text: I moved around a lot when I was younger. I was born in Italy, and over the next seven years I lived in a total of four places. This was due to my father being in the military. My mother secretly hated moving so much, though she never said anything until long afterwards. There is a reason for this. You see, my family has been clinically diagnosed as codependent. What that means, for those who don't know, is that everybody in my family takes responsibility for somebody else's emotional state, each of us keeping another in their thrall to serve their emotional needs because we're each too busy serving someone else's emotional needs to take care of ourselves. This has been dealt with, to a large extent, but it nonetheless had a huge impact on my childhood. - - - One of the ways that it affected my childhood is that the stress stunted my growth. I'm at the 10% percentile for male adult height in the US, and it's certainly not for lack of fresh air, food, and exercise. (I mountain bike, I lived next to a forest for years, and everybody in my family knows how to cook well.) So I've always been short and I used to be weak and vulnerable to emotional abuse -- at least I wasn't fat as well. Not a good combination, nevertheless. While I was living in Central VA from 1989 to 2000, I went to a total of six different schools from second grade to ninth grade. This was due to a vicious cycle of being lonely and singled out, being molested relentlessly by almost everybody, being miserable because of it, and being moved to a different school to be lonely and singled out yet again. High school was marginally better, partly because I had begun to sense on an instinctive level that I needed to stick my problems out instead of being swept off by my parents to a new place where I once again wouldn't know anybody. It was only because I did stay at the same high school for all four years that I was able to make such a revolutionary change in my life during my senior year; I knew people and they knew me, even if they didn't like the kind of person they thought I was. In the early fall of 1999, after being inspired by my big-city cousin's bleached hair and snazzy MiniDisc player, (god, what a stereotype that is!) I borrowed the look from him. The effect was incredible; I walked into school and literally nobody recognized me. I sat down in class -- got up, bought a soda -- sat back down -- and about five minutes later the person behind me yelled, "holy shit!" With me at the center, an expanding ring of astonishment and muttered curses reverberated throughout the room. There are not many times in a person's life when they can feel their life change direction; some people, I suppose, may never have such an experience. This was such an experience. The effect from a simple change of appearance was so strong that, in the brief time that nobody knew what to think of me, I rebuilt my image as a person worth paying attention to. I still get a little zing of adrenaline when I recall that instant. There was a problem, though. While I had suddenly become somebody in the eyes of my peers, it was the last year of high school and I had missed out on the previous eight years of social development. (it would have been ten years, were it not for a smart-kid school I attended for a while.) I managed to keep from embarassing the hell out of myself (or at least managed to roll it into a joke when I did embarass the hell out of myself), but after graduation everybody expectedly went their separate ways, as did I, and that was the end of that. I went to college in New Jersey. I knew I needed a change, and Jersey was definitely a change from Lynchburg, VA, Jerry Falwell's town, the home of the moral majority. As much as the change was refreshing, I was also completely unprepared to deal with it. I spent the next four years with the same four people. I did keep up with their rate of maturation, but I never did catch up to where they were. As far as spending time with people not like myself, well, that rarely happened at all. The problem wasn't that I didn't want to expand my social horizons, the problem was that I didn't know how. I could go to a party and drink and sit on the couch and be invisible. While I was (and am) good enough at interacting with people my own age to keep from scaring them away, I didn't (and don't) know enough about human behavior to be proactive and actually find people to spend time with. All of the people who are my friends at this point are people who found me. Too bad everybody's moving in opposite directions while they try to build lives for themselves. - - - So now I'm working full-time in a small office, living on my own, working out a couple of times a week, doing pretty well all in all -- and spending all of my time either at work, at my father's house, on the trail, or alone at home. Not only am I not interested in the kinds of things that twenty-somethings do for fun, I'm not even any good at pretending that I'm interested in them. And god help me if I should attract the attention of a woman, I feel like I'm being preyed upon because of my lack of understanding of what the hell I'm supposed to be doing. (don't get me wrong, I'm a smart guy and my instincts carry me through well enough, thank god, but I have to suppress involuntary shivers the whole time.) I don't know how to make up so much lost time. I don't even know if I want to go through the psychological pain of trying to grow that part of me at many times the speed it should have grown at. Part of me wants to be a victim of circumstance, and another part of me knows that's stupid. So, for lack of any better plan, I continue to maintain the status quo.

Overall service is good, however a few small things to consider
When I login initially, then select a hotel to book the system does not remember my details, I have to login again, bit anoying.
The system now defaults to 2 persons, I have on occasion changed this in the search but then it defaults again when I go to book the room.
I notice that a lot of hotels now don't include breakfast in their pricing, in some cases you can add breakfast but not all.
What about some loyaly system for frequent user ?

