Finn Aagard is the only writer I ever sought articles by. Outside of a few common old school names and one or two from here on the Fire, doubt I could name any? Influenced by, as in what I've built and what I shoot, probably JB. I doubt I've have built a 9. Elmer on pistols, not so much rifles. And, not professional writers but Fire contributors, I'd go with the late BobinNH for his witty and informative style, JGRaider for his wonderful Safari report, gunner for his stories and awesome big ordinance.

There are others here that I could list, just included a few that came to mind. I'll probably think of some I left out. The Fire is a great place to swap lies and info Better than an article or a book; it's interactive, not static. Our very own MuleDeer- just enjoy the way he writes Craig Boddington turned me on to 6.

Bob Hagel Jim Carmichael John Barsness Even though I've killed more animals with a than with everything else put together, O'Connor never has had much influence on me; I've always viewed him as too much of an elitist Having him accessible here has just been a huge, huge gift to us all If he would just develop a little more of a sense of humor. I wasn't going to tel this story, because I don't know if what was said was true. And I want to be positive on the campfire. The one time I was in Africa was in October in It was the last hunt of the season, and I was the last hunter.

At that time there were five or six professional hunters staying at that lodge having a get together. They were from different outfitters. I remember a couple of things. I was enthralled by this writer. When I mentioned his name there was very loud snickering. Upon inquiring, it was explained to me. This writer, while having his PH licenses, had been mainly a bartender, and only filled in when needed. I understand that one must work his way into any profession, but I was crushed. It's probably my fault for being young and innocent.

But since then I just can't get into him, even though he has been very successful and did 'pump me up for Africa. Originally Posted by captdavid.

He disabused me of many years of bad habits and misconceived notions in a highly literate style with a great dry sense of humor along the way.

His thoughts on barrel length go short and recoil avoid as much as possible have always proven true for me. I also enjoy Craig Boddington, who as others have mentioned may have less to do with raw technical data and more to do with great story telling and a generally warm and conversational tone. Finally, Steven Rinella's work has been highly influential as well. History, biology, conservation, great hunting stories, cooking tips He will probably be remembered as one of my generation's most eminent outdoor writers.

Today, my favorite resource is the Campfire. Having John Barsness and Eileen Clarke, as well as many other great Gun writers, and members, share their wealth of knowledge for hunting and reloading is invaluable. Many threads and articles are bookmarked "Collectable" on my computer, and will be cherished for years to come. Back in the day, it was Skeeter Skelton. He was one of the more entertaining gun writers out there, I thought and I always enjoyed anything he wrote. I was definitely more handgun oriented many years ago. These days, I like our very own John Barsness the best.

His style is entertaining and informative, and I really appreciate his more scientific and intellectually honest approach to things. There are several others who are very good, I just happen to like Mule Deer the best. I can remember articles written by him Originally Posted by Bugger. Steve Timm always offered good, solid information in his articles. Bob Milek was good as was Aagard.

John Barsness and Phil shoemaker of course. Rick Jamison, despite what I think was a very wrong knee jerk reaction by many over the WSM issue, always had good stuff in his articles. When I was a boy, my family used to marvel at my capacity for dwelling on the minister's sermon. We'd be eating Sunday dinner together and they'd see me stewing over something. When called to answer for my discomfort, I'd launch into a diatribe about what the minister had said, sometimes bringing up sermons from several weeks previous.

It was what convinced them all that some day I'd make a good Methodist minister. I was thinking about my Clay Harvey diatribe, and I've been reading what y'all have written. Have you ever thought of yourselves as being a major influence? I don't mean to dispute our beloved M.

However, I've got a dedicated room filled with firearms that were in large part acquired under the influence of Shooters and 'Campers. I don't mean to sound slavish about it. I certainly have my share of impulse buying. I still don't own a Remington or anything in WIN. I can say safely, however, that all my favorite pieces purchased since have come from online recommendations and endorsements. This is the magic of the Internet. Singly, we're just another pudknocker on the WWW. However, we're each able to put in our vote and express an opinion. An individual outdoor writer whose main goal is to feed himself and his family may lead us astray, but his voice will be clear.

The Web is a cacophany, but if you make careful study of what you are reading, patterns emerge. It ends up being a lot like scouting deer. You see signs, and if you stand back from it all, you see a picture. Sorry, I just had to do that. I could read any of his work and feel like I was a part of it. He welcomed one in like a good fire crackling in the fireplace on a cold winter's eve. For sheer bust a gut fun it had to be Patrick McManus.

I defy anyone to read McManus and not bust a gut laughing. Corey Ford and Finn Aagard top my list. Originally Posted by BullShooter. That said, over the last 15 years or so, John Barsness has probably contributed more to my fumbling around with firearms than anyone else, but I don't hold him responsible for my unspectacular results. Gary Sitton is the only writer who caused me to buy a particular magazine just because they wrote in it.

I would read whatever he wrote first regardless if it was the first page or the last page in the magazine. It just seemed like I identified with him the most. Blowing the dust off this thread. My personal favorites go back a ways: I put together a collection of "old" firearms-related hardcover books starting in the mid s through the mid-'90s.

