If you are going to be traveling to France for a vacation you have to be prepared. You need to know all the things you have to have to get into the country. If you aren't prepared you are going to have a difficult time doing all of the things you need to do and your trip is going to be more complicated. You have to make sure that you have your passport and you also need an ETIAS France to visit. This new requirement is important because you can't get on the plane without it. You will have to apply for it online and pay a small fee to get it.
Once you have your ETIAS you can travel to France and many other countries in the EU. The ETIAS helps to weed out people who might be a risk or who might try to stay in France illegally. The ETIAS also helps weed out people who might be a terrorist threat. This authorization is electronic so you can apply for it online.
All you need to get your authorization is a credit card, your passport and an email address. You can get it quickly and you won't have to wait a long time to get it. Most people get approved right away and the approval is linked electronically to your passport so you don't have print anything out or remember to take the document with you. It is very easy to get one of these authorizations and most people get approved right away.
You never have to wait a long time to get your ETIAS France and it is very fast and easy to get. Most people get approved right away and you should not have to wait very long to get your approval. Don't take too long to apply.

Half the fun of taking photos is the ability to share them with friends and family on social media. In doing so, the photographer should receive credit for the photo being posted. Giving proper credit to an artist is a nice way of saying "thank you for taking such a great photo". Professionals show respect by giving credit to those who deserve it. In this article, Grand Lens Photography explains why it is important to give proper credit to your wedding photographer.
It is a marketing tool
Photo credits are a source of new clients and sales for photographers. These artists suffer a direct economic loss when a client fails to include accreditation of the image. It can be frustrating when a client posts a photo without attaching the photographer's name. The amount of time and energy photographers put into events and photo sessions extend beyond that. Photographers select the best images from the session or event and do any necessary retouching, which may take hours to complete. Respect the photographer's work by tagging them in the caption or in a hashtag if the artist does not have an account with a specific media outlet. Let us say you stumble upon a photo that you MUST share with others, but you cannot identify the artist. With a bit of work, you can find the answer by using Google's reverse image lookup.
Possibility of a lawsuit
There is a possibility that you may be held liable for copyright infringement under 17 U.S. Code Section 501(2) of the United States copyright law. Getting permission from the owner of the photo is necessary if you do not find public domain image. Finding a photo in a public domain is not difficult, however, the subject itself may be subject to copyright (famous works of art, famous people, etc.). In this case, you must also obtain permission from the copyright owner. If you are contacted by the artist regarding improper use, manipulation, or miscredited images, remedy the situation immediately to the best of your ability. There is no side of this predicament that will ever run in favor of anyone besides the owner of the image. Only that specific individual is allowed to dictate how, when, and why their work is used.
watermark logo
Numerous photographers throw what the industry calls a "watermark" on an image because they do not believe the client will ever provide them appropriate photo credit or believe someone will notice the watermark and attempt to connect with the creator. Others would agree that placing a watermark onto an image ruins the quality of the image. A photographer's only purpose for a watermark is when the photo is being delivered to a client as an "unfinished proof". This is a common and somewhat necessary evil for wedding and headshot photographers. The images in this stage are absolutely not for sharing or public display.
There is no justification for not crediting the photographer who created the original work. A lack of credit does not present you as appealing and this does not make the post more engaging to the public. Not giving credit only upsets the photographer, which they then question the possibility of working with that client in the future, especially when the photographer works for exposure rather than monetary compensation. At the end of the day, all artists deserve credit for their strong work.
Grand Lens Photography wants to help you ensure your engagement and wedding photos come out amazing. Check out our blog for tips and tricks to help with achieve the best photos!

I'm writing this review with an extremely heavy heart today, because this is a Found Footage movie from my neck of the woods. When I say 'my neck of the woods' – I mean not more than ten minutes away from where I am sitting right now, typing this.
Shadow of the Missing was filmed in a town I spent a lot of my youth in, Llanelli (don't bother trying to pronounce it if you're not Welsh – it will give you a headache!).
Now, when my man Nick Dawson contacted me to let me know he had found this title online, I was more than a little excited…
It didn't last.
Unfortunately this movie will fill ANY Welshman/woman with untold amounts of embarrassment, as it did me. It's fucking terrible.
What's worse is that I've got to compound my misery by writing about it here…
The Plot
A group of young filmmakers are attending a Film Festival in Wales. They come across an abandoned church, and hear music coming from inside. After some goading and teasing, the entire group decides to return to the church in order to solve the mystery. Complications arise, however, when one by one members of the group start to disappear. Only the footage remains to tell their tale.
Yep – I'm going straight to the conclusion with this one, because I want to wipe the experience from my memory as quickly as possible…then move on!
I'm sitting here desperately trying to find a positive for the film – because I'm left feeling like a traitor to my country at the moment.
But…there are no positives…and believe me, I've really TRIED to find some.
The acting is nothing short of atrocious and unnatural in nearly every scene.
The camera work is an abomination from start to finish. Who goes into filming a movie without knowing what a focus function is for?
The audio sounds like it was put together on a 1980's Fostex Four Track…without the big 'Dolby' button pressed.
Man, this is hard…
The film could well have been saved by a degree of suspense, or clever pacing…neither of which were achieved here. I gather from the film's credits, that a guy named Jamie Lee Smith directed the movie. I'm trying not to be mean here – but he seems to have had a pretty easy job (there was NO direction in this movie!).
Smith actually plays one of the characters in the film as well, not sure which one, as they all stunk the place out anyway.
The plot has very little mystery about it, and falls flat on it's face time and time again. It's one of those movies where you're left sitting there thinking "Who the FUCK thought this was good enough to show the world?".
I'm actually a little pissed off at the moment, and a trifle embarrassed, but there is one other Welsh Found Footage movie out there which is quite good (I forget the name, but it is covered on this site!). So there is hope…
But this was terrible. Really bad. Embarrassing.

