Gotta love a BRF
BRF aka Best Running Friend.
I received the best message last night, it read:
Even when Im out drinking, songs come on and remind me of running with you, properly remind me of my running addiction. Can I be your BRF again? J
Awwwww, of course you can I think. We have had some fantastic adventures together so I am dead keen to restart anew. Then I realize I better get my arse into gear too. It's been a big year and a very relaxing couple of weeks, I'm in fairly average shape at the moment.
Since completing my first half ironman in June I really felt like I needed a break. Its been a huge year with my first long course triathlon in February, my first half ironman in June, writing and publishing my first book and seeing a counselor for a few months to finally deal with some long buried deep grief and anger I had locked up from my mothers death. It just felt like the time was here to relax a little, sleep in, catch up with some friends, and spend some well-needed time with my gorgeous girls.
My BRF has also had a run of it with a promotion turning into ridiculous demands being placed on her at work, buying their first home, her son starting school, trying to juggle kids around 14 hour days, working till 1am and getting up and doing it all again the next day. The ongoing sickness from being so run down and stressed, and then a leg injury that had her in pain every time she ran.
So fair to say we lost our way a little and became quite out of sync. It was hard but we had a lot going on individually and our times just never matched. But great news is we are finding our way back again. We ran the city to surf last Sunday as is our tradition. We reconnected over a few beers and here we are again talking our next goal race and best of all running together again.
So lesson here is sometimes things happen that can sway you from one path a little in pursuit of another. Sometimes your priorities can sway a little temporarily, and the timing becomes a challenge. Sometimes you might just need a bit of a rest. Only you know what is real and what could just be excuses. You and a good BRF.
A good BRF will act as a beacon and call you back to what you love doing eventually. A good BRF understands the difference between just slacking and really needing some time to deal with some stuff. A good BRF will give you time to do what you need and just quietly assure you she is there when you need. A good BRF also knows that none of it will matter as soon as its just the sound of your feet and the scenery buzzing by. A good BRF will welcome you back no question and just move forward to the next shared goal and vision.
If you don't have a BRF, I recommend finding one if you can. Start asking people you know on 'run dates'. See if you click and find the right fit. It's a rare and special friendship based on something unique from other friendships. I wish you will in your mission and hope you can enjoy the laughs, achievements, pain, sweat, joy, dirt, love and peace that I have found and shared with my BRF.

Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer
Enbridge is proud to be the title sponsor of the Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec legs of the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer.
A remarkably successful program, the Ride to Conquer Cancer event series is Canada's largest peer-to-peer fundraiser, in terms of dollars raised. Since its inception in 2008, the event has raised more than $378.3 million for cancer research, treatment, and care at the Alberta Cancer Foundation, the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation in Toronto, and the Jewish General Hospital Segal Cancer Centre in Montreal.
Every year, thousands of riders across Canada bring passion and perseverance in their efforts to help achieve a cancer-free future—first by raising thousands of dollars in pledges, then by saddling up for an epic 200-kilometre ride. Money raised goes toward cancer research, prevention, treatment, and enhancements in care—striking an important blow in the fight against a disease that impacts one in four Canadians. Enbridge is honoured to support the above centres and foundations in their valiant quest to conquer cancer in our lifetime. Sign up today at conquercancer.ca
During the 2017 Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer season, more than $39 million was raised for cancer research, treatment and care—and more than 9,600 cyclists conquered hundreds of kilometres of road.
The 2017 season kicked off in Ontario on June 10-11, raising about $20.5 million and drawing more than 5,000 riders. It continued in Quebec on July 9-10, with about 1,100 riders saddling up and $4.1 million raised. The Alberta leg of the 2017 Ride was held on August 12-13, generating $6.7 million and a throng of more than 1,500 riders.
In 2016, a total of $17.3 million, $4.4 million, and $6.35 million were raised in Ontario, Quebec and Alberta, respectively.

I need some advice. I am trying to open my pool and I first tested the CYA and pH. I have a FAS-DPD kit I bought from Leslie's Pool (before I could get a kit through TFP!) last year, so the chemicals are about 10 months old.
When I tested my CYA, I got no reading (black dot never disappeared). At the end of last season my CYA was a little high (80-100) but I figured replacing the water drained during the winter (about 12 inches) would probably bring it down a little bit. Is it possible my chemicals are bad? I had two bottles of reagent (one open and one never opened) and I used the open one and got no result, so I used the unopened one and still got no result. I guess this means either my CYA has mysteriously gone through the roof or the testing kit is defective.
I then tested the pH and it was very high (more than 8 – bright pink water). This is also unusual as I usually have to add baking soda to raise it, not lower it.
I did buy a truck load of water to top off the pool this spring (we are on a well and can't handle it). I bought a truck load. I'm not sure how many gallons but it raised the water level about 10 inches. Also my pool, while closed, is not covered during the winter which was pretty mild here this year, so I have a LOT of algae to deal with and I don't know how this might affect the readings I am getting.
So, do you think my test kit is bad or is it possible my water is incredibly out of balance? I wanted to open this weekend but not sure if I should proceed with no confidence in the readings I am getting. BTW, out of desperation I even used a test strip my wife had for the hot tub and it also indicated high pH and high CYA.

[IMGCAP(1)]Who buys a cookbook and never makes any of its recipes? The same person who goes to a conference and loads up on great ideas and never implements them.
As I sat through many great sessions at the 2012 AICPA PCPS TECH AAM Conference, I got excited about the potential that could come from implementing all the terrific marketing ideas, strategies and tactics being presented. I also think to myself that while these really are good ideas, I cannot possibly envision a situation where I would have the time, resources, or ability to implement more than just a few initiatives successfully.
It reminds me of all the great cookbooks I have—from Bouchon, Nordstrom Flavors, Balthazar to even The Mafia Cookbook. Some I have bought and then never made a single recipe. What a waste! Not to mention, a storage problem in my Chicago townhome. I see the parallel with getting excited about a conference, attending, and then coming back home and doing absolutely nothing with all the great information you've just learned.
When it comes to embarking on a new marketing strategy, idea or tactic, the implementation is where all the magic happens. But for partners, managers and firms new to marketing, it can be hard to grasp the scope of commitment required to be successful in implementing a new marketing program.
So, here are three ways you can increase your chances of successful implementation:
1) If you want to dig in and do it yourself, here are a few tips:
a. Create a marketing team or committee around the initiative, share the workload, and meet frequently to discuss progress and obstacles to success.b. Align the initiative actions with something that you do every day, such as your timesheet. Make it so that you cannot submit your time until you do something to move the initiative forward.
c. Don't bite off more than you can chew. Start small and get some successes under your belt before you add another initiative to your list.
2) If you think you need more direction, insight and perspective before you get started:
a. Read up on the topic, contact firms that have been successful at the task, and seek advice from your association/network member firms.b. Have an open mind when considering external assistance – sometimes you may think you need a banana when an apple is really what will solve your problem.
c. Consider someone with industry experience – someone who can speak your "language" and understand the dynamics of a CPA firm can be the difference between success and failure.
3) If you think you are ready to add a part-time or full-time marketing person to help you with implementation:
a. Start by identifying what you want/need done. Create goals and objectives for the role. Set this person up for success by clearly defining the position, responsibilities and goals.b. Hire someone with experience in professional services marketing. There are many nuances to our industry and someone with that background can help you hit the ground running.
c. Consider the assistance of a professional recruiter to help you find the right person or help you with the interview process. The questions you need to ask a potential marketing person at your firm are not the same as the ones you ask a potential staff accountant.
Coming home from a conference loaded up with great ideas is one thing. Finding a way to successfully implement them is another. Before you get too excited and dig in, take a moment and step back to ensure you can and will be successful with implementation long-term. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a recipe to make.

