Outgunned! Mark Wahlberg is 'cooked' by the Rock on the set of bodybuilding movie
The Rock would famously ask the crowd if they could smell what he was cooking in his wrestling days.
And he certainly had Mark Wahlberg for breakfast as they showed off their muscles on the set of bodybuilding movie Pain and Gain in Miami today.
The action men teamed up on set as the filmed scenes in Florida today, but there was only going to be one winner in the physique stakes.
Showing off his guns: The Rock humiliated his co-star Mark Wahlberg by displaying his superior biceps on the set of Pain and Gain in Miami today
And the grapple legend, real name Dwayne Johnson, made sure everyone knew it was him by striking a double biceps pose as he larked around between takes.
His famous friend Marky Mark looked like a novice in comparison as she showed off his own arm development in a tight white vest.
And while the 40-year-old former Funky Bunch frontman is a year older than The Rock, he looked like a little boy as he walked beside him as they headed to their ride.
Appropriately enough, they hopped into an American muscle car a scarlet red Pontiac Fiero.
And it seems The Departed star got his own back when it was time to hit the road, as he hopped behind the wheel while the former WWE favourite had to make do with the passenger seat.
No competition: Even when they were relaxed it was obvious which of the pair was in leaner and meaner shape
Little and large: There is little chance of Mark would risk annoying his larger castmate in case he becomes angry
Pain and Gain stars the duo as 'a couple of Florida steroid-abusing knucklehead bodybuilders who become criminals involved in an extortion ring and a kidnapping plot that goes horribly awry'.
The comedy, directed by Michael Bay, also stars Ed Harris, Ken Jeong, and Tony Shalhoub and is based on a real-life events.
In the film, a pair of Floridian bodybuilders in the 'Sun Gym Gang' get caught up in an extortion ring and a kidnapping scheme that goes terribly wrong.
Not so armless: The Rock was revelling in showing off the results of his workout regime as he prepared for the film
The film is based on the true story of steroid-abusing muscle men Daniel Lugo and Adrian Doorbal.
Studio bosses will be hoping the off-beat topic proves to be a hit with the movie-going public.
However it already has a head start, as it has a paltry budget compared to the Transformer directors usual blockbusters.
At $35 million, the film stands as Bay's lowest budgeted film since his feature film debut, the 1995 action-comedy Bad Boys.Two members of the real-life Sun Gym Gang ended up receiving death sentences and currently sit on Florida's death row.
Putting him in his place: But Marky Mark struck back by hopping behind the wheel of their muscle car
Covered up: Perhaps Mark felt intimidated by his more muscular co-star as he decided to wear a long-sleeved top
Marky Mark and the hunky bunch: The muscle car got even more muscular when the trio got in and drove off

With the lack of economic releases yesterday it is unsurprising that trading on financial markets was mostly subdued. Sterling did however continue its mild recovery against the dollar in the run up to Yellen's speech on Friday as it momentarily breached the $1.32 level. The brief recovery of the dollar against the euro following on from hawkish Fed comments on Sunday was short lived as EUR/USD recovered back up to the $1.13-1.1350 range and USD/JPY down near 100. With markets preparing for Yellen's speech in Wyoming on Friday it is likely we could see another day of narrow range bound traRead the full report

Paint contains several kinds of material: pigments, binders, extenders, solvents and additives. The additives themselves can include a vast array of materials, such as dispersants, silicones, thixotropic agents, driers, anti-setting agents, bactericides, and fungicides and algaecides.Continue Reading
All the pigments in paint are used to set the color and opacity. The binder, or resin, is a polymer that forms a matrix to hold the pigment in place. With the extender, large pigment particles are added to improve adhesion, strengthen the film and save on binder. There is also the solvent or thinner, which can either be organic or water, that is used to reduce the viscosity of the paint to make its application better and easier.
Along with those base ingredients, the additives within paint consists of several substances. For example, dispersants are placed in paint to separate and stabilize the pigment particles. There are also silicones, which are used to improve the paint's weather resistance. Driers are placed in paint to accelerate the drying time. Anti-settling agents are used in paint to prevent pigment settling. The final additives in paint are the fungicides and algaecides, which are used to protect exterior paint films against disfigurement from molds, algae and lichen.Learn more about Home Maintenance

Those two-year mobile phone contracts we all signed for so long became a relic of the past pretty quickly over the last two years, with national providers all abandoning ship. T-Mobile moved to "contract freedom" almost two years ago now, and has since then continued to make a big deal over the fact that their users are neither locked into time-locked agreements nor face old-school high data overage fees.

Consumer Advocates Ask Regulators To Investigate T-Mobile Over Advertising, Debt Collection Practices
Banks Urge Congress To Continue Renewing Their "Get Out Of Jail Free" Cards
Nestled deep in the text of the lengthy contracts for most credit cards and bank accounts are little clauses that not only prohibit harmed customers from suing their bank or card issuer, but also prevents them from banding together with similarly injured consumers to argue their dispute as a group. In October, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau announced it would consider limits on these clauses, but now the banking industry is trying to use its leverage with D.C. lawmakers to shut down that process.

