Obesity link to economic freedom: study
Relevant offers
A link exists between a country's economic freedom, fast-food purchases, and obesity, researchers say.
Their results fit New Zealand, among other countries, they said.
The World Health Organisation has used the study as another opportunity to call for governments to take action to "reverse the obesity epidemic by hindering the spread of ultra-processed foodstuffs".
The authors used data on the number of fast-food transactions per capita from 1999 to 2008 in 25 high-income countries and compared that with figures on body mass index (BMI) in the same countries over the same period.
A report of the study, published in the Bulletin of the World Health Organisation, said the work showed that countries adopting market-liberal policies had faster increases in both fast-food consumption and mean BMI.
The average number of fast-food transactions per capita per year increased for all 25 countries in the study, with the 10.1 transactions per capita increase in New Zealand the fourth highest.
Canada (16.6), Australia (14.7) and Ireland (12.3) had larger increases.
According to the OECD, New Zealand has the fourth-highest rate of obesity among members of the organisation, with 27.8 per cent of the population aged 15 and above rated as obese, based on BMI figures.
New Zealand was also ranked fifth in the 2014 index of economic freedom published by US think tank The Heritage Foundation.
The average number of annual fast-food transactions per capita for all countries in the study increased from 26.61 to 32.76, while the average BMI increased from 25.8 to 26.4.
A BMI of 30 or more is considered obese, while one of 25 or more is considered overweight.
The researchers - from the University of California Davis, Queen's University Belfast, and the University of Texas - calculated that each 1-unit increase in the average number of annual fast-food transactions per capita was associated with an increase of 0.0329 in BMI over the study period.
The cause of the link between fast-food purchases and obesity was less clear.
While soft drinks explained a small proportion of it, neither animal fats nor total calories seemed to be significant, the report said.
"This is puzzling. The fat and calories in fast-food meals are usually blamed for the unhealthful effect of fast food.
"Although we cannot exclude the possibility of measurement errors, factors other than calories and fat content may explain why fast food makes people fat," the report said.
"Researchers need to investigate, for example, the metabolic effects of long-term exposure to fast foods produced from the meat of animals fed on corn, kept in confinement and exposed to excessive fertilisation."
More research was also needed to study the effects of the degree of processing of food items and not just their nutrient and caloric content.
The findings had important implications for policy, the researchers said.
"In particular, they suggest that government regulations hindering the spread of fast-food consumption might help to mitigate the obesity epidemic."

NFL draft: UCLA's Su'a-Filo goes to Houston in second round
In yet another sign of how far the program has come under Jim Mora, UCLA guard Xavier Su'a-Filo was the first player selected on Day 2 of the NFL draft.
The Houston Texans began Friday's festivities by selecting Su'a-Filo with the first pick in the second round, No. 33 overall. Su'a-Filo became the highest-drafted Bruins lineman since Kris Farris went in the third round in 1999. UCLA didn't have an offensive lineman picked from that point until last year, when Jeff Baca went in the sixth round.
Su'a-Filo (6-4, 307) was considered a fringe first-rounder and no worse than a second-rounder. He split time between left tackle and guard for UCLA but is expected to play guard in the NFL.
Su'a-Filo missed the 2010 and '11 seasons while serving a Mormon mission. He started 27 games the past two seasons under Mora for UCLA.
Houston's rebuilding project under new coach Bill O'Brien clearly is starting in the trenches. The Texans used the first overall pick Thursday on South Carolina defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.