I practically have Whelen's "Wilderness Hunting and Wildcraft" and just about anything else written by him memorized. Mike Venturino and Paul Matthews got me interested in straightwall case cartridges and the levers and single-shots from which they are fired. I find it ironic that Venturino has "discovered" vintage military firearms and machine guns because back in the day he eschewed them vigorously.

I got a lot out of reading P O Ackley from a technical standpoint, but since I'm not and never have been a wildcatter both Ackley and Rick Jamison were not more than a passing interest to me. One author who holds about zero interest for me is Peter Kokalis. I purchase the Shotgun News annual "Treasury" issue mainly for the historical pieces therein, and read Kokalis' stuff just to red-pen it; his articles are fraught with decades-old errors made by previous authors and just parroted again and again.

Calling Coyotes and other predators by Jamison worsened the varmint hobby. Should have just moved West then, would have saved alot of gas money. When I was very young, I read any book written by Jim Kjelgard. For those of you who don't know him, he wrote the book "Big Red" which Disney made into a movie and royally screwed up.

His stories fueled my love for the outdoors. I met Bob Milek and Col. The shooting sports are full of great folks. Originally Posted by lastofthebreed. Hamilton Bowen is a most excellent writer. Besides that, Matthew Bracken. Our very own JB has influenced me the most.

Hemingway, Captsick, Ruark all gave me the yearning for Africa. John "Pondoro" Taylor introduced me to the 9. Ken Waters for hand loading. Ackley for giving me the bug to wildcat and an interest in "oddball" cartridges. Did lots of reading in the old Varmint Hunter magazines too, as well as Precision Shooting, but can't really remember the names of those writers. Mostly I went to the internet after that though, picking up information here and there. But I will say that JB has been pretty influential to me in the last years.

Probably the only one in that time period that I could single out. When I read the thread title, the first writer that came to mind was Hal Swiggett. Gun Digest used to be one of my favorite pubs to read when I was younger and impressionable. Hal was a fixture with GD for so long. For whatever reason, his style resonated with me. Ed Matunas wrote some great rimfire publications. I guess Capstick belongs in the conversation. As a creative hunting writer, he is without peer. I read just about everything he wrote. The entertainment value is off the charts. I have to give props to John Barsness.

I read his stuff anytime I saw it in print. It was a fantastic read. I most grateful though for the day in and day out contributions JB makes to the forum. I feel like I have a personal mentor on staff.

He's a legend in his own mind. I would say that the writer who influenced me the most was Jack O'Connor. Not necessarily on his choice of firearms, although his recipe for calibers and scopes work just as well today as they did then, but more because he could write a story and make you feel as though you were there with him. He lit a fire in me to go to the Yukon and be in the places he had been. It took quite a few years before I could do it but eventually I did and I carry the memories to this day. For pure entertainment 1 was Russell Annabel, 2 was Capstick.

Second, in our province the word 'cosmetic' is illegal in dentistry, as it is not a 'recognized specialty'. I believe Ontario is more liberal minded, so your son will see many clinics advertising their cosmetic services. All dentistry has a cosmetic aspect to it if it improves the appearance of the mouth. No, cosmetic dentistry is not a designated specialty — so there is a certain element of 'caveat emptor' or buyer beware.

In some jurisdictions any dentist can paint signs all over their window claiming to be a cosmetic dentist, which is precisely why the Alberta Dental Association has outlawed that to try and protect the patients. An acquaintance in the USA fell victim to that, and had some advance treatment completed by someone not qualified to do so. He spent more on signage for his window than training, and actually ruined her mouth.

So, tell your son to concentrate on finding a clinician he feels good about — and begin conservatively. In terms of clinics 'everywhere' that won't protect him one bit. Each dentist is a separate legal entity, and even if 50 offices operate under the same banner they are indeed 50 separate legal situations.

I ran a 4 office group practice in Central Alberta, and sold it several years ago. Any employer with many young doctors in multiple locations is going to hear complaints about some dentistry. I personally 'fixed' dentistry that was neither my making nor in fact my Associates. That is 'life' in group practices. I might recommend he find a single office where the dentist is going to be there for a while. This will aid with predictability in terms of which doctors and hygienists are going to be working on you in the future! If I filled this entire newspaper I couldn't tell you everything, and I would probably get sued!

This is a very broad question touching on numerous issues. Firstly, no dental work is guaranteed and any dentist saying so would be censured by the Dental Association. There are too many variables at play, and because we're all human it is not possible to guarantee how someone's system is going to behave to any dental treatment. We deal in predictable solutions, not guarantees. Also, different patients care for or abuse their teeth in entirely different manners. I've seen dental work last many decades, and other dental work requires replacement in a couple of years.

Some is self-induced, and other cases are situational depending on clenching, grinding, or simple maintenance or lack thereof. Genetics enters the equation. Some families pass on 'good' dental genetics, and others have generations of mouths requiring early and extensive restorative care. My son is living in a big city in Ontario, and now has the Dear Dr. He has some outstanding issues that have developed over the past 6 years in university, but he also wants some cosmetic work too. He is looking at a nearby clinic that advertises branches everywhere.

