Some answers change over time; please take note of the "answered-on" date.Displaying 51 - 100 of 540 questions
A: American Falls Reservoir has a healthy population of smallmouth bass. Spring fishing is the best. Fish rocky shorelines and use plugs, rubber worms or poppers for best results.
A: The 1-fish 28" size limit was just for last steelhead season. Rules and bag limits have reverted back to those posted in the 2013 - 2015 Fishing Rule booklet.
A: There are a number of different governmental entities that maintain and manage public access sites on the Snake River. Some are managed under partnership agreements between Idaho Dept. of Fish and Game and counties or Bureau of Reclamation, others are county owned and operated. We publish a ...
Q: Bow fishing
A: You can only bow hunt for nongame fish (carp, suckers, tench). All you need is a current Idaho fishing license. We have no rules on arrow types, weights or tips. There are also no rules on bows such as let-off or weight. Some previously posted answers might help here, but don't quite answer ...
Q: Fishing
A: I'm not sure we will ever allow fishing for sockeye in Redfish Lake - but I'll bet we have a sockeye season in the Salmon River within the next decade. With our new Springfield hatchery coming on line with a goal of releasing ~1 millon smolts for migration to the ocean, we are confident we can re ...
A: All conservation officers across the state have very large patrol areas. They do the best they can to enforce fishing and hunting regulations. The Department applies more enforcement to Henrys Lake than some other areas because the lake is managed as a trophy fishery. Some conservation officers ...
A: You can only harvest 2 fish per day from Henrys Lake, period. Once you reduce that second fish to your possession - you're done fishing at Henrys Lake until the next day. Even if you eat those two fish, you've reached your daily bag limit of 2 fish and are done fishing. At no time can you ...
A: Hi there. The Bent Rod Outdoors shop (208-879-2500) in Challis is a great source of info for recent fishing reports at some of those lakes. McCoy's Tackle shop (208-774-3377) in Stanley could also probably give you some good reports. Stanley Lake typically gets more pressure in the fall, winter, ...
A: The distribution of fall Chinook salmon in Idaho is very different than that of spring/summer Chinook and steelhead. Fall Chinook are found only in the Snake River downstream of Hells Canyon Dam and the lower portions of the Clearwater River. A few do venture a short distance up the Salmon River ...
A: Fishing from public bridges is allowed unless posted as "closed to pedestrian traffic" by the appropriate regulatory body (Idaho Dept. of Transportation, County Commission order, City Ordinance, etc.). Only the Idaho Fish and Game Commission can designate a public area "open or closed to fishing ...
A: The statutory definition of fishing from Idaho Code 36-202(k) is: "Fishing - any effort made to take, kill, injure, capture, or catch any fish or bullfrog." If what you're doing falls within this definition, and it sounds like it does, then you need to purchase a license and abide by the rules ...
A: No, the quality bass rule only applies to the Lake. The Lowline Canal is a "general rule" limit of 6 bass with a minimum length of 12" Water will be shut-off to the Lowline Canal in just a few weeks. There will probably be a salvage order that allows unlimited harvest of game fish, providing you ...
Q: Carp Fishing
A: We encourage fishing for carp whenever possible. Look at the liberal harvest rules and seasons we have on carp throughout Idaho. We've even posted recipies for preparing carp in various Department publications. In the Sun Valley area, there are a group of avid carp anglers that refer to carp ...
A: Hi everybody, I've been getting bombarded with questions regarding this year's Steelhead runs so I figured it is about time I give you all an update. I've been holding off until I had enough information to give you something meaningful. So here you go. For steelhead there are typically two ...
A: Yes, you can purchase a nonresident hunting/3day fishing license and your bear tag at any vendor location http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/licenses/lookupVendors.cfm, on-line at https://id.outdoorcentral.us/ or via telephone at 1-800-554-8685. We also have general season deer and elk tags that ...
A: Yes, you can fish using a rod, reel and lure/bait while under water. I'm not sure what the advantage would be - but it is legal. We often receive questions about the use of spearguns while diving, to harvest fish. Only nongame fish can be harvested using archery equipment, spears or mechanisms ...
A: Years ago, we used to fish the Bruce Meadows area and had a "ball" catching cutthroat and brook trout. IDFG has never stocked brown trout in this area. What I suspect you caught is a bull trout/brook trout hybrid. They can have the brilliant spots that look similar to a brown trout and have the ...
A: Unless otherwise noted, all streams and lakes are open year-round in Idaho now. The Kootenai River is open all winter, as is the Moyie. Both have some very good trout fishing. There are lots of lakes in the Kootenai drainage as well that offer trout fishing opportunities all year. Smith, ...
A: Thanks for your interest in fishing Island Park Reservoir. We recognize that the fishing quality on that reservoir (like many others) fluctuates from year to year, and have been working to stabilize and improve the fishing up there. Many factors play a role in fishing success, including stocking ...
A: Thanks for your question on the Big Lost River access at the Mine Hill Bridge. We've been dealing with this particular issue for well over a decade, and have been unable to find documentation that there is a highway easement on the private property that encompasses three of the four corners of ...
A: Unfortunately, no. Construction of the new bridge by Idaho Power Company made no provision for fishing access from the bridge. Signs indicating no fishing are posted at both ends of the bridge.
A: Channel catfish adults were transferred to multiple ponds in Southwest Idaho during 2013 and 2014. The lack of 2013 records in the stocking database is an oversight and will be corrected shortly, whereas the 2014 events have yet to be entered. It should be noted that we no longer stock fingerling ...
A: A number of lakes were stocked many years ago with rainbow and cutthroat trout that established natural reproducing populations. When we inventory the fish populations in the lakes, if they are being sustained by natural reproduction, we often discontinue stocking or stock less frequently. Most ...
A: Contests such as fishing derbys, predator derbys or big buck contests are legal in Idaho. Participants are required to follow all rules and laws pertaining to the legal taking of wildlife.
A: Steelhead do run to the Pahsimerio/Challis/Salmon area in the late fall. Typically, we start to receive reports of steelhead being caught in the upper Salmon in late October/early November. Most people fish the lower Salmon River in the fall (October in Riggins is my favorite fishing time) and ...
