THE AVERAGE BLOKE WILL SPEND 315 DAYS (NEARLY ONE YEAR OF HIS LIFE)… IN THE BATHROOM, ACCORDING TO STUDY BY JUST FOR MEN CONTROL GX
Modern British will men spend almost ONE YEAR (315 days to be exact) of their lifetime in the bathroom, according to new research.
Researchers have revealed the extent to which the nation’s WCs are being taken over by males – with the typical bloke now spending TWO HOURS a week hogging the family bathroom for their ‘mantenance’ routine.
According to the poll of 1,000 males by Just for Men Control GX, the average man will spend a staggering 97 days of their life showering, a further 52 days shaving and a whopping 3.5 MONTHS simply sitting on the loo.
But when it comes to what men ACTUALLY get up to when locked in the loo – a quarter confessed to leisurely checking Facebook and Instagram, while one in five prefer to catch up on work emails.
Aside from personal hygiene, one in 12 men reckon some of their best ideas have come from when they were mulling things over in the toilet, while one in seven men said they came up with an ingenious, money-making scheme whilst in the shower.
Perhaps not surprisingly, one in 15 men admitted to spending too much time in the bathroom, the research reveals
.
A cringe-worthy nine percent enjoy striking poses in the bathroom mirror while no-one is looking, while one in five like to sit back and read a newspaper or magazine while relaxing on the toilet.
The poll also finds the typical man spends 17 minutes every week laboriously grooming their facial hair.
A spokesman for Just for Men Control GX, a product made for men to gradually reduce grey hair, said: “The assumption that it’s the women of the house hogging the bathroom is clearly way off.
“As the survey shows men like to retreat to the bathroom for a variety of reasons – with one in ten Brits actually hiding from their families to get some peace and quiet!”
To help uncover the truth about men’s bathroom time, the survey asked respondents what they use their time in the bathroom to do (apart from the obvious!).
TOP 10 BATHROOM ‘MANTENANCE’ ACTIVITIES
1. Surfing the internet (26%)
2. Check emails (21%)
3. Read magazine/paper/ book (19%)
4. Listen to the radio (13%)
5. Posting on social media (11%)
6. Posing/ looking in the mirror (9%)
7. Watch TV (8%)
8. Hide from my children for peace and quiet (5%)
9. Hide from partner/ family for peace and quiet (5%)

BOOK: Wicked Bugs (Young Reader’s Edition) Ages 8-12 By Amy stewart, Illustrated by Briony Morrow-Cribbs £10.99 Published October 2017, by Algonquin Books
TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
Did you know there are zombie bugs that not only eat other bugs but also inhabit and control their bodies? There’s even a wasp that delivers a perfectly-placed sting in a cockroach’s brain and then leads the roach around by its antennae — like a dog on a leash. Scorpions glow in ultraviolet light. Lots of bugs dine on corpses. And if you want to know how much it hurts to get stung by a bullet ant (hint: it really, really hurts), you can consult the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. It ranks the pain produced by ants and other stinging creatures. How does it work? Dr. Schmidt, the scientist who created it, voluntarily subjected himself to the stings of 150 species. Organized into thematic categories (Everyday Dangers, Unwelcome Invaders, Destructive Pests, and Terrible Threats) and featuring full-color illustrations by Briony Morrow-Cribbs, Wicked Bugs is an educational and creepy-cool guide to the worst of the worst of insects, arachnids, and other arthropods. This is the young readers adaptation of Amy Stewart’s bestselling book for adult readers

Today’s thriving maker culture is rubbing off on kids, who are hungry for hands-on guidance in creating stylish wearables and practical objects, or hacking and customizing existing ones.

From a woven patch and knitted backpack to an embroidered merit badge and a crocheted bracelet, the projects invite creative interpretation and variation and build confidence along with valuable life skills.

Hands-on design
With its transformable design, the dodil saves you money. The dodil-solution replaces a wide range of differently sized and shaped dildos of static design and questionable quality.

