I am a local born and raised Chilliwack dairy farm girl who is accustomed to early mornings, long days, and a lot of hard work. I love challenges and do not shy away from one when it is presented. I studied economics and urban planning at UBC and worked in customer service and sales for over 10 years before starting my career in real estate in 2012. I have a very diverse set of skills and a true passion for the industry, which is why, since 2015, I have consistently been the top selling agent in Chilliwack. I really listen to my clients and learn their goals, I fight hard for them and make sure they stay on track looking at the bigger picture while achieving those goals. By keeping my clients interests FIRST, I have been blessed by ample referrals and it is those return customers and referrals I accredit to helping me be in the top spot all these years! I was also chosen as Chilliwack's favorite realtor by the Chilliwack Progress A-list contest for a third year in a row as well, which means so much to me- thank you everyone!
Nationally, through Century 21 Canada, I ranked #1 IN CANADA for SALES VOLUME in 2018 and was awarded with the coveted Double Grand Centurion Award. In addition, I was humbled with a National award of being named TOP 200 IN CANADA through the Real Estate Professional ("REP") organization of over 100,000+ agents. It was amazing to be voted by my superiors and peers for excellent customer service and cutting edge sales techniques.
I love my family very much and have a respect for each and every one of them- especially my sister Angela who has taught me many invaluable lessons about life and being a great role model to my children. I feel blessed having such a supportive network of friends and family who understand my work-a-holic-ism and who share the same positive outlooks on life. Being born and raised in the area gives me an edge over people who aren't as familiar with Chilliwack's many neighborhoods, and I love to share my knowledge of the area with people I meet. My husband Sean and I feel very fortunate to be raising our two children, Brooklyn and Anna, in such a dynamic and beautiful city. If you have ANY questions about real estate in the Chilliwack area and want honest answers- I am the realtor to call!

Latest AONB News
ACHIEVING tangible benefits from dark night skies will be the message delivered at the latest planning seminar organised by Cranborne Chase Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). A quintet of inspirational and distinguished speakers will reveal why dark night skies are vital for human and animal wellbeing, how a darker environment can lead to boundless benefits, and how you can help the AONB to achieve prestigious International Dark Sky Reserve status for the benefit of all.
Speakers include Professor Martin Morgan-Taylor, Associate Professor Leicester De Montfort Law School and Vice President International Dark Sky Association 2011-2013; Duncan Wise, Visitor Development & Marketing Manager Northumberland National Park Authority; Malcolm Mackness, former Director of Lighting Consultancy & Design Services Ltd; Bob Mizon, UK Coordinator, British Astronomical Association Campaign for Dark Skies, and Sean Beer, Senior Academic in the Faculty of Management, Department of Tourism and Hospitality.
The event, held on Tuesday 20 March at Dinton Village Hall, is being aimed at policy and development management planners, landscape architects, tourism and biodiversity officers, lighting engineers and community health officers in public service and commercial consultancy, together with developers and their agents, health practitioners, and community members and local and parish councillors.
The speakers and the speeches
Prof Martin Morgan-Taylor/Speech: Why are dark night skies important?
Martin Morgan-Taylor, Associate Professor Leicester De Montfort Law School and Vice President International Dark Sky Association 2011-2013, researches the legal impact of light pollution, namely the wasted carbon emissions and wasted money from wasted light, harm to human and animal health, as well as the loss of the night sky and the creation of dark sky places. He also acts as a consultant to Defra. He has received several awards for his dark sky work, including the Joy Griffiths Award (2007) and the Galileo Award (2011) for legal efforts to protect the night sky from light pollution.
Duncan Wise/Speech: Making it all happen
Duncan Wise is Visitor Development & Marketing Manager for Northumberland National Park Authority, responsible for destination marketing, visitor information, transport and travel and developing visitor experiences that are based on the Park's special qualities. These include nature-based and heritage-tourism, cycling and walking and, more recently, dark skies. Duncan was the Authority's lead officer on the joint collaboration with Kielder Water & Forest Park, securing the designation of International Dark Sky Park (Gold Tier) for both the National Park and most of Kielder Water & Forest Park in 2013. Since then he has worked with and supported local tourism businesses to make them more aware of the opportunities of developing astro-tourism experiences, and of promoting the installation of fully-shielded and appropriate outside lighting to minimise light pollution. Duncan is also a member of the International Dark Sky Association's Dark Sky Places Committee.
Malcolm Mackness/Speech: Lightscape management Plans — what are they and how to make them work
Malcolm Mackness spent most of his early professional life in the public lighting departments of Leicester City, Leicestershire and Wiltshire. For 20 years he was county lighting engineer in Gloucestershire. He was always an advocate of good lighting design and for many years was involved with presenting lighting training for the Institution of Lighting Professionals (ILP). In 1998 he moved to the private sector, joining Jim Paterson as a partner at Lighting Consultancy & Design Services in Coventry. Malcolm subsequently worked with Jim on the first UK Dark Sky project in Galloway Forest and following that on many more Dark Sky projects in England, Scotland and Wales. Although now semi-retired, Malcolm, who has a BA(Hons) from the OU and is an Associate of the ILP and an Incorporated Engineer, is continuing to assist with the Cranborne Chase proposal.
Bob Mizon/Speech: The benefits of DNSs to wildlife, human health, carbon savings and tourism
Bob Mizon is a co-ordinator of the British astronomical Association's Commission for Dark Skies, which aims to turn back the tide of light pollution that has seriously affected night skies for more than 50 years. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society in 1985, and has been associated with the Wessex Astronomical Society in various offices for many years. In 2010 Bob, a former French teacher, was awarded the MBE for his work in astronomy and environmental education. He is a STEM* Ambassador, seeking opportunities to bring astronomy to adult and young people's groups in the south. More than 136,000 people have experienced a tour of the universe via Bob's mobile planetarium, which he takes into schools.

In 2016-17, updates to the AP Calculus AB course and exam take effect. For more information about the changes, visit AP Central.
About the updated AP Calculus AB course and exam (2016-17 and beyond)
AP Calculus AB is a course in single-variable calculus that includes techniques and applications of the derivative, techniques and applications of the definite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus. According to surveys of comparable curricula at four-year colleges and universities, it is equivalent to a semester of calculus at most colleges and universities. Algebraic, numerical and graphical representations are emphasized throughout the course. AP Calculus BC is an extension of AP Calculus AB rather than an enhancement; common topics require a similar depth of understanding.
At the conclusion of both courses, students should have the ability to:
- Work with functions represented in a variety of ways — graphical, numerical, analytical, and verbal — and understand the connections among these representations.
- Understand the meaning of the derivative in terms of a rate of change and local linear approximation and use derivatives to solve a variety of problems.
- Understand the meaning of the definite integral both as a limit of Riemann sums and as the net accumulation of change and use integrals to solve a variety of problems.
- Understand the relationship between the derivative and the definite integral as expressed in both parts of the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus.
- Communicate mathematics and explain solutions to problems both verbally and in written sentences.
- Use technology to help solve problems, experiment, interpret results and support conclusions.
- Determine the reasonableness of solutions, including sign, size, relative accuracy and units of measurement.
- Appreciate calculus as a coherent body of knowledge and as a human accomplishment.
Topics covered on the exam include:
Functions, Graphs and Limits
- Analysis of graphs
- Limits of functions (including one-sided limits)
- Asymptotic and unbounded behavior
- Continuity as a property of functions
- Concept of the derivative
- Derivative at a point
- Derivative as a function
- Second derivatives
- Applications of derivatives
- Computation of derivatives
- Interpretations and properties of definite integrals
- Applications of integrals
- Fundamental Theorem of Calculus
- Techniques of antidifferentiation
- Applications of antidifferentiation
- Numerical approximations to definite integrals

