In this digital age physical books may seem a tad outdated. Yet, traditional books are still a wonderful way to invite a child into the world of reading and imagination. There is a lot to be said for the tactile satisfaction books provide. Kids who read physical book are not only getting mental stimulation, they are exploring worlds, cultures, adventures and traditions far beyond their own front door.
Throughout the years scientists have been studying the effects of digital reading compared to traditional reading. Some of the findings have proven to be interesting; for example it seems as though paper books nurture empathy in readers of fiction to a greater degree than those who read digital books. Comprehension of the stories is better as well because digital devices offer distractions which regular books do not have.
Then there are the physical reasons for choosing paper over pixels. Bedtime stories on a Kindle can actually keep your little one more awake because of the bright glare of the light going directly in the eyes. On the other hand, paper books reflect back a softer light allowing the brain to shift into sleepy-time.
Regardless of the scientific reasons for choosing paper books for children's gifts, there's the other more intimate reason of creating special memories together. It's hard to imagine that special child grown, fondly holding an old iPad to her heart remembering evenings traipsing through the woods with Pooh Bear and Piglet. But the thought of taking a well-worn book off the shelf decades after the wrapping paper and bows are tossed out and recalling the memories that volume contains in addition to the story itself, has to bring a smile to your face as well as hers in the future. And when your children become parents, are they going to hand down a hard and unemotional digital file, or a well-loved and dog-eared copy of their favorite childhood memories.
Another cool thing about books? They can be read as a solitary act, or as a family unit. One winter I read the entire Percy Jackson series to our then 10 year-old. He loved it, I loved it, and the Tv and the computer were OFF for hours on end. Good memories 🙂
As the season of giving approaches, as a parent I feel the siren song of the latest Disney XD gear or the "game of the moment" that will inevitably be on my kids' Christmas Wish Lists. BUT, I plan to also give the gift of world travel, imagination and adventure in the form of a physical book. Maybe it will be fiction, maybe it will be non-fiction. This I know for sure; it will be a reason for some family reading time and the pleasure of a gift they can open again and again.

To most travellers Dar es Salaam is merely a stopover on their way to or from the region's more popular destinations such as Zanzibar, Pemba and the safari circuits. Dar, as it is affectionately known, isn't one of Africa's most attractive cities but is a vibrant melting pot of cultures and colours and is well worth a visit if time permits.
The economic and cultural heart of Tanzania, Dar es Salaam is set in a bay facing the Indian Ocean and is bustling with restaurants, eateries, pubs, clubs and diverse shops. Explore the vibrant local markets, the museums and historical landmarks such as St. Joseph's Cathedral, the White Father's Mission House, the Botanical Gardens and the old State House; they are all interesting to visit.
Head to the harbour for a glimpse into the trading past of Dar es Salaam, this seaport has a history that stretches back more than a century; a particularly surreal site is watching traditional boats such as the dhows slip under the bows of massive, steel tankers. On the north side of the harbour look for the fish market; typically this is a vibrant, noisy and yes, maybe a bit smelly, destination. Other markets to experience include the textile and carver's market; all of them are colourful and worth visiting.
Access to this vibrant city is through Tanzania's main airport, Julius Nyerere International Airport (also known as the Dar-es-Salaam International Airport), with daily and weekly flights from most international destinations. You can choose from a range of luxury accommodation in large city hotels, boutique guest houses to sea-side retreats.
The Art House
Known as Nyumba ya Saana by locals, this palm-roofed building houses an art co-operative that supports nearly 200 young artists across a range of disciplines. Started by an American nun in 1972, this is a great place to pick up batik work, carvings, oil paintings, pottery and textiles.
Pugu Forest
One of the oldest forests in the world and today incorporated into a reserve, Pugu Hills is home to hippos, cheetahs, lions, monkeys and a variety of other animals. It has extraordinarily high levels of biodiversity particularly in terms of bird species. Keep an eye out for the large colony of bats that call the abandoned man-made caves home.
Head out of the city
Just outside of the city find Bongovo Island Marine Reserve with great snorkeling and diving sites as well as beautiful beaches, secluded islands and many varieties of marine life. This is well worth a visit and is a great way to spend a day out of the city. Other day excursions include those to the village of Gezaulolo and the medieval ruins of the trading town of Kunduchi.

Allena + Jamie
One of our favourite moments during a wedding is when we get to capture the reaction of the groom when the bride walks down the aisle. Jamie's reaction at the 1:31 mark is probably one of the most genuine and emotional reactions we have ever seen.
Another beautiful wedding by Jennifer Bergman Weddings photographed by the amazingly talented Kelly Redinger Photographer. The ceremony was at Rainer Gardens and the reception was hosted by the awesome team at The Oasis Centre – Conferencing & Events. We go to work the super fun FaBLOOMosity again who created a stunning backdrop for the ceremony.

Decorating Styles

Contemporary Style
In contemporary decorating, the key is soft clean-lined birch, maple or mid-20th century furniture and open concept living. Neat and uncluttered spaces are appropriately accessorized with just a few large and interesting pieces. Contemporary color schemes are either monochromatic or neutral with a few bold pops of color. Windows are often bare and ceilings are high. Floor and table lamps have straight lines and sleek metal finishes. Contemporary spaces are sophisticated but not ornate.
Key elements of Contemporary Style Decor:
- clean-line furniture
- open concept rooms
- birch or maple
- uncluttered
- monochromatic or bold pops of color
Where to shop for Contemporary Decor:
Cottage Style
Cottage is somewhat like the styles of Vintage, Shabby Chic and Retro. But it is very casual and charming. Furniture is often adapted for other uses – like a bench becoming a coffee table. It also tends to be beachy, accented with sea shells and sand filled jars. Cottage style is airy and light and laid back.
Key elements of Cottage Style Decor:
- very casual and charming
- furniture is repurposed
- beachy and coastal elements
- airy and light
- monochromatic or shades of blue and green
Where to shop for Cottage Decor:
- Bouclair
- Wayfair
- Etsy
- Antique Farmhouse
Country Style
Picture pine or painted antiques, quilts, baskets and folk art. Country decorating can be either simple Americana (often red, white and blue) or more decorative French country. Colors used in country decorating typically include barn red, mustard yellow, black, dark green, buttermilk or rust. Ladder-back or Windsor chairs, pie safes, tin ware and plaids and checks further depict Country decorating.
Key elements of Country Style Decor:
- pine or painted furniture
- folk art
- Americana or French country
- barn red, mustard yellow, black, dark green buttermilk, or rust
- pie safes, tinware
- plaids and checks
Where to shop for Country Decor:

Eclectic Style
Also known as authentic and original, eclectic decorating throws out all the 'rules' and let's you create something that is uniquely you. Pieces can be drawn from two or three of the other decorating styles. But beware of messy overload! Scale matters and so does color. Think of balancing yin and yang. It's best to keep the basic color palette neutral and then mix and match furniture and accessories as your heart desires. Pair an antique farm table with modern metal chairs. Stack favorite books on a side table. Place a geometric patterned pillow in a bold color on a classic wing chair. Use your imagination.
Key elements of Eclectic Style Decor:
- authentic and original
- no rules
- draws from many styles
- difficult to balance
- opposites