CFPB To Consider Rules That Would Revoke Banks' "License To Steal"
The lengthy, often complicated terms of use for more than half of all credit cards — and nearly half of all federally insured bank deposits — include clauses that force customers into arbitration, taking away their right to sue these companies in a court of law and usually blocking them from joining together in a class action. Critics argue that these forced-arbitration clauses allow banks and other businesses to break the law with impunity. Heeding the call of lawmakers and consumer advocates, the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has decided to consider rules that would ban this practice among financial institutions. [More]
CFPB Sues Debt Relief Firm, Alleging It Bilked Customers For $67M
Being in debt can be paralyzing, leaving some people with the feeling like they'll never climb their way out of the hole. So when a company promises it can help ease that burden, it might some like a good idea to spend even more money in the hope that you'll ultimately be pointed in the right financial direction. Federal regulators say one debt relief operation took in $67 million from customers in need of help, but most of that money just went to the firm's fees while the customers' debts continued to pile up.

Retailer That Overcharged, Then Sued Military Personnel Is Going Out Of Business
A year ago, Virginia-based USA Discounters was in the spotlight after the supposedly discount retailer — which had several locations adjoining military bases and directly marketed its financing to servicemembers — was criticized for charging ridiculously high prices on its products and then suing soldiers in such a way that they could rarely defend themselves in court. The retailer then changed its name to USA Living and promised to not be so evil, even though the lawsuits continued. Now comes news that the retailer is going to close up shop for good. [More]

Ask Henry: Does my daughter have too many Facebook friends?
Relevant offers
Hi Henry
My fourteen year old daughter has hundreds of friends on Facebook. Wait I just counted, 847. That's ridiculous right? She seems to hang out with about 10 different people in real life. Why?
Mother of Popular Daughter
Hi Mother of Popular Daughter, can I just call you MoPD?
"Friends" is just a convenient word, what your daughter really possesses is 847 connections. Essentially, they are acquaintances.
Of course, they can possibly see a whole lot more of your daughter's life than regular acquaintances can. And that is understandably troubling.
I have a degree of sympathy however, especially given my 686 friends. Yes, I need a cull, but I accepted all of these people in good faith. I probably know about 100 of these friends well enough to actually talk to regularly - the rest are mostly people I used to go to school with. I went to a pretty big high school where adding people you had only talked to once or twice was pretty usual, and I've been at two universities where class discussions etc lead to a bit of friending too. If your daughter's high school (and probably her intermediate before it) is like that I can understand a whole lot of friends - ignoring a request can seem pretty awkward.
Honestly? Your daughter probably shouldn't be putting ANYTHING on Facebook that she isn't comfortable with a lot of people seeing, unless she has a pretty good grasp of the somewhat confusing privacy settings. Still, if you are worried about this, you have two reasonable options.
1) You could helpfully (or forcefully) suggest that she cull her friend list. Don't let her announce the cull. That looks ridiculously narcissistic. Just get her to go through her friends page and delete those she hasn't talked to in more than a month or two. This is somewhat arduous, and could result in small amounts of awkwardness for her, but is still entirely viable.
2) Lists! Essentially, instead of bothering to delete all those people, you could ask your daughter to create a "close friends" list of people who can see her posts. This list can be as large as she likes - 150 is apparently the most "meaningful connections" a human can have. She will need to go to the "Friends" tab on her profile, then hover over each friend she wants to add to this close list and put them in there. After that she can restrict her content (various amounts of it) to this list, right from the "Privacy Settings" page in that little gear wheel on the top right.
Of course, I'm only assuming you are actually worried about this. You might just be confused. It is definitely not out of the ordinary, and you probably have nothing to worry about. As ever, keep an eye on her activity on the site and on the internet in general. Facebook is actually pretty harmless compared to something like SnapChat.
If you have a techie question you'd like to ask our resident Gen Z expert, email us at email@example.com with Ask Henry in the subject line.

Will you also interview mothers of teenage boys who go wild agaisnt their moms, and kick it into hypergear, looking for a male leader/big brother/father figure? There is major wreakage out there. Daughters are also at risk, big time.
[Portion removed by Palo Alto Online staff due to disrespectful comment or offensive language.} Do you even know the teenagers who are 'created' without a father? The fact that you and others cannot meet "Mr. Right" is no excuse to expiate your angst on the backs of kids. Just don't have kids. Move on with your lives. There is no such thing as "Mr. Right".

Hello ladies! This month I'm thinking aliens. Just regular old aliens, not Aliens (we did that last month). I'm thinking maybe Paul and Mars Attacks, but I'm open to suggestions. Are you feeling more Close Encounters of the Third Kind? Hitchhiker's Guide the the Galaxy? Let me know and we can take a vote.
As per usual, bring an appetizer, dessert, or drink to share. If you can tie it into the theme we will be duly impressed and likely take pictures of your glorious snack.
I had a great time with the girls! The movies were fun and entertaining (despite the bad haircuts) and I really REALLY liked that marshmallow dip. (Please send me the recipe.) ;D

It is great to get together with the girls! Very fun meetup!

Looking forward to seeing everybody tomorrow:) For those of you who haven't been to my house before, there's parking for 7 or 8 cars behind my house in the gravel lot I have instead of a yard. If you drive all the way to the end of my driveway (to the left of the house) there's space to park. But I am in the burbs so street parking is plentiful.

I'm also for The Faculty. If you update with the movies, I'll try my best to make the food match.

