Life As Of Late...
-I had my 6 week check-up on Monday...I passed with flying colors, so no more excuses for not working out...I am cleared to exercise, boo-hoo, I mean, hooray.
-Speaking of exercising, we did not renew our gym membership this year. A little sad, more for Eric than me. He made a lot of friends and connections there, and Molly loved the pool. But we want to save for a van, and paying for the gym was not going to help us save. Instead we are going to work out at home, and to help us is our new Wii Fit Plus. I am very excited to use it! Even if it told me my Wii Fit age is 41?! I am not good at the balance thing they test you on, plus I had a screaming baby in the background as my defense for doing so poorly. Then when it gets nice outside I can't wait to go for walks and runs with all the trails around here.
-With the whole losing weight thing...I have 13 pounds to go until I am back at my starting weight before Lucy came along. I would still like to lose 5-10 more after that, but lets not get ahead of ourselves :) If anyone has used the Wii Fit and has any suggestions, or has any favorites on there, I am all ears!
-Lucy has started not enjoying the hours of 4-8pm. Every night seems to be rough during that block of time. I have no idea what changed, but she is not a happy camper then. How do you know if it's colic? She is fine all day, it's just that time lately.
-We have not really fallen into a routine or anything...part of me wants to, and the other part is trying to go with the flow. Each day has been different for us, and it's harder to set a rigid schedule with a 3 year old that gets stir crazy very easily, and sometimes we need to just get out of the house! But that messes with the whole setting a nap time, etc. Suggestions for those of you who have or are there?
-I am officially back to work next week. I have been going into the office for meetings the last couple of weeks, and I am of course there every Sunday, but come Monday, Eric is home with the girls, alone! I am sure he will do great, plus I am convinced kids act better for the parent that is not normally with them all of the time. So he should have no problems :)
-Speaking of going back to work...that means on Tuesdays Molly and Lucy will be going to a babysitter...I am trying to psych myself up for leaving Lucy, and it's just not happening yet. I am leaving them with my best friend here, so it's not like I am worried about anything, but it's still hard. I thought the second time around would be fine, but it might be harder than the first since time seems to be flying by so quickly.
-My mom is coming to visit tomorrow, hooray for grandmas!
-Come back tomorrow for Lucy's birth story! I figured it has almost been 6 weeks and I should write it soon before I forget! Just kidding about the whole forgetting part, yeah right! I really want to tell you all how much your prayers and thought were with us that day and also to write it out and show her someday.
I think that's all for now! Molly has been asking for lunch, so I should probably make her something :) Have a great day!!

I hear you on the weight thing. I'm not motivated. I weighed myself the other day & was sure you're supposed to drop more than that after having a baby! I guess I'm rushing things.
I have a Wii Fit that I got last year & never used. LOL! I'm hoping to use it this time as soon as my 6 weeks is up. Maybe we can motivate each other. :)

Molly is 7 months old today and I'm still not exercising!?!?! Isn't that AWFUL??!?!? Grrrr....
We got a Kinect, and I'm hoping I can get some work outs in with that.
Anywho. . . I've been the go-with-the-flow momma when it comes to schedules. I can't imagine how to recommend doing it with two. So, go ahead and figure that out and let me know! K? :)

It was fun reading about what you've been up to! I need get the wii fit thing too. Let me know how you like it! My age would probably be like 62 on there. Haha! It's been 4 years since I had my baby, so I guess it's time for me to start working out. LOL!!!!!!! I've always been a go with the flow type mom, especially with 3, so my kids always just napped when they could or would, which was hardly ever unless they just happened to fall asleep in the car. That's always fun when you get them all ready to go somewhere and then you get there and turn around and they're asleep! Ha!
Hope you have lots of fun with your Mom :) Love ya!

Glad to hear you guys are doing so well! It's funny, with us, Jace needed the routine to function, and Jaelyn was very much the opposite - she didn't get cranky when she was that little, ever, and would fall asleep without any kind of rocking or other stuff.. so we ended up scheduling around him more than her, even though he was the oldest. Do what works - you know your family best.
As far as colic goes - I am praying that little Lucy doesn't have it! Jace was colicky... it's hard to tell, especially at first. Jace was inconsolable for hours at a time - mostly at night. Truly inconsolable - wouldn't take a bottle, wouldn't fall asleep, didn't want to be rocked, or talked to, or anything.. I am pretty sure I wore a path in our carpet from carrying him around and trying to console him each and every night.
However! Many of the signs are similar to babies with acid reflux, so if it continues, you may want to ask about that at your next appointment to be sure. Because while there is really not much you can do for colic, I believe there are things you can do if it is acid reflux.
Love you guys!

Glad the 6 wk checkup went well and you passed! :) Lainey is almost 4 months and I'm still not exercising! I could really use a little toning up. That's great you got a Wii Fit! Maybe I need that!
We gradually got into a routine around here and now it's nice to have one but in the first month or so I just went with the flow.

Oh girl! I remember those days!! No sleep..tired...trying to lose weight....etc etc...LOL!
SOmedays....just surviving is all ya gotta do girl! Don't feel so pressured to be in a routine, though routines are great once you get them all figured out.
You will get there I promise! And I am praying for you as you leave the girls. :(

Loved reading your update! I am soooo ready to start exercising again! We got a Wii Fit Plus for Christmas and it said my age was 39!! :( My excuse is that I was 40 weeks pregnant, my balance was off. Ha! I love the hula hoop games, the stepping one (it's like in aerobics, I think), running, and yoga - those are just what I did between Christmas and when Levi was born. Can't wait to get back to it!
Lily has always functioned better when she's on a schedule - a flexible schedule. We get out and about, but we try to be home for naptimes. It just makes for a happier little girl and a better evening for all of us.

