YouTube sensation Zoella has been fiercely criticised for an advent calendar which costs a whopping £50 and only has 12 doors. Boots were forced to cut the price of the “Zoella 12 Days of Christmas Advent Calendar" after substantial numbers of customers vented their frustrations it was extortionate. The retailer will now be selling the Christmas calendar at the reduced price of £25 from 16 November. The calendar contains a cookie cutter, a small pack of confetti, a packet of seven stickers, a star-shaped cookie cutter, a small bag, a 130g "Festive Cookie" candle, a 30ml "Christmas Clementine" room spray, a pen, a fluffy key ring, a gingerbread man-shaped cookie cutter, a mini notepad and a 130g "Cosy Christmas" candle. The entire contents of the advent calendar, which is being sold at Boots and has received an overall rating of one and a half stars so far, can be purchased for about £20 separately.

Dog who disappeared on New Year’s Eve found months later on desert island 3 miles away
Firework displays on New Year’s Eve left a dog so frightened that it fled its home – and was eventually found months later on a remote island three miles away. The pooch, named Mel, had been left at her home near Itaipuacu Beach in Brazil on the evening of December 31, 2021, but as midnight approached and fireworks were set off the pup became spooked. Mel fled her home, jumped in the water and swam three miles away to the remote island of Ilhas Maricas (Maricas Islands), just off the coast of Marica, near Rio de Janeiro in south-eastern Brazil. Now months later the brave pup has been reunited with her owner Cassia Oliveira after fishermen heard her barking on the remote island. The 38-year-old said: “Mel got lost during the fireworks. Last week we received a message that she had been found by the fisherman. "We are happy and grateful to everyone who worked to rescue and help our dog." Manoel Moura, 60 told his colleague he could hear a dog barking, but they did not believe … [Read more...] about Dog who disappeared on New Year’s Eve found months later on desert island 3 miles away

Why gourmet food is going to the dogs
(CBS News) Who's to say that a dog's life has to be a dog's life when it comes to food? Certainly not the folks our Rita Braver has been talking with: If you think artisanal food is just for people, you haven't met Margaret Bishop and her five dogs. "They're my family, I mean they're, you know, some of the most important relationships I have in my life," Bishop said. So she lovingly serves them gourmet meals made from flash-frozen raw food. She buys the product directly from her neighbors, Norman and Carole King of Marshall, Va., who sell it right from their front porch freezer. Meat is the main ingredient, but there are vegetables, too. "We use kale, bok choy, collard greens, all kinds of good stuff," said Carole King. "So a health nut's dream!" said Braver. "It is! Eat up!" The Kings use only locally grown animals and produce, flash frozen to their specifications at a nearby plant. They and other advocates of the growing raw food movement believe the diet … [Read more...] about Why gourmet food is going to the dogs

According to the Met Office, the sudden change may cause flooding of homes and businesses tonight across London , Oxford, Plymouth, Brighton and Cardiff.

Yves Cherubin was UL’s bright spot on final day of Sun Belt meet
Yves Cherubin had reason to smile. A few minutes earlier, he had uncoiled his lanky frame and won the 110-meter hurdles at the Sun Belt Conference outdoor track and field championships at Cajun Track. His time of 13.71 was enough to surpass those who had a jump at the beginning. "I'm kind of tall," Cherubin said. "It takes me a while to unwind and get going, but when I hit my top speed, I can make that up. Once I got over that first hurdle, I was OK." Cherubin was the lone Cajun victor on Saturday's final day of the meet, and he was more than happy to share his good vibrations with fans. "For me, hosting the meet was a good thing," he said. "For me, it was a positive experience. I've been practicing on this track for three years, and it's good to share this with our fans who have supported us." Cherubin, who has a personal best 13.65 to his credit, is looking for more success. "I'll go to the NCAA regionals, and if I can do well there I can make … [Read more...] about Yves Cherubin was UL’s bright spot on final day of Sun Belt meet
