...I can remember the day I caught my first trout on ultra light rod when I was three.It was a 20 in rainbow and I still have that fish on my wall. My dad has been trout fishing all his life and he kept the tradition of the first day going with my brother and I. We like fishing later in the year because there isn’t as many people around and a lot of times you have a creek full of fish to yourself. Later in the year the leaves are starting to change color it smells great like fresh wild air. The water is pretty warm but starting to get colder and when it’s hot out I can taste the salty sweat. Now it was just four years ago when I was 10 that I got something I will always remember and always will have. My dad is about 5’9 dark hair,and loves to...

...Beaver Well hello there. I’m a beaver, one of the biggest rodents in the world. I weigh about 60 pounds, and come in two different species that live in the woods and wetlands of North America, Europe, and Asia. The first thing you’ll probably notice about me is my big, paddle-shaped tail. It’s true, I can look a little wobbly when I waddle over land, but in the water, I’m as graceful as a fish. My special tail and webbed hind feet act like a rudder and fins to help me swim, and my soft, glossy brown fur is waterproof so I never get chilly, even in really cold water. And that’s important, because I need freshwater to survive. If I find a lake, pond, or river that looks like a nice place to live, I’ll just burrow into a side bank to make my...

...Younger children cannot take care of animals as easy as adults can. They can still have a loveable animal that they can enjoy. Among your basic household pet, the one that doesn’t require extensive or daily care and can be a loveable friend is best to be considered as a house pet for young children. In my opinion I feel that would be a smaller dog like the Samoyed Staffordshire. Not only are they good in size, but they are also more fun and affectionate than most cats, fish, and birds. Medium and larger dogs may also be affectionate towards children, but due to their size they may overwhelm a small child. The Samoyed Staffordshire does require daily care as every other dog, but does not have an odor or much dander and shedding. Therefore they are great for people with allergies and do not require much grooming. They also have to be fed, watered, and walked daily. In maintaining daily care they will maintain an overall good health. This will also result in children being able to have a furry friend for a lot longer. Lastly they love to be played with every day. Children will especially love this. That is why the Staffordshire is gentle, great with kids, and extremely affectionate. Though it’s not just the small dogs are great with the kids. The Boston terrier has more of a medium size build. Although also requiring daily care, the terrier, has to have minimal grooming, but is difficult to house break. That could be difficult for children to manage and would definitely require...

As a current college student myself, I understand that university life is a non-stop whirlwind of classes, sports, clubs, work, random shenanigans, and excessive fraternization with the opposite sex. Trust me, I get it. I also understand that learning how to strategically and consistently incorporate healthy options while enjoying the benefits of college may appear to be a near impossibility. Fortunately, this couldn’t be further from the truth. While most college students undoubtedly want to maintain a healthy diet, I believe the large majority of them are more or less uncertain as to which foods provide the greatest benefit. In an attempt to educate my readers and make healthy eating as simple as possible, I have created this...

...I still couldn't push my mind past a planes ability to land and take off from the water. My pilot sure pushed the limits on my nerves. We shot off the water a couple of feet above the treeline. Deep into the clouds, we rose further into the unknown. The flashes and beeps of the old 1973 float plane. I must say it only took him a few pulls of the prop to get that engine rolling. It was so loud being in the front seat, I couldn't hear my music with the aggressive buzz of the blade running through my body. Sitting up front was the peak of my worries; being able to see the thunderstorms dumping rain on portions of undiscovered landscape, painted with the blue and green of trees and giant lakes. I could see the fog storm glaring at me as we gained...

...Responding with Memoirs The first time that I was introduced to unfamiliar food would be the first time I ate fish. I was at my best friend’s house and her mom had made dinner. Now for most that’s not too bad but after growing up in my family ever since I could remember our only pets were fish since the places we lived would not allow us to get bigger animals. I grew to identify that fish are pets even if they are not very good one or very fun at all. Either way I see fish as something to have around the house that you take care of and not as food. To say the least it was an immense shock would be putting it lightly, to be served a meal of mainly fish, especially seeing it how it was placed on the plate still entirely whole which made me actually have Goosebumps. As the plate was served to me I was completely and utterly speechless, and in a very unfortunate situation. I did not want to appear rude by refusing the meal, seeing as how a fish doesn’t really overwhelm most people as most households normally serve fish sticks, or fish prepared in different ways. Yet I knew with every fiber of my being I did not want to even touch my meal with a 10 foot pole. All I could do was stare which as many individuals know the when dealing with the whole mind over matter thing, staring at the object which is causing you distress can make the whole situation go from bad to worse. I was at a loss, so I turned to my best friend for help or guidance on what I should do, without insulting her mother’s...

