Use mortar or cement mix to set bricks as a pathway edger?

I'm going to install pathways around my house using 1/2" crushed gravel as a walk surface. I want to edge the paths with the same pavers as the driveway. On the driveway I used the retaining strips with spikes to hold the perimiter. How should I tackle this one. I could use the retaining strips on the outside and the crushed gravel should keep them straight on the inside once it's compacted. Or I could dig a trough and set the pavers in mortar or cement. Any ideas on what would be the best?

If the path gets compacted enough, you could set the pavers on end set in concrete. When you place your pavers on end in, half (or more) should be in the ground with additional cement sloped away from the pavers on the non-path side.

With the rising costs of fishing charters and fuel prices, I like to make every fishing trip as productive as possible. Anglers can better their chances of having a successful outing if they bring the appropriate gear and equipment to tackle the many scenarios that a saltwater angler may encounter while offshore or at the local islands. Depending on the destination and targeted fish species, I carry one of two tackle boxes that I have assembled with specific terminal tackle and accessories, designed to serve two totally different purposes.

When fishing on trips of three days or less, I normally carry my local tackle box, which is a soft backpack style bag, complete with tackle trays and several pouches or compartments for my tools, spools of line, suntan lotion and whatever else I might need to access while on the deck. Soft tackle boxes are becoming popular, as they are very affordable, lightweight, easily accessible and they take up very little space, which is valuable on small private boats. Most manufacturers provide a wide selection of shoulder strap and backpack type soft tackle boxes.

When fishing for longer durations, I bring out the heavy box. This is a custom wooden box that takes two people to carry and when sitting on the deck, serves as my personal tackle station, complete with bait and lure rigging supplies, rod holders and a wide range of other goodies. Pull-out and sliding trays, deep compartments and a hanging jig locker highlight this tackle box. I also incorporate soft tackle-packs within this box that are filled with trolling feathers, jigs and skirts. Having witnessed, as well as been a part in, some unbelievable and amazing scenes and bites while fishing offshore waters, I try my best to stock this box before every multi-day fishing adventure.

Local Tackle Box:

• Hooks - Both circle and j-hooks in sizes ranging up to 6/O, with plenty of extras in the sizes that match the bait I anticipate fishing with. Colors will include silver, bronze and red. Favorites include Owner®, Gamakatsu® and Mustad®
• Lines - Single shot spools of mono fishing lines, as well as braided spectra lines. Mono and fluorocarbon wind-on leaders
• Sinkers - Torpedoes, sliding eggs, split-shot, lead-heads and other lead weights are used for both dropper-loop and artificial swim-bait fishing
• Lures - Jigs and Irons made of ceramic or metal, in several variations and colors for surface and bottom yo-yo jigging. Plastic and rubber artificial baits, including swim-baits and scented grubs, crabs and shrimps
• Accessories - Pliers, knives, hook sharpeners, sunscreen and motion sickness pills, along with other medical remedies

Long Range Tackle Box:

• Hooks - Both circle and j-hooks, from size #1-11/O, with a good assortment of ringed, laser sharpened bait hooks. I prefer the bronze color over the silver, and am beginning to experiment with the red hooks, with favorable results.
• Lines - Bulk spools of commonly used monofilament fishing line classes, typically 30lb.-80lb. test line. I also carry several shots of heavier lb. test fluorocarbon, for my top shot and leader, as well as some braided wire. Most of my long range fishing reels are spooled with spectra backing, so I find it unnecessary to bring too much fishing line.
• Sinkers - I normally separate my weights from my tackle box and carry them separately. The reason being, I take a whole range of lead weights with me on longer trips and they can weigh my box down substantially.
• Lures - Jigs, lures, feathers and artificial baits take up most of the space in my long range tackle box. These include surface lures, yo-yo jigs and knife jigs for deep water jigging, plastic and rubber swim-baits, bombs and trolling lures.
• Accessories - Pliers, crimps, knives, hook sharpeners, scales, bait catchers, ties and trolling straps are some essentials that you will most likely need.

Old salts, including captains and experienced anglers, will tell you that being prepared on the open water is essential to having a safe and enjoyable trip. Anglers should take the necessary preparations when planning their local and long range fishing trips and this begins with the right selection of terminal tackle, gear and accessories, as well the as the proper maintenance of your fishing rod and reels.