Your Majesties, Your Royal Highnesses, Ladies and Gentlemen,
One of the great joys of research—whether it be in economics, physics, chemistry or any academic discipline—is the act of discovery, those moments when we are surprised by what we have found ... when our original ideas are turned upside down, and we suddenly have to rearrange how we view the world.
This is precisely what happened to Finn and me when we were working on the two papers for which we have received this award. We were operating on previously held assumptions—just doing what we always had done and expecting similar results, when theory suddenly slapped us in the face and commanded us to pay attention. After the initial shock, we humbly said, "Yes, Master," and we promptly changed our views.
You would think that we would have learned something from those experiences, but it happened to us again ... on three additional occasions! And each time it was immensely gratifying.
It is typical at events such as this to acknowledge the people who have influenced you and who have laid the foundation for your work, but there are far too many names and too little time to do justice to such a list. However, Finn, a Norwegian, said it would be okay if I mention the Swedes, who continue to have more than their fair share of people advancing the economic science. There is one Swede in particular, the great Knut Wicksell, whose work 100 years ago still has a major influence on how we conduct our science. And just to keep Finn happy, I suppose I should mention one of the many marvelous Norwegian economists—Ragnar Frisch, who did so much to advance Wicksell's work.
But the people I would really like to acknowledge and celebrate are the students. They may not realize it now, but they are making history with their research and they will be the future Nobel Laureates. Their sense of wonder is a continual source of inspiration and never fails to energize me.
Some of those students will stand in this beautiful banquet hall some day and tell their own stories about how theory knocked some sense into them. I know it has knocked a lot of sense into me, and I look forward to many more such surprise discoveries.
Thank you very much.

It has been truly heartwarming to see the overwhelming expressions of support from Girl Guides across Canada for those affected by the fires in the Fort McMurray area. Many units in Alberta and other provinces have welcomed displaced girls and Guiders at their meetings and camps, providing a supportive space during this distressing time. At the Alberta Provincial Council level, members and staff are working to make sure that the girls and Guiders from the Fort McMurray area who are registered for Guiding Mosaic 2016 will have a positive camp experience.
There are many unknowns for the Northern Lights District at this time – wildfires continue to burn and the timing of re-entry is still undetermined for many residents. Once the situation stabilizes, the provincial council will be able to assess the needs of units in terms of uniforms, camping gear and other equipment. We will share ways you can provide assistance as that information becomes available.

You probably don't associate the Frost Museum of Science with late-night partying. But its newest exhibit, "Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence," will have guests lingering in a dark, rave-like atmosphere of pulsating lights.
Opening at Frost Science this Saturday, October 6, "Creatures of Light" introduces visitors to the flickering, dazzling world of natural organisms that can behave like living night lights.
From flashing anglerfish and scorpions to glimmering coral and fungi, it's all about bioluminescence, one of nature's most enchanting, mysterious wonders. Produced through a chemical reaction that takes place within an organism, this detectable "cold light," which gives off almost no heat, is emitted in different colors for different purposes.
The phenomenon is rare among organisms that live on
Organized by the American Museum of Natural History in collaboration with the Canadian Museum of Nature and Chicago's Field Museum of Natural History, the traveling exhibit will fill the Hsiao Family Special Exhibition Gallery at Frost Science. With a thought-provoking format to suit adults and older kids, the show will also delight young children through visuals such as larger-than-life overhead models and a woodland floor filled with bioluminescent mushrooms.
We Believe Local Journalism is Critical to the Life of a City
Engaging with our readers is essential to Miami New Times's mission. Make a financial contribution or sign up for a newsletter, and help us keep telling Miami's stories with no paywalls.
Support Our Journalism
The show is a very welcome addition, Uricchio says, because "South Florida does not have many bioluminescent animals. The majority of locals would not get to see one on their own."
In addition to encountering live examples such as flashlight fish and dinoflagellates, visitors can experience immersive replicas of the Waitomo cave system in New Zealand, where glowworms drop sticky threads from their bioluminescent tails to ensnare prey, and an interactive re-creation of Mosquito Bay in Puerto Rico, home to dinoflagellates that produce a glowing halo around anything that moves through the water.
The exhibit will also include access to interactive videos with scientists and iPads featuring animations, photographs, and in-depth exhibition information. A symphonic soundtrack by composer Tom Phillips will set a distinctive mood in each section to create a fully immersive audiovisual adventure.
"Creatures of Light: Nature's Bioluminescence." Saturday, October 6, through April 21, 2019, at the Frost Museum of Science, 101 Biscayne Blvd., Miami; 305-434-9600; tickets.frostscience.org. Tickets cost $29, and discounts are available for Miami-Dade residents and students.

It configures, monitors and controls equipment and devices to predict, detect and react to problems. Our unified dashboard then guides operators and engineers toward speedy analysis, diagnosis and repair, with a single, easy-to-understand interface regardless of what company manufactured each device. Similar devices have similar-looking screens and the most important information is presented to operators in a clean, uncluttered view.
Crystal Control can be deployed in your in-house data infrastructure or in the cloud to monitor and control the work of virtual machines. As content owners increasingly place their trust in the cloud, Crystal Control ensures a seamless transition with the same quality and reliability that the biggest names in media have depended on for decades.
Crystal Control delivers high operational efficiency at a lower total cost of ownership than competing systems. How? Crystal Control is a comprehensive and unified system, which we configure to meet each customer's exact needs. No add-on modules are needed to access its full capabilities (while inflating your costs). It includes a vast library of device drivers or software interface modules, which extract device parameters and issue commands regardless of manufacturer. As part of our standard procedures, these drivers go through a challenging validation process to ensure their 100% reliability.
Once installed, Crystal Control groups individual devices into systems and incorporates business intelligence to "understand" how each device and system affects others and your ability to deliver video and data. This business intelligence enables us to provide sophisticated automation of uplink power control, site diversity switching, routing, scheduling and much more.

Mobile apps – ideal for booking a hotel, finding an apartment and… connecting with your salon clients.
There are so many misconceptions surrounding just how much salon apps can help your business and by ignoring their benefits, you may miss vital opportunities to create a true community around your salon.
Here are 5 common myths surrounding your salon and mobile app technology – debunked!
Myth 1: I don't need an app, I have a website
One of the hottest topics right now is the debate on mobile apps vs mobile-friendly websites: do you really need both? The answer is: yes. As similar as these tools might seem, if you want to attract and retain today's tech-savvy, mobile-loving clients, you'll need a combination of both.
Myth 2: …But my website is mobile friendly!
Your website and your app are both equally important. Your website will help you stand out in an online search and let new clients find you. A customized mobile app, on the other hand, is incredibly powerful as it gives your existing clients direct access to your salon without having to Google you. It will help you stay connected, boost loyalty, and increase your profits.
Myth 3: Mobile apps are expensive
They don't have to be! Rather than enlisting a developer to custom-build an entire app to meet your requirements, partner with a point of sale software provider like Shortcuts Software that offers this as an add-on feature. All you have to do is decide what to include, upload your images and details, and you'll save time as well as a ton of money!
Myth 4: Apps are too hard to use
Any good app will be designed with you and your clients in mind, to make creating and maintaining a meaningful connection as simple as possible. Make sure the app you choose has been created by a team with plenty of experience in the hair and beauty industry – they will be well equipped to understand what will really work for you.
Myth 5: An app won't synch with my appointment book
This is only true if you choose a standalone app that doesn't speak to your point of sale system. If your app is integrated with your software provider, it will seamlessly work with your appointment book to ensure your clients can only ever book appointments where you have schedule availability.
Ready to find out more?
Shortcuts Software has just released a new salon client app that is taking the industry by storm. To find out more about mySALONapp, and the rest of the Shortcuts marketing and management system, fill out the form and a representative will be in touch!

