Can we take
your order ...

Many people include fish as part of their diet. In your opinion is it better to eat fish caught commercially (possibly by dragging), fish grown through aquaculture, or to eliminate fish from your diet?
Plusieurs personnes ajoutent du poisson dans leur régime alimentaire. Selon vous, vaut-il mieux manger du poisson provenant de la pęche commerciale (peut-ętre męme du poisson recueilli par les chalutiers dragueurs), du poisson provenant de l'aquaculture, ou bien tout simplement élliminer le poisson de votre régime alimentaire ?

Being a proud supporter of the farming industry, I still wonder how many of the people
submitting articles have been to a fish farm? As well as seen the strict government, global and company policies that the farms are regulated and setting standards in all resources. The fishing industry is on it's way out and how else can we get the salmon that the growing world conceives. Between Mad cow, Tobacco, chicken influenza and salmon farming, which one is doing the least damage to humans? I shouldn't have to say more!!! Choose farm fresh pacific salmon!!

We own 310 acres at the head of a watershed, and will be establishing ponds in several of
our "hollows". I think we don't have to worry about various pollutants as the ponds will be spring, rain,
and runoff fed. Our property is 85% forested, and we are wanting to raise trout in a "natural way", and are
willing to share with our neighbors (i.e. raccoon, heron, hawk, and the like). We hope to promote more
wildlife in our area, and if there are a few fish to sell afterward then we will have accomplished our task.
I would appreciate feedback regarding this new venture. Has anyone out there done the same? Do you think
people would be interested in purchasing our fish raised the natural way? Your thoughts?

I have read a lot of responses, which tend to be helpful and insightful, yet one main point is left out: there are
commercial fisheries in the world that have a high rating given out by the WWF. Not all fisheries in the world destroy and/or deplete
wildlife sanctuaries. The Alaskan Salmon fishery has the highest rating from the WWF. I also agree that farmed is an absolute NO NO. Its
full effects are not known, both on our bodies and on our planet, and until we can start to understand those effects (which look awful bad),
we cannot support the industry. Look what has happened to the cattle industry: hormones, antibiotics, mad cow disease. Please eat

At this point and time with all the fisheries in bad shape, I would have to contend that eliminating (and I love fish!) fish would be the responsible thing to do.
I do not feel the GMO fish are a viable alternative at this point and time.

I have been pondering this question for over a decade, and I have no desire to eat farmed
fish because of an ethic I adhere to in regard to any farming of animals which could do just as well in the wild....I believe that game farming, aquaculture, etc. are very dangerous practices and indeed threaten wildlife....through disease, etc. It is a very complex issue and I realize translates itself into the overcrowding and inhumane conditions now facing all our farmed animals...But I still believe if one must eat fish, then wild fish are better. Certainly there is the economic issue and the dragging concern but generally speaking, I cannot condone farming of fish or any other species normally found in the wild. Only recently have I even been confronted with farmed fish, but I can assure you they are making a big impact and the consumer is generally uninformed and willing to purchase...it is interesting that fish have made a bigger impact on consumers than other farmed meat, such as emu or red deer but I believe that is because there has been less opposition by environmentalists and more support from government....disgraceful, in my opinion....But we can't all fight all the battles everywhere....

I agree that it's a matter of risk assessment. Do the benefits of eating farmed or

wild fish, but the reality is that it is not easy to find in Fredericton.

Since fish are so high on the food chain and accumulate so many toxins that we throw into
the wild, I no longer eat wild fish. They are also overfished. As well, I wouldn't eat farmed fish unless I knew that it was raised in an environmentally friendly, sustainable manner. I don't know of any store in my town that can guarantee that about their fish. Hence, I no longer eat fish.

I have been treating Wastewater with Biotechnology
since 1990. I always had a passion for
water and since the age of about ten, I always had more questions than answers. The one thing I learn over the years is Where does water come from? We do not get new water EVERYTIME we get rain; we use the same water. In the environmental world the final answer is the answer that is answered by the last WHY. About a month ago I lost my sister in law. She was THE person that was eating responsibly right in all aspect. She died of cancer. WHY.
Food for thought.

Eat fresh caught or reared shellfish or fish
daily. Preferably raw if still alive! Fish are a great source of heme iron
enhancing learning ability and stamina and shellfish are a great source of
zinc to help protect from upper respiratory infections. Both are great
sources of unsaturated fatty acids, primary constituents of our cell walls.
The nutritional benefits of regular fresh locally caught or reared shellfish
and fish consumption out weigh the potential negatives.

Well this is a hard issue to think about we all know
that forest fires and illegal
poaching are a main factor in animal depletion. in zoos they are treated "unfairly" in different
ways so animals should be in zoos for their own well being until we as people and learn to live with them in our environment.

I've heard nothing but bad things about farmed fish. Since it is hard to know sometimes where the fish comes from, I eliminated it from my diet altogether.
Now, I am fortunate to live very close to a source of fresh, wild fish, from a virtually pristine
lake (Great Slave). I am finally able to eat fish again without harming my conscience. Even then, one must pay attention of course to the source and type of fishing.

I have wild salmon flown from Arkansas rather than eat farm raised salmon. Also,
every time I pass a fish counter in a grocery I pointedly ask if there are any wild salmon which usually gives me the opportunity to explain the truth about farm fish!

While a rod and line won't meet the world's fish
needs, there is nothing environmentally wrong as such, providing that
line/hooks/weights etc aren't left behind, so, fish can still remain on the
menu for some. However, I'm old fashioned and will stick with commercial
fishing, not fish farming. As I'm not a salmon addict, nor trout, I guess my
choices are still out there, somewhere, free, or just about to be caught!

