny, I was staring out the window wishing I could drive the bobcat too. |
- Posted by king_michelob (My Page) on Fri, Jun 18, 10 at 14:13
In no situation is a whisperflo better than an intelliflo. They both have the same (or EXTREMLY similar) impeller. Cheaper, yes - but I suspect your PB simply doesn't want to have to calibrate the more intelligent intelliflo and teach you how to use it. I recently replaced my (shot) whisperflo with an Intelliflo and I could not recommend it more highly. Lovely home by the way! Where exactly in Richmond is that? (I live in New Territory) |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Sat, Jun 19, 10 at 16:31
Thanks King Michelob. We are near Katy. If you want to stop by and see it send me an email. I have discussed it with my builder and he is open to changing it to the Intelliflo. Which version would be better in my situation? |

That hot tub is going to rock. If you don't mind me asking, who is the builder? |
The original post asked about mesh fences. We had babyguard install ours and it seems to work quite well. Two things to mention: 2. Make sure they understand where you want the fence placed: any specific code requirements the community requires (ex: my town requires a 36" setback from the water while the county requires only 20"); Any specific places you want entry areas placed (they make double holes so a section can be rolled back and pole temporarily placed); any angles you want the fence line to make for aesthetics (requires more poles), etc. |
- Posted by womanowned (My Page) on Sun, Jun 20, 10 at 10:59
You have one pump for all of this? I would definitely switch to the Intelliflo VS3050 - 4 speed variable (3 HP) pump. If you are getting the Caretaker infloor cleaning system, I bet the Caretaker designers recommended a separate pump to operate it. You should ask your PB for a copy of the design and specifications. Your electricity bills will be out of sight with just the one Whisperflo 2 HP. It is an energy efficient pump, but you are asking it to carry quite a load. |
- Posted by huskyridor (My Page) on Sun, Jun 20, 10 at 18:15
I'm really quite shocked that your builder only spec'd in a single pump for your pool. I completely agree with womanowned, IMO you should get a 4x160 multispeed pump. You can assign specific rpm's to your different items. Congrats on the new pool, it going to be AWESOME. See ya, |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Sun, Jun 20, 10 at 21:06
Thanks so much for the information. It's possible I may have misunderstood how many pumps there will be- I was more focused on the design than the mechanics. I'll definitely talk to him about switching to the Intelliflo VS and look into whether a second pump is recommended for the Caretaker. |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Mon, Jun 21, 10 at 15:07
OK, I talked with the builder. He has a 2 HP for the main circulation, a 2 HP for the waterfall and a 1 HP for the bubblers. We are going to switch to the intelliflow VS. So now my question is, if I use the intelliflow VS how many pumps do I need and should they all be the intelliflow VS or should some remain the whisperflo? |

