"This is a much better vintage than I thought it was before my trip to Bordeaux and could turn out to be close in overall quality to years such as the underrated 2001 and 2008" Robert Parker, May 2012
The best red wines from Bordeaux's 2011 vintage have fantastic freshness, a core of ripe fruits, good tannic structure and a purity to them. However, the vintage has little of the consistency found in the 2010 and 2009, with great variations in quality within appellations. Consequently, this is a vintage that requires careful selection when purchasing.
Weather Conditions
Despite the huge technical improvements made over the last decade in Bordeaux, the one thing that winemakers cannot control is the weather. In general, the winter was cool and dry with early flowering, but the lack of Spring rainfall was to persist. From March to September, the cumulative rainfall in Bordeaux - on average across all sectors - was 270mm, way below the 30-year average of 430mm.
Temperatures were above the seasonal norm in the springtime and in late June there was a heatwave with the mercury reaching 40®c. The excessive heat combined with lack of rainfall brought the very real danger of some vines shutting down. Some grapes were scorched and these were removed from bunches. July saw rain fortunately and temperatures dropping, followed by a mixed month of August with overall cool temperatures, heat spikes and storms. Yields in some areas were also reduced by hailstorms which hit southern St Estephe and parts of Pauillac on September 1st (and in Margaux earlier on in the year).
Despite a beautifully warm and dry September, the low temperatures in July and August meant that the wines lacked the richness found in warm vintages like 1990 and 2009. Bunches and the grapes on them were small and unevenly ripe, requiring careful management of selection and sorting. This intensive work has resulted in substantially reduced yields but, where carried out successfully, consistent and ripe fruits.
The grapes were concentrated and ripe but more fragile than 2010 and 2009. A light touch was needed in vinification, so as not to extract too much, and the most successful wines are those that took this approach.
The Wines
This is a year of very mixed quality. The selection work needed meant that Chateaux with labour and financial resources have generally made better wines that those without, meaning that the top estates have a clear advantage.
It is clearly not a 'great' vintage like 2010, 2009, 2005, or 2000, but it seems superior to 2006, 2004 and 2002, and there are some very, very good wines. Perhaps 2001 or 2008, are the nearest equivalents and probably 1996 stylistically. There will be some good drinking wines here and certainly the best wines are precise, fresh and elegant with the structure to age.
The Whites
Far more consistent were the dry white wines and Sauternes. The dry whites fare the best following cool summer months, with the extra warmth of September giving an exotic, tropical fruit character. Those who picked at the best time have made stunning wines, with rich fruit and minerality in balance.
For Sauternes, quality is excellent, with bright fruit and precise acidity. As Sandrine Garbay, the winemaker of Chateau d'Yquem says: "Conditions were perfect for the development of noble rot this year. The warm, dry September enabled botrytis to spread easily and the resultant wines have a wonderful perfume, purity and freshness".

Protest for higher wages planned at Greensboro Walmart
Protest for higher wages planned at Greensboro Walmart
A labor group is demanding higher wages and full-time work for North Carolina Walmart workers as the holiday shopping season ramps up.
The AFL-CIO affiliate for workers without a union plans to protest Monday outside a Greensboro Walmart store. The group called Working America says it wants the nation's largest retail store chain to pay its employees $15 per hour.
The Greensboro event comes more than a week after the pressure tactics against Walmart led to a sit-in protest at a Los Angeles-area store. Nearly two dozen people were arrested after California authorities say blocked traffic.

"Imagine everyday what you want to create tomorrow" – Toshiaki Omori
In this little clip by Adidas, they let us catch a glimpse of one of what they call "adivisionaries", Mr. Toshiaki Omori. He is one of the personalities/designers that have fashioned the path of the brand we know today.
Starting his career over half a century ago, Mr. Toshiaki does not consider himself a craftsman but rather a creator. Designing for Adidas since 1999, Omori is always conscious about the design process in his work. His goal to create "world-class designs" where most of his effort is placed into technique and hand-crafted skills, creating shoes without digital tools, but with the end user and developers in mind.
He is great inspiration to all designers, an example of someone that has found a job that gives him/her joy and fulfillment….a goal for everyone to achieve.Comments (0)