Well Fish is a major source of protein to the human and animal body, while supplying a number of vitamins and minerals, but sadly not as much as for
vegetables and fruits.
If we eliminate fish for our food sources, we will have a devastating result due to the lack of protein in our diet. However, the choice of individuals on food preference such as fish is on texture, color and taste, whether deep fried, boiled, of oven baked.
I disagree with the notion of deleting fish from any diet because of the above factors.

It is clear that aquaculture is not the salvation for wild stocks that we once hoped for. In the case of inner Bay of Fundy rivers, the disappearance of wild salmon is linked to the rapid growth of fish farms along the migratory path. Problems include concentrations of predators, of disease, and genetic degradation due to mixing of wild stock with farm escapees.
There are also concerns regarding the hormones added to the feed of the farmed fish and environmental problems associated with the farms.
All of this leads me toward favouring other means of catching fish and away from aquaculture. However we then need to focus on other problems. Overfishing is an international concern that keeps getting worse. Gill nets, including drift nets, and bottom dragging all need to be eliminated in favour of trapping and other selective harvesting methods.
If we are to continue to rely on farmed fish, then some big changes are needed. The pens need to be off the migratory path of wild fish; better yet is to place them on land where they can be properly managed. Consumers need to pay a little more for the product.
Thanks for the invitation to speak.

The obvious environmental choice is to remove fish from your diet. If we are committed to
environmentalism, discontinuing the eating of non-human animals (and their derivatives such as
milk), makes the most sense. It goes without saying that this is also good for non-human
animals. And yes, non-human animals are more than able to maintain and monitor their own
populations. Too bad that humans were not able to do so (over six billion and counting).

I think farmed fish (aquaculture) has great potential. But before everyone
jumps on the bandwagon, thorough environmental impact studies need to be done on EACH type of aquacultural process and on each of the potential
sites. Over farming could be as big, if not a bigger problem than over fishing.
Ben Richards

Fish has been an essential part of mans diet. Industrialization
of the fish industry has unfortunately over fished the oceans and seas. Net and ship sizes have increased. Leaving stocks
dwelling close to collapse. It would seem however that fish farming would be the answer, but the
environmental impact of fish farming is high, also the genetic effect on natural fish stocks.
Could the answer be as drastic as that mentioned by the EU, to ban all Cod fishing. So that
stocks recover.

Hello Forum!
About 8 years ago when I became pregnant, I was informed by various childbirth materials to avoid the consumption of fish. The reasons varied but were common in that the reasons were health based. Whether it was because of the high levels of mercury, or a number of other toxics it became clear to me that the health risks far outweighed any benefits that I might get from consuming fish. Bottom feeders like lobster, shrimp and crab are included in the health warnings for pregnant women and children. Now, with the obvious environmental degradation that accompanies farmed fish and sea fishing techniques, one has to wonder if anyone should consume fish ever again. I for one and my children for two more shall not. I am also a childbirth educator and include all fish products on a list of other unhealthy food choices to avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Thank You

We have almost eliminated fish from our diet for those reasons; either you eat something that is caught unsustainably, or you eat something that is grown unsustainably. Also, farmed fish is vastly overrated--the Omega 3-5-9- content of fish fed an unnatural diet is very scewed, not at all as healthy as wild fish; there is almost no reason to eat it at all, since the kinds of fat on that kind of fish are not natural either.

Le poisson est l'animal le plus sain pour la santé. Cependant, il a été pęché si intensément qu'il serait un sacrilčge de continuer de le cueillir en mer, męme en quantité réduite. Il faudrait d'abord assurer la survie de toutes les espčces pélagiques, puis aprčs, et aprčs seulement, recommencer une pęche extręmement contrôlée.
Pour ce qui est des poissons d'aqua-culture, ils sont tellement entassés qu'ils sont sujets aux maladies. On les gave alors sans-doute d'anti-biotiques qui passent ensuite dans notre organisme. Ces poissons ont été sélectionnés selon des critčres précis et ont un bagage génétique peu varié. Lorsqu'ils sont atteints de maladie et qu'il arrive ŕ certains d'entre eux de s'échapper, ils vont ainsi infectés les poissons sauvages. Sans compter que des poissons originaires de d'autres régions peuvent eux aussi se mélanger avec des poissons autochtones s'ils s'évadaient eux aussi.
Il faut mentionner également que les poissons d'eau douce provenant de l'aqua-culture nécessitent une quantité incroyable d'eau potable, richesse qui doit ętre préservée.
Le poisson, non merci. Ainsi que toutes les autres viandes provenant de l'industrie alimentaire. Il y a trop de possibilité d'ętre infectés par des maladies.
Vaut mieux opter pour le végétarisme !

The best choice would be to eat fish that is caught sustainably. Many
groundfish, such as cod, haddock and halibut can be caught through hook and line. This not only
reduces bycatch of other species, and does limited damage to the sea floor, but also selects for
larger fish. Aquaculture fish is problematic for several reasons - high levels of toxins (BC
salmon have been found to contain PCBs), habitat destruction (anoxia of the benthos), nutrient
enrightment of surrounding waters (leads to blooms of algae), not to mention
antibiotics and trace metals that are given to the salmon and eventually get into the
environment and into people. Through consumer awareness and an increase in the amount of hook and line caught fish -
we can sustain our coastal communities and continue to eat fish.
Next time you go to the grocery store, ask them if they have hook and line fish. Get all your
friends to ask too. If there is a demand for this, similar to that for organic vegetables, the
market will deliver.
Janice Harvey

Interesting question. I wonder, however, how much people know about
fish farming? For example, it is really easy
to know what fish are caught by dragging and what aren't, if you have any idea at all about the fishing industry. And there may be some farmed fish
that aren't so bad in terms of environmental impact. You need to be an informed consumer to be able to answer the question.
Not mentioned is also the issue of mercury and other -persistent organic contaminants in certain wild (ie. tuna) as well as farmed fish. So dragging isn't the only issue to be concerned about. These issues are complex.

