General Questions
How Does Grocery Delivery Work?
When placing your order / during checkout, you will be presented with a small calendar, from which you will select the delivery date and a 4-hour time "window" for your grocery delivery. (Special Note: Deliveries are made from 8:00 am till 9:00 pm, 7 days a week).
Where Do You Deliver?
We currently offer delivery to Walt Disney World Resorts
Where do the products we sell come from?
We shop for groceries in much the same way YOU would. We use the same reputable grocery suppliers and shop for price, quality... VALUE. Basically, our business is to find the best value and offer it to YOU with the added convenience of delivery to your Disney Resort!
How are my groceries packaged?
Groceries are methodically packaged under sanitary conditions with special care given to fresh foods and perishables. All frozen foods are packed into insulated containers that keep frozen foods frozen while isolating them from other packaged goods such as produce. When you receive your groceries, they are in the same condition they were in the grocer's case. When alcohol is delivered it will be delivered at room temperature because bell services doesn't have enough refrigerator space to hold the alcohol cold until your arrival.
Do I need to be present to receive a delivery?
No the resort will hold them for you and any perishables will be stored in the refrigerator for you. When alcohol is delivered it will be delivered at room temperature because bell services doesn't have enough refrigerator space to hold the alcohol cold until your arrival.
Am I required to "tip" the delivery person?
Tipping of our delivery staff is optional. You are not required to do so.
Can I reschedule or cancel my order?
In the event you need to reschedule please contact us immediately. A minimum of 3 days before the scheduled delivery date is needed to avoid a 25% restocking fee. Rescheduling within 1 day of your delivery date is subject to a 50% restocking fee. We will work with you to find a time that will meet your needs.
In the unfortunate event you wish to cancel your order, again, we need to know at least 3 days prior to the scheduled delivery date to avoid a 25% restocking fee. If canceling within 1 day of your delivery date, or the same day of your delivery a 50% restocking fee will be applied. We will apply a credit to your credit card account within 5-7 business days. For other payment methods, please call for refund details.
Is there a delivery charge?
Yes, but it's only $14.00! For orders over $200 the delivery fee is FREE!
Same day delivery is additional $30.00 and next day delivery fee is additional $20.00.
The primary benefit for same day delivery is the convenience, which can be different for everyone. Families with small children like the service because it gives them more time to spend together doing other activities.

Do you deliver to ALL Orlando area Resorts and Hotels
We deliver to Orlando Walt Disney Resorts. Please refer to our FAQ section to get a complete list of resorts that we deliver to. Deliveries are made between the hours of 8:00 am and 9:00 pm daily.
Are my groceries delivered directly to my hotel room?
Any deliveries to a Disney Resort will be placed in bell services according to Disney policy. Once you arrive contact bell services and Disney staff will take your groceries to your room.
Please Note:
It is possible your order may be delivered to bell services earlier than your scheduled delivery time. For questions please call us at 866-855-4350.
Will my cold and frozen items (perishables) be in the same condition when I receive them?
Yes, most hotels have a refrigerator and freezer to store your perishables. They will be logged-in under your last name at bell services/luggage room. Just stop by or call bell services when you arrive, and they will arrange the delivery to your room. If you are not staying in a Disney hotel, we recommend calling your hotel in advance to discuss and understand their delivery policies, procedures and to find out if they have a refrigerator/ freezer to store your perishables.
NOTE: All Disney Resorts have refrigerators and freezers in their luggage rooms to store your perishables until you arrive. The "Value" and "Moderate" resorts typically have small refrigerators (1.7 cu. ft.) for your room use, therefore we recommend 1/2 gallons of milk versus 1 gallon containers. Sizes of refrigerator/freezers vary by "Deluxe" resort. We recommend calling the resort for details on the available size for your room. Disney Vacation Club Villas (1, 2 and 3 bedroom units) have full size refrigerators and freezers. Feel free to order all the perishables needed for your family's stay.
How much info do I need to provide on the order to make sure it arrives at my hotel?