President Toone called last night. He talked to both Elder Diaz and I. Elder Diaz is training. The second he said he wanted to talk to me my heart dropped since I knew it would mean I would leave. He asked me to 'step up' and then later to pack my bags.
I have loved this area. I've loved this district. District meetings were always so much fun and I loved preparing the training and whatnot. I was hoping to stay there for a long time since it is a more personal calling. I'm still working on making myself be excited because mostly I'm just sad to leave.
Right now we have six people getting baptized, easily, in August. Six! Ahhh! This is what happened to Elder Sawyer, he got transferred right before six people he taught got baptized. I'll be sad to miss the baptisms.
So in short: I'm getting transferred. Three months of happiness here in Chandler serving in one of the best wards. I'm going to miss the members, the recent converts, and our roommates and Elder Diaz.
Yesterday at church we finally saw the fruits of all our labors with the members. Members had brought friends to church! There were 5 there that members had brought all on their own! After our talks last week and all our visits it's finally paying off. When we got to this area the members didn't trust the missionaries and there was nothing going on. I'm so happy I got to see it turn around and am devastated not to see the amazing results that are just around the corner.
Speaking of results. We had two baptisms this past Saturday!! They were awesome. We started fifteen minutes late since one of the soon-to-be-recent-converts
roommates started fighting him and threatening to call the cops. Baptisms are never easy....
And then during the service the person who said the prayer only prayed for one of the two and then the first speaker forgot one of their names....Ahhhhhh I was dying! But fortunately a comic relief saved the day. When one of them came out of the water (baptized by the bishop) he did the catholic cross thing with his hands and everyone started laughing. I got to baptize one of them and it was an amazing experience. Ahhh, I love baptisms. One we had to do after since he was super late ha.
At church when he got the gift of the holy ghost he just sat in his chair afterwards and looked up slowly and said quietly, "what peace....what happiness..." and then gave us all hugs.
That was the most amazing sacrament meeting I've ever been to. There was a missionary returning, leaving, and the two confirmations. In between the talks the mother and her friend got up to sing to her departing daughter (Chicago, Illinois) and choked up and had to stop while her friend kept singing. For the last few lines the mother turned around and just looked at her daughter while she sang. The lyrics were all about handing her daughter over to the Lord and watching her grow etc etc. The spirit in that room was tangible.
Someone asked us this week if we had horns.
We had a pretty cool experience with an investigator. She is going to ask her mom if she can be baptized. We had her pretend that Elder Diaz was her mom and she practiced what to say. In that little role play she bore her testimony and it was super super powerful. Dangit I'l miss that baptism too!
One of the Sister Training Leaders (STLs) from the Mesa zone was over at our dinner appointment doing exchanges. She did the dinner message but used her iPad Mini to show a video clip from President Eyring. It was waaaaay cool. Jealous!
Chandler is being taken over by Tesla Model S's! They're way sleek.
This week Elder Janis is working me out hard this week haha. Last monday I told him to make me an exercise plan that I can do everyday for the next months. He took it to heart. He was a fitness trainer back home and is watching everything I eat and making us get up at 6 to do 30 mins of cardio and 30 mins of weights. I'm eating about 1700 calories a day and lots of Chia seeds. They taste terrible haha. I gave up chocolate. I know, crazy, right?
A little bit of background real quick. Mexicans love Novelas. Soap operas. This week we were teaching someone who said, "You know, I think the scriptures are a lot like Novelas." He stopped talking because I was laughing too hard. He never explained it hahahahahahahahhahaa.
We had an amazing meeting this past week. The Chandler East stake called all the ward council members, bishops, and missionaries in the stake together for a training. President and Sister Toone came and they trained on how to focus ward councils and meetings on missionary work. It was an amazing meeting.
But I think my favorite part was when P. Toone spoke. He shared some awesome stories in response to some questions about the iPads. He said that while he was in the MTC being trained they had a training on the iPads and Tracy Watson, director of global proselyting, took out his iPad and said, "Hey, want to see where the missionaries in the Texas ____ mission are?" He then opened it and had real time tracking on them. But he quickly clarified and said, "Tracking them isn't the point." He said the Brethren and the Mission Presidents have complete access to lively monitor iPad usage. They can see when the last time the electronic area book was updated, the plans for the day, etc. Then he said again, "But tracking them isn't the point." He went on to tell some stories of the power behind the technology. The first story goes like this:
A woman calls the 1-800 referral number requesting a Book of Mormon. The missionary at HQ on the other line notices she lives in an area that is piloting iPads. The missionary sends a text to the mission president who sends one to the zone asking if any missionaries are nearby. One missionary, using the iPad, gets all the information, coordinates with the missionary at HQ, and replies, "I'm two doors away. I'm on my way over now." Before the woman calling HQ hangs up the phone, the missionary is at the door with the item she requested. Her response, "How did you do that?!"
True story.
Another one. A husband is married to a member. He isn't a member. He decides to take missionary discussions but is a truck driver so never has time. The missionaries commit him to pull out Skype at rest stops. Over his 10 day trip they taught him everything over Skype as he traveled from Utah to New York. They coordinated church building locations and then skyped with him and his family after church. The man was amazed that the lessons in New York were the same in Utah and they shared thoughts on the lesson 10 days later the man returned, ready for baptism.
True story.
The concern came up about missionaries abusing it. President Toone said, "We know. But the Brethren have said the Lord has created this for the spreading of the Gospel. The Brethren said it is too powerful not to use and if there are problems, they will deal with them as they come and they will learn better ways to control them, but "this tool needs to be used now."'
In the next 6 months we should have them mission wide.
This Wednesday the mission is receiving 41 new missionaries. 1/3rd the mission will be training.
I set a goal for myself to read the Book of Mormon in 6 weeks. That's about 115 pages a week. I'm 60 pages into it and it's going really really well.
One of our recent converts told us the funniest story this week. His friend was baptized a Jehovah's Witness and they said that when he comes out of the water he should, "see Jehovah standing." So the first time he got baptized he said he saw nothing. They baptized him again. Again he said he saw nothing. Four to five times they baptized him and then finally he came out of the water gasping saying, "Yes, I saw them!" The newly-baptized JW told our recent convert that he felt like he was drowning and so he just told them. Our recent convert was dying of laughter while telling us the story aahha
This week our recent convert told us, "Science has a limit. God doesn't." It was super insightful. He was telling us about the opposition he received in deciding to be baptized. His other pastor started anti-ing him. Just like last time, our recent convert anti'd him back and won haha. The story was super intense and our recent convert said words were coming to him and he didn't know where they were coming from.
We have been having a big problem recently at church. We have too many investigators to sit with and we don't have time to talk with them all? I love that problem. It's my favorite problem to have. Last week we had 8 at church and this week we had 6. We have really good relationships with our members. When we walked into ward council meeting they all got up and gave us hugs. Ah I'll miss this ward.
Last night someone freaked out at us and started screaming at us. We were talking with a woman in an apartment complex and a very heavily tatooed man ran at us screaming TONS of obscenities, calling us names, and telling us we can't solicit. We don't solicit, we invite. By Arizona law that is recognized but no one knows that. So he screamed and screamed and threatened to call the cops on us. I wanted to tell him to do it because they'd be on our side but we just walked away. I was worried for our member, an 85 year old. Later his neighbor apologized and explained that we can't be there for soliciting. We explained to her that we're allowed to be there and then left.
Anyway, this has been an awesome three months. I've learned a ton and have grown a ton. I'm excited for what's ahead!
Thanks for all your support everyone! Thanks for writing Eric, Will, Mom, and Natalia!
With love

I was lucky enough to get my hands on a copy of Zenn Scarlett from our local library. I've heard of this series and its author since I started attending ICON a couple years ago. It didn't take me long to become absorbed in Zenn's world and her love of animals.
Living on a colonized Mars in a cloister, Zenn is fighting for her independence, her love of animals and her desire to become an exovet, a veterinarian who specializes in alien creatures. All of this as she is starting to notice boys (no love triangle here, folks!), struggling with the whereabouts of her absent father and a colony that it struggling to survive. Zenn and her positive attitude come shining through bringing the story together with her adventures and investigations.
Zenn is surrounded by some very curious creatures—some of them she cares for and others she works with, namely Hamish. I adored Hamish. He provided a bit of comic relief as he struggled to escape the hive mentality he was a part of and find a way to fit into human culture and norms with in the cloister. Zenn and her uncle handled Hamish's hive habits well and provided him with the knowledge he needed to grow. When Hamish came on the scene I couldn't help but find myself smiling as I was learning about life on Mars and caring for alien creatures right along side of him.
Zenn Scarlett receives a thumbs up from me. Schoon created a believable settlement on Mars with a diverse set of aliens and a intriguing mystery that kept me turning the pages. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on Under Nameless Stars.
Just as a warning Zenn Scarlett ends in a cliffhanger. While all the major elements are tied up at the end of the book, there is one looming question related to Zenn that is just starting to be revealed. So if you are not a fan of cliffhangers, you may wish to hold off on grabbing this one up. If you can get your hands on both books in quick succession, grab them and fly to Mars with Zenn and her amazing menagerie of alien animals today!

