Readers of Ancestry Guru, and casual surfers who may happen across this fair domain, its time for an update at the end of January, 2010.
Here ’s Isabelle Seguin, Lenzr member Seguini the photographer that uploaded the highest rated image in Medicinal Plants in Nature photo contest sponsored by Toronto, Muskoka natural medicine clinic holding a basket with eight different Neal’s Yard Remedies including Rosewater Toner, Yarrow & Comfrey Moisturizer, Orange Flower Facial Oil and Orange Flower Facial Wash, White Tea Eye Gel, Geranium & Orange Body Butter for a Total Retail Value $330.00 all of these products are available for purchase in the sponsor’s online natural medicine store. You can read more about the winners and the results of all three contests and the January 1st 2010 Lenzr photo contest winners on the Lenzr blog.
The excitement is building on site again, in the form of the eighth photo contest Everyday Tangled Web which is designed to pinpoint the tangles that we create and use everyday. This challenge has become a heated competition with several excellent photos competing for top position in the index. There are wires and telephone lines and speaker cables and computer cords all mixed up under desks, and AC electrical cords spider web octopuses at outlets. This contest theme and the mayhem that has resulted from the idea was engineered by an office phone system guru living and working in Toronto. That company conceived of the idea and has donated the wonderful prize, a wireless headset.
Rob Campbell of Smojoe social media is speaking again on the subject of Story Funnels to Buckstops at The Spoke Club in Toronto, 600 King St West, on Tuesday Feb 2nd and there are more details on City Events . Now fans of Deb Lewis can tune to Twitter and WordPress for the latest and most up-to-date gossip in the party scene, you can follow City Events on Twitter @CityEvents
Deborah Lewis is City Events in Toronto
Deb Lewis has her own blog now, and her new Brian Gardiner template WordPress blog is surely the best place to glimpse Toronto’s best and most efficient and reliable events coordinator in Action. Deb is this city’s premier party planner and brand marketer. Now she call herself the chief experience officer at City Events and its true.. Behold she is a truly fascinating and beautiful creature.
Also available on Lenzr this month is an exciting new photo contest on Lenzr called Kids in Action that gives shutterbugs lots of creative latitude on a wide open playing field.
The prize in this challenge is a premier high quality NiteWhite teeth whitening kit that’s an advanced enamel bleaching product and usually only available at a dental office as it requires a trained dental practitioner to make the molds.
Sponsored by Toronto dentist the challenge is designed to highlight the obvious connection between healthy teeth and healthy kids… I get it! .When I look at that contest plate picture I wonder if that skateboarder is about to tumble and tear a tendon and maybe smash his front teeth or mash his molars in the concrete. But please dont misuinderstand that’s not our intention… Rather we dont necessarily want to see photos of tooth decay, dirty braces, or gum disease or baby teeth or anything like that … just kids in action.
If the winner is local, that person who is super skilled with a comera will be invited to stop by the office at Bloor and Sherbourne for a chat and custom fitting for the NiteWhite whitening trays. If the winner is from out of province then admin will ship the prize PLUS extra tooth floss and toothbrushes, toothpaste, and mouthwash.
WIN dental supplies for an entire year.
Both Lenzr contests END March 1st 2010. Contest open to all Canadians excluding Quebec and those 12yrs old and younger. Thanks for participating. Good luck!

Nov 18, shuttle buses, TTC Detour, Yonge St roberrific
3:28 pm
I was a passenger on the TTC heading south on the Yonge Line from Sheppard Station at 3:13 pm on November 18th when the train came to a stop
The passengers were herded onto Shuttle buses
Back at Eglington Station there was mayhem as thousands of commutters were headed to waiting buses and they crowded to get on
I ran into an old friend of mine from York university and his name was Brother Ian and he was yelling at the police to get a megaphone – his voice was so loud in that crowded bus station. The policeman singled him out as the loudest voice of discontent and called him over to the sidewalk – the policeman very wisely silenced him before he could infect the mob with his animosity and mob rule would rise.

National Fearless Day, prize, Richard Branson, video contest, Virgin Mobile roberrific
8:59 pm
Sir Richard Branson asks us to show him what it means to be fearless... and he promises to give some lucky Canadian $5000
National Fearless Day
Branson himself made headlines in the 1990s when he floated around the world in a helium balloon, and more recently he sailed across the Atlantic in an open boat. So he’s without question one of the most fearless businessmen on planet Earth. As such he’s perfectly qualified to judge a video contest that asks Canadians to submit their most fearless video for consideration and a chance to win $5000

Bell, Canada, CBC television, cell phone service rates, Dragons' Den, Kye Husbands, myCELLmyTERMS, Paul Peic, Rogers, Telus, Yale Holder roberrific
2:13 pm
Dragons Den episode4 , Season 4 played at 8pm Wednesday night, Oct 21st on CBC television. This is always very exciting television and last night was no exception as the investors were at their best, and the business that came walking in was all very interesting… But honestly nothing looking super profitable, except the four men from a new start-up web service that hopes to revolutionize the way Canadians buy cell time. That could be very profitable…
myCELLmyTERMS started strong as Kye Husbands explained how their process was an improvement on today’s existing service model, because on their website the customer chooses his own cellular service rate plan with all the desired trimmings, and then myCELLmyTERMS goes out and does the legwork to try and find dealers that are interested in aquiring the new business and willing to match each request point for point. This is win win as the customer gets ultimate choice and the dealer has the account… Yes the team was doing very well, until Kevin asked about ‘the monthlies’ and thats when it was revealed that the team was only charging Dealers a one time fee…
Kevin was upset at not getting any reoccurring revenue and his dissatisfaction was echoed in the expressions and statements of the other investors – Brett seemed anxious to get Kevin out of the arena and he would have left had Arlene not entered a bid of $200K cash and 200K in services.
Kevin wanted to ’squeeze their heads’ but Brett joined Arlene by offering to provide 100K worth of cash for a quarter of Arlene’s deal. And so that’s how it broke down. Paul Peic had the most transcending moment of the encounter when he leapt up on the riser to give Arlene a hug and a handshake as they accepted her offer.
This morning, I read @myCELLmyTERMS twitter update that reported that myCELLmyTERMS had over 10,000 visitors last night, and so right now I’m sure all four entrepreneurs are working hard, busy helping Canadians get better rates for cellular service.
