A Day in the West with a Western Themed Party

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

By Gail Leino A western themed party could be the perfect idea for your next special event. Whether its a birthday party, an anniversary or retirement, follow a cowboy/ cowgirl theme. For an outdoor party, hay bales can be turned into a wonderful accessory. They can serve as extra seating benches and the mess wont be a concern since youre outside. Place coffee cans around like old fashioned spittoons. A great party favor would be a plastic cowboy hat for each child or adult. Mini plastic toy guns can also add to the ambience for Western guests. Use the construction paper to complete a cowboy costume. Cut out stars personalized with Sheriff Tommy or whatever the guests name is on the badge. Cut out holsters, spurs, chaps or anything you can think of and then simply attach with safety pins to create a quick and easy costume. Depending on the size of your budget, live animals can add excitement to your party. You can only imagine the thrill of child getting a surprise pony ride or getting to pet a horse. Hire someone to play the role of a bad guy and let them walk around in all black. As with any party, the food is always one of the main attractions. With this type of theme you can serve what they would have on a chuck wagon or on the ranch: baked beans, jerky and coleslaw. Modern conveniences like hamburgers, hot dogs and condiments can also be snuck in! Get fancy and roast shish- ka- bobs over an open fire. If children are old enough, let them roast their own hot dogs over the fire. Activities like this are sure to create a memorable day. Party supply stores will have all the accessories you need to finish off your theme party: plates, cups, napkins and decorations. Get moving pardner and invite some guests today.

Marketing Value of Branding, Identity, and Trust

Thursday, January 31st, 2008

By Kevin Adam Who will your potential customers call when they want what you sell? Are you the only one they can call, or do you have competition? Do they go to your website, or someone else’s? What can you do to encourage these potential customers to choose you instead of your competition? All of those are important questions. And, unless yours is the only business in the world doing what you do, you’ve got competition. I’d be willing to bet that at least some of your competitors are reaching out, trying to convince your customers to do business with them. Whether your customers do or not will be the result of many factors, but there’s a lot you can do to keep them coming to you. First - what are identity, branding, and trust? And why did I put them together? Identity is what separates your business from its competitors. It’s your uniqueness; what allows you to continue in business even though you may be faced with numerous competitors. Identity is how your customer recognizes your business, and tells them who you are. Branding is how the customer knows the focus of your business. It’s how they understand the benefit of bringing you their business, instead of to your competitor. It’s the correlation — for customers and non-customers alike — between the product or service you offer and the benefit your business provides. I believe you already know the meaning of trust. So why are these together? It’s because identity, branding, and trust weave together in the public’s eye, and generally differentiate your customers and potential customers from the general public. A business can have an identity without trust, but the group that generally comes from is non-customers or former customers. This is not how you want the majority of your target audience to view your business. It’s OK for your non-customers to have heard about your business, and for it to have an identity. If it’s former customers, they’re either no longer in the market for your services, or you’ve disappointed them in the past. Branding happens when people can see some benefit to doing business with you,rather than a competitor. This goes beyond identity, and is closer to your target market. Once customers understand your branding, they’re more likely to understand the benefits of doing business with you and not go elsewhere. You don’t want your customers going elsewhere if you want your business to thrive. Fortunately, you can build your brand with trust. How do you engender trust? And what does that have to do with marketing? Trust really is the goal of marketing. Sure, you may be able to fool some people with hype, but that isn’t a sustainable business plan. You need to do what you say you’re going to do by providing the products or service you agreed to. Anything less violates the trust your customer places with you when they do business with you. Once you violate their trust, their business disappears and takes at least some referral business with it. Plus, regaining their trust makes your efforts at acquiring new customers look like a simple enterprise. You’ll find it takes far less effort to win a new customer than to restore trust. And, it’s easier and much better business to keep your promises in the first place. So, your marketing must accurately reflect the performance your customer can expect. Anything less will hurt your business. Keep in mind that, in most cases, an honest error made during the course of business won’t shake the loyalty of your customers - provided you correct the error and at least attempt to be sure it won’t happen again. Most valuable customers realize that mistakes will happen, so occasional corrected errors won’t undermine your marketing — provided you keep their trust.

