Arizona Diamondbacks
Luis Gonzalez: 'There were times' where Justin Upton didn't provide leadership
Former Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Luis Gonzalez knows a thing or two about clubhouse chemistry, and unlike ESPN MLB insider Keith Law, thinks it's a vital element towards building a championship-caliber culture.
Gonzalez, having been part of the D-backs' lone World Series team back in 2001, says that while Justin Upton is a great player, the organization had a desire to add more lunch pail-type assets in the offseason.
So while Thursday's decision to move Upton in a blockbuster deal with the Atlanta Braves might have ruffled some feathers in the Valley, the five-time All-Star said the D-backs received exactly what they were looking for.
"What we've gained now, is a couple of blue collar guys that are going to play the D-back way," Gonzalez, now a special assistant to team president and CEO Derrick Hall, told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Thursday. "Which means they'll go out there and play hard, give everything they've got.
"We love Justin Upton, of course the fans are going to miss him and we're going to miss him... But at the same time, this is a business in baseball. What we are trying to do is make our team better."
While Gonzalez said the team will miss Upton's skill set both in the field and at the plate, the former D-back was rather candid in suggesting that at times the star outfielder was his own worst enemy.
"There were times when Justin was on, he was a superstar," said Gonzalez. "But when he was off, he would get in his shell and would have those slumps and those streaks.
"When you're in the middle of that lineup you have to be that rock every day when you're going good and when you're going bad. You have to provide that leadership for your teammates... Personally for me, there were times where (Justin) didn't have that."
Although he understands why plenty of the attention has been centered around the 25-year-old outfielder since the deal was announced Thursday morning, Gonzalez said fans should be happy with what the organization received in return.
"I think we got a pretty good player in return," said Gonzalez referring to former All-Star Martin Prado, who played five positions with the Braves. "Not only that, but we have that depth in the outfield, and we are able to explore different options.
"Maybe, people think we got short-changed in the deal. But in the long run for us, we've added depth with not only two young pitchers (Randall Delgado and Zeke Spruill), but another young shortstop (Nick Ahmed) in the deal. We've continued to stockpile what we have."

Happy New Year! Wishing you many good things in 2015. Or at least, a better year than the one that just ended. Which seems pretty likely, all things considered.
But before we shove off into the future, let's see what you remember about 2014. Since there are a lot of quizzes at this time of year, we are going to specialize here in politics and air travel.
Hey, did you hear the bells on Christmas day? Did you see three ships come sailing in on Christmas day in the morning? Did your true love give you five golden rings, like the song says?

Former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush, moving closer to a possible presidential run, has stepped down as a paid adviser to a for-profit education company that sells online courses to public university students in exchange for a share of their tuition payments.

In a ceremony in Kabul Sunday, the U.S. commander of the NATO forces in Afghanistan grandly proclaimed the "end" of the 13-year combat mission against the Taliban and other terrorist foes. But in doing so, he emphasized that NATO personnel will continue to train home-grown Afghan forces taking up the actual fighting.
The strangest part of seeing the Cuban embargo officially deemed past its use-by date is how long this took.

|Fifty-three-year-old folksinger Spider John Koerner delivers only his sixth solo album in 27 years with Raised by Humans, following Spider Blues (1965), Running, Jumping, Standing Still (1969), Music Is Just a Bunch of Notes (1972), Some American Folk Songs Like They Used To (1974), and Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Been (1986). That last album marked something of a resurgence for Koerner, but it was a little deceptive in the sense that the recording was six years old when it was released. So, it's been more than six years between albums for Koerner, but not, perhaps, as much as 12, by the evidence of one of the few original compositions, "Summer of '88," the singer's wry observation of the state of the planet as of that year and season. For the most part, however, the album is consistent with Nobody Knows the Trouble I've Been in the sense that it consists of Koerner's easygoing takes on traditional material and songs associated with Leadbelly and Woody Guthrie. Accompanying himself on 12-string acoustic guitar, Koerner is joined by John "Mr. Bones" Burrell on bones and occasional other musicians, many of them also playing percussion instruments. He sings in an assured, rhythmic voice that has taken on a certain gruffness since the early days of Koerner, Ray & Glover more than 30 years ago, making it all the more appropriate to the often familiar songs and enabling him to create his own distinct interpretations. He doesn't need to make albums frequently, as long as the ones he does make are as enjoyable as this one. ~ William Ruhlmann

