Camping Food That Works for You by Nick Smith Even though winter - with all its snow, wind, and cold - is definitely upon us, it’s never too early to start thinking about camping this spring or summer. And for those outdoor enthusiasts who won’t wait for the snow to melt before setting out this winter, there is no better time than now to review a few useful tips to remember when planning your camp menu. Consider the duration of your trip. Plan on eating about as much while you’re camping as you eat when you’re at home. If you’re car camping ... Choosing Pond Plants by Brett Fogle A pond without plants is like cake without icing. Pond plants fight algae, give fish a hiding place against predators, and beautify our own little slice of paradise to plunk down in at the end of a tiring day. Don’t smother your pond with plants, however. Start with half the surface area, and don’t let them cover more than two-thirds to three-quarters at their growing peak. Overcrowding stresses them out, and hey – it just looks bad! Don’t let the terms “hardy” and “tropical” throw you when ch ...

Unless your name is Steve Vai, chances are you've done at least one of the above! They are all symptoms of having a lack of vision. What do I mean by vision?

Although springtime is the best time, you've actually got the entire normal growing season to get it done. The reason for dividing your water lilies is that they eventually run out of room in their existing pots and need more room for the roots to spread out so the plant can flourish. Not only is this relatively easy to do, but you end up with more plants as a bonus! Step 1 Re ... Avoiding Unsightly Algae by Brett Fogle Excessive organic matter in the pond provides nutrients for algae, contributing to its growth. Algae can obscure the view of colorful fish, and more dangerously, it robs the water of valuable oxygen and releases harmful pollutants. UV clarifiers also are effective tools that use ultraviolet light to destroy the reproductive ability of suspended algae. Dead, microscopic algae will clump together into particles large enough to be removed by filtration. Increasing the amount of floating and oxyge ... Fall Pond Cleaning by Brett Fogle Doing a full pond cleaning during the colder winter months can be very stressful on your fish. However, if the pond is really dirty and full of 'muck' - then you may want to consider it because all of the decaying organic matter in the pond can cause problems if the pond ices over, and this begins to de-gas and rot. So, I think the best solution, and what we used to do for our clients was do a partial Fall pond cleaning. Here's how to do it: First, get a container that will hold roughly 100 g ...

The Importance Of Habit And Repetition During Horse Training by Andy Curry Picture this. You're out feeding your horse. You're petting her, talking to her, and admiring how beautiful she is.

Her head is high, her ears are twitching, and she's wondering what's going on. It's boring just sitting on her. You want her to move. So you boot her forward. She moves. You're delighted. Sudd ...

Why Difficulties In Horse Training A Good Thing by Andy Curry I'll never forget one of the first horses I trained by myself. I could not have picked a better horse to give me problems. This horse was slow to motivate. He was very much his own person so to speak and was going to do what he pleased...at least...that's how it seemed. There are plenty of horses in this world that will move when you want them to move. In fact, some horses can be so nervous it takes little effort to get them moving in the round pen. In a way, they almost train themselves. When I ... Satellite Radio & Shock Jocks: Howard Stern – Bad Boy of the Airwaves by Reno Charlton The term “Shock Jock” has become well known since the 1980s. These bad boys of the airwaves have happily stomped on and disregarded the FCC regulations to the delight - and at times, disgust of their audiences. The rule of thumb in the “Shock Jock” entertainment form is, the more disturbing, shocking, and politically incorrect the show - the better. Howard Stern, one of the highest paid radio personalities in broadcast history is the one who is responsible for the phrase “Shock Jock” Howard Ste ... Get your Band out of the Garage and Into a Gig.

Speed Kills by Paul Wilson Would you say you have a fast looking swing or a slow swing? (If you don’t have a fast swing show this article to a playing partner who does). You would think that a recreational golfer’s fast swing would hit a golf ball a long way wouldn’t you? After all, it looks fast! Yet the ball doesn’t go as far as a slow swinging pro’s ball. I wonder why... If you think about your body for a minute, you know that it moves much slower than your arms in real life. So if your body can’t turn all that fast, h ... How to Practice by Paul Wilson In a normal day of teaching golf I walk back and forth to the range numerous times. On this journey, I usually watch the different variations people have when they swing the golf club. Some of the swings are quite good and others need a lot of work. I usually think to myself that if only they could change the way they practiced they would become so much better so much faster. What do I mean exactly? Well ... 99.9% of all golfers I see on the range are just whacking golf balls out there. If this ... 2005 - The Year of Patience by Paul Wilson 2005 has me going into my 15th year teaching golf. From day one, I thought that if I could come up with a technique that was fast and easy to learn I would be a pretty popular guy. Well, I did ... and I am. So what is fast and easy?

Alignment - The Most Important Lesson in Golf by Paul Wilson When I watch inexperienced golfers players hit the ball I find that they are usually mis-alinged to their target. Typically, they aim way too far out to the right. The reason they aim to the right is because the inexperienced player has the tendency to hit the ball with their arms which causes the ball to pull to the left. This means that they are compensating for a flaw in their swing by just aiming their body out to the right instead of fixing the actual flaw. What this boils down to, is that ... The Long Backswing by Paul Wilson Is your golf swing too long? The majority of inexperienced players I see have too long of a golf swing. So why would so many people have such long swings? It all boils down to Human Nature. Human Nature says that the longer you swing the farther you will hit the ball. If this were true, why is it that I can hit a ball 300 yards with a 3/4 swing but I can’t hit it 400 yards with a long swing? When you watch the Pros on TV, you do see varying lengths of backswings. On one hand, you have a player l ... |
