Play Me: "Empty Faction" by Cult of Youth
The line between being provocative and a tasteless asshole can be a thin one.

6 Personal best practices for content creation success

Between my podcasting compadre Tom Webster and myself, we have written six books, more than 2,000 blog posts, recorded about 500 podcasts, posted more than 80,000 tweets, 4,000 Facebook posts, and 200 videos. Together, we give about 75 speeches a year and participate in dozens of webinars, panel discussions, classes and hangouts. In 2012, Tom even recorded a solo album of Swamp Blues Favorites.**
In other words, we have been around the content creating block a time or two. We have made mistakes. We have had some glorious victories. But at every turn we learned, experimented, and became more effective marketers.

5 Proven tips to help with your blogging confidence
Dec 15th
If you have been following this blog for a while you know that I have been creating a series of fun and colorful Slideshare presentations from some of my most popular content.
I've teamed up with my friend Sarah Mason to breathe new life into some vital ideas from my blog archive and I think this one is perhaps our best work yet.
It's fun, entertaining, and an educational look at blogging confidence. Take a look at this presentation and if you enjoy the enormous amount of care and work we put into this, can you please pay it forward with a share to your favorite social network? Thanks!
On the web, there are no neutral corners
Dec 12th
Sometimes I feel disheartened by the back-stabbing, invective, toxicity, and rumor-mongering I see among fellow bloggers.
Of course this is not a "blogger problem." It is a human problem. Anger, pettiness, jealousy … all this stuff has been there forever. It simply gets amplified by the web. An October study by Pew showed that 40 percent of online adults have experienced some form of online hate or harassment. We have turned avery good thing into a cesspool.
When we engage with people on social media, every single interaction is an opportunity to lift people up or put them down.
There are no neutral corners.
If you are a person who lives to take people down, it will eventually lead to distrust, even among those you believe to be allies. And that whole toxic drama scene just seems exhausting to me. Why do this, my friends?
If you want to be seen as a leader, then lead. Don't be a person who enables pettiness and hate. Leaders dispense hope.
We are in a big, big world. There is room for everybody to succeed. There is room for diversity, difference, and disagreement without feeling threatened.
This is traditionally a time when we reflect and consider what the New Year will bring. I urge you to make the choice to be a leader and lift people up. There are no neutral corners.
Thanks for listening. You may continue with your regularly scheduled programming.

Hard lessons agency customers need to learn about social media marketing
Dec 11th
By Leah Schultz, {grow} Community Member
Four and a half years ago I was hired into an agency that needed help outlining social media solutions for its customers. So I did that. The experience was like getting a root canal every day.
I worked tirelessly with my VP to design "robust turnkey social media solutions." But no one bought them. For about a year I prepared countless pitches, proposals, and webinars for our agency customers … who bought almost nothing.
Some of our most important agency customers were in the transportation industry. At first these seasoned trucking executives did not understand why I was trying to get them to spend money on Facebook … and blogging? It seemed more likely they would sign up for a manned mission to Mars.
These were smart clients with million dollar advertising budgets. Why couldn't they understand social media?
Resistance and misunderstanding
I refer to this period fondly as the era of resistance. Many of our agency customers were still spending a significant portion of their budget on newspapers and magazines (often as much as 75%!). Their denial is slowly morphing into a new Era of Misunderstanding. Despite the fact that social media is now a fairly mature channel, the speed of change seems to breed confusion.
The answer is patience and education. We are finally selling social media services easier than we ever have before. However, we often still encounter one big hurdle with some decision makers: they are lying to themselves with preconceived ideas about what social media is or isn't. My guess is that you've run across these same lies with your own clients or when trying to convince your executive management?
The six social media lies
1. It's free.
While it's true that it may cost nothing to set up a Facebook page, Twitter account or YouTube channel, the real price of social media is often mis-judged. Costs include a knowledgeable team, software, paid efforts, and most importantly: time to develop a strategic plan. My friend Laura Click of Blue Kite Marketing wrote a fab post outlining the problem with cheap social media marketing. Isn't your brand worth more than a cheap or free strategy?
2. Nobody has time for this.
I hate this excuse more than anything. We are all busy. But you know what? Everyone has the same hours in a day as Beyoncé or Barack Obama. And I can guarantee you that they are both busier than you or me. You make the time for what is important to you. Or, you hire someone who can devote the time. If you are a one-man band trying to do social media on your own, try setting a certain amount of time every day. Even starting out small with 15 minutes per day is a good place to begin.
3. I can't track it.
Yep, I still have clients telling me that social media can't be measured. My response is to ask them how well their newspaper, radio, or tradeshow tracking is going for them. Often they have no clue. Every marketing activity should be measured. The real problem with social media tracking is that it's almost too good. There is so much data available that it can be hard to know what KPIs to track.
If I can, I like to track the same metrics across all media to compare. Apples to apples, if you will. For example, my clients care about leads. So, I show them reporting with metrics around volume of leads and cost per lead. When I can prove a cost per lead that crushers traditional media and rivals PPC or digital retargeting, their tune often changes.
4. It doesn't drive sales/conversions.
Using social media to drive conversions requires 1) well-defined goals and 2) use of technical devices. Start with being purposeful. Set clear objectives and deploy explicit calls to action. If you want to produce conversions, you have to have the right technical pieces in place to track success. This includes techniques like campaign tracking links, tags, pixels, etc.
Fortunately many platforms have analytics built into the back end to help with this. Get yourself familiar with Google Analytics, Facebook Insights/Power Editor/Ad Manager, Twitter Analytics and others. Use the data to test and adjust your strategy. If it doesn't move the needle, it doesn't make sense!
5. I don't know how to do it.
That's OK. You have two options: learn or hire someone who does know what they are doing. What's not an option is just ignoring it and hoping it will go away. Your competitors will be leaving you in the dust.
6. People just want to complain.
This is driven by fear. Social media skeptics are afraid that being present will open up the floodgates for complaints. The truth is that your business will receive complaints, compliments and everything in between from customers, regardless of if you are on social media or not. Having a brand-owned channel just allows for it to happen publicly in your own backyard. This is a great opportunity! Embrace the positive and use the negatives as a chance to improve and deliver a good customer service experience.
Many of these questions are also addressed in Mark Schaefer's book Social Media Explained, which is an excellent way to get customers up to speed fast. Hand those things out!