Having done a lot of research on Farmed Atlantic Salmon and their
effects on their wild counterparts - Farmed fish are a definite NO NO, especially when you know what the growers are feeding them. Dragging is
also an environmentally damaging practice so I guess there is only one choice, Give up Fish !!

Subjectivity, the Unconscious and Consumerism - Consuming Dreams
Subjectivity, the Unconscious and Consumerism is a unique and imaginative psycho-sociological exploration of how postmodern, contemporary consumerism invades and colonises human subjectivity. Investigating especially consumerism's unconscious aspects such as desires, imagination, and fantasy, it engages with an extensive analysis of dreams. The author frames these using a synthesis of Jungian psychology and the social imaginaries of Baudrillard and Bauman, in a dialogue with the theories of McDonaldization and Disneyization. The aim is to broaden our understanding of consumerism to include the perennial consumption of symbols and signs of identity - a process which is the basis for the fabrication of the commodified self. The book offers a profound, innovative critique of our consumption societies, challenging readers to rethink how we live, and how our identities are impacted by consumerism. As such it will be of interest to students and scholars of critical psychology, psychoanalysis, sociology, anthropology and cultural studies, but is also accessible to anyone interested in the complex psychology of contemporary subjectivity.

TheBillionCoin (TBC) Online Investments Marketplace Review
The TBC online investments marketplace is a unique dynamic and goal-oriented platform with a remodification of stationary eCommerce system where people can buy goods literally within their abode with 50% TBC and 50% cash. SwiftPay is the online marketplace that focuses on creating value, promoting and supporting the vision of TheBillionCoin by eradicating poverty and availing a wealth creation phase for every believer of TheBillionCoin. Swift pay has four investment options you can partake and be successful.
Stock Investment Module
This module is available mainly for Nigerians for registered members of SwiftPay with the opportunity to buy any items at 50% cash and 50% TBC.
All registered members who take part in the cash investment module have the opportunity to buy goods worth 140% of their invested cash within 14 days.
No market will offer you such bonuses. This investment can be renewed every 14days, you can also make multiple investments before the completion of your initial investment. You don't have to open multiple accounts.
Cash Investment Module
On cash investment module, you will have the opportunity to exchange your TBC to cash, the exchange of your TBC depends only on the amount you invested.
For example
If you invest ₦50,000 you will be given a cashout buttons of 50% of your cash after every ten days. After the first ten days, you will get a cash-out of half of your
Money. i.e ₦25,000 and on the 20th day you will also get another half of your capital (₦25,000). Your invested cash return back to you after 20days. Please, note you will be given a cash out button after every 10days to cash out.
Read: Earn Free Bitcoin with CryptoTab Browser for Bitcoin Miner
If you don't cash out on the 10th and 11th day, the cash out button will go off for the next 10days again. On the 30th day of your investment, your TBC in your wallets worth ₦25,000 in the platform will be converted to cash and will be available for you to cash out. Multiple investments are allowed. You don't need to open multiple accounts you can just invest using days intervals.
For instance, if your account is activated on ₦10,000 ($27.78 bitcoin) package, your maximum for cash investment is ₦100,000. While your minimum investment is ₦10,000. If you have made your maximum investment today, you will have to hold on for another 10days before you can invest up-to another ₦100,000 more again. So if you have invested with ₦50,000 today you will also have an opportunity to make another investment of up to ₦50,000 any day.
Matrix Exchange Module
This is the second to the latest and fascinating update on Swift pay now. Lots of people are already joining this system in rapid growth. The Matrix system is well programmed to make your TBC exchange worth $7,000,000 into Bitcoin worth 1166 Bitcoins or ₦2,590,000,000. (Two billion, five hundred and ninety million Naira. Is that really possible? Well, you have a chance to find out.
On the matrix module, every registered member of SwiftPay will make a one-time donation of $50 (₦18,000) and refer just 5 serious members who are willing to make donations and also refer 5 people individually. Please, note that for every $50(₦18,000) you received from your downline, your downline will also receive a $50 TBC in return from your account. The total sum of $150 will be deducted from the upline on moving to level 2.
It is important that before joining the matrix you need to fund your TBC wallet on the platform by making a minimum deposit of $250 TBC. On completion of your first five legs who made a payment, your account will be automatically upgraded to level 2 and you will receive a cash-out of $150 (₦54,000) you don't have to make any payments again. All you need to do is to create a team where you can help your downlines with excess spillovers. Spillover to downline is important, you need to be aware that spillover can be given only between direct upline and direct downline.
For example
Mr A invites B, C, D, E, F any excess spillover he has can only be placed between B, C, D, E, and F. The maximum Mr A can give to each of his downline from the excess spillover he has is unlimited. Mr A can make an even distribution of 2 members each to his downline if he has an excess downline.
Read: Earn Money Online with this Micropayments Mobile App
If Mr A has completed his mission towards helping his downline with the excess downline. It is now the responsibility of B, C, D, E, and F to get the remain 3 each.
More so B, C, D, and F need to help their downline with two downlines each if needs are ( not by force, but very essential for their rapid growth). Spillover to upline is very possible for a downline to help his upline to move forward without lacking behind by working as a team.
For example,
if Mr A referred just 3 members (B, C, and D), he will need 2 more legs to have a complete Matrix. If B and D have excess paid downline they can give out to their upline so as to complete the matrix leg and move to the next level.
Non-TBCian Investment Module
SwiftPlay just introduces the latest update to all TBCians that they have launched a new module known as Non-TBCians Module where both TBCians and Non-TBCians alike will benefit from this system simultaneously. This investment module is strategically put in place such that even non-TBCians will be able to invest and also cashout both TBC and cash together. By so doing non TBCians will also be able to benefit and enjoy the TheBillionCoin (TBC) given to them.
For all non-TBCians who are willing to partake in this investment module opportunity (the journey to abundance lifestyle), they will be able to cash out their TBC to their wallets or use it to purchase goods right within the platform or simply exchange their TBC to cash.
How the Non-TBCians Investment Modules
The non-TBCians investment module is intelligently programmed in a such that all newly joined non-TBCians will have the opportunity to make up to 10% TBC of the cash they invested and also make a profit of 20% cash interest plus their capital money back just within one month of their investment. If a non-TBCian invest N50,000 naira on the non-TBCians investment module, the investor will get 4% daily return on the investment i.e;
4×N50000/100 = N2000 (Daily Return); For 10days = N20,000; For 20days = N40,000 and finally; For 30days (final day for investment) = N60,000.
The investor will also get 10% of TheBillionCoin (TBC) accrued over the 30days i.e: 50,000×10/100 = N5000 ($13.89). Total Return on Investment = N60,000 + $13 ( TBC). For all TBCians who are able to refer a Non-TBCianss to the system will also be given 10% of any amount invested by a referred member to exchange with their TBC.