A Guide To Getting That Body You've Always Wanted
Weight loss can be a very personal change of life for everyone. It involves the special needs of an individual, along with personal plans and goals. This vast world has so many treatments, training regimens, and techniques that seem a bit confusing where you should start. These tips can help you understand the confusion.
Lose weight
To help you lose weight make sure to always pay attention not only to what you eat, but how much you eat. The main performers of this type of meal do it while watching television or reading. You can lose track of how much you eat and fill yourself past what you normally eat. Either disconnect your previous portion or do not let yourself be disturbed while snacking.
Strict Diet
Stay away from strict diet or any diet that makes your body malnourished. Both types of diets are actually harmful to your body, reducing your metabolism and effectively damaging the main way your body burns calories. Simply reducing your calorie intake and exercising is the best way to lose weight.
Inspirational Sentence
The best way to lose weight is to write inspirational phrases or quotes, and place them somewhere you will see each day. Seeing it every day will keep you motivated to continue losing weight. A great place to put something like this is right in your bathroom mirror.
low calorie
To help you diet to lose weight without feeling deprived, look for low-calorie replacements for your favorite foods. For example, a hot chocolate diet can taste like pleasure, but with just 25 calories, actually it's right for your diet. Although you should also pay attention to artificial sweeteners in such a dish, they can be a good alternative.
If you are overweight, consider weight loss as a way to relieve joint pain. If you start making changes to a healthier lifestyle, your body will benefit. Weight loss minimizes pressure and pressure on joints, and is worth a try before considering more radical chemical treatments. Sometimes, all you need is a change!
A good way to lose weight is to spend more time chewing on your food. If you spend more time chewing on your food, you will be faster, which means you will tend to eat more than you need right now. Chewing slower is also a good idea.
Continue to eat foods you love, even foods that are full of sugar, abundant food, in moderation when trying to lose weight. When you really deny yourself your favorite foods, you are more likely to end up binging. This causes more calories to eat than if you occasionally indulge in your favorite fattening meal.
A good way to help you lose weight is to try to follow a vegetarian diet. Red meat and many dairy products contain lots of fat and cholesterol. Following a vegetarian diet is a great way to live healthy and have more energy to exercise.
Another great way to lose weight faster is to swim every day. Swimming is actually a fun way to burn calories without feeling like you are exercising. If you just go to the backyard and swim, you are heading to the body of your dreams.
The average American diet is very unhealthy. It consists of sweet soda, fried fast food, and fattening desserts. If you want to eat right it may be time to cut the soda and replace it with water. The transition from frying to roast, and from dessert fattening to low-fat versions. If you do not, you may see a widening waistline.
Before heading to the kitchen or driving, try drinking a full glass of water. Our body can confuse hunger with thirst easily. By drinking first, you can avoid consuming unneeded calories. Be sure to wait 5 minutes after drinking, so your body can decide whether it is full or not.
Although full weight loss is a personal change of life for everyone, it equals the ultimate goal of having a healthier weight, along with additional benefits such as reducing or eliminating some health problems. As you can see in these tips, there are various approaches; However, they are all created around healthy living with a better weight.…

CLE4R Partners
CLE4R's official partners are:
- The City of Dubuque Sustainability Department
- The Petal Project Green Business Certification Program
- Green Dubuque
Green Dubuque is a nonprofit educational and advocacy group that inspires and helps empower the Dubuque community to critically think about and act on environmental challenges. Members of Green Dubuque focus on the issues that affect Dubuque's capacity to become more resilient and regenerative: energy, local food, materials management, land use, air and water quality, social equity, transportation, and mobility. Because air quality is intertwined with energy production, transportation, and overall resource management, it has been brought to the forefront of Green Dubuque's current focus. As advocates for a clean environment here in Dubuque, members believe that citizens have the right to understand the quality of the air we breathe. To engage in proactive conversations with our neighbors, Green Dubuque relies on delineating what strategies and behavioral changes might create the most positive results in both air quality and wellness for Dubuque residents. By using Airbeam monitors to measure particulate matter across the city, Green Dubuque will help identify activities and situations hazardous to human health. Based on "actionable data," we aim to empower the Dubuque community to not only recognize, but also act upon, these findings to make Dubuque a healthier and greener community.
The University of Dubuque partners include students, professors, and the resources of an academic institution that will greatly benefit the CLE4R project. The GIS capabilities of the University are being complemented with student research and faculty expertise to craft an air quality project that begins with experimental design, offers various avenues for data analysis and implications, and will raise awareness with other students, as well as community members, on PM 2.5 air quality in Dubuque. Specific questions include the relationship of local air quality to trends in city health indicators, sociodemographic factors, and regional weather conditions. Use of Airbeams will be instrumental in developing student-centered research to be shared with the public.
Additional partners:
- Adam Hoffman, Associate Professor of Environmental Chemistry at University of Dubuque
- Green Iowa Americorps
Green Iowa AmeriCorps is participating in CLE4R under its host, the City of Dubuque Sustainability Office, as well as through collaboration with Green Dubuque and the University of Dubuque to achieve their goals with the project. Green Iowa AmeriCorps is a team that inspires home energy efficiency and environmental stewardship through home energy audits, environmental education, and community outreach. Home energy audits offer an opportunity to use the Airbeam monitors to ensure that PM concentrations are safe within a resident's home. Additionally, Green Iowa members will assist in empowering the community to make informed decisions based on citizen science.

