Cameron Highlands
Cameron Highlands is mostly known for it's tea plantations and strawberries. If you like to go on walks, this is a perfect place to go to. Normally we don't mind long days of walking, but this time we made it easy for ourselves.
We took a bus from Pudu Central in Kuala Lumpur and arrived in Cameron Highlands about 4 hours later (35 Ringgit p.p.) The roads are good and the trip is nice. The last part is a bit curvy so of people with motion sickness it can be helpful to take something against that. The bus stopped in 'the centre' of Tanah Rata; a small village that mainly consists out of hotels, guesthouses and little restaurants. It was a short 5 minute walk to our guesthouse.
Note: the busses to Cameron Highlands no longer leave from Pudu Central. They changed it to TBS.
During our visit, it was really quiet in Tanah Rata and a lot of restaurants were closed. Going out for diner in a nice restaurants was not possible, but we did have a 'frikandel speciaal' (typical Dutch food) at Café Jasmine in the mainstreet. Even though we just left home, we still wanted to try. Not as good as back home, but it sure was tasteful!
We heard good stories about the Orchid Logde where the owner likes to cook for his guests. This sounded good to us so we decided to book a room here. Unfortunately the owner wasn't there and there were 2 volunteers taking care of the place. To bad for us. But the room was fine and we could use the kitchen to prepare our own food.
We booked a half day tour to Brinchang. This tour included a visit to the butterfly garden (not very spectaculair because all the butterflies were hanging on the roof because the sun didn't shine) en a visit to the highest point of the Gunung Brinchang (2031 meters high) where you can climb a rusty tower to enjoy the great view overlooking the Cameron Highlands. We also went for a short hike in the Mossy Forest and on our way back there was a stop at the tea plantations. Really nice to see, all this green! The last stop was a visit to a tea factory. Not really our cup of tea. But we did enjoy our tour!

Microsoft ERP upgrades, anyone?
Microsoft ERP software upgrades were, needless to say, a focus of this week's Microsoft Convergence conference, where some 7,000 customers and partners converged on New Orleans for Redmond's annual confab. Two of the four flavors of Microsoft's ERP software – Dynamics AX, from the Microsoft Axapta acquisition, and Dynamics NAV, from the Navision acquisition – had significant upgrades released last year, as did Microsoft's CRM product, which is also under the Dynamics label.
Of course, knowing that many IT capital budgets are history this year, I was curious as to how those upgrades are going. The Microsoft executive I had access to, Craig Dewar, responded that upgrades are included free in Microsoft's software maintenance packages, so cost is restricted to services for the upgrade. (We didn't discuss those maintenance packages, which are a whole other ball of wax.) He assured me that the company was "seeing a huge amount of interest in ERP now," especially because the best time to upgrade core systems is when business is slower.
I don't dispute that logic – many cyclical industries already have a discrete window of downtime each year in which to perform significant systems work, and it's a reasonable assumption that is there some business "downtime" out there now. But I have a hard time believing that given how strapped I'm hearing many IT shops are, they're adding ERP upgrades to their to-do lists.
So hear ye, Dynamics AX and NAV users: Are you upgrading to these latest versions, and if so, when? Is there functionality you found worth the time and expense to go after now, or is your upgrading a function of Microsoft's release philosophy and the fact that you have the time do it now?

Millenials Don't Brush Their Teeth Enough!
Mom and Dad always told you to brush your teeth twice a day, minimum.
PSA's from the 80's told us to brush after every meal.
But millenials don't quite manage either of those.
30% of millenials brush their teeth just once a day!
That's pretty gross. And I can tell you as your age, it gets harder to keep your teeth and gums healthy. So brush at least twice a day. Keep a travel kit with you in case of poppy seed disasters. And go to the dentists 2x a year! But you gotta brush... And exercise those choppers!

Consultancy group WSP says the UK is neglecting the long-term cost reduction and air quality potential of heat pump use in city planning
Replacing gas boilers with heat pumps in commercial buildings could have significant longer-term economic and environmental benefits for UK cities, argues professional services consultancy WSP.
New findings from the group estimate that in switching to the use of heat pumps in commercial buildings, heating costs could be curbed by 25 per cent. However, these potential benefits would require overcoming broader British reticence to adopting the technology in municipal strategies, as well as new approaches to construction planning.
Andrew Marsh-Patrick, who authored the report, said that heat pumps were presently neglected in city planning approaches in the UK, despite international examples of their use.
"A number of leading organisations have used air and ground source heat pumps successfully in new build properties and for retrofits," he said.
These examples of international heat pump use include a commercial and residential development project in Seattle that won an award from the American Society of Heating Refrigeration and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) in 2015 for energy efficiency.
WSP notes that heat pump technology, which can provide both heating and cooling functions in the same system, is more expensive to initially buy. However, the findings note that heat pumps were found to have lowest whole-life cost beyond the start-up investment required.
The report's conclusions were based around energy modelling of 600 buildings in Europe, Asia and North America that included offices, commercial properties, warehouses and airports.
WSP said data from its research created a compelling case to switch to heat pumps, which are estimated to be a cheaper heating solution than gas boilers in the long-term.
"Fuel is by far the most significant part of the whole-life cost of installing and running a heating system. WSP's research shows that, on a whole-life basis and even with no government incentives to support low-carbon heat uptake, heat pumps are around 25 per cent cheaper to install and operate than conventional building heating and cooling systems," said the report.
The report also played up potential benefits for city-wide initiatives to improve air quality by cutting nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions resulting from combustion.
"Heat pumps are also highly energy efficient and can reduce CO2 emissions by up to 70 per cent compared to gas boilers (using average European grid emission factors)," said Mr Marsh-Patrick.
"This will become even more important as climate change increases cooling demand. Using more efficient, low carbon ways to heat and cool buildings becomes essential if cities are to meet their own greenhouse gas reduction targets. Heat pumps are therefore an attractive proposition and are the default options in many countries and are gaining wider uptake."
Report recommendations
In order to improve up take of heat pumps to help create cities with fully electric heating and transport systems by 2030, WSP recommends making the technology a core component of future air quality and decarbonisation plans.
A new approach to ensuring building regulations and city planning guidance that directs use of heat pumps for new commercial buildings and identifying where gas heating can be replaced is also backed in the report.
"This overcomes the challenge of heat pumps being more expensive to install, despite the big savings realised during operation and also the inevitable inertia of installing new technologies over more established programmes," said WSP.
The report also calls for a new programme that can provide designers and contractors with the required skills to install and maintain heat pump technology, while also ensuring that cities have sufficient energy capacity to meet demand for all-electric heating.