Carnahan Uncovers Fraud in Farmington
Troubled Firm Owes Investors more than $1 Million
Jefferson City, MO Missouri Secretary of State Robin Carnahan today announced Farmington Investment Corporation (FIC) and its former owner, Thomas Terry, have been charged with securities fraud for selling unregistered investments and misusing the savings of dozens of Missourians. According to the cease and desist order, the company currently owes more than $1 million to at least 42 investors.
Terry, who was owner and president of FIC from 2002 to 2008, allegedly raised money by promising investors annual returns of up to 8 percent. Neither Terry nor FIC were registered to sell investments in Missouri, as required by law.
According to the order, FIC investment funds were lent to consumers for automobiles, ATVs, and musical instruments at interest rates as high as 26 percent. Additionally, Terry used more than $200,000 of investors money to start other businesses, including two payday loan operations, Mr. Cash and Dough to Go, and a fitness center, Bulls Custom Fitness.
There is no place in this state for bait-and-switch scams or shady businesses that misuse an investors hard-earned savings, Carnahan said. Any investor considering a new offer or investment should call our Investor Protection Hotline to make sure it is legitimate.
Multiple investors contacted Carnahans office to report they could not access their savings as promised. A 63 year-old investor from Park Hills, Mo., told Carnahans office that he gave Terry $10,000 in September 2008. When the investor attempted to withdraw his money in January 2009, he was told that FIC was not able to pay out any money.
An 82 year-old Farmington, Mo., widow told investigators that because she could not redeem a long-held certificate from Farmington Investment Corporation, she was force to sell her home and borrow money from her son to pay her bills.
In a statement given to Carnahans Office, Terry stated that theres never been a point in the history of (Farmington Investment Corporation) that (it) had the money to pay the total amount it owed.
Terry and FIC have 30 days to respond to the order and request a hearing.
For more information regarding investments and fraud protection, or for information regarding a company or representative, call the toll free Investor Protection Hotline at 1-800-721-7996 or visit the Secretary of States online Investor Protection Center at www.MissouriSafeSavings.com.

An Easter Egg is an intentionally hidden cheat or hidden content in a video game, also known as a ''secret.''
This page is about the concept of Exploding Heads. Exploding Heads come in two different forms - one, where they are used as a dramatic device (eg. Bionic Commando), and, secondly, where they are used as a weapon (eg. Alien Storm).
A powerful release of energy. This energy is usually expelled in all directions very quickly, typically giving off orange or red flames.
Extreme violence pertains to excessive amounts of blood, gore, or violent acts. These include decapitation, mutilation, dismemberment, amputation, defenestration, disembowelment, torture and much more. Chainsaws usually produce the best excessive violence, while guns simply provide more blood spray.
A fake glitch is a "glitch" coded into the game, designed to confuse, scare, or amuse the player.

First-Person is a vantage point that attempts to simulate looking through a game character's eyes. It is most commonly found in First-Person Shooters and Racing Games, and to a lesser extent in other genres, such as RPGs and 3D Platformers.
Flattening is taking something three dimensional, and somehow making it very thin almost two dimensional. It can be used for comedic effect or a character to use it to fight through tight spaces.
Squirrels that glide between trees.
Magical creatures made of stone, resembling the grotesque statues commonly part of Gothic architecture such as the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris.
Characters with german accent.
A quest in a game where the protagonist awakes after drinking the night before and has to piece together what shenanigans they got up to.
Games with cartoony, colourful, happy art styles that involve a lot of bloodshed, violence and killing. Examples would be Castle Crashers, Team Fortress 2, Battlefield Heroes, Alien Hominid, Conker's Bad Fur Day...
Most modern shooting games add the realistic touch of rendering shots to the cranium instantly fatal. Glorious for the shooter, kind of a bummer to the shootee.
An Iconic concept of video games is the use of an idle animation for the players character, when during gameplay there's no control given. It's an example of emergent game design, and is used as a way to add depth to action characters.
A status of decreased cognition caused by a substance such as alcohol.
It's arguably the one move that symbolizes the medium to those outside it. The ability to jump, be it onto building, onto platforms, or onto skulls, is one of the all time most important abilities ever put in a video game.
A character that deliberately destroys themselves in order to kill their enemies. This can be something like letting a grenade kill yourself and your enemy in a first person shooter.
A very clumsy person who is typically used for comedic relief. They are often seen dropping things, falling down, and ruining experiments.
LGBT is the umbrella term for any sexual orientation or gender identity that is not straight.