Dec 1 (Reuters) - New Zealand dairy Fonterra Co-operative Group cut on Friday its forecast earnings for the financial year after a tribunal determined it must pay Danone SA NZ$183 million ($125.10 million) for recall costs incurred by the French company.
Fonterra said forecast earnings per share for the 2017/18 financial year would now be 35 to 45 NZ cents, instead of the 45 to 55 NZ cents previously forecast. It also said the decision would not have an impact on its forecast farmgate milk prices.
A unit of Danone recalled some types of infant formulas sold under the Karicare brand in 2013, after its milk powder supplier Fonterra said there was a risk of bacteria in its products that could cause fatal botulism.

Cardiomiopatia restrittivaTamponamento cardiacoSindromi costrittive pericardiche
situazione acuta e grave
Occurs due to rupture of the heart or aorta, trauma, or as a complication of catheter or pacemaker procedures
Acute cardiac tamponade is generally sudden in onset, may be associated with chest pain and dyspnea, and is life-threatening if not promptly treated. The central venous pressure is typically markedly elevated, while hypotension is common due to the decline in cardiac output. The heart sounds are often muted.
Occurs due to neoplasm, uremia, or idiopathic pericarditis
Patients may be asymptomatic or may complain of dyspnea, chest discomfort or fullness, peripheral edema, fatiguability, or other symptoms referable to increased filling pressures and limited cardiac output.
The physical examination may reveal hypotension with a narrow pulse pressure, reflecting the limited stroke volume. However, patients with preexisting hypertension may remain hypertensive.
Pericardite idiopatica
Dissezione di AA
Sindrome post pericardiotomica
Early stage
mild to moderate elevation of central venous pressure
Advanced stage
intrapericardial pressure ventricular filling, volume
impaired organ perfusion
fluid accumulation within the pericardial space resulting in
increased intracardiac pressure
progressive limitation of ventricular diastolic filling
reduction of stroke volume and cardiac output

Competition for room in the abnormally fixed pericardial space (chamber interaction) is by far the principal mechanism
blood pooling in the lungs during inspiration
Dolore toracico
Dolore addominale
Sazietà preoce
Critical tamponade is a form of cardiogenic shock,
and the differential diagnosis may initially be elusive.
Since most symptoms are nonspecific, tamponade
must be suspected in many contexts — for
example, in patients who have wounds of the chest
or upper abdomen and hypotension or in those who
have hypotension preceded by symptoms of an inciting
pericardial disease, such as chest discomfort
and pleuritic pain.

Cianosi periferica
Ovattamento dei toni cardiaci
Polso paradosso
First described by Kussmaul in 1873 as a palpable decrease or absence of the radial pulse during inspiration.
Kussmaul's Sign
venous return increases with inspiration and a high right atrial pressure resists filling resulting in an increased JVP
Raise sphygmomanometer pressure until Korotkoff sounds disappear.
Lower pressure slowly until first Korotkoff sounds are heard during early expiration with their disappearance during inspiration.
Record this pressure.
Very slowly lower pressure until Korotkoff sounds are heard throughout the respiratory cycle with even intensity.
Record this pressure.
The difference between the two recorded pressures is the Pulsus Pardoxus.
Significant pulsus paradox is greater than or equal to 10% of the pressure at which all Korotkoff sounds are heard with even intensity.
Severe pulsus paradoxus can easily be palpated in the radial, brachial, or femoral pulses as a weakening or disappearance of the pulse during inspiration (which is best observed by watching or palpating the rise and fall of the chest)
An important clinical skill for following patient is the ability to estimate the severity of pulsus paradoxus:
Using a sphygmomanometer in the standard fashion but deflate the cuff more slowly than usual
During deflation, the first Korotkoff sounds are audible only during expiration, but with further deflation, Korotkoff sounds are heard throughout the respiratory cycle.
The difference between the systolic pressures quantifies pulsus paradoxus
Do not instruct the patient to breathe deeply during this evaluation. This can influences the severity of the pulsus
Pulsus paradoxus precedes severe hemodynamic deterioration
When pulsus paradoxus is detectable in cardiac tamponade, the tamponade is at least moderate in severity
Almost all patients with pulsus paradoxus from tamponade need to have pericardial fluid removed

