Party: Democratic
City or town of residence: Franktown
Profession: Retired educator and entrepreneur
Campaign website: krugforcoloradoschools.org
Why are you seeking this office?
I'm seeking a position on the State Board of Education because I believe parents deserve a strong voice in our children's education. Currently, only one board member has children enrolled in Colorado public schools and a majority have never had a child attend public school. Dedicated to improve choices and outcomes for public school students, including my own kids, I have the skill set to clean up the mess politicians have made of Colorado schools.
What makes you the best choice for this office?
My incumbent opponent is an insider from a political family who has sat for eight years while Colorado's public school system fell to the bottom in national rankings. She was appointed to the State Board of Education by the political establishment after being twice rejected by voters. My opponent represents the status quo and politics as usual. I represent every outsider who would like a return to prioritizing families over party politics and results over agendas.
What are the most pressing issues facing K-12 education in Colorado?
Funding and the responsible distribution of taxpayer investment into education. Since 2010, Colorado students have increased by 7 percent, but administrative costs have increased by more than 20 percent. It's unacceptable. The state needs someone like me willing to come down hard on frivolous spending and bloated administrator salaries in privately managed public schools. I will demand taxpayer money make its way into classrooms instead of into the hands of middle management.
If elected, what will your top priority be in January?
My top priorities will be to audit the state education budget and reduce standardized testing mandates. Is the state doing everything it can to make sure taxpayer dollars are working efficiently? Why are we limiting instruction time to administer more standardized tests than the federal government mandates? Tens of thousands of students opt out of Colorado's endless tests, so why isn't the State Board of Education listening to its stakeholders?
What else should voters know about you?
I'm a proud father and lucky to be married to the love of my life, my wife Yumiko. I'm an Eagle Scout and Cub Scout leader and enjoy volunteering weekly at church and in my children's school. I taught English in Japan for more than ten years and owned and operated Krug Kabushikigaisha, a Japanese corporation operating a chain of private English schools and staffing native English speaking teachers in Japanese public schools.

Lares Trek to Machu Picchu 4D/3N
As more and more adventurous tourists visit Peru every year to hike the trails around Cusco and visit Machu Picchu, opportunities to escape the tourist trails and walk lesser known and less crowded paths are becoming few and far between.
Fortunately there are still some hidden gems in this area of the Andes. Trails where often the only other people you will see are the local farmers and their families, going about their daily routines as they have for generations. Here at Vicuña Adventures we specialize in trekking experiences that truly take you 'off the beaten track'.
The Lares trek takes us deep into an area that has changed very little over the last 500 years. This remote and rarely visited region offers the trekkers an insight into the real lives of Andean farmers, who still dress in their traditional brightly-colored ponchos. You will have the opportunity to see thatched stone farmhouses surrounded by herds of llamas and alpacas. We are often invited to take a look inside the house's kitchens, and here you will see guinea pigs running loose as the farmer's wife prepares the family meal.
The trek itself is about as challenging as the Inca Trail, and similarly promises spectacular mountain vistas, visits to iconic Inca ruins and the most awe-inspiring night skies seen anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere. Always in the company of our first-class guide, porters and kitchen team, you can be assured of an exciting, comfortable, unforgettable trek.
After 3 days of trekking we rest comfortably on our final night in a hotel in the small town of Aguas Calientes. Our tour then concludes with a visit to one of the most iconic places on the planet, and one of the 7 New Wonders of the World, the sacred Inca citadel of Machu Picchu.
The day before the trek you will meet with your guide and meet the members of your group. Your guide will explain the trek to you, the route, and will provide all of the necessary recommendations depending on the season you make the trek.
We will pick you up early from your hotel to take you to the beginning of the trek at Huaran (3,000 m/9,840 ft) in the Sacred Valley; it is 1 ½ hours by private bus. We will pack the horses and start to walk northward. The trail climbs gently following the Cancha Cancha river towards the community of the same name. On this walk along the river we will see cultivated fields and pass through old Polylepis forests. This type of vegetation is very interesting for a wide assortment of bird life, and the valley itself is very impressive. We will have lunch half way through the hike.
We will pass by the village of Cancha Cancha (3,956 m/12,976 ft). on the way to our camp. After a total hike today of around 6 hours we will reach our campsite for the night at Acopata.
After an early breakfast we will continue up hill. After 2 ½ hours we will reach the highest point of the trek: Pachacutec Pass is at 4,780 m/15,678 ft. The view from here is overwhelming. The Pitusiray and Sahuasiray snowcapped mountains will be right in front of us.
Now we will hike downhill for 2 hours until we reach our lunch spot, next to a captivating lake.
After lunch we will descend for another 1 ½ hours into the valley. We will pass by several glacial lakes along the way. Also we can see herds of alpacas, llamas and sheep. It is also possible to see Gray Brocket Deer, Viscachas, Andean Geese, the rare Giant Coot, Puna Hawks and the impressive Andean Condor. Tonight we camp at 3,870 m/12,694 ft close to Quishuarani village, which has typical stone houses
Today we follow another valley and climb up to the second pass at Willcaqasa mountain (4,458 m/14,622 ft) , for 2 to 3 hours. Again the view of the Andes, turquise lakes and its beautiful valleys are amazing.
After the pass we walk downhill for 1 ½ to 2 hours, passing many gourgeous lakes. This takes us to Cuncani village (3,900 m/12,792 ft).
We then continue downhill for 2 to 3 hours towards the Lares Valley and its hot springs, where we can have a well deserved soak. This is also our lunch spot.
Now that we are fully relaxed, we will get in our private van, which will be waiting for us, for the 3 hour drive to Ollantaytambo (2,792 m/9,158 ft). we will take train to Aguas Calientes, Upon arrival you will check in to your Room and Dinner in Aguas Calientes.
We will wake up very early to take the first bus to the city of Machu Picchu where we will be the first visitors of the day to enjoy the magic and mystery of one of the new wonders of the world. The tour with your guide will take around 2-3 hours. After that, you will have free time to explore the city on your own. In the afternoon, we will take the bus down to Aguas Calientes to board the train back to Cusco. Finally our transfer will be at the train station waiting to bring you to your hotel.

