So far, we've discussed creating a backyard habitat, attracting butterflies and other pollinators, and creating a haven for snakes and beneficial predators, but we haven't talked about how to get birds to your garden! Aside from the obvious of sticking up a feeder, there are some other great ways to attract your feathered friends! By… Continue reading Creating a Safe Haven for Feathered Friends

Keeping our Feathered Friends Happy – Especially in the Winter
Cardinals are a common sight at winter bird feeders. These are commonly ground feeders and can pick up what other birds have discarded. Birds are amazing - and if you read my previous winter bird blog, you'll know that birds can definitely take care of themselves, but that doesn't mean that we shouldn't feed them… Continue reading Keeping our Feathered Friends Happy – Especially in the Winter
Keep your garden happy all year long by overwintering!
If you're a gardener, you understand how much time and effort you put into your plants and hate seeing it go to waste come winter! Fortunately, there are ways to keep your beauties alive, even if they're not winter hardy! The best way to keep your tender garden plants alive is to bring them inside.… Continue reading Keep your garden happy all year long by overwintering!
Work With Nature – Not Against It!
There was a quote written on the whiteboard of one of the places I worked at saying "Gardening is man wrestling with nature." This seems rather counter-intuitive though, to me. If we are gardening, aren't we trying to add more nature to the nature that's already in place? Shouldn't we work with it not against… Continue reading Work With Nature – Not Against It!
It's finally Gardening season – Make it pollinator friendly!
If you're into gardening or just being out in nature, chances are, you enjoy flowers! Their vibrant colors, textured foliage and sweet fragrances are pleasing. In fact, it's not just flowers that you like by many other plants including fruits and vegetables! Without pollinators like birds, bats, bees, butterflies, moths and other insects, these beautiful,… Continue reading It's finally Gardening season – Make it pollinator friendly!