Levitt Robinson has acted for a prominent not-for-profit organisation in a last-minute effort to oppose the NSW Police Commissioner shutting down an anti-lockouts rally.
Anti-lockouts advocacy organisation Keep Sydney Open had planned to hold a rally in Kings Cross on the evening of Saturday 21 January 2017 to protest the NSW government's "lockout laws", a series of provisions of the Liquor Act 2007 and the Liquor Regulation 2008. Popular music group Flight Facilities were scheduled to appear at the rally.
At 5.30pm on Thursday 19 January 2017, the NSW Police Commissioner served Keep Sydney Open with an application under section 25(1) of the Summary Offences Act 1988, seeking a "prohibition order" in relation to the rally, which would mean that the police would have the power to direct participants in the rally to move on or be arrested.
Because of the late filing time and the urgency of the matter, the Police application was listed before Justice Lindsay in the NSW Supreme Court at 10am on Friday 20 January 2017. This left Keep Sydney Open with less than 17 hours overnight to put together a defence.
In the course of one evening, Levitt Robinson assembled Keep Sydney Open's evidence and briefed prominent Senior Counsel, Mark Robinson SC, and two junior barristers, Tristan Bors and Damian Beaufils, to appear at the trial. Nevertheless, Justice Lindsay made the prohibition order as sought.
Matters weighed against Keep Sydney Open included a lack of a comprehensive traffic control plan and the fact that they did not have insurance cover, even though the legislation did not require either.
Levitt Robinson Senior Partner, Stewart Levitt said that the case highlights the deficiencies in the current regime under Part 4 of the Summary Offences Act 1988 (NSW).
"The legislative framework subordinates the freedom of speech and freedom of assembly to considerations which should be accorded lower priority", Mr Levitt said.
"Previous cases show the Police Commissioner routinely springing last-minute court applications on would-be protest organisers."
"It's particularly worrying in this case, given that the Commissioner was able to shut down a protest against the lockout laws, which he has publicly stated that he supports, an inherent conflict of interest."
Keep Sydney Open has remains defiant and has announced that it plans to hold an even bigger rally in February. It is also noted that the Queensland State Government recently shelved plans to enact similar lockout laws for Brisbane.
The judgment in NSW Commissioner of Police v Keep Sydney Open Ltd [2017] NSWSC 5 is available at THIS LINK

Previously, Building and Decor published an article on the 3 trends in retail technology – drones, ecommerce and omnichannel – and how they are changing the retail landscape today. However, an additional factor driving retail business is how customer interactivity is taking advantage of new technology. In this article, we look at the retail industry and compare it to another industry that is also taking advantage of the latest trends.
Mobile-based, in-store experience
According to the IBM Digital Analytics benchmark, about 70% of shoppers used a mobile device while visiting a retail store during last year's Cyber Monday. With this knowledge in mind, stores have launched mobile versions of their websites so customers can make purchases on the go.
Besides building mobile websites, some retailers are also using interactive user interfaces and in-store systems that inform owners in real time when customers are visiting their stores. This helps owners understand consumer behaviour better and pattern their interests with the ongoing trends.
Outdoor gear retailer Moosejaw has embraced using mobile-based in-store technology by equipping its employees with handheld devices that can be used to receive payments and search for specific products. If an item is currently out of stock, employees can check the company's inventory, order straight from the warehouse or another branch that has the item, and ship it directly to the customer's home.
Push Notifications
Push notifications are the sudden notifications that users receive from an app even when they're not using it. Some retailers are taking advantage of push notifications to interact with their customers whenever possible.
Currently, Wal-Mart's push notification develops a more personal relationship with their customers based on usage insights, which enhances the customer experience.
This retail giant uses push notifications to send customers new product suggestions that they have shown interest in on an earlier visit. The company also uses push notifications to send relevant pieces of data based on a customer's current location. For example, if a customer is near a Wal-Mart branch that is having a special sale, Wal-Mart patrons within the area are notified immediately. The company also provides users with instant coupons via push notifications.
Live chat support
Some retailers are capitalising on live chat support as a way to improve interaction with customers. According to a study by eConsultancy, approximately 92% of customers feel satisfied when they use a live chat feature compared to other means of contacting a company.
Nikon uses live chat support to provide a quick response to customer enquires. The most common question asked on live chat is advice on how to fix specific camera problems. Through Toys R Us' proprietary live chat support "Ask Emma," people can ask the person behind the live chat anything from item availability to product details.
Virtual Interaction
In the same way that retail companies are using mobile technology to cater to customer needs, and to take advantage of how modern consumer habits are driving digital markets, so too has the gaming industry. Virtual interaction is used by the gaming industry to provide a more realistic experience to its consumers. As players have moved away from attending casinos to playing online, companies have sought to adapt and present an experience as similar as possible. Entertainment platform Slingo, that provides digital versions of popular casino games, use virtual dealers to ensure that the games are close to the real casino experience.
It is clear that across all businesses the shift to providing a digital service that both replicates and streamlines regular services is picking up. Customers are the bloodline of any company, and keeping them happy is the key for firms to stay in business. This is the reason why interactivity is driving not only digital markets but also physical stores.

Don't be alarmed if you see this particular mosquito buzzing around this summer, because she's 100 percent Zika-free!
The only thing this mosquito's engorged with is regular old blood, so take a good look and remember this face!
Good news, Olympians: This mosquito's in Rio, but the worst you'll get from it is a bug bite. Good luck at the games!
Visiting the Everglades? Keep an eye out for this one. It might give you Saint Louis encephalitis, but as far as Zika's concerned, you've got nothing to fear.
This Adirondacks-based mosquito is certifiably free of Zika.
Feel free to bookmark this list or print it out and keep it in your wallet as a quick-and-easy reference for your mosquito encounters, at least until the world gets a handle on this epidemic.
Whoops! Someone got to this one before we did. Well, no Zika here, now or ever!
Hope these take some of the stress out of the summer. Stay safe out there!