Food cart frenzy
Growing a business sector 56 square feet at a time.
(page 2 of 3)
Competing for space
Currently, the city has an orderly though sometimes criticized process for determining which carts end up where as food cart owners vie for space and customers.
Each September and October, regardless of a cart's longevity, every cart is reviewed in a mandatory-juried process. A team of judges representing diverse industries — from culinary professionals to office workers — review and score each cart. "They don't get paid," Blake-Horst notes, "but they must agree to try food from all of the carts over a two-week period."
Anyone can apply to be a judge, she says, and that, perhaps, is one issue some owners have with the process.
Judges score each cart individually, based on the food served, the cart or tent, the originality of menu items or presentation, and seniority. Points are docked from a total if a cart had a known health or vending violation the previous year. Carts scoring the highest are assigned to the more lucrative Mall/Concourse area. Those not making the list can vend elsewhere. [Food safety and handling regulations are approved separately by the City-County Department of Health.]
The subjective nature of the judging and points system has been criticized by a few. Some cart operators have been confused as to how the points system works, while others have expressed disappointment at the scores they received and hinted that the process gets political. "I was aware of those issues when I walked into this job," Blake-Horst admits, deciding it was time to revisit the process.
The city's food cart community includes some that have been operating since 1977, and some that are in their first year. "The challenge is in trying to be mindful of all of their needs," Blake-Horst states. "This will always be subjective, but how do we level that out and remove any political aspect? This is their livelihood."
Two focus groups were just completed and attended by a mix of vendors, judges, city staff, cart owners, and others. "We're trying to get a handle on what the challenges have been," she explains, "and we're also using an equity tool to look at the issue from a racial and social justice perspective, but this will be a multiyear process."
Blake-Horst says several changes are being considered. The city could provide training for food cart reviewers, increase education to cart owners on how the review process is done, allow new carts to vend to the general public during the review day (currently they can only serve to judges that day), allow the reviewer to provide feedback on the process, and create a more equitable way to incorporate seniority points into the process.
All of these proposals have to be brought back to the Vending Oversight Committee for review and changes.
Métropolitain flair
Nate Overland and his wife Markelys have just completed their first month in the food cart business. Their cart, Métropolitain Handcrafted Street Food, has a vending license to operate around town but not on the Mall/Concourse. "We had some issues with our cart last fall so we couldn't get into the competition for the downtown space," Overland states. As a result, their cart travels around town, from the Hilldale area to UW Hospital, UW Research Park, to DXC Technology (fka Hewlett Packard). On Wednesday nights, it makes a regular appearance at the Capital View farmers market.
Nate Overland, in his Métropolitain Handcrafted Street Food cart, is banking on his new career choice. Photo courtesy of Métropolitain Handcrafted Street Food.
Métropolitain serves a French/Asian fusion menu. "It's food that we want to eat," Overland says. "It would be nice if we could be on the Square every morning, but this way, we're putting our food in front of different people every day."
Overland is a Madison native whose culinary talent led to jobs on Washington Island, Devil's Head Resort, and on to Palm Beach, Fla., where he worked at the high-end Everglades Club. "They provided employee housing to the chefs, but we were not allowed to have children on the property." With housing options unaffordable there, the couple decided to return to Madison to raise their young son.
"I came to a place in my life where, although my career was on track, I was enjoying the corporate aspect of hospitality less and less and really wanted to cook food that I enjoyed rather than spending time on reports and emails, or placing orders." Hoping to simplify, the couples chose the food cart route and spent about $35,000 on a new cart built by Caged Crow Fabrication in St. Germaine, Wis.
Like many cart owners, the Overlands prepare their food each day at the FEED Kitchen on Madison's north side before heading out to the cart. "The margins are good," he says of the business after just three weeks. "There's no overhead, we're not paying employees. It is weather dependent to an extent, but there are a lot of opportunities to vend. If you work hard you may get a space downtown."
Sandwiches average $8.50 each, but days are long, beginning around 8 a.m. and ending after everything is cleaned up, around 10 p.m. Overland hopes to match his food and beverage salary in year two.
He also plans to enter the competition in the fall, hoping to land one of the Mall/Concourse spots in the next cycle. "What you're really going for is a six-by-10-foot space downtown where you can park your cart without getting arrested," he jokes.
If he had to start again, Overland says he'd do more upfront legwork and talk to other vendors about their experiences. "I'd also look for used equipment. We bought everything new."
Overland also warns others to carefully check for variances between city and county vending rules. "We need a generator every day. The county said the decibel level had to be less than 75, which we met, not knowing that Madison had a decibel level of 60. So we got into trouble with that."

As we near Palm Sunday and Resurrection Sunday, many of us begin to focus more on forgiveness; forgiveness for self and for others. This can oftentimes be a difficult and confusing action to take. Many people think that when we forgive we are saying that what someone did to us is OK. We believe that forgiveness is a way of letting someone off the hook for a wrongful act. However, let us not confuse forgiveness with permission. When Christ said in John 8:11, "Neither do I condemn you. Go and sin no more," He did not give permission for sin, but forgiveness. He was differentiating between forgiveness and permission. You see, forgiveness is not for the person who wronged us, it's for ourselves. When we hold on to resentment, bitterness brews within us. Bitterness is a root that grows in our hearts and can negatively affect other areas of our lives. Bitterness takes us down and steals our joy, which can lead to depression and anxiety. Unforgiveness is like carrying around a backpack filled with rotten potatoes, which weighs us down and prevents us from moving on. Forgiveness does NOT:...excuse the one who hurt you or did you wrong....mean you re-engage in a relationship with the one who hurt you....equal trust. Forgiveness is given. Trust is earned.Forgiveness IS:...saying goodbye to bitterness and resentment....gaining freedom from pain....releasing the beauty of peace and happiness....letting go in order to move on.Forgiveness Is Freedom!Forgiveness is hard, but is it also possible. If you need help forgiving someone, including yourself, I'm here to help. Living with bitterness and shame is not God's plan for you. Working with a professional therapist can help you process the wrong that was done to you, help you discover the strength to forgive, let go of shame and guilt, and recapture your joy. Why should you forgive? Because YOU deserve it!Gretchen is currently accepting new clients and may be contacted by email at firstname.lastname@example.com or by phone at 619-272-6858 x713
"First, remove the beam out of your own eye, and then you can see clearly to remove the speck out of your brother's eye." - Matthew 7:5. Self-awareness can become one of your most powerful tools. Being able to step outside of yourself and see your own junk can be very helpful for leaders and their relationships. Self aware people are largely successful. You can become so self-aware that it becomes neurotic. But this happens in the case where you are judging yourself rather than evaluating what's going on. Here are some ideas to help create more self-awareness as a leader:1. Invite feedback especially from direct reports. You can use a 360 degree feedback mechanism but it can also help just to have conversations about how you're doing.2. Pay special attention to how others feel around you. While you don't want to give them too much power, you also want to make sure that you're being sensitive to them while also being independent of their opinion.3. Ask yourself what you are truly feeling. Get a chart with some feeling words and ask yourself what you're feeling in regards to a situation with your relationships with your associates. 4. Check your assumptions and your entitlement. These two issues can really get you into difficult situations in relationships in the workplace, home or church.5. Check out your ideal self or despised self. These two parts can help us understand a lot about what we're thinking and feeling about ourselves.6. Ask yourself how something happened not just why. Attempt to debrief with yourself and with others exactly how a problem or a success occurred.7. Understand what you might be afraid of. Know what are real threats or just cues that might be triggering you into anxiety.8. Shaming yourself will help your heart to hide. Real guilt, as opposed to shame, can be used to learn lessons and make amends.Be encouraged to take at least one idea here as a first step. Get outside feedback whether that's counseling, coaching, a friend or a mentor and find a small attainable goal.
L. Nicole Goodman takes the audience on a journey; humbling sharing her world with living with mental health and what it looks like on a day-to-day basis. Her family and friends offer insight and perspective. Through her transparency, she redefines the stereotype making her book and short firm truly inspirational pieces.
This book is an educational resource that can be used to understand the identities of Bipolar Disorder, Depression, and Anxiety. Each condition's symptoms are broken down. The material also includes interactive questionnaires, noting sections and offers a guide to understanding different treatment options. The highlight of this book is its ability to not only highlight essential coping skills but its explanation of how-to-apply these skills in day-to-day living."This book is a must-have for churches, community agencies, mental health professionals, and households! What I love about this book is that anyone can read it and walk away having a credible information source to begin the process of exploring mental illness and seeking treatment options. Just like we have to know the symptoms of a stroke or heart attack, we have to know symptoms of mental illness too!"-Beatrice Akins, LCSW, LCDCI