Welcome, LitStackers, to our very first Emerging Author segment. This feature is designed to introduce you to the incoming "class" of debut writers who, through their use of language and unique plots, have written great stories the rest of will be lucky to read.
First up is Phoebe North, a multitalented young woman who is many things: fangirl, critical, intelligent reviewer, writer with a passion for helping others hone their craft and, in 2013, debut novelist of the YA SciFi novel, Starglass. I sat down with North, a former critique partner and friend of mine, to discuss her influences, her writing and what aspects in her life led her down the writer's road to publication.
Starglass is forthcoming in the U.S. from Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers in summer 2013.
For five hundred years, passengers on the generation ship Asherah have lived a regimented lifestyle meant to ensure they reach their destination across the stars. Jobs are selected by the High Council; unmarried citizens find themselves matched; every couple has two children–one boy, and one girl–created for them in a lab. This is how their population has remained steady, and rebellion has been suppressed. But this rigid life doesn't work for everyone on the ship. It certainly doesn't work for sixteen-year-old Terra. She lost her mother to cancer years ago. Now she's working a job she hates, while her father pushes her toward marrying a boy she knows will never love her back. Terra's done her best to swallow her lumps and be good, like the generations that have come before her. But when she stumbles across a murder in the ship's long-abandoned engine rooms, she gets sucked in to a plot to murder the ship's captain.
The rebels know that Terra has nothing left to lose, but they don't know that she's starting to fall for the boy she's meant to kill. Soon Terra learns that 'doing your duty' isn't as simple as it seems."
YA (young adult) has been, for some time, a very popular genre for both readers and writers. What drew you into YA and do you think you will ever write for adults?
First, I wanted to thank you for inviting me here to LitStack! I'm so psyched to be doing my very first interview with you, Tee, someone who was right by my side at the birth of Starglass.
I've always been a huge YA fan. I went through a period of reading adult "subversive" lit at the end of high school (Chuck Palahniuk, Dave Eggers, that sort of thing), but then I took a college course on YA literature, which helped me to rediscover my love for works like A Wrinkle in Time and the His Dark Materials series. Later, I went to graduate school for poetry—but loaded up on as many children's literature classes as I could. Luckily, my professors seemed happy to entertain my rambling about feminism in Babysitter's Club novels.
I love YA because teenagers have a very intense, vivid emotionality. YA novels are intrinsically the novels of first experiences and the ensuing emotional fallout. I find that fascinating, and nearly endlessly entertaining. On occasion, I've conceptualized stories featuring adult characters—but those are very much the exception, rather than the rule. My default is the YA plot and the YA protagonist. Someday, I might write a novel for adults, but it doesn't feel particularly likely.
From my personal experience with you, I know you to be very prolific. Do you have a writing schedule and how to you make certain you stick to it? How does pre-publishing affect that schedule?
Am I prolific? I average about 1000 words a day, but there are so many writers out there who can get a novel out in a matter of weeks. I suppose it's all relative!
I don't have a schedule, other than "write all the words!" Some days are better than others, of course, but I've never found motivation to be particularly problematic. When I'm deep in a novel, I know that constant forward momentum is the only way to finish. And so every day, I try to add a little bit to my word count.
Pre-publishing hasn't had a huge impact on my productivity—yet. I'll be getting my edits in a few weeks, though, so I imagine that this will change soon.
I know you've been involved in fandoms in the past. How has that involvement shaped your writing?
I wouldn't be a writer today if it weren't for my fandom activities in middle and high school. I was part of Pern fandom as well as a member of a writing club based on Nickelodeon's Space Cases (of all things). The writers I met there helped me to take my writing seriously while we all geeked out. I'm not fandom-active today, but I truly value the friendships and connections I made when I was.
From reading this post, I gathered that you felt there were many variables that led you to Starglass. If any of those variables had been different, do you think you still would have written this book? How different do you think it would be?
I think it's very much true that you're the only writer who can write your books. I don't think Starglass would be the same at all if I hadn't lost my father young, if I weren't Jewish, if I hadn't taken that ill-fated James Joyce class where I wrote my first generation ship story.
You've been fearless in the book reviews you've done. Were you ever afraid of offending other writers with your more critical reviews? Would you rather reviewers write honest, critical reviews about your work?
My husband always tells me that I'm foolishly honest. He's right, but that doesn't mean that I set out hoping to make enemies. Deep down, I hope that other writers understand and appreciate why I review—but I know that can't always be the case. Still, even knowing that I someday might face career repercussions (people are always telling me that those will come, though they haven't yet), I also know that I wouldn't want to be successful at the expense of honesty. I only ever want to be successful as me—and "me" is someone who is critical and vocal and analytical and opinionated.
And yes, of course I'd rather reviewers be honest about my work.
Has there been one stabilizing force that has kept you motivated to publish? Has that changed over the years?
I've always been a preposterously stubborn and driven person—I'm naturally very highly motivated. Having my husband's support, both financially and emotionally, has helped, as have a host of other things (my kitty cat! Good music!), but I suspect much of that motivation was intrinsic and highly personal.
Our childhoods define us, make us who we are. Because you experienced loss in your childhood, do you think that is what drew you into writing? Was writing (or perhaps reading) a therapeutic way to work through that loss?
No, I don't think so. Though my father died when I was eight, I was writing and finding solace in books well before that. I think it might be easy to ascribe a therapeutic narrative to one's writing life, but I come from a family of artists, writers, and readers. I'd just as soon attribute my creative nature to that as I would the early loss of my father.
Tell the readers about Starglass. Specifically, what was it about a generation ship and a murder plot that made you want to tell that story?
Starglass is the story of Terra, a young girl who gets pulled into an on-board rebellion on the generation ship where she grew up. I've always thought that you couldn't go wrong with "teenage girl with a choice" as a basic plot, and, when boiled down to its essence, that's really what Starglass is about—when faced with the choice to make reparations for a loved one's death, could you? The generation ship setting came first. The original premise is based on a science fiction rewrite of James Joyce's Evangeline. But I needed a strong, driving plot. I'd always wanted to do something similar to Star Wars. I think space rebellions have very much entered the public consciousness via Lucas, which is why I reached for the rebellion plot here.
How has your circle of friends and/or peers influenced your writing, if at all?
I'm lucky to have many wonderful writing friends, from high school, college and graduate school, and I'm still in touch with many of them. It's great to just be able to share that side of yourself with people you love. I couldn't have done it without their support. This is especially true for my husband, Jordan. He was a writer when we first met, and understands "story" better than anyone I know. He's great for hashing out plot problems.
Finally, a two-part question: Rose or River Song, and what do you think about Matt Smith bowing out of Who?
Oh, River Song, easily. I love that she's an older woman who is also an iconic character—the type of icon you usually only find in male characters.
Is Matt Smith leaving? It seems like there are rumors to that effect every few months, but I've learned not to trust everything you read on the Internet. I'd love for there to be a modern Doctor with a Tom-Baker-sized tenure, a character that we truly see grow and change over the course of the years. But, barring that, I hope that his story is just given a satisfying conclusion. I'm still nursing my wounds over how Lost ended. I'd hate for Who to break my heart all over again.