JML offer a range of great homes, garden, beauty and pet gadgets and have just released their Star Shower Slide Show- a moving fully coloured projector which will allow you to celebrate the day of the dead with a decorated home.
Star Shower Slideshow is the brightest, most colourful way to illuminate your home, inside or out, for the holidays or any special occasion. With specially-designed outdoor-friendly sliding technology, Star Shower Slideshow projects images of vampire bats, pumpkins, ghosts, snowmen, presents, baubles, Christmas trees and all kinds of great festive illustrations, swirling and overlapping on the walls of your home.
With a choice of twelve slides on various holiday themes, you’ll never run out of images for all your celebrations and festive occasions. Use outside in all weathers or, thanks to the indoor base, use it indoors for great parties and holiday get-togethers.
Fully coloured-in images in three different speeds.
Because Star Shower Slideshow is a projection and not a laser-drawn image, the bright, crisp LED-lit images are fully coloured-in and not single-colour outlines, so you really get the fully-illustrated feel of Christmas, Halloween and birthdays. Plus, you can adjust your slideshow to one of three speed settings – choose from ‘slow’, ‘fast’ and ‘freeze’ to suit the mood of your celebration.
Easy to install, even easier to use.
Unlike the hassle of traditional exterior festive lights, setting up Star Shower Slideshow is so easy you can do it in seconds. With a water-resistant casing, Star Shower Slideshow is safe in snow and rain, so just attach the ground stake and stick it into any soft lawn or garden area where it best suits the exterior of your house, and the indoor base allows you to create amazing party interiors too. Then, plug it into a single electrical outlet and it’s ready to go. To use Star Shower Slideshow just choose one of the 12 great slides, insert it and press play- it couldn’t be easier! Thanks to the super-efficient LED lights and projection motor, you never have to worry about energy costs, so you can leave your Star Shower Slideshow running as long as the holiday season lasts.

Explorer- a blend of bergamot, jasmine, Japanese grapefruit and a hint of peppermint
Aviator – a unique blend of jade, plum blossom and oud
The brand complements the adventurous lifestyles of founders, Chris Fredrickson and Anthony Tori, and is named after their grandfathers, Ulio and Jack, respectively. “Our grandfathers were no strangers to hard work and we try to model that in everything we do,” said Chris Fredrickson, co-founder, ulio&jack. “But, when we’re not working, we travel, and believe that a purpose-driven life is shaped through the experiences you endure. Our daily focus is to inspire people to get outdoors and live their lives.”

IN THE LINE OF FIRE
by Warren Gatland
The Inside Story From the Lions Head Coach
Published by Headline on 9th November 2017
Hardback, £20
The ultimate insider’s story of the most thrilling and epic British & Irish Lions tour to New Zealand for generations.
Warren Gatland’s In the Line of Fire is the ultimate chronicle of this summer’s remarkable Lions tour to New Zealand – home of the fearsome All Blacks, the double world champions – which culminated in an historic and nerve-shredding series draw.
The book is the Head Coach’s wonderfully candid and vibrant record of the withering ferocity, the turbulent peaks and troughs, the triumphs and despairs, of one of sport’s toughest challenges.
It gives rugby fans an unparalleled front-row seat with the squad and coaching team during every facet of preparing for and executing a successful tour on the opposite side of the planet, recounting intriguing details on everything from pre-tour planning and strategy, to on-tour experiences, analysis and decision-making.
It all adds up to a thrillingly definitive exposition and post-mortem of a mind-blowing six weeks in the cauldron which forged the mighty All Blacks.
Born in Hamilton, New Zealand, in 1963, Warren Gatland played rugby for the provincial side Waikato for eight years, and made 17 non-international appearances for the All Blacks, before turning to coaching.
He was the Head Coach of the British & Irish Lions squad which recorded an epic and thrilling Test series draw this summer against the mighty All Blacks. The result was the first time the Lions had not lost a series in New Zealand since 1971. Gatland also led the Lions on their triumphant tour of Australia in 2013, and he served as Assistant Coach on the 2009 tour of South Africa. He has been Head Coach of Wales since 2007, and in that time the Welsh have won the Grand Slam twice and the Six Nations three times. During his career, Gatland has also coached Connacht and the Irish national team, as well as Wasps.

