Whether you call it cornhole or bean bag toss, one thing is for certain – this is a fun game for all ages and it can be played all year long! Growing up, we had some cheap bean bag toss boards that us kids played with in the summer. As I got older and moved to the Midwest as an adult, where the game is known more commonly as cornhole, this became the go-to game for tailgating, cookouts, and just hanging out with friends and family.
If you've never played this game, then you are in for a treat. Not only is it relatively easy for anyone to play, it's perfect for kids, teens and adults. But just because anyone can toss a bean bag doesn't mean that it isn't challenging, in fact, it takes a little work to perfect your technique to become the winning team. If you're looking to buy your first cornhole game set, or looking to upgrade your old one, then let us help you out with our recommendations and guide below of the best cornhole boards.

Our Top Regulation Size Cornhole Board Sets Reviews
To help you make a decision on which of the recommended boards are ideal for your needs, take a moment to read our reviews below. Our editors to took the time to share their thoughts on the boards that we rated highly and made the cut as one of our favorites on the market right now.
Underneath our reviews is a quick buying guide to help you make an informed decision. Whether you are looking for ACA approved, tailgate, or all weather boards, we have the best of each selected below.
GoSports Solid Wood Premium Cornhole Set
Price: Click here for current price
Size: 4 feet x 2 feet
Material: Wood
Weight: 19 pounds per board
What's Included: 2 cornhole boards, 8 all-weather regulation bean bags with a heavy-duty tote bag, and rules
Our choice for the best cornhole board set is the GoSports Solid Wood Premium Cornhole Set. They are premium boards made with pine wood and a varnished surface.
There a few reasons why we picked this board set as the best:
1. Lightweight. Compared to boards that you might make on your own or boards made of heavier woods, these boards only weigh 19 pounds a piece and are easily movable and portable.
2. ACA Regulation Size. Most people will be using their boards with friends and family, but in case you ever decide to host a cornhole tournament, you won't have any complainers. (Well you might, but not about the boards!)
3. Customization. The boards come plain with just a varnished surface so you are able to paint them yourself, or add a cornhole board decal if you so desire.

You can even sit it in a puddle of water and it will be fine!
This one comes with a total of eight bean bags – four in red and four in blue. They are filled with plastic pellets, so you don't have to worry about those getting damaged outside from the weather either.
Though these are not made from the regulation plywood, they do meet ACA regulation sizing. So, if you're preparing for a tournament these are the proper size for you to practice on. Just remember that the surface of these boards will have a different effect on the sliding bags compared to a traditional plywood option.

Our Top Tailgate Size Cornhole Board Sets Reviews

GoSports Cornhole Bean Bag Toss Game Set
Price: Click here for current price
Size: 3 feet x 2 feet
Material: Aluminum
Weight: 12 pounds per board
What's Included: 2 cornhole boards, 8 all-weather regulation bean bags, premium carrying case, and rules
Our choice for best tailgate sized cornhole boards are the GoSports Cornhole Bean Bag Toss Game Set – Superior Aluminum Frame. They have several different designs you can choose from – American Flag, Football, LED, Standard, or Red + Blue. Our favorite is the LED set that has a light up ring around the hole which enables you to see it in the dark.
Click here for reviews and pricing on Amazon
Because they are made of aluminum, the boards are super lightweight and can be brought anywhere. The set includes a premium carrying case which allows you to carry the boards and bags all in one. If you choose to go with the LED version, the set comes with the AA batteries necessary to power the ring.
GoSports Classic Cornhole Set
Price: Click here for current price
Size: 3 feet x 2 feet
Material: MDF
Weight: 15 pounds per board
What's Included: 2 cornhole boards, 8 all-weather regulation bean bags, premium carrying case, and rules
Looking for a cheap cornhole board set that will still be a fun time at any party? The GoSports Classic Cornhole Set is the way to go for a good time without breaking the bank. They have a stylish look with red and blue stripes going down each board. The boards are made of MDF material so they are still light but give a wooden texture, which you might prefer over the aluminum set suggested above.
Click here for reviews and pricing on Amazon
As with all GoSports cornhole boards, this set also includes 8 all-weather regulation bean bags (4 red + 4 blue), a premium carrying case, and rules. There are a few reviews that suggest the carrying case might not be as "premium" as listed. So if there is an issue with the bag, you might have to make two trips or have a friend help carry them. This set is not weather proof, so we do not recommend playing in the rain or leaving it out overnight as this will cause damage.
GoSports Solid Wood Premium Cornhole Set
Price: Click here for current price
Size: 3 feet x 2 feet
Material: Wood
Weight: 15 pounds per board
What's Included: 2 cornhole boards, 8 all-weather regulation bean bags with a heavy-duty tote bag, and rules
This is the same set as our best cornhole boards listed above, so we won't get into too many details on this. If for some reason you want to have the 3 foot version, this is still an excellent board. This is one of the priciest tailgate board options so it probably isn't the best choice if you are trying to save money. However, if you don't have a specific reason for getting the smaller version, we highly recommend getting the regulation sized boards. You can find either in the link below.