Yes, I'm afraid you did read that right – this post brings some sad tidings with it. After a truly wonderful four-and-a-half years I have decided that it's time to close our beloved, green, culture magazine.
Due to various factors, including the news that I am expecting a second child, I have come to the conclusion that I sadly cannot give the website the time and attention it deserves.
I want to heartily thank all of you enthusiastic EggMaggers and, of course, every one of the magazine's splendid advertisers and contributors, from print to web. You are all deserving of a big smacker – the world is that little bit happier with you light-footed and conscious folk in it.
Please do have a final butchers of the site here. It will be live for a little while yet, probably until early 2014, when it will flicker and disappear into thin air. If you missed any issues of the printed magazine, we still have a few left for sale if you want to hang on to some culture with a conscience. They're pretty timeless…
Thank you once again and goodbye,
P.S If anyone is in need of some EggMag-style help with anything, the amazing team are mostly available for freelance work. Among others, services provided are as follows:
– If you need anything designed, or an article on sustainable living written, you can contact EggMag's founding editor, Ellie Good.
– If you need some ethical fashion styling, or someone to write about it, Zoe Robinson can help.
– If you need a make-up artist or beauty writer with a wholly natural kit, then Lou Dartford is your woman.
– If you need some homes or interiors advice, Claire Potter can help you out.
– If you need a personal wardrobe revolution, Stephanie Roper will jump to your aid.

We study theoretically and numerically the effect of rotation on resonant frequencies of microcavities in a rotating frame of reference. Cavity rotation causes the shifts of the resonant frequencies proportional to the rotation rate if it is larger than a certain value. Below the value, a region of rotation rate exists where there is no resulting the frequency shifts proportional to the rotation rate. We show that designing cavity symmetry as C nv (n≥3) can eliminate this region.

Summer Bucket List Part 1: 5 Must-Dos in Sarasota
Just a short drive from Riviera Dunes Marina lies Sarasota renowned for its beautiful beaches. However, Sarasota has much more to offer than sun and sand! From museums to lush botanical gardens, there are plenty of must-dos in Sarasota that you'll want to add to your summer bucket list!
Here's part one of our summer bucket list when you're in Sarasota.
1. Sarasota Farmers Market
The summer season welcomes a bounty of bright vegetables, fruit and other specialty foods local to the Sarasota area. Discover fresh ginger, microgreens, lush beets and you guessed it—Florida oranges! In addition, the Sarasota Farmers Market features plant vendors selling everything from herbs to flowers as well as artisans offering handmade soap, artwork and more eclectic goods! When you're done perusing the exciting vendors, stick around for lunch at one of the food vendors serving up steak, German food and burgers . . . just to name a few. The market is located at 1 N. Lemon Avenue and operates every Saturday from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.
2. Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary
One of the most unique must-dos in Sarasota is to visit Big Cat Habitat and Gulf Coast Sanctuary, an animal sanctuary for large, exotic animals. In addition to caring for exotic animals in need, the sanctuary is also an educational opportunity where you can learn about animal care and habitat preservation. Some animals you might see are bears, birds, ligers, lions and tortoises! There is also a petting zoo where you can get up close with goats, llamas and chickens.
3. Marie Selby Botanical Gardens
Surround yourself with beauty and nature when you visit Selby Botanical Gardens. Enter the gardens' seven acres of tropical bliss as you traverse the Children's Rainforest Garden where visitors can learn about this unique environment. Then, in the Tropical Conservatory, this is the gardens' public greenhouse where you will see the first blooms of the plants. Of course, you won't want to miss the koi pond, fern garden or the Towering Bamboo garden, where bamboo can grow up to 40 inches per day! See it all for yourself and more at the botanical gardens in Sarasota.
4. The Sarasota Classic Car Museum
Antique car lovers will be mesmerized at the Sarasota Classic Car Museum, the second oldest antique car museum in the country! Admire over 75 antique cars from Bentleys to Cadillacs. You'll even get to see cars owned by John Lennon, Paul McCartney and a collection of cars owned by John and Mable Ringling. Then make sure you make a stop in the gift shop to take home a treasure and remember your visit for years to come!
5. The Beaches
Of course one of the top must-dos in Sarasota must include a visit to the beach! Popular beaches to visit are the No. 1 voted beach, Siesta Key Beach, Lido Beach, Venice beach, among other beaches and their islands. Learn more about Sarasota's beaches and islands in this previous post.

In the City of Cambridge dog owners are required to have their pet licensed annually. Not only is it required in accordance with the Bylaw 172-13, but a dog license is another form of identification for your dog!
When a dog is wearing their tag and is found by a member of the public or by an Animal Services Officer, your information is available and we can then quickly reunite you with your dog.
- Your dog is wearing a current/valid Cambridge City Tag
- Your dog is not causing a disturbance while loose
- Your dog is not a repeat visitor to the pound
This site is for dog tags renewal sales within the City of Cambridge only. If you are located in another township, (eg. Puslinch, North Dumfries) please contact your township office regarding licensing.
As of January 1 for that year's tag a $30.00 late fee will be added to the tag price (example: 2019 Dog Licences are required to be paid prior January 1, 2019).
A $2.00 mailing charge will be added to your purchase at the time of payment.
If your dog loses its current dog tag, a replacement tag can be purchased at the City Pound for a $10.00 fee.
Excerpts from the Cambridge City Bylaw 172-13:
Section 2.1: Licensing and Registration: states that "every owner of a dog residing within the City shall cause the dog to be registered and licensed annually on or before the 31st day of December in the previous year OR within thirty (30) days of becoming an owner of a dog."
Section 2.3: Rabies Inoculation: states that "upon application for a licence the owner of a dog shall be required to produce a certificate signed by a practising veterinarian that the dog has been inoculated with an anti-rabies vaccine within a period of twenty-four (24) months prior to the date of application for a licence."
For information on the importance and the laws regarding vaccinating against the rabies virus, please visit the Region of Waterloo Public Health for more information.
All tags can also be purchased in person at the Cambridge City Pound. This is the only location where dog tag licences are available.
New dog tags must be purchased at the pound with the appropriate vet certificates for rabies vaccination and spay/neuter proof (if applicable).
Renewals only:

After 50 years of sitting in the National Geographic archives, 100 hours of footage on Jane Goodall and her groundbreaking observations of chimpanzees in the African forest of Tanzania have been compiled into a documentary film.
The documentary titled "Jane" starts in 1960 when Jane Goodall was 26 years old.
Through interviews with Goodall and National Geographic footage, the film documents Goodall's early years, as a woman with no university degree, working in a remote part of Tanzania. The film portrays her work and personal life. Her unconventional ways of observing chimps challenged the scientific community's belief on what it means to be human.
More than any other documentary that has been made, it does take me back to the actual feeling I had when I was out there in the forest and so it's very moving," Goodall said at a screening of the film in Los Angeles.
The music in the documentary was composed by Philip Glass. When Goodall saw the film with the music, she described it as "magical."
The moment in the documentary that especially moved Glass was when Goodall was sitting with chimpanzees who had accepted her.
The very intimacy when she is sitting with them [chimps] and they're like children to her. She's combing their hair and she talks with them and they've accepted her totally, Glass said.
Goodall remembered her unique relationship with the chimps.
It's not quite family but, it's not quite like friends, but I'm part of their lives. They accept me. I can watch what they do. In the time of the movie, we had a really close touching relationship, which we don't have anymore, Goodall said.
With that close relationship, Goodall made headlines by discovering that chimpanzees are intelligent, social animals who used tools to gather food, something the scientific community at the time, believed only humans could do.
When asked whether she would have done anything differently in her research, Goodall said, "Everything worked out perfectly. Were mistakes made? Of course, but one learns from mistakes, and so I wouldn't have changed anything really.
Jane features the footage of National Geographic filmmaker Hugo van Lawick, Goodall's first husband.
Going through 100 hours of Hugo Van Lawick's footage is a dream. You know, Hugo's one of the greatest wildlife cinematographers in the history of filmmaking, director Brett Morgen said.
At the Los Angeles screening, Hollywood actor Jamie Lee Curtis described why she is in awe of Goodall.
She has just, by doing what she loves, has brought us all along on the journey and that's a message if anything. Be uncompromising in your vision, uncompromising in your attack and attitude of what it is that you do, Curtis said.
Even in present day, Goodall continues to travel and speak about protecting chimpanzees and being good stewards of the natural world.

Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said Wednesday that Canada's national police force must do better at processing requests it receives under the federal access-to-information law.
The RCMP received an access-to-information request on Jan. 5, 2017 seeking information about the personnel and assets it deployed in November and December 2016 to protect Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family as they vacationed on the private Bahamas island owned by the Aga Khan. Trudeau would later be found to have violated four parts of the Conflict of Interest Act in accepting that vacation.
But the RCMP itself may have failed to follow the law of the land as it processed a request for information about the prime minister's law-breaking trip.

Joined 8 years ago from Texas
I am obsessed with plants and have been ever since I was 11 and pulled my first home-grown carrot out of the ground.
I love all the beauty that plants can bring, all the fresh air they can literally create in your home, the scents, the sights, the variety, the textures, everything! I especially love that my relationship with my plants can bring me food :) Not just regular food, but food that tastes way better than anything you can find at the supermarket, that is as convenient as walking outside and picking it off of a plant, and that is better for my body and the planet and is almost free
Plants are my escape from all the rules and pettiness that is civilized society, but they are also my rescue from all the chemicals and overall unhealthiness brought on by the cons of civilized society: fattening food, sick building syndrome, global warming, food prices rising, lack of connection to nature, etc.
So that's my plant-self in a nutshell.

Tattoos and Rap
Several members of the Latin Kings gang were arrested in Florida for racketeering and other charges. 23 of its members were incriminated in the process of indictment, as associates of one of the biggest and most well organized gangs in the country. The trial sparked controversy and great surprise when the most powerful evidence presented for the case included gang-related tattoos, symbols, and handshakes. People asked, was this a violation of the First Amendment – the right to free speech? Criminal Procedures Guided by Federal Rules Courts are bound by Federal rules of criminal procedure when evaluating and determining when and how they can use evidence in a case. Some submitted evidences may bear insignificant probative value but the defendant may find it highly detrimental to his defense. One example is: a defendant that was arrested for beating up a neighbor does not immediately prove that he also stole a different neighbor's car. While these two events were unrelated and does not necessarily have bearing for the defendant, the mere presence of sharing the first crime's incidence with the jury will put the defendant at… Read More

