Steelhead fishing?

I would like to try fly fishing for Steelhead this fall and was wondering what wt. fly rod would be recommended? The heaviest rod that I own is a 6wt. I guess that I could fish a 7wt. on this rod if I had to. Would a floating line work or would you recommend a sinking line? Thanks for any recommendations.


My theory: The four paths

Hello

We know the sympathetic nervous systems four modes (Especially in PSTD) in reaction to stress. Fight, flight, freeze, fawn. I believe people are sorted out onto these four modes. So they are worlds that describe the workings of the mind.

I believe the first one, fight, is related to warriors. These warriors are samurais and not ronins. The emotion related to it is respect. Like they say, strength and honor. These warriors have strength, tremendous ammounts of strength and respect (honor is respectable). These warrios serve the devil. And that is not bad, because the world is inverted, making the devil God. And God the devil.

I believe the second one, flight, is the next up in queue. It is related to broken warriors. The emotion related to it is fear. They no longer got honor (never back down, as the Tiger Kung Fu is about never backing down or surrendering, everyone starts as Tiger when child until he is broken). They surrender their will to the God's ruthless regime.

I believe the third one in queue is freeze. This is the prison. You get served emptiness in the prison and nothing so you externally fall down, and eventually what is external becomes internal. The emotion here is nothing. And people in avoidance of this nothingness they start dreaming. Enlightened people don't dream.

I believe the fourth one in queue, fawn, is the weaklings reaction when he experiences emptiness and starts fawning to the stronger ones or the authorities. The feelings related to it is love. ... The thing is, why do you love your woman (the authority)? Because she comes to you or because you go to her?

I believe further that the first two (respect and fear) are related to believers. Believers, not in the traditional sense, are warriors. So either you respect the believers authority or you are discommunicated and banished and sent to exile and have to know fear, until you break or get crazy and lost. ... And the other two, nothingness (prison) and love are related to the secular world. You get sent to prison if you don't obey the authority and it is not allowed to die. Death is punishable, they used to say but it is futile to punish suicide attempts, so they started saying that it is shunned.

Peace

A Little Help Please

When posting, I'm trying to respond to (more than) one quote in the same message I'm creating ... I post a quote, say a few words, then go back to the forum to find another quote in the same thread.

When I click on quote, it brings me to a "new message"... not back to where I was.

Cant find a "save" button to go back to the original message I'm writing...

What's the drill...?

Dojo Check

So, my lovely lady has decided to join the Jiu Jitsu society (Celebrates) at her university, Chester. It describes itself as 'street survival' which made me want to check their website and facebook. just wondering if anybody knows anything about them? They say their head instructor is 'ex armed response' and teaches to 'law enforcement throughout the world'.

I've said to her to try it out, but any advice would be useful thanks, as I may not be able to check it out myself, and I probably still couldn't judge how good it is anyway.

Bench Press Issues

I'm currently in a phase where I'm keeping the weight lifting minimal and focused on gaining strength as I'm losing body fat. It's been working well so far but I'm running into a major issue with bench press and am wondering if anyone might have some insight.

I've never been big into bench press. The most I've been able to press was 275lbs and that was probably around 10 years ago. I've never really gave a damn about my chest. That said I've been working on bench press this last year as I've been getting back into fitness.

My routine is simple, 5x5 going up 10lb increments each set, and the first set goes up 5lbs after completing the 5x5 at the initial starting weight twice. So for example I started doing 5x5 with 165lbs on the first set, and as the sets go on I would finish at 205lbs. Currently I am at a starting weight of 175 lbs, with the last set ending at 215 lbs.

The issue I'm having is with my shoulders. The weight I'm doing isn't really heavy as much as it's hard, and most of that is attributed to poor experience with the lift. I injured myself bench pressing 225lbs a few months ago where my shoulder popped out of socket and put me out for a good month. As I've been increasing the weight in my bench press, I'm feeling a lot of strain on my shoulders (specifically my left) where it feels like the same "out of socket" thing is about to happen. The issue doesn't feel like the shoulder itself, but more around the scapula and the top end of the humerus bone. I'm looking for advice on what the issue may be here, because I really have no clue.

As far as my form goes, I shifted to a narrower grip that I hoped would prevent the shoulders from being an issue but it doesn't seem to have helped. I bring the bar down to where my solar plexus is, approximately 2 inches below the nipples.

I'm guessing this is an issue with the rotator cuffs or some supporting muscle group, and I've started doing band work for the cuffs. I honesty have no clue in this area. Any help is appreciated : P

Selling on Ebay

Bit of an odd topic perhaps....

But have any of you done a bit of selling on eBay? Any general tips or information you can share?

I've bought a fair bit of vinyl off eBay and come across a fair amount of scammers (bootlegs and reissues being sold as first pressings etc, condition not being as good as listed etc etc), but never sold anything, so it's all new!

But anything I should know as a seller?

------

(Unnecessary details)

I used to buy a ton of magazines (music stuff, tattoo mags, FHMs etc, board sports, H&F/body building) and now have a fair few boxes of the damn things filling up the basement. I was going to bin them or burn them, but decided to stick them on eBay for a couple of euros. I had a look around eBay last night and found that some of the magazines are going for a couple of quid, but a lot are going for 15 or 20! I dunno if people actually pay that, but that's the price.

If I could get a bidding war between two Japanese guys for an FHM with Carmen Electra on the front, who knows....I could buy those stupidly expensive camera lenses I want!


Question for instructors here

Hello, comrades!