What To Consider Before Buying
Let's face it – this game has some pretty basic components – the boards and the bean bags. So, there isn't a lot to consider in terms of what your buying. So, it really comes down to preferences and budget. With that in mind, here's a few things to think about before you start shopping.
Weatherproof or Not?
Do you intended to play out in the rain or snow? If so, you should look for boards that have a weatherproof coating that protects them from the elements outside. If you're just getting one of these sets to use at home, then you can probably skip the weatherproof coating. We find that this feature is most beneficial for tailgating purposes and for people who end up having drunken games with their buddies (cause beer can damage it just like rain).
Got A Design Preference?
From your favorite college team to the American flag, you can find pretty much any design on the tops of cornhole boards. If you're super picky about that design, then it might take you bit longer to find what your looking for. Or, you might even need to pay for a custom set of boards. Expect to spend a bit more too, if you need something special. Otherwise, you should be able to find plenty of good cornhole boards on the market with a design that you won't mind.
Do You Need Special Bean Bags?
If you're purchasing a set, then it will most likely come with bags for playing. Sometimes these bags are high end with designs on them, and other times they are just solid colors. If the look of the bean bags matter to you, then know that before you go shopping. Honestly, I find that they get pretty dirty during play, especially when someone misses the target, so you shouldn't worry too much about what they look like.
Is It Regulation Size?
If you take your cornhole games seriously, then you'll only want to buy some boards that are regulation playing size. Otherwise, you're just playing with a practice set. If you're not sure what meets regulations, then here's what to look for:
- 24-inches 48-inches for the size of the board
- made of plywood about a half-inch thick
- six inches in diameter for the hole
- hole placement should be centered 9-inches from the top of the board and 12-inches from both sides
- back edge of the board should be 12-inches from the ground
- front edge of the board should be between 2.5-inches and 4-inches from the ground
Anything other than that can still be played, but does not meet official regulations for proper tournament sizing as put forth by the American Cornhole Association.
Cornhole Rules
Cornhole is almost always played between two teams of two players each, much like horseshoes. Partners stand at opposite ends, called pitcher's boxes, which are located to the right and left of each cornhole board. The two partners should stand on the same side, facing each other. This is done so that no advantage is given to either team. Click here for the official ACO cornhole rules.
Each cornhole team should have 4 bags of a single color. Like with horseshoes, all eight of the bags start at one end of the board.
Before the game begins, a coin flip is held to determine the order of play. The winner of the coin flip can elect to throw first or second, which is really just a matter of preference, as each position has its advantages and disadvantages.
One of the partners on Team A shall kick off the cornhole action by throwing a single cornhole bag at the opposite cornhole board. Players may throw the bag from any distance or angle, provided they are standing behind the cornhole board on their particular side. Once Team A throws their first cornhole bag, Team B will follow by throwing theirs. Game play continues in this fashion until the two opposing players on the same side of the court have thrown all of their cornhole bags.
If at any time a cornhole bag hits the ground and bounces up onto the board, the bag in question shall be removed from the playing surface.
The next round starts with the two opponents on the other side of the cornhole court throwing their bean bags, again alternating turns until all 8 of the cornhole bags have been thrown. Play continues in this fashion—alternating sides and turns—until one team reaches 21 (game) points.
Scoring and Winning in Cornhole
Scoring in cornhole is tallied as the game progresses. At the end of every round—when the two opponents from one side of the cornhole board have thrown all eight of the bean bags (4 each), the score should be tallied. In cornhole, points are awarded according to the following guidelines:
Three Points
- Cornhole bag goes through the hole. When the cornhole bag goes through the hole on the cornhole board at the opposite end of the court, the team that made this shot will be awarded 3 (round) points. This is the highest possible score with a single cornhole bag.
One Point
All of the following scenarios will result in one point for the throwing team:
- The Cornhole bag is hanging part way into the hole
- The Cornhole bag is on the playing surface
- The cornhole bag is hanging off the edge of the cornhole board, but not touching the ground.
Zero Points
Players/teams will receive no points for a given cornhole bag if any of the following are true:
- The cornhole bag is off the playing surface on the ground
- The cornhole bag is hanging from the playing surface, but part of it is touching the ground.
- The cornhole bag is hanging from the front of the cornhole board, and the part that is hanging is touching another cornhole bag on the ground (Exception: if the cornhole bag on the ground can be removed without causing the hanging cornhole bag to hit the ground, one point will be awarded for that bag.
Important to remember here is that the score is tallied after each round. Therefore, the only automatic points a thrower can guarantee for his team is a throw that goes through the hole on the cornhole board. Bags that land on—or are suspended over—the cornhole board will certainly receive one point if they happen to remain in that position throughout the round, but keep in mind that the opposing player can always aim for those bags with the goal of knocking them off the board.
When scoring cornhole, there are "round scores" and the "game score." The cornhole team with the highest round score each round, adds the difference of the two scores to their game score. In other words, if Team A scores 8 points in a give round, and Team B scores 5 points, Team A, as the highest scorer, would take the difference between the two scores—in this case 3 (8-5), and add those 3 points to his team's "game score."
After the scores are tallied after each round, the cornhole team who wins the round is given the honors and must throw first in the next round. If both cornhole teams have the same round score then the game score stays the same and honors stays with the team who had them the previous round.
Play continues in this manner until one team reaches or exceeds a game score of 21 points.

A Review of Week 2
We are 10 days into the school year and the class continues to prove that they are an exceptional group of children. We have most of our routines in place and students are taking ownership of a lot of their learning. Word Study is the best example of this and children now know how to work with each other to complete closed sorts, play word games, and quiz each other in preparation for small group instruction.
We did our first session of PE with Mr. Farnsworth and had our first music classes following Mrs. James' departure. We finished the week with work around visual patterns and numbers. Be sure to ask your children about this experience.

