Cheap date ideas
1. Hang out with animals in Lincoln Park
Not only is the Lincoln Park Zoo open every day of the year, it's also 100 percent free to visit. Get cozy while you check out the lions, tigers and bears, and be sure to head back in December, when the grounds are illuminated with colorful holiday lights for ZooLights.
Make it a date: Once you're done looking at the animals, grab a bite to eat at nearby Butcher & the Burger in Lincoln Park. The house patty is less than $10, and complimentary toppings include Sriracha mayo, tomato, onion and lettuce. As an added bonus, it's BYOB, so bring along a bottle of wine to save a few more bucks.
2. Enjoy dinner and a show in Millennium Park
While it's undeniably one of Chicago's biggest tourist traps, Millennium Park has a lot to offer to local couples looking for affordable entertainment. Come summer, you can lay out a blanket on the lawn of Pritzker Pavilion and check out free concerts, movies and festivals.
Make it a date: Swing by Pastoral and grab a picnic basket or sandwiches to go. (Booze is banned at some Millennium Park summer events, but outside food is almost always allowed.)
3. Catch a free show at the Empty Bottle
Looking for a toe-tapping night out? On most Mondays, the Empty Bottle hosts free shows featuring local acts and touring bands, including indie rockers and experimental electronic artists.
Make it a date: Grab a table next door at Bite Cafe and order the Monday night special: A $5 chicken sandwich topped with pickled chiles, house pickles and aioli. Splurge on a few rounds of drinks or a photobooth session with your partner.
4. Have a cinematic evening at the Music Box Theatre
The Music Box's 90-year-old main theater is the most romantic place to see a movie, with its Italian architecture and simulated clouds rolling across the ceiling. The prices are just as nice: Adult admission is just $11, but on Mondays, most screenings are $7. Popcorn and soda are B.O.G.O.
Make it a date: After the credits roll, walk two blocks south to the Butcher's Tap, which features a menu of affordable sandwiches and more than 115 beers.
5. Play Ping Pong at SPiN
Nothing breaks the ice quite like smacking a small plastic ball as hard as you can. This River North Ping Pong club charges $8 an hour (per person) for use of one of its tables, but you can offset the cost with happy hour drink deals, which are available from 4 to 7pm Monday through Friday.
Make it a date: Head across the river to the iconic Billy Goat Tavern. Impress you date by pronouncing "cheezborger" correctly and rattling off a few facts about the framed photos of journalists hanging on the restaurant's walls.
6. See a turtle race at Tin Lizzie
Ever been to a turtle race? It's never too late. A $25 fee grants you access to an open bar from 5 to 9pm, which includes beer, well drinks, pizza and five race tickets. Bet on your favorite turtle, and if your reptile wins the race, you get free shots.
Make it a date: After the races, take your date two blocks north to the Wiener's Circle, a small walkup stand known for its sassy employees, a short-lived reality show and great hot dogs.
7. Brush up on the classic at Doc Films
If your date had "cinephile" or "film buff" in their dating profile, this is sure to win you brownie points. Curated by the University of Chicago, Doc Films screens movies every day of the academic year, often showing flicks that can't be seen anywhere else. Tickets are always just $7, and summer memberships are $25.
Make it a date: Have a drink at neighborhood speakeasy the Hyde. To get into this hidden spot, you'll need to provide a password that can be found on the bar's Instagram account.
8. Become a pinball wizard at Emporium
They say nothing's sexier than talent, so why not impress your date by getting a high score on one of Emporium's pinball tables? In addition to a selection of retro arcade games, this Wicker Park haunt boats a full bar and allows customers to bring in outside food. Tokens are just 25 cents, so your money goes far.
Make it a date: Take advantage of the food policy by ordering from Antique Taco, located two doors down. All of the tacos ring up under $5, which allows you to spend more on that Game of Thrones pinball machine when you get back to the bar.
9. Learn about liquor at the Koval Distillery
The liquors that Koval Distillery produces are expensive, but a tour of the Chicago facility where they're made is a bargain. For just $10 per person, you and your boo will get to see how Koval formulates its organic whiskeys while sampling the product.
Make it a date: Balance out the booze at Sun Wah BBQ in Uptown. The restaurant is known for its Hong Kong-style BBQ, and if you don't order the jumbo-sized family portions, you can easily feast on egg rolls, Chinese broccoli and roast duck for less than $40.
10. Go on a gallery crawl in Pilsen
Going on an adventure is a great way to get to know someone, but you don't have to book a flight to spend an evening exploring. Every second Friday of the month, the Chicago Arts District hosts 2nd Fridays Gallery Night, allowing you and your date to explore the galleries and studios along Halsted Street in Pilsen at your own pace.
Make it a date: After you've taken in paintings, sculptures and photographs by local creators, walk south on Halsted Street to Del Toro, a Pilsen restaurant that serves cheap tacos and excellent margaritas—we recommend the Pepino.
11. Do brunch and a wine tasting in Roscoe Village
If you're dating someone who's vegan or vegetarian, you know it can be hard to find restaurants that are accommodating. Start your Sunday with a healthy brunch at Lucy's Cafe, a small Roscoe Village haunt that boasts an entirely vegan and vegetarian menu. Prices are reasonable, with most entrees costing $12 or less.
Make it a date: Of course, it wouldn't be brunch without a little day drinking. After your meal, head over to Lush Wine and Spirits for a free vino tasting beginning at 2pm.
12. Find big screens and deals at the Davis Theater
Dinner and a movie may not be the most original date idea, but it's an undeniably fun way to spend an evening with someone you love—and it doesn't have to cost an arm and a leg. The Davis Theater boasts ticket prices that are a bit less than the multiplex.
Make it a date: Adjacent Carbon Arc Bar offers drinks and classic bar food specials that you can take with you into the theater. The restaurant serves brunch on Saturdays and Sundays from 10am to 2pm, with a menu that includes $15 bottomless mimosas.