Below you will find my report from the Northern Shih Tzu Club's Championship Show 4/11/17:
It is always a great pleasure to get invited to judge a breed show, so I got very excited when I was asked to do the Northern Counties Shih Tzu Club's Championship show. You never get the same atmosphere and feeling of togetherness at an all-breed show as you do at a popular Breed show. The family feeling at the Northern was pulsating and I thoroughly enjoyed my day with some of the best Shih Tzu enthusiasts in the country. The exhibitors had given me a lovely entry and I had some first-class dogs to go over.
The standard describes the Shih Tzu as a sturdy, abundantly but not excessively coated dog with distinctly arrogant carriage and a Chrysanthemum like face. This was therefore what I was looking for when I entered the ring at Thorpe Willoughby. In males I found that quite a few heads were too feminine and some muzzles were lacking ample width. I found that body length was a problem because many were too long in loin and a few were big enough. I didn't find many eyes which was too prominent, but I saw quite a few which were on the small side lacking the desired roundness.
One of the main weaknesses in the breed was the tail. To get a true ShihTzu look we want a high set tail with height approximately level with that of the skull. The sad news is that many breeders need to improve on their dog's tail carriage. My late friend Roy Metcalf used to say that the tail on a Shih Tzu should be like the handle on a tea pot. I love this description.
I got the feeling that the breed is in very good hands because I was impressed by the quality of the puppies and youngsters which were shown under me. I look forward to seeing how they have developed when I judge your breed again at Bath Championship Show in 2020; assuming I still am fit and upstanding.
Minor Puppy Dog
1. Howard's Tameron Mr Guilty Black. This is a very impressive puppy which took the ring by storm. He has attitude, type and a lovely head. He moved and showed like a ready trained champion and I am sure we will hear more from him I the future.
2. Maule's Daltricia Kwakwali, A lovely quality dog with excellent temperament. He has a fabulous outline and a good head. He moved very well and pushed for the top spot. I did however, think the winner was better developed for his age.
3. Fairley's Rossvale Here Comes The Sun Over Fairmere
Puppy Dag
1. Kilburn's Suzitzu Lord Kalum of Blackgangsi, I was impressed by this dog's presence and beautiful head. He has a nice arched neck and he moves very well, but he is slightly long in loin. An interesting dog for the future when he settles down.
2. Fairley's Rossvale Here Comes The Sun Over Fairmere , Promising youngster with a lovely outline. Good head and expression, moves well. His bite mustn't get more undershot.
3. Hey's Lyndatzu Joie De Vivre,
Junior Dog
1. Flack's Shalehan Yarik For Mifcah, This dog gives a fabulous picture standing with a great outline.
He has a good head and lot of presence. Yes, he has his faults, but his virtues compensate for those. He moves well around the ring.
2. Another top-class dog, very similar to the winner in type and quality. He does, however, not have the same arched neck.
3. Hey's Shalehan Yashron
Yearling Dog
1. Hey's Shalehan Yashron, A dog of great type which I liked a lot. Good outline, moves well.
2. Yorke's, Minfaa Take Me To The Limit at Middletune. Quality dog, similar to the winner in quality, but a bit longer in body.
3. Sullivan's Jacquita Lets Go Andy
Novice Dog
1. Howard's Tameron Mr Guilty Black
2. Kilburn's Suzitzu Lord Kalum of Blackgangsi
3. Maule's Daltricia Kwakwali
Post Graduate Dogs
1. Brown's, Rossvale All About The Boy, Beautiful dog with a good head and expression. Lovely outline, stands and moves well.
2. Jones' Carlita Reason To Dream, Another quality dog which l liked a lot. It was a very close decision between the two first ones, but in the end I preferred the expression on the winner.
3. Maule's Daltrica Mondego.
Limit Dogs
1. Scott's Honeyshuchun God Of Thunder, What can I say except Hurrah! I fell in love with this gentleman which I could have taken home. I loved everything about him and he impressed with a fabulous head and a perfect expression. I know teeth don't matter that much in a Shih Tzu as long as they don't show the tongue, but you have to give a few extra points to a boy which has a perfect bite with a straight and wide under jaw. It was a joy to see God of Thunder on the move and I gave him the RCC. Looking into the stars I can't see that it will take long before he gains his title.
2. Everall's Wharfewview Candy Man, This gentleman is of outstanding quality and very similar to the winner in outline, but I preferred the expression on the first one.
3. Williams' Paliden Shine Like A Star
Open dog
1. Clifford's Ch Zamadar Majic Potion for Cedarhythe, Here he was, the king of the day. He entered the ring as a colonel in command of his tropes and he never put a foot wrong. This dog is shouting Shih Tzu; his Head and tails fit the picture and he motor around the circuit like Lewis Hamilton on the F1 track. Having said that he was followed to the finishing line by God of Thunder, which was showing a slight weakness in his topline in the final race, so Majic Potion won the golden trophy. CC & RBIS.
2. Hitt's Ch Miracey All Guns Blazin, Another top-quality show dog of high class. He is more of an American type and slightly more polished than the once I gave the top awards to, but I don't want to take anything away from this beautifully headed and extremely well-presented dog. He did, however, have a problem with his tongue which he showed me more times than I wold have liked.
3. Maule's, Daltrica Wilbur Smith.
Special beginners
1. Longstaff's Shihmali Ace Of hearts, Dog of excellent type. He stands and moves well, but I would have like him with a better arched neck
Veteran Dog
1. Marks, Ch Tansingh Double Jepardy, A gentleman in excellent form for age. He stands and moves very well. He is one to be proud of. I wish him all the best in the years to come.
2. Yorke's Ch Middletune Wildest Dream, Another excellent veteran in great form, but he has lost some of the drive in his movements. Having said that he is still a lovely dog.
3. Steven's Peekin Tsemo-Tu
Minor Puppy Bitch
1. Brown's Rossvale's Only In Dreams. This little doll isn't named very well because she will for sure make her marks in the real world, not only "IN Dreams". I can see her bringing a lot of success to the Rossvale kennel. I thought she was divine. She had a beautiful head and a correct tail. She was well constructed with a magnificent temperament. What more do you want in 7 months old puppy. All I can do is to wish this future star all the best on the journey to the top. BP
2. Quick's Minfaa Godidog Callender Girl, Here we go again, another heartbreaker which stole my heart. This puppy has got it all, but she wants more training. Having said that she moved perfectly well when she decided to do so. If this baby develops the right way she will give the owner a lot of pleasure.
3. Scott's, Honeyshuchun Goddes of War
Puppy Bitch
1. Yorke/Keree-Bartolo's Shirkeira Olivia at Middletune. Beautiful bitch of excellent type. Good head and neck. Well developed for age and moves well.
2. Roberts' Katonier Secrets and Dreams, Very close to the winner in quality and type, but preferred the arched neck on the winner. Moved very well.
3. Jones' Carlita Time To Samba
Junior Bitch
1. Briggs' Waratwaithe pure As Snow, I did say in my preamble that it was a lot of nice youngsters entered under me and here is another one. She is of excellent type with a beautiful head and she stands and moves very well
2. Brown's Chotahkees Dark Angel At Rossvale. A bitch of quality all through, but I preferred the front of the winner.
3. Quick's Minaffa Pocahontas.
Yearling bitch
1. Flack 's Shalahan Yarina to Mifcah, This bitch is dynamite, and she made a big impression on me. She has a beautiful head and expression and the truth is I could hardly get my eyes off her. She is very well constructed, and her movements were arrogant and smooth flowing. She is only 15 months and I do think that she will look even better when she loses some of her coat. I did match her up against Ch Rossvale Secret Obsession for the reserve CC and in doing so I thought she lost some of her outline because of the excessive coat.
2. Hutley's Zeeva Zafira, Another quality bitch of excellent type, but I preferred the neck and the presence of the winner.
3. Bourne's Paliden Golden Future at Mayofox
Novice Bitch
1. Doran's Lyndatzu Enchantment At Tzusweet, Nice bitch of very good type. Moves well, but could have had a bit more presence.
2. Richie's Chanikos Galaxy Of Dreams at Laurmerand, Nice bitch of good type. Moves well around, but need to strengthen up behind.
3. Hutley's Zeeva Zafira
Post Graduate Bitch
1. Brown's Rossvale's Latest Model, I had problems assessing this bitch. At first, I was taken by her type, beautiful head and arched neck, but suddenly her tail carriage went wrong. She didn't drop it, but she should have kept it tighter over her back. Being in doubt I decided to give her one more chance; can you believe it, when I asked the class to move again Latest Model's tail carriage was perfect, so I gave her the class.
2. Williams's Paliden Star Delight, Another bitch of very good type, She is well constructed, but I preferred the neck of the winner.
3. Brooks' Lyndatzu Coco Chanel at Marbrux.
Limit Bitch
1. Yorke's Minfaa Dancing Cheek to Cheek at Middletune, High class bitch of excellent type.
She has a beautiful head and a very attractive outline. She moves very well and is a great representative for the breed.
2. Hey's Lyndatzu Jai Mali, Beautiful bitch of excellent type. Well-constructed, but she hasn't quite got the presence of the winner.
3. Longstaff's Shihmai Mum's of The World.
Open bitch
1. Howard's Ch Tameron Miss Black Opium, Here she was the well-dressed queen spreading joy and excitement among her friends. This is an outstanding Shih Tzu which is ticking all boxes as far as breed type is concerned. She moves arrogantly with the front legs reaching well forward and with strong rear action showing full pads. Her head is superb with an arrogant carriage and she gives a picture of complete balance and harmony. She is expertly presented and handled to perfection. It was a hard job for Miss Black to come up against Majic Potion in the greatest of form. Both these dogs move to perfection, but in the end, I thought Miss Black carried herself best and her presentation made a difference. BIS.
2. Brown's Ch Rossvale Secret Obsession. Her is another fabulous bitch which is ticking all the right boxes. I loved everything about this outstand lady. She pushed Miss Black all the way, but in the end I preferred the expression on the winner so Secret Obsession got the RCC.
3. Clifford's Ch Taydale Dancing in the Stars with Cedarhythe.
Special Beginners
1. Longstaff's Shihmali Mum's The Word, Lovely bitch of good type, moves and stands well
2. Hutley's Zeeva Zafira, Nice bitch of good type, but preferred the mouth of the winner
3. Gardner's Lyndatzu Petit Fleur
Veteran bitch.
1. Williams' Paliden Good As Gold, Nice quality bitch of excellent type. She was in great form, gave a great picture standing and moved very well, she was all for me. BVET
2. Brooks' Ch Marbrux Kelli's High. 13 year old grandmother in good form even if age is slowing her down a bit. I wish her a few more and happy years.
The job is done, and I have as always pleased a few and disappointed others. That is unfortunate part of the game. I had some very good dogs coming under me and in my report, I have tried to explain why I made some of the very difficult choices I was faced with. I thank the Shih Tzu people for the sporty way in which they received my decisions and I wish them good luck at their future shows