A: The best way to find out when waters are open to salvage is to watch our press releases on our webpage. We do our best to let people know about rule and bag limit changes (including salvage orders) by sending information as soon as possible when a change order is signed. At the present time, ...
A: Idaho Fish and Game manages all wildlife including game and nongame. The agency's Wildlife Diversity Program publishes information about Watchable Wildlife, here's a link: http://fishandgame.idaho.gov/public/wildlife/nongame/?getPage=239 You can find more information about the program on the ...
A: Our agency only regulates the use of motorized equipment as it pertains to hunting and fishing activities. If you are using your jetski strictly for recreation, then you need to check with the U.S. Forest Service Sawtooth National Recreation Area for restrictions they may have placed on Red Fish ...
A: Carp, suckers, northern pikeminnow, and tench are the primary fish that you can harvest with a speargun. Many people eat carp and pikeminnow, however, they have many small bones so you need to be very careful. I've tried both types of fish, and like any fish you catch in Idaho, the taste depends ...
A: You've done a great job of tracking the hatchery return component of the Chinook run. Here are other items that need to be considered in doing a run reconstruction: Mortality between Lower Granite Dam and the hatcheries - there is mortality due to environmental reasons, predators, diseases, ...
Q: Coho Salmon
A: Your information is correct. We once has significant runs of coho returning to Idaho and spawning in the Clearwater, lower Salmon River, and Snake Basin. As dams were built, populations were lost and it was believed they were extinct in Idaho for several years. The Nez Perce tribal fisheries ...
Q: Catch limits
A: I was in Pocatello at Edison Fichter pond just yesterday. Fishing for rainbow trout was very good and several people had their two-trout limit. Each licensed angler can catch and keep 2 trout. For resident youth under 14 years of age, they can also catch and keep 2 trout. Nonresident youth ...
A: No. Nonresident disabled American veterans with a disability rating of 40 percent or more by Veterans Affairs are eligible for nonresident DAV reduced fees for licenses and tags. The nonresident DAV hunting with 3-day fishing license, $31.75, allows the nonresident disabled veteran to purchase ...
A: Bag limits for Lake Coeur d'Alene are: you can keep 6 rainbow trout (no harvest of cutthroat trout); 6 bass - any size; 25 brook trout; 2 fall Chinook that are at least 20" in length; 15 kokanee; and 25 whitefish. These limits are independent of each other, so you could legally have 79 fish in the ...
A: Ok, nonresident children (under 14 years of age) can fish for free if they are with a licensed adult (resident or nonresident). All fish caught and reduced to possession count towards the licensed individual's daily bag limit. The only exception is, a nonresident youth can buy their own salmon ...
A: No, you don't need a Salmon Permit to fish in Lake Coeur d'Alene for Fall Chinook. The Salmon Permit is only required when fishing for anadromous (ocean-run) salmon. Land-locked salmon are treated like trout in most waters.
Q: tagged fish
A: Thank you for your question and congratulations on catching a tagged fish. If you caught a tagged fish of harvestable size, we hope it was good eating! When you catch a tagged fish, please report the tag using our Tag! You're It! program web page (go to fishandgame.idfg.gov, Fishing tab, Tagging ...
Q: How can I find an alpine cirque lake with a natural (non-human introduced) and native trout population?
A: I hope you're not too disappointed, but there were never fish in the type of lakes you describe. Prior to the beginning of mountain lake stocking in Idaho, headwater barriers and subsurface flows prevented native fish species from reaching upper elevation mountain lakes. In the early 1900's ...
A: We do give away spawned-out salmon carcasses at our hatchery spawning locations - including Pahsimeroi. This practice actually started in the 1970's. We quit giving carcasses away once we started injecting adult salmon with erythomycin phosphate. Now that we've discontinued the injections, we ...
Q: Bowfishing
A: Great question! There are no restrictions on the use of lights while fishing or fishing hours, so the use of some type of spotlight would be allowable while bowfishing. However, "Chumming" is illegal for all species of fish. Idaho Code 36-902(e) states the following: "Unlawful fishing methods ...
A: the Pack River is a navigable water way, so you have full access to the river below the ordinary high water mark. The lower Pack River is public land, so there's plenty of land open to hunting/fishing/recreating.
A: We're talking "apples and oranges" when you mix the total number of Chinook coming over Bonneville Dam and Lower Granite with the angler sport harvest on the South Fork Salmon River. First, lets talk about the numbers of fish coming over the dams. These numbers represent a mixture of fish ...
A: Free Fishing Day only allows a person who can possess a valid license to fish on that day without a license or a salmon permit. All other rules dealing with daily bag and possession limits, gear restrictions, etc. are still in effect. Even though, you weren't required to record the adult salmon ...
A: Fall Chinook have been stocked in Deadwood Reservoir for many years to help control an over-population of kokanee. You typically need down-riggers in the summer to fish at a depth of 20+' with flashy type lures that mimic an injured fish. Call our Nampa Regional Office at 465-8465 and ask for ...
A: Yes, there are no "free-bees." You will need to buy and possess in the field a senior license. If you can prove you've been a resident of Idaho for at least 5 years, it only costs $5.
A: Every 3-years, we go to the public and solicit suggestions for changes to our fishing rules - and that process will begin in January 2015. This will be for new fishing rules that cover the time period of January 1, 2016 through December 30, 2018. Contact the Regional Fisheries Manager in our ...
A: The best thing to use is moline. It's a tough mesh material that holds the tuna (and other secret ingredients). Cut the moline into 3" by 3" squares, lay-in your bait, and gather the four corners. Tie the top of the ball off with thread or a fine string using a couple of half-knots to secure ...
A: Yes they can - but the question is why? Idaho offers some of the best and most diverse year-around fishing in the western United States and our season licenses are one of the best values in outdoor recreation. How about trying a season license and keep track of how many different species of fish ...
A: I'm not going to tell you that lures don't work for catching Chinook salmon - because as soon as I do, the fish prove me wrong. If you are going to use a lure, use one that mimics a predatory fish the Chinook think might be a threat to eat the eggs they are preparing to lay. I would consider an ...
A: Yes, your Idaho Fishing license is good on all water in Bear Lake except areas closed to both Idaho and Utah anglers. We actually have a reciprical agreemeent with Utah for this body of water. Check for signs and additional information. Also, see page 53 of our Idaho Fishing Rules.