USF Women's Basketball Team Gets 1st NCAA Tourney Win
Just like their male counterparts did last year, the USF women's basketball team won a NCAA Tournament game for the first time in team history, as the #10 seeded Bulls knocked off seventh-seeded Texas Tech 71-70 in Lubbock, Texas Saturday night.
Now, they hope to do something else the men did during the tournament a year ago -- beat California.
The Bulls (22-10) were led by Inga Orekhova (20 points, including five 3-pointers) and Andrell Smith (13 points, including two late free throws).
USF plays #2 seed California (29-3) in Lubbock at 9:45 p.m. ET Monday night. Cal topped #15 seed Fresno State 90-76 Saturday.
The USF men's basketball team beat Cal last year in a first round 'play-in' game 65-56, the first NCAA tournament win in school history. They topped Temple in the second round 56-44 before losing to Ohio 62-56 in the third round.

As everyone is coming back onto campus...so are Intramural Sports! We are offering Soccer, Sand Volleyball, Ultimate Frisbee and Softball!
Registration for these four fall intramural sports begins on Friday, September 5th at 10:00am and ends on Monday, September 8th at 4:00pm (or until all spots are filled).

If you have any questions, email us!
Three former Intramural Sports officials will be working the Division II Football National Championship between Northwest Missouri State and Lenoir-Rhyne University.
Dave Siegle will be the referee and work with head linesman Jeremy Valentine and Bryan Earl, as the alternate. The Championship will be played on Saturday, December 21 at Braly Municipal Stadium in Florence, Alabama.
This is a special opportunity, something many of officials aspire to do. As stated by Dave Siegle, "It's an honor to be selected and I'm excited for the opporutnity."
As the year came to a close, our intramural staff held a Town Hall Meeting to discuss rule changes. After much consideration and deliberation, we have come up with the following rule changes. Each new rule will be prefaced in the rules with the tag, **NEW RULE**
Once the regular season has ended, playoff brackets will be made available for viewing. Playoff registration will go live on Monday, October 8 at 10 AM! It will close at 4:30 PM.
Softball is a team sport consisting of ten players on each side. Starting with one ball and one strike, batters must face pitches that reach 6-12 feet in the air. Since bunting is disallowed, as well as leading off and stealing being illegal, teams must compete at high levels to score more runs than their opponents.
Soccer is conventionally known as the world's most popular sport. With people from over 200 countries playing the sport, soccer has a far-reaching impact in many cultures. In United States, the sport cotinues to grow at a steady pace. Here at the University of Michigan, soccer is among the most popular sports in Intramurals. Played with 9 players per side, Intramural Soccer offers a recreational environment, where players from all levels can compete in different leagues.
Sand Volleyball is a team sport consisting of two teams of four. As in indoor volleyball, teams compete to send the ball over the net and onto the ground of their opponents, with the added element of the sand court making it a little tougher to accomplish. Using rally scoring, teams may score on any serve. Due to the competitive play and easiness of rules, sand volleyball has grown in popularity around the world.
Inner tube water polo is a spinoff of the sport water polo, with participants having to compete while sitting in inflatable inner tubes. This allows for novice players to be able to experience the sport without the need of treading water and experiencing great physical contact. The game is played with seven (7) players per team, including a goalkeeper, and the winner is determined by whichever team scores the most goals on the opposing team.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Daniel Farey-Jones, mediaweek.co.uk, Friday, 14 October 2011 09:30AM
Third-quarter revenues from the UK totalled $1.05bn, the 13-year-old search giant disclosed last night, compared with $840m a year ago.
The 33% growth in the top line, which grew faster than its traffic acquisition costs, helped Google to boost overall net income by 26% year on year to $2.73bn.
Outperforming analysts' expectations, the company shows no sign of stumbling after the change of leadership from Eric Schmidt to Larry Page in April.
Announcing the results, Page again chose to focus on the progress of Google+, the company's attempt to catch up to Facebook's runaway success in the social networking space.
Google+ launched as an invitation-only service at the end of June, notching up 10 million sign-ups by mid-July.
Page claimed yesterday that it had just passed the 40-million mark, nearly a month after being made open to all.
Facebook has more than 800 million users, and, in September, it was reported that it had made first-half net income of almost $500m on revenues of almost $1.6bn.
Search continues to be the engine driving Google forward, with the number of paid clicks in the third quarter increasing 28% year on year.
In August, Google agreed to buy mobile phone business Motorola Mobility for $12.5bn (£7.7bn) in cash.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, people are exposed to OP pesticides through eating foods from crops treated with these chemicals. Farm workers, gardeners, florists, pesticide applicators and manufacturers of these insecticides may have greater exposure than the general population.
"Many people are also exposed when pesticides are used around homes, schools or other buildings," said study co-author Asa Bradman, associate director of the Center for Environmental Research in Children's Health (CERCH) at UC Berkeley.
The researchers recommended that consumers reduce their home use of pesticides, noting that most home and garden pests can be controlled without those chemicals. If pesticides are needed, they said bait stations should be used instead of sprays.
They also said that consumers should thoroughly wash fruits and vegetables; go beyond a quick rinse and use a soft brush, if practical. Consumers could also consider buying organic produce when possible as a way to reduce pesticide exposure from food, they said.
"I'm concerned about people not eating right based on the results of this study," said Eskenazi. "Most people already are not getting enough fruits and vegetables in their diet, which is linked to serious health problems in the United States. People, especially those who are pregnant, need to eat a diet rich in fruits and vegetables."