Second Battle of El Alamein, 1942.
The Second Battle of El Alamein (23 October – 11 November 1942) took place near the Egyptian coastal city of El Alamein. With the Allies victorious, it marked a major turning point in the Western Desert Campaign of the Second World War. It followed the First Battle of El Alamein, which had stalled the Axis advance into Egypt, after which, in August 1942, Lieutenant-General Bernard Montgomery had taken command of the British Eighth Army from General Claude Auchinleck.

Guns N' Roses Drummer Admits to Getting Hair Loss Treatment
One of the founding members of American rock band Guns N' Roses has spoken about seeking out treatment for hair loss.
Steven Adler was once a bouffant blond in the infamous five-piece alongside legendary guitarist Slash – whose hair is almost as famous as his axe skills. Adler explains in a podcast how he recently sought out professional help for his thinning hair because he didn't like the shape of his head. He says that his "lumpy" dome, as he describes it, would not look good bald.
The drummer is losing hair to the genetic condition Male Pattern Baldness, and at 52 he is evidently in the unlucky half of all men in that age bracket who carry what's often termed "the balding gene."
'Middle age' blamed
Adler came clean on the weekly podcast of US comedian and writer Bill Burr, and said that: "I have that disease where I'm losing my hair – it's called middle age, and it's going to happen to everyone."
While middle age is certainly inevitable, Male Pattern Hair Loss is not. As an inherited condition, it is something of a genetic lottery as to who it is passed on to, and therefore possible that some men will not have the relevant genes. This is also why it is possible for male pattern baldness to skip a generation in families. As the most common hair loss condition in the world, however, the lion's share of men will be affected by the time they are in their 70s, though signs often start in their late 20s to 30s.
The good news for those who have inherited it is that Male Hair Loss treatment is within the grasp of millions, and when it is overseen by a specialist clinic – who can combine clinically-proven products with innovative hair growth boosters – then the outlook is often promising. In fact, non-invasive hair loss treatment courses can help to both stop the shedding and encourage regrowth – and it's something that Adler says countless rock stars have quietly undertaken. "Dude, there's a list a mile long," he told Burr. Continues below…
The American is certainly not the only celebrity to have blamed an unlovable head shape as the reason they have asked for expert help to stave off baldness. TFI Friday and BBC Radio 2 presenter Chris Evans once bantered with Elton John that he was losing his hair and said that it was only those men with a head shaped like "a peanut" who suited the bald look. Patrick Stewart, Jason Statham and Bruce Willis, he said, were all fine.
Elton John, whose abundant locks hint at a hairpiece, said that he, too, wasn't keen on rocking the bald look as his head shape make him "look like Shrek".
Transplant or treatment?
Although he does say 'treatment', it is unclear from his comments whether Steven Adler was actually referring to hair transplant surgery or non-surgical, pharmaceutical hair loss treatment. Given the royalties from Guns N' Roses multi-million selling Appetite for Destruction album alone, it is likely that the £5,000 – £20,000+ in surgical restoration costs would be well within his grasp if he did decide to take that route.
Non-invasive hair loss treatment for men can work out as a much more affordable option, however, and is often preferred as results happen gradually – meaning no awkward, jaw-dropping "What have you done?!" moments when a man suddenly walks out sporting a shaved head with tell-tale bloodied red dots from the graft incisions. It is a more private approach whereby, in many cases, a daily oral tablet – finasteride 1mg – is taken to inhibit the enzyme responsible for genetic hair thinning, and high strength minoxidil – a topical drug – is applied to the scalp once or twice per day, as advised. Hair health food supplements and various home-based and clinical therapies can also be added in to the mix to help boost the effects of these cornerstone treatments.
What is quite interesting is that if Adler is only now showing signs of thinning, he seems to have escaped any kind of escalation of genetic hair loss that is sometimes caused by a less than clean-living lifestyle. Adler has previously spoken and written about his once appalling diet and his former addiction to drink and drugs – not to mention the stress he endured after being sexually abused in his teens – and in some cases such a brutal regime on both mind and body can make androgenetic alopecia happen earlier than it otherwise would, and/or with increased intensity.

