Call for prices and gear information. In Northwest Alaska the best time to target Dolly Varden in during the spawn which runs from the first week of August through week 3. Most of our clients land between 75-100 fish in the 15+ pound range and most groups will land a few fish over 20 pounds!

"Two rod-and-reel outfits suit the trip. Use a 5-weight for the eager grayling that are often rising, and an 8- or 10-weight outfit for char, salmon, and sheefish. Use a floating line on the 5-weight, and a multi-tip line for the heavier rod (RIO Coldwater VersiTip or Scientific Anglers Tri Tip).
|
Bring #2-6 streamers such as Barr’s Meat Whistles (black, white, tan), #1/0 to #4 Clouser Minnows (chartreuse over white), and Egg-Sucking Bunny Leeches. Realistic egg imitations (cheese-colored, 6 to 8mm), mouse patterns, poppers, and large rubber-legged stoneflies are also valuable."

Home »featured»Who are we… REALLY?
|
A Psalm of Identity, Who are we?
|
Regardless of its few or many letters?
|
Or what we have yet still to accomplish?
|
Has God our Father deemed us to be limited in any respect?
|
Or who we are called to be?
|
Our Lord has made us in His image- leaving nothing out.
|
He leaves healing, mercy, goodness and kindness in our wake.
|
That old thick and tainted sin!
|
Who has been set free?
|
Not many people take the time to think about their “wake” and what they leave behind themselves. The Bible shows us that Peter was so filled with power and who he was in Christ that his very shadow healed the sick! In psalms we read that goodness and lovingkindness follow us everywhere we go! The word for today is a word of encouragement, encouraging you to not be so busy moving ahead that you bulldoze your way through life, leaving chaos and stresses behind you everywhere you go!
|
Who are we, really? We are followers of Christ in all His actions and as we follow Him forward we leave Him behind us everywhere we go!
|
God bless you my friends as you seek out the new and whole identity of the follower of Christ!

Hair updo styles. Pictures of updo hairstyles.
|
Are you looking at a more sophisticated hair updo style for your wedding or prom? If so, we have a great collection of examples that will help you find the right look. Our examples focus on women who have somewhat longer hair that can be used in dramatic fashion. Here you will find a number of updo hairstyles from those close to casual to others that push the boundaries and make an unforgettable impression. The first row of examples is highlighted by the third photo which features a complicated pinned up style, yet has enough play to make it attractive. The second photo is a great example of how bangs can be used to really highlight the face while still having the rest of the hair updo pinned back. Naturally, augmenting your hair with natural decorations such as flowers can make for a great way to set your style apart. In the second row we see more classic examples of sophisticated wedding and prom updo styles. While the first example is perfect for those with very curly hair, the third and fourth are pure classic updo’s perfect for more formal occasions. If you have long, thick hair, then you might want to try the example in the second photo to highlight your face. The third row is a great combination of pulled back styles along with loose, more casual feel. The second example does require some work and spray, but the results are perfect for weddings. For younger women, especially those attending the prom the first and fourth photos provide excellent examples of what can be done. For the final row we have another combination of both casual and pinned up hair that you can choose from when attending the wedding or prom. In particular, the third photo shows a dramatic style indeed.

Portfolio 3 showcases delicate up-dos mainly for long straight hair. Picture number 1 and 2 are beautiful examples of straightforward updo’s incorporating hair accessories that are fit for the most magnificent wedding. Picture number 10 is a gorgeous and sophisticated low chignon with the hair neatly pinned back away from the face.

MARIKINA CITY – The Marikina City council is celebrating the Christmas season focusing on the city’s rich culture and heritage, its growing shoe and food industries, as well as the contributions of the family in its growth and development over the last three centuries.
|
“Founded nearly 400 years ago, Marikina City has weathered a number of challenges, thanks to the strength and the unity of its people – those who were originally from Marikina and those who decided to settle here and found kinship with the locals (or “taal na Marikeño” in Filipino),” the local government said in a statement.
|
The significance of unity will take the center stage in these festivals.
|
Dubbed as Experience Marikina, the local government has lined up numerous activities to celebrate its three major festivals in the last two months of the year: the Sapatos Festival, the Rehiyon, Rehiyon, and the Christmas Festival.
|
The city will also commemorate the 22nd year since it became a chartered city on December 8, 1996.
|
“United ang theme ng celebrations ng mga festival sa Marikina. Iyan ang vision ni Mayor Marcy na i-institutionalize ang lahat ng city events. So naging tagni-tagni siya in tune with the overall direction, which is to give emphasis and importance to family, culture, heritage, shoes, and food,” Winnie Mariano, city events manager, said in an interview.
|
Among the highlights of the Sapatos Festival will be the shoe bazaar that will run from November 12 to January 6 at the Freedom Park, right across the Marikina City Hall.
|
Over 50 manufacturers from Marikina will be selling their products – shoes, bags, belts, wallets, and other accessories at attractive prices.
|
Marikina is best known as the Shoe Capital of the Philippines because it was here where the first pair of shoes was made in 1887, paving the way for the inception of a vibrant shoe industry known for its high quality craftsmanship, durability, and comfort.
|
Rehiyon, Rehiyon Festival, on the other hand, will honor those who came from other places in the country and settled in the city, becoming Marikeños in the process as they successfully assimilated with the locals and absorbed their tradition, culture, heritage, values and ways of life.
|
Lastly, the Christmas Festival, which started with the installation of Christmas lights and lanterns on the riverbank, streets, parks and other places in Marikina, will feature a concert comprised of local artists and bands and ending with a fireworks display will be held on December 30 at the Marikina Sports Center.

I started this challenge on my youtube and you can find that HERE if you would like to watch it.
|
I had an idea to do a challenge where my sim had to build everything for the town. So I started googling to see if there was any challenges already out there that did what I was looking for. A few that I found wasn't really what I was looking for. I wanted to also create all the rabbit hole lots along with the residential lots with out having to move into each house and leave other sims behind. I didn't want to have to repopulate the whole town with just my sim either so I decided to create my own. So here is what I have come up with so far.
|
I was requested to write down the rules for this challenge so here are the challenge rules!
|
Your sim has come from an over crowded town with lots of noise and pollution. They have traveled far away from any civilization and has settled here to start over from scratch. This area has no buildings, no houses and no residents. This is a great place for your sim to start over in life and build everything from scratch from the ground up.
|
Pick any world you like and go into Edit Town and delete every house and building. This includes any rabbit holes.
|
Pick your sim either by creating new or a preexisting one.
|
Your lifespan can be what ever you want, I suggest a long one. I'm using a fairy so I have a very long life span.
|
Your sim will not have a job to start out with so you will need to make money in other ways like fishing, searching for flowers or gems to sell.
|
Once your sim has some money you can do other things to make money as well like painting, photography, writing for example.
|
Once some job buildings are placed you can have your sim have a job along with previous mentions of money making activities.
|
Your sim can buy properties or become business owners to make money as well.
|
~When you build the house to rent, you don't need to build with your own money otherwise your sim will end up spending double the cost. Build the house then go in and have your sim rent it out.
|
~Once a residential lot has been created for a certain category, you can add to it later as long as it doesn't take it out of it's original category; for example: a starter home changing to a family home.