The central blood volume and the filling pressure of the RV can be estimated by measuring the size of the IVC and its response to respiration
Normally, the vena caval diameter will be < 17 mm, and will decrease by > 5 mm during inspiration. The negative pressure exerted by thoracic inspiratory expansion is of a magnitude similar to the mean RA and RV diastolic pressure
With central blood volume and right heart filling pressure, the IVC becomes dilated > 20 mm, and the ability of an inspiratory effort to collapse the vessel is lost
The IVC is the single most reliable structure in terms of avoiding major diagnostic errors

IVC plethoric and unresponsive to respiration; hepatic veins dilated
Left and right ventricular size decreased; heart tubular in shape
Mild biatrial enlargement
"halo sign" - separation of the entire pericardium by a small fixed space
If the myocardium appears to pull the pericardium without altering the small echo-free separation of these layers, adhesion is suspected in the area examined
best places to look for abnormal motion of the myocardium relative to the pericardium is anterior to the right ventricular outflow tract or at the lateral apex in the four chamber view
In hospital mortality vary between 0% and 10%
predictors of poor outcome:
underlying malignancy
previous paracardial surgery
NYHA class IV symptoms
myocardial atrophy
myocardial inflammation and scarring
coexistence of constrictive pericarditis and tamponading fluid
Risulta dall'infiltrazione patologica del miocardio da vari processi
Malattie da accumulo di glicogeno, emocromatosi, sindrome ipereosinofila
Risulta in un anomalo riempimento ventricolare diastolico e disfunzione sistolica di vario grado
Differentiation from constrictive pericarditis may be difficult because of similar clinical and hemodynamic presentations
Clues from history, physical exam, ECG, echo, CT and MR scan
amyloidosis is most likely to simulate constrictive pericarditis
Digoxin should be avoided in patients with cardiac amyloidosis because of enhanced susceptibility to digoxin toxicity
No therapy is known to be effective in reversing the progression of cardiac amyloidosis
Echocardiography may reveal thickening of the myocardium and varying degrees of systolic ventricular dysfunction.
Doppler echocardiographic analysis may demonstrate evidence of abnormal diastolic filling patterns and elevated venous pressure
The ECG may show conduction system disease or low voltage, in contrast to the increased voltage seen with ventricular hypertrophy
Absence of pericardial adhesion and thickening
Left ventricular mass that is normal or increased; myocardial reflectance increased
Moderate to severe biatrial enlargement
Frequent AV valve regurgitation
Signs of pulmonary hypertension
AV valve excursion on M-mode unaffected by respiration
RV endomyocardial biopsy may be diagnostic and should be considered in patients in whom a diagnosis is not established
However, need for biopsy has been reduced with progress in noninvasive modalities: echocardiography, Doppler, MRI