InstaSeptember {Part II}
{Part I} was last week.
Just a few things we've been up to this week.
I turned 36 on Monday and the sweetest birthday card and Starbucks gift card arrived in the mail this week from my dear friend Kathleen. Kathleen and I became friends through WIWW and have kept in touch for several years through blogging, instragram and facebook. I'm thankful for blog friends who have turned into real friends.
I had a special visitor after school this week.
My sweet boys before we went to church Sunday night.
There's a new Star Wars Angry Birds app. I know what these two will be doing this weekend. As a boy mom, I just don't get Star Wars. My boys do, and they love it.
Here's a pic from my birthday. I've already put it on the blog, but I was so proud of this photo. The boys all posed and cooperated.
I forgot to put this in InstaSeptember {Part I}. We bought a fish! His name is Mike (as in Mike Wazowski from Monster Inc. and Monsters U). The boys named him so I'm going to go with it. I bought another fish for my classroom at school. I teach Texas History so I told the kids that at school the name had to have some sort of historical significance. We had 3 choices--Davy (for David Crockett), Bowie (for Jim Bowie), or Sully (Ok, that was sort of reference to Monster Inc. since the boys chose Mike my students wanted to name him Sully. I got creative and found a way to make it Texas History relevant. I attended Texas A&M and there's a statue of Sul Ross by the Academic Building. He was a Texas Ranger, a governor of Texas, and the President of Texas A&M. So we made a stretch and applied it to him since he was important to Texas history and went with Sully.)

Understanding Cremation Options
There are some issues to consider when deciding between cremation and burial. Families may encounter some discomfort with cremation and resistance from family members for a variety of personal reasons.
Will your family be comfortable with cremation? Some family members are disturbed at the thought of death itself, much less cremation, which many perceive as a cold and uninvolved process. They may resist your wishes when the time comes. Address it with your family now if you want to be cremated. You can put their unease to rest, and have peace of mind knowing your wishes will be carried out.
Direct cremation is another option--many people request to eliminate "all the bother of funeral services" for family members. Funeral services aren't provided for the deceased--they're there to help support and comfort the living. Take time to consider family and friends and their need to work through the grieving process before you make this decision.
Scattering requests should be given careful consideration as well. Emptying the urn of all that remains of a loved one can be a traumatic experience--carefully consider the feelings of the family in deciding whether or not to do this.
Another factor you should consider when deciding whether or not to choose cremation include the fact that crematories are operated by dedicated people with great respect for the deceased.
For purposes of safety and dignity, it's generally required that bodies are cremated in a rigid container such as a casket or other container approved for cremation.
Restrictions on cremation are different from state to state, even from one cemetery to the next. Depending on the final resting place you choose, requirements may include an urn, urn vault, and other items. Making your choices now can help your family down the road. In most cases, cremation satisfies federal clean air requirements.
You should check to ensure that all personal property has been removed from the deceased at the funeral home and returned to the family or executor unless otherwise instructed. Families should also be mindful of valuables and mementos placed with the loved one.

Fire in the Soul
Her Soul is on Fire…
She calls to those who hunger to know their own.
To those who run head first into their own fire, igniting an inner SPARK that cascades into a wildfire,
burning away all that is NOT Soul.
She knows her stories and your stories are the first to go, leaving a raw, naked to the bone space where awakened Presence lives and breathes Life.
Her fierce compassion reminds you of the love and respect you carry for yourself.
Her powerful grace reminds you to stop fighting, to soften and surrender to yourself, even as things die and come to an end.
Her unwavering trust reminds you to trust your own journey of becoming.
Her courageous commitment to herself invites you to stay true to your own.
Her willingness to unleash and flow the force of nature she is into the world welcomes you to do the same.
Her ability to navigate inner chaos reminds you it's safe to rise in your own.
Her great passion compels you to act when all around you is complacency.
She allows the process of death for what was, to make room for the birth of what awaits…
ALL that IS Soul.