Hair and beauty salon undergoes makeover ahead of glamorous relaunch
PUBLISHED: 15:49 09 August 2019 | UPDATED: 15:49 09 August 2019
A hair and beauty salon has closed temporarily as it undergoes a makeover before it returns offering a pampering experience with a twist.
The Haven hair and beauty in Great Yarmouth, which closed on Tuesday, will reopen next month under a new name.
The Party Boutique will offer customers of all ages a 'pamper party' which includes nail painting, hair styling and facial makeovers.
Owner of the business, Kinza Halifax, has described her excitement at the new business venture.
"I really can't wait," she said.
"We just weren't getting the footfall with the hairdressing business so I had to make a change.
"We first started offering these pamper parties in December and they have taken off ever since."
Miss Halifax, from Gorleston, first opened The Haven hair and beauty salon in October 2018.
Despite the business from regular customers, the 37-year-old said it wasn't sustainable to keep the salon open as a hairdressers.
Miss Halifax first trialled the idea of a 'pamper party' with her niece.
She said: "We weren't sure what to do for Lashaya's tenth birthday party so I came up with the idea of getting her friends together for a celebration in the salon.
"All the children loved getting glammed up so I thought I'd advertise it.
"It's one of the best decisions I made because it has proved to be so popular."
The Party Boutique in Regent Street will still offer hair cuts by appointment.
The parties which last for two and a half hours, can be enjoyed by children as young as three.
You may also want to watch:
Miss Halifax and her team of six will also offer the experience to hen groups who can bring their own alcohol.
Customers will be able to enjoy a range of sweet treats as they get primped and preened.
Packages start at £13 per person.
She added: "People love being looked after and having lots of attention. That's exactly what we provide."
A 'Mummy and me' service will also be available which allows mums and daughters to spend some quality time together while they are looked after by the team.
The salon will reopen on September 7 with bookings now available.

Are you looking to buy a zero turn mower or already using one? No matter what your answer is, the chances that you know these interesting things about this equipment is very slim. A zero turn mower is an excellent device that used by both professionals as well as residential customers for developing a manicured looking lawn. Without any doubt, it is one of the most efficient & precise machines that you can find in the market.
In this post, we thought about telling you about some of the important facts about zero turn mowers. We ensure that you will find them very interesting and knowledgeable to read. Let's check out each of them now.
How was this machine invented?
The history of zero turn mowers goes back to more than seven decades when Max Swisher invented its first commercial version under the name Ride King. At that time, it had one drive wheel in the front and two on the rear side. Over the years, there were a tremendous amount of modifications made on the machine, and now you can see many beautiful models available in the market.
The first commercially viable zero turn mower was launched in the market by Grasshopper Mowers in 1969. After some years, the zero turn radius mower introduced in the market by the Dixon brand. If we talk about today's time, over 30 companies are manufacturing a range of models for the catering needs of the customers.
Why are they quicker?
The main purpose behind manufacturing zero turn mowers was to reduce the mowing time by up to 50%. The reason behind that is its zero turn technology that allows the machine to maneuver around obstacles quite easily. Furthermore, it drives at a pretty quicker speed when compared with a typical lawn tractor.
The usual speed of this machine is 6-8MPH that allows the riders to complete their job quite easily. That's not all; having this machine ensure you don't have to perform follow-up trimming.
How does their steering system work?
In zero turn mowers, we can say that steering can be defined as the changes in speeds of drive tires with the method known as differential steering. There are two levers for controlling the tire speed. The mower moved in the forward direction when both of them pushed at the same time with similar force.
On the other hand, the mower moves in the backward direction when these levers are pulled back at the same time.
How do zero turn mowers handle slopes?
This machine work on the slopes by traction of rear wheels as there is no power in its front wheels. That's why it strongly recommended that you should never use it on the slopes more than 10 degrees as loss of traction can affect the ability to stop.
Moreover, finding areas with 15 or 20-degree slopes are very rare so you won't face any problem using it.
We believe that you find this information about zero turn mowers useful. If you know any other interesting fact, then please tell us in the comment section. It will be beneficial for the fellow readers for sure.

How to Make Paper Flowers > TULIPMaterials required
Strip of red crepe paper, 10 inches x 3 1/2 for petals
Piece of yellow crepe paper, 1 1/2 inches square for the pistil
Piece of brown tissue paper, 1 1/2 inches x 1 inch for the stamens
Piece of green crepe paper, 8 inches x 2 inches for the leaves
Piece of green crepe paper, 7 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches for the leaves
Piece of green crepe paper, 7 inches x 1 inch for the leaves
Piece of wire, 8 inches long for the stalk
Strip of pale green crepe paper, 8 inches x 3/4 inches for the stalk
Preparation of Materials
Cut the strip of red crepe paper, 10 inches x 3 1/2, into two equal lengths, by the dotted line (Fig. 98. which is half size). No.1. piece represents three petals, and No. II. other three petals.
Fold No. I. piece into three equal parts, by the dotted lines A and B (Fig. 99), and then fold into two equal parts by the dotted line C (Fig. 100).
In (Fig. 101), D-D represents a vertical fold down the middle of the petals. Cut into shape with scissors through the dotted line.
Repeat this process with No. II. piece of paper.
Fold the strip of brown tissue paper, 1 1/2 inches x 1 inch by the dotted line from E to F (Fig. 102), open out, cut up with scissors as far as G-G, five times, to obtain the six necessary stamens (Fig. 103).
Take the three strips of green crepe paper, 8 inches x 2 inches, 7 1/2 x 1 1/2 inches and 7 x 1 inch and fold each piece into two equal parts, by the dotted lines H-J, and K (Fig. 104). Cut the three into shape with scissors, by the dotted lines, to obtain desired shape. L-L (Fig. 105) represents the central line of each leaf.
How to assemble the parts of the tulip
Roll the strip of yellow crepe paper 1 1/2 inches square from M to N (Fig. 106).
Wrap the stalk-wire twice ronnd one end of this roll at 0 (Fig. 107); then wrap the strip of stamens round this, and hold in place with a few twists of thread at P (Fig. 108).
Place No. 1. petal at the side, and twist the thread round a few times to keep it there (Fig. 109). Add No. II. petal so as to partly overwrap No. I. (Fig. 11O), and place No. III. petal in the empty space. Put your thumbs inside each petal and press outwards at the base to give the shape shown in Fig. 111.
The other three petals fit immediately over the joinings of the first three. Put the thumbs inside the three outer petals and press outwards at the base to give the proper shape.
Wrap the stalk with strip of pale green crepe paper for 4 inches, then place the smallest leaf at the side, Q, where the wrappings of the stalk ceases, and hold in place with a few twists of thread (Fig 112). Continue wrapping the stalk for another inch and place the medium leaf opposite the smallest one.
Wrap the stalk for another inch, and place the largest leaf over the smallest and opposite to the medium one. Wrap the stalk to the end, and draw the ends of the leaf slightly over the thumbs to give them the necessary curve. Fig. 113 shows the finished flower.
Arrange in a vase alone, or put into a cane plant pot, or fancy pot of any kind, holding in place with dried green moss.