Having the capacity to precisely handle fermentation temperatures can be the distinction in between a very good tasting beer and a wonderful 1. The controller is outside the tank, producing it less difficult for customers to adjust the temperature without wetting their hand. It is tiny and super flat which tends to make it simple and space-efficient to attach on the side of the aquarium. You turn the knob on the leading of the heater to set the preferred temperature and wait for the water to heat up. For the duration of the summer time months, you might also want an aquarium chiller to keep conditions comfortable for your gilled guys and gals. This heater comes in an impressive range of sizes: 50, 75, one hundred, 150, 200, 250, 300 and 400 watt.
Simply because of the higher level of fluctuation on the few days, the heater is set up, getting your fish in the tank before adjusting the temperature might irritate the fish greatly. The D2HT Aquarium Heater makes use of the most recent digital technology for internal temperature handle to keep aquarium temperatures steady. Right after determining the temperature range, think of what you want and what your aquarium demands. The Hydor mini heater is a submersible aquarium heater for micro tanks and mini aquariums 5-10 gallons. And just like with an aquarium heater, utilizing a thermometer guarantees that your tank is as cool as a sea cucumber. The heater includes an adjustable temperature dial that makes it possible for temperature setting to be much more precise. Temperature setting: it is critical to uncover a heater that is correct in temperature setting.
An aquarium heater is one particular of the gadgets that you ought to undoubtedly have to maintain your fish healthy. Sturdy aquarium heater with shatter-resistant construction Fully submersible with precise temperature setting Automatic safety shut-off and overheat protection This submersible heater comes with a 6′ energy provide and adjusts to among 68-88 degrees.
There is a easy and efficient a single touch" manage system that comes with an advanced electronic thermostat. A fish tank heater is especially necessary if you have common tropical species like angelfish, blue danios or neon tetras that like basking in warm water, simply because these species, and numerous other folks like them, normally demand a water temperature above 74° to thrive. This Finnex heater comes in 6 diverse sizes with different Watt levels: 50, one hundred, 150, 200, 300 , and 500 watts.
Make certain no plants or aquarium decorations do not come in direct contact with the heater. In addition to, in spite of the well-advertised VueTech technology, the LCD screen with each other with the thermostat at times malfunction and display incorrect reading of the temperature. The derivative time indicates how much the controller responds to swiftly altering tank temperatures. Use the suction cups supplied by the manufacturer to attach the submersible heater to the desired location. Rather, I purchased a PID (proportional, integral, derivative) controller with a platinum resistance temperature device (fancy thermometer). An electronic thermostat automatically adjusts the heat output to preserve the water at a constant 78°F – all you have to do is put it in the aquarium and plug it in! The Cascade Submersible Heater is an economical option in aquarium heating.

by Leslie Jones
In October 1887 Morris's interlude 'The Tables Turned, or Nupkins Awakened' was produced at the Farringdon Road office of the Socialist League for the benefit of 'The Commonweal'. It was performed there on October 15th. Morris himself acting in it, and was so successful that it was repeated three times. Shaw says he had never been present at such an overwhelmingly successful first night. The scene is 'A Court of Justice', and the case is heard by Mr. Justice Nupkins. Morris himself took the part of the Archbishop of Canterbury, called as a witness for the defence in a police prosecution of a member of the Socialist League on a charge of obstruction and riot. The Archbishop had gone to see for himself what a socialist meeting was really like. But he was disappointed by the 'extreme paucity of the audience' and disgusted by 'the rude and coarse words' of the prisoner, who had complained that it was 'damned hard lines to have to speak to a lamp-post, a kid, and an old buffer', by the latter vulgarity indicating myself as I understand. Philip Henderson in 'William Morris: his life, work and friends' published by Thames and Hudson in 1967 says "Morris drew upon his own experiences of open-air meetings and attendances at police courts." The trial of the comrade is interrupted by the singing of the 'Marseillaise' and the outbreak of the revolution offstage. The play ends at Kelmscott in the world of 'News from Nowhere' a socialist commonwealth and Nupkins, in a world without lawyers, ie condemned to dig potatoes as a temporary penance.

