RIU Palace Aruba | Couture Dress Session
If you have been following our blog and our week in Aruba from the beginning of July, you have heard the story of how the stars were aligned for Trish and I. Not only did we photograph the wonderful couple (Tabitha and Adam) that flew us to Aruba to cover their wedding, but while at the resort we met another couple from Toronto (Aileen and Ryan) which resulted in us photographing their wedding.
Well it did not end there! A week or so before we left for Aruba we had our standard pre-wedding meeting with Michelle and Jeff. They were getting married the Saturday before we flew to Aruba. Of course, prior to that meeting on facebook I had been counting down the days to Aruba in excitement so most of our friends and clients new what we were up to. Near the end of our meeting Michelle says to us. "Oh, by the way. We're going to be in Aruba at he same time as you guys for our Honeymoon." I'm sure Trish and I's jaws dropped and then huge smiles appeared on our faces. We couldn't believe that we would have two brides on the same island (little did we know at that point there would be a third), and as it turned out, 4 resorts away. Well we insisted that Michelle bring her wedding dress and we would do more photos.
So let me introduce you to Michelle and Jeff. A very genuine couple and Jeff is a business neighbor of ours. They honeymooned at the luxurious and architecturally stunning RIU Palace. We met them for a short session on the beach in front of the RIU Palace one morning and then back that same evening to create some twilight images. We hope you like them. The RIU has an infinity pool where the water falls off the edge. It was a great location to use with the main building in the back ground.
(Their wedding photography will be up soon, but first I have to finish with our Aruba adventure.)
Thanks Michelle and Jeff for bringing your wedding dress on your Honeymoon and being so open to anything. You guys rocked.
Your Aruba Wedding Photographers,
Trish and Trevor
PS. Thanks to the the Girls at WeddingFavours.ca for sending us to Aruba with the cool umbrella. It was handy in the bright hot sun and the colour was complimentary to the ocean.

Having recently been jailbroken the iPhone 4 has been opened up to an expansive new world of apps, tweaks and mods. One of the first tweaks I was looking forward to was Safari Download Manager and much to my dismay I found it to be incompatible with iOS 4. I attempted to use the Safari DL Plugin which is inadequate at best. In my search to fill the feature void I found myself relegated to Filer, a decent downloaded app from the app store. While it somewhat fulfilled my needs it was still a bit of a pain browsing and coming across something I sought to download, the ensuing steps either required copying the download link into filer or simply navigating to the page with filer's built-in browser and later navigating to the file in iFile. While this was an acceptable solution and even a half decent downloader I really would love those features in a browser rather than using the subpar solution built-in to filer. So began my search for a browser alternative which led me to iCab. Though iCab at times feels a bit unpolished and perhaps clumsy it offers an extremely feature rich alternative to Mobile Safari. With basically all of safari's features implemented in one way or another and the addition of a built in download manager, full screen browsing, installable modules for a plethora of other useful features including a source viewer, translations and many other goodies. iCab has also blessed us with multiple search engines, search in page, annoying ad filtering, security and privacy settings and a variety of customizations and configurations.
Some qualms I have are iCabs tabbed browsing implementation as I prefer safari's card style version. Also the search function could be improved upon; when one opts to search for something they must either select their preferred search engine as oppossed to a default in the app settings. This could for some be preferable as well as the tabbed browsing style provided with iCab. It really boils down to personal preference. Another caveat is the search in page implementation as its option exists in the standard search panel. The controls also take some but of getting used to for the mobile safari veteran though I'm sure it will come with time though the option of customizing the lower tool bar would certainly be welcomed!
Though I have only used iCab for a short while now I find it to be a great functional mobile safari alternative. I certainly prefer iCab to Opera on iOS. I have found it to have basically identical performance to safari and I assume it uses WebKit which allows for our beloved multi-touch gestures. While iCab still needs some polishing and tweaking I find it to be a great piece of software and well worth the few bucks. It may, in short order, actually replace mobile safari on my iPhone.
With all that said I'd love to hear some community input...What's your favorite third party browser? What have other peoples experiences with iCab been? Let me know!
Very active board I see! Lol