I was playing the role of sempai in bokken sparring today. I was trying to teach my rohai an intermediate/advanced box pattern. For some reason, no matter how I tried, he got hopelessly lost in the pattern-made lots of wrong and poorly timed steps and constantly fluctuating timing. :bang: I tried 1) going through the pattern very slowly as both defender and attacker and 2) pointing out how other students were doing it properly.

I feel like I failed in my job, and I'd like to do better next time. Thanks! :hat:


Most influential martial artist of the century

Within 100 years who do you think gets top billing in terms of influence and why?


Bahad Zubu U.S.

Hello All!

I would like to announce that BahadZubu Midwest (which includes three instructors: Cutler Dozier (Me),Mark Basel, and Federico Malibago) is now the official Bahad Zubu headquarters for the whole United States. For those who don't know Bahad Zubu is the art of GM Yuli Romo who studied directly under Tatang Ilustrisimo for decades.

Those who know FMA know that affiliations come and go. But I am still proud to represent an art I truly love.

Best,

BZ


Future of kung fu

There have probably been threads on this topic before, but for some reason I've been noticing a lot more of it recently, particularly with the following video and article which seem to be getting around on Facebook at the moment:


http://ift.tt/2cETs9p

It's the same old story... various people lamenting the fall in popularity of traditional Chinese martial arts (particularly in their traditional "homeland" of China and Hong Kong) and wondering about its future.

Personally, while I am pretty sure that traditional Chinese martial arts are indeed less popular now than a few decades ago, they are still very much alive and popular on a global level. Maybe not healthy as effective fighting arts, but the tradition of practicing and "handing down" arts doesn't seem to be showing any sign of vanishing, in my opinion.

As a bit of a counter to the doom and gloom, I recently came across this fun promo video for a university kung fu club in Taiwan:


Ok, not the most traditional kung fu, but it's nice to see young people enjoying themselves with it.

I'd be interested to read what others' thoughts on the topic are. What shape might we see kung fu in come the next generation, when our sifus are retired and it is some of us or our peers trying to pass things on?


Lower back exercises

I was wondering if anyone here has tips on how to strenghten lowe back muscles.

I have curved back and I decided it would not be a bad idea to do something about it. When I was a teenager, I had a scoliosis. I was going to a doctor to show me some exercises. I'm not sure if I still have scoliosis even now (although I may), my bigger problem (at least I think) is what I found is called saddleback or too pronounced lordosis. I've always had my buttocks too pronounced and I have a hard time getting my spine straight, be it while standing on lying on the floor. Recently my kobudo teacher keeps reminding me to not stick the butt out and to align the back so I don't have pains later. But it's easier said than done. I just can't. And when focusing on it, when tired and lifting something heavy, I tend to compensate the weight by curving the lower back even more. I don't have any pains, exept sometimes after a night's sleep on my matress that I'm going to change soon.
But I wonder: does anyone have tips on how to strenghten the lower back musles? Which is probably what should help... I googled a little, but I mostly found only stretches (some of which I do anyway) or stuff like squats, push-ups etc., which is something I do as well, though can do more. And I didn't see any difference in these few years. I know the obvious choice if I really want to do something about it would be to visit a specialist, but I'd rather (at least at first) tried some exercising at home. So I also don't mean deadlifting or working with big weights. Any thoughts would be most appreciated. :)


Madawaska campsites?

I paddled in last fall from Quebec brook. Got to Madawaska just as it was getting dark. Had to turn around and head back to our site on the river. Any campsites on the pond? I checked out a spot just off the road where to river comes in. It looked nice, but not sure if it is a legal spot?


Help Getting Started With Compassing

Looking to move on up to an Adult compass, lol. Currently I just carry a basic crappy cheapo that does me good enough because I am generally following well marked trails in areas I am familiar with. As I have been branching out into newer and deeper territories, I am looking to upgrade my compass and learn how to properly use it. I think I understand the basic skills, but want to upgrade my gear and really hone it in.

Product selection.I have found a few selections but I would like to hear opinions on these or other products. I don't want to break the bank, but I also want to make sure that I purchase a quality product...I have heard talk about Silvas..I have found two, the Lensatic 360

and the Explorer,

both right around $20...

Currently massdrop is offering a Suunto MC-2 for $37.00 http://ift.tt/2dHnVne ...

Seeing as this is new territory for me, any help or direction (no pun intended) on which products I should be looking at and any material to start reading to learn how to properly use a map and compass would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Where to look/how to keep an eye out for self defense seminars near me?

I live near Boston so I'm sure there are occasionally reasonable/good SD seminars given...

Here is some background, and then I'll list what my goals are with this.

Background:
- Training jiu jitsu (modernized style incorporating boxing strikes (as well as other strikes) and emphasizing closing the distance and rapidly overwhelming opponents. So throws/joint locks/limb breaks/strikes/ground work.
- The gym I train at doesn't have resisted sparring until you hit brown belt.
- Very light coverage of self defense aspects:
- No discussion of the law
- Some work at middle belt ranks on diffusing situations, but not much. (I am lower belt, so haven't hit this yet, but my impression is it is not very in-depth.)
- No discussion of appropriate force levels, though occasionally we learn a less-violent technique alongside more violent ones, and the sensei mentions things like family reunions where somebody had too much to drink, etc, for using the less violent techniques. (E.g., learning standing headlock defenses, most of them involve potentially damaging strikes to the opponent and some involve throws/etc, but then we learn one that isn't going to cause much damage for use in the 'family reunion' type situation.)