3 Easy Ways to Blur an Image
Need to highlight the main object on your image and hide boring surroundings? Or you just took an awesome photo but it looks a little too sharp? Adding a photo blur is the easiest and obvious solution in both of these cases.
Working with this effect is tricky, though. No one wants to end up with a complete mess or achieve no result after laying over a few blurs. And you need a reliable photo editor app for PC to get a perfect balance between the blur and sharpness. Not sure which one? PhotoWorks will definitely be a great choice.
In comparison with one-trick online editors or complicated desktop software, this one is pretty easy and really powerful, so even newbies will be able to get on with it and bring all their creative ideas to life. So, are you ready to become a master of the hazy effect? Then just continue reading and discover how to blur photos in 3 different ways.
Way 1. How to Make a Picture Blurred
Although people consider blurry photos to be a no-no, sometimes applying the effect to the whole image is necessary. The original photo may be a bit sharp, so the slight blur will fix it. The stronger effect will help you make a soft background full of dreamy silhouettes. Such images are suitable for adding text advertisements or quotations.
It does not matter whether you need light or strong image blurring, PhotoWorks will let you put the effect over the whole image with just a move of a slider. Here are the steps:
Step 1. Start PhotoWorks
Start with running the image editor and opening your photo.
You can import a photo with a button click or drop it from the folder
Step 2. Open the Enhancement tab
Go to Enhancement and switch to the Sharpness section.
You will find the necessary settings under the Sharpness section
Step 3. Use the Slider to Make a Picture Blurry
Use the Amount slider to adjust the Blur strength. It depends on what kind of effect you want to achieve. Want to add a feeling of mystery to your photos? Try setting the blurrer somewhere between 30 and 70 points.
We are moving the Amount slider to add some blur
Use the Opacity slider to get the softness similar to the Orton photography technique. It mixes the sharp original and the blurred copy together creating a dreamy effect suitable for romantic or fantasy themed shots.
Way 2. How to Blur Out Part of a Picture
Puzzled about how to blur a part of a picture only? For example, blur the hair of your model to give the shot some action or dim the distant mountains to make the landscape look even more calm? This task sounds tricky since you must soften the chosen things only without damaging the main objects.
While using other blur makers, you are probably doomed to work with various, not-very-convenient selections and spend half an hour drawing out every pixel. It's not tricky at all if you're using PhotoWorks. Just run the software and use the steps below to blur certain parts of an image in no time:
Step 1. Start PhotoWorks
Open the software and import the photo you want to edit.
We're adding the photo that needs some correction
Step 2. Choose Adjustment Brush
Go to the Retouch tab and pick Adjustment Brush. Select the brush size, then switch to the Sharpness tab.
We will use Adjustment Brush to blur only a part of our image
Step 3. Paint Over to Add the Blur Effect
Now paint over the area you want to blur. Use the Amount slider to blur this part of an image and control the effect strength.
To apply the blur, you will need to paint over the area
Step 4. Apply the Changes
When you've finished working with this tool, click Apply. Now just hit Save in the top right corner to keep your work!
In the end, save your work to keep the edited image
Use Feather in the Basic tab to control the brush edge. Apply soft strokes to large objects like people, and switch to the hard brush while painting over small or complicated objects like faces details.
Way 3: How to Blur Photo Background
The photo seems to be perfect but something is still missing? Want to give it a twist? Then tell a story by focusing on the main object and getting rid of other things. The plot can be different and depends on the blur type you're using. In other words, try applying the blur to the surroundings.
Simple blur will help you create a slight line between the model and the surroundings. Radial blur is often used for portrait photos. It shifts the focus from the sides to the main character, dimming everything around it. Horizontal blur with a focal point near the image edge will add motion and make your shot more dynamic.
Radial Filter in PhotoWorks allows you to blur the background of your image without any complicated selections or tricky brush adjustments. Just a few tweaks - and it's hazy perfect!
Here are the steps:
Step 1. Open Your Photo
Launch PhotoWorks and drop in your pic.
First, we'll import the image we need to blur
Step 2. Select Radial Filter
Switch to the Retouch tab and choose Radial Filter.
Radial Filter is a great tool for blurring the background
Step 3. Use the Filter to Add Blur to Photo
First, left-click the area and drag the mouse to make a round selection. Now, since you want to fuzz out the background only, switch Processing to Outside.
Radial Filter is also a great tool for making a spotlight effect
Use the Amount slider in the Sharpness tab to add some blur. If the effect is too strong, fade opacity to a necessary level. Now click Apply to keep the changes!
By blurring the background, you will focus on the image center
You can create a blurry frame using the Radial filter. All you need to do is adjust the selection size and the effect strength. This trick works amazing on shots with large objects.
And that's it! Now you know how to apply image blur in different ways. Create soft hazy pictures bubbling with bokeh, make your models pop out or add a few misty touches here and there - just pick a way that suits your current editing task. And PhotoWorks will help you achieve it!