On Finding My{Fitness}self Part 1
Life is interesting. It's ever changing and we need to be ever adapting in the wake of those changes.
As a fitness instructor, healthy eating coach and blogger you would think that the one place in my life that is a constant is striving to be (and stay) healthy.
And it is.
But being "healthy" can look so different from person to person, and can look vastly different for the same person year after year.
Which is what has brought me to writing this post.
Only a few short years ago I found myself in a very different place than I am now. I was teaching almost exclusively cardio classes (because that is where the demand was), I was running (more cardio), and teaching way more classes than I ever should have been. I was the energizer bunny – but mostly running on empty.
Then I got sick from it.
I scaled back my class load time and time again. I changed the formats I was teaching to reduce the amount of cardio I was doing, and became a certified yoga instructor.
As time passed, I gave up more and more classes as I was still not feeling well, introduced different forms of strength training classes, obtained my healthy eating and weight loss certification, and started coaching others on developing healthier habits.
I began teaching yoga more regularly and enjoying the benefits of my own practise, while still running races and challenging myself and even becoming a certified running coach.
But even with all those changing I continued having issues with hormonal imbalance and hints of over training syndrome.
Last fall after my half marathon I felt like I'd had enough. My body wasn't enjoying running. My lung (for those who don't know, I have a soft spot on the top of my left lung – which is why I started running to begin with) started enjoying running less and less.
So when 2016 rolled around, I unofficially decided to hang up my running sneakers, and put myself on the "I run only on the odd occasion" list and scrubbed my name from the "runner" list.
After all the movement over the last seven years, my body craves less. It still wants to move and stretch and grow stronger, but it's not interested in spending hours pounding the pavement and stressing my already stressed body further.
I still enjoy teaching Zumba but I find myself trying to sweat less at those classes, because I no longer have any interest in "killing" myself while teaching. I want my participants to leave feeling out they have worked as hard as they'd like, but I don't wish the same for myself.
Instead I want to do cardio for "fun" and not for the calorie burn or the sweat. I want to lift heavy things (and then even heavier things), and I want to stretch and flow on my yoga mat.
With that last one in mind, and remembering I said only a few paragraphs ago how I love the benefits of yoga, that I would be diligently practising at home on a fairly regular basis right? Wrong.
I haven't been practising at home for months. Many months. In fact, I don't recall the last time I unrolled my mat to do yoga at home just to do yoga.
I've felt like if I wasn't purposefully working to improve upon poses I find challenging that there was no point. I felt like I needed to be doing fancy flows in order to live up to the expectations of myself – and perceived expectations of others. And to be honest, I haven't felt the drive to do those things.
Basically I have been doing exactly what I tell my students not to do. Allowing what I feel like I should be doing dictate what I actually do.
I read this article yesterday about a girl who did yoga for 10 minutes/day for a full month and as I read it I was a bit irritated with myself for letting my practise slack this much.
If she can do 10 minutes/day certainly I can do 10 minutes/day. If someone who had never done yoga before can manage 10 minutes /day, surely a YOGA INSTRUCTOR can do the same.
oh hands…. I remember when you use to easily meet up in this pose…
And so I am going to try. I'm going to try to commit to at least 10 minutes of yoga a minimum of 5 x/week. I know, I know, I just said I should be doing it everyday, and I should – but I'm going to be nice to myself and scale my expectations back a little bit.
10 minutes, a minimum of 5x/week.
I can do it, and if this post has struck a cord with you, I'd love for you to join in and commit to doing 10 minutes of yoga 5x/week too!
But yoga is just one part of this puzzle. There are a few things I need to get back on track with before I can really say I've found myself fitness wise.
Part two of my quest to re-find myself will be coming in my next post, and let me just say….she's a beauty 😉
In the above pictures I am wearing the new Tommie Copper Shaping Compression Leggings which are comfortable (not transparent!) and lug you in all the right places for a comfortable compression fit that make you look fabulous! Paired with their compression camisole with adjustable straps which stayed in place through all my bending, twisting, and downward dogging. The cami is super comfortable and is designed to be flattering no matter what your body type. I've layered it under a flowy tank from Fabletics I bought a year or two ago, but could have easily worn it on it's own with no trouble.
The leggings are a bit thick to be wearing much in the summer months, but I will be getting lots of use out of them come fall, and the cami is light enough to be worn year round. Since it doesn't ride up or bunch, it's prefect for under any summer tops or dresses that may show a bit too much for your liking.
Disclosure: Tommie Copper sent me these items in exchange for a review on their website. I was not required or asked to share them with you on my blog, I chose to do so on my own because I liked them so much!
3 Easy Ways To Incorporate Essential Oils Into Your Day
Essential oils have been used for centuries and along with other natural healing methods were the main tools used in medical care until we learned how to create and synthesize drugs and other medications.
I've been an advocate for essential oils for many years, I've said it before and I'll say it a million more times, but peppermint, lavender and tea tree oil especially have saved my life (and sanity) on more than one occasion from the horrible pain of migraines, cramping, abdominal upset, bug bites, and much more.
Did you know our sense of smell is connected to our limbic system? The limbic system is the part of the brain responsible of memory, breathing, blood circulation and the regulation of hormones. I'm sure you can think of scents that instantly transport you to a different time and place in your memory – that is you limbic system at work! So while it may not make sense to you as to "how" essential oils can work, hopefully that example can help convince you that they do tap into that part of the brain, and if a scent can bring back powerful memories, that it can have a therapeutic effect in other ways as well.