Summary Edit
The Apes plant what they want to.
Transcript Edit
{Cut to the meeting room. Userunknown is showing a slideshow}
USERUNKNOWN: So, the apes of garden are led by Hairy Potter. I believe that they have been stealing entire ecosystems. Any thoughts on this crisis?
K-BOT HR'D: Why don't we just take back the ecosystems then burn their planet?
SUPERDUDE: Didn't you hear him say that they have the best defences in the known universe? We would be killed in seconds!
THE SPART: I couldn't care less about those dirty apes! They smell, have low hygiene, and even worse, THEY DON'T HAVE A FASHION SENSE!! Us Felis-Cheatians are much more stylistic than them.
USERUNKNOWN: Shutup. You are a cat, you can not talk!
THE SPART: Not just a cat. A Cat Cheat Hybrid Species. I was created by The original Spart, my ancestor, mating with a stray cat.
SEPHIROTH: I owned the Spart.
USERUNKNOWN: {To The spart} Didn't need to know that, moving on. I suggest we send in a small strike team dressed up as female apes. {Note:they are like the ape from planet of the apes.}
THE SPART: Wait? Transvestite Apes!? Excuse me, but I am not Tim Curry!
USERUNKNOWN: No. We are going to use that rabbit.
{The camera pans right to show Bugs Bunny}
BUGS BUNNY:Eh, what's up, spart?
THE SPART: {Whistles, then presses the Rabbit Eject button. Bugs Bunny is launched out into space.} Oops. Accident...
USERUNKNOWN: You have to get him back, or we dress you up like a female ape.
CHAOS: Good news, everyone! I got my nephew to help on the ship! He was at Space DeVry getting his diploma!
JOSEPH: Sorry it took so long for me to get here. So, what should I do?
{K-Bot wobbles in. He has a disc labeled "ape_virus.exe" stuck in his disc drive.}
K-BOT HR'D: {COMPUTER VOICE} ERROR. ERROR. VIRUS PROGRAM INITIATED. DOES NOT COMPUTE. {clicks} WEDIR. COMPUTE NOT IT DOES. PICKLE. NO ViRUS ALLoWEd!?! MUSTN'T. ZBD. BElL i A'M. {normal} HELP ME! I went to explore the ape planet and they installed a virus program into my hard drive! The only way to stop this virus is to... {computer voice} LuiGI MAMa. ASSIMILATE MODE ACTIVATE. {Multiple guns appear all over K-Bots's body.} CLEANING MODE ACTIVATE. {K-bot's feet turn into soap brushes. One of the guns is replaced with a toilet brush.} GAMING MODE ACTIVATE. {K-Bot's eyes roll back and are replaced with a screen. NES controllers come out of his mouth. Super Mario Bros appears on the screen.} COMPUTE.
JOSEPH: I'll save me and some other people!
{Joseph pulls out the disc and eats it.}
{Ryan-X walks in}
RYAN-X: WHAT is going on...
{Cut to the opening. Fade in on the training room, where GR-01 and Userunknown are shooting moving targets. The words "Plant it on the Apes" fade in down the bottom, then fade back out.}
GR-01: {gets one} 27, {gets another} 28, {gets another} 29...
{Sephiroth comes in. OOC: Oh yeah, I'm gonna do the Opening and Closing Theme to this soon.}
SEPHIROTH: Hmm... Nice Accuracy. But, can you beat me? {Gets out a pistol, and shoots 200 targets in a minute.}
{GR-01, using speed and accuracy, gets 240 in a minute.}
RYAN-X: That's nothing. {shoots 241 in a minute}
SEPHIROTH: Hmm.. You're challenging me. BEAT THIS! {Gets out a Musket, and shoots 1000 targets in 10 seconds.} The slowest gun, and the fastest time.
K-BOT HR'D: Reoving the disc won't work, the virus was downloaded into my system! The only way to stop it is to... {robot voice} ERROR. ERROR. THOU SHALT NOT COMMIT ADULTERY.
SEPHIROTH: Hmm... Let me see. {Opens up K-Bot, and gets shocked.} Oww... The virus attacked me.. And short circuited my brain chip! {Sings the Red Dwarf theme.} Fun Fun Fun! In the sun sun sun!
{Chaos walks in with a chip, and puts it in GR-01's back. He turns off, then turns back on and pops toast out.}
CHAOS: I've decided to turn him into a toaster for now. I was hungry.
K-BOT HR'D: {open head catches fire} IEEEE! THE PAIN!!! {runs around screaming}
CHAOS: Oh, Boy! I was going to convert K-Bot into a microwave so I could make smores, but that's better!
{Chaos throws a rock at K-Bot, who falls down. He then begins to roast a marshmallow over his head.}
K-BOT HR'D: {still burning} The fire eliminated the virus, but now I'm dented and burning. {a marshmallow falls into K-Bot's head} Great, now I'm dented and burning with a melty marshmallow in my head! I think the fire is melting my {computer voice} system. If this continues, my system will stop runnin...{shuts down, fire goes out}
USERUNKNOWN: That can't be good. Well, I'm going to fight some apes with Superdude.
{Cuts to the planet. Userunknown and Superdude fighting apes}
USERUNKNOWN: Wow. This is easy.
SUPERDUDE: Uh, sir? I can't hold these guys back. Can you get us some help?
{Cut back to the ship. K-Bot is lying on the ground. The ship tilts, and he rolls into a computer. A wire attaches his hard drive to it. He reboots.}
K-BOT HR'D: What happened? Oh yeah, I caught fire and my hard drive melted. {notices wires} I guess the only thing keeping me alive is this computer. {sighs} Great. {looks at computer} Wait, isn't this the main computer?
{GIM2 walks over.}
GIM2: Hello there. By the looks of it, you'll probably be needing repairs?
{A voice is heard}
VOICE: Sleep mode: Termanated.
{After a few minutes CC walks out of a room}
CC: Hey, did I miss something. Cause It sure feels like I do.
K-BOT HR'D: I caught fire and my hard drive melted. I somehow managed to bond with the main computer, and that brought my systems up. Unfortunately, the wires connecting me to the computer are very short, so if I move form this spot, I'll be disconnected and shut down. I need a new permanent hard drive, as well as some replacement parts to replace anything that is broken of burnt.
{Chaos crams a new circuit board and chip inside, and K-Bot shoots out toast.}
{OOC:You CAN'T TALK when you're a toaster.}
{A spearer pops out of K-Bot's head.}
K-BOT HR'D: {through speaker} I'M NOT A TOASTER YOU JERK!! If you remove the board and fix me, I'll use a special power and make all much toast you can eat with one of my special powers!
{Chaos rips off the speaker.}
CHAOS: I needed one of these!
{A second speaker pops up.}
K-BOT HR'D: I hate you.
CHAOS: Yeah, We hate you, Superdude!
{K-Bot begins rapidly shooting flaming toast at Chaos, but he eats it all.}
CHAOS: Delicious!
K-BOT HR'D: Wait, I'm much more advanced than an ordinary robot, I can force any unwanted part of my system to shut down!
{K-Bot shuts down the toaster card. The speaker retracts, and he stops shooting toast.}
K-BOT HR'D: {normal} Now if you would just fix me, I'll make you as much toast as you want.
CHAOS: I'm good. I only made you a toaster because I was bored. I still have GR, who I've locked in a secret hiding place!
RYAN-X: What secret hiding place?
{Cut to inside a closet where GR-01 is still popping out toast. The closet is currently half full. Cut back.}
K-BOT HR'D: Uh Ryan, can you fix me? I need a new hard drive, a new head panel, and a bunch of memory chips and wires.
RYAN-X: Ok, hold on... {flies off and comes back with the needed parts, fixes K-Bot}
CHAOS: Now for the toaster installment! {plugs another toaster chip into Kirbychu.}
K-BOT HR'D: {ejects toaster chip} No thank you. {seals head so no new chips can be added, leaves}
{In the Room K-Bot is in, Chaos installs a Chip in him. He shoots out toast. He then ejects the chip.}
K-BOT HR'D: I hate you. {leaves the ship}
{Toast starts seeping out from under a nearby door.}
RYAN-X: What the?!
K-BOT HR'D: Chaos hid a toast-shooting robot in the closet.
RYAN-X: Well tell Chaos to shut him off before I have to reference the worst thing ever.
{OOC: I don't hate Youtube Poop, but you'd think after 7000 years Ryan would hate it.}
{A bunch of lazers point to Ryan-X.}
LAZER: Say it and die. {Points to a board of rules, in which one says "No Youtube Poop References.}
{OOC: In this time, anything mechanical has a personality, even the ship.}
{GIM2 walks over, opens the door where toast is seeping out, and a giant wave of toast floods over him.}
GIM2: Oh my!
THESTICK: {Walking in} Hi! What goes on? I was asleep. Can someone tell me what happened while I was asleep?
K-BOT HR'D: {in Ryan's voice} That's mama Luigi to you, Mario! {runs off}
{Cut back to Userunknown and Superdude on the planet. Userunknown is using his two-way radio}
USERUNKNOWN: Why won't any one pick up? We can't hold the apes back forever!
SUPERDUDE:Try a diffrent channel or frequency!
{Userunknown shoots 20 apes and turns the 2-way radio back on.}
USERUNKNOWN: This is Userunknown to ship, come in ship. I need backup now! I repeat, I need backup now! This is an order on priority code restricted! {occ:Restricted as in only very high ranking officers can use it, and it takes priority over all other orders.}
{TheStick picks up a radio}
THESTICK: {Speaking into radio} Hello Userunknown! Do you need backup?
USERUNKNOWN: Yes!
THESTICK: Don't worry! I've planted a bomb in the center of the planet that will detonate in several hours!
{Cut to the ship. JCM appears on the big screen.}
JCM: What's the problem, men?
K-BOT HR'D: Evil apes are stealing ecosystems, we're losing, I broke many times, one of our robots is flooding the ship with toast, the computer's slightly malfunctioning because I was using it to stay alive, {Chaos jams a toasgter card in K-Bot, K-Bot ejects it.} And Chaos is turning all the robots into toasters!
THE SPART: Apes? God. I hate those dirty apes!
JCM: {thinking} Hmm, apes = bananas and toast = bread. Banana bread! {talking} That reminds me, I haven't eaten breakfast yet! I'll be right back. {gets up and leaves}
{More toast starts slipping along the floor.}
{The Lazers start charging}
{The lazers fire at Ryan-X, charring him and his armour}
RYAN-X: Well, I guess that's over with...
{Ryan's robotic armour crumbles, leaving just Ryan's head and arms}
RYAN-X: Aw crap.
K-BOT HR'D: Armor replacement mode, activate. {new robotic armor appears around Ryan}
LAZER: {In GlaDOS's Voice.} We have warned you. Next time you break the rules, you will be destroyed, and then there will be cake.
{Cut back to Userunknown and Superdude, still shooting apes}
USERUNKNOWN:Oh, goo-WHAT!?!?!A BOMB!?!!?WE ARE ON THE PLANET AND WE CAN'T GET OFF!
{A bomb is heard blowning up}
SUPERDUDE:Uhh, sir?What was that?
{They turn around and see a huge wall of fire slowly moving in their direction}
USERUNKNOWN:{Talking into the 2-way radio}This is Userunknown to ship!Come in ship!The Stick put a bomb in the center of the planet and we're stuck on the planet!The bomb has gone off!I need evacuation now!This order is on priority code restricted!
K-BOT HR'D: Warp mode activate.
{Userunknown warps into the ship.}
USERUNKNOWN:Uhhhh, what about Superdude?
K-BOT HR'D: I think he was teleported into the bathroom.
SEPHIROTH: He was. I had to plunge him out. {Pulls out Plunger.}
{OOC: Wrap this up, I'm gonna end the episode now.}
{The planet is seen exploding in the background}
{JCM walks onto the big screen with banana bread with a bite in it in hand.}
JCM: Oh, you seem to have fixed it yourself. Continue on then. {leaves}