Stonington — With 60 percent of homes and businesses here without power as of noon and temperatures expected to dip into the single digits tonight, the town expects to open the emergency shelter at the high school early this afternoon.
Officials at the emergency operations center said this morning that before they can open the center, they have to clear snow from the high school parking lot and then transport Red Cross volunteers to the high school.
With roads still closed, residents who need shelter will be able to call the center at 860- 599-7583 or 599-7584 and police officers in SUVs will bring them to the shelter.
Because of this, First Selectman Ed Haberek encouraged residents without power to first seek out friends and relatives with power before calling for a ride to the shelter.
Numerous downed trees and wires have made roads across town impassable including major thoroughfares such as North Main and North Water streets south of Route 1, Jerry Browne Road at Mistuxet Avenue and River Road at Rivercrest Drive.
In all there are 110 reports of downed trees and wires and 25 blown transformers.
Police captain Jerry Desmond said that during the night calls reporting power outages and downed trees and wires flooded the police department communications center.
"Our dispatchers did a great job handling them," he said.
Haberek said a large number of CL & P crews are currently working to repair a major substation and power line that feeds the town.
In addition, he said wires are down and covered by snow, some in wooded areas. In those areas he said it may be days before customers in those areas have power restored. He said CL & P should have restoration estimate available later today.
"This is like Hurricane Sandy with a super snowstorm," he said.
After the October hurricane 95 percent of the town was without power and it took almost a week to restore the entire town.
Police Chief J. Darren Stewart said residents need to be aware of the fact that where they are shoveling of children playing there could be downed power lines covered in snow.
"The best thing people can do is to hunker down for a few days and enjoy your company," he said.
While the roads here are technically closed, a large number of plowing contractors were out this morning clearing driveways and parking lots. Route 1 was passable this morning with four-wheel drive.
During the night, Stewart said police cruisers were unable to get through the heavy snow so police had to make use of three sport utility vehicles and the animal control truck to respond to calls. On medical calls, high department plows cleared the way for ambulances and police.
Stewart said a Pawcatuck woman who twisted her knee, fell in the snow and could not get up was then struck by a falling tree limb. She escaped serious injury.
Emergency Preparedness Director George Brennan cautioned people with direct vent furnaces to make sure they clear snow from the vents.

Step out in style with upcycled ideas for spring! Make Pretty Collaged Shoes from Tiffany Windsor using sandals you already have. All you need is pretty tissue paper and some Aleene's Collage Pauge glue and you can make your own cool kicks.
- Aleene's Collage Pauge
- Paint brush – soft bristle
- Sandals of your choice
- Decorative papers – I used hand-painted tissue paper. Rice paper also works well.
- Scissors
- For my project, I used hand-painted tissue papers. Rice paper also works well for this technique. Select a paper that is soft yet durable.
- Brush Aleene's Collage Pauge onto surface of shoe.
- Brush Aleene's Collage Pauge on wrong side of painted tissue.
- Lay paper over sandal strap.
- Brush another coat of Aleene's Collage Pauge on top of tissue paper.
- Cut off excess. Dip finger into Aleene's Collage Pauge and rub it over the surface of the tissue until most wrinkles have been pushed out. I prefer to cut off excess along sides (rather than folding them to the back side because any wrinkles can potentially rub your foot.) Let dry completely.

Drones aren't just for delivering Hellfire missiles and packages from Amazon. Bellingham Washington deck builder Tyler Van Katwijk of Artistic Decks recently equipped a DJI Flamewheel F450 quadcopter with a GoPro II video camera to capture aerial views of his deck projects. Van Katwijk modified the quadcopter with landing gear and a gimbal mount for the GoPro. To make sure the unit returns to its take-off position, the quadcopter is equipped with a GPS – a good thing, since Van Katwijk reports that his drone has a range of about a mile.

INS Vikrant to be auctioned
Mumbai: Defence Ministry has initiated the process to auction the decommissioned aircraft carrier INS Vikrant after the Maharashtra government expressed inability to maintain the ship, Vice Admiral Shekhar Sinha, chief of Western Naval command, said on Tuesday.
"I am personally very sad as the ship will be scrapped ...," Sinha said, adding he was probably the last person who steered it.
"The Ministry of Defence has decided to auction INS Vikrant as the Maharashtra government has informed us they will not be able to maintain the ship," he said.
Sinha said if anyone wanted to convert the ship into a museum, the Navy would extend help.
He said the last date of receiving bids for auction is December 14. "A few companies have already approached the Navy," the officer said.
"There is an advisory board which will take decision and the highest bidder who will have to deposit some money," he said.
The first aircraft carrier of the Indian Navy was commissioned in 1961 and after a distinguished service, she was decommissioned in January 1997.
INS Vikrant had played a major role in the 1971 Bangladesh war.