Fergus Bisset reflects on yesterday's par-3 competition.
Words: Fergus Bisset
I love watching the Wednesday par-3 competition at The Masters. It's a little "amuse-bouche" before the main golfing feast, just a taster of what's to come. We armchair golf fans are given our first, tantalising glimpse of the verdant Augusta playing surfaces, the towering pines and shimmering water hazards.
Since 1960 when the first Augusta Chairman, Clifford Roberts, "suggested" that the competitors participate in a contest around the short course on Wednesday afternoon, the par-3 competition has become a Masters tradition – a grand spectacle and perfect warm-up to the year's first Major. It's a joyous celebration of golf where Masters patrons have a chance to see tournament participants, non-competing past champions, and honorary invitees in relaxed mood enjoying the company of their peers, families and the people who come to support them.
And I agree, the family and friends side of things is cool. But what is also cool is just how well some of these guys negotiate the exceedingly tricky 1,060 yards. Ryan Moore played it in only 21 strokes – six under par. I don't think quite enough is made of just how impressive that is and how it underlines the sublime pitching (and putting) ability of the top professionals.
I'd be happy to negotiate nine holes on the putting green in 21 strokes – that's just three over twos! Can you imagine standing on nine consecutive short par 3s – each with treacherously sloping greens that are so fast they would make putting in your bath-tub seem a touch on the slow side – and walking away with six twos and three threes!
Yes, these are only wedge holes and there are areas where the ball will feed into the pin, but finding those tiny spots requires incredible control. Anything just on the wrong side of a slope can fall off the green or run a long way from the flag.
There's always a great deal of focus on the "jinx" of the par-3 winner never going on to win the event proper… Spooky! And there are endless shots of five year olds missing putts from 2 feet. That's great and it's certainly fun. But I can't help thinking Clifford Roberts would have preferred to see more of the players taking the Ryan Moore approach and just trying to see how low they can go round the par-3. (Moore managed to involve the family too – little Tucker was in tow! But he still concentrated on getting it round in the best score he could.) It would make an incredible spectacle if all the top players gave it absolutely everything and went for short course glory.
Ryan Moore clearly doesn't believe in the "jinx" and why should he? It's just a strange co-incidence and, perhaps he could be the first one to dispel the myth. He's obviously got the skills required to deal with the testing Augusta putting surfaces and surrounds.
Having said that, Moore hasn't made it onto my betting slip this week. I've gone Each Way on:
Jason Day, Bubba Watson, Zach Johnson, Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Patrick Reed, Jimmy Walker and Angel Cabrera.
Yes, the usual scattergun approach, but I've just got a feeling I might have picked a winner in there somewhere.

text: Menstruation is a normal aspect of most women's monthly routine. However most women buy sanitary pads or tampons constantly as it is the norm in western societies is to use single use items. This creates a huge amount of waste, roughly 200 000 tonnes each year as well as putting strain on women who are homeless or in poverty who cannot afford these items every month. I have recently discovered businesses that offer more sustainable options such as reusable sanitary pads and menstruation cups that can last for years as well as being biodegradable. I have taken the step to invest in some of these products in order to reduce the amount of waste that I produce as a result of my bodily functions.

The southernmost entrance contains easy access to the beach on Lower Trout Lake, entrance to the Bald Mountain South Unit Trails (which is the trail system of the two which allows for snowmobiling), Orchard Shelter Picnic Area, boat launch, North Trout Lake Picnic site and South Trout Lake picnic site.
The North entrance is off of Greenshield Road and is the access way to the Bald Mountain Shooting Range, North Unit Trails, links to the Paint Creek Trail system and more.
Despite being located in Metro Detroit, Bald Mountain is VERY rustic. Just 200 feet in the park and Bald Mountain almost feels like the Upper Peninsula. Many Oakland County and Metro Detroit residents are familiar with our local Metroparks. Bald Mountain, run by the DNR, is a departure from the HCMA Metroparks in terms of how they're run and even the different activities available. I would classify the Metroparks as the "weekend getaway" park – easily accessible and very convenient. Bald Mountain, on the other hand, is impressive in sheer size and more of a true State Park experience.
In addition to the lush nature surroundings, Bald Mountain has a beach located on the waters of North Trout Lake. The beach features a roped-off area for swimming but is NOT guarded by a lifeguard. The area is very scenic but the amenities are lacking. The showers and bathrooms are in rough shape and the playground equipment, while suitable, appears to pre-date the 1970s. There is no concession stand or attendant at the beach at Bald Mountain Recreation Area.