Dedicated youth helps veterans stand tall
HonorsUncategorized November 27, 2016 Mark Fausz
By Becky Robinette Wright
King's Korner banquet room at the Chesterfield County Airport looked like a patriotic Santa's workshop on Saturday. There were lots of helpers on hand to assist with a very special project, assembling canes for veterans. No elves were spotted but people and youth from all walks of life pitched right in.
The program is called Standing Tall, and it is the brainchild of 13-year-old Thomas Reilly.
"It all started when I met Clarence Walters, a veteran," said Reilly, who stood humbly in front of the audience and volunteers. "Clarence was just awesome and I really learned a lot from him about some of our history. When he passed away, his cane was given to me and his family asked me to pass it on to someone who could use it."
That's when a light came on in Reilly's mind. "But, why stop with only one cane," Reilly said, "There are so many veterans out there that should be helped and remembered."
So Reilly went right to work. He formed Standing Tall and began to seek donors and volunteers; he also began to seek out veterans.
Reilly recruited his schoolmates, and neighbors, and then he issued a call for volunteers from the community. His plea was answered.
Gary Bartle, a retired school teacher and Debbie Bartle, a current teacher, were on hand to help Reilly assemble canes. "He is so special," said Debbie Bartle, speaking of Reilly., "He is just an amazing person. Look at what he has gotten done."
Reilly's cause had filled the banquet room to capacity. Even veterans themselves were helping out.
Norm Van Bogart, a wheelchair-bound veteran who lost his legs, sat busily assembling canes. "I think this is wonderful," Van Bogart said. With determination, he worked to finish his cane, one of 200 that would be assembled and donated to his fellow veterans.

Are Airlines at Odds With Trump, Boeing?
In a meeting last Thursday between President Trump and executives of several U.S. airlines, the headline outcome was Trump's proposal to fix a "totally out of whack" revamping of the Federal Aviation Administration's (FAA) overhaul of the country's air traffic control system. The president was sympathetic to changing the FAA's behind-schedule and over-budget upgrade while at the same time making no promises.
Trump also sidestepped another issue that has roiled U.S. carriers: the Obama administration's refusal to take the carriers' side in a dispute over the Open Skies agreement that allows three Middle Eastern airlines to fly disputed routes to the United States. U.S. legacy carriers United Continental Holdings Inc. (NYSE: UAL), American Airlines Group Inc. (NASDAQ: AAL) and Delta Air Lines Co. (NYSE: DAL) used the occasion of the meeting with Trump to make their case for imposing limits to the Open Skies deal.
While the President was again sympathetic, he also was aware of the impact on Boeing Co. (NYSE: BA) of reducing flights — and future purchases of new aircraft — for Emirates Airlines, Etihad Airlines and Qatar Airways. According to a report in Politico this was Trump's response:
"I know you're under pressure from a lot of foreign elements and foreign carriers. I've been hearing that a little bit," Trump said at the start of the discussion. "At the same time, we want to make life good for them, also. They come with big investments. In many cases, those investments are made by their governments. But they are still big investments."
The airlines and the pilots union are also unhappy with the Ireland-based subsidiary of Norwegian Airlines, which plans to begin transatlantic flights later this year at a rumored one-way fare of $75. The airline plans to fly from second-tier airports on both sides of the Atlantic and to use both its current fleet of Boeing 787s and new 737-9s that are scheduled for delivery beginning this spring.
The pilots union has complained about the makeup of flight crews, but the airline has said that 50% of its crews and pilots are or will be U.S.-based. This issue did not come up at the airlines' meeting with Trump, according to Politico.
The U.S. Travel Association, an industry group representing "all components of the travel industry," sent a letter to Secretary of State Rex Tillerson last Friday supporting the existing Open Skies agreement:
By reducing government interference in air travel, [Open Skies] agreements have led to hundreds of thousands of new American travel and manufacturing jobs, billions in U.S. economic growth, lower airfares for travelers, more flights to airports to and beyond major gateways, and new opportunities for U.S. airlines. … While their arguments are couched in compelling terms, the Big Three airlines are not seeking a level playing field to compete. Instead, they are lobbying for government intrusion that would benefit themselves, but hurt American manufacturing jobs, threaten U.S. economic growth and undermine U.S. national security interests.
Norwegian, Emirates and Qatar Airways are among Boeing's top 10 customers. Emirates currently has unfilled orders for 174 aircraft, 24 of the existing 777-300ER and 150 of the 777X scheduled for deliveries beginning in 2020. Norwegian has 144 undelivered planes on Boeing's order book: 125 of both current generation and 737 MAX planes and 19 787-9s. Qatar Airways is awaiting delivery of 105 planes: 75 777s, including 60 of the 777X and 30 787-9s.
These planes total well over $100 billion in new orders. If the orders are cut or cancelled, it could be difficult, if not impossible, for Boeing to replace them and that could mean thousands of lost manufacturing jobs in the United States. It is highly unlikely that President Trump will sign up for that.

Massieville native OK after Alaska shaken by powerful earthquake
A 7.0 magnitude earthquake rocked buildings Friday morning in Anchorage and caused lamp posts and trees to sway, prompting people to run out of offices and seek shelter under office desks. (Nov. 30)
WASILLA, ALASKA - When Scott Rickey decided to follow his dream of living in Alaska last year, the Massieville native expected there could be an earthquake at some point but nothing like the one on Friday morning.
According to USA Today, the 7.0-magnitude quake struck at 8:29 a.m. local time about seven miles north of Anchorage, the USGS reported. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths. Officials have since canceled a tsunami warning for coastal areas of southern Alaska.
Rickey's home sits atop stilts in the Wasilla and Big Lake area roughly 12 miles from the inlet. When the shaking began, the house swayed on its stilts and blew open the back door which Rickey, 53, and his two dogs quickly ran out.
A home security camera captured the moment a major earthquake shook a family in Palmer, Alaska. The quake struck at 8:29 am local time about seven miles north of Anchorage. USA TODAY
"They were the first ones out the door and didn't want to come back in," Rickey said of Roscoe, a beagle, and Lacey, a mixed breed.
While he'd experienced a few smaller earthquakes when the Air Force veteran was stationed there between 1986 and 1989, they were nothing like the one on Friday.
"This one scared the bejesus out of me," he said, adding the aftershocks have also been pretty powerful causing him to lose his equilibrium as he attempts to cleanup. "The tremors make you feel like it's coming again."
Rickey hasn't ventured from his home which lost power and sustained minor damage - mostly items toppling over with some breaking. However, photos he's seen of a highway about 15 miles away have massive cracks and area where the road has collapsed.

