The Right Bicycle Seat is A Must !

2009-03-22T16:57:00.002-04:00

If you missed any part of The Bicycle Series click this link

It takes only one ride on the wrong bicycle seat to demonstrate irrefutably that a good bicycle seat is paramount to regular bicycle riding.Even the shortest, smoothest ride can be painful and joyless if your bicycle has a bad seat on it.

What differentiates a good seat from a bad seat?

It will differ between any two people, and it will differ especially between men and women. Our anatomies in the lower torso are made for strikingly different purposes, and it's pretty safe to venture that none of them include bike riding!

Truth be told, the perfect bicycle seat has not yet been marketed.There are, however, some seats that are markedly better than others. The biggest mistake made by occasional riders, particularly the elderly, is to opt for a bicycle seat that is bigger and better cushioned.
Stop right there.
Bigger seats are the wrong way to go, for anyone. Bigger seats increase friction and contact. All they will do is to broaden the area of your discomfort. Go for a smaller seat. The aim is to decrease the contact area between your derriere and the bicycle seat, not increase it!

As for cushioning, here you have some leeway.There are some very comfortable, stream-lined bicycle seats out there now, especially those made with the bumps of mountain bike riding in mind, or for the hybrid bicycles so popular with urban riders.Here, you can combine a svelte seat with some very nice and unobtrusive cushioning that will be positioned right where you need it: under your right and left buttocks' contact points.There is absolutely no good reason to have cushioning under your entire derriere.

Today, there are a lot of bicycle seat designs intended to account for the anatomical differences in men and women.The most important is that the flare of a woman's seat is just a little bit wider to allow those contact points and their cushioning to hit where a woman's anatomy requires it, but there are also bicycle seats made with various openings in the middle to decrease painful prolonged contact with male or female genitalia.

Whatever you decide might be a good option for you, try out a bicycle seat before committing to purchase.Shop at a good bike shop.Their employees know a lot and most will allow you to return it if you need to take it home to try it on your own bike. You really can't know if it's right unless you try it.

Choosing Cycling Apparel and Bicycle Clothing

2009-03-22T14:24:00.001-04:00

Avid cyclists know there is a wide-range of cycling gear available to choose from. Determining what you will need means asking yourself some key questions.• What gear is required by law? • What gear will provide the most comfort for the bicycling I plan to do?• What equipment is best for the summer/winter conditions?

Cycling store employees should be able to help you answer these questions as you look to purchase new or updated cycling clothing.
What gear is required by Law?Nearly every government has a regulation or law requiring helmets for cyclist. Some states require them for all riders while others set an age requirement. A good, well-fit helmet could save your life. Whether mountain biking or street cycling, a helmet is a must have for anyone riding a bike.

Though not specifically required by law, many state cycling groups recommend wearing reflective clothing when biking as well. This is another safety benefit, ensuring you are able to be seen by cars and pedestrians.
What gear will provide the most comfort for the bicycling I plan to do?Having a variety of clothing for cycling is recommended as what you need is based on how long your ride and wear. Cycling shorts are great for longer rides. They help to keep you cool while you are exerting yourself on the roadway. Quality cycling shorts are made of special material made specifically for comfort and moisture control. They usually have a padded seat for extra protection and comfort for extensive riding. Choosing a sleeveless cycling jersey to help keep you cool on long-rides is also recommended.

Mountain bikers who ride through brush and trees should look for a long-sleeve cycling jersey to protect their arms from abrasions. Cycling shirts or jerseys worth their salt will be made of synthetic fabric that is comfortable, lightweight and moisture resistant. This will ensure that, whether long or short-sleeved, the jersey will help a rider maintain a good temperature.
What equipment is best for the summer/winter conditions?Avid bicyclers hit the road during all kinds of weather, especially if the bike is their primary form of transportation. For cold days, a cycling jacket or a wool cycling jersey will keep you warm against the cooler air while still keeping you dry by sweeping the sweat away from your skin. Windproof jackets are also available for wind and rain protection. Coupled with cycling pants or knee warmers, which keep your knees and legs warm and flexible, these items will help you have a pleasant ride, even when the weather is less than ideal.

As the weather warms, your cycling apparel should mirror what you would wear on long rides. Good cycling or bib shorts and a sleeveless jersey will keep you comfortable and cool. You may want to carry a lightweight, compact cycling jacket with you in case your ride goes later in the evening than you anticipated or you start out your ride early in the morning. There are a number of jackets available that can be easily stowed when the temperature rises. Cycling jacket made of breathable material that incorporates ventilation, like mesh vents, in the fabric are ideal.
There are many choices in bicycle clothing and not all of them are necessary. Depending on what kind of bicycler you are, you may find that less is more. But, if you are seriously into cycling, then choosing a variety of bicycle clothing is in your advantage – you will feel much more apt to get out there on your bike if you have all of the proper equipment, including comfortable clothing that helps to keep your body temperate and dry.

Understanding Power Boating

2009-03-13T23:37:00.000-04:00

Power Boating

Power boating is becoming a rapidly growing sport all around the world. While many people think of a power boat as simply a really fast speed boat, the reality is that a power boat is so much more. It is a high performance machine capable of very fast speeds and is usually used in racing competitions.

The sport of power boating requires the use of a highly tuned boat that is capable of high planing or skimming the water. This allows for higher rates of speed and easier handling. That’s why power boats are used in racing competitions.

There are all sorts of power boats that are used in power boating. In fact, there are over fifty-three categories of power boats and within each category there are many, many makes and models. Following are some of the more common power boats:

* Bow rider
* Power catamaran
* Classic or antique replica
* Deck boat
* Express cruiser
* Hovercraft
* Jet boat
* Runabout

The type of engine you have on your power boat is a very important consideration. Because these boats are meant to travel at high speeds, you will want an engine that will complement your performance boat. Make sure the horsepower is high enough that you will be able to get as much power out of your boat as possible.

Now many people still do use power boats for recreational activities like skiing and wakeboarding. Just be sure that when you are towing someone behind your boat, you aren’t going too fast that they will lose control and risk injury.

You could really consider power boating as the operation of any craft that derives its power from an engine as opposed to human power. But real power boating and racing boats go hand-in-hand. If you’ve ever seen a power boat race, you know that these machines are finely tuned crafts capable of amazing handling as they skim effortlessly across the water.

When you are captaining a power boat, you need to be fully aware of the capabilities of your craft. Operate the boat safely and keep a good eye on the other boaters around you as well as any natural barriers or aspects of the body of water you are on. It’s very easy to have an accident when piloting a power boat, so take boating safety seriously when at the helm.

Power boating is a great sport that can give even the most experienced boater a thrill. Take up power boating and learn what boating is really supposed to be about!

Boating Safety for Everyone on the Boat

2009-03-12T23:25:00.002-04:00

Boating Safety

The most important part about responsible boating is to always practice good boating safety. The United States Coast Guard says that almost all boating accidents could have been prevented if the captain of the ship had taken a boating safety course prior to getting on the water. Boating safety is tantamount to responsible boating and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.
There’s no way we can cover all aspects of boating safety in this short article. What we can do, however, is to give you some basics to go from in your quest to become a responsible boater. There’s nothing that can replace a good, certified boating safety course taught by a qualified individual, but everyone has to start somewhere!

* Always know the safest distance to keep away from other boats. If someone is going slower than you are and you want to pass them, know how to do so safely and with the proper signaling. Boats don’t have turn signals, but you should know how to alert the other boater you will be passing them.