Switzerland: "Smog Refugees" Quit the Communist Party
(Minghui.org) "We are also refugees. The Syrians are refugees of the war, and we are refugees of the smog," a member of a group tourists from Beijing said to a Falun Gong practitioner at a Swiss tourist spot. "I wish I could immigrate here."
Massive smog hit China in December, and the severe air pollution drove a lot of Chinese people out of the country. Touring in Europe has been one way to escape the smog.
Falun Gong practitioners warmly welcomed groups of "smog refugees," and offered them comfort in the form of hope.
"It is not easy to immigrate, but there are other measures you can take to help yourself," the Falun Gong practitioner said to the group, and they were all ears.
"The city government of Beijing announced the first smog red alert. As a former Beijinger, I really feel bad about this, although I live in Switzerland," the practitioner said.
"Do not go back to China," a tourist shouted. "It is not a place for humans!"
"Half of China is now covered by smog, and the situation is getting worse. Whose fault is it?" the practitioner asked.
One tourist answered: "Too many cars and factories."
"But there are also a lot of cars and factories in Europe, as you have seen on this trip," the practitioner countered.
Another tourist said: "Our government does not care about the environment. There are laws, but nobody obeys them. Law enforcement is bought by businessmen and the corrupt officials. The Communist Party only cares about their own interest."
"Yes, that is the key," the practitioner said. "The pollution, the unsafe food, and many other problems in China are caused by the Communist Party."
Most of the tourists nodded.
"Moreover, the Party has committed even worse crimes," the practitioner continued. "It persecutes Falun Gong and arrests the good people who follow the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. In prisons and detention centers, the practitioners are severely tortured. The Party even harvests organs from practitioners for profit."
"This is a crime against humanity," said one of the tourists who had heard about the state-sanctioned organ harvesting.
The practitioner said: "When morality is hits such a low point, heaven will bring disasters. The smog in China reflects this."
"What can we do?" a tourist asked.
"The best way to help yourself is to quit the Party and its associated organizations," the practitioner answered. "The Party is doomed to collapse in the near future. I am sure that you don't want to go down with it. If you want to quit, I can help you to publish your announcement."
"Yes, quit!" everyone in this Beijing group was happy to have a chance to quit the Party. "Thank you, Falun Gong, you take care of yourself."
Another day at the tourist spot, a Chinese woman tried to avoid this practitioner.
The practitioner said to her: "Why are you avoiding me? I am standing here in such cold weather just to tell Chinese people how to avoid disaster. Haven't you experienced the smog in China?"
The woman was a little embarrassed, and stopped. "To be honest with you, before this trip to Europe, I thought that I was living a good life in China. I have a car and an apartment. But now I see that my life is incomparable to people here. Look at their air—you can take a deep breath without any worries. Look at their rivers—you can see down to the bottom. Mountains still look like mountains, and rivers are still rivers. Amazing!"
The woman continued: "This is a real place for humans to live. Look at China—it seems so hopeless. Although I am not from Beijing, my hometown is also heavily polluted. You don't dare to breathe deeply."
The practitioner told her that the Communist Party is the root of all these problems.
The woman said: "Well said. So true. I can tell that you sincerely want to help me. What can I do?"
"There is a way to help yourself," the practitioner said.
"What is it?"
"Have you heard about the movement of quitting the Party?" the practitioner asked.
The woman said yes, but disapprovingly.
"You should seriously consider this," the practitioner said.
They talked for a long time, and the practitioner told her about the sinister history of the Party.
Finally, the woman was convinced and decided to quit the Party to take a stance against its crimes.
She thanked the practitioner. She pulled small bag of dates and walnuts out of her purse. "This is from my hometown," she said. "You are such a patriot, showing so much care for your fellow Chinese. Please accept this gift."
The practitioner accepted the gift, and gave her a Swiss chocolate bar in return.

TWICE Jeongyeon's Hair Is The Longest It's Ever Been
It seems TWICE's Jeongyeon has kept her promise to grow her hair out this year, and fans are falling head over heels in love!
Since her debut with TWICE back in October of 2015, Jeongyeon has always rocked a signature short hairdo. While she's been managed to be styled differently every promotion, she's finally decided to let it grow out. For TWICE's "Knock Knock" promotions, Jeongyeon shed her short-haired reputation, styling with a full fringe and colored a refreshing ash blonde.
Although her hair is still among the shortest in TWICE, she's recently lost the "girl crush" title to Chaeyoung, one of TWICE's co-maknaes and lead rapper of the group.
And while Jeongyeon's now almost shoulder-length hair is the longest her hair has been since her debut with TWICE under JYP Entertainment, it's not the longest hair fans have seen her with. In addition to some old photos of Jeongyeon with long locks during her trainee days, she also sported a similar-length during TWICE's Mnet survival show SIXTEEN.
The new style may not be far from her trademark boyish cut, but most of her fans are hoping that the agency plans to style it longer for her next set of promotions. She may be known for her signature short hair, but netizens were deeply interested towards Jeongyeon after they discovered past photos of her with a longer hairstyle.

This website is a private project. It is a labour of love meant to help share lessons that I have learned along the way from my enthusiasm with herbs.
Please note that the Seed and Plant lists are not all inclusive, but are representative of the simple fact that my herb garden is in Nova Scotia, Canada. If you live in another province or country, there may be …and likely are … many good local suppliers that I have never even heard of. How do you find your best and most reliable local suppliers? A good start point would be your local garden club, who can start you down your own garden path 🙂
If you live in Canada, Richters is, in my not so humble opinion, the mothership for herb seeds and plants. I have been shopping from them for years, and to the best of my knowledge, they are the only Canadian compnay that offers such an all inclusive herb seed and plant list. Seeds can normally be purchased at any time of year, but plants are only available in the spring. Helpful Hint: If there is something special outside of the 'garden varieties, folks should order sooner rather than later when the new Catalog comes out in January or February.
Richters have signed The Safe Seed Pledge.
If you live in Atlantic Canada, Veseys Seeds, along with their vegetable and flower selections, carry most of the 'garden variety' herb seeds one could wish for. They have been selling seeds and plants and farm implements for over seventy five years now and were one of the first companies to sign The Safe Seed Pledge.
Here in Nova Scotia, if one does not want to pay a shipping fee on their seed order, several farm markets and feed stores offer Vesey's Seeds for sale in season. Some will even special order if the seeds you want are not in their display.
]Nova Scotia 'Seedlings'
Concern about GMO food and seeds has been growing around the world in the last few years. As a result, here in Nova Scotia, there has been a real growth in small seed companies who source their seeds from ecologically sound farms in Atlantic Canada. Nor, I suspect, are such good companies limited to Nova Scotia. Helpful Hint – these days one of the fastest ways to find new startups is on Facebook.
There are so many lovely ones out there, but these have become favourites:
The Historic Gardens at Annapolis Royal
The Harriet Irving Botanical Gardens
The Alumni Gardens at The Agricultural Campus of Dalhousie
The Ballymaloe Cookery School Gardens
Herb Gardening Books
In no way, shape or form is this an all inclusive list of all the great books about herbs that have been written over time. That being said, these are the ones that became favourites of mine:
Rodale's Illustrated Encyclopedia of Herbs
The Herb Book, by John Lust
Gerard's Herbal, edited by Marcus Woodward
Landscaping with Herbs by Nancy Ondra
Herbs, the Complete Gardeners Guide by Patrick Lima
The Complete Herbal Handbook for Farm and Stable by Juliette de Bairacli Levy
General Gardening Books
Each and every one of the following books would be an excellent stand alone guide for budding herb gardeners and/or folks looking to learn about earth friendly organic gardening from the ground up:
Rodale's Encyclopedia of Organic Gardening
Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew
The Organic Home Garden: how to grow fruits and vegetables naturally by Patrick Lima
Special Mention – Carrots Love Tomatoes, Secrets of Companion Planting for Successful Gardening, by Louise Riotte
If you live in Nova Scotia
You don't need a weatherman to tell you which way the winds of climate change are blowing. Our gardening seasons are growing shorter, eh? Twenty years ago, we were safe in setting out tender transplants by the Victoria Day weekend and now we are waiting until well after the full moon in June. Frosts are earlier in the fall every year too!
So you can imagine my delight in finding Niki Jabour's book, The Year Round Vegetable Gardener. It is just frosting on the cake that this book would also be a marvelous guide for any rookie anywhere to follow!
By the same token
Our summers seem to be getting hotter and dryer! What does that mean in realspeak? Simply that we may need to change some of our gardening habits if we are going to adapt. Change is not going to come overnight here, but I have been dipping my toes in the very promising Permaculture waters with:
Gaia's Garden by Toby Hemenway,
Sepp Holzer's permaculture : a practical guide to small-scale, integrative farming and gardening, and
The resilient farm and homestead: an innovative permaculture and whole systems design approach by Ben Falk