Farmhouse Industrial/Fixer Upper Style
Vintage pieces like old grocery store signs and feed sacks mixed with lots of metal wire baskets, industrial spool tables, metal shelving, aluminum stools, and industrial look lighting. Or subway art, old shipping crates, rusty gears as doorstops, a table made of wood palette and a large crystal chandelier could be used. If you're lucky enough to live in a true hard loft, industrial chic will naturally define your space: exposed brick walls, ductwork, a suspended barn door and cement floors. But this look can be created in almost any room you wish with the right elements.
Key elements of Farmhouse Industrial/Fixer Upper Style Decor:
- vintage pieces
- architectural salvage
- subway art, shipping crates, rusty machinery parts
- exposed brick and ductwork
- barn doors
Where to shop for Farmhouse Industrial/Fixer Upper Decor:
Find the Farmhouse Industrial/Fixer Upper Decorating Style Pinterest Board here.
Modern Style
Modern style is clean, streamlined, sometimes neutral and sometimes with bold pops of color. It is characterized by polished surfaces (concrete, granite, chrome, lacquer and stainless steel), geometric shapes and asymmetry. Art is composed of bold shapes and forms and shows best when spotlighted. Sometimes described as stark, modern decorating can be warmed up with the addition of texture in a sisal or shag rug or grass cloth wall covering.
Key elements of Modern Style Decor:
- clean, streamlined
- polished surfaces
- concrete, granite, chrome, lacquer
- geometric shapes
- sometimes stark
Where to shop for Modern Decor:

Retro Style
Light-hearted and funky, Retro decorating isn't confined to any one decade, but can be a mix of anything from the 1930's art deco to the psychedelic 1960s. A lava lamp, vintage clock, jukebox, 1950s fridge, checkered vinyl floor and chrome and vinyl furniture make up an overall Retro look. Vintage collectors and flea market shoppers love this look.
Key elements of Retro Style Decor:
- light-hearted and funky
- spans many decades
- lava lamps, jukeboxes
- checkered floors
- vinyl and chrome furniture
Where to shop for Retro Decor:

Shabby Chic Style
Made popular by Rachel Ashwell and her retail chain in the1980s, shabby chic decorating combines the idea that something worn and perhaps dilapidated can also be elegant and stylish. Simple slipcovers, flower arrangements like roses or hydrangeas, chippy painted or white-washed wood furniture and shades of white (and other soft colors) are indicative of shabby chic decorating. Vintage mirrors, spray painted formerly brass chandeliers with hanging crystals, handcrafted and vintage as opposed to mass produced.
Key elements of Shabby Chic Style Decor:
- worn and timeless
- elegant and stylish
- slipcovers, flowers
- chippy paint and white wash
- not mass-produced

Traditional Style
Traditional decorating is frequently associated with older generations, but can be adapted to suit younger families. Traditional decorating is calm, orderly, predictable and full of classic lines and understated details. Furniture may seem outdated and it is often in matching sets – like a complete dining room set or perfectly matching coffee table and end tables. Think wall sconces, tassel-trimmed full drapery, wing chairs, extensive moldings, highly polished dark cherry or mahogany wood. Fabrics include silk, velvet and damask. Accessories tend toward ornate gilded mirrors and artwork inspired by nature. Furniture layouts are quite formal and placed at right angles from each other. Keep it even and organized with Traditional decorating.
Key elements of Traditional Style Decor:
- typically older generations
- calm, orderly, predictable
- classic lines and understated details
- full drapery, wing chairs, matching sets
- silk, velvet, damask
- extensive moldings

Check Up from the Neck Up
Insights and perspectives on injury prevention, rehabilitation, health and fitness
Each year, roughly 15% of football players suffer a mild traumatic brain injury. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the odds are even worse for teenage athletes. Teenage players suffer nearly 2 million brain injuries each year, and the likelihood of suffering a concussion is three times higher for football players than the second most dangerous sport (women's soccer). Adding to these frightening statistics, Grantland.com reported that high school football players who suffer three or more concussions are nearly 10 times more likely to exhibit multiple abnormal responses to head injury, including loss of consciousness and persistent amnesia.
Some concussions are diagnosed as minor, however in reality, there are no minor concussions; brain trauma is brain trauma. A player does not have to lose consciousness to have a concussion, and unfortunately those who have experienced repeated concussions are susceptible to chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE is quite similar to Alzheimer's disease in that those who suffer from it often experience memory loss, mood disorders, and depression.
Whether you are a football lover or hater, you have most likely come to the realization that football is and always will be a dangerous sport. There is however a new realization about just how dangerous football can be long after a player has retired from the sport. The players that we love and have lost will always be a painful reminder.
Although we have become privy to the down side of this beloved sport, we have also become aware of what we can do to help prevent concussions and head injuries; strengthening the neck musculature. According to the experts in the field, a stronger neck can actually dissipate the force of a violent blow to the head, through your neck and down into the torso and protect your brain.
When your neck is strong it will slow the head movement down from a blow, and stop it before it snaps back and rattles the brain. I realize that I have said it before, but I am going to be redundant concerning this matter. Since we know that strengthening the neck can help prevent catastrophic injuries and concussions, why isn't every athlete training his or her neck? The good news is that many teams including high school teams have implemented neck training into their programs. If your athletes are playing sports, especially football, I encourage you to help educate them and their parents about what they can do to help combat concussions. If you are a parent ask if your kids school provides neck strengthening equipment and how often they use it. The neck is the first and last part of the body that an athlete should train. Train your neck and protect your brain!