Sometimes, you just gotta relax a little. Here's something to help with that:
Gays Themes In The Theater? Say It Ain't So!
Soooo, a principal in the central part of my Glorious Commonwealth of Pennsylvania but the kibosh on a production of Spamalot because of 'homosexual themes':
Personally, I'm amused by the idea that a principal was afraid that a musical might expose students to 'gay' ideas. Because if there's one place a kid wouldn't otherwise be exposed to anything gay in a small-town high school, that would be the place.
Why do I even have to explain this?
The '92 Penguins Victory Leads To A Very Bad Decision On My Part
Sooo, today's Daily Post asks for a memorable moment involving a sporting event. Some of these prompts are tricky, but not this. I got this one covered.
It was June of 1992 and the Pittsburgh Penguins just swept the Chicago Blackhawks to win the Stanley Cup. Woo Hoo! My friends and were at a bar in the Oakland section of Pittsburgh when this happened. Like almost everyone else, we poured out of the bar, down the stairs, and out into the street to hoot and holler with everyone else around. It was your typical evening of (thankfully minor league) mayhem that follows a sports championship. After a few minutes of jumping and cheering, my 21 year-old self looked at some of the other loonies that had climbed on top of a city bus. "What a great idea. I wanna do that too!" my youthful, drunken, and possibly, er, "smoked out" self thought. And so, I made my climb via the back of the bus to its top. Boy oh boy, was I having fun! But then, I heard warnings from below that the cops were coming. Uh-oh. Better get outta there! I looked down and two strangers told me to jump. "Come on! We'll catch you!" they cried out. "No no no, I'm good man!" I yelled back (or something to that effect) and then hopped off the bus. And then, POP! I felt something snap in my left ankle. There was a brief flash of pain but then that was gone and replaced with a swelling numbness and an inability to stand on that leg. As others were either still celebrating I found myself in a state of panic and possibly mild shock as I limped around the street yelling "CHAS!!! CHAS!!!" as I looked for my college roommate. I eventually found him and one of his fraternity brothers after what seemed like an eternity (read: 5-10 minutes). The next I remember is limping into his car and going to the nearest emergency room. One long, painful wait later, and I found myself fitted with a nice plaster cast. I would be wearing it for the next six weeks. During that time, I learned about the unique pleasures of showering while injured, hobbling around on crutches, and why pencils and rulers are your best friend when you get an itch beneath a cast. It wasn't my greatest moment, to be sure. Still, my sister pointed out to me a few years ago that I was just being young and stupid and that I should just laugh about it. Plus, she pointed out, it makes for a good story. And she was right. And there you have it, that's my story involving a sporting event.
Writing 101: Day Four – The Mix Tape That Might Have Been
So, Writing 101 bids us to write about loss. I could get into some heavy stuff, but I prefer to keep it light tonight. So, let me tell yinz about a mix tape that went *poof* just as it was taking shape.
It was the spring of 1991, and there weren't no interwebs. No sir, if you wanted to mix and match songs, you hadda go out and record 'em off of another cassette or CD. You hadda work for it! It took not only time and effort to record each song but it was often a challenge to search for and physically gather the music you wanted to record also. It could take weeks. As a result, it often became a challenge to build one that stood out. Sure, you could just blandly copy a favorite release from a friend to save a few bucks or just slap together a few random favorites of yours, but that wasn't very satisfying in the long run. No, if you wanted something that would satisfy you and impress your friends and (hoped for) loved ones, you had to stretch your creative muscles and put a lot of thought and effort into it.
Now, one route was to build one based on a theme of some sort. It could be, say, a mix tape filled only with songs that featured the saxaphone in them (something you don't hear a lot of these days – R.I.P. Clarence!) or maybe your best-of alternative breakup songs. Or, you could go for eclecticism. The tape I was building that spring was headed that way.
It started with a trip to Washington D.C. with a friend (He would later become a roommate and in the process a bitter enemy. But that's another story.) I had made at WPTS, Pitt's radio station. I was working as a news reader and he was the news director. We hit it off, and so I hopped a ride down to D.C. with him one weekend in late March on a road trip. On the way down and back, he played a most excellently varied tape of his own. It had everything from "Istanbul (Not Constantinople)" to a couple of comedy bits to "Master of the House" from Les Miserables. I was suitably impressed – and inspired. And so, I got to work. I shamelessly borrowed his tape to copy "Istanbul" and "Master" but then followed my muse. I manged to find N.W.A.'s "100 Miles and Running" and included it. Best of all, I managed to get one of my fellow radio station news readers (and also future roommate – also part of that other story) to copy the theme to Late Night With David Letterman. I'm talking the original version that played to the opening of his NBC show, back when he was mean, bitchy, and awesomely hilarious in his own gonzo way. That theme. Oh yeah. He had to go in a record it from the old, blocky 8-track type radio cart tapes onto cassette. That was the icing on the cake. I was on a roll now, I was putting together something special, it was lightning in a bottle.
Or so it might have been. Joe asked to borrow the tape just before the end of spring semester in late April of '91. I agreed. And that was the end of that. I never saw it again. I should have taken it as dark omen of that guy's ways, too, but again, that's another story, and I was young and naive. Still, that loss hurt. Sure, I would go on to make more mix tapes in the years to come, but it was never quite the same. I never had the drive to craft something truly special. My muse had left me by then. I still mourn the loss of that tape, and now, in this era of digital music, it's too late. Putting together a song list isn't the same. What takes 5 minutes now could have taken, as I alluded, 5 weeks back then. Farewell, oh fading ember of my youth. You are gone, but never forgotten.

Not a best time to reveal the Renault Clio
Pros : Amazing looks, high ground clearance together with low turning radius
Cons : Sluggish past performance of the company, compact chain of service centers
Hi All, its Shreya Arora from Udaipur. I love cars very much and am very overwhelmed with the performance of the French manufacturer "Renault" who after continuous failures have been trying diligently hard to achieve success and yes their efforts are paying them well, Renault with the marvelous success of Duster is looking forward to launch Clio, it's another model for the hatch back lovers but the question arises, is it a good time to launch another when the company is facing trouble maintaining its existing array of vehicles. Scala, Pulse and Fluence are the cars they need to concentrate on before going with anymore launches; it's great they have been able to create an image in the minds of Indian customers with the Duster and if this is properly utilized can help the brand establish themselves with deep roots.
Irrespective of going with anymore launches, it's the demand of time to have a fair look at the present umbrella in order to strengthen the long term prospects of the brand on Indian terrain and this can well be achieved by catching on the popularity of the mighty Duster, now this a tedious task but I know they are well equipped to do it, the only thing required is to think smartly. Renault Clio is a gorgeous beauty which can be used for the extension of the brand's horizon, it's a product designed to serve the customers with the French values and can be used as a potential futuristic weapon but using all the weapons all together can prove to be a disaster which company is not in a position to bear.
Keeping my fingers crossed and giving a tight view to the company's strategy, I hope they will give fair amount of thought towards this dimension too. A bright future lies ahead for the company so why not encash good return on the current investment irrespective of going for a fresh outflow.

Radish and Carrot Salad
Photo: Karry Hosford
This simple dish serves as a cool, refreshing break from spicier foods. You'll almost always see some version at a Korean meal. It's traditionally made with moo (sweet Korean radish), but daikon radish is more readily available and makes a fine substitute. Salting the daikon helps extract some of its bitterness.
How to Make It
Step 1
Combine daikon and salt, tossing well to coat. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water; drain. Combine daikon and carrot.
Step 2
Combine vinegar, sugar, and mirin, stirring until sugar dissolves. Drizzle over daikon mixture; toss to combine. Cover and chill.

Why is the Singapore government trapping and killing Singapore's long-tailed macaques? That's the question asked as an estimated 20% of the existing wild monkeys in Singapore has been killed in the first half of the year. According to the the Agri-food and Veterinary Authority (AVA), this is done due to rising complaints from residents on Singapore's "monkey problem".
What "monkey problem"?
I have been living near Mount Faber most of my life and I see wild monkeys all the time. I never have a problem with them. Hell, I look forward to seeing them as I jog. It's fun to see them.
At least it is to me because I sometime happen to see people who have no idea what to do when they see a monkey. Young adults and teenagers are especially bad because some of them don't even dare go close to the monkeys.
Honestly, Singapore does not have a "monkey problem". We have a "humans who do not know how to interact with nature" problem.