* When you are putting your boat in the water, be sure you know how to do this quickly as well as safely. Boating safety has to be present even before you get your vessel on the water. Knowing how to do this the right way can make the difference between friendly and unfriendly boating.

* If alcohol is part of your boating trip, be sure you are very conscious of what alcohol can do to your body when you are operating a fast-moving vehicle on top of a body of water. Alcohol use by the captain should occur in moderation above everything else. Most of the boating accidents that occur today can be directly attributed to alcohol as a contributing factor. Be smart when it comes to alcohol consumption on the water.

* Make sure that all people on board your boat have access to a life vest. Never let a child be in your boat without wearing a life vest at all times. The number one cause of death on the water is due to drowning. That is caused by people falling overboard without a life vest. This is the number one boating safety rule stressed by all instructors.

* Boating safety depends on everyone following general rules of etiquette when you are out on the water. While you can’t control what the other boaters do, you sure can control what you do. Always be polite on the water and know that you are doing your part to keep the waters safe.
Like we said previously, every boater should really take a certified boating safety course. Besides making it easier for you to get your boating license, you will be a much better boater after you take a boating safety course.

How to have Fun Boating

2009-03-10T23:18:00.002-04:00

Boating Fun

Boating is way more than a fun way to enjoy nature and the water. There are all sorts of ways to have fun boating. Think outside of the box and explore new ways to have fun on the water.
Of course, boating is fun. But when you have your family and friends along for the ride, the fun becomes massive! If you have a pontoon boat, this is a great opportunity to throw a party on the water and let those you care about enjoy boating as much as you do. Even if you own a speedboat, your friends and family will have a lot of fun taking turns on board as they enjoy water sports like skiing and tubing.

Part of boating is doing so responsibly. If you are captaining your vessel, avoid drinking alcohol. It can impair your judgment and can cause an accident. As you can imagine, THAT would not make boating fun! Boating fun is easy to find when you enjoy your time on the water with your family. Keep a positive attitude and teach those around you what you are doing. Point out interesting sites on your trip. Liven the atmosphere with some boating trivia or boating songs. You might be surprised to see how much those around you will enjoy your trip when they see you enjoying it as well.

Part of the fun in boating is enjoying the scenery as you glide across the water. Don’t let that pass you by. Take the time to watch as nature passes you by. Notice the color of the trees, pay attention to any wildlife you might see, find unique sights that you don’t usually see. It might sound a little hokey, but we think you will find that noticing nature is definitely a big part of boating fun.

Water skiing, inner tubing, wake boarding, and fishing are all fun activities you can do while boating. In fact, many boat owners wouldn’t think of owning a boat without having a ski rope or a fishing seat. Find the joy in these activities and fully embrace that joy. See the joy in the faces of those around you as well. That can be amazingly satisfying as you watch other people with smiles on their faces.

Having fun while boating is easy. Boating is an activity that should take you away from the stresses of everyday life. So sit back, relax a little, laugh a lot, and experience fun like you’ve never known – all while boating!

A Boating Course is a Must

2009-03-07T23:07:00.001-05:00

Boating Course
When you decide to take up boating as a hobby, there’s nothing better you can do for yourself than taking a boating course to learn everything you need to know about before you get on the water. A good boating course will teach you more than just how to steer a boat, it will teach you everything you need to know about safe and responsible boating.

A good boating course will, of course, begin with a lesson on operating your boat. It should show you all of the major parts of your boat, your boat’s engine, and your trailer. The boating course should take you through how to haul your boat and safe ramping procedures.
Rules of the water are essential in all boating courses. Just like on the roadways, you need to practice safe procedures when you go to pass a slower boat and be able to signal appropriately. You should know how to boat at a safe speed and how to dock as well.

Boating safety is the most important part of an effective boating course. Most boating accidents are caused because captains have not taken a boating course. These boating courses will show you all aspects of boating safety and how to practice this at all times for the good of yourself as well as your passengers and others on the water.

You can find certified boating courses in many places – often nearby. Check with your local marina and ask about what type of boating courses they offer. Their boating professionals will often conduct boating courses at many times throughout the season. It can be the most responsible thing you do as a boater when you take one of these courses.
Many boat dealers will have the “inside track” into boating courses that are offered in your area. They’ll be happy to share this information with you. All you have to do is ask!

Look online for some boating courses that you can do from the comfort of your own home. Most of these boating courses will have you study different modules that have to do with all aspects of boating. At the end of each section, there will usually be a quiz. At the end of the course, you will have to pass a comprehensive exam on all material at which time you will be deemed a certified boat operator.

Taking a boating course will make it easier for you to obtain your boat license. You probably wouldn’t go and take a driver’s license test without studying a little bit first. The same holds true of getting a boating license. Take a boating course, and the test will be a piece of cake!
Boating courses are valuable troves of information that will help make you a better boater. Seek one out and reap the benefits.

Fishing for Small Mouth Bass

2009-03-05T03:27:00.001-05:00

The Thrilling Quest for Smallmouth Bass

Smallmouth fishing is said to be best experienced in Southwest Louisiana. This is a place near bayous, canals, freshwater and salty lakes. The waters here draw numbers of smallmouth and largemouth bass ranging up to eight-pounds.

Smallmouth bass fishing is enjoyed by fishermen all over America. Searching and then finally catching the big smallmouth bass is a real achievement for the true blue American sport fisherman. It is considered to be the America?s number one fresh water sport. Believe it or not, this sport has grown 70% higher than any other fresh water sport in America.

The smallmouth bass is believed to be, pound for pound, one of the hardest fighting freshwater fish. The bass runs acrobatic leaps and does "tail walking" making it one of the most exciting fishes to pursue.

Before you go in search for thet elusive smallmouth bass, you must first know its characteristics or how it looks like. Smallmouth bass are habitually bronze to brownish green in color. It has dark vertical bars on the sides. Unlike the largemouth, the upper jaw of a small mouth does not merely extend beyond rear margin of the eye. The eye of a smallmouth is reddish. It has 13 to 15 rays of soft dorsal fins. Its length would go from 12 to 22 inches. And it normally weighs 8 ounces to 7 pounds.

Here are some guides and tips that can help you bag a smallmouth bass:

If you fish for smallmouth in the northeast, particularly in Maryland, you will find that small mouth bass do not stick too tight to cover their presence. This is more obvious in some of our the slack water reservoirs. This fish relates much more to a sudden or rapid depth change when they do go for cover.

Small mouth bass can be caught on a rock ledge that drops off quickly from about six to twelve feet.

When trapping a smallmouth bass that is about four or five pounds, try to swim along with them maki9ng your presence inconspicuous.

An effective trap for smallmouth bass are plastic worms or flies.

They are less aware when they are feeding or think they will be feeding.

This type of sport fish will be usually found on rocky structures
with and without light weed lines.

The smallmouth has and exceptional sense of sight, smell, and hearing.

The smallmouth. like most fish, is light-shy.

Smallmouth bass are schooling fish by nature, so you are likely to catch several bass in the same locations.

Once you catch one smallmouth, chances are you will have a chance to catch more about the same size in the immediate area.

One of the most effective and most popular methods of tricking or catching a small mouth is to work over the top of these weed beds. Some fishermen prefer jigs, while others choose live bait.

Here is a list that shows the best top water flies in order to trick small mouth bass:

1. Stonefly Bugger - size 6
2. Franke Hellgrammite - size 4
3. Clouser Minnow - size 6
4. Sneaky Pete - size 4
5. Crayfish - size 8
6. Popper - size 6
7. Zonkers - size 4
8. Bead Head Wooly Bugger- size 6

When is the right time to fish for small mouth bass?

