Contemplating any petty crime or vandalism in the near future? I would strongly suggest that you abandon such anti-social considerations, especially given the Globe and Mail's amplification of Treasure Board President Stockwell Day's comments during yesterday's puzzling press conference.
You may recall his assertion that statistics showing significant declines in crime rates are misleading, given the number of crimes that go unreported. While it is a little hard for me to get my head around the concept of statistics for unreported transgressions, (almost as difficult as understanding the justification for spending $9 billion for new prisons to contain this phantom explosion of crime), in today's paper Day explains that voluntary surveys establish these crimes as fact. There seem to be only two problems with his explanation: the last survey of this nature was done in 2004, and in comparing it to the previous one done in 1999, there was no increase of unreported violent crime, only a small rise in unreported vandalism and petty theft.
With the upcoming multi-billion dollar expenditure for new federal prisons, the Conservatives are sending a very clear and powerful message: steal your neighbour's hedgeclippers or take a spray can to a wall, and you'll feel the full weight of the law.

Steve Hansen will end a trophy-laden tenure as the head coach of the All Blacks at the conclusion of next year's Rugby World Cup.
The decision by Hansen is set to start a recruitment frenzy for his successor with Wales coach Warren Gatland and Ireland coach Joe Schmidt already confirming they will be leaving their respective unions after the global showpiece in Japan.
Hansen, 59, assumed the role of head coach of New Zealand in 2011 having served as assistant to Graham Henry and led them to a World Cup title defence when England hosted the tournament three years ago.
The All Blacks have been unwithering in their domination of the Rugby Championship this decade, winning six of seven editions under the guidance of the Otago native.
Holding a press conference shortly after New Zealand Rugby's announcement he would be leaving, Hansen outlined a clear mind for his players and spending more time with his family as the key factors for moving on.
"It means we won't be distracted by you guys asking me every five minutes am I staying or going. So that will be great and we'll be able to concentrate on what we have to do," Hansen told reporters.
"I think after 16 years it's been a wonderfully privileged time to be involved in rugby in New Zealand but from a New Zealand Rugby point of view, I think it's fair to give them the time to find a replacement.
"We've always said it's about the team first and not the individual and for me, I think it's right for the team to have someone new after this World Cup.
"The other major reason is that I want to spend more time with my family. They have given me unreserved support and now it is time for me to make them the sole focus and spend more time with them.
"One of the things about this role – and I am not bagging it – is that you become everyone's property and everyone has an opinion. Which I am fine with but it is hard on the other family members."
Steve Hansen's record as All Blacks' head coach: Played 96, won 85, drawn 3, lost 8. Second to none.
— Peter Jackson (@JackoRugby) December 13, 2018
The past 18 months has seen sections of the New Zealand media covet the omnipotence of the All Blacks with shades of doubt following a drawn series against the British & Irish Lions and defeats to South Africa and Ireland.
Hansen explained after the September loss to the Springboks in Wellington that there was rarely a moment of peace in the high stakes of international rugby.
"The All Blacks live in a constant place of pressure to win," he said.
"You guys were writing the Boks off, and now you're starting to write us off, which is good."
In the return fixture at Loftus Versfeld, the All Blacks were staring defeat in the face again when trailing 23-6 only for Kieran Read and company to launch an audacious comeback that saw Ardie Savea score a last-gasp try to clinch a 32-30 triumph.

The removal of Keith Hernandez's mustache is becoming an event, befitting the renowned facial hair that in 2007 was voted the best ever in sports by the American Mustache Institute. The graying mustache will be shaved by a barber in the plaza outside the Jackie Robinson Rotunda at Citi Field on Sept. 27 before the Mets' final home game of the season. With the Mets 4-23 at home since the All-Star break, the shave could be more exciting than the afternoon game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Despite the current mustache facing its last stand over his upper lip, there might be another in the near future. But, he said, "I'll keep it off for the rest of the season."
When he first mentioned that he might shave off his mustache, he said he might simply appear for the Mets' final game broadcast on SNY — Oct. 3 against the Marlins in Miami — without it. But his tentative mustache-shaving plan was soon met with interest by Schick Hydro, which will provide the barber and donate $5,000 to the charity named for his mother, the Jacquelyn Hernandez Adult Day Health Center in Brooklyn, which helps Alzheimer's patients and elderly and disabled people.
Jacquelyn Hernandez died of Alzheimer's in 1989. Hernandez has helped raise money for the center, largely through annual dinners.
"The fact that the money will go to my mom's day care center, which I've always raised funds for, makes it a good thing," Hernandez said Thursday. "The center gives people a place without the wherewithal to care for their loved ones at home all day." He said that the care for his mother at home fell largely to his father and brother.
Hernandez's mustache-shaving will probably not be as famous as, say, Joe Namath's Noxzema commercial with Farrah Fawcett in the 1970s. But highlights from the barber's work below Hernandez's nose will be shown on SNY's pregame show and during the game. It might also be streamed live on the network's Web site, sny.tv.
The ceremonial shave might never have been devised had Just for Men's hair-dyeing gel continued its longtime endorsement deal with Hernandez and Walt Frazier earlier this year. But without the contractual requirement to keep his mustache black on the air, Hernandez let it go gray. And the steadily graying mustache promoted Hernandez's offhanded comment that he might shave it off altogether. Soon after he made the comment, an online petition sprang up, demanding that he not shave it.
One person who signed the petition called the mustache the "Mona Lisa" of Hernandez's face.
Andrew Fegyveresi, a spokesman for SNY, said that finding a way to save Hernandez's clipped whiskers "has been discussed."