Today, finding a ride is just a smartphone tap away through a rideshare app like Lyft or Uber. With these types of mobile apps, it is incredibly easy for riders to secure to get a ride whenever they need to go. With the growing list of rideshare companies, which do riders and drivers think is the best rideshare service? To help you pick the right one for you, here are 10 of the most useful rideshare apps that will surely give you a lift.
Rideshare Apps | Which Suits Your Need?
Let's take a look at the world of ridesharing by diving headfirst into the list, starting with the most popular.
1. Uber
Uber is one of the biggest names in the ridesharing industry. It is present in more than 200 cities around the world, allowing anyone who has downloaded the app to be picked up quickly and reliably. The app provides driver contact information to its riders and sends a text message when the driver arrives. Uber permits its customers to choose the type of vehicle they want and even offers a shared ride with various carpool options.
The Uber app provides tons of features making it very convenient to use. Here are a few of its features:
Fare Estimate: The Uber app can provide you an estimated cost of your ride before you make a request.
Simply set up your pickup location, key in your destination, and tap "Fare Quote" and the app will determine the approximate cost established from a distance and expected time. So, you'll never worry about any unexpected charges on your receipt.
Split Fare: Riding with other people in Uber is made easy with a fare for a division. After your trip begins, tap "Split Fare" from the menu and add all the passengers that want to split the ride. Everyone will pay a minimal amount in the form of a transaction fee, but the fare will be divided equally and charged to every passenger's credit card.
Share ETA: For added security, the Uber app allows passengers to send an ETA to family and friends, so they know when to expect the passenger.
Sending an ETA is easy. Once a ride has started, the rider can go to the menu within the Uber app and select "Share ETA." The app will then automatically create a text message with the link to the ride. A rider must then only tap 'send' and their ETA will instantly share.
Request A Ride For Someone Else: In the effort to win customers, Uber recently added new features that allow customers to apply for a ride for someone else. Meaning, when a customer opens the app, it will provide an option to let the user pick a friend from their contact list, request a ride to the rider's final destination, and even pay for the trip. This new feature just started in June 2017.
In July 2017, Uber launched an in-app tipping function to all U.S. drivers called 180 Days Of Change. This service aims to improve the driving experience and is accepted among both riders and drivers.
2. Lyft
Lyft is another big name in the ridesharing industry and the most major competitor against Uber. While Uber is operating worldwide, Lyft conducts business in a large handful of cities in the United States. Both Lyft and Uber have comparably similar costs, although they both offer different ride credits, and many other premium options and promotions.
As Uber's number 1 competitor, Lyft also has it owns perks that incorporate a combination of professionalism and fun.
The Map: The home screen of the Lyft app is a map that displays a rider's location, the area of available Lyft cars, and the ability to choose a pickup and drop-off destination. The map also provides the option to choose from different Lyft services.
Set Your Pickup Point: For riders to select their pickup point on the map, they only drag the pin to the area where the Lyft driver can pick them up, then tap the "Set pickup button." If the pickup point is the present rider's location, don't move the pin. If you want the pin back to your current location just tap the arrow icon located at the lower right corner and the pin will automatically go back to your current location.
Choose Destination And View Upfront Cost: Once riders are done setting a pickup location, an "Add destination" bar will pop out. They'll then tap the add destination bar and type in the name or the address of the destination.
After a rider sets the destination, the app will then display the up-front cost of the ride. For a rider to get the approximate cost of a Lyft ride, they just enter a pickup and drop off location and see what comes up. It also allows users to add multiple drops offs if riders are in a group and plan to bounce off before the end of the ride.
Like Uber, Lyft has also recently rolled out new app enhancements. Last June 2017, Lyft launched an update to its app that allows both passengers and drivers to save time during rides.
The feature now leads passengers to more convenient pickup locations; intended to accelerate the pickup methods by recommending an area that would assist drivers to avoid constructions areas, one-way streets, and other hindrances that could slow down the ride. The Lyft app will show the total time saved if riders will agree to go by foot to the nearest pickup point.
3. Zimride
Juno only takes previous Lyft and Uber drivers with 4.7 and above rating. They take a lesser commission from drivers than Uber and tips are also entirely given to drivers. Their drivers are allowed to block riders. Juno even pays drivers more in surge areas, but won't charge riders anything extra.
Juno rideshare app is taking up competition with Uber and Lyft. Unlike Uber and Lyft, who allows drivers to rate riders, Juno does not have that feature. All the driver can do is unmatched with a rider, meaning she or he won't be paired again with the same driver.
7. Gett
Gett started operating in international cities and began running in New York City in 2014. Right now, Gett is joining forces with Juno. It hails as the popular reservation service of corporate officials.
Gett offers up to two weeks advanced booking and does not have any surge cost. As a ridesharing company, it gives sign-up bonuses for drivers up to $600, 10% commission cap, and tips are completely awarded to drivers.
8. Flywheel
Flywheel is a simple alternative to its competitors. Flywheel's drivers have all licensed professionals because their service partners are the taxis in your area.
Like Gett, Flywheel is not into surge pricing, so riders are never surprised with any unexpected charges. This ridesharing company is currently operating in San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Sacramento, and Seattle with future expected expansion.
9. Via
Via's main feature is low flat rates ($3.95 to $5.95) for shared rides, instead of basing the cost on how far or long the ride is. Via takes any credit card and pre-tax passenger benefit debit cards. Passengers must buy "Ride Credit" within the app, though, or you can avoid that with a $2 pay-per-ride surcharge.
Want a rideshare app that provides ride service for kids? Check out HopSkipDrive an app designed for busy parents:
Ridesharing servicing using a rideshare app has become an attractive alternative to using taxi cabs and will undoubtedly continue in an upward trend in both popularity and use. With their continuous expansions, increasing features, and non-stop competition, both riders, and drivers are at an incredible advantage.
Which rideshare app will you choose to take you to your next destination? Let us know in the comments section below.Note: There is a rating embedded within this post, please visit this post to rate it.

Summer, the time of year that networking comes to you. Community events are in abundance and opportunities to introduce yourself are everywhere. Wednesday Night Socials, The Valley Social Co. patio, or out and about on Second Ave never be afraid to say hello.

The Rural Development Institute State of the Basin reports on four pillars environment, economy, culture, and society. Drawing on federal, provincial, regional, and local resources, RDI compiles a comprehensive look at communities in the Basin (Columbia-Basin-Boundary Region). I spent an afternoon reading this document. I found Fernie often at the top or bottom of scales. It rarely shows up in the middle. The report points to how our success as a community is also the cause of our biggest challenges. In the end, we see that Fernie has a great foundation on which to build.

It happens to all of us, we have grand plans to do a renovation, re-merchandise the shop, start a business blog or whatever new and exciting thing you've waited until the New Year's to declare. Then obstacles get in the way and our goals get caste aside in pursuit of the "more important" things that have fallen into our laps. We struggle to gather the strength and effort of making time for our goals and before you know it's time for another New Year's declaration.
So how do we overcome our obstacles and put our goals back on the top shelf?

No, Says Bill MoyersBy Dylan|July 25, 2007ShareBy Dylan|July 25, 2007ShareAfter being blasted by PBS ombudsman Michael Getler for failing to provide an opposing view in his calls to oust Bush, Bill Moyers countered the attack with:July 24, 2007Dear Mr. Getler:I respect your work and your role, but I disagree with you about "balance." The journalist's job is not to achieve some mythical state of equilibrium between two opposing opinions out of some misshapen respect — sometimes, alas, reverence — for the prevailing consensus among the powers-that-be. The journalist's job is to seek out and offer the public the best thinking on an issue, event, or story. That's what I did regarding the argument for impeachment.Official Washington may not want to hear the best arguments for impeachment — or any at all — but a lot of America does. More than four out of ten people indicated in that recent national poll that they favor impeaching President Bush and more than five out of ten, Vice President Cheney. They're talking impeachment out there and that dynamic in public opinion is news. There's a movement for impeachment, not one against impeachment, and to fail to explore the arguments driving that movement would be as foolish as when Washington journalists in the months before the invasion of Iraq dared not talk about "occupation" because official sources only wanted to talk about "liberation." Letting the official consensus govern the conversation is also to let it decide the subject.So to hear the best arguments driving public sentiment, I invited on my broadcast a conservative scholar who reveres the Constitution, Bruce Fein, and a liberal political journalist, John Nichols, who has written a fine book on the historical roots of impeachment. That two men of different philosophies come to the same conclusion on this issue is in itself newsworthy, and they made a valuable contribution to the public dialogue, as confirmed by the roughly 20:1 positive response to the broadcast. Of course I could have aired a Beltway-like "debate" between a Democrat and a Republican, or a conservative and a liberal, but that's usually conventional wisdom and standard practice, and public broadcasting was meant to be an alternative, not an echo. If a debate about impeachment becomes the story, I'll come back with different guests to explore it. Right now it's the argument for impeachment that is shaping public opinion, and that's why I chose to interview two informed thinkers who have arrived at the same destination from very different directions.A personal note: Pinned to the bulletin board on the wall behind my computer — I am looking at it now — is the column you wrote in January calling on public broadcasting to "be more…aggressive," including on the issue of, yes, impeachment. I took encouragement from that column over these months as I tracked grassroots activity and the growing public conversation on the subject across the country. I was cheered by your assertion in the same column that "'on-the-one-hand/on-the-other hand' type of journalism that is much more common can be less than enlightening at times such as these…" In thinking that you imagined public broadcasting as a service, not a sedative, I trust I wasn't misreading your New Year's resolution.By the way, we did not remove any controversial postings from our Web site, as indicated in your critique. We welcome all points of view and responses to our programs on our blog.Sincerely,Bill MoyersRELATED: Is Bill Moyers Unbalanced? Sharehttp://adweek.it/2kbQBVK copy Adweek Adweek

Unusual mittens... I know, that shaping... I know. I just couldn't resist to try. You can easily make them without that, by just knitting in a round after stitches collection. What I like about them, there are snug and fit.
What is interesting? This flap! I think that next time I will mess with a shape. Second, important thing is that I maybe casted on too many stitches for 2 year old. However, I still think it is a good idea for a man cowl. Something different and fun.
Once in a while you may find yourself in a situation and you would like to knit something for a 2 year old (or younger) in one day. This would be perfect and fast, at least I think that way. First thing that I want to tell you is that I made a matching cowl (my boy version with a flap) so check that out too - 2 year old SNOOD COWL.
I need to make notes while knitting. It will make me easier to write info below. I am thinking of an blank excel sheet filled with some info that I need to filled in. If I am missing anything please let me know. This hat is for December 2015 Giveaway gift, therefore I need to check measurements soon.
Anyway, first thing ever - knitted a hat on smaller needles than 4mm... I count it as a big achievement. Never used colours like that and first time, as I am aware, used cables on a hat. If you are NOT A KNITTER, I know that sounds so lame but if you are you exactly know what I am talking about. Fun experience.
Hopefully the winner will be announced on the 1st of January in the JANUARY GIVEAWAY 2016 !!!