A 56-year-old man presented with tingling ulcers on the feet. On further skin examination, papules on the knees were observed. Biopsies revealed extravascular eosinophilic deposits of IgM, and Waldenström macroglobulinaemia was diagnosed. The skin manifestations have resolved with chemotherapy. Peripheral neuropathy and storage papules are rare manifestations of Waldenström's macroglobulinaemia.
Case presentation
A 56-year-old man presented with a 12-month history of tingling ulcers on both feet (Figure 1A). He was otherwise well. On examination there were ulcers on both feet, 1-1.5 cm in diameter with a macerated edge. Skin-colored to red-brown papules were noted on both knees (Figure 1B) as well as irregular red circles on both calves. Skin biopsies taken from knee papules and red circles on the lower leg showed extravascular eosinophilic deposits in the dermis (Figure 1C), which stained positive with PAS, IgM (Figure 1D) and kappa stains, but negative with Congo red. Investigations are summarised here: Serum kappa free chains, 85.9 mg/l (normal 3.3-19.4 mg/l); serum lambda free chains, 17 mg/l (normal 7.7-26.3 mg/l); serum free kappa chains /free-lambda chains ratio, 5.05 (normal 0.26-1.65); serum electrophoresis, elevated Ig M gradient; serum immunofixation monoclonal Ig M/kappa-type immunoglobulin; urine immunofixation, monoclonal kappa-free chain; bone marrow microscopy, infiltrate of lymphoplasmocytic cells (15%) (most CD20 and CD138 positive) with preferential expression for IgM.
Figure 1. (A) The patient presented with tingling ulcers on the feet. (B) On further examination, papules were noted on the knees. (C) Biopsy from a knee papule showed homogeneous extravascular eosinophilic hyaline deposits throughout the papillary and reticular dermis (H&E 40x). (D) IgM stain demonstrates the extravascular IgM deposits in the dermis (40x). [Copyright: ©2013 Fischer et al.]
The cutaneous manifestations of Waldenström macroglobulinaemia have been classified as either infiltration by neoplastic cells or those related to the paraproteinaemia, such as immunoglobulin deposition, cryoglobulinaemia or blood hyperviscosity. A number of other nonspecific cutaneous presentations have been reported. Approximately 5% of patients with Waldenström macroglobulinaemia develop cutaneous manifestations, with neoplastic infiltration being the least common. Skin signs may either precede or follow the diagnosis. Prognosis does not appear to be influenced by the presence or absence of cutaneous disease [1].
Neoplastic cell infiltrates present as red or purple patches and plaques. In one case the patient presented with a burning red face which was initially diagnosed as rosacea but with time the more typical purple infiltration developed [2].
Peripheral neuropathy is a well recognised presentation of dysproteinaemias, particularly IgM [3]. In Waldenström macroglobulinaemia the neuropathy is typically sensorimotor, initially with paraesthesias and numbness in the feet and hands. Motor symptoms, such as weakness or foot drop, develop later. The possible mechanisms in Waldenström macroglobulinaemia include microangiopathy, direct infiltration of nerves, endoneural deposition of IgM protein or amyloidosis, hyperviscosity or immunoglobulin deposit in blood vessels. The tingling ulcers in our patient are probably an example of this and, although biopsies were not taken from the ulcers, may have been due to IgM deposition given he also had macroglobulinaemia cutis.
There has been only one other case reported, to our knowledge, of ulcers on the sides of the feet [4].These developed in areas of hyperkeratosis and were associated with dysaesthesia and a burning sensation. However, the biopsy showed a leukocytoclastic vasculitis with a neutrophilic infiltrate. Storage papules were present on the knees and perianal skin. Another report described IgM dermal deposits that presented as painful hyperkeratotic papules on the soles of the feet that were not ulcerated [5].
On further examination, our patient had the papules of macroglobulinosis. Storage papules, also known as macroglobulinaemia cutis, are rare but well described and are usually found on the knees or other extensor surfaces. They are usually skin-coloured, red-brown or translucent, and may be umbilicated, crusted or heamorrhagic. Biopsy shows dermal eosinophilic hyaline material, which is IgM.
Our patient was treated with six cycles of bendamustine infusions. After five cycles the lower limb ulceration and neurological symptoms had resolved, although the blood IgM level did not change.
Waldenström macroglobulinaemia is a low-grade lymphoplasmacytoid lymphoma that usually presents with nonspecific systemic symptoms, but cutaneous changes may be the initial manifestation and hence may present first to a dermatologist. Although our patient presented with tingling ulcers, the diagnosis was reached after skin biopsy from knee papules demonstrated dermal immunoglobulin deposition.

So lazy Sunday continues. I made a quick chicken curry, with a bit of the chicken from lunch and some red onion and a yellow bell pepper I added some fire roasted tomatoes, curry and tonight I didn't even make the sauce. This is Tika masala sauce (Hyvee brand.. Very fancy) I cut up some baby reds and seasoned them with all purpose seasoning and extra light olive oil for about 40 minutes at 350
And meanwhile Jax is keeping busy..

Hi there. I'm just a guy who once tried to convince a good friend to switch from playing World of Warcraft to EVE Online. Our schedules didn't allow us to fly together much, so I ended up writing him a series of relatively extensive e-mails giving advice and pointers for making the most of New Eden as a new pilot. I focused mainly on those aspects of gameplay that are addressed insufficiently or not at all in the tutorials. I've since realized that some of these little essays might be of use to other players as well.
Disclaimer: EVE Online is a constantly evolving game. These missives date back to the summer of 2009. I've done what I can to make sure that they are still relevant to the game as it stands today, but make no promises. Also, I don't make any claim to being an expert, or even a particularly competent player. Just someone who loves the game and wants to help others love it as well.