Rhode Island Divorce Mediation: What Is It, Really?

Wednesday, January 30th, 2008

By Christopher Pearsall Rhode Island Divorce mediation is not a new concept. It may or may not be of benefit to you in your spouse in resolving your divorce issues. Divorce mediation typically involves you and your spouse agreeing that you will sit down with a third party as a mediator in an effort to reach an agreement that is acceptable to both spouses for the resolution of the divorce . . . or perhaps better referred to as the settlement of the marriage. It remains controversial as to whether the mediator must be an attorney or whether another third-party good at negotiating solutions to family issues is sufficient. From the perspective of a Rhode Island lawyer who focuses his legal practice in the areas of Rhode Island divorce and family law I can see the pros and cons of using either. . . . and they are significant. Consider this one example: You and your spouse either know or agree that you will get divorced. Your spouse suggests that you can reach an amicable resolution by sitting down with a Rhode Island marriage and family counselor who has had success in helping couples find common ground deciding what to do to finalize their divorce. You and your spouse go to this Rhode Island marriage and family counselor. A portion of the mediation session goes like this. Counselor: [To Both of You] Now, I know this divorce isn’t going to be easy for either of you but you both need to be able to survive and move forward with your lives after this is over, wouldn’t you agree. Parties: [Both nodding] Counselor [to You] : Okay. Now I understand that you’ve been the main earner in the household, is that right? You: Yes, that’s correct. Counselor [to Your Spouse]: And you work part-time to help out with the expenses when needed but you mainly use the money you make for your own personal spending money, is that right? Your Spouse: Yes, that’s about right. Counselor [to You]: Now you have a college degree, is that right? You: Yes Your Spouse: And I have my high school diploma. Counselor: And how long have you two been married? Your Spouse: We’ve been together for 15 years and married for almost 12 years of that time. Counselor: And during that time, who has been making what portion of the income for the most part? You: I’ve made about 80 to 85% of our income. Your Spouse: And I’ve made the remaining part. I think that is a pretty good estimate. Counselor: Now in my experience only uncivilized and vindictive people go through a divorce and try to hurt their spouse. I don’t think either of you fall into that group because you’re here meeting with me today, is that fair to say. Both You and Your Spouse: Yes. Counselor [To You]: Okay . . . now you understand that your spouse is going to have a much harder time financially to make a go of it without your income, right? You: Well, yes. Counselor [To You]: And it’s no secret that your spouse has been relying on you financially for the past 12 years to survive, right? You: I guess so. Counselor: Well, here you are getting ready to go through your divorce here in Rhode Island and it’s important that we agree regarding the things we’re discussing here today so it’s important that we are sure about thing that we agree on so it’s better if we don’t guess. Has your spouse been providing mostly for her own support for the past 12 years? You: No. Counselor: Has your spouse been relying upon someone else other than herself for her financial needs? You: Yes. Counselor: Okay, can you give me that person’s name and address. You: Well, that person is me! Counselor: Oh… there isn’t anyone else? You: Not that I know of. Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Well, is there anyone else that you’ve been relying on for your financial needs? Your Spouse: No. Counselor [To You]: So is it fair to say that your spouse has been relying on you these past 12 years? You: Yes. Counselor [To Both of You]: Now you both realize that your divorce is going to change that, right? You and Your Spouse: Yes we do. Counselor [To Both of You]: And you both realize that your spouse is going to need to survive financially after this divorce, don’t you. You and Your Spouse: That makes sense. Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Now you probably figured out already that you’re probably going to have to work on a full-time basis and take care of yourself after this divorce is done. Have you considered that? Your Spouse: Yes. Counselor [To You]: And you’ve probably figured out that you’re probably going to have to help your spouse financially for a time, right? You: What?!? Counselor [To You]: Well, your spouse has been relying on you for 12 years. We just talked about that a minute ago, correct? You: Yeah. What’s your point? Counselor [To You]: And you agreed that you both need to be able to survive financially and be able to move on with your lives after this, right? You: Yes I did, but. . . [trailing off] Counselor [To You]: You didn’t expect that you were going to support your spouse for 12 years and then just get a divorce and the family court would just let you walk away did you? I mean . . . this is 12 years you’ve been doing this for your spouse. Doesn’t it make sense that the Rhode Island family court is likely to tell you that you’ll need to provide some financial support to your spouse for a bit longer so there is time to recover financially? You: Well I didn’t think I’d have to pay . . . Counselor: But it makes sense, doesn’t it? You supported your spouse for 12 years or more and you are the one that makes most of the money. Your spouse needs a little bit of time, probably a couple of years, to adjust to this huge change, get new job skills, work up to a full-time job and perhaps develop skills for another job. You: Yeah but. . . [thinking] Counselor: So you need to be prepared to help out for some period of time, it’s only fair isn’t it? You: I suppose so. Counselor: Now you’ve built up a pretty sizeable retirement account, do I have that down right? You: Yes . . . I think it was about $175,000.00 as of the last statement. Your Spouse: Let’s keep in mind that there’s some infidelity here. You: Well you drove me to it. If you weren’t so cold and distant I wouldn’t have had to find someone who cared and could give me what I needed. Counselor: Okay . . . let’s remember that this isn’t to try to resolve all of your personal issues, this divorces mediation session is for us to see what affect all of these things have had on you and how we can work out an agreement for your divorce. The idea is, what can we mutually agree upon so that we can help you move forward with each of your own separate lives after this is all over. Your Spouse: But that’s what this divorce is all about? Counselor: I can completely understand that you feel that way, and if I didn’t know better I’d probably agree with you, yet in the end this is all about a relationship that has broken down and can’t be fixed. When that happens people go through a legal divorce proceeding. What we’re here about today and what you both hired me to do is to try to see if we can reach some common ground to go your separate ways fairly. Your Spouse: Well, I want it all. You: All of it? Your Spouse: I think it’s only fair since you cheated on me. You: Are you crazy? Your Spouse: You should have thought of that before finding another bed to sleep in. Counselor: [Interrupting the squabbling] Are we done? You and Your Spouse: Done? What are you talking about? Counselor: We’re done, right? You two just want to hurt each other so we’re done, right? I’ve earned my fee and you can go into court and just scream at each other. You and Your Spouse: No… [you] . No. [your spouse]. Counselor: Then let’s look at things here. Is this a fault divorce? Your Spouse: No it’s not. My attorney says I should file based on irreconcilable differences. But I deserve something. Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Well perhaps that’s true yet isn’t ALL of it a bit much? Your Spouse: Not to me. Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Okay… you say that you were cheated on, right? Your Spouse: Yes I do. You: It’s not true though!! [very defensively]. Counselor: Okay, I’m not going to agree if it’s true or not, but assuming it is true just for the sake of argument, how much did this affair… affect the value of the $175,000 retirement plan? Your Spouse: How much did it affect the retirement plan? Counselor: Yes. Your Spouse: It didn’t. Counselor[To Your Spouse]: It didn’t affect the retirement account at all? Your Spouse: No. Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Then why are you asking for all of it? Your Spouse: Because I deserve it!! Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Why? Your Spouse: Because of the affair? Counselor: So what you are saying is that if you were originally entitled to 1/2 of the retirement account that you are entitled to the other $87,500 because you were cheated on. Your Spouse: [Hesitating] Well. . . . yes that’s what I’m saying. You: I did not cheat on you or have any affair! Counselor: [Interrupting again] . . . You’re hurt. I understand that. And maybe that is worth something financially . . . yet it just doesn’t seem quite reasonable to ask for the whole retirement account when you even say yourself that the affair didn’t hurt the retirement account or your part of it. A judge might give you half or a little more but I don’t think a judge would give you all of it. [Silence as Counselor thinks...] Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Assuming just for the sake of argument that there was an affair and no damage was done to the retirement account as you’ve already said, what do you think is reasonable to ask a judge for. Your Spouse: I don’t know. I’m not a judge. Counselor: Well what does any affair have to do with all the hard work and deposits that are made into a retirement account if you were to get 1/2 of it right off the bat? Your Spouse: Well it doesn’t have anything to do with it when you put it that way. Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Okay, well we’ve agreed that you will need some financial help for a bit of time to get on your feet. Keeping that in mind, how much of the retirement plan would you agree to take in order to resolve this issue and get on with your life? Your Spouse: 75 percent. You: You are kidding me. For an affair I didn’t even have?!? Counselor [To You]: So that isn’t acceptable to you, right? You: No! That’s robbing me. Counselor [To Your Spouse]: Okay, is there a lesser amount that you might consider. Your Spouse: Sure. Give me the whole thing and I won’t take anything from you to get by until I get on my feet. Counselor [To You]: What do you think of that? You: [Thinking] Your Spouse: Otherwise I’m going to go to court and ask for financial help for the next five (5) years plus 75% of your retirement. You: [Frustrated] ….. Fine. Counselor [To You]: Fine to what? You: [Still Frustrated]: If I don’t have to give her any extra financial help then she can have the entire retirement account. Counselor [To You]: Are you sure? We’re going to set this down in stone so this needs to be firm that you absolutely agree to this. You: Yes… yes… yes… I agree. Let’s move on. In this Rhode Island Divorce mediation setting you can see the interpersonal skills of the Marriage and Family Counselor at work. The mediator tries to work with each party, keeps him or her focused on the issues at hand using excellent personal relationship skills and discusses the various positions without taking the side of either party. Logic and common sense are a part of the dialogue yet he or she does not use legal arguments. The parties are drawn together toward a resolution that each agrees upon that the parties agree will be committed to paper and signed as a resolution of their divorce issues. The pros of a third-party divorce mediator with counseling and/or psychological skills but who is not law trained are seen mostly in the method used by the mediator/counselor to bring the parties together by agreeing in part with each of their positions, providing understanding and also redirecting the party to another way of thinking about a situation without taking on the role of being an advocate for the other party. The con of using a third-party divorce mediator who is not law trained is the lack of practical family court experience and knowledge of the process. In this particular case, an attorney acting as a mediator for a divorcing couple would be inclined to call to Your attention that alimony in Rhode Island is rehabilitative in nature, may be very limited in time or scope and is also dependent upon Your income and other assets that may be available from the marital estate. This is something a third-party divorce mediator will not usually undertake since the objective of a mediator in this instance is simply to reach an agreeable result and not necessarily achieve a fair result based upon how a Rhode Island family court judge is likely to rule. The pros of using a law trained mediator are obviously the cons of the third-party counseling divorce mediator. Law trained mediators (such as lawyers focusing their practice in divorce and family law) bring with them the realistic and practical real world results that come from seeing actual cases before the court. This would seemingly lead to a more equitable result or perhaps a result that is more in accord with a result that you might receive from a Rhode Island Family Court Judge presiding over your divorce. Agreements by law trained mediators are more likely to encompass a whole agreement which is dependent upon each of it’s components (i.e. it is a package deal) in order to work as opposed to a bunch of individual elements that are segregated and agreed to one at a time. The con of using a Rhode Island law trained mediator (i.e. Rhode Island Family Law Mediator) is the lack of any formalized counseling and/or psychological training which helps to facilitate the atmosphere where the parties are drawn together to reach agreement. If at all possible a Rhode Island law trained mediator who is regularly practices before the Rhode Island Divorce and family court system and also has background in counseling and/or psychology is perhaps the best bet both for reaching an agreement generally and in particular for reaching an agreement that is an accordance what a Rhode Island Family Court judge is likely to order.

