The University of Maine - Cooperative Extension: Cranberries - Highbush Cranberry (not a true cranberry)

The University of Maine - Cooperative Extension: Cranberries - Highbush Cranberry (not a true cranberry): "The highbush cranberry is actually not a cranberry at all, though its fruit, or “drupes” as they are known taxonomically, strongly resemble cranberries in both appearance and taste. They also mature in the fall, as cranberries do. The two plants are quite different, however. Both are native to North America, but the highbush cranberry is a Viburnum, a member of the Caprifoliaceae, or Honeysuckle family, in contrast to the ‘true,’ or ‘lowbush’ cranberry, which is a Vaccinium, a member of the Ericaceae—Heather or Heath—family.

Northland Fishing Tackle: Basic Knowledge

Northland Fishing Tackle: Basic Knowledge: "LAKE TYPES Our game fish swim in many different lake types in the Northland. Certain species thrive in rivers, lakes and reservoirs because special conditions are present for their existence. Rivers are the most prolific, and produce the widest variety of gamefish species. The large shallow sand bottom lakes and bays are normally best suited for walleye & perch, while the shallow weedy lakes and bays are better suited for Largemouth Bass, Panfish and Northern Pike. In the larger Canadian glacier lakes that are predominately deep and rocky . . . Crappie, Walleye, Lake Trout, Smallmouth Bass, Northern Pike and Muskie all have certain niches and areas that they dominate and thrive in!"

Spring Snow Goose Hunting in Canada & Manitoba :: Snow Goose Hunting Canada :: :: GetDucks.com: "Join us in Manitoba Canada for some of the finest decoying snow goose hunting you're ever likely to experience.  Tired of chasing those high-pressured snow geese in the Lower-48 and shooting nose-bleed high birds with triple-B's?  Then it's time to hunt them over small mobile spreads of high-quality full bodies, or light and compact silo-socks where steel 2's, or even 4's, perfectly get the job done.

As featured on Berretta's Waterfowler's Edge, this Canada spring snow goose hunt is the perfect destination from mid-April to mid-May: go back to the other side of the flyway! "

Jaybat's Birds of Prey Website: "I enjoy hearing from those who visit this site. If you have questions or comments about hawks, Email me!

I've been interested in raptors and other birds of prey since the early 1980s. I've conducted hawk watches in Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas for the Hawk Migration Association of North America (HMANA); was the Western editor of Hawk Migration Studies, HMANA's journal, for ten years; and was on its Board of Directors for a term.

I'm most familiar with the migrations of Broad-winged Hawks, Mississippi Kites, and Red-tailed Hawks over the central and western U.S. Gulf Coast."

Sunday Morning Serenade - Saskatchewan - YouTube

Sunday Morning Serenade - Saskatchewan - YouTube:
Video uploaded from my mobile iPhone at 8AM Sunday morning, September-09-2012.
Air-impact torque wrenches are being used to assemble steel grain bins on a commercial lot directly opposite our residence. This work generally continues daily throughout summer (including Sundays and legal holidays), from 7:30AM onwards.
A "decibel" is the unit to measure the loudness of sound.
When using an air-impact torque wrench, ear protection is necessary because the decibel level of the tool is over 100 decibels (104 -107 dB) -- a dangerous noise level.
Any noise level above 85 decibels (dB) may be hazardous to your hearing, even if it only lasts for a short while.

Medical Malpractice: Using Expert Witnesses | Nolo.com

Medical Malpractice: Using Expert Witnesses | Nolo.com: "Almost all medical malpractice cases require testimony from a medical expert. The facts are usually too complex for non-doctors to determine if the patient's doctor should be held liable for the patient's injury. In fact, in many states you must get a medical expert's opinion before you can initiate a lawsuit.
It pays to learn ahead of time why expert testimony is crucial in medical malpractice cases, what that testimony consists of, who may serve as an expert, and when an expert might not be necessary."

Firearms, ammo, weapons, gear reviews, 2nd Amendment issues, etc...: Saiga AK Conversion

Firearms, ammo, weapons, gear reviews, 2nd Amendment issues, etc...: Saiga AK Conversion: "Saiga AK Conversion
The Saiga is made by Izhmash, the original AK-47 manufacturer in Russia, who still produces the real deal for the Russian military. They produce them in a variety of different calibers including (but not limited to) 5.56, 7.62x39, .308, and even shotgun calibers such as 12ga and 20ga (among others).

They are quality AK's, some of the best on the market in my opinion, and very hard to beat at the prices they can be had at.

In order to qualify for importation, the Saiga AK is made in a "sporting" configuration without the signature pistol grip and to accept only 10 round magazines specifically designed for the Saiga. They even mark the 5.56 rifles in .223 to help pass them off as "sporting rifles" (some would say)."