Metallica have revealed that they plan to 'fast-forward to the next chapter' of working with Lady Gaga – sparking rumours of a collaborative album.
This weekend saw them perform a special duet with Gaga at the Grammys – before a stagehand was blamed for frontman James Hetfield's mic being unplugged.
"[She is the] quintessential perfect fifth member of this band. Her voice, her attitude, her outlook on everything is so awesome," drummer Lars Ulrich told Rolling Stone. "[The performance] was so effortless and organic and she just has the spirit of hard rock and metal flowing through her veins. It comes really easy for her. There's nothing contrived; she just has this super warm, easy energy."
He added: "We already started fast-forwarding to the next chapter when we can do more of this," he says. "It's not one of those '20 lawyers, strategists and managers trying to force two people from two different worlds to figure out how to spend four minutes together on a national telecast.' Of any of these undertakings, this is about as organic and authentic as there's ever been one. We're just getting started."
Fans also shared a video of how the performance should have sounded with a functioning microphone – check it out below.
Meanwhile, Lady Gaga's upcoming UK tour dates are below.
Mon October 09 2017 – LONDON O2 Arena
Sun October 15 2017 – BIRMINGHAM Barclaycard Arena

Penis Girth 2.0: "Go Wide" is the New "Go Deep!"
GirthMax is an all new, clinical strength male enhancement tool uniquely formulated to help increase thickness and build penis girth fast. GirthMax's powerful, new, first-of-it's-kind PENIS GIRTH BUILDING formula consists of a highly specific blend of pharmaceutical grade ingredients that have been expertly proportioned for maximum effectiveness.
This high-performance formula contains the most effective penis girth building ingredients necessary for adding SIZE where it REALLY COUNTS. Not only can GirthMax add increased penis girth, it will likely add some length as well. Along with the size increases, the added blood-flow and capacity will result in harder, more powerful erections.
Stretch Her Limits
It's true that the length of a man's penis isn't a big deal to most women; in fact, the typical vagina is only about 5-6 INCHES DEEP when aroused, while the average erect penis is about six inches long. So… Here's the thing: A thick penis increases the surface area you are capable of stimulating and puts more pressure on the vaginal walls. This increased surface area and pressure significantly amplify the pleasurable feelings of her super sensitive nerve endings. Not only that, but as you stretch the inner and outer labia (lips), the clitoral hood experiences added tension causing tugging and movement against the clitoris itself. Blast off!
Why GirthMax?
- Unique GIRTH BUILDING Formula
- Added Girth Increases Vaginal and Clitoral Excitement
- Builds Confidence IN and OUT of the Bedroom
- Advanced, Clinical Strength Formula
- Natural Testosterone Boosters
Cutting Edge Ingredient List
As mentioned above, GirthMax's pharmaceutical grade ingredients are top notch! We've spared no expense and accepted no substitutes with our formula. Rest assured that you're getting the highest quality ingredients available anywhere on Earth. We do not compromise.
- Horny Goat Weed
- Cordyceps Sinensis
- Cuscuta Seed
- Panax Ginseng
- Saw Palmetto
- Ginkgo Biloba
- Tribulus Terrestris
- L-Argenine
- Piperine
Been using Girthmax for a little over a month and I'm seeing good results already. Thanks!Paul T. - USA

Giving back was an integral part of Eva Longoria's life long before she landed the role of Gabriela Solis on ABC's "Desperate Housewives."
"She's everything; a renaissance woman, champion of multiple causes, she has founded a foundation, she's an entrepreneur," says Cathy Schulman, head of WIF, of Longoria, who will accept the Norma Zarky Humanitarian Award from multi-hyphenate Lake Bell on June 11.
"I grew up with a special-needs sister, an older sister, so I was kind of born into her world and knew what the world 'volunteer' meant at a very, very early age," Longoria says.
Inspired by the needs of her sister, Lisa, Longoria says, "We were always volunteering somewhere," citing the Salvation Army and the Boys and Girls Club as some of the orgs her family supported.
The actress has since created the Eva Longoria Foundation, which aims to empower young Latinas by encouraging them to pursue education and providing career training and mentorship opportunities.
When deciding where to direct her philanthropic efforts, Longoria says: "I immediately said, 'I want to zero in on communities that I care about or that I came from, which happen to be the women's community and the Latino community.'
"Those were the first two communities and areas which I thought, 'This is where I want to focus because this is where I came from and this is who I am.' "
Longoria also addresses the Latino community in Michael Berry's "Frontera."
"It's a love story set against the reality of immigration," Longoria says of the film, in which she speaks only Spanish. "It humanizes the people who come to this country and why and what happens to them."
Going forward, the "Devious Maids" exec producer says she hopes to continue delving into directing and producing. As she puts it, "I want it all."

Pain Clinic Peterborough
Pain Clinic Peterborough - Persistent soreness inside the joints and at several locations along the back might be treated by prolotherapy, which is also referred to as regeneration injection therapy. How this back soreness approach works is through injecting a small amount of non-pharmacological solution to the encompassing tissue which is called the periosteum. This tough tissue responds to the injection by causing the growth of denser tissue. Prolotherapy assists to alleviate the tenderness at the back as the fresh tissue growth fortifies the weakened tendons and ligaments that were accountable for the soreness. This fresh growth also furthers a healthier blood flow to the arms and the legs.