My goals:
- Better understanding of the law. (I have read the laws for my state, but could probably use some expert instruction on some nuances.)
- Learn what information I should include when reporting an incident to police, including things I should try hard to remember during an incident.
- Practice diffusing situations against different types of aggressors
- Learn anything else I need that I currently don't know I don't know.


Any way, if you lived near Boston, how would you go about finding out about SD seminars/classes/etc? Once I find some how do I judge whether they are going to help with my goals?

Sorry if this seems like a silly question; I can Google for "boston self defense seminars", but that just returns a bunch of martial arts places.

Will sell all for $80 firm. Can ship at your cost ($15 probably) or possibly meet at a convenient Capital Region-Saratoga location. If you are looking for these, you know Microspikes have their limits as I found at certain inclines. Private message back please.


Pharoh Lake

HI All,

I haven't been to the Pharoh Lake Trail in several years- and never to paddle the lake. I remember there was a section driving in to the trailhead that would flood/ generally be in poor condition..
When I look at the DEC map of the area now it looks like you need to park before this area? which would make the carry to the lake ~3.3 miles?

Is this correct or can I drive in further with high clearance 4WD to shorten the carry?
I assume this is mostly wheelable?

Thanks!

Peaked Hill (Paradox Lake) 9/28/16

I bush-whacked up the north side of Peaked Hill from Johnson Pond Hill (instead of taking the state trail from north shore of Paradox Lake which requires a canoe ride).
Best views are not from the summit, but from ledges due south of the top. I think people who take the trail tend to miss them.

Lake Placid Area; Grouse

It looks like I'll be in Lake Placid over Thanksgiving and free on "Black Friday" to roam the woods. I'm not familiar with the area all that much so I'm soliciting suggestions for a day hike in an area that might harbor some grouse. Something off the heavily trodden path or even a bushwhack so I can bring along my 410. I'd appreciate any suggestions or two. Feel free to PM me.

Thanks for the consideration...


Cobble Mt Upper Jay 9/28

Took another Telemark Mike suggestion and hit this today.About 1.7 miles in from the end of pavement on Bartlett Rd there is a pull off on L,herd path starts 50 yards downhill on R.When the path/woods road seems to end look uphill towards the ledges and you'll see a path,faint at times but uphill is your friend.The summit has several open ledges and a interesting driftwood forest,I expected a whack but I'll take a herd path when it offered.http://ift.tt/2c3KQFj Some pics.


Racket Pond, LGWF, 28 Sep, 2016

Today, I took advantage of some great early fall weather to do a solo wander to Racket Pond in the northern part of the Lake George Wild Forest, near Brant Lake. After a kidney jarring two-mile trip up Lily Pond Rd., I arrived at the parking area just as the fog was burning off the lake (photo 1). As I suited up and walked down the foggy trail, the sun came out and rapidly warmed things up.

Arriving at the first trail junction at the far end of the pond, I peeled off a layer and turned left on the main trail for a couple hundred yards, then turned left on the "northern loop" to Buttermilk Pond. The wide trail was in great shape (photo 2). I did notice quite a bit of flagging and marking from the SAR efforts that were conducted there back in November of 2015. That's sure some rugged ground to do a search grid. My hats off to Wildrns and all the folks that conducted that search.

The snowmobile trail was a delight to walk as it passed evidence of a farmstead from days gone by. Stone walls/piles, clearings, skinny trees and a large stone foundation helped pass the time as I worked my way to the next junction where I turned left again to make the final one mile approach to Buttermilk Pond on a poorly marked, but easy to follow trail. Except for one steep pitch, this trail was very pleasant to walk (photo 3). In about half an hour, I came to the south shore of Buttermilk Pond and stopped to enjoy the sights and have a snack (photo 4).

My next explore was to check out the designated campsite on the rocky point on Buttermilk's western shore. While researching this hike, SLIM showed a path to the point. However, there's no path, just very faint ATV tracks with lots of beaver cuttings. It wasn't that hard to find my way and soon I was enjoying the sun and some lunch on the rocky point (photo 5). From the top of the rocks, I could see where Rivet was the other day on Spectacle Pond Hill.

After exploring (and cleaning) the designated campsite, I headed off for the short bushwhack to Racket Pond. In about ten minutes of walking through some very pretty woods, I came to the swampy shore of Racket Pond. I poked around a little bit, finding one very old campfire ring and a nice pine-covered point with a good view (photo 6). I must have scared up a dozen ducks at the pond before I had to head back.

Retracing my steps brought me around to Buttermilk Pond where I got back on the snowmobile trail. A mile or so down the trail, I came back to a familiar junction. Here, I took a left turn towards Duck and Round Ponds. My latest "Discover" guidebook says this is a very overgrown trail and the authors weren't kidding. Within 200 yds, the trail plunged into a nasty cedar swamp and didn't emerge until .8 miles later at Duck Pond. This would be a very wet trail to hike in the spring.

Strangely, Duck Pond (photo 7), was the only body of water where I didn't see a duck today. After cleaning up a few beer cans, I walked the short path to the designated campsite on Round Pond (photo 8). In the past, this place was always a wreck. Today, I searched high and low and only found two Bud Light cans by the shore. Whoever cleaned this up did a great job! :clap:

I secured my load of garbage from Buttermilk, Duck and Round Ponds and headed back through the SAR grid flagging and soon arrived at the shores of Lily Pond. While enshrouded in fog this morning, the sun was out in full force, making for a great walk down the short trail to the parking area (photo 9). While cleaning up some more trash at the lakeshore campsite, I realized how beautiful Lily Pond really is (photo 10). What a great day to be wandering around the woods.

train at Lila

I was at Lila the other day and heard a train whistle twice. What train is running through there again?


