Do-It-Yourself Building your own Fly Rod

Image
Every so often somebody handy at creating things wonders hey can I build a rod myself? normal response has been, "Get a bunch of books." Here are a few additional observations, some gained from the rich experience that only comes from making mistakes, which can be far more instructive than doing things right the first time. Doing something right and you only learn one way to do the job; do it wrong and you learn two ways AND why the right way is the right way. First, like the man said, get some books. One of the best is L.A. Garcia's Handcrafting a Graphite Fly Rod from Frank Amato Publications. The photos are excellent. Skip Morris has maybe a more comprehensive book, The Custom Graphite Fly Rod, which as I recall from scanning it at the book store, covers repairs as well as the essentials. Dale Clemens's excellent volumes are encyclopedic-probably more than you want or need to know about all kinds of rods. Then get some tools: a wrapping stand (about $30-50), a slo...

Good Teacher, Bad Teacher: Memories of English Lessons & Autobiography of a Supertramp

Image
Memories of two very different kinds of English teacher: one ridiculing, another with an unusual choice for the class reading book As a result of passing the 11+ examination, I was deemed clever enough to go to a grammar school in the second part of the 1950s. The school was in a nearby Rossendale mill town, and I hated most of my time spent there. Things were not helped by a particular English lesson which I think was probably the first for me and my classmates in Year 1, newcomers all. The woman teacher had handed out a class book and various pupils were asked to read aloud. When my turn came to read from the book I did just that but in my heavy Lancashire accent, dropping my aitches as was natural to me. Showing little sympathy or appreciation of my background, the teacher ridiculed my effort with remarks about being in a grammar school now and the consequent need to speak better than that, in a proper way. How was I to know that the language and speech patterns of my mother and f...

Researching Content For Your eBook In 3 Days

Image
You would like to write an eBook but are uncertain what subject to write about. Here is a brief guide on how you can research content for your eBook in three days in preparation for the actual writing. It is said that inside every person there is a book waiting to be written. I remember years ago sitting in front of a blank sheet of paper and a typewriter (yes, that long ago!), waiting for inspiration to strike. The epic, blockbuster novel never materialized and the typewriter was put away in its case. My problem was I didnt know what to write about. Nowadays, researching content for your eBook has become so much easier with todays technology. Writing an eBook can be done in 2 days but researching your content requires longer - 3 days. However, if you are looking to write a sequel to War and Peace the process may take longer! You should start your first day with two blank pieces of paper. But dont worry; this is part of your research. Youre not writing your eBook yet. Everybody, every...

Homeschooling --- A Superior Education For Your Child

Image
Home-schooling provides children with a superior education. Parents can quickly teach most kids the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic using excellent, creative, learn-to-read, or learn-math books, programs, or computer learning software. Once children become proficient readers, they can then study subjects they love in greater depth. If a child needs help on a special subject, parents can occasionally call in a tutor. Many studies confirm that home-schooled kids learn more, learn better, and learn faster than public-school children. Christopher J. Klicka, author of "The Right Choice: Homeschooling," cites a nationwide study of more than 2,163 home-schooling families conducted in 1990 by the National Home Education Research Institute: The study found the average scores of the home school students were at or above the 80th percentile in all categories. This means that the homeschoolers scored, on the average, higher than 80 percent of the students in the nation. The h...

For most of the twentieth century, widely promoting a successful message was expensive and difficult, requiring control of significant resources and substantial time commitments. Though the general public was more trusting and open to suggestion, more effort was required to reach them. Until the mid-nineties, marketing was generally a money game: whoever could afford the loudest message often sold the most product. The information age - and the Internet in particular - changed all that. Today, your competitors aren't the other businesses providing similar services: they are the millions of voices screaming at the top of their lungs, desperate for attention. They are the vast seas of noise - the four billion websites ...

Best time to Visit Great Wall of China

Image
Great Wall of China is the greatest tourist attraction in the World. And the longest wall in the world, it is an awe-inspiring feat of ancient defensive architecture. Travelers from the eight directions all flock to the Great Wall to walk on the only man-made structure visible from space. To look out from one of the guard towers out at the barren mountains and the Wall snaking off into the distance is a view not to be forgotten. Standing on the Wall, you can get a good feel for what the Wall was all about. The Great Wall offers a timeless charm to tourists, but scenery varies with seasons. Visit it in different time you will get a quite different scene. Most of the popular sections of the great wallare located around Beijing, so the following is written with Beijing's climate in mind, although temperatures are likely to be colder and rainfall more as the Great Wall is on the mountains. Tips: The Great Wall at Simatai has been closed for major renovation from June 2010. The renovat...

This he agreed to do: so the next morning we jumped fright train, determined to hold it for the whole day.

Finding the best antique bargains of all can be so surprising!

Image
The author after many years experience, in buying rather specialised antiques, has found to his surprise that the very best bargains turned out not to be the ones he bought as such.  But maybe there is a useful lesson to learn here for fellow collectors. As a collector of antique Japanese netsuke, inro, lacquer boxes, as well as Chinese snuff bottles and Jade carvings (particularly pendants) like all other collectors I have always been looking out for the chance to buy a bargain! Values One has to be able to evaluate the value to be able to recognise a bargain.  A comparative value as applied to skills of craftsmanship is something I use when considering buying.  There are some limitations to this however.  For example one could not value paintings this way, otherwise a few lines by Picasso would never justify being worth so much more than pictures with more intricate applications of paint.  So artistic merit has to be another important factor. It is necessary ...