Smallmouth bass are active in cold waters so, you might catch up with this fish in the early spring. Start searching for them when the water temperature is in the mid-40s. The smallmouth might just be about 20-30 feet deep in the waters, or might be waiting for the temperature to rise a little before emerging higher.

When the temperature begins to reach mid-50s, the smallmouth will start to move on to cooler or deeper holes, change your technique. Or else do not even bother yourself in attempting to search them out. All you will need is something to aid you in searching the bottom. It could be a bait or lure that will catch the attention of small mouth bass. A plastic worm will be a good strategy with this because even the most slow-moving bass will respond when you drag one slowly in its nose. Then when that happens start the battle in search for these small mouths.

But do not forget, you are in search for a completely different fish.
They are not just an ordinary fish?. They are SMALLMOUTH BASS!!

Bass Fishing in Florida

2009-03-01T03:24:00.002-05:00

Experience Bass Fishing in Florida and Live the Adventure of a Lifetime

The state of Florida is known for its exceptional bass fishing. Its popularity has yielded a million dollar industry for this state. A lot of boats on the market are designed specifically for bass fishing and generates revenues as well for the boat owners.

There are lots of beautiful species found underneath which captivate fishermen as well as tourists out for some snorkeling or swimming. For people who specialize in fishing, it is a dream come true to capture such wonderful species. It is a thrilling experience one can never forget. Good freshwater fishing can be found not only in lakes but also in ponds, creeks and canals.

Largemouth Bass, Redfish, Black Crappie and Trout are some of the fascinating sea creatures targeted by expert fishermen in the many inland lakes of Florida. Fishing guides are very courteous and friendly. This allows the customer to take full advantage of the knowledge and expertise in the migratory patterns of baitfish and the predatory fish that pursue them throughout the different seasons of the year.

St. John River is the longest river in Florida. Its clear copper-colored waters and floating hyacinth islands are bold and enchanting. The area contains marshy wetlands as well as citrus groves which are irrigated by zigzag canals linking the reservoirs, swamps, lakes, palm trees, flat-water marshes and cypress stands. Large numbers of the best and the biggest trophy black bass are caught in regular basis. Wetland-dependent species thrive here including blue
herons, limpkins, pelicans, turkey, alligators, bald eagles, rabbits, wild hogs, tortoise, deer, wood storks, populous and ospreys.

The river itself is great for fishing and catching enormous sizes of fish. In order to fish bass from rivers, it is best to seek out breaks in the current, perhaps from a fallen tree, a stump, or rocks. The fish that bass feed upon will normally school below a dam, thereby making these spots ideal for bass fishing. There are numerous techniques available to pursue the sport of bass fishing.

For a beginner, it is advised to gather more basic tools to get started. Also it is suggested to start with artificial bait until the angler has a better understanding of the unique characteristics of the
bass fish. Both amateur and seasoned anglers use Spinner bait.

Ditches and dikes were constructed in the St. John?s River headwaters in order to serve agricultural pursuits. To expose rich soils to grow citrus, row crops, and to raise beef cattle, the marshes were drained.
However, channeling the St. John?s headwaters for groves, farms and ranches eliminated hundreds of thousands of acres of marshes, upset the fragile wetlands ecology that was the foraging, nesting and nursery habitat for wildlife, and made the area susceptible to damage from floods from hurricanes.

In the year 1988, the Management District and the US Army Corps of Engineers began a project to restore the drained marshes, construct reservoirs, levees, canals, spillways and water control structures to provide flood protection to the area. The project also created some fantastic trophy bass fisheries. Since then more than 150,000 acres of marshes are being restored and enhanced in the Upper St. John s River headwaters reclamation project.

The space Coast of Brevard County is considered among many fishermen to be the Redfish Capital of the world?. It is almost an entirely closed system were in, the Big Bull Redfish do not migrate to the open waters of the Atlantic Ocean, therefore increasing the opportunity to catch the fish of a lifetime. It is not rare to catch Redfish. The brawl of this game fish is both unmistakable and unforgettable. It pulls hard on the drag and can coil your line in a matter of seconds.

Bass Fishing Tips for Success

The Practical Bass Fishing Tips for a Successful Fishing Experience

Many men have found bass fishing quite a relaxing experience. Although Bass fish have been known to be quite a fighter and a struggler the sheer excitement of waiting and finally snagging it releases certain chemicals into the body that provides a euphoric feeling making the experience all worthwhile and satisfying.

Many men and women have come back from a bass fishing expedition feeling light and perky even though they have been outdoors the whole time. The strenuous activity seems to have recharged their bodies.

The popularity Bass fishing has garnered over the years has grown to an all time high with more and more people discovering its joys. Some though are reluctant to start because they have not got a single shred of idea on what to do. Here are some tips to get you started and some secret to act like an experienced bass fish catcher.

Baits

Artificial baits have been known to catch quite a few Bass! You can also use baitfish, such as a mullet, with much more visually attractive artificial bait over it or with its backbone removed so
that it swims more naturally and with a 2-ounce egg sinker on the hook to keep it just under the waves.

Approach

The best way to get a surface fish, as in any other fishing, is to be sure you keep your distance. Fishing down the creek would help if the water flow is fairly decent. It doesn?t have to be a lot but enough to keep your bait moving. If there are any bushes, trees, or shrubs around try to hide behind them then cast your line in (fly fishing rods are great for this matter).

But remember, to quietly sneak up to them. Any hole with a lot of fish in a river or creek takes a lot of patience. If they hear or see you, you will probably not get any bites. Also look for rocks around the creek. If the soil is moist or damp, lift up the rocks and you may find some native worms. .

For night time bass use a black jitterbug. Replace the hooks with better hooks and if there is no moon then use some sort of glow in the dark paint on the under side of the lure or they will miss it a lot.

If you have lily pads in a spot or two, then the best advice if it is deep is to run a worm or any soft bait slowly along the bottom right next to the lily pads. You can also buy plastic frogs and mice to skip along the top of the lily pads.

Location

Water weeds extending about five feet out into the water are a very good source of bass cover. You can run any kind of artificial bait along the edge of them and usually snag one or two. Or you can put a weed less worm right in the middle of the weeds.

Try to look for underwater structures like big rocks and big stumps. They serve as cover for the bass. Try all the kinds of lures that you can. Cast in one area around five times just to see if there is any fish that need teasing.

If you catch a fish DON'T LEAVE THAT SPOT stay there and fish more after you have removed the hook. Fish will follow the fish on your line and try to steal the bait. Especially if it is white bass you can sometimes catch two at a time with crappie and perch that is if you have a double rig.

Worms usually work well during light to heavy over cast skies and spinners usually work better in the morning when the sun is reflecting off the water. When you set the hook, try to keep your line tight and maybe even give it another set. When they jump it is real hard to keep your line tight.

Make sure you aren't using dull hooks. Also, smaller hooks can penetrate easier, making them harder to throw. In most instances, though, nothing beats an aggressive hook set, and then keeping steady pressure on the fish, especially when they go airborne.

Bass Fishing Lures

2009-01-27T03:20:00.002-05:00

Get to know more about Bass Fishing Lures

Bass fishing has evolved to a near cult popularity with so many anglers through the years thatthere have been so many products made, clubs formed, and articles written about it. Here you will read about the types of Bass fishing lures you can use to catch them. Also, there is also a list on the necessary equipments to have when going bass fishing.

The type of bass that will bite almost anything is the largemouth bass. Minnows, worms, or other live bait, plus poppers or streamers presented with a fly rod, or plugs thrown from a casting or spinning rod are ways where they can be caught. Since bass is usually associated with weeds, a weedless bait will often be necessary.
Morning and evening are the best fishing times when warm months come.
They usually like to stay in warm water and warm weather. There is only little bite during winters.