Underground Construction
Underground Construction
Hazard Overview
What is underground construction?
Underground construction refers to the construction of underground tunnels, shafts, chambers and passageways. It does not include trenching and excavation operations that are not physically connected to the underground construction nor underground electrical transmission and distribution lines.
What are the hazards associated with underground construction?
Hazards associated with underground construction include, but are not limited to, engulfment, noise, fire and explosion, potential overexposure to silica, and toxic and oxygen deficient atmospheres.
What can I do to protect myself?
Your employer must provide training in the recognition and avoidance of hazards associated with underground construction. Don the required personal protective equipment before entering the work space.
What resources are available to assist employers?
Example programs on confined spaces, hearing conservation, hazard communication, respiratory protection and PPE and hazard analysis can assist the employer with their hazard communication program and identifying the appropriate personal protective equipment required in the workplace.
Presentations on confined spaces, noise, respirable crystalline silica, personal protective equipment, respiratory protection and hazard communication are available for workplaces in construction and can assist employers in training their staff. The presentations should be modified to address site-specific conditions and hazards.
A-Z topic pages on confined spaces, noise, personal protective equipment (PPE), respiratory protection, silica and hazard communication can provide more resource information. The Which OSHA Standards Apply webpage can help identify other standards that may be applicable to your worksite.
In addition, the NCDOL Library offers free safety and health videos and related research assistance on consensus standards (i.e., ANSI, NFPA, NEC). The education, training and technical assistance bureau provides free online safety and health training and outreach services (i.e., speaker's bureau requests, safety booths) upon request. Lastly, the consultative services bureau provides free and confidential onsite consultation regarding worksite safety and health hazards.
Which standards apply?
OSH has adopted the following standards which apply to underground construction in North Carolina:
29 CFR 1926.800 - underground construction
29 CFR 1926.33 (29 CFR 1910.1020) - access to employee exposure and medical records

The Mayan ruins at Copán are described as the most sophisticated in Central America, their intricate detail well preserved over time.
Located close to Honduras' northern border with Guatemala, many people choose to combine a visit to the ruins on holidays to neighbouring Guatemala, but Copán holidays are a worthwhile stay in their own right.
The ruins can be found in a peaceful setting amid the grassy plains and lush forests, making exploring a very pleasant experience – visit in the early morning or evening and you'll find the site much quieter. You'll have the opportunity to tour the stone temples, pyramids, plazas and a ball court by yourself or with the services of a knowledgeable guide, who will be able to illuminate the history of the site and details about the stone monuments, known as stelae. The stones are so well preserved that you can view faces and figures in the carvings. It's also worthwhile paying a visit to the nearby museum, to see an impressive recreation of how the pyramids would have looked to the early Mayans.
Copán holidays usually involve a stay in the nearby town of Copán Ruinas, a pretty town with cobblestone streets and white adobe buildings topped with traditional red roofs. The population are extremely welcoming towards visitors and as such there are a number of hotels and restaurants that may tempt you to stay longer in the area, rather than passing through on a whirlwind trip.
For inspiration and advice on holidays to Copán call our Travel Specialist for Honduras now.

Starbucks Prepaid Card: A Lesson in Teen Personal Finance
*This post is sponsored by Starbucks. All opinions are my own. Thank you for your continued support of the brands I work with. This makes it possible for me to continue to bring great content to you!
A Lesson in Teen Personal Finance
I have three teenagers. Our girls are 13 and 16 and our son just graduated high school.
Don't panic. We're fine! It's awesome… aaaaand exhausting some days.
The topic of finances is frequent in our home… teen personal finance to be specific.
The 16-year-old does have a job, so she has a lot more financial flexibility than the 13 year old. But they want lots of really great things and well… we feed them, and house them, and provide for needs and some wants but they have more than just SOME wants! Thinking about the financial advice I got when I was growing up, I wish it was the same that we are giving our kids. Especially now that there are many ways of making money online, such as blogging, making online videos and even investing in stocks (check out a site like Stocktrades.ca if this sounds appealing to you), saving for their future has never been easier. Plus, there are more incentives to do so than ever before.
My husband and I always have our wheels turning about how to teach all our kids about money. As they get older it is a topic that we rarely get a break from.
What do we provide for as their parents? What "non-essential" things should be their financial responsibility? How do they earn to be able to buy those "non-essentials"? And how do they manage it?
For a long time I dished out their allowance in cash. Then the older two moved to bank accounts and I began transferring allowance, money for gas, select meals on the go, and grocery purchases made to keep me from having to run another errand.
But I recently learned about the Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card and I am rethinking it all… especially as the 13-year-old has expressed a desire to also have access to a debit card. The Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card is not a credit card (I do not want my 13 and 16-year-olds to have my/a credit card).
Unlike many other prepaid cards out there, there are no monthly, annual, or reload fees. Also unlike many other prepaid cards out there the Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card offers great perks!
Are you familiar with the Starbucks Rewards program? Earning 125 Stars earns a free drink or food item at Starbucks stores!*
I set-up my Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card in a snap. I am a huge fan of things I can accomplish in a snap!
How can this card benefit parents and teens?
That's a great question! There's no risk connected with using mama's credit card, or access to mama's bank account via her debit card, and remember that whole perks thing?
In short, with a Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card you can:
- load whatever amount onto the card (for example: your kids' budget for the week/month)
- your kid makes their own spending decisions with boundaries
- YOU earn Stars toward those Rewards.
I bet you have some questions about how this works. Here's a bit more information. I know how you like details!
- Earn 125 Stars the first time you use your card to load at least $10 to your registered Starbucks Card in the App. That's enough Stars for a qualifying drink or food item for doing something you needed to do anyway!*
- You get instant Starbucks Rewards Gold status as a Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid cardholder. Gold Status cardholders get all kinds of perks, so if you've always wanted to see what the fuss is about – this is the time!
- You earn 1 Star for every $10 you make purchases using the prepaid card.
- Earn 2 Stars per $1 you spend at Starbucks stores as a Starbucks Rewards™ member when you use your registered Starbucks Card or registered Starbucks Card through the App.*
Plus, when you give your teen a Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card you give yourself a break from having to fork over cash at intermittent, and usually ill-timed intervals. It can be a great tool for teaching your teen how to work with a set budget. You also earn yourself a little treat.
But seriously. The Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card can be a great tool in helping teach your teens about financial responsibility, and with the benefit of earning Starbucks Rewards you get something out of it too.
I love redeeming those Rewards, don't you?!
The Starbucks Rewards™ Visa® Prepaid Card is easy to set-up. You can learn more all about it here. Within a week I got my card in the mail and those teen personal finance lessons began right away. And of course I redeemed the Stars I received for signing up for a Reward right away… You know, for being such a savvy mom and all. It will teach teens the basics of saving, which they can expand on later in life by reading articles on websites like Key.
As a mom of teens one thing I am aware of is that as my kids grow up and get a credit score of their own they will likely need our help from time to time, including the possibility of being a guarantor for a loan or car finance. With this in mind, I have done some deep research into your obligations as a loan guarantor and I would advise every parent to do the same to make sure you know what you could be letting yourself in for. While your teen is living under your roof if they end up having bad credit that bad credit will affect your household credit which in turn could cause you problems with any loans or finance purchases you may try to get, this is also the same if you are a guarantor and your child (or should I say adult child by this time) defaults on a loan or repayment plan, so a word to the wise just make sure you know what you could be letting yourself in for before you say yes to helping them out in this way.