“Should” You Date Others During Your Long Distance Relationship?

Monday, January 28th, 2008

By Maria Madeira My Dear Lover, Today I want to share with you the facts, and also my advice about something you probably ask yourself a lot of times: “Should” I Date Others During My Long Distance Relationship? Well, first I will give you some facts (scientific facts!) and then I will give my personal advice to you. Dr. Gregory Guldner his the leading authority on long distancerelationships and the author of the most comprehensive study oflong distance relationships ever completed, “Long Distance Relationships: The Complete Guide”.He is is a graduate of Stanford Medical School and Purdue University’s Clinical Psychology Program and he combines hisscientific expertise,interviews with hundreds of couples in long distance relationships and his own personal experience into this comprehensive book. Ok, now that you know who Dr. Gregory Guldner is, I will give you the scientific facts about Dating Others During an LDR. Dr. Gregory Guldner made 2 studies, and here are his results: 6-month longitudinal study: - 30% of couples who dated others broke up- 27% of couples who did not broke up - 70% of couples who did not discuss this issue broke up. Cross sectional study: - 15% of those who dated others survived LDR- 48% of those who didn’t survived LDR Humm, to much scientific! you will say.Ok, let me explain to you the meaning of those numbers: In the first study: the 6-month longitudinal study we can see that: The Long Distance Relationship couples that dated others, in aperiod of 6 months, 30% of them broke up. In the Long Distance Relationship couples that did not datedothers, in a period of 6 months, 27% of them broke up. And notice this, 70% of couples who did not discuss this issuebroke up! In the second study: “Cross sectional study”, the relationshipsthat at one point were long distance (like the one you and me areliving now), but that now are reunited (the thing you and me wantmore) as planned, we can see that: Only 15% of those who dated others survived LDR and 48% of thosewho didn’t survived LDR. The conclusion we can take is that for “kind of” short periods oftime, like six months, it doesn’t make to much difference for thesuccess of the Long Distance Relationship, to date others. What makes the difference here is not being clear and honest with the Long Distance Partner, 70% of couples who did not discuss this issue broke up! Now, for long periods of time, dating others is very very dangerfor the success of your Long Distance Relationship! Only 15% survived LDR! But, what makes you “want” to date others while you are in your Long Distance Relationship? Is the lake of sex? Is because you like to feel close with another person? Weel Long Distance Relationships can be sexually satisfyingas Close Relationships! What you need to do is to know how to “make love” at telephone or to write erotic letters, or send erotic pictures or videos toyour beloved. Now about my own experience? Do you think that because I am in a Long Distance Relationship I don’t feel sexually attracted by others? Of course I do!But do I consider the idea of me dating others while I am in my Long Distance Relationships? No, no, no. Let me tell you something. At my job there is a man,that I don’t know to explain this, but between me and him there is such a strong sexual chemistry. And believe me, between me and my Long Distance Partner, there isalso a strong sexual chemistry, but I think if I made sex with that man from my job, I guess I would be something even stronger than I have with my Long Distance Partner. But do you think that will ever make sex with that man from my job? Never! First I really love with all my heart my Long Distance Partner, he is without any doubt the “true love” of my life. And a relationship is much more than sex, and you also now that very well! Second I don’t feel that I have sexual insatisfaction in my LongDistance Relationship. I do use what I “learn” from several resources that you can find in internet, and that you can find in my website. Now, with this, I am not saying that I agree or disagree with theones that make the choice of Dating Others while they are in a Long Distance Relationship. It’s your choice, and now, you have also the numbers of the scientific study of Dr. Gregory Guldner and also my advice and my experience. Are you struggling with the loneliness of your long distance relationship?Don’t let it tear you apart! My name is Maria Madeira, and just like you, I am in a Long Distance Relationship since 2003. Since then, I have been in all stages of Long Distance Relationship. I know, exactly! what you are feeling!Let me help YOU!

Trying To Lose Weight Or Quit Smoking? There Is A Secret Formula That Guarantees Success!

