England's selectors signalled the probable end of Steve Harmison's international career as he was left out of the Test squad to tour South Africa. His Durham team-mate Liam Plunkett was given a call-up, along with Steve Davies, Adil Rashid and Luke Wright. Jonathan Trott, the batsman who hit a century on debut, was retained. But Ravi Bopara found himself out of both the Test and one-day squads, with Lancashire fast bowler Sajid Mahmood...more

The right pet travel carriers can make your journey less stressful for your beloved pets and less of a hassle for you. But what constitutes ideal dog carriers, cat carriers, and bird carriers? That depends upon your preferences, but there are many available from which to choose.Pet Wheeled CarriersTypically, a pet wheeled carrier has a handle that makes it easy to pull, and some convert to backpacks, car seats and beds.

The entire philosophy of the network marketing industry is financial freedom - the ability for you to do whatever you want, wherever you want, whenever you want with whoever you want. A network marketing business is supposed to be something that you work hard for a few years to build once, then you should be able to retire to enjoy the fruits of your labour and your business should still grow autonomously. So with that in mind, I want to share with you a little experience I had. A while ago, I thought about joining a relatively new MLM company. I was attracted to the company's business philosophy and its products. But thanks to training I had received from my mentor, I made a wise decision not to join this company - as good as its products were and all.

That's because the company had "ongoing" activity clauses in its contract. In fact, many MLM companies have the exact same clauses in their policies and procedures as the ones I am about to show you. As I read through the P &...more