Review by Billy Russell
I have something of a complicated history with Godzilla, beginning with the first movie in the massive series I ever got to see: Godzilla 1985. The plot and structure is relatively similar to the original American release of Gojira in 1954, complete with awkward re-shoots of Raymond Burr saying something like, "Yes, I see," to no one in particular and interacting with no one in particular. The ending, though, is something that nightmares are made of. Poor Godzilla is lured to a volcano by the "good guys" of the plot by way of bird sounds, which makes it seem like the guy is just a big, dumb kid who wants nothing more than to play with his winged ancestors and then KABOOM! the bombs go off and he's swimming in lava until his demise. As a five year-old, I wept at this ending. In my defense, though, he was the most fully-formed character of anyone.
The way I always figured, there were two types of Godzilla movies. You had the more serious kind that tugged at the heart-strings and toyed with the idea of Godzilla being a victim of his own being, like Godzilla: King of the Monsters and Godzilla 1985. Then, you had the goofier kind of movies like all the Godzilla Versus stuff, where he shows down against mecha versions of himself, Mothra and Rodan, etc., etc. So, when they gave the ol' gritty reboot sort of re-imagining to Godzilla, I figured it was going to be the former. The latter with all the Batman Begins seriousness attached to it… it's just sort of stupid.
Something seems to be fundamentally wrong with this remake from its very core, judging by this article by BuzzFeed. Citing an inability of knowing "what to do" with Bryan Cranston, a brilliant and award-winning actor seems odd. Perhaps the script should have given him more to do, instead of focusing its energies on others, less interesting characters. The advertising and marketing executives behind the film's release seemed to have realized this, and that's why he's front and present in the trailers, because he's a draw that audiences would happily go see. Aaron Taylor-Johnson, the true non-Godzilla star of the movie, and Elizabeth Olsen, the separated wife of the star, just aren't as interesting.
The tone of the movie from the get-go is very much "this is serious stuff," with Godzilla's origins treated with the utmost sincerity. And that's fine. I mean… if you're going to adapt such goofy material, why not treat it like it's serious stuff? My issue is why did they decide to abandon the idea of Godzilla as a bad guy and decide to make him a good guy and sort of betray the terror that they worked so hard to establish in the beginning?
Early on, the makers of the movie seemed to display a general lack of knowledge of how the real world actually seems to work. Ford Brody, played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, comes home from duty to his wife and child after having been away from them for a long time. It's a wonderful, small, intimate homecoming. He gets a call. His dad Joe has been arrested in Japan. He sighs. Time to go to Japan, he supposes. It's indicated that the Brody's wealth had been exhausted by his father's insanity and obsession with Godzilla. So, as a regular dude who no longer has the comforts available to him for the rich and famous, how can he so simply and easily afford to just drop everything and fly overseas?
These types of movies in the past 10 years wouldn't be complete without an image of the Statue of Liberty destroyed. That's how you know when things have gotten rough—when Lady Liberty is in a state of decay.
The performances across are generally pretty okay. David Strathairn and Ken Watanabe are always welcome sights in an ensemble. Juliette Binoche seems a bit out of place, but adds an amount of elegance to her brief role in the beginning. None of this matters once Godzilla starts swinging his tail about and battling other gargantuan beasts because the plot completely comes to a standstill and steps aside and waits for him to do his thing, which seems to take hours. The action, though technically impressive, is a bit dull. We've all seen these kinds of destructive movies before, so why can't they do something new to keep us intrigued? For a movie that seemed to be so interested in the human element in a Godzilla story, the filmmakers seemed to forget that they even existed at all. I would be interested in seeing a ground-level version a Godzilla movie and how absolutely terrifying it would be to be in his path. Not a Cloverfield clone, more like a Night of the Living Dead for teenagers with a massive budget.
This new Godzilla isn't a failure. It delivers on what it promises it will; it's just that it hints at more that never happens to arrive. Incredible actors are wasted in favor of green-screened effects and the spectacle at the end is something of a bore. If you're interested in a contemporary Kaiju from an American studio, Pacific Rim actually delivers on all the goofy, grinning idiocy it promises and never fools itself into thinking it's anything other than brain dead entertainment.

CHR Global specializes in identifying and placing superior candidates at the highest levels in the organizations. Our dedicated consultants possess the requisite expertise to find the most qualified leaders for businesses across a variety of industries. Serving some of the top Indian Business Houses, the CHR Global team provides unparalleled commitment, experience and trust in the recruitment of your organization's most critical employee, the CEO.
CEOs and the top executives impact the strategy in the most significant way, which is all about growing the business exponentially. The success of a project is on selecting the right candidate and this candidate doesn't necessarily have to be from a competing company. This is an important factor which CHR Global really believes in. It depends on the Key Result Areas of the job, which are different for different companies in various industries. Conceptualising, Assimilating, Analysing, converging and from works to a person is all about the critical search, or out of box, in our parlance.
Some of the places where we have changed the mindset of the organisation vis-a-vis the position or sourced candidates from an entirely different industry are:
Whenever we meet our client for the first time, for a critical position for his organisation, we ask him only one question:
Our strength lies in the fact of converting Business Strategy and breaking down into the KRAs for the top executives. And then we jointly agree on 3–5 KRAs of the job. We never drive the search from the person point of view because in most of the cases the client describes the job starting by the description of the person.
Emphasizing 80% success of proper search lies in the fact of identifying and articulating the right KRAs which we strongly feel is the job of the consultant, where the consultant plays the driving role for the client. We define the job through KRAs. And of they are properly articulated / defined would virtually immediately throw out the right industry to source the candidate from, and it doesn't have to be a competing industry at all.
In many of the cases we have sourced people from a different industry than the clients in which the KRAs of the job are the strength areas of the organisation.
CHR Global follows a unique Search Cycle to provide you with the candidate along with the MoU. It is described as follows:

How do you whip up excitement for the ninth season of a TV drama? That was the conundrum facing The Walking Dead before its return last night, a series that even its staunchest apologists would concede has not been firing on all cylinders for about four years now.
Last year's finale achieved the lowest end-of-season ratings since season one, and you can hardly blame the viewing public for jumping ship. A general throb of ennui is an understandable reaction to the show's endless cycle of mud, moaning and misery – a cycle that looks set to continue without resolution for another lucrative decade, if the producers get their way.
In calling the season premiere A New Beginning, it appears the programme-makers are acutely aware of this. It represents one of many new beginnings, not least of which is the installation of a new showrunner, Angela Kang, to oversee all things undead from here on out. It is also the first time in a couple of seasons that Jeffrey Dean Morgan's Negan isn't wedged front-and-centre as the primary antagonist – great news for anyone for whom his backwards-leaning, Foghorn Leghorn shtick wore thin. There has also been a year-and-a-half time jump, meaning Rick has got a new haircut, Gabriel has got a new hat, Pollyanna Mcintosh has got a new vocabulary, cute romances between central characters have bloomed, and the gang has generally been busy building things out of wood and not being eaten, bludgeoned or shot. To top it all off, there are some new, whizzy, graphic novel-esque opening credits.
But is this premiere enough to keep viewers from abandoning it in their hordes? Sadly, I do not think it is.
Things started promisingly enough. Much has been made in the producers' pre-season hubbub about the group visiting the crumbling ruins of Washington DC, providing welcome visual respite from the dreary trees and fields of Georgia. And, yes, they do go there, but not for very long, and the reason behind the trip, in true Walking Dead style, is so idiotic you can feel your brain cells explode. They are there to purloin pre-industrial farming machinery – ploughs and horse-drawn carts and whatnot – from a museum. Yes, they have traveled halfway across the country to nick hoes and stuff. It makes no sense at all.
Nevertheless, as an opening salvo, these early scenes do offer whiffs of a show renewed. They are exciting, and at least it feels as if our band of survivors is actually doing something.
Soon, focus returns to the complex politics required to keep the Hilltop, Alexandria and the Sanctuary running in harmony, allowing for plenty of knotty disagreements between our main players. By the end of the second episode there have been some gruesome kills, some superbly tense action, one profoundly unpleasant injury and Daryl has punched the bloke who played Charles Vane in Black Sails right in the middle of the face. All in all, it is really not too bad.
Crucially, we are permitted to witness a smidgen of what these characters have been fighting for. They laugh with each other, indulging in actual chats that are not stuffed with dialogue so ripe it sounds as if it has been lifted from Pearl Harbor's deleted scenes. They struggle with day-to-day issues such as food supplies, justice and forgiveness, all of which come laden with their own complicated admin. They are thinking about the future. No evil, snarling baddie has yet reared its evil, snarling head. It is calmer. Instead of the bombastic season openers of years gone by, the show seems as if it is settling into the soap opera-with-zombies it has always threatened to be.
That, for many people, will be the problem. The show has never purported to have a "they are looking for a world-saving cure" arc bubbling away in the background. Ending the apocalypse is not what the show is about, and for better or worse it never has been. What The Walking Dead has always done is busy itself with mini-arcs: the group finds a new home, it turns out the home is not as safe as they thought, some violence occurs, someone dies, they move on, and repeat. This cookie-cutter pattern has grown tiresome over nine years, but at least it was something to invest in. Here, we find ourselves at the beginning of a new, nascent mini-arc. As such, if you were looking for an opportunity to quit and do something else with the extra 16 hours a year, you will be hard pressed to find a better one.
We have not even touched on the elephant in the room, either. The impending exit of Andrew Lincoln's Rick Grimes has been the major talking point between seasons, and perhaps some will keep watching simply to see how this comes about, like unhinged, morbid rubberneckers. But, like the moments of panic before the dentist sticks a giant needle into you, waiting for the inevitable is never fun. Knowing Rick is leaving is bad enough, but The Walking Dead's time-old pattern of saving big events for season openers and finales means we also have a fair idea of when it is coming. Hanging around simply to see something we have been told is going to happen feels like a chore.
It is not all doom and gloom. If you have always preferred the show when the narrative has concerned itself more with the ins-and-outs of survival as opposed to battling some big bad, then this may be your favourite opener in years. You might also think the show has earned a fair crack before you pass judgment and abandon it. Again, entirely fair enough. Plus, Samantha Morton's joining the cast soon and, lest it need pointing out, Samantha Morton is brilliant.
There is a colossal amount of good TV available at the moment, and a distressingly finite number of hours to cram it into. A decade-old zombie show that, in recent years, has plopped out as many appalling episodes as good ones might not be considered by some to be the best use of that time. You could be watching Killing Eve instead. Or Wynonna Earp – that's a lot of fun. Ozark, maybe. How about Bosch? Bosch is good.
So is The Walking Dead, I suppose. But with so many alternatives, is it good enough? After eight years, it is with a heavy heart that I say: no, it isn't.
The Walking Dead continues Mondays, 9pm, on Fox

So, I thought I'd start us out right and start with a fish recipe I tried a couple weeks ago. I got this recipe from http://www.edf.org/page.cfm?tagID=1521 which helps you make choices about which fish are safe to consume and most sustainably farmed. I believe it is important to make informed decision about your food. Everything you eat has an impact on our environment and our environment has a direct impact to the health and well being of people. If you care about people, you should care about the environment (that's the short version of my rant, more on that later). Here is a little guide you can print out to help you make informed decisions (click on it to make it bigger and print):

Nike Air Foamposite One
Nike Lil Penny Posite

A decoupled Posite upper, with reflective detailing, retains iconic styling while affording you more flexibility, a change of pace from Posites of the past.

The season may be winding down, but as the saying goes, basketball never stops. Catch Lil Penny at a court near you this summer — and this time, he won't be rocking big brother's hand-me-downs.

The fourth Nor-Easter storm in as many weeks had Tom and I out skiing deep powder well into the later days of March! We have thoroughly enjoyed our first winter being able to ski mid-week and despite some tough conditions in late January and into February, early season and March have been terrific! To tell the truth, though, it was actually quite helpful to have poor ski conditions mid-winter since we had huge projects standing between us and a summer of successful cruising in the Mediterranean on our new sailboat.
Here's an update on what we've been up to – this video will cover it in some detail or you can read about the details below!
Our boat construction is underway and is right on track to be turned over to us in early May … AND, we have an official hull number. 'What's a hull number', you ask? Well, every boat within a specific boat model is assigned a sequential hull number according to the order the boat is manufactured. The first boat of a new model is hull # 1 and, for as long as that model of boat is created, the hull number continues to incrementally increased! When we looked at the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 440 last October, we were aboard hull number 3 since the model had just been launched! Our boat will be hull number 40 – I wonder how many Sun Odyssey 440's will be made!
The shipment of our equipment and gear could be going better but we think we'll still be ok on timing if nothing further delays progress. The shipping company picked our stuff up on February 16 but our things didn't make it into a container and on their way away from the US until late March. The projected arrival in Rotterdam is April 6. After arrival in the Netherlands, the shipment will go through customs and then be transported over the road to where our boat will be commissioned and launched, Canet-en-Roussillon on the Mediterranean coast of France. Our boat is scheduled to arrive there in pieces around mid-April and since some of the things we shipped are to be installed on the boat, we hope customs clearance doesn't take too long!
Finally, the biggest news of all is that we were granted long-stay tourist visas for France so we can stay up to a year if we wanted or needed to. I go into significant detail in the video about all that we needed to supply to convince the French authorities that we wouldn't be a burden on their society. I understand all of the requirements and was happy to provide the detail. The process was smooth and the people at the French Consulate couldn't have been more helpful! We are very excited to be able to remain in the waters around the Schengen states for longer than 90 days!