"To deliver high-quality creative services and progress our clients in an innovative and transparent environment."
JCW Productions began November 24, 2005 in Memphis, Tennessee, when John Christian Williams recorded the first basketball game at St. George's. John saw a demand for game films after Coach Jeff Ruffin asked him to record the games for coaches' film and soon the parents of the team asked for copies. Just months later, Jeff Ruffin married his wife Karen and the couple asked John, at age 13, to film their wedding. For the rest of his career at St. George's, John filmed hundreds of basketball, football and soccer games as well as many school programs, plays and other events. John began broadcasting the St. George's basketball games and was highlighted in a Sports Illustrated article in 2009 as being one of the first to broadcast high school sporting events on the internet. John produced highlight videos for athletes looking to play in college and well as producing marketing and promotional videos for schools and other organizations.
In 2010, John moved JCW Productions to Baton Rouge, Louisiana, when he attended the school of Mass Communication at LSU and became a student videographer for the LSU Football program. John traveled all over south Louisiana filming weddings and producing commercials and marketing videos for small businesses. In 2013, JCW Productions moved into its current location at 1284 Perkins Road in the heart of the Baton Rouge Garden District. At its current location, JCW Productions is complete with an 800-square-foot studio, a sound booth, conference room and offices.

"I was in the 6th grade when I realized I wanted to spend my life capturing the world through my lens. In 2005, I spent the summer mowing lawns to save up for a camera. The head basketball coach at my school, St. George's, asked me to film the team's games. I jumped at the opportunity and in 2005 I filmed the first wedding and began what is today known as JCW Productions.
"In 2010, I moved to Baton Rouge and attended LSU as a student videographer for the football team. I filmed every practice and game for coaches review. While at LSU, I began to produce commercials and film even more weddings. I bought our current studio in June of 2013 and I graduated in Broadcast Journalism just a couple of months later.
"I spend every day loving what I do and I have passion for capturing our world on film. I have filmed hundreds of weddings, produced commercials, directed television shows and filmed more snaps of football than anyone should. Most importantly, I have met numerous people getting to do what love and for that I have the best job in the world!"
"I am a native of Baton Rouge and attended Catholic High School here in Baton Rouge. At age 18, I started building websites for local businesses in Baton Rouge. One year later, I opened my third business focusing on not only website design, but also online marketing. While running my marketing business, I met John Christian and began shooting and editing video at JCW Productions.
"In April of 2014, I joined the JCW Productions team full-time as Vice President of Marketing bringing website design and online marketing to the team. I enjoy coming to work everyday to develop new marketing strategies to help our clients grow."
"After being interested in visual arts throughout my entire life, my interest in advertising began my second semester of college after walking through the Journalism Building at LSU and immediately knowing I wanted to be a part of what was going on there. I found a way to fuse both my love for art and my new-found interest in advertising though the Manship School.
"As a native of Baton Rouge and attending St. Joseph's Academy, I grew up watching local businesses' advertising evolve and after interning with JCW Productions I saw that I could have a hand in making the changes I had been watching for so long. The ever-changing nature of the advertising and social media world keeps me excited and passionate about the work I do everyday. I love coming to work knowing I get to post social updates that will keep users engaged and create the visuals that bring our clients to new heights."
"Born and raised in Denham Springs, South Louisiana has truly shaped me into the person I am today. I'm an aunt to four of the sweetest kids in the world and part of a family I'm so proud and thankful for. Following in the footsteps of my parents and siblings, it wasn't hard to decide where to attend college. I began LSU in 2010 and graduated in 2013 with a degree in Public Relations and Film.