I have been fishing for over 20 years of my life and hope to continue to do so for the next 30. I have dedicated myself to sharing what I have learned through those years in the hopes of promoting this popular outdoor recreational activity by providing commentaries and reviews, video tutorials, fishing tips and more. Come visit my site at http://spinningreels.com for freshwater and saltwater fishing information.

I plan on going fishing at he Hudson River this Sunday. Any tips on what I should bring ( bait, tackle...).?

1. What kind of lures should I buy.

Buy a eight-foot Shakespeare Ugly Stik, a Shamino Sphero reel, use a kitchen knife, chicken legs for the crab four closing door trap, also bring worms. You might catch tommycod or catfish in the Hudson if you fish in Westchester.

In this Business economy, there's only 2 ways to help the 'Bottom line'... (1) Cut costs and (2) Boost productivity. And... there are only (2) ways to have your employees travel corporately... by air or by car.

I don't have to tell you that the reason most companies don't use Jet Charter service is the COST. Trying to 'Justify' that 'Luxury Price Tag' to the people at the top is like trying to sell electric cars in Saudi Arabia.

By perception, it's just not a fit.

But here's the business 'Reality'. If you ask any CFO what a 200K executive should contribute to the company, it's going be more that 200K. That's called a 'Productivity factor'... and everyone from the bottom of the org chart to the top has one. And the more you make, the higher your factor is.

Companies are literally losing thousands of dollars per year by not analyzing the 'Comprehensive costs' associated with BOTH corporate Travel expense, Executive Productivity and Destination Logistics.

Regional Business Travel by Car

84% of U.S. business trips are regional and 80% of those are by car 200 - 400 miles driven one-way. Are any of your mid-level or high-level executives jumping in a car to get from 'Point A to Point B?' Then I don't have to tell you that spending 7-14 hours 'On the Road' just for 1 business meeting is not a good use of an executive's time... especially if they are salaried in the 6-figures.

Here's a real example. Chartering a King Air Jet prop airplane for 3 executives traveling by car to 2 business destinations @ 200 miles per travel leg would save over 12 hours of cumulative Executive time.

That's a Time machine Savings with Employee Productivity Value of over $12,000... $12,736 to be exact.

And that's not counting getting back the same day if they wanted to.

The Corporate Travel ROI Simulator can analyze all corporate travel by car utilizing your own internal 'Business rules'... allowing you to quickly determine the most appropriate vehicle of travel for that particular business mission because of who is traveling and why.

Traditional Airline Travel

We all understand the inconvenience with traditional airline travel. And we all remember when the CEO's of the Big 3 auto makers individually flew into Washington in their big corporate Jets to 'ask for more money'. Without doubt they 'Didn't have a clue' from a Public relations standpoint. But 'Politics aside', here's the interesting part from an overall business equation.

Let's take that same Detroit to Washington trip and compare traditional Airline travel to charter Jet travel in a mid-size Jet. The Corporate Travel ROI Simulator compared 1st class airline travel for the GM CEO making 2.2 million in salary and having to make 1 intermediate stop on an 519 mile airline trip.

And the 'Productivity Factor' business rule is set to a multiple of (5.7), which is a conservative factor based on a mid-level executive.

In this travel scenario, the Corporate Travel ROI Simulator shows that there is a Time machine Savings with Employee Productivity Value of over $63,000... $63,426 to be exact.

Just like a baseball club with a superstar making $150,000 per game... they don't want that guy 'Sitting on the bench'. They want him out on the Field or in the 'Batting box'.

Because when you recover 9 hours of a CEO's productivity time... it's something you can actually 'put your Finger on' and ultimately justify it. And that goes for other executives that are higher up on the org chart, minimally in the 6-figure salary range.

And what about the PR move to appease the public outcry by succumbing to a 9-hour hybrid car ride on his next trip to Washington?

In this travel scenario, the Corporate Travel ROI Simulator shows there is a Time machine Savings with Employee Productivity Value of over $133,000... $133,235 to be exact.

Because you recover 12 hours of an executive's productivity time... and Time truly is Money.