As with anything, it can be easy to get carried away when it comes to essential oils and trying to incorporate them into your day to day life. So today I want to share with you three easy ways you can start to enjoy the benefits of essential oils.
To begin, you will need to get your hands on a few essential oils, or essential oil blends. I have a collection of oils that I've build over the years, but have only just recently entered the world of pre-mixed blends. You can of course create your own blends based on your personal needs and tastes, but when starting out it is more cost effective to purchase a few pre-mixed blends, especially if you find some you really enjoy. Personally, my favourite is this Energy blend from Organic Aromas which is a blend of Spearmint, Peppermint, Melissa, Tangerine and Rosewood, and their Purity blend is my second favourite. It combines Lemongrass, Tea Tree, White Camphor, Rosemary, Lavender and Citronella.
The energy blend provides natural glandular support, helps reduce fatigue and anxiety, helps to stimulate the mind and boost energy and may aid in headache relief, while the purity blend helps to cleanse odours, helps to repel insects and vermin, aids in reducing tension and promotes well being, and has anti-viral, anti-microbial and anti-fungal qualities.
Obviously I'm a bit partial to my "big three" (peppermint, lavender and tea tree) but when it comes to starting your own essential oils collection you need to find some scents that you like and will be useful in your life. Sweet Orange is a great starting oil if you like citrus scents. It is the scent preferred by most children (making it a great option for homes with kids) and has been shown to help them overcome fear and reduce anxiety. It is a bright happy scent which is great for helping ease depression and helping us feel a little bit more cheery.
Above all, it's important to choose a scent or blend that you enjoy, if you pick on based solely on what it is suppose to do for you, but you dislike the scent – you are not going to use it!
Once you've chosen your oil, or oil blend(s), it's time to talk about how to use them!
Epsom Salts Bath
A nice aromatherapy epsom salt bath (complete with coconut water) is definitely enjoyable after running a half marathon!
Adding epsom salts infused with your favourite essential oil is a wonderful way to relax and enjoy the benefits of the essential oil after a tiresome day. While running a warm bath, take 1 cup of unscented epsom salts and add 4-6 drops of your favourite essential oil, or essential oil blend in a small bowl and mix. Sprinkle the salts into the bath while the water is still running and then run your hand through the water to help the salts to dissolve. Relax in the tub for 20-30 minutes to allow the epsom salts to work their magic, while massaging any oil droplets you see floating in your bath water into your skin.
Massage Oils/Bars
Getting a professional massage is wonderful, but lots of times it is hard to find the time – or finances – to do so. Adding aromatherapy to an at-home foot massage, back massage, or even to tired achy muscles can give you that spa feel right at home, and you can do it any time day or night! Ever notice that many foot lotions and creams are peppermint scented? That's not an accident! Peppermint provides such wonderful cooling and pain relieving effect that it is a natural choice for our feet and legs. There are lots of different massage oils and massage bars available, so when looking to purchase one, look for one that is made using essential oils and pure ingredients you can pronounce. I enjoy using massage bars from LUSH (especially the WICCY Magic Muscles for muscle aches and pains), but most health food and natural living stores will carry a nice selection of massage oils and bars.
Bonus points if you can find someone willing to give you a back massage using the massage oil or bar! 😉
Essential Oil Diffusers
An essential oil diffuser like this one from Organic Aromas (which is the most effective diffuser of pure Essential Oils on the market) diffuses your chosen essential oil or essential oil blend into the air, allowing you to reap the benefits of aromatherapy easily while adding to your home or office decor! This diffuser silently nebulizes using the Bernoullis Principle, consumes very little energy, and is equipped with a control allowing you to determine how much oil is diffused into your space.
I chose this model because it is sleek and simple, and I thought it would best fit in with our home decor and I like the soft glow it gives off while it's running.
This diffuser uses pure essential oil, no water or heat so it doesn't heat up or create a humidifier like atmosphere when in use while still easily giving off an amazing scent.
If you would like to purchase your own diffuser from Organic Aromas you can use the coupon code: SHAREME to get 15% off your purchase!
I hope this post has helped convince you that adding aromatherapy into your life doesn't have to be difficult or intimidating and I hope you'll give it a try!
Disclosure: I was provided with product from Organic Aromas in exchange for my honest review, and that is what this is. I truly believe in aromatherapy and think if you haven't yet, you should try it yourself!
Your Holistically Hot Transformation Book Review & Giveaway
I have been saving the books I've read so far this month for another round-up at the end of June, but wanted to write a separate post for Marissa Vicario's new book "Your Holistically Hot Transformation" for a couple reasons.
Number one – if you have the Kindle app, right now until Wednesday, June 15th, 2016 you can pick the title up for FREE (click here for Amazon.ca and click here for Amazon.com) and because Marissa was kind enough to offer one of her books (hardcopy – not via Kindle) to one of my readers so keep reading to the end to enter to win!
In reading through Marissa's book, so much of what she suggests and recommends is completely in line with what I believe and recommend when coaching people so I felt an instant connection with both her and her book. There is so much information out there with today that it's easy to get swamped in information and be left without any idea of what to do or where to start when it comes to making healthy life changes.
Change doesn't have to start with some huge flourishing move, a small change in the right direction is not only more manageable, but more sustainable long term anyway. Through her book Marissa tells you how she transformed her life, and how you can begin to change yours too.
And you might be surprised at how easy it really is.
Challenging – but easy.