About Canberra
While many people make the mistake of calling Sydney the capital city of Australia, the honour actually goes to Canberra. Canberra was chosen to be the capital city of Australia in 1908 to prevent rivalry between the already established cities of Melbourne and Sydney.
Canberra was laid out by Walter Burley Griffin and the layout features an interesting array of circles and hexagons, with some of the main buildings such as Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial built in a symmetrical line.
Most people who live in Canberra are employed by the public service or contractors for the Australian government. Development is kept under strict control in Canberra which helps to keep property values high.
Canberra is located in the Australian Capital Territory, or ACT. All land in the ACT is owned by the government and residents can only get 99-year leases.
Canberra is divided into the following areas:
Canberra Central
Woden Valley
Weston Creek
Molonglo Valley
Canberra's Top Real Estate Agents
There are a couple of leading real estate agents in Canberra that are performing head and foot over the competition. Canberra is a small city, but it does still pay to find an agent who knows the local suburb well, where your property is located.
If you would like to be put in touch with the top three performing agents in Canberra, please contact us here.
Canberra's Property Outlook
There a number of factors which can influence Canberra's property market. The government of the day is obviously one of the most important influences. Canberra is in someways connected to Sydney's market and Sydney's popularity does have a spill over affect to Canberra. Rental returns are also good in Canberra, which makes it popular with property investors.
The Australia National University or ANU is popular with overseas and inter-state students, which provides demand also for rental properties. Chinese investors are also showing an interest in Canberra, especially those with children studying at ANU.
The median house price is just over $560,000 in Canberra, making it one of the more affordable places to live in Australia as unemployment is low and wages high.
Canberra's Best Suburbs to Live
Walter Burley Griffin's plan for Canberra was to create a number of satellite cites, that were separated by nature reserves, while connected with transport routes. Lake Burley Griffin divides north and south Canberra. Canberra is well known for being very family friendly with many good schools.
Yarralumla: Yarralumla has a low crime rate and is next to Lake Burley Griffin. It has many parks and ovals and daycare centres for people with young children.
Kingston: Kingston has many great restaurants and coffee shops. It is a short 10 minutes walk to the lake and Kingston markets and parks.
Gungahlin – Up and coming area. Has a great community and popular with families. It has good sporting facilities including running and cycling tracks, parks and playgrounds.
Jerrabomberra – is just over the border in New South Wales, but in easy commuting distance to Canberra. It is a very community based place to live.
Belconnen – Belconnen was Canberra's second satellite city to be built. It has good shooping areas and is home to the University of Canberra. It is regarded as a family friendly place to live.
Tuggeranong – Located on the shores of Lake Tuggeranong. It is a family friendly place, with a good community feel. The new lakeside development will also transform the city to a more lively place to live.
Canberra forde – many new, good schools and well set up for families.