Two overnight house fires remain under investigation this morning. The first fire occurred late Tuesday, April 20, 2010, just before 12:00 am. Firefighters from the Upper Marlboro area were alerted to a house fire in the 10300 block of Duke of Wellington Court and arrived to find a 2-story, vacant, single family home with heavy fire showing from the second floor. Firefighters had initially staged an interior attack to extinguish the fire and conduct primary and secondary searches but were forced to evacuate to the safety of the exterior as conditions became untenable. Shortly after evacuating personnel from the burning home the roof collapsed. There were no injuries reported. It took about an hour to knock down the bulk of the fire. The cause of the fire remains under investigations and no word from Incident Commanders about estimated fire loss.
As firefighters were still dealing with the fire in Upper Marlboro, another house fire was reported in the 8300 block of Rambler Drive in Adelphi. At about 12:40 am, Wednesday, April 21, 2010, firefighters and paramedics were alerted to a house fire and arrived to find a 2-story single family home with heavy fire showing from the rear of the house. The fire had extended to both floors and firefighters were aggressively attacking the fire when they were forced to evacuate the structure due to a collapse on the rear side of the home. All firefighters were accounted for and efforts to contain and extinguish the fire continued. It took about 30 minutes to knock down the bulk of the fire. An adult male resident was transported to a Burn Unit with burns to his upper body as well as three firefighters that sustained minor burns. The resident is in good condition with 1st and 2nd degree burns, his injuries are non-life threatening. The three firefighters from the Hyattsville Fire/EMS Station were treated and released from the Burn Unit earlier today. The cause and origin of this fire is currently under investigation and fire loss is estimated at $250,000.
A family of 3 adults and 3 children will be displaced as a result of this fire. They are being assisted by the Citizen Services Unit and the American Red Cross with temporary relief and shelter.

Migranes: Controlling My Life?
March 16, 2010 2 Comments
Excedrin works not because it's tylenol and asprin, but because it has caffeine. BUT caffeine is also a trigger. In the short term, caffeine constricts blood vessels. However because it's a trigger this for me means that two days later, I get another migraine. So I took three excedrin to make it through Friday. Then I took a benedryl to be able to sleep that night. I knew I was taking a risk and I'd likely get another migraine on Sunday.
My brains felt kindof like these dehydrated apple chips (even after my nap)
When I woke up I had to write a lecture, a lab, and a homework assignment. But my brains were still a little scrambled from the medicine. So it was rough. This got me thinking though. This is the first time since I've gotten headaches that I have been in control and have gotten out of control because of my life. That is, my medicines work well. I haven't had an "urgent care" migraine in months. I'm doing well overall. But I had to give my lecture. I had to write my assignment. I couldn't get out of it. I can't turn my teaching work in late. I can't work from home, aka take a day off and sleep my migraine off anymore. Even on the days I don't teach, I'm frantically keeping up with my research, going to meetings, or the like. So what do I do? I take pills that give me migraines. Because I can't think of any other alternatives.
So that Sunday I ended up calling my parents. They're quite worried about my headaches, rightfully so. And at the end of the conversation my dad said, "Maybe you need to start thinking about different sorts of jobs." Sure I could work in academia, but what is the potential cost. I've been planning this my entire life, but the more I think about it the more it scares me. Well, I guess the right way of wording it is that multiple things scare me. First and foremost, I am scared by the fact that migraines could control me to the point where they could change my career trajectory. I'm still not sure how I feel about that. It kindof feels like if I were to change it would be because of the headaches and then I'd be letting the headaches win and that would be like letting the terrorists win, which would be bad. Second, I wonder if perhaps the healthy and responsible thing to do would be to change career paths. Not drastically, but perhaps think more about industry than academia. or more about less-teaching intensive academia than I was planning.
Until this point I've been planning to apply for jobs at teaching colleges, colleges where the teaching load will likely be 5 or 6 courses (or more?) a year. With that type of course load, I can't imagine trying to a) get through migraines or b) managing the rebounds that are inevitable if a) works. There are some other factors as well, but this is the sort of thing I've been thinking of. It's also interesting, because I don't really think much about my headaches as a hinderance, 99% of the time.
I was talking to a colleague a week ago and he was impressed that I managed to get so much quality work done with headaches pervading through my life. Granted most of them aren't migraines and they are less frequent than in the past, but they are still there. This year I have my headaches under much better control than in the past (believe it or not) but part of the reason for that is topiramate. A side effect of the medicine is tingling, like pins and needles, in my feet. It comes and goes at any time, sitting, walking, whenever, but there is nothing I can do to make it go away. But still, this colleague being impressed surprised me, because I think of myself as normal. I don't want to make adjustments or lower my standards because of my headaches.
So what will I do? I don't know. Hopefully this spell will pass and things will continue to improve like they have been. But I think that my headaches will always be in the back of my mind, even if they aren't pulling the puppet strings.