Members of the JSTARS team join members of Fighter Wing Skrydstrup, Denmark, for a group photo in front of an E-8C Joint STARS, June 8, 2018. The teamwork demonstrates the interoperability among our units in Europe and cements our ability to assure our allies, respond to threats and ensure support to global operations. The JSTARS team consists of the Georgia Air National Guard's 116th ACW, plus active duty personnel assigned to the 461st ACW and Army JSTARS. They are in Denmark to participate in Exercise Baltic Operations, or BALTOPS, June 4-15 and Saber Strike 18 from June 3-15. JSTARS brings a unique, manned, joint airborne command control, intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capability to the exercises. During BALTOPS, the Georgia Airmen will join military forces from 17 nations to enhance flexibility and interoperability among allied and partner nations to strengthen combined response capabilities, as well as demonstrate international resolve to ensure stability in, and if necessary defend the Baltic Sea region. The Saber Strike exercise facilitates cooperation between the U.S., Estonia, Latvia Lithuania, Poland, and other allied and partner nations to improve joint operational capability in a variety of missions and prepare the participating nations and units for future operations while enhancing the NATO alliance.

It is a random weekend over here again.
A few thoughts, observations and interesting things from the week
all rolled into one.
A few thoughts, observations and interesting things from the week
all rolled into one.
Including flowers- especially on a chilly February day.
Flowers feel like a burst of Spring sunshine.
Flowers feel like a burst of Spring sunshine.
1. Rainy day
Yes, it has been raining over here.
As in- it is raining. A lot.
So, this weekend I am staying indoors near the fire and working
on getting a few posts photographed and ready for next week
and doing a little Spring cleaning.
Oh... and since I like to put up so many Christmas trees every year
and it definitely takes me just a little bit of time to get them all up,
I started putting the first one up the other day.
Just kidding.
I am working on a special styling project and it happens to involve
this amazingly gorgeous Balsam Hill flocked tree.

So... a little Falalalala...lalala..la
going on over here.
going on over here.
2. A Road Less Traveled
We took a road less traveled out in the wilderness the other day.
For the past couple of weeks, my husband, daughter and I have been taking off
driving out into the mountains or to a lake
or even just somewhere different in the middle of nowhere to do some hiking.
driving out into the mountains or to a lake
or even just somewhere different in the middle of nowhere to do some hiking.
This looked a little bit of a nothing road when we happened upon it-
so of course we followed it. You just never know...
|iphone photo
That little, barely traveled road led to a little area that was near the edge of a mountain
that was just a bit rocky, with a meadow to one side
and this random rocky pool of water on the other.
So crazy right? But so pretty.
You just never know where that road is going to lead.
3. Working on...
A post with turquoise green edged books and dried roses
Yes, turquoise green...
they are gorgeous and the story about them involves a yard sale
Coming your way this week.;)
4. Crazy for Cashews
Why? Why does my husband bring this home right after I made that decadent peanut butter cheesecake... and have been cutting back on delicious things like this?
Because he knew it would be amazing of course.
Have you tried it before? I am a little on the fence about it.
(which is not a bad thing right now)
It does taste amazing- and just like cashews but it might be a little too salty for me.
I will say though-I tried it spread on a piece of toast
and if that keeps up... I might be in trouble.
5. Thinking Spring
Over at Ebay the other day
I rounded up 3 simple and pretty looks for decorating a mantel for Spring.
Any idea which one is my favorite?
I am just starting to think about how I will decorate the mantels this year,
but I am pretty sure fresh flowers or plants of some kind will be involved.
but I am pretty sure fresh flowers or plants of some kind will be involved.
I hope all my friends affected by all the storms going on
are safe and sound.
Happy weekend everyone.

It is now 2016! People tend to think about what really matters to them and establish some goals and new direction at the beginning of a New Year. At LifePoint Church we are doing that as a leadership team. This is why my first read for 2016 was a booklet by Alexander Strauch entitled Biblical Eldership.[1] It is based on the author's full volume that bears the same title.
Church leadership and governance aren't typically at the top of people's priority list as they think about what really matters to them heading into a new year. LifePoint Church, though, is adamant about the church being the church! We aren't simply an organization, a movement, or a place where like-minded people get together to rally their cause. We are a church; a local expression of the body of Christ. We are the family of God, called by God to belong to him and to spread his gospel around the world.
In our insistence that the church be the church we recognize how important it is that something like church leadership and governance is done right. LifePoint Church is led by an elder team. They are a solid group of men whose lives reflect the gospel and who are committed to serving the church as biblical elders. In 2016 we are going to be digging deep into the biblical texts, church history, and books like Strauch's Biblical Eldership. This, so we can grow in our understanding of the Lord's ways and lead the church well.
For others who care about such things I recommend Strauch's work. He is sound in his exegesis of the biblical passages that deal with eldership and he had done his homework with regard to church history. The following are a couple of highlights to whet your appetite for the book:
According to the New Testament, elders lead the church, teach and preach the Word, protect the church from false teachers, exhort and admonish the saints in sound doctrine, visit the sick and pray, and judge doctrinal issues. In biblical terminology, elders shepherd, oversee, lead, and care for the local church. (7)
Biblical eldership, however, can't exist in an atmosphere of nominal Christianity. There can be no biblical eldership in a church where there is no biblical Christianity. (11)
The local church must in all earnestness insist on biblically qualified elders, even if such men take years to develop. (27)
Most important, biblical eldership guards and promotes the preeminence and position of Christ over the local church. (39)
Here's to a great year of exploration and growth as we serve our Lord together!