Tonight's televised leaders' debate will be most notable for one thing: the absence of Green Party of Ontario leader Frank de Jong.
Even with CTV and Decima Research polls showing the GPO solidly in double-digit figures, only a few percentage points behind the NDP, and with the party running a full slate of candidates across Ontario, the organizers of the televised debate have decided to maintain the status quo and feature only the NDP, PC, and Liberal leaders.
In the world of mainstream television, it's always better to play it safe than risk being relevant.
Let's hope Ontario citizens don't feel the same way about MMP - the mixed-member proportional electoral system which is the subject of a referendum in conjunction with the Oct. 10 election.
An MMP system would attempt to match the number of seats a party holds in the Legislature to its actual vote total. With 129 proposed seats in the Legislature, if the Greens continued to poll at 10%, we would see 13 Green MPP's at Queen's Park - which is 13 more than they have now with the exact same level of voter support.
A democratically-selected group of Ontario citizens, one from each riding, called the Citizens' Assembly on Electoral Reform, recommended the MMP system for Ontario almost unanimously after a year of research and consultation. Their plan consists of reducing the number of geographical ridings to 90 from the current 107, while simultaneously increasing the number of seats in the Legislature to 129 - about the number we used to have before the Harris PC government "downsized" it in the 1990s.
The extra 39 seats would be "proportional" seats, allocated to parties such that the overall makeup of the legislature closely reflects the popular vote.
Let's play out an imaginary scenario for the following general election in Ontario, assuming that the referendum were to pass.
The Green Party, if it were to maintain its current share of 10% of the popular vote yet elect no MPPs directly, would be assigned 13 proportional seats. Let's say the NDP achieved 15% of the popular vote, and elected 15 MPPs in the riding seats. They'd be entitled to 15% of the total of 129, or 19 seats in all - so they'd be assigned 4 of the proportional seats in addition to the 15 they'd won outright.
Were the Liberals to achieve, say, 40% of the popular vote and elect members in 45 ridings, they'd be assigned 6 proportional seats to bring their total to 40% of 129, or 51. Finally, to complete our speculative example, let's imagine the PCs won the remaining 30 of the 90 riding seats with 35% of the popular vote. They'd be assigned 16 proportional seats for a total of 46.
How would we determine who would actually occupy these proportionally-determined seats as MPPs? Each party would submit a ranked-order list of potential MPPs for public viewing. There would be no secrets - just as riding candidates today make their name, face, educational and vocational backgrounds, and positions on various issues public, so would the "list" candidates. Voters would be free to evaluate what kind of people each party was putting forth, and let that help determine their vote.
The other new twist the MMP system would bring is that there would be two choices made at the polling station, not just one. One choice would be for the local representative to fill the local seat, as today. The other choice would be for the party whose policies the voter prefers. The party might be the one that the voter's favoured local representative belongs to - or it might not. Either way, the party preference vote is the one that is counted towards determining the overall distribution of the seats at Queen's Park.
This system allows voters the best of both worlds. We would be able to vote for the individual candidate we think is the best representative for our riding without throwing our policy preferences out the window.
Under the MMP system, coalition governments would become the norm. Politicians of the various parties would be obliged to work with one another instead of automatically gainsaying every statement or decision made by their rivals. The quality of debate at Queen's Park and the behaviour of the MPPs would improve immensely. Progressive ideas would no longer be swept under the carpet by parties desperately trying to hold on to their false majorities.
If we'd brought in the MMP system 20 years ago, Bob Rae's NDP would never have been given a majority government with 38% of the popular vote and a raft of rookie ministers unprepared to handle such unearned power. Without the public backlash against the Rae government's policies, the Harris PCs would probably never have to come to power, and we wouldn't have an education system still trying to recover from the Harris slash-and-burn management style. We wouldn't have the McGuinty Liberals pushing a $46 nuclear expansion project through behind closed doors.
As the current beneficiaries of disproportional representation, McGuinty's Liberal government has been doing everything it can to keep the referendum from passing without actually appearing to be against it.
There most successful weapon in keeping the public ill-informed so far has been to severely limit Elections Ontario's ability to educate the public on the referendum and the proposed reform. This was accomplished by giving Elections Ontario vague legislation to deal with, so that time would be eaten up in forming the final referendum game plan. To make sure that the public wouldn't know much about it before the election period, they also made sure Elections Ontario had only enough money to promote the referendum during the campaign period, rather than educating the public well beforehand.
Given that we haven't had a referendum in Ontario in 70 years, and that hardly any of us have a solid understanding of the way the electoral system works currently, let alone what the alternatives are that exist around the world, one month is hardly enough for the public to be able to make an intelligent decision - especially when that month's news is totally consumed with the usual political soap opera stories. The public should have had a full calendar year to process the potential changes before being asked to vote on them - not a single month during which the referendum would be dwarfed by the campaigns of the political parties.
As always, the Liberal party's policy is to preserve the status quo at all costs, and avoid the risks associated with venturing any kind of substantial change - not unlike the television executives who continue to shut the Green Party out of the leaders' debates.
If we weren't saddled with the 19th century baggage of disproportional representation, the Mining Act, and the Ontario Municipal Board, if we weren't choking ourselves to death on auto-fumes and ticking away the days before global climate change destabilizes our ecology permanently, maybe this wouldn't be such a bad thing.
We can only ignore reality so long before it hits us in the face. Let's hope that Ontario citizens have more guts than do McGuinty's advisors and TV executives.
Next week I'll discuss the story behind New Zealand's switch to MMP in the 1990s, and how it has led to that country taking an international leadership role on climate change and ecological health.