Many things can happen in the life of an equine owner which force the decision to sell, or find a new situation, for even a treasured equine partner. Financial changes, location changes, health issues or even time constraints are just a few issues that can force a horse owner to be scratching their head wondering how best to go about finding the next safe solution for their equine friend. If you, or someone you know, is faced with this situation… there are options.
Do not surrender your horse to a kill pen or send it to public auction. Much too risky. This is the surest route towards the slaughter pipeline. Also do not advertise your horse as free to a good home in the paper and then give it to anyone who shows up without taking time to thoroughly investigate the person who will be receiving the horse. And, to check up on the horse if you do give it away. Many kill buyers use a story of a niece, daughter, or family member they want to surprise with a new horse, and then ship that very same horse to slaughter, very shortly after acquisition.
Surrendering a horse to a reputable progressive rescue organization can be a very good choice for all parties involved. Here at Horses without Humans we have had people surrender their horses for various reasons similar to what is listed above. If the rescue is capable of training and adopting out your horse, here is a list of the good things that can happen because of that. If your horse is spoken for through a program such as Horses without Humans offers, he or she will have a safety net that is rarely, if ever, offered in traditional sales.
Horses without Humans rescue organization will take an adopted horse back if the adoptive family can no longer keep or care for the horse, or, if the horse, proves long term to not be suitable. This scenario eases the worry of what might happen as the donated horse gets older, or maybe has an injury or illness.
The adoption fee generated from a surrendered horse can help other horses at the rescue, by providing funds, for ongoing needs such as feed, hay, medical supplies, farrier, etc. These costs never end and our rescue is no different than many others. We depend on adoption fees to help cover costs of maintaining, training and bringing in more horses who need help.
If you are surrendering a horse you should be very honest in your description. Disclose all medical, behavioral, and training issues. If you can transport the horse to the rescue… do so. If you can donate funds to the rescue so that your horse is not a burden on the feed bill do so as well. Sometimes there will be a waiting period before your horse can be taken in. If you do not need the horses tack, blankets, grooming supplies etc, consider donating these items as well. Your gifts will be tax deductible, including the value of the horse.
We have a very real problem here in the United States. One which all horse owners and lovers should be aware of and then embrace until a viable solution is found. The problem is that of unwanted horses and what happens to them when owners forego their responsibilities. If you love horses, or have benefitted from being part of the equine industry please do what you can for those with no voice of their own.
My name is Yvonne Barteau and I am dedicated to doing what I can to be the change I wish to see in the Equine Industry. One horse at a time…and one after another!

When it comes to ketogenic diet, the difficulty a lot of people face is eating out. This has made a lot of people to continuously search "keto fast food near me." If you have still not heard or read about the ketogenic diet; it is about eating high fat, moderate protein and low carbs. You can find keto diet foods here.
Most people find it difficult to cope with weight loss because they can't simply afford to not eat fast food, which either contains too much fat or carbs. So ketogenic diet is giving you a chance to eat more fat and still lose weight in contrary to the former believe that eating too much fat can make it difficult to lose weight.

From keto fast food breakfast to keto fast food lunch and keto fast food dinner, this list are packed with the best food you need for your ketogenic diet.
What is the best keto fast food breakfast idea?
Most people struggle to get keto fast food for breakfast because most of us don't eat breakfast at home. If you don't eat breakfast at home and are looking for a breakfast meal that is in line with your ketogenic diet, ordering a sandwich without croissant, muffin or biscuit makes sense. This could be something like egg, sausage and cheese biscuit without the biscuit.
What are the best keto fast food lunch and dinner ideas?
Unlike keto breakfast, keto lunch and dinner are a bit vast. Some easy fast food options for lunch are salads with steak or grilled chicken, protein bowls without beans and rice, wrapped in lettuce or burger minus the buns, making a sandwich into lettuce wrap or salad.
h2>Keto fast food near me
Not everyone can access amazing coffee and bacon, but here is the good news:
As long as you know what you want to order, you can eat a keto diet anywhere, fast food places not excluded. This keto fast food guide will guide you on which keto-friendly fast food is available in the restaurants, the number of carbs to order and how to order and eat out confidently.
Although you can still follow your diet plan while at home, this guide is just to help you when you are not at home to cook or when you are far away from home. Remember the kind of food you eat defines you. If you want to remain in ketosis and lose weight without any hassle, this guide is your go-to.
Here is the top keto fast-food near your place:
#1. Low-carb Burrito Bowls
You might be surprised at the inclusion of this fast food because a burrito wrap can actually pack over 50g of carbs and 300 calories. Since keto meal plan is usually low in carbs, it makes sense to skip burrito shells and wraps.
Thankfully, it is easy to build a very delicious burrito bowl without adding carbs. A low-carb like a leafy green and your fat and protein choice is a great way to start. Make sure you avoid high-carb toppings such as beans, tortilla chips, corn or sweet dressing.

