I bought some Berkley gulp alive spray scent. It only came in a few scents so I bought the craw fish scent. Do you think fish will really care if plastic lizards or worms smell like craw fish? Or will it work just fine?
amazing question.
I have seen and done this test. where fish will move plastics (worms, craws, lizards and grubs off the bed (actually pick them up by the tail and move it out away from the rock surrounded area) when spawning. they actually swallow the baits with scent on them and they don't care what scent is on what bait.
Crazy Crawler A behind-the-scenes look at a BTN wrestling production
The Big Ten Network (BTN) began its coverage of college wresting in 2007 and after some initial success the network broadened their commitment in 2009 in the hopes of attracting profits and building a national cable audience.
How did search engines begin, and where are they going? We use them so often that we take them for granted and forget how miraculous it is to be able to find answers to our most obscure questions within just a few seconds. When is Hanna Montana touring Texas? What are the newest Xbox 360 games? Where is the closest Joe's Crab Shack from the mall? Can you imagine trying to answer these questions without a search engine? What's unbelievable to me is that I grew up without search engines (I heard about Google for the first time when I started college), and I still can't image how I did anything without them.
In the beginning, online directories ruled the Earth
The first website ever created was the CERN page which went live on August 6, 1991. It provided an explanation about what the World Wide Web was, how to get a browser, and how to set up a webserver. As more and more people began to set up their own webservers and publish webpages, other people began to create online directories of sites to act like a table of contents for the internet.
In April 1994, David Filo and Jerry Yang created the Yahoo! Directory as a collection of their favorite web pages. As their number of links grew, they enhanced the system by adding a search capability. This idea of searching for content undoubtedly inspired many talented visionaries in the late 90's, including Brian Pinkerton of the University of Washington. Brian created a new way to organize the internet by releasing WebCrawler that very same month, which was the first web crawler that indexed entire pages. The search engine was born.
The age of content search engines
Following WebCrawler came Lycos, Ask Jeeves, and ultimately Google, which was launched in 1998. For the first time in human history, humans had a way to automatically network all of their knowledge and experience. The content search engine is truly our first step towards cataloging the summation of all human knowledge. For years, content search engines were our primary tool in acquiring new knowledge... until Twitter came along.
The age of social network search engines
What's so special about Twitter? Well, it was the very first system to begin cataloging our conversations, and even our thoughts. It might sound far fetched, but that's exactly what Twitter is doing. When it launched in March 2006, Facebook immediately saw it's value, and copied the idea by creating the Facebook news feed (the new homepage that Facebook created which shows everyone's status). Why did Facebook jump on the idea? Because it's huge. A new era of search has already begun and we haven't even noticed it yet.
Let's say that you want to know how to make a nice chicken fried steak. Right now, you can hop onto Google and type in "best way to make chicken friend steak", and presto, you have links to a bunch of websites that might give you some good direction. But what if you could search the experience and thoughts of everyone in the world? If you could do that, you would probably be able to make the best chicken fried steak you ever had.
Sound crazy? Well it's happening right now before our very eyes. As social networks like Twitter and Facebook continue to evolve, this type of searching will become a reality. Searching for knowledge won't ever be the same.
Do I need a special type of rod or can I just use my regular one and do I need some wading boots or what all lures do I need and everything? please help!
No speical rod. And no you dont "need" wading boots. But i HIGHLY recommend you get some. The good ones are velt on the bottom (velt sticks to alge covered rocks). They onlny cost from $50-$150. Its worth it dont risk your life/ gear (if you slip on the rocks without velt and your by rough river, guess where your going. Straight down for good. Waders down float they sink.
Board - A beginner should have a board that has a beveled edge (so the edges don't catch as easily), has a little flexibility, and is sort of hourglass-shaped like a maxi-pad, so that it is relatively easy to turn.
Boots - The most important thing is that the boot always moves with your foot. Since the boot is bound to the board and you are controlling it with your feet, if your foot moves within the boot, your foot movement will not translate into board movement. Make sure you get good boots.
1. The boot should be snug from toe to heel
2. When you lift your heel while standing, your heel should not move up inside the boot. That is, the heel should not come up off the floor of the boot. Raising your heel should raise the heel of the boot too and should not make a space between your heel and the boot.