“I think the concept of Dogtology is as fresh and unique as Chicken Soup for the Soul was two decades ago.” —Jack Canfield, co-creator, Chicken Soup for the Soul series
Bestselling Gift Book Celebrates Why
80 Million People Have a Fanatical Devotion to Their Dog
DOGTOLOGY
A Humorous Exploration of Man’s Fur-ocious Devotion to Dogs
Updated Second Edition
By Jeff Lazarus
FACEBOOK | GOOGLGE+ | TWITTER | YOUTUBE | PINTEREST | INSTAGRAM
“Funny and fresh, Dogtology is the definitive book of wisdom for anyone who believes in dog!”
—Nancy Levine, author of The Tao of Pug series (with Wilson the Pug)
With tongue planted firmly in cheek, author Jeff Lazarus tells in an LOL way how Dogtology is a belief that recognizes Dog as a genuinely “elevated” being and there are these Dogtologists who aren’t just fond of dogs – they laud them and plan their days/nights around the needs and wants of Dog. DOGTOLOGY: A Humorous Exploration of Man’s Fur-ocious Devotion to Dogs, is an updated second edition by Jeff Lazarus, (Publication: November 7, 2017; Skyhorse Publishing; Pets; ISBN-13: 978-1510726444; eBook/Hardcover: $14.95; 40 Dog Photos) which tells the story of man’s longstanding, fanatical devotion to dog.
Dog-tol-o-gy (noun)
1. The belief in Dog
2. The system of rituals, practices, and behaviors engaged in by Dogtologists
A whimsical, satirical celebration of the relationship between dogs and humans patterned after a religious text, Dogtology will resonate with dog lovers from all walks of life and every creed. Each of the seven chapters with 40 photos reveal additional proof that humans have a deep need to believe in something more ideal than themselves. Devotees of Dogtology will see themselves illustrated in the same system of rituals, practices and behaviors personified by other devoted orders the world over. Chew On This:
The Book of Bones – Defining Dogtology: its definition, its roots, and its DOG-MA
The Book of Leashes – Experiencing man’s attachment to Dog –emotionally, spiritually & literally
The Book of Collars – Witnessing man’s humanization of Dog
The Book of Barks – Observing the communication between man and Dog
The Book of Hydrants – Recognizing the rites and rituals of Dogtology
The Book of License – Asking oneself: who owns whom?
The Book of Realizations – Accepting and discovering Dogtology
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The veritable shrines humans build to their dogs—in their homes, around their communities, and in the media —are proof positive that Dogtology is indeed a bone-a-fide belief system that stands proudly alongside all the other great –isms and –ologies of the world. Have you been drinking the Dog’s water?

QUIZ: Are YOU a Dogtologist?
Do you count yourself among the millions of DOG followers? Are you drinking from the dog water bowl? Author Jeff Lazarus asks the reader to be honest with themselves. Are YOU experiencing these symptoms of Dogtology:
When watching a movie are you more concerned about the wellbeing of the dog than an entire city of humans being wiped off the map?
Have you canceled plans with a date or your friends to stay home with Twinkles?
Do you enjoy watching the antics of “Doug the Pug” on FB during lunch hour than actually going out for lunch?
Your wallet, iPad cover, laptop, sweatshirts and car windows have paw print decals and you display “I Heart Rescue Dogs” on every item you own
You only send greeting cards for holidays with phrases like “Muzzle Tov” or “Happy Bark Mitzvah” or “Happy Barktism”
You relentlessly email, Facebook post, Pinterest pin dog photos, dog-toons, dog videos and dog PowerPoint slideshows to everyone on your contact lists on every social media platform regardless of the thundering silence and lack of “likes” you receive in response.
Your dog groomer knows that the concept of “drop the dog off” does not apply to you, and you are allowed to wait in the staff lounge where you are given status reports every 15 minutes
You give holiday gifts to and from your dog – and spend more time getting these exactly right than you do your gifts for humans.
You happily purchase high-priced “gourmet” treats, such as “pupcakes” and “tail mix bars” for your hound while you live on Ramen Noodles to save on costs.
You understand the sole purpose for which cell-phone cameras were invented: to capture cunning and hilarious shots of dogs behind the steering wheels of cars … wearing sunglasses … and wearing Scottish beanies!
** Did you answer “Yes” to any of these indicators? Give yourself a dog treat because you are a bone-a-fide Dogtologist !