A Quick Analysis On Swift Programs Of Whey Protein
The internet is a vast sea of information, and tips on building muscle are a dime a dozen. If you choose to build muscles then you need to try and understand what the needs of your body are. This article includes some tips that will let you get started on the right track to be successful.
Make sure you have enough vegetables in your diet. Some muscle-building diets ignore vegetables while focusing on complex carbs and proteins. But, vegetables offer important nutrients often not found in those other foods. Vegetables are also rich in fiber. Fiber is like a catalyst that helps your body make better use of the protein.
It is vital to warm up before you start your muscle building routine. As you strengthen your muscles, you also place a heap of additional stress upon them that may increase the likelihood of injuries. If you take the time to warm up first, you can do your best to prevent any type of injury from happening. Prior to lifting, exercise lightly for about 10 minutes, and follow it up with about 4 light warm-up sets.
Eating enough protein is a great way to build muscle. A good way to consume protein is through shakes and supplements. The best times to consume these supplements is right after working out and before bed. Limiting yourself to one shake a day when losing weight is one of your overall fitness goals. If you are trying to achieve increased muscle mass, you should drink up to three every day.
Unless you include carbohydrates in your daily diet, you will not get the best results from your routine. Carbohydrates give your body the fuel it needs to perform any exercises you want to do. When you work out heavily, you should have between two to three grams of carbohydrates for every pound of your body weight.
Compound exercises are essential to achieving optimal muscle growth. This type of exercise requires you to use different muscles at the same time. Take the standard press; it works your triceps, chest and shoulders all at once.
You workouts should last around 60 minutes, each. Once a workout goes beyond the hour mark, the body will produce excess cortisol, which is the human stress hormone. This cortisol will block testosterone – wasting all the work you are putting into your weight training. For best results, keep your workouts under sixty minutes so that you don't produce excessive amounts of cortisol.
Create illusions that you appear to be larger than what you actually are. Increase the size of the muscles around your chest and legs. Bulking up this way makes your waist look smaller, and it can make you look larger overall.
Many people overestimate how much protein they need in their diet at the beginning of their bodybuilding efforts. If you are consuming more protein and calories than you are using, then you will gain fat instead of muscle. Increase protein intake slowly so your body can transform it into muscle well.
A good muscle building program should prioritize strength above all else. This will result in your ability to lift weights that are heavier. In the beginning, you should increase your lifting capability about 5 percent every two sessions. If you're not meeting goals, rethink your routine. It is possible that you are not fully recovering between workouts if you seem weaker than you did in a previous workout session.
Set goals which are both realistic and short term. You may desire to do things, like squat a few hundred pounds within the first month of training, but this might not be possible for you, and you want to avoid injuring yourself. After you determine your baseline strength, attempt to improve each time you perform your workout routine. Sometimes you may actually surpass your short-term goals. This can motivate you and encourage you to keep working out.
Creatine is a great supplement for adults who wish to build muscle mass. Creatine increases training endurance when paired with a protein- and carb-rich diet. Speak with your doctor about the risks of these kinds of supplements to see if this is something you should be taking.
When you are working out to increase muscle mass, try to keep your diet full of fresh, whole foods. Do not eat processed foods that are full of preservatives and artificial ingredients, which can lead to impairment of your immune system and make you sick. By consuming the healthiest of foods, your immune system and muscle focus will be much improved.
You need the right diet to get the best muscle-building results. There are nutrients your body needs to rebuild muscles in the body. There have been studies done that show drinking protein shakes after a workout is beneficial for muscle fiber rebuilding.
To make sure that you get enough protein in your diet, try to eat at least 20 grams of protein at each meal. Spreading out your protein consumption in this way will help to ensure that you are eating enough of this valuable nutrient to help you build muscle effectively. Let's say you need to eat 180g of protein every day. Eating six meals a day, each with 30 grams of protein, is the most sensible way to achieve that goal.
Like you've previously read, knowing the required essentials of bodybuilding is important to a successful muscle development effort. See to it that you educate yourself on how to build muscle the right way. The information provided here will get you started toward achieving your goals.

But let's talk training. Iron Jay was both improvisational and methodical. A high-volume adherent, he never counted reps, and he rarely knew in advance exactly which exercises he'd perform. Mid-workout, he'd contemplate what was still needed to hit every area of a body part before driving home. Even his trapezius was attacked with maximum intensity, focus, and variety via three markedly di erent exercises. This is in sharp contrast to most body- builders, who just throw in a few rote sets of shrugs at the end of their shoulder routines. It's that attention to detail that helped make Jay Cutler legendary. "Work traps from as many angles as possible." "With shrugs, I don't hold contractions. I just get full reps, up and down." "I've done traps with shoulders and back. There's no right way.

The biggest mistakes people who are arrested for DUI make are talking to police and self-incrimination. Saying things like "I smoked pot just before I got in my car.", or, "I'm drunk." are not helpful. Let the officer do their job to determine whether or not you're intoxicated; don't do their work for them.
Another common mistake I see is arrestees talking to other people about their case. Just because someone is not a law enforcement officer, what is said can still be held against you. Your statement can be used in court.
Not complying with, fighting with or having a bad attitude with police are all big "no's" as well. If you are in that situation and you are getting arrested, just go along with what the police are telling you to do. Don't resist arrest. It only makes things worse. You may pick up even more charges and make it more difficult for the prosecutor to give you any sort of leniency later on. If you're compliant and respectful, then it's easier to tell the prosecutor that you're a good person who just made a mistake.
Cursing at the police, screaming at them, fighting, etc. will not help you—particularly if you want to go to trial and the video may be shown. Where there are police, there is usually a video camera. There are video cameras inside most police cars nowadays, so if you're shown cursing out a police officer and being disrespectful, that is absolutely not going to help you. It may even make the prosecutor believe that they have the upper hand. They will know you are not going to want to take the case to trial because the video reflects so poorly upon you.

