The Quinn Cottage
An Orcas Island Waterfront Retreat
The Quinn Cottage is a lovely waterfront home nestled on a sunny, wooded acre of land looking across Harney Channel to Shaw Island. The famous San Juan Island ferries and a continual parade of pleasure boats sail by the cottage's view throughout the day. The south-facing exposure catches the sunrise and sunset as well as all the sunlight and warmth possible through the seasons. It is a perfect location.
The cottage is just two miles from the Orcas Island ferry landing and public dock and the quaint Orcas Village with a well-stocked country market, shops and eateries, the Victorian era Orcas Hotel and Restaurant, movie rentals, whale watching excursion boats, and kayak rentals. Also two miles from the cottage is Bayhead Marina with boat slips and an easy boat and kayak launch ramp. Lake Killebrew, a small public lake only one mile away, is fun for fishing and exploration.
An abundance of wildlife can be enjoyed from this pretty seaside retreat: deer, rabbits, raccoons, otters, mink, seals, bald eagles, heron, and an endless variety of other sea, shore, and land birds. At low tide the rocks at the water's edge offer hours of exploration for oysters, starfish, crab, small fish, octopus, jelly fish, and other sea creatures.
Kayaking from this side of the island is fabulous. Other islands, coves, beaches, and villages are all within easy paddle distances. Rental guests are given information and advice so they can create their exciting kayaking adventures.
At night the sound of water lapping against the rocks and beach lulls visitors to sleep.
This light, airy, newly remodeled home has an open living room, dining room, and kitchen with vaulted ceilings, skylights, and floor to ceiling windows opening onto a large wrap-around main deck. The panoramic view from this 'great room' is stunning. It is also completely furnished with all the details of a cozy family cottage.
The main level has two bedrooms, both with Queen beds. The main level has a colorful bathroom with shower. The separate lower level is a very large bedroom with a main king bed area, a day bed and sitting niche, and its own bathroom with shower. It is connected to the upper level by exterior stairs and has its own private exterior entry. The water view is beautiful from this room's large windows. This serene lower level is perfect for a second couple or a children's getaway. It has its own books, games, television with cable and DVD, and plenty of space to relax.
All bedrooms have lovely pillows and spreads, cozy comforters, and high quality bedding and linens. The entire home has many European Bed and Breakfast touches and amenities.
Wood is supplied for the charming wood-burning stove in the living room. In addition every room in the home has its own baseboard heater and separate thermostat for year-round comfort.
The open, sunny kitchen is fully equipped for cooking, dining, and entertaining with lovely dishes, table ware, and linens. Even the gourmet cook will find the necessary appliances, cookware, bake ware, and utensils for any special recipe.
The pantry/laundry room has a washer and dryer, cleaning and laundry supplies, picnic ware, beach towels, and ample storage space. Many cooking essentials are available for use by the rental guest, including spices, herbs, coffee, tea, sugar and oils, and much more.
The large glassed-in upper deck and the water's edge lower deck have Adirondack chairs, dining tables, both gas and charcoal barbeques, a gas chiminea for 'camp fires,' and a double hammock. Both decks are lovely spots for reading, relaxing, dining, and the constant viewing of water and wildlife.
The landscaped areas around the house have whimsical pieces of "exterior art" and a full herb garden. The acre of land beyond the house is covered with mossy knolls and sunny fields, creating a cushion of peace for the cottage. No road noise can be heard from this serene spot.
Other amenities of this inviting home include wireless Broadband (high speed) internet, satellite television (Dish Network), puzzles and games, a large library of adult and children's books and movies, a DVD player, and an Ipod dock.
Orcas Island itself offers many adventures, including hiking, sea kayaking, lake and ocean fishing, boating, whale watching, canoeing, shopping, beachcombing, and biking, as well as day trips by ferry to other islands and Victoria, British Columbia.
The island has many local fairs and celebrations, open-air music concerts, quality live theatre, flea markets, garage sales, and farmers' markets.
Eastsound, the main village on the island, and a 15 to 20-minute drive from the Quinn Cottage through pastoral farmlands and beautiful mountain vistas, is a charming town with many restaurants, specialty shops, and a major super market.
A stay at the Quinn cottage leaves all visitors with lasting memories of adventure, escape, and rejuvenation. One of the Quinn Cottage vacationers said it this way: "As I sat on the cottage deck on the last day of our week's stay, watching the sun slowly set over the shimmering water in front of me, I got a lump in my throat knowing that I had to leave this amazing place. I could see why the Quinns have been coming here for more than thirty years and still can't wait to return. I knew that I would return as well."
We invite you to visit this special island and stay in our own magic spot, the Quinn Cottage. Please check our website calendar for available dates. We look forward to getting your request by email. Please also feel free to request by email additional photos, Google Map location, as well as more excerpts from the Quinn Cottage guest book.