BURNSVILLE, Minn. - The Better Business Bureau (BBB) has revoked the accreditation of Minnesota-based MyPillow, lowering its rating to an F based on a pattern of complaints by consumers.
The BBB made the decision after reviewing Chaska-based MyPillow's "buy one get one free" offer, which violates the organization's code of advertising.
"Among other issues, BBB has attempted to persuade MyPillow to discontinue their "buy one get one free" (BOGO)/other discount offers without success," said Dana Badgerow, president and CEO of BBB of Minnesota and North Dakota. "Continuous BOGO offers, which can then be construed as an item's regular, everyday price, violate not only BBB's Code of Advertising - which all BBB Accredited Businesses agree to abide by - but also other state and national organizations' rules."
BBB's Code of Advertising requires that an offer need to be extended for a limited time, or it becomes a continuous offer and therefore the normal price of the product – not a sale price or free offer. In the case of MyPillow, the BBB says anyone can get the BOGO discount codes, and if a prospective customer calls the company without one, they can get the BOGO deal, regardless.
MyPillow owner and CEO Mike Lindell responded to the BBB allegations by stating he would not be able to stop the company's BOGO offer at this time, but would look at making changes in 2017. When pressed on what type of changes the company would make, Lindell was non-specific.
The BOGO complaint was not the only issue or complaint the BBB brought to MyPillow's attention.
- "As Seen on TV" claims are sometimes listed on MyPillow boxes where the content is NOT the same as seen on the company's TV ads. The company has made an effort to remove this, but it can still be seen on third party seller packaging (Walmart, Target, etc.)
- Photos of MyPillow on some boxes show the premium, gusseted pillow, when the box actually holds their standard pillow. The company has made an effort to correct this, but it can still be seen on some third party seller packaging.
- Claims of offering a "full warranty" when the warranty was not full (customers need to pay a fee to return the pillow).
- A pattern of complaints filed against MyPillow has been identified by BBB regarding customers' understanding of the buy one/get one free offer. A substantial number of the 232 complaints filed against the company regard confusion on the offer.
"We are hopeful that MyPillow will modify their advertising and eliminate discount offers, since the pillows need to be sold at a "regular price" for the majority of the time," Badgerow said.
This is just the latest bump in the road for MyPillow. In November Lindell agreed to pay a penalty of $1 million after a group of California County Attorneys took legal action against the company, alleging deceptive advertising. A consumer watchdog organization said MyPillow's website made unsubstantiated claims its products can cure snoring, migraines, fibromyalgia, and other health maladies.
Lindell agreed to the settlement, but insisted he made no medical claims whatsoever, saying MyPillow simply posted customer comments on the website. He told NBC News he is settling the charges simply because it makes financial sense, and is not an admission of guilt.

Travel can reveal changes in a parent's health
Lisa Wurth
April 28, 2011
It can sometimes be difficult to gauge what kind of health changes are occurring in an older parent's life, particularly if families live an airplane flight away. However, when it comes time for a vacation, observing a senior's movements and limitations can be made much easier.
If it does seem like seniors need more care, it may be a wise idea to invest in a medical alert system. This device can be installed in an older adult's home and enables users to immediately send a personal emergency response message to a call center.
Thomas Huang used a shared family vacation with his parents – both in their late 70s – to really discover how much age was now affecting them, according to McClatchy-Tribune News Service. When Huang finally went on a trip with the elderly couple, it was only then that he had realized how much had changed.
"Parents, especially if both are still alive, tend to cover for each other," Dr. Stanley Ingman told the news source. "But when you spend time with them [on a trip], you'll see things you haven't before."
It's also important to keep in mind that parents may not want to travel at the same speed, and may have different goals when visiting an exotic destination.

If you haven't checked it out, you should! Just click HERE. After I stamped my main image on Flourishes Classic White with Tuxedo Black Memento, I colored with some of the soon-to-be released Copic Collections from Flourishes! I used Clematis and New Fields. And then, after I was finished, I did use the lighter shades from the....
to shade around my flowers. And, then, the centers of my violas were done with the....
From there, add a matching ribbon, a pearl brad and some lovely lace and you're almost there! The sentiment stamped on a strip is also from this set! The orange paper is from BasicGrey's Indie Bloom and the purple is a strip from my scrap bin.