We all know that water is good for us and we should be drinking copious amounts of it every day. Well, maybe not copious amounts but enough to flush and hydrate us.
If you are a soda, coffee or juice drinker all day, then you may not be getting enough water into your system. Not to mention the added sugar, chemicals, and other interesting ingredients that are part of those beverages. Consuming water regularly throughout the day provides many benefits. These are just a few:
- Balances the fluids in the body – your body is about 60% water and you need it for absorption, digestion, circulation, transporting nutrients, and maintaining body temperature.
- Helps control calories – no secret here. Drink water as a substitute for other calorie laden beverages. It also helps flush out the by products of fat breakdown there by assisting in losing weight.
- Helps energize muscles – muscles cells need water for performance and to reduce muscle fatigue. Water carries oxygen to your muscles. Muscles consist of 75% water.
- Good for the skin – helps replenish skin tissue, moisturizes, and retains skin elasticity.
- Improves mood – even a minor amount of dehydration can cause serious problems in your mood, making your irritable and uncomfortable.
But at some point for a lot of people, water just becomes plain boring! I know a lot of people look for flavor and it is not uncommon to hear a person or two actually say they don't like water. But wait before you start looking for hydration alternatives such as Gatorade or vitamin water. These drinks can be and usually are loaded with sugar, chemicals, and stuff your body just doesn't need. Sports drinks in general contain more sugar, calories, and sodium then you want to consume.
Then there's vitamin water. Vitamin water has marketed itself as a healthy alternative to sports drink. And why not, it's water and vitamins… While sports drinks may not contain vitamins, the sugar content of these two is not so different. If you look at the nutrition labels on vitamin water, the second ingredient is some form of sugar. And the best part is that there is no juice in it whatsoever. Here is a label from one of the flavors.
Nutrition Facts:
Serving Size 8 fl oz; Servings per Container 2.5
Calories 50
Total Fat 0g
Sodium 0mg
Total Carbohydrate 13g
Total Sugar 13g
Protein 0g
Vitamin C 60%; vitamin B3 10%; vitamin B6 10%; vitamin B12 10%; vitamin B5 10%, Zinc 10%
vapor distilled/deionized water, crystalline fructose, citric acid, vegetable juice (color), natural flavor, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), natural flavor, vitamin E acetate, magnesium lactate (elecrolyte), calcium lactate (electrolyte), zinc picolinate, monopotassium phosphate (electrolyte), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine hydrochloride (B6), cyanocobalamine (B12)
At first glance this may not look horrible but take a look at the serving size and servings per container. No one drinks less than half a bottle. If you twist the cap off, it's gonna go down the hatch… the WHOLE thing. Now your looking at 33 grams of sugar that your body doesn't really need. That still may not seem like much to some people but trust me when I say, your body doesn't need it. Sugar wreaks havoc on our systems. Plus you've now added 125 unneeded calories.
Solution? Make your own vitamin water. The flavor is incredible, the options are unlimited and bonus – NO SUGAR ADDED! By creating your own vitamin water, you now are providing yourself with hydration, added nutrients (which we all can use), and a treat. I always have a vitamin water pitcher in our fridge and now my husband will drink from that before regular water every time.
All you need is a pitcher, the herbs, fruit, or veggies you want to add, and filtered water. If you can get a pitcher with an infuser all the better but it's not necessary. An infuser just helps to extract the vegetation from the water when you are done with it. Here are a couple of examples:
Just google infusion pitcher and you'll find lots of options from as little as $8. Simply add herbs, fruit, and/or veggies to your filtered water in a pitcher, store in the fridge, let rest, and serve. The longer the water sits, the more nutrients are extracted from the ingredients. I will typically change my ingredients out every 24-48 hours.
Some things to note:
- Use filtered water. Regular tap water contains chemicals such as chlorine and flouride, that we don't need. You can read more about this here.
- Cut the fruit and veggies into small chunks or thin slices so there is more surface area which allows more nutrients into the water. You can gently muddle if you want but I don't find it necessary.
- If the water will be sitting for more than 4 hours, remove rinds from citrus, as they can make your water bitter.
- Feel free to refill. Once you have used all of the water, if the ingredients are still good, simply refill with more water. More nutrients will be extracted and the flavor will last.
- Play around with your ingredients. Use what you have available in the house. If you don't like the flavor of something simply dump and try again.
- Amounts can vary. Add as little or much of the ingredients as your taste prefers. There is no right recipe.
- Don't worry about what nutrients you are getting, just know that you are getting nutrients. By regularly changing your ingredients, you will provide your body with a wide array of much needed nutrients.
You'll get the water soluble vitamins and minerals from the ingredients you add to the water. They will transfer from the ingredients, into the water, then into your system. Here are some of my favorite combinations. Come up with your own and post in the comments what you like to use.
Lemon, Cucumber, Basil
Strawberry, Lime, Mint
Crushed Fennel Seeds, Lemon, Orange, Mint
Strawberry, Orange, Basil
Blackberries, Raspberries, Sage
Watermelon, Rosemary
Apple, Cinnamon, Rosemary
Ginger, Lemon
Blueberries, Raspberries, Lavender
I bought the infuser tumblers from Bed, Bath, & Beyond and love them. I can fill up my container and take it with me everywhere. Then simply refill and enjoy throughout the day.

Make Room for God
By Lisa Bevere
Do you ever just feel so busy you don't even know what to do? If I'm not careful, my schedule can get out of control—and fast. I'm sure you know the feeling. It seems every other commercial on television or online depicts someone who has their life more put together than I do. All day long, we are bombarded with subtle messages telling us to do more and be more things to more people in more ways. It's exhausting.
As a culture, we are overloaded and distracted. How much time have you spent on social media today? How about your phone? How about in front of a computer? In today's world, distraction is par for the course—and it is robbing us of a deeper relationship with God.
Years ago, I asked God to increase my hunger for Him. His response to me marked a turning point in my life.
At the time, I was an exhausted young mother of four children living in survival mode. John was on the road preaching a majority of the time, and I felt absolutely overwhelmed. I knew that I needed help—that to get through this season, I needed more of God's presence in my life—so I began to pray that He would increase my hunger for Him.
Then one day while writing in my journal, I heard the Holy Spirit whisper, "Lisa, if you are not hungry for Me, it is because your life is too full of other things."
To develop a hunger for Him, I would have to fast. At the time I was nursing, so I didn't fast food, but I did lay aside the distractions…the things I picked up when I felt lonely, bored, hurt, or angry. If I truly wanted more of God, I would have to begin to let these things go and make room.
I turned off the TV, the novels, and the magazines.
I put down my phone and stopped answering it every time it rang.
I began to allow the discomfort of being a young mother, often home alone due to John's travels, to drive me into God's presence.
It wasn't easy, but looking back I know it was a pivot point for me. That was more than twenty years ago, but it set my life on a different trajectory—one where I first and foremost looked to God for what I needed instead of quick fixes to get me through the day.
I don't know what stage of life you find yourself in. Maybe you are working your way through school. Perhaps you are newly married or a recent parent trying to figure things out. Some of you may be deep in the trenches of marriage and raising children, and still others of you might have kids who are grown who now have kids of their own.
But regardless of where you find yourself, know this: You are not alone in the challenges of your season, and you need God's presence in your life to do your season well. And if you are anything like I was, that means you'll need to make some sacrifices.
I realize the distractions of today exceed my ability to have even imagined them back then, but I encourage you to make some intentional choices and make room for God. If you aren't hungry for God, maybe it's time you stop for a moment and ask Him, "Where am I trying to fill my desire for You with other things?"
Like the woman at the well, we often try to drink from wells that don't satisfy—and we need to come back to the one who offers us living water and drink deeply. Jesus told her:
"Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life." —John 4:13–14 ESV
Friend, Jesus is the source of all your life. Years from now, having a perfect house won't matter, that new Netflix series will be a thing of the distant past, the likes you got on social media will have lost their luster, and the time you spent glued to a phone will be shown for the waste of time that it is.
You, friend, are the gatekeeper of your world. Choose carefully what you allow in. As you remove the distractions and make room for God, you will recover the hunger He meant to lead you into the secret place of His presence, where you will find what you need.