Instead, it makes sense to stick with high-fat and low-carb like guacamole, cheese, onions, salsa, sour cream, fresh herbs, sliced avocado and sautéed veggies. To create a keto-friendly burrito bowl, make sure you ditch beans and rice but pile your favorite high-fat and low-carb toppings.
#2. You can order Subway anywhere
Subway is available, just about anywhere. Although it is a sub shop, you can turn any of their sandwiches into a salad and slash the carbs.
What should you order?
Choose a sub-option, make it a salad, add cheese, choose low-carb vegetables and add a low-carb dressing. Just remember that some sub-options have higher carb than others. You can choose from the following lowest carb options with cheese, green peppers, spinach, lettuce, black olives and pickles.
The low-carb Subway to choose from include tuna salad, subway club, roast beef, oven roasted chicken and cold cut combo.
#3. Bunless burgers
Typically, burger meals bought from fast food restaurants are very high in carbs because of their buns. For a keto-approved burger meal, it makes sense to skip both bun and high-carb toppings.
Popular high-carb toppings you need to skip include ketchup, breaded onions, teriyaki sauce and honey mustard sauce. You can swap the high-carb toppings with avocado, lettuce, mustard, onion, tomato, ranch dressing, fried egg, mayo or salsa to reduce carbs and add more fat to your meal.
#4. McDonald's
McDonald's is a nice fast food with a low-carb diet. If you want to order ketogenic breakfast from McDonald's, you can order their egg McMuffin, Sausage biscuit or sausage McMuffin and add black coffee for a morning caffeine boost.
For lunch and dinner, you can order grilled chicken sand which or burger without the bun. McDouble, grilled chicken sandwich or double cheeseburger is perfect. Make sure you stay away from a high-carb burrito, hot cakes, oatmeal and hashbrowns. Also, put off chicken nuggets because its breading can cause the carb count to rise. Avoid fries also.
#5. Egg-based breakfast
Buying a keto fast food doesn't have to be hard. Most fast food restaurants serve eggs, which are good for anyone following keto meal plan. Aside from the fact that they are high in protein and fat, they are extremely low in carbs.
Fortunately, one egg contains less than 1g of carbs. Although several egg dishes are served with hash browns or bread, you can easily make your order keto-friendly. You can even order plain eggs with a side of cheese and sausage – it is safe for any keto dieter.
If you can't visit a deli, an omelet with greens and cheese also makes sense.
#6. Chipotle
Most people love Chipotle because of the fresh food and focus on sustainability. If you are among those that love Chipotle, you will be glad to know you can easily eat keto fast food at Chipotle.
What should you order at Chipotle?
Go for a salad bowl. You might be thinking why? You can enjoy a hearty salad that will satisfy your palate. You can start with Romaine lettuce plus the meats like chicken, barbacoa, carnitas or steak. You can also add low-carb like tomato salsa, queso, cheese, sour cream, tomatillo-red chili salsa, guacamole, romaine lettuce or tomatillo-green chili salsa.
#7. Bunless chicken sandwich
If you want to order keto fast food near you for lunch or dinner, it makes sense to keep it simple. To stay in ketosis, you can order a chicken sandwich without the bun and add high-fat toppings. This is available in most of the fast-food restaurants, you just need to ask.
You can order McDonald's Pico Guacamole Sandwich without the bun or Burger King Grilled Chicken Sandwich with extra mayo without the bun. Remember to avoid items marinated in sweet sauces such as maple syrup or honey.
#8. Arby's
Arby's is popular for its roast beef, but you can actually order a variety of meat. Most of their sandwiches are great without the bun and you can choose from their roast beef sandwich, Reuben, grand turkey club, fire-roasted Philly, roast turkey and swiss sandwich, three-cheese steak sandwich, smokehouse brisket, half pound roast beef sandwich and double roast beef sandwich.
They also have salads like a chopped side salad and roast turkey farmhouse salad, which you can dress with light Italian, buttermilk ranch or balsamic vinaigrette.
#9. Keto-friendly beverages
Most of the beverages we buy at the roadside restaurants are high in sugar. Fortunately, there are great beverages that can fit perfectly into your keto diet meal.
The best among them is water, but you can also go for low-carb beverages like:
- Soda water
- Hot tea with lemon juice
- Coffee with cream
- Unsweetened iced tea
- Black iced coffee.
#10. Wendy's
You can also order a burger at Wendy's but remember to remove buns if you still want to stay in ketosis. You can ask a staff for specific nutritional information if you don't know the nutritional content of each item.
You can order the following without bun:
- Double Stack
- Baconator
- Chicken BLT
- Junior bacon cheeseburger
- Chicken cobb salad
- Small Caesar salad
- Avocado ranch dressing
- Grilled chicken sandwich
#11. Unwiches
It makes sense to eliminate bread from your diet if you are following a keto diet plan. When you are choosing fast food for lunch or dinner, consider an "unwich." Unwiches are types of the sandwich without bread.
You can choose any of the following:
- The J.J. BLT (mayo, bacon, tomato and lettuce).
- The J.J. Gargantuan (roast beef, ham, turkey, salami, provolone and pork).
- Slim 3 (tuna salad).
- The big Italian (onion, lettuce, pork, mayo, vinegar, oil, ham, salami and provolone).
Bottom line
With the above list, finding low-carb, high-fat fast food doesn't have to be difficult, even when you travel or not at home. You can order keto fast food near you whenever you need it. Just enter a restaurant and customize your food to your liking.
As the keto diet continues to rise in popularity, you can enjoy a delicious low-carb diet by ordering from a restaurant without any hassle. Get in the restaurant and customize your menu. With keto diet food plan, you achieve ketosis.

Invisible Bookshelf Decor Ideas
Invisible bookshelf is one fine addition to room storage and organization. Invisible floating bookshelf can boost your room decor with functionality. Do-it-yourself or purchasing the already made invisible book shelving from IKEA, Container Store, Urban Outfitters and Umbra, it is all yours to decide. Make your room unique is possible with bookshelf that invisible. The floating look will make attractive design and decor to the entire room.
Wood or glass, floating wall shelf brackets should be installed firmly and steadily. This is one basic thing when it comes to the ideas in how to build a floating shelf. Books can be stacked or arrange them vertically depending on your personal taste.
Invisible shelves for books can also create a tower look. Starting from larger books to smaller ones, invisible shelf supports are best made of metal especially stainless steel. From living room to bedroom and kid's room or office, creating a display full of books can add the fun into the atmosphere. Just arrange the books based on size, category and color to stand amazing in the room.
Decorating your rooms and storing favorite books at the same time can be very amusing with invisible floating bookshelf. To learn a few ideas, we hope the photos on gallery are useful to you.

Digital Literacy of Russians Is Increasing
29 March 2019
Level of digital literacy among Russians increased by 8 percentage points and reached 60 percentage points (out of 100 p.p.) over the past year. The Russians have become more competent in searching for information and analysis of data, more confident in using of digital devices. More Russians began to use modern means of communication, such as instant messenger applications and social networks.
Russians Self-Assess Their Financial Literacy Level Higher
14 November 2018
Compared to last year, Russians began to rate their level of financial literacy higher. More families began to keep monthly records of expenses and incomes and to compare financial services that different organizations offered.
Every Fourth Russian Has a High Digital Literacy Level
20 June 2018
26% of Russians demonstrated high level base digital skills. Digital literacy index stands at 52 points out of 100. At the same time the Russians are prone to being light-minded in regards to protecting data: only 38% of respondents make backup copies of their data, and 44% of users do not know how to act correctly if they receive an email with malicious software from someone they know.
Russian business is under the pressure of sanctions
17 November 2016
40% of companies are SMEs and, there is a growing negative impact of Western sanctions on businesses. Two-thirds of the organisations on the basis of forecast 2016 profit no higher than last year's level.