Allen is a workaholic! Being in the financial industry in these difficult times is very trying and requires an exorbitant amount of his time and energy. Being great at his job and taking extremely great care of his clients has paid off for him. Now getting ahead, Allen decided it was finally time to play catch up, and take care of something he has neglected and wanted to do something about for over two decades – the appearance of his teeth!
When Allen came in to our office to discuss cosmetic dentistry he was embarrassed and shy about discussing his dental problems. It was obvious that he was afraid of the dentist and what kind of treatment he would need to have. When patients are scarred, nervous and distrusting we find it is essential to build rapport and establish trust and confidence before recommending any dentistry. So, to truly find out where Allen was coming from we started by asking him questions. What brought him to our office? Did he have any pain or something specific that he wanted treated? When was his last dental visit? Has he ever had a bad dental experience? Did he have any dental fears? Was there anything about the appearance of his teeth and smile that he wanted to change?
What we discovered was that Allen hadn't seen a dentist in twenty years and at his last dental appointment he had had a tooth ache and the dentist pulled his tooth. It was a horrible experience for Allen that left him afraid of dentists and dentistry. Also, we discovered that Allen desperately wanted to improve the appearance of his teeth and smile. When he was in high school they would call him "Goofy teeth", and that humiliating nick name had very detrimental effects on his self esteem. What Allen wanted was dentistry done in a comfortable, painless way and he was very interested in cosmetic dentistry!
It was obvious that Allen would best served by treating him with oral conscious sedation dentistry. This is a very safe and effective way of dramatically reducing the anxiety of dentistry with patients who are very nervous and apprehensive about their dentistry. The conscious sedation patient isn't put to sleep but just sedated to a very comfortable level with a combination of several pills taken orally and often combined with nitrous oxide. In addition to making the patients very relaxed, they often have little or no memory of the dental visit. It is also a very useful adjunct to use for patients who are difficult to get numb or who have a hyperactive gag response.
After discussing oral conscious sedation with Allen he said "I definitely want that," and looked much more relaxed and less anxious about discussing his dentistry.
Next, we started discussing what he had in mind with regard to making his teeth look better. What didn't he like about his teeth? What did he want changed? "I hate the way my teeth are crooked and my front two teeth are spaced," he said, referring also to his childhood nickname, "Goofy teeth." He also said he wanted white teeth and if he was finally going to fix his teeth he wanted his teeth to be beautiful. "I don't want anyone ever to look at my teeth and judge me negatively again," he exclaimed!
Allen had basically two choices. He could bleach his very dark teeth, getting them considerably whiter, then replace some of his old fillings and finishing up by getting braces to make his teeth straight. He would have a much better looking smile, but it would take a total of 6-9 months of treatment. "That is out of the question," Allen stated. "I'm much too busy and there is no way in the world would I consider braces."
We told Allen that we understood completely, but in cases like his where his crooked teeth could be treated with braces we always want to give our patients that option. Actually in Allen's case, we were recommending porcelain veneers as the treatment of choice. That would make his teeth straight in a very short period of time and would actually make Allen's teeth look much nicer than braces and teeth whitening.
"So how do porcelain veneers work, what's involved and how long will it take?" Allen then asked?
"Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain that are bonded over the crooked, chipped or discolored teeth to make them look like beautiful, straight teeth," we told Allen. "You can actually choose the color your new teeth will be and your entire treatment is just a couple of dental visits, which we can do with the oral conscious sedation that we mentioned, and your new smile will be completed well within a couple weeks time!" We also explained to Allen that we would need do some slight reshaping of his teeth in order to accommodate the porcelain veneers or they would end up looking too thick, which is one of the major complaints from patients who have had "prep-less" Lumineers.
After further discussing advantages and disadvantages, and risks and potential complications of his treatment options Allen decided to have Dr. Huefner place eight porcelain veneers on his upper teeth and bleach his lower teeth. He loved knowing that he could actually choose the color of his porcelain veneers and that they would never change color over time, as his natural teeth had done.
Allen's porcelain veneer treatment visits were done with oral conscious sedation and his entire treatment was completed within three weeks. His new smile was absolutely beautiful! Allen chose a BL2 porcelain shade from the tooth shade guide and a masculine smile style from the tooth shape library. Dr. Huefner had his ceramist place some slight surface texture and slight incisal translucency to make the new porcelain veneers look natural, like real teeth.
Allen completed his smile makeover with porcelain veneers having much more confidence and self esteem, from both having the treatment done that he had always been fearing, and also from finally getting an extremely attractive smile with beautiful teeth. And one thing for sure for this Aliso Viejo executive, nobody would ever call him "Goofy teeth" again!

I'm Alive...
...but crazy. I haven't visited your blogs this week or even my own. I worked 67 hours last week and I start a new semester this week, so that means I'm going to be even more busy (busier?) I am exhausted and don't see it improving any time soon. At any rate, I'm still here, but it may be a little while before I'm able to blog again.

In Chapter 10, Harun tells his companion that the day after he killed the Frenchman, he was awoken by the smell of coffee and sound of his mother singing. He had not heard him her singing in years. He decided not to go out and instead went back to sleep. His mother woke him telling him that two soldiers had come about the shots heard the night before. The colonel wanted Harun to come to the town hall to talk to him. Harun wondered what the soldiers really wanted from him. He believed they would not convict him of guilt in the murder of the Frenchman even if he were to show up with that man's body. He thought instead because he was so different from other people that the soldiers wanted to question him.
When Harun finally went to the town hall, five...

The receptionist desk had been a half wall. It was too tall for some patients to see over and too tall for the Office Manager to see over when she was seated. Dr. McKellar did a cut out. This has been better for the Office Manager and easier for our patients too.
One of the walls in the operatory area has been painted a bright red. The brown circles on this red wall make it almost look like a ladybug.
Make an appointment and come in and tell ua what you think.