IEX to Move New York Office to 4 WTCNov 20, 2014
Silverstein Properties announced today that IEX, a start-up stock market dedicated to institutionalizing fairness through technology, and the subject of Michael Lewis' book, Flash Boys, has signed a 7-year, 13,000 square foot (1,208 square meter) lease at 4 World Trade Center. The company expects to move to the 44th floor of 4 World Trade Center in April 2015.
"I am delighted to welcome IEX to 4 World Trade Center, and I look forward to watching this dynamic young company as it continues to transform itself into a major national exchange" said Larry A. Silverstein, Chairman of Silverstein Properties. "The new World Trade Center is open for business and is attracting great companies such as IEX because it features the best office space on top of the best mass transit, in the heart of the world's most dynamic live/work community."
"We are inspired by the resilience and effort it takes to rebuild the World Trade Center, and we want to support the neighborhood as it continues to thrive and redefine itself," said Brad Katsuyama, CEO and Co-Founder of IEX. "Like most start-ups, we initially signed short-term leases. But thanks to our recent growth and the support of an extraordinary group of investors, we were able to sign a long-term lease with Silverstein to establish IEX headquarters in downtown New York City. We launched IEX in Lower Manhattan, so this is our way of staying true to what got us here."
"IEX represents the best of Downtown's past, present and future," said Janno Lieber, President of World Trade Center Properties. "While Lower Manhattan remains the historic home of the New York Stock Exchange, the New York Mercantile Exchange and countless major banks, it is no longer your grandfather's Wall Street. Today, Downtown is the hub of New York's 21st century innovation economy. IEX, which is at the creative intersection of technology and finance, really highlights this powerful trend."
Lease negotiations for IEX were handled by a CBRE's Rocco Laginestra and Rob Wizenberg. Jeremy Moss, Director of World Trade Center Leasing for Silverstein Properties, and Camille McGratty, Vice President of Leasing, led the negotiations for the landlord, together with the CBRE agency team including Steve Siegel, Mary Ann Tighe, Adam Foster, Steve Eynon, Evan Haskell, Ken Meyerson and David Caperna.
According to the Downtown Alliance, 511 firms have moved to Lower Manhattan since 2005, leasing a total of 12.3 million square feet (1.14 million square meters). 226 of those companies have been in creative or professional services, taking 51 percent of the space leased.
In its 2013 report, "Brain Gain," the Downtown Alliance explained, "The high-value knowledge workers who drive the region's economy – the people companies want to hire – increasingly live within a 30-minute commute of Lower Manhattan. Extensive residential development and dramatic neighborhood revitalization in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and New Jersey's Hudson River waterfront cities have attracted huge numbers of young, educated people, workers in the professional and creative fields that drive leasing in New York City – who prefer apartment living and shorter commutes via subway, PATH, ferry, bike and foot to suburban life and lengthy commutes via heavy rail or car."

IdentityForce vs. ID Watchdog
However, identity theft protection solutions have also continued to evolve to challenge these threats, and offers an excellent opportunity for people to protect themselves and rest easy knowing their sensitive information is being kept safe.
Today there are several great options for people seeking to protect their identities online. With so many alternatives, however, finding the right fit requires looking under the hood of these products to uncover their real value. IdentityForce is known for its comprehensive scans and easy-to-use interface, as well as around-the-clock protection. Rival, ID Watchdog is also a heavyweight in the industry, winning several awards and offering identity restoration services to accompany its monitoring.
Our team of technology experts wanted to determine which of these offers the best value for consumers. In a close match of IdentityForce vs ID Watchdog, we compared the two brands in a series of categories to better understand their strengths and weaknesses. Although we did find a winner, both IdentityForce and ID Watchdog give customers an excellent solution for identity theft protection and monitoring. Read on to discover who came out on top!
|Credit Monitoring
|Information Protection
|Recovery Services
|Additional Features
|Customer Service
Credit Monitoring
One of the most common ways identity fraud is discovered is when people apply for credit and realize their credit scores are far from what they thought. Credit scores are very sensitive to large purchases, and high amounts of debt or unpaid credit balances can negatively affect your score for years.
Credit monitoring tools keep a constant eye on your credit reports and scores, scanning for any irregularities or potentially fraudulent additions you might be unaware of. This helps detect fraud and prevent any long-term damage to your credit score.
Both ID Watchdog and IdentityForce offer credit monitoring services through their tools are slightly different. IdentityForce offers three-bureau monitoring as well as a credit score tracker. Subscribers can view monthly updates and use credit score simulators to understand how their financial decisions may impact their scores. ID Watchdog also provides three-bureau tracking and delivers instant alerts for irregular activity. In addition, the company has the option to freeze credit scores in case any fraud is perpetrated.
Information Protection
An individual's personal information in the wrong hands could have terrible implications, ranging from inappropriate behavior on social media to potential legal consequences relating to criminal records. Moreover, stolen financial information can lead to emptied bank accounts, unwanted loans, and other disastrous outcomes.
To keep track of your information, IdentityForce presents a strong identity protection suite which scans known harmful sites for potential abuse or misuse. This includes driver's licenses, email addresses, Social Security Numbers, and court records. Furthermore, the company offers an alert system when unusual activity is detected, including when someone tries to change your personal information.
On the other hand, ID Watchdog monitors 37 billion records, including court, criminal, housing, election, and driving records to check for identity theft. Apart from these efforts, the service also surveys the National Change of Address database to detect if anyone has used your personal details for online funds transfers, non-credit loans, and more. Moreover, ID Watchdog scans dark web black market sites where user information such as passwords and credit card details are sold.
Recovery Services
Companies offer identity recovery and restoration services for those cases when customers fall victim to identity theft despite their best efforts to remain protected. Trained agents are usually available to help customers fill out the proper paperwork and file the right reports, and will also assist throughout the process to ensure individuals can restore their identity without long-term consequences for their credit scores.
We were pleased to see that IdentityForce and ID Watchdog assist their clients should the worst-case scenario come to pass. ID Watchdog's restoration services are very comprehensive, including an agent assigned to your case who helps throughout the process alongside a guarantee for a full recovery when the process concludes. Additionally, the company offers up to $1 million in fraud insurance to replace the costs associated with the legal process and the theft. Overall, IdentityForce offers many of the same services, including the $1 million insurance, but also adds lost wallet assistance to help users quickly minimize the damage of losing credit cards and IDs from nefarious activities or even just accidentally.
Additional Features
Fraud Alerts. It's vital that your identity theft protection suite alerts you when it detects your information may be used illegally or suspicious activity is identified on any of your credit reports. IdentityForce offers alerts for a variety of reasons including new items on credit reports, change of address requests, and court record updates. Customers of this service are eligible for real-time alerts via email and SMS. ID Watchdog users also receive alerts via email and SMS if their information is found on suspicious sites or when fraudulent activity has surfaced.
Credit Score Simulators. Customers can benefit from knowing how their financial decisions impact their credit scores without risk, helping form a greater understanding of the implications of their potential actions. This is not a standard feature though, and unfortunately, ID Watchdog did not offer one. IdentityForce does host a simulator, along with credit score tracking tools to keep you informed of your overall progress.
Mobile App. Having access to protection tools directly from your smartphone lets you keep better track of your identity and informs you sooner if something is amiss. We found that ID Watchdog and IdentityForce both offer straightforward applications for both iOS and Android devices to serve a wide range of potential users.
Court Record Alert. In certain cases, identity theft will result in your name being used in court proceedings and potential criminal records being opened with it. In these cases, not knowing can result in relatively severe outcomes. To grant better coverage, both identity theft prevention services scan court records, alerting you if your identity shows up in any records.
Change of Address Alert. When your identity is stolen, one of the first steps fraudsters will take is to change your address to make it easier to apply for credit and other products. We were pleased to see that both suites scan your personal records and alert you to any change of address requests.
Customer Service
If the unthinkable happens and you find yourself needing to talk to someone, a strong customer service team is a must-have. ID Watchdog offers around-the-clock customer support via phone or email and provides individuals with a dedicated support agent if they require identity restoration. IdentityForce is also available all the time but goes the extra mile by providing a live chat directly on their website to grant instant support to users experiencing problems or asking questions.
For many people, the price ticket on the solution is the bottom line when choosing a service provider.
IdentityForce presents two identity theft packages: UltraSecure for $17.95 a month or $179.50 a year and UltraSecure + Credit (including 3 bureau credit monitoring, reports and scores, credit score tracker and simulator) for $23.95 a month or $239.50 a year.
ID Watchdog offers the ID Watchdog Plus plan for $14.95 a month or $134.95 a year and their ID Watchdog Platinum plan (including credit report and score) for $19.95 a month or $219.00 a year.
Why We prefer IdentityForce over ID Watchdog
In the battle of ID Watchdog vs IdentityForce, we have to give the slight edge to IdentityForce.
Apart from delivering more customer service alternatives, the service helps users plan for the future with their credit score tracker and simulator. However, each option hosts excellent solutions for credit monitoring with three-bureau scans, and ID Watchdog remains a great choice for people seeking an easy-to-use and affordable identity theft protection suite.
Article comments
Lack of customer service on sites like this can make the service so overwhelming to use.
My personal choice is ID Watchdog. Having the option to enact a credit freeze immediately is ideal if you want to stop identity theft after it starts. Also, being able to track my information on the Dark Web is also preferred.