Rating: NR | Runtime: 75 minutes | Release Date: September 2015 (Canada)
Studio: Colonelle Films
Director(s): Geneviève Dulude-De Celles
Writer(s): Geneviève Dulude-De Celles
"It's hard to figure out exactly who you are and then it's even harder to actually become that person"
It would have been difficult for filmmaker Geneviève Dulude-De Celles to find a better metaphor in action than the one at the center of her documentary Bienvenue à F.L. [Welcome to F.L.]. Beyond the wonderfully spare and candid interviews with students lies a photography project known as "Inside Out" where classmates pair up to take each other's portrait for an art installation on their school's exterior façade. Here's an example of communication outside your social sphere (the pairings were picked at random), the notion that a school is nothing without those inhabiting it, and the reality that each year delivers a clean slate to start the cycle again. As one class graduates, another arrives with the same struggles, joy, frustration, and yearning to be as free as the last.
The result is a fly-on-the-wall glimpse beneath the curtain of adolescence as we remember it mixed with the new truths we couldn't imagine alongside old truths we may have been spared. There are girls who feel invisible opposite those willing to do whatever is necessary to be seen. There are boys who embrace the cliques formed by sports and extracurricular activities opposite those who fought through anguish and pain to simply find a way to exist. There's affluent kids looking down on those with more need. There are the intuitive kids who see past the surface of "honors" type classes, the specifications labeling them all "higher learners" and therefore morally strong and empathetic proving a lie. Kids are kids. Meanness, fear, jealousy, and hopelessness affect everyone.
But Dulude-De Celles doesn't seek to make this her thesis as much as expose its existence. Her film isn't focused on the concept of bullying or how victims and perpetrators evolve from those patterns (or don't). This reality is but one of many to sit alongside the electric excitement of prom, the routine masks worn to be immortalized in photo before evaporating the instant the flash dims, and the desire to find yourself before ever being able to actually be yourself. We see and hear about the complex compartmentalization childhood manifests—the fracturing of identity into disparate copies that allow you to not only excel within each sphere of being individually, but also survive the others without ridicule of one. We're con artists playing angles to get through the day.
Welcome to F.L. is uncensored (swearing) and captured with a vérité style of muted colors almost completely devoid of the director's interference save an oft question cajoling elaboration on specific revelations. We hear the rumble of percussion, (a staple of the school as students are reminded to bring something to pound on during an announcement); the uniform ticking of a clock to mark the boredom-inducing monotony of all too similar rooms and teaching styles as well as a timer counting towards escape; and the difference in tone and demeanor when someone speaks to the camera as opposed to conversations held within the camera's range. Introspection and mature aspirations—mixed with lofty career ambitions—dissolve to show the instinctual, filter-less words of a kid living in the moment.
The scene of prom proves the financial situation of this school is way too elaborate to come close to even my own middle class suburban experience, but the feelings remain universal nonetheless. Just because you have money doesn't mean you're happy. Just because you had a healthy and positive upbringing doesn't mean situations can't change to make your teenage years anything but. These are kids attempting to fit in at the same time as they try to standout—a conundrum that can make or break you. Some embrace their role as pariah while others retreat further away into isolation. Some reject it with such vehemence that they decide to conform while others use it as a platform to finally discover what truly forms their character beneath the superfluity.
Everyone interviewed is personable and authentic. Adults are barely seen besides as abstract, cropped figures if not earning a hug from their child. This is the students' world; we're visitors seeking to understand the trials and tribulations that have evolved and/or stayed the same. The film immortalizes a blip in their lifetimes—one that many still have yet to realize won't be the "greatest years of their lives." Yes this time period is formidable and serves as a means to find one's code of conduct, personality, and true self, but it's also in constant flux and as ready to conclude as it is to begin. And just like the bare walls underneath those portraits and empty classrooms awaiting summer's end, a fresh start with infinite potential remains ever-present.