Pathology of Staphylococcal Infections
Staphylococcal infections are caused by species of the genus Staphylococcus.
These gram-positive cocci colonize the skin and anterior nasal vestibule of children and adults, and the umbilicus, stool and perineum of neonates.
Three species are pathogenic in humans : Staphylococcus aureus , Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus.
About 20% to 40% of adults are nasal carriers of Staphylococcus aureus, and many become carriers while in the hospital, perhaps because medical personnel are more frequent carriers than the general population.
Large numbers of staphylococci are required for infection, and patients with more than 1000000 organisms per milliliter of nasal fluid tend to infect themselves and spread the staphylococci to others.
Most staphylococcal infections are caused by Staphylococcus aureus , which grows especially well on skin and mucous membranes but can infect any part of the body.
Staphylococcus aureus causes a wide variety of suppurative diseases, including among others abscesses of the skin (impetigo, boils, styes, carbuncles, breast abscesses, botryomycosis), abscesses of bone (osteomyelitis) and other deep organs, infections of burns and surgical and other wounds, infections of the upper and lower respiratory tracts (pharyngitis, bronchopneumonia , empyema), purulent arthritis, septicemia, acute endocarditis and meningitis.
Staphylococcus aureus releases several exotoxins : enterotoxins, (enteritis and food poisoning) ; exfoliative toxin (exfoliative skin disease); and pyrogenic toxin (toxic shock syndrome).
Staphylococcus epidermidis causes only minor skin lesions, except in patients who have surgically inserted prostheses or are immunodeficient.
Staphylococcus saprophyticus is responsible for bladder infections.
Staphylococcus aureus, named for its golden-yellow colonies on blood agar, produces coagulase (i.e., "coagulase-positive").
Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus saprophyticus, which form white colonies on blood agar (hence the former name Staphylococcus albus), are coagulase-negative.
Staphylococci are spherical and about 1 micrometer in diameter, a size that usually requires an oil immersion lens for identification in tissue sections.
In liquid culture medium as well in tissue, staphylococci grow in characteristic clusters, because they divide in successive perpendicular planes and daughter cells do not separate.
These clusters distinguish staphylococci from streptococci, which grow in chains.
Many strains of staphylococci have developed resistance to penicillin and other antibiotics.
Penicillin resistance is caused by plasmid-mediated production of penicillinase.
Infection of the Skin:
Staphylococcal infections cause a variety of cutaneous and systemic infections, including Impetigo, Furuncles (boils), subcutaneous abscess, staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome, Toxic Shock Syndrome and neonatal toxic shock syndrome-like exanthematous disease, in association with microbial virulence factors.
Carbuncles ; Skin infections- (Histopathological patterns)
Staphylococcal scalded skin syndrome: The exfoliative toxin of S. aureus causes the "scalded skin syndrome", which usually occurs in neonates, infants, and young children, typically in the aftermath of conjunctivitis or minor staphylococcal infection.
A painful, brick-red rash begins on the face, neck, axilla, and groin, and then becomes generalized.
The rash leads to blisters or bullae, and the upper dermis is shed in large sheets.
Breast abscesses usually arise within a few weeks after delivery, when staphylococci are transmitted from an infant with neonatal sepsis to the skin glands in the breasts of the nursing mother.
The disease may be precipitated by the stasis of milk after weaning or missed feeding.
Botryomycosis (a misnomer) is a chronic bacterial infection that may be caused by staphylococci (as well as by Streptococci ), E. coli, and other common bacteria).
Botryomycosis patients as an indurated fibrotic mass with draining sinuses and grains in a purulent exudates and in tissue sections.
Staphylococcal botryomycosis by Yutaka Tsutsumi MD
Microscopically, these grains cannot be distinguished from those of actinomycosis or a mycetoma.
Microcolonies of staphylococci in clusters within the grain are surrounded by an amorphous eosinophilic coating ("Splendore-Hoeppli phenomenon").
Botryomycosis resists antibiotic therapy, probably because the fibrosis and compactness of the grains prevents adequate levels of drug from reaching the bacteria.
The lesion should be totally excised.
Abscesses of Bone (Osteomyelitis):
Acute staphylococcal osteomyelitis most commonly afflicts boys between 3 to 10 years of age, most of whom have a history of infection or trauma.
The bones of the legs are involved in most patients.
Many patients have an underlying bacteremia (S. aureus) with systemic symptoms.
Osteomyelitis may become chronic if not properly treated.
Adults after 50 years of age are more frequently afflicted with osteomyelitis of the vertebra.
The onset of localized back pain is usually abrupt, but may follow staphylococcal infection of the skin or urinary tract, prostatic surgery, infected abortion, puerperal infection, or a surgical procedure such as pinning a fracture.
Infections of Burns and Surgical Wound:
Burns and surgical wounds may become infected with S. aureus from the patient's own nasal carriage or from medical personnel.
The appearance of visible pus in the wound depends on the interaction of bacteria, host factors, and foreign bodies.
Neonates, the elderly, the malnourished, and the obese all have increased susceptibility.
Infections of the upper and lower respiratory tract (Pharyngitis ; Bronchopneumonia and Empyema)
Staphylococcal infections of the respiratory tract most commonly occurs in infants less than 2 years of age, and especially in those under 2 months.
They usually occur in winter, when viral respiratory diseases are prevalent.
The child often has an underlying staphylococcal skin infection. Infection of the respiratory tract is mild at first, but suddenly worsens.
Characteristic features include fever and spasms of dry coughing, followed by marked tachypnea with expiratory grunting, sternal retraction, cyanosis, progressive lethargy, and shock.
There are ulcers of the upper airway and scattered foci of pneumonia.
Other common complications are pleural effusion, empyema, and pneumothorax.
Radiological examination of the chest show patchy infiltrates, which progress rapidly.
Gram-positive cocci are seen in aspirated tracheal or pleural fluid, which is often bloody.
In adults, staphylococcal pneumonia may follow viral influenza, a disease that destroyed the ciliated surface epithelium and leaves the bronchial surface vulnerable to secondary infections.
Patients with chronic lung disease and chronic heart disease (especially rheumatic valve disease) are also at increased risk for staphylococcal pneumonia.
Acute and Chronic Bacterial Arthritis:
S. aureus is the causative organism in half of all cases of septic arthritis. Most of those who have the disease are adults, 50 to 70 years old, and usually only a single joint is involved.
Rheumatoid arthritis and steroid therapy are common predisposing conditions.
The acute onset of staphylococcal arthritis is marked by severe, throbbing pain, often worse at night, which is accompanied by shaking chills and fever.
Acute staphylococcal arthritis may be confused with an acute episode of rheumatoid arthritis.
Septicemia with S. aureus occurs in patients with lowered resistance who are in the hospital for other diseases or conditions.
Some having underlying staphylococcal infections (for example, osteomyelitis or septic arthritis), some have had surgery (especially transurethral resection of the prostate), and some have infections from an indwelling intravenous catheter.
Staphylococcal septicemia is associated with the common symptoms of bacteremia, such as shaking chills and fever.
Miliary abscesses and staphylococcal endocarditis are serious complications.
Bacterial Endocarditis:
Acute and subacute bacterial endocarditis are complications of septicemia caused by S. aureus (as well as by S. epidermidis).
Endocarditis may develop spontaneously on normal valves or on valves damaged by rheumatic fever.
It may also follow insertion of prosthetic valves or other intracardiac surgery.
Those with intravenous heroin addiction also have an increased risk of endocarditis from infection with S. aureus.
In addition to the symptoms of septicemia, a heart murmur is usual, with or without evidence of embolization to other organs.
Staphylococcal meningitis is a complication of surgical procedures on the central nervous system.
Infections of shunts in the brain may be caused by S. aureus or S. epidermidis.
Although staphylococcal meningitis is often not clinically evident, it may be found at autopsy in patients with septicemia or endocarditis.
Staphylococcal Food Poisoning:
Staphylococcal food poisoning is caused by the ingestion of preformed staphyloccal enterotoxin in prepared food.
This commonly involves food eaten in a restaurant (not industrially processed food), especially unrefrigerated meats, milk, or custard and other milk products.
The food (not the patient's excreta) must be tested for staphylococci.
Food that contains more than 100000000 staphylococci per gram contains enough enterotoxin to cause food poisoning.
S. aureus has caused more than half of the food poisoning epidemics in which causative agent has been identified.
Thus, the incidence is much higher than that of epidemics caused by Salmonella , Clostridium Perfringens , Shigella or Streptococcus.
At least six enterotoxins are produced by some of the coagulase-positive strains of S. aureus, and enterotoxins are also produced by by a few coagulase-negative strains.
Enterotoxins are resistant to heat and withstand cooking for 20 to 60 minutes.
Usually, nausea and vomiting begin within a few hours of ingesting the toxin.
In some cases, however, diarrhea and abdominal discomfort are the only symptoms.
Patients with more severe food poisoning have bloody mucus in the vomitus and stools, as well as muscle cramps, headache, and sweating.
The acute phase commonly lasts 4 to 6 hours, and recovery is complete within 1 or 2 days.
Staphylococcal Gastroenteritis:
Acute gastroenteritis is characterized by histologic changes in both stamach and small intestine.
Within 2 hours of the introduction of enterotoxin, there is a neutrophilic exudates in the stomach.
By 6 hours the gastric mucosal cells are depleted of mucus, and the mucosa is covered by a mucopurulent exudates.
The inflammatory reaction in the stomach subsides within 24 hours.
In the small intestine, by 4 hours there is focal degeneration of the epithelium of the villi, elongation of crypts, and infiltration of neutrophils in the lamina propria.
After 12 hours regression begins, and by 48 to 72 hours the mucosa appears normal.
Infections with S. Epidermidis:
S. epidermidis, an opportunistic pathogen, causes only minor skin lesions, except in patients undergoing surgery for insertion of prosthetic devices and patients with impaired immune systems.
In healthy persons, the organism usually resides on the skin of the axilla, head, nose, and limbs.
Infections with S. epidermidis are often associated with foreign bodies, such as prosthetic valves, shunts for cerebrospinal fluid, joint prostheses.
Prosthetic valvular endocarditis, for example, may be caused by contaminated coronary suction lines during the insertion of prosthetic valves, with subsequent infection of repaired areas of the heart and prosthetic valve.
Deep sternal wound infections may result, often in the first few weeks after the operation.
S. epidermidis can be the direct cause (without foreign body) of bladder infections, endocarditis, and other infections.
Strains of S. epidermidis are frequently resistant to penicillin and other antimicrobial agents, and infected prostheses and grafted vessels are often need to be replaced.
Infection with S. Saprophyticus:
S. saprophyticus resembles S. epidermidis, but biochemical assays and the pattern of drug resistance distinguish the two.
For reasons unknown, S. saprophyticus causes bladder infections, primarily in young women.
Strains of S. saprophyticus are sensitive to many antibiotics.