The time for New Year's resolutions is at hand. And while some are striving to eat healthier and get more exercise in 2018, there are a few resolutions everyone can make to help keep their home more safe, secure, and more efficient.
The folks at familyhandyman.com have a ton of ideas for homeowner resolutions, but among the most valuable is the suggestion to call for an energy audit. This entails inviting a specialist in to perform a series of tests that tell you the efficiency of your heating and cooling system and the overall efficiency of your home.
On the basis of the test results, auditors will likely recommend low-cost improvements to save energy, and larger upgrades that will pay you back within five to seven years. Audits take two to three hours and cost $250 to $400, but many utility companies or local and state energy offices could offer a substantial rebate.
More than a few real estate blogs urge homeowners to resolve to find a way to make extra payments on your mortgage. While paying even as little as $25 - $100 more per month may seem like it could have little impact, sources say it makes a huge difference on the total you end up paying over the course of the loan. It can also shorten the amount of time you're making payments and can have you owning your house free and clear sooner than you expected.
If you want to save more and waste less in 2018, the Natural Resources Defense Council - an organization that pushes for more intelligent management of natural resources - suggests making a resolution to stop wasting food. In 2017, Americans on average tossed out roughly 40 percent of their food.
That one behavior modification could save you roughly $1,300 per household per year - quite a chunk of change. The council suggests planning out grocery shopping, meals and other elements of consumption to bring your household into the zero-food-waste category in 2018.