Focusing on how LIDAR Will work with regard to Stretch of land Mapping Solutions
Fitters, mapping experts, town wedding planners, Geographic Info Process (GIS) experts together with surveyors see LIDAR (Light Recognition together with Ranging) effective together with cost-effective. It's the best and newest process made use of by stretch of land mapping product agencies to provide even more appropriate topographical roadmaps. It is additionally implemented with regard to topographic surveys online and also other linked software programs.
Samples of Software programs with LIDAR Mapping comprise:
• Avalanche associated risk mapping • The property market progress • Seaside zoom mapping • Downtown modeling • Coal and oil seek • Electrical power sections indication and pipeline hallway intending • Many other limited aspects connection
LIDAR roadmaps are set up applying air-mounted lasers that will give 1000s of pulses for each minute, together with regularly strategy height inside 6 inches width. It can be executed as a result of delivering light beam pulses together with recognition with resembled signs together with measure airplane height using exquisitely detailed. Supply is usually directed easy, providing recognition in the plane's height in the earth and each of those aspects. The idea insures a broad stretch of land vicinity with just about every distribute. Regularly, the idea accumulates info across stretch of land measure 1000 toes for a 2000 ankle altitude.
Consequently mapping advancement, 300 rectangle kilometer after kilometer with 12 a long time may be built-up, using innumerable benchmark items. LIDAR mapping exchanged standard info meeting solutions, and it is 100 circumstances sooner in comparison to the standard electronic digital surveyor's transit product, and many other eliminated surveying solutions.
Considering LIDAR equipment may well just get info influenced by height, people can be used with some sort of NAVIGATION (Global The setting of System) accessories to help correlate setting together with height.
The details is usually stashed away with 3 coordinates– back button (longitude), y simply (latitude) together with unces (elevation). In the event the info is usually gained by way of the plane, some sort of online theme is usually highly refined via the stretch of land called DEM (digital height model). That DEM on auto-pilot shows marks and shape relating in place items which happen to have the identical height. Released shape showcase whether or not the surfaces and stretch of land is usually fat-free and comparatively large, variety know-how as soon as intending generate. That place options man-made buildings, links together with streets, together with physical factors enjoy seas, canals, together with hillsides. Nevertheless the following info is usually exhibited with regards to height just, consequently, uncovering the type with each of those man-made together with all natural options must have a genuine surfaces see and aerial picture taking.
LIDAR stretch of land mapping is performed not noticed, together with doesn't need a genuine online site see relating to the package with stretch of land increasingly being scored. It's positive with surveying countries using serious ski slopes and reduced connection. A lot of these may well require magnetic residences and large ski slopes, and with thick natrual enviroment using clustered shrubs, that can impair surveying with good reason.
It's executed to develop roadmaps with terrains implausible with regard to earth surveying. Additionally, it may generate roadmaps with natrual enviroment canopy together with distribute inside groundcover, proving to be the idea well suited for thick reforested land. In addition to the mapping together with surveying stretch of land, deploying it under the sea is in addition probable. It can be useful to monitor coast modifications.
It's functions inside market sectors are generally rising with phone number, which makes essential holdings and liabilities surveying job. It offers manufacturing assignments, mines, freeways, together with avalanche simple frameworks.
That trend with technological know-how supplies simple solutions to help just about every surveying together with stretch of land mapping must have along with the by using LIDAR. The idea would make surveying together with mapping sooner, accordingly, holds charge together with yields a much more appropriate end result very quickly which includes a more expansive setting.

VARNA: Egle Vertelyte's debut film Miracle will screen in the main competition of the 36th Golden Rose National Film Festival (27 September - 4 October 2018). The film is a Lithuanian/Bulgarian/Polish coproduction shot by the eminent Bulgarian DoP Emil Christov.
Vertelyte wrote the script. It is a story about the tragicomic experience of middle aged Irena, who used to lead the "October Revolution" pig farm in the ex-Soviet union for fifteen years. The collapse of communism, her husband's alcoholism and the depressing picture of dying pigs deeply confuses her. A sudden love affair with an American businessman blows up her life and turns her into a believer in God.
"Miracle is a tragicomic drama with strange and a bit exaggerated characters and quite an extraordinary plot. That's why the story also feels satirical or like a farce," Vertelyte said.
The film was produced by Luthuania's InScript in coproduction with Bulgaria's Geopoly and Poland's Orka Postproduction studio. The project budgeted at nearly 780,000 EUR was supported by the Lithuanian Film Center, the Bulgarian National Film Center, the Polish Film Institute, Eurimages and Creative Europe – MEDIA.
The famous Polish actor Daniel Olbrychski plays a Catholic priest in the film. The cast includes Egle Mikulionyte, Andrius Bialobzeskis and US based Vyto Ruginis. The shooting took place in several small Lithuanian settlements during the winter of 2016. The interiors were shot on set in April 2016 in Sofia.
Vertelyte is an alumna of Denmark's European Film College. Her feature length documentary UB Lama, which she filmed in Mongolia in 2009, was selected by more than 20 international film festivals and received six international awards.
France's Wide is handling the sales.