MALE, Maldives (AP) — The Latest on turmoil in the Maldives after the Supreme Court ordered the release of a group of political prisoners (all times local):
7:30 a.m.
U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is calling on the Maldives government to respect the Supreme Court ruling ordering the release of political prisoners and the reinstatement of 12 lawmakers.
Hundreds of opposition supporters have been demanding the prisoners' freedom outside the penitentiary in the capital Male for the second day Saturday but police forced them to leave. They then moved to another location for a sit-in that was also broken up.
The Indian Ocean island-nation's attorney general raised government concerns about the ruling with the chief justice because he says the imprisoned politicians were convicted of offenses including terrorism, corruption, embezzlement and treason. The Supreme Court says the convictions were politically influenced.
President Yameen Abdul Gayoom has been set to run for re-election this year virtually unopposed, with all of his opponents either jailed or exiled.
6:30 p.m.
Two people have been arrested in clashes between Maldives police and opposition supporters who were urging the government to obey a Supreme Court order to release a group of nine political prisoners.
Hundreds of people gathered in Male, the capital, a day after the court's decision that the dissidents' guilty verdicts had been influenced by politics. It ordered new trials for all nine.
A scuffle erupted when police asked the protesters to stay clear of a road. Police used batons and pepper spray to disperse the protesters.
Earlier, the government fired the country's police chief after his department announced it would uphold the Supreme Court verdict.
An archipelago known for its luxury tourist resorts, the Maldives became a multiparty democracy 10 years ago.
4:40 p.m.
Amnesty International says a Maldives Supreme Court ruling overturning the conviction of former President Mohamed Nasheed and other opposition leaders should be a turning point for the archipelago nation.
Amnesty International's South Asia director, Biraj Patnaik, says the ruling must be implemented and what he called the government's "witch-hunt against the political opposition and other critics" must come to an end.
He said re-trials of the opposition leaders must be conducted in line with international standards, and authorities must restore judicial independence.
He said Nasheed's conviction in 2015 on terrorism charges was politically motivated.
4:10 p.m.
India says the government of Maldives should respect and abide by a Supreme Court order setting aside the convictions of former President Mohamed Nasheed and eight other opposition politicians.
External Affairs Ministry spokesman Raveesh Kumarsaid says India, as a close and friendly neighbor, wishes to see a stable, peaceful and prosperous Maldives.
He said Friday that India also hopes that Maldives will ensure the safety of Indian citizens there.
Clashes erupted in the Maldives' capital after the surprise Supreme Court ruling Thursday night.
3:30 p.m.
The exiled former president of the Maldives told the AP on Friday that he will run again for office, hours after a surprise Supreme Court ruling to free a group of political prisoners led to unrest in the capital of the Indian Ocean archipelago.
Current President Yameen Abdul Gayoom had been set to run for re-election virtually unopposed, with all of his opponents either jailed or exiled.
But ex-President Mohammed Nasheed, who is among the prisoners ordered freed, says he will challenge Yameen, saying "I can contest and I will contest and hopefully we will win it again."
1:55 p.m.
The exiled former president of the Maldives has called on the government to abide by a Supreme Court ruling to free a group of political prisoners, hours after clashes erupted in the Indian Ocean archipelago's capital in the wake of the surprise verdict.
Speaking to the AP in Colombo in neighboring Sri Lanka, ex-President Mohammed Nasheed also called for reforms in the country's security services, saying "a small element within the military and police want to prop up the dictatorship" of President Yameen Abdul Gayoom, who has rolled back many democratic reforms since coming to power five years ago.
Nasheed, who lives in exile, is among the politicians ordered freed by the Supreme Court.
Male was quiet early Friday afternoon, but an opposition leader says Yameen's opponents are planning further protests.
12:45 p.m.
An opposition leader in the Maldives says government opponents will keep up their protests until the political prisoners ordered freed by the Supreme Court are released. The Thursday night court order led to hours of violent protests overnight in the capital.
The opposition leader was speaking from Male, the capital, on condition of anonymity because of fear of reprisals by authorities who have already imprisoned numerous politicians.
The politician says while Male was quiet Friday morning, the opposition is planning further protests.
Politics have become sharply divided in the Indian ocean archipelago in recent years, with President Yameen Abdul Gayoom rolling back many democratic reforms after a longtime strongman was voted from office in 2008.
10:30 a.m.
The streets of the Maldives capital are calm Friday morning, with offices open and people heading to work, hours after clashes broke out following a Supreme Court verdict ordering the release of political prisoners.
Opposition celebrations in Male turned into clashes with police after the Indian Ocean nation's president fired the country's police chief, whose department said it would uphold the court ruling. At least one policeman was injured in the violence, which lasted about three hours.
10:20 a.m.
The clashes that broke out overnight in the Maldives began after the Indian Ocean nation's president fired the country's police chief, whose department said it would uphold a Supreme Court ruling ordering the release of political prisoners.
Attorney General Mohamed Anil says the police chief was fired after President Yameen Abdul Gayoom was repeatedly unable to reach him on the phone. Yameen named the police chief's deputy as interim head of the force.
After the firing was announced, clashes began between police and hundreds of flag-waving supporters of ex-President Mohamed Nasheed, who lives in exile in Britain. The court ruling could allow Nasheed, the nation's first democratically elected president, to challenge Yameen when he seeks re-election later this year.
9:15 a.m.
The U.S. ambassador to the Maldives has welcomed the Supreme Court ruling ordering the release of political prisoners, including exiled ex-President Mohamed Nasheed.
Ambassador Atul Keshap wrote on Twitter: "I urge the government and security services to respect this ruling, which bolsters democracy and rule of law for all Maldivians."
Clashes broke out in Male, the capital of the Indian Ocean island nation, after the court ruling was announced Thursday night with opposition protesters demanding the release of the prisoners.
The ruling could allow Nasheed, the nation's first democratically elected president, to challenge President Yameen Abdul Gayoom when he seeks re-election later this year. Nasheed now lives in exile in Britain.