Retirement After 48 Years Service
2nd August 2016
Alan Bright retired on the 29th July 2016 after giving Houlton 48 years service. Alan joined Houlton in June 1968 as an apprentice Joiner and progressed as a Joiner, Foreman Joiner, General Foreman and then Site Manager where he was involved in projects for the old Fruit Market, East Riding College and Low Petergate in York, plus many, many, others.
Alan's father before him, Frank Bright, also had 31 years service with the company, including being a founder Director of Drypool Plant Ltd, our plant and transport subsidiary.
Houlton organised a meal at Ask in Hull with a guest list of Alan's friends and colleagues to mark the occasion. He was presented with a large, curved screen TV, garden centre vouchers, and two bottles of special Gin, of which he is a bit of a connoisseur!
Alan is looking forward to spending time with his grandchild, gardening, walking, travelling, and continuing to follow Formula One.
Everyone at Houlton would like to thank Alan for his long and loyal service and wish him well for the future.<< Back to News

IN response to the letter printed in the Guardian on February 13 from Mr J Jordan, may I suggest that if he wishes to witness something more impressive and exciting all he has to do is visit Knutsford on a day when it is raining. The added mix of umbrellas in use is a sight to behold.
In fact, if Cheshire East was to perform a Health and Safety audit for Princess Street in Knutsford during a rainy day, it would probably fail, resulting in the street being forced to close during rain.

There are few Hollywood celebrities who are as open and honest with their fans as Ryan Reynolds. This guy is witty, funny, and he doesn't hold back, ever. Reynolds portrays a lot of hilarious roles, but his character Wade Wilson, AKA Deadpool, is quite similar to his true personality.

Cyprus 1st Division previews Sunday 10 February
- Updated: February 10, 2019
Cyprus 1st Division previews Saturday 9 February: Big games today
Its Game Week 20 in the Cyprus 1st Division and on Sunday we have three matches. APOEL will visit Paralimni in the early game. Omonia has a must win game against Doxa and AEK will host Alki in the late game.
Sunday 10 February
Enosis vs APOEL 16:00 Stadio Tasos Markou, Paralimni
8.50 – 4.80 – 1.29 -Bet NOW with Winmasters
With Apollon and AEL playing a draw yesterday, APOEL now has a chance to go 3 points ahead at the top. It will not be easy though against a pretty good home side Enosis who themselves want to increase the gap to the relegation zone.
Enosis got a big win last weekend as they beat Alki Oroklini 1-2. At home they had been good, but they have lost their last two at the Tasos Markou. 0-1 to Doxa and 1-2 to AEL. They have a 3-2-4 record at the moment at home. Enosis will miss their goalkeeper Klaiman from this man and the youngster Petrou will start for his first match this season. Starting line-up: Petrou – Sarr, Shcherbakov, Kosma, Hambardzumyan, Oliva, Vallianos, Glavina, Fytanidis, Maisuradze, Gozlan
APOEL need a win here. Not just because of the 3 point gap but also for their psychology as they have failed to lose their last two home games against opposition that they were expected to beat easily. They are yet again struggling offensively against deep defending team which is strange as they have Moussa Al-Tamari back. He is a player who can open defenses but has not yet been at his best since returning from the Asian Cup. APOEL has been the best away team in the league so far with a 7-1-1 record. Their only loss on the road coming against AEK. APOEL starting line-up: Waterman – Ioannou, Merkis, Vouros, Caju – Morais, Souza – Jakolic, Zahid, Al-Tamari – Natel
Enosis line-up looks quite week so APOEL to win by at least 3 goals.
Omonia vs Doxa 17:00 GSP Stadium, Nicosia
1.44 – 4.10 – 7.25 -Bet NOW with Winmasters
Important match for the hosts who are desperate to get into the Top-6. With Nea Salamina losing yesterday, they have a chance to cut the deficit to 1 point with 2 rounds still remaining. Doxa still needs points for the relegation battle but they are fairly safe at the moment.
Omonia got a big win last weekend over Ermis which still kept them in the hunt for a top-6 spot. They are already knocked out from the cup so that is their only chance to try and get into Europe. Omonia is a good home team with a 5-1-3 record and they already beat Doxa once this season so they will look to do that again here.
Doxa will struggle this season. Their main striker Berat Sadik left to Spain and their offense is no longer that good anymore. At the moment they look like a very average team. Their away form is 2-1-6 with their only wins coming against APOEL and Enosis. They will only miss Artabe and they get back some important players like Pavlov and Muchtaris to this match.
Omonia to win by at least 2 goals
AEK vs Alki 18:00 AEK Arena, Larnaca
1.21 – 5.90 – 12.00 -Bet NOW with Winmasters
AEK has gotten their mojo back since their change in head coach and they are now favourites to get the 4th position this season. Alki has not won in a while and they have dropped to 10th position.
The biggest change since the new head coach has been that they are more offensive now. AEK likes to attack and the players play better like that. Now they also have three new players who have given a spark to the team. Sastre, Suarez and Aquino are all good players and it would not be surprising if they can even challenge the top-3 still this season if any of them would fall into bad form. This game will be difficult though due to absentees. AEK will be without Hevel, Tete and Garcia due to suspension and Taulemesse and Gonzales due to injuries. Sastre ad Ioannou are doubts also.
Alki Oroklini has played some close games recently and gotten a couple of good results like away draws against Anorthosis and APOEL. Now though, the offensive line of AEK might be too strong. Alki is 2-2-5 on the road this season. Alki will be without Ivan Carlos who is suspended. He is an important offensive player and he will be difficult to replace.
With AEK missing key players and Alki missing main offensive player, the main pick is under 2.5 goals.