If you didn't know already, I LOVE WEDDINGS!!! Every single detail that goes into a wedding day, is so incredibly special to me. It's not just the details though. Of course, I swoon over your beautiful wedding cakes and those cute little favors you spent hours over, but do you know what really makes my heart beat just a tad quicker? The moments. The moments are everything to me! When your mama wipes away a tear as she ties the sash on your dress or when your daddy sees you for the first time in your wedding dress. When your soon to be husband, has the greatest smile on his face when he sees you walk down the aisle. When you glance at each other during your ceremony & you can't contain your smile. (Okay, that rhymed & I didn't even plan it. Lol!) Those moments are so important to me. When I photograph a wedding, I really try my best to step into my bride's shoes. I want my couples to be able to relive their entire day, just by looking at their photographs.
Every wedding I have photographed has a special place in my heart. I can recall any wedding I have photographed, as if it were yesterday. Many of my past brides, have become some of my most greatest friends. I guess that's what happens when you book me, you gain a friend too (whether you like it or not! lol!) 😉
It's been quite a year 😉
We had our first destination wedding in Cancun, Mexico. From outdoor ceremonies to hotel ballroom receptions. San Antonio to Austin. Peonies & Roses. Barefoot & heels. Champagne & tequila shots.
The weddings that I photographed this year have been absolutely GORGEOUS. I thank God every day for being able to work with the sweetest, most down to earth brides ever.
To my 2015 couples, thank you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to photograph such a special time in your lives. You have no idea how much joy it gives me to go back & look at your photos. It's been an incredible year. I love all of y'all so much! I wish you nothing but a lifetime of love & happiness.
To my amazing husband & wonderful 2nd shooter, thank you. Thank you for being my biggest cheerleader. Thank you for listening to me & loving me. I have truly enjoyed watching your photography grow & evolve. I love you.
Missing from this post are my awesome friends, Xilma & Mario. I photographed their gorgeous wedding in Austin, Texas back in May. They preferred for their photographs to not be posted on social media or the blog, even though I begged & complained 😛 Lol. They did allow for me to put their photos on my website though. You can find their wedding day slideshow here.
Also, I didn't have the privilege of photographing Harolyn & Jeremy's actual wedding day, but when they contacted me for their bride & groom portraits, I was more than excited! I added their beautiful photos in this post as well!
I tried to give myself a limit on how many photos I posted today, and then I was like, yea, that's not gonna happen! Haha! I even added a couple of behind the scenes photos 😉
So enjoy these beautiful photos of my 2015 couples. They aren't in any particular order, I love them all equally 🙂 Enjoy!

Brea's former mayors set the pace for our future3 years ago by Carolyn Campbell
Did you know Brea has 14 living former mayors, all appointed by their peers, 10 who still live in Brea?
They have presided over Brea during different eras and often under challenging conditions, but I am only highlighting former mayors not currently on council.
Our living former mayors date back to 1964, when then 28-year-old Thomas Speers was appointed mayor for a two-year term. Speers now lives in Colorado, and recalled how he and his council were successful in changing the position of city administrator to a full-time city manager and other professional staffing needed for a growing city.
During Rex Gaede's turn as mayor in 1977, he was instrumental in changing the mayoral term from two years to one year so more council members could serve in the center seat. Gaede's most memorable mayor moment was presiding over the opening of the Brea Mall, a very big deal for the community.
Ron Isles, who now lives in Arkansas, served on the council two times, and as mayor in 1982 and again in 1992. He said he worked with the city manager and finance manager to set minimum budget constraints to assure that Brea would always have money and be able to pay its bills. That seems to still be the case today.
A big change came in 1984 when Norma Arias Hicks Buckeye, now of Fallbrook, was appointed mayor. She was the first woman and first Hispanic to be elected to Brea's City Council. She was instrumental in getting Sacramento bigwigs to create Chino Hills State Park, and also fought the landfill expansion.
Carrey Nelson, our oldest living mayor at age 90, served as mayor in 1984 and 1990. He served 14 years on council, and the downtown's huge transformation came under his watch.
Mayor in 1990, Wayne Wedin said working with a strong team of staff, council and the community was successful as was developing a strong relationship with the school district. He was also instrumental in starting Brea's Art in Public Places.
Burnie Dunlap became mayor in 1992, 1993 and 1996. A highlight of being mayor was the completion of the Brea Community Center. He now lives in Anaheim Hills, but says he still loves Brea!
Bev Perry, mayor in 1995, 2000 and 2003, became mayor in 1995 and the next day Orange County declared bankruptcy. She spent much of that year in meetings with other O.C. cities who also had money invested with the county. In the end, she said, they were able to craft a deal that returned nearly all of Brea's money back to the city.
Lynn Daucher, mayor 1997-98, said her most memorable mayor moment was at the downtown groundbreaking in October 1998. She said it was culmination of years of hard work by several city councils, but the best part was Daucher at the controls of the bulldozer. Something I doubt she has repeated.
John Beauman, mayor in 2004 and 2009, especially enjoyed commemorating the Brea Sports Park opening in 2008, and also serving as president of the Orange County Division of the League of California Cities.
Former police chief Bill Lentini was mayor in 2004. His goal on council was to help bring civility back to our local government and finally make the sports park a reality. During his mayoral year, he saw the revitalization of South Brea Boulevard and safeguards set for the hillsides.
Don Schweitzer was mayor in 2008 and 2012, following in the mayoral footsteps from the past of his father and grandfather. His favorite accomplishment as mayor was presenting the idea of a Brea war memorial, getting it funded and finally built.
Ron Garcia served as Brea's mayor in 2006. Unfortunately he did not respond to my requests.
Brett Murdock served as Brea's mayor in 2014 and worked hard on the Lagos de Moreno Park rehabilitation project at Laurel School. "It will be an incredible addition to our great city and school district," he said.
Murdock is the only former mayor who stated he is seriously considering running again for office. Which one? He didn't say.