With another school year just around the corner, now is a good time to see if students will qualify for either of two college tax credits or other education-related tax benefits when they file their 2015 federal income tax returns.
In general, the American Opportunity Tax Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit is available to taxpayers who pay qualifying expenses for an eligible student. Eligible students include the taxpayer, spouse and dependents. The American Opportunity Tax Credit provides a credit for each eligible student, while the Lifetime Learning Credit provides a maximum credit per tax return.
Though a taxpayer often qualifies for both of these credits, he or she can only claim one of them for a particular student in a particular year.
The credits apply to eligible students enrolled in an eligible college, university or vocational school, including both nonprofit and for-profit institutions. The credits are subject to income limits that could reduce the amount claimed on their tax return.
To help determine eligibility for these benefits, the IRS offers a Interactive Tax Assistant tool.
Normally, a student will receive a Form 1098-T from their institution by Jan. 31 of the following year. (For 2015, the due date is Feb. 1, 2016, because otherwise it would fall on a Sunday.) This form will show information about tuition paid or billed along with other information. However, amounts shown on this form may differ from amounts taxpayers are eligible to claim for these tax credits.
Many of those eligible for the American Opportunity Tax Credit qualify for the maximum annual credit of $2,500 per student. Students can claim this credit for qualified education expenses paid during the entire tax year for a certain number of years:
- The credit is only available for four tax years per eligible student.
- The credit is available only if the student has not completed the first four years of post-secondary education before 2015.
Here are some more key features of the credit:
- Qualified education expenses are amounts paid for tuition, fees and other related expenses for an eligible student. Other expenses, such as room and board, are not qualified expenses.
- The credit equals 100 percent of the first $2,000 spent and 25 percent of the next $2,000. That means the full $2,500 credit may be available to a taxpayer who pays $4,000 or more in qualified expenses for an eligible student.
- Forty percent of the American Opportunity Tax Credit is refundable. This means that even people who owe no tax can get an annual payment of up to $1,000 for each eligible student.
- The full credit can only be claimed by taxpayers whose modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) is $80,000 or less. For married couples filing a joint return, the limit is $160,000. The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above these levels. No credit can be claimed by joint filers whose MAGI is $180,000 or more and singles, heads of household and some widows and widowers whose MAGI is $90,000 or more.
The Lifetime Learning Credit of up to $2,000 per tax return is available for both graduate and undergraduate students. Unlike the American Opportunity Tax Credit, the limit on the Lifetime Learning Credit applies to each tax return, rather than to each student. Also, the Lifetime Learning Credit does not provide a benefit to people who owe no tax.
Though the half-time student requirement does not apply to the lifetime learning credit, the course of study must be either part of a post-secondary degree program or taken by the student to maintain or improve job skills. Other features of the credit include:
- Tuition and fees required for enrollment or attendance qualify as do other fees required for the course. Additional expenses do not.
- The credit equals 20 percent of the amount spent on eligible expenses across all students on the return. That means the full $2,000 credit is only available to a taxpayer who pays $10,000 or more in qualifying tuition and fees and has sufficient tax liability.
- Income limits are lower than under the American Opportunity Tax Credit. For 2015, the full credit can be claimed by taxpayers whose MAGI is $55,000 or less. For married couples filing a joint return, the limit is $110,000. The credit is phased out for taxpayers with incomes above these levels. No credit can be claimed by joint filers whose MAGI is $130,000 or more and singles, heads of household and some widows and widowers whose MAGI is $65,000 or more.
Eligible parents and students can get the benefit of these credits during the year by having less tax taken out of their paychecks. They can do this by filling out a new Form W-4, claiming additional withholding allowances, and giving it to their employer.
There are a variety of other education-related tax benefits that can help many taxpayers. They include:
- Scholarship and fellowship grants — generally tax-free if used to pay for tuition, required enrollment fees, books and other course materials, but taxable if used for room, board, research, travel or other expenses.
- Student loan interest deduction of up to $2,500 per year.
- Savings bonds used to pay for college — though income limits apply, interest is usually tax-free if bonds were purchased after 1989 by a taxpayer who, at time of purchase, was at least 24 years old.
- Qualified tuition programs, also called 529 plans, used by many families to prepay or save for a child's college education.