Lately, the world of ballet has been scrutinized and criticized for two things: its lack of diversity and the paucity of female choreographers. Dance Theater of Harlem has the first one covered. This season, it will do something about the second.
Sitting behind her desk at this company's headquarters recently, the artistic director Virginia Johnson was eager to talk about two women in particular. One was Dianne McIntyre, the esteemed modern dance choreographer who has not only created her first ballet but also her first work on point. The other was Elena Kunikova, a Russian who is much admired for her teaching and staging of classical ballets. Both will present new works at City Center, where Dance Theater appears beginning on April 6.
These choreographers are part of the company's new initiative, Women Who Move Us, created to support new work by women. It's still early, but the program, funded by the Howard Gilman Foundation, could signal the start of a new artistic direction. The choice to commission these choreographers in this moment reveals something that Dance Theater has rarely shown in the years since its return in 2012 after an eight-year hiatus: the right combination of purpose and spirit.
Ms. McIntyre's ballet, "Change," a trio, explores issues of women and race by loosely evoking important female figures from historical times to the present. "Dianne holds the world to a high standard," Ms. Johnson said. "She wants to not just be making dances. She wants to bring truth to the stage. How beautiful is that?" Because Ms. McIntyre comes from modern dance, "her whole idiom and way of being is completely different," said Ms. Johnson, who believes that it is important for ballet dancers "to understand a different way of moving and a different source for their work."
When Ms. Johnson was considering a classical ballet to include in the company's season, Ms. Kunikova's name popped into her head. And naturally so: Ms. Kunikova has been teaching class at Dance Theater for the past two years. "Why does she have to be just the conduit?" Ms. Johnson said. "Why can't she be the source?"
Both choreographers have instilled in their ballets a sense of history, and that's promising for the revamped Dance Theater. The company was formed in 1969 by Karel Shook and Arthur Mitchell in response to the assassination of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and has always represented something bigger than ballet — that black dancers could thrive in classical dance.
It hasn't always gone smoothly. In 2004, the company went on hiatus because of overwhelming debt; when it returned to the stage, under Ms. Johnson's artistic direction, it was much altered. The new dancers weren't as technically proficient or experienced as those from Mr. Mitchell's era, and the company's repertory, which veered into generic contemporary ballet, frequently disappointed as well. Despite the company's diversity, there have been times when Dance Theater seemed like any other midsize contemporary company.
At the start of 2015 Dance Theater underwent internal changes in anticipation of a deficit. Laveen Naidu stepped down as executive director, and Anna Glass, who was brought in to evaluate the organization, became its interim executive director, a job that became permanent this month.
"I think it was just not knowing enough about how we were doing," Ms. Johnson said of that time. Now she is learning, as she put it, how "to paint inside the lines," though she added, "budget lines are hard to paint inside."
Ms. Johnson has had help. During the first half of 2015, Sharon Gersten Luckman, a former executive director of Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, was brought in by Ms. Glass to help manage the day-to-day operations.
The company has shrunk to 14 dancers from 18. But for the first time, Ms. Glass said, it is reporting profits from its tours, $2,500 to $5,000 for each engagement. Now Dance Theater has a surplus in part because it moved its New York season from the Rose Theater at Lincoln Center to City Center, which is known as a dance house and was the company's home before the hiatus.
But at City Center, the proof of growth will be on the stage, and a big test will be Ms. Kunikova's "Divertimento" for six dancers, set to one of her favorite pieces of music: Glinka's "Divertimento Brillante," on themes from Bellini's opera "La Sonnambula." In it, Ms. Kunikova focuses on three archetypes in classical ballet: the aristocratic couple; a lively ingénue pair with, she said, "more democratic origins, like the peasant pas from 'Giselle'"; and the sylph and her partner, a poet or a dreamer.
In this tribute to ballet, Ms. Kunikova has included allusions to classics and also incorporated passages from lesser-known works. "Very old ballets — some steps are almost 200 years old," she said. "Since it's a purely classical piece, I tried to fill it with steps I like and some steps maybe that are sometimes forgotten."
Chyrstyn Fentroy, who is cast in both of the new dances, called Ms. Kunikova's ballet delicate and very classical, which she said she thought would elevate the company's artistry. Ms. Kunikova does not let a detail slip by. "We're not always reeled in to do the classical works that are this specific," Ms. Fentroy said. "It's healthy for us to work on our technique and present ourselves as the classical dancers that we're trained to be."
Ms. McIntyre's work stretches the dancers in a different way. The focus is on women, specifically, as the choreographer put it, "black, brown and beige" who "have helped create an openness in society in the face of all kinds of obstacles."
In "Change," which is set to a recorded score that includes songs performed by the Spelman College Glee Club and original music by the percussionist Eli Fountain, Ms. McIntyre is considering women in three different times: the slavery and civil rights eras, and the present.
All the dancers that she worked with in the company, Ms. Johnson said, have experienced rejection or struggled for exposure because of their race. "This piece isn't just about looking at the political scene and going on marches," Ms. McIntyre said. "No, this is today in our arts world, and they have lived it."
In terms of creating movement, Ms. McIntyre said she was on a learning curve. "I would ask them: 'I'm going to do this big tilt over to the side with a turn. Can you do that on point?' They wouldn't say 'yes' or 'no,' or 'that's impossible.' They would just try."
She also asked the dancers to research black women including Sojourner Truth, Mary McLeod Bethune and Fannie Lou Hamer. Ms. Fentroy, whose focus was Harriet Tubman, said Ms. McIntyre opened their minds to the world beyond dance.
"It was different, but in the most positive way," Ms. Fentroy said. "I think it's something that all of us really needed. It was good for our brains and for our souls to work with her. This company has so much history. It was important to do something where we have to dive deeper. There's so much importance behind what we represent, but performing this piece and feeling everything that this piece is meant to represent brings you to tears."

But, first a little info on Casey and his new album In Your Head.
Casey Shea has spent a handful of years fronting rock bands (former front man of The Undisputed Heavyweights) before setting out for NYC in 2004 to focus on a solo career.
Recently he released In Your Head, an album that elicits John Lennon, Bob Dylan, Tom Petty and Coldplay comparisons yet sounds completely and refreshingly original.
Sound like something you'd be into? Check out the full album in its entirety for free via his Facebook page, plus get a free MP3 of "A Very Merry Christmas" below to share with your loved ones during the holidays.
And, now for Casey Shea's playlist including the seasonal track he thinks could only truly be delivered by a true drunk!
A top 5 holiday playlist by Casey Shea
5. "Fairytale Of New York" (The Pogues)
Forget Christmas songs, this might be the greatest song ever! The story is sad, funny, touching, and told in the most poetic fashion….on top of that, the melody is amazing. But really the secret of the magic of this song is the actual performance. This song could only truly be delivered by a true drunk, and Shane MacGowan is just that. Steve Lillywhite's then wife Kirsty MacColl provides the perfect sober counterpoint.
4. "Baby It's Cold Outside" (Dean Martin & Doris Day)
I could make a strong argument that this is the best duet ever written. The call and answer overlapping each other paints an incredible picture of a womanizing sweet-talker and an innocent girl who is clearly not going anywhere. The lyrics are perfect. This one's been done by a ton of artists through the years, but this to me is the standard. Amazingly delivered by both parties. Once again, it's the drunken playfulness of the delivery that puts this version over the top for me. Only a guy like Dean Martin could pull it off this well.
3. "I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus" (The Ronettes)
Genius song. Of course it's another one that's been done a bunch through the years, but there's no denying Ronnie Spector's voice and Phil Spector's production. I just love the innocence in the story…another great picture painted.
2. "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" (Darlene Love)
This is just a fun song that embodies the Christmas vibe. I could listen to this over and over and never get tired of it. More classic Phil Spector production topped off with Darlene Love's amazing voice.
1. "Silver Bells" (Dean Martin)
Picking five songs is just about impossible, but I'm coming back to Dean Martin for this one. I think this one holds a special place in my heart because of the whole Christmas time in the city stuff. New York City during the holiday season is really untouchable. This song perfectly captures the feeling for me.