AGO Bistro Ratings and Reviews
The food was excellent and the service top-notch. I had the grilled chicken salad with a Thai dressing. The toasted pecans added a nice crunch. It was delicious!
My friend had the PEI mussels which were cooked in pale beer and had a few grape tomatoes . Unusual but tasty. Looking forward to our next visit to the Gallery and lunch at the Bistro.
I used to love Frank but my meal was average. Steamed mussels were tasty but the fries arrived cold. The portions for the price were also small for both my meal and my friend's, who ordered pasta. In addition to a juice, coffee, sorbet and a donut, the bill came with tip to just under $80 which was an absolute rip off.
Have been coming here since 2008 when it opened.
First time the food was below the standard you set with Frank. Menu was unimaginative.
How about a great salad with high quality fresh organic ingredients?
I had 3 charred spears of romaine for $14. Low value and taste appeal.
we arrived at the hostess desk at 130 pm. The restaurant was 1/2 empty
We were told by the woman working there that the restaurant was fully booked and no openings. We said we would only be 30 minutes and she said no. It was hard to believe that every single seat would be used in the next 30 minutes.
We then proceeded to book a seat on open table and walked back to the desk and told her we had just reserved on open table and she seated 2 of us at a table for 4....
It was so ridiculous. She should be fired. She has zero customer service ability!!!!! My friend and I were so angry at the treatment. Not a good way to treat customers if you are trying to run this as a business!
Absolutely LOVE the AGO Bistro (formerly Frank). The staff are knowledge and the service is excellent. The themed menus that tie into the exhibits at the gallery are a delight. The food is delicious and they offer wonderful wines by the glass. A must even if you are not going to the AGO!
I was with business colleagues and we had just 45 mins. I had made a reservation and we were seated right away. Our server, Laine was amazing. She was thoughtful, insightful and got us out on time. The food was delish- burgers all around.
Would be back in a second.
First visit since Frank's became AGO Bistro and we were disappointed. Prices were high and choices limited. The squash soup was excellent (but not quite hot enough) and the pots of tea were brought out lukewarm and had to be returned.
Burgers were good as was the chicken salad but $78 for this kind of meal (no alcohol and no dessert) was too steep. We noted but did not order that it was $7 for bread.
It would have been nice to be able to choose from a few smaller plates for a light lunch.
My daughter and I both enjoyed our choices.
The service was excellent with an attentive but not invasive server who was knowledgeable about the offerings and honest about the quality.
We had a wonderfully quiet brunch and would return in a heartbeat.
Of course, we then went into the AGO shop to look around for unique gifts....two for one.
Our brunch experience at the AGO Bistro was PHENOMENAL!! I was blown away by the kind & knowledgable service. Every dish recommended by our server was impeccable - the quality, presentation & taste was so, so good. We can't wait to go back again! Thank you, AGO Bistro! :-D
I wish the AGO had not rebranded Frank. It used to be a destination in itself. We would go for a meal even if we weren't visiting the gallery. The new menu is so very average now, even if well prepared and presented. Even if we're at the gallery we'll seek another dining option next time.
The hostess was professional and pleasant and was able to seat my party of 3 quickly. The server was very knowledgeable and informative. She was able to suggest wine pairings for the food and was able to answer my questions about the menu.
There is an open kitchen in the back and you can see that everything is clean. The food presentation was on point, and the food was very tasty.
We had the Fresh Pappardelle, Moules-Frites, and Burger. The burger was cooked medium and was served with fresh thin fries. It was able to please all palates from young to old.
The Fresh Pappardelle took a sweeter note with the use of fresh tomatoes.
I'm a sucker for seafood so I had to try the mussels. The mussel broth was delicious and it was paired with a mini garlic baguette. The fresh thin fries paired really well with the mussels.
If you are looking for seasonal fresh food I would head here.
I was hoping there would be a South East Asian influence in one of their mains. I think that South East Asian food made with fresh ingredients would be a great addition to the menu.

The cross-cultural missions minor is geared toward students who want to work as change agents in global and urban settings. Beyond courses in anthropology and sociocultural studies, you'll study theology, religious studies, economics, and history.
Why should I study cross-cultural missions?
Cross-cultural missions is often done by professionals whose primary assignment or role is in other fields, such as law, business, or medicine. This minor prepares students to be transformative witnesses for Christ in any setting or field.
The minor exposes students to the world of missions both in classroom and field settings. You'll take courses that provide a theological, social, and cultural understanding of the contemporary world of cross-cultural missions under the guidance of faculty with years of experience in missions and ministry. The minor takes a holistic approach to missions, teaching students everything from evangelism to community development to advocacy.
What can I do with this degree?Students who pair this minor with a major in a different field can use it to prepare for their careers or short-term missions opportunities. The minor also gives students a better understanding of different societies and cultures so that they are prepared to make positive contributions as world citizens.
What skills will I develop?
- Research methods
- Community collaboration
- Social and cultural analysis
- Written communication
- Oral communication
What unique experiences or opportunities will I have?This minor requires a practicum during which students live and work in a cross-cultural setting. This is often done through a study abroad experience, and students have also found summer opportunities that provide valuable exposure to missions work. For example, one student worked in a hospital in Malawi for a summer, which led her to continue on to study pre-med at Bethel and then go to medical school.

After Pressure from IAVA, VA Responds to Help Student Veterans
Apply for Emergency Checks Online, Transportation to Local VA Starting Oct. 2nd
New York – Today, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (IAVA), the nation's first and largest non-partisan, nonprofit organization representing veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, issued the following statement in response to the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) announcement it will expand outreach to student veterans eligible for up to $3,000 in special emergency payments of their GI Bill education benefits. Starting Oct. 2nd, student veterans can apply online at www.va.gov for emergency payments or request free transportation to the nearest VA benefits office to submit their claim.
"After hearing from thousands of our members about late checks and pressuring the VA to act, IAVA is pleased to see a quick response. We commend the Secretary for introducing another step to increase outreach to students who applied for GI Bill benefits but have not yet received their payments.
With today's announcement, student veterans across the country will have easier access to these interim payments. At this critical time, the VA is recognizing the urgency for our student veterans.
This isn't a permanent solution, but it should help student veterans focus on classes, instead of on how they will pay their bills. We appreciate the VA's responsiveness and look forward to hearing a more comprehensive solution for dealing with the systemic problems leading to these delays. IAVA will continue to monitor this situation and keep our members and the media updated."
To follow the latest GI Bill developments, visit IAVA's premiere online resource for calculating GI Bill benefits at www.NewGIBill.org.
To arrange an interview with Chief Legislative Counsel Patrick Campbell, Executive Director Paul Rieckhoff or a member veteran going to school on the new GI Bill, contact Chrissy Stevens, 212-982-9699, firstname.lastname@example.com
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America (www.IAVA.org) is the country's first and largest nonprofit, nonpartisan organization for veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and has more than 150,000 veteran members and civilian supporters nationwide. Its mission is to improve the lives of this country's newest generation of veterans and their families.