Smallmouth bass pound for pound are the scrappiest fish of all fresh water bass. They are usually associated with a rocky stream or lake environment where its favorite food, the crayfish, is plentiful. The best lake fishing takes place in the month in June and just after, the spawning season, and in early fall. Natural lure like hellgrammites, dragonfly larvae and crayfish are especially useful during early morning or late evening. Most likely, the best artificial lures are those who are used on the surface. Light tackle is ideal. Fish quietly, casting toward rocks or logs, keeping the rod tip up and the line tight. Many fishermen debate on the colors used for their lures.
This may vary on the bass fish that is to be caught.

Fishing requires more than just a simple fishing rod and some lure for serious fisherman. People who fish for leisure are those who fish because it?s their hobby, they can have some tools and accessories that will help them make it easier and be able to catch more fish.
Here are some suggested tools for starters that will help them improve in catching fish:

Fishing Rod. The most important piece of equipment and should be chosen with care. A basic rod-and-reel set is enough for beginners.
It is necessarily important to have more featured materials. The most important is that you should learn how to use the rod and be comfortable to it before moving into another difficult type of equipment. Professional fisherman can experiment different types of rod for them to know what works best for them.

When buying a fishing rod, know before you enter the store what kind of fishing you'll be doing, and under what conditions. Rods come from different varieties of materials, from wood laminates to fiberglass to carbon fiber. Rod handles should fit securely in your palm, and practice casting with the rod, to test how flexible and easy to use it is. In addition have the proper length of the rod. For using lighter lure, or catching tiny fish, a 4 inch to 6 inch rod is advisable to use. For using larger lure, which gets larger fishes or casting longer distances, a rod of at least 6 inches may be required.

Waders. It is a water- resistant covering you wear over your pants
to keep them dry so you can wade out into the water. A lot of them are made like overalls, covering the chest and the legs, and with boots attached, for ultimate defense. Make sure the boots are warm and secure, to supply better balance while walking on wet rocks.

Fishing Vest. Contains several pockets for storing fish equipments and your hands are free to manage the fishing rod. Also, should you have to wade out into the water, wearing a vest will let you to have all of your gear with you at all times. Make a decision beforehand which gear is necessary; if you store too much in the vest, it may make it too heavy to wear, which could bring you down.

Tackle Box or Fly Box. In fishing it requires a lot of supplies and you need a something big to store all your gears. Spend in a durable tackle box, in which you can store your entire lure, keeping it easily to get to. Styles are classified into simple and inexpensive, and
large and costly. Fishermen may only need something small, but the more advanced fishermen may want something handier. Furthermore, you should consider a fly box. Small enough to fit a vest pocket and allows you to keep them with you as needed.

Learning Basic Bass Fishing Techniques

2009-01-19T03:16:00.002-05:00

Learn Basic Guides on Bass Fishing

As you spend more and more hours and days on bass fishing, you will acquire lots of knowledge about the right lure and technique for the proper way to do this sport. The best advice most experienced and seasoned bass fishermen, is to examine the fishing conditions, ask for tips from anglers familiar with the waters you are fishing in, and finally, try many different lures and bass fishing techniques until you discover what works most effectively to the situation, and which one you are most comfortable with.

Here are some Guides to Bass Fishing to become a better Bass Fisher.

The Technique:

The bait must fall to the preferred depth, then you have to shake the rod tip. By this, you'll be getting the fishes attention. Do this for at least 30 seconds, then shaking again for about 2 or 3 seconds intervals, stop and pull slowly about six inches. Then dropping again, slowly back and down and repeating the process. The first thing to remember if they're not biting is to slow down.

Tips:

During Springtime, fish uphill (position the boat in shallow water and cast to deep water) and use a 1/8 ounce weight.

Fish downhill in Fall.

Try to use a Texas rigged worm to prevent hang-ups.

Fish out the worm and keep suspended 90% of the time.

Always try to sharpen the hooks to make sure you have maximized your hookup percentage.

When doodling, it is critical to keep your presentation natural by downsizing your hooks to 1/0 or lower, and paying delicate, attention to how straight your bait is in order to maintain a natural presentation.

Crystal clear waters can be tough. The secret to fishing weenie worms is to keep slack on your line and "shake" the bait instead of dragging. The shaking of the rod and your light line gives your worm, grub or reaper an amazing action.

When to Go:

When the bass quit hitting during the daytime and when it becomes uncomfortably hot on the lake are good signals that it's time to start night fishing. Night fishing is usually practiced when the water is in the mid-60s or warmer.

Places to Fish:

Where to fish at night is a question commonly asked by bass fishermen. Bass don't move great distances in most situations. Smallmouth bass, especially, are proven stay-at-homes. As the summer wears on, the bass tend to move deeper and won't come up shallow, even at night in many lakes. Night fishing is productive when the bass are within the 20-foot zone

Tips and Guides

Position yourself only as far away as water clarity dictates; stay close enough for consistent accuracy.

Try to make the lure land on the water with as little noise as possible. Cast past the target when possible.

In windy weather, put tension on the line just before the lure touches down. This will straighten out the line and prevent it from blowing across obstructions.

Learn casting techniques that permit a low trajectory, such as flipping, pitching, sidearm casting and underhand casting.

Use a quality rod and reel matched to the weight of the lure. Rods with a stiff blank but relatively fast (limber) tip are easier to cast than extremely stiff or uniformly limber rods.

Cast with the wrist, not the arm and shoulder.

Lower the lure a few inches below the rod tip before casting; this gives extra momentum for the cast.

Be sure to "load" the rod tip, causing it to bend backward, on the back-cast, then whip the rod forward smoothly.

Fill the spool of any type reel to within 1/8 inch of the lip of the spool. DO NOT OVERFILL!

The Flip-Cast; use your wrist, NOT your arm.

Concentrate on the spot you want to hit, not on what you want to miss.
Use plenty of scent when trying to penetrate thick cover - it acts as a lubricant.
Stick to basic jig colors (black/blue, brown/brown, black/chartreuse).
Use a plastic worm with a glass bead between the worm and the weight for inactive fish.
If you think it's a strike, reel down until your rod is in a hookset position before you check.
A strike is anything different (something you wouldn't feel in a bathtub!).
Tighten your drag all the way down for better hooksets.
Use 17 to 25 pound test line for bait casting gear, 10 to 14 pound test on spinning (for flipping finesse baits).

In order to establish a pattern it is essential you understand how a bass lives in its environment. Knowing where the bass can be found at any given time or place is something you must develop. Always go fishing with a plan in mind.

Remember that every fish you catch can reveal clues on how to catch another. After establishing a pattern, realize that when the action slows down in the area you were fishing, you can then search for more areas that would fill the same criteria.

Yoga Clothes and their Effects

2008-12-17T01:06:00.005-05:00

Yoga Clothes – Choose the best

In choosing the perfect yoga clothes, of course they should be comfortable and made to give you a relaxing effect.

The best yoga clothes are those that allow you to freely move and prevent instances of distraction and disturbance when you are having your practice. They need to feel good on your skin so that you will be free from irritations.

Yoga clothes are an important accessory because it sets you into the mood. If you don’t have the perfect set of yoga clothes, your day of practicing will be not be good.

During a heavy practice, it is expected that you will sweat too much. Some people don’t really sweat too hard but if you do, you should wear absorbent clothes so that the sweat in your body will be minimized and give you a dry feeling.