"My interest in videography began when I was 15 years old making home videos for my very funny and unpredictable family. Little did I know that was the start of something I'd be doing for the rest of my life. My love for filmmaking grew throughout high school and college, but it wasn't until documenting the birth of my first nephew in 2011 that I realized the impact a video can have. And so began my passion for capturing special moments on video and allowing people to re-live some of life's happiest moments."
"Art has always been a huge part of my life, whether it was drawing little smiley faces all over everything when I was little, doodling in the corners of my notebooks in school, or painting and sculpting in my spare time during and after college. From a very young age I knew that I wanted to have a career that allowed me to express my artistic abilities. In high school, at St. Joseph's Academy, my love for drawing and painting really started to grow. It was then that I started to realize how seamlessly technology and art could work together and bring imaginations to life. When I first heard about graphic design I realized right away that it was the perfect career path for me. Once I was accepted into the College of Art and Design at LSU I quickly developed a passion for typography, illustration, color schemes and paper samples.
"After college, I worked as an intern for Louisiana Public Broadcasting. It was there that I developed an interest in motion graphics and sought to learn all I could while I was there. Later, I became fixated on the idea of working for myself as a freelance graphic designer. After months of hard work I was able to maintain a decent size client list along with a steady workflow. It was through freelancing that I became acquainted with JCW Productions. When I was offered the opportunity to work with a small group of creative people while still doing what I love, I jumped right on board. JCW Productions provides me with the opportunity to be as creative as possible and design within a multitude of media such as print, motion graphics, and web. The possibilities are endless here."
"The team may never know, but no idea was ever run through this business that I did not first approve. On the days that I am not asleep on the couch, I manage the entire team here at JCW Productions. After all, without me, this place would never be productive. I have a passion for chasing squirrels when I am not slapping the clapper at our shoots or putting the final shadows on our design work. John thinks I am his dog, but he is actually my human.
"If I could speak, I could solve all of your problems. But silence, much like patience, is a virtue."

my son has loved this since...pretty much birth!!! It is soo soft and cuddly. He has misplaced two of them soo far, so "they are off on an adventure somewhere." This is the second replacement. They last a long time, but keep them close always!!!

Just what I wanted... By 'GiGi'
September 4, 2011
I will be having my Grandchildren's initials and date of birth engraved on these and giving them as a "First Christmas gift"...got a pink one for this year and a blue one for grandchild to be born next year...they are exactly what I wanted. They are small enough that an infant is not overwhelmed by the size and the 'rattler' noise is different...just what we were looking for...perfect 'keepsake'!

The performance of this peel is truly exceptional. The skin is glowing, tone is even, pores are minimized, face looks relaxed and super soft. You do need a heavy duty moisturizer the night you are using this peel, a moisturizing mask would be a good option too. The packaging sucks.... But it is a small price you pay for this peel. A word of advice: use the vial for maximum 3 uses, I know that it sounds as a waste of product but for this particular product less is more is not true. Use abundantly and you will be astonished. Results are far superior that using sparingly.
6/15: after using this peel for over a trimester I became kind of bored of the messy application. Most importantly, I discovered that I can never be sure of the exact quantity, either of the paste or the activator, that I am using. Since you have to use each vial 3-4 times, the dosages could not be the same every time...sometimes is less, sometimes is more...
Results remain exceptional but I would not rebuy.