The heart of the Vaucluse holds the secret to its name: an enormous, powerful river that starts from a sinkhole beneath high limestone cliffs in a blind, closed valley.

Two of the babies have their eyes open. One of the white babies is definitely and albino. Its' eyes are very pink. Fat boy has dark eyes like mom and dad. The last one is white and still has its' eyes closed tight.
Now, I wonder, dad is black and white and mom is brown and white. Hum, albino twins? Do rabbits have milk men?
Does anyone else think the media is overreacting to the tomato situation? Apparently, cherry, grape, vine attached varieties are supposed to be okay. Take is seriously, but don't scare people into not eating healthy fruits and vegetables. I am seeing a fantastic trend around here. Several home gardeners are selling their extra produce. These roadside stands consist of nothing more than a card table and an honor cash box. I bought beautiful yellow squash and tomatoes yesterday. I will keep buying like this until my own garden begins producing enough for our family. Maybe I will have some to sell. This is doubtful, as we love our veggies. I also buy our eggs from fellow master gardeners who keep chickens. As I might have whined about before, Manly Man will not let me have even one chicken. Sigh.

I had to visit a big box store to purchase a replacement water pump for my little half whiskey barrel water garden. At the entrance to the garden center were two shopping carts loaded down with dozens of flats of dead lantana. The flats had not been watered. How long to you have to neglect to water lantana before it dies and dries out? I just don't understand.

Interesting, isn't it? Yeah, the name isn't final. It's actually a codename. Anyways, the game is going to be about space, loneliness, and rock people. What a neat description. Also, Joe came back to do the soundtrack. He was working with us on Cleanse and Elastic, so that's a bad sign. But who cares, right? Here's a couple more screenshots, and then the end of the post.