Hoel to Long Pond

I have never done this through paddle before so I thought it would be a good day to give it a go. I have been to Slang from Long Pond before and Turtle from Hoel but ever through all four in one shot.

I had hoped on a 7am start but didn't get on the water until after 9:30. I first dropped the Hornbeck off at Hoel then drove to Long Pond access to drop off the truck. I then rode my bike back to Hoel where I locked it up to a tree.
I put my waist high waders on along with the PFD and was finally on my way.

There was barely any wind and the sky was beautiful with a 60 degree air temperature. I made it to the culvert in short time and chose to forgo the up and over the RR track carry and pull the boat through the dry culvert. Easy stuff.

Paddled through Turtle and was at the outlet in short order. The outlet was a little scratchy and had to walk a little before paddling on to Slang. Slang is the prettiest of the first three with a great view of Long Pond Mountain. Site #1 was occupied and #2 was open. I have stayed at both in the past and each one is very nice and worthy.

The carry from Slang to Long was easy and once at Long I had a lunch of sardines, apricots and an apple. My plan was to hike Long Pond Mountain but since my departure time was set back I decided to paddle on and check out the campsites on Long Pond. I was surprised to see that quite a few of the old sites on some of the points were still allowed open by DEC. I thought more would have been closed.

I continued on to the take out checking out the loons, mergansers, kingfishers and the occasional bass breaking water. Nice day and saw just three other paddlers. A little early for prime foliage but the maples are showing their reds.

This is a popular paddle and I know many on this forum have paddled and camped on it but it is worthy of repeat performances.

Sorry, no photos. I can't locate my SD card reader or the camera cable.


UFC 205

This is probably the best card in the history of combat sports, so many belt holders, previous holders, and top ranked contenders fighting.

Any thoughts on the outcomes?


Autumn Overnighting in Eastern High Peaks

Hi there! I'm a longtime forum-lurker and as I have learned tons from just reading and you've all inadvertently helped me plan plenty of hikes, I'd love to pick your wise brains on a trip I'm planning for next week -- I've got some time off during the week and would like to take advantage of the early fall weather, minus the weekend traffic, to revisit the Marcy Dam area and hike a couple of not-too-tough peaks with my dog. I'm planning to spend a few days and nights hiking and camping. I'm somewhat familiar with the area, but I don't get up there as often as I'd like and have only done day hikes there.

My plan so far is to hike in from the Loj parking lot, set up camp near Marcy Dam or Avalanche Camp, hike up Phelps and back to camp, then on day 2 either hike up Wright or Colden via Lake Arnold (I'd like to keep the approach easy on my dog), head back to camp for the night, and then out and back to my car in the morning for the next leg of my trip elsewhere in the park.

So my question is: is it cool to leave my tent up in the same spot over 2 nights, in terms of both taking up space, and security of my stuff? If so, any advice for the best spot to shoot for? (And if not, how might I plan differently/better?)

Thanks!


Help replacing bike saddle

Hello,

I need to replace the saddle on my bike because something got in my shed and destroyed the one that is currently on the bike. I have a new saddle. But, when I tried to remove the old saddle, I couldn't loosen the f*&#ing bolt. I am using a 6 mm allen wrench. I sprayed it with WD40 and tapped it lightly with a hammer, but it won't budge. Any suggestions? Should I just replace the whole seat post?

Kids MMA / TKD / Krav Maga classes in Cheshire?

I want my kids (9 & 10) to start training in a martial art with resistive opponents. We're not overly fussed about the style and as I know that most flavours will be useful if taught correctly and sparring is against resistance. We've arrived at this point as they've been training in traditional Ju Jitsu for a couple of years but at their age range it's just plain fake and totally useless in school skirmishes. We've tried a few TKD (sparring), MMA and Krav Maga classes but none were suitable (lack of participants, very short classes, no mats, too many games) so we're now struggling to find anywhere suitable in our area.

We've written off traditional Ju Jitsu, Karate, Kung Fu and Aikido for the lack resistive opponents, at least at kids level anyway, but please correct me if I'm wrong on this.

We're in Warrington but we're happy to travel a bit (Warrington, Widnes, Runcorn, Northwich) if we can find the right class. Our only prerequisites are that it's as real-world as possible and they use mats.

I did find Relentless MMA in Runcorn (which I guess is the remains of Wolfslair?) but their phone number is dead and they don't answer Facebook messages.

So any advice or pointers towards some decent clubs in my area would be much appreciated.


Lows lake

Thinking of heading up to lows the first weekend of december, it won't be frozen over yet will it?


Moose River Plains Campsite Selection

We're heading up to moose river plains to do some car camping this weekend. I've camped at Wakley damn several times but never used a site further than that.

Can you guys make some recommendations for your favorite sites that have a waterfront setting. Doesn't need to be lake front, could be a stream or on the river. It's been difficult to figure out which sites have reasonably easy access to water and which don't. I would prefer not to have to pack gallons of water for the weekend.
Thanks

Stopping teaching, back to training, may pick up BJJ

Some of you may have noticed I've been a bit absent. Aside from a broken and now replaced laptop I've been making up my mind and decided to take a break from teaching (publicly) for a while. I've been teaching for about four years but I've decided to take a break. I'm quite busy with other commitments like work and school but it's also been quite difficult to get and keep a school up and running in the area I'm in currently so I'll be closing my doors for now.

