How to choose a Spotting Scope

2009-11-05T03:28:00.000-08:00

Choosing A Spotting Scope
There are several considerations when evaluating a spotting scope.
The first is the size of the front element.
Often ranging between 60mm and 80mm, the front element’s size impacts the scope’s light-gathering capability. The larger the front element, the more light it brings into the scope, resulting in a brighter image, especially under low-light conditions.

The eyepiece determines the level of magnification.
Most spotting scopes feature a user-replaceable eyepiece.
You can choose fixed-powered eyepieces from 20x to 60x or a zoom eyepiece such as a 20-60x. Although the zoom eyepiece gives the obvious advantage of adjusting the magnification at the turn of a ring, a fixed eyepiece features a wider angle of view.
A wide field of view is beneficial when searching for a subject through the eyepiece.
Too narrow a depth of field can make finding a subject incredibly difficult and frustrating.
At these image magnifications, image shake is a key problem; use a sturdy tripod, a high ISO setting and a balance rail to help control blurry pictures.
Typically, an in-camera image-stabilization system doesn’t work for digiscoping.

Digiscoping has been gaining popularity for years as a viable method for getting extreme telephoto compositions of small wildlife.
Birders, in particular, have taken the process to a science and have been able to capture amazing images.
If your budget doesn’t allow for the extreme telephotos some wildlife photography requires, consider a spotting scope as an alternative.

How to choose a wireless card?

2009-11-05T03:03:00.000-08:00

Most laptops and even some desktops come with built-in wireless networking capability, but even if yours doesn't, it's easy to add.
On a laptop, just slide a Wi-Fi card into the PC card slot. Or you can use a USB Wi-Fi adaptor (about $30) into a free USB port, a very simple solution for owners who don't want to fiddle with their desktop's innards or who have computers, such as Macs, that can't be opened.
Don't be intimidated by the thought of mucking around in your PC. This is one of the simplest upgrades around. All you need to do is remove a metal dust cover and snap the new card into position.

WHAT'S AVAILABLE
Wireless PC cards cost about $50 and you can get them anywhere computer equipment is sold. Major brands include 3Com, Belkin, Buffalo, D-Link, Linksys and Netgear.
Most cards support the current 802.11g Wi-Fi standard, which is backward compatible with the older and slower 802.11b standard.
Some call themselves 802.11n Draft cards.
This is the forthcoming standard, not scheduled for ratification until 2009, but if the card's Wi-Fi certification logo includes the "N", the card you buy today will be compatible with future 802.11n equipment.
The 802.11n standard promises speeds several times that of 802.11g and a longer range. Any Wi-Fi card should work fine with public "hotspots."

HOW TO CHOOSE
Setting up a wireless network can be easier if all your equipment is from the same manufacturer. So if you already have the wireless router, look for a card from the same company.
If you choose to stay ahead of the curve by buying an 802.11n card, keep in mind that your network is only as strong as its weakest link, so if your router is 802.11g, don't expect 802.11n performance. The same holds true for an 802.11g card.
On a mixed network, the performance will drop down to the lowest common denominator, so if you want the best possible performance, make sure all your equipment supports the latest standard.
If you're in the market for a new laptop, Apple's Macs and those Windows PCs powered by Intel's Centrino might support the 802.11n standard.
If you want 802.11n in an Intel-based PC, be sure to look for what Intel calls "Next-Gen Wireless-n," which promises compatibility with the approved standard.
Windows and Macintosh computers work equally well with Wi-Fi.

How do You Transfer Music to an Ipod

2009-10-29T22:41:00.000-07:00

If you have apple ipod (ipod classic), itunes and computer, then you want to get your music onto your ipod without any downloads, it will ask you to reformat it when you sync.
This will definitely wipe all your iPod songs out.
So i recommend you use this iPod to PC transfer program and backup all iPod songs and videos from iPod to your new hp first.

