DAVID LONG – from David Arthur
The history of David Arthur Vineyards and the Long Family in the Napa Valley reaches back to the 1950s but it wasn’t until 1970s when David Long began planting vines on a land acquired by his father. David Arthur’s location and use of estate grown fruit is integral to the full-bodied, complex wines associated with the label. The David Arthur wines are produced with a dedication to crafting dynamic, complex vintages.

PETER FERGUSSON – from Tenuta di Biserno
Tenuta di Biserno is Lodovico & Piero Antinori’s new joint venture. The brothers consider the winery to represent the pinnacle of all their achievements. Only the very finest grapes are selected for the blend, which is a carefully crafted balance of Merlot, Cabernet Franc and a very small quantity of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. In the best vintages, Biserno is a wine of depth, intensity, complexity, longevity and elegance. A thought-provoking wine which reflects the terroir and the excellent microclimate of the coastal area of the Upper Maremma.

Best SEO in TO? Who is the best?
CityEvents conducts the search for the best SEO company in Toronto. Watch and learn valuable secrets and professional search engine optimization tactics as five self proclaimed SEO experts will be interviewed by the audience to find out “why they THINK they are the best”.
This totally interactive event (the audience picks the winner) will set the stage for the city’s best SEO firms to present a …compelling value proposition and showcase their offerings alongside their competitors – indeed its their challenge to help the audience make sense of their murky world.
SEO experts will pitch CityEvents and take questions from the audience to prove they can optimize keyword targets using basic and advanced search engine optimization tactics. Will they give up any secrets? The rules are always changing in this game and fortunes are won and lost on keyword rankings – this process will confirm the importance of an effective SEO practitioner. It might even glimpse the dark side of SEO, the ‘black hat’ tactics that could make a business rich overnight, or get their site ‘delisted’ just as fast.
At the conclusion of this event the audience will vote and decide who they think is the best SEO firm in TO. That’s the firm CityEvents will hire and resell their services to all their event clients. Networking afterward allows guests to mingle and share more stories and secrets to help each other better understand how to improve their own websites, and ecommerce pages.

Fireball brings together over 500 of the city’s movers and shakers to the Capitol Event Theatre for a steamy night on the town. Guests are invited to sip on cocktails, indulge in oysters on the half shell, enjoy Russian inspired delicacies, bid on sizzling silent auction items and test lady luck at the raffle. The dance floor moves and grooves all night long and is awash with red-clad guests keeping rhythm with the DJ. This year it’s guaranteed to be the hottest ticket in town celebrating Russian Heat!
The Cause
Fireball’s goal is to raise much needed funds for Sheena’s Place; a non-profit organization providing support for men and women affected by eating disorders. Since its inception in 1999, Fireball has raised over $850,000 net for programs at Sheena’s Place.
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Over 15% of people with anorexia will die from complications related to their disorder. With only 20 publicly funded beds and limited private inpatient beds wait times can range from 6 months to over a year.

Apple iPad Prizes in Autumn Lenzr Photo Contests
August 30, 2010 by deblewis

The Best Photographs win iPads in three Lenzr photo contests that end Oct 1st 2010
Lenzr appeals to web savvy shutterbugs of all ages and skill levels who know they can upload very specific images into friendly competitions in exchange for real prizes; three Apple iPads are being dispensed this month in separate but equally exciting challenges that end Oct 1st 2010. These contests are populated with user submitted photos. The members also vote, and by selecting their favourites, they pick the winners.
The View From The Roof photo contest is taking in all sorts of slightly elevated cityscapes and wonderful landscapes from all across Canada. There are strange and slightly elevated views from the roofs of buildings and farm silos alongside business flat roofs in downtown Toronto. Images from all across the nation are collecting in the contest queue; shots from Ontario are viewed beside submissions from British Columbia and Canada’s Maritime Provinces. There are even some colourful cityscapes that were lensed half a world away…
The contest is sponsored by an industrial roof repair service that installs a white extremely durable ToughRoof system in the greater Toronto Area. Dan Sheridan is a flat roof repair specialist and there’s a lot more information about his company, All Weather Roofing on the Lenzr blog and there’s even a picture of Dan Sheridan on a thread published about View from the Roof photo contest on Toronto Forums.
The Morning Sunshine photo contest requires getting up really early and taking pictures at the crack of dawn. Its a magic hour thing and in the morning is when the magic happens. Submit shots of the purple sky and yellow moon above the pink granite at the Havelock Bluegrass Festival. Now do you feel it? Morning is a special time and the first rays of sunlight have travelled farther than all others and they’ve often been bent out of shape and into a warm glow by the heavy atmosphere of a misty morning in late summer. Look at Michael Reichmann’s image on the left. He generously donated his shot of a ‘Barn At Sunrise’ which perfectly illustrates the contest theme.
The contest is made possible by the generous donation of an Apple iPad from a portable solar power generator (PSG’s) assembly firm in Ontario. These guys custom design and manufacture trailers that have solar panels on the top and all the tools and equipment your business needs inside – wherever possible they hope to replace gas and diesel generators in favour of battery powered and solar recharged inside their ‘Mobile Solar Work Units’ which are very cool. This company makes Canada look good, and green. Although they’re located here in southern Ontario, they’ll ship product anywhere in the world.
The Solarline Mobile Solar Work Units are clever and clean and efficient. Most importantly, they deliver clean renewable energy. With one solar panel hinged on top you can charge batteries to power a wide array of tools and equipment.
People Building Things photo contest is easy to enter and win. Although the topic does require pictures of humans and they must be building something, anything showing any form of construction with any size people will no doubt be accepted in the match.
This iPad prize was provided by a solar powered deck building company that uses a custom built Solarline Power work unit which is also their equipment trailer. The firm was founded by a few forward thinking craftsmen that intend to make a market for sustainable business and tehir vision of the future includes green construction sites as part of a planet saving solution. Matt and company build backyard fences, gazebos, and wooden decks of all shapes and sizes using the energy they collect from the sun. There’s more information about EcoDeckBuilder on the Lenzr blog.
In all three web challenges, the registered member that uploads the highest ranked photo WINS IPAD! Voting begins September 20th 2010, the highest ranked photo wins prize when the Contest Ends Oct 1st, 2010. Must be 13yrs old or older to enter, open to all Canadians, contest not valid in Quebec.