This is just simply one of those 'wow' products.
Being 20 I was a bit speculative when my dermatologist recommended at home facial peels to help fade my acne scars and improve texture. Like most of my generation I had a hard time moving away from the abrasive scrubs we have been told are the answer to all our blackhead/whitehead/dry skin woes. But I can honestly say after using this I have either thrown or given away all my face scrubs in place of the Omorovicza Copper Peel.
It is gentle, simple to use and does everything it promises. I fades redness, imparts a child-like skin glow and over time tightens pores and has appeared to 'plump' areas of my face which seemed depleted of life and buoyancy from my acne scarring.
I recommend following with an uber-hydrating moisutrizer (really slather it on) or even a hydrating mask to make the most of this product, and definitely wear a high spf sunscreen for at least the next few days (which we should be wearing everyday!) to protect the new skin and
maintain that clear fresh appearance.
I have to admit I don't mind the packaging, I like that about every month (one vile has around 3 uses in it) I can open a brand new vile which has been protected from any environmental damage. Although I do find them annoying to store and the caps on the vile are tricky to get back on- a screw top would be better.
This is the first Omorovicza product I have tried and will be looking into more of their products as supplements or new additions to my existing skincare regime.

This peel is amazing, it's very gentle and definitely shows the effects immediately. I've tried many others, as I've been trying to evaluate which high end products are really worth the price, and as expensive as this is it is far superior than any other peel. I think the key is the lactic acid, because it's very gentle and yet very effective. As far as at home peels, this is definitely the way to go!

I received one tube of the peel and its activator as part of a GWP and was so impressed. It lasts quite long - I got 3 or 4 uses out of it. It left me feeling fresh and brighter. It is expensive so I am not sure if I will buy this full price though. The glow might be worth it though!

Cheaper than going to the spa with the same effect! I love this product. I wish they hadn't changed the packaging recently, I miss the screw tops. You can get 2-3 uses out of each vial and the new tops are ridiculously hard to get back on. But still.........the product rocks! My skin is clearer and smoother than ever and I barely need to wear foundation given the new Omorovicza routine. And I'm 34 years old - so that's saying something!

Love! I switch between this and the Deep Cleansing Mask throughout the week - I even have my husband hooked. It's an easy mask to do, none of the long wait...you're done in less than 5 minutes; which makes it perfect to do in the morning before work or before a party, when you want a bit of a "lift" and that freshness that comes from doing a mask. It doesn't sting and seems to do quite a good job of exfoliating my skins. So much so that I may be saying goodbye to my Nia24 scrub. I much rather prefer this peel to a physical scrub.
It really is almost a science project - you put on a green paste, massage around gently for 2 min and then add the activator and do that for 2 minutes. Done. Glowing skin. Enough said.
Just one little thing: the only thing I'd change is the packaging - the activator is quite liquid and you do not need the entire tube (I find that I use about 1/3 of a tube of each of the products per use - and there 8 of each in a box!). As it's hard to put the cap back on, if you set it on its side, it will start leaking out. So you are compelled to put the cap back on. Wish that was a bit easier. But hardly an issue.
Definitely worth trying if you haven't. I will certainly be purchasing again.

The Brand-Bareford-Halpern 1793 S-10 Wreath Cent, MS64 Brown1793 1C Wreath Cent--Vine and Bars--MS64 Brown PCGS. S-10, R.4. The Sheldon-10 variety is sometimes called the Injured Rim variety due to the die flaw at 3 o'clock on the obverse. This variety has been known since at least the late 1860s, and was depicted on the famous "Levick Plate" published in the American Journal of Numismatics in 1869. The first Wreath cents were coined in early April 1793 with the final coins struck in July. Based on the emission sequence for these coins, it is likely that this variety was produced in the middle of April. Walter Breen believed that the production date for this variety was April 13, and that the total mintage was approximately 3,000 coins.
This example is from Breen's Die State I, with a narrow rim break over UNITE clearly visible. All of the obverse beading at the die flaw is clearly visible. The strike was very nicely centered on the planchet with a wide border outside the beads on each side. Most details are sharply defined although the upper locks of hair near Liberty's forehead are rather bluntly struck. The reverse has similar weakness on the ribbon bow and ribbon knot exactly opposing the weak obverse details. Both surfaces have smooth and satiny light brown luster with tinges of original mint red still visible on the reverse. There are very few 1793 large cents with even a trace of the original mint color. This specimen is solidly in the Condition Census and is either the second or third finest known. In Walter Breen's Large Cent Encyclopedia, Del Bland recorded this as the second finest known.

