by: Captain John C. Allen
The night time coolness is beginning to move and the sky has that eerie glow just before the sun rises. You are clutching a hot cup of coffee and can't remember the last time it tasted this good.
Twin engines are growling and you are heading out through the breaker wall to the big water. You can't wait to get set up and hear that line rip off the reel with someone yelling "Fish On".
Life does not get any better than this, you think to yourself....

- Golf Basics – One Golf Grip At A Time
by: Jeff O'Brien
Date Posted: April 20 2006
I would like to focus the jest of this article on the basis of the golf swing… the grip. With spring in the air and golf on our minds let's get this year off to a good start by not overlooking the basics.
Unquestionably the biggest mistake I see in people's golf swing isn't in their golf swing itself.
Nope. Not at all.
More often than not the mistakes happen before the swing even begins. The first mistake is made in how the golfer holds the golf club. After that the next mistake usually comes in with how they stand up to the ball. Poor posture. Then after having two strikes against them, they then finish the job of making it almost impossible to hit a good golf shot by improperly lining up to their intended target.
Of course, after hitting several (possibly several hundred) balls with only a minute few being what they think is acceptable the tired frustrated golfer asks… what am I doing wrong with my swing?

- Quick And Easy Way To Your First Salmon Fishing Adventure
by: Sintilia Miecevole
Date Posted: April 18 2006
Your First Fishing Rod:
The most important piece of equipment is a fishing rod and the best place to purchase a rod is at a real pro shop or bait and tackle shop. Pro shops usually have a really good return policy. If you get a rod that is not comfortable for you, too stiff or too flexible, too long or too short, they will usually exchange it for a rod that will work better for you. They want your return business for things like bait and tackle.
The Place:
The best place to fish for salmon is in the river when they come up to spawn. The local pro shop should be happy to provide you with the best times for fishing salmon. Salmon spawn at different times and come up the rivers at different intervals throughout the season, so planning is important if you want to fish when the salmon are spawning.
The Boat:
Best to have a flat bottom river boat, but those are expensive. It may not be a good idea to take a regular "V" hull lake boat into the river because the depths can be too shallow and unpredictable.

- Baseball's Dead Ball Era: 1900 to 1919
by: FR Penn
The early part of the Twentieth Century saw the rise of an age that has come to be known as the Dead Ball Era of baseball. The Dead Ball Era reportably spanned the Progressive Reform Age leading up to the Roaring Twenties, which ran from 1900 to 1919. During this time, professional and semi-professional ball clubs relied heavily on defense and pitching, and scoring was at a premium.
Pitchers dominated the pace of the games, and several legendary pitchers established their lasting legacy during this period. Some of the most notable were Cy Young, Walter Johnson and Grover Cleveland Alexander. In part, these fellows and several others were responsible for a lack of offensive production during this period, but there were other reasons as well.