Good luck with your pool. You have a beautiful home and lot. Look forward to your updates. |
Awesome house and your pool is going to be beautiful. Can't wait to see your updates! |
lemonspinner...fabulous pool. I like the large yard, trees and pool...it is going to look great when finished. Regarding pumps, I'd keep the 2HP for the waterfall, bump the 1HP for the bubblers down to a .75 HP pump and recommend a 2 speed or variable speed for the main circulation pump. Both will do the job and drastically lower your energy bill at the lower speeds. You may want to even price two 2 speed pumps for your pool...one for the waterfall and one for the circulation pump. You could use two variable speed pumps also depending on your budget. We have a similar setup...two 2 speed pumps. The waterfall 2 speed allows a roaring waterfall or a trickling waterfall depending on desired mood. The 2 speed operates our infloor at low speed most of the time and runs daily at high speed for about 2 hours to clean the pool floor. We also have 3 bubblers, 3 deck jets and 2 aerators all on a .75 HP pump and this is plenty of power for these water features. Also, we have a 3HP pump for our slide which requires 160 gpm for sliding action! Hope this helps. |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Thu, Jun 24, 10 at 22:03
Thanks for all of the kind words everyone. Travis Turner, the builder is Gulf Coast Pool Company. Trhought, I'll look into getting a 2 speed for the waterfall. They dug the trenches and should be putting the long plumbing in any day now. |
Have you decided on your River Rok finish? It was a very difficult decision for us, because here in south NJ there are not a lot of pebble pools, especially River Rok. And, there were limited pics on the internet. In the end, we went with Granite and love it! It is the perfect color for us, and it feels great on your feet. |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Sun, Jun 27, 10 at 11:48
I am struggling right now with the decision on the finish. I went to a friend's house and didn't like the feel of the pebble on her sun shelf- it wasn't comfortable to sit on. So now I am thinking of maybe doing diamondbrite or durazzo in a sandy color for the sun shelf and swim out shelf, and doing a medium blue pebble in the main swimming area for the look. I am also thinking of tiling the seat on the spa for the same reason. Does anyone have any other ideas or input on this? |
We are going with Pebble-Fina for our finish simply because we don't like the pebble feel. It looks beautiful but it keeps the bactine and band-aids flowing. This is our second pool and the first was plaster but all the neighbors had Pebble-Tec. In the end I was glad we went with plaster since all neighborhood parties ended up in our backyard and I didn't have to buy stock in Johnson & Johnson. Although I'm not sure that is always a good thing. We did look into Hydrazzo and Durazzo both of which are polished marble. Hydrazzo seemed to have more colors to choose from in the pallet we were looking for and may have been a better choice for us in the end. Oh well we are pretty tired of making choices at this point and Fina it is! |
Gulfcoast did a good job on ours. I actually need to get them back out to look at some minor diamond brite issues. They have always been responsive. Love the Intelliflo Pump. It returns the cost in a short time due to lower electric bills. |
- Posted by king_michelob (My Page) on Wed, Jun 30, 10 at 15:44
I have the Intelliflo VF, not the VS, though the VS is a little bit cheaper I wanted the greater control of the VF (3,051 different speeds, not just 4 - I'm a pump engineer so that appealed to me) But both are really good. First benefit is of course power savings - the intelliflos are more effient than the standard motors even at the same flow conditions (there are videos on YouTube showing this - do a quick search) But what I like best is that I can turn it down to 2 turns / day and run 24 hours straight for less energy than I was using before for 5 hours. This gives me 24 hours of skimmer operation which really helps prevent leaves and other debris from water logging and sinking to the bottom, and also keeps the water from stagnating which promotes algae growth. Also when the pump's running at low speed it's almost silent - I have to walk over there to make sure it's on! (Also I'm no fan of the standard open drip-proof style motors - stupid for outdoor use if you ask me. Especially after my old pump motor siezed up this winter. The intelliflow uses TEFC [Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled] motors which are far superior) My pool looks to be about the same size as yours (maybe a touch smaller) and I have a single pump for hot tub, pool circ, and waterfall, but I would say if you have seperate pumps that are on/off like for waterfall, a single speed pump should do fine. Not sure why you'd need 2 HP for a waterfall pump since there's no head drop on the line, but I doubt it costs much more than a smaller one so it's a minor point. But I've had no problem with 1 pump, and it should be noted the Intelliflow is 3.5 HP I believe when fully cranked up, trust me that thing can really kick out some impressive flow. |

Thanks all for the comments. Not much has happened in the past 2 weeks because of rain :( The trenches are dug, once the rain stops they need to drain the trenches and long plumb. Tile and coping and rock waterfall will be next (if I can decide on a tile)! |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Mon, Jul 26, 10 at 11:40
After many rain delays, we have the tile and coping on and they're working on the waterfall. And this is the stone I'd like to put around the spa and on the raised wall: |

beautiful pool!! curious if you have any updated photos. i'm anxious to see what type of coping you went with around your hot tub. love your travertine coping around the pool. we are going with a similiar travertine and my pool builder is saying they can cut the travertine like yours for the pool coping (ours is also free form pool w/ circular hot tub) but coping must be 4x12's (brick like) for the hot tub. thx! |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Thu, Jul 29, 10 at 19:26
poolnovicefl- We are going to do the travertine coping around the spa as well. |