Myrna Boyle has been working at Godfrey's Luggage & Leather Repairs & Sales for 50 years. She can fix about 15 bags (and wallets, brief cases, golf bags) a day and, to the delight of her customers, doesn't plan on stopping any time soon.
I brought a broken suitcase with me to our meeting, as I have done many times before, and got a ticket instructing me to pick it up in a week's time. "Unless there is a rush?" she checked, "Any travel plans?" Mrs. Boyle's work is very reasonably priced, for her to fix the zipper on this bag it will run me about $16. Other repairs are more extensive, of course, but luggage that would otherwise be thrown out can be made good as new in Mrs. Boyle's capable hands. "Some take a long time, you have to do it right." The odd item is too far gone, she says, and she doesn't hesitate let people know if it is. "For other things I'll say 'no, I don't think you should spend the money on that.'"
Mrs. Boyle also has a contract with West Jet and helps them repair items damaged in transit, as bags often drop into the luggage carousal in a different state than when their owner last saw them at the airport baggage drop-off. The also repairs luggage for other airlines as well.
Richard Godfrey started the business in the mid '40s and Mrs. Boyle started working as his assistant 20 years later in the mid '60s. When Mr. Godfrey died suddenly in 1976 Mrs. Boyle took over. "Mr. Godfrey also used to make leather badges for the police and fire departments. He hadn't taught me how to do it, but when he died I took over and had to learn quickly so I could support his family."
Police badges aside, the business hasn't changed much in the last 70 years. They moved from central downtown to their current location in 1988 and recently bumped their opening hour from 8:30 to 9:30am – "I thought I might like to sleep in" – other than that is has been business as usual.
An assistant comes in for two hours a week to help tidy up and manage merchandise, but Mrs. Boyle manages the shop and does all the work herself. "I just love her, she's excellent," she said of her assistant.
Mrs. Boyle has dedicated clients who have been coming to her for years. "I have such lovely older clients. They bring me cookies and say 'I hope you never close.' I'm as old as they are!"
Thinking back to the time I lost track of the engagement ring I was hiding from my soon to be wife in our luggage, I asked Mrs. Boyle if she has every found anything interesting in the bags people bring in to be fixed. Without missing a beat she laughed and described the rather intimate toy she once found in a bag brought in by a rather "demure" lady. "Oh, I didn't say anything. I just discretely put it in one of the pockets," she explained with a chuckle.
Mrs. Boyl doesn't have a website, or computer for that matter, but the landline in her shop works just fine and she's happy to accommodate clients who drop by with repair jobs. She has some luggage (new and consignment) for sale in store, and said she used to sell other Canadian leather goods but stopped when her supplier went out of business. "If I can't get the good Canadian ones I don't want any at all." I know there are a lot of talented people in Victoria who make leather goods so I asked if she would be willing to restock if a local designer wanted to display some items. "I would be most interested!" she said.
"It breaks my heart to see those little businesses close," Mrs. Boyle said as we chatted about all the local businesses we have seen come and go in Victoria. Godfrey's Luggage & Leather Repairs & Sales speaks to a historic value of repairing, reusing, and caring for ones belongings. Though society's buying habits have become increasingly disposable, Godfrey's endurance when many other small businesses have closed over the last 70 years shows that value has not been lost.
Godfrey's is open Tuesday to Saturday from 9:30am to 5:00pm. If you have any purses, wallets, luggage, or golf bags that need repairing give Mrs. Boyle a call at 250-388-5262 or pop in to see her at 2508 Douglas Street, Victoria, V8T 4M1.
At times, discussing the challenges facing our environment – especially as it pertains to expansive issues like water pollution – can be overwhelming and discouraging. While these worries are not misplaced, it's important to talk about solutions and appreciate improvements too. Yes, there are a lot of obstacles ahead of us, but there are also a lot of amazing people in BC working to improve the way we interact with the environment. Clean tech, in particular, is an incredibly inspiring sector.
In March, before the spring legislative sitting got too busy, I had the distinct honor of visiting a clean tech company that is transforming the way industrial companies treat their wastewater; Axine Water Technologies Inc., based on UBC's Vancouver campus. Jonathan Rhone, Axine's Chief Executive Officer, and Jessica Verhagen, the Business Development Executive, walked me through the basics of their electrochemical technology and took me on a tour of their facility. It was a morning that left me marveling at human ingenuity and excited about the potential for progress in reducing the environmental impact of a wide range of industries.
Axine has developed an innovative, low cost, chemical-free way for large companies to clean industrial wastewater by removing high concentrations of complex, toxic organics and ammonia. Their system has simultaneously solved a multi-billion dollar headache for companies, and a staggering environmental problem.
Over 10 billion pounds of toxic chemical wastewater are produced annually from chemical, pharmaceutical, petroleum product, and electronic manufacturers in the US. As Jonathan told me in our meeting, that wastewater is becoming more complex, hazardous, difficult, and expensive to treat, posing a growing threat to communities and industry.
"Billions of gallons are so toxic that the only solution is to truck it off-site to be incinerated or pumped into a deep injection well," he continued. Jessica added that these wastewaters are subject to increasingly stringent regulations, putting pressure on industry to find the lowest cost solutions.
In a system that requires far less electricity than other electrochemical processes, Axine uses electrolytic cells to create free radicals that react with organic compounds, breaking them down into water, nitrogen, a small amount of carbon dioxide and a high-quality stream of hydrogen. Cells are combined in a modular system that is scalable, versatile, and easily adjusted to accommodate different volumes. It requires no chemicals, produces no sludge and can be used to process a wide range of industrial effluent. Once treated, cleaned water can be reused on site, greatly reducing overall industrial water use.
Their system can be integrated into existing treatment plants to target specific pain points without disrupting operations, Jonathan explained. "Our service model enables customers to access the technology with minimal capital investment and technology risk. We eliminate off-site trucking and disposal, reduce production bottlenecks, increase water reuse and ensure compliance with discharge standards."
To see their design in action Goran Sparica, their Senior Vice President of Engineering and Operations, took me on a tour of their lab. Amongst the engineers in lab coats were a series of sealed off compartments with glass windows. Some seemed to have wastewater mid-treatment, with murky water on one side and clear water on the other.
"Very toxic," Goran mentioned as we passed a fridge filled with hazardous waste. Stopping at their field pilot prototype Goran explained how waste-water can be treated in 24 hours, noting that there is nothing like this in the world, "we're the first to do it."
Though there is huge interest in their technology from China and India, they are going to finish testing in North America before they further explore that market.
To help the sector compete globally, however, the clean tech sector in B.C. and Canada will need industry-specific leadership from provincial and federal governments. Axine was among the nearly 200 clean technology companies from across Canada that wrote to the federal government last month, asking for focused budgetary support.
The clean tech industry in Canada is composed of more than 800 firms that are environmentally safe, diverse, and employ more than 50,000 people. By 2022 it is expected to be a $50 billion dollar industry. It is Canada's fastest growing sector.
Back on a smaller scale, Jonathan spoke fondly of the company they are developing. "We have incredible employees. Lots of young people who are so passionate about what they're doing. We're having a ton of fun, solving environmental problems on the ground floor and building a more sustainable economy."
Dr. Olivia Dam cheerfully handed my colleagues and me hairnets and booties before leading us into the operating area. In the middle of the first room sat a very large laser. We were in a building not far from my constituency office, taking a tour of Victoria Eye and learning more about the services they offer our community.
The impressive piece of machinery in front of us was a Femtosecond refractive laser, Dr. Dam told us, which she uses to perform cataract surgeries. It is the latest technological advancement in the field, allowing her to make a precise 4.9 millimeter capsulotomy incision into the eye and softening the cataract in less than a minute. Dr. Dam assured the more squeamish members of my team (i.e. me) that she uses local anesthesia and a suction-based docking station to keep the eye still and pain free throughout the procedure. "If there is anything that can make the surgery better for the patient, we use it," Dr. Dam said. "We keep up to date with the very latest technological advancements."
Victoria Eye was the first facility in Western Canada to receive a consignment of the most progressive extended range lenses available and is the only eye center on Vancouver Island with a Femtosecond refractive laser for refractive cataract surgery. Because these advancements are not classified as medically required to complete cataract surgery, however, they are not insured.