Probably my favourite thing about Marissa's approach is that she believes as I do – that every person's body reacts differently to different foods and because of that there is no one eating style that will work for every person. Period. There are things that will work for everybody like choosing water over processed drinks, and eating fewer processed foods and more natural ones, but overall each person must be their own detective to figure out what particular foods work best for them.
Another thing I really enjoyed was the small "Put It Into Action" steps she sprinkles throughout the book. These are ideas and tasks you can start right away to start to make positive changes without turning your entire life upside down.
Marissa also explains other alkaline versus acidic foods, super foods, shares recipes, information and lists on stocking a healthy kitchen and more making this a well rounded easy read for beginning (or continuing) on your healthy living journey.
The Giveaway:
As I mentioned above, Marissa has been kind enough to offer one of my readers a hardcopy of her new book. I find "real" books are easier to use when trying to go back and reference them, so even if you've taken advantage of the free Kindle promotion, you are still welcome to enter this giveaway!
To enter: Leave a comment below telling me what is one change you've made in the past year that has lead to you living a healthier, more holistically hot life! A winner will be chosen on Monday, June 20th.
Update: Winner has been chosen!
Congratulations Catherine!
For me, the answer would definitely be taking more time to relax and trying to work smarter not harder. Stress is so bad for your health and learning to take better control of my work load has really helped me to stress less (usually, but not always 😉 ).
For a bonus entry tweet the following (then leave a separate comment with your twitter handle and telling me you tweeted):
Pick up Holistically Hot for FREE on Kindle until June 15th, 2016 click here for Amazon.ca and click here for Amazon.com
Good luck, and enjoy!
Disclosure: This is not a sponsored post. I was provided with a free copy of Marissa's e-book (which you can get too by following the links above before June 15th), and wanted to share it with you as well as give you the chance to win a copy!
Give Yourself A Little Extra TLC With Caring Crate
The past week and a half have been a bit of a doozy, but not in a good way. In case you missed my post on Instagram, just over a week ago we suddenly lost my sidekick and furry best friend of 12 years Ollie.
We are heartbroken, and I spent 3 days doing nothing but crying. I'm starting to get back into my routine and am able to keep the crying down to one or two outbursts/day, but that coupled with some other bad news/situations we've had over the last week has really sent me into quite a sad place. So it was really wonderful timing when I received the very first subscription box from Caring Crate last Tuesday.
Caring Crate is a new subscription box created for those dealing with mental health issues, chronic illnesses – or anyone who needs a little extra self care. Because I've been feeling pretty low, just seeing this box arrive at my door made me feel a little bit better. Once I opened it I definitely perked up even more!
The first item I pulled out was this Potting Shed Creations Garden-in-a-Bag for growing lavender. I've been wanting to grow my own lavender for quite some time so I was really excited to see this! I've since had a chance to plant my lavender seeds so I'll let you how that goes once it starts sprouting – fingers crossed I don't kill it!
The next item was this lemon and lavender body balm from Fable Naturals. The lemon lavender scent is AMAZING and I'm very much looking forward to using this! I love body balms like this so I was pretty happy about receiving this item too!
The third item was this Scratch and Grain Muffin Mix which is really neat. The ingredients are all individually packaged making it different from your average mix, and I am very much looking forward to making these one day soon!
Next up was this Spa Day tea (not pictured is the After Dinner Mint tea I later found when I was emptying the box) from Pluck Teas. Pluck Teas only uses ingredients from organic and sustainably-managed gardens to make their custom-blended small batch teas. As a tea fiend you know I'm going to be drinking these!
And finally, I received the Mindful Mandala Cards. These and the lavender are tied for my favourite items in the box.
Inside the bag were a stack of original mandala cards, complete with a proverb printed on the back of each card. These cards are printed on heavy card stock so they won't bend and tear with use. And the kit also comes with a small tube of coloured pencils with a built in pencil sharpener allowing you to take the whole kit to colour on the go.
In the summer we like to go to the Drive-In, but when we go, we have to go an hour or so before the movies start in order to get a decent parking spot. That leaves a fair amount of time to kill and these small cards make for the perfect project to work on while waiting for the movies to start. And their simple designs make them more fun than some of my more intricate colouring books. Sometimes simple is better, and in times of high stress I think that is especially true.
Also included with the box is a card listing all of the boxes contents telling you a bit more about each of the products, something I always appreciate, especially if there is an item you aren't entirely familiar with an item.
As I mentioned above this was the very first Caring Crate box, and as someone who has been a subscriber of many different subscription boxes in the past I can honestly say this have been on of my favourite. I will use everything I received (which is not something I can say about many boxes I've received in the past…) and it really did make my day – and week – a bit cheerier.
Unfortunately, we are moving into the summer months which are a slow time for fitness instructors so I'm not going to be able to keep up with this subscription for the next couple months, but I really hope that once I get back to a full schedule in the fall that I will be able to because not only did I love getting it, but it's a new Canadian company and I love to support Canadian companies I love when I can.
If you are interested in learning more about Caring Crate and how you can get a subscription for yourself or someone you love at Caring-Crate.com. You can also follow them on social media on Instagram @caringcrate, Twitter @caring_crate, Facebook.com/caringcate, and on Pinterest @caringcrate.
Disclosure: I received my Caring Crate free of charge but what you have read above is my honest review of the product.
Get Your Skin Summer Ready