3. You should not be able to rotate your foot or ankle with respect to the boot when the boot is wedged or pinned in a stationary position. Loose boots may be a problem for women renting men's boots; their feet tend to be narrower.
Boots with dense, form-fitting foam in the heel solve problems (2) and (3). The foam is a part of the inside of the boot and protrudes into the recess of your Achilles' tendon so that when your heel comes up, it catches on the foam and the boot comes up too. Don't leave the rental equipment desk until you are happy - it could mean the difference between having control of your board and not having control of your board.
Helmet - You'll want a helmet with good visibility that doesn't block your peripheral vision, and one which doesn't deafen you so you can hear skiers and riders approach from the sides and behind. Different countries have different safety certification names. So, if it is made in Europe, it might say CE. If it is made in the US it might say Snell. They are made to crack so your head doesn't. Replace your helmet if the inside or outside becomes cracked.
Lacing up & Strapping in
Boots have lace holes and hooks. Pull hard on the laces when you lace them through the holes. Before hooking the laces through each set of hooks, tie them (like you tie your sneakers, except stop before you make a bow). After hooking the lace on the top hooks, tie them, then hook them through the bottom-most hooks again, tie them. Then hook them through the top-most hooks again and tie them in a bow. It is obvious where you put your feet on the board. The strap bindings look like sandals, except with a support for behind your ankle. Put your foot in - make sure your heel is all the way back, touching the support. Strap the ankle strap first, then the toe strap. Make sure you get them very tight. To walk around on flat ground, unstrap your tail foot. You'll feel awkward for a while. Don't sweat it. It goes away.
Clothing
Your clothing should be warm, non-restrictive, water-resistant, and breathable.
Attire - Wear something you can move around in. Pants that are moderately tight, which work for skiing, won't work for snowboarding. You'll be bending your knees a lot more and twisting and squatting and balancing, so you won't want restrictive clothing. Your jacket should significantly overlap your pants so you don't get snow around your waist. So either get a long jacket that goes well below the top of your pants, or a normal-length jacket with tall ski pants underneath that cover your abs. I opted for the latter: tall ski pants ($29 USD) that looked and felt one size too large and nylon down jacket ($59 USD). I was dry, warm, and happy. Everything that touches snow must be water resistant. The lining and layer underneath don't matter much as long as they don't retain sweat. COTTON IS BAD. Chenille, fleece, or wool is good. Gore-tex is very good. You really don't have to spend a fortune, but you must spend enough to be warm, breathable, and water-resistant (read the clothing labels).
Socks - Wear only ONE pair of socks: Ideally, thick long acrylic socks with a very loose weave (turn 'them inside out to check).
Gloves - Get really warm, waterproof gloves - long ones that extend over the wrists of your jacket. Get gloves you feel comfortable in - not ones that make you feel like you're wearing the claws of a giant bear suit costume. You want gloves in which you can EASILY make a fist, for reasons I'll explain in a minute. They make warm, non-bulky gloves these days.
Goggles or glasses with polycarbonate lenses ($25 USD); these won't shatter when you fall.
Scarf - tied securely, or turtle fur (a pull-over cylindrical thingy for your neck)
I was going down a steeper part of the mountain toeside, and I reached out in front of me and touched the slope with my hand and felt it as it went by.
Tippet Size - While your tippet is one of the greatest tools, often it is the first to be blamed for your not catching fish. Tippet could be the most underestimated piece of equipment. Today's tippet material is fantastic, and there is none better than RIO Fluoroflex Plus.
Guiding and fishing many rivers of the west, I have found that tippet size is critically undersized by many fishermen. Nearly all summer long I use RIO Fluoroflex Plus tippet. Yes, it is expensive, however, the benefits are well worth the price. I have listed some tips below.
Fly Selection and Presentation - These are by far the reason you catch a ton of fish or very few fish. Tippet size is rarely the reason.