Sponsored girl empowered to create change in her community
From World Vision, by Abby Stalsbroten:
"…Wendy is the third of six children. She and three of her siblings are sponsored through World Vision, which helps provide them and their community with nutritious food, a safe place to live, a good education, and regular health checkups. Those are some of the tangible benefits.
But the value of sponsorship goes beyond the physical. It also creates opportunities for children like Wendy to thrive and become leaders in their communities. World Vision supports different scholastic, religious, and service clubs through Wendy's school and church. She participates in no fewer than six of these.
"I like to participate," says Wendy, who earns excellent grades and helps care for her family. "I like to learn new things."

When necessary, family practitioners will provide referrals for conditions that require the expertise of another specialist.
The doctors may also provide physicals, inoculations, prenatal care, treat chronic diseases, like diabetes and asthma, and provide advice on disease prevention.

Information about group practices
What is a Group Practice?
According to The Medical Group Management Association, a group practice is any relationship between three or more physicians who share facilities, expenses, profits and other resources like support staff and equipment.
Group practices tend to fall into two categories: those that organize around a particular medical specialty and those that encompass several specialties like East Boston Neighborhood Health that specializes in internal medicine.
Why Group Practice?
As medicine became more complex in the twentieth century, the need for group practices made more sense. Physicians found it impossible to know everything about the emerging drugs and technologies on the medical landscape. In addition, the cost of providing a full range of diagnostic services, such as tests and X-rays, in one location became prohibitive to the individual practitioner. Hence, doctors from various disciplines began to team together in order to provide more comprehensive care to their community of patients.
Benefits of Group Practice
- Access to doctors from various disciplines for referrals and advice
- Better coverage on weekends and off-hours
- One-stop clinics for comprehensive care and testing

Just throwing out a quick survey. I was wondering the other day if it is harder or more intimidating for men or women to get naked on the beach? First timers input would be the most interesting. After you are inititated, there is no problem getting the clothes off.