Dossier Disclaimer : The information in this trip details document has been compiled with care and is provided in good faith. However it is subject to change, and does not form part of the contract between the client and the operator. The itinerary featured is correct at time of printing. It may differ slightly to the one in the brochure. Occasionally our itineraries change as we make improvements that stem from past travellers, comments and our own research. Sometimes it can be a small change like adding an extra meal along the itinerary. Sometimes the change may result in us altering the tour for the coming year. Ultimately, our goal is to provide you with the most rewarding experience. Please note that our brochure is usually released in November each year. If you have booked from the previous brochure you may find there have been some changes to the itinerary. VERY IMPORTANT: Please ensure that you print a final copy of your Trip Details to review a couple of days prior to travel, in case there have been changes that affect your plans.
Itinerary Disclaimer : While it is our intention to adhere to the route described below, there is a certain amount of flexibility built into the itinerary and on occasion it may be necessary, or desirable to make alterations. The itinerary is brief, as we never know exactly where our journey will take us. Due to our style of travel and the regions we visit, travel can be unpredictable. The Trip Details document is a general guide to the tour and region and any mention of specific destinations or wildlife is by no means a guarantee that they will be visited or encountered. Aboard expedition trips visits to research stations depend on final permission. Additionally, any travel times listed are approximations only and subject to vary due to local circumstances.
Important Notes : • Please note that this tour combines with other G Adventures tours. As such, the staff and some travel companions on your tour may have previously been traveling together with G Adventures, prior to Day 1 of your tour. Likewise, some staff and travel companions may be continuing together on another G Adventures tour, after your trip concludes. • An essential part of your safari is participation - from putting up your tent (while camping) or packing away in the morning, to helping with meal preparation and cleaning up - it is all part of your adventure and when everyone puts in a little effort the trip will run smoothly. Team spirit is part of the fun! All camping equipment (with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow) is supplied. We supply dome tents and assembly/disassembly takes only 5 minutes. All tents have built-in insect nets. Mattresses are also available, which are approximately 4cm thick, warm and comfortable. • YELLOW FEVER It may be required to show a Yellow Fever certificate upon entering the country(s) visited. Please check in with your local health expert for advice on Yellow Fever and other inoculations required for this area. • Sleeping bags are not available for rent and difficult to purchase locally. • Travelling can be difficult on this tour, as long drives and poor road conditions are the rule as opposed to the exception in both Kenya and Uganda. This camping trip is about travelling to see what the region is like, and see some animals in wildlife parks, to trek to see the mountain gorillas, along and some other sights in between. As such, we cover long distances and have long, bumpy travel days to to get to some of these amazing locations. Despite this, the diversity and scenery of the African landscape, the local culture and abundant wildlife are all well worth the experience. • G Adventures can never guarantee the sighting of wildlife, especially when it comes to mountain gorillas. However, the mountain gorilla trek is organized to ensure success. Before heading into the jungle, our local guides receive coordinates from trackers on the whereabouts of the gorillas, and the trackers stay with the gorillas until the group arrives. Please note that if you are unwell with anything contagious, even a common cold, you may be denied any of the treks to ensure the safety of the gorillas and chimps. This is a national park regulation, and trekking permits will not be refunded if you are denied entrance due to illness. • Visitors to Uganda should be in excellent physical condition, without any heart problems and prepared to spend strenuous days in humid rain forests, steep terrain and high altitude trekking for chimpanzee and gorillas, as well as other primates. Those preferring to remain at base camp in Bwindi may do so, however, there is no price reduction. • The use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited.
Group Leader Description : On this journey, you will be accompanied on your trip by 2 crew members - a Chief Experience Officer (CEO) and a CEO driver. The Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will be the group manager and leader. He/she organizes the trip, and will be there to assist you when needed. He/she will take care of the small things so you can concentrate on enjoying your adventure. All of our CEOs in Southern and East Africa are experienced group leaders, with a broad knowledge base of the region's history, cultures, and wildlife. Your leader will be from either Southern or East Africa depending on which part of the tour you are on. All of our overland adventure vehicle (OAV) drivers are experienced in the routes travelled, and highly skilled in dealing with different terrains. All of our cooks will organize and lead the meal preparation, and have experience in cooking a variety of local and international dishes for large groups. In the Masai Mara your CEO will be joined by certified safari guides. All of our driver/guides are experienced in the routes travelled, and highly skilled in dealing with different terrains, and spotting wildlife. In Uganda, during the actual gorilla trek we use an experienced and certified local mountain guide, expert gorilla trackers, and armed guards to accompany you for your safety. We also use local guides for some included activities where we think more specific knowledge will add to the enjoyment of the places we are visiting.
Group Size Notes : Max 22, avg 20.
Meals Included : 13 breakfasts, 11 lunches, 10 dinners
Meals : As mentioned above, most of the meals on this tour are included in the tour price. All included meals will be prepared from fresh local produce. The majority of the shopping for foodstuffs will be done before the trip departs, and fresh goods, such as meats, fruits, vegetables, and dairy products, will be bought en route during the trip from supermarkets, local shops and markets. Please note that even though our cooks will try their utmost to provide you with a varied and interesting meals, the choices might be somewhat limited, based on what is available on the local market. Breakfasts will generally consist of breads and cereals, if time allows a warm breakfast may be prepared. Many lunches will be provided en-route and will be light meals such as sandwiches and/or salads. All evening meals will be freshly-prepared hot meals, and will consist of a variety of continental and local dishes. Your CEOs will do all the meal preparation and lead the way here, but will prepare a duty schedule for ensuring a fair, rotating participation from you and your group members in the meal preparation and dish washing duties. Vegetarian meals and other dietary requirements need to be specified prior to arrival. Please note all bottled drinking water will be at your own expense.
Transport : 7-seat 4x4 safari van, Lando (overland adventure vehicle), minibuses, walking.
About our Transportation : The Masai Mara portion of the trip is run in private 7-seat 4x4 safari vans. With sliding windows and a large pop-up roofs, these vans are designed for wildlife viewing. If there is a large group, additional vehicles will be used, and the group will be split up. Road conditions can run the full range of conditions from new to very poor, and during dry seasons, the roads can become very dusty. This style of travel is by no means luxurious, but the seats are comfortable and having our own private vehicles allow us the flexibility of making stops when needed, and to stay and watch that crouching lion prepare for an attack. For the remainder of the tour, we use our custom built 24 seat overland adventure vehicle (OAV) named the Lando, to criss-cross through East Africa for most of this trip. The Lando allows the entire group, including your CEO, to travel together, and because of its height, is great for wildlife viewing and for enjoying the scenic landscape. Road conditions can run the full gamut from new to being in very poor condition. This style of travel is by no means luxury but it allows us the flexibility of making stops when needed, and reaching some out-of-the way parts in Africa where the traditional safari crowd would not dare to go. Here's a quick look at the unique features of the well-equipped G Adventures overland adventure vehicle (OAV): - Storage for your main luggage is accessible from inside the vehicle - Day packs can be stored at your feet or on the luggage shelf above - Onboard safety box for valuables - Front viewing windows and large sliding windows, both great for wildlife viewing - Reclining seats - Fully equipped mobile kitchen - Access to a 250L tank of drinking water - Air-conditioning - Charging station, when available in camp (South African plug - 220-240V) - USB charging ports for every traveller at their seat - Wifi in selected countries, depending on the network reception Please note that our Landos do not have on-board bathrooms. This is not a physically demanding journey; however, travelling can be difficult, with long drives and poor road conditions at times. Please take note of the travel times and distances in the above itinerary, and consider that this is often on poor quality, bumpy roads. Despite this, most clients feel that the diversity of the African landscape, culture and wildlife are all well worth the experience. In addition to the overland adventure vehicle (OAV), in Uganda for the gorilla trek, we split the group into smaller vans in order to arrive in a more timely manner to the trail heads of the park.
Solo Travellers : We believe solo travellers should not have to pay more to travel so our group trips are designed for shared accommodation and do not involve a single supplement. Single travellers joining group trips are paired in twin or multi-share accommodation with someone of the same sex for the duration of the trip. Some of our Independent trips are designed differently and solo travellers on these itineraries must pay the single trip price.
Accommodation : Basic hotel (1 nt, single or twin-share), permanent tented camp (2 nts), participation camping (11 nts).
My Own Room : Please note that if you have booked the "My Own Room/Tent" option for this tour, you will receive your own single room/tent for all nights, except for the below.
Rooming and "My Own Room" Exceptions : Days 2-3
About Accommodation : Camping in Africa is truly an adventure. You will be able to get off the beaten track to get a first-hand experience of the beautiful wilderness and nature. While camping, we stay at designated campsites in national parks and outside towns. Campsite facilities in southern Africa are generally good, but can be basic in certain places. There are generally small restaurants and/or bars, flush toilets, showers (generally outdoors, some with simple reed enclosures), washing facilities and telephones available. Additionally, warm water is available at most sites, but it is not guaranteed to always be warm when you take your shower; the warm water may be used up others who also use the camp. We usually set-up camp within close proximity to the toilet facilities, though occasionally to reach them you may to walk a short distance. They are good quality, durable, industry-standard 2-person safari canvas tents. Please note that most adults will not be able to fully stand up inside the tents, though most travellers find these more than adequate, as they have a base area of approximately 4 square meters. These tents are regularly treated with a waterproofing agent, but under certain rainy conditions, the tent fabric may become saturated to the point where seepage or leakage may occur. All tents have built-in mesh insect netting on the windows and doors. We travel with our own portable camp chairs with a comfortable back-rest, and we utilize our own cooking equipment to provide the group good quality camp meals. Please be aware that where we use multi-share accommodations, rooming requests of any kind cannot be taken. Despite the challenge that a few days "roughing it" may pose to some, the experience of being that close to nature, camping under the African stars, and seeing incredible wildlife at your tent door-step is not just gratifying but ultimately an experience of a lifetime, and seeing incredible wildlife at your tent door-step is not just gratifying but ultimately an experience of a lifetime. Please note that due to the high demand for accommodation in the parks, sometimes we will arrange alternative accommodation outside of the park. For private accommodation please see tours in our Classic Travel Style. Camping in East Africa is truly an adventure. You will be able to get off the beaten track to get a first-hand experience of the beautiful wilderness and nature. We stay at designated campsites inside of and nearby the national parks. These campsites generally are very basic, and we carry tents to pitch at the public campsites. The campsites in East Africa are generally good, but basic. Luxury here will mean electricity for charging, warm showers, flush toilets, shelter for eating. Rustic camps have no electricity, simple or no bathing facilities, and squatting long-drop latrines. Expect to see both extremes, though most fall somewhere within that spectrum. All camping equipment (with the exception of your sleeping bag and pillow) is supplied, including camp mattresses, which are warm and comfortable. We supply dome tents and assembly/disassembly takes less than 10 minutes. They are good quality, durable, industry-standard 2-person safari canvas tents. Please note that most adults will not be able to fully stand up inside the tents, though most travellers find these more than adequate, as they have a base area of approximately 4 square meters. These tents are regularly treated with a waterproofing agent, but under certain rainy conditions, the tent fabric may become saturated to the point where seepage or leakage may occur. All tents have built-in mesh insect netting on the windows and doors. In camping within the national parks and conservation areas, some camp sites are enclosed for keeping the resident wildlife out. Other camps are open to the natural environment – care must be taken, especially at night, when a torch/flashlight is recommended when walking around the camp area.