Countdown to Ireland Trip
In a little over a week, I'll be heading to the airport, boarding a flight for Cork, and heading to the southwest tip of Ireland in search of some big autumn bass. If you know anything about bass fishing and/or Ireland, you won't need me to quantify the excitement.
One of the best bits is I'm taking a friend of mine along who has never caught a bass (or many other fish for that matter), so I'm looking forward to inducting him into the ways of rock-hopping in search of this wild predator.
Our destination is the Thatch Cottage in Cahersiveen, County Kerry, run by renowned and respected local guide John Quinlan. The man's something of a legend in Irish bass fishing circles, so the chance to fish with him will be a privilege.
Of course, it's a bit early to know what the weather will throw at us, but the tides look pretty decent and now it's just a matter of waiting out the last few days and making sure everything is packed and ready to go.
As ever with trips involving a flight, one has to try not to take tooooo much stuff. This, I have to say is proving pretty tricky. The fly-fishing gear is a little more straightforward, but the lure-fishing aspect is another story. Just when you think you've got everything you need, you'll read something about a pattern that's been doing the business of late, and you start convincing yourself you have to have it.
Of course, you probably don't, but it's the old problem – you've been looking forward to a trip for so long, you don't want to leave anything to chance.
Anyway, in the lure box is a mixture of soft plastics (Wave Worms, Xlayers, shads in various sizes and those Sebile soft baits I can't get enough of). On the hard lure front, I've got Patchinkos (the best of the bunch on my last Ireland trip), some Savage Gear Panic Prey (because Patchinkos really are quite expensive), Crystal Minnows, Rapala MaxRaps and a few others. Hopefully this will be sufficient. If that lot doesn't do the business, it'll be down to angler error rather what's on the end of my line. We shall see.
Anyway, the clock's ticking. Somewhere out there in the Atlantic depths is a big old bass who just can't wait to meet me. Or so I hope.
Will keep you updated with pics and posts throughout the trip!

As most of you know, last week (18.06.15) the Bell & Ross boutique in London has been officially inaugurated.
The boutique is located close to Bond Street, Regent Street and Piccadilly Circus in the Burlington Arcade. Compared to the other shops in this covered shopping arcade, the boutique is fairly big, large window displays, the space to receive customers goes over two floors, the administration office is located on the third floor.
Bruno Belamich and Carlos Rosillo inaugurated the boutique with a prestigious guest of honour, the great grandson of Sir Winston Churchill, Mr. Randolph Churchill.
Half of Burlington Arcade was privatised for the event. Music, champagne, finger food, photographer - and not to forget the usual very warm welcome of the Bell & Ross team.
Bell & Ross even have arranged for aviation disguisements, professional photographer and an printer on which everyone could print his pictures on the spot.
The crowd was very eclectic, journalists, military, admirers of the brand, customers and future clients.
Prior to the event we met with Armi and his charming wife. We have spent most of the evening in there enjoying company.
Antonin of Bell & Ross headquarters was there as well - of course.
And the watches on display! The X1 models to come (carbon, rose gold, both tourbillons), X1 boutique (2 exemplaires !) and X1. Edición Limitada, Rafale, Desert Type, 01-92 10th anniversary, WW2 Officer, WW2 Bomber and plenty of others.
Festivities ended around 22h00.
A huge "thank you" to the London and Paris team and a special thanks to Bruno & Carlos for this great evening!
And all the best for the London boutique!