Written by: Personalias
Dante sat in the stroller, eyes blank. Time and feeling had decided to take a backseat yet again. His intellect though was already playing catch up. It all made sense, now: The baby instinctively reaching for Lysa's breasts, Lysa's death glare at the wet nurse, Jamal's crack about maternal instinct. Lysa saying she would never lactate, get pregnant or have her period AGAIN. God, how could he have been so naïve? (To be fair, he thought the AGAIN only applied to her period.)
Even the Judy's insistence on Caroline being Lysa's baby "sister", made some sense. The Judy's were determined to baby everyone, and no matter what the figure of speech was, babies simply couldn't have babies. That just wouldn't go with their methods or programming or whatever it was that made them do what they do. So instead, the Judy's created a lie, and Lysa went along with it. But why?
"Lysa," Dante said, feeling an ache as his emotions thought to creep in. "why the hell did you lie to me about who Caroline was?" Lysa looked deep into Dante's eyes, her pigtails framing her face. Her tough façade melted, and she became softer. Her lip quivered a little.
"I was scared to tell you," she said. "I thought you would judge me. That you'd condemn me as some whore who got knocked up and not listen to what I have to say."
"Really?" Dante asked.
"Really." Lysa said. "I told Dori the truth about me, and she completely turned her back on me. She thought, she was better than me. She ignored everything I had to tell her; everything that Jorge had taught me before he finally ran for it.
"Without me, or anyone else, she slipped away. First she started wetting and not realizing it, then she started baby babbling. Then one day she went to sleep, and when she woke up, she was pretty much like you know her now. She's a lot nicer to hang out with now, but I still miss the real her, even if she was a bit of a bitch."
Dante couldn't imagine Midori as anything other than a babbling kidfant. Had Midori once been a regular girl? A raver maybe, or a bit of a know-it-all catty bitch? The Midori he knew was such a simple creature. All she was concerned with was attention, affection, and what she could and could not put in her mouth. Little things like who you were before she knew you or what was going on in her underwear didn't matter to her.
"I didn't want that to happen to you, and it was still the first day," Lysa told him, "so I lied to make things simpler."
"Simpler?" Dante asked. "What do you mean?"
Lysa's eyes remained sincere; honest. Her jaw set. "If I had told you that my parents had given me up for adoption when I was little, because they couldn't afford me, AND that I was an unwed teenage mother, AND that my foster father and foster mother were the ones that were arguing that night…about me and my daughter. Would you have believed me?"
"Yeah…" Dante said. Lysa pinched his cheek a little bit and gave her sad smile as they were rolled back into the Limbo nursery. It was just after nap time, and so the nursery was opened up into a free for all; toys and babies scattered all over the place.
"Well then," she said. "That means you're either a horrible liar, or a really swell guy, Dante." Her eyes darted down, the sad smile still on her face. She was glowing, really. Well, not literally…but…skip it. As soon as she was unbuckled from the stroller, she leaned over and gave Dante a peck on the cheek. Awesome.
He was about to reciprocate when the Judy lifted him out of the stroller and shifted him over to his hip; the front of his diaper squishing as she moved him. Oh yeah. That. Lysa was helped out of the stroller, and crawled away to go play. Dante was carried over to a nearby changing table and was laid on it.
As the Judy undid the tapes, Dante buzzed at having just been kissed. It wasn't much of a kiss, just a peck on the cheek, really. Still, it felt amazing. With him figuring out how to use the potty today, and then feeling Lysa's soft lips on his cheek today might be the best –
"Looks like someone likes having their diaper changed!" the Judy noted Dante's growing erection at the thought of his playmate. Dante grimaced slightly at that comment, made worse by the cold wipes beings dragged across his groin. He was aroused because a girl that he liked had kissed him, not because he had peed his Pampers! (Wait, these weren't Pampers. Not Huggies either. No diaper brand really looked like these things. Cherubs? Angel's Choice? Cushies? Naw. Who would name a diaper brand that?)
"Wow, Dante," the angel went on, "we made it just in time, bubba. You were THIS close to leaking." She finished wiping Dante, balled up the used diaper (Bambino? Cuddlez? Comfies? Oh Skip it! A baby diaper is a baby diaper), and threw it in a nearby trashcan. "You must be dehydrated, mister."
Hold on. Dante could have sworn that not twenty minutes ago, Judy had proclaimed Dante only "a little wet." Had Dante really wet his diaper even more since he was checked? He hadn't even noticed. Was everything he gained while around his grandparents leaving him already? He took his thumb out of his mouth when the Judy offered him up a bottle of apple juice. (When the hell did he stick his thumb in his mouth?!)
He sucked down the apple juice as his bum was lowered onto a fresh diaper. How do you use the potty? Remember. Remember. First you need to- his stream of thought was interrupted by another stream coming out of him. "Whoopsie!" the Judy giggled as she quickly and deftly yanked the diaper up to block the air born urine. Most of it was soaked up by the diaper. Just a little got on the changing table and the floor. None of it, of course, got on the Judy.
Dante giggled, then gurgled a bit around the nipple of his ba-ba. He was drinking juice-juice and going pee-pee at the same time. That felt good. And Mama Judy was so silly! She was making those faces at him while she held the front of the diaper down to cover him up. "Geez, Dante", Mama Judy smiled sweetly down at him. "you could give me a little warning next time." Dante smiled up at her. "You couldn't have done that earlier? Or at least wait till I had the diaper all the way up? Oh well," she smirked, peeling the sodden garment back, "here we go again."
Something was wrong. Dante shook himself awake and yanked the bottle from his lips. He wasn't even drinking milk, and was acting like a complete idiot. Going pee-pee while drinking a ba-ba…fuck…urinating while drinking, was something Midori would do, not Dante. He wasn't even paralyzed on the changing table, he realized. He had had almost total motor control while the Judy was changing him. It seemed anytime he let his mind wander, babyish thoughts and tendencies came right in and made themselves at home in his brain. He might have had a brief respite by the gates of Heaven, but back in Limbo, he was still making negative progress.
The Judy finished changing him for the second time in a row, and sat him down on the floor. Dante quickly crawled over to a corner to sulk in peace. He didn't want Lysa, or anyone seeing him like this. The fact that he was dressed like Tommy Pickles, and had no way to hide his diaper made him feel more self-conscious after what had just happened. If he had been wearing shortalls or even a onesie, he could have maintained some form of dignity. Instead, all he had on was a T-shirt that came down to his belly-button, and a bulky diaper on full display between his legs.
Speaking of which, the bulk between his legs seemed a little, well, bulkier. Was he wearing a thicker diaper? Were they padding him up because of his extra wetting? Or worse yet- Dante remembered something about newborn diapers being relatively bulkier- were they getting him ready for the…DON'T. EVEN. THINK. ABOUT. IT.
Dante poked at his crotch and experimentally tried to bring his legs together. All the same. No difference. Just his imagination. The extra puffiness was just in his head. Jamal Adams crawled up to his corner of solitude. As always, Jamal wore his usual asshole smile, as well as a white t-shirt and denim shortalls. (Son of a bitch). You could barely see where the diaper was unless you knew what to look for.
"Heeeeey buddy," Jamal said, all teeth, not even trying to conceal his insincerity. "Hoooow-ya-doin?" he sang.
"Fuck off, dude. I'm in no mood." Dante tensed, "I know what just happened by the changing table, alright. You can go around making fun of me. Just leave me alone."
"For the record, kid," Jamal replied, "it's not like everyone just stops and watches every time the Judy's gather 'round you so they can see you humiliate yourself." he paused. "But yes, I did see it, and likely so did most of the playroom the way you two were carrying on. Her all cheery and giggly that you were pissing into the wind, and you acting like you…that is to say, a freakshow baby."
Dante just stared at him. It would be so totally worth it to punch him in the face. Right now. One swing.
"Anyway," Jamal went on, ignoring Dante's death glare, "I just thought I take my time to say my goodbyes."
"Where are you going?" Dante asked. Shit. He just walked into that one.
"I'm not going anywhere, kid." Jamal answered, "It's you." (Told ya.) When a kid starts acting like well, how YOU were just a minute ago without the aid of angel milk, that means their getting close to the threshold." Dante was confu-
"And before you cock an eyebrow and go 'Threshold?'," Jamal interrupted Dante's train of thought, "let me break it down for ya. You're close to crossing the line, kid, that point of no return. A few more awkward steps, and everything that you are takes a permanent vacation, and everything that you were circa- I'm guessing 1995?- takes up residence. Nice knowin' ya kid."
Dante bit his lip. He wanted to argue, but he couldn't right then. He just couldn't. Jamal tilted his head, and an emotion that might have been sympathy crossed his face.
"Well this isn't nearly as fun as I thought it would be," he said. He sat against a wall so that he was more or less sitting beside Dante instead of in front of him. "Look kid," Jamal said, dropping his arm around Dante all chummy-like, "if it makes you feel any better, it's not really your fault. You never really stood a chance." Dante didn't reply or ask. He just listened.
"I'm guessing you had a relatively normal and stable life, am I right? Sure I am." Jamal went on, not waiting for Dante to respond. "Your parents loved you, you loved them, all that good stuff. Kids like you? You don't last here in this place. You just don't. You have all of these happy, fuzzy memories of child hood. That way, it's easier to slip back into those old roles. You secretly want to, even if you don't want to admit it." He took his arm away.
"Me and the rest of us who survive here- not so much. None of us had it good back then, so we keep our sanity now. Take Kevin over there." he pointed to Kevin, the play-doh kid. "Kevin died of AIDS, before they even really knew what AIDS was. Bad blood transfusion or something.
"He was so angry with life that he got kicked out of 3 different schools for fighting. Funny thing is, everyone was so scared of catching his AIDS, that nobody ever fought back; they didn't want to make him bleed. He told me once that he started making the play-doh people when he was a kid to use them like voo-doo dolls on the kids he picked fights with.
"Vivian," Jamal pointed to her who was even now making an exquisite piece of art using nothing but finger paint and construction paper, "is a genius. But she has a rare mental disorder that makes it impossible for her to differentiate the passage of time. If you pissed her off once a year ago, all of those feelings, all that anger, that hurt, is just as fresh to her now as if you had just insulted her today. Even I don't mess with her. I hear the painting helps with that though. Meh."