There are two things to consider when renting a Campervan in America:
Damage to the Wild Campervan.
Damage to a third party.
1) Damage to the Escape Campervan
Basic Campervan Insurance is included in the cost of the rental.
For clients peace of mind, we do offer:
Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) This costs only $10/Day and reduces Camper liability (or excess) to $0
CDW includes:
- Cover for accidental damages
- Windscreen (1 windscreen covered per rental)
- Protection against theft and vandalism
-Tire damage (2 tires covered per rental)
All customers are liable for ALL damage to the vehicle, including theft, if customers do NOT elect the CDW insurance ($10/day).
2) Damage to a third Party
Basic Statutory limits for liability and property damage is included in Escape Campervans daily rate.
The liability levels change between the various States.
For more information please visit this link: http://www.escapecampervans.com/state-statutory-limits/
Supplementary Liability Insurance (SLI) If your clients own travel insurance does not include liability cover to
US$1,000,000, we can offer this to them for an additional $12.25/day. This is to protect your clients against 3rd
party claims if they injure a person or damage someone else's property.
The laws of all states express the requirements in terms of split limits.
For example, if the chart shows "25/50/10", the law requires that the policy provide at least $25,000 for bodily injury to each person, $50,000 for all bodily injury, and $10,000 for property damage, each accident.
The insurance laws of some states also state the requirement in terms of a combined single limit. For example, if the chart shows "15/30/10 or 40", the law provides that a policy with a combined single limit of at least $40,000 will also satisfy the requirement. A combined single limit of $40,000 means that the insurance will pay up to $40,000 for all bodily injury and property damage arising out of each accident. The required limits for the Canadian provinces are expressed as combined single limits only. STATE LIMITS
If your own travel insurance does not include liability cover to US$1,000,000, the supplier can offer this for an additional $12.25/day. This is to protect your clients against 3rd party claims if they injure a person or damage someone else property.
SLI is excess automobile insurance that protects you and any authorized driver, as defined in the rental agreement, against third party automobile claims for bodily injury and property damage caused during permitted use of the rental vehicle.
SLI provides you with the following benefits:
* SLI provides you with a high limit of liability protection up to one million dollars ($1,000,000).
* When you accept SLI, the plan will provide you with excess coverage for the difference between that provided in your rental agreement, if any, and up to one million dollars ($1,000,000).
SLI does not provide coverage:
* If you violate the terms and conditions or use restrictions of the rental agreement.
* For bodily injury or property damage sustained by you and/or relatives, as defined, residing with you or by any authorized driver and/or relatives, as defined, residing with them
* For uninsured motorist, underinsured motorist, first party benefits, no-fault or other liability insurance that is optional or can be waived or rejected. When accepting SLI, you agree to waive or reject, to the extent allowed by law, any such insurance.
* SLI does not provide coverage for minimum financial responsibility limits if not provided for in your rental agreement.
Customer Insurance Options summarised
(Insurance and Mileage options can be decided at the time of pick up or pre booked)
U.S. and CANADIAN Residents:
If you are a U.S. or Canadian resident with a valid driver's license from either country and have automobile insurance that provides full coverage for rental vehicles (including minivans), you may have coverage for our Campervans. You should check with their insurance company prior to pickup of rental vehicle. You will need to decline our CDW and SLI options and you will be responsible for making a claim through their insurance company. You should supply us with your insurance information at the time of Campervan collection. All USA or Canadian residents MUST also bring proof of address. A recent utility bill will suffice. If proof of address is not shown, the supplier will complete a credit check before departure.