It wasn't hard for me
Being that I'm a natural exhibitionist and like to be naked, the first time I went to Gunnison I was so excited and absolutely couldn't wait to get naked. Maybe some people might feel awkward, but the atmosphere and the people are so nice that any new person is welcomed and treated with respect. Nobody judges anybody and everyone is just having a great time.
I'm female and did not feel
I'm female and did not feel intimidated at all when I went this past Sun, but I can understand how some people (men or women) might. Different factors come into play such as self confidence, or inhibitions in general.
I think the ratio at Gunny

Little Alberta Country Fly
Common native fly in Alberta - name unknown. Crawls all over your exposed skin in the hot summer in the countryside. Seems to be more abundant where there is agriculture and cattle Can be annoying if you haven't learned to just live with them and ignore them. Seems like maybe they are getting some kind of food, or nourishment from your skin, or do they just like the warmth ? What else are they doing crawling all over you ? They are attracted to open sores on your skin - for a drink maybe ??. They are fairly quick, and therefore hard to swat and kill. They are smaller than a house fly and a little slower, and there is usually more than one around - crawling all over you - especially over your arms and hands. They seem to like hot sweating hands a lot. They buzz about you, and can be a real annoying little pest, if you haven't learned to get used to them and just live with them.
Little Alberta fly same as the above (some might say little annoying Alberta country fly) - on one of their favourite places - an exposed arm.
This fly may or may not be the same species as the one above. I have so many unanswered questions about these little fly's. Where do they lay their eggs - in dung, in dead animals, in rotting vegetation ? What are their mating rituals ? How many varieties of this particular fly are there here in Alberta ? How long does it take for the eggs to hatch ? What do the adults like to eat ? How long do these little guys live ? How do they over winter ? Do all the adults die over winter ? We really know so little about flies you know. What are they really doing crawling all over my skin - are they attracted to the salt of your sweat - do they just want a drink, do they just want to stay warm, are they eating dead skin, are they looking for some dead meat to lay eggs on, or do they just want to bug you ?

Box elder bug (bottom picture)- is a bug not a beetle. It is interesting and congregates around man's dwellings when the weather turns cold. We encountered many of them at Dinosaur Provincial Park in Southern Alberta in late fall. They were in the heated washroom at the campground - seemed to want to go someplace for warmth - hey who doesn't want to be warm. They were all over the place - even in the urinals - in the sink too and in the toilet. In the laundry room too. On the floor. Quizzed on the floor. Seems like they were doing something else besides getting out of the cold - mating. A bug has to stay warm and mate you know.

Having just come back from a holiday to the North West Territories in the middle of summer 2009, at the peak of the mosquito crop - Ray and the girls got plenty of practice swatting, slapping, crushing, and mashing " skeeters." It is hard to find anything positive about these little vampires, but here goes. Swatting them provides a person with exercise - a form of calestetics. Running from a hungry swarm of mosquitoes provides a person with aerobic exercise, and helps burn off calories. The drainage of your blood from these little blood suckers cleanses your body of bad blood, and stimulates it to make good blood. Swatting them with hand or swatter, or catching them in your hand and crushing them improves eye - hand coordination. All this new found activity - finding ways to keep from being eaten alive- stimulates the brain, and improves motor activity, and prevents one from getting lazy. And oh yes - you come away with a humble attitude - since they seem to be the real rulers of the North in summer.

Highly conceptual, intricately cerebral and ever- so-slightly pretentious, "Conceiving Ada" is a semi-science fictionsemi-biography of Ada Byron King, the daughter of amorous poet Lord Byronand the great-grandmother of the digital age.
The picture is directed by Bay Area multimedia artist LynnHershman Leeson and stars the deeply affecting and resonatingly intellectualTilda Swinton ("Orlando") as Ada, a thinker so ahead of her timethat most of her Victorian contemporaries couldn't dream of wrapping theirheads around her innovative mathematics.
The film taps into her genius -- she invented what is generallyacknowledged as the first computer language for partner Charles Babbage'srevolutionary analytical engine -- and into her frustration with Victorianconvention through a modern protagonist, a passionate computer prodigynamed Emmy (Francesca Faridany).

What is your favorite type of sushi?
I don't know its proper name but the salmon sashimi roll is my all-time favorite sushi!
Put your music on shuffle, what are the first 3 songs that come on?
I don't have all my music on my computer sadly but with the few songs I currently have, I shall share the first 3 songs that come out!
1.) BTS - 진격의 방탄 (The Rise of Bangtan)
2.) VIXX - 이별공식 (Love Equation) Instrumental version
3.) UNIQ - Luv Again (Chinese version)
wow~~~~ i'm glad my iTunes gave me a good variety! these are my top three k-pop groups i'm currently into~
What is the longest you've ever gone without any sleep?
It happened a couple weeks ago and it was about 27 hours i believe. i then took just a one or two hour nap and i had to carry on for the rest of my day. The next day I hibernated for about 12 hours and I was all better.
What's your favorite perfume?
I never wore perfume and personally it's not something I am interested in investing in.
What color are your eyes?
I consider them to be a pure brown color.
How do you learn best: by listening, watching, reading or doing?
Definitely by watching.
Which is your song of the week?
Wu Yifan - Time Boils Rain
This song continually makes me want to cryyyyyy. Love wyf and def love this song too.
What is one thing you will never do again?
Are you more of a dog person or a cat person?
Definitely a dog person. I wish I can play with cats but I'm allergic to them :(
What color shoes are you wearing today?
Pink :D
What is your favorite music band?
Music band? So like... A group that plays their own instruments?
It would def have to be CN Blue. Their music and talents are amazing~
If you could listen to only one song for the rest of your life, what would it be?
Ughhhhh that is a tough question ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
But... I think it would be EXO's "Baby Don't Cry." It is the best song I have ever heard thus far in k-pop.
Do they have any k-pop concerts in SF, I mean if they usually have a yearly concert. If they do then can you tell me when?
I don't know of any yearly concerts in SF. They only exist in LA as far as I know. I hope one day there could be yearly k-pop concerts in the bay area.
What musical instrument would you like to play?
I used to hate piano lessons as a kid but now I realllly wish I knew how to play the piano. I think it's really such a nice skill to have.
Are you Korean?
I am half-Chinese and half-Korean~
Do you live in Korea or America?
I have been living in Korea for about 15 months now!
What's the best thing you can purchase for $5?
A hefty good portion of Korean food at certain restaurants for less than $5!
Or there is also a pizza chain here that sells a 10-inch cheese pizza for under $5. I love buying food for under five bucks~
Is T-ara hated a lot in Korea?
From what I can tell, T-ara has definitely decreased in popularity ever since the Hwayoung issue came to light. I think Koreans in general see them in a not so good light and they haven't done any good songs ever since Hwayoung left the group. But the T-ara fandom seem to still be going strong? They are small but they are still loyal to the group.
What groups do you like the least or not prefer to listen to?
Mmmm... There are quite a few out there that I don't prefer listening to and I really hope this doesn't offend anyone! This is my personal opinion and taste and you are free to try and convince me to think otherwise.
Nine Muses, B.A.P, BTS, AOA, Rania, and Rainbow. (There should be more but these are the only ones I can think of for now.)
What is something you wish you were better at?
In order of most desired to least: Korean, Chinese, singing, and cooking.
Which are your favorite idol groups
I used to be a huge EXO fan but now it is dying down with all the drama going on with them so I personally only like them for their songs and some of their individual personalities.
Other overall kpop groups I like are VIXX, Beast, 4Minute, Apink, Akdong Musician, B1A4, and Infinite.
Do you believe the bullying scandal of T-ara?
I honestly really do believe it because of what Hwayoung said on her twitter. Also, I always feel that most k-pop girl groups would have internal fighting/bullying because... Girls will be girls.
When do you make a new episode or new airing
We record new segments every week!
What was the last thing you regret buying?
A toast sandwich a couple days ago. I only bought it cuz I was hungry but it wasn't that tasty ㅠㅠ