A 'Business Tool' for your Corporate Travel Decision Making Process

The NO COST Corporate Travel ROI Simulator allows corporate travel decision makers to sit down and use a Quantitative approach to corporate business travel total expenses using a blend of cost factors, travel logistics and employee Productivity factors.

Simply, it signals you when custom Jet Charter makes more 'Bottom line' business sense than tradition airline or auto travel... and most importantly... trips can be individually documented and legitimately 'Justified at the TOP'.

Jeff Hardesty is President of JDH Group, Inc. and developer of the Corporate Travel ROI Simulator. He provides companies with a NO COST Corporate Travel Simulator, a 'Business tool' that compares Travel Cost, Executive Productivity and Destination Logistics and points to 'alternative travel vehicles' when destination Logistics and executive Time compensate well over a 'Line item' travel cost.

To receive a complimentary DEMO of the Corporate Travel ROI Simulator with your own corporate travel scenarios contact Jeff @ 740-881-1691 or email jeff@convertmoresales.com with 'Jet Charter DEMO' in the subject line.

The time has come for the Sanctioning bodies of adult softball and youth fastpitch softball to require all softball pitchers and 3rd basemen to wear a protective softball face mask. While the actual risk of being hit in the face with a line drive is slight, the severity of the injury can be blindness or even death. According to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission in 1991 reported that more than 100,000 cases of facial trauma occurred in children younger than 14 years while they participated in sports activities with a surprisingly high incidence of female pitchers that are hit with a batted ball.

A couple of real life examples that I have witnessed first hand. A few years back when my daughters softball team was just a 10 year old team, we had the opportunity to play a High School Junior Varsity team. During that game, one of our 10 year old girls hit a line shot back at the pitcher. The pitcher was just able to move her head enough that the ball glanced off the side of her head just above her ear. She immediately fell to the ground and everyone rushed the field to see about her. Fortunately the ball had glanced off of her rather than a straight on blunt impact. She only suffered from a rather severe abrasion on her head, a swollen ear, and a pretty good size knot on her head. Understand that I'm talking about a fairly athletic 14 year old girl only had the chance to react and turn her head about 45 degrees to avoid a ball hit by a 10 year old girl.

Just this season I was watching a fastpitch softball game of 12 year old girls. I was sitting by the father of the 3rd baseman and we were discussing how scary it is that coach's have the 3rd baseman play so close to home plate. Many 3rd baseman now play about 20 feet inside 3rd base and even closer when the coach thinks the other team is going to bunt. Later that same inning, a batter ripped a line drive about 18 inches directly over his daughter's head. She didn't even have time to flinch. Honestly, it was so sudden she didn't have time to duck or move her hands for protection. The dad, relieved that his daughter was okay, said, "That's it. I'm online tonight and will buy a protective face mask. She won't play 3rd base again without one."

One might think a protective face mask is only applicable to girls softball, but that would be naive. Just two years ago, I met a man that played recreational slow pitch softball. He proceeded to tell me that he still plays softball but he can no longer pitch. He had been struck in his right eye socket with a batted ball and could not risk being struck again. Are you ready for this, it took three surgeries and 189 stitches to repair the damage to his eye socket, nose, and cheek. I don't know his exact age, but I suspect he was in his late 20's or early 30's when the injury occurred.

The game of softball is the most participated sport in the U.S. Given this level of participation and the possible severity of facial injuries, it just makes sense that players in high risk positions should be required to wear a softball protective face mask. The unfortunate reality is that most people will not wear safety gear until they are required to do so. A couple of years ago, face masks on batting helmets became mandatory. In the year prior to that rule, my daughter's softball team was the only team in our fastpitch softball league that voluntarily put face masks on batting helmets. That's just one team out of approximately 50 teams.

I'm not sure why more players don't wear the protective face mask. I suspect some parents are not aware that it exists and many other parents don't want to spend the $40.00 because the odds are so slim. Imagine what the cost might be for a trip to the emergency room, a week in the hospital, and two or three re-constructive surgeries. That's just the actual financial cost. Also consider the potential of losing sight in one eye, or the mental damage associated with having scars from 189 stitches. Those costs can't be measured.