Finishing Point Instructions : The tour ends upon arrival into Nairobi, in the late afternoon, at the Hotel Boulevard in central Nairobi.

You may choose to pre-reserve post-tour accommodation at through G Adventures.
What to Take : You will be on the move a lot, so our advice is to pack as lightly as possible. Your baggage should be clearly labelled and restricted to one soft compact suitcase, sports bag, or backpack, no larger than 30cm(height) x 30cm(width) x 60cm(length), maximum 15kg, plus a daypack. Luggage limits on airlines are strictly enforced, and due to limited vehicle capacity, the cost of transporting any luggage beyond these restrictions is the responsibility of the client. Please note, if you are travelling with a large amount of luggage for other legs of a longer tour, you may leave a portion of it at the start hotel in Nairobi, this is indeed possible as storage facilities are available. For our camping style tours you will need to provide your own sleeping bag, small pillow and sleeping sheet (if you would like). We provide the tent and the sleeping pads. On this trip you may experience several types of weather. It is important to pack clothes for warm days and cool evenings, as well as a warm jacket for early morning wildlife safari drives. Light, quick-drying, practical clothes are advisable for this trip. A set of smart casual clothes is also advisable for your time in Nairobi. We suggest you take something warm eg tracksuit, fleece or pullover for the mountainous areas i.e. Bwindi National Park. It is at a higher altitude and will therefore be cooler in the evenings - a jersey, anorak/wind jacket and tracksuit pants would be suggested. It will also be necessary to take some wet weather gear as it does rain in the mountainous areas of Uganda on a regular basis. We suggest lightweight rain gear for the walk to see the gorillas. While gorilla trekking you will need a comfortable, hard wearing, pair of walking shoes or boots. Conditions are generally very muddy/slippery. There are uphill sections which may be quite steep and strenuous. It is also advisable to wear a long sleeve cotton shirt and lightweight long pants to protect yourself from the undergrowth, stinging nettles and biting ants. (Tracksuit pants often get caught on bushes, thorns, etc and jeans can get very heavy when wet). Gloves are also highly recommended – just cheap gardening gloves will do. Tuck your long pants into your socks/boots to avoid biting insects. Also take a water bottle, and a day pack for camera gear and to carry your jacket if it's too warm. Your clothes will in all likelihood get very muddy and may not recover to their original state - therefore take old clothing for the gorilla trekking. Hard wearing clothes, no bright colours, or no army camouflage clothing should be worn. Greens, khaki and similar neutral clothes are recommended. Please be advised that if you plan to bring a drone with you, the use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited.