I'll be going back to training with my Sifu and I think I'm going to split my time between there and some BJJ classes. There's a school about 10 minutes away whose head is a Marcus Soares blackbelt and I do miss grappling.

...as soon as this post-viral cough clears up and I no longer sound like General Grievous


What if Gi's wear worn in MMA

What if Gi's where worn in MMA

I was chatting with someone in the US embassy a few month's ago who apparently was a Judo black belt and had fought in 3 amateur fights and won all of them via submission.

I asked him during the conversation why are traditional Judo/Jiu Jitsu throws not as common in MMA as wrestling takedowns? he responded by telling me with a gi on it's easy to grab the clothing to do throws but when your opponent is topless and the lights are beaming down on you, the body gets boiling hot and sweaty. This makes it very hard to grab hold of your opponents wrists and torso to perform some of these techniques.

While it's true that many cage fighters on a proffesional level can perform stuff like the Harai Goshi or the Tai Otoshi in the cage normally these techniques are not often the first choice of throw/takedown for most fighters. Also a Gi can be used to choke the opponent, so now I come to the question and what if Gi's where mandatory in MMA?

Would BJJ practitioners have an advantage, would Judoka and Sambist's be able to get the fight to the ground easier, could it be used alongside a Thai clinch or would it make little to no difference at all.

Your thoughts ladies and gentlemen?


Video Ideas

Hi Gang,
Just wanted to throw this out there...
Some of you may be familiar with my youtube channel, and as we turn the corner here from summer into fall & the colder months. I find myself looking for some fresh trip ideas to record with my GoPro camera. I do have a couple overnight trips planned for the upcoming foliage season, but I'd also be interested in hearing some other ideas if anyone happens to have any suggestions.
Thanks again for all of the positive comments that I have received over the past several months. :)
Oh, and whomever keeps clicking the "dislike" button, now is your chance to perhaps let me know why. Constructive criticism is always welcome, and it would be very nice of you & greatly appreciated if you did, thanks. ;)

While one of my volunteers were taken a picture of the tree someone came down from campsite ask my volunteer what happened? they inform my volunteer hours of the night trucks were driving up and down the road, they inform my volunteer that someone painted graffiti on a out house, My three volunteers drove up road and saw rugs on the ground that someone left near the bear slides.

Disability

Hi, I have ADHD..and Schizophrenia..means I cant keep track of the voices in my head...and that I cant really do anything that I havent set my mind too...It always comes out as grotesque and impalpable, like I cant really practice martial arts..unless I can figure out what part I can honest atune too..

This makes it difficult for me to train at Dojos..because they tell me to do things that I cant do properly..or at the very least..without 100% cooperation and then they think I am bad..or unskilled...and often get annoyed..

Its like this in my Chi Gong class..I am told to do things..but it feels like I Should be doing other things..I know If I do my own thing I would be Grandmaster...but when people tell me to do things..I am only a novice..its the key difference between a trained Black Belt..and an untrained White Belt..

Other than this I can perform Yoga at a Studio with teacher help..but with Martial arts its something different!

Relaxing makes the work easier for me..But I am still in disregard while revealing my talent at martial arts..

Northern Zone Bow Season

Anyone going bowhunting tomorrow for opening day? I used to never miss it and while I'll likely head to a stand for the afternoon if the rain holds off I don't get as excited about it as I used to. I miss the old four-day season on the old tag. I also personally don't enjoy temps over 60; but that's just me. Still, early season venison is hard to beat. Good luck if you go.


Man In The Wilderness

That's two mornings in a row now where the temperature's border the 30's, and the fog is quite heavy. Days rapidly getting shorter, foliage peaking in the higher elevations, and sighting more and more flocks of geese heading south while critters such as squirrel, chipmunk and the like scurry about to gather nuts for the long winter ahead...

My neck has started to swell, and the wife wonders why I'm urinating so much as I meander about with head held high, constantly sniffing for that tantalizing odor that gets me going. I've pretty much stopped eating now, and I've worn a hole in the family room carpet scraping the floor as I ponder thoughts of the upcoming hunting season.

Yea...the rifle's all sighted in and I'm counting the day's till I head into the back country in pursuit of the elusive Adirondack whitetail... I'm old school, and I only hunt the deep back country of the Adirondacks. Don't care to see other hunters, but if I do, they've got to know what they're doing to be anywhere near where I am. Compass & topo are my best friend out there...along with 100% wool clothing. The lighter synthetics won't save your ass if your soaked and have to spend the night in the woods...

So get your ass in gear and start plotting strategy for your adventure. It doesn't get any better than that.

I've left you with a little something I always watch before I head out. Turn your speakers on and enjoy...

Lucky flannel lost near Spectacle Lake

This is a long shot but, I dropped my blue and tan flannel shirt somewhere along the shore of the beaver pond at the western end of spectacle lake on 9/24/16, most likely off trail. Was unable to turn back by the time I realized it was gone. I can offer a small reward if found and returned.

Thanks.

锘? Over 500 Black Vance McDonald 49ers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Vance McDonald Womens Jerseys Shop ,000 tonnes of faeces are openly defecated every day to the environment around the world. That鎶?enough to fill the 30,000-seat Stade de Gen閼, where the Euro 2008 football tournament kicks off this weekend, three times over. But the global sanitation crisis is not a mere game: it pollutes the very environment upon which humans depend. Providing toilets and protecting the environment would be a winning combination for people and planet, says the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC).