Now that you have been made aware of the safety issue, the severity of the injury, the knowledge that there are softball protective face masks on the market, what will your position be? Will you be proactive with your local league? If you coach, will you be proactive with your team? Finally, will you be proactive with your daughter, or with yourself if you play softball?

Slow pitch softball and fastpitch softball are great games. I hope you will take the necessary precautions to ensure your safety and those you are responsible for. For more information regarding softball game face protective masks, please see http://www.mysoftballcoach.com/game-face.html.

Jim Moyer is the author of http://www.mysoftballcoach.com Having coached over 500 youth fastpitch softball games, Jim decided to put the information online to allow parent/coaches to draw on his unique experience.

At the material level, your 3D application offers several material types that are great tools for creating complex materials. They include:

Blend Enables unlimited levels of blended and masked materials to be on top of materials on top of materials.

Top/Bottom Materials that are different at the top of an object than at the bottom, such as a boat that has sat in the water for a while, or an object that has sat in strong sunlight and faded on the top but not on the bottom.

In your 3D application, top can be defined in terms of World or Local axis.

Double Sided Reduce complexity of mesh objects by applying two materials, one on the side with face normals, the other on the back side. This is good for creating pages of a book from a Quad Patch or a floor/ceiling for an architectural project.

You can set the back material to "bleed" through to the front, simulating translucency.

Multi/Sub-Object A combination of materials each assigned to faces with a corresponding Material ID number. Each Sub-Object material can be as simple or as complex as you need.

You might, for example, create a ballpoint pen as one mesh object and then assign Material ID numbers to the cap, the body, and the bezel. You then create a Multi/Sub-Object material with three colors and textures to correspond to the IDs. When you have the material defined, you can add the grunge details by using the various mapping types.

Do not be afraid to experiment, and Do not become blinded by the map name. Noise can easily be defined as smudge or blotch. Some of the your 3D application map type possibilities are:

Cellular Use this map type to simulate a growing cell pattern in a stone dish or a "cracked earth" type pattern. It is useful for bump and diffuse color textures.

Falloff This new map type causes a falloff effect based on distance. The direction of falloff can be according to World or Local axis, viewing direction, or a particular object. You can use it to enhance depth in a scene; it performs best as a mask or modifier to diffuse, bump, or opacity maps.

Output, RGB Multiply, RGB Tint Mimic the controls of the same names found in the roll outs of bitmaps and are useful to add their namesake effects to map types that Do not have them built in. For instance, you can use an Output map in the Diffuse slot and then add a Dent map as an Output sub-map to add the Output controls to a Dent map type.

Smoke, Speckle, Splat Procedural maps such as Noise, but with different patterns. They are excellent for random bump or opacity effects and can be powerful grunge tools when used as masks and Mix or Composite maps.

Smoke can be effective as a Shininess or Shin.Strength map to break or boost the surface shininess subtly.

Thin Wall Refraction Gives the illusion of the jog visible when you put a pencil in a glass of water. Your 3D application refraction, however, made only bitmaps appear refracted, not objects.

Mini pen fishing rods, im thinking of getting one of the pen sized fishing rods fods for my son?

and i was wondering how exactly the mini baitcasting reel works? i obviously know these rods are a bit of a gadget and wont be as good as a full size rod but i reckon it will be ideal and loads of fun for me and the lad, ive only ever used a spinning reel so i have no idea how one of the baitcasting reels work especially this small, how do you stop the line from coming out when it hits the water? (on a spinning reel the arm flips over to stop it coming out any more) also are they easy to cast with? i can see there is a small black button on the mini baitcasting reels, what is that? is it a sort of brake? has anyone used one of the pen sized rods and baitcasting reels? the one im on about they sell on nauticalia uk and loads on ebay, i'd really be grateful for any advice or tips, thanks alot.

1.) and i was wondering how exactly the mini baitcasting reel works?

A baitcasting reel will be a tussle if you've never used one. I don't recommend starting out with one. But, here's what you do, Get in your position as if you were casting, put your thumb over the line release button and the spool with line in it, when you follow through, press the button at the beginning, and when it hits the water, hold your thumb over the spool of line so it doesn't come out. Watch out, if not timed right you will get something they call a "bird's nest". That's when all the line bundles up and twists up into a reel, and it's hard to get out. Anyway, after you held the spool, reel in the line and you'll hear a "clicking" sound. Now, no line will be able to come out.