Tippet Size - I have three basic sizes of tippet in my bag: 2x,3x,4x all are RIO Fluoroflex Plus. I don't even own a spool of 5x. I use 2x when streamer fishing and on large dry flies. I will also use it if I am fishing large nymphs like girdle bugs. 2x can be used all summer long on the South Fork of the Snake for instance. When fishing large dry flies like stoneflies and Chernobyl ants, I use nothing else but 2x. I will then tie off a dropper from the big dry with 3x. When fish are rising on small dries, I will use 4x for the dry and often tie a dropper off using 4x. Sizing down for the dropper can save you flies. If the bottom fly gets caught on a rock or tree, you will usually only lose the dropper if you size down your tippet.
Health of Fish - We are all concerned about the health of the fish. What better way to care for them than getting them in and off the hook as fast as possible. When you use heavier tippet you really help the fish. They recover quickly and are back in the water fast.
Catch More Fish - Larger tippet sizes mean you lose less fish. Losing less fish means you lose less flies. Better for the fish and better for you. Save Money - You will save money on flies using a heavier tippet. You can put that savings toward the purchase of your more expensive tippet material.
Use the biggest tippet you can get away with. The fish will thank you.

Have you ever fished with a Heddon Meadow Mouse? How did you do? The reason I ask is, I have fished with them until I lost my last one and did extremely well at catching big bass using them. I would throw the lure out and let it sit. Then twitch it once and watch it turn sideways, twitch it again and watch it turn the other way, then move it so slow it barely made a ripple and BANG. That's when the fish would hit it. I know I have caught at least a dozen bass on this lure over 5 pounds and hooked one of the biggest bass I ever had on but it got loose. Yeah, I know you hear that all the time. But I am telling you this bass was at least 10 pounds and since I have a 12 pound 14 ounce on my wall, I know what a ten pound bass looks like. I seen a 6 pound bass caught on one the first time I ever seen one about 30 years ago and also seen a 7 1/2 pound walleye caught on one.
The reason I brought this up is that I found two on ebay and bought them both. How much, well with shipping and insurance I paid $16.75 for them. That may sound like a lot for those two old lures but I am a believer in what they can do catching big bass.
Charles E. White has fished for almost 50 years for bass from California to Florida. In his lifetime, he has caught over 6,000 bass. His biggest bass is a 12 pound 14 ounce that hangs on his wall in his office.
Charles has fished with people who have never fished for bass before and taught them how to become successful anglers and also has fished with the Pros in Florida. His new website about fishing for bass is at: http://www.bassfishingweekly.com
While soaking my dough bait at a local lake in my area, I say this guy fly fishing the same lake. The only thing though was, he was catching these 2 and 3 bounders and I wasn't. I don't own a fly fishing outfit but I do have light rod ( 7'6", 8'6"and 9'6") . I'm wondering if anyone has used a spinning rod setup this way and what flys work for you? I live in San Bernadino area and the trout are planted, when they get around to it this year I hope.
Its totally possible, to fish a fly with a small bobber, but you wont catch as many fish as actually fly fishing, as your fly isnt very well presented, you may want to consider learning to fly fish, with a real fly rod and reel.
Beginning something new is always the toughest part of learning, even for the beginning fly fisherman. Before you run out and purchase all kinds of expensive fly fishing equipment, ask yourself "why do you want to take up the noble art of fly fishing? I grew up fishing rivers and streams for bass with my father this is what led me to learn how to fly fish. Nothing is better than the feeling you get while fishing your favorite stream surrounded by all that nature has to offer. The thrill and heart stopping sensation you get when you see a trout coming to take your fly is the only thing that beats the solitude nature has to offer. Take a minutes to ponder on why you want to learn fly-fishing and what you plan to gain from this form of fishing.
Now that you know why you want to learn to be a fly fisherman there area a few things to consider before getting started. You need to have the proper equipment. There are several different rod types, reels, flies, lines, and waders to choose from, so where do you start? If you like me and hate owners manuals and love jumping in feet first you wont want to waste too much time studying the art of fly fishing. Those like me don't want to spend lots of money and time deciding on the perfect fly fishing equipment, they just want to get out there and do it. I suggest going to the sporting goods department of your local big box retailer and purchasing one of the rod and reel combos they offer. These are typically under $50.00; include a basic rod, reel, line and sometimes a selection of flies to get you started. In addition, they usually have some basic information on casting; knot tying and fishing tips to help you get started. My first fly rod was bought for $5.00 at a local garage sale. eBay, flea markets and thrift stores are also nice places to find used equipment. Expensive gear doesn't make you a good fly fisherman, practice does.