- Guiding fly fishing is a profession and our Seattle fly fishing guide staff take this seriously. We work exceptionally hard to ensure our staff are heralded as respectful, knowledgeable and courteous pro's by our industry colleagues. Our goal is to provide the highest caliber of service mixed with an unparalleled level of expertise to help you enjoy your time on the water with us to the fullest.
- Experience
- Our staff boasts experience in both guiding and fly fishing all over the planet for nearly any species of fish you can conjure up. Collectively we pool these experiences, bringing up the level of knowledge among our staff enabling us to teach you the craft of fly fishing from nearly any perspective. The application of these experiences on our waters translate into you learning more about this sport and enabling you to take your new found skills and better use them on your home water. Our Seattle fly fishing guide staff and their experience will ensure you leave us a vastly improved fly angler.
- Knowledge
- All of our guides also teach all of our fly fishing classes from casting to in depth immersion schools. We feel this is important to allow us to help novice to expert anglers alike learn as much from us during the day as possible. This isn't just rowing a boat down the middle of the river. It is discussing equipment, tactics and approach, flies and skill sets for small creeks, tropical saltwater, tail-water trout and two handed casting for anadromous species. We guide more types of water in Washington than anyone. The knowledge demanded to successfully do so means you are in as capable of hands as you will find.
- Accolades
- The staff at EWA are constantly proving to be legitimate professionals within the industry. Among our staff we have several FFI Certified Casting Instructors, hold a variety of Ambassador/Advisory/Pro Staff positions from highly respected equipment manufacturers such as Thomas & Thomas, Winston, Scott, Patagonia, Costa, Airflo, Echo, Bauer, Rajeff Sports and Fisknat, 7 are widely published photographers as well 5 of them are published authors. We are all CPR/First Aid Certified, licensed and insured.
Dave McCoy — My dad introduced me to fishing as well as experiencing and enjoying life in the outdoors. Growing up in the Eugene area, my stomping grounds were and remain legendary namesakes; Crane Prairie and Hosmer Lakes, the Deschutes, McKenzie and Umpqua Rivers to name a few. I quickly discovered the thrill of having a fish on, but was always in awe of my surroundings. I have now been in the fly fishing industry in one form or another for 21 years now professionally and am relentlessly striving to surpass expectations everywhere I can. I am nothing in my pursuits without my wife Natalie and daughter Nessa who constantly remind me why I am so inspired, without saying a word. Patagonia, Thomas and Thomas, Nautilus, Costa and AMFF Ambassador, Rajeff Sports Pro Staff Member, Keepemwet Fishing Ambassador and FFI Certified Casting Instructor, Swiftwater Rescue Technician, Photographer
Speaking Points – Global Travel, Retail, PNW Conservation, Spey Casting, Washington/Oregon Fly Fishing
Jason Rolfe — I can still remember the visceral jolt of adrenaline that shot through my body the first time I ever hooked a salmon. It was on the Nisqually river in South Puget Sound near where I grew up, and though I lost the fish at the bank that thrill never left me. After a long hiatus from fishing, I took up fly fishing soon after college and began the long journey from dabbler to obsessive. I borrowed my girlfriend's car to go fishing in the Cascades for rainbows and coastal Cutthroats, and rode my bike to the beaches of Seattle to chase sea-runs. When I moved to eastern Europe for a couple of years, I brought my rod and reel with me and managed to fly fish in Ukraine, Romania, Croatia, and Bosnia/Herzegovina. After several years spent working in the education field, I finally decided it was time to take a break from the non-profit grind. These days, I swing for steelhead and chase sea-run cutties every chance I get; Editor of The Flyfish Journal and promote other fly fishing writers and artists I admire through Syzygy Fly Fishing.
Capt. Caldwell "Rohr" Rohrbach — Fly fishing, although I did not always know it, has been in my blood and is my true calling. I grew up with a rod in my hand, exploring the salt or rivers with several generations of men in my family. However, in the recent past, lacrosse was my obsession which opened doors to college and beyond. Even so, the water was calling and I found myself drawn to any species I could find at my current locale. I have fished the waters from coast to coast but always knew that Washington's plethora of species, techniques, and environments created a unique opportunity. I find most joy, standing knee deep on a rocky beach with the tide pushing cool water through my legs, looking out to passing whales, seals, and osprey, while targeting SRC and salmon. I am an avid fly tier and celebrate the success in cracking the code of a new beach, river, or species. Beyond the waters in Washington, I feel just as at home on the warm salt water flats and find the pressure addictive! If I am not targeting fish, you will find me kite-boarding local beaches, surfing the Strait, or paddle boarding local lakes. By developing my photography skills, I also find pleasure watching others experience the joys of the outdoors through the lens of my camera. As a former college lacrosse coach, teaching is my passion whether that means tweaking your cast, or helping you approach a new body of water confidently, I am here to help in whatever way possible. Swiftwater Rescue Technician, GLoomis Pro Staff
Zach Rhoades — Originally from the Central Coast of California, I spent most of my free time chasing waves up and down the coast. When I moved to Washington, my attentions were quickly focused to the wilds of the North Cascades, Mt. Rainier, and the Olympic Peninsula. On countless trips to ski, climb, backpack and surf, I began paying more attention to the beautiful creeks and big rivers I passed along the way. Unwilling to drive or hike past these familiar waters anymore, I picked up a fly rod, and never looked back. Fly-fishing for me is a simply a pure, artistic, and beautiful way to interact with nature; the awe-inspiring wild. I love getting to those "hard to reach" places both on guided trips and my own days on the water. Whether it's by horseback, drift boat, or good ol' felt soles, let's get out!
Matthew Dahl — From about the age of two I was holding a fishing rod in my hand. My parents raised both my brother and I fishing all around Minnesota and southern Ontario for walleye, pike and everything in-between. During the winters when we wanted a break from ice fishing, we would head down to Florida to fish off the keys. Although, when I was younger I think I spent more time in the bait tank swimming around with the bait… I ended up in Washington after Joining the Military after High School and was stationed at Ft. Lewis near Lakewood, WA. In 2010 I deployed to Afghanistan in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, training local Afghan Military and Police around the district of Kandahar. Towards the end of the deployment I was injured during a walking patrol from an IED. I was awarded the Purple Heart for the injuries I sustained. After returning, I was stationed in South Korea where I fell down the deep, dark hole known as fly fishing. My first serious experience fly fishing was when I got the chance to fish the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) on the border of North and South Korea. After my time in the service I returned to Washington. I then partnered with Soul River Inc. out of Portland, OR where I was a board member and volunteer/guide for their program taking inner city youth and Veterans on environmentally focused expeditions around the United States and the Arctic Circle. I stepped down after about 3 years to start a family with my wife. When I am not busy being a dad, you can find me on the water teaching others what this great state has to offer!
Dale Booher — I was raised outside. Growing up on a farm in Ohio taught me many things, but most importantly to love and respect the environment we live in. Fishing for bass in our lake was a way to bond with my dad, but my mom was the first person to introduce me to fly fishing. When that happened, it was game over for everything else. Transitioning from a serious tennis career, the fly rod replaced the racquet as an extension of my arm. It became an obsession, an outlet, and a passion. For me fly fishing is the holy grail of experiencing the outdoors. Standing in moving water and using our knowledge to find (or be bested) by some of the most pure and important species in the world is the most progressive, satisfying thing I can find to do. Being able to experience the same feeling with like-minded anglers on the water, coupled with a camera, lightens my being. A student of the sport, I am constantly learning and keen to the nuances of water and fish behavior. It might be the best feeling in the world thinking "I know there's a fish right there and I know its going to take this fly…" and actually being right! Having fun on the water and learning comes first, no matter where it takes me. Most of the time I get lost, literally, but I always come back with stories! Washington presents constant challenges and ever-changing fisheries, but that is the best part, it builds character. We must remember that it is an honor to be able to connect with fish on the fly, and that they do for us much more than we do for them. My favorite days are spent exploring new water with my partner Hannah and our two Catahoula Leopard Dogs, Lupin and Cae-Du.
Nolan Myers – Born and raised in Puyallup WA with a fishing pole in my hand, my father can definitely be blamed for my fishing obsession. We spent my childhood chasing the Chinook and Silver Salmon that run though the rivers of our amazing state. 3am alarms clocks, driving on empty freeways in total darkness, a quick stop for a breakfast sandwich, stomachs growling because someone didn't pack the lunch cooler, dad finally reeling up his line well past last light. From dawn til' dusk we would fish with relentless patience. Some of my favorite early memories were from the banks of a river. Fast forward to today, obsession and patience still pumping through my veins, you will find me spey rod in hand, swinging for steelhead up north and west on the peninsula. Tradition at my core, I love tying classic steelhead flies and taunting fish with them. I am passionate about sharing my experience through guiding, casting instruction, and cultivating a love for fly fishing and conservation in others. Along with fly fishing, I love spending time with my wife, backpacking, traveling, and advocating for clean water and fish habitat.
Kristen Bufe — Hey all! I'm the self proclaimed dry-fly-diva of the Midwest, and I joined Emerald Water Anglers to build the women's fly fishing community through guided trips, retreats, classes, and schools. With 10 years of experience on the water, I enjoy exploring Washington's fisheries, tying flies, learning to row, and meeting new fishing pals. Come say hello!
Kiki Contreras — A fifth-generation Pacific Northwesterner and fourth-generation fly angler, I grew up waist-deep in the cold, swift waters of Cascade Mountain creeks. It's telling that my earliest fly fishing memories are not of fish caught, but of encounters with silent, watchful beavers and nests of frenetic American dipper hatchlings, of hands stained by riverside snacks of wild blackberries and thimbleberries, of tracing the lazy descent of sun-lit cottonwood leaves, and of the unyielding rush of water against my hole-in-the-knee blue jeans. For me, fly fishing is a window into a wilder, simpler world where I'm just a guest, an observer. I'm grateful for every opportunity I get to visit. Introducing others, particularly women and children, to that world has brought me great joy over the last several years.
Capt. Jeff Crosetto — My dad introduced me to rivers and fishing at the tender age of four loading me into a drift boat on the Klickitat in the pursuit of steelhead. I was introduced to fly fishing at the age of nineteen when a friend took me to Silver Creek Idaho and put a fly rod in my hand. That was the beginning of the obsession and since then I have have roamed the world chasing any species of fish that will chase a fly. Fly Fishing has become more to me than just hooking a fish, it's about spending time with friends both new and old, visiting new destinations around the world, and getting off the beaten path so see the beautiful places that many people miss. When I'm not on the water you can find me spending time with my fiancé Karen and our two dogs Marcel and George.
Johnny Kellogg — I grew up on the Salish Sea, spending my time between Seattle and the Gulf Islands in British Columbia. Raised with a fly rod in hand, I've spent my entire life fly fishing and adventuring around the Pacific Northwest's mountains, rivers and beaches. As early as I can remember my dad would load me up in our 18ft center console and we would hunt Puget Sound in search of Sea Run Cutthroat and Coho Salmon. I spent high school summers studying flats ecology on Eleuthera in the Bahamas, specifically the effects of light pollution on Bonefish in Exuma Sound, where I fell in love with the pursuit of saltwater game fish. After graduating high school, I traded the ocean for the mountains to attend Colorado College where I am currently a sophomore. I am living the dream in Colorado, chasing trout and powder while exploring the Rocky Mountains.
Bill Marts – My adult business and hobby-life of 50+ years has revolved around fly fishing and not much else. It has included teaching – fly tying, fly casting, fly fishing ( three years as the head of Sage Fly Fishing Schools), and rod building. I have owned 2 flyshops and worked for two others. My last job was as the Saltwater Travel Expert at The Fly Shop in California, which fished me all over the world but mostly saltwater flats. I have managed to catch, on a fly, everything from catfish to billfish and steelhead to bones and GTs. What has this got to do with Carp guiding? My love for sight fishing in skinny waters is what makes me appreciate carp fishing in the shallow waters of Eastern and Central Washington. I fish for carp the exact way I fish for bonefish: I sight fish for them. Spot the fish. Stalk the fish. Cast to the fish. Hook the fish!!!! I look forward to guiding again for these special fish.
Mark Freda — I was born and raised in Barrington, IL and have fished since I could hold a rod, but was not exposed to the gentle art of fly-fishing until the age of fifteen. The Midwest does not offer many opportunities to fly-fish for cold water species so I was introduced to Colorado waters by my father. My first experience fly-fishing for trout was a three day float down the Gunnison River in Colorado…this was all I needed! From that trip forward I vowed to spend my life learning everything fly-fishing could offer. Over the past 19 years I have traveled from Colorado to Alaska, Oregon to Mexico and literally everywhere in between in search of new rivers, new people and new experiences. It has never really been about catching fish though that is nice as well. Now residing in Seattle, WA, this state of mind drives why I guide, to share all I know about this amazing sport with hopes I can help other appreciate it as well.

