Dirt Hole Set - Ticket
to Canine Success
The dirt hole set has probably caught more fox and coyote than
all other sets combined. A properly made dirt hole set can catch
every canine that passes, but the secret is learning how to make
a good one.
The first step is to put your set location in an area inhabited
by fox or coyote. In wooded areas, look for your set location
near trails that cross. In farm country, locate where fence rows
meet, near rock piles and old farms. Anywhere mice and other
rodents are abundant or an open area is nearby will work also.

| Article Title :: I'm terrible at choosing gifts! |
| |
|
Need help with gifts? Not everyone is good at choosing them.
But there's more to gift giving than getting gift ideas from
someone else. This is why we'd like to share our gift giving
philosophy: Focus on "The Who". No, no, no... not the band.
Don't go giving someone a "the who" t-shirt. (Unless, of course,
they are a fan of Pete Townhsend.) What we mean is... who is the
recipient? Who are you giving to? And we don't mean their name.
You need to know about this person. You can't give a great gift
without knowing that. It's helpful to have a general idea of
what they like, and better to know some specifics details about
their life and personality. It's also useful to know what they
dislike ( (read full article) |

| Article Title :: How To Choose The Fishing Trip Destination That's Right For Your

| |
|
Try doing a web search on the words “fishing lodge” and you will
come up with hundreds of thousands of matches. Visit any major
sports show and you’ll find dozens of outfitters, each offering
promises of the trip of a lifetime. How on earth do you narrow
it down and find the fishing destination that’s just right for
you?
Identify Your Priorities for you fishing trip...
The first step in selecting a destination is to sit down with
everyone else going on the trip and discuss what it is that you
want out of the experience. It’s not enough to decide you want
great fishing, because that can mean very different things from
one person to the next.

| Article Title :: How 'Easy' Is Piano Playing? |
| |
|
Has anyone ever told you how easy a thing it is to play the
piano? Have you ever had people convey to you the idea that
piano playing involves little skill, and therefore, does not
stand very high, in their estimation, as an art - that it cannot
be classed with the art of say, painting or sculpture, as an
indication of the possession of brains? Such opinions only show
that anyone holding them has given the subject little, if any
thought. Until we begin to think, very few people realize what a
really complicated thing it is to play even simple piano music.
We have, first of all, to read notes on two staffs - bass and
treble. The same sign, placed in the same way is, for example, G

| Article Title :: Why Ultralight Backpacking? |
| |
|
Want Safer, More Comfortable Backpacking?
Contrary to what many think, ultralight backpacking is not just
about the freedom to hike more miles or to take your whole pack
up the mountain with you. It is also about comfort and safety.
Backpackers with heavy loads work too hard and threaten their
joints too much. Challenges may add to the experience, but why
suffer more than is necessary?
The Disadvantages Of Traditional Backpacking
Lack Of Freedom
You can't easily take a side trip up that hill, just to see what
is there. If you do it without your pack, you have to go back
the same way to get your pack.
It's A Hassle

| |
|
Red-eye is the biggest problem flash photographers face with
both digital and film cameras.
The good news is that there are a few easy tricks that can
significantly and sometimes even completely reduce the effects
of red-eye. Here's a few of the simple tricks that I've
discovered that make my pictures worth mounting on the wall.
What is red-eye?
The simplest explanation I've come across is that red-eye is the
reflection of light, in our case the flash, through the open
retina of the eye. We've all seen it's effects in the glowing
red eyes of animals, kids and adults that have been captured on
film using flash photography.
So, if we know it happens... what do we do to limit it's effect

Congratulations, you just bought you first guitar! Now that
you've met the love of your life and made that big commitment,
you're probably excited about building a good relationship with
your new partner. But where do you begin? You've just come home
from the music store with this beautiful, mysterious stranger,
or perhaps even rescued an abandoned orphan from the flee market
or pawn shop. Cradling it lovingly in your hands, you admire
it's graceful form and captivating voice. Before you lay several
items that you acquired along with your purchase- a case, strap,
picks, and of course, that book or video explaining "everything
you need to know in 10 easy lessons." You stare at it blankly,

| Article Title :: Making Piano Habits That Help |
| |
|
The ability to play well is founded upon habit and habit, in
turn, is formed upon your daily work. Therefore, how necessary
it is to see that pupils form only the best of habits. There are
seven characteristics, or habits, of good practice that every
student of music, at any age, should strictly observe:
1. Start Slowly. Practice slowly at first, gradually working up
to the required tempo.
2. Keep Time Always. Pay the best of attention to keeping time,
and from the very beginning try to play rhythmically.
3. Listen Constantly. Listen to every note played.
4. Keep Your Eyes on the Music. Form the habit of keeping your
eyes on the music. Nothing is so distracting as seeing a pianist

| Article Title :: What is Scrimshaw? |
| |
|
American scrimshaw dates back to at least 100-200 AD in North
America, practiced for centuries by native groups along the
Northwest Coast. Not wanting to simply discard the teeth and
bones of animals hunted for food, native cultures invented a new
style of art that would later be known as Scrimshaw, one of only
a few indigenous American crafts. While other cultures around
the world, such as the Orient artists, certainly worked in ivory
and bone, the style of North American cultures and that of the
Yankee sailors who followed were uniquely their own, making
scrimshaw a traditionally American art form. It was adopted by
the Yankee whale men of the early 1800's. Two- to five-year

| Article Title :: Electric RC Airplanes |
| |
|
In the recent past, almost all rc airplanes were powered by
small internal combustion engines, using liquid
fuels. Models powered by electric motors were few
and far between. The electric rc airplane is now becoming much
more common, especially in models designed for beginning pilots.
Electric power advantages include reliability,
convenience, low noise, low vibration, and lack of fuel residue
(clean). The disadvantage of early systems was low power.
However recent electric airplane motors, combined with advanced
batteries, have increased the performance of electric rc
airplanes dramatically. In the more common Brushed
motors, current switching is (read full article) |