Full STEAM ahead: Brea district's first magnet school nearly ready to open3 years ago by Carolyn Campbell
By Principal Heather Bojorquez of Laurel Elementary Magnet School of Innovation and Career Exploration
Big things continue to happen in Brea and I couldn't be happier to write about the opening of Brea Olinda Unified School District's very first magnet school this fall. For nearly 95 years, Laurel School has been providing elementary education to students in Brea and this summer it is currently undergoing a an exciting transformation! This August, Laurel will reopen its doors as The Laurel Elementary Magnet School of Innovation and Career Exploration (I.C.E.).
A magnet school is a public school with specialized courses or curricula. "Magnet" schools draw students from across the school boundaries, meaning the school is open to enrollment (pending space availability) to all families who reside in Brea and surrounding communities. Opening a magnet school has been an ongoing discussion amongst the school board and District for the past few years and we are thrilled to see the vision come to life!
Just as its new name implies, Laurel Elementary Magnet School will emphasize innovation and career exploration. Brea schools are one of the strongest community assets the city of Brea has to offer our businesses, and we invite our community to have a part in the education and programming we provide to Laurel students. That being said, a main focus of the Laurel Elementary Magnet school will be partnerships with local businesses. Brea business leaders will sponsor classrooms and provide students the opportunity to solve real world problems that affect their industries and employees. Equally exciting, additional areas of focus for the school will include 1:1 technology for all students and project-based S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts and Math) lessons. Curriculum will be centered around a "hands-on, minds-on" learning approach to help give students the tools they need to address real world issues affecting them in the 21st century and beyond.
So far this summer, our dedicated teaching staff have put in hours of professional development working together as a collaborative team to build and develop student centered lessons. Additionally, the process to improve the overall appearance of campus has begun. Students will return to a freshly painted building, new asphalt on the upper playground, and we are most excited about the new flexible furniture that will allow for easy grouping and changing of the traditional classroom to mirror a collaborative work environment.
I am elated to be part of the Laurel Elementary Magnet School of I.C.E. community and am humbled and honored to hold the position of principal. My vision is to see students leave our school with an understanding of who they are, what they bring, and the limitless potential they have to impact the world. At Laurel, or students will explore, innovate, and create!
We have an amazing school community, knowledgeable and invested teachers, hard-working and caring support staff, dedicated and supportive families. On behalf of the entire Laurel Elementary Magnet School of I.C.E. family, we look forward to making this a successful inaugural year!

25th Annual Brea 8K Classic4 years ago by Carolyn Campbell
Brea 8K is celebrating its 25th year! It's hard to imagine that just 68 people took to the streets in the first Brea 8K Classic. Since that small start in 1992, this race has grown into a favorite community event, one which is expected to draw over 2000 runners/walkers, 600 volunteers, and almost 100 paid and in-kind sponsors.
This will also be our third year hosting two races, the other being the USA Track and field Masters Championships 8K which brings about 200 participants from across the nation. I have been involved since 2011 and enjoy working with this wonderful, all-volunteer board of dedicated parents and advocates.
Many of our volunteers no longer have children benefiting directly from the proceeds of this race, but continue year after year because they feel a strong sense of satisfaction that comes from the rewards it brings to the Brea Olinda High School students. It's a wonderful group of people working together for one goal. Our support from the community is phenomenal.
Our hosting sponsor, the Brea Mall, is fantastic and without their sponsorship, we simply would not have the same event it is today. It definitely is a heartfelt, hometown fun event focused on fitness that raises funds for enriched academic and music programs at BOHS. The focus of these groups are academic achievements, scholarships and the music arts.
We want to thank the whole community, the Brea Olinda Unified School District and board members, the City of Brea and Brea Police Department, the many fabulous restaurants that provide food in our food court, businesses and non-profits, such as the Scouts, that support and sponsor the race every year.
Lastly, we appreciate all the participants that come out on the last Sunday in February year after year to challenge themselves to run/walk the Brea 8K Classic through the beautiful hills of Brea. Truly, the Brea 8K is a gem in our city and something to be proud of. On behalf of the Brea 8K Board , GITA (Global IT Academy), Academic Booster Club, Instrumental Music & Color Guard Boosters and Vocal Music Boosters we thank you for your continued support.