After a lot of money spent trying to find toxin free sunscreen this is it! Compared to almost every other sunscreen I've tried this has a very minimal whitecast, it's honestly barely noticeable! Very happy with the product, will be repurchasing love the size of the tube!!
Great protection for an outdoors lover
Posted by Unknown on Aug 12th 2019
This is the best sunscreen I've ever used. For my skin type (fair), it lasts most of a day whether I'm golfing, hiking or working in the garden. To know it's also more environmentally friendly is a big bonus.
Very Effective!
Posted by Terry Matsuoka on Aug 9th 2019
I love All Good's sunscreen. I've tried other all natural sunscreen with zinc and they are really difficult to rub in to where you don't look like a ghost. All Good rubs in pretty nice and stays in there. I go bodyboarding pretty often and I never get sunburnt.
I feel good about the sunscreen is reef safe. Altogether it's my favorite sunscreen and the only one I use now.
Great protection!!
Posted by Sheli on Jul 12th 2019
We've been using this all over the Mediterranean and it's been perfect! My husband did comment on the slightly not-so-pleasant scent (he's not at all into the chemical free life on his own accord), but the smell is completely gone once it's rubbed in. And he only commented the very first use so it's really not bad at all. For an artificial fragrance free product you certainly shouldn't expect it to smell like the chemical laden coconut ones! Wish I'd gotten more than the 2 tubes when I ordered! Thanks for a great product, All Good!
Best Sunscreen Ever!
Posted by Kim on Jun 3rd 2019
I must use sunscreen faithfully as i've had several skin cancers! This product is the best - no harmful chemicals so I can rest assured in its quality! Great product! Kids' products are great, too!
Pleased skeptic
Posted by Floss on May 23rd 2019
Good application, benign smell, blended in well. I was skeptical of effectiveness at 30spf. We spent almost two hours in the full sun on the beach by the water. Effectiveness of this sunscreen was evidenced by the small triangular angry red burn, clearly defined, where I missed application. The rest of my stomach was fine, with the skin gaining only a tinge of color. I am a believer!
Nice Sunscreen
Posted by Unknown on Mar 13th 2019
I bought this for a Caribbean vacation. I was very impressed with the sunscreen overall. I bought both the spray and the lotion. The doesn't have the same white cast as the spray. A little goes a long way. Best to apply when the lotion is warm and you are dry, but you skin moisturized. It is a bit sticky to begin with, but that goes away. Does rub in clear after some rubbing and does its job. Just make sure to reapply like any other sunscreen. I didn't after 3+ hours in the water I got a bit burned. Also bonus no real smell! Nothing tropical or coconutty.
great sunscreens!
Posted by Pam on Aug 6th 2018
We were looking for an all natural sunscreen that goes on without the thick white sheen associated with so many other brands. This one seems to go on without too much of that chalkiness. The fact that it wont harm the coral reefs is essential.
What's with the price?
Posted by CCJ on May 5th 2018
Fantastic product - it goes on a bit sticky, but that goes away after a little while. I have sensitive, reactive skin and this feels great, no heat, no stinging. The only thing I don't like is the fact that the All Good website is one of the most expensive places to buy it!
Very good with a minor issue
Posted by RJS on Mar 1st 2018
This is a very good product, and I like the texture, but l just bought a new tube a month or so ago and it's already separating. I'm hoping this is just the oils separating and that the product is still good (expiration date is 5/19), so I am shaking it and using it. Fingers crossed.

Plastic's Big Role Across Industries
As one of the country's leading female chefs and restaurateurs who has pioneered the culinary scene in scenic Sedona, Arizona for the past 20 years, chef Lisa Dahl knows a thing or two about food. Not only is food something we all desperately need to survive, it's also something "for the soul" as she so eloquently puts it.
When we sit down after a long day to enjoy the fruits of our labor (no pun intended), we don't necessarily think about what it took to get all that food to our grocery store shelves or favorite restaurant, but it's worth exploring.
"I want to say one word to you. Just one word. Are you listening? Plastics."
That was a famous line from the movie, The Graduate, that hits home more today than it ever has in the past.
Recyclable Polyolefin Plastics Utilized Every Day By OEM's
For all the negative press consumable plastics are receiving in the news today, there needs to be a positive spin on durable polyolefin plastic goods. These plastics play a very important role in the preparation, growth, harvesting, delivery and shopping of food that most people don't really understand or grasp. Fully recyclable polyolefin plastics are utilized every day by OEM's to make tractors lighter and more fuel efficient, water and sprayer tanks more durable, hydroponic/aeroponic growing systems easier to manufacture, and produce totes, bakery trays, milk and beverage crates re-useable and returnable to help keep their costs down which in turn keeps our costs down. Polyolefin plastics are also used in the shopping carts we use to hunt and gather as we make our way through the isles at our local grocery or retail store.
Heavy Composites & Metals Replaced By Durable Polyolefins
Since the early 1990's, low surface energy (LSE) polyolefin plastics have skyrocketed in production replacing heavier composites, metals and other materials due to their exceptional durability. Industrial Designers and Engineers chose these plastics specifically for their ability to stand up against chemicals, various harsh environments and heavy impacts while lasting 10 years or more, the normal life expectancy for most of these products.
The resistant nature of LSE polyolefin plastics makes them the perfect plastic for these types of products that must endure all types of abuses. But ironically, it's that same resistant nature that keeps labels from sticking or bonding to the surface. That means Brands names, logos, and safety/warning labels have no chance to endure once they get past the initial decorative process at the factory and are introduced into the real world.
What If Safety Labels Are Missing?
As an example, look at the shopping cart flap next time you're at the store. If the safety label is missing, and most of them are, ask yourself what the implications might be? According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, it's big. 20,000 children are injured every year in shopping cart related injuries. In 2012, the ASTM Shopping Cart Subcommittee issued a warning label standard for shopping cart manufacturers. Within the standard, it states that "warning labels shall be permanent" which begs the question, what does permanent mean? For consumers, permanent means that the warning label on the flap is giving them vital information that may protect their children from harm. For the grocery store or retail chain, permanent means protection against liability. In other words, for consumers, grocery stores and retail chains, the labels better be truly permanent.
Supply Chain Goods Require Permanent Labeling
But shopping carts are just one of the many products we listed earlier. Re-usable & returnable beverage crates, baking trays, produce crates, supply chain pallets, food service items, water tanks and more need permanent Brands names, warning labels and shipping/tracking information that can endure the constant abuse of impacts, abrasion, pressure washing, cleaning chemicals, dishwashing cycles, various UV and moisture environments including contact with fuels, oils and other chemicals. We can tell you with confidence that there is no method of labeling today that can survive this magnitude of abuse whether it's pressure-sensitive adhesive, hot stamp foil, heat transfer or in mold label (IML), even if they're called permanent.
Labels To Meld Into LSE Durable Goods
The only viable solution is to use a 100% compatible Polyfuze label tailored to permanently meld into LSE polyolefin plastics.
How permanent are Polyfuze labels? So permanent that they're backed by our lifetime guarantee, our pledge that brand names, logos, and safety/warning labels will be on these durable products until their end of life use.
When end of life comes and it's time to recycle, there's no labels to remove that only becomes waste on the ground or landfill because Polyfuze labels are 100% recyclable, just like the LSE polyolefin plastics they're seamlessly fused to.
Polyfuze, the only label permanent enough to help LSE polyolefin plastic products get the produce, baked goods, beverages and other products where they're going.
Did you know that polyolefin plastic theft of returnable/re-usable bakery, milk, produce and beverage crates is BIG Business for recycling thieves? Millions of dollars are lost to theft every year, a cost that eventually gets passed along to the consumer.