When you are all covered by sweat, you will have that sticky feel which keeps you uncomfortable and sometimes feel scratchy.

Although yoga clothes don’t need to look that good, it is still important that you wear attractive ones so that you will have a good look and feel. Confidence is also an affecting factor in practicing. If you wear good yoga clothes, then you will not feel discriminated. So choose the best clothes that will match with your personality.

In practicing yoga, there is no requirement in choosing your clothes. If you want to show off some skin, it’s up to you. If you have a body with good shape, you can wear fitting shirts and pants.

If you don’t have that figure, but think that you have the guts, no one will scold you. After all, you’re the one who carries your body as long as you can handle it. Here are the common things you need when looking for in yoga clothing.

Yoga Tops – first thing you should consider in choosing a yoga top is that it should not fall in your face. Tops are designed to let you move freely and not be distracted when doing the exercise. If you are going to wear tee shirts, it should not be that long and should not cover the lower part of your body.

This is important in checking the alignment of your lower body because you can see whether your knees and ankles are aligned properly. Most women wear sports bras so that in doing some movements, they are sure that it holds them securely and prevent chances of falling out when stretching.

Yoga Pants – Choosing your yoga pants is quite delicate. The texture and surface of some pants may not give you a comfortable feel. The length of the pants is one of the things to consider in choosing it. Some pants are long that it reaches your ankles. If this is not comfortable to you, you should wear pants that are below your knees. This allows you to move freely.

Yoga Shorts – this is a good choice if you are practicing hot yoga or known as the Bikram Yoga. This type of yoga is done in a room at a high temperature. Wearing shorts will let go of the heat inside your body.

Choosing your yoga clothes doesn’t mean that it has to be expensive. What is important is that you feel good and comfortable deep inside.

Benefits of Yoga 3: yoga also massages all organs of the body. Yoga is perhaps the only exercise that can work on through your internal organs in a thorough manner,including those that hardly get externally stimulated during our entire lifetime.

Benefits of Yoga 4: Yoga acts in a wholesome manner on the various body parts. This stimulation and massage of the organs in turn benefits us by keeping away disease and providing a forewarning at the first possible instance of a likely onset of disease or disorder.

One of the far-reaching benefits of yoga is the uncanny sense of awareness that it develops in the practitioner of an impending health disorder or infection.

How to Find The Right Bicycle

2008-12-02T17:07:00.000-05:00

If you missed any part of The Bicycle Series click here

The first thing to do before purchasing a bicycle for any reason is to know what your primary riding is going to be. Most people initially purchase a dual use bike, something that can be ridden on road and off road. Eventually, when the bug bites big it'll be time to invest in a bike that is all muscle for the mountains.

One of the ways that mountain bikes differ from other bikes is that they have very strong, lightweight frames, multiple gears, powerful breaks and wide tires. A comfort bike, or recreational weekend bike, touring bikes and cruiser bikes are built more for comfort than durability. WIthin the mountain bike category there are several types of bikes available; the cross country bike, the trials bike, the downhill bike and the jump/slalom bike.

Generally the largest percentage of mountain bikes sold are in the cross country, or XC classification. These are good dual purpose bikes. They are lightweight and good for riding over tough terrain, but they are also comfortable for road riding. Jump/slalom bikes are also good dual purpose bikes. They are very strong and have an excellent front suspension.
Downhill and trial bikes are for serious mountain bikers. The downhill bikes have both front and rear suspension, disc breaks and are very strong. A trial bike is for a very skilled rider. Trail riding itself is a very competitive sport demanding a lot of precision. Most riders of downhill and trail bikes build their bikes from scratch, choosing each component individually.

You will want to do a lot of reading about different types of bikes, and you'll want to visit many bike shops. A cross country mountain bike can cost between $600 and $800 or more. Some bikers say that your first bike should be the best bike you can possibly afford, even if you think that it's too much bike for you. If you buy a low-end bike initially and then find you want to change components later it can get costly.
Before choosing a bike you will want to ride it. Most dealers allow for a 15 to 20 minute test ride. If you do a test ride make sure you go "off road" if you can, even if it's over curbs and grass. You want to get a feel for the bike.

There are many different types and styles of bicycles. You will need to decide on the type of biking you will be predominantly doing in order to help you narrow down your choices. Below are just some of the types of bicycles available on the market today.

The first bicycle we will mention here are what are considered by some to be comfort bicycles. These are the type used by most weekend recreational bike riders. They usually have a comfortable shock-absorbing seat and shock absorbing front forks and wide pedals.

Another type of bike which is a bit more rugged than the comfort bike is a trail bike or light duty mountain bike. These bikes can take a bit more rough stuff than the bikes mentioned above but are not meant for serious mountain biking.

Touring bicycles are for those who go long distances and faster than recreational bike riders. These bikes are built for riding on the pavement. They are light weight bikes with more shock absorbency than comfort bikes.
Cruiser bikes are heavier than the comfort bikes with fatter tires. They are good for the road, or riding in the sand.

A true mountain bike has a stronger frame and components than any other bike as they are intended for off road and rugged terrain. The tires on a mountain bike are knobby and wide for more shock support. The seat and handlebars are positioned to allow for the rider to lean over while maneuvering the bike.
Recumbent bicycles are becoming very popular with older riders and those who have some limits in physical ability. The rider reclines while pedaling in a feet forward position. The seat is much more comfortable than on any other bicycle. Recumbent bikes sit low to the ground and have multiple gears.
Talk with family and friends who own bikes to get their opinion on what may be the best investment for you. If you don't think that you'll stick with bike riding long term and if you don't plan to do more than weekend riding you don't need to spend a fortune. Visit several bicycles shops and talk with the pro's before making a decision. You can get many years of enjoyment if you choose the right bike for you.

For most of us, well-intentioned but casual bike riders who secretly believe we might be Lance Armstrong's heir if we only had a few more hours a day to spend on our bicycles, buying a new road bike is tantamount to buying a road bike frame. The frame is what we're thinking of, something new and shiny and colorful, something we suspect even car drivers envy when they see us flash through the snarl of traffic. Truly, a road bike frame is a beautiful thing and part of the reason we love bicycling.
When you have the good fortune to be looking at new bicycles, though, you definitely want to look at a few elements besides the color of a road bike frame. Face it. When you're on your way back home from a long Sunday ride and you're riding your thirty-fifth mile smack into a stiff headwind, the fact that your frame is cobalt blue or even Bianchi green is not going to help you. The length of your seat tube is going to help you and the length of your top tube and even the angle of the three main tubes all put together is going to help (or hinder) you, but color is not.

If you shop at a discount store or even a general purpose sports store, if you get any help at all in choosing a bike that fits you, it will probably consist of a clerk instructing you to stand over the top bar of the frame and see if you can comfortably straddle it with your feet on the floor. This is not really particularly helpful, especially if you happen to have anything unique about your physique, like long legs combined with a short torso. If you have long legs, you can straddle almost any bike, but will your body be able to relax comfortable in the stretch between your saddle and the handlebars? The whole geometry of the road bike frame matters a lot to fit. And fit matters excessively to comfort.

If you're a racer, comfort will not be your only consideration. Indeed, it may be down among the last elements you consider. Speed is not usually built from comfort, and the road bike frame that promotes speed is built of different materials than one used primarily for recreational riding. Frames can be made of titanium, chrome-moly, aluminum or steel, and each metal has different advantages of weight and strength. Frame geometry varies, too, with touring bikes featuring a longer vertical base and top tube than the skittish racing models.