[Updated for 2018!] I get a lot of questions from readers about Barcelona's cannabis clubs. Questions range from "How Can I get Membership at a Cannabis Club in Barcelona?" to "Is Weed Legal in Spain?" to questions about the club's use of personal information and many others. Of course, there's also no shortage of questions about the actual marijuana on offer in Barcelona. Because many of these questions follow a common theme, I thought this short but direct list of the 10 most important things you need to know about Barcelona's cannabis clubs might help shed some light on what is – by necessity – a private industry.
(This is a preliminary application process; not all who apply will qualify for membership based on Spanish law and club policy. This process is not meant to be promotional in any way; application for membership is general and is not necessarily applied to any particular club unless the applicant fully qualifies.)
Here are the 10 most important things you need to know about cannabis clubs in Barcelona:
1.) Cannabis Clubs in Barcelona are private, not public
Don't confuse a cannabis club in Barcelona for a coffeeshop in Amsterdam; they're not at all the same thing. Amsterdam's coffeeshops are public and are open to anyone at any time. Barcelona's cannabis clubs, on the other hand, are only open to new members via referrals through existing members. These policies result in striking differences between the two:
- Amsterdam's coffeeshops feel like you're hanging out at a pub or bar
- Barcelona's cannabis clubs feel like you're hanging out in your own living room
If you join a cannabis social club, you can trust that your information will remain private. You won't receive marked mail from the club, they won't sell, give away or provide your information to anyone else, the club will not leak or otherwise make your information available to government or other authorities, and the club won't spam you with advertisements or offers. Why? Because it's all private, not public.
2.) You Don't "Buy" Weed from Barcelona's Cannabis Clubs
When you become a member of a cannabis club in Barcelona, you are essentially part of a coalition that grows and distributes marijuana among its members. Therefore, the marijuana that's grown belongs to all members, including you. You are required to pay for your share of what it costs to grow the marijuana and pay for the building space and other facilities, utilities, etc. These costs are recouped in a number of ways, and members generally share the cost.
This means that you're not buying weed when you go to a smoking club. You're simply acquiring your share of what you and other members have grown. Therefore, it is considered rude to talk about "buying weed," and if you do so while at a club you might be corrected. Instead, ask how much the member share is, or how much contribution is required for X number of grams of cannabis.
3.) You Need an ID and Address in Spain to Get a Membership
In order to get a membership at a cannabis club you must present a valid government-issued passport, driver's license, ID, or NIE card. You must also register using a regular residential address in Spain; in most cases a hotel or hostel address won't work so you will need to provide a residential address. No mail will ever be sent to the address you provide, the information will be kept strictly confidential and in most cases you are not required to "prove" your address. Spanish residency is NOT required to join a cannabis club in Barcelona or any other city; you must merely supply a residential address at the time of your inscription.
NOTE: In addition to the above, some clubs may require you to allow them to photograph you for their records. If you're comfortable with this, then go for it.
Additionally, some clubs require members to be 21 years old or older, while others accept new members as young as 18.
4.) You can Still Get in Trouble for Smoking Marijuana in Barcelona
Just because you can get weed legally in Barcelona doesn't mean you can be flippant about it. Spanish law is very liberal in private spaces. Therefore, it's okay to have some marijuana in your own home, or in a private club. But if you display or use marijuana in a public place and are caught, you'll almost certainly be fined, the marijuana will be confiscated and depending on the circumstances you could be arrested and jailed.
Be smart. Just because you see people smoking joints on Las Ramblas doesn't mean you should too. In fact, the truth of the matter is that outside of a private residence or a club, you could be harassed and ticketed by police. If you take cannabis out of a club (most people do) then please remember to transport it in your under garments. Spanish authorities cannot search there without a warrant. If you do get caught with weed in public, you will be ticketed and pay a fine, but there is no criminality involved unless you are over a threshold that most cannabis club members never exceed.
5.) Not All Marijuana at Cannabis Clubs in BCN is grown by the Club
Some Barcelona smoking clubs can't afford the space, equipment and services required to grow fine quality marijuana. Instead, they resort to acquiring it via other means. In some cases this may involve getting weed from other clubs, or it may require cooperation with large growers out in the Spanish countryside. There are also some clubs that get their marijuana from the guys that sell it down on the beach.
Where the club acquires its cannabis may not matter to you, but it definitely does to me. After all, if I wanted street marijuana, I'd just go get it from the street guys directly and at a much better price.
6.) Not All of Barcelona's Smoking Clubs are Created Equal
The differences from one club to the next are astounding. There are huge clubs that span three floors of a major building, and there's clubs that are nothing more than one small room with a couple of cheap chairs. There are clubs that are located in dark basements, and clubs that are in bright new spaces. Some are themed, some are not. Some are fancy, some are dingy.
Whatever type of environment you're looking for, chances are that you can find it at a cannabis club in Barcelona. In fact, there's even a gay cannabis club in the city called Berry Boi, but I've never been able to get much information on it.
What I've found is that most people who are regulars at Barcelona's cannabis clubs have memberships to multiple clubs – usually at least 5 or 6 – and frequent them all for different reasons.
7.) Most Cannabis Clubs Charge a Yearly Membership Fee
You'll pay your fair share for the effort required to grow your marijuana and house you in a number of ways. First, nearly every club requires a yearly membership fee. This is generally 20-35 Euro, but can be as low as 10 Euro and as high as 100 Euro. Some clubs give membership away for free, but this is rare and often comes at a price – poor service, cruddy environment, terrible weed, etc.
It is not appropriate to negotiate or attempt to have the fee waived. We are all members, we all need to support each other and these small fees are how we pull together to do this. You'll also contribute a set amount per gram for different marijuana strains and hash, and for any other products or services offered by the club.
Additionally, you may want to bring a friend or family member with you to the club who doesn't smoke, but still wants to see what it's like. This is completely acceptable, but this person must still register for membership to be able to enter the club, in keeping with the private nature of the clubs which is necessary for their existence.
8.) There are Legal Limits to How Much Marijuana you Can Acquire
This is important; there are limits to how much weed you can purchase per month in Spain. I believe the limits are something like 98 grams, which means that if you're getting lots of weed at multiple clubs, you could be subject to investigation. Probably not, but you should know this. When you register at a cannabis club, you will be provided with information about what the limits are, and you'll sign a form stating you've read this information.
You'll be asked on the forms how many grams per week you will acquire from the club. This is not a commitment; it is merely an estimate so you are not required to collect this amount each week, and clubs will only allow you to acquire 5 grams per day maximum. I usually write that I'll acquire around 8-10 grams per week or up to 40 per month, and for me that's probably pretty accurate unless I'm doing a lot of entertaining that month.
By filling out this form, you are authorizing the club to grow X grams of marijuana on your behalf. This protects the club in the event that its cultivation operations are investigated.
9.) Cannabis Clubs in Spain Cannot Advertise Publicly
Because Spain's cannabis clubs are private, members-only organizations, they cannot publicly advertise. This may be why so few people are aware of what's really going on in Barcelona, how prevalent the cannabis clubs are, and that membership is available even to foreigners. In fact, as of a recent ruling in Catalonia's parliament in early 2015, there are no residency requirements to join a cannabis club.
If you see that a club is advertising publicly, such as someone handing out fliers or other literature or advertisements on the street, then you probably should not go to that particular club. After all, doing business with a cannabis club that's breaking the rules is self-defeating when lawmakers in Barcelona and Spain overall still haven't really made their minds up about cannabis clubs just yet.
If you are approached by someone on the street who wants you to join a cannabis club, you should take extreme caution as this is probably not legitimate. Professional clubs do not send promoters out into the streets to recruit new members – they don't need to and it's against the law anyway. I know some shady characters who promote clubs on Las Ramblas and the popular plazas nearby, and they're not exactly people you want to get involved with. Beware.
10.) Regulations for Cannabis Clubs in Barcelona are on the Way
There are close to 200 cannabis clubs in Barcelona, and they've all been operating under what are often confusing statutes and grey areas that make it difficult to be certain that they're doing the right thing. Thankfully, legislators have been hard at work developing a set of standards that Barcelona's cannabis clubs can be held to. Some of these standards are being put into effect now, while others have been reserved for systematic implementation.
This means that we can expect at least some changes to the way cannabis clubs operate in the coming months, so it's important to stay abreast of these changes in case any of them present risk or potential problems for you, whether you're a Catalonian or not.
UPDATE: A lot has happened in the last couple of years. Catalonia passed a referendum to regulate the cannabis clubs, thanks to the La Rosa Verde petition, but then in 2017 the region lost its autonomy after a failed bid for independence. Now, the federal government of Spain has stepped in, applying Constitutional law, which protects and allows cannabis clubs to exist without the need for specific regulation…at least for now[January 2018 and beyond]. For more information about this, please review the materials at the following link:
Acquiring Membership at a Cannabis Club in Barcelona is Relatively Simple
There seems to be a lot of mystery about Barcelona's smoking establishments, but the reality is that in most cases, membership opportunities are abundant. So how exactly does one go about getting a membership at a Barcelona cannabis club? If you know someone who is already a member of a club, you can simply ask them to sponsor you. If you don't know anyone, then you're more than welcome to strike up a dialogue with me in the comments below, in the comments on this post about my first experience at a club in BCN, or by using the site's contact form.

Sari is a very special type of dress or garment which is worn mostly in parts of Asia and mostly in India. This type of dress is usually worn by wrapping it around the waist. There are many other ways also to wear this dress. This type of dress is basically unstitched and that is where its grace and specialty lies. Without going into further details of what sari is, let's talk about the specific kind of sari. Gadwal Sarees are very popular these days because of their elegance and grace. This type of sarees is produced in Andra Pradesh which is a state of India. The name of these sarees is originated from Gadwal which is a city in Andra Pradesh. This is basically the hub of such sarees. So, what is so special about this type of sarees? Basically, the specialty of Gadwal Sarees is the extraordinary work on borders or pallus. The fabric which is used is mostly silk or cotton or it could be mix as well. The work which is done on Gadwal Sarees is genuinely hand-woven. The most bizarre and specialty of sari dress is that there is no particularly one way to wear it. There is a lot of margin for your creativity. Even If you want to stick to the norms, you could find many ways to war a sari.
Traditionally, Gadwal sarees were made with a very special type of technique. Many people believe that banaras influence is evident in Gadwal sarees designs. Another specialty is the traditional and cultural value of these sarees. They are mostly worn on religious occasions and sometimes on festivals as well. This type of sarees is not particularly popular with only elite class rather common women or house wives if you will also wear Gadwal sarees on special occasions. There has been developments and evolution in the design of these sarees with the period of time. Due to this development, some really nice and elegant designs have emerged. Sico Sari is one of the best examples in this context. The fabric involved in this type of sari is fifty percent cotton and fifty percent silk. This sari has gained a lot of attraction and is very popular these days and the demand is continuously increasing. Such sarees are also a perfect dress for a wedding ceremony. As mentioned earlier that there are lots of different ways to wear a sari however; the best and the most popular way to wear Gadwal Sarees is to wear in South Indian way. That would be the most elegant and graceful way to wear Gadwal Sarees but do not consider this as a hindrance to your creativity. You could still do that if you want and have complete faith in your creative abilities. Another important thing to mention is the availability of designs and colors in Gadwal Sarees. There are plenty for you to choose and to become unique. Browse those designs and shop these sarees if you have not already had it.