Regardless of which Insurance option is selected, you will need to provide a valid Credit or Debit Card to allow the supplier to Imprint before your depart. This is an imprint only. Funds are not collected or frozen and the purpose of the imprint is in the situation where damage occurs and the terms of the Rental Contract have been breached.
YOU and WE agree to Amend the Agreement entered into between YOU and US, on the same date as identified on the Rental Agreement as follows:
A. We will indemnify, hold harmless, and defend You and any Authorized Operators from and against liability to third parties, which by definition excludes any of your or any authorized operators family members related by blood, marriage or adoption residing with you or them, for the difference between the liability protection limits provided in Paragraph "B" below and:
2) THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE "UNINSURED MOTORIST", "UNDERINSURED MOTORIST", "SUPPLEMENTARY NO FAULT", OR ANY OTHER OPTIONAL COVERAGE TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW; WE AND YOU HEREBY REJECT THE INCLUSION OF ANY SUCH COVERAGE. In the event that such coverage is imposed by law, the limits of such coverage will be the minimum required by law of the jurisdiction in which the accident occurs.
B. IF AN ACCIDENT RESULTS FROM THE USE OF THE RENTAL VEHICLE, YOUR INSURANCE OR THE INSURANCE OF THE OPERATOR OF THE RENTAL VEHICLE WILL BE PRIMARY. This means that we will not grant any defense or indemnity protection under this paragraph if either you or the operator of the Rental Vehicle are covered by any other valid and collectible automobile liability insurance, either primary, excess or contingent, with the limits at least equal to the minimum required by the state financial responsibility law where the accident occurs. Further, you warrant that such insurance coverage is effective as of the date of Rental Agreement or Addendum.
C. We warrant that the protection described in Paragraph "A" above is primary with respect to any insurance coverage you or any Authorized Operator may have other than as agreed to by parties in Paragraph "B" above. THIS PROTECTION IS VOID IN MEXICO. THE RENTAL VEHICLE MAY NOT BE DRIVEN INTO MEXICO WITHOUT FIRST OBTAINING SPECIFIC WRITTEN PERMISSION FROM US AND OBTAINING INSURANCE VALID IN MEXICO, WHICH IS AVAILABLE AT THE BORDER.
D. You and all Authorized Operators will indemnify and hold us, our agents and employees harmless from and against any loss, Liability and expense, in excess of the limits or beyond the scope of the protection provided for above, arising from the use or possession of the Rental Vehicle by You or by any Authorized Operator or other person with your, his or her permission.
E. Coverage is void and not effective if you violate the terms and or conditions of the Rental Agreement or if Rental Vehicle was obtained through a Rental Agreement based on Fraudulent information.
F. Renter accepts or declines Coverage at rate included in this web site and in the material provided to you. Acceptance is proof of Coverage under Policy issued to Lessor as outlined in this brochure. The SLI insurance program is offered by an independent insurance company. The insurance premium administration and/or service fee, if any, are included in the daily renal rate as stated in your these forms. The terms and conditions of SLI Coverage are outlined on this web site.
The renter is fully liable for any damage to the Wild Campers campervan or third party property if:
The hirer must maintain the water, oil and tire pressures during their journey.
Hirers will be fully accountable for, but not limited to the following:
Engine overheating, running out of oil, incorrect fuel put into vehicle, getting the vehicle stuck.
Liability is total damage and expenses despite the liability amount listed on the rental agreement. (CDW relates to accident damage only) Mechanical Repairs and Accidents
Contact the supplier on their 24 hour free phone number if you have any problems or any irregularities develop with the camper. Failure to notify the supplier immediately of any performance irregularities, or damage, could affect grounds for compensation.