DogVacayRead MoreWhen dog lovers travel, DogVacay keeps their pups out of impersonal kennels and connects them with responsible canine hosts in their city. Instead of awaiting their owner's return in a kennel cage, dogs get the run of the house along with daily walks, challenging games of Scrabble, and playtime with well-socialized animals. Owners can browse thousands of profiles from professional pet-sitters, retired veterinarians, and fellow dog lovers based on location, home size, and family pets. Each host undergoes a five-step vetting process that includes an online application, reference checks, a phone interview, online training, and community reviews. DogVacay sitters can also watch cats and other animals, and offer daycare, walking, training, and some claim professional credentials such as training expertise or pet CPR. To ensure peace of mind, DogVacay provides insurance and 24/7 support as well as photo updates of the dog?s stay.3250 Mount Lehman RoadAbbotsford, BC CA
West Coast TailsRead MoreA winner in Vancouver magazine's Best of Vancouver 2010, West Coast Tails professional pet service is the brainchild of Candace Herrod, a former veterinary worker who grew up surrounded by pets. With the help of her husband, Ryan, she expanded her small pet-sitting business to include 16 bonded, insured, and pet-first-aid-trained attendants who perform services where pets are at their happiest—at home. When customers are away for extended periods of time, staff members stop by homes to give love and attention to dogs and cats that have grown bored of their toys and already plowed through the complete oeuvre of Dostoyevsky. They also walk dogs in private 30-minute sessions, brush up pets' manners with obedience training, and cart them around town with pet taxi services. For owners' peace of mind, attendants care for pets seven days a week, including holidays, and field both special and last-minute requests. The company recently started offering equine care, during which attendants arrive at stables to pamper horses with grooming, lunging, and road walks.20155 42A AvenueLangley, BC CA
Aldergrove Animal Hospital LtdRead MoreAs one of the first veterinary practices in Canada to install an underwater treadmill and therapy pool, Aldergrove Animal Hospital gives pets care that rivals what their owners get. In tandem with The SPAW Canine Sports Medicine and Rehabilitation, therapists heal dogs with aquatic care that ranges from therapeutic ultrasounds to non-impact water exercise. Of course, Drs. Jeff Bowra and Sharon Moloney and their team of animal-care specialists would prefer that dogs never need physical therapy, which is why they provide preventative and emergency veterinary care tailored for puppies and kittens through senior animals. They also strive to take care of animals beyond the hospital's facilities, giving owners online care guides on topics such as parasite prevention and how to save for dog college.26841 Fraser HighwayLangley, BC CA
Q-Ball AgilityRead MoreThe dog-loving instructors at Q-Ball Agility—each possessing up to two decades of experience—take canine obedience to a whole new level. The experts go beyond standard sit and stay commands to bring out dogs' natural athleticism, teaching them and their owners to compete on agility courses punctuated by jumps, tunnels, climbing frames, and other obstacles. Dogs of any breed and nearly any age can bask in the fun, exercise, and social bonding that these and the centre's other canine-centred sports—such as flyball and rally obedience—provide. Of course, these feats of fitness can only be achieved with an understanding between each dog and its owner, so the centre also offers basic obedience classes to help pets learn the skills in sitting, heeling, and end-zone dancing that are essential on the agility course.8905 240th St.Langley, BC CA
AKA-K9Read MoreMaster dog trainer Adam Smith transforms aggressive, fearful, and hyperactive dogs into well-adjusted companions. Eschewing treat-based reward training, Adam instead focuses on earning the trust of his canine students with positive energy and open communication. He then leads dogs through a training regimen designed to develop their minds, bodies, and ability to speak in a human voice. Working from the training centre at Anacare Kennels, Adam offers services that include short- and long-term care and training, stand-alone mini lectures and board-and-train boot camps.8905 240th StreetLangley, BC CA
Tiffany's Grooming SalonRead MoreSince 1969, dog-loving groomers at Tiffany?s Grooming Salon have served the area's pets with baths, trims, and even hand-scissored specialty cuts. Their doggy paradise is outfitted with specialty shampoos for all types of hair and skin, custom safety equipment, and hydraulic tables to accommodate larger breeds or older pets. To thoroughly pamper and calm canines, they can treat dogs to a four- to six-hour spa day complete with a massaging bath, blow-dry, pedicure, and custom hairstyle that suits their needs.820B 12th St.New Westminster, BC CA