Spending Money : Every traveller is different and therefore spending money requirements will vary. Some travellers may drink more than others while other travellers like to purchase more souvenirs than most. Please consider your own spending habits when it comes to allowing for drinks, shopping and tipping. Please also remember the following specific recommendations when planning your trip.
Money Exchange : The local currency in Uganda is the Ugandan Shilling (UGX, or USH), and in Kenya is the Kenyan Shilling (KES, or KSH). Shillings can be obtained locally by changing foreign currency or by using ATMs (where available) which will disperse local currency. Your CEO will inform you where you can change money throughout the tour and approximately how much money you will need for each country. The easiest foreign currency to exchange for locally for any of the local currencies is the $US; however the British Pound and Euro may also be exchanged as well. Please note that due to past problems with forgery, $US notes that are older than year 2006 are not accepted in Africa. Large note ($US 50, $US 100 etc) can be difficult to change in some places, but will gain you the best exchange rate. If you plan to rely on cash, please bring foreign currency (Euro, Pound, USD) with you, as it is often expensive to buy these currencies locally. And in more rural areas, it is often not likely. If you plan to buy your visas at borders, you will need to bring $USD cash to pay for these visas. Please note you cannot use the local currency or any other currency to buy these visas- they must be purchased in USD. Please do not bring Travellers' cheques to Africa. They are difficult if not impossible to exchange in many places. Visa/Plus system cards are the most widely accepted debit cards. it is harder to find machines Mastercard/Cirrus cards. We highly recommend that if you hold a Mastercard, you obtain a Visa card prior to departure and travel with both. This is also useful should somethingunforeseen happen to one of your cards during your travels. While there are many ATMs in the major centres, there are no guarantees that your credit or debit cards will actually work in Africa. Check with your bank. Credit cards can be used in major cities and towns ONLY but please do not rely on them as a method of payment because they are generally not widely accepted. You should be aware that to purchase products or services on a credit card a fee of 5%-10% usually applies. The majority of our optional activities can also be paid by credit card. Your CEO will advise on these. Please note that in many areas there may be occasional power-outages, where there will be no electricity for hours at a time. In addition, ATMs outside of larger centers often run out of cash or can be out of order unexpectedly. These factors could affect your ability to access money from ATMs. As such, please do not rely on credit or debit cards as your only source of money. A combination of foreign currency and debit/credit cards for cash advances is best. Always take more rather than less, as you don't want to spoil the trip by constantly feeling short of funds. As currency exchange rates can fluctuate often we ask that you refer to the following website for daily exchange rates: www.xe.com.
Emergency Fund : Please also make sure you have access to at least an additional USD $200 (or equivalent) as an 'emergency' fund, to be used when circumstances outside our control (ex. a natural disaster) require a change to our planned route. This is a rare occurrence!
Tipping : Tipping is an expected, though not compulsory, component of your tour program. The gesture serves as an expression of appreciation for exceptional service, and amounts given are up to your discretion. Tipping is one of the most direct ways that you can have a positive economic impact within the African community. Although it may not be customary for you, it is an important source of income for those in the tourism industry. Giving a tip should be a seen as a formal 'thank you', and the action should in no way be awkward. The best method of tipping someone that has served the whole group is to plan in advance, and not rush when it comes to saying goodbye. A suggestion would be for each group member to contribute anonymously by putting their tip into an envelope. This often works the best and the group should gather to present the gift to the recipient(s), offering their thanks and showing their appreciation. This method brings the action out into the open, allowing for a friendly and appreciative interaction between the group and the recipient(s). You may use the following as a guideline, all given in a per person format: CEO: $5-8 USD (per day, per person) Local guides: $2-3 USD (per day) Safari Guide/Driver: $2-3 USD (per day) Restaurant Staff: 10-15% of cost of bill Gorilla trekking guides: $2-4 (per day)

Health : We recommend you contact your family physician, or your local travel clinic for the most up-to-date health information at least one month before departure. Travellers should also carry a basic first-aid kit and hand sanitizers/antibacterial wipes on their travels. Medical facilities are basic throughout these countries. For your own safety, we strongly recommend that you advise your tour leader of any medical condition that may affect you while travelling with the group. Your tour leader will be able to inform you of local health advisories (e.g. drinking water quality). Please ensure you have all the inoculations recommended by your doctor.
Safety and Security : Many national governments provide a regularly updated advice service on safety issues involved with international travel. We recommend that you check your government's advice for their latest travel information before departure. We strongly recommend the use of a neck wallet or money belt while travelling, for the safe keeping of your passport, air tickets, travellers' cheques, cash and other valuable items. Leave your valuable jewelery at home - you won't need it while travelling. Many of the hotels we use have safety deposit boxes, which is the most secure way of storing your valuables. A lock is recommended for securing your luggage. When travelling on a group trip, please note that your group leader has the authority to amend or cancel any part of the trip itinerary if it deemed necessary, due to safety concerns. Your Chief Experience Officer (CEO) will accompany you on all included activities. During your trip you will have some free time to pursue your own interests, relax and take it easy and explore at your leisure. While your CEO will assist you with options available in a given location, please note that any optional activities you undertake are not part of your itinerary, and we offer no representations about the safety of the activity or the standard of the operators running them. Please use your own good judgement when selecting an activity in your free time. Although the cities visited on tour are generally safe during the day, there can be risks to wandering throughout any major city at night. It is our recommendation to stay in small groups and to take taxis to and from restaurants, or during night time excursions. Water based activities have an element of danger and excitement built into them. We recommend only participating in water based activities when accompanied by a guide(s). We make every reasonable effort to ensure the fun and adventurous element of any water based activities (in countries with varying degrees of operating standards), have a balanced approach to safety. It is our policy not to allow our CEOs to make arrangements on your behalf for water based activities that are not accompanied by guide(s). Swimming, including snorkeling, is always at your own risk. Read more about travel safety for ways to further enhance your personal safety while traveling.
Trip Specific Safety : Nairobi -Always leave your passport (It's better to carry a photocopy of it instead), other valuables and money that you won't be using in the safe deposit in your hotel room/reception. This is free of charge to G Adventures Adventure clients. -Remember that like in any other city, you should never leave your bags unattended, nor flaunt jewellery, cameras etc -Please don't wander through the city at night. Stick to the main streets only during the day, and after sundown, please take a taxi. Taxis can be organised from reception of your hotel. Also, take the address of the hotel with you. -People are generally friendly, but don't let people take advantage of you, especially the sales people! -Beware of people approaching you on the street with an apparent interest of where you are from, and want to sit down and have a chat with you. These people are most likely con men and try to get money from you in one way or another -People on the street who ask you if you want a safari and have a brochure are often con men, best to avoid these folk. Besides, you're already on safari! Photography Please refrain from taking photos of police stations, airports, bus stations, immigration are border crossings, army barracks and personnel, or any government building. It is against the law and will result in the minimum of your film and camera being confiscated. Please note that the use of drones in national parks in Southern Africa is prohibited.
A Couple of Rules : Illegal drugs will not be tolerated on any trips. Possessing or using drugs not only contravenes the laws of the land but also puts the rest of the group at risk. Smoking marijuana and opium is a part of local culture in some parts of the world but is not acceptable for our travellers. Our philosophy of travel is one of respect towards everyone we encounter and in particular the local people who make the world the special place it is. The exploitation of people in the sex trade is completely contrary to this philosophy. Our CEOs have the right to expel any member of the group if drugs are found in their possession or if they utilize the services of paid sex workers, in any capacity.
Travel Insurance : Travel insurance is compulsory in order to participate on any of our trips. When travelling on a group trip, you will not be permitted to join the group until evidence of travel insurance has been sighted by your leader, who will take note of your insurance details. When selecting a travel insurance policy we require that at a minimum you are covered for medical expenses including emergency evacuation and repatriation. A minimum coverage of USD200,000 is required. G Adventures can provide you with the appropriate coverage. We strongly recommend that the policy also covers personal liability, cancellation, curtailment and loss of luggage and personal effects. Some tours include adventure activities that require extra coverage (e.g. crampon use); please review your itinerary and make sure that you are covered for all included activities. If you have credit card insurance we require proof of purchase of the trip (a receipt of credit card statement) with a credit card in your name. Contact your bank for details of their participating insurer, the level of coverage and emergency contact telephone number.