鎻坅ch year, more than 200 million tonnes of human waste go uncollected and untreated around the world, fouling the environment and exposing millions of people to disease and squalor,?says Jon Lane, WSSCC Executive Director. 鎻檔 World Environment Day, midway through the International Year of Sanitation, WSSCC is calling for governments, stakeholders and individuals around the world to accelerate the work to end these ongoing human and environmental catastrophes.?br >
Doing so Black Tramaine Brock 49ers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Tramaine Brock Womens Jerseys Shop , he says, requires neither colossal sums of money nor breakthrough scientific discoveries. Using existing, proven approaches and technologies, and for about US$ 10 billion a year ?less than 1 percent of global military expenditure ?the world could meet the Millennium Development Goal sanitation target to halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to basic sanitation. And around ten years later, everyone could have a toilet to use. 鎻俢hieving universal sanitation can, with proper financing, be accomplished through hard work on the ground, plain talk about toilets, strong leadership at all levels, and by creating demand for toilets among the 2.6 billion poor people who need them Black Torrey Smith 49ers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Torrey Smith Womens Jerseys Shop ,?says Lane.

Toilets, washing facilities, garbage removal, wastewater disposal, stormwater drainage: sanitation services such as these are a prerequisite for clean, healthy household and community living environments, particularly in dense settlements. Such sanitation services are also vital to safeguard environmental quality more broadly, especially the quality of water resources. The cost is high, conversely, where sanitation services are lacking. Water pollution stemming from poor sanitation costs Southeast Asia more than US$ 2 billion per year, and in Indonesia and Vietnam creates environmental costs of more than US$ 200 million annually, primarily from the loss of productive land.

A healthy living environment depends on sanitary toilets
In teeming informal settlements across the globe Black Tom Rathman 49ers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Tom Rathman Womens Jerseys Shop , the sanitation crisis is keenly felt. With no way to safely dispose of either faeces or garbage, around a billion slum dwellers must resort to 鎻籰ying toilets?(also known as 鎼榬ap and throw? and to dumping trash in public spaces. This situation is not limited to urban settlements; in impoverished city suburbs, small market towns, large villages and periurban settlements across the developing world, the public environment is full of waste.

The contents of bucket-latrines and pits, even of sewers, are often emptied into the streets. A recent study of Indonesia, for example, found that roughly one in ten people are exposed to open sewers and the open dumping of solid waste, and more than four in ten to open defecation sites. Poor sanitation creates a host of health hazards as well as a bleak and disheartening visual landscape. Roads are full of mud, puddles, and piles of garbage and debris Black Terrell Owens 49ers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Terrell Owens Womens Jerseys Shop , not to mention disease-carrying insects, microbes and rodents. The odours are often unpleasant.

Imagine a community of 10,000 inhabitants, 30 percent of whom practice open defecation. Since each person produces 150 grams of faeces a day, open defecation would result in 450 kg daily or more than 3 tonnes a week ?or 100 full dump trucks?worth of human excrement annually ?deposited in the community. Living in a squalid environment harms physical and psychological health; is stigmatising; often presents employment challenges; and deepens human poverty. A healthy living environment, one that supports human dignity and is free of disease-transmitting agents and conditions, is impossible without sanitation services.

Sanitary toilets aid environmental sustainability
Human waste enters water sources and land through open defecation, dumping of buckets, inadequate disposal via sewer pipes into water courses and onto unused land, and leakage from pit latrines. In the developing world, roughly 90 percent of sewage is discharged untreated into rivers, polluting waters and killing plants and fish. In Southeast Asia alone Black Steve Young 49ers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Steve Young Womens Jerseys Shop , 13 million tonnes of faeces are released to inland water sources each year, along with 122 million m3 of urine and 11 billion m3 of greywater. This presents a major health threat to people who depend upon open streams and wells for their drinking water as well as an economic blow to people whose livelihoods depend upon fisheries. Upstream water users find better quality water, whereas downstream users find 鎼抏wage sinks? Water quality is worse near densely populated areas.

Reusing waste has many benefits
Sanitation involves a range of actions, but for a healthy environment ?in communities as well as in the larger natural world ?the top priority is separating excreta, with its host of biological pathogens, from contact with human beings as well as plant and animal life. In areas where it is practised, ending open defecation is a critical first step. But to fully realise the health, social, and economic benefits, the management of wastes must be considered. Conventional sewerage can now be supplemented with ecological sanitation technologies that make use of the nutrients in human waste. These range from simple 鎻硆bor-loos?(where a tree is planted on the latrine pit) to urine-diverting toilets that produce fertiliser from urine and safely composted faeces.

Have a different trading strategy for each type of market up-trending, down, and range bound. Each of these markets requires a different strategy for success so plan for this. If you plan for each type you are going


to make more money than if you just try to wing it.


Doing what you already understand is a way to get ahead in the Forex market. If you start trading, and have no idea what you are doing, you will end up losing more money then you wish to. Trading just because someone


told you it was a good move will not help you gain more knowledge, and if you are unfamiliar with what you are trading Black Star Lotulelei Panthers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Star Lotulelei Womens Jerseys Shop , you will not really know if it is a good idea or not.


Let your gains run, but cut your losses early. This adage about stock market investing applies equally to the Forex market. If a position is winning for you, a premature exit can clip your profits. If a position is


losing, holding on too long can cause your losses to snowball, making it hard to recover.


Abandon a Forex prediction when market movement renders it inaccurate. Predicting the way the Forex markets will move is hard work. If you put effort into making your own predictions you are likely to get attached to


them. You always need to be willing to murder your darlings, though. A prediction that does not reflect movement accurately is worse than useless.