LOTL : February 2005
20 Films girl play butterfly clara's summer a woman's love MARDI GRAS FILM FESTIVAL IS ALWAYS A FEAST FOR THE EYES. BELINDA HAZELTON PREVIEWS A SELECTION OF LESBIAN FLICKS. GIRL PLAY Directed by Lee Friedlander Two actors, Robin Greenspan and Lacie Harmon (as themselves) are cast as lovers in a play. Robin is in a long-term relationship with Audrey, and Lacie is a free spirit who doesn't want commitment. However, as rehearsals intensify and director Gabriel (Dom DeLuise) encourages them to be more and more realistic in their intimate scenes, the women realise there is something going on between them that isn't just acting. This film is quite irresistible! It is based on Robin and Lacie's actual relationship, which began nine years ago, when they were rehearsing a play in Los Angeles in which they were cast as lovers. They tell their stories, largely in "talking heads" roles, intercut with flashbacks of key events in their lives and play scenes. The two leads are enormously engaging and funny, and their story will resonate with many. With its tightly written script, this film is just the right length and thoroughly entertaining. It has won many awards in the US and should be very popular here too. BUTTERFLY Directed by Yan Yan Mak 30-year-old schoolteacher Flavia (Josie Ho) has spent her life conforming and pleasing others. She is married and has a young daughter, but when she meets Yip (Tian Yuan) in her local supermarket, she is immediately drawn to the younger woman and soon they begin an affair. Flavia can' t help reminiscing about an earlier stage in her life when a relationship with a fellow schoolgirl ended dismally. She must now choose between following her heart and being true to herself, or remaining in her comfortable middle-class household with husband and child. I really wanted to like this film, as it is such a brave effort on the part of all involved. However, director/writer Yan Yan Mak has been too ambitious with her story. There are subplots involving Flavia's parents, two pupils from her school, and the political situation in China in 1989. She has used flashbacks prodigiously which serve only to confuse and detract from the body of the film. Butterfly should have been shorter and could also have benefited from clearer subtitles and an improved soundtrack. CLARA'S SUMMER Directed by Patrick Grandperret Two young friends, Clara (Selma Brook) and Zoe (Stephanie Sokolinski), excitedly plan their week away at summer camp. All Zoe wants is to lose her virginity, and it seems this will be easily achieved, until her target rejects her overtures. Despite this setback, Zoe is soon mixing with the "cool" kids, who ostracise and ridicule Clara. Left on her own, Clara becomes friendly with Sonia (Salomee Stevenin), who is also outside the camp's social clique. But unlike Clara, Sonia doesn't mind; she is self-confident and assured, revealing her bisexuality to Clara. However, Clara's confusion only grows, and she must endure further pain and derision before there are any glimmers of clarity in her life. Whilst not very original, this coming of age story has much to recommend it. The performances from the young, French cast are strong, and the film portrays credible teenage behaviour, with all its inconsistencies and doubts. It is well written and paced, and most importantly, as a depiction of the traumas of adolescence and puberty, it rings true. A WOMAN'S LOVE (UN AMOUR DE FEMME) Directed by Sylvie Verheyde Jeanne (Helene Fillieres) is unhappily married, and has a 7-year-old son. At a party, she enjoys a provocative performance given by Marie (Raffaela Anderson), an uninhibited dance teacher. BUTTERFLY

Low Testosterone Levels in Relation to Depression
This research paper focuses on a positive relationship between testosterone levels and depression in men. Such effective relationship that is a main focus of the essay, takes the form of low testosterone levels triggering depression causative agents, such as anxiety, low social activity, anorexia and insomnia. As male individuals grow older, their testosterone levels decrease. The researcher provides a reference, that for men aged between 20-40 years, only 1% has a diagnosys for low testosterone levels. Therefore, men who are above the age of 55 years are observed to have a low level of testosterone hormones. Low testosterone levels are also observed to affect the Serotonin levels in the body and notably the brain, which in turn impacts on an individual body activity, moods and stress, causing depression. This has a large bearing not only on their psychological and emotional state but also may turn affects on their levels of depression. This essay also discusses the terminology and description of adult's depression itself. It is described that depression is likely to be higher in women than men, until the age of 65, when the gender difference disappear, and the men become equally depressed as their female counterparts. Therefore, testosterone treatment and replacement for men who does not respond to conventional depression therapy is highly recommended all over the world nowadays, though with a clear scrutiny into the likelihood of the testosterone replacement in causing cancer. ...

Almost all vital organ systems in the human body need testosterone to work efficiently hence their functioning is also affected by a decrease in testosterone levels.