"You know what little Dori was?" Jamal asked rhetorically. "A schoolgirl. An average school girl that had the bad luck to get hit by a drunk driver. But she's all better now. And soon you will be, too." Midori was busy rolling on the floor and giggling at the top of her lungs.
"And what about you?" Dante asked. "What's your story?"
"I'd tell you kid." Jamal answered, "But seeing as how you just got changed into a fresh one, I'd hate to ruin it by telling you. Besides, you forgot to ask about your little Lysa." Dante's eyes narrowed. "I saw the kiss. Good huh? That kiss means that she has you wrapped around her finger. Did she tell you that you were a swell guy? She loves that line.". Dante wanted to tell Jamal where he could stick it. He wanted to punch Jamal's teeth down his throat, but something made him stay silent and still.
"Lysa's the oldest kid still sane in this place." Jamal whispered, "She's a true survivor. Fuck, she might be my role model if she wasn't a sociopath and a compulsive liar." He shot Dante a smile. It wasn't friendly. "She tell you one about how her dad killed her little sister, then she killed him and offed herself in grief?"
"It was her daughter, and her foster father." Dante growled.
"Oh, so you already caught her in that first lie, eh?" Jamal hissed. "That's her favorite. You must have had her cornered for her to whip out her backup. If you call her on that one, she does a one-eighty and is the hooker with the heart of gold. You really think she killed herself?"
"She did kill herself," Dante insisted.
"Wake up kid!" Jamal practically shouted. Then backed down to a whisper. "Suicides don't last here. They don't make it a month, yet alone close to sixty years. Self-haters didn't have the will to go on in the first life. Why would they persevere in the after-life? Besides, she keeps fucking one big thing up." He shuffled around so that he was looking Dante straight in the eye.
"When she told you that story? Did she say she cut her wrists like this?" He dragged his fingers across his wrist, just like Lysa had. Dante nodded. "Where have you been dude?" Jamal said. "Everybody knows, that for wrist slitting it's go 'down-the-lane' not 'across-the-street'". He mimed slitting his own wrist downward. "It's like she almost wants to get caught."
He was right. How had that slipped by him? "How do you know all this?" Dante asked.
"Because, kid." Jamal looked Dante straight in the eye. "Once upon a time, I was you. When I first got here, they put me in that playpen with Lysa and Midori and I heard the same lies that you've heard. About keeping control, accepting it, not thinking of escape, fighting it by not fighting. Sound familiar?" Dante must have nodded with his eyes if not with his head.
"Yeah, I thought so." Jamal nodded. "New fish always get brought to Lysa, especially the fighters. Because she cracks them. By the time she's done with them, they're nothing more than Dori over there. She destroys your sense of self better than the Judy's ever could just by babying you.
"I don't know if she's a screw up, or plays the Judy's game so that they go easy on her, or what. Truth is, I don't care. But Lysa gets respected around here because she's the litmus test that determines whether or not you keep your shit together in here."
"Wanna know how I passed?" Jamal asked, grinning wickedly. Dante shook his head. Jamal answered anyway. "I beat the shit out of her. When I realized what she was doing to me; that I was becoming more infant than man, I knew I had to break ties with her. Had to get her voice out of my head. So I beat her. Badly." Dante's eyes went wide. The lump in his throat expanded. He started to sweat.
"I won't go into the details, but it was pretty fucked up." Jamal grinned like the Cheshire Cat. "Good thing nobody can actually die here, and the Judy's can kiss it all better in an instant. But the real finishing touch? I bit off her ear and swallowed it. She got it back, eventually. Best change I ever had. Heheh, why do you think Lysa trained Midori to be her attack dog?" There was silence for a few minutes. Jamal, a cat staring at Dante as if he were a piece of meat. Dante, a mouse hearing about salvation from the Devil.
"Then what happened?" Dante finally asked.
Jamal's face softened, his grin becoming a thin smile. "I got my freedom. The Judy's whooped up on me. Put me in time out and did some extra punishments, but it all went uphill from there, friend. They decided me and Lysa should be separated; so I was assigned to a new playgroup. Now sure why I'm telling you all this. Just, you know…food for thought." If it was possible to swagger and crawl at the same time, Jamal would have just done it.
Dante sat there. Stunned. Amazed. Disbelieving. He didn't want to believe. But too much of it made sense. He brought his knees up to his chest and hugged them hard, as if they were his anchor to reality. He buried his face and closed his eyes, trying to shut out his senses. Maybe he fell asleep. When next he knew, Lysa was sitting next to him.
"You okay, Dante?" she asked. Dante just looked at her. His vision blurry, his eyes glassy. Had he been crying? He couldn't remember?
"Why did you lie to me?" he whispered. Lysa brushed his almost too shaggy hair out of his face and looked him in the eyes.
"Sweetie, I already told you. It was the first day."
"I meant today," Dante pressed. Lysa looked confused. Hurt even. Was Jamal the one who was manipulating him? Had he fallen for some cruel practical joke? No. "You didn't kill yourself. You cut your wrists the wrong way for you to bleed out." Lysa shook her head, spasmed really.
"No, I said I slashed them left to right, not up to"
"It's up to down to bleed out." Dante growled. She HAD lied to him. She didn't know the first thing about what she was speaking of.
"Oh," Lysa paused. "Then it must have been the gunshot-"
"The gunshot?" Dante interrupted. "The one that killed your father?"
"It backfired on me when I went to shoot my dad again. I was dying anyways, so I slit my wrists to speed the process up. Make it less painful, you know."
"You just told me this afternoon, that it was your foster father that you killed. That's why your real parents were in Heaven." Lysa's jaw dropped. He had her trapped. He had her trapped and he hated it. Lysa bit her lip and bowed her head.
"Fine, you want the truth? Here's the truth: I'm a royal fuckup. Just like you. My parents loved me, and gave me everything I ever wanted. Then I went and got pregnant." Lysa looked up. Tears were flowing down her cheeks.
"I was lucky. I didn't start showing till about six months. By then, everyone in school knew it, but my parents were clueless. It was…a different time then." She wiped away here tears as more came seemingly unbidden.
"I was too ashamed to tell my parents, so I ran away. I lived on the streets doing…things…things I'm not proud of." The phrase "hooker with the heart of gold" echoed in Dante's mind. "I didn't live well, but I lived. You'd be surprised," she sniffed, "there's a demand and a market for everything, even underage pregnant…" she sobbed a little, not finishing her sentence.
"I died giving birth to Caroline out on the streets. No hospital would take me. I never even got to feed her." she cried. "And now we're here. Forever. Because of me she never even got to have a life!"
Dante deadened himself inside. This was just too tragic to be true. He fought every compassionate instinct, every impulse to hold her and tell her it was okay. "You expect me to believe that story?" he managed to choke out.
"It's the truth," she whispered. "I swear. The only thing my parents ever did to me was let me choose whether or not I got baptized." Either she was telling the truth, or she was a brilliant liar. No. Nononono. Fuck her. She lied to him She was probably lying now.
She must have sensed this. "You wanna know what my real anchor is, Dante?" she said wiping her nose on her sleeve, her face beet red. "Guilt. I'm the biggest screw-up in Limbo. Not only did I trap my daughter here, but almost every single person I've tried to help has ended up like Dori. I don't deserve to check out mentally or escape. I don't deserve to let go of that guilt.
"I tell those stories and lies about myself to try and help people. No one wants help from the screw-up. You feel sorry for the screw-up, but you never rely on them. Even if a screw-up is saying the exact thing you need to know and hear, you're gonna ignore them. I didn't want you to think I was a screw-up Dante. I wanted to help you. And now that I know you, I don't want to lose you!"
She was baring her soul to him. But all Dante could feel right now was resentment, anger, rage. She had manipulated him so that she could feel better about herself. That no good little bitch. He had almost fallen in love with her, and all he was to her was a pet project to improve her track record. "Say something, Dante" she whispered, "please talk to me. I- I'm sorry. I…I…I…I lo-"
"- And you're going to fail me too so you can have more guilt to hang onto? Is that it?! I'm part of your pity party?!" Dante couldn't let her finish that sentence. He'd have been trapped forever if she had finished that sentence. Lysa just shook her head. She was biting her lip so hard, a bit of blood trickled out. "You gonna keep telling me lies? Distract me till I end up like Dori? That way you can teach me pet tricks so I'll bite and cry on command too?!"
Lysa pleaded with him. "That's not it at all! Please….just listen to m-"
"FUCK YOU!" Dante roared, "YOU DON'T GET TO BE THE VICTIM HERE. YOU AREN'T THE VICTIM! YOU NEVER WERE! YOU'RE JUST A STUPID SPOILED WHOR-"
Lysa's hand came right across Dante's face. The whole play area stopped. Silent. Everyone was looking at them. There was no covering it up this time. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Jamal, smiling, giving him the thumbs up. Now was the time. It was now or never.
Dante reared back his hand, clenching it into a fist. Lysa shrunk back. "You talked to Jamal," she whispered, her voice quavering with fear." Dante clenched his fist, and closed his eyes, and swung. His aim hit true.
Dante Willis broke his own nose as he punched himself in the face. He couldn't do it. He just couldn't bring himself to hit her, even after the truth came out. He hated her right now. Hated her lies, her meddling, her stupid fucking pigtails. Note amended: FUCK. HER. But he couldn't bring himself to strike her. It was wrong. He was not Jamal Adams and he never would be, even if meant he was doomed to become a baby.
Blood gushed from his nose and his vision flooded with saline. Lyrics danced around his brain as he continued to brutalize himself. "I wanna put my tender, heart in a blender, watch it spin around to a beautiful oblivion. Rendezvous then I'm through with you." Great. Just great. Here he flipping out, and the best his brain could manage was Eve 6. Lysa just staid there, crying, pulling on her pigtails as she curled up in a fetal position; reliving a past trauma she had suffered.
Judy's rushed to Dante. They kissed his nose and it healed. Even the blood was instantly gone. He didn't care. He kept crying. They checked his diaper and found him dry. He kept crying. They blew raspberries on his tummy. He giggled for two seconds as a wave of happiness surged through him, and then cried harder.
They were forced to treat him like any mother without super powers would. All they could do was just take turns holding him, and try to comfort him with their presence and touch. He let them. He didn't put up a fight. If he cried loud enough, the mommies would pay more attention to him, and he needed attention right now. At least the Judy's were honest in their intentions. You knew what to expect from them.
Dante Willis cried all through dinner, all through bath time, and eventually bawled himself to sleep. He didn't know whether his tears were that of a whining child or of a heart-broken man. And that was what scared him the most.