From the surgery center we head past the entirely sterile "clean room" and into the recovery room where a row of curtain separated beds (all empty that day) line the wall. Dr. Dam brings out a silver tray to show us the instruments used during eye surgeries.
Watching Dr. Dam's steady hand demonstrate how she uses each tiny instrument was fascinating. Because their facility is not located in a hospital, each of the five doctors who work at Victoria Eye are trained in advanced life support. Thankfully those skills are rarely if ever needed, but if anything were to come up every patient is in very good hands.
Dr. Dam is a comprehensive ophthalmologist specialized in managing medical and surgical ocular problems. She did her medical degree and ophthalmology specialization at Queen's University in Ontario before completing five years of surgical residency. She has participated in medical service and ophthalmological trips to South Africa, Mozambique, Malawi, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Columbia, South East Asia, India and Bolivia. She moved to Victoria in 2005 and has been caring for patients here ever since.
As Vancouver Island's demographic continues to age the demand for eye care is going to greatly increase. The Victoria Eye center was built anticipating this shift and they are prepared to ramp up care to meet the need. They have capacity for eight doctors, maybe more as many split their time with the hospital.
Collaborating with different eye specialists in one center, Dr. Dam explains, allows them to share expertise, consultations, and the cost of cutting edge equipment. Staying current with the latest technological advancements is far from cheap, Dr. Dam said, but they invest in whatever will make procedures more efficient, effective, and pain-free for their patients. Victoria Eye has been a multi-million dollar project that is ongoing as continues to invest in new technologies to optimize patient care.
Some types of extended benefits cover surgeries done at their center, but some people also chose to pay out of pocket for the latest and greatest. The Symfony Extended Range lens can cost a few thousand dollars per eye, but Dr. Dam says many people are willing to invest in the new technology because unlike traditional multifocal lenses it allows you to focus within near, intermediate and distance ranges, it doesn't cause halos or glare, and is especially good for patients with presbyopia.
Whatever patient's condition or ability to pay privately, Dr. Dam and her colleagues aim to provide Victoria with the best possible eye care. They have the capacity to treat urgent issues right away, vision surgeries can be done within a few weeks, and the waitlist for the treatment of less serious chronic conditions is rarely longer than a few months.
At the end of the tour we head back through the main hall and stop to look at the incredible series of paintings hanging along the wall. The artists are students from local schools, Dr. Dam tells us. I have no doubt their work will be admired and appreciated by everyone who walks through that hall, but even more so by patients with renewed vision.
Barry McLean, a fourth generation farmer from a Manitoban town of 300, moved to Victoria eight years ago to care for his mother. He wasn't necessarily planning on staying, but he has since married and started a business, so the rest is history, so to speak. I had heard that Barry was making incredible advancements in his zero emission landscaping and gardening ventures here in Victoria and I was keen to learn more about his innovative business.
He started Clean Air Yard Care in 2010 inspired by his grandparents who practiced advanced organic farming techniques for 75 years. Earlier that year he had been redoing the landscaping in his front yard to include more native and drought resistant plants. After the fourth neighbour stopped by to admire his work, saying "you should go into landscaping!" he decided to give the idea some serious thought.
"Looking at the industry in Victoria," he said, "there are a lot of guys who have just thrown a mower in the back of their truck. But I've never been much of a follower so I looked for an underserved niche." Caring for the environment is a family tradition, Barry told me, building his business based on those values was a given.
What if he created a zero emissions lawn and yard care business, powered by solar energy that made no pollution and no noise? Not wanting to do anything half way, he decided to build a solar trailer that could power all of his equipment. The trailer has four solar panels (the complete unit is worth nearly $30,000) that feed DC power inside into a battery bank which is then converted to AC power. With that, Canada's first zero emission yard care company was born. Even on a cloudy day, Barry told me, his solar trailer can run for weeks. If needed, he can plug it in and bulk charge the battery, but he has only needed to do that twice in the last two years.
Barry has a few residential clients, though appreciates the year round contracts found with strata and commercial contracts. His team has expanded to include more landscapers and a horticulturist, which he said are a huge assets to their company. They can advise clients on plant care and help them incorporate drought resistant or native plants into their garden.
The cumulative environmental impact of yard care in Canada is huge. Barry explained how a gasoline powered lawn mower emits about 106 lbs of greenhouse gases in one season. "They are very inefficient. Running an old lawn mower for an hour, for example, can produce as much air pollution as driving a new car 550 kilometers." In addition, Barry continued, the impact of air, ground, and noise pollution associated with yard care in our communities is immense. He argued that "5 percent of Canada's annual greenhouse gas emissions come from landscaping, not accounting for waste, and the sound of gasoline landscaping equipment can lead to hearing loss and increased anxiety in people nearby."
Despite the serious drawbacks of conventional landscaping techniques (gasoline, oil, noise) people seem to resist altering their behaviour. "People get entrenched in the way they do things. The landscapers, but also the people who hire them don't want to change," Barry told me. "It comes down to the dollar. People will recycle and use organic fertilizer, but they won't invest more… They just keep doing things the old way."
Even when you focus on the dollar, however, Barry's services are comparable to traditional landscapers. He charges $50 per labour hour, usually working out to around $150 to $200 per month in the summer. It's tough being undercut by companies who haven't made a significant upfront investment like he has with his solar trailer and equipment, but the "rampant greenwashing" in the sector is even more disheartening to him, he said. "Some 'green' landscapers drive up to consultations in electric cars and then come back for the job with a truck full of electric equipment that they've charged by plugging into the grid the night before."
Moving the emission-intensive work behind the scenes or one step removed isn't enough when it comes to addressing our personal contributions to climate change. There are other effective options, Barry concluded, but you have to be willing to do things differently.
"The other challenge we face," Barry said, "is that 99% of the purchasing or contract agents give no environmental weight or considerations when evaluating tenders."
"People need to understand the impact that the gas and noise of their machines have on their neighbours and the environment. They need to know there are alternatives."
Clean Air Yard Care has been awarded both a Saanich and CRD Eco-Star Award for "Climate Action" and "Green Energy Leadership." In 2015 Barry was a finalist for the CRD Eco-Star Awards for Eco-Prenuer of the Year.
Strategically scheduling the meeting around lunch time, I was delighted to be back at Maria's Deli – a staple during our campaign in 2013. Leading up to the last provincial election my campaign office was located across the street from this amazing deli on Shelbourne and Feltham and I credit them with keeping my team well fed and happy throughout every long, busy day. A family focused business, Maria's Deli was started in 1977 by Maria Pereria and her husband Floyd. Though they both immigrated to Canada from Sao Miguel Portugal, Maria and Floyd didn't meet until they signed up for the same English class at Vic High.
Their shop has been in the same location for 38 years and though it is now largely run by their daughter Susan Coombs, it hasn't changed much. When I arrived Susan was behind the counter cheerfully helping an older customer. Switching between speaking English and Portuguese she says, "She has been coming here as long as I can remember!" Her parents opened the deli the year after she was born and she spent much of her childhood here helping out and visiting with customers, officially starting to work for them when she was 14.
Now Susan works there with her own daughter, who just finished high school. "The people are the most enjoyable part of working here," they both agree. It shows too, the place is bustling with people greeting one another and chatting as they shop. Two construction workers come in to get lunch, "I've been coming here for 20 years!" one of them tells me even though he looks like he's hardly 30. He helps another customer read the label on a tin of cookies as Susan makes their sandwiches, slicing their choice of meat and cheese from the huge selection in front of them. Amazingly, their lunch costs less than $5.00. There are fridges stacked with 10 kilo rounds of cheese and an incredible variety of olive oil, vinegar, pasta, and meat. A baker from Esquimalt walks in carrying a tray of Portuguese buns on her shoulder, she delivers buns to Maria's Deli nearly every day, she says. Today she is dropping off 20 dozen.
Susan and her daughter joke and laugh as they work and another customer proudly tells me they've been coming here for years. "Oh and her mother in law too!" Susan says, "We go way back."
Maria's Deli is a wonderful mainstay in this community, feeding generations of families – and campaign teams lucky enough to work nearby.