LONDON, January 22, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Latest economic data from the world's two biggest economies, U.S. and China, has been encouraging. This augurs well for the electronic equipment industry. Thus, our research team at StockCall initiated technical analysis on Sony Corp. (NYSE: SNE) and Panasonic Corp. (NYSE: PC). These free reports are available at
Improvements in the U.S. and Chinese Economy
On Thursday, data released in the U.S. showed that jobless claims fell unexpectedly last week to a five-year low, signaling an improvement in the labor market. Meanwhile, data released from the Commerce Department showed that housing starts jumped 12.1% to an annual rate of 954,000 in the month of December.
Earlier today, China reported that its economy grew 7.9% in the fourth quarter of 2012, a sign of improvement. Growth in the world's fastest growing major economy picked up for the first time in two years.
Effect on Sony and Panasonic
All these developments are positive for the electronic equipment industry. No surprise then that shares of Japanese electronic equipment companies Sony Corporation and Panasonic Corporation rose sharply in trading in Tokyo overnight. Find the free report on Panasonic on the members' area upon sign-up at
Both Sony and Panasonic are also expected to benefit from a weaker yen. The yen has been weakening in the last few days amid increasing speculation that the Bank of Japan will implement further monetary easing measures to boost growth in the world's third largest economy. A weaker yen will boost Japanese exports and this is a positive for Sony and Panasonic.
Sony's Recent Struggles
Sony Corp. [Free Report on SNE](1) has been struggling in recent years. For the fiscal year ended March 2012, the company had posted a record loss of 457 billion yen ($5.1 billion). However, Kazuo Hirai, Sony's CEO, is confident that the company is headed in the right direction. Speaking to reporters, Hirai noted that the company is more nimble now and focused under his leadership. Hirai took charge of the struggling company nine months ago. The CEO said that the company had been bogged down by its extensive bureaucracy. He said that he is making a point of personal involvement in product development to make sure good ideas do not get smothered.
The company's U.S. unit, meanwhile, announced that it reached an agreement to sell its 37-storey New York headquarters to a group of investors led by the Chetrit Group for $1.1 billion. The sale is expected to generate net cash proceeds of approximately $770 million. The sale is part of Sony's restructuring plans. The company is looking to sell assets and reduce workforce as it seeks to reverse four straight years of losses.
Investors are now focused on Sony's quarterly results, which will be released on February 7, 2013.
Signs of Slow Improvement
Sony and Panasonic have been struggling due to increasing competition from electronic equipment companies across China, South Korea and Taiwan. In November last year, it was reported that Panasonic was planning to cut more jobs in 2013 as part of its restructuring, aimed at cost savings and restoring its softening sales.
The weakening global economy has also had a negative impact on the companies. However, the companies have been taking measures to return to profitability. A weaker yen and an improving global economy should further help the two companies.

In addition to all the benefits, IoT is also bringing new kind of customer experience challenges - cars that unlock themselves, thermostats turning houses into saunas and baby video monitors broadcasting over the internet. This list can only increase because while IoT services should be intuitive and simple to use, the delivery ecosystem is a myriad of potential problems as IoT explodes complexity. So finding a performance issue is like finding the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Ask someone to architect an Internet of Things (IoT) solution and you are guaranteed to see a reference to the cloud. This would lead you to believe that IoT requires the cloud to exist. However, there are many IoT use cases where the cloud is not feasible or desirable. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Dave McCarthy, Director of Products at Bsquare Corporation, will discuss the strategies that exist to extend intelligence directly to IoT devices and sensors, freeing them from the constraints of ...

When people aren't talking about VMs and containers, they're talking about serverless architecture. Serverless is about no maintenance. It means you are not worried about low-level infrastructural and operational details. An event-driven serverless platform is a great use case for IoT.

The idea of comparing data in motion (at the sensor level) to data at rest (in a Big Data server warehouse) with predictive analytics in the cloud is very appealing to the industrial IoT sector. The problem Big Data vendors have, however, is access to that data in motion at the sensor location. In his session at @ThingsExpo, Scott Allen, CMO of FreeWave, discussed how as IoT is increasingly adopted by industrial markets, there is going to be an increased demand for sensor data from the outermos...

Easy sacks for NFL StreetHome / Playstation 2 /
This page contains NFL Street Hints for Playstation 2 called "Easy sacks" and has been posted or updated on Apr 1, 2008 by littleman10.