We have been vacationing on Orcas Island with our five children since 1979, traveling from San Diego to the San Juans for numerous years in a motorhome. After the first trip the children would not consider missing a yearly Orcas visit. For many years we rented a barn on the island, storing our toys (boats, kayaks, berry pie-making gear), looking forward to trips of fishing, crabbing, hiking, lake swimming, and berry-picking. As Orcas Island more and more became 'home' to our children, they cried as we left it each trip, motivating us to find our own place on the island. So after many years of drooling over island property, we finally purchased our own piece of 'the rock' in 2004, making our dream of a Quinn Cottage a reality. Now our seven (so far!) grandchildren join in the trips, adding more fun, adventures, and memories about Orcas. We know that Orcas Island and our Quinn Cottage will continue to be a huge part of our family culture for years to come.
We invite you to visit and experience the magic yourself. Be prepared to fall in love with it as we did.
Jeff and Mary Quinn
Mary Quinn purchased this house in 2004
After renting vacation homes for years on Orcas Island, we learned that the amount of sunlight and warmth varied greatly from one place on the island to another, greatly impacting our vacation experience. So we narrowed our search to only south-facing, sun-filled spots for our own home. In addition to catching both the sunrise and sunset, the orientation of Quinn Cottage gives it hours more of sunlight each day compared to north or east facing locations on the island. Even on short winter days Quinn Cottage gets every minute of sun and light available. This makes cottage vacation days longer and warmer, with sunsets and twilights that go on and on. The huge cottage windows and multiple skylights flood the cozy cottage interior with this lovely light all year round.
It is difficult to express the wonder, peace, and privacy found at our Quinn Cottage. The magic of the warm, sunny southern exposure, with the sunrise and sunset across water and islands, as well as the romantic parade of ferries and boats, is a never-ending delight. The number of land and bird species that can be watched from the huge cottage windows and wraparound deck is awesome. The off-season change of landscape colors and wildlife, viewed from the interior living space with a cozy fire, makes the best escape imaginable.
Remembering our own experiences of years of renting summer homes on Orcas, we have been determined to make the Quinn Cottage an inviting, well-equipped, and charming place for our cottage rental guests to stay. Nothing pleases us more than to share our magic spot with others, so from the lovely furnishings to the spotless condition of the home, rental guests can tell immediately that they have made the perfect choice for their getaway. We love reading the glowing entries in our cottage guest book as well as receiving the grateful emails after guests' visits. We invite you to become one of our next cottage rental guests so you can also enjoy this very special place. Jeff and Mary Quinn
From the Quinn Cottage guest book:
"The view is amazing! Our favorite spot was sitting just above the tidepools looking at the purple and orange star fish and listening to the water lap on the shore. The cottage had everything we could possibly need and felt like home. What a treasure of a place."
I knew when I booked the Quinn Cottage it would be the perfect place for us on Orcas. Mary had sent to us a very detailed PDF on all we needed to know about as far as making ferry reservations, directions, food and all kinds of suggestions on what to do during our stay. We live in a very quiet place in Oregon and this fit our quiet natures perfectly. So many charming nooks and amazing views! The bedroom downstairs was roomy and what a great place to wake up in! I have rented many places, and this one was completely stocked with all you will need. It was a pleasure to share the Quinn's home and to feel all the love and care they put into it. Thank you!!
We had everything we needed and more. We would definitely stay again !
We absolutely loved our stay at Quinn Cottage. The house and view are even more spectacular in person! The Quinns have thought of every little detail; this is a fabulously appointed house that feels so private and away from it all, despite relatively nearby neighbors (none of whom we saw at all during our visit). We only stayed three days, and it wasn't nearly long enough - there is so much to do on Orcas, so be prepared to balance that against never wanting to leave this wonderful, cozy, comfortable cottage. While we lucked out with lovely weather (especially for mid-March), we can't wait to return during the summer in order to take full advantage of the amazing decks, hammock, and chiminea! One thing to note is that the downstairs bedroom suite is only accessible from the outside (via a very well-lit and easy set of steps leading down from the main deck); this only added to the overall charm as far as we were concerned (and we flipped a coin to see who got to sleep in the wonderfully private suite), but I thought I'd mention it in case it's a concern for anyone with mobility constraints, etc. The bottom line is that this house is truly fantastic and you will absolutely love staying here! We hope to return as soon as humanly possible.
We had a GREAT long weekend at this cute cottage. They have thought of everything you could ever need for the perfect Orcas Island vacation including information on all the best spots with tips on how to enjoy them best. The cottage is super cute and very clean. Not 5 star luxury but very nice and PERFECTLY appointed! We have older kids so the outside entrance for the downstairs room worked great for us but I know I would want to be well aware of it if my kids were little (there are 2 bedrooms in the house though). The owners were very responsive and helpful. The view is stunning!
Four of us, old college friends, spent a long weekend thoroughly enjoying this house and its surroundings. At first, the idea of going outside to get to the third bedroom seemed odd, but it wasn't an issue and the bedrooms all worked great. The view from the downstairs bedroom, the living room and the deckscsnt be beat. We watched the seals frolicking on logs nearby, experienced a big storm (so cool!), enjoyed a couple of nights by the wood burning stove. Although it's not a big place, it was very comfortable for the 4 of us and very well appointed. We even took two hikes nearby and enjoyed a stop at the local pub and brewery. A wonderful place to have a great weekend retreat!
We were a group of six friends celebrating a special birthday and what a perfect place to do it. We absolutely loved the house...beautiful inside and out, very well appointed, homey and comfortable. Lots of time spent on the deck admiring the view, the birds and seals who came every night to sleep on the deck. We packed in a lot of activity...Mt Constitution, Mountain Lake, Turtleback Mountain, Orcas Pottery, the fish hatchery, Rosario tour, whale watching boat trip, and visit to Friday Harbor. And five days was still not enough. I would certainly return. It was a magical experience.
Great tidepooling is fun at low tide directly in front of the house; it is possible to launch your kayak from the property depending on tides; just 2 miles away is an easy boat and kayak launch ramp and boat slips; Orcas Village is a lovely 2 mile walk or quick car trip away for groceries, coffee, or convenient island hopping on the ferry; owners share personal tourist information and help with trip planning; the cottage is well off the main road for country lane walks and total quiet and privacy; bird watchers find the cottage a paradise of discoveries with both native and migrating birds in full view from the windows and decks; children and adults are constantly amused by the fascinating parade of boats and ferries as well as seals and otters lounging on logs in front of the cottage; within walking distance is Killibrew Lake with exploring, fishing, and nature walks for the entire family; relaxing in the sun and enjoying meals on the deck are perhaps the favorite activities of all.