Wow, your pool is gorgeous! We are using Gulf Coast Pools also and plan to look at coping/stone today. Your travertine turned out so nice! I'm leaning toward a darker travertine unless it looks too gray. Is yours tumbled? Any new spa pics? |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Tue, Aug 17, 10 at 16:16
Cakelady 2010- Thanks, yes, we used the lighter travertine but now I wish we had gone with the darker noce. We did decide to use the noce for the decking however, so there will be a slight contrast between the coping and decking. They are still doing the prep work for the decking but I will post a spa pic when I get a chance. |

Looks beautiful! Did you go with River Rok? |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Fri, Aug 20, 10 at 14:35
Hawkfive- Thanks! We went with Durazzo Sandy Beach on the shallow and deep end sun shelfs and spa (we wanted something smooth because the kids will be sitting on them) and we did River Rok Harbor Gray on the rest. The pool is filling with water now and they are laying the travertine pavers, I'll post more pics soon. |
lemonspinner....Congratulations.....you'll be swimming tomorrow. Turned out fabulous. We filled out pool 3 years ago to the day and remember vividly the excitement of being able to swim finally....the kids could not contain themselves and had smiles permanently on their faces for days! The memories in your backyard are just beginning! Enjoy! |

OK, I looked into into it more and I think it's a broad band water snake (non-venomous). |
- Posted by megankheaps (My Page) on Sun, Aug 22, 10 at 15:30
Beautiful home and pool design. OMG that snake would scare me to death. I live in MD where we do have copperheads (venomous) so that is just one of the many reasons I will NOT have a dark fininsh. I hope you don't see any more of those. Enjoy your new pool and please keep the pics coming. |
Awesome pool! Any pics with water? Trying to decide on River Rok Colors and would love to see how the water looks when full! Thanks! |
Beautiful!! Love the tile and stone selections!! So pretty. Can't wait to see it filled up! |

Where did you or your builder get the travertine pavers for your deck? And who installed them? Very pretty. |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Wed, Sep 15, 10 at 19:18
Thanks nosabe, the builder did the decking through their sub Landcomp Pavers. I'm not sure where they got the travertine from but I know they used Alamo Stone for the spa stone, they may have gotten the travertine there as well. |
- Posted by classicalone (My Page) on Thu, Sep 16, 10 at 8:55
I love your pool, and especially your decking. Did you take any pictures of the decking before the travertine went in? I'd love to see them if you have any. |
- Posted by lemonspinner (My Page) on Thu, Sep 16, 10 at 14:06
The travertine was sand set, I don't have a picutre of the prep before the pavers were laid. However, we do have Woodridge quartzite already on the summer kitchen and veranda. I really didn't like the Woodridge (too orange for my taste) and so I didn't want to continue it around the pool. So we transitioned between the Woodridge and the travertine by having travertine on the step tops and Woodridge on the risers. Here is a photo, nothing has been washed yet so the decking is still very dirty: |
- Posted by friendswoodnewbie (My Page) on Sun, Oct 10, 10 at 17:31
Beautiful pool and great pictures. We are looking at getting a similar coping. Did you seal the travertine? |

Here is a link that might be useful: LandComp Pavers
Beautiful backyard lemonspinner! I was curious as to how your pavers were holding up? I am considering using Landcomp Pavers for a project at my home. I am sure you have had great use of your outdoor space by now. :) |