Many people are using it for its easy and safe transfer.
The whole process goes as follows:
Firstly install this program on your new hp computer.
Ipod Software - Tansee iPod Transfer
When you plug your mac-formatted iPod to the computer, this program will instantly display all songs and videos on the iPod. You simply select what you wish to transfer and click "Copy" button. Done. All your selected files will be copied to your computer safely.
Now you can easily add those songs and videos to your iTunes library. See detailed guide.
More importantly, this won’t overwrite any original files on your iPod. And all song names are preserved.

The other way for how do you transfer music to an ipod is using free open source program from sourceforge.net, Ares 2.1.1
It is 100% safe and never got virus at all. Not like Limewire, that may get some virus.
That program enable user to share any digital file including images, audio, video, software, documents, etc.
Once you finish download it, search for any song, video or any digital data.
After completed, right click on it and open with iTunes. Done !
Good luck.

How to Choosing The Right Fly Line

2009-10-29T21:57:00.000-07:00

It would be a lot easier for Flyfishing in lakes if trout only fed on food items floating high on the surface film as this would require only a floating fly line to present our imitations.
Bad news, mostly trout feeding occurs subsurface and at times in water greater than 8 metres deep. Its means having a selection of sinking fly lines as well as the floating line to effectively have a closer look at the basic fly lines that should be in every stillwater anglers tackle bag.

Floating Lines

Its quite versatile for Floating lines in that you can use them for presenting dry flies as well as fishing nymphs or insect larvae from just sub surface to deep in the water column.
The factors of limiting on how deep you can fish with the floating line is leader length and the angler's patience to wait for the fly pattern to sink to the desired fishing depth.
In the reality, floating lines are effective when fishing water to about 5 to 6 metres deep with leaders as long as 7 metres in length. Most anglers will find leaders longer than that extremely difficult to cast.
Look at the floating lines as a 30 metre long bobber and by varying the length of leader used you can effectively cover the shallow shoal or littoral area of a lake which is where the majority of trout feeding occurs.
Floating lines are a good choice when fishing chironomid larvae and pupae, mayfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, caddis pupae and of course the adult forms of these insects.
Using weighted fly patterns further expands the effectiveness of the floating line.
I always carry 2 reels set up with floating lines. One line has a longer leader of 5 to 6 metres in length and the other with a shorter 3 to 4 metres long leader.
Regardless of leader length used to make sure it is tapered so that the fly will turn over on completion of the cast.

Intermediate/Type 1 slow sinking

The sinks of this fly line at a rate of between 1 and 2 inches/second.
This slowest sink rate gives you the ability to retrieve a fly in a very precise or narrow depth range which can be critical when fishing chironomid pupa, emerging mayfly nymphs, migrating damselfly nymphs and emerging caddis pupae.
As with any sinking fly line the longer you wait the deeper the line will sink, but again, this line has the slowest sink rate and thus is an excellent line for water less than 6 metres deep.
Using these lines reduces the amount of time you have to wait for flies to sink which for beginning flyfishers is important as the skill of learning to be patient has not been fully developed. Leaders from 3 to 4 metres long work well with this slow sinking line.

Another excellent sinking line is the "Stillwater" line manufactured by Scientific Anglers. This is a clear monofilament line that has a sink rate slightly faster than slow sinking lines. The Stillwater line is virtually invisible to fish and is a good choice when fishing very clear waters. An added bonus of this line is its ease of casting. Once wet, the monofilament line stays lubricated and has noticeably less friction when passing through the rod guides. I prefer to use this line when fishing the deeper parts of the shoal of the lake.

Fast Sinking/Type III Sinking

These lines sink at rates between 3 and 5 inches/second depending on the line weight.
They are ideal lines to fish parallel to, and over the edge of drop-offs. Drop-offs are best described as that zone of the lake where the shallow shoal water rapidly deepens and you can no longer see the bottom of the lake.
Drop-offs are ideal habitat for trout for several reasons.
First, the deeper water at the base of the drop-off is cooler than at the surface, which is critical during warmer summer months.
Secondly, most drop-off areas are still under the influence of photosynthesis so plant growth is still abundant which means good insect/invertebrate habitat and thus fish food. Thirdly, the deeper the water along the drop-off provides better protection to fish from the predators.