Parent & Family FAQs
UNT is required by FERPA to protect certain student information and application materials, however we strongly encourage you to talk to your students, help them research their programs, and to become an intricate part of their study abroad process!
- What are the benefits of sending my student abroad?
- What can I do to help prepare my student as they plan to travel abroad?
- What can I do to support my student while they are abroad?
- What is culture shock and how can it be managed?
- Further resources...
What are the benefits of sending my student abroad?
- Studying abroad allows students to grow and learn in a way not possible in the classroom. Students improve both academically and personally by studying abroad.
- Students gain cultural, historical and geographical knowledge through their experiences abroad.
- It also allows them to acquire a new a way of looking at things, themselves and their world.
- It increases their interest in other cultures, which encourages them to embrace diversity and become more accepting, understanding and less ethnocentric.
- On top of the academic and personal growth students can experience, studying abroad could also prove beneficial to them on a professional level. Studying abroad can give students the advantage of making global professional contacts and allows them to expand their ideas about a future career. It also makes them aware of the many opportunities that lie before them.
What can I do to help prepare my student as they plan to travel abroad?
- Ask your student if you can double check their paperwork to make sure it is in order. From passports to visas to health insurance and immunization forms, the task of keeping up with study abroad materials can become overwhelming.
- Sit down with your student and understand the requirements involved for going abroad.
- Ask your student to share the orientation materials s/he has received and read them in detail. Remember, every program is different, so be sure to seek these materials from your student and not the UNT Study Abroad Office.
- Pay attention to important due dates and program requirements.
- Review your student's program dates and assist with the flight arrangements (if necessary).
- Read through the details of your student's study abroad program with them before they leave.
- Plan ahead for handling family emergencies. Should such an emergency arise while your student is abroad, it is important to have a strategy for what to do.
- Get to know the country with your student. Read newspaper articles or magazines about the country and ensure they are aware and familiar with their current events and foreign policy.
- Remind them to keep an open mind about the new culture and traditions they are about to encounter. Prepare them to handle criticisms of their own culture and of the United States in general.
What can I do to support my student while they are abroad?
- Make sure your student knows they have your support by allowing them to make their own decisions, while ensuring that you stand behind them.
- Encourage your student to be independent by allowing them to solve problems on their own. While you will be available at home to support and guide them, it is important for them to understand how to solve problems autonomously if issues or frustrations arise during the study abroad process.
- Communication is key. Promote open communication between yourself and your student, and encourage them to communicate with their program coordinator.
- Remember to be there to listen. Help them with their integration into this new world, adjusting to new habits and applying them to their old life.
- Be there for their emotional ups and downs. Students will experience an array of emotions throughout their study abroad experience. Help by preparing them for the changes they are going to encounter. Their way of life as they know it will change quickly and often drastically, many times leading to emotional stress, sometimes called "culture shock." Students may have trouble adjusting to these changes.
What is culture shock and how can it be managed?
- Students who study abroad can experience feelings of isolation, sadness and frustration in their new environment. Personal growth often requires treading in unfamiliar territory and attempting to be successful in the way "success" is defined in the host country.
- Culture shock can be defined as a set of emotional reactions to the loss of perceptual reinforcement from one's own culture, to new culture stimuli which have little or no meaning, and to the misunderstanding of new and diverse experiences. There are 5 stages of culture shock students may experience.
- The first stage is known as the honeymoon stage. Students may experience this as they first arrive abroad. Everything is new, fun and exciting.
- However, as time goes by they may begin to run into difficulties such as language barriers or adjusting to their new living situations or daily habits. This first encounter with new frustrations and changes is the second stage of culture shock.
- At the third stage, students begin to gain a better understanding of the culture and start to adapt to their new environment
- The fourth stage involves a comparison and analysis of the pros and cons of each culture.
- Returning students often experience the final stage, reverse culture shock. They've acculturated to their host country and feel like a stranger at home. These feelings subside with time.
- To learn more about culture shock and helping your student cope from the first stage through the re-entry process, please see the WorldWide Classroom resource on cultural shock.