"When I saw you I fell in love and you smiled because you knew." William Shakespeare
I love weddings. Each and every one is special and they're one of the most incredible days of your life! The photography should capture the spirit of the day; the secret smiles that are exchanged, the whispered 'I love you's' into just married ears and the holding of hands that silently connect the two of you when you're surrounded by and being congratulated by a thronging crowd........
I normally like to meet up with the bride and groom before your wedding so that we can have a chat and you can talk to me about what kind of photos you might like and I can suggest some ideas if you're not sure. For instance, if you're getting married near the coast, you might want a selection of images on the beach (or in the sea if you're feeling brave!), specific family photos or they might be special little touches on the day that you'd like to be photographed.
I generally favour a natural, candid and unobtrusive style, however it's sometimes nice to have a number of semi posed photos, including the bride and groom too. This usually means a walk away for a few minutes away from your guests, which also allows some time for just the two of you to relax and enjoy each others company whilst I take some beautiful photographs of you both.
After the wedding, your photos are individually edited and put into your password protected online gallery for you and your guests to view and order copies if they wish.
If you'd like to have a chat or arrange a meeting to discuss what options are available, please call me on 0776 233 6222 or email me at email@example.com
"Yours is the light by which my spirit's born: you are my sun, my moon and all my stars." EE Cummings
Wedding packages start at £1100, which includes the following:
o pre-wedding consultation and a visit to the venue
o full days coverage from the bride getting ready, until well into the evening (around 10pm)
o my assistant/secondphotographer from around an hour before the ceremony
o all edited images
o your photos on a locked online gallery where guests can view and buy photos
o copyright free images on a disc or USB stick
There are also a number of options that you may wish to add on, which include:
o A3 or A4 storybook albums
o duplicate parent albums
o a second photographer to cover groom preparation
o a pre-wedding shoot with a signing frame or a signing book
"He's more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same." Emily Bronte
Additional information
o I'm fully insured and shoot with Canon professional equipment.
o I have samples of the story book albums with leather covers, 20 x 30cm parent books as well as the smaller 10 x 13cm books for you to view.
o If you'd like something different, for example if you're having a small wedding and only need a photographer for a couple of hours, please contact me and I'll be happy to provide a tailored quote.
o I ask for a 25% fee to secure the date, with the balance payable 30 days before the wedding
o I'll normally meet with you at my studio for a relaxed chat about your day, what you'd like and how I can help over coffee and a cheeky cake or two! You don't have to decide there and then if you'd like to book, however if you decide to go ahead, I'll send you contract with all of the details for you to sign, which secures the date.
"A soulmate is a meeting of mind, spirit and body with someone whose strengths, flaws and energy perfectly compliment your own. It is steady ground. A shelter in a storm. A point on a map when you are wayward and lost. The promise of a place to come home to for as long as you are here in the world." Beau Taplin

Heel pain is one of the most common diagnosis that we see in our practice. Heel pain is often due to an inflamed ligament on the bottom of the foot called the plantar fascia. Heel pain may also be due to other causes, such as a stress fracture, tendonitis, arthritis, nerve irritation, or, rarely, a cyst.
Because there are several potential causes, it is important to have heel pain properly diagnosed. As foot specialists we are able to distinguish between all the possibilities and determine the underlying source of your heel pain.
What Is Plantar Fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is an inflammation of the band of tissue (the plantar fascia) that extends from the heel to the toes. In this condition, the fascia first becomes irritated and then inflamed, resulting in heel pain.
The most common cause of plantar fasciitis relates to faulty structure of the foot. For example, people who have problems with their arches, either overly flat feet or high-arched feet, are more prone to developing plantar fasciitis.
Wearing non-supportive footwear on hard, flat surfaces puts abnormal strain on the plantar fascia and can also lead to plantar fasciitis. This is typically found when one's job requires long hours on the feet. Obesity may also contribute to plantar fasciitis.
People with plantar fasciitis often describe the pain as worse when they get up in the morning or after they've been sitting for long periods of time. After a few minutes of walking the pain decreases, because walking stretches the fascia. For some people the pain subsides but returns after spending long periods of time on their feet.
To diagnose the type of heel pain that you suffer from our staff will obtain your medical history and examine your foot. Throughout this process our foot specialists will rule out all the possible causes for your heel pain other than plantar fasciitis.
In addition, diagnostic imaging studies such as x-rays or other imaging modalities may be used to distinguish the different types of heel pain. Sometimes heel spurs are found in patients with plantar fasciitis, but these are rarely a source of pain. When they are present, the condition may be diagnosed as plantar fasciitis/heel spur syndrome.
Non-Surgical Treatment
- Stretching exercises
- Avoid going barefoot.
- Ice.
- Limit activities.
- Shoe modifications.
- Medications.
If you still have pain after several weeks, our foot specialists, will add one or more of these treatment approaches:
- Padding and strapping. Placing pads in the shoe softens the impact of walking. Strapping helps support the foot and reduce strain on the fascia.
- Orthotic devices. Custom orthotic devices that fit into your shoe help correct the underlying structural abnormalities causing the plantar fasciitis
- Injection therapy. In some cases, corticosteroid injections are used to help reduce the inflammation and relieve pain.
- Removable walking cast. A removable walking cast may be used to keep your foot immobile for a few weeks to allow it to rest and heal.
- Night splint. Wearing a night splint allows you to maintain an extended stretch of the plantar fascia while sleeping. This may help reduce the morning pain experienced by some patients.
- Physical therapy. Exercises and other physical therapy measures may be used to help provide relief.
When Is Surgery Needed?
Although most patients with plantar fasciitis respond to non-surgical treatment, a small percentage of patients may require surgery. If, after several months of non-surgical treatment, you continue to have heel pain, surgery will be considered. Our foot specialists will discuss the surgical options with you and determine which approach would be most beneficial for you.
Long-term Care
No matter what kind of treatment you undergo for plantar fasciitis, the underlying causes that led to this condition may remain. Therefore, you will need to continue with preventive measures. Wearing supportive shoes, stretching, and using custom orthotic devices are the mainstay of long-term treatment for plantar fasciitis.
Calcaneal Apophysitis (Growth plate injury of Heel)
Minimally invasive surgical procedures for Chronic plantar fasciitis
1) Topaz
Our foot specialists have been performing the Topaz procedure since 2006. Originally, the procedure required an incision. The procedure is an outpatient surgery under mild sedation and local anesthesia. A series of needle holes are made into the plantar fascia region of pain and the Topaz probe is inserted and used to break up the scar tissue through a large burst of heat and energy. The micro fascia releases break up the scar tissue and release the fascia in a microscopic level that allows for healing and less pull of the fascia on the heel. This is what we refer to as a micro plantar fascia release. No sutures are required.Recovery is about 4-6 weeks. Patient's are placed in a boot for one week and then sneaker one week after the procedure. Physical therapy may be necessary to decrease pain and help with healing.
2) Instep plantar fasciotomy
The in-step plantar fascia release is used in cases of a severely tight plantar fascia that has pain associated with the heel and possibly the arch region. An instep arch plantar fascia release allows release of the fascia in the tightest region and the incision is made in a non-weight-bearing region of the foot. The procedure is done in outpatient hospital or surgery center under sedation. An incision is placed in the arch region and the fascia is released in its arch side only. The outer side of the fascia is left intact to support the outside portion of the foot while the arch portion, which is normally tight, is released. The patient is allowed to put weight on the foot right after surgery in a boot and is kept in the boot for about 3-4 weeks. Return to full activity, which is expected to take 6-8 weeks in total from the time of surgery.
3) PRP (Soon to come)
4) Tenex Procedure
The Tenex procedure is a minimally invasive procedure to remove the scar tissue and increase blood supply in the plantar fascia. In cases of severe plantar fasciitis, there is chronic scar tissue in the heel region. The Tenex procedure uses an ultrasound wave and a patented suction device to break up and pull out the scar tissue in the plantar fascia. The procedure is performed in the office under local anesthesia or in the surgery center with mild sedation, if the patient prefers. A small needle hole is made on the side of the heel and the probe is introduced into the scar tissue area under ultrasound guidance for precise placement. The scar tissue is broken up and suctioned out of the heel area. The foot is placed in a boot and protected for 1-2 weeks. Usually the heel pain takes about 4 weeks to resolve. Our foot specialists are looking into this new state of the art surgical procedure for chronic plantar fasciitis cases.
Tenex Health
Plantar fasciitis or achilles tendonitis, an inflammation, irritation and swelling of the tendon, comes from an injury or doing the things you love or need to do—over and over again. Repetitive motions, no matter how ordinary, can cause small micro tears that occur each time you use your tendon. When the micro tears do not heal properly, tendinosis (tendon degeneration) can occur.
Percutaneous tenotomy or percutaneous fasciotomy, using ultrasonic energy powered by the Tenex Health System, is a safe and quick procedure specially designed for those who are suffering from painful conditions associated with chronic tendon damage. The procedure treats tendinosis or fasciitis in the ankle and foot.
Tenex Health TX is based on advanced technology developed in collaboration with the world-renowned Mayo Clinic.
Tenex Health Benefits
If you have tried physical therapy, cortisone injections, medication, or just taking time to ice, stretch, and rest and are still in pain, talk to us. We now have a solution that does not involve general or open surgery, may give you quick pain reduction and should have you back to enjoying the things you love in a few weeks to a few months.
Patient benefits may include:
- Quick pain relief
- Rapid return to normal activities
- Local anesthetic used instead of general anesthesia
- No sutures, no stitches (requires only a small, adhesive bandage)
- 20-minute, minimally invasive procedure (not open surgery)
- Coverage by most insurances
How does Tenex Health Work?
Precisely targets your damaged tissue. Your doctor uses ultrasound imaging, just like the kind used to see babies in the womb, to visualize and identify the specific location of the damaged tendon tissue.
Gently removes damaged tissue. Once the source of your tendon pain is identified, your doctor numbs the area with a local anesthetic, allowing you to stay awake the entire time. Many people say after the numbing process—which feels like a bee sting—they felt only a slight pressure during the procedure (if they felt anything at all). Your doctor then uses gentle ultrasonic energy designed to safely breakdown and remove the damaged tissue. The ultrasonic energy is applied with the TX MicroTip, which requires only a microincision to reach the damaged tissue. Because the incision is so small and the ultrasonic energy precisely treats only the damaged tendon tissue, the surrounding healthy tissue is left unharmed.
Requires no stitches. When the procedure is completed, your doctor applies a small adhesive bandage; no stitches are required. Because you are awake during the procedure (no general anesthesia), many people are able to drive home after the procedure.
Can offer nearly instant pain relief with a rapid recovery. Recovery is rapid with many people being back to normal activity within 6 weeks or less. Because the surrounding healthy tissue is not disturbed, and no stitches or general anesthesia is required, there is minimal downtime and less discomfort compared to open surgery. The speed of your recovery depends on the location of your tendinitis and your individual results may vary.
What areas of the body does our practice treat with Tenex Health?