In 2017, more than 700,000 foreign nationals who were supposed to be in the country for a temporary time only, refused to leave and overstayed their visas, the Department of Homeland Security reported.
That means fully 40 percent of those entering the United States on a visa overstayed.
And this country doesn't have a border control problem, according to those in the Democratic Party?
More on this from Fox News:
More than 700,000 foreign nationals who were supposed to leave the U.S. in recent months overstayed their visas, the Department of Homeland Security said in a report released Tuesday.
The federal department determined that 701,900 people who entered the country through an air or sea Port of Entry overstayed their visas between October 2016 and September 2017.
Overall, an estimated 40 percent of the roughly 11 million people in the country illegally stayed past their visas.
The total number of overstays is much larger but has not been quantified because it doesn't include how many people arrive by land.
The 2016 overstay report — the first one published by Homeland Security in at least two decades — stated 739,478 people who entered the U.S. via plane or ship overstayed their visas between October 2015 and September 2016.
Overstays accounted for 1.3 percent of the 52.7 million visitors who arrived by plane or ship during the latest period, an improvement from the overstay rate of 1.5 percent a year earlier.
Canada again occupied the top slot for overstays, followed by Mexico, Venezuela, the United Kingdom and Colombia. Nigeria, China, France, Spain and Germany rounded out the top 10.
The overstay rate was much higher among students and foreign exchange visitors, with 4.2 percent staying after their visas expired, a decline from 5.5 percent the previous year.

On one hand, he's the companion of a young woman in an apartment building named Kujirai, who feeds him (when she hasn't gambled away her meager manga-assistant's paycheck) and spends time with him in her apartment. On the other hand, he wants to keep his street cred as a stray cat and spends a good amount of time hanging out with the other strays, trying to steal food out of trash cans and rumbling with the cats from the next town over.


text: The Internal Revenue Service has established efforts to implement requirements for mandatory testing and continuing education of all tax preparers in the United States. The rules were part of the IRS's first attempt at regulation of the tax return preparation industry through the Registered Tax Return Preparers program. A March 27th federal appeals court ruling upheld an injunction filed by a lower court against the implantation of the new standards. The Institute for Justice, on behalf of professionals in the field, successfully contested the program on the grounds that the standards unduly affect the rights of tax preparers to earn a living and that the IRS does not have the authority to implement mandatory regulation of the profession.