Here's my theory : all TV show hosts wish they could be Oprah. Oprah's surprise giveaways are legendary, including of course the recent iPad giveway as part of her "Favourite Things". Controversial TV show host Glenn Beck recently did his own giveway – a survival backpack.
Of course, it's no iPad, so the audience did not appreciate it as much. However, a full-stocked survival bag (Bug Out Bag) with some good emergency preparedness advices is literally priceless.
Have you considered giving a friend or loved one a BOB this holiday season?
You can 72 Hour survival kit in a backpack from Amazon.
Alternatively, here's our guide on how to assemble your own Bug Out Bag.

To get your network up and running, you have to go through a great many software configuration processes. The hardware devices you install to create a network have software components; the computer communication features must be enabled correctly; drives, folders, and peripherals (e.g., printers) must be configured so that network users can access them; and so on.
In this chapter I'll discuss some of the annoyances you might encounter as you go through these tedious, but necessary, software processes. I'll cover the technical specifications for setting up your network adapters, and the various ways you can set up users so that everybody has their own personalized computer environment. I'll also discuss security and controls for user access (who can do what on a computer).

Thanks for dropping by. I have some unique images. All were born of my intrigue of what lies beyond what we immediately see. Take a walk on the beach. You'll probably see many of my subjects lying in and on the sand enjoying the sunshine. Stroll in a garden or along a country road. What you see, most likely isn't at all what I've found. I hope you're a little bit amazed.
Meander through the images. I hope you enjoy the trip. No sunscreen needed...
