You don’t need me to tell you thatplanning a wedding is a wild, wacky emotional roller coaster ride.  But here’s the thing about emotions.  Emotions can either allow us to react topeople and situations in a healthy way OR they can trip us up and cause us tosabotage our relationships and plans. 
What we “think” influences what we “feel.”
Emotions that prevent us fromacting in a way that is in our own best interest are grounded in some veryirrational thoughts—lies––we play so often in our heads that we simply acceptthem as true, even though they’re not.

We say 'hey!' to a frozen Barnegat Bay

To contact us Click HERE





As we turned the corner on Bayshore Drive last Thursday, my ears began to ring after hearing Lori say: "Are those birds STANDING on the water?" Sure enough, a 1.5 hour drive, 45 min of packing, and 5 min of trailering the Lowe boat after leaving Drexel, Claire, Lori and I had arrived at the boat dock greeted by a frozen Barnegat Bay.

The intended mission? We journeyed to B-gat for a data download from my underwater sonic receivers which are currently logging movement data from three overwintering terrapins in Arnold's Pond. It's important to check these receivers to ensure that they are not damaged from the weather or boating activity, and also so the memory is not overloaded (they can hold up to 100,000 data points)!

While upset that our initial quest would have to be postponed, the three of us were still excited to see the bay in this condition. As ecologists, it is fascinating to observe our focus ecosystem in such a dynamic state from that which we are used to experiencing in June! We stayed for a bit at the dock to measure temperature and salinity at various depths with the YSI (below). The temperatures ranged from 1.2C at the surface to 0.7C about half a meter deep! Also, it was convenient that we had the stick pole (about 8ft long, used to stabilize the boat while downloading data normally) to poke at the ice from the dock, to see how thick it really was.

It seems like ice would be an obvious deterrent to our mission, and probably something we should have considered before venturing to Barnegat with a boat. However, my personal communication with locals varies in how 'normal' it is for the bay to freeze. Prior to leaving my receivers out over the winter, many people swore that the bay 'never' freezes. A local at the dock last week said that he didn't remember this ever happening, for instance. Since asking around more, I have heard from some locals that the bay always freezes at least in part, but never in entirety. This makes more sense, as you can see above, that not all of the bay was completely frozen...only where we needed to go with the boat, unfortunately.

Overall, returning to Barnegat in the winter turned into an incredibly informative venture for the three of us. Don't worry, the terrapins are fine - as reptiles, they can adjust very well to temperature changes! Next time, us humans will just have to check the weather first!

The Lighthouse Center in Waretown, NJ has recently been hit with several substantial rainstorms. During the most recent storm, there was quite a bit of flooding and a tree actually toppled over on to the roof of the dining hall! The fearless groundskeeper, Pola Galie, snapped a few pictures of the damage. Although our summer home may not be in perfect condition right now, I have no doubt we will be back in business by mid-June and completely ready for our first Earthwatch team!

Hello terrapin enthusiasts!

Wow, so much has happened this year, I don't even know where to start!

First of all, the Drexel terrapin crew went to Chauvin, LA in November to present our research findings at the diamondback terrapin working group symposium on the ecology, status, and conservation of the diamondback terrapin. We learned a great deal about other kinds of studies being conducted on the terrapin; most of all though, we learned how much we still don't know about the terrapin, and more research is necessary to gain a greater understanding.

Over the Summer of 2010 I collected over 500 reflectance spectra from more than 60 individual terrapins. From these data I have been able to compare coloration within and among individuals, as well as model the visual system of the terrapin. From these analyses and from previous research on turtle vision, I speculate that terrapins have tetrachormatic vision (UV, blue, green, red), and communicate across all color channels, especially in the UV. Intra- and inter-specific signaling in the UV has been documented in flower-pollinator relationships as well as a signal communicating fitness to potential mates (e.g. birds, jumping spiders, ocellated lizards).


In addition to the vision modeling, I have processed most of my blood and tissue samples. I hope to finish these up and send them out for genotyping so I can correlate possible differences in reproductive success with differences in phenotype (coloration). If UV patterning or coloration is a signal of fitness in the terrapin, then I may find that terrapins with a brighter UV signal may have higher reproductive success.

On top of all this, last March I completed my written candidacy exam, and on April 12 completed my oral exam to become a PhD candidate! Now that I am a candidate, the work has really started!

This Summer I hope to gather more reflectance spectra data, blood samples and hatchling tissue samples for genotyping, as well as design a system for measuring in situ underwater irradiance. But the only way this can be done is if you sign up to become an Earthwatch volunteer! Not only will you help me collect data to elucidate the visual ecology of the terrapin, you will get to join one of the research staff everyday to collect, track, and release terrapins. Some weeks we collect almost 100 terrapins! That's a lot of processing...so come sign up and help us out!