Invoice factoring, often called accounts receivable financing, allows business owners to finance outstanding invoices. We advance you cash collateralized by your unpaid invoices, giving you an excellent way to put money back into your business. With invoice factoring, you can get a fast advance of about 85% of the value of your invoices, with most of the other 15% paid to you later.
Maximum Loan Amount up to 100% of Value
Invoice factoring is a form of short-term borrowing that is extended by us to our business customers based on unpaid invoices.
Repayment when customer pays invoice
If you needed money to make payroll a week after sending out that invoice, then your accounts receivable fees don't seem too bad after all.
Fees Starting at 8%
Invoice factoring is very similar to invoice financing with one notable difference: the invoice factoring company is purchasing your accounts receivables.
Get Your Cash as fast as 1 Day
Once you agree to collateralize some of your invoices for a loan from us, we will advance you typically 85% of the total of those invoices.
Most customers approved for Invoice Factoring had:
Annual Revenue
Credit Score
1 Year
In Business
Who Qualifies for Invoice Factoring?
Any business with a business-to-business model can qualify for invoice factoring, as long as they currently have outstanding receivables. Cheddar don't care as much about your revenue, profitability, or time in business. Your invoices will act as the loan's collateral, we just want to make sure the invoices make sense for us to finance. The maximum amount you can qualify for depends on the total amount and quality of your invoices, as well as on your creditworthiness.
How to Apply for Invoice Factoring?
An invoice factoring application is a fast and simple process. Because your invoice determines the amount and terms of the financing you qualify for, the invoice itself will be the most important part of the application process.
How Does Invoice Factoring Work?
Cheddar Capital agrees to collateralize some of your invoices for a loan from our financing company, we'll advance you typically about 85% of the total value of those invoices. We'll charge a "factor fee" depending on how long it takes. We always calculate on a monthly basis and there is no time obligation.
What Will Invoice Factoring Cost You?
As we've mentioned, invoice factoring can be an expensive way to receive funding for your business. But it's essentially the cost of having cash on hand now, instead of later.
This group was professional, timely and was a pleasure to work with. The turnaround time was fast and even with my less than perfect credit record they had me funded in a few days. Two thumbs way up!!!