I'll be honest the outside looks very nice for the house to be a friggin' triangle. But that whole great room/ dining room is a nightmare! And whats with the random bar? And the uhm….theatre/ family room ma'bob'thingy. My 24 mil would be spent elsewhere.
Newport Beach is always odd in that the houses are somewhat large, on the harbor, and almost right on top of each other. It seems pretty common to have a pool in an interior courtyard, like this one, which means that it won't get a lot of sun a lot of the day. It also means that you may have visitors walking past your hot tub or swimming pool to get to the front door, which is what looks like is happening here (although maybe that's not the main entry door into the courtyard).
With a house in this style, there's a point where you either have to keep going so that the design is almost over the top, or pull it back a little bit to keep it from being tacky. This house reached that point, and then stopped. If the design had been taken further to resemble a Venetian palace, it could have been stunning. It ended up looking mediocre and tacky. The decorative elements in the interior look tacked on instead of fully evolved and integrated into the design.
The price seems typical for a Newport Beach waterfront house.
That's what I was thinking the outside from the back is beautiful especially the back. But the inside is very cookie cutter and tacky. My biggest gripe is the great room: every window is different and they could've left out the two windows right beside the fireplace.
I am not a fan of the same stone flooring used throughout the house. The same-sized square tiles makes me focused on the grout. The kitchen so open to the greatroom is not conducive to entertaining as you would hear and see the caterers. The rear elevation is beautiful.
I pretty much agree with Grrrowler (as I have this past week). The exterior reminds me of something you'd see in The Sanctuary – small lots with homes that eat up every inch of the land no matter how odd the final structure may look. My biggest gripe with the interior is the wood crown moldings and window frames used in almost every room. Enough!
I didn't look at the pictures with great scrutiny, but it seems interesting enough. I dig the crazy shape. I wouldn't personally like living there. But I like it more than some homes in the same genre.
Looks like a set to a Mexican Soap Opera. The style already looks dated to me. I would tear it down and rebuild something modern and clean.