June is well underway, and we're finally seeing some nice hot summery days here in Nova Scotia. The first of which were back at the start of May when I was road tripping to Moncton. During the trip I wore a sundress and shorts and realized just how sad my skin was looking. Number one, I'm so pale I nearly glow in the dark at the best of times, and secondly my skin was so so dry and scaly I looked part reptilian! Clearly some summer skin prep was in order before shorts and sundresses became a mainstay in my wardrobe!
I've written numerous times in the past about my dry, itchy skin. I've read numerous times that there is a correlation between fibromyalgia and itchy skin, but I don't really know if that is my issue, or if I just plainly have chronic dry skin. This past winter I had been using a shea butter on my legs because it is thick and moisturizing. While I really enjoy shea butter, but I do find it takes quite a long time to absorb, and since I normally moisturize just before going to bed I fear some of my moisturizer was treating my sheets more than it was treating my legs.
Fortunately for me, just prior to my trip I had received a trio of products from Intega Skin Sciences' Ureadin line to try out on my dry, itchy skin to help me get my skin summer ready and looking it's best!
The three products I received were:
Podos: A hydrating gel moisturizer for your feet that repairs and hydrates dry and cracked feet, with the first results noticeable in as few as three days! It uses ingredients like shea butter to help improve roughness. It also exfoliates with lactic acid and provides intense hydration for 24 hours without leaving a greasy texture on your feet.
Ultra10 Lotion: This is their maximum strength, intense hydration lotion which repairs and hydrates very dry and flaky skin. It helps to relieve itching and irritation, provides intense hydration and protects the skin's moisture barrier and can be used to aid in the reduction of scaling, roughness, redness and cracking.
Lotion Spray: A spray lotion suitable for all skin types, which absorbs instantly keeping your skin smooth and moisturized all day long. This is a light lotion with the HydroISDIN system, hydrating and protecting your skin while providing an antioxidant effect (learn more about the HydroISDIN system on their website)
Because my skin was so parched, I started out by diving into the Ultra10 Lotion. While at first glance you'd expect any lotion with a name like "Ultra10" to be really thick, this isn't. You know how some lotions are so thick it seems like they take forever to absorb? This isn't like that at all. When you pump it into your hand you can tell that it's different from your run of the mill drugstore body lotion. It feels more like an oil lotion if that makes sense. It absorbs really quickly and while you certainly can feel you've applied lotion, it doesn't leave a lotion-y film on your legs. Have you ever put lotion on, then scratched your leg and ended up with a bunch of the lotion under your fingernail? No? Just me? Well it's annoying, and Ultra10 does not do that.
I immediately felt a difference on my skin, and after only a couple days the scaliness went away and I was left with my still super-glow-in-the-dark-white skin, but at least it once again looked like human skin and not that of a lizard!
Once I'd crossed the initial hurdle of dryness, I started using the Ultra10 just at night, and using the Lotion Spray in the mornings/after my bath or shower. Because it is lighter and absorbs even more quickly, it is great for when you are in a hurry, and I absolutely love lotion spray like this because you can turn them upside down and any direction you need to apply them. So super handy. This is my go-to for post bath/shower because I find thicker lotions have a more difficult time absorbing into my skin when it has just been exposed to water, and this absorbs quickly.
I wish I were able to get a decent before and after shot for you, but because a lot of the difference is in how my skin feels, and less in how it looks, it's hard to capture that in a photo. In person the skin on my legs especially is so much more hydrated in appearance, and feels so much better (no more constant itch), but you'll just have to take my word for that.
The Podos might be my favourite of the three products. As I mentioned above, it's a hydrating gel oil and comes in this tube with a tiny little applicator. Basically you apply it to your feet and rub it in, then apply a bit more to the extra dry, tough or cracked areas. I have a pretty thick callus on the side of my big toes from all the lateral movement I do teaching classes and dancing. When the Podos arrived, I stopped using any other foot creams, lotions, scrubs, (including my pumice stone) to see how this would compare.
A few days after I started using it I noticed one night in the tub the side of my toe (where the callus is) looked a little odd, I rubbed my finger on it and a piece of the callus FELL RIGHT OFF. What!? I checked the other side, and was able to easily remove another piece just by rubbing my thumb once or twice along the side of my foot. Since then, that happened yet again. And while I certainly still have a callus on both of my big toes, they are each a lot smaller than they once were. I knew that Podos was suppose to boost exfoliation, but I wasn't expecting that kind of results! The thing with calluses is, while in my case they are necessary, they can also be painful, so removing even part of them has made my feet so much more comfortable. And that is something I've found difficult to accomplish with all my other potions and lotions.
I did get before an afters of my feet, so below I'm showing you the side of my toe(s) before, an after, and a second after which was taken immediately after I'd applied Podos. I don't like it when you can clearly tell in an after photo that the person has just put moisturizer on because I don't feel it paints a "real" picture of the condition of the skin, so I decided to show your my feet both ways.
I apologize that the lighting is clearly different between the before and after shots. I took them in the same place with the same camera settings to try and create the same lighting, but obviously the afters were taken on a sunnier day. But hopefully you can still tell that my feet are clearly looking a lot better in the afters!
What you may not know about me is I am really not a fan of looking at feet. Like I refused to wear sandals for a good 10+ years because I hated looking at feet. And I still don't want anyone to touch me with their feet, ick. Anyway, because of that I really try to keep my feet in the best condition I can – all considered. Knowing that, and knowing that I have exclusively used the Podos for over a month now, it should tell you that I really like this product and am happy with how it has been helping my feet! Over the past month I've moved from sneakers to sandals in day-to-day wear, and I'm so pleased that the Podos helped me get my feet sandal ready!