Sunday, January 27th, 2008

By Alan B. Densky One of the presuppositions of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) is that "there is a positive intention behind all behaviors." And based on that presupposition, when it comes to successfully eliminating negative behaviors, there is formula that we must always keep in mind. I’ll let you in on the secret in a minute. But first, I have a riddle for you to solve. Riddle: A minister made his son drink lye, which burned out his vocal chords. What was the positive intention behind his behavior? If you are like 99.9% of the clients who have come into my office since 1978, you’ll indignantly say something like: "There’s no positive intention behind that behavior." But you would be 100% wrong. To answer this riddle, first you have to separate the behavior from the positive intention of the behavior. The minister’s son was cursing. And the minister believes that if a person curses, his soul will be condemned to Hell. So the answer is that the minister was burning out his son’s voice box so that he couldn’t curse. So he was saving his son’s soul from being condemned to Hell. The secret formula for success works as follows: We must always respect the positive intent behind every behavior. If we have a compulsion to use a behavior that we don’t like, we can easily get rid of the compulsion to use that behavior providing we find another behavior to substitute in it’s place that is as effective and available at accomplishing the same outcome, but is more consciously acceptable to you. This is called a REFRAME. When clients come into my office, one of the first things that I do is to take a through case history. Let’s say that they come in and ask me to help them overcome their appetite. Conventional wisdom tells us that the two main reasons that people eat excessively are: (1) for relaxation and pleasure; (2) because eating can be a conditioned response. For instance, if a person eats while they are watching TV, they will develop a conditioned response, and thereafter, every time they sit down to watch TV, they’ll get cravings and an urge to eat. However, the above answer only takes into consideration the possible positive intention behind the eating behavior. What if they also have another behavior that is involved in the equation? For example: What if being fat is also a behavior for this person? I can hear your mind grinding right now as you think, "Being fat isn’t a behavior, what are you talking about?" Sorry but you could be 100% wrong. Here is one simple classic text book example that will illustrate the fact that being fat can be a behavior. It can be a behavior because it can accomplish positive outcomes. Example: A woman is deeply in love. Her boyfriend breaks up with her, and breaks her heart. Her unconscious mind wants to protect her emotionally and prevent her from having her heart broken again. So it motivates her to get fat to keep her out of relationships. That way she won’t get her heart broken again. The point is that everyone is totally different. And sometimes there are hidden elements at work causing compulsive behaviors. These are elements that are different for each person. Here is another example: A woman comes into my office complaining of an uncontrollable urge to overeat at dinner time. During my case history, upon questioning, the woman explains how she was never been able to satisfy her father. We did an age regression, and one of her earliest memories was of eating dinner with the family. And dad was insisting in a very loud voice that she clean her plate, even though she was full. So she cleaned her plate out of fear, and dad commended her for eating everything. It was one of the only times in her life that she could recall her dad telling her that he was happy with her. Shoot forward to present day. Dad’s been dead for years, but the unconscious program he installed is still working. She still has a compulsion to clean her plate, even if she is feeling stuffed, because by cleaning the plate she is getting dad’s approval, and eliminating her fear! So if you are having a problem making personal changes, keep in mind that there is a positive intention behind all behaviors. And keep in mind “The secret formula for success.” © 2006 By Alan B.

Time To Look Into Consolidation Loan For Private School Loans?

Saturday, January 26th, 2008

By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Mike_Herman]Mike Herman The option of a consolidation loan for private school loans proves to be quite attractive to many individuals who find themselves deep in debt over their higher education bills. Although this is not always the best option, loan consolidation eliminates the need to pay several different loans to several different companies. For this reason, many individuals find it simply easier to consolidate their loans to streamline their payments and ensure that they are on time each and every month. If you are interested in a consolidation loan for private school loans, be sure to carefully look into the options before you make a decision to sign onto another loan company. The purpose of a consolidation loan for private school loans is to lump all of your loans and fees into one simple umbrella loan. Although this option is not for everyone who possesses a student loan, it is a popular option for those students with several private loans that are required to pay their university tuition. Especially if you have several different loans with several different rates, you may find that a consolidation loan can offer you the best rate for the entire lump sum of the loan. However, there may be additional fees association with transferring the balance of some of your loans to a consolidation loan. If this is the case, then you should be sure to include the extra fees or fines into your decision to whether or not transfer your student loans into a consolidation loan. Many individuals find that in addition to choosing a consolidation loan when it comes to their private school loan, it is also attractive to consolidate their other bills. Any debt from a mortgage to a credit card balance to a car loan can be transferred to a consolidation loan so that you only have one bill to pay versus several. The best way to determine whether or not this option will work for you is to seek out the services of a debt counselor.