- You need an image optimizer which should not add its company watermark.
- You need mass image optimization option.
- You need the latest technology or updated software.

This Post Is For:-
- Photographers Who Have Websites
- Bloggers
- Website Builder Users
- Web Designers
- All People Who Are Uploading photos to their website.
- And Everyone should know this…!
I will give you a small introduction about the image before listing the best ways. I highly recommend you to read this. Don't skip this paragraph.
What Is Image Optimization, Compression, Re-Size & Quality
Let's see one by one. I know you are a human & not a robot. So I explained everything in easy human understandable language. 😉
Image Quality: – How an image looks good. It is common sense.
Image Resize: – You can change an image dimension. That means you can resize a picture into small or big. But, if you resize, its quality and bytes also change exponentially. Resize images only if you haven't enough place to fit it in pages or anywhere. Don't resize for reducing the loading time of a webpage.
Image compression: – To reduce the size, it means reducing its bytes. For example, if picture size is 1MB, then after compression, its size may reduce to 500 KB, 400KB, etc. Image compression will not guarantee its quality.
Image Optimization: – To make a perfect image for web or online. This is the best way to reduce the image bytes without losing its quality or dimension.
No website builder optimize images for the web. (i.e Decreasing the file size without reducing the non-zoom quality of the photo for the typical screen width. So that web pages load faster and user satisfaction, click pages & spending quality time will increases. The bounce rate will decreases. So more conversion. These all things helps to boost the Google rank. But if you zoom, you see a little bit of quality losses. In fact, it will remove unnecessary generated data & repeated data combination on the photo) Image quality, clarity, dimension & data or file size are completely Unrelated ..!
Many people think the more those 4 factors, then the more image looks good. But it is a Myth. Optimized Images look as good as the original photo. So you should optimize photos before you upload it to the website. We reviewed 100's of tools to optimize images without losing the quality. But almost all tools reduce quality. Finally, we found a tool, that passed all our & photographer's requirements. That best tool is surprisingly FREE..!!. & Unlimited..! Do you want to know what it is? The answer is Facebook..!! Yes. Create a separate Facebook account or make privacy only you, then Upload images to Facebook & download it…! Yup. The downloaded images perfectly optimized for the web without losing quality.
(Note:- Before upload, resize the image if you want. But NEVER resize after downloading it from the Facebook or any optimization tool. Because most of the resize tool increases the size & the optimization get destroy after resizing. But you can drag-drop, decrease & increase image length inside the Wix editor.)
If you are using WordPress or website builders like Wix, you may get many plugins & apps for image optimization for the web. But did you ever notice, how they are efficient?
Will really they optimize images? Or they just show some percentages to satisfy us…!
There Is No One WordPress Plugins To Optimize Images With Google Standards.
If you use website builders, your images automatically optimize for the web. But In our test those are very bad performance. If you resize, Sometime its size will increases exponentially..!!
For example Website Builder, you can resize, but if you make your image very large, then it becomes very difficult to load because photo size will increase several MB instead of KB..!!
For example, See this screen shot.
I took a screen shot from a website builder editor. Most of the people try to resize to reduce image size. They think the image will load faster. But resize is not a good idea. If you want to load your website faster than others, you should know about images. Usually, every website's 60% to 70% of the storage occupies images only. That means images decides your website speed. So this post is very important for you.
Recommended Post for you : How To Make WordPress Website Faster Than 98% Even 100 Plugins Activated
Change your perception about image quality. Big size will not indicate an image quality. You can't measure an image quality without getting help from advanced software. Google will not love big images but the optimized images.
So What is the best way to optimize images?
Keep Calm & Read Slowly.
Use Facebook Image Optimizer For Free With Cleverly ..!!
Do you know Facebook has a world's best image optimization software? Oh..! you never heard this. It is not one of the apps in the Facebook but the FB itself..!!
How to use this?
Here I explained the way.
This is the best and easiest way to optimize your images. You no need to do anything.
- Log in to your Facebook account
- Go to your profile.
- Click on photos
- Create an album
- Once you clicked on +create Album, you will see popup window box from your PC.
- Select the photo you want to optimize.
- It is starting to upload. Don't write anything about the title or name. It is simply wasting your time. Because once you download, its name becomes some alphanumeric characters. So rename your images once you downloaded.
- See this page's bottom left. You will get the privacy option. Don't make it public. Just Select privacy: Only Me
You can add many photos at once
- You can upload more images at once.
- Once you uploaded all your photos, you can download all pictures at once in album page. Go to album page where you uploaded all images. Click on Setting icon on an album page. If you get confused, see below screen shot.
- Then download all photos..!! with just one click
- All photos will download in .zip format.
- Extract it.
That's enough…!!!
You will get all your images with web optimized in the means of the highest level of web standards.
For example:-
Before uploading to FB.
Image size – 1.23 MB
Dimension -953X454
See its properties.
After Downloading from FB
image size – 48.5KB
Dimensions:- 953X454 (same resolution of the original photo)
See its properties –
I didn't find any difference of FB optimized image from the original one. Everything is same except the picture size. That's we want.
I will not recommend Google Plus or other social websites for your image optimization. We found Facebook has a robust software that optimizes your photos automatically when you uploaded. If you download Facebook uploaded photos, then you can consider those are the best-optimized images in the world with fulfilling "Duck To Luck" team's all 6 general check-list as well as 5 check-lists for advanced users..!!
Note: – Facebook has its own limitation. If you uploaded high-resolution photos or full-screen photos, your image size slightly reduced. However, it is a minor problem. In general no one notice the difference. But sometimes you want big images to enhance visitors subconsciously, then don't upload your photos to Facebook for optimization.
2. Free Online Photo Optimizer
There are so many online photo compressors, optimizers, enhancers, resizers, and it continues..!
In the world, the highest number of applications are developed for photo editing and its related tasks.
So it is very difficult to find the best one for you. Competition is more, but scams are also more..!!
Most of the image optimization apps are nothing to do at all. To developing a perfect app needs a lot of technical knowledge about photo processing & pixel data. Many software engineers and programmers start to develop picture optimization applications, but they fail. So they simply push their apps in online and use many tactics to make people pool. They just show numbers and percentages, how much reduced your images. But they never follow standard rules.
Don't be a fool. Read below predictions.
If your images were optimized, then Your images may lose it's originally Quality.
It Resizes automatically so that you can't get the big pictures. You will get small one those are useless.
It may be very Costly for You
It may violate any Google standards those violations you can't know easily.
It will break any one of the Duck To Luck Image Optimization Checklists.
We researched, tested, verified 100's of different online image optimization tools, web apps, & websites.
For the God sake, we found 3 image optimizer those passed our all tests, and these obey all our "Duck To Luck" checklists.