Practice is the most important thing to do once you have your new fly-fishing outfit in hand. Spend some time at home practicing your casting. Stick with the basics and soon you will be casting like a pro. Don't just rush out to a stream, strip out some line and fling it around like some crazy man swatting at bugs. You'll just end up spending your day getting your fly caught in trees, shrubs and maybe even a fishing buddies ear. I suggest starting at a local pond or small lake with plenty of clear area on the bank. It is a good way to get used to the how the line and fly react on the water without getting all snagged in bushes. You might even catch a few gills or a small bass to break in your new rod.
As a new person at fly fishing if you take the time to practice, read a few books on fly fishing, and understand the basic mechanics you should develop a great love for the sport. I know this article isn't exactly the how-to-manual on fly-fishing, but hopefully it will nudge you in the right direction.
I'll get into more details in some of my other articles designed for the fly fishing beginner
There is an abandoned severely abused dog in my neighborhood. It is impossible to catch him. I want him, help!?
The dog is approx. 7 months old and was abandoned here several months ago. He is extremely afraid of people and will not fall for bait (food), or traps. I have been leaving my gait slightly open and have tried luring him with food. He makes it close to the gate and then runs away. This poor dog has been hit by a car and is literaly starving to death. The humane society has long given up on trying to catch him with traps. The neighbors have been making a game of shooting at it. Can anyone give me advice on how to help this poor animal? Please help, his time is running out nd winter is fast approaching.
Contact a local vet and/or a rescue group to come up with a plan. It sounds as if you may need several people to 'corral' him, and may need a snare stick (like animal control uses). A vet may also be able to give something (meds)to put in some canned food that will make him 'dopey' and easier to catch/handle, but of course the logistics would have to be worked so that the dog can't get away once he is drugged. Antibiotic, wormers, etc would also be a good idea. Vet would also need to be on standby for immediate evaluation.
Good luck, and bless you for trying to save this dog!
I went to see harry potter yesterday in 3D and it was awesome. I was just wondering how exactly does 3D vision and the glasses work?
The way that you see 3D regularly is by the fact that your two eyes are a little offset, one eye sees a slightly different angle than the other eye, and your brain translates that as 3D vision.
Now, if you're looking at a 2D media, like a comic book or movie screen, than there is no difference in the two visions that your eyes see, and it's 2D.
Now, what they can do is print two slightly offset pictures, each in a different color. Then, using glasses, where each lens filters the other color out, you are looking at one version of each picture with each eye, so together with both eyes you see two offset versions, and your brain translates this into 3D.

Without any doubt, if you're a driver, you know that when you drive at night it's a bit more dangerous than during the day time. This is because the poor quality of light on the road and the constant lights that hit your eyes when other cars pass you by.
This is disturbing most times, and dangerous every time. A lot of accidents happened because the driver was blinded by the headlights from the other cars. This is where night vision glasses come in.
These type of glasses are designed specially for night driving, and not only. Due to the construction of the lenses, the night driving glare is reduced, along with your eye strain. The yellow lenses' color used will enhance the colors and the clarity of the image you see. It's kind of like having your own HDTV - you put the glasses on and everything in the night becomes more vivid and clear.
When it comes to driving at night you shouldn't forget to pack with you a pair of night vision glasses. You don't know when they'll come in handy, and for the prices that they are sold, you can surely afford a pair.
As already said, the prices of night vision glasses are not that high, you can buy a decent pair at about 19$ US, so it's a small investment. Besides the fact that these glasses are affordable, you also have a wide variety of models to chose from, which means that you're not bound to buy something that doesn't suit your faces' lines or you don't like.
When it comes to the actual buying process, you can get your night vision glasses very easily online. Of course, you can go shop in your local store, but the online it's easy and fast, and you can go to a number of sites if you're not happy with the models you find on one, and also, when it comes to the time spent shopping, this is greatly reduced by the fact that you don't have to drive to the store and back and try on a number of different glasses.
Summing it up, night vision glasses are useful to have, and at the low price they can be bought, it's really easy to have one pair that you'll use for your night driving. Plus, besides the advantages they give you, you'll also look trendy.