COUTANCES, France (AFP) – The captain and first mate of a British ferry that sliced into a fishing boat at high speed, killing its skipper, were convicted of manslaughter by a French court on Wednesday.
But the two Frenchmen were handed suspended sentences, upsetting the victim's widow who said they should have gone to jail.
The court in the Normandy town of Coutances handed former captain Paul Le Romancer, 59, an 18-month suspended sentence and first mate Yves Tournon, 48, a 12-month suspended sentence.
The court had heard that the "Condor Vitesse" catamaran, owned by Britain's Condor Ferries, had been travelling at high-speed in thick fog when it crashed into the fishing boat on March 28, 2011.
Evidence from France's BEA maritime authority revealed that the captain and first mate had been distracted before the crash -- discussing Halle Berry film "Catwoman" and drugs testing -- and did not pay enough attention to their radar.
Prosecutors said the pair had also deactivated the ship's anti-collision system and had not turned on its fog horn.
The collision took place in the English Channel, between the French port of Saint Malo and the island of Jersey.
The 86.6-metre (285-foot) catamaran sliced the 9.3-metre (30-foot) fishing boat in two, killing its captain Philippe Lesaulnier, a 42-year-old father of four.
The boat's two other crew members were fished out of the sea unharmed.
In tears after the verdict was announced, the victim's widow Delphine Lesaulnier said the court's decision was unacceptable.
"This is ridiculous, it's nothing at all," she said. "It's like you can kill someone, destroy a family and nothing happens."
Prosecutors had called for Le Romancer to be sentenced to a year in prison and for Tournon to face six months. It was not immediately clear if prosecutors would appeal the court's ruling.
Condor Ferries, based on the British island of Guernsey, was not itself prosecuted.

CriMinal court
poTTSVILLe — for the second time in as many days, a defendant did not appear Sept. 22 in Schuylkill County Court, this time for a nonjury trial that ended with his being convicted of driving under the influence of drugs in September 2015 in Shenandoah.
Gregory Swatsky, 63, of mount Carmel, is guilty of DUI and driving on the sidewalk, but not guilty of disregarding traffic lane, Judge Jacqueline L. russell ruled after a 90-minute trial held in the defendant's absence.
"I find that the defendant has no valid grounds not to be here," russell said before proceeding.
Later in the trial, assistant public Defender Kent D. Watkins, Swatsky's lawyer, said he had learned his client was in Centre County prison. However, Watkins elected to continue with the trial.
after rendering her verdict, russell ordered preparation of a presentence investigation and said she would schedule sentencing for a later date.
Shenandoah police had charged Swatsky was DUI at 2:40 a.m. Sept. 20, 2015, on Centre Street in the borough.
"The vehicle made an abrupt right turn" from West Street onto Centre Street, state police Trooper michael J. o'Neill, who was a Shenandoah police captain at the time of the incident, testified. Swatsky then drove the vehicle onto the sidewalk, o'Neill said.
Swatsky appeared to be under the influence of something, and admitted taking two drugs, o'Neill said.
"I asked for his driver's license. He handed me his aarp card," o'Neill said.
patrolman William moyer, who was with o'Neill, also testified he saw Swatsky drive onto the sidewalk.
also on Sept. 22, russell revoked the parole of Steven R. Melsom, 21, of Shenandoah, and recommitted him to prison, with no chance of reparole, except to a long-term rehabilitation center, until Dec. 22. He also must undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation.
melsom admitted violating his parole by failing to report to his supervising officer, moving without permission, using drugs, failing a drug test, not making payments on his costs and fees and not performing mandated community service.
"I just want to learn how to deal with problems without using drugs," he said.
melsom originally pleaded guilty on June 7 to simple assault in one case and burglary in another. prosecutors withdrew two counts of theft and one each of criminal trespass, receiving stolen property and harassment.
at that time, russell sentenced him to serve 168 days to 18 months in prison, pay costs and $100 to the Criminal Justice enhancement account, and submit a DNa sample to law enforcement authorities.
State police at frackville filed both sets of charges against melsom, alleging he committed the assault on June 23, 2016, and the burglary the next day.
In another Sept. 22 case, russell revoked the parole of Paul B. Petrus Jr., 25, of mahanoy City, and recommitted him to prison, with no chance for reparole until Dec. 13, 2017. He also must undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation, and could remain behind bars until Sept. 12, 2018.
petrus, who admitted violating his parole by committing a new crime, failing a drug test, using drugs, not making payments on his costs and fees and not performing mandated community service, originally pleaded guilty on feb. 15 to possession of a controlled substance. prosecutors withdrew a charge of possession of drug paraphernalia.
at that time, russell sentenced petrus to serve two days to 12 months in prison and pay costs, $100 to the Substance abuse education fund and a $50 CJea payment.
Shenandoah police had charged petrus with possessing drugs on april 24, 2014, in the borough.
also on Sept. 22, russell granted the request of prosecutors and ordered the forfeiture and destruction of four guns belonging to Leon A. Schappell Jr., pottsville.
Schappell had withdrawn his objection to the forfeiture of the guns, which prosecutors said included a pistol, a pellet gun, a .22-caliber long rifle and a 12-gauge shotgun.
In a Sept. 21 case, Brittany M. Shadle, 26, of Hegins, pleaded guilty to delivery of a controlled substance in one case and flight to avoid apprehension in another. prosecutors withdrew charges of possession with intent to deliver a controlled substance and possession of a controlled substance in the first case and resisting arrest in the second.
Judge James p. goodman accepted Shadle's plea and sentenced her to serve three to 12 months in prison, pay costs, a $100 Saef payment, $100 in CJea payments and $113 restitution to the state police crime laboratory in Bethlehem, and submit a DNa sample to law enforcement authorities.
Hegins Township police filed both sets of charges against Shadle, alleging she delivered drugs on Nov. 25, 2015, and fled from police on Dec. 2, 2016.