- Then you no need to do anything. Automatically optimized image will download within 2 seconds.
Before uploading to compress.photos
I use the same photo that I used in Facebook image optimization.
You can refer to scroll above to see Its original size, dimension & properties.
It's size – 1.23 MB
Dimension -953X454
After downloading from imageoptim.com/mozjpeg
After optimized its size became 42.7KB
Dimension became the same as the original one has. You can see its properties and details screen shots.
You can adjust color quality and image quality. If you adjust it very high, then its size may vary a little bit. (For example, my optimized photo's size becomes 70KB instead of 42.7KB from the original size 1.23MB), but it will always be the best.
It has Mac app only. If you use Mac, you can get it here Download Image Optim Mac App For Free
This is the best image optimizer ever. It obeys all our "Duck To Luck" checklists.
- Online photo compressor for the web.
- Mass image optimization available.
- Your optimized photo's Shareable link (Coming soon)
Drawbacks :-
- Mass image optimization process is not good. If you select a folder with a large number of pictures, then it is unable to make processes.
- The shareable link is may harm to your copywriter materials.
- If their shareable links are public, then Google thinks, compress. Photos website is the original image creator. So once you upload and then download and then you will upload that same photos to your website. First, you upload all your photos into a compress. Photos, so it is not okay for you if you are a professional blogger.
How It Works:-
Go to compress.photos
click on "add files" button (green color)
click on "start to upload" button (blue color) located next to the add files button
It starts to upload and at the same time it optimizes.
You need to wait just 2 seconds. Your photos become optimized and available for download.
Before uploading to compress.photos
I used again the same photo that I previously used.
Its size was 1.23MB
Dimension – 953X454
After downloading from compress.photos
Size :- 53.26 KB. ( You can see this from the above screen shot)
Dimension remains the same.
And It obeys our "Duck To Luck" all checklists.
3. CompressNow
You just go to Compressnow.com
Upload and download. You no need more explanation. You can do this. It is same as compress.photos, but here you can't get shareable links (However in compress. photos shareable link is not working. They are developing. Hope it will make it). So your images are secure. If you are a serious blogger, then I suggest Compressnow instead of compress.photos. Imageoptim is the best, and its optimization process is more superior than others.
3. Download This Best Image Optimizer Software
If you have limited internet, or you have 1000s of photos to optimize, then I recommend you to download software. So that you can optimize your images in offline quickly.
Always offline processes are very fast. It means if you use offline tools for your image optimization, then you can do it quickly. I use this method.
In Offline optimizer (Downloadable software), we didn't found completely free with all our "Duck To Luck" checklists. But you can get many paid software with the best quality.
Description:-This is the fastest way to optimize images in the world.
- Both Offline & Online optimization option available (But its online process is very slow)
- Very easy method. Right, click option.
- Mass image optimizations in 1 second.
Drawbacks: – One of the major drawbacks of this software is all optimized images get a small watermark in the bottom right corner. Only paid user can get watermark free optimized images. Its price $29. One time payment. So you no need to worry.
(Once you paid $29, you can enjoy the lifetime. This is the cheapest software with obeys all our "Duck To Luck" checklists.)
How It Works:-
- Download & install ImageOptimizer.
- Go to which photo you want to optimize.
- Right click on the pictures or folder
- You will optimize images option.
- Click it.
That's enough.
Your image will optimize with satisfying all our "WebsiteBuilderLy" Checklists.
If you found superior image optimizer tools, apps or software than our "Duck To Luck" collections, please comment below.

So I've brought home boxes of stuff from my mother's house, right? In some of the boxes are books I've mentioned on DIR. I flipped through The Many Colored Land and I thought, Maybe I didn't actually read this. Then I looked at the paper edge opposite the binding. You can tell whether I've read a particular book by whether the pages are darkened. I fiddle with the pages as I read, which deposits oils from my skin, thus leaving a record of my progress, especially if my fingers have gotten inky from the text. I squinted at the book. Yes, there's the smudge line. It's about 2/5 of the way down the page. I must've read it.
I have the sequels. I could start over from the beginning. I could read the series all the way through.