NARS Orgasm is one of the most arousing names in makeup history. It is iconic. A blush as tantalising and bold in colour as it is in its name; the Makeup Artist's worst kept beauty secret. NARS themselves describe it as 'the ultimate authority in blush' and one would be inclined to agree.
To this day, every year NARS sells as many Orgasms to equal the weight of a Lamborghini – that's a whole lot of blush.
The History of Nars
Created in 1994 by French Makeup Artist François Nars, NARS is a colour cosmetics and skincare brand priding themselves on pushing boundaries.
A highly talented graduate of Paris' Carita Makeup School, François's fellow alumni include internationally renowned beauty entrepreneur Laura Mercier. However, Whilst Laura went down the route of creating products to enhance your natural complexion, François decided to champion the unconventional.
Exposed to fashion from an early age by his mother, Claudette Nars, his Makeup Brand quickly gained a cult following for it's edgy colours, sleek packaging and provocative names. As a child, François drew the faces of women from French Vogue, European Cinema and Classic Hollywood, believing that fashion is not just about clothing, but about a complete, all-over 'look'.
This has gone on to influence NARS to this day, from their inclusion of diverse models within advertising campaigns, to legendary celebrity clients such as supermodels Linda Evangelista and Naomi Campbell.
Today, NARS stands as a modern icon with customers and staff alike. Figureheads from their team such as NARS Lead UK and Europe Stylist Anna Priadka and NARS Boutique Stylist Ana Albiol, are still leading the way for this colour cosmetics and skincare brand.
They continue to push NARS to the forefront of Makeup Artistry and Fashion Weeks, whilst still taking mixed inspiration from Hollywood stars – Ana Albiol told us that her beauty icons include 'Audrey Hepburn and Twiggy of course', but Adriana Lima is 'her favourite model at the moment'.
Creation of Orgasm
Created just 5 years after François founded the brand, 'Orgasm' blush was born. A cult classic, François himself admits he did not imagine one product could be so influential. Sure, to the undiscerning eye Orgasm might just look like a pretty pink blusher, but it is so much more than that. It's symbolic of NARS' ability to not only push boundaries, but create new ones.
So, what makes it so special?
Firstly, the name. Whilst at first it might seem like the word 'Orgasm' was used to simply catch the eye (and that it does) as a quirky marketing gimmick, the name actually creates an experience for the wearer synonymous with a little shock value.
As a teenager, I remember whispering the name to friends in disbelief over a stifled giggle and now, as a beauty connoisseur in my mid 20's, I now wear it as a cheeky secret to myself. Sure, my colleagues probably don't notice anything extraordinary about my complexion, but I know I'm wearing Orgasm; a product which is as sophisticated and empowering as it is provocative.
Secondly, the colour. NARS told Interview Magazine:
I designed this colour like I would have designed any other colour. I swear I never thought this was a special colour.
But a special colour it is! Orgasm is a miracle blush that somehow suits everyone. Irrespective of skin tones and ages, the rosy pink colour with warm and cold undertones and gold speckles creates a blush/highlighter hybrid that prides itself on enhancing any complexion.
Although the universal shade inevitably makes it appeal to so many different customers, François attributes it's ever-growing success equally to it's name. As reported in Byrdie, Nars confessed 'without such an audacious name, I don't know if it would have become so iconic.
How to Wear
NARS Orgasm was created to replicate the natural flush of your cheeks after well, you can probably guess. It is totally build-able, so you can pop on a little or a lot, depending on just how daring you want to be.
For application, François recommends following this natural flush of colour to the face, blending Orgasm not just on the apples of the cheeks, but along the jawbone and on the tip of the nose to create an all-over, more natural looking hint of colour. As he says on the Nars website,
No one blushes only on their cheeks.
What's next for Orgasm?
Following the success of the blush, NARS have expanded the Orgasm Collection to include products such as, Orgasm coloured Illuminators, Lip Glosses and highlighter sticks The Multiples, which are also designed to replicate that certain glow.
Orgasm has already won NARS a whole host of critically acclaimed beauty awards such as InStyle Magazine's Best Powder Blush Award 2008-2012 and holds many high profile celebrities in its fan base including Gwyneth Paltrow, Mila Kunis and Jennifer Lopez.
However, with Orgasm the best is still yet to come and it continues to win adoration and repeat customers from women worldwide. In fact, when we hosted our Lookfantastic x NARs launch party for the re-introduction of NARS onsite, 'Orgasm' was the buzz word of the night and the product most Beauty Influencers associated with the brand.
Although NARs have products similar to Orgasm by way of hybrid blushes with risqué names such as Deep Throat and Seduction, none have even come close to the success of their best seller.
In fact, Jake Broullard, NARS' Lead Makeup Stylist captures the Orgasm phenomena perfectly by simply stating, 'everyone wants an Orgasm'.

You know that all drugs have side effects. I don't need to tell you that. But did you know that one of the most prescribed medications in the US increases your risk for celiac disease?
Proton pump inhibitors or H2 blockers are prescribed for acid reflux, heartburn and ulcers (both of the stomach and the intestine). The common names that you may be familiar with are: Nexium (Esomeprazole), Prevacid (Lansoprazole), Prilosec (Omeprazole), Aciphex (Rabeprazole) and Protonix (Pantoprazole). These drugs are some of the most common drugs prescribed in the US. In 2009 they were the third-largest class of drug sold with $13.6 billion in sales, representing more than 110 million prescriptions.
And They Seem to be Over Prescribed…. by Alot!
Dr Mitchell Katz, director of the San Francisco Department of Public Health estimates that a full 60-70% of the patients taking proton pump inhibitors don't actually need them and should try lifestyle changes instead. I couldn't agree more.
Handling heartburn and acid reflux are symptoms that we find handle readily, easily and quite quickly when you institute the proper lifestyle changes. And those changes are typically diet related. Often during the first week or two of care, patients are positively amazed to find their chronic heartburn or acid reflux gone. And all they've changed is their diet.
There is a Better Solution – a Natural Solution
Why then do we over-medicate millions when a simple dietary change would do? I think the biggest problem lies in the way we 'do' healthcare in this country. People expect a pill; they anticipate receiving a drug, and they don't particularly want to have to change their diet. Does anyone want to change their diet, really? We like what we like and eat what we like and we're not keen on someone asking us to change.
Believe me, as a clinical nutritionist who's been doing this for over two decades, I truly understand. How many hundreds, thousands of patients have I had to convince of the benefit of at least trying a hypoallergenic diet. Yes, there have been many and I have had lots of practice at convincing people. It's not hard for me because I know what awaits them on the other side – better health! So I hold their hands through the changes and struggles and we are both delighted at the results.
The problem with mainstream medicine is that isn't part of their vocabulary – dietary change to prevent the use of medication just isn't what they do – to their patient's detriment in my opinion.
An Increased Risk of Celiac Disease is One Side Effect
A recent study (September 2013) out of Sweden published in Digestive and Liver Disease revealed that patients on these medications had a higher risk of developing celiac disease than those individuals who didn't take these drugs. Why?
It's not a particular stretch when you appreciate one of the well known side effects of the drugs, and that is a lowering of the immune system resulting in an increased incidence of bacterial infection along with bone fractures. This data was disclosed in a study published in the Archives of Internal Medicine.
An Increased Risk of Serious Bacterial Infection is Another Side Effect
Two studies revealed that a particularly dangerous bacterium, Clostridium difficile, often called C. diff, occurs at an increased rate in those taking these drugs. C. diff can be an extremely difficult to treat and dangerous bacterial infection, occurring in the intestines. What then is the association between this infection and proton pump inhibitors? Very simply, the natural acid produced in the stomach tends to kill the bacteria. When that acid is being suppressed by the drug, the bacteria go on to infect the intestine, sometimes with life threatening consequences. It is the likely the mechanism of lowering the immune system of the gut that also increases the incidence of celiac disease.
Recall that we now understand the initiation of celiac disease requires 3 factors:
• the presence of the genes
• the ingestion of gluten
• an unhealthy gut – it is here that these drugs cause their negative influence.
The takeaway is to certainly avoid any medication when at all possible, as they all have side effects. But especially when it comes to these drugs that according to experts are extremely over-prescribed, try to find a doctor who can work with you to get to the true root cause of your symptoms and, if possible, utilize a natural approach to address them. I hope you found this helpful.