If you have any questions or would like to find out more information about shopping online please use the links below to jump to the appropriate section.
How to Order
Finding Items
If you know exactly what you would like to buy, for example you've chosen items in one of our catalogues, the simplest way to find it is to type its name or product code into the search box (found at the top of every page of our site).
If you're looking for a particular type of item, but haven't chosen anything specific, you can search using a general name such as "clock" or "table".
Alternatively, you can make your way around the site using the various links until you find what you were looking for, or simply browse until something catches your eye. To find out more about a product, click on the image of the product or on the 'More Info' button. You'll then be taken to that product's page, which shows you image(s) of the item, more information about the item, a 'Buy' button to add the item to your Basket, and sometimes links to other related products.
Adding Items To Your Basket
When you click on 'Buy', the item is added to your Basket (on the right-hand side of the screen). This is a place to store anything you intend to buy. You can of course remove items from your Basket if you change your mind.
When you've finished shopping, click 'View Basket' (on the right-hand side of the screen). Here you will see a summary of everything in your Basket. You can change the quantity of any item by entering the new quantity and clicking on 'Update' (to remove an item, change the quantity to zero). Always remember to click 'Update' after changing a quantity. When you're ready to buy, click 'Proceed to checkout' to begin filling out the order form.
Completeing The Order Form
On the first page, fill out your name, email and address details. You only need to fill in your house number and postcode; to save you time we complete the rest of your address from these details (you have the opportunity to check and amend them on the next page).
Check the 'Remember Me' box to save you having to enter these details when you return to our site. (This service relies on a cookie being placed on your computer; if you clear your cookies, then you will have to re-enter your address details next time you order.) When you're ready, click 'Continue'.
On the second page of the checkout, check that the address details shown are correct. The 'Contact' address must be the same as the address the credit card bill is sent to. If you require the goods to be sent to an alternative delivery address, or if there is an error in the 'Contact' address, click the appropriate 'I want to change the address listed' button, fill out the form, and click submit. Click continue when you are happy with the order details shown.
The next page of the checkout is where you fill in your payment information. We accept the following credit cards:
Fill out your payment details and click 'Process Order' to complete your order.
Placing An Order
Your credit/debit card will be charged for the full value of the goods only when your order is despatched. We currently accept Visa, Mastercard, Visa Delta and Visa Electron.
Once you have placed an order we will send you an email confirming that your order has been received, but this is not a confirmation that your offer to purchase the goods has been accepted. A contract between you and Premier Edition for the sale of our products will only exist once an order has been despatched to you. A separate email will be sent to you confirming the despatch of the item(s) and therefore the charge to your credit/debit card.
Prices and availability of goods are subject to change without notice. All prices are quoted in pounds sterling and are inclusive of VAT.
The advertised delivery charge will be added to your order value.
Back to the topSTANDARD UK DELIVERY - £5.95

We do offer a 24 hour delivery service for UK addresses only, with orders of in stock items received on weekdays before 2pm guaranteed to arrive within 24 hours. This costs an additional �4.95. You will receive a tracking number via email. A signature is required, so if no-one is at the specified delivery address when delivery is attempted, a card will be posted through your door. Our express service is only available for orders placed for delivery on a weekday. Unfortunately we are not able to make express deliveries at the weekend, nor can we provide an express service to Jersey, the Channel Islands, Scottish Highlands, counties north of west lothian or Northern Ireland.
Heavy items such as furniture are marked with a 'Special Carrier' symbol, and due to their bulk there is a £12.95 delivery charge per item, this is in addition to the standard order delivery charge of £5.95. Items marked with two �Special Carrier� symbols incur an extra delivery charge of £19.95 per item in addition to the standard £5.95. Please allow up to 5 working days from date of despatch for delivery of these large items. Unfortunately our Express Delivery service is not available on these items.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Regulations
The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of charge.
The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK. Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.
We are obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us. Customers must return their like-for-like WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item. Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol and be disposed of separately from normal household waste.
We do not offer a WEEE direct take back service at point of delivery but please contact us to arrange collection of your old item after your new item has been delivered