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

SEATTLE (AP) — T-Mobile says it has a new way to further transform the way people buy mobile phones.
It's offering people the ability to take home the latest iPhone 5S for a seven-day trial. That will let them see if they get good reception at their home and office.
The fourth-ranked mobile carrier says that industrywide, nearly half of all customers who have signed up for a wireless plan have wanted to leave their provider, and that one in 10 has quit within 30 days of making a switch. The free trial will give customers a chance to try before they buy at no cost.
The company said customers can sign up for a "test drive" online starting Monday, and they'll receive a phone in the mail a few days later.
T-Mobile offers service and has store locations across North Texas.

Prima hotel in het centrum van Washington DCPosted Aug 23, 2016
Pros: Vriendelijk hotelpersoneel, nette en schone kamers
Location: Dichtbij Smithsonian en een aantal andere leuk musea. Verder genoeg eetgelegenheden en supermarkten nabij.
Prima hotel in het centrum van Washington DC met erg vriendelijk personeel en goede faciliteiten.

Very convenient to Smithsonian, White House & zooPosted Aug 23, 2016
We were able to walk everywhere it is 1-2 miles from many sites. The hotel staff and room was WONDERFUL. Be advised the it is VALET PARKING ONLY and that charge is $50 + $9 tax per day, if you move your car or not. We used Uber or the metro to avoid driving. Just consider that in the cost of the room when booking. I would add that there is no coffee in room but Peets across the street is amazing. The BEDDING is the best in Loews. You will sleep well.

Adequate hotelPosted Aug 22, 2016
Pros: Staff were very good and the location was good.
Cons: Vented bathrooms, face cloths for the bathrooms and clocks for the room.
Overall was good and the staff was very good. Air conditioning not cool enough, no clock in the room and no vent in the bathroom and no face cloths.

Convenient hotel, close to most tourism sights.Posted Aug 22, 2016
Good stay, friendly staff at the concierge and room cleaning. Hotel largely oriented to the business/ work traveller, but okay for short tourist stays. The hotel should provide a kettle or coffee maker to improve the traveler's experience.

Beware of the fees!!Posted Aug 18, 2016
Very nice hotel however beware when you are offered a good rate for a room there are extra fees for parking $50 per day and the room does it come with a microwave. I would have felt better if there were no hidden fees and everything was included. My rate was $106 per night great deal for 2 nights however $288 with tax adding the parking fee $ 50 per day it comes out to more, parking fees for 2 nights $118. Close to 400 for 2 nights, staff was great very professional. However if the rate offer is too good to be true then it is, read the small print because they do not tell you all the info until you have committed to the price and paid for the hotel then it appears you are stuck with the hidden fees for extras .

Nice hotelPosted Aug 16, 2016
Cons: I liked when they had water in the lobby...but it was infrequent.
This is a pretty solid hotel. It's walking distance to the White House and a quick Uber ride to the Mall. Very cozy hotel.

Hotel aceptablePosted Aug 16, 2016
Todo bien pero la bañera estaba oxidada y no tragaba. Daba un poco de asco. El tema del parking es invreiblemente caro 59$ por dia , cuando en otras ciudades como Orlando o Miami costaba 25$ al dia.

Disney Drops First Trailer and Stills for Teen Comedy 'Prom'
Dates and costumes are some of the issues coming before a prom night and those will be highlighted in a new movie from Walt Disney Pictures. Now the studio has shared a look at the film by dropping the first trailer as well as stills.
"Prom" portrays the precarious passage from high school to independence as some relationships unravel and others ignite. For Nova Prescott, it's a battle of wills as she finds herself drawn to the guy who gets in the way of her perfect prom. Fellow seniors Mei and Tyler harbor secrets, while others face all the insecurity and anticipation that surrounds one of high school's most seminal events.
The movie has cast ensemble consisting of young stars like "Friday Night Lights" actress Aimee Teegarden, Thomas McDonell, Yin Chang, De'Vaughn Nixon and many others. Directed by Joe Nussbaum ("Sleepover", "Sydney White") and written by Katie Wech ("The Dead Zone"), the drama comedy is slated for April 29, 2011 release in the U.S.