2.) how do you stop the line from coming out when it hits the water?

After you held the spool, reel in the line and you'll hear a "clicking" sound. Now, no line will be able to come out.

3.) also are they easy to cast with?

No, they're not. If you're a beginner, i highly recommend not getting a baicasting reel if you're not experienced with one. If they have a spinning model, get it. Or even a spincast model.

4.) i can see there is a small black button on the mini baitcasting reels, what is that?

There's many small buttons. Where is it located? There's a button for letting the line out, and they're is a drag button. And some baitcasting reels have more than that.

5.) is it a sort of brake?

It's definitely not a brake. Because, you stop the line with your thumb and then you reel in until you hear it click.

6.) has anyone used one of the pen sized rods and baitcasting reels?

Nope, I've never used one. But, i know enough about baitcasting reels to inform you.

Well, i answered every single question.

Hope i helped ya out.

Get vanish line instead it is so cool. Hope I helped.

Fishing is a great hobby, giving you the chance to be out in the fresh air and sunshine while you're relaxing. You can get far away from the hustle and bustle of daily life, and be at one with nature.

Like most hobbies, fishing requires some basic equipment. Fishing tackle is the gear you use to get artificial or live bait in front of a fish. You don't need much tackle to get started in fishing, but it's important to get the basics right. You can always add more tackle once your skill level improves, and you're ready to use more advanced tackle.

Rod and Reel

This is probably the most important piece of tackle. It's good to start off with a lightweight rod and spinner reel, because they're easier to handle and make it simpler to tell when youÂ’ve had a bite. Quite often you can purchase this as one unit. If you're just thinking about taking up fishing, borrow one from a friend to try it out. A fishing rod suitable for an adult is usually 6 feet long, and a child's rod 4 to 5 feet long.

Fishing Line

Fishing line is also called filament, and you can buy it in a variety of sizes or strengths. The strength is measured in a unit called pound-test, and the higher the pound-test number, the stronger the fishing line. It's important to choose line that matches your rod and reel, the bait you use and the fish you're planning to catch. If youÂ’ve got a small, lightweight rod, and use spin casting or a spinning reel, you only need line up to 6 pound-test. The most popular line is in the 8 to 16 pound-test range. It's important not to use too heavy a line, though, because it becomes more visible to the fish. Most basic equipment and kids' rods are best used with 8 pound-test fishing line.

Bait

Bait can be either live or artificial, and there are plenty of varieties. You can always use the old favorite from the garden, earthworms, particularly if you have an active compost heap. If you don't have your own worms, you can buy them, or else use mealworms, grubs, kernel corn or bread balls.

Floats

Floats, or bobbers, are attached to the fishing line, and sit on the water surface. When the float dips into the water, you know a fish has taken a bite. It's best to use small floats, with just enough weight to stop the bait dragging it under the water. Pencil shaped bobbers are the most sensitive, but you can also use a round bobber which is generally easier to cast. Slip bobbers are easy to adjust and use, and are great for beginners and children.

Hooks

You can buy fishhooks in a large range of sizes and styles. If you're going to use live bait, you'll probably find it easiest to buy a variety pack, so that you get a range of hooks from size No. 6 to No. 10. If you're after bigger fish, get larger hooks. For catch and release fishing, you need to flatten the barbs on your fishhook, to minimize damage to the inside of the fish's mouth. As a general rule of thumb, work out what type of fish you're planning to catch and use a hook that's compatible with the size of the fish's mouth. If it's too small, the fish will swallow the hook, and if it's too big, the fish won't take the bait.

Sinkers or Weights

You need these to stop your line from floating on the surface of the water. You can get everything from split shot sinkers that range from tiny through to pencil size, right up to sinkers that weight a pound or more. For beginners and children, use split shot. Make sure they're lead free to protect the environment.

Other Gear

Now that you have everything you need, it's time for the best part - going fishing! Head off for a nice shady spot on the bank of a stream, relax, and wait for a fish to nibble on the bait.