So when you're looking at road bike frames, think beyond the paint. Get a frame that fits both you and your purpose. Whether you do your research online or in a good bike store, you'll be glad you took the time.

Working out with Exercise Bikes

2008-11-22T15:47:00.001-05:00

If you have missed any part of THE BICYCLE SERIES click the link.

Exercise bikes are an excellent way of working out. They are high impact cardio vascular workout machines. They help in losing weight by shedding the calories and also help in toning up the muscles of the lower body especially the lower limb and the calf muscles. It's very convenient for people to listen to music or read a book while they are on the exercise bikes. Its convenient as exercise bikes can be installed at home. Unlike treadmills and fitness rowers, which take a huge amount of space. Therefore even in a small area, you can have a great workout.

The popularity of the exercise bikes is second to that of treadmills. The exercise bikes are available for as little as $200 for the stationary exercise bikes and go up to $3000 for an exercise bike with all the frills added. Exercise bikes work on the principle of resistance to magnetic, air or a flywheel. All have their own advantages, therefore before you make purchases, read the these reviews of exercise bikes available on the Internet as well as in many magazines.

Almost all exercise bikes will also have some sort of a control panel. This control panel gives the display of the heart rate, the calories burnt, the distance covered etc.
Before you buy a exercise bike, look for the reviews in various magazines as well as websites. See whether you require a simple exercise bike or a more advanced exercise bike. You can also opt for an used exercise bike. You can also ask your personal trainer for giving you the reviews of the exercise bike will be beneficial as they will give you an impartial advice, versus the salespeople of the exercise bike company. Also ask the advice of those who have already used or are currently using an exercise bike.

Exercise bikes are available in various types of models as well as costs to suit all budgets and needs of people. There are three types of exercise bikes and these are upright exercise bike, semi-recumbent exercise bike and recumbent exercise bike. Depending upon your need you can buy the one, which suits your needs. It's a great cardio vascular workout and helps one to lose calories easily as well as tone up the figure. The recumbent stationary cycle is as popular as the treadmill to burn the calories and attain a good and fit body.

The recumbent exercise bikes help a person to reduce the blood pressure level. The person is seated very close to the floor. The feet of the person are near the chest level. Control panels display various readings and this helps a person on the recumbent exercise bike to see whether they are achieving the target that they had set for themselves. The control panel gives the readings for the pulse rate, heart rate, the number of calories burnt, the distance traveled etc. the biggest advantage is that one can exercise at any point of time on the recumbent exercise bike.The bikes can be adjusted for the height. It's easy to adjust the height of the seat as well as the resistance levels.

There are also various programs which are designed for both the beginner as well as the for a more advanced workout. Its important that you seek the advice of a doctor and personal trainer before one can start exercising on a recumbent exercise bike, so you don't put yourself at risk of a medical complication. Also ask people who are currently exercising on a recumbent exercise bike before you start working out on one too.

The whole gist of this article is 'do your research well'. Follow that principle and you should have a satisfying buy experience.

Riding Safe and the Bike Survival Kit

Ride Safe .... The Tools Every Biker Should Have Along for the Ride

If you missed any part of this series on Pocket Bikes click this Pocket Bikes link

It’s actually quite easy to do routine maintenance on your own bike. And having the right tools for the job can mean the difference between enjoying an all-day ride and having to pack your bike up and head back home when something goes awry.

So, what tools do you need to take along for the ride? First and foremost, you should have the tools to repair a flat fire. Next, invest in the tools needed to maintain your chain and brakes.

Bike Survival Kit
A basic bike survival kit should include: Tire patch kit Pump Chain tool Screwdriver Spare tube Wrenches in various sizes. A more extensive bike survival kit would include: Chain cleaners Solvents specifically designed for bike chains Lubrication.

Things to Check for Before You Hit the Road

Brakes: Ensuring your brakes are working well is vitally important. Make sure you check your pads often to prevent rim damage and to ensure that your bike actually stops when it is supposed to. Adjusting the tension is also important.

Chain: Degrease the chain and re-lube it. Clean rear sprockets with a brush tool. Gears: Check derailleur gear action and cables. Degrease chain and re-lube. Clean rear sprockets with brush tool.

Pedals: Make sure the axle spins freely. Check bottom bracket axles for looseness. Steering: Make sure handlebar and stem is tight.

Frame: Check for damage. Make sure the seat is adjusted appropriately for your height. Wheels: Make sure spokes and nipples are tightened and wheels are trued. Check tire pressure and condition. If your suspension fork is quick release, make sure they are tightly fastened, and don’t forget to check tire pressure.

Choosing Bicycle Rims And Wheels for Your Bike

2008-11-02T14:29:00.002-05:00

The first bicycle wheels were from a horse drawn cart, made of wood with a metal band round the bicycle rim, very hard and very uncomfortable to ride. Then a man called Dunlop (Scottish) invented the pneumatic tire, this along with Macadam (another Scot) inventing the tar road surface made cycling a lot more comfortable.

The bicycle rim, like the bicycle frame hasn’t changed much in design, its still round and always will be. From the first wooden rims the next were made of steel, then alloy and now if you can afford it, carbon. Of all bicycle parts the bicycle rim can make a big difference to how your bike handles. First the weight of your rim affects your sprinting and climbing as the weight will low you down, for a long, flat effort the weight isn’t so important as when you get the wheels rolling the weight can help to keep them going.
The shape of the rim can be important also, a flat rim is best for climbing as aerodynamics are not so important on a hill, a deep section, aero, rim will help you cut through the air, but in a cross wind could cause you handling problems.

Bicycle Rims Materials
The different materials used for rims are very important also, steel is heavy and if damaged can be difficult to pull back into shape, but because its so strong it is quite difficult to bend in the first place and steel is cheaper than all the other materials. Alloy is probably the most popular rim, it can be made in any shape and profile, flat or aero, but not too deep as it would then weigh too much, most deep section rims are of a alloy braking section nearest the tire which is then mounted to a carbon deep section for lightness and aerodynamics and a very beautiful looking bicycle rim.

As with most things if money is no problem you can go for the best, this would be an all carbon rim, strong and very light, but there are a few problems with these rims, first they don’t brake so well in wet conditions and you must use special brake blocks for carbon and they can be expensive, also the rim has to be perfectly round and not have any bulges in the rim wall as this will make braking quite erratic, carbon is a difficult material to work with and must be well looked after.

Types Of Rim To Consider
There are also two types of rim to consider and this depends on which kind of tire you want to use, first there are tubular tires these are glued on to the bicycle rim, cost more and are difficult to repair after a puncture, but for racing they feel and ride wonderfully. Clincher tires have improved a lot recently and are nearly as good as tubulars for performance and are easily repairable and more reasonably priced. Most manufacturers make all styles in both systems.

So which should I buy? Not an easy answer, as there is so much to choose from, years ago you went to your local bike shop, picked out which hubs, spokes and rims you wanted and he would build your wheels, but now most rim makers also manufacture there own wheel sets, Mavic, Shimano and Campagnolo are probably the best known, check out there web-sites for all there new goodies, there are other brands and if you go to your local cycle shop or look in the bike magazines you’ll find them.
There is a lot to choose form, but they are all round.

Shopping for a new 50cc Pocket Bike

2008-10-28T14:06:00.002-04:00

Shopping for a new 50cc Pocket Bike
If you missed any part of this series here ia a link to the beginning....
Pocket Bikes RacingPocket Bike Sports

If you are planning to shop for a new 50cc pocket bike, you need to know what exactly it is you are searching for, and the right questions to ask before you visit a store, or even before you shop online, if that's your preferred method. Not paying especially close attention to specific features, or not asking the right questions can result in you buying a 50cc pocket bike that you don't really want, or even worse, can't use.