Stabilization of the chiral phase of the SU(6m) Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with m particles per site for m larger than 1
We show that, when N is a multiple of 6 (N = 6m, where m is an integer), the SU(N) Heisenberg model on the honeycomb lattice with m particles per site has a clear tendency toward chiral order as soon as m >= 2. This conclusion has been reached by a systematic variational Monte Carlo investigation of Gutzwiller projected wave functions as a function of m between the case of one particle per site (m = 1), for which the ground state has recently been shown to be in a plaquette singlet state, and the m -> 8 limit, where a mean-field approach has established that the ground state has chiral order. This demonstrates that the chiral phase can indeed be stabilized for not too large values of m, opening the way to its experimental realizations in other lattices.

She has a strong and attractive body, with good muscle tone. Merle's movements are supple, graceful, and athletic.
Oberon's bane is that she loves to indulge her senses with food and drink and can easily gain weight. She has an appetite for anything that stimulates the senses - sex, food, alcohol, and drugs. Discipline is a necessity for her. The negative side of a 5 Personality Number can give rise to an addictive personality.
Merle Oberon likes to dress fashionably and can get away with more colorful clothes. However, she should be aware of the value of quality and the power of modesty.
She is a little irresponsible and quick in satisfying her sensual urges. Merle is attractive and that, coupled with her innate ability to promote herself, makes it easy for her to satisfy her desire for new and exciting relationships.
Oberon has a kind of swashbuckling personality. People see her as the adventurer that she is. They expect the unexpected from her, and when they do not - Merle often surprises them.
Merle Oberon has a quick and eclectic mind. She attracts information from all directions, but she can be a bit superficial, skimming over the surface of a wide diversity of subjects. This may cause Merle to be a bit of a dilettante. She can get away with it much of the time, but for her own success and happiness, Oberon should try to ground knowledge and deepen her understanding.
Merle Oberon's versatility and adaptability make her capable of getting the most out of virtually every opportunity in life. She decides quickly on a course of action and her timing is usually good. Merle radiates with the potential for success, which attracts others who can further her along her path.

About Merle's Personality number

So on Friday night I am going on a date with my boyfriend (he doesn't care what I wear but I want to look nice and feel confident) we are going to a nice restaurant for a meal and then after it we are going to get a taxi to one of our favourite pubs and go for some drinks and have a few shots and just let loose. I always like to make the effort on a nightout. But since I is cold outside now I was just going to wear a red crop trip with black skinny jeans and wedges which I know is fine for the pub but since we're going to a restaurant I feel it might not be sophisticated enough. What do u think? Should I ditch the wedges and wear heels? Or go all out and wear a nice party dress? Or AV got shorts I could wear with tights but I wore shorts last time so want to switch it up. What would u do?