This irritates my skin and does not improve my acne. Furthermore, it is sticky and the packaging looks and feels cheap.
This is the best BP solution I've used to date. I thought proactiv's was good, but this one is way better. Yeah the price is a bit steep (better than proactiv though), but it lasts a long time and the anti-irritants and texture make it worth it. Proactiv is still nice, I find it more moisturizing than Paula's, which for me is NOT a plus, I like to moisturize on top of it, and doing that with proactiv would make me too greasy. I like the gel liquidy texture, it smooths easy and sinks right in. The anti-irritants really do make a difference for me.
I use it as a spot treatment on my pimples.
I found it reduce redness and acne size if you apply as soon as a pimple pops out. This is quit effective in treating pimples. However, if use too frequently, will cause excessive dryness and peeling.
This is the best benzoyl peroxide lotion I have found. It works really well without irritating my skin. I use it almost daily.
I have sensitive, reactive skin. I used this product for a few years. I used it in the morning and at night. I still had acne and blackheads despite using the whole line of products. I have started to use a drop of pure tea tree oil mixed with my lotion. I have found this works better. I was tired of ruining all the pillowcases and shirts from using a benzoyl perozide product. So I was happy to find something that works better for me and not ruin clothes using it. I do have to mix the tea tree oil with something or it will cause a dermatitis reaction when used full strength.
I find this product has really helped my teenage's son acne, IF he is diligent about applying it in the morning and at night...
I'm thinking perhaps we will try the extra strength formulation next because of that...
I, however, HATE the packaging. I can't count the times that the lid has been dropped. It really needs a flip top cap (not a screw cap).
I would repurchase either this or the extra strength formulation of this product however.
I've used this product for a month and have almost finished my tube. I bought it to use with the acne.org regimen, which I adore. It worked at first, but over the past week or so I've noticed I'm breaking out again. After switching back to Neutrogena On-the-Spot (or the CVS version this time) my skin's clearing back up. I peeked at the ingredients, and I think my skin dislikes the dimethicone in the PC gel (after all, I did apply it morning and night so it was on my skin all the time). It seems odd for Paula to include such a common pore-clogger in her careful and conscientious product formulation. It was also fairly expensive and I found the texture a bit runny for my liking. Will not repurchase.
Price increase warning: Paula's Choice has significantly raised the prices of its product samples while SIGNIFICANTLY reducing their size. If you're thinking about taking these with you on a trip, then you'll pay a LOT for that luxury. It's terribly disappointing. I could see raising the prices on the same-size samples, but to then make the samples SO MUCH smaller (from 4.4 ml. to 1.77 ml., for example) is just agonizing. It's such a greedy move.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
this product is by far teh worst product. i got a huge break out around my chin and jawline.. it gave me huge red pimples that itched like crazy and till this day im still trying to cure what this product did to me... it was horrible i could not go out because i was horrified at how bad my skin looked and did not want anyone else to see me... im so dissapionted.. so mad at the same time. dont buy waste of money.. it will make u break out really badly. im been honest and truthful. beware.
This product, along with a more diligent skincare routine, has transformed my previously problematic skin. I have ultra-sensitive skin, but this water-based liquid sinks in and doesn't leave my skin irritated. I only use a very thin layer on my chin (where I previously suffered from constant breakouts), and it seems to be enough. It's light enough to wear during the day under makeup, so that's also a plus. This is definitely an HG acne-fighting product.