Information disclosure
In booking on this website you acknowledge that we disclose your information to your selected Supplier in order to provide the requested rental services.

If the rental period is increased, an additional deposit may be required. If the rental period is shortened which results in a reduction of the rental charges, the deposit amount will remain unchanged, and the difference between the original and revised deposit is forfeited (it cannot be used towards remaining rental charges).

How To Lose Weight Gained Due to Adrenal Fatigue
If you have ever been under stress, you probably know that it has a negative effect on your body. But just how it affects your health is a matter of debate. Alternative health practitioners believe that chronic stress taxes the adrenal glands, creating a condition called adrenal fatigue or insufficiency. Symptoms attributed to adrenal insufficiency include unexplained weight changes, fatigue, hair loss, body aches and dizziness. Dr. Todd Nippoldt of MayoClinic.com, however, disputes the validity of an adrenal fatigue diagnosis. Efforts to lose weight, such as diet and exercise, may nonetheless improve adrenal symptoms. Ask your personal doctor for his opinion.
Video of the Day
Step 1
Consult an alternative health practitioner about recommended supplements for adrenal fatigue. The supplements sometimes used for adrenal fatigue include DHEA -- a hormone whose long-term effects haven't been studied yet -- licorice root, calcium and magnesium. Your doctor may suggest antioxidant vitamins, such as vitamin C and E. A B-complex vitamin may increase your energy levels. Talk to your doctor about the possible side effects of DHEA.
Step 2
Eat a healthy, balanced diet. Although nutritious foods are important for everyone, they are especially crucial if you have adrenal fatigue. Eat plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and low-fat dairy products. According to Dr. Michael Lam, adrenal fatigue is often associated with hypoglycemia, which may be managed by consuming less sugar and refined carbohydrates and more protein and vegetables. Healthier food choices also promote weight loss.
Step 3
Reduce your total intake of calories. Theoretically, cutting 500 calories from your diet each day will lead to a 1 lb. weight loss each week. Make small changes to cut calories, such as reducing portion size, eliminating dessert and drinking water instead of high calorie beverages. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, drinking more water can lead to weight loss by decreasing sensations of hunger.
Step 4
Exercise at least five days a week for 30-minute intervals. Resistance training such as weight lifting will build muscle, which helps your body burn more fat. Along with aerobic and strengthening exercises, incorporate relaxation techniques from yoga or tai chi into your routine.

Hide was keen to show me the whole of the stretch we were going to fish before fishing it, which to be honest I found difficult. There were just so many positive switched on fish feeding in the gin clear water I hated passing them by. I think Hide's trout stream background maybe still has a grip as he seems to favour and upstream approach - so he didn't mind walking down past the fish to come back up at them. I think with time I can turn him. I almost never want to present up stream to a carp as it just makes it far too easy to line them. I mush prefer to cast down and across to almost square to a fish and let my fly drift into the feeding zone ahead of my line. Make the fly the only thing the fish sees, that way you might get a second shot.
Anyway we started fishing in some water that was pretty deep and fast making it hard to get a good presentation, so I moved a bit further down stream and managed to get a take in the margins on a hybrid, but the fish came unstuck after a couple of runs. after that we started moving up river. There are some sections with big rocks and slabs have been set into the river bed creating a lot of pockets in the rough water, there were a load of good fish showing whipping in and out of the fast water and grabbing stuff that was being swept along. The only thing I had that would give me a chance of getting deep enough was a small Fish Skull sculpin, It almost did the job for a couple of fish that chased it but weren't willing to commit.
After this section things started to get good the river slowed and widened a bit and it was easy enough to walk up and around fish so I could make a good presentation that I was confident in. While I was moving upstream Hide managed the first fish of the day on a tan backstabber, it was also the biggest of the day, of probably around 12-15lb (sorry no picture, I'll add it when I get one off him). I then dropped my sculpin in front of a fish that was feeding behind a tree, the fish was clearly a player because it moved to the fly only to reject it at the last second. A quick change to a brown mottlebou backstabber saw me get off the mark after the same fish that knocked back the sculpin inhaled my second offering
Hide took this from the tree the fish was hiding under
as soon As I released my first fish I spotted a lovely ornamental Koi in a small eddy on the far bank. It was a pretty easy cast to drop the fly in her face and she liked it. This is the best fish of the year for me so far, far from the biggest but I just love the clourful ones.
After that we continued picking up a few fish before Hide left to get lunch and I stayed on the water, I took another 5 averaging about 8-9lbs while he was away, but only one was particularly memorable.
there was a fish feeding horizontally against a concrete wall on the far bank quite near the surface, The carp was actually swimming on its side with it's back pointing at me. By this time I had changed flies to a Whitlock's near'nuff crayfish to cope with the deeper water-so not ideal for a fish that was sitting shallow. luckily the top of the wall was covered with enough water that I could drop the fly on it without worrying about it bouncing, a quick almost square lob with an upstream mend to slow the swing and let the crayfish imitation appear to creep off the ledge and dive for the bottom. The carp loved it and charged the fly hitting so hard it hooked itself . You can see the wall on my side in the picture.