Maybe like a cowl neck sweater dress with leather leggings? looks pretty nice for a meal and a pub!11|00|0

I think that outfit sounds fine, you could always dress it up a little with accessories and your hairstyle. If you're not too sure maybe you could wear a cute LBD with some wedges or heels whichever you feel more comfortable in11|00|0

Ok girls, my first time on this site! Thought I'd ask a question. I have quite a big bum for a man, always have, and it's become more prominent since I've put on a little weight.
I'm 6'1, 21 and about 14 stone. I quite like my bum, but I think that's because I like girls with proportionally above average bottoms. Just wanted to hear what you guys think! I'd put up a picture but I don't know if that's a done thing here?
Thanks for any help and advice you can offer, it's really appreciated!
Most Helpful Girl
I prefer a nice thick juicy ass on a guy. Not too big or small, just like many guys like in their women. A nice side-view that you can smack and grab hold of.
Love your bum. I think it's attractive. (And don't put a picture of your butt up).11|00|0

Le Pacte de stabilité et les politiques budgétaires dans l'Union européenne
The Stability Pact imposes a 3%-of-GDP ceiling on national budget deficits. However, the yearly national stability programs describing medium-term public finance strategies, based on growth forecasts, have never been implemented in full and have had to be revised every year. In 2001, the economic slowdown has made the gap between commitments and achievements even wider. After presenting national stability programs, we offer an econometric evaluation of national fiscal policy rules in Europe and the US. This estimation also reveals the cyclical component in deficits. We then discuss ways of evaluating deficits to substitute for the current rule while maintaining reasonable discipline and credibility. We conclude that the British « golden rule », but based on the structural budget deficit excluding public investment, would dominate, avoiding pro-cyclical policies and leaving governments sufficient leeway for growth-friendly policies.

I going to try and be as quick as possible.
I dated this girl for 3 years, 2 of which were long distance. I met her when I was 22 and and she was 20. We met in the US and dated for a year before I had to relocate for my work (12h flight). Our long distance relationship was fine until she started becoming impatient and wanted me to be there to give her the constant attention she wanted ( I tried my best while away). This led to us breaking up several times and making up again.
A year ago she graduated and we had taken a trip where I found out about an incident (someone had tried to kiss her and she says that nothing happened, and she never told me because she enjoyed that persons company and didn't want me to worry about nothing) this led to a huge fight and I couldn't trust her anymore. After our trip she went back home and we broke up a week later.
since then we have had periods where we speak again and then it stops. she would call to tell me she met someone and it would drive me mad where I would start up talking to her regularly and she would break up with him in hopes that it would work between us but we could never agree ( I have to mention that we come from different background, religion, cultural, families) and it would be very to do so at distance. I tried dating but wasn't ready so just keep it to flirting right now. Recently she told me she met someone else and has been dating him now maybe 2 months or so. Now this is weird it get confusing. She told me that I love you and if I had to chose someone to be with it would be you, but you aren't doing anything for us to be together and you aren't trying to find a solution or a plan for us to be together so I cannot stay like this and wait for you. I have to live my life and if you decide you want to make this work than you tell me what the plan is. She even told me that told this guy that she is having a good time with him, but that she loves someone else to which he said OK I understand I've been there, if you will be with him I will not get in the way. I think he prob feels not threatened since I am far away but I didn't think that reaction was normal.
Im really confused now because I know we both still love each other, but there were to many problems and to many items to resolve before we could do anything and I don't know if it will work, plus she is not doing anything to help the situation and wants me to do all the thinking, her reasoning is I've done enough and you didn't do anything, so now I'm living my life and if you figure it you let me know. Plus she wants to put pressure because she wasn't to get engaged now ...
Any advice from lived experiences ?
Together, then long distance, then break up!
I going to try and be as quick as possible.
Have an opinion?
What Girls Said 1
To start out, I don't have any experiences with this much of a long distance. And this guy is making me suspicious too, that is not a normal reaction at all, he doesn't really like her. Another thing, if she thinks you didn't put forth the effort to get this relationship working, show her this post. You obviously care about her to the point where you have exhausted all other resources and if you both love each other, you can get over your differences and distance apart. You HAVE to trust her, maybe she just feels overwhelmed with the whole idea and thinks she is the one being faithful and patient while your siting wherever you are partying (I know when my boyfriend was away I thought he was having the time of his life and it drove me crazy because I thought he would find another girl to go along with) just make sure she knows that she is your one and only, and that no other girl will ever live up to her. Show her your vulnerabilities! Tell her how lost you are without her! and hey, if you remember the first time you guys met, maybe the next time your in town replay where your feelings first started, maybe that restaurant you took her out to first. it could work.00|00|0
the thing is now we are in separate cities (10h flight lol) and although I love her, I'm not sure that my family will accept her. I also don't like how she is with someone yet she still loves me and maybe wishes I do something. A common friend was telling me that she would be single if I was ready, but then what. there are so many things that have to be discussed like religion, families but she has her conditions. For instance she wants me to convert and is not willing to compromise
- Show AllShow Less
yeah these ideas will be good for a few months but after that it will not solve anything lol
Yeah she is just there saying I wish he came I wish he was here ...
How about the idea of calling her tomorrow and setting aside a few hours to talk things over? Make her listen to you, don't fight. Keep level headed. Listen to her points. Talk things through. Tell her everything you have brought up right now. There is no reason not to so don't make up excuses in your head. Tell her she is being controlling and unfair.