- Genre: Sports
- Release: Jan 13, 2004
- ESRB: Everyone
Easy sacks
When you are on defense, choose the plays that use all three defensive linemen across the frontline. For example, select the "MLB Blitz" play from the "Stop Run" or "Short Pass" playbook. Once the screen switches from playbook view to field view, you will see that you have all three defensive linemen across the front of the other team's offense, and that directly behind your defensive line is your linebacker. Use this player to run straight up between your defensive linemen that is in the middle of the line and another one of your linemen either on the right or left, depending on the way that the play and QB moves. Once the ball is snapped, notice that it only takes a second or two to sack the QB, which is the amount of time it takes for the CU-controlled QB to throw the ball. This strategy not only works with this play (MLB Blitz) but with any defensive play that allows for three defensive linemen to line up across the front line with a linebacker directly behind the defensive line. This strategy can stop some of the running plays and is excellent for stopping reverses. If you get blocked, it will free up one of your defensive linemen and he will get to the QB faster.

17 of 20 people found the following review helpful
This review is from: Led Zeppelin 1 (Audio CD)
Zeppelin's début effort is a remarkable achievement. The "knock-knock" wake-up call of the surprisingly commercial opener "Good Times Bad Times" gives way to the labyrinthine acoustics of "Babe I'm Gonna Leave You". This is followed by Willie Dixon's blues tune "I Can't Quit You Baby", in an arrangement which steals from and improves upon the Jeff Beck Group's rendition. This segues into the moody, hallucenogenic "Dazed and Confused", a cornerstone of Zeppelin performances for years to come. What was side two opens with "Your Time is Gonna Come", in which a guitar figure pinched from Traffic's "Dear Mr. Fantasy" complements JP Jones' organics perfectly. This track leads straight into Page's eastern-styled acoustic piece "Black Mountain Side", which is followed by the high-speed riffage of "Communication Breakdown". Back to the Dixon songbook for "I Can't Quit You Baby", and then onto the album's finalé, the histrionic "How Many More Times", which freely borrows from Howlin' Wolf, Booker T and the MGs and a host of other sources, whilst remaining defiantly Zeppelin. Recorded in a mere thirty hours, and more than thirty years on, this sounds fresh, vital and powerful.

it's gonna be a great night for every sports fan. and to the guy who said england is the most football crazy nation in europe, seems like he hasnt been off that island too often.
them folks love rugby, cricket, darts and what not. countries like germany basically dont have any other mainstream sport next to football since there is no room for it, but in the uk as ticket sales prove the sports landscape is thankfully more diverse.

For you to deny that Football is the most popular sport in England is living in a higher state of denial than Klittards.
Nobody said England didn't have other sports.. Soccer is more popular in England than the NFL is in the United States.
Soccer is the most watched sport in Europe.. and it's not even remotely close..
English Sports is football. That doesn't mean other sports are not popular.. it just means that Soccer = England.
I mean this is common sense.
If England ever wins the world cup.. the isle will explode..
Explode.. There will be nothing left but a big hole where the UK used to be..
Selling out an arena.. don't mean anything. It's far easier to sell out in Europe than it is in The United States when it comes to boxing.
But for anyone to think that Champions League finals will NOT effect casual viewing.. it's ignorant... That's why I said the best will be to have the fight AFTER the Finals or BEFORE the Finals...
same day is ok.. but not same time slot.

That site is a fooking joke. Everytime I click on tickets, it says the seats aren't available - but then it'll change the price band that is seemingly available - so right now, it's showing the £80 tickets to be available (having not been so since about 4pm). But when I click on it - nothing. Not available, try again.
When I click on the £500 seats (just to check) - still getting the message about tickets not being available.

The authors' purpose in this study was to identify social structural predictors of receiving emotional support from parents early in life and structural factors responsible for variations in the associations between early parental support and adult health status. Data front a US representative sample of 2,786 adults aged 25-74 years suggest that men, non-Whites, and individuals from socioeconomically advantaged families report having received higher levels of early parental support. Furthermore, these analyses suggest that although adult health status is predicted by early parental support in general, health status among adults is particularly,, sensitive to levels of support received from a same-sex parent during childhood. These findings emphasize the pervasive influence of gender in American society, and add focus to researchers' understanding of the long-term health effects of early parental support.