Our children live in a busy world of busy parents, school pressure, video games and competitive sports. These influences can be very stressful for them.
Yoga can help counter these pressures. It teaches children to develop coordination, self-awareness, confidence and self-esteem as they stretch and strengthen their bodies. Postures grow and develop like children. Children learn health and relaxation techniques that will help them better manage stressors and pressures throughout their lives.
Yoga also brings a lot of fun with partner poses, creative moments and storytelling. I'm sure your child will love these yoga classes!

Q: the discount code is not working for me for a 6 month prepaid subscription Asked by Laurel Z., June 2020
Hi Laurel! The discount code only applies on month to month subscriptions, as the six month subscription is already discounted! :)
Q: The box that is shown on Facebook on your page is that the items I would receive for my first box if I order before the 31st?Asked by Hayden T., March 2020
Hi Hayden! If you subscribe today you will receive our April Crate which has yet to be revealed.
Q: The code doesn't work at check out. Asked by Valeriya T., October 2019
I have 3 dogs and we all love and look forward each month to receiving our box, all the different treats we receive are fantastic, my boys have not turned any down yet. The toys are so different and fun, things I have never seen before!! The mom items are so much fun, it's like Christmas every month.
Max and I love our PupMom Crate. It's exciting for both of us and he knows exactly what it is every time I sit down to open it with him. I appreciate the different type of toys and treats that come in it. The variety lets us play together and entertains him if I can't play. And all the mom products have been great for me too! This picture is him with toys from a few of the boxes. He was tuckered right out from playing tug of war with the bunny's ears and fetching the pig HA! So much fun!
The boys and I get excited when we see Pup Mom crate has arrived! Shiloh favors the treats; he is such a foodie! Grant would agree with Shiloh but his ultimate favorite are the toys, especially the ones that squeak! As for me, I love the quirky, fun and useful products I get! So far I have to say my favorite has been the travel coffee cup that says "Send Dog Pics"! I use that all the time!
Such a fun monthly box to get! I tried some other "beauty boxes" and it was too much stuff I won't use. I've also done other dog toy boxes that resulted in my dog accumulating WAY too many toys. This is the best of both worlds!! It has a few treats and toys for the pup, while also giving me just a few beauty products! It's perfect!
My fur baby and I love this subscription! We look forward to it every month. We started the subscription January 2020. Every month has a great mix of "fur baby and fur mama" products. There has only been one treat she didn't care for, so we gifted it to a friend. The toys are all great quality and durable. So far she hasn't destroyed any and she is known for tearing up stuffed animals. Thank you again!
Pup Mom crate is the best of both worlds!!
We look forward to this box every month. He absolutely loves the toys and treats. It is nice to treat myself and my dog to gifts every month. Overall very good boxes, I've told a few of my friends about it also! Highly recommend! Love seeing the surprises for the both of us.
I look forward to this box every month as well as my dog. He absolutely loves the toys and they instantly become his new favorite upon opening.
The gifts for me have been really good also. This month I got a hand/body wash that smells fantastic I already used it, plus a sweet number one dog mom plaque.
Overall a very good box, I've told a few of my friends about this box also! Highly recommend
Hi Stacey! Thank you so much for your review. We are so glad to hear that both you and your pup are enjoying your Crates. We really appreciate the recommendation! <3

Privacy used to mean something, but that's not the case anymore as multiple entities are keeping tabs on online users in one way or another. A lot of people didn't like the idea of being watched at first but as time passed, they came to terms with it. However, there are still a lot of users who crave privacy and are looking for ways to get it. They don't want any of their activity to be seen by anyone else and that's understandable. However, government, internet service providers, and ad agencies aren't making things easy. As soon as someone connects to the internet, each and every one of their activity shows up online, and there just isn't any way around it. However, there is no need to lose hope, as VPN services have come up with a solution.
VPN Services
VPNs are mostly used just to visit blocked content on the web, and that's what most people think they are capable of. They don't realize that even free VPNs like FalcoVPN come equipped with privacy and security features. The problem with VPNs is that they aren't marketed in a way most of the online products are and that has been working against them. People only make use of them when they have to visit any blocked site, when in reality, VPNs can do so much more. They can take care of internet throttling which is a huge issue faced by a lot of users, they come with tools that keep people secure from online threats, and most importantly, they can help them stay hidden from the prying eyes at all times.
The point is, they are not the tools for accessing blocked sites only, they offer much more, but due to lack of awareness about them, nobody pays attention to them. Even the VPNs' official websites boast about their unblocking potential when they should be talking about privacy, internet throttling, and security protocols. The creators of VPN know that people who will be visiting their site would just be looking for the mundane features, and that's the reason they have only mentioned them on their homepage. Other features are talked about as well, but aren't highlighted and that seems to be the major problem. However, now that privacy has become a huge concern for the people, it's time to give VPNs the attention that they deserve. VPNs will have to take an initiative and market their privacy and security protocols, as they are the only solution to the lack of privacy these days. What do these VPNs offer in terms of privacy and how do they successfully achieve it, has been explained below.
Privacy Through VPN
As soon as users enable VPNs on their device, their current IP is completely hidden and their server is changed to a completely different location. Once they are on a different server with a different IP, all of their activity becomes hidden from the main network. The internet service provider will still see that the packets are being used, but they won't be able to see what sites users are visiting or what is it they are doing. This makes it the most private platform available. People who crave privacy have tried all sorts of things and none of them have actually worked, however, with a decent VPN, internet users can easily stay safe from the prying eyes.
Gaining Privacy via Best VPN
If you are among the people who are still looking for a way to browse the internet privately, then you should get a VPN as well. VPNs come in all shapes and sizes – it all really depends on how much you need it. If you want to stay private the whole time, then invest in one that provides you with a ton of server locations without any limitations on bandwidth. These VPNs are paid but are well worth the price. They have servers in multiple locations around the globe – first and third party. However, going for the VPN with first party servers is your best bet. They are not relying on anyone for their product and that's very important.
One thing you should keep in mind though is that some of the VPNs keep log of your activity and a tool that claims to ensure privacy shouldn't do this. So, look for a VPN that does not keep any kind of logs whatsoever, otherwise your investment would go to waste. You will still be under someone's radar, it just happens to be a different individual at the end. To sum it all up – look for a VPN that has multiple server locations, has no bandwidth limitation, has first party servers, and it doesn't keep activity logs. Any VPN that checks out these boxes is an ideal VPN and is safe to invest in.