He missed the music.
I met him when I was attending a P-FLAG meeting here in Claremont (long since defunct) about a dozen years ago. He said that he was looking for a new faith community, no longer feeling welcome in the faith community that he grew up in because of his homosexuality. I could tell that religion or faith was at least as important to him as it is for me, and a friend and I suggested he might like joining us at the Quaker meeting in Claremont.
He attended the meeting for a few months, and it was nice having another gay guy there. He said that he liked the quiet and the open-mindedness, the absence of dogma. He also said that he "missed the music" and ended up joining his boyfriend at the Church of the Brethren, close by in La Verne.
Earlier this month, I skipped meeting and checked out a service at the Church of the Brethren. I had recently attended a performance there by Peterson Toscano, a gay, Quaker performance artist who deals frequently with the Bible, and I figured that a church that invited him to perform would be cool. Also, I had long heard about the Church of the Brethren, that it is a "peace church" like the Quakers, and, besides, the La Verne church is a lovely, old church.
I saw my P-FLAG friend, who I hadn't been in contact with in years, there, singing in the choir, and his boyfriend/partner was playing the piano and had written some music for the service. It was clear that they are very happy and totally at home at the church. It was nice to see this.
It was also clear that music is quite important at the church. It seemed to be almost a tenet. In fact, other than the simple stained glass windows, the only art in the sanctuary had to do with music, depicted in three scenes from the Bible.
It made me think yet again of what I saw on a poster or banner at a Catholic mass when I was growing up: "He who sings prays twice." I have often thought of this, even putting it on a leather bracelet that I made for a summer camp counselor.
Yes, as I suspected, the Church of the Brethren is far more Bible-oriented, with scripture read, quoted - and, of course, sung. But it all seemed, at least on a initial visit, pretty mild, pretty gentle, without much pressure to believe certain things or in a certain way. I'm not saying there was no dogma, but it wasn't like when I was visiting the gay-based Metropolitan Community Church a couple years ago and felt, in a weird and terrible irony, that I didn't belong if I didn't believe in or accept Jesus as my savior, assuming I'm a sinner and/or inadequate, in need of saving. In any case, I liked the emphasis on, as was said during the service, "doing, not saying."
I didn't get what I wanted at the MCC, but there are also times when Quaker meeting is just too quiet and small for me, especially, I recently realized, when I have to get up early on Sunday morning. There are times when I miss the music. And, although I usually resist it, there are times when I want to be guided and read to and even lectured (a bit).
I am at home at Quaker meeting, and I'll always be a Quaker, an unprogrammed, silent-meeting Quaker. But don't be surprised if I sometimes show up at the Brethren, or - who knows? - another church, now and then.

Are your communication skills lacking?
Are you tired of not getting what you want because you don't know how to express it?
Do you often feel misunderstood?
Is your business not getting through to people?
In this article I will take you through some inspiring and super effective ways to communicate.
After you finish reading this page you will feel like you have a new positive and productive way to get through to your business prospects.
The ability to tune in and sense someone's personality. What I mean here is sensing their energy vibration.
When you start to really pay attention you will be amazed at the important information you will pick up. You find out what makes the other person tick.
You want to make a successful presentation. Understanding how someone responds to high energy or low energy can make all the difference.
If the person is nervous or uncomfortable you can see that in their body language. Notice if they have their arms crossed. Or if their arms are in a relaxed open position.
If the person has a closed body posture you know immediately you are not getting through to them. This is your queue to change your approach.
This may be happening because you are trying too hard. So let whatever point you are trying to make go. Move on to another approach until they feel comfortable.
Keep watching them until they change their position. Once that happens they have let their defenses down. Now you can get through to them. They have to be open to hear what you have to say.
We all look at life through our own reality. No one person sees the world the same way.
That's why it's so easy to be misunderstood. It's important that people understand what you are trying to tell them.
Take some time to think about what you're going to say before you start the conversation.
Keep it simple so the other person gets a clear picture of what you're saying. Once you have made your point ask the other person what they heard.
This is where you will notice the difference in everyone's realities. What one person thinks is not what you probably think.
By asking them what they heard you say you can clear up any misunderstandings.
A good way to do that is by using examples. This puts them in your shoes and they can see where you are coming from.
You want to know what the other person likes and dislikes. This way you will know how to speak to them so they respond positively.
That doesn't mean you adjust what you like or dislike. It means that you are going to communicate with them on their level.
When I am in any type of selling situation I always ask as many questions as I can. This way I know how to present my idea or service in a way that is of value to them.
The only way to know what is of value to someone is by asking questions. They will tell you exactly what they like and don't like. It is up to you to pay attention.
Communication is a two-way street. It's a nice balance of give and take.
By being friendly and give them the benefit of the doubt. The more you do this the more likely they are to respond back with that same respect.
I have found that people are most comfortable with people who are like them. If you put yourself on the same wave length you will bond with them.
People respond very well to similarities.
Have you ever heard someone say, "Oh you're just like me." We are all looking for what is familiar so we can share that common bond.
When you bond with them you create an excellent starting point for developing a great relationship.
When I am with someone I allow their energy to meld with mine. If they need a boost then my energy will help lift them up.
If I need a calming effect I allow their energy to sooth me and together this makes an ideal balance.
Listening is also a form of flattery. Statics show that the person who does the most talking enjoys the conversation the most.
You gain points for listening and you learn what it is you need to know.
If this is a potential client you want to make sure you understand what they are looking for. This way you can focus on those points.
Always listen more than you talk. You will know what turns them off. You will also know what they need to hear to close the deal.
Most novice sales people make the mistake of talking after they already made the sale.
If you keep talking you will talk yourself right out of the deal. Once someone says yes I want it. You stop right there and sign them up.
Listening is your golden ticket to understanding your prospect and gaining their respect.
Take the time to develop your communication tools and you will see the world open up to you.
Let's continue this conversation on communication skills. I offer Free Juicy Success Tips that I don't share anywhere else.