Because testosterone's serum level lowers as men become older, sexual fervor and strength also lowers, resulting in a higher risk for depressive symptoms. Decrease in testosterone levels can also cause impotence in mean, and this is usually another cause of depression (Grant & Potenza, 2007). Luckily...

|2,100 sq. ft.
|Property type
|Minimum Stay
|2 nights
Luxury abounds in this 2100 + sq.ft. (3Bed/2Bath) Wine Country retreat. This beautiful home is nestled in the "Valley of the Moon" in the heart of rolling hills, world renowned vineyards, wineries, restaurants and parks.
Farmhouse 148 is a spacious two-story mini estate constructed with amazing attention to detail and high-end finish work and complete with comfortably luxurious furnishings.
Throughout the home you will find elements of design that were salvaged and given new life, such as the antique oak hardwood floors (specially milled for the home), hand – picked fir beams and Italian stone floors which were surplus inventory purchased from an architect who procured all of the material for the Apple Stores.
The main floor houses a fantastic great room, gourmet kitchen, 1st bedroom, full bathroom, media room/extra guest space and laundry.
The delightful great room/kitchen area is perfect for entertaining.
The great room features vaulted open-beam ceilings, banks of windows, a spacious living area with comfortable seating and a large gas fireplace.
The fully stocked kitchen is a chef's dream with top-of-the-line Viking stainless steel appliances, honed granite counter tops, counter stools and a large wooden table that seats 8-10.
The 1st bedroom on the lower level opens to the peaceful backyard. The room has a very comfortable queen sized bed, walk-in closet and well-appointed bathroom with a shower/tub combination and cement sinks restored from Sonoma Cast Stone; a local high-end supplier of cast metal pieces. Open the sliding doors to enjoy the moonlit evenings.
The media room/extra guest space acts as a den by day and can be sectioned off by a sliding door to create a room by night. The den features a large, flat screen television and a sectional couch with a very comfortable pull-out queen sleeper sofa, designed by a company that furnishes the Ritz Carlton properties.
The upstairs houses the master bedroom and bathroom. In addition to a sitting area, the bedroom has a king sized TempurPedic bed, large closet and huge windows offering wonderful views of the backyard and countryside beyond.
The master bath is a spa haven. There is a large shower, soaking tub, dual concrete sinks and private water closet.

The Owner purchased this house in 2013
Beautiful, well appointed home within walking distance to tasting rooms, restaurants and parks.
Beautiful mini-estate in the heart of the 'Valley of the Moon.' This luxurious 2,100+ sq.ft. home is in close proximity to world renowned wineries, vineyards, restaurants and state parks. Beautifully appointed with high end finishes throughout--Farmhouse 148 is the perfect Wine Country retreat!
Myself and my 3 best friends stayed in this lovely farmhouse this past weekend to celebrate my 40th birthday and it was nothing short of Perfection!!! I was SO picky while searching for the perfect place to spend our vacation and this home exceeded all of our expectations and then some!! We loved the welcome card and comlimentary bottles of wine in the fridge and We couldn't stop ooohing and ahhhing as we walked around the home and the grounds when we first arrived. Every inch is impeccable in quality and we felt just so lucky to have stayed there! We slept like royalty, loved cooking in the Chef's kitchen, relaxed in the lounge chairs and hot tub outside and had a ball playing all the fun indoor and outdoor games they provided! We especially appreciated all of the organized and clear instructions on how to operate every single electronic item in the house...they made it so easy for this non-tech gal to figure out surround sound, TV linking, wifi, etc. We used the bikes for a quick and fun ride over to Kunde winery (highly recommend!!) and just walked down the street to VJB winery, also a favorite for their patio lunch and overall atmosphere! Highly recommend their margharita pizza with either a bottle of their Barbera or Prosecco! Their gelato is amazing too!! If you're even Considering this house, I promise you will not regret it and staying there will no doubt be the highlight of your trip as it was ours!! Can't wait to go back someday and bring my husband!
A group of us 5 women decided to leave the men at home and head to wine country for New Years. You never know what you will actually get when renting a place just based on pics. The farmhouse exceeded my expectations and then some! Such fantastic living room and kitchen area for us to all hang out and chat. The house was unbelievably stocked with anything you may need from pots, pans, olive oils ... you name it. When we first got there, the cleaning service had forgotten to leave pillow cases for pull out bed. We emailed the management company and they sent someone out within an hour. My friends and I are already considering booking for next year. Thanks for having us! Highly recommend!!
This house is amazing. It is very obvious that every little detail has been thought through to make this the best VRBO experience out there. Yes, it has comfortable beds, spacious living spaces, beautiful decor, movies, games, a beautiful back yard and hot tub, but when I say EVERY LITTLE DETAIL has been thought through, this is what I mean...
When you confirm your booking, you receive a very detailed operating manual for the entire house. Want to hear music indoor and out? They cover that in great detail with labels and detailed instructions complete with visual examples. Want to heat the place up or cool it down? The same attention has been payed to that. Interested in watching TV or a movie? They have plenty of options there on site, as well as the ability to log into your favorite streaming platforms and choose what you want from there. If you want to listen in surround sound, you'll get pictures and detailed instructions on how to make that happen too. Want to know where different utensils are located in the kitchen? Labels, everywhere. It is like a technical writer went through and made sure that your 80 year old grandmother wouldn't be crippled by the high tech amenities, but would be able to enjoy them without several phone calls on how to make these things work. The kicker was when I was taking a late night dip in the hot tub, and as I got out and began walking the path back into the house, the solar lights automatically lit up in sequence as I advanced to the stairs. Are you kidding me?!? They really have thought of everything!
As I was preparing meals for my girlfriends, I took full advantage of the 6 range viking stove and oven. While keeping components of the meal warm on the warming shelf, I was able to produce a hot and delicious meal at the same time, while still being able to relax while doing so. After, we were able to enjoy gourmet brewed coffee and delicious teas.
We hiked, we went horseback riding, we wine tasted, we ate well, we were able to walk to wineries and award winning restaurants and after my friends left my husband brought our two littles up for one night and we also had a terrific time.
If you are looking for a wine country getaway IT DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER. I have post Farmhouse148 depression now as I return to real life... I can't wait to return.
Had a great trip staying at this wonderfully appointed home. 6 girls from across the nation came together and had fun. We loved walking to many of the winerys. I would recommend to anyone who likes a bit more space and quiet than hotels or bed and breakfast provides.
We truly enjoyed the Farmhouse in Kenwood. What a beautiful and well-maintained home and excellent location. We loved the fully stocked kitchen, stylish decor and comfortable furnishings as well as the nicely landscaped backyard. Best of all was the close proximity to wineries, restaurants and nature--we walked down to VJB Winery for lunch and tastings as well as dinner at Cafe Citti. Highly recommended!
I've had the fortunate opportunity to spend several nights here, most recently over NYE, and it is by far one of the most incredible vacation rentals I have ever experienced. The owners have surely spent a great deal of time taking special care in every detail that would make a renter welcome into their property.
The photos are very accurate...what you see is what you get...but in person is even better! The design and furnishings are impeccable, and you instantly feel welcome the minute you walk in the door. It is a wonderful place for gathering good friends with good food and drink. The open floor plan allows you to stay connected with everyone but also allows you to find special little nooks for reading, watching a DVD, enjoying a quiet moment outside in the well-manicured backyard, or a relaxing moment in the hot tub.
This sweet farmhouse is located just down the street from some delicious tasting rooms and restaurants (literally a 2 minute walk) as well as a close drive to some of the most popular wineries in the Kenwood area.
If you are a "foodie" and enjoy cooking, this kitchen will be right up your alley! The owners thought of every detail in what a rookie or experienced chef could hope for. Everything is well organized and a great place for hosting a lovely, sit down dinner party...or just casual happy hour.
Overall, if you are looking for a high end, yet comfortable and charming place to share with friends or family, look no further. I will definitely be coming back to enjoy a lovely weekend getaway...or more!
Kenwood is a wonderful town and we are fortunate to have a spectacular home that is only blocks away from tasting rooms, wineries, parks and restaurants.
You can spend a few days tasting great wines without ever needing to get in your car. Or, start the day at some of the other wineries a few miles away, then come home, park the car and walk to the local places.
Some local tasting rooms within walking distance are:
VJB – right down the street on Shaw. It has wonderful wine and prosecco plus a woodburing oven for pizza and sandwiches. It also has a deli and small market.
En Garde - B Wise - Ty Canton - Orpheus - Mayo - Paradise Ridge - Naked - Saint Anne's Crossing and Muscardini are all within a short walking distance.
Within a short drive away you can be at Kunde, Deerfield, Ledson, St Francis, BR Cohn, Chateau St Jean, Kunde, Kaz, Loxton, Blackstone, Imagery and many more.
You can also walk to Café Citti for lunch or dinner. There are many other restaurants a short drive away in Glen Ellen (10 minutes), Sonoma (20 minutes) and Santa Rosa (20 minutes). Try the Glen Ellen Star, Fig Café or Yeti in Glen Ellen; all are excellent choices.
For convenience you can walk to the Kenwood grocery store, or a short drive away in Glen Ellen is a fabulous place; the Glen Ellen market. It has everything you need to create dinner or a gourmet picnic lunch.
Don't forget to try the farm stand (in season) with delicious strawberries and homemade jam right on Sonoma Highway.
And lastly, we can't forget the parks. Right down the street is Shaw Park. Other parks close by are Sonoma Valley Regional, Jack London State Park, Sugarloaf, Hood Mountain, Anadale and Spring Lake.
Standard cleaning fees will be added. A pet fee may be assesed for those bringing pets. Minimum night stay requirements vary throughout the seasons. A 11%-12% Transient Occupancy Tax is applied to rent and cleaning fees. Please contact us for a detailed quote: email@example.com

