My first thought upon arriving in Lamu, the pearl of the Kenyan coast, was where have I taken my 7-year-old kid? Dusty, dirty and it smelled, horribly. Lamu, a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its cultural significance, is steeped in the Swahili culture that once dominated the East African coast from Somalia to Mozambique. And despite my first impression, it doesn't take long for this backwater town to get under your skin. Narrow streets, storied buildings, and elaborately carved wooden doors set the backdrop. Donkeys, the town's sole means of transports, provide local charm. But what sets Lamu apart from the beach resorts further south are the people: courteous, welcoming and warm. While one should...

A Philosophy of Industrial Design - Enhancing...
If there is anything distinctive or unique about my design philosophy or approach, I don't think it is clearly evident when looking at the finished products I designed. I can sum it up, however, with the following principles: Esthetics I strongly believe that things should not be forced to look a certain way. Appearance should evolve or come about naturally as a result of function. The visual statement should express a harmony with why the product exists - what it does, how it is made, what it is made of - and look pleasing if not beautiful. Ingenuity I believe that design should search all possible ways to maximize the usefulness of the result. This built-in versatility means that it may provide...
Looking For a Good World of Warcraft...

Fly Fishing With Children Part 2 - Bite Sized...
Taking your children fishing for the first time is one of the most important things you may ever do with your kids. You get to show them something you know, they get to show you their first fish.

Don't expect to present any flies of your own. If you start with this in mind the day will be so much more rewarding for both you and your...
Finding Your Pond - Narrowing Your Marketing...
I make a big deal with folks about learning to fish in Ponds vs. Oceans. The basic concept is that there are more fish in ponds than businesses can usually handle but they're wasting their time blindly swimming in a giant ocean where it's hard to find fish, hard to grow and easy to get crushed in the jaws of a shark. It's all about "ponding" down to a target market where you can excel as a small business, grow fast and expand to other ponds. One of the biggest stumbling blocks to almost all small businesses is the ability to narrow their focus to a segment of their overall target market. The reason that small business owners have a hard time "ponding" down is because they are not thinking...
The Best Topics to Write an eBook About
Every once in a while I'll be asked, "What are the best topics to write an eBook about?" And I always have to bite my tongue (before I make three quick answers). And remind myself that it's a legitimate question asked by someone who really doesn't know that I can't give a straight answer to the question. That they are the only one who can answer that question. So what is the second quick answer? (You can guess the first.) Whatever your passion is! Real helpful, huh? Okay let's expand on the answer and make it a wee bit more helpful. The best topic to write an eBook about is the one that most closely meets three criteria. The first criterion is that you are passionate about the topic. The second is...
Finding A Good Fishing Guide - 7 Tips To...
If you're going fishing in a new spot, you'll want to find the best guide available. Sure, you can use a brochure, but a good fishing guide will know where the fish you want to catch bite.

You should give your potential guide enough information so that they can plan the most enjoyable fishing trip for you. It's important that you are honest about how experienced you are.

During the steam out to the fishing grounds, you are going to want everyone on the boat to be alert at all times and trying to find signs of life. This is where the binoculars can come in very handy. If you get out to a fishing spot that has produced fish for you in the past and you find that there is absolutely nothing there, this usually means that the bait fish have moved and as a result, the tuna have moved as well. So you are going to have to use your binoculars and look for signs of wildlife, namely whales and birds. The best way to spot these animals is to always keep your eyes on the horizon. This will provide enough contrast to allow you to spot black specks in the air as well as the spray...

Offshore fishing is the stuff of legend, and brings about daydreams of hours-long battles with huge sailfish ala Hemingway. To realize those dreams, one must first own the right equipment, including an offshore fishing boat. Offshore fishing boats are not your everyday boat. They are much heavier and more rugged than the average lake runabout you see in many of your neighbor's driveways. In fact, you are highly unlikely to see any kind of offshore boat in anyone's driveway as most are not trailerable, though some of the smaller ones are. Safety is a primary consideration when purchasing an offshore saltwater fishing boat, as you can't just take any boat out into the open ocean. These boats must be...

Ontario, Canada is more of the most beautiful locations in the world for fishing enthusiasts. To maximize your fishing expedition, here are a few simple considerations and steps of preparation. 1.

A year or two ago I made the mistake of getting too close to another charter boat. I was, perhaps, 50-75 yards away. For my transgression, the captain of that boat gave me the bird and yelled something not fit for print here. My customers seemed a little shocked by the exchange but laughed it off and joked about avoiding that boat next time out. Therein lies a partial answer to the one question I’ve seen a lot over the years. “How do you select a charter captain from the hundreds out there?” You choose wisely or you could end up with a Captain Ahab type who shouts obscenities at others! I have to believe his customers were also jolted by the outburst. First and foremost, when...

Playing Out of the Rough
If your drive lands in the rough, the first question you should ask yourself is how you can still make par.