Real Love Is Only What You Give

To contact us Click HERE

What my marriage taught me is that real love is only what yougive. That's all. Love is not "out there," waiting for you. It is inyou. In your own heart, in what you are willing to give of it. We are allcapable of love, but few of us have the courage to do it properly. You can takea person's love and waste it. But you are the fool. . .Love is joy. Those wholove, no matter what indignities, what burdens they carry, are always full ofjoy. Recipes for a Perfect Marriage
I recently came across this quoteand presumed it was another sappy sentiment on love and commitment, but Istopped when I read the phrase, “You can take a person’s love and wasteit.”  I’ve never really thought about howI could “waste” someone’s love.  Isuppose I’ve focused on how a person could waste my time but not how I couldwaste their love.
What does it mean to waste aperson’s love?  Kind of a no-brainerquestion, but still I’ve been reflecting on it. The dictionary definition for “waste” is:  to use, consume, or spend thoughtlessly orcarelessly; to pass without being put to use.
If you think about it, at the heartof your vows is the promise not to waste each other’s love––not to treat eachother thoughtlessly or carelessly and to always put the love your partneroffers you to good use.
I like that notion of actuallyputting each other’s love to good purpose. While love makes no demands, in order to experience love fully you haveto believe that you’re worthy of love. And to receive the love of another person is to feel energized.  If you feel loved, then you have to feelenergetic in wanting to do some good, to make less bruised this crazy world ofours.
Love is always offered in a spiritof hope––hope that despite whatever messiness there is in the beloved’s life,she or he, because of our love, will be able to make sense of it all and createa meaningful life.
To believe in your partner’s loveis to believe that their love speaks truth to any of your fears.
If you waste your partner’s love,you’re wasting an opportunity to become more fully you and so it is true foryour partner and your love.
I think that in this exhaustingworld of ours, to love mindfully and generously is a wildly brave thing todo.  So go wild!

Why Opt For Surf City Vacation Rentals?

To contact us Click HERE


The United States coastline is huge. Hence there are thousands of vacations rentals available for people wanting to spend their holidays by the ocean. They are particularly popular in the summer as residents flock to the beaches to work on their tan and enjoy one of nature’s most beautiful gifts.

Surf City, NJ is one such vacation resort located 57 miles East-Southeast of Philadelphia and 71 miles North of New York City. While the basic idea behind every vacation rental is the same, there are some attributes that make this city in the Garden State a better choice over other resorts. This article will illustrate some of those features.



Beautifully Designed Vacation Rentals

One of the most intriguing sights in Surf City aside from the beautiful New Jersey coastline is the elegantly designed vacation rentals. They are spacious, comfortable and designed with the highest standards of luxury and comfort in mind. Hollywood celebrities regularly frequent this beautiful city and can be seen vacationing all year long. Most of the Surf City vacation rentals are located right on the coastline and provide a breath taking view of the ocean from the balcony or terrace. They are suitable for families of all sizes. 


Competitive Prices Compared to Other Resorts
Aside from scenic beauty, another thing that sets Surf City apart is its competitive pricing. Given the location, the quality of their rentals and nearby facilities, Surf City vacation rentals are competitively priced. The west coast is just as famous for its resorts as the East if not more. However their prices are sky high compared to those along the east coast. Surf City has the unique distinction of having the best price for quality vacation rentals on the east coast!

Relaxing Atmosphere and Beautiful Weather
There is no doubt that the weather plays a big role in deciding on a vacation spot. The wrong type of weather can single handedly ruin the entire trip. Many vacations rentals are at the mercy of the weather all year long. Surf City vacation rentals however are one of those lucky few who reap the benefits of excellent tropical weather throughout most of the year. Due to its close proximity to the Atlantic Ocean, the weather is mostly warm and sunny, ideal for a vacation rental.

Easy Access to Other Major Cities
While this may not be a direct benefit, it cannot be ignored. Surf City is within driving distance from major cities like Philadelphia and New York City. Residents from these cities are frequent visitors of Surf City. Visitors also pay a visit to these cities to enjoy the night life. It’s ideal location and fast and easy access to major metropolitan areas makes it a very promising contender for vacation destination. These are just some of the facts that set Surf City vacation rentals apart from the rest. One thing is for sure. Surf City is a vacation spot and it has taken into account everything that can be done to ensure a great and memorable vacation.

How to Choose a Home Builder for a New House

To contact us Click HERE




Deciding on a home builder can be a tough decision, especially since you don't want to make the wrong choice for such an expensive project. There are several things to consider when choosing a home builder. As long as you do your homework, however, you will be able to locate the perfect builder for you.

Instructions

• Schedule a meeting with a local realtor to tour model homes in your area. Don't worry; if you choose one of the builders that your realtor shows you, he or she will get a commission from the builder, so don't feel bad about asking them to do this. This is the best way to see a builder's work up close, and also to determine which builders operate in your area.

• Check with the National Association of Home Builders association. They keep records of home builders and may be able to give you information on builders in your area. Keep in mind however, that smaller builders may not be associated with the NAHB.

• Pick a couple of builders who might work for you and schedule a meeting with each of them. This is the time to find out if they are able to build you what you want. For instance, ask them if they do custom bathrooms or decks. Tell them everything you want in your new home and see if they can comply. Also, ask if they handle getting the necessary permits. Many builders do, saving the homeowner a lot of hassle and time.