The best thing about booking with us is that we are unbiased. We don't have exclusive contracts with selected resorts, operators or catskiing providers in Canada, but rather have them all to make sure you get exactly the holiday you are dreaming of. No compromises, no sad faces - as we offer the widest collection of alternatives for catskiing in Canada.
Catski Canada
Shred Deep Pow every day with Catski Canada
Catskiing is gaining momentum as the best way to backcountry in Canada. It's difficult to describe the sensation of freeriding in the Great White North. So many factors make this special place the most unique in the world: high peaks, versatile terrain, ski areas, world-class infrastructure and massive snowfalls of dry pow. While you can't exactly predict the weather for your trip, you can minimize the risk of bad conditions ruining your session. By choosing a snowcat trip, you can rest assured that you won't have any down days.
Our Head of Sales travel is a true board rider. From starting out skating as a kid back home in the UK, to snowboarding in the European Alps and Canada, to chasing waves all across the globe, Mister Jenner has done it all. Now spending his time flipping between the mountains and the ocean, Martin is your go-to guy for Snow Travel and Maldives Surf Trips.
The snow has captured our hearts for years. Most of our staff have spent extensive time living, traveling and hunting snow across Canada and we know the best operators and destinations to suit your budget and skill level. With us, it's always personal. We cater to your needs and come up with the best alternatives that suit you.
We offer best price guarantee - always and forever! We figured out all the cost traps, so you don't have to. There are many. But through our extensive network and long-lasting relationships, we know how to avoid them and save your hard-earned cash on unnecessary costs.
We offer safe, fast and reliable payment and booking options. But what makes LUEX stand out is that you are talking to real people! Our dedicated sales agent not only walks you through the process step-by-step but will assist you with everything you need along the way. Jetting off to your dream destination has never been easier!
At LUEX, you get to talk to real people with real input! All of our sales agents are experienced skiers and riders and understand what it's like to book your first (or second or third) snow trip. No scripted messages, no robot typing – just real-time assistance and a human touch.
"...It's a little less intense with a snowcat. It takes longer to get the group to the top, but that's the time when I can get some rest, chat with the others about the lines we just skied or eat a sandwich. And believe me, you'll still get to ski from morning til late afternoon and come back to the lodge tired and satisfied. Talking about the lodge, it's a modern and cozy house with sauna that offers very good food and great atmosphere. I'll be back next year."
"That was the best experience EVER! Snowboarding on the fresh powder and enjoying every run. Super satisfied with the 8 runs we did. At the end I was quite tired, but in conditions like these I could another 3 or more runs if it was possible. Crew was great, they really know what are they doing. I recommend it to everyone who wants an ultimate powder day! :)"
"Canada is simply FANTASTIC. I'm from Seattle and I've been coming back to B.C. every winter for a decade. As I have a limited budget, catskiing seems like the best way to shred the best powder without spending life's savings. This trip stands out. Guiding and terrain are on the highest level, while lodge is a little more basic… but hey! This makes it more affordable than other trips and trust – just as much fun!"
"Island Lake Lodge is professional service. I enjoy comfort lodge much and my friend too. We skied amazing routes, different than Europe Alps. We get all skis, avalanche equipment, guides and it is very good. Great experience, because powder runs are many kinds of terrain and all by snowcat, so if is snowy or clouds we go freeriding too..."
Why you should go Catskiing in Canada
Catski affordable for the adventurer
Gorgeous vistas, deep dry powder, and cozy mountain lodges add up to an unforgettable ski trip. But catskiing in Canada has a lot more to offer. Snowcat skiing is perfect for skiers and snowboarders who want to experience all the extreme terrain and wide-open spaces Canada is famous for, but at a much more affordable price than heliskiing. Catskiing is pure value for many, and a much more laid-back travel style, without all the hassles of heliskiing or the crowds of resort skiing.
No matter where you choose to go snowcat skiing or snowboarding, you can almost guarantee that you'll get the most vertical for your money. Snowcats don't have to be grounded for bad weather days, while this is the risk of heliskiing trips. And because it's much more economical for snowcat operators to provide you with a full day's worth of skiing, you'll have more time on the slopes and less time waiting for a ride or sitting out bad weather.
A great alternative to heli skiing
Snowcat skiing has long been thought of as the "little sister" to heli skiing. And although heliskiing ticks a lot of boxes for backcountry enthusiasts, there are excellent reasons to choose snowcat skiing, beyond just saving money.
For those eco-conscious skiers and boarders, snowcat skiing has a lesser impact on the environment than its helicopter alternative. It's also known for offering a more relaxed travel experience, starting from the beginning of your day, when you don't have to worry about the long list of safety rules for riding in a helicopter. It's a cozy ride from bottom to top, with relaxed trips up the hill between runs. Crank some tunes instead of listening to the roar of a helicopter, and enjoy a few snacks, warm drinks and a little conversation with friends, old and new.
Canada is the wild west of catskiing
There's no place like Canada for catskiing. From the cozy and luxurious lodges to the well-developed catskiing tenures and of course, the epic terrain, cat skiing in Canada is sure to be the trip of a lifetime. Canadian catski operators are known as some of the best in the business, with decades of experience developing the best routes. These legends offer the highest level of service and are among the world's elite guides for anyone new to catskiing.
Canada is the "wild west" of skiing, welcoming all types of powder cowboys, and offering a much different atmosphere than Europe. In this vast, beautiful country, you'll find plenty of fresh powder, untracked slopes and incredible views at every turn. In many ways, Canada is the ultimate skiing destination. What Hawaii or Indo is for surfers, Canada is for powder hounds: the biggest mountains, best snow and some of the most expansive terrain you'll find anywhere on the planet.
Endless budget and travel options for Catski Canada
LUEX offers more catskiing trips in Canada than you'll find anywhere else in the world and we have a great selection to choose from perfect for families, couples, solo travellers and groups. We understand everyone is different and know how to tailor a trip for anyone – from party people to ski bums.
Catski trips in Canada also come in every price range, with multiple budget options available for any wallet weight. Of course, choices are even broader for those interested in a medium to luxury-priced trip. Our catski trips are best suited to intermediate to pro skiers and riders with mostly steep terrain, tree runs, and open chutes and bowls. But it doesn't mean newbies need to stay on the bunny hill, with guides able to hunt down friendlier terrain for less advanced riders. Adventure, luxury, and endless champagne powder: you can have it all with a catski trip in Canada.