Hilarious Gift Book Highlights Humankind’s Devotion &
Tireless Purr-suit for the Love of Their Cat
CATAKISM
A Humorous Purr-spective on Humankind’s Obsession with Cats
By Jeff Lazarus
Do you bow to the meow? Are you one of the 70 million people who devote time and income to grooming, feeding, coddling, photographing, praising, and “entertaining” Cats? Does your Facebook page have more photos of your Cat than of your siblings? Do you buy furniture for your Cat in hopes that one day, he’ll actually sit on it? If an anthropologist from outer space were to study our civilization objectively, would she not conclude that our devotion to Cat amounted to nothing less than a full-blown religion? Would she be wrong?
Catakism is mankind’s unending and near-fanatical devotion to Cat. In fact, a Catakist does not consider Cat a pet but rather a minor deity, no a MAJOR deity. In this furr-ociously funny gift book, author Jeff Lazarus tells how Catakism is a belief that recognizes felines as elevated beings worthy of mankind’s near-religious reverence and devotion. Catakists aren’t just fond of Cats – they extol them and plan their days/nights around the needs and wants of Cat. CATAKISM: A Humorous Purr-spective on Humankind’s Obsession with Cats by Jeff Lazarus, (Publication: November 7, 2017; Skyhorse Publishing; Pets; ISBN-13: 978-1510726451; eBook/Hardcover: $14.95; 40 Cat Photos).
Cat-a-kis-m (noun)
1. The deep and reverent belief in Cat as a master, guru, mentor, sage, and ridiculous ball of cuteness
2. The devotional beliefs and rituals practiced by Catakists
Filled with 40 photos of kitties perched and poised, Catakism is a whimsical, satirical celebration of the relationship between cats and humans patterned after a religious doctrine. Catakism will resonate with cat lovers from all walks of life and every litter. Each of the nine chapters reveal additional proof that humans have a deep need to revere and bow to their house cat. Devotees of Catakism will see themselves exemplified in the same system of rituals, practices and behaviors personified by other devoted orders the world over.
Behold the Nine Books of Catakism:
The Book of Whiskers – As whiskers are a cat’s guide in life, this is a guide to Catakism
The Book of Knead – Cats knead us. We convince ourselves that we need cats
The Book of Surrender – Converting to Catakism and declaring one’s own faith
The Book of Cattitude – Dictators of the fur: the master-servant relationship humans
The Book of Cat Posts – An exploration of purr-aphernalia
The Book of Purrs – Learning the purrfect conversation and a sacred mantra
The Book of Hair Balls – Accepting the thrills and rituals of Catakism
The Book of the Mouse –The mysterious connection between Cats and computers
The Book of Litter –Kitty litter, litters of kitties and acceptance into the litter of the faithful
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. The veritable shrines humans build to their cats —in their homes, around their communities, and in the media —are proof positive that Cataksim is less about becoming the Crazy Cat Lady in your neighborhood and more about loving the exquisite blend of coolness, confidence, mystery and smarts exuded by cats. Have YOU been smitten to the kitten or been put under by the feline mind meld?

QUIZ: Are YOU a Catakist?
Do you count yourself among the millions of CAT worshippers? Have you been smitten to the kitten? Author Jeff Lazarus asks the reader to be honest with themselves. Are YOU experiencing these symptoms of Catakism:
You would rather saw off your own legs and crawl to the bathroom than remove a sleeping cat from your lap.
Every trip to Costco, your first purchase is four cases of Fancy Feast Mornings Souffle with White Meat Chicken, Garden Veggies and Egg. If you have any funds left over, you grab a five gallon drum of Kirkland corned beef hash for the humans
You devote 5 hours of every day to sleep, 6 hours to work and 13 hours to the posting of cat videos, cat memes, cat photos, cat GIFs, cat emoticons, cat apps and cat snippets of wisdom
After watching Extreme Cat Hoarders on TV, you turn to your mate and ask: “When are they going to get to the crazy stuff!?”
You are put off when your date/mate uses his fingers to grab a French fry from your plate, but think nothing of letting Simba buy his face in your ice cream bowl.
Only 25 percent of the surface area of your home is not occupied by cat trees, cat beds, litter boxes, scratching posts, cat hammocks, cat toys and cat swings. 100 percent of the surface area is covered with cat fur!
When you enter a home that doesn’t stink of litter box, you turn to your companion and whisper, “Does this place smell funny to you?”
** Did you answer “Yes” to any of these indicators? Give yourself a cat treat because you are the purr-fect Catakist !