Saying that we eloped also feels right because it gets across exactly how quickly the while thing came together. We got engaged in the middle of May, and were married 2 1/2 months later in Ontario. In that time, we had to plan the wedding long distance, go to marriage prep and take care of all the paperwork, and keep the whole thing a secret. We wanted something small, and we knew our families. Loving and well-meaning, the entire thing could have exploded into a weddingstravaganza. So we went through 2 months of covert planning, showed up in Ontario, then called everyone to say we were getting married, and if they wanted to come, they'd better show up at this place and time in a week.
So, in spirit if not in fact, Ed and I eloped two years ago. To celebrate, I made us blinchiki for breakfast, then went to work for 6 hellish hours. I came home and promptly made myself a lethal bourbon and coke with lime to take some of the pain away. Buzzing, we showed up at the restaurant an hour and a half early because we were hungry and it's, like, right there up the hill. They were very nice and sat us anyway. We had prosecco, because every celebration needs some bubbles. The meal was very good, and dessert was very good, and the 30-year Portugese port was excellent.
We got home and our apartment was the temperature of a furnace. Both cats were spread-eagled n the linoleum in the kitchen, complaining. The combination of the heat, of of red meat in my belly, the motherfucking period that will never end, and the fact that I'd made myself good and drunk by then, conspired to make me fall completely asleep almost instantly. At 8:30pm. When we were supposed to go see Die Hard: Dying the Hardest. I woke up at 11:30pm and Ed was reading Harry Potter on the couch, and I felt like a shit. So we snuggled and checked our email on the borrowed laptop, and went to bed a little after midnight. In other words, or anniversary celebrations were rather low-key.
Despite the quiet and my narcolepsy, I have a lot to celebrate. Ed is my favourite person in the world. And, miraculously, he is still at my side. The first year of our marriage was very dark time for me. During that year, I made myself ill trying to finish my coursework, teach classes, run a magazine, apply for my PhD, and finish my thesis in the same year. It was impossible, but I drove myself crazy trying. I was inconsolably upset a lot of the time when I was around Ed. I could hold my shit together in public, but once it was just the two of us I would implode. I couldn't always articulate the real reason that I was upset, that the idea of not finishing my thesis on time and all the rest was killing me and was psychologically tormenting me on a minute by minute basis, keeping me form falling asleep at night. Often, I was just upset, and I couldn't tell him why, and he'd get frustrated, which would make me more upset. Deeply buried neuroses made their appearances. On one memorable occasion, crockery was thrown.
The first year of our marriage was difficult. It's hard, even painful to admit, but I have made my peace with it. We did not have a honeymoon year; we had a challenge.
The second year, I am thrilled to report, has been unbelievably, inexpressibly better. Last September, when I finally had to turn down PhD offers and associated funding, I realized I could either have a breakdown or slow the fuck down, take my time, and just finish the thing when I finished. I developed a work schedule that was sane. Ed left the job that was making him miserable, and really blossomed in a more positive environment. We picked apart some of our insecurities. We learned to spend time apart. Ed and I often have to travel separately because of different commitments and vast differences in vacation time, and we learned to do this. We learned to be supportive of each other and still remain independent. This year, we've grown into two people who are actually better for each other than we were when we met.
Standing at the beginning of our third year as a married couple, it's already shaping up to be a doozy. My book is coming out, and I'll be going on the Great Canadian Literary Disaster of 2007 that will be the tour. I'll be reapplying to the PhD program. I am the Managing Editor of filling Station now, which is going to be crazy. Ed had some potential, and significant, career changes coming up. There's going to be a lot of travelling and working and general craziness. To cap off our third year, we'll finally be going on the honeymoon that has so far been out of reach. By then, by some miracle, we may even be better for each other than we are now. I can't imagine it yet, but if anyone can do it, we can.