Newmarket Town 2 Kirkley & Pakefield 3: Late goal seals dramatic win for Royals
PUBLISHED: 08:27 01 March 2019
An unchanged Kirkley & Pakefield side struck late to record an excellent 3-2 win at Newmarket on Tuesday evening.
The match started at a brisk pace on the 3G surface and the opening goal came with the home team's first real attempt on 12 minutes when a low cross from Lewis Whitehead caught the defence in a mix-up and the ball fell to Samuel Gomarsall to tap in.
The Royals were dealt a blow on 15 minutes when an injury forced Matty Brown to leave the field to be replaced by Kaiden Goldspink.
It wasn't until the 36th minute the Royals came to life with Goldspink having their first shot on goal from 20 yards. This was followed by a great shot from Cameron Russell that saw keeper Alex Archer pull off a fantastic one-handed save. Hammond then headed over from the corner before another Lopez corner on 41 minutes found Kaiden Goldspink who hammered the ball home from 12 yards to bring the scores level.
Five minutes into the second half Haverson made a good run from his own half into the opposition area only for the keeper to block his effort. Then a well-struck shot from 30 yards by the Jockeys' Max Melanson was well saved by Adam Rix in the away goal.
On 62 minutes a powerful header by Whitehead was well saved by Rix and two minutes later Jack Herbert, once again playing up front, broke clear and ran towards goal before calmly shooting past the keeper to put the Royals 2-1 in front.
A superb shot from Russell then hit the bar with Herbert heading the rebound over. Herbert had a good chance to increase the lead on 75 minutes but after a good build-up by Soares and French he shot just over.
In the 79th minute the home team had a freekick some 30 yards out and Michael Shinn fired the ball into the far post for Ben Robinson to head in and bring the scores level once again.
On 85 minutes Rix again saved well Melanson and also stopped the rebound and three minutes later Russell was brought down on the edge of the area at the other end. Lopez's free-kick was saved and put out for a corner and from this Herbert headed goalwards, with Cameron Russell on hand to put the ball into the net for a last minute winner and three very welcome points.
Kirkley & Pakefield: A Rix, C Bell, G Soares, L Hammond, J Herbert (capt), O French, H Creamer, M Lopez, C Russell, M Brown (K Goldspink 15), J Haverson. Subs unused: G Williams, M Willis.
Histon 2
Kirkley & Pakefield 2
Kirkley & Pakefield picked up a well deserved point on Saturday after twice coming from behind against the league leaders.
Already without a number of first team players the Royals had another casualty on the morning of the match with Lee Will going down sick but they were fortunate enough to see captain Jack Herbert arrive back from his school's skiing holiday in time to play as an emergency striker.
The Royals came under pressure from the start with keeper Adam Rix facing the strong sunlight punching out well.
On 17 minutes the Royals' best attack to date saw Matty Brown and Jordan Haverson break and combine well, with the latter shooting just wide.
Histon continued to press with Rix saving well and an effort then hitting the woodwork before being blocked.
On 36 minutes the ball was booted downfield with Histon striker Dan Brown beating the advancing Rix with a looping header to put the home team one up.
The second half saw Histon miss a good early chance to increase their lead and then a fine pass by Haverson found Brown whose good strike was well saved. From the corner Owen French put in a powerful header that was saved on the line.
The Royals were pressing hard for the equaliser and on 67 minutes it paid off when Brown shot in well from inside the area. However it took just six minutes before Histon were back in the lead when, from a long throw, substitute James Chivers headed in, giving the keeper no chance.
On 83 minutes a long throw from Brown saw a French header hit the bar, with Herbert following up to head in to bring the scores back level at 2-2.
The Royals continued to press with a Hammond shot going just wide while in one of a number of goalmouth scrambles a Haverson centre was put out for a corner which saw Hammond head over.
With the game drawing to a close Bell gave away a free-kick on the edge of the area but it was blasted over to ensure the Royals got a hard-earned point from a good display that saw the unusual back four of Bell, French, Creamer and Soares perform admirably.
Kirkley & Pakefield: A Rix, C Bell, G Soares, L Hammond, J Herbert (capt), O French, H Creamer, M Lopez, C Russell, M Brown, J Haverson. Subs unused: K Collyer, J Spooner, J Gill.
This Saturday Kirkley & Pakefield travel the short distance to Plantation Park, Blofield to play Norwich United (3pm).

On October 16, 2009, I had the very great privilege to listen to Dr. David Suzuki lecture at the Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto on Force of Nature. His message was very compelling.
I have been writing and speaking to urge people to make a difference in choosing green interior design. I believe that our small actions do make a difference and we should continue look for more opportunities to make our actions count. David told me to "do what you can do" when I briefly met him as he signed my copy of his autobiography.
Dr. Suzuki's message was that individual actions only buy us some limited time. We need to tackle these issues on a global scale and we need to act now! He urged the audience to demand that our political leaders take action on the crucial climate change summit in Copenhagen in December. Only our leaders can create the climate so that both "economy" and "ecology" can thrive!
Many people emailed to say that they went onto the David Suzuki Foundation website to sign the petition to ask the government to take action at the Climate Change Summit. It does not matter which political party is in power when we consider our health and the health of our planet. Dr. Suzuki says that we are air and air is us, and that all of our atoms are mingled with all of the atoms of air and of everyone who lives and who has ever lived on earth! There is no separation.