Eminem. Drake and Lil' Wayne are bad. Tupac, Eminem, Biggie, Hopsin. These are good ones. There are a lot of bad rappers out there ane thats what people think of when they hear the word rap. They need to realize that there are rappers with meaning in their lyrics. Not just drugs and money
This is subjective, but any form of music can be both good and bad. Someone could argue that not all aspects of rap are good for society, like the way that women are commonly demeaned, but not every rap song treats women badly and there are many good songs out there.
I feel rap music is for people who can't carry a song in a bucket, they now use famous singers to stay employed by rapping with them, I feel it leads young teens to rebel against society and needs no real talent to perform, good music is better than Rap

OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canada's composite leading indicator was unchanged in July as the sharpest drop in the housing index since June 2002 offset gains in most other components, Statistics Canada said on Wednesday.
Analysts in a Reuters poll had forecast a 0.1 percent rise in the index after a flat reading in June.
The housing index tumbled 2.9 percent largely because of fewer housing starts in July. The only other indicator to decline was the average work week in the manufacturing sector, which fell 0.5 percent.
Consumer spending continued to grow despite slowing auto sales, Statscan said, and new orders for manufacturers rebounded on demand from the aerospace sector.

The 38-year-old bodybuilder Dennis would really like to find true love. He has never had a girlfriend and lives alone with his mother in a suburb of Copenhagen. When his uncle marries a girl from Thailand, Dennis decides to try his own luck on a trip to Pattaya, as it seems that love is easier to find in Thailand. He knows that his mother would never accept another woman in his life, so he lies and tells her that he is going to Germany. Dennis has never been out traveling before and the hectic Pattaya is a huge cultural shock for him. The intrusive Thai girls give big bruises to Dennis' naive picture of what love should be like, and he is about to lose hope when he unexpectedly meets the Thai woman Toi.