Has CBP scheduled a C-TPAT Validation (onsite audit) of your company or your foreign supplier/affiliate?
Are you confident that your company and/or your foreign supplier/affiliate is in compliance with the C-TPAT security criteria (requirements)?
CBP performs a C-TPAT Validation within 2-12 months after a company receives the C-TPAT Certification. C-TPAT Validations take place every 3-4 years after the initial Validation.
The purpose of a C-TPAT Validation of your company or business partner is to verify compliance with the C-TPAT Security Criteria and what was/has been documented in the Security Profile and uploaded to the C-TPAT Portal.
If your company is a U.S. importer, CBP will also conduct an on-site C-TPAT Validation of one of your foreign suppliers.
Your company must pass the domestic and foreign (if applicable) C-TPAT Validation(s) in order to maintain your C-TPAT Certified status.
CBP can select a foreign supplier/affiliate of yours that is certified in a supply chain security initiative that has a Mutual Recognition Arrangement (MRA) with CBP if it has been more than 4 years since their last Validation by their country's government. During the Validation, CBP will assess that business partner's compliance with the C-TPAT Security Criteria.
Our team of advisors can prepare your company for your upcoming domestic or foreign C-TPAT Validation.
We would perform an on-site C-TPAT Compliance Audit. During the visit we will:
- train key managers on requirements, benefits, criticality of complying at all times with the requirements and how to prepare for and pass the C-TPAT Validation.
- meet individually with key managers to understand their responsibilities
- review policies and procedures
- assess the physical security and access controls of the facility
Following the on-site C-TPAT Compliance Audit, we will provide your company with a C-TPAT Compliance Audit Report and Corrective Actions Plan.
We will develop all of the necessary policies, procedures and forms needed.
We will work with your company and/or your foreign supplier/affiliate to ensure compliance.
We can also be present during the C-TPAT Validation.
Do not take the risk of not being absolutely sure that your company or your foreign supplier/affiliate will pass the C-TPAT Validation.
Our assistance lets you focus on managing your business. Let's face it. Your organization isn't in the business of conducting assessments, but our company is and has been at the forefront for many years. With our company, you'll have assurance from experts to prepare your Company and/or your foreign suppliers/affiliates for the C-TPAT Validation, enabling you to focus on managing your business.