Typical drop-off water is 6 to 8 metres deep thus making the use of faster sinking lines practical. Common trout food sources that inhabit the vegetation covering the drop-off include shrimp , dragonfly nymphs and leeches .
To ensure your fly is being retrieved as close to the lake bottom as possible do a simple calculation of how long it will take the fly line to sink to the lake bottom in the depth you are anchored in.
Every sinking fly line will have the sinking rate identified on the packaging. For instance, if you were anchored in 6 metres (20 feet) of water and using the extra- fast sinking line that sank at a rate of 4 inches/second, if would take 60 seconds for that line to reach the bottom. If you continually snag bottom vegetation reduce the amount of time you wait before beginning the retrieve.

These 4 basic fly lines will allow you to effectively cover all the insect hatches and other invertebrates that are important trout food in lakes.
A good understanding of the life cycles and habitat preference of these food sources will allow you to choose the right fly line for the hatch you are encountering that day.

How to get a dog to mount you

2009-09-01T04:29:00.000-07:00

Whether you are starting out a puppy or wanting some manners in an adult, understanding how dogs view the world & relate to others can make the process go much more smoothly.
The biggest thing a dog needs is a leader. Being pack animals, they are "hardwired" with the understanding that life depends on having someone in charge.
So if our behavior does not look like leadership to them, they will assume that role, which invariably results in "problem" behaviors.
The dogs are simply being themselves, doing very doggy things; the problem is that typically these ways of acting like a dog are usually unpleasant for us!

A dog who respects people will naturally behave in a manner that requires very little "training". Conversely, a dog who lacks respect will often engage in behaviors that are typically annoying at best and dangerous at worst.

The good news is that you can become the leader of your dog without the use of harsh methods. In fact, overly aggressive training methods can actually communicate to a dog that you are NOT in control, & produce a downward spiral of more bad behavior, more violence, etc. A dog's view of leadership is one of calm, quiet confidence. That is why yelling at a dog rarely gets the response you desire; that behavior tells the dog you are not in control!

Most training approach relationship based, because that is how your dog sees it.
They believe that there must be mutual respect & understanding present to achieve true cooperation. Clear communication is key to this process, and they strive to be, above all things, fair, both to the dogs and the people we work with.

Once you’ve decided that you’d like choosing a dog and get it, there are different ways to go about finding the right one.
If you’re interested in a particular breed, it’s worth finding out as much as you can about its traits and habits.

Sadly, far too many dogs are bred for a quick profit and raised without care or love – one of the reasons so many are abandoned and destroyed each year.
At Dogs Trust, it's strongly advise you to avoid breeders where the dogs are not kept in clean conditions, where you cannot see the puppies’ parents and to avoid puppy farms.

When you are choosing a breed of dog, you need to know some very important things about the dog and any breed specific traits or features. These include the heights and weights etc., but it is just as important that you look into a breed from a training and obedience viewpoint too. After all you will be living and working with this dog for many years, and depending on your lifestyle and home setup, you may be much better suited to one dog breed over another.

Is a collie for you? Do you know what hard work they can be? Most collies need special homes that are willing and happy to provide lots of exercise, training and fun activities such as agility or flyball.
If you interesting with a collie then you should consider about that.

Greyhouse and lurchers.
They don't need lots of exercise, they don't eat very much and can make perfect family pets.
There are thousands in rescue up and down the UK.
If you are thinking about rehoming a dog, then think greyhound or lurcher.

Researching the many breeds of dogs, choosing a dog breed which you think is best for you, or just getting a dog at all is a crucial decision which could affect the lives of you and your family for well over a decade.

There are always thousands of puppies for sale, and this isn't likely to change, so the decision can and should be taken carefully and with as much information gathered as possible beforehand. Try to ignore your HEART and use your HEAD for the purchase. You have years to use your heart once you have chosen the right dog breed for you!