The Ultimate From-Scratch Ground Beef Tacos
- Jennifer Pallian BSc, RD
- 14 March
These tested-till-perfect, crazy-delicious beef tacos take advantage of fresh ingredients (vs. a spice mix) to make the ultimate beef taco filling recipe. Forget a powdered taco seasoning mix. Forget even a HOMEMADE powdered seasoning mix. Do you think any taco in Mexico uses powdered garlic? Powdered onion? No, mi amigo. I don't think so. Even though […]

Creating buzz about your business means that you do something to get people talking about you and your business. Today, creating buzz about your business is important, especially as there are so many people to compete with. But, if you can set yourself apart in this way, you'll win a lot of new customers. Here are nine ways to do that.
Press releases are still viable and important ways to get buzz about your business, even in this day of social media and blogging. Press releases should be sent out to your contacts every time you have something newsworthy to share.
Infographics are long, pictorial graphics that tell a story about the data and information that you have. These are great ways to encourage sharing, especially if you include data that is relevant for your audience that they'll enjoy.
Having a book launch with a free Kindle book is a great way to create buzz. Ask the people who download the book free to give you a review and feedback, which will help move your book up on the list that Kindle recommends to people.
While you might not be able to just willfully create a viral video, if you create regular videos that are of interest to your audience then one of them is bound to resonate enough to go viral. Videos get shared more often than text, so you're off to the right start when you create videos.
Contests are great way to create buzz about your business. You can have them on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, your blog... however you want. Just follow the rules of the platform and make sure your prizes are relevant to your audience.
A blog tour is where you plan to place a guest post that is original to the place where you put it, and which is about something you're promoting. The way to set that up is to contact people to join the tour and allow you to post your information on their blog.
These are great ways to build your email list and get buzz about your business. A good way to do it is to ask other people to do them with you. That way you all promote to your own email lists too.
A YouTube channel can be almost as good as having a television show if you plan out the content you want to do, post content on a consistent basis, and try to be as professional as possible.
You don't want to do charitable things just because you want to create buzz. But, if there is a charity that you like, you can donate a percentage of proceeds all the time to it, or you can have yearly sales where all proceeds go to the fundraiser.
If you want to create buzz about your business, using social media is a great way to do it. Try these different ways and see what reactions you get. Keep doing new things as often as you can to keep the buzz going.
Marketing your business online inexpensively is a real possibility. You can practically market your business for free if you know what to do. That's why online marketing is so completely awesome and fun. The barriers to entry are low, and even the learning curve is small. So before you know it, you will bring your business to profit with free or cheap marketing.
This is one of your most important marketing weapons in your arsenal. In fact, you'll use content for all types of marketing including every inexpensive way mentioned below. Content is needed that sells, educates, engages, informs and excites. You need content for all aspects of marketing - up to and including customer relations.
Social media like LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Google+ all have a place in your online marketing endeavors. Well, they might. You have to determine which social media networks will work for you and it will depend on your niche and your audience. Where do they hang out? Be there.
Blogging is a big source of traffic, and in some instances the only source of traffic for many website owners. It's a great way to get the message out to your audience while not spending much money. You can write the posts yourself or you can outsource. Most people write them themselves when starting out. It can take time to get used to doing it, but writing a post a day can help gain momentum. But you also want to consider doing longer blog posts, less often, to get results.
If you are not familiar with SEO (search engine optimization), it's important to learn. SEO changes constantly and is how you optimize your website for search engines. There is both on-page and off-page SEO that you can do for your business. Learn all you can about it.
The good, old-fashioned press release is still a thing, believe it or not. You can still get a lot of value out of sending out free press re-releases if you know how to do it. The trick is to have contacts to which you send the press release directly and not just out to never-never land.
Your website is your store front, and even if you have a bricks and mortar store front, your website is the store front your customers will likely see first. If it doesn't look great, why would anyone purchase from you
Communities are a great way to get your name out there. There are communities you can join on Facebook and LinkedIn, as well as self-hosted and owned "inner circles" and mastermind clubs that you can join. They can help you get known as an expert, as well as help you get more links to your website.
There are directories that are free or inexpensive that you can join to help market your business. Ensure that the directory is niche oriented, and that it is run by a reputable person so that you are listed with other reputable business owners. You don't want to be on a list that is associated with spam. Your local chamber of commerce is one such list that you can get on for the price of your membership.
Finding inexpensive ways to market your business online is a great way to get started. But even after you have a great business, you'll want to keep using these inexpensive ways to market your business.
Small business owners are more likely to make more costly advertising mistakes than large corporations. The main reason for this is because as a small business you likely do not have an advertising department and experts to help you navigate the ins and outs of advertising. You can avoid these mistakes simply by knowing about them and then not doing them.
Not Using Customer Relationship Managment (CRM) System – Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is the process of tracking and analyzing all of the interactions you have with your customers and prospects. CRM software is a tool that centralizes, simplifies, secures, and scales your customer engagement.
Placing the Focus Elsewhere – The focus always needs to be on your audience, their problems, and how you can solve them. NOT on your products and/or services. They want to know what is in it for them, not what is in it for you. Remember to focus on benefits over features.
Being Unclear about the Audience – If you do not know who your audience is, it will be hard to create the right advertisement. Create customer personas so that each time you write an advertisement or create a message, you know exactly who to direct it to.
Having a Weak Message – In order to create a strong message, you need to know your audience and the objective ( the action you want them to do), ensuring that you list the benefits along with your unique selling proposition. If you include some powerful words in a simple but clear language, so much the better.
Not Sending Marketing Messages Often Enough – The frequency by which you choose to send advertising messages is important. Not often enough and they forget you exist; too often and you become a pest. You have to know your audience to know that fine line.
Avoiding a Call to Action – If you do not give your audience something to do, they will likely do nothing. It is important to know what your objective is before placing the advertisement so that you can form an effective CTA.
Not Using an Effective Landing Page – You can have a great product, a wonderful advertisement and then not convert people because your landing page is not effective. If you have a lot of click-throughs to the landing page but which aren't converting to customers, test different landing pages.
Misunderstanding the Metrics – A good example of what metrics can do for you is the point above. Try to understand what the numbers mean so that you can make a good choice of how to perfect the situation. If you are not sure, talk to someone who is an expert.
Not Budgeting for Experts – You cannot do everything yourself and if advertising and sales are not in your expertise wheelhouse, you should contract with an expert to help you. If you already have your product or service ready, find someone who is used to marketing to your audience, and get their help.
Understanding that these are mistakes that many small businesses make with their advertising can help you not do the same thing. It is important that you are aware of the types of things small businesses do that cause failure, or that cost a lot of money without any results. If you know better, you can do better.
Even if you have an online business, you don't need to overlook your local market. Networking locally might even be the very best way to jump-start your business. It doesn't matter whether you're selling a product or a service; there are people local to you who need what you're offering. What's more, it might be easier to market to local people than you think.
Networking your home business or online business locally can help you either get jump-started or help you get out of your comfort zone to become a well-known expert in your niche.