Forrest is in negotiations with the Australian Rugby Union (ARU) to ensure players who compete in his competition will also be eligible to play Super Rugby and represent the Wallabies.
The billionaire's actions come after his beloved Western Force were cut from Super Rugby.
Forrest hopes to have six teams in the competition, which is expected to start early next August.
He said it would be in the ARU's best interests to allow Wallabies players to feature in the new competition as well as Super Rugby.
Late last month, Forrest called on Cameron Clyne to resign over the ARU chairman's decision to axe the Force.
But the pair had since made up, and Forrest said his discussions with the ARU about the new Indo Pacific competition had been positive.
"There's been a fair bit of water under the bridge with Cameron and I," Forrest said.
"We had a frank and friendly discussion when he was here recently.
"We were cast as adversaries. We did not agree with the cancelling of this magnificent team (Western Force).
"In that adversarial form, we did have to go a little toe to toe.
"But now with the Western Force becoming an international team ... there should be nothing but collaboration on behalf of Australian rugby."
The ARU confirmed it was in discussions with Forrest and his Minderoo team.
"ARU is involved in collaborative discussions with Andrew Forrest and his Minderoo team and we look forward to continuing these discussions over the coming weeks," Clyne said on Wednesday in a statement.
"We do not wish to comment on the specifics of any proposed new competitions while these discussions are at a preliminary stage.
"ARU remains committed to maintaining a strong rugby presence in Western Australia and will explore all options in this regard."

Noxious Weeds
A noxious weed is a non-native plant that has been introduced, accidently or intentionally, into an environment and causes or is likely to cause environmental or economic harm.
We all depend on the existence of healthy ecosystems. Wyoming is noted for its abundant wildlife, clean water and diverse and largely undeveloped natural landscapes, the natural vegetation communities that evolved here are the basic fabric that holds the ecosystem together. Left unchecked, many noxious weeds have the potential to transform entire ecosystems as native species and those that depend on them for food, shelter and habitat, disappear.
So, you ask... Why should I care?
- Noxious weeds are gaining a foothold on almost all private and public lands in Wyoming
- Left unchecked, they will limit many uses on lands now and for future generations
- Noxious weed species negatively alter water systems, wildlife habitat, agriculture, and recreation areas forever
- The longer we ignore the problem, the more expensive it will be to manage and eradication becomes less and less likely
"Of all the questions which can come before this nation, short of the actual preservation of its existence in a great war, there is none which compares in importance with the great central task of leaving this land even a better land for our descendants than it is for us".
– Theodore Roosevelt (1910)

The Black Swan actress, 28, spent Independence Day with rumored boyfriend Ashton Kutcher.
Get the scoop on their PDA-fest:
In some grainy pictures that hit the web, you can see Kunis and Kutcher, 34, kiss and cuddle at a pool party in Los Angeles. This isn't the first time the duo were caught canoodling recently. Over the weekend, the former That 70's Show costars also had an affectionate lunch in West Hollywood.
Speaking out about the Kutcher romance rumors, Kunis previously told Glamour "ninety-nine percent of it is bulls–t." Wonder if that number has changed in recent weeks.
Kunis has been hard at work when she hasn't been hanging out with the Two and a Half Men star.
The actress had to put on some weight for her new film Blood Ties. Learn more about that in the video below:

Although Troncones may be known internationally for it's surfing, there's plenty of other activities as well; Eco tours, horseback riding, boogie boarding or body boarding (anyone can learn in 5 minutes), biking, a skateboard park and many local restaurants offering fresh seafood, local and international cuisine. The beach is shallow, so 50 yards out and the water is waist high.
Just across the street from us is Roberto's Bistro, who offers the perfect place to enjoy a cold cervaza on the beach in the afternoon and the best dining in Troncones in the evening. It's here where the baby turtles are released and race to the sea almost every evening at dusk. If there's not enough to keep you busy here, Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo are just 20 minutes away where there are two golf courses, fishing charters, shopping, an aquatic park with water slides, museum, , parasailing, scuba diving & snorkeling tours, sunset cruises and you can even swim with dolphins.
And that is probably the reason you've chosen to stay in Troncones - to get away from all that. Here it's possible to walk down the beach for an hour and not see another person.
The property is right across the street from probably the best part of the beach in Troncones.
We supply body boards and bicycles to share with our guests.
If you've never heard of Troncones, please spend a few minutes to look it up if you're looking for a vacation at an incredible location.
We are a Canadian couple. When we came to Troncones for the first time in 2011 we fell in love with the place. We came as often as possible and later we bought Casa Canela. Lyn has been living in Mexico since 2003 while Dave is commuting between Troncones and Canada.
David Watson & Lyn Gilstrap purchased this cottage in 2014
Casa Canela offers you a level of privacy that few properties are able to offer. It is located along the south end of the beach road which is more residential and tranquil. In Casa Canela, a large area of the property is all yours yet sitting on the front porch you can watch the world and feel apart of a wonderful and beautiful place.
We are one of the lowest priced vacation rentals in Troncones without skimping on the comforts. Casa Canela and the Canelitas are on a large property that give our guests a feeling of quiet solitude. We are across the road from arguably the best stretch of beach in Troncones for swimming, body boarding and playing in the sand. We have chaise loungers on the beach for our guests and
we provide all our guests with a small cooler, beach umbrella & mats to really enjoy your beach time. We also have boogie boards and bicycles for your use, free of charge.
This being our first experience with VRBO, we can,t tell you enough how impressed we were with our vacation. We spent 9 full days at Casa Canela, and enjoyed ourselves emencly, Our hostess Lyn was extremely accommodating and friendly, the house was clean and just as expected according to the pictures on the site. We were a two minute walk to a very beautiful and quiet beach, where we had our own loungers and umbrellas to relax in ever day. The best parts of the house were it's private sitting areas. Which we took advantage of daily, very cool and pretty. The town of Troncones had fantastic restaurants, and the locals were friendly, helpful and fun. The best part of our trip were the daily visits to the fish truck for fresh seafood and the produce truck that came by daily with fresh vegetables and fruit. This being our first vacation outside of a resort, we had so much fun, we really feel we can,t go back to an all inclusive. Thank you Lyn for such a positive experience, it was a terrific relaxing holiday. Hope to come back soon, Courtney and Al
I had a great time super close to the beach and everything. Lyn was terrific. I'll be back for sure
This place is a small paradise. Very private and peaceful. Me, my wife, and our two sons (ages 2 and 4) stayed in the Frida room. My in-laws stayed at the Duke. It really is a fascinating place. Lyn and Dave (the owners) are very friendly. Couldn't ask for a better place to stay at in Troncones. The beach was only a two minute walk, and Casa Canela has their own beach umbrellas and chairs and cooler for water/beer; that's a big plus since the little ones needed shade every 30 minutes or so. We were able to see the turtles get released at night; my boys really enjoyed that. The rooms were as described, very comfy and relax. My wife and in-laws were surprised of how amazing the stay was. We will definitely be back next year.
My husband and I stayed in "The Duke" for a week in February and loved every minute of it. Casa Canela exceeded our expectations and was exactly what we were looking for during our first visit to beautiful Troncones. Our accommodations were comfortable and clean with many pleasant amenities. We enjoyed relaxing on the covered patio while admiring the well kept grounds and watching and listening to the birds. Lyn was very responsive to all of our questions prior to our arrival and during our stay. She had great recommendations for us that we would not have known about without her assistance. Her staff (Lolita and David) were amazing and did a great job to make us feel like we were at home. Casa Canela has a great location and is just steps away from the beach and within walking distance of many restaurants. We are so happy to have found this ideal spot and look forward to our next visit.
My friend Candy and I drove to Casa Canela to visit Lyn and her friend who was visiting also - so it was a
chick week. We had pedicures, massages, great dinners out at wonderful restaurants nearby, body boarding
in the surf. The property is excellent - just my type of place (very safe and clean) and Lyn is the ultimate
hostess with the mostest. Very relaxing and very comfortable - absolutely no pressure - a super get away.
Over the years I have stayed at many places at Trancones Beach, but Casa Canela is the best of all of them.!!
Thank you Lyn and David - Sincerely and I mean Sincerely - Martha Blenkhorn
Lovely spot! Close to the best beach, not too busy. I can hardly wait Til next time
You won't find any all-inclusive resorts in Troncones. And there are no shopping malls, casinos or dance clubs either. There's not even a traffic light here. What you will find is a quiet seaside village along a 7 km. stretch of beautiful unspoiled beach. . If water sports is your thing we have everything from world class surfing to snorkeling and everything in-between. We provide our guests at no charge, boogie boards, enjoyable at any age, to get out their and have fun in the waves. The Turtle Sanctuary is located on the beach directly across the street from Casa Canela. Turtles are released almost nightly at dusk. You can get lucky and even see baby turtles run right by you anywhere on the beach if you're there watching the sun set! Closer to midnight you may come across the mothers laying their eggs although we ask you not to approach them. Troncones is a birders paradise. One does not even have to leave the front porch but, there is a lagoon about 15 minutes away where the river meets the sea. It's home to hundreds of birds and surrounded by palm trees with the Sierra Madre mountains providing the perfect back drop. There is a skateboard park in the village. Diving, snorkelling and kayak trips can be arranged as well as surf lessons. Have a masseuse come to you for therapeutic massages that are heavenly. Manicures and pedicures can also be arranged for you along with a massage on your front porch. One can have a lot of fun discovering Troncones by bicycle including the nearby fishing village of Mahajua - a real treat. We provide out guests with bicycles free of charge. Troncones now has a wonderful walking and mountain bike trail meandering through magnificent old trees and vistas. With very little elevation these trails are enjoyable for all age groups. There is usually plenty of dry driftwood here to build a bonfire on the beach to enjoy in the evening.
Troncones is a small village of about 500 people but, there are several small stores (tiendas) which offer all the basics. Seafood and Meat are available through local vendors. Most of the year, a fruit and vegetable truck makes it's way up and down Beach Road every other day with fresh local fruit and veggies - the strawberries can be amazing. On Fridays a visit to the local organic market is a must-do for locally grown produce along with a variety of eco-friendly and interesting goods. For a small town, Troncones has a surprising number of excellent restaurants, some of which offer live music and dancing various nights of the week.There are a few permanently located venders and very few beach vendors selling locally made art, hammocks, hand painted bowls, etc.. If you're looking for unique souvenirs or collectables there are also shops in town, so whatever you may be looking for ask us, we'd be happy to direct you to what can be found in town. If it's a big shopping spree that you're after, you may want to take a trip into Zihuatanejo which has a large a souvenir district offering jewelry and hand crafted local art. Zihua offers everything you'd want from a busy resort town and only 20 minutes away. If you're planning to eat at home a lot, then a trip into Zihua can be done for groceries as there are two huge food stores there. Please let us know what your needs may be and we will do our best to see what we can arrange before your arrival.

Life Insurance if you have a pre-existing health condition
Individuals with long term health problems are considered, along with smokers and purveyors of dangerous sports, to be a higher risk from an insurance perspective than the average citizen. This will normally translate into higher premiums.There are different degrees of diabetes but for those on insulin diabetes does increase the risk of an individual suffering further health problems, such as cardiovascular disease. This will be a factor that life insurance providers will consider when setting premiums.There are two types of life insurance available:Term assurance provides cover for a contracted period of time. If the policyholder does not die within that time they receive no cover. Whole life insurance policies will cover a person for their entire life but usually mean higher premiumsThe most popular form of life insurance is term assurance because it can be personalised along the lines of:
The main benefits of life insurance for diabetics will be the same as for anyone else mainly that it can be used to either:

Under a branch of the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services, The Corps makes it possible for selected individuals to get student loans paid back while also earning an income. The "Most Spirit" prize arrived in the form of additional financial reimbursement toward such loan obligations.
A veteran of over four years with CHC, Mix makes good use of the Spanish she learned in school. She helps an average of 22 patients daily. Her appreciation for opportunities to alleviate pain and illness, especially among persons who wouldn't otherwise receive medical care, shines through. "A few months ago I applied for and became an Ambassador of the NHSC," she said. "Ambassadors promote the Corps' cause–to provide medical care to the underserved."
White City CHC is one of two area sites served by NHSC because of location, the economy and number of uninsured residents. The second, according to CHC's Marketing Director, Karen Elliott, is La Clinica.
Mix emphasized that CHC tries to help anyone. "We do accept all valid insurance plans; we take payments. On a sliding scale, we serve those who can't get medical care elsewhere."
In her winning essay, Mix wrote, "…I was inspired to see the glass, not empty and broken, as some would suggest, but potentially overflowing." She elaborated on the financial struggles her family had endured under economic downturns, shrinking income, and increasing debt. "I will always remember the day my husband called me at work to tell me the letter had arrived. I held my breath as he opened it. I remember screaming into the phone, and crying the day I found out I qualified for the loan repayment."
Mix now also recalls the same joyful tears she sees on the faces of patients. They're often the ones who learn they qualify for medical attention, even though other plans and programs had denied them. "Our work can make a difference," she continues.
"One by one we can serve people who…have given up hope. …We can say with confidence, 'Yes, there is help.'"