Earnhardt, Hamlin Fail Post-Daytona Qualifying Inspections
BananaStock(DAYTONA, Fl.) -- After qualifying time trials at Daytona International Speedway Sunday, Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Denny Hamlin will have to start at the back of the pack.
Both racers failed post-run inspections and will have to begin their qualifying races in the rear of the field this Thursday.
Earnhardt, Jr. tweeted after he was informed of the results: "Failed post tech after qualifying. 1/8 low left front. That's a shame. The boys will figure out why. Makes the duels a lot more interesting."
Last year's Daytona 500 winner had qualified 10th, before height rulings negated his finish.
As for Hamlin, he is already guaranteed a spot in the Daytona 500. Six drivers are given an automatic berth into the Daytona 500 based on last season's owners point standings; Hamlin finished third.

"Been trying for 13 years," Harvick said. "This week ate me up. If it wasn't for Jimmie Johnson (friend) and Tony Stewart (co-owner of Stewart Haas Racing), I would have been in bad trouble this week. Those guys really helped me get through the week. After every practice, Jimmie was in there, and in our team debriefs Tony was constantly telling me just to go race and that it's just another race."

Harvick Wins at Phoenix, Qualifies for Miami
Jamie Squire/Getty Images(AVONDALE, Ariz.) -- Kevin Harvick dominated the field on Sunday afternoon, winning the Quicken Loans Race for Heroes 500 at Phoenix Motor Speedway and clinching a spot in NASCAR's final round of the new Chase for the Sprint Cup Championship.
"Coming over here and racing this year has given me new life," Harvick said. "It's like a dream. You lay it all out on paper and you say, 'This is what we want to do, and we want to race for wins and championships,' and all of a sudden you're a week away from everything that you talk about and dream about."
Harvick was one of eight drivers still "alive" in the new playoff format entering the race. None of those eight had won a race in the Eliminator Round and earned the automatic berth into the Championship finale. The 38-year-old led 264 of 312 laps and will now have a chance to win his first title after 13 years in NASCAR's premier circuit.
Joining Harvick in the final race of the year at Homestead-Miami International Speedway next week are Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, and Ryan Newman. All four drivers will be seeking their first points championship. The winner of the Sprint Cup Championship will be decided by finishing order next week.
Eliminated from title contention was Jeff Gordon, who finished second, Matt Kenseth, who took third, Brad Keselowski, the fourth-place finisher, and Carl Edwards.

Keselowski: Everyone Has a Shot
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images For NASCAR(NEW YORK) -- The chase for the Sprint Cup title is down to eight drivers headed into Martinsville Speedway on Sunday.
Brad Keselowski had to win last weekend to get into the Eliminator round and found a way to win in the final laps at Talladega. Still, he feels it's anyones game right now.
"Everyone has a strength," Keselowski said of the final drivers remaining. "It really is pretty open to me."
Denny Hamlin, Joey Logano, Kevin Harvick, Ryan Newman, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon and Carl Edwards will join Keselowski.
Hamlin is hoping to continue his run of success at Martinsville. "It's been a great track for us," Hamin said on Tuesday. "No one saw us winning last year, we were running like 15th every week and all of a sudden we went to Homestead, it's hard to pinpoint the favorites and underdogs at this point."
Gordon and his team have had success at every single track in this round, so he's betting on Martinsville.
"This to me is where we're going to shine," Gordon said. "There's such a realistic chance for us to not only win one or a couple of these races coming up, but seriously get ourselves to Homestead with a shot at winning this thing."