The last 25 years of his career has focused on reducing health disparities in the populations of Hawai'i and the US Affiliated Pacific Islands (USAPI – American Samoa, Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Republic of Palau) This work has been done through working with: migrant health care access, health workforce development, health policy regarding standards of care, systems based development utilizing a community-based, participatory approach, and developing key partnerships with health leadership and policymakers. These efforts have resulted in each of the USAPI jurisdictions and the USAPI Region in receiving Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) funds for their cancer programs and registry, and the establishment of the Cancer Council of the Pacific Islands.
Dr. Palafox has been the Principal Investigator of National Institutes of Health (NIH), CDC, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), and US Department of Energy programmatic and research grants. His first publication was entitled Transcultural Health Care: A Handbook for Health Care Professionals 1980.

He has been an invited speaker to the US President's Cancer Panel, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Union for International Cancer Control, and the US National Academy of Medicine. Currently, he is a Principal Investigator for a National Cancer Institute (NCI) grant to reduce cancer disparities in Hawai'i and Guam, and a CDC grant to decrease non-communicable in the US Affiliated Pacific Islands.

Direct Selling B2C Distribution Centers at the Heart of $32 Billion Retail Sales
Direct Selling B2C Distribution Centers at the Heart of $32 Billion Retail Sales
"Direct selling companies know that behind every successful consultant stands an army of people who are working hard to ensure the total customer experience is a highly successful and positive one. No matter how wonderful a product is or how fun an event has been, once the order is placed the customer experience is taken out of the hands of the consultant and turned over to those behind the scenes—the customer service rep, the warehouse manager, the picker/packer and the IT team member—who ultimately determine the overall satisfaction level of the customer," reported Direct Selling News.
The foundational functions of a business—from order processing to supply chain management to IT systems—are critical to success. A company's operational elements must be continuously maintained and constantly updated or the company eventually grinds to a halt. "Business to Consumer warehouses and distribution centers face unique challenges" according to John Hayes, founder and thought leader of No Risk Automation (www.NoRiskAutomation.com).
Hayes started the firm to inform and protect automation decision-makers. Hayes noted, "The company also targets large multi-site manufacturing and distribution customers that want to explore automation but does not wish to assign the resources nor has the appropriate resources readily available. The CEO and senior management often provide the leadership in forming an effective relationship with No Risk Automation."