Welcome to my Republican campaign for U.S. Senate here in Pennsylvania. If you are looking for a conventional GOP candidate, you are in the wrong place.
I am an imaginative conservative, upset by the GOP's inability to innovate and set a responsible course. As a citizen and a patriot, I want our government to work better and harder for all of us, for my kids and yours. As a candidate, I will ask difficult questions and develop thoughtful and workable solutions.
Over the recent past the GOP has become a party of non-strategic thinkers. It is clear that to revitalize itself, the Republican Party must begin to seek candidates of character and broad experience, who have exhibited records of service and competence.
Paul Addis
Republican for Senate
I spent my 30+ year professional career invigorating and changing old businesses to create better ones -- and that is the mindset I will take to the Senate. Let's rethink the role of the federal government. I do not believe we should simply slash federal spending. Some responsibilities can only be managed by the federal government. Some programs may need to expand. But equally important, let's end what isn't working. We must be thoughtful and flexible, but, like all families, we must be responsible with every dollar we spend.
A thoughtful review of America's history confirms that all successful government action must be consistent with our traditions of freedom, the rule of law, upward mobility, the appropriate use of government, and a belief that America is a melting pot as opposed to a conglomerate of special interests.
I did not vote for President Trump; nor did I vote for Secretary Clinton. Here in Pennsylvania several Republican congressmen did the same. President Trump ran an undignified and divisive campaign. His inconsistent and undisciplined approach to governing is detrimental to our country and has imperiled the GOP's efforts to enact meaningful reforms that are sorely needed after eight years of President Obama. Congress and the country are now bogged down with numerous investigations and a special counsel.
The Republican Party has hitched its wagon to an unsteady and unprepared man, and we are suffering the consequences. Pennsylvania's 2018 GOP senatorial candidate must place the country's and Pennsylvania's needs first. A Senate candidate tied at the hip to Mr. Trump can't win Pennsylvania in 2018. The Republican Party must relearn how to economize, think boldly about the role of government, and evaluate what works and what does not.
Our current Democratic senator, Bob Casey, all too often plays small ball, a wasted opportunity for Pennsylvania and the country. During the past 8 years, Senator Casey was an unquestioning supporter of President Obama. Senator Casey has held statewide office for 20 straight years, and it's time for a change. It's time to replace him with an imaginative, conservative Republican.
I am an innovator interested in creating workable and affordable public policy solutions. Please take a moment to learn more about me and my Republican campaign for Senate in Pennsylvania. I would appreciate your help and advice.
The GOP has lost its way

To beat Bob Casey

In honer of the 2008 2009 2010 Scripps National Spelling Bee witch is going on wright now [June 2-4] in Washington DC, I give you two heelarious videose.
How did this simple contest that began in 1925 turn out to be a global phenomenon? Just check out the TV coverage on the event including live prime time coverage on ABC and ESPN.
Truthe be told, I'm a goode speler myselfe. I plazed therd place in the San Francysco Pubic Skool Speling Bee when I was in seventhe greade.
Two gerls beet me. Who gave these gerls azzess to edukation. I thoght the Bible said they should be quite and sumbit, stay home, make babyies, and make my diner.
And in case you're curious what word tripped me, it was this damn word. I was too scared to spell it correctly. I spelled it: THANATHOPHOBIA. I will never ever forget that word. And I'm still scared of death.
Thanatophobia –
the fear of death or dead things (e.g., corpses) as well as things associated with death (e.g., coffins). Necrophobia is derived from Greek nekros for "corpse" and -phob- for "fear". Thanatophobia is derived from Thanatos (θάνατος: "death"), the personification of death. The usage differs, although in common speech the terms are used interchangeably. Thanatophobia is more specifically, but not limited to the fear of one's own death or dying. It is a subconscious production in the defense mechanism of the mind, which makes you avoid certain circumstances in life. Some symptoms are shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, sweating, dry mouth, shaking, feeling sick or queasy, psychological instability, and a feeling of dread.
Alright, spell [damn, I'm good] your beans. If you were in the spelling bee, what word did you get outed on? We'll give some sort of prize for the biggest loser. Or if you won your contest, what was the winning word?
And in case you're wondering: Of the 83 previous champions, the score is 43 girls and 40 boys. Anyway, here are the two videos. The first is my all-time favorite. The guys faints. No one helps him. He gets up and spells the word correctly and goes back to his seat. Clutch!
And here's a plug for a GREAT movie: Akeelah and the Bee. One of our family favorites. Great movie. Inspiring.
AKEELAH AND THE BEE is the story of Akeelah Anderson, a precocious eleven-year-old girl from south Los Angeles with a gift for words. Despite the objections of her mother, She enters various spelling contests- tutored by Dr. Larabee; her principal and proud neighborhood residents. Her aptitude earns her an opportunity to compete for a spot in the Scripps National Spelling Bee.

Vodafone has trialled a 3G HSPA+ mobile broadband connection that delivers maximumdownload speeds in excess of 20 Mbps in a test environment.
Vodafone reached the 3G data connection during field trials of the HSPA+ Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) technology on Vodafone Spain's network in southern Spain and Madrid city centre. The trials were carried out using technology supplied by Ericsson, Huawei and Qualcomm Inc.
Vodafone networks director Andy MacLeod said: 'Breaking the 20Mbps peak speed barrier in tests through HSPA+ MIMO is yet another key milestone in the evolution of 3G Mobile Broadband technology, and raises the prospect of higher network performance for our customers in selected hotspots.'
'These test results mean that we will be able to derive even more value from our existing 3G infrastructure while raising the quality of service for our customers.'
Earlier this year Vodafone trialled HSPA+ 64QAM technology which delivered peak speeds of 16 Mbps in a test environment. In its latest trial, Vodafone has further boosted network performance through the MIMO technology.
MIMO technology effectively uses two antennas in both the handset and the base station to split the radio signal into two separate streams, enhancing network capacity as well as the user experience even in dense urban environments.
Both 64QAM and MIMO features require new HSPA+ mobile broadband devices. Vodafone is working with its device vendors on the trialling, testing and validation of these devices ready for commercial availability.
The operator is now looking at advancing the HSPA+ roadmap further through investigating Dual Carrier-HSPA, which uses the aggregation of two adjacent radio channels.