At a school where a student drowned, more than one lesson to be learned
July 29, 2010 § Leave a comment
Four years ago, at an open house for his new middle school, I met Jose Maldonado, the New York City principal who may be put on probation after one of his students drowned on a field trip to the beach. Afterward, I wrote in the New York Sun that the school, Columbia Secondary School for Math, Science and Engineering, was "nearly certain" to be an academic success.
Maldonado was energetic, charismatic and earnest about his goal to create a rigorous new school for the Harlem community. One of the school's planners was a Nobel Prize winner. Some of the teachers would have PhDs from Columbia, as does Maldonado himself. READ MORE…

Garnishments are court orders for the employer to cut a check, mail it to the creditor or entitled party, and along with it process a bunch of paper work every pay period, sometimes for a long period of time. Employers must follow court orders to garnish wages or face paying the entire amount to the creditor themselves. They are a nuance for any hard-working payroll department and they cost the company money. EAP utilization can be boosted dramatically if you make arrangements with your organization to have management make supervisor referrals for employees whose wages must be garnished. The performance basis of the referral is the financial burden on the organization resulting from issues within the employee's personal life adversely affecting the workplace. Like any management or supervisor referral, the garnishment referral is not a punitive act.
Wage garnishment judgments may or may not be deserved sometimes, but they are almost always symptoms of larger problems in the employee's life in addition to the debt and credit problems the employee is experiencing. That's because psychosocial problems frequently produce financial problems. Garnishments could be symptoms of drug problems, marital crisis, depression and mental illness, and of course, compulsive shopping or gambling. It isn't easy to arrive at the point where one's wages are finally garnished. Many threatening letters, phone calls from creditors, and the like arrive first. A year or two could pass before a court case becomes a garnishment judgement.
Most organizations have considered referring employees with garnishments to the EAP, although historically such referrals were commonplace among core technology EAPs of the past. Breathe new life into your utilization rate. Set a meeting date with human resources and discuss the practice of employees being referred to the EAP as a result of wage garnishments. There are many ways to do it—from a simply mention in a letter, to a more formal management referral. Like any supervisor or management referral, be supportive when making employee wage garnishment referrals to the EAP.
3. Get your organization to refer such employees and you'll get the business and your utilization rate up. Draft a model letter for the employer(s) you serve, justify the rationale, and start getting these referrals.

So I had a little bit of bead making time yesterday (when the internet went down!!!) I wasn't really feeling it though. But this morning when I got only the cutest set of beads out of my kiln it has certainly inspired me to make more beads today!!! I made this set with only 3 colours, baby pink, baby blue and ivory. I actually really enjoyed making them... and they are alot more fuller than my usual sets which I really like!!
Also, last night I got all my jewellery sprawled out all over the living room floor and it turns out I have about 5 times more stock than I thought I had... so I am alot more happy about doing this craft show in less than a couple of weeks!!!
I'm gunna make a few more sets like this as well... very simple but so effective... Love em!
Anyway the first thing I'm gunna do is hoover up all the tiny shards of glass on the floor, because its getting a bit of a mess and would hate anyone to hurt their feet!!!!
Have a good tuesday !!!

In the aftermath of the nationwide ban on Telegram by the Russian government, the messaging app's founder and CEO, Pavel Durov, has vowed to do all he can to bypass the ban.
This, as he revealed in a press release on his Telegram channel, would appear to include offering tokens in Bitcoin to network administrators running socks5 proxies and Virtual Private Networks (VPNs).
The Ban on Telegram
The Russian government had announced a nationwide ban on Telegram after they were denied access to the company's encryption keys.
The ban went into effect shortly after and all Russian internet service providers blacklisted the messenger, crippling communications over mainstream channels.
To further prove their resolve to deny as many people access to the privacy-focused messenger, the Russian government went on to block millions of IP addresses—an effort in futility because 24 hours after the ban was put into effect, there were no significant losses in traffic on the Telegram network despite Russia hosting over 7 percent of Telegram's total user base.
But Durov wasn't unbothered by the government's flailing attempts at blocking users from using a messaging app with strong third-party cloud infrastructure and plenty of VPNs to go around.
As he stated, he was focused on helping every Russian Telegram user access the network with minimal hurdles, and he would do everything to achieve that.
Durov said on his Telegram channel that he has already pledged to donate millions of dollars in Bitcoin to users running socks5 proxies and VPNs to circumvent the ban in Russia. He calls this the "Digital Resistance," a decentralized movement seeking to create digital freedom on a global scale.
The Back-And-Forth Continues
The Russian government is willing to lift the ban, but at a cost that feels too steep for Durov: surrendering access to the private messages of its users.
The messaging app founder is not wavered, nevertheless. He is determined to keep fighting for the digital freedom of the people of Russia, and with the help of several other donors, he hopes he can achieve that and much more by the creation of a decentralized global network.
As he stated, Telegram's mission is to provide a private channel for communication, and to surrender the privacy aspect of it would be to go against their promises to their users. He would sooner have the messaging app shut down than to surrender the encryption keys to the government.
What's Next?
As the stand-off continues, Telegram's record-breaking Initial Coin Offering (ICO), which has reportedly reached a staggering $1.7 billion, is still the largest ICO witnessed to date.
ICOs are still relatively nascent and a source of uncharted territory for the regulators working to tackle this ever-expanding gray area.
Even without the mystery, reports of fraudulent ICOs have began to hit too close to home, with one of the most recent rackets involving virtual currency startup Centra.
Durov implied that his company had every intention of creating a decentralized ecosystem specifically for the purpose of bypassing obstacles like such. With an ICO as sizeable as his company's, many in the community feel that there may be no reason to doubt him.

For a period of about 3 weeks when I was about 6 years old, roaches would crawl into my room at night through a crevice in the window. I would wake up in the middle of the night and see 3 or 4 of them just sitting in the corner.
My big fear though, was that I would later wake up engulfed by them.
My dad fixed the window and that was the end of that.