We did manage to hang around for a while and check things out. We got a pitcher of Warsteiner Premium which is a pretty good German beer and we also got a huge pretzel. There was tons of music and dancing going on as well and they even had amusement park type rides. I've always been a little skeptical about the types of rides that they set up and take down in only a few hours. Is this really safe?
Before Oktoberfest yesterday, we headed down to Riverside and did a 9 mile run. The weather was great and we ran on a path that we hadn't run before. We've come to realize that there are way more trails than we ever thought. As we start training for our marathon, it'll be a great place to do our long runs.
The Sooners had a great showing yesterday and I think we are finally moving in the right direction. Even without our starting quarterback, tight end, and running back, we managed to beat a ranked team at home.
Today we slept in a just relaxed for a little while before heading to the grocery store for our weekly shopping. We've started taking in other stores ads tot Wal-Mart and having them match the price. Up until last week we had never done that before, but it's easy to do and a great way to save money and keep yourself from driving all over town to get the best deals.
After the store we went to the mall for a while and then headed home to watch some football and carve our pumpkin. Right now Beth is in the process of making Apple Sauce Meatballs for dinner and I can't wait. She's made them once before and they were great. Supposedly it's a Lewis family favorite(especially for Mr. Dale).
Here are some pics of Beth making the famous apple sauce meatballs:
On a side note, Stacy played great in her first tournament in Asia. She finished in 7th place at 3 under par. Next week she heads to Korea for her next tournament. I'd give a link for the results but it's all in Japanese so it'd be kind of pointless. Below are a few pics of Stacy in Japan.

Happy Friday, and thanks so much for visiting!
Ellie here today, it's my turn to share something with you. I hope you like it. It has been some time since I used my dylusions inks, so I decided it was time to get inky again for today's project :-)
All stamps are by Just For fun, I also used a dotted stencil. Besides dylusions inks I also used distress inks, as the green that I have was too bright (like on the top portion of the card), so I inked the edges a little bit with an earthier shade of green (peeled paint).

Hope you enjoy your weekend!!


text: Trendygamers: My original plan for this review was to mimic the very first puzzle you encounter in Professor Layton and the Last Specter. I was going to put a hidden message in the first letter of each row and have it say something really clever. Well, after playing Professor Layton for hours upon hours, my head hurts and I just couldn't bring myself to do it. So, if you happen to find a hidden message, it is completely by accident and hopefully it doesn't say anything too vulgar.