text: Matt Straw - November 27, 2017 Walleye Swim Jig Tricks For bass, swim jigs are pretty well accepted. A nose-forward eye on a bullet or fish-head style jig, a silicone skirt, and an action trailer. But the way it's fished is the key. It has universal appeal to predators of all sorts.Swim-jigging is a technique more than a style of lure. A jig-plastic combo designed for swimming, tailored to the species at hand, sized and hued to match the forage of that species, catches everything: big pike, bass, crappies, brown trout, redfish, and more.A walleye swim jig could be a hair jig, a jigworm, a soft-plastic swimbait weighted internally or externally, or just a plain plastic grub on a lead head from 1/16- to 3/4-ounce. Because it can mimic anything in color, shape, and motion, the walleye swim jig can be the most versatile tool in the box when casting is called for.This is the program: Cast and reel. Okay, in some cases, the combo is allowed to sink to or near bottom before a steady retrieve levels it on a horizontal plane. In that case, begin reeling slowly—just fast enough to keep it off bottom, but not so fast that it rises. Around cover, the jig is heavier, the rod tip held high, and the jig is reeled quickly over vegetation or wood. The only trick is keeping the lure on a horizontal plane. It shouldn't rise or fall during the retrieve. The lighter the jig, the more patience is required because the retrieve is slow. You rarely have to remember what you were doing with the jig when a walleye bit. You were reeling steadily, thinking about where to stop to eat on the way home. But artistry is involved. A jig that can't be kept off bottom is too heavy for the trailer or isn't being fished fast enough. Speed is something you have to think about every day; both drop speed and forward speed. When walleyes are nipping or not biting, a different jig weight can make a big difference. Often as not, walleyes respond to a change in speed, and going a little lighter or heavier can put fish in the net. Speed might be what separates the pros from the Joes most days, but differences in technique and jig styles arise even among the best anglers. Snap or Swim?Snap-rip-bomb. Jumping Jigging Raps, Shiver Minnows, jigs and plastics are the rage. But always the best approach?"Just trends," says successful walleye pro Tommy Skarlis. "We forget sometimes to dance with the one that brung us. Tried-and-true tactics. I've watched crappie experts fill their boats with sandbags to keep their rod tips steady when they pull tubes. That steady horizontal swim is deadly for all species. Aggressive presentations catch walleyes, sure. But slow, swimming presentations catch a lot of walleyes, too."Walleyes holding in eelgrass, cabbage, or woodcover expect minnows to swim casually past, Skarlis says. "Swim something slowly by that spot and walleyes charge out and hit it with aggression. It's like dragging livebait rigs. Sometimes a bait or lure making slow, steady progress is efficient because walleyes believe they haven't been 'made' as they creep up on their prey. If it hops, sometimes I believe walleyes feel their ambush opportunity is lost. I swim jigs by pulling them along with the rod tip as steady as possible at 0.3 mph. It takes a lot of patience to master the simple art of casting and reeling. But it works. Swimming a jig with a rod holder, just drifting, control-drifting, or pulling it slowly with the trolling motor works." Skarlis flavors his softbaits with Berkley Gulp! Alive! or PowerBait attractants. "I like scent or PowerBaits when swimming because it stacks things in your favor," he says. "Sometimes they knock the rod out of your hands when they won't touch an unscented bait. The keys in dirty water are scent and the bigger the better. Displacing water is critical. Going from 3-inch to 4- or 5-inch plastics or from 1/8- to a 1/4- or even 3/8-ounce jigs pushes more water and gives them more to see and feel. But bigger it is, the heavier it is, so the faster you have to swim it unless you're tightlining and pulling with the trolling motor."Swim it along the edges of vegetation or when trying to pull fish out of timber. It works from Wisconsin flowages to Dakota reservoirs. Walleyes are used to sitting in cover and seeing baitfish swim steadily past. Swim it at the correct speed and cadence and they rise to the occasion. I try to replicate what baitfish are doing when they don't think they're being seen. That's the key to swimming a jig. Minnesota Guide Tony Roach is an advocate of what he calls power-fishing with jig-plastic combos and Rapala Jigging Raps—when that's what walleyes want. But he admits there are times when they don't. "There's a time and place for varied approaches," he says. "Around thick vegetation, I do a lot of steady reeling. Hit plant stalks, give it a sharp snap, clear it, and a lot of times you trigger a strike. And on rocks, steady reeling can be highly effective. Walleyes let you know. If you're snapping along and catching nothing, slow swimming often works. For walleyes in particular, l like to put the trolling motor down and pull a jig-plastic combo. I don't want to call it trolling, but it's a steady, horizontal technique." Another reason to embrace a steady swim is a preponderance of snags and algae clinging to rocks. "When you don't want to touch bottom, steady retrieves work better," Roach says. "Keeps you in the water more, rather than picking mung. In tall cabbage stands with big pockets, I pick and choose spots where I can steadily retrieve through there about mid-water. Sandgrass, coontail, and eelgrass near bottom can be avoided by swimming lures from a few feet off bottom to just under the surface in heavy cover."Steady ToolsRoach emphasizes he doesn't always use softbaits. "Hair jigs can be great," he says. "I give them more body with a small chunk of plastic, threading it on the hook shank under the hair to bulk it up. That works well with a steady pull with the trolling motor. Small swimbait trailers also work well with hair jigs around thick cabbage. Pitching jigs with paddletails, ripping them through, but working the edges slowly and methodically tight to the edges entices strikes."Both anglers like to swim hair jigs. "I swim Hutch's Tackle hair jigs," Skarlis says. "I thread on a rib worm to create a buck-n-rubber jig. Hair fluffs out around the plastic and bulks the profile. A grub or soft jerkbait makes the hair flex on the swim."On shallow flats, Roach approaches inside weedlines by pitching a 1/16-ounce jig tipped with a swimbait 60 feet back and trolling at 1.4 to 1.6 mph. "I use these jigs like a shallow crankbait," Roach confides. "It's much more weedless than a crank. I like a Northland 3-inch Impulse Paddle Tail for that. On shallow flats with sparse vegetation I did more of that kind of trolling last summer than anything else and we did extremely well. That's not typical for me because I do a lot of open-water trolling, but it's simple for clients. You don't have to do much. Just hold on and wait for a bite." Whether casting or "just hanging on," Roach uses the same Wright & McGill, Tony Roach Signature, 7- or 7-foot 6-inch (WMTRW76C1T) spinning rods. "I like long rods with a little heavier power," he says. "You can use a baitcaster, too. I like to feel every weed, every tick, and to make sure you're not fouled, so I use 6- to 10-pound braid with a 10-pound fluorocarbon leader."Matching jigheads with softbaits is critical, too. Northland Slurp swimbait jigs have a heavy hook shank that restricts the action of a ring worm. Conversely, if you use a thin-gauged hook with a thick swimbait, you don't get the proper action, either. Jig weight and wire thickness are critical. When you rig a softbait, it has to be dead center or it may start to spin. Rig it properly and the jig runs true."For example, a Case Ringworm swims nicely on a Gopher Tackle Mushroom Head Jig with a long-shank, 2/0 Gamakatsu Hook. The same lure won't balance with the heavy shank on a Picasso Smart Mouth Plus Jig, which matches a Keitech Swing Impact swimbait."Worms and soft jerkbaits work fine on light, long-shank jigs," Roach says. "Not a small crappie jig, but a long-shank, 2/0 to 3/0 bass jig. A 4- to 5-inch softbait requires a longer shank. The resistance of the tail and the thickness of the plastic determines the thickness of the wire. Some clients— climb aboard not knowing how to rig plastics. Once I show them how to do it properly, their confidence level rises. I use ring worms a lot. You can swim them slowly, yo-yo the jig, troll, castvery versatile."In murky water, Skarlis favors 10-pound Berkley Trilene Braid or FireLine tied directly to the jig. "In clear water I tie a 4-foot, 8-pound fluorocarbon leader to the braid," he says. "I use a St Croix Legend Extreme 7-foot medium-fast rod. If I need to chuck long distances I use the 7-foot 6-inch St. Croix Eyecon EF76MLXF. With light jigs in clear water, I go with 6- to 8-pound Trilene XL in low-vis green." Skarlis likes to cast swimbaits on underspins, too. "I like the new Berkley PowerBait Pro Shad," he says. "You barely move it and the tail wiggles. And Berkley Gulp! Minnows on 1/4- to 3/8-ounce Blakemore Awesome Walleye Runners are a great match. The ball-bearing swivel allows the blade to turn at slow speeds. When swimming is the way to go, slow is key most days. When I have to go super slow, I use the Awesome Walleye Runner. The blade provides lift on the swim and you can get away with heavier heads."Forward speed and drop speed are factors you have to study every day. "In spring, it's slow on bottom with more pausing and dragging," Roach says. "As the vegetation develops, I do more combination retrieves with ripping. In fall, I slow back down as water temperatures drop to 50°F. I fish more slow, steady retrieves again. What I like about softbaits is you can fish a lot of different ways and be weedless. You can fish slow or fast, much faster than with livebait, covering water, picking off aggressive walleyes."Skarlis likes Berkley Rib Worms with a little curly tail when "less is more," he says. "The clearer the water, the faster you should move it and the more subtle everything has to be in terms of size, color, and action. That's when ring worms shine. Walleyes don't want bright colors or glow in clear water. You can troll it behind a planer board at 2 mph and I've seen a lot of trolling bites where they won't hit a crank but take a jig-plastic combo. In darker water, go bigger, with more action and a slower retrieve. Give them time to find it."The effectiveness of colors like green pumpkin and watermelon can't be undersold in clear water. Plastics traditionally considered "bass colors" or bass styles can put numbers of walleyes in the boat when visibility is 3 feet or more. Natural representations of perch colors can outfish firetiger patterns. Many anglers believe walleyes always want bright colors, so manufacturers give them what they want. Even in slightly murky water, a natural pattern like baby bass or Tennessee shad (green back/white belly) can trigger more strikes than a bright or fluorescent bait. Having it on a bright head is another matter. Most days jigheads with a color accent, just a splash of orange or chartreuse, provoke more attention than plain heads or bright-color ones.The vast array of sizes and patterns available today allows us to tailor colors to match predominant forage species. Select sizes according to the seasonal stage that forage is in. Tailor jig size for speed to match the mood of walleyes and access depths that approach the feeding stations they occupy. The walleye swim jig is as versatile as the kaleidoscope of jigs and bodies. It becomes a multi-faceted chameleon. The only common thread connecting all its disparate incarnations is horizontal progress.*In-Fisherman Field Editor Matt Straw, Brainerd, Minnesota, contributes to all In-Fisherman publications.