Arrive at anytime. Prepare for tomorrow's early morning by checking out the Hotel Boulevard Bar with your newest friends. Travelling can take a lot out of you so sit back, fill those food and drink needs, and spend a chill night becoming familiar with your group and CEO.
Hit the road and journey through the Great Rift Valley today on the way to one of the most famous national parks in Africa and Kenya's premier wildlife reserve. Stretch those legs and take in your surroundings before heading on a late afternoon wildlife safari drive with excellent chances of seeing the "big five". This natural environment coupled with the park's varied wildlife provides for a spectacular safari experience.
Grab those cameras and jump in the safari vehicle with your driver/guide to spot wildlife in the Masai Mara National Reserve. Listen to your guide describe the African bush as you traverse one of the world's top safari destinations. Masai Mara is known for its abundance of big cats and wildebeest (see if you can capture a picture of one)!
Awake to the sounds of the bush as your alarm clock before breaking down camp and jumping in the Lando. Today, the group is heading to Lake Nakuru, known for harbouring flocks of pink flamingos and a rich variety of bird species. You'll stop for a picnic lunch along the way near Mai Mahiu before reaching the safari lodge inside Lake Nakuru National Park. Then, the group will go on a late afternoon wildlife drive through the area.
Another day, another chance to see more wildlife and live your African safari dream. After your morning safari drive around Lake Nakuru keeping your eyes wide open in search of buffalo, impala, and the elusive leopard the group will bump along in the Lando sharing photos of your day on the road to Eldoret.
It's time to cross another country off of those travel lists as you cross the border from Kenya into Uganda. Drive along reminiscing on inside jokes and experiences from the trip before camping in Kampala (the country's capital) where you will arrive in the late afternoon.
Even though you get to do something pretty awesome everyday you're going to cross the equator today in the Lando (which we think is a pretty cool thing to be able to add to a travel resume) and head off to Lake Bunyonyi. The name Bunyonyi means 'place of many little birds' and it is undoubtedly the loveliest lake in Uganda. It's winding shores encircle 29 islands and its surrounded by steep terraced hillsides that will have you wondering if you are somewhere in Asia. But the best part is that Lake Bunyonyi is a croc and hippo free lake (unlike many lakes in East Africa) so you can swim in its crystal-clear waters as much as you like… such bliss!
Today's the day that some of your dreams may just come true because you are going on a guided mountain gorilla trek in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park (so insanely cool!) So get ready to embark on an unforgettable hike deep into the jungle through volcano forests alongside a park ranger to search for mountain gorillas. The treks can vary in length and difficulty so be prepared for a challenge, but know that if you spot these majestic creatures (we share 98% of our DNA with them) it will all be worth it. Note: Ugandan authorities are fiercely protective of this natural treasure, and currently permit only a maximum of eight people, per day, to visit a given gorilla family. The group will be split into different sub-groups for the trek, and depending on the number of travellers, different sub-groups may do their trek on different days.
Let's give Lake Bunyonyi some love today. Explore this magical place as the morning mist rises off of the gently lapping waters. With tons of optional activities to choose from like, swimming, hiking, canoeing, bird watching, or a motorboat tour of the lake there's no time to be bored. Then relax together at the lodge in the evening talking about your group gorilla experiences.
Sit back, relax, and watch the Ugandan countryside slip past on today's journey to Kalinzu Forest Reserve further north in the country. The forest reserve is part of Queen Elizabeth National Park and is characterized by open savannah, large area of swamp around Lake George, and the extensive Maramagambo Forest in the southeast. There's a lot of landscapes to experience so what are you waiting for? Get started!
You know that saying, "the early bird gets the worm" well in this case the early bird gets to see chimpanzees. Get up early for an included chimpanzee tracking excursion and explore the verdant Kalinzu Forest Reserve with a ranger while being on the lookout for these chimpanzee families. Afterwards, the group will visit tea plantation before setting off to Lake Mburo. Once you arrive there you can choose to book an afternoon boat cruise on the lake, or explore the local area on foot.
Head back across the equator today in the Lando; Uganda is one of the few countries in the world where you can cross this imaginary geographical line on land. Observe how water swirls in opposite directions on either side of the equator and then stop to enjoy a meal at the G Adventures-supported AidChild Equation Café & Gallery. With full stomachs and even more full hearts the group will continue on to Jinja, the adventure capital of Uganda.
Get out there, get active, and have some fun! Explore Jinja today solo or with your group by participating in the plethora of outdoor and adventure activities they have to offer. Choose to raft down the White Nile River, break a sweat mountain biking up and down the hills surrounding the town, or for a more laid back day check out the local market. Keep your eyes ready to spot monkeys and other wildlife that can wander to the outskirts of this town.
Today is a bit of a travel day but you won't mind because you could use the rest, (besides it's the perfect time to post those Instagram photos that everyone at home is dying to see.) The group will be leaving Uganda and crossing over into Kenya for a night out in Eldoret. Hang out together as a group, maybe grab a drink somewhere and reminisce on the epic(ness) of your trip thus far.
After your adventurous experiences yesterday you'll be glad to have a more low key travel day to replenish your energy before the journey home. So sit back and enjoy the ride as the group transfers through to the Kenyan countryside to Nairobi. We're thinking naps, story time, and then maybe a mini dance party in the Lando to get you through the day. (Toto's Africa song anyone?) Tour ends on arrival in Nairobi. Not ready to leave Africa just yet? (Yeah, we don't blame you) talk with your CEO about extending your adventure and get to know Kenya or beyond!
If you're interested in this tour, please fill out this form and I'll get back to you ASAP!