2015 Winners' Gallery
Welcome to the gallery of the 2015 winning images. We hope you enjoy them.
Travel Photographer of the Year is proud to showcase another great set of images, as the 2015 winners add fresh perspectives on our world through the eyes of talented amateur, semi-professional and professional photographers.
The winning images from Travel Photographer of the Year 2015 are displayed below and will be exhibited at the Museum of London Docklands in London next summer (2016). For details of our other exhibitions please visit the touring exhibitions page.
As always we would ask you to bear in mind that some of the best images do not look as good when shown as low res thumbnails. To see them in all their glory, come along to our exhibitions. But for now, to view any of the thumbnails as larger images, please click that image to open the slideshow.
Travel Photographer of the Year 2015
WINNER —Marsel van Oosten, Netherlands
Marsel van Oosten is a professional nature photographer from The Netherlands. His images are best known for his graphic approach to composition, the direct result of his previous career as an art director in advertising. In his work he tries to simplify, to get rid of the extraneous: Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.
His images are featured in galleries and museums, and he is a regular contributor for National Geographic magazine. In addition to winning the overall title International Nature Photographer of the Year in the IPA two times in a row, his awards include First Prizes in the European Wildlife Photographer of the Year, the Travel Photographer of the Year, and the Wildlife Photographer of the Year.
Together with his wife Daniella he runs Squiver, a company that organizes specialized wildlife and landscape photography tours and workshops for small groups of all experience levels to spectacular locations worldwide.
What the judges thought....
These two portfolios require very different skills to shoot but both are elegant, beautifully composed and show wonderful use of light. The first portfolio of the cypress trees in the Atchafalaya Basin, Louisiana, USA, is subtle and textural contrasting with the strong, punchy, graphic style of the portfolio of great white pelicans, shot on a boat in the Atlantic Ocean near Walvis Bay, Namibia. The detail in both portfolios enhances the images and the contrasting styles.
Young Travel Photographer of the Year 2015
WINNER — Chase Guttman, USA (age 18)
Despite being young and in the early days of his photographic career, Chase Guttman was named a 3 Best Travel Photography Blogger by USA Today, a Top Travel Photographer by the New York Institute of Photography and a Rising Star by Instagram. He was first spotted by TPOTY back in 2010 in the 14 & under age group, then agaiin 2012 when, at the age of 15, he won the Emerging Talent award. Chase has already travelled to every U.S. state and over 50 other countries. He has lectured at the George Eastman House International Museum of Photography and Film. All of which is particularly impressive given that he is still only 18!
What the judges thought....
Chase's portfolio tells a story of the Basuto people in Semonkong, Lesotho, giving glimpses into their life and the landscape which surrounds them. The portfolio is well constructed and paced, with the blue tones linking the people to the place.
Young Travel Photographer - 15 to 18 years old - TRAVELS WITH MY CAMERA
Winner — Spencer Cox, USA (age 18)
Photography has taken Spencer Cox to some of the most beautiful places in the world, from Yosemite to Iceland, and he has seen some of nature's grandest landscapes and tiniest details along the way. He has been an avid hiker and sunrise-chaser all his life, and his favorite food is freeze-dried soup — not at all because of the taste, but because of the memories it conjures.
He takes his travel photography inspiration from the black-and-white film masters — photographers such as Bruce Barnbaum and Fan Ho. He started photography at the age of fifteen, and plans to continue for the rest of his life. He is currently studying engineering at Northwestern University in Chicago, and he knows that photography will always be his passion.
What the judges thought....
It is not easy to capture the essence of such a monotonal place on a grey and stormy day, but Spencer's images of the Jökulsárlón Glacier Lagoon, Stokksnes Mountains and Höfn in Iceland have done just that with moody and dynamic compositions.
Young Travel Photographer - 14 years old & under - TRAVELS WITH MY CAMERA
Winner — Michael Theodric, Indonesia (age 13)
A pupil at Junior High at Sekolah Dian Harapan Lippo Karawaci, Indonesia, Michael Theodric began seriously taking photographs when he acquired a DSLR at the young age of 8. His favourite photographers include Ansel Adams, Henri Cartier Bresson, and Reza Deghati. Michael first came to the attention of the TPOTY judges when he won the Young TPOTY 14 and under category in 2012, aged just 10 years old. He was a finalist in this category again in 2013, and returned in 2014 to take the top prize one more. And now he has done it again! It is no surprise that he plans a career as a professional photographer!
What the judges thought....
Michael is an extremely talented photographer despite the fact that he is still only 13 years old. This is his third win in this age group and the second year in a row that he's won this award. Perhaps most remarkably, each of his winning portfolios have been completely different and when the judges found out that these were his pictures, after choosing them as the winner, they were astounded at the diversity exhibited by such a young talent. This portfolio of the Hungry Ghost Festival in his native Indonesia is by far his grittiest to date and the reportage style incorporating dramatic lighting and movement is impressive. The judges would like to also extend their praise to the runner up, Victor Ghose (images below), for such a clever entry - shot in Lunenburg and Baddeck, Nova Scotia, Canada - from someone so young.
Judges' Special Mentions
The judges don't usually give special mentions except when choosing their favourites in the three portfolio categories. However, this year they felt that two young photographers merited a mention - Hugo Berman for his portfolio of accomplished portraits in the 14 & under age group, and an individual image by Ido Scharf in the 15-18 age group.
Mitchell Kanashkevich is a tirelessly curious world wanderer and a travel/documentary photographer. His main passion lies in capturing disappearing ancient cultures and the human condition in unique, challenging situations. His range of subjects is fairly broad, but whether he is photographing nomadic shepherds in India, life in the last traditional villages of Eastern Europe or sulfur miners working in a volcanic crater, his common aim is always the same - to capture the human element.
What the judges thought....
These images link cleverly to tell an intimate story of life in Maramures, Romania. The images have a subtle, textural almost painterly quality. We can't wait to see these printed large in the exhibition!
Best Single Image in a Portfolio - FACES, PEOPLE, ENCOUNTERS
Winner — Timothy Allen, UK
Special Mention — Ly Hoang Long, Vietnam
Special Mention — Rafal Ziejewski, Poland
Special Mention — Alisson Jonas Cardoso Gontijo, Brazil
Special Mention — Gary Pullar, Australia
Special Mention — Gianluca de Bartolo, Italy
Special Mention — Beniamino Pisati, Italy
James Morgan is a multi award-winning film director and photojournalist.
His in-depth photographic features have appeared in National Geographic, The Guardian, BBC, Sunday Times and many others. His images regularly lead campaigns for the World Wildlife Fund and USAID and are published and exhibited around the world.
James' film work spans features, documentaries, commercials and music videos with clients ranging from Sony and Adidas to Vice and Mercedes Benz. Having worked in over 60 countries, James is comfortable in any environment and can speak English, Malaysian, Spanish, Indonesian and Icelandic.
What the judges thought....
It's unusual for a human story to win a Nature & Environment category but the judges felt that James's portfolio on wolf hunters in Yakutia, Russia captures a very powerful interaction between man and nature. Striking, brutal and graphic as it is, it is also intimate and captivating.
Best Single Image in a Portfolio - NATURE & ENVIRONMENT
Winner — Alessandra Meniconzi, Switzerland
Special Mention — Terry Steeley, UK
Special Mention — Brigitta Moser, Austria
Special Mention — Anette Mossbacher, Germany
Special Mention — Georg Popp, Austria
Xia Xuejun is an amateur photographer, who makes a living through his property portfolio. He only took up photography in 2012, and would like to turn professional.
What the judges thought....
Although boat towing is no longer a necessity, it was once a way of life and the only way to negotiate this section of rapids in Hubei, China. Xia has captured the process with humour in a striking portfolio of strongly composed images which are all that much stronger for being shot in black and white.
Best Single Image in a Portfolio - MONOCHROMAL
Winner — Scott Portelli, Australia
Winner — Timothy Allen, UK
Special Mention — Stuart Redler, UK
Special Mention — Scott Portelli, Australia
Special Mention — Alessandra Meniconzi, Switzerland
Special Mention — Thierry Bornier, France
One Shot - A MOMENT IN LIGHT
Winner — Uli Kunz, Germany
Uli Kunz is a marine biologist and scientific diver, based in Kiel, Northern Germany. He says that it is difficult to tell whether he is a semi-professional or professional photographer, as he usually combines his activities, joining expeditions as a scientist but also as a photographer and cameraman. As an experienced diver, his passion lies in the world under water, regardless of the temperature and visibility. He has been diving in giant limestone caves and with the largest fish on the planet in crystal clear water, but also collected tiny nudibranchs on muddy sediments. In his lectures and shows he takes the audience into a beautiful, albeit threatened world, which is rarely visited by humans.
What the judges thought....
This wonderful image, shot in Heligoland, certainly fulfills the brief of a moment in light! Powerful, dynamic, graphic and cleverly conceived. A worthy and unusual judges' favourite.
Runner Up — David Wrangborg, Sweden
Highly Commended — Tim Taylor, UK
Commended — Gunar Streu, Germany
Commended — Cai Zhiping, China
One Shot - COLOURS OF THE WORLD
Winner — Larry Louie, Canada
In his optometry clinic, he is Dr. Larry Louie, a local optometrist working to enhance the vision of people from all walks of life. On his travels, he is a humanitarian documentary photographer, exploring the lives of remote indigenous people, and documenting social issues around the world. Dr. Louie has been using his photography as a platform to highlight the work of different charities around the world, along with social issues and challenges people are encountering in a world facing rapid urbanization and globalization. His award-winning photographs have appeared in the Asian Photography Magazine, Digital Camera Magazine, British Journal of Photography, B&W Magazine, National Geographic and National Geographic Traveler Magazine. His work has also been exhibited around the world: the Royal Geographical Society of London, UK, the Circle of Fine Art in Madrid, Spain, the Center of Photography in Charleston, South Carolina, the Pendulum Gallery in Vancouver, Canada and the Royal Alberta Museum in Edmonton, Canada.
What the judges thought....
Prayer flags are much photographed but rarely as well as these. The image is moody with both weather-worn pastel tones and movement giving a real sense of place in the Tibetan Tagong grasslands.
Runner Up — Piers Golden, UK
Highly Commended — Ignacio Palacios, Spain/Australia
Commended — Maria de la Guardia, USA
Commended — Zhou Jianyong, China
One Shot - WATER
Winner — Jasper Doest, Netherlands
To Jasper Doest, photography is about emotion. Whether it's a travel documentary, a conservation story or a standalone piece of art: it must be an expressive image, an image that touches its viewers.
As a fellow of the International League of Conservation Photographers (iLCP), his photographs have received multiple awards and have appeared in numerous international journals and books, including National Geographic Magazine and BBC Wildlife Magazine.
Jasper's images depict what is beautiful around him, around us, and with his photographs he is able to reveal how fragile this beauty is. One split second can tell his story, that single moment in which he freezes nature but brings it to life more than ever before
What the judges thought....
This image of water sprayed over municipal waste in Marchena, Andalusia, Spain, transforms the groteque excesses of man into a beautiful image of nature and light.
Runner Up — Stephan Fürnrohr, Germany
Highly Commended — Wade Hughes, Australia
Commended — Joel Santos, Portugal
A doctor by profession, Zhu Jingyi became interested in photography almost by accident, and began taking landscape images. More recently his interest has turned towards documentary. "I will continue to record people's lives, to love life and to love photography."
What the judges thought....
Zhu's intimate and engaging portfolio of life in Jiangsu, China, shows us the real people in their places of work. The expressions and the splashes of colour really make the portfolio stand out and come alive.
Smart Shot - iCAPTURED
Winner — Edgard de Bono, Italy
Edgard De Bono is an Italian travel/documentary photographer who first discovered photography at the age of 20. As an avid traveller he has always been drawn to different cultures and ways of life. Since the beginning, the human condition has been the main subject of his photography.
What the judges thought....
A strikingly composed image which give a real sense of the photographer as an observer of what's happening in the world around us - the essence of good smart phone or tablet photography.
Runner Up — Junjie Zeng, China
Highly Commended — Frederic Fouchet, France
Commended — Timothy Allen, UK
Commended — Pamelyn Chee, Singapore
HD Video - TRAVEL SHORTS (click thumbnail to view)
Highly Commended — Lorne Resnick, Canada
Commended — Olivia Rutherford, UK
Commended — Wibke Helfrich, Germany
No winner was awarded in the HD Video category this year as the judges felt that, although some good entries were received, none of them attained the overall standard achieved in previous years. However the judges agreed that the videos above merited commendation.