Would this be his best bet in finding a dentist whose work is guaranteed? President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi to flee the impoverished but strategic country last month.

Western governments and Sunni Arab countries say the Houthis get their arms from Iran. Tehran and the rebels deny that, although the Islamic Republic has provided political and humanitarian support to the Shiite group.

CATANIA, Italy — Prosecutors said Tuesday that they arrested the captain and a crew member of the boat in which as many as people are feared to have drowned in the unremitting waves of migrants seeking to escape from war-torn Libya. Even as the search continued for victims of the weekend disaster, coast guard ships rushed to respond to new distress calls on the high seas — two off Libya and a third boat that ran aground near Greece. Assistant Prosecutor Rocco Liguori said the Tunisian captain and Syrian crew member were arrested aboard the rescue boat that brought 27 survivors from the deadly shipwreck to Sicily.

The two were charged with favouring illegal immigration and the captain was also charged with reckless multiple homicide in relation to the sinking. The EU has been under increasing criticism for lagging in its response to the crisis, with two shipwrecks believed to have taken the lives of as.

Some people are believed to have drowned in another capsizing on April Meanwhile, new details emerged about the weekend disaster, with Italian prosecutors saying hundreds of migrants were locked below deck unable to escape when the rickety boat capsized off the coast of Libya. Salvi said the migrants rushed to one side of the boat as they saw a Portuguese-flagged container vessel approach, with the promise of rescue contributing to the disaster.

Only 24 bodies have been recovered so far and only 27 survivors were rescued. One survivor, identified as a year-old Bangladeshi, has put the number of people on board at as many as , though Salvi said the survivor had no means to verify numbers. He said the coast guard estimated more than people were on board, based on its observations at the scene. Call us for a free consultation.

Since Old Crow is inaccessible by road, the musicians had to fly in from Dawson City, Colette recalled.

This is what the crazy lady inside my head is screaming as I coolly ask Ashley to use her cellphone. My keys are being neurotically fiddled in my hands to avoid her noticing them shaking. This is worse than the damn backpack incident, I think to myself. I get hold of the school. Turns out the poor kid basically walked into his open locker and jabbed his eye with the corner of the metal cabinet door. Upon pickup, Lars seemed fine.

But I was still happy to have him home so I could inspect the damage, which was actually quite miniscule, one of those hurts that you feel more than see I imagine. It makes me wonder if it will always be like this. Will I always be paranoid of the things we as parents cannot control? Wait until I start in on all of the things that keep me up at night when it comes to the wild and untamed Sophie!

Parenting definitely is a stressful. Lindsay Brown is a Sylvan Lake mother of two and freelance columnist. Communication a two-way street Keep in mind, effective communication is always a two-way street. The onus falls on both parties to ensure the time, place, and topic are appropriate for the discussion. To keep the conversation on track, start by establishing clear guidelines or ground rules prior to beginning the dialogue. When respect is demonstrated, respect is often reciprocated. They ask respectful questions that help to unearth new ideas and solutions.

OK, sometimes interrupting might be necessary to redirect the conversation along a more advantageous path but do so judiciously and with respect. Remember, good listeners seek to understand and perhaps challenge assumptions that lie below the surface of most conversations. And use your 20 per cent wisely by asking good questions rather than trying to sway the conversation toward your side of the argument.

Admittedly, it can be challenging to suppress the urge to speak more than to listen but with practise and patience, you can learn to weigh in at exactly the right time.

The friends who listen to us are the ones. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand. In the same way that some people are better writers than others, some people are naturally better listeners. Murray Fuhrer is a self-esteem expert and facilitator.

Bob Waliszewski, Director, Plugged In: So turn off the radio, insist that your kids unplug, and enjoy some old-fashioned conversation. Nothing racy or risque. Nothing glorifying drugs or violence. Nothing hopelessly wallowing in gloom and pain. To facilitate that, make sure they understand the research linking troublesome music lyrics to negative attitudes and behaviors.

This is easy to Google. If they utilize music apps such as Spotify or Pandora, take time to lend an ear to tunes from their various station picks. Finally, talk to them about listening at an appropriate volume level.

And owners can do a similar trick in return, researchers found. This two-way street evidently began when dogs were domesticated long ago, because it helped the two species connect, the Japanese researchers say. The new work is the first to present a biological mechanism for bonding across species, said researcher Larry Young of Emory University.

Neither he nor the Duke scientists were involved in the study, which is reported in a paper from Japan released Thursday by the journal Science. Studies in people and animals indicate this substance promotes social bonding, such as between parent and infant or between two lovers. One experiment in the new research involved 30 owners and their dogs.

Oxytocin levels in the urine of both species were sampled before and after the owners and their dogs spent a half-hour together. Analysis showed that owners whose dogs looked at them longer in the first five minutes had bigger boosts in oxytocin levels. Similarly, dogs that gazed longer got a hormone boost, too.