With the arrival of Canada Day, what better way to spend the patriotic weekend then hanging outside drinking some delicious Canadian craft beers. Every year, breweries release their own take on beers that embody the summer season. Each offers a unique taste and are great to try during the coming hot months. Below are some recommendations for beers to pick up from the LCBO this weekend or hopefully, to find on tap in your area.
1. Great Lakes Brewery – Sunnyside Session IPA
Sunnyside Session IPA is a light beer with bold hops flavour infused with a little bit of citrus, such as lemon and grapefruit. Sometimes it can be hard to find a summer beer that is not a wheat beer, and Great Lakes Brewery does not disappoint. Right from the pour you can smell the hop flavours emerge and it has a clear gold colour. Incorporated into the brew are Citra, Cascade, Mosaic, Equinox and Amarillo hops. It's got a good body and a slight bitterness that makes the brew truly refreshing and extremely easy to drink. The perfect summer IPA; especially to drink when unwinding after work or hanging out with friends during the hot summer months.
2. Kensington Brewing Company – Watermelon Wheat
This fruity, summer brew infuses the fresh taste of watermelon into a wheat beer to make a sweet and thirst-quenching beverage. The watermelon flavour is similar to the sweet taste you get when drinking watermelon juice. I expected the beer to have a pink tinge to it, but instead it poured a cloudy gold. The beer can has a wonderfully crazy design with colours of pink, green and yellow. A crazy and fun outside that matches the beer inside it.
3. Black Oak Brewing Co. – Beat the Heat Belgian Style Wheat
Fruity flavours and notes of spice make this wheat brew complex. The balance between them results in a nice, refreshing summer drink. You can taste orange zest, coriander, and a bit of clove. This Belgian wheat is incredibly smooth, and despite its spicy and peppery flavours, ends on a sweet note. The label recommends pairing this beer with seafood, and I can imagine this going perfectly with some grilled shrimp at a backyard barbeque.
4. Muskoka Brewery – Summerweiss
This is the beer you want to be drinking when hanging out up north at a cottage, with the heat on your skin, while gazing at a picture-perfect lake. Muskoka Brewery's seasonal beer has summer in every sip. It gets its refreshing tastes from fruity flavours; most prominently lemon but other citrus notes as well. This easy drinking brew has a silky mouth feel that is often associated with wheat beers and has a subtle hop. This brewery is located in Bracebridge and takes pride in creating unfiltered craft beers using premium ingredients that are inspired by the heart of cottage country: so they obviously know how to make the perfect summer cottage brew.
5. Amsterdam Brewery – Oranje Weisse Summer White
This is your ideal summer patio beer to enjoy downtown, during an evening hanging out with close friends. I specifically picture a rooftop patio, with a great view of the hustle and bustle going on in the city. This brew has great Belgian-style wheat beer flavours, infusing spices from coriander and anise. It also has a delightful tang from bright orange and citrus infusion. The beer ends on a sweet high note; that reminds me of candied oranges. The brewery mentions the name of this beer is an ode to their Dutch heritage, named after the famous nickname of the Netherlands Football team. As someone also of Dutch culture, I can confirm Dutch people take great pride in the colour orange. When described this beer may sound similar to Black Oak's Beat the Heat, but it differs with more sweetness and fruitiness.
6. Kawartha Lakes Brewing Co. – Raspberry Wheat
When pouring this beer, it has a ruby tinge, and you can instantly smell the raspberry infusion. Obviously, when drinking this brew there is a robust and delicious raspberry taste through the entire taste profile, but it does evolve. This beer starts off sweet but then moves to a tart flavour, getting both the sweet and sour aspects of this delicate red fruit. However all this raspberry flavour isn't overpowering, you can tell you are still drinking a beer. Kawartha Lakes Brewing Co. is owned by Amsterdam Brewery, and you can find this beer along with the Oranje Summer White in Amsterdam's Summer Entertainer Mix Pack along with the 3 Speed Lager and Sweetwater Squeeze Radler.
7. Lake of Bays Brewing Co. – Wild North Summer Sunset Ale
Lake of Bays features Ontario grown Perle and Chinook hops and Canadian two-row barley in this summer ale. This light brew is slightly bitter, which adds a crisp taste. It also has notes of lemon zest that give it an absolute brightness. The beer pours clear and golden that matches the excellent forest sunset design on the can. This Baysville brewery, located up north, has a pretty simple philosophy and apparently sticks to it when crafting their brews: make great beer, run a down-to-earth business, and have fun.
8. Granville Island Brewing – Two Tides India Session Ale
Granville Island Brewery's seasonal summer brew will give you a break from all the citrus flavours and wheat beers typically found around this time. This laid back west coast beer from the Vancouver brewery gives off chill summer vibes, making it a great fresh brew to enjoy during the hot months. When poured, this amber coloured beer gives off a much hoppier smell than it tastes. It has a malty start, with a bitter hoppy middle but ends with a touch of sweetness reminiscent of honey. It also includes some biscuit and floral notes as well. Each Granville Island beer is named after iconic Vancouver locations, and it is a shame we aren't able to have more of their refreshing beers available here in Ontario.
9. Beau's All Natural Brewing Co. – Patio Saison
The Patio Saison is a beer with a smooth and light finish for a beer that is almost 6% ABV. Meanwhile, it does have a heavier mouthfeel than other beers with some spicy, and earthy undertones. This beer is mildly sweet, with floral and citrus notes like orange and lemon. It also tastes slightly wheaty but still has a good hop. Drinking this beer on a patio, hiding from the sun's rays in the shade seems like the ideal way to enjoy this brew. Another great wheat beer to try from the Vankleek Hill brewery this summer is Wag the Wolf.
10. Mill Street Brewery – Lemon Tea Beer
Another wheat beer style, but with tea-infused flavours that mix well with the brewing to create a great and unexpected summer taste. Orange pekoe and earl grey are prominent flavours in this beer. The lemon flavour provides an invigorating freshness along with floral characteristics. The beer finishes with a slight sweetness. This beer leaves you with the same feeling as a tea would, calm and relaxed. Although not included in Mill Street's Summer Sampler this year, this refreshing beer is a must try.
These are just some of the amazing summer beers you can find this season at the LCBO. Don't forget to check out what's on tap at your local brewery for some harder to find but must try summer brews. What is your favourite beer to keep cool this summer?