Rekindle the romance in Paris and Versailles
Rekindle the romance in Paris and Versailles
My heart raced as we made our way through the winding streets and narrow back alleyways of the Montmartre art district, passing patrons who were leisurely sipping espresso from tiny cups at outdoor cafés. We'd just arrived in Paris — newlyweds on a weeklong honeymoon-dream-come-true — and I couldn't wait to catch my first glimpse of the Eiffel Tower.
"Hurry up!" I teased my better half as he stopped to admire a street artist's handiwork. Suddenly, we'd found ourselves lost among easels and canvases in Place du Tertre, the famous square said to have inspired masterpieces from the brushes of Renoir and Picasso. As a peddler approached me, extending an offer to sketch our portraits, my husband's hand wrapped around mine, and he pulled me away in the knick of time.
Just then, the stunning, sugar-white dome of the Sacré-Coeur came into view. "There it is!" I shouted, and we made a run for it. As we sprinted toward the landmark, I found myself distracted by the intricate details of the grim-faced gargoyles that peered down at us. Then, there we were, catching our breath on the steps of the basilica with the City of Love and Light at our feet. The familiar A-shaped spire jutted out from the rooftops, and I swooned. It was love at first sight.
City of Love: Daytime delights
It was cold and rainy the week we were in Paris, but we didn't mind it much. We were too busy cuddling in crowded metro stations, walking hand-in-hand through the Louvre, tasting French wines and sharing foamy cappuccinos in artsy cafés. The few times we found ourselves caught in a sudden downpour, we ducked into the nearest restaurant or museum. We stumbled upon Monet's wall-size water lilies and Degas' ballerinas when we took refuge in the galleries of Musée de l'Orangerie and Musée d'Orsay, respectively. The glistening cobblestoned streets and chic umbrellas added to the dreaminess of it all; it often felt as though we were walking through an impressionistic painting.
When the sun managed to break through the clouds, we took walks along the Seine River to pick out our favorites of Paris' many ornate bridges — mine is Pont Neuf — and searched for souvenirs at an open-air flea market on our way to visit Notre-Dame and Sainte-Chapelle.
One afternoon, my husband guided me into a tiny grocery store where he purchased a crusty baguette, smoked ham and fromage for a picnic. We picked a park with an unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower and sat down to dine like vagabonds; a simple sandwich had never tasted so good.
Each day, we traipsed around the city, taking in as many of the must-see sites as our schedule would allow. Then, after lunch, we headed back to our hotel room to rest up for the evening's activities … when the City of Love transformed into the City of Light.
City of Light: Paris after dark
Twilight quickly became my favorite time of day in Paris. As the sun slipped below the horizon, the sites appeared even more fantastic as they were bathed in golden light. One of my most cherished memories of our trip was sneaking into the deserted main courtyard (Cour Napoléon) of the Louvre Palace for a glimpse of the glass pyramid at night. Our first evening in the city, we sipped champagne and sampled gourmet French cuisine on a dimly lit riverboat as we floated down the Seine.
Every now and then, the dinner cruise boat slowed down so we could admire the glowing sights and historic monuments along the riverbank through the glass ceiling. The next night, we made our way up the spiral staircase to the top of the Arc de Triomphe for a panoramic view of the city. It was bitter cold, and the wind blew my hair in all directions, but the sight of the glittering Eiffel Tower shooting up from an ocean of twinkling lights took my breath away.
Beautiful Versailles
On our last day in Paris, we hopped on the early-morning train to Versailles. I rested my head on my husband's shoulder as the metropolitan scenery morphed into tree-covered hills and captivating villages outside our window. When we arrived at our destination, we simply followed the throngs of travelers up the hill to the gilded gates of Château de Versailles.
We spent the entire day wandering through the extravagant palace rooms, talking in whispers and marveling at the flamboyance of it all, often stealing glimpses of the swirling patterns in Louis XIV's treasured gardens. Even though many of the sculptures were wrapped up and the fountains had been turned off for the season, the grounds were even more extravagant than I'd imagined. We wrapped our scarves a little tighter and headed into the maze of shrubbery with our arms linked together.
We were still making our way around the gardens when the time came for the palace to close its doors for the day. Before making our way back to the train station that evening, we warmed up with cappuccinos, then lingered at the Grand Canal to watch sleepy swans drift across its glassy surface. If we did it again, we would spend two days at Versailles.
Our cheeks still flushed from the cold and the day's excitement, we had one last meal — a simple croque monsieur with crispy pommes frites and curried ketchup — in a little restaurant across the street from the train station. Then we made the trek back to our hotel room.
As we rode the train to the airport the next morning, we were both sad to say goodbye to the city that brought so much love, light and romance to our honeymoon, but we were looking forward to starting the next chapter of our lives together. In the words of the French writer, Antoine de St-Exupéry: "Love doesn't mean gazing at each other, but looking, together, in the same direction."

Seizing front-page news, The Wrecking Ball invites playwrights to address today's top issues in theatrical form. The results, understandably, are as much about politics as they are about drama (or comedy).
The 14th edition of the Wrecking Ball, founded by director Ross Manson and playwright Jason Sherman a decade ago, tackles one of Canada's most important contemporary events, the Idle No More movement.
Writers Waawaate Fobister, Falen Johnson, Andrew Moodie, Yvette Nolan and Jordan Tannahill have a week to create their plays; directors and actors then spend a further seven days rehearsing the scripts.
The result is sure to be rough-and-ready theatre, thoughtful and filled with questions about how to change a country that ranks 6th in terms of development globally yet 66th in terms of the development of its indigenous people.
Hosted by Andre Morriseau, the evening includes a hoop dance performance by Arik Pipestem and music by Cathy Elliot.
The pwyc event on Sunday (January 27) is sure to be standing room only, so don't be late. Aki Studio Theatre, Daniels Spectrum, 585 Dundas East.