Like a good single, a terrible one reveals itself with airplay and forbearance. I don't want to hate songs; to do so would shake ever-sensitive follicles, and styling gel is expensive. I promise my readers that my list will when possible eschew obvious selections. Songs beloved by colleagues and songs to which I'm supposed to genuflect will get my full hurricane-force winds, but it doesn't mean that I won't take shots at a jukebox hero overplayed when I was at a college bar drinking a cranberry vodka in a plastic thimble-sized cup.
XTC – "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead"
PEAK CHART POSITION: #1 in May 1992
Nostalgists who like Kate Bush drew strength from an increasingly fussy studio craft but unlike Bush devolved into a miscellany of influences, XTC were at the peak of their American careers when they released 1992's Nonsuch. Oranges and Lemons ruled the college chart in early '89, with "The Mayor of Simpleton" and "King for a Day" making significant MTV and pop radio inroads. That album, one of the least essential double albums in history released at the height of phony Beatlemania, itself built on the patient word-of-mouth embrace of 1986's Skylarking, produced by Todd Rundgren in one of the decade's coups; I suspect "Dear God" became a succès de scandale because nobody expected such an adolescent bleat from the Swindon trio at that point in their careers.
As gesture designed to shake the act from their hermetic crouch, "Dear God" worked, but give me the two albums recorded after singer-guitarist Andy Partridge's admission of stage fright. Often maladroit in its wrestling with programmed drums that pound home the inscrutability of half the material, The Big Express (1984) was a death wheeze of an album, climaxing with Partridge imitating a locomotive on "Train Running Low on Soul Coal" as well as Kate Bush imitated turning into a donkey on 1982's "Get Out of My House." Even better is Mummer (1983), where Partridge and bassist-songwriter Colin Moulding issue one of the more defiant anti-funk albums recorded by white people yet in "Great Fire," "Love on a Farmboy's Wages," and "Ladybird" they offered compensatory acoustic material.
In short, an honorable and even exciting career, and I haven't even mentioned Drums and Wires, Black Sea, and English Settlement, the fruits of their post-punk years. But Nonesuch is moldy figs: the first distended album in their discography. If like for me Nonsuch introduced you to these people, then imagine hearing "The Smartest Monkey," "Holly Up on Poppy," and "War Dance," among the clunkiest performances in the XTC canon. Gus Dudgeon might have been a fascinating selection on Goodbye Yellow Brick Road alone, but the producer's solution to clarifying XTC's talent for contortion was to straighten the arrangement lines; Nonsuch is a parody of the "Beatlesesque."
Writing a Beatlesque ode to John F. Kennedy or a man like him killed for "making too many enemies" is so beyond what I expect XTC to have done in 1992 that it's like expecting Madonna to duet with Lee Ranaldo. The clippety-clop rhythm, abandoned harmonica, and zealously mixed drums are gauche. worst is Patridge's vocal, straining for an earnestness that worked on tracks like "This World Over," with their generous apportionment of space: he sings through his teeth, as if Lee Harvey Oswald were holding Partridge's children at gunpoint. In a way "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" is the culmination of a decade's worth of exploring sixties: testing them, subverting them, abandoning them. With its open embrace of the dying king ("Hooray for Peter Pumpkinhead!"), XTC's last American crossover embraces the myth that it starts to limn. If only the band had shot its video as if it were "Roll With It."
If only I hadn't heard Crash Test Dummies' cover — man, imagine nostalgia for nostalgia.

These days, bodybuilding has undergone quite a few changing developments. Not only is it a person's passion, but it is also been included in the set of different professions. It's no more about lifting heavy weight load every day, a few bench presses before every workout and loads of pushups every now and then. Bodybuilding today has incorporated the concept of the 'bodybuilding supplement'. Most bodybuilders find it as important as working out and training for successful development of muscles. However, one needs to be aware when using any supplement-it might be significantly effective, however, not 'all good'.
Choosing the best bodybuilding supplement:
One needs to be extra careful when choosing any bodybuilding product. With the ever-increasing demand for these supplements, numerous sly developers have come up with cheap and harmful pills and creatine that are not only ineffectual for bodybuilding, but also lead to a number of adverse side effects. Most advertisements on TV SET and in newsletter e-mail include such unsafe supplements, plus its highly recommended that you do a careful study beforehand, prior to the final choice of the product. It is highly recommended that you do exhaustive research on the contents of any bodybuilding supplement (with the help of an authorized lab). If nothing else works, make sure that you check with with your dietician or a medical expert. Certain so-called 'vitamin', 'protein' and 'natural' supplements are banned by the regulatory regulators because to be excessively harmful to the human body.
Some side-effects:
- Particular ingredients and harmful chemicals are believed to have undesirable effects on the expansion of hormones, particularly in men. This imbalance of human hormones results is caused by endocrine glands dysfunction, and could lead to various undesirable effects on the human body. Teenagers are the most susceptible to this. Gynecomastia is also proved to be caused by these harmful supplements, apart from several other reasons for it. Teenagers may also get problems related to the reproductive system, and are advised to avoid any such supplements and pills.
- The nervous system and coordination are other bodily systems that Trenbolone Cycle are reported to have been affected by 'cheap' bodybuilding supplements. So that they can get boosted results, the overdose of so-called 'super-supplements' may reduce the coordination features in a person, increasing the reaction time to any reflex action.
- There are supplements on the market that encourage bodybuilders to replace their regular meals with the supplement. This is well known as 'overdrive' in the craze of bodybuilding, and by no means is it medically advised. Not only does it make you lose the essential nutrients you should get from your natural diet, but it also will cause something worse-you may even experience mild digestive problems.
- There are rumours that a certain kind of bodybuilding supplement may also have adverse outcomes on the memory of a person, especially if taken on a long-term foundation. Though it is yet to be medically proven, some gyms have already placed a complete ban on the use of all types of bodybuilding supplements. To them, an increase of few kilograms of weight is not worth jeopardizing the health of a person. They look to promote the 'natural' kind of bodybuilding, and never the artificial one, which in truth proves to be momentary.
The final verdict:
Dietary supplements could be one way to gain a few pounds of weight, but there are certainly other alternatives available and worth trying instead. Certain muscle building supplements have been documented to cause adverse and irreversible effects on the body, thus, making them even unwanted. Teenagers specifically are suggested to abstain from any such treatment. If you're an adult and understand all the complexities associated with taking supplements, you may proceed to use any bodybuilding supplement once you it is recommended by a healthcare professional.