Grow-your-own Christmas gift
Kitchen Gardens from the Espresso Mushroom Company
GOOGLE+ | TWITTER | FACEBOOK | INSTAGRAM
Grow-your-own Kitchen Gardens which feature two types of ultra-healthy Oyster mushrooms – White Pearl and Hot Pinks – will make a fabulous Christmas gift for many of your nearest and dearest, whether they’re foodies, eco-warrior parents who want to get their kids cooking or urban ‘farmers’.
Health benefits
Oyster mushrooms are a perfect food for a healthy heart! They are highly nutritious – rich in protein and plentiful in B vitamins, potassium and selenium, and help modulate blood cholesterol levels. Of all fungi, Oyster mushrooms contain the highest amount of antioxidant ergothioneine which helps prevent plaque build-up in your arteries. Oyster mushrooms’ antioxidants are also powerful enough to arrest many radical cells in our bodies.
Open up – Water – Grow – Harvest
The beautiful bouquets of the oyster mushrooms grow in four easy steps – just open the box, water, grow and harvest the mushrooms within less than two weeks. The cool White Pearl Oysters elegantly grow into a bouquet of delicious mushrooms, whilst the Hot Pinks come to life as
they open like tropical corals, ready to be cooked!
A treat for the taste buds
A great meat substitute, Oyster mushrooms are some of the most delicately flavoured and easiest to prepare of all mushrooms. Roast Oyster mushrooms, sprinkle with chopped flat-leaf parsley and serve as a nutritious Christmas dinner side dish.
Why not try White Pearl mushrooms risotto, Hot Pink sushi or a simple sauté with eggs and sourdough? Whether you decide to fry, stir-fry or add them to soups, Kitchen Gardens are bound to give any meal the ‘wow’ factor.
About us
We are a London-based start-up growing the Oyster mushrooms at a farm near Brighton. We came up with the unique recipe for the Kitchen Gardens and subsequently founded the Espresso Mushroom Company in 2012. The Kitchen Gardens are green too. They are grown on upcycled and organic coffee grounds collected from London’s cafés, which create environmentally friendly compost without leaving a coffee taste (with no caffeine included).
What’s the cost?
Hot Pinks Kitchen Gardens are £19.95; Pearl Oyster Kitchen Garden are £17.95. Free delivery
Order at www.espressomushroom.co.uk
Oyster Mushrooms are available in a selection of independent stores, farm shops and garden centres across the UK including the Kew Gardens’ gift shop, as well as on Amazon.
We have the pleasure to run classes as part of Raymond

EARTHSTONE ANNOUNCES A SAFER AND MORE EFFECTIVE WAY TO CLEAN GREEN AND GIFT GIVE FOR THE HOLIDAYS
SANTA FE, NEW MEXICO — November 6, 2017 — This coming holiday season, a small U.S. company is offering both DIY shoppers and those looking for a new cleaning advantage a safer and more effective way to clean green and gift give with its most popular products, including two that have been featured on national TV like Today, Good Morning America, and QVC. Earthstone International’s products not only work exceptionally well, but are sustainably made from 98% recycled glass so you’re giving the environment a gift, too!
A sound alternative to conventional cleaning tools, Earthstone’s abrasive cleaning blocks make great, practical stocking stuffers for DIY people and projects. And they won’t endanger your family, friend, pets or co-workers with toxic chemicals, or dangerous grill and oven wire brush bristles that can flake off onto food and household surfaces, get into your GI tract and send you to the ER.
Earthstone International’s all natural cleaning abrasives — GrillStone, BathStone, KitchenStone, ToiletStone and QuikSand– each have their own specific benefits and accolades. And they’re easy to find throughout the U.S. at Lowe’s, Menard’s, Walmart, Home Depot, Fred Meyer, Kroger, King Soopers, Smith’s, Dillon’s, Fryes stores, and Bed, Bath and Beyond, including online at Earthstone International www.earthstoneinternational.com or Amazon. Gift prices range from $9.99 – $4.99, making them ideal for stocking stuffers, or as gifts kids can easily afford to buy.
GRILLSTONE: The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has a long-standing warning since 2012 about wire grill brushes after numerous cases where people were rushed to the ER to have the tiny grill bristles which broke off, removed from their intestinal track. GrillStone is not only safer, it’s also more effective because it conforms to all sides of the grill grates and gets the job done faster without a lot of effort. Ideal for that person who loves to grill year round!