Use more conditioner for coloured hair. These some times contains UV filters and claims to be better at protecting the colours from fading. Fine by me. The red shine in my hair seems to be vulnerable to sun-bleaching
I use as much UV-filter leave in-conditioner as I can. They can be kind of hard to find here though, at least for a price I'm willing to pay
Put my hair up in more covering and protecting styles
Bandannas and scarves are good. Also hats. Fake hair is great too: first of all it can cover the real hair a bit and second it makes a covered style look less covered. You can use pieces a shade lighter than your natural hair for "lightened by the sun"-summer look
The Tzinus bun
Scarved bun instruction:
1) Put hair up in a pony tail. Use lots of leave in or sun screen for the exposed hair
2) Fold a scarf into a triangle and stick one end up under the elastic with the majority of it hanging down. The darker and thicker the cloth, the less UV penetration! If you use a wet scarf you will get my favourite benefit from this style:
- If the scarf and hair is wet, the surface water will keep the hair and scalp cool. There's a moist "core" and the scarf will keep pulling the moisture out to the surface and evaporate thus cooling the entire bun for hours
4) Twist the hair and scarf like in a regular bun. Twist it as tight as you can to prevent the bun to get room enough to suck up salt water. You want to have only the tap water you used to wet the scarf and your leave in-conditioner in there
5) Coil it tightly around the base and twist like a basic cinnamon bun
6) Tie the two ends together on top of the bun and either leave them dangling or tuck them in
Tada! A style that completely shields the "tail" from sun and wind
Very secure and comfortable too! Plus it can even keep your head cool
The Tzinus ponytail
Two braids covered with a bandanna and with some fake bangs
Two braids, crossed at the neck and tucked up under a hat
Put the short end of the scarf on top of your head to keep it out of the coils

The word periodontal means "around the tooth". Periodontal disease attacks the gums and the bone that support the teeth. Plaque is a sticky film of food debris, bacteria, and saliva. If plaque is not removed, it turns into calculus (tartar). When plaque and calculus are not removed, they begin to destroy the gums and bone. Periodontal disease is characterized by red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
Four out of five people have periodontal disease and don't know it! Most people are not aware of it because the disease is usually painless in the early stages.
Not only is it the number one reason for tooth loss, research suggests that there may be a link between periodontal disease and other diseases such as, stroke, bacterial pneumonia, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and increased risk during pregnancy. Researchers are determining if inflammation and bacteria associated with periodontal disease affects these systemic diseases and conditions. Smoking also increases the risk of periodontal disease.
Good oral hygiene, a balanced diet, and regular dental visits can help reduce your risk of developing periodontal disease.
Signs and symptoms of periodontal disease:
I loved my experience at this office! Everyone there was very friendly and professional. The office is clean and state of the art. Dr. Sheffield and everyone that I met there made me feel relaxed and comfortable. I highly recommend Jackson dental:)
Brittany Vargas
I had the best dental experience by far at Dr. Jackson's office. His staff was welcoming, caring, and meticulous. His office has the most recent equipment. Dr. Jackson makes a conscious effort to explain what he needs to do, and how he will do it. Will definitely go back!