On this repeat visit to the restaurant that caused me to fall in love with Portland, we ordered the steak tartare again. We were completely enamored with the skillfully diced beef, the petite drop of egg yolk, and the crisp crostini. It was just as fresh as I had remembered it. Consistently executed quality dishes like this is what makes for an awesome restaurant. This is a must if visiting Olympic Provisions... or even Portland at all.
The mixed beans salad from last time gave me such a lasting impression that I convinced Allie to order some vegetables... at a salumeria. Yes, I know. But how could we resist? Nutritious, beautiful, and ever so fresh, the kale salad with thinly sliced radishes was a fitting complement to our meal.
One item on the dessert menu that we did not order last time was the salame de chocolat. Yes, you read that correctly. Chocolate salami. But it's not what you think. Or it might be exactly what you think. It's smooth chocolate in the shape of a sausage with bits of nuts and toffee right where the fatty spots of a salami should be. Genius. Pure genius. Along with the citrus marmalade and the salt and pepper shortbread... holy momma, this was devilishly delicious. We particularly took a liking to the shortbread. It was like a melt-in-your-mouth Ritz cracker... but even better. Some would say this cracker was on crack.
To top everything off, we sneaked in a few small bites of some dessert that the staff was catering to a wedding.
Hats off to Chef Alex for his genuine food preparation, passion, and prowess. Just in case you are expecting a swanky place, this is not it. Don't expect anyone to place a white cloth napkin over your lap as you sit down. It is just a straight forward salumeria, a glorified butcher shop of sorts, that makes food without fuss. Olympic Provisions is for me what a day spa is for those working in corporate America. Feeling stressed? Suffering from culinary depression? Chef Alex will give you a realignment. And at the end of your session you'll want to come back again. Until then, let's all get S.O.F.A.T.

Schwaid tops NBC S.F. transition team
WCAU(TV) Philadelphia news director Steve Schwaid will head NBC's 'transition
team' for its new Bay area network-owned-and-operated station, KNTV(TV),

Schwaid, who once headed news for the Paramount group, will report to station

In his three-and-a-half-years with the NBC station, historically dominant

Schwaid has already been making trips to the Bay area in anticipation of the

I'm always down for trying new products, especially when it comes to hair care. Recently I received two products from Briogeo Hair Care. These products were the Don't Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask and the Rosarco Repair Shampoo.
I also love getting to try new brands. I had never heard of Briogeo prior to testing these two products so of course I did my research. Here's what I found…
- Briogeo prides themselves on being 6-FREE hair care. There aren't sulfates, silicones, parabens, phthalates, DEA or artificial dyes in their products.
- Their products are also formulated with their "NOVA Complex," (Natural Oils, Vitamins, and Antioxidants). This is derived from the highest-quality fruit and vegetable butters, oils and extracts to provide hair with essential nutrients.
- They offer a simplified 2, 3 or 4 step hair care regimen to give you everything you need and nothing you don't.
So let's talk about my Briogeo experience, starting with the Rosarco Repair Shampoo
This shampoo is great. Y'all know I have very blonde ends, and I've mentioned before I'm prone to breakage. Especially in these cold NY fall/winter months. My hair looks and feels so soft and healthy after using this (paired with the deep conditioning mask). I also love that this shampoo has a very subtle scent and lathers nicely.
Next let's get to the Don't Despair, Repair Deep Conditioning Mask
This deep conditioning mask is soooo good. I'm always hesitant when it comes to masks because some are just so heavy and make my hair greasy. I've tried plenty of masks I've had such high hopes for, but that just end up being super disappointing. The first thing I noticed was that this mask was so creamy! Like the repair shampoo that I also tried, the scent was very subtle which I liked. I left this one for about 20 minutes on damp hair and covered with a shower cap and wow, my hair was soft and not weighed down at all. I cannot stop touching my hair after conditioning with this one!
Brigeo offers hair care products for everyone. From dry hair, curly hair or fine hair, they have a regimen for all hair types. Check out their product selection, because from their quality products, to their natural ingredients and personalized selections, you won't be disappointed with this brand.
Disclaimer: I received these products free for testing purposes, but like all my reviews, I don't share it with you unless I absolutely stand by the product and all opinions are my own.