text: Premium oral and beauty care brand Rembrandt, part of the Johnson & Johnson group, says it has re-branded by updating its packaging featuring a design that aims to rejuvenate its share of the tooth whitening market.The new packaging is being launched through a campaign entitled The Brilliant Mouth Experience, and is being showcased at a dedicated temporary boutique in New York City.Describing the packaging as 'breakthrough', the company says that re-branding aims to redefine the oral care category, and in particular the tooth whitening segment by saying 'bye bye to boring toothpaste'.The Rembrandt brand, one of the oldest whitening brands on the US market, has a traditional and long-standing history, but because of its image is perceived by some to be a little old fashioned.The new packaging and marketing campaign is designed to break with some of that tradition and to compete with some of the biggest names in the business business, such as Crest, which have been slowly increasing their share of this segment.The new packaging design is simplistic, going for a minimalist look, with straight-forward color-coding to determine each product line.The move should do much to differentiate it from the increasingly elaborate designs that are currently screaming for the consumer's attention on store shelves.However, with many consumers now believed to be confused or simply fed-up with elaborate packaging and dubious product claims, the marketers of the Rembrandt brand are hoping that its back-to-basics approach will prove the way forward.Currently valued at $500m in the US, the tooth whitening market has been inundated with major launches in recent years, as well as being affected by claims that some of the ingredients used in certain products can be perilous for tooth enamel.Fighting back against these challenges, Rembrandt believes that its re-branding defies the market over-crowding, as well as spurious claims made by competitors.The Rembrandt re-branding is being showcased at the temporary New York City store in Manhattan, where the new product lines are being promoted under the monica, 'The Brilliant Mouth Experience'.Billed as a unique oral care experience, consumers visiting the store will have an interactive retail experience. This means that after each product purchase the store shelf flashes up with a message about the product. There will also be the opportunity to have a photo taken, which will be used as part of an ever-changing collage within the store premises that depicts consumers' mouths.

A Change in Thinking After Cancer
It can be an awkward feeling when you all of a sudden go from almost weekly procedures to being cancer free.
Tamera Anderson-Hanna
PUBLISHED October 19, 2017
Tamera Anderson-Hanna is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, Certified Addiction Professional, Certified Rehabilitation Counselor and became a Registered Yoga Teacher while coping with breast cancer in 2015. She owns Wellness, Therapy, & Yoga in Florida where she provides personal wellness services and coaching and she is a public speaker on wellness-related topics. You can connect with her at www.wellnesstherapyyoga.com.
It was a very awkward feeling to go from having a weekly medical appointment for a year to being cancer-free and completing all needed procedures. Initially there was a sense of freedom and happiness, but then fear reared its ugly head. I caught myself thinking what if the cancer comes back?
Everyone is different when it comes to treatment and procedures. Maybe you have or had a port and can look forward to having it removed as you move forward in treatments and move closer toward being cancer-free, but what will life will be like with the freedom of not having to go to appointments and procedures? There is often a feeling of success when you move forward living cancer-free, but the down time and change in routine can also play tricks with our mind. While treatments, medical procedures and invasive testing is often undesirable, we learn at some point they are a necessary part of life with cancer. Then, the tests and procedures become expected and routine. While there is a lot to celebrate after cancer, our schedule changes back to what life was like prior to diagnosis, and it may initially feel as if something is off or missing. The change of where and when to be somewhere can, by itself, feel awkward – almost as if something is wrong. This can then be associated with fear. We form habits based on our routines, and once done with treatment, the empty time and lack of worry can lead to new worry and fears, which often are not grounded in reality. What follows are some tips and an explanation of managing healthy and unhealthy fears based on life changes post-cancer.
Change challenges habits and routines we have created in our life. Habits – both healthy and unhealthy –become tolerable for some because it is what we become accepting of. We learn do things in the same way without thinking unless something or someone challenges us to think or act differently. If you have a habit of dressing every morning before eating breakfast and you are asked to eat breakfast prior to dressing you will likely feel as if something is wrong or out of sync.
When discussing change, I often asked clients to take their watch off their wrist and place it on the opposite wrist and wear it for five to 10 minutes. We then discuss their observation and how they feel. Often the response is "uncomfortable." It feels uncomfortable or awkward because we develop habits that determine the order we go about doing things, how we do things and the time frame in what we do things during the day. When something disrupts our schedule or way of doing something, it is initially uncomfortable, but not necessarily harmful. It is important to evaluate what is leading to the discomfort. If it is not life-threatening or harmful, then we are merely experiencing life out of our typical routine or habit. This leads to a concept called cognitive dissonance. Our thoughts and behaviors are not in sync with each other but nothing is necessarily wrong.
If you are now more familiar with the process of habit formation and change, you may now be more open to processing your new life post-cancer. Yes, it feels awkward, but the discomfort doesn't have to be associated with irrational fears such as thinking about cancer coming back. The new time and change in your routine is just that – a change.
This time of change may lend itself to reevaluating your daily or weekly schedule along with your life goals. Overall, are there ways you could be more productive now that you have time back in your life? How would you like to use that time? Can you fill your newly found free time with healthy habits such as exercise, meditation, new hobby or way of networking? Some of the changes can lead to improved diet, having more appreciation of just enjoying life or taking things a step further to pursue a new career or other life goals. Maybe you want to reevaluate your life in greater detail. Seeing a career counselor, dietician, exercise coach or maybe even a life coach might help guide you to new goals and adventures you can pursue in life.
No matter what you decide to do with your newly found free time, just understand that habits take approximately 30 to 45 days to develop and once established, they will then begin to feel comfortable. So, use this time to potentially make important changes to your life. Most of all, enjoy and celebrate your new diagnosis of being cancer-free.