Purchase In Bulk
Why do so many customers enjoy the benefits of purchasing in bulk?
1) Lower Cost:
There are two reasons why we can offer custom bulk purchases at a lower cost than purchasing by the piece. First, custom beef and pork processing cost less and secondly, the amount of time spent handling the product is less. Because of these two reasons, we get to pass along the savings to you, our farm friends. It's really a win-win for both the farmer and the consumer.
2) Flexibility:
You get to choose which cuts you want to keep and which ones you don't. Nothing is wasted. It's whatever you choose! We will send an easy questionaire for you to fill out to decide how want your animal cut.
3) Convenience:
Be ready and have your freezer stocked for several months at a time! This saves you time as it's a one time transaction and meat is always at your fingertips.

Yes. I did it. I left the house. And a friend once told me that
unless its documented, its like it never happened. She was very right.
More recently, I was told by another friend that i seem to speak in tongues. I enjoy doing so, if that is, in fact, the case. Less words, more facts. Its a good style, and the combination of photographic documentations and speaking in the bare minimal amount of words needed to get your points across, is a beautiful thing to have the ability to do.

Shallow Running Plugs by Gord Burton
When pike are located in water less than ten feet deep they can be tempted by using shallow diving plugs and by that I mean that dive will no more than ten feet when casting and retrieving. I use this approach at any time of the year and have had good results at all times.
On so many waters I have exploited such situations using this sort of lure; in fact many of my greatest catches have come when fishing this way. Large numbers of pike of all sizes. Multiple catches of big doubles and twenty pounders and even thirty pounders, a mega bonus. The number and selection of plugs for this particular situation are legion but I will throw in a few of my greats to help you readers along the road to "pike savages lures". Super Shad's, Jake's, Shallow Invaders, Believers, Rapala Minnows and Magnums and of course the legendary Creek Chub pikie.
Also I must not forget the many small alphabet lures that catch loads of fish. Also slow sinking Jerkbaits are proving to be dynamite catchers of big fish and the Strike Pro Buster Jerk range are destined for greatness. In the most favourable clear water conditions and when the pike are in an aggressive mood they are likely to come chasing and slashing at the lure retrieved in a whole variety of ways. A fish just off the bottom in a prowling mood is likely to shoot right to top and strike a plug retrieved high in the water but in contrast a fish in a lesser feeding mood may require something a bit closer or easier to hit so the many changing retrieves become the secret of stirring the pike, into the strike! whee ha, I love it!
Colour of the water governs my choice of lure and style of retrieve a great deal. So think carefully and ensure you pick a good lure for the job. In clear water a whole range of colours will score heavily for you, perch and shad patterns being great, black banded plugs are excellent in water tinged with colour as are the gaudy fluorescent patterns, just keep experimenting and you work out a good code of fish catching retrieves and lure finishes.
Cast the lure out and crank it into action then periodically or sometimes throughout the retrieve keep jerking lightly on the rod to make the lure keel on its side and give off flashes as it comes back in. This trick will send out the call to fish. If no result from these first efforts simply send the plug deeper down into the water so that it is working its way down to the fish that may not rise up to strike.
Even anglers of long term experience go a bit jerk and twitch crazy at times but sometimes a more subtle approach will pay off. In which case a none-stop, continual reeling in of a lure and putting no other action into a retrieve brings about the best results. In fact I hammered the big trout water pike silly fishing this very way. Quite often this tactic will bring lots of follows from pike but a sudden spurt in the retrieve and change in the action of the lure will get a take.
Sometimes stopping and allowing the lure to rise up in the water is a deadly trick to bring about takes and one I have had a huge number of pike fall for, and also expect slack line takes as the lure rises. In complete contrast I have hammered out lots of fish really ripping and jerking on the rod when fishing big crankbaits like 'Pikies' and 'Super Shads'. Mind you vigorous style of fishing is usually in wild windy weather conditions, in my early days I rejoiced "give-em a Creek Chub, they love em"! Lets me tell you also that you cannot retrieve too quickly for pike no matter how fast you reel, fish will still lash onto a plug. Lots of times I have shown this to work, so you see all sorts of ruses will work at times, its getting it right on the day!

we do not remember days, we remember moments. {cesare pavese}
i'm a big lover of nature.
there is so much beauty in this world.
plant life never ceases to amazing me.
the variety and vibrance feels infinite. Continue reading "natural close-up"
Large. Diverse. Work in progress. So many details. So much everything. Vibrant. More than I can contain with words. Wow. Speechless. Love.
People hang out in the streets. Like pull a chair out and sit on the sidewalk for hours or just stand in a corner or sit on a stoop. Every place outside is a public place.
People are beautiful. They also wear a fair amount of sweat pants. Everybody has an iPhone, in their hand.
Manhatten is twice as expensive to eat and drink in than Brooklyn. Brooklyn feels like Portland but with more brownstones and people of color. I love the diversity here, it's so refreshing.
Most of the coffee here is from Portland or Seattle. (Starbucks is disgustingly everywhere, ew!)
It feels like there are fewer homeless people here than Portland.
I've walked more this week than I have in a long time. It's awesome and harder than I thought it would be. My tiny little legs…getting me 7-10 miles in a day.
I'm learning the subway system. So fun and fascinating!
I still feel like I'm on west coast time and I've been here for a week!
I have such a feeling of possibility before me.
. all photos taken with iPhone 6+ . first afternoon here . september 25, 2015 . edited using vscocam . #nessayayvacay .
Hey friends,
If you know me on instagram, then you know that every other friday night I post a lot of #tobendandback photos.
You see, every other friday during the school year, my boyfriend and I make a pilgrimage from Portland to Bend, Oregon then turnaround and come back. We go there for the explicit reason of picking up his son, who lives there, and bringing him home with us for the weekend. This is about 3.5 hours each way, which makes for seven straight hours in the car! It's like going on a road trip and ending up in the same place you started at the end of the ride. Not my favorite way to spend a friday night but it is beautiful and I sure do love that kid we pick up, always a treat to have him back with us again. Here's the routes we take, to give you a feel for the kind of terrain we cover.
So, just over a year ago, I decided that I should make a bit of a project out of this trip and take photos along the way and post them on instagram. I have to say making these photos have made the trips more fun and my iPhone photography skills have improved greatly along the way. If you go back to the beginning of that tag (#tobendandback), you can see how much I have improved. I am starting to find it more of a challenge as I don't want to post the same image over and over again. I use the vscocam app for a lot of my shots, I really love the filters they have and the ability to adjust exposure, highlights, etc to help make the photos more accurate to what I saw (I do wish the app was a bit faster though, sigh).
Here is just a sampling of my photos in this series (in no particular order).
Sometimes we stop along the way and see the sights a bit, but most of the time (and the majority of all the shots in this series) we just stay in the car and get through the trip. All I can say is, at least, it's a pretty ride.
Follow along again this friday on instagram (I'm @nessavay) for more of this series.
Here are my submissions for day five of 'Roid week. You can see day one here, day two here, day three here, and day four here.
Check out the 'roid week pool here and day five's favorites here.
Both shots were made with my Polaroid Colorpack II using Fuji FP-100c film. The first shot was made in late-June in Nelahem Bay after a big crabbing adventure. The second shot was made about mid-April along the Springwater Corridor.
Goodbye, 'roid week! I loved you and can't wait until next year to do it all again. In the meantime, I think I am gonna post more of these instants here on my blog soon. Most of these have many more photos that go with them so you will likely see them again but with more of a story. I have been so inspired by this week. I can't wait to get out and shoot more creatively for next year.
I also love that my new blog theme lets my photos be a lot larger. If possible, expand your browser and enjoy a grander view of my photos. They are set for 800px wide now. Not too shabby.
See ya next week! I got more in store for this space then.
Here are my submissions for day four of 'Roid week. You can see day one here, day two here, day three here.
Check out the 'roid week pool here and day four's favorites here.
The first shot was made with my Polaroid Spectra and expired Polaroid Softtone film on April 25, 2012 at the Ace Hotel in Downtown Portland. The second shot was taken about a week earlier along the Springwater Corridor with my Polaroid Colorpack II and Fuji FP-100c film.
Here are my submissions for day three of 'Roid week. You can see day one here, day two here.
Check out the 'roid week pool here and day three's favorites here.
The both shots were made with my Polaroid Colorpack II and Fuji FP-100c film in late-May at the Wooden Shoe Tulip Festival in Woodburn, Oregon.