Kevin Harvick Wins at Charlotte – Post Race Fight Ensues
Jamie Squire/ Getty Images(CHARLOTTE, NC) -- Kevin Harvick won the second race in the Sprint Cup Contender round at Charlotte Motor Speedway, guaranteeing himself a spot in the Eliminator round.
While Harvick was the winner, former champion Brad Keselowski's championship hopes took a huge blow. Keselowski traded paint with Matt Kenseth and Denny Hamlin under a late yellow flag and the dust up spilled into the pits.
After the race, Hamlin threw a towel at Keselowski. Kenseth, however took things to a personal level. In between the racer's trailers Kenseth charged after Keselowski and put him in a headlock. The two racers traded fists until officials and crew members could restrain the two.
"The race is over -- come back to pit road," Kenseth said of Keselowski "If you want to talk about it like a man, go do that. But if you want to wreck somebody on the racetrack with people standing around, that's just inexcusable."
Hamlin shared a similar sentiment, calling Keselowski desperate to save his title hopes and claiming "He's just out of control."
Keselowski saw things differently, stating that the other two were the instigators.
"I figured, if we're going to play car wars under yellow and after the race, I'll join, too," Keselowski said. "Those guys can dish it out, but they can't take it. I gave it back to them, and now they want to fight."
The final race of the Contender round wraps up next week at Talledega.

Brad Keselowski Wins Pole at New Hampshire
Streeter Lecka/Getty Images For NASCAR(LOUDON, N.H.) -- Brad Keselowski took home the pole on Friday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway and will start up front after winning last weekend at Chicagoland.
Keselowski set a track-record lap of 140.598 mph and is hoping to win the second race in the first round, even though he's already advanced.
"This kind of track is kind of right in my wheelhouse, right in our team's wheelhouse," Keselowski said. "We had this race circled before the Chase started and we felt decent about Chicago, but really felt like this was a race of emphasis for us to get a win and get out of the first bracket."
Keselowski swept the Cup and Nationwide races at Loudon in July.
"It's positive momentum," he said, "but when it resets it resets and nothing that you've done in the past really matters as long as you're eligible for the bracket. I'm a long, long ways from using the word favorite or feeling overly confident."
Jamie McMurray, who is a non-chase driver finished second and was followed by Kevin Harvick, Denny Hamlin, Kyle Busch, and Jimmie Johnson.

Denny Hamlin Wins Pole for Pocono Raceway
Chris Graythen/Getty Images for NASCAR(LONG POND, Pa.) -- Denny Hamlin took home his second pole of the season on Friday after he set the track record at Pocono Raceway.
Hamlin has four career wins at Pocono and already has one Sprint Cup win at Talladega Superspeedway this season.
"Very proud to have that," Hamlin said after winning the pole. "Especially on a race track here where track position is going to be premium."
Hamlin's last pole win came at Bristol and he will be racing for the second time at the newly paved track on Sunday.
"Hope that this race track has aged a little bit," Hamlin said of Pocono. "When it was old and worn out is when we were really good around this race track."
Jimmie Johnson, who was the last person to win three races in a row in 2007, is seeking his third straight victory at a track that crew chief Chad Knaus enjoys.
"This is Chad's favorite race track," Johnson said on Friday. "[Chad] loves the challenge here."

I have an application where I have one figure with nine line plot sub-plots (3x3) and I want to let the user select one of the charts and have a small wx Python application open up to allow editing and zooming on the specified sub-plot.
Is it possible to grab all the information from the selected sub-plot, i.e. axis labels, axis formatting, lines, tick sizes, tick labels, etc and plot it quickly on the canvas of the wx application?
My current solution is too long and bulky, as I just re-do the plot that the user selects. I was thinking something like this, but it doesn't work quite right.
#ax is a dictionary containing each instance of the axis sub-plot
selected_ax = ax[6]
wx_fig = plt.figure(**kwargs)
ax = wx_fig.add_subplots(111)
ax = selected_ax
Is there a way to save the properties from getp(ax) to a variable and use selected properties of that variable with setp(ax) to construct a new chart? I feel this data must be accessible somehow, given how quickly it prints when you call getp(ax), but I can't even get the following code to work on an axis with two y-axes:
label = ax1.yaxis.get_label()
I have a feeling this isn't possible, but I thought I would ask anyways.

World Series scouting report
With Giants, Rangers are evenly matched, pitching will be the difference
Before I get to some scattered thoughts on where these two teams stand, I thought it might be interesting to contrast how they were built, especially how each franchise's recent high draft picks played into their success this year.
Texas Rangers
The Rangers reached the World Series through good drafting, shrewd trading and some solid bargain-basement pickups, but their 25-man roster won't include a single one of their own true first-round picks; the highest draft picks on their American League Championship Series roster were all supplemental-round selections, including Colby Lewis, Tommy Hunter and Julio Borbon.

Kita has been in our family for 12 years, since she was 4 months old. We had both her and her brother, but her brother passed from cancer 5 years ago. She has been a wonderful cat until our son was born 2 years ago. He loves her, but she marks his things to try and dominate. I think she would be happier with a family with grown children or none at all. She's indoor/outdoor and would need access to a safe outdoor environment to get her energy out. She's also a talker, like a Siamese. Whoever adopts her would need to know this ahead of time.

|Animal ID: BAL-059Saphira (female)
Please contact Kerrye (email@example.com) for more information about this pet. Saphira spent several months on the streets, abandoned by the people she loved. Finally, she was able to trust another human, who brought her into their house, fed her and loved her. It has taken her a couple of months to become the loving cat she was in her prior life, but she has come a long way, baby. She loves stretching out in the sunshine - she is a very long-bodied cat. She's a beauty, and deserves another chance at a Forever home. She will be spayed and microchipped prior to placement.

I'm Char, just 7 years young and absolutely gorgeous. I was living in a foster home and did quite well with their two dogs. In my previous home I did not get the attention I needed, there were three cats and a new baby, so my beautiful coat ended up matted and very painful. It was so bad my fur was shaved off. Fortunately it has grown back so I am now pretty again! So now I am back at the shelter from foster care, and everyone assures me that I will someday find a family that will love me forever.

I am Tazz and once, I was a starving, wayward outdoorsman. As an outdoorsman, I m naturally quiet and cautious but once I get to know you, I will warm up in no time at all. I'm a black and gray Tabby-striped male with stylish black tips on my tall, alert ears. For a while I lived in a foster home, where I discovered all kinds of great things about staying indoors, like sitting in laps, getting petted and listening to conversation. These are the best things every invented, in my opinion, and as a 11 year old ex-wandering male who is FIV Positive, it is high time I learned to enjoy such things. A FIV+ diagnosis is not the same as it once ... (Read More)was thought to be. I am healthy and it is a myth that FIV Positive cats can't live long lives in the company of non-FIV cats without transmitting the disease. I believe that sometimes our rainbows come later in life, and when they do, they shine brilliantly. Are you my reward at the end of my rainbow? If you are looking for a gentle soul, you and I have a chance to settle into a wonderful, quiet life together. Please share my story so I might finally find a home. Yours, Tazz.

|PIease Read Before Adopting a Cat in Washington
Cats can make good pets in Washington if they match your IifestyIe. Domestic Cats have been intriguing companions for humans since ancient times. Worldwide, cats are even more popular than dogs as pets. Sadly, huge numbers of cats are in need of adoption and care. A cat owner who no longer wants the cat, or is no longer able to care for a cat, may drop the cat off at a shelter or simply abandon it. Overcrowding in shelters, along with too few adoptive families for the cats, leads to many wonderful pets having to be euthanized. Abandoned cats fend for themselves and breed in the wild, forming colonies of feral cats. Feral cats have such a difficult existence that they typically only live an average of two years, whereas domestic cats can live an average of twelve years with proper care. Organizations exist that can catch and tame feral kittens, and then place them in a home, but adult ferals can rarely be socialized to trust humans. Meanwhile, many prospective cat owners choose to purchase a kitten from a pet store or breeder, and may not know that even purebred cats and kittens are often available for adoption.
Once someone is ready for the responsibility of caring for a cat, adoption can be an incredibly rewarding decision. Adoption benefits cats, owners, and society alike. Adopting a cat is typically much less expensive than purchasing one. Shelters often have a wide selection of very sweet, friendly cats and kittens, including purebreds. Adoptive owners enjoy bonding with their pets, and have the extra satisfaction of knowing they have rescued a wonderful companion from a hard existence. Every cat adopted means one less cat has to be euthanized. Every kitten purchased new results in one less opportunity for adoption to take place. If you are ready for a pet cat, please consider adoption!

Do you match or coordinate your art?
I don't believe art has to be matchy matchy, but I do feel it's best if it somehow coordinates with the space.
I'm planning a kitchen makeover and will be repainting. Currently the walls are BM Olive Branch. My brown counters and flooring have a pink undertone and I plan to better coordinate this room. I'm 99% sure I'm going to go with BM Shaker Beige as it has a slight pink undertone and looks great with browns. My LR is also this color.
However, the art on the main wall of the dining room (our main eat in area) is mostly yellow and orange in color and is going to clash. If it were a small picture on another wall I don't know if it would bug me as much, but it's the main wall. I'll reevaluate when it's all done, but I'm pretty sure the picture will end up in the attic. After we repainted the LR Shaker Beige, one of the floral prints (part of a set) with the golds looked yucky so that one left and I paired the existing print with something else. I've discovered I don't hate the pinky beige/browns anymore as long as I don't ignore it (that's what I've done in the past), but they are limiting.
So what do you do for your home? Does it matter much to you?
Yes and no. I want the art to be shown to its best advantage, but I don't purposefully coordinate.
I move things around and notice how different aspects are highlighted when the background color changes. I also tend to go for contrast. Cool tones walls with warm toned art/frames.
You will know if you like how it looks or not and you might be able to use it in another room.
I don't buy art to match décor, I buy art because I love it. Most of my art has some red/orange in it and you find those colors in my house too. Most of the colors around my house can also be found in the art pieces I have. I can also move my art to any room and it will work. Most of my art is colorful with reds, greens, blues, browns, etc. and most are original oils with texture that are framed with no glass.
Would a different mat and/or frame make a difference so you can keep the art?
I also wanted to say, of course, I think you should love or at least like the art you're using.
Alex - I'd love to use it elsewhere, but the picture is of fruit. Someday when we remodel I may bust it out again.
Chispa - Due to the colors, I don't think that would make a difference.
This post was edited by sheesharee on Sat, Mar 8, 14 at 17:01
Unless you want something different, wait until you've painted to decide. You might see any pinks and reds highlighted enough that the oranges and yellows won't clash like you think. The dark background of the painting will also help separate the wall color and fruits.
I know you like to have things figured out. Did you look at the painting in your living room? Just to get an idea of how the two play together?
I think it has to coordinate to a degree in color and style....I wouldn't put an old master in a heavy guilded frame in a pink, frilly nursery and I wouldn't put an abstract in reds and oranges in a colonial blue room with traditional furniture.
As hollysprings said "If you have to ''match'', it's not art. It's decor." If matching is a concern for you, you must look for appropriate wall decor or you will not be satisfied with the result.
When I buy original art I don't ever think about whether it 'matches' anything. It has to create an emotion and be something that makes a real impression on me. I do believe tho that I am not attracted to art or wall decor that is completely discordant with my esthetic or decor.
Not all my art works in every room of my house. Some of the landscapes in my LR and hallway are dark and very traditional and would not work at all in my cottage bedrooms with paler colors where floral prints are very appropriate. And the floral prints with white frames would not be something I'd ever use in the LR. When I buy wall decor I look for colors and a subject that will work in a specific place.
Since purchasing art can be expensive there are times I've often admired paintings but not bought them. However, when I cannot get them out of my mind I return to the gallery and hope they have not sold! I've missed a few that way but better than to buy impulsively and regret it.
I have a similar fruit picture and it goes with just about everything.
To answer your question, I never buy art to match the house. You'd be surprised how you can hang a piece of art and not have it match the room, then pick a prominent color in the art and accessorize the room with it. I did that in my DR and kitchen not too long ago.
Alex - Yes, I do. :) I did try it in the LR and didnâÂÂt care for it, but the lighting and furnishings are different. IâÂÂm hoping it does still work when itâÂÂs all done. IâÂÂve never loved the plates beside it. I like the plates, but just donâÂÂt think they work right with the picture. I think the picture looks lost on the wall by itself though so I never changed it. I'd like to figure something else out if the picture ends up staying.
I was excited to put up a set of botanicals, but realized IâÂÂm not going to like another grouping of frames because you can see this wonderful set from the same view.
And these certainly donâÂÂt coordinate with a thing in my house, but theyâÂÂre the most important pieces of art I own.
ItâÂÂll fall into place. I felt like being chatty about this topic and wondered what others did regarding art.
Way back, when you were working on that wall, I think I posted a pic from Christi Carter's "Art of Accessorizing". It was a wall arrangement over a sofa, but working from a center point and arranging various pairs around it.
You might see if your library has a copy. It could help you finalize what you'd like to see.
I think you can have it both ways. I definitely think there are some pieces of art that will not work with a room's decor. And it's kind of like it's "not fair" to the art, because it is not shown to it's best advantage. I think if you look - and it may take some time - you will find something you truly love that also works with your decor. I don't see anything wrong with that.
As our colors have changed over the years, there have been some pieces of art that we have not used at times. I have a beautiful Robert Tino (local artist) that is now hanging in my work office. It would totally clash with our rooms now. There are some pieces we have that have been rotated to different rooms or are not in use at this time. Not so much because we tend to use different kinds of "art" on our walls that just paintings.
Alex - I have that book, but it's been a long time since I've flipped through it. I'll dig it out in a bit.
Tina - I've rotated and moved art around too. Everything seems to have worked itself out to what feels right. I'm pleased with the art we have throughout the house except for the arrangement on the DR wall.
I might add a chair rail while I'm making changes.
All my art and every piece I choose has a common theme. When I look around my home some of the themes repeated in the visible space are circles, squares, neutral colors, clean lines, subtle ocean/water objects. Then I use some of the common themes to transition to spaces off the main part of our home. It's the subtle repetition in a space that keeps things looking coherent. Things don't have to match so much as have common elements that contribute to the larger feel of the room.

deee posted a link to this apartment earlier in the week. It belongs to Dick Button
All the art in this hallway is related to ice skating, but it is not related in period, style, quality or to the room decor but I still think it is very effective:
Deleted - I posted a picture of different art beside the fruit pic, but changed my mind.
Ineffablespace - Thanks for posting that picture!
I've been quite smitten with this piece of art for a while now. I find it sophisticated looking without being so dark and love the muted colors. Maybe I'll bite the bullet when the time comes.
This post was edited by sheesharee on Sat, Mar 8, 14 at 23:22
I am from the camp that does not feel you have to match art to your décor. More interest is added when it doesn't. These are lithographs of artists we enjoy. Across from the LR is a Georgia O'Keefe with oranges that are not anywhere. Yet it all works. I know I have to replace the chandy and add more art to the DR. It's a work in slow progress. Hope you get what I am trying to show.
Like Chispa, I'm drawn to certain colors. Also drawn to certain scenes and topics, so it kind of all goes together in some way and "coordinates." I'm sure it's boring to others - mostly soothing neutrals with a bits of more intense color here & there, but I like it. :-)
I totally picked the fabric for my sofa because it's exactly the same shade of aqua that's used for the sky in my favorite painting. So, yeah, my art matches my sofa, but the art came first. I have a thing for aqua anyway, so it was kind of a given that I'd be drawn to a painting that used lots of it, then get a sofa that matches it.
The art I pick tends to have one of three things in common: city scenes, landscapes with lots of emphasis on the sky (cloudscapes?) or birds. There are a couple of other pieces that don't fit in these categories, but mostly those were gifts from people I love. Oh, and one painting of a bug my husband picked out, which is gross. But he loves it and I love him, so I love it.

restoring the gloss on a oak vineer table top
HKD10July 31, 2012
I have a very large dining room table with 3 leaves. The wood is birch but has oak vineer over the wood to give it the look of oak grain. On top of that it has a thick layer of polyurathene and over the years the poly has gotten dull with some scratches and stains. I have tried to clean it but cannot seem to get the gloss back that it had when purchased. What can I do to restore this gloss without having to sand this down as the vineer is very thin and would be easily ruined if sanded. Is there something that can go over the existing poly to bring back the gloss?
Are you absolutely sure that it's polyurethane? Poly is rarely used in production furniture, it's almost exclusively a DIY product. 99% of factory furniture is lacquered.

Daniel Castro contributed a chapter titled "U.S. Federal Cybersecurity Policy" in the book "Cybersecurity: Public Sector Threats and Responses."
Rob Atkinson contributed a chapter titled chapter "Who's Who in Internet Politics" for the book "The Next Digital Decade: Essays on the Future of the Internet."
Supply-Side Follies: Why Conservative Economics Fails, Liberal Economics Falters, and Innovation Economics is the Answer
Supply-Side Follies methodically debunks the common assumptions of conservative economics and demonstrates why it is a flawed doctrine that is setting up the U.S. for a major economic downturn in the near future.
Taking into account the historical record, the book discusses the shortcomings of prevailing liberal and conservative economic doctrines and lays out a new growth economics agenda aimed at maximizing the productivity and innovation-enhancing forces of the New Economy.