Good Tips On How To Live With Back Pain
As you get older you realize that your body is not quite the same as it used to be. It is quite a bit more susceptible to all sorts of back pain In reality, back pain can affect anyone. The following article will give some good pointers on what to do about back pain.
To prevent back pain, be sure to sleep on a mattress that has the right firmness for you. It is commonly understood that soft mattresses can be bad for backs. But mattresses that are excessively firm will cause painful pressure points, so you must find your happy medium between the two. Don't hesitate to shop around until you locate the exact mattress that meets your particular needs.
Try not to stress the same muscle groups over and over again, regardless of the stance or position you may be in. Avoid doing the same repetitive motion over and over again. Stay active and switch your movements around occasionally.
Make sure to always remember to stretch before you attempt any sort of exercise or physical activity. Stretching allows your back to get prepared for the activity to come. Forgetting this important step can lead to serious pain later on and that is what we want to avoid.
Regular chiropractor visits can help adjust your back and improve your posture. This is helpful if you are predisposed to back pain. Regular visits to a chiropractor will offer relief for small problems so they don't become bigger issues down the road.
Make sure to drink plenty of water to keep your muscles healthy and flexible. The human body is about 70 percent water, and everything, including your muscles and the discs in your spine, needs plenty of water to function properly. Drink plenty of water to keep you muscles healthy, and help those discs keep their shock-absorbing capabilities.
Ease pain in your back after hours of immobility at a desk by breaking to take a walk. Getting up to stretch and move your body will reduce the effects of compression on your spine and ease muscle cramping.
Quit smoking. Among all of its other health risks, smoking can reduce the blood supply to the vertebrae that make up your spine. This loss of blood flow results in degeneration of the disks, making them more susceptible to injury and damage. This sort of disk damage doesn't cause passing back pain but permanent injury.
There are tons of back pain medicines out there. It is crucial that you talk to you doctor before you make any decisions on which medications to take. Over the counter medicines can be helpful, but if they do not help then you must consult your doctor to get stronger medicines that require a prescription.
Contrary to popular belief, a person who suffers from a bad back should exercise frequently. Back pain sufferers may think that working out can worsen their pain when it actually helps. Stretching back muscle can actually help ease the back pain for a large amount of people.
Be sure that you do not wear a heavy backpack and watch how you have it positioned on your back. Having too much in your backpack can cause strain in your back, which can cause pain. Also, if you have it too high or too low, you risk straining your back.
Try sleeping on your side and place a pillow between your knees to help relieve and prevent back pain. The pillow between your knees will help keep you spine straight while you are sleeping so you can wake up feeling refreshed instead of sore. Consider buying a body-sized pillow for this purpose.
If you have chronic back pain and cannot figure out how to get rid of it, perhaps a new chair is in order, like a recliner or something softer than what you're sitting on now. A lot of people think that firm support is a must, but that's more to prevent pain. If you need to relieve it, go with something soft.
You can ease your back pains by relaxing. Try breathing exercises, meditation or perhaps yoga. Learn how to use relaxing breathing techniques to deal with your pain. This can help you to avoid a back pain crisis, or simply decrease your pain to a tolerable level.
As your teacher may have told you when you were young, you shouldn't have bad posture, so work to keep the right posture if you want to help ease your back pain. Always strive to keep your back straight, your shoulders squared, and your head high. This is the body's natural position.
As a back pain sufferer, a little bit of pain may actually make you feel better, so do not be afraid to exercise. The reason you feel pain is because the muscles are sore and stiff. If you can work through this and loosen the muscles up, you can do light exercise and help to get rid of the pain.
When you are lifting heavy objects, always lift at the knee. Bend your knees every time you reach down. If you bend at your waist, your chances of hurting your back are much higher. If you need to lift heavy objects often, you should wear a back brace to protect your back even further.
If you suffer from back pain, you need a comfortable chair. If engaged in for prolonged periods of time, sitting can place considerable compression on spinal discs. Investing in a solid but comfortable chair will aid in a big way. Find a chair that offers lumbar support and encourages good posture. You can also use arm rests to be seated the right way.
So as you can see, you do not have to feel like you are getting older because of the back pain that you are feeling. These tips will help you live a better freer life without the back pain that has been slowing you down. So do not waste a minute and put this advice to use.
