"A A Fishing" is dedicated to those kindred spirits who have an inborn desire for fishing and seek knowledge about the science and sport of fishing. Since the beginning, mankind has sought fish as a food source. To most, catching fish was simply a means to an end. To some, the pursuit was the awakening of an instinct that drew them to the water in search of the thrill of the "tap - tap" that only a true fisherman really understands.
Knowledge gained from fishing for fun as well as tournament fishing is collected and organized relative to fishing various waters for a variety of species. Their Knowledge center comprises the work of many anglers who wish to share their knowledge and fishing experiences with others. Included in "AA Fishing" are tips, techniques and secrets for all aspects of fishing.
Disaster can strike quickly and without warning. It can force you to evacuate your neighborhood or confine you to your home. What would you do if basic services such as water, gas, electricity or telephones were cut off? Local officials and relief workers will be on the scene after a disaster, but they cannot reach everyone right away. Therefore, the best way to make your family and your home safer is to be prepared before disaster strikes. Blackouts Chemical Emergencies Drought Earthquakes Fires Floods Heat Waves Hurricanes Mudslides Terrorism Thunderstorms Tornado Tsunami Volcanoes Wild Fires Winter Storms Press "Blue Button" for Disaster Services.
Emergency Plan There are six basics you should stock for your home: water, food, first aid supplies, clothing and bedding, tools and emergency supplies, and special items. Keep the items that you would most likely need during an evacuation in an easy-to carry container. Possible containers include a large, covered trash container, a camping backpack, or a duffle bag.

New York State apple growers have been perfecting their apples for over 300 years. Enjoy them all year long. From the classic McIntosh to the snappy Empire, New York has what you want in an apple. Taste the difference, savor the quality, share the pride.
It's no coincidence that apples are the symbol of good health. In the Middle Ages, the English said "To eat an apple before going to bed will make the doctor beg his bread." We now know that there's a sound basis for the familiar "apple a day" rhyme. Take a look at the nutritional benefits of a medium size Apple Country® apple.
Nutritional Facts: Apples are absolutely fat-free. One apple provides as much dietary fiber as a bowl of bran cereal. Apples are loaded with pectin, a soluble fiber that aids digestion and may help reduce cancer and heart disease. The complex carbohydrates in apples give your body a longer, more even energy boost compared to high-sugar snacks. Snacking on apples can keep you going throughout the day. Apples provide boron, an essential trace element that helps harden bones and help prevent osteoporosis.

Playmusic.org introduces you to the various components of an orchestra, the family of instruments within an orchestra (Brass, Percussion, Weedwinds, Strings) and about the individual instruments. Learn about the String Section (bass, cello, viola, violin). Or learn about the Percussion Family (cymbals, triangle, bass drum, xylophone, timpani, snare drum). You can even learn how these instruments are made and how each one sounds.
Learn about each instrument: The violin is the smallest member of the string family. Because its strings are the shortest, it produces the highest sound. There are more violins in the orchestra than any other single instrument. The violins play in two different groups, with the first violins playing the highest-pitched part and the second violins playing the second-highest. Learn how an may be held: Rest the violin on one shoulder and hold it in place using your chin and left hand. Hold the bow in your right hand and draws it across the strings. This changes the pitch in two ways: by drawing the bow across different strings, and by pressing on the strings with the fingers of your left hand. The shape of the violin has stayed pretty much the same ever since the 1500s. That's almost 500 years! The modern violin has four strings, but the earliest ones had only three.
At Playmusic.org you can also learn how to write your own music! Press "Blue Button" and enjoy.