First, know exactly what you want your 50cc pocket bike will be used for. Will it be fun and recreation, or will you be racing? This decision has to be firmly set in your mind before you go out to make the purchase. If you will be using the pocket bike for recreational purposes, and you have no intention of racing, you can expect to pay about $400 or a little more. A very reasonable price.

It's a completely different story if you want to race. If you eventually plan to race, you may find that you need to pay up to a full $7000 to get what you want. The price difference shows you pretty quickly why you have to know what you're investing in. Generally you will find that any pocket bikes you are looking at were made in one of two places. There are the pocket bikes that are built in Italy, and there are pocket bikes that are manufactured in China.

The bikes made in Italy are typically among the highest quality bikes. Higher quality also brings a higher price, but once again what you should be willing to spend on a 50cc pocket bike depends on what you are going to use it for. If the bike is going to be used solely for recreational purposes, then look at the ones made from China, because the difference is not that large if it is just for fun. If you're looking to race, buy from Italy.

Keep in mind pocket bikes are not very comfortable, due to their small size - unless you are very small or a kid. So, comfort isn't what you need to look for, however, you still need to be comfortable enough to ensure that you have full control of the bike at all times. Take the bike for a test run, and make sure that your body isn't touching anything that it shouldn't, like the exhaust pipe, and that you're comfortable controlling the bike.

Talk to the pocket bike dealer to find out what spare parts are available for the bike, and how hard those parts may be to get. Find out what parts need to be replaced often. Remember, they sell 50cc pocket bikes for a living, and they are probably the best experts you are going to find. They will be able to tell you all you need to know about what the bikes need, and what they don't need. Also, find out if there is a mechanic at the dealership, or in the town, that is capable of making repairs should they be needed, and inquire about warranties as well, the same types of information you would want for a new car.

Make an informed decision based on your needs, and you will find a pocket bike an enjoyable investment.

A 110cc pocket bike is a miniature motorcycle

2008-10-25T13:47:00.002-04:00

A 110cc pocket bike is a miniature motorcycle that is becoming increasingly popular. There are even Pocket Bike races held world wide now, with some of the pros taking home thousands of dollars in cash and prizes. 110cc pocket bikes look like they were built for kids, they are typically 38 to 47 inches long and weigh about 50 pounds, but don't let the small size fool you. The 110cc pocket bikes are specifically built for adult drivers.

The 110cc bikes are made in Italy, and can reach speeds of up to 75 miles per hour. The 110cc pocket bikes have a 30 inch wheelbase, which in layman's terms means that you are barely inches from the ground. This definitely adds an adrenaline rush when it comes to high speed turns! Due to their miniature size, riding a pocket bike offers certain thrills that cannot be obtained on a regular motorcycle.

Pocket bike racing is also the most affordable motor sport in existence today, which is no small part why it is also one of the fastest growing. This draws participants from all over the world, offering them the ability to get in on motor sports, when they might not be able to otherwise. Make no mistakes about it, though, riding a pocket bike isn't like riding a regular motorcycle, even though the concept of balancing on two wheels at high speed is the same. Due to its small size, riding a pocket bike requires more balance, self control, agility, and faster reaction times. The adrenaline rush is a major reason many beginning participants become hooked and life-long fans

Pocket bikes can be suitable for children over the age of nine, as long as they are very carefully supervised. The bikes were designed for adults, and so are set to support up to 300 pounds of weight. 110cc pocket bikes are not designed or intended for street use, these are bikes made for racing on tracks. Protective gear should be worn by both kids and adults at all times. This includes, but is not limited to, helmet, gloves, knee and elbow pads, and leather clothes in case of an accident. While they may look like toys, the 110cc pocket bikes were designed for extreme motor racing, and need to be treated with the same respect accordingly.

Pocket bike racing is a sport with great appeal all across the world

2008-10-22T13:39:00.002-04:00

Pocket bike racing is a sport with great appeal all across the world.

While Japan is credited with the first large scale cultural interest and organization of pocket bike racing, this is no longer just a Japanese or Asian phenomenon.

Pocket bike racing is a sport that continues to grow in appeal all across the world. Pocket bike racing has increased dramatically in popularity through out the world. While the United States and Australia are two of the most noted places where this sport is growing rapidly, don’t forget Europe!

Switzerland actually holds a championship that is gaining international recognition. Geographically close to Italy, where almost all of the highest quality racing pocket bikes are manufactured now, the Swiss Pocket bike Championship first appeared in 1996. This happened when a pocket bike club (the Gruyere Pocket Bike Club, to be precise) decided to compete against all Swiss pocket bike riders who showed. It has been growing ever since and now the Swiss Championship has grown to become one of the biggest in the world, when compared to the nation's size.

Commonly the competition will now have over 120 competitors, with a few of them coming even from nearby countries like France, Austria and Liechtenstein.
There are between 8 to 11 races on 8 to 11 different tracks that are counted for the championship, meaning there are anywhere from 64-121 races. Several categories are awarded based on age and gender of the pilots and on the type of pocket bike (junior, stock or racing prepared).

The growth of this sport in Switzerland and Europe is a continued reflection of worldwide trends. Pocket bike racing has never been more popular in the United States than it is now, and there are no signs of it diminishing. New race circuits, pocket bike stores, and online forums pop up every year, and the devout group of pocket bike junkies grows with that number. Australia has a respectable series of races and a continued growth in the sport, and it is not like pocket bike racing just disappeared in Japan.

The sport is still going strong. The trend continues in pocket bike racing’s rising popularity, and seems to continue unabated. What was once seemingly a strange Japanese sideshow has proven itself to be far more, and with each new race, only further re-enforces its current respect.

Coalition to Save Harlem UNITY RALLY

2008-02-21T11:25:00.001-05:00

Coalition to Save Harlem
UNITY RALLY !!!
SPEAK OUT!! Against Gentrification and Displacement.
Saturday, February 23rd - 3:30 - 7:30 pm
Harriet Tubman School (Auditorium)
250 West 127th Street (btw Adam Clayton Powell Jr. & Frederick Douglass Blvds.)

Gil Noble, the venerable and courageous journalist extradordinaire, host of the award-winning ‘Like It Is,’ will moderate. Confirmed and invited Panelists/Discussion Facilitators include Sikulu Shange, of the besieged ‘Record Shack,’ Nellie Hester, leader of the Harlem Tenants’ Council, Brenda Stokely, the stalwart Engine of the fight for justice for Katrina-NOLA Levee-Break Survivors, Charles Barron, “The Peoples’ Councilman,” Viola Plummer, of The December 12th Coalition, Kevin Muhammad, and Noel Leader, One Hundred Blacks in Law Enforcement. More central to the Unity Rally will be the participation of Numerous Leaders and representatives of local tenant, housing and community struggles against predatory gentrification.
Over the past several months CSH has expanded its support base to include East Harlem and all of the five boroughs - Queens, Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island. While CSH’s main focus continues be on Harlem's commercial and residential tenants due to the long-slated and accelerated plan of predatory gentrification. In addition, the proposed rezoning of 125th Street put forth by the New York City Planning Department and Mayor Michael Bloomberg will speed up the eradication of long-term Harlem small businesses and ethnic cleansing displacement of residential tenants.
CSH is determined to provide collaborative leadership in turning the tides of this siege on our homes and businesses. CSH holds that positive change is community improvement – FOR the existing residents; that community improvement has to encompass a humane balance between “market”-manipulated demographic changes and decency. This balance MUST seek to maintain and refine the historic cultural and demographic integrity of Harlem!
The UNITY RALLY will also strengthen CHS's campaign and the Harelm and city-wide to stop the scheme of the New York City Planning Commission's (NYCPC) to turn 125th St. (Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd.) into a darkened canyon of predatorily gentrified super-luxury highrises. This scheme would destroy scores of decades-long small businesses, numerous landmarks and set the way for the cultural decimation of Harlem and and even more accelerated ehtnic cleansing of Harlem!!
This first Unity Rally will highlight neighborhood-based and collective citywide experiences with and strategies to counter -- predatory gentrification/people removals and community destruction.