New Home builders, PA

• Ask your potential builder if they are bonded and insured. Just as important, find out if they make sure that their subcontractors are insured as well before hiring them. An uninsured builder or contractor can be disastrous for a homeowner if something goes wrong. Ask to see copies of their paperwork.

• Check with the Better Business Bureau in your area to see if there have been any unresolved complaints against your potential builder. Obtain as much detail on them as you can. Just because there was a complaint in their past does not mean they are not a good builder. Get all the details before making your decision.

• Obtain a copy of the builder's contract and have an attorney review it for you. He will explain it in depth, which will protect you. It is important to understand your contract before you sign it.

My New Book On Writing Your Vows!

To contact us Click HERE

This has been a creative year forme and I’m excited to share that I’ve written my second book: Ever Thine, Ever Mine, Ever Ours: Choosing The Right Words For Your Vows.
While this isn’t a step-by-stepinstructional guide for writing your vows, I hope that it inspires you as yousearch for the right words that give your partner a glimpse into your heart andmind at this moment in time.
Here’s an excerpt from the book. ..
Enjoy!
The heart of your ceremony is theExchange Of Vows .  It’s why everyonedrops what they’re doing so as to come to your celebration.
In terms of how you say your vows,you have. . .
FOUR OPTIONS
Option #1:  You select aversion of the traditional vows (seeBonus #1) and then your officiant phrases the vow as a question, askingeach of you, individually, “Do you take ______to be your wife/husband, etc.”  and you each respond “I Do!”  The problem, though, is that if someonesneezes, the vow is gone!
Option #2:  You repeat afteryour officiant the traditional vows you’ve selected.  Hopefully, the celebrant will be kind andspeak as slowly as you need!  
Option #3:  You write yourown vows.  Many couples, though, areafraid to write their vows for fear they’ll sound cheesy.  I can honestly say that I’ve never heard vowsthat I thought were “cheesy.”  Granted,some were more eloquently worded than others, yet all were poignant.  How great it is that you have someone in yourlife that compels you to search deep in your heart for words that express thepassion of your commitment. 
Here’s the thing. . .you can benervous about hundreds of eyes staring at you, but you don’t have to be nervousabout saying something lame.  Call me adie-hard romantic, but I believe the committed heart isn’t able to offer cheesysentiments!
Option #4:  Some brides andgrooms find that just the idea of writing their own vows puts tremendous pressureon them.  However, even though they’re nervousat the thought of writing their own vows, they wish they could.  This fourth option is a combination of boththe personal vows and the traditional vows.
Sometimes couples want to take amoment to say something personal to each other, though it’s not couched as a“vow” vow.  These are simply words ofgratitude, appreciation, and love.  Withthese personal words, you’re not “vowing” anything; rather, you’re simplygiving voice to some of the sentiments that are deep in your heart.  NOTE:  Your words must bewritten down.  On your wedding day, noone expects you to have anything memorized, not even your names!
After you each have said yourwords of appreciation, then, with a nod to tradition, you repeat after theofficiant some version of the traditional vows. Or, if you want, you can simply say “I Do” when the officiant poses thevow as a question.
This fourth option relieves thestress of “how do I write my vows?”  Since these are words of love, there isno “right” way or “wrong” way.  And if, beforethe ceremony, you or your partner (or both of you) realize that you’re not upto saying your own words, then you let the officiant know and you’ll simply usethe traditional vows and no one will know that you backed out of your originalplan.
Which option to choose? Simple––the one that makes you feel most comfortable.  You should never do anything in your weddingthat will make you feel uncomfortable or cause you potential stress.

Beach Portraits in the Rain! (Long Beach Island Photographer)

To contact us Click HERE
If you are in New Jersey then you know about the awful weather that we've been getting. It's literally raining every day! I've been lucky enough to get all my beach taken portraits on Long Beach Island so far. On Saturday I had a couple of sessions scheduled later in the evening however later Friday night I realized it was suppose to get real bad during the day and evening and the morning there was only a 30 percent chance of rain. This was the only possible day both of my client's were able to do their portraits since everyone would be around. So I woke up extra to get to Long Beach Island extra early (left about 7am) and took a chance hoping they were able to do it first thing in the morning when the weather was suppose to be OK. When I was close to LBI started to make the phone calls to see if they could do it in the morning and I was able to schedule them, one at 9 am and one at 10 30 am. It started to rain right before my later session and it was a big group. They were troopers and dealt with it and we go some great portraits, one group of 17 including the the grandparents two dogs, and each individual family! Take a look! To get more information about my beach portraits please call (800) 757-3491 or email me at rob@rwilsonphotography.com


In photoshop I made the ocean in the above image with a little more blue. Since a bad rain storm was rolling in the ocean wasn't as blue as usual. I will do this to there finished order.

It was literally raining in the above image and it got worse. But you would never know! I will just have to retouch the rain drops out of their shirts!