To our Family, Friends and Followers of the Champions Program
After an amazing and life changing three and a half weeks of teaching, the Champions were more than ready to see what lied beyond our schools yards. I have been anticipating Mojo's tour, also known as "Jo's magical tour" since week one. We were informed that Mojo's would begin at 10 am, and last to 4pm. This tour has been a secret to us Champions, and we were extremely excited to find out what was about to come our way. It is my pleasure to inform you, and take you along, as if you were a passenger seeing this with your own eyes. Buckle up, here we go!
The cars rolled in, and out came our three smiley, and matching tour guides of the day. Dr. Sheppard, Inderpreet Bring and Mitch Hardington, stepped out of their cars in matching hats and khaki shorts. In that moment, I knew that this tour was definitely going to be magical! With a quick speech of our agenda, we hopped into our cars and off we went to St. John's fire station. Here we were greeted warmly by some of the fireman and women, with handshakes and questions about us Champions. Dr. Sheppard explained that we were, "the Canadian teachers", and that we have been teaching in eight primary schools during our four week visit. They were all very appreciative, and were happy to have us drop by and visit. Before we said goodbye, Dr. Sheppard presented the fireman and women, badges, hats and t-shirts from the Abbotsford fire department. Us champions, quickly snapped a few pictures, thanked St. John's fire department, and were off to our next destination.
We found ourselves in front of the majestic national cricket stadium. Sir Isaac Vivian, "The master blaster" stadium was built in 2007 for the World Cup of cricket. Built by the Chinese, this stadium can hold around 10, 000 spectators, within it's four gigantic towers. As we entered the massive building, the stadium was constructed into two different stands; indoor, and outdoor. The blue and yellow sea of seats encompassed a large, spacious circular green field. Since Antigua is built quite compactly, seeing a building so large, tall and wide was out of the ordinary. I imagined looking out to a game, and wondered what cricket would look like, what it would feel like, and what it would sound like. Seeing such a great stadium, I could only imagine watching a cricket game, and what an amazing experience it would be. I was quickly snapped out of my day dream, and off we went again!
Our next stop was quite the bumpy journey. The Champions bounced up and down on a dirt rocky road until we arrived at, "Devil's Bridge". This was a spectacular view. The beautiful volcanic rock covered the ground while it's natural blow holes, sprayed high in the air. The dark blue Atlantic Ocean waves crashed against the cliffs. The Champions learnt that behind this beautiful view, disguised a dark and tragic history. The small and treacherous rock bridge was an area of mass suicide for the slaves. They believed that the devil was calling them; therefore, they would jump to their death, into the crashing waves, and would never return. The history of Devil's bridge is by far spooky, yet memorable and fascinating. Pictures were definitely a high commodity at this stop. The natural orangey rock erosion was breathtaking.
Now, I think it's safe to say that the cutest, and most heart-warming stop lied at the Antigua's Donkey Sanctuary. This Sanctuary offers a permanent home for donkeys at risk. These insanely cute docile animals were feasting on hay and grass as we arrived. They did not seem cognisant of our intrusion, although the Champions and I were thrilled to pet and snap pictures with our little friends. We learnt that these passive and quiet animals can carry up to twice its weight, for example a baby elephant, as they reach the age of three! How impressive! We were also informed that the Sanctuary currently shelters 150 Donkeys, some who are were up for adoption. It is my pleasure to inform you all that the Champions adopted a donkey! Pumpkin, our donkey, is a very sweet little guy. He was born in the Donkey Sanctuary, and his fathered by an elderly donkey, "the Old man", since his mother was stolen. Pumpkin is light brown, small, and lovable. It was love at first sight!
After three interesting, and enjoyable stops, our tour guides drove us to the breezy, scenic Half Moon Bay. We spent some time here, body surfing, relaxing on the beach, and eating our lunches. This beautiful half-moon shaped beach was very charming, and quiet. We all had a great time catching some rays, and visiting another one of Antigua's exquisite beaches. By this time was tour was almost over, and I couldn't have been more pleased to what I had experienced so far. We packed our bags, and drove through the enchanting rainforest to our final destination, Fred's ice cream.
After six hours of entertainment, an ice cream cone was the cherry on top. Mojo's tour was equally as tasty, and delicious as my ice cream. The Champions and I are extremely grateful to Dr. Sheppard, who gave us the opportunity to experience the many treasures Antigua offers. As I sit here, completing my blog, I am overwhelmed with joy. I cannot wait to share my experiences, and what I've learnt in just a short four weeks.