Welcome to Collins-Maxwell Community School District!
The mission of the Collins-Maxwell School District is to prepare responsible individuals for the future through academic and social experiences.
The school district does not discriminate in its education programs or educational activities on the basis of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, race, religion, creed, color, national origin, marital status, socioeconomic status, or disability as required by Title VI and VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972 and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act 1973.
2016-2017 Registration Information
The Whole Grade Sharing Decision
The Collins-Maxwell School Board's unanimous vote to end Whole Grade Sharing conversations came down to one very simple issue: money. The very real possibility of losing a significant percentage of the district's children over the next four years was in the end the sole determination in making the decision. Much conversation was held over issues such as the location of facilities/events, what positions would be shared, who might be in those roles, and who else might be invited to the table for larger partnering opportunities.
But the issue of school finance and how the Collins-Maxwell community would be impacted trumped everything. To put this in simplest terms, consider how your own household would work if within four years you knew family income would drop by 30-40%. No family would sign up for that challenge. Collins-Maxwell board members could not put their school community in such peril.
As each board member spoke there was a clarity of purpose and great emotion. No one had taken this difficult decision lightly. This was clearly evident for all in attendance. It was not about "bullying", or pressure, but rather about economic facts. While our long time sports sharing partner Baxter might not miss a beat and likely flourish with a Whole Grade Sharing partnership, it was impossible to find a positive path forward for Collins-Maxwell when losing so many children.
Several weeks ago Collins-Maxwell offered an option of looking at a regional plan that could impact teaching and learning in this area for years to come. It was a big, ambitious idea and outside of a few enthusiasts did not gain the traction needed.
Last night board members reiterated their support for the recently renewed two-year sports sharing agreement that has served CMB for twenty-eight years. But asking the Collins-Maxwell board to financially implode their district was not something they could vote to do.
So a new chapter is about to unfold. New central office leadership will invigorate the district. Finances are much improved and plans for maintaining a strong financial program are in place. Teaching and Learning will have a new district leader and already much has been done to insure quality instruction for students.
Finally, it would be my hope as I leave that lessons have been learned. The sometimes petty bickering needs to stop. All small towns and school districts face challenges. Cooperation, trust, and understanding are the tools that will allow for successes. Mayors need to talk, city councils need to meet periodically, and people need to support their school district. Build upon this new opportunity to improve the future of your school district and communities. Everyone wins!!!
Are you confused when you see your student's Iowa Assessments Profile Narrative? Do you know if your student is proficient or not in reading, math and science?
We have created a narrated slideshow to help answer some of your questions about this state test. We hope this will answer some of your questions and explain the scores generated from these assessments. If you have any other questions please feel free to talk with your student's teacher.

Lately, there's been a lot of talk about these people we call millennials. Namely, the current generation, Generation Y, those "entitled, narcissists who still live with their parents", according to Keith Wagstaff. From complimentary to derisive, countless writers have deemed it their duty to predict exactly what this generation will add or (as most reports warn) detract from our current society. But the truth is, nothing has been said about the "Me, me, me generation" that hasn't been said about every generation before them.
Specialized or technical advice or skills not closely related to your company's core objectives can often be handled effectively by outside contractors.