How can I query for a list of customers + the dollar amount of their last order?
I get an exception that Last() cannot be translated by the query translator.
Also, I'd like a LEFT JOIN. Thus, if a customer has no orders, I'd like his LastOrderAmount to be 0.
asked Feb 22 '12 at 18:52
Dmitri Maximov
Apparently, the Last() method is not supported. I tried using First() and doing OrderByDescending(o => o.OrderDate) to reverse the sequence of the elements. The query executes now, but it returns the amount of the FIRST order, instead of the last. Apparently, the OrderByDescending() is not being applied.

Great news, thank you. Roughly in how many hours will it be released? I hate to bug you guys, but it's really urgent for us.

Ara, it might take a whole day to get it cooked and checked. I'll notify you here or you may monitor the blog for the announcement.

Chasing Rainbows In A House Of Mirrors
The state of Divine Disconnect, when you are feeling out of touch, imperfect, inadequate or wanting in your life, is not a reflection of who you really are, neither is it some shameful personal defect that requires salvation. It is in fact a reflection of who you are not, because you have become what you are not.
This sense of being disconnected or separated from your Divine Self is not real, it is a distorted phantasm. It is your physical form trying to make sense of the distorted, grotesque image you have of your own Divinity. You are seeing yourself reflected in a house of mirrors lined with rows and rows of limiting fears, self-destructive beliefs and false idols. In this state you become cut off from your true Soul Purpose and Life Calling. You are no longer aligned with your Divine Self and you lose your direction and purpose. The anxiety, fear and pain that you then feel is your inner guidance system attempting to nudge you back into the right direction.
No one and nothing outside of you can give you salvation, or free you from the misery. You have to light your own lamp. You have to know the miniature universe that you yourself are ~ Banani Ray
Trying to access your inner Divine Being from such a limiting, ill-defined state of mind amounts to the impossible task of chasing rainbows. A mission impossible. A road to nowhere.
Instead of chasing an imaginary pot of gold at the end of some man-made rainbow, you have the power to reawaken the flawless Higher Being that you truly are. You can be like a transparent, multi-faceted prism that bends, shapes, reflects and transforms the light of Divinity into the spectral colors of a truly blessed reality, filled with wonder, joy and purpose.
Once you return to this natural state of being, you will no longer feel the need to go chasing after elusive, earthly rainbows, for you would have unleashed the true, multi-hued rainbow of your intended Divine being. You will then be the rainbow, the true reflection of your Divine origins.
Thomas Troward explains that our spiritual reawakening from the Divine Disconnect is inevitable and will happen as a matter of course at some point in our earthly existence as it was originally intended, whether we are ready or not. He writes:"The awakening to consciousness of our mysterious interior powers will sooner or later take place, and will result in our using them whether we understand the law of their development or not, just as we already use our physical faculties whether we understand their laws or not."
Once the soul awakens, the search begins and you can never go back. From then on, you are inflamed with a special longing that will never again let you linger in the lowlands of complacency and partial fulfillment ~ John O'Donohue
While you remain spiritually asleep, or out of alignment with your original Life Plan, your Divine Self will constantly try to reconnect with you and guide you towards your intended Soul Purpose and Life Calling. You will experience this as an inner sense of urgency, restlessness, longing, sadness or nostalgia. It will feel like missing a loved one you do not know, or being 'homesick' for a place you have never been.
Once you become aware of your true spiritual nature and recognize the existence of your inner Divine Being, you will automatically begin to receive the comfort, guidance and assistance to transform your life.

These days, our knowledge of celebrities too often originates with paparazzi images and snarky quotes by anonymous "insiders." After a while, it's easy to forget that stars are real people. That's why HuffPost Celebrity decided to launch its all-new #nofilter quick-fire question and answer series. Because how well do you know someone until they've shared their guiltiest pleasures?
Whitney Cummings and Chris D'Elia play a happily unhitched couple on their NBC sitcom, but in real life, the pair are longtime platonic pals. Though the two comedians aren't romantically involved, their hilarious rapport is one of the highlights of "Whitney," which began its second season Wednesday night. Here, Cummings and D'Elia reveal why their fictional relationship works and what's off-limits when it comes to dating.
What's the secret to your onscreen chemistry?
Whitney Cummings: Sex every morning before we shoot.
Chris D'Elia: It might be the fact that we haven't had sex.
WC: Chris and I have been very close for six or seven years now. We came up together. I wrote the part for him. So, I think that really helps a lot -- we feel very safe with each other when we're acting and I think that's a big part of it.
What's the biggest misconception about you?
WC: That I have a boyfriend who loves me.
What's your guiltiest pleasure?
CD: "Dexter"
WC: "Chelsea Lately"
What's the silliest thing you've ever lied about?
CD: The last question.
WC: Saying I like Chris.
If you were on a reality show, what would it be called?
CD: "Survivor," and I would lose first.
WC: It's already on. It's called "Cheaters."
If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?
CD: Bacon is so good.
WC: Bacon for everyone.
How did you get on death row?
CD: I killed Whitney.
WC: For bacon. I got on death row because I got in a fistfight with a meter maid. I killed someone in the Whole Foods parking lot and am trying to get out of it.
If you could ask Kim Kardashian any question, what would it be?
CD: Why?
WC: Who?
What shows are always on your DVR?
CD: Anything I've been on. And "Cops."
WC: "2 Broke Girls," not even kidding. "Chelsea Lately," "Breaking Bad," "Snapped," "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo." I have a lot.
Who's your ideal drinking buddy, living or dead?
CD: Tupac
WC: Chelsea Handler
What's your dating deal-breaker?
WC: If they want to date me, it's off.
CD: If they don't laugh at themselves. If I can make fun of them and they don't laugh, then it's off.
WC: My deal-breaker is people being verbally abusive.
What's your go-to excuse?
WC: Mine is that I just turned 30. People will be like, "Hey, can you come to my birthday party?" I'm like "I can't, I'm so sorry, it's just that I'm 30 now." I love being 30, because I'm not in my 20s anymore. I can't come to your red-cup keg party.
What's one thing you do when you're alone that you wouldn't do in front of someone else?
CD: Oh, there's nothing.
WC: Nothing!
What's one thing from your childhood wardrobe that you wish you could wear now?
WC: Mustard-yellow B.U.M. Equipment sweatshirt. I wore it with jeggings before they were cool. My brother's oversize B.U.M. Equipment with some Jordache jeans.
What's on your nightstand?
CD: Whatever the last chick left there. You know what really is there? Nasal spray. Not that cool, huh?
WC: I have nasal spray, but it's a sexual thing.