Make sure you read the instructions that come with your signal software and understand the types of signal you are receiving. Some software offer very detailed information about the volatility of a currency, or if it


has been overbought or oversold. Learn how to use these indicators to make informed decisions.


Network with other Forex traders. By joining some Forex trading forums you can start to have discussions with other Forex traders who can share expertise, tips and ticks with you. Make sure that you do not waste other


people\s time by asking questions that could be answered by conducting a simple internet search.


If you are interested in moving to a different currency Black Shaq Thompson Panthers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Shaq Thompson Womens Jerseys Shop , research it first. Following the past ups and downs of a market can possibly predict how the markets future may look. If it seems too unstable, you may want to


look into a different one, or at least be prepared for some possible losses.


If you are new to the trading world, one of the things you must do is to study the market. You should also practice what you are doing by using a mini account. When you are trading, remember that the lower the risk


you are taking, the higher your chances of making money.


Before investing your money into the forex market, practice first with a forex demo account. You want to develop solid trading skills and see if you have the necessary skills to make money in the demo market, before


you do the real thing.


Plan for success and succeed in your plan. You cannot win on every trade Black Sam Mills Panthers Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Sam Mills Womens Jerseys Shop , usually. However, if you make a plan for your trading day, stick to that plan. Do not veer off from that plan in the rush of a winning position


and force yourself to reevaluate and adjust your original plan. Success means you stick to your plan and finish the day with that plan, win or lose.


One of the most common mistakes that new or occasional Forex traders make is to view the market as revolving solely around a single currency. In fact, the entire premise of the foreign market exchange is the


relationship between BOTH currencies – how does one currency perform relative to the other?


To be successful in currency trading it is necessary to have an overwhelming desire to succeed. The greatest traders will confirm that they are those who desire success above all else. It is the motivating factor that


will drive an individual to seek the necessary means to reach their goals.


It was previously stated that forex can lead to great fortunes. Now that you\ve read up on some handy pointers for success, you can start investing in this lucrative money-making market. Soon, you will be able to reap


the benefits of your smart decisions, gaining assets and learning even more from your experiences.

Doctor. LUIS CARLOS SABBAGH, recuerde que en la Cl?nica Reina Sof?a de Bogot?, usted le practic? a mi esposa Helena Urdaneta de G?mez una Ecoendoscopia, con perforaci?n del es?fago y grav?simas consecuencias.

?OCHO INTERMINABLES DIAS !

CARTA ABIERTA AL DR. LUIS CARLOS SABBAGH SANVICENTE, A LA CLINICA REINA SOFIA Y A COLSANITAS

Hoy, 3 de Agosto de 2007, se cumplen 5 ( cinco ) meses del nefasto d?a en que le practicaron una ECOENDOSCOPIA a mi esposa HELENA URDANETA DE GOMEZ. Recuerdo que cuando le pregunt? a usted, Dr. Sabbagh Authentic Mike Iupati Jersey , qu? secuelas iba a tener esa perforaci?n del es?fago me respondi? que no me preocupara porque en 8 d?as mi esposa estar?a tan bi?n como antes del procedimiento. Con gran ingenuidad e ignorancia le cre? en ese momento sus palabras y recuerdo que hasta llegu? a darle las gracias por tan grata noticia. ? Ocho d?as pasan volando,- me dije -, y mi esposa estar? en casa conmigo perfectamente sana. Si lo dice tan afamado gastroenter?logo, qui?n se atreve a dudarlo ?!. Es incre?ble la facilidad conque se puede enga?ar a una persona y la forma en que el tiempo se puede " congelar " para que 8 d?as se conviertan en 5 meses, posiblemente en 6, 7, 8....,s?lo Dios sabr? cuantos m?s. Ojal? mis a?os transcurrieran al paso cansino en que lo hacen sus c?lculos m?dicos. Ha vuelto a saber de mi esposa ?. Se ha preocupado por ella ?. Cuando practica una ecoendoscopia se acuerda de ella ?. Le importa lo que le est? sucediendo actualmente y lo que le pueda pasar mas adelante?. D?game, Doctor, cu?ntos ocho d?as m?s debo esperar para que mi esposa vuelva a ser la persona que era hasta ese remoto 3 de Marzo ?.Seamos sinceros ante nosotros mismos, - sin que nadie lo sepa-, para que la responsabilidad y la conciencia no nos agobien : Tuvo usted la culpa de lo sucedido ?. La tuvo el ecoendoscopio con que le fu? perforado el es?fago ?. La tuvo mi esposa ?.

La tuve yo ?.- La Ley de la causalidad es muy clara y siempre he cre?do en ella : " No hay efecto sin causa ". Usted dice que mi esposa se movi? Authentic Calais Campbell Jersey , de la misma manera en que dijo que en ocho d?as super?a el grave problema que se le caus?. Si as? fue, le pregunto : Qu? persona no se mueve, despierta o dormida ?. Yo digo que ella no se movi? sino que el que se movi? fue el ecoendoscopio con el que le practicaron el procedimiento. Yo digo que ese aparato no se maneja s?lo, porque no es un robot . Yo digo que usted fue quien manej? el ecoendoscopio y que, con o sin movimiento de ella, le perfor? el es?fago. Por lo anterior, para mi es claro que su mano movi? el ecoendoscopio y perfor? el es?fago de mi esposa. ? Estamos de acuerdo ?. Pero acaso importa la causa, cuando el efecto es el mismo ?. Le cuento lo que es posible que aun no sepa y que no les haya preocupado ni a usted, ni a los responsables de la Cl?nica Reina Sof?a, ni a los directivos de Cols?nitas : Mi esposa es todav?a una INVALIDA. Ese t?rmino de INVALIDA se aplica a las personas incapaces de valerse por s? mismas, y mi se?ora no se puede valer por s? misma, por eso a?n permanece en hospitalizaci?n domiciliaria Authentic Jermaine Gresham Jersey , con 2 enfermeras y terapias todos los d?as.