By Matthew E. Milliken
March 29, 2016
Frontera, the 1984 first novel by Lewis Shiner, chronicles a mission to Mars undertaken by a small, ragtag group of astronauts who harbor multiple secrets and varying agendas. Shiner uses the tale to explore the nature of humanity, asking what happens when traditional governmental and national structures fail due to decisions both intentional and otherwise.
The novel is set at some point in the early 21st century. Ten years ago, as governments around the world began collapsing for unspecified reasons, a ship was sent to Mars to recall colonists from the American base at Frontera. A few dozen souls opted to stay behind; later, their numbers were reinforced by survivors of a disaster (also unspecified) that struck the Soviet Union's colony on Mars. Frontera sent a few grim transmissions in the two years following the recall, but the updates stopped, and most people believe all the colonists to be dead.
The travelers are quite an eclectic lot: Lena, the expedition's medico, whom Shiner gives such shallow treatment that she barely exists as a character; Takahashi, scion of the Japanese affiliate of Pulsystems, the corporation that is sponsoring the flight to Mars; Kane, the nephew of Morgan, Pulsystem's über-capitalist CEO; and Reese, an aging astronaut who was the first American to set foot on Mars, and who never wanted to leave the red planet but did so because (apparently) he was duty-bound to staff the return flight.

Binance Exchange Plans to Partner With Ripple to Boost XRP-Powered xRapid
|Binance XRP Trading Pair
"We'refocused on launching more options proper now, so we're working with a variety of other companions. With xRapid, there's practically nothing going on correct now, but inside the foreseeable future we'll definitely wish to add them to be a lover."
Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao claims the top crypto trade will "definitely" husband or wife with Ripple to spice up its XRP-powered payment resolution xRapid.
To date, Zhao says the two firms haven't however started to hammer out the small print and for that fast long run, Binance continues to be targeted on launching Binance Chain and its forthcoming decentralized exchange BinanceDEX
The process is built to have a few minutes from beginning to complete, together with the degree of time the resources are in XRP limited to an issue of seconds.
Ripple made xRapid for being a regulatory-compliant way for global providers to maneuver dollars while not having to park fiat in financial institution accounts close to the globe. Ripple's Cory Johnson suggests its crypto exchange partners are going to be critical for global adoption of xRapid, and will "allow us to provide monetary establishments with the consolation and assurance that their payments will shift seamlessly involving diverse currencies."
Ripple has already partnered with crypto exchanges Bittrex, Bitso, Cash.ph and Bitstamp to boost liquidity for xRapid. The exchanges could make it achievable for monetary institutions to convert their regional currency to XRP and send the digital asset to another country, where it is immediately transformed back again to fiat.
Thank You

"At current estimates, the projected F-35 sustainment outlays based upon given planned fleet growth will strain future service operations and support budgets," the report said. Lockheed also "must embrace much-needed supply chain management affordability initiatives, optimize priorities across the supply chain for spare and new production parts" and share the data rights to certain F-35 software with the Pentagon.Story here.
Another story hitting what I posted yesterday but I missed this juicy nugget.
This airplane that we've labored so hard to build over more than a decade is still going to be draining budgets dry.
This is concerning.
The USMC is buying the F-35B. Supposedly the plan was to buy the plane, clear the budget and to upgrade the rest of the service once aviation was taken care of.
Now we see that this plane will be a continuing drain on resources.
The pain won't stop after the plane is put into service. No. It will continue for decades more.
We need a plan B.
The USMC MUST JOIN THE US NAVY IN BUYING THE SUPER HORNET!!!

Sleep Apnea Treatments Overview
The disorder known as sleep apnea is characterized by continued stops in your breathing while you sleep. This is caused by the muscles relaxing and gravity pulling your airways closed. The brief suffocation that occurs puts excessive strain on the body, which may cause complications, like mood change, weight gain, fatigue, hypertension, and memory loss. There are lots of sleep or snoring apnea treatments to choose from, such as an adenoidectomy, maxillofacial surgery, tonsillectomy, or a CPAP device. However, people aren't always pleased with these solutions. In that situation, they may turn to dental alternatives to help address the issue. At Finest City Dental in San Diego, CA, we concentrate on producing custom-fit nighttime guards to offer relief to our sleep apnea patients. General dentist Dr. Nick Dovey is pleased to offer you this simple but dependable support piece that will help you reach better health and well-being.
Best Candidates for Sleep Apnea Treatments
Individuals who suffer from severe sleep apnea aren't ideal candidates to receive a dental-based remedy. For severe sleep apnea, a CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machine could be among your better choices. However, in the case that you have a mild to moderate snoring issue, a dental alternative might be exactly what you're looking for. Sleep apnea can be harmful because it stops you from breathing naturally hundreds of times each night as the cells in your soft palate and throat collapse. When this occurs, your airway is obstructed, which prevents oxygen from reaching your brain and other organs. It's essential to have this condition diagnosed properly and treated using only the very best options available.
What To Expect with Sleep Apnea Treatments
Sleep apnea therapy provided by Dr. Dovey at Finest City Dental employs what's known as oral appliance therapy (OAT), which could be an extremely effective treatment for sleep apnea. This therapy involves a customized device that is worn in your mouth at night. The look and feel are often compared to a retainer or an athletic mouth guard. The primary difference, however, is that rather than protecting your teeth from trauma, it softly places the jaw into a forward position to continue to keep your airway open. There are over a hundred unique versions on the market so Dr. Dovey will work with you to ensure that you receive the most suitable device. This can be determined after he performs an evaluation of your tongue, airway, teeth, and jaw. You'll also have oral x-rays done so Dr. Dovey can create detailed impressions of your teeth for your dental appliance.
Sleep Apnea Treatments Follow-Up
After your dental apparatus has been created at the dental laboratory, you will be ready for a fitting. Finest City Dental will then call you to schedule your follow-up appointment. During this appointment, Dr. Dovey will adjust and fit the appliance according to your needs to make it as comfortable as possible. He will devote plenty of time to teach you about your sleep apnea appliance, which will include going over the proper way to maintain, store, and clean it. Dr. Dovey will ask you to bring your appliance to future appointments to monitor its condition. Your overall quality of life will dramatically improve as long as you correctly adhere to our directions.
Sleep Apnea Treatments Insurance Coverage
Insurance benefits for sleep apnea therapies can fluctuate so we'll be sure to speak with your dental insurance company to determine your out-of-pocket expenses. Whether you carry dental insurance or not, Dr. Dovey can give you price estimates while informing you about your treatment choices. To help make your dental appointments more affordable, Finest City Dental accepts several payment methods and can help you in finding low-interest medical financing.
Sleep Apnea Treatments
If your breathing is interrupted numerous times a night due to your airways being obstructed, it's vital that you seek out medical advice straight away. If you think you might be experiencing sleep apnea, we urge you to set up an appointment at Finest City Dental at your earliest convenience. Dr. Dovey and his team can help address your problem with oral appliance therapy at our San Diego, CA office.