Daughter does well
The historic and emotional truths in Kenneth T. Williams's Café Daughter are sometimes overwhelming in the way they portray society's attempts to crush the human spirit.
Yvette, its central character, is the child of a Chinese father and Cree mother, raised in 50s small-town Saskatchewan. Her desire to be a doctor is initially dismissed by a school system that puts her, because of her Chinese heritage (she's been told by her mother never even to mention her native roots) in a slow learners' class.
A perceptive new principal guides her to a regular class and, later, a high school math and science teacher propels her toward a university scholarship. Or at least he does until he discovers that she's aboriginal. Still, Yvette succeeds in pursuing her passion after finding her own voice and accepting both sides of her heritage.
The Gwaandak Theatre production, presented by Native Earth Performing Arts as part of a national tour, features PJ Prudat in a dozen roles under Yvette Nolan's astute direction. Prudat is still growing into some of the male characters, but the arc she gives the main figure, whom we see at different points in her life, is finely and warmly drawn.
Wisely, Prudat defines Williams's characters both verbally and physically. The best moments involve Yvette and the fashion-conscious Maggie, a bold Metis teen who shows her there's life at school beyond textbooks. Scenes involving Yvette, her widowed father and her Cree aunt also touch the heart.
The show closed Sunday (January 20). Too bad the run was so short.
Crawford kills
We couldn't miss an opportunity to watch Gavin Crawford try out new material, so of course we went to one of his two weekend sets at the Flying Beaver Pubaret.
The This Hour Has 22 Minutes alum began by sending up Stephen Harper's recent atrocities via a famous number from The Producers renamed Springtime For Harper. There's some savage and smart material there, but it needed tweaking.
So did his lengthy monologue by Silvain, a French-Canadian flight attendant who did impressions in awkwardly imperfect English.
The comic did much better with his dead-on take on Vinyl Cafe's Stuart MacLean, capturing his nasal, folksy musings hilariously juxtaposed with some softcore porn material.
He then hit his stride taking on Hugh Jackman in a series of songs and stories that played up the actor's heterosexuality, over-emoting and inability to properly sing the songs from Les Misérables.
A series of quick takes on the characters from Downton Abbey scored big laughs, although he couldn't quite fit the lyrics into the melody of Petula Clark's song Downtown.
And a salacious sequence about Scotty Bowers's recent book about the sexual secrets of old Hollywood paid off in the night's outstanding number, which imagined Cole Porter's experiences on the gay hookup app Grindr (via his novelty song Delovely).
Crawford mentioned afterwards that he might mount a full show during Pride. Book your tickets now.
Lola eats again
One of the hits of Next Stage 2011 was Sulong Theatre's Eating With Lola, written and performed by Catherine Hernandez and directed by Ann Powell.
Since then, the show toured to South America and through the United States before returning to Toronto for a repeat run in partnership with Brave New Girls Retreats, The People Project and Glad Day Bookshop.
The family-oriented, puppet-based work features Hernandez as Grace, who must spoon-feed her feeble, bedridden Filipina Lola (grandmother). Initially she resents her job and yet worries that she can't live up to Lola's expectations.
Learning her grandmother's history, though, gives Grace a sense of her family and the trials that Lola had to undergo during the Second World War and later.
The current run raises funds for Brave New Girls Retreats, which sponsors retreats for diverse queer femmes of colour from across North America. Hosted by Kim Katrin Crosby, the retreats provide a safe place to share skills, discuss issues, meditate and heal.

WORKplay tests the waters
Do you like having a hand in shaping new theatre works?
WORKhouse Theatre returns on Friday (January 25) with its fourth evening of original scripts, providing authors with a chance to see how their works play in front of an audience and also inviting audience feedback.

Boxing sisters Kenia and Tania Enriquez of Tijuana – Just like America's duo in tennis the sisters Venus and Serena Williams, another pair of siblings from Mexico, Tania and Kenia Enriquez dream of dominating the sport of boxing. But unlike Venus and Serena, the Enriquez sisters vowed to never fight each other in the squared circle.
"I would never fight my sister," said 22-year-old Kenia Enriquez during our telephone interview last Saturday, which was translated by Felipe Leon. "I don't know if it is true or not, but I believe there is a rule where sisters and brothers cannot fight each other. I want to be like Vitali and Wladimir Klitschko, to divide the titles and have a good relationship and not to have a rivalry between us."
They do have a very close relationship and they train together.
"We train every day and we spar every day against each other," said older sister Kenia. "And even though we've been doing it for years, we still haven't been able to figure out each other's styles."
Their father, Gustavo Enriquez trains both of them at the Box Latino gym in Tijuana. The Box Latino gym is famous because it is owned by legendary Erik "El Terrible" Morales.
Boxing sisters Kenia and Tania Enriquez of Tijuana
"My sister was born with talent. Everything she does comes easy for her," said Kenia about her younger sibling.
Nineteen year old Tania Enriquez, who is also three inches taller, has amassed a professional record of 7 wins with no losses and 4 knock outs.
"For me it's a little bit tougher," continued Kenia Enriquez (15-1, 7KO'S). "I got to practice it more. My sister is more of a boxer. She is intelligent. She is a counter puncher. I try to outhustle my opponents. I try to come forward and I don't care how many punches I receive to throw mine, but I want to out muscle my opponents to beat them."
Kenia gets to put some action behind her words on April, 23rd against a very familiar opponent from San Diego, California, Amaris Quintana (9-2-2). The fight will be contested at light flyweight division.
"I know everything there is to know about her," said Kenia, a former WBO flyweight world titlist now fighting in a lower weight class. "We sparred in San Diego. I know everything she does inside the ring, every move, every punch. I don't know what weight she is going to come in, but I know that she comes forward and throws punches and I do the same so it's just the matter of who is going to be stronger and more intelligent inside the ring, but fans are going to get a great fight."
"It's going to be a border war," exclaimed veteran boxing scribe, David Avila describing their upcoming encounter at the Great Western Forum in Inglewood, California. It's part of the undercard to a main event featuring undefeated middleweight champion, Gennady Golovkin defending his titles against Domenic Wade, this contest will give female fighters major exposure in Southern California.
"I am very proud an honored to share a ring with a great fighter like Gennady Golovkin," said Kenia. "but it is also a great responsibility. I am going to bring a part of Tijuana and part of San Diego with me, maybe a thousand. I understand that 10,000 tickets have already been sold, so I have a responsibility to put on a great performance that night."
Undefeated American sensation Seniesa Estrada (5-0,1KO) will be facing Mexican Selene Lopez (3-4-3) on the same night on the same card. There have been talks about matching Kenia Enriquez and Seniesa Estrada, but at the moment Kenia has a bigger fish to fry.
"That fight has been offered to Seniesa before and could have been made but it wasn't," said Enriquez. "But I am looking to face world champions, want face the top ten in my division and Seniesa Estrada is not there. It would be a good fight, but I have nothing to gain from it right now."
Younger Tania will be by Kenia's side on April 23rd in Los Angeles. She said she gets very nervous watching her older sister fight. Both sisters said that they would love to participate at the Olympics if the Olympic committee would allow pro boxers to compete, but for now they have big dreams of becoming professional world champions. Kenia's fight at the Forum on April 23rd is a big step towards that goal. Don't miss it. Aside from two intriguing female fights there is the knock out king Gennady Golovkin and pound for pound king, Roman Gonzales featured on the fight card.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — For the second time in a row, the Pornotopia Film Festival has been canceled because of zoning issues.
Show organizers say the city won't allow them to apply for a special use permit and now they can't find a place to hold to the festival, KOB.com reports.
"We're at a standstill," said Matie Fricker, Pornotopia's Film Festival director. "We have had conflicting messages from the city about what we can and can't do in the past year."
In 2008, in its second year at the Guild Cinema in Nob Hill, the city cited the theater for breaking the adult amusement ordinance. Pornotopia appealed, but the courts upheld the ruling.
Now, the festival is required to use a building that it zoned for industrial use, but finding such a place has proved difficult.
Fricker said that there is no theater available in those areas and the places that are available are inappropriate because of fire code violations.