Han pensado ustedes, Doctor Sabbagh, Directivos de la Cl?nica Reina Sof?a y de Cols?nitas, en los efectos psicol?gicos que, despues de lo acontecido, afectan a mi esposa ?

Han pensado en los efectos psicol?gicos que me afectan a m? ?. O, de lo contrario锘? Once a .


or possibly the illusion

锘? Most professional musicians play from a book called a "Fake Book". I bought my first fake book containing only about 200 songs when I was a teenager -- they were illegal then Black Stephone Anthony Saints Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Stephone Anthony Womens Jerseys Shop , but most musicians owned them -- for $50. That would be equal to $500. or more now. But fortunately, they have since become legal, so you can buy a real good one with 1000 songs now for $50. or less. A fake book contains just the melody (tune) and the chord symbols of a song, so you have to know chords to use one. But when you do, your playing comes alive -- you're only reading a few notes, but playing lots of notes.

Most people learn to play the piano by playing just the written music. Playing by written music is exactly what the phrase says it is -- playing the exact notation on a piece of sheet music. But playing by chord symbol is very different. Instead of following the harmony note by note, you follow the chord symbols (i.e. C7 or F) written above the harmonies, filling in the gaps with...well, whatever you want as long as it sticks to those chords. Of course, you'll still read the melody (it is Black Sheldon Rankins Saints Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Sheldon Rankins Womens Jerseys Shop , after all, often what makes the song recognizable) but even that is completely open to interpretation. Playing by chord symbol allows you a freedom that playing by written music simply doesn't. The freedom to create. The freedom to invent. The freedom to arrange chord patterns in the way you want.

Does that mean playing by written music is less important than playing by chord symbol? No. The ability to play by written music is an extremely valuable skill, one that even some of the most famous musicians don't possess. And while you don't necessarily need to know the skill backwards and forwards to create great arrangements, it's a great help.

Chord symbols -- sometimes referred to as "chord tabs" (for example, Cmaj7 or G6 or Fm7) are a type of notation used frequently in jazz and other areas of modern music to notate chord progressions and changes. This type of notation differs from that of classical music in that chord symbols don't show the function of a chord the way the Roman numeral notation does. Chord symbols, for modern music with lots of changes, are much easier to read. They function as a sort of shorthand for change-heavy music and are written with four chord parts in mind: the root, the quality, the extension, and the alterations.

The first part in chord symbols Black Sam Mills Saints Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Sam Mills Womens Jerseys Shop , the root, tells the musician which note is the root of the chord. In an E6 chord, for instance, the E serves as the root. In a C7 chord, C is the root. Easy enough.

Quality, the second part in chord symbols, denotes whether the chord is major, minor, diminished, or augmented. In a Cmaj7 Black Rickey Jackson Saints Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Rickey Jackson Womens Jerseys Shop , the maj tells us that the C chord is major. The abbreviations for this area in chord symbols are maj, min, dim, and aug respectively. So Cm means the chord is a C minor chord. Caug means that the chord is a C augmented chord.

The extension in chord symbols, written after the quality, shows the musician if the chord differs from a triad, such as an 11th or 6th or 9th or 7th or 13th. So a C9 would mean that the C chord includes the 9th note above C, which is D. A C6 chord would mean that the C chord includes the 6th scale note above C, which is A. This part of chord symbols is not always shown; if there is no indication of an extension, the musician is to assume that the chord is a triad.

The last part in chord symbols Black P. J. Williams Saints Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic P. J. Williams Womens Jerseys Shop , the alteration, is usually but not always expressed. Think of this part as the "notes" section in chord symbols; it gives the musician any specific (and sometimes irregular) instructions for playing the chord and is always written in parentheses after the extension (or the quality, if no extension exists). For instance, (no fifth) would tell the musician that the chord is to be played with the fifth tone left out. Sus - short for "suspension", would mean to play the 4th scale note instead of the 3rd. A minus sign would mean to lower (flat) a chord tone, such as C-9 which would mean to flat the 9th of the chord. Conversely, a plus sign would mean to raise (sharp) a particular chord tone.

Reading music using chord symbols allows a person to use written music as a map, rather than a note-for-note approach -- being tied to the written sheet music. By just reading the melody note and the chord symbols, musicians can improvise to their hearts content and create their own sounds on the keyboard. So you can use sheet music as a map instead of a ball & chain that ties you down.

Did you know that many pianists wouldn't have a clue what to do if a gust of wind blew their sheet music off the music rack? I've actually seen it happen, and it is very embarrassing to the pianist. And it's so un-necessary! And there's a true story about a famous concert pianist who could play most any piece of written music Black Nick Fairley Saints Jerseys, T-Shirts - Authentic Nick Fairley Womens Jerseys Shop , but when asked to play "Happy Birthday" at a party, she couldn't do it because she didn't have any written music! Almost unbelievable, but true.

Once you learn this skill you'll be reading only a few notes per measure, but playing handfuls of notes -- arpeggios, chords, runs, riffs, fills, etc. You can then "do your own thing" on the piano, instead of playing a song the same way everyone else is playing it.