...My furry navigators snoring loudly, I was thankful I didn't need help finding my way to the reservoir. I drove the windy scenic road that heads through Straight Canyon to the reservoir. There were vehicles at nearly every pullout for Cottonwood Creek, either bouldering or fishing, so I decided to forego fishing the creek this time and head right to the campground. As it was last year, the campground was empty, only a small portion of it is open during the spring with no water available. After driving the short loop, I decided to pick site 7, the same site we had set up on the previous year's trip. A cute little ground squirrel was checking us out from the fire pit as I was getting the dog tie outs, camp chair and dog beds laid out. I...

Rubio’s has a vast array of ingredients there are 7 proteins you can choose: chicken, steak, shrimp, mahi (blackened/grilled), salmon (blackened/grilled), tilapia (blackened/grilled), and lastly Rubio’s famous beer battered fish. There is a wide selection on the menu: tacos, enchiladas, burritos, bowls, and salads if you are an indecisive and picky person this isn’t the best place for you, Chipotle might be a better choice for you. My favorite thing to get on my break is a special burrito I made it’s the same ingredients as a gourmet taco, but instead of a taco it’s a burrito that contains: cheese, Mexican rice, pinto beans, chipotle white sauce, steak, avocado slices, and bacon....

...In a 2008 interview for a British radio station, the rapper Kanye West compared his contribution to music to Michael Jordan’s contribution to basketball with the announcement: "I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation. Of this decade, I will be the loudest voice.”i The public responded to West with outright rejection. A notorious South Park episode titled “Fish Sticks” portrays West as the only person in the world too dumb to understand a joke who repeatedly calls himself the “genius voice of a generation,” poking fun at both his egotistic personality and his lack of skill at giving interviews.ii The well-known entertainment blog The Mo’Kelly Report snapped, “Don’t compare yourself to Michael Jordan if...

...inspiring smorgasbord of best Malaysian food eye candy and travel adventures!” We Malaysians are a lucky lot. Here in our multiracial community, we have exposure to all sorts of cuisine. Chinese, Indian, Malay.. you name it, we have it. Some of these ethnic cooking styles might be more bland or less spicy than others, but I have to say that all are equally interesting in their own way. Here are 10 of my own personal favourites, but if I had my way it, would be 20 ! 1. Banana Leaf Banana Leaf One of the great south Indian cuisines we have the privilege of eating on a daily basis should we chose is, of course, Chettinad cuisine. Chettinad cuisine is the cuisine of the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu state in South India. If you love rice, you will definitely love the Banana Leaf Rice. In banana leaf rice, white rice is served on a banana leaf with an assortment of vegetables, curried meat or fish, pickles, and the super addictive papadum ( look like giant, round, flat crisps). Most of the time, however, only the gravy of the curry will be served and no meat is served as it is meant to be a traditional Indian vegetarian dish but since I am no vegetarian, I love mine with mutton redang and dry chicken curry! This meal can get really sloppy since it is traditionally eaten with the hand, but most of us have this down to a fine art! 2. Nasi Dagang Nasi Dagang – Malaysian Food No Malaysian...

... succeed, never cared about succeeding; the character failed in a big way because it was a story about failing; the point was not to advise the reader ‘don’t do it like this’; the point was, ‘there are important lessons people should learn about failure and humiliation. Answer Both the stories, Old Man and the Sea and Fear and Trembling have similarities. The main character go through hardships, suffering till the end, Santiago with catching the fish but losing it and Amelie getting hired at Yumimoto as a translator ends up cleaning bathrooms there. I believe that Hemingway never really cared about succeeding. I agree that the character failed in a big way but the point was not to advise the reader ‘don’t do it like this’; the point was, ‘there are important lessons people should learn about failure and humiliation.’ Santiago does not catch a single fish for consecutive eighty-four days and then when he goes determined that he must, he does. But if Hemingway showed that Santiago caught the fish after three days of non-stop struggle and came back a hero, it would end up being just like every other story, a cliché. These kinds of stories are what bores people because not only is it unrealistic but many cannot relate to it. Not every...