TOILETSTONE: Your guests are coming for the holidays, but that bathroom toilet with the water hard ring and rust stains, has always been a challenge. Now eliminating it altogether just got easier with the newest Earthstone cleaning block that won’t pose a poison risk to young kids in the home or expose you to toxic chemical fumes:
• According to Media Planet’s Wellness Guide, every year, 87,700 children alone are treated in hospital emergency rooms — and on average 39 children die every year — after unintentionally ingesting toxic household chemicals like hydrochloric acid. That’s why there’s always a DANGER warning on these product labels.
One happy customer noted he was going to buy a completely new toilet after failing to get rid of mineral stains in his old one exclaimed:
“I was close to spending $500 for a new green toilet since my old one had the calcium/lime stains that all super products and chemicals did not even attempt to remove. ToiletStone to the rescue! With a little elbow grease, our toilet looks brand new and our bank account is $500 richer. BRAVO! …and Thanks, ” wrote Joe, Newport, Washington.
• BathStone — ideal for hard water, soap scum, rust, mineral build-up, mold, and mildew on ceramic tiles and porcelain bathroom fixtures at the holidays or any time. It was also named the #2 best bathroom cleaner by a leading research authority in 2017.
• KitchenStone: Cleaning blocks that remove burnt food, from ovens, stoneware, ceramics, glassware, pots, pans, stove burners, and other cooking surfaces. Give it to your favorite chef!
• QuikSand: Sanding blocks to remove paint, smooth wood surfaces like walls, floors and boards and last longer than ordinary sandpaper. A DIY gift any woodworker will appreciate, or anyone on your list with a passion for projects inside and outside the home.

Framafoto is the most creative way to custom frame photos and printable art, on-the-go.
Now available in the U.S. App Store, Framafoto is the first custom framing app to offer consumers, as well as photographers and digital artists, a truly creative experience for custom framing photos or printable art, at any moment when inspiration strikes
The app innovates the custom framing process, doing away with the time-consuming hassle of separate printing and the self-mounting required with ready-made frames. It brings convenience, creativity, and affordability to high quality custom framing through a complete print, frame, and deliver service.
The intuitive UX is the first of its kind to solve the inflexible step-by-step process. Instead, it allows users to move forwards as well as backwards while making their creative decisions, continuously showing a preview and without losing their previous selections from the wide range of choices including frame size, style, color, layout, mat color, and photo paper.
The app also connects with various storage locations including Camera Roll, Dropbox, Flickr, Google Drive, Facebook, and Instagram. Users can upload images and preview them in their chosen frame, and save any shortlisted images into a Framafoto Album for quick access when deciding between their favorites. Additional features include edit functions such as image cropping, repositioning or replacement, and frame saving – allowing users to easily return and complete, or re-order, projects later.

THE DRIVING FORCE
There’s only one way to increase the pace… Accelerate. Experience a high-voltage, energy-packed race. Feel the adrenaline rushing through your veins. Inspired by the amazing speed and the remarkable dynamic of Jaguar sports cars, Jaguar Pace Accelerate is an exciting new addition to the range. Designed for a man with confidence and charisma. A man who thrives on challenges. A man whose fragrance reflects his drive for excellence.
THE FRAGRANCE
The first impression created by Jaguar Pace is of a stimulating trio of strong black pepper, fresh green apples and aromatic rosemary. The heady fragrance compound Cashmeran is what comes to the fore next. This raw material is the most important ingredient because it is very complex in character; a woody amber element with a spicy, almost peppery, fresh head note. The heart note is rounded off with aromatic lavender and luxurious orris, which marry elegantly with the classic, woody aromas of the base notes which include amberwood, patchouli and Crystal Moss. The overall fragrance experience creates a deep feeling of well-being that we can never tire of.