Your Right to Have Satellite T V

2007-09-15T11:55:00.000-04:00

YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO SATELLITE TELEVISION

Don't let your landlord or Condo Association tell you otherwise.

The FCC has mandated that NO LANDLORD, CONDO, CITY, STATE or any other organization or government agency can disallow anyone with DEEDED SPACE or a BALCONY (in the case of an apartment) that faces a satellite, the right to put up a satellite dish under 1 meter (1.5 meters in Alaska). They CANNOT require a permit, advance notification, the payment of any fee or force the owner or tenant to move the dish (or antenna) if they don't like the way it makes the property look. As long as the space is DEEDED to an owner or on a balcony in the event of a renter - THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS to this.

Additionally, the Commission's rulings have concluded that NO GOVERNMENT or BOARD or BUILDING can require any special wind loading requirements for satellite dishes. Neither can they require that they are installed by "licensed electrical contractors" or only by installers who are members of a union.

For more information see the links at:
http://www.fcc.gov/mb/facts/otard.html

and at http://www.fcc.gov/csb/shva/

The link at http://www.sbca.com/government/zoning.htm also contains the FCC decisions on ZONINGS which have also EXPRESSLY PROHIBITED anyone from interfering with, mandating inspections, payment of fees to install, prior submission of plans, or any other zoning rules or regulations against SATELLITE DISHES or BROADCAST ANTENNAS.

The Commission's rulings overrule even restricted covenant deeds!

Dear Members and residents of Harlem:

In this last weekend, please forward this email and advise all of your neighbors and friends of the importance of coming to the 125th Street River to River forum. The agenda consists of the City Planning Commission giving an update of the rezoning plan, followed by a powerpoint presentation of the issues and concerns about the plan as reflected by the Board's approved "Our Main Street" document.

Following that, there will be an opportunity for any elected officials to make brief comments. Finally, the community will have an opportunity to suggest and express alternatives, ideas, feelings and other comments on changing the most important street in Harlem. Most of the work has been done.......please do your last reminders.

Strageties for Economic Empowerment...Eady Associates

2007-02-14T11:52:00.000-05:00

THE EMPOWERMENT INSTITUTE Featuring: Kermit Eady, President & Founder Eady Associates

SPECIAL EMPOWERMENT SEMINAR
Kermit Eady, President of Eady Associates and founder of the Black United Fund of New York and world-renowned Academician, Professor Leonard Jeffries partner together to facilitate an EXCITING empowerment seminar at the Langston Hughes Library: 100-01 Northern Blvd, Jackson Heights, New York.
Wednesday February 21, 2007, from 7:00pm - 9:30pm.

After twenty-five years of developing and building the Black United Fund of New York, Kermit Eady, founded Eady Associates in 2003. Eady Associates is a full service consulting company whose principals have years of combined training and business experience in the areas of for- profit and not-for-profit business development. The areas of specialization at Eady Associates include, but are not limited to, accessing payroll deduction markets, fundraising, computer systems and network integration, website design, motivational speaking, referral services for legal and financial services, and more.
The primary thrust of Eady Associates is to deliver the best consultation services resulting in empowerment at the individual and community levels, fostering the achievement of personal and/or business objectives in support of one’s vision. The success of this thrust brings about not only economic development, but networking and interlocking of resources and organizations, thereby creating a community support and delivery system.
Realizing the great need for the Black community to engage in business pursuits specifically, and economic development generally, and the fact that there are many members of the community that would like to start a business, the Eady Associates Empowerment Institute was founded under the aegis of the parent company. The founder further understood that in the Black community leadership is defined by activist and politicians; whereas, in other communities, the real power behind everything comes from the business community in service of their interests.
Starting BUFNY with a meager eight thousand dollars, Mr. Eady grew the organization to over $100 million in assets. Realizing that God had given him knowledge, wisdom and vision to create and develop businesses and other organizations without large sums of money, Mr. Eady knew that he must now teach others how to do the same.
Additionally, Mr. Eady also understood that as other communities have done for years, there is a need to utilize other Black business leaders to teach and train sound business concepts, principals and development. Therefore, the company is bringing together Black business persons that will assist in providing leadership to those that are availing themselves to the wealth of knowledge that the institute is providing.
The Empowerment Institute is developing a variety of funding sources to assist its graduates in securing finances. Under separate contract, specialized and personalized technical assistance will also be available to graduates.
As Eady Associates grows and develops, many more services will be added which will give its graduates more knowledge and skills in the pursuit of personalized growth, which will increase overall potential for business success.

FEBRUARY... Black History Month

2007-02-04T23:53:00.000-05:00

February marks the beginning of African American History Month, an annual celebration that has existed since 1926. Much of the credit can go to historian and Harvard scholar Carter G. Woodson, who, in 1926, organized the first annual Negro History Week, which took place during the second week of February. He chose this date to coincide with the birthdays of Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln, two men who had greatly impacted the black population. Over time, Negro History Week evolved into today's African American History Month.
Woodson's research has influenced others to carry on his work, including 2006 Kluge Medal recipient John Hope Franklin, whose 1947 landmark survey of black history, "From Slavery to Freedom," is this year's theme. Franklin joins the ranks of many notable Americans who, with the grandest of gestures or the simplest of principles, have done their part in promoting African-American equality in the United States.
One such individual is Rosa Parks, whose determination to stay seated ultimately ignited the spark of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s. The Library has put together a comprehensive guide to materials on Rosa Parks, offering links to the various collections that highlight Parks' contribution to African-American civil rights.
Another great resource documenting notable moments in the Civil Rights Movement is an image guide put together by the Prints and Photographs Division. Gleaned from the "U.S. News & World Report Photographs Collection," highlights include the images of the Civil Rights March on Washington and of President Lyndon Johnson signing the Civil Rights Act of 1968.
The Library debuts a new Web site topic page in honor of its celebration of African American History Month. Featured are spotlights on celebrated figures such as Harriet Tubman and milestone legislation like the Emancipation Proclamation, along with resources for teachers and much more.

The "Challenge" Housing Meeting

2006-10-06T13:59:00.000-04:00

Hear some of the real issues that are craftily in the works of taking Harlem away from Black people and be specifically informed what you can do to stop it. Knowledge is power. But more importantly action is divine. Some of the issues to be discussed are:

HOW CHARTER SCHOOLS WILL BE USED TO GENTRIFY HARLEM
THE PREFERENTIAL AND LEGAL RENT SCAM
ILLEGAL CONDO AND CO-OP CONVERSION
THE ILLEGALITY OF THE YEAR'S RENT GUIDELINES BOARD INCREASE
THE HARLEM MITCHELL-LAMA BUILDINGS DILEMMA
HOW TO HOLD ON TO RENTAL PROPERTIES
BROWNSTONE STEALING

Attending meetings but not being informed on the real issues affecting your existence in Harlem or told specifically what you can do about it is wasting time.

You must know your rights and what you can do to preserve

Harlem's Legacy.