We would like to thank all the many photographers who entered TPOTY 2015. Once again the standard has been very high and it has been a joy to look through and judge all the submissions from talented photographers around the world.

Meredith Vieira reveals #WhySheStayed
Meredith Vieira has had a lot of jobs and she is always working hard to relate to her guests. But as she reported on the NFL domestic violence controversy, no one seemed to know how personal the topic was to her.
Girl Crush: Meredith Vieira sounds off on feminism, her new show and more >>
On Wednesday, Sept. 17, Vieira will open up on her new show about her past experience with domestic violence.
"Every nine seconds, a woman is abused or assaulted in this country," Vieira will say on Wednesday's show (which was filmed Tuesday), according to People. "Every nine seconds this is going on.
"This Twitter trend that's happening now — #WhyIStayed and #WhyILeft. It's a campaign of confessions of women who have experienced domestic violence, and what you realize when you read these tweets is that it's a very, very complicated issue."
But Vieira goes further and reveals that she understands the trending topic, more than anyone knew.
"I was in an abusive relationship many, many years ago as a young woman," she explained. "I want to explain to you why I stayed.
"It started out, I loved this guy. It started out, we'd have a fight and he'd just sort of grab my arm. I didn't think a lot about it, and then it turned into pushing me into a wall and then it went beyond that, to [his] actually taking his hand and grabbing my face and saying, 'I could ruin your career if I wanted to and no one would watch you.'"
Vieira wanted the audience to know that it can happen to anyone, explaining that, "I'm a smart woman," and that she was upset during the Ray Rice controversy that people kept asking why Janay Rice stayed.
She said she heard "a lot of people say, 'Well, who would stay in that situation?' Somebody who doesn't have the wherewithal to get out, the means to get out. [But] I had that. I had a job at the time, and I kept in this relationship."
Vieira explained that she has had years to ask herself why she stayed and, in the end, it was because she was afraid of him. Because "I was scared if I tried to leave something worse could happen to me."
ESPN anchor gives heartbreaking perspective on Ray Rice incident (VIDEO) >>
The talk show host went on to explain further about her abuse and what kept her there. You can watch the full interview on her show when it airs on Wednesday, Sept. 17. But she wanted to end the segment by hoping to inspire change.
"If you are going through this, get yourself to a shelter, by all means tell somebody what's going on, let somebody know. That's just my experience with it, and I know it's rampant in this country, and we all have to accept the fact that it's not just an issue with the NFL — it's an issue with all of our lives, and until we take it seriously, more and more women are going to get abused."

At North Atlantic, we're committed to community programs in areas where we know we can make a difference. Our employees wholeheartedly believe in giving back. As volunteers, they play a huge part in each of our fundraising efforts, including our annual charity golf tournament for Special Olympics NL and the Easter Seals Paper Egg Campaign.
We strive to find ways to help wherever we can, including engaging our customers. Whenever you pump up your tires at one our conveniently located air-filling stations, we donate your loonie to Special Olympics NL. Together with our annual charity golf tournament, we've raised more than $400,000 for Special Olympics over that last 14 years.
One of our best on-going fundraisers is our Big Bucks 50/50 Draw in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters NL. Customers can enter the weekly draw at select North Atlantic and Orangestore retail locations. The weekly proceeds support youth programs in eastern Newfoundland.
As a proud member of the local community, we're pleased to sponsor the revitalization project for Bannerman Park. We hope more families and youth will be able to enjoy the benefits of sunshine and an active lifestyle as the park continues to grow and improve.
With high employee and customer involvement at all levels, we've been able to contribute to non-profit organizations and community programs including safe grads, youth athletic programs, elementary and high school fundraisers, animal welfare efforts, local churches and community groups.
Each year we receive hundreds of donations and sponsorship requests from groups, communities and organizations all across Newfoundland and Labrador. Our community giving philosophy is focused on youth, learning and health because investing in future generations is a return that can't be measured.

Requests for financial or in-kind support are evaluated based on the quality of the proposed program and its service and value to the community. Our dedicated Community Giving Team reviews and responds to requests during the last week of each month.
Please note that our generous community giving does not contribute financially to minor sporting events, travel, conventions/conferences, or individual's causes.