Katju blames politicians for spreading communalism for vote-bank politics

Chairman of Press Council of India Justice Markanday Katju today alleged politicians in independent India "have played a major role in spreading deeper the poison of Hindu-Muslim divide, whose seeds were sown by the British, for serving their own votebank politics".
Addressing a programme in Aligarh Muslim Univeristy (AMU), he said Pakistan was an "artificially-created state" by Britishers using the Hindu-Muslim divide.
"It is only a matter of time when the people of both the countries (India and Pakistan) will realise that their erstwhile Western rulers had poisoned their minds and hearts against each other for serving their own interest. They created the Hindu-Muslim divide and then concretised this legacy by the creation of Pakistan", Katju said.
"The real tragedy", he said "was that while the British sowed the seeds of discords in the hearts and minds of people, after independence agent provocateurs are continuing this nefarious policy".
"I have no hesitation to state that politicians have played a major role in spreading this poison deeper for serving their own vote bank politics", he charged.
According to Justice Katju, "in 1857, there was almost zero percent communalism in the country and today I have no hesitation to accept that 80 per cent of both Hindus and Muslims have fallen prey to this dreadful malaise", he said.
"I am aware that my comments on this issue had earlier this week stirred a hornet¿s nest. Some newspersons in Pakistan have dismissed my views as the ranting of a lunatic", he said adding "Hindu-Muslim conflict was engineered by the British as a deliberate state policy for maintaining the British hold over India".
Claiming that history books were deliberately doctored by the British rulers, he said it was done to spawn communalism in India.
Referring to terror activities in the country, Katju said evidence was now mounting to suggest that whenever incidents of terror take place in India, "very frequently innocent Muslim youth are randomly picked up by security forces".

Hi. I have a BB Bold 9700 that I've had for a couple of years or so. I recently bought a new computer, a MacBook Pro, and so was finally able to install Desktop Manager (my old pre-Intel Mac wasn't compatible). I attached my phone and downloaded all the new updates - which is when I realised that my diary entries on my BB, past and future, had all been wiped out. I have tried to restore them, and Desktop Manager says the restore has happened, but I still can't see entries on my phone. This is a total disaster, as I am freelance and this is my only record of upcoming work! Any help or tips at all about how to get my entries back would be massively appreciated.

great value
Pros: It has two speakers built in and they have very good sound quality I use them all the time when I take my computer to school. It has amazing graphics and and the HDMI is also very nice because then you don't have to bring an audio and dvi/vga cable. Just an HDMI
Cons: Absolutely none
Other Thoughts: I took a ton of time researching different monitors and I chose this one because it's very affordable and it is cheaper now then when I bought it. It used to be $280 and they run deals on it quite a bit.
- bobdude16Feb 21, 2012by
Worth every penny!
Bought the Asus VE248H for a new workstation build (first one!) Got a great price, and am amazed with the quality and the size! This guy is a big one. Speakers are not to be used, and if you buy this monitor without better speakers for your gaming/computing/browsing whatever, you need to spend your money more wisely...
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a first, second, or third monitor, you will not be disappointed!
- unknown_evilMar 09, 2013by
Good monitor
Very nice picture quality, came with everything needed, and pretty good sound. The only downside is I can't seem to get the Splendid Mode for my computer.

Good screen for gaming and movies.
I'm very happy with the screen. It covers all your needs I requires of a screen. It is bright and the colors are bright and clean. In the game, the update is very good without flickering.

Op-Ed: Project Gunrunner — U.S. government train wreck
Thomas Amshay
Mar 26, 2011 in
If anyone in the Administration can disprove the allegations emerging about this case they better come forward in a hurry.
As a citizen of the U.S. and a member of planet earth, I am offended by the thought that the U.S. government is this far off the rails. I sincerely hope there is a logical explanation soon to come from Washington, and not the traditional blame-shifting or party zealots falling on their swords to save their bosses.
The saga begins in late 2009 when U.S. gun shop owners began alerting Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms (ATF) to suspicious purchases of weapons known to be the preferred guns used by Mexican drug cartels. That started an ATF investigation that became what appears to be a sting operation gone totally wrong.
The tipping point for the sting gone bad was December 14, 2010 when U.S. border agent Brian Terry was killed near the Arizona - Mexico border. Terry was part of a special tactical squad that was fired upon.
Assault rifles found at the scene of the gunfight that killed Terry were traced back to a U.S. gun shop. How those weapons wound up being used to fire upon U.S. agents is completely detailed by CBS investigative correspondent Sharyl Attkisson's February 23 story
"Gunrunning scandal uncovered at the ATF"
that includes background, dates, interviews, videos, and more.
More recently in an exclusive interview with CBS News (25 March), ATF official Darren Gil said that somebody in the Justice Department knew about the case when CBS News began investigating after having been tipped by whistle-blowers in February. Gil, said that his supervisor at ATF in Washington told him approval for the operation had come from a higher level than ATF Director Kenneth Melson.
Gil asked the supervisor if Melson knew, and the reply was "Yes, the director's aware of it. Not only is the director aware of it, D.O.J.'s aware of it." Attkisson uncovered that ATF's own agents on the ground in Mexico did not know about the operation. It is Agent Gil's interview that appears in the video at the top of this page.
You can also see
President Barack Obama being interviewed
by Univision television (provided by CBS NEWS) during which he says he did not authorize the operation. Obama also states that U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder did not authorize the operation.
I am hoping that the corporate media — after having lost my trust because of agenda-based reporting — will notice that CBS News is demonstrating the good breeding of real journalists that follow a story like Project Gunrunner (aka Fast and Furious) to its conclusion no matter who is involved and who authorized the operation.