Centennial Celebration Honoring the People of Brea – Rex D. Gaede4 years ago by Carolyn Campbell
By Rex D. Gaede
In 1969, nearly fifty years ago, I entered the public service in Brea as an elected and later re-elected school board member of the then newly established Brea Olinda Unified School District, which had recently replaced the former separate high school, elementary schools, and Olinda school boards. Over the next six years we organized and developed a contemporary and united education program for the children of Brea including the addition of Fanning Elementary School to the system, providing separate temporary district offices on the high school property, participating with the city in their sister city program with Lagos De Moreno, Mexico and improving the positive outcomes of the business and educational functions of a growing school district. As president of the district board on behalf of the common interests of the district, I advanced a close relationship with the city as they began planning for a futuristic civic center designed to accommodate both city and district offices and other related activities within a single complex.
In 1975, I was appointed and later elected to the Brea City Council. I joined the city team in their final financial requirements, plans and eventual construction of a shared site featuring a large retail complex, the Brea Mall, and additional space for housing local governments and related community services at the Brea Civic Center. On September 28, 1977, as mayor of Brea, I had the honor of representing the city and the people of Brea at the opening ceremony of the mall.
In 1978, upon being appointed to the Orange County Planning Commission, I was required to resign from the Brea City Council after serving the community for ten years and taking part in the history of the first major growth of the schools and the city in the modern era.
All-District Elementary Band Winter Concert To Be Held4 years ago by Choha Kim
As an opportunity for Brea elementary school students to showcase and show off their instrumental skills, All-District Elementary Band Winter Concert was held on Dec. 9 at Brea Olinda High School Gym. The concert featured beginning, advanced bands, and student soloists from Arovista, Country Hills, Fanning, Laurel, Mariposa, and Olinda elementary schools in BOUSD.
The programs included the combination of performances of student soloists, beginning, and advanced bands. The concert started off with Enzo La's flute performance of 'The Star Spangled banner.' It continued with Laurel, Mariposa, and Olinda elementary schools' advanced bands. Right after, beginning bands performed with courage despite their lack of skill. Even though beginning bands had frequent mistakes throughout the performance, audiences cheered them with heart.
Donghoon Kim, 5th grader at Brea Country Hills elementary school, shared, "This concert scared me a lot; however, it also helped me with courage to blow saxophone in front of crowds. Since I am a beginner, I didn't expect that I would be able to perform at concert. However, I felt proud of myself and learned more things through this concert."
After beginning bands' courageous performances, Arovista, Country Hills, and Fanning Advanced Bands started with the performance of 'Procession of the Kings' by full bands. Among all the outstanding performances, Glenda Bartell, director, specifically mentioned about Emma McCanne's 'Dance of the Mirlitons(from the Nutcracker Suite).
"Emma McCanne is really impressive because she practiced a lot by herself to play advanced-level of song with flute," Bartell stated.
After McCanne's impressive performance, concert was finalized with 'Hanukkah Celebration.' "I want to improve more so that I can be a soloist for the next year's concert," Kim said.

BOUSD dedicate and rename Wildcat Stadium as Leonard MacKain Field4 years ago by Carolyn Campbell
September 4 was a warm and fuzzy evening high in the hills of Brea as the Brea Olinda Unified School District christened its football field at BOHS Wildcat Stadium as the Leonard MacKain Field. Mac's wife, Helen, and daughters Kristine and Karen, were there - proud as peacocks, but also with a touch of sadness.
The stands were filled with people and groups Mac worked with over the years. New Brea Olinda USD Superintendent Brad Mason asked each group to stand, until the entire stadium rose to offer an enthusiastic standing ovation.
Gayle Chiotti, who lives on Poplar Avenue (the same street as the MacKains) said the night could have been a "Poplar Avenue event." Current or former Poplar Avenue neighbors in attendance included former BOUSD Superintendent of Schools "Skip" Roland, BOHS football coach Robb Perrance, Sonora High football coach Paul Chiotti, former BOHS All-CIF football quarterback Gary Holman and Brea Historical Society president John Bickel.
MacKain (always called "Mac") served the BOUSD for nearly four decades as a principal and assistant superintendent, supervising the design and construction of Mariposa, Fanning and Country Hills elementary schools, playing a key role in the development of the new BOHS, and acting in retirement as a school board member.
Hats off to the Brea Olinda School board for honoring him in this way.

BOUSD Superintendent Skip Roland rides off to a new adventure5 years ago by Carolyn Campbell
The 39-year education career of retiring Brea Olinda Unified School District Superintendent Skip Roland was celebrated recently at a dinner at Embassy Suites. Speakers included Tim Harvey, a lifelong friend and former Brea-Olinda Unified superintendent; Carol Chrisman, Brea Canyon High School principal; Denis Bilodeau from the office of Orange County Supervisor Shawn Nelson; Joe Bartell, Brea-Olinda Teachers Association president; Lisa Santos, Brea-Olinda Unified California School Employees Association president; Joe Rollino, school board member; Jerry Halpin, Brea Olinda High School principal; Ralph Jameson, lifelong friend and professional colleague.
Anne Flesher, assistant superintendent of personnel and educational services, wrote and read a clever poem "Ode to Arthur Jerome, aka "Skip," noting Skip was a kindergartener at Laurel School.
What does Skip plan to do after leaving the district? He said he is going to continue teaching at Brandman University, continue his partnership with EdLeader 21, a national network of school and district leaders, and will study school systems in Sweden and Finland, golf and travel. He'll be riding his gift of a new cruise beach bike with his wife, Sharon.
Skip is truly tops and will be missed. He was a very popular superintendent.
New superintendent Brad Mason begins July 1. We hear he is fabulous.

Laurel PTA needs community's help with Lagos De Moreno Park revitalization project5 years ago by Carolyn Campbell
Laurel Elementary PTA is asking those community members, Fanning Elementary, and Laurel Elementary families to attend the BOUSD Board Meeting this Monday, October 27 at 6:00 p.m. sharp at Brea City Hall Council Chambers regarding Lagos De Moreno Park. The District owns this park-playground, but has not made improvements to it in over 20 years.
Revitalize the Heart of Brea:Lagos De Moreno Park-Laurel Elementary is not on the agenda but during the discussion period, they would like as many supporters as possible to show up in force to help answer these questions: "What's the reason for this lack of attention? Our families and community want answers. Why hasn't the BOUSD School Board, our elected District leadership, given priority to this project? When will a project plan be completed so work can begin to find funding for our playground-park?"
Note: Children are welcome to attend all school board meetings.