Many of us have came across a not that familiar program on our PCs — VulkanRT. More often than not, Vulkan RT has been spotted in the app list of Windows 10 or even in the Program Files folder. Of course, when faced with the unknown, most of us wonder — what is it? Do we need it? Should we remove it?
What's more, the first thing that comes to mind when we see an unfamiliar program is that it is some kind of malware. But, VulkanRT isn't a virus. In fact, it isn't harmful in any way. Therefore, we should not remove it from our computers.
VulkanRT — Vulkan Runtime Libraries is very beneficial for our computers. Keep reading to find out why, and why it's extremely important for gamers.
VulkanRT — What Is It?
In short, VulkanRT improves the efficiency in 3D applications. Therefore, it's important for gamers, as it affects the performance of games and other interactive media. This graphics API designed for cross-platform performance maintains the balance between CPU and GPU usage.
The Khronos Group created it in 2014 and announced the release of the program in 2015, on the Game Developers Conference. This company focuses on designing and manufacturing open standard APIs.
Here's the main benefit of VulkanRT. It's beneficial for multi-core CPUs because it distributes the workload evenly. This OpenGL successor is more complex than its predecessor. However, that doesn't mean it can completely take over for OpenGL.
VulkanRT has certain similarities with Direct3D12 as well, but it can also work with more than one OS. Unlike the Direct3D12, it works with Android, Linux, and, of course, Windows. What's more, there is third-party support for apple lovers as well, as it can work on iOS and MacOS.
How Did VulkanRT Get On My Computer?
Most likely, VulkanRT found a permanent home in our PC after the latest driver update for the NVIDIA and AMD graphics cards. It's also possible that it came with the newly purchased graphics card and the GPU drivers that follow it.
There's also a possibility that a newly downloaded game is "at fault" since many games exploit VulkanRT or even require it. Therefore, any new addition can be the answer to the question — how did VulkanRT get on my computer?
Use it or Ditch It?
VulkanRT is a useful program, even necessary at times. Therefore, we shouldn't uninstall it. Even though it looks like it came out of left field, it isn't harmful — quite the contrary.
There's a possibility that our anti-virus programs will flag VulkanRT as suspicious or potentially harmful because it's new and unfamiliar. However, there's no need to worry. VulkanRT brings many benefits without any risks and it's completely safe for any PC.

Two Wheels Organization gives away 25 bicycles to Norwalk children
NORWALK -- Santa Claus arrived early for more than two-dozen Norwalk children courtesy of a bike giveaway arranged by Two Wheels Organization and the Child Guidance Center of Mid-Fairfield County.
The giveaway was held Sunday morning at Tucci Lumber Bats on Wilson Avenue in South Norwalk.
"We didn't tell (the children) what we were there for and we opened the door and they ran in and all the bikes had their personal names on them," said Hector Correa, president and co-founder of Two Wheels Organization.
Pete Tucci, owner of Tucci Lumber Bats, offered his business as a location for the giveaway.
Mayor Harry W. Rilling and Councilman John Kydes, a longtime friend of Correa, also attended.
"Hector's passion for fitness and helping his community is inspirational," Kydes said. "It was an honor to help him with organizing this event but he and Two Wheels Organization co-founder, Heather Munoz deserve all the credit."
Two Wheels Organization (T.W.O.), which is based in Stratford, was established to provide new and restored bicycles to under-privileged children in Connecticut.
T.W.O works with local community centers, food pantries and housing developments to identify the children who will receive the bicycles.
Through a fundraiser held in August, T.W.O was able to purchase 50 bicycles and helmets.
Along with this Sunday's giveaway in Norwalk, an additional 25 bikes and helmets were given away at Stratford Community Center on Saturday, according to organizers of the events.
Safety training was also part of the events.
Officer Hector Delgado from the Norwalk Police Department hosted Norwalk's safety course on Sunday. Officers from the Bridgeport Police Department provided training in Stratford on Saturday.
More fundraisers are planned, according to Correa.
"We are putting together a 5K race in the spring as another fundraiser for the charity," Correa said.

Why do we need #WorldGratitudeDay"?
I was one of those skeptics who not only pooh-poohed the whole idea but also avoided any Gratitude Posts put up on the blogosphere. Somehow I felt that putting out the things I appreciate would invite the "Evil Eye". My friend Corinne often told me that this is not the case. But I still did not buy her belief.
This does not mean that I am not grateful for the things in my life. I just felt that it would somehow be boastful and even attract the 'Evil Eye". But there were times when I felt compelled to express my gratitude and actually linked up with Vidya Sury's Gratitude Circle. Now I try to be a regular and find that it felt good.
What I learnt about doing a gratitude post is that
- Expressing gratitude does not attract the evil eye. On the contrary, I realised that people are too busy with their own lives to think about what you've written about yourself and your life.
- Expressing gratitude makes it easier to accept things. Very often, I grumble about the silly little things in my life. But when I take a step back and think about what could have been worse, I find that I should be grateful for what I have.
- Expressing gratitude makes you realise that you do have a lot going for you. My life is a very ordinary life. Every day is just like every other day. I get up, get ready for the day, go through the day and at sun down get ready for bed. But humdrum as it may sound, when I write things down, I realise how grateful I should be that my life is just normal.
- Expressing gratitude humbles you. And that's when I realise that there is so much for me to be grateful for! It is not riches or travel or food or even things that make me happy. Just the ordinariness of life is abundance enough.
So every morning when I get up I Thank God that I'm alive to see the new day. Every night I express my thanks for the day gone by ( yes even if it is not my dream day).
Positivity attracts positivity and I realise now, why we need to have a World Gratitude Day. Because the positive energy generated by all those grateful souls on that day will create more momentum for more happy things to happen.
I've put up this post rather late in the day, but I did express my Gratitude to the Universe yesterday on #WorldGratitudeDay!