- Was invited to UDS and Prague. Quite different from conferences where I've been before (debconf, FOSDEM). Less time spent with one person presenting and rest of room listen, more time people discussing the topic of session. Atleast this was the case in the Mobile track I mostly followed.
- Testing scripts now consider Armel a Release architecture. \o/. The armel debian-installer should also be part of debian-installer beta2 really soon(tm) . Only getting testing-security running properly is tricky at the moment...

While I have your Attention, one of the most interesting ARM projects at the moment: beagleboard . There is _huge_ variety of ARM developer boards available, but this one has a couple of really interesting bits
- Powered by OMAP 3530, a 600MHz ARM Cortex A8 + kitchen sink chip. Most boards are either expensive or have a "bottom-of-line" cpu.
- Didn't I complain that TI isn't open enough? Well, since then TI now has released thousands of pages documentation for OMAP3, made omap 35xx available or purchase for anyone, and is even working to get DSP and 3D bits of OMAP3 available. And they go further - beagleboard documentation (link at bottom of elinux wikipage for boeagleboard) has everything including schematics.

Survive The Summer Slump
Jul 27
Ah! Summer! In Muskoka, this marks the short season where we do not have to clean off the windshields in the morning or think through snowploughs wreaking havoc on the end of our driveways just as we run out the door for work.
You would think with all the extra time and energy saved from fighting Jack Frost we would be extra productive and excited about our work. Think again! We do our best to take our work outdoors into the sunshine, to make the most of our weeknights and weekends but let's face it; many of us hit a summer slump.
So how do we combat this lack of motivation when all we want to do is sit on the beach? We've got a few ideas to get you back on track!
The season is here! Muskoka has started buzzing, and no – I'm not talking about the mosquitos, it's tourist season!
Many business owners in Muskoka rely on the tourism season and need to make the most of it while they can. To help you, we recommend focusing your marketing efforts on these four tourism-targeted strategies.
What is the first thing you notice about people?
The hair?
The eyes?
The shoes?
At what point during an initial introduction do you make your assessment or judgments about someone?
Is it the handshake or their general appearance?
Is it the words they speak or the way they conduct themselves?
Perhaps it is what you have heard about them from others?
Children are embarrassingly quick to judge new people. From running up and hugging a complete stranger in the store to screaming in panic when our kindly neighbour comes over for a chat, kids can make you scratch your head!
You know when you get stuck talking to someone, and they take forever to get to the point? If they are family we usually tolerate it, if they are friends we extend patience, but if they are strangers, or worse, salespeople we shut them right down.
The same is true for our online message. If we take too long to get to the point or answer the question, we get shut down. Our websites need to be quick, relevant and build the respect of our viewers.
If you are anything like me sometimes you need just an extra little boost to jumpstart your day. But beyond caffeine (or a triple espresso) here are 5 proven strategies to get you moving and feeling more productive.

A Different Kind of Design Company

For the last few years I have wanted to work with the Orillia based film company, Flypress Films. The only problem was that I didn't want to create a standard business promotional video, we really wanted our story to be authentic and a true representation of our company. It took a while for us to figure out how we wanted the story to go, but we finally did it!

Okay, so you want to update your own website… right? Great! Now there is a lot you should know about the responsibility that comes with the ability to do so.
First, let me start by saying that most people who have websites and a Content Management System (CMS) do not actually need one. There are very few people and businesses I know or have worked with that actually update their websites. Why? Because it's a lot of work and once your website is live; unless you're blogging or running an online store, chances are that you won't feel the need to change or update anything (unless you have someone else design it!).
What does this mean?