With the UEFA Euro 2016 tournament in progress, football (or soccer as we'll use for this feature to avoid any confusion) is top-of-mind for millions of fans around the globe. As I mentioned several weeks back during my interview with the AGA's Geoff Freeman, everyone around me is betting on the Euros. What I hadn't thought of is how daily fantasy play could enhance entertainment for fans while following the tournament.
Mondogoal.com is a daily fantasy soccer site with the largest number of European users and a vision of becoming the "PokerStars" of fantasy sports. Shergul Arshad, the CEO and Founder of Mondogoal has a strong background in soccer, formerly heading up digital strategy for AS Roma and being born and raised in Florence, the sport has been a significant part of his life since day number one.
Seeing as the timing is appropriate, I spoke with Arshad to learn about the massive opportunity in daily fantasy soccer that exists in Europe and what the future holds for this niche of the online gaming industry.
Daily Fantasy Soccer- The Opportunity
According to Arshad, there are two main reasons why he decided to focus his company solely on the daily fantasy soccer market.
1)Soccer is by far the world's largest sport.
As an American, I grew up thinking baseball, American football and basketball were the biggest, most popular sports in the world. Only until I lived in the UK did I realize just how massive soccer is around the world and in fact, the soccer following globally greatly outnumbers the popularity of the sports most prominent in America.
"If you look at the numbers, 70% of the world's sportsbetting dollars are on soccer. If you look at the number of fans, its something like three and a half billion fans", Arshad said.
Basketball has just over five million fans, so as you can see, these soccer stats dwarf the numbers surrounding the biggest American sports.
2)Its a culture that already existed.
The same culture has existed and continues to exist around daily fantasy soccer in Europe as it does around daily fantasy football in America.
"Fantasy soccer has actually been around for thirty years. There were newspaper sites back in the early '90s, late '80s, that were running leagues", Arshad explained.
Why Daily Fantasy Soccer vs. Traditional Sports Betting
You might be asking yourself, why would a football crazed fan choose to participate in fantasy sports rather than simply betting on their favorite team?
I liked Arshad's analogy- the mindset for someone who enjoys daily fantasy sports is akin to the manager who sets the line-up and brags to his peers about picking the right players. Arshad defines daily fantasy soccer (and DFS in general) as more of a skill game and compares the skill element to that of online poker. Simply stated, refined players have better odds of winning than less experienced players.
Another point to remember is daily fantasy soccer is a perfect companion when following tournaments such as the Euros because it allows for players to be involved with all the games, all day long.
Significance of Lottomatica & SISAL Partnerships
Mondogoal have recently announced B2B deals with two of the largest Italian gaming companies, Lottomatica and SISAL. Arshad's plan since launch was to prime his company for partnerships exactly of this nature.
"When we set up Mondogoal, we launched in time for the 2014 World Cup and the immediate goal and vision to be executed upon was to be multi-language, multi-territory, multi-league and multi-currency. So we launched a US site, a UK pound site and then in Italy we've been running in Euros and we've also got now about 20 different leagues from all around the world", shared Arshad.
He continued, "As that grew and permeated into a space that sat next to the sports betting sites, a lot of the sports betting sites were looking at Mondogoal and the world of fantasy soccer as something that was complimentary and maybe something they could partner with. It just so happened that the biggest first two deals came in a soccer crazy country like Italy".
Reaching contractual terms and actually becoming live on both sites in time for the Euros was huge for Mondogoal. Feedback on the product from both Italian companies has been outstanding so far and we can likely expect to see more deals of this nature announced in the future.
Mondogoal's Plans for Expansion
The opportunity for daily fantasy soccer is vast and for Mondogoal, this is just the beginning. Arshad already has aggressive, yet reasonable, plans for expansion.
"We look at a four-pronged approach in regards to growth and we can go from there. Initially it was building credibility and essentially alliances through clubs and federations. Next up was to do some big media deals, so partnerships, for example last year we were the official fantasy soccer partner for Yahoo!", he said.
Arshad continued, "Next up is certainly the betting sites, with Lottomatica and SISAL leading the way, but for us we think that growth can come in an explosive format, specifically explosive in a revenue way, by partnering up with folks who already have done the heavy lifting with the millions of users and depositors that are looking for a new fun game".
Of course there are new territories and new sports on tap for Mondogoal as well.
At the moment, Mondogoal offers cash play in the UK, Ireland and Italy and free-rolls are available for play in countries like France and Germany. Arshad plans to roll out into new territories, especially places like China and the Far East markets where soccer is especially popular.
Eventually new sports will be added into the Mondogoal mix, for example basketball, cricket and rugby, but Arshad projects these sports will only account for 10-20% of the business with soccer accounting for the rest.