Key Elements of Catch and Release

Friday, January 25th, 2008

By Andy Klynstra Fishing is becoming so popular that the demand often exceeds the capabilities of Alberta streams and lakes to produce adequate numbers of fish. Mortality must be kept low to in order to maintain and recover fish populations, the release of fish is an important tool to allow anglers to enjoy their sport, yet minimize the impact on fish populations. As an avid fly fisherman, and the father of two very enthusiastic teenage fisherman, I believe all fisherman should follow catch and release practices, to help relieve the angling pressures, and to ensure the success in this ever growing popular sport. All across Alberta, fish stocks have been managed by size limits and possession limits in order to help prevent the exhaustion of our fisheries. Without limits, our rivers and lakes would be not nearly as productive as they are today, and with the help of Alberta Fish and Wildlife Association, and the individual fishermen, together we can insure a bountiful stock for future generations to come. There are a few simple rules to follow if you would like to be a successful Catch and Release fisherman, the number one rule is the use of barbless hooks. A single point barbless hook, although they make it easier for the fish to get away, they cause less damage and are easier to remove especially if the fish is hooked in a sensitive area as the eye, gills or deep in its throat. To increase your chance of landing a fish using barbless hooks, they should be kept razor sharp at all times. Play your fish quickly so that after you have landed it, the fish will have enough reserve energy to recover. The use of a good Catch and Release net will help to increase the chances the fish has to survive, and try to keep the fish in the water while you remove the hook. This will both minimize contact with the fish, and provide it with valuable oxygen that may have been depleted. If you must handle the fish, wet your hands first and try not to squeeze it, a good way to hold the fish is upside down as this will temporarily immobilize it. Never use your fingers to remove hooks always use forceps or pliers to gently remove hooks. After the battle of getting your fish into your net and the stress of removing the hook, a fish may need some help to recover before it is released. When releasing a fish, try to release it in slow water with the head facing towards the current so that it can regain its strength and equilibrium, this will also help in forcing water through the gills helping to supply fresh oxygen. Never release an exhausted fish until the gills are working normally and the fish gains enough strength to swim away. As an angler I always limit my catch, and if every angler would play a part in some level of Catch and Release, it would help to ensure a productive fishery for future generations to enjoy.

Arnica

Monday, January 21st, 2008

By Jacob Wood Arnica (Arnica Montana) has been used extensively in European folk medicine. Arnica flower and root have been used as a pain reliever, expectorant, and stimulant. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749 - 1832), the German philosopher and poet, drank Arnica tea to ease his angina in old age. Internal use is extremely risky and is not recommended. In countries where arnica is indigenous, it has long been a popular remedy for a variety of problems. Arnica is remedy for Bruises Sprains Muscle pain or joint inflammation Chilblains, when skin in unbroken Arnica improves the local blood supply and speeds the healing process. Arnica soothes and heals skin wounds and irritations. Repeated applications may produce sever inflammation. Most often an ointment or compress is used for external application. Generally, the plant is taken internally only at a homeopathic dilution, principally for shock, injury, and pain. If taken as a decoction or tincture, it stimulates the circulation and can be a valuable treatment for angina and a weak or failing heart. It can be toxic even at low dosage, so it’s rarely used in this way. Arnica Includes: Arnica contains a bitter yellow crystalline principle called Arnicin, and a volatile oil. Tannin and phulin are also present, along with sesquiterpene lactones and flavonoids. The flowers are said to contain more Arnicin than the rhizome, but no tannin. The volatile oil contains thymol, mucilage, and polysaccharides.