Carlos Aguilar Match Race Day 2 - Holmberg still going strong
by Carol Bareuther on 9 Dec 2012
Germany's Sven Eric Horsch (far left) and the USA's Dave Dellenbaugh (second from left) in a closely contested match. Dellenbaugh won. Dean Barnes
Fierce pre-start duels, shedding penalties with aplomb and wins captured by less than a boat length is a taste of the highly competitive action at the fifth Carlos Aguilar Match Race (CAMR), presented by Ulysse Nardin/Trident Jewels & Time.
The USVI's Peter Holmberg leads after day two of competition with 13 wins. Holmberg, formerly the top ranked match racer in the world and an Olympic Silver Medalist, is sailing with an all Virgin Islands crew: Maurice Kurg, Morgan Avery and Ben Beer. Right behind him is the USA's Dave Dellenbaugh, who won all his matches today for a total of 12. Dellenbaugh was the tactician and starting helmsman on America3 during her successful defense of the America's Cup in 1992 and sailed in three other America's Cup campaigns, so he certainly has an incredible depth and history of experience.
However, says Dellenbaugh, 'I've only competed in one match race in the past three years. But, I've been thinking about the sport constantly.'
Dellenbaugh spent much of the past few years coaching Anna Tunnicliffe and her crew as they represented the US in Women's Match Racing at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
In the CAMR, Dellenbaugh is sailing with a team of women that includes his daughter, Becca, who was one of the top contenders who sailed against Tunnicliffe for the Olympic match racing slot.
'I'm looking forward to competing on the new women's match racing circuit that will begin next year,' says Becca Dellenbaugh. 'Match racing is such a blast. We're having such a great time.'
The USA's Sally Barkow, sixth ranked woman match racer in the world, rounds out the top three teams with 11 wins.
In other scores, the USA's Dave Perry posted 8 wins, Brazil's Henrique Haddad 7 wins, the USA's Chris Poole 6.5 wins, and the USVI's Tyler Rice 6 wins.
Meanwhile, Brazil's Renata Decnop enjoyed a better day to score a total of 5 wins.
'Sailing in this venue two years ago in the same boats does help, especially in knowing how shifty the wind can be,' says Decnop, who will look to represent Brazil in the Women's 470 Class in the 2016 Summer Olympics. 'Yesterday, we started well, but we had trouble coming together as a crew. Today, with yesterday's experience, we are much better and we're looking forward to tomorrow.'
Rounding out the 11 team fleet are the USA's Stephanie Robles tied with Denmark's Lotte Meldgaard Pedersen each with four wins, with Germany's Sven-Eric Horsch at 2 wins.
This four-day regatta, sailed in Inter-Club (IC)-24s, will continue Saturday with the remainder of the second round-robin and start of the Semi-Finals. The Finals will be broadcast live locally on WVWI (AM 1000).
Up for grabs is a distinctive Ulysse Nardin precision timepiece for the winner.
A group of Virgin Island's youth will have an opportunity to try-on match racing during the Carlos Aguilar Match Race Youth Regatta, which will take place between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Saturday.
Match racing pits one identical boat against another on a short course oftentimes near to shore. On-the-water umpires make instant calls and enforce the rules. The result is very exciting racing up and down the Charlotte Amalie waterfront. Spectators are invited to watch the racing under tented bleacher seating where there will be live narration. Viewers around the world can watch via a live webcast on
Carlos Match Race
Racing starts at 9 a.m. (GMT – 4 hrs) daily.
The St. Thomas Yacht Club (STYC) and the Virgin Islands Sailing Association (VISA) are organizing authorities for the CAMR, namesake for the late Carlos Aguilar, who was an avid sailor and match racer.
Supporting sponsors of the CAMR are the U.S. Virgin Islands Department of Tourism; Heineken Beer and Captain Morgan, distributed in the U.S. Virgin Islands by Bellows International Ltd.; Budget Marine; Hooters; Patron, distributed by Premier Wines & Spirits; Choice Communications; Bolongo Bay Beach Resort; Yacht Haven Grande; Gill and St. Thomas Yacht Club. Daily race results and copyright-free downloadable images by Virgin Islands-based photographer, Dean Barnes, will be available for editorial use on the official event website

We consider a source-destination pair assisted by parallel regenerative decode-and-forward relays operating in orthogonal channels. We investigate distributed power allocation strategies for this system with limited channel state information at the source and the relay nodes. We first propose a distributed decision mechanism for each relay to individually make its decision on whether to forward the source data. The decision mechanism calls for each relay that is able to decode the information from the source to compare its relay-to-destination channel gain with a given threshold. We identify the optimum distributed power allocation strategy that minimizes the total transmit power while providing a target signal-to-noise ratio at the destination with a target outage probability. The strategy dictates the optimum choices for the source power as well as the threshold value at the relays. Next, we consider two simpler distributed power allocation strategies, namely the passive source model where the source power and the relay threshold are fixed, and the single relay model where only one relay is allowed to forward the source data. These models are motivated by limitations on the available channel state information as well as ease of implementation as compared to the optimum distributed strategy. Simulation results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed distributed power allocation schemes. Specifically, we observe significant power savings with proposed methods as compared to random relay selection.

Those troopers are part of the vast right wing conspiracy.LOL

Ordered a sleeping bag for a birthday present; stayed showing as 'picking' on the website. Had to call to chase the order which resulted in it getting delivered. Subsequently arrived after the birthday.