How a Good Graphic Designer Can Go a Long Way in Helping You Re-Brand
Rebranding is a tricky proposition. There are countless examples of when a rebrand has turned the fortunes of a company around. You only have to look at Harley Davidson, Burberry, McDonald's and Target to know how powerful a change of brand focus can be. On the other side of the coin there are many examples of rebrands that have proven disastrous. Some notable examples are BP, Cardiff City football club, Kraft Foods and Royal Mail.
It is easy to fall into the trap of thinking that the rebrand of your company is all about jumping in and changing logo.

Anyone who knows me is aware of how much I love what I do. My mind never rests and I always have ideas on how my clients (or prospective clients) can improve their businesses. That being said, not everyone is open to change or growth. It sounds strange, but it's true.
Thankfully, Katie Wilmshurst is not one of those people.

I have been wanting to do a post about this for a few months now, but have not had the time to do so. Lately the problem seems to be getting worse with more unwanted "spam" solicitations about Search Engine Optimization and Cheap Web Design. Personally, I find it amusing being a web designer myself that I am being targeted constantly with endless emails about how to improve my Google Rankings or how to get a Cheap "Professional" Website for under $500.

Am I alone in my thinking? Has anyone else noticed that customer service seems to have fallen by the wayside. Maybe I'm old school in my thinking, but I don't believe so. A customer paying for your service should expect to be treated a certain way and to be reasonably satisfied with your end product or service. If they are not, then it should be your job to do what you can to ensure they are looked after to the best of your ability.

I have been designing and developing websites for just over six years and one thing I have noticed that separates me from the rest of my competition is my desire to ensure my clients have control and ownership of their domains and websites. Being a small business owner myself, I understand the importance of something so small being so big.

If this is happening to you,
- Take an inventory of the situation by writing down actions you can control and actions you cannot.
- Mentally 'let go' of all those things you can't control.
- Focus on what you can control and map out the steps you are going to do next to help resolve the situation.
- Take the time and space necessary to decrease your emotions and objectively think through your next realistic step.
You have a choice to stay in misery or happiness. What will you choose?
If you observe a disrespectful situation,
- Approach the individual and talk through what you are observing. "I am sensing that you are struggling with your working relationship with _____? Are my observations correct?"
- Once you gain more clarity on situation, help them 'think out loud' about the next best to take to help them overcome the obstacle.
- If the person is unable to talk through the situation, suggest connecting at another time to check in more regularly.
- Listen to your gut. If you sense something is not right, keep the conversation going.

Dental X-ray
Dental X-ray
X-ray examinations of the teeth and face are a dentist's important tool for diagnosis and follow-up of treatment. Different types of X-ray examinations of the teeth are performed at approximately 2,000 locations around Finland.
The number of dental X-ray examinations is high compared to the number of all X-ray examinations, but they concern a small region and cause a relatively small radiation dose to the patient. X-rays are always taken at the dentist's discretion and decision, and they are not made routinely without a patient-specific consideration of necessity.
Dental X-ray appliances
Dental X-ray examinations are performed using a dental X-ray device that images using an intraoral image sensor (intraoral X-ray device), panoramic radiography devices and cephalostats and cone beam computed tomography systems (CBCT device).
In an intraoral X-ray device, the image is recorded on film or digital image sensor placed inside the mouth. The device is used for imaging individual or a few adjacent teeth. The radiation dose caused to the patient from one image is around 0.01 millisievert (mSv), which equals approximately 24 hours' exposure to environmental background radiation. The recent digitalisation of dental X-ray equipment has decreased the radiation dose from intraoral imaging in particular. There are approximately 4,800 intraoral X-ray devices in use in Finland, and the annual imaging volume is approximately 2.3 million images.
In a panoramic radiography device, the radiation source, or the X-ray tube, and image scanner rotate diametrically in a semicircle around the patient's head, which makes it possible to image all teeth in a single image. It is important from the point of view of the photo succeeding that the patient is positioned correctly using the indicator lights in the device. The radiation dose in panoramic imaging is approximately 0.02 mSv, equal to the environmental background radiation exposure during a couple of days. There are approximately 700 panoramic radiography devices in use in Finland, and they currently perform approximately 400,000 examinations a year. A cephalostat can be added to the panoramic radiography device, if necessary. Cephalostat is an additional head-positioning device used when taking lateral images of the skull. These images can be used for assistance in orthodontic treatment, for example. The radiation dose from a single lateral cranial image is under 0.01 mSv.
Radiation protection
In oral X-ray examinations, the thyroid gland is the most important organ to be protected from the point of view of protecting the patient from radiation. The thyroid gland is protected by a special lead collar if it does not interfere with the actual examination. Lead protection for shoulders can be used in panoramic radiography. A foetus' exposure to radiation in dental X-ray examinations is very low. A lead apron placed on the abdomen therefore does not have a significant shielding effect, but one may be used.
The need for radiation protection in the imaging room is influenced by, for example, the frequency of use of the X-ray appliance, radiation output of the device, size of the radiation beam and imaging directions, as well as the location of the X-ray device in the room and the purpose of use of the rooms surrounding the imaging room. In the case of intraoral and panoramic devices, the existing structures of the room (such as brick walls) are in many cases sufficient structural radiation protection. If the structures are deemed to be insufficient, the radiation protection of walls or parts of the walls has to be strengthened.
Employees performing dental X-ray examinations must protect themselves from radiation. The minimum distance from the patient and the radiation source in intraoral and panoramic tomography imaging is two metres. Moving behind a partition wall for the duration of imaging is usually sufficient radiation protection.