You would be hard pressed to find a more vocal supporter of box lacrosse than Nick Myers. A New Englander by birth, the 39-year-old has put his passion into practice for nearly two decades. When some coaches were showing moderate interest in the box game, Myers was jumping in with both feet.
"I was always a big basketball player. Box has such a basketball feel to it in terms of the up and down, the transition style, and the endurance," he said. "I am a huge believer in it. Players get so many more touches and confidence by playing in a small area instead of on a big field."
Last summer, the longtime Ohio State coach had the opportunity to help bring the box game to central Ohio as a founding member of the leadership team behind the Ohio Collegiate Box Lacrosse League (OCBLL). It was an easy decision for Myers, who joined Cleveland State Head Coach Dylan Sheridan and Resolute Lacrosse Founder and USBOXLA Coach Greg Bice.
At the time, Myers called the OCBLL a "game changer for summer lacrosse in the Ohio Community."
"This league will make Columbus a summer destination spot for those who want to play high-end box lacrosse and gain valuable work experience in one of the fastest growing cities in the USA," he said.
The birth of the National Collegiate Box Series (NCBS) occurred in 2017 through a unique collaboration between the University of Denver, Warrior Lacrosse, the Colorado Mammoth and the US Box Lacrosse Association (USBOXLA).
In 2018, the NCBS took a significant step forward with the Colorado Collegiate Box Lacrosse League expanding by two additional clubs (Blizzard and Red Hawks). USBOXLA also created the four-team Ohio Collegiate Box Lacrosse League (OCBLL), through a collaboration between Ohio State and Cleveland State.
Myers was one of the advocates for the expansion of the country's first college-aged box lacrosse league from Denver to Ohio. His support, however, went beyond comments in a press release. He encouraged his players to spend the summer in Columbus to compete in USBOXLA's newest box lacrosse league.
"It's awesome," said Myers. "We probably had at least three, if not four players on every one of those teams last year. I think we're going to have another eight to 12 guys in the league stay here this summer and play. You wish you had something like that growing up in New England. It's not Junior 'A' ball yet. Do I think it can be in time? Absolutely. It's certainly getting better and better. The guys really got into it."
The Buckeyes' players were instrumental in the success of the league in its inaugural season. In fact, Ohio State's 2018-19 roster features a dozen players who competed in the OCBLL. Jack Jasinski finished second in the league in scoring, while Nick Musci was tied for fifth in points. Logan Maccani and Colby Barker were also members of the Ohio Cup champion Rivermen.
I've got Jack Jasinski, who is one of our leading scorers right now, and he played in the league last year," said Myers. "Logan Maccani, the captain for me, played in the league last year. We've got a lot of alumni on our team from the first year of the league, and they benefited from playing all summer.
This year, he has seen his players flourish since they took their games indoors in the Ohio Collegiate Box Lacrosse League. The Buckeyes opened the season with an impressive 7-0 record, which included an 11-10 overtime win over Notre Dame on March 23.
"I definitely felt my ability to finish inside tight spaces improved from box, as well as my shooting," said Jasinski. "You're shooting at a much smaller target and in a much smaller window of time. I think that's helped me be able to see the field goal a lot better."
"I loved playing box," he added. "It's really a different type of physicality that you get in a box game than in a field game. Just being in tight spaces makes everything a little harder, and you get to get up and down the floor which I enjoyed. I would definitely have been playing box when I was younger if I had the chance."
Jasinski has continued his torrid scoring pace, leading OSU with 26 points. He has already tied his career high with 17 goals, and he only needs three points to pass last year's career best of 28. Playing in the OCBLL was a natural progression for Jasinski and his OSU teammates, who have incorporated box lacrosse drills and games into their workouts.
Since the 2017 season, Ohio State has made weekly 15-minute commutes to the Resolute Athletic Complex. The facility, which includes three box rinks, is run by Columbus-based Resolute Lacrosse. The program was one of the first to team up with USBOXLA and has established itself as a leader in lacrosse training and athlete development. Founded in 2009 by Ohio State lacrosse alumni and Major League Lacrosse all-stars Greg Bice and Anthony Kelly, Resolute Lacrosse "hosts position clinics, training sessions, individual lessons, coaching clinics, elite teams & camps."
"We went over once or twice during the week in the fall and once in the preseason," said Myers. "We just played box, and the guys loved it. It was a great workout, and the guys got better. For me, it was something that was definitely going to be part of our culture moving forward."
The 2017 team was loaded with Canadian talent, including Tre Leclaire, Jeff Henrik and future National Lacrosse League standouts Jake Withers, Austin Shanks, Eric Fannell and Johnny Pearson. The players from north of the border introduced many of their American teammates to the intricacies of the box game.
"My senior year we were the first school to play a regular box game weekly, every Tuesday, and I think it helped our team become slicker on offense, which is a style we like to play at OSU," said Shanks, who plays for the NLL's Rochester Knighthawks. "It made our team tougher as box is a much more skilled and physical game than field lacrosse. It gave us an edge over other teams. That year we made it to the NCAA Championship Game, so I believe it helped us tremendously as individuals and a team as a whole."
Ohio State players Eric Fannell, Austin Shanks and Jake Withers pictured during the 2017 NLL Entry Draft. These players were the first trio selected in the NLL Entry Draft from the same college.
That season was the best in school history as the Buckeyes advanced to the program's first-ever Final Four. Ohio State then knocked off Towson to play for its first-ever Division I men's lacrosse national title. Myers' team also set a program record by winning 16 games and producing six All-Americans.
"It was cool for those [Canadian] guys," said Myers. "When we were over in the box, they were coaching the guys. They were sharing the game and teaching people how they do things, and vice versa in field. It was a perfect team builder in a lot of ways."
More importantly, it gave players extra touches and emphasized the two-man game and finishing in tight spaces.
"Box helps my field game because it has made me more of a threat all around the field from shooting from bad angles, shooting twister shots that freeze goalies and catching in tight quarters," said Shanks. "It's much easier to finish inside on a field net then it is in a box. It also gives you a toughness edge by looking for contact and engaging defenders. Box can tremendously help anyone's field game on either side of the floor."
The influx of Canadian players in 2017 was not an anomaly, but rather the norm. Kids from cities like Peterborough, Ontario; Victoria, BC; Coquitlam, BC; and Vancouver have been playing in Columbus since the early 2000s. It's a culture that Myers was a part of during his two tenures at Ohio State. Myers began his coaching career as the volunteer coach for the Buckeyes for two seasons (2002, 2003) and then returned in 2006 after a short two-year stint at Butler University. In 2009, the Kennebunk, Maine, native took over the head coaching reigns and maintained the pipeline to Canadian talent.
"I started coaching at Ohio State in 2001, and we have prided ourselves over the last 20 years in recruiting Canada as well as anybody," said Myers. "I think that's where it started for me. Growing up in New England, I didn't have a lot of box experience. When I got out here, I had the chance to learn from some amazing coaches and amazing recruiters."
"I think it's relationships like anything," he added. "We worked hard with folks up in Vancouver, Victoria, Vancouver Island, and all the suburbs. We've had alumni from almost every major suburb in western Canada.
"You look at a Joel Dalgarno from PoCo [Port Coquitlam, BC], and a Bloomy [Jason Bloom] and [Stephen] McKinlay from Coquitlam. Obviously, Logan Schuss and now Tre from that Ladner-Delta area. We have guys like Jesse King from out in Victoria and Mike Pires, and I am leaving guys off. Johnny Pearson, another one in that class, who was from out west, and is doing big things now. To have that kind of representation shows that we've worked hard, not only in one suburb but in all these hotbeds."
This June, Myers will make an eight-day trip to Vancouver for the 15th straight summer to scout some of the top lacrosse players in the world. It was in nearby Burnaby that Myers first developed an appreciation and love for the box game. It was while observing Curt Malawsky's Junior "A" Lakers' practice where he received a crash course on box lacrosse.
"I can remember going to Coach [Curt] Malawsky in Burnaby, and he had an amazing team, and just being out there and going to one of their practices," said Myers. "Next thing I know, I have a legal pad with six or seven pages worth of notes on it. And I am coming back here and thinking to myself, there is so much here, in my opinion, that we can use. I wondered how can we use this to blend the field game even more, besides just recruiting these players to come down. That's how the wheels got turning. For me, I fell in love with it. As time progresses you start to evaluate it more and more."
If Nick Myers had it his way, every kid would start by playing box lacrosse. He also practices what he preaches as he coaches a Novice box team that includes his sons Mason and Zach. Every Sunday, Myers teaches the kindergarten to second graders the basics of box lacrosse.
"I think in box it's much easier to keep kids excited and in the mix regardless of how big, how fast, how tall, how small or how good their stick skills are. If you like running up and down, getting into the mix and bumping people, then you're in. You build on that. That to me is the biggest takeaway in not letting kids get frustrated with the sport early on."
Myers is a big believer in US Lacrosse's Lacrosse Athlete Development Model, which provides a curriculum to a parent who doesn't know the game. It teaches and breaks it down in small parts. That formula is the embodiment of box lacrosse.
"To me, that's what box does. It takes away any long stick and puts everything in a small-sided game. It creates more touches and simplifies the game. These are all things for a youth lacrosse player that are critical to their development. Whether you're an 8-year-old or an 18-year-old, there are so many positives that come from playing the game. As you get older, there's more of a degree of toughness, endurance, and speed to the game. There are so many layers. You are more of a position-less lacrosse player. I love that about box."
In August, Myers will help grow the game even more in Ohio as he takes his team to the prestigious USBOXLA Nationals. The event features 120 teams and over 1,800 players at The Rinks in both Huntington Beach and Irvine, Calif., from Aug. 2-4. Box lacrosse's ultimate showcase also includes the pre-tournament USBOXLA Academy clinic and Team USBOXLA versus the Canadian ALL-STARS showstopper games.
"I am putting together a team right now of Novice kids who I am going to take out to the tournament in California this summer," he said. "I'm excited about that. I think the key is getting young kids in that second, third, fourth, that Novice level, to fall in love with box. And not look at it as it's just indoor or something I do in the off-season.
"I think it's kids growing up loving box lacrosse and playing as much of it as they can. They can get introduced to the field game when they grow older. That's certainly not the case right now, but I think if it does get to that point, it would be a game changer."

Before you watch it, though, make sure you've already seen the "Where the Wild Things Are" trailer and are at least vaguely familiar with the children's book "Everyone Poops," or even its general concept. And even if you haven't seen or know shit, still make sure you watch this one; it's just that good:
