Goose Decoys

by San Diego Air & Space Museum Archives

Feeding swans is one of the most crucial parts of raising swans on your property. Fortunately, this is not difficult to do as swans will happily exist on the spoils of nature. You should toss out birdseed mixture that is meant for geese and ducks as well as tiny bread crumbs. The swans will happily exist on these elements as long as they have water and some sort of shelter where they can survive.

In order to properly raise swans, you need to create their

T-Shirt CompanyÂ?s Spyware-Free Laptop is one of the Most Popular Items on eBay

East Lansing, MI (PRWEB) March 15, 2005

Spyware is pesky, intrusive software that slows down computers, and bombards their users with irritating pop up advertising. One Michigan company has found a creative solution to the problem, and it involves a shotgun. The company, RetroDuck.com, posted a Â?Like Used Â? Slightly Shotguned LaptopÂ? on eBay this week, and the auction has quickly gained widespread notoriety. Their guarantee to prospective purchasers is that their laptop is 100% Spyware-Free.

Â?This laptop may not be perfect, but it is absolutely immune to Spyware,Â? said Sean Maday, CEO of RetroDuck.com.

The laptop was made by Acer, and saw rotation at RetroDuck.com for several years. It was the vintage t-shirt companyÂ?s latest loss in an ongoing battle against Spyware on its computers. Consequently, it was chosen to be sacrificed at the end of a 12 gauge barrel. It was shot twice, once through the screen, and once through the keyboard.

By Monday morning, March 14, the Â?shotguned laptopÂ? had been viewed on eBay over 72,000 times, and was being recognized as one of eBayÂ?s most watched items. Additionally, bidding on the laptop had surpassed $ 100.

Â?We have been bombarded with fun emails from people who want to get in on the act,Â? Maday said. Â?The response to this auction has been amazing, and we appreciate everyone who has taken the time to check out the laptop, and email us their thoughts. The wining bidder will get themselves one heck of a deal.Â?

The laptop auction ends on Saturday, March 19, and the winning bidder will pay $ 10 to have their Spyware-Free computer shipped to their door. RetroDuck.com is also recommending the winning bidder buy shipping insurance, so that the laptop is not damaged in transit.

Lake Forest, CA (PRWEB) October 11, 2005

Guidelines4Quilting, http://www.Guidelines4Quilting.com, a new designer and manufacturer of sewing and quilting notions, today announced the launch of Guidelines™. This revolutionary new ruler for quilters adds the seam allowance automatically and includes innovative features like a 3-D Grid, No-Slip Strips, Floating Handle and Angle Line Markers. Clearly not just another ruler, Guidelines™ is designed for quilting.

“We are very excited to offer our customers this remarkable new tool for quilting,” said a Guidelines4Quilting Spokesperson. “The great thing about quilting rulers is that you can make a thousand different quilt pieces without needing a thousand different templates. The only drawback is that while templates included the seam allowance, quilting rulers left it up to you to do the math and it can get pretty confusing. That’s why quilters buy paper templates and special rulers just for things like half and quarter square triangles even though they can be done on their basic ruler.”

Guidelines4Quilting solves that problem with its revolutionary new Finished Size Guides. Making flying geese units with conventional rulers requires adding and subtracting seam allowances like 7/8″ and 1 1/4″ in the right order. No wonder quilters are still paying for individual templates.

“It’s really quite simple,” the spokesperson went on to say. “You only need to know the finished size you want. The Finished-Size Guide adds the seam allowance for you. Making flying geese units based on finished sizes is a snap. Make the quarter square triangle twice as big as the half square triangles or you can make them any size you want.”

Also included are Fabric Guides that can be used to clearly mark any measurement line on the ruler. If your using a pattern that already includes the seam allowance, or are cutting paper for a memory book, you can always find the exact measurement line you need. Accurate results have never been easier to achieve.

In a nutshell, with the Guidelines Ruler, you are no longer limited to sizes dictated by paper templates or rulers made for just half and quarter square triangles. There is no need to buy a separate ruler for angles. No need for add-on suction cup handles or anti-slip devices.

To purchase or learn more about the Guidelines Ruler, simply visit http://www.Guidelines4Quilting.com. Guidelines4Quilting is so confident that you’ll love Guidelines Ruler that they’re offering a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee. Wholesale pricing is available for independent retailers and qualified quilt instructors. Guidelines4Quilting also welcomes distributor inquiries.

About Guidelines4Quilting:

Previous products designed and manufactured by Guidelines4Quilting include O’Weights™ pattern weights and accessories for quilting rulers that were sold and marketed through other channels. Guidelines4Quilting recently started directly marketing and selling its new product line under the Guidelines™ brand name.

When the offer comes to take an elk hunting trip with some hunting buddies, it won’t take but a second to decide if you are going!  Hunting elk is all about enjoying the outdoors, by not only harvesting a great big ‘ol bull elk but also enjoying the natural surroundings of it’s habitat.

Imagine if you will, sitting against an old maple tree, looking down into the valley with snow-covered mountains in the background.  The natural hidden-forest meadow that only you know about (or probably more realistically), you think that only you know about, is the reality of every elk hunting trip manifested in the continental United States and even parts of Canada.

There are new and exciting elk hunting trips that can be had from many great outfitters found mostly in the Pacific Northwest of the United States.  Hunting for a majestic elk will not always be a successful foray, however if you are utilizing the services of an outfitter, your chances of success have increased greatly.

Make sure you do enlist the services of a great elk hunting outfitter as these gentlemen and some gentle ladies offer the best opportunities and resources for elk hunting trips.  Communicate your needs and desires with your outfitter.  This will increase your level of satisfaction with your hunt and determine what’s expected of each and every person in the elk hunting party.

You can start your research by looking online and comparing outfitters and hunting packages.  Most packages will include food, lodging (though it may only be a tent), your elk tag as well as hauling and processing of your harvested game.  Most outfitters also offer, “do it yourself” packages.  As the name denotes, you are responsible for just about every aspect of the hunt.  However, if you are going to pay an outfitter to have the opportunity to hunt an elk, why not take advantage of all their services.  It will definitely cost more, but it will undoubtedly add to the wonderful memories you will have of your hunt.

Some of the best stories of elk hunting trips come from Northwestern Oregon and Washington in the United States and in the Saskatchewan in Canada.  These stories all culminate with a great duel with one of nature’s most powerful and precious natural resources, the bull elk of North America.  Known for environmental-beauty and wonders beyond imagination these areas of North America are home to a large population of bull elk.

If you decide to head out on your own elk hunting trip without the use of an outfitter, make sure you get a copy of the game laws for the state and region that you’re hunting. Speak with the locals if you are heading to an area of the country you are not completely familiar with.  Be sure to plan in time for some scouting.  As always, be sure you have permission to hunt on private land and remember that “fair chase” is the only way to hunt.

The best approach to make any elk hunting trip  the best possible experience is to educate yourself on the habitat and terrain and the other aspects of hunting this wonderful creature that is bull elk and be sure that you share the experience with family or friends.

A rifle is very important to all rifle owners and they all want to protect their precious pieces of weaponry from eventual damage. After all, a rifle is quite an investment but if properly maintained and protected it can serve you well for many years. Investing in a quality rifle case which is primarily intended to protect the rifle during transport is therefore a wise decision which can save you a lot of money.

Quality rifle cases are not that expensive in compare to the pieces of weaponry they are intended to protect and while weighing your options ask yourself how valuable is your rifle to you. Is it worth to risk your rifle getting damaged due to poorly manufactured case? The vast majority of rifle owners are not willing to take that chance and neither should you. There are many brands offering inexpensive rifle cases which may be very tempting but they often turn out to be more expensive than the most expensive cases there are on the market. Quality has its price and it is virtually impossible to find a truly quality product including rifle cases for a low price. This means that the cheaper the product the poorer the quality of materials and manufacture making an inexpensive rifle cases less durable as well as less reliable. You can be sure that a quality rifle case will serve you well for years and offer ultimate protection to your rifle but if choosing a cheap case from an unknown brand you never know what you will get. You may get an extraordinary rifle case with which you are going to be perfectly satisfied but that is commonly not the case. An inexpensive rifle case may serve its function for months, weeks or days. You simply cannot know.

Since a quality rifle case can last for many years and does not need to be replaced as frequently as poorly designed cases people who are not willing to invest in a quality case at the beginning spent more money in long term. Meanwhile they also risk their rifle being damaged due to poorly manufactured case.

Did you know that geese make up a huge percentage – around twenty, in fact – of the poultry industry? This is the reason why many farmers these days are eager to know every bit of information they can about every goose breeding, but most especially the popular ones.

If you’re interested in breeding geese, whether your intentions are related to profit-making or investing in a new hobby, it would do you well to find out and learn more about goose and breeding or the different kinds of goose breeds out there. Of course, since there are a great number of breeds to choose from, we’ll only talk about the ones that are considered the most popular breeds of today. Finding the right breed for you is important because it will help you decide which one best suits your purpose as well as your lifestyle, allowing you to make the necessary arrangements beforehand.

The most common types as far as goose breeding are about ten in number, but in this article we’ll only talk about four, and these are the following breeds: the Chinese goose breed, the Emden goose breed, the African goose breed, and of course the Toulouse goose breed. Now, to get to know each of these goose breeding types, sit back in your most comfortable chair and read on.

The Emden goose breed is one of the most prolific breeders. Not only that, they are also the most suitable for crossing, which is a great feature whether you’re looking to profit from breeding goose or not. Feathers of Emden geese are also highly in demand because of their white color and silky feel. The Chinese breed, however, is better at laying eggs. Members of this breed are also considered better sitters and foragers, and they weigh more and mature earlier. This makes this particular goose breeding ideal for profit-making purposes.

The African breed is unique-looking, owing to its tall stature, dark beak, brown plumage, and that unmistakable knob on its head. Members of this goose breeding are good layers, although their average weight is smaller than those of the Chinese and Emden breeds.

Strawtown, IN (PRWEB) December 2, 2008

John and Valarie Bundy and their son, Jason, have announced that their new Bundy Ducks e-commerce web site is now online. The site, BundyDucks.com, was developed to make their famous wood duck carvings and other American folk art accessible to more collectors of quality hand made crafts. Bundy Ducks carvings produced at their shop are prized for their beauty and can be found in homes and businesses all over the world.

For over a quarter century, John, Valarie and son, Jason, have been acknowledged for creating unique decoy carvings. At the web site premier celebration, John Bundy addressed his family and friends with a speech about the heritage of duck decoy carving.

“The tradition of the self-taught carver is one of the longest lived in American folk art and began with the Native Americans. They were the first to use a decoy for luring game birds from the sky,” said Mr. Bundy. “Over the centuries, decoys evolved into wooden carvings for art’s sake.”

A large and representative collection of the Bundy duck decoy carvings and folk art are available for purchase at BundyDucks.com. The online gallery includes both the Classic and Country Ducks. Each Classic Duck is blocked out from a log, showing the beautiful natural grain of the White Cedar wood. Bundy Country Ducks are a more traditional approach to the decoy art form that use wood-burned details, hand painting, and special antiquing that creates a rustic decoy look.

No two Bundy Decoys are alike, a reason why they are so collectible. While there are all kinds of gift items in today’s world, there are very few that are still made from real wood and even fewer that are made right from the log.

At the conclusion of Mr. Bundy’s speech, Valarie Bundy added, “When you purchase one of our carvings, you actually own a small part of our life. Each of our decoys is handled by us 28 times and requires many hours of hand labor. Now you can see these beautiful carvings and imagine how they might look in your own home by visiting our web site.”

Bundy Ducks is a family-owned American folk art craft shop located in the countryside near Strawtown, Indiana; about 50 miles northeast of Indianapolis, Indiana, where the Bundys hand make the most unique and individual carved decoys and other fine pieces of folk art in the world. The artists’ web site displays exquisite carvings for home décor, collectibles, and business gifts in the form of carved duck decoys, hand made knives, carved buffaloes, walking sticks, and other fine works of art. To learn more about Bundy Ducks, call 800-387-3831, visit their new web site at www.BundyDucks.com, or send e-mail to BundyDucks@verizon.net.
