Top 12 Nymphs for Trout Streams
Here, Skip Morris, the author of 23 books on fly fishing and tying flies, guides you through 12 great nymph-flies and how to catch trout on them in creeks, streams, and rivers. You get a color photograph of every fly. Skip tells you all about each fly--what it imitates, what it's designed to do, what it does do in the water, and more. Next, he teaches you how to fish each nymph-fly effectively--the best times to fish it, how deep in the water to fish it, deadly methods for fishing it (through illustrations and instructions), and more. He describes these methods plainly, so you can go right out and make them work. He even provides a section that helps you decide which nymph will best fit your specific fishing conditions and helps choose the best method for catching trout on it at that moment. Top 12 Nymphs for Trout Streams, How, When, and Where to Fish Them (2nd Edition) contains about 27,500 words, 26 color photographs showing all the flies and the creatures they imitate (a few of the shots are just to make you smile and sigh-one of a gorgeous cutthroat trout, others of grand fishing scenes on beautiful trout streams). Also included: 26 illustrations (two are really fine-art paintings) that teach you nymph fishing methods, rigs, and knots. Figuring out trout flies is often overwhelming for the new fly fisher and confusing enough even for the old pro. Let Skip guide you through 12 outstanding trout nymphs and how, when, and where to catch fish on them. And enjoy an entertaining read too.
The Thumb Tie
A thumb tie is a simple concept; the magician has his thumbs tied together in full view of everyone, nothing is hidden behind the back or under a cloth or any of the other false looking magician type practises. The tying is exactly what it appears to be.Two volunteers are each given a hoop and asked to throw them to the performer, as the hoops are caught they appear to melt through the tied thumbs and are left hanging from the performers forearm.Even with the volunteers watching just inches away from the thumbs, the performer's thumbs appear to melt through the volunteers clasped hands.The comedy comes from the situation and the expressions of the volunteers, this is maximum effect for minimal props - you just need a short length of rope, a pair of scissors and two hoops of some sort (tips about the hoops are given in the book), oh and the detailed instructions given in this book.This routine has been responsible for more bookings and television appearances than anything other routine I have done.There are many thumb tie routines and methods around. I have used as many as I can find but when I needed to improvise I found that couldn't rely on any of the methods I knew about.I decided to develop my own method and came up with this particular thumb tie method.The routine has been performed literally hundreds of times and most of them in the most extreme of conditions, on the street. I was a street performer for many years and this routine was developed over a number of years and in front of thousands of audience members all around the world.It can be performed without any spoken words if needed, the tying material can be improvised - once you understand why it works you will always have a guaranteed crowd pleaser at your disposal.Over the years I have come across everything that could wrong with the routine and I have built into the handling providing for all outcomes. When you purchase this routine you get years of work and a premium routine that is guaranteed to work.

Your visit to Blanca, a village in the famous Ricote Valley
Blanca is the ideal place for the slow movement, to enjoy the charm of its landscapes and to relax and live better. One cannot hurry the act of creation. Maybe this is a reason that we find in this village so many painters. They all need pace, slowness, silence to be creative and productive. I came from Holland, 40 years ago, and hated in that country the long queues of cars, the great haste of the people. During my travels to many foreign countries as a result of international business I came to the conclusion that there for me are only two places to live well: Haiwai and Blanca. This book has been written for you in ten lenguages: English, German, Dutch, Italian, French, Swedish, Russian, Arabic, Japonese and Chinese.

Creative Recycling
This photographic book documents a delightful collection of handmade miniature vehicles, boats and planes made from discarded and recycled material in Africa and purchased in at least 20 different countries between 1985 and 2003. They range from rudimentary to amazingly sophisticated. The collection has educational, cultural and environmental aspects, and the pieces showcase the imagination and ingenuity of African children and craftsmen.