Manufacturer: Dixieland Gaited Saddle (View all products by Dixieland Gaited Saddles)
Model: Custom Fit Trail (View all Custom Fit Trail Saddle reviews)
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I called Dixieland after hearing about their forms they use to achieve a great fitting saddle. It's just too hard and expensive to "mail order" a saddle and hope it fits. We picked the best fitting form, called Dixieland, and Cynthia was such a great help going thru the ordering process. I paid just under $1000.
Likes: I love the fact that it's light weight for a leather saddle. It fits my horse nicely and looks awesome! It has a very comfy deep seat and does allow for better gaiting with proper shoulder flare.
Dislikes: The only surprises were I ordered extra padding. I felt there could have been more. I was coming off an Orthoflex so you can see what I mean! Not a big problem just something I would notice. The only real problem I had was I feel the seat sizes run small. The cantle is 5". The rise of the cantle seems to eat up some seat room and I feel my 16" seat is a more true size 15.5".
Quality: The quality of leather is first rate. You can just look at the detail in the saddle and tell it's made with quality and care. The leather is smooth and supple, no hide marks or scars.
Summary: Would I buy another one? You bet. I'd just order it a size bigger. I can't stress enough how great it was to find a lighter weight leather saddle.

The Search is Over! Meet the Howler Privateers
Posted on June 5, 2015
The search is over. Thank you!
Meet the Crew
What's to come, stay tuned.
Meet Patrick Duke: Howler Ambassador
Posted on May 12, 2015
Patrick Duke is a renaissance outdoorsman who embodies the "heed the call" scripture we preach here at Howler Brothers. He's a fly fishing guide and super talented oil painter who draws inspiration from the natural world around him in Crested Butte and the Gunnison Valley of Colorado, or wherever he happens to find himself. We took a pilgrimage with Patrick and his fellow Howler brand ambassador Kameron Brown down to Mexico to adventure about and shoot pictures of our Spring Howler line and recent collaboration with Smith Optics. Recently, we reconnected with Patrick and asked him a few tough questions...
So, any trouble transitioning from the warm climes of Mexico back to Colorado?
Always... From Kay's margaritas at the Palometa Club to ice scrapers and shovels is always a tough one. The worst part is sticking the salt gear in the back of the closet and not knowing when you get to pull it out again. On the upside, in 48 hours I went from casting to permit on the flats to riding pow on Crested Butte Mountain.
Any sleepless nights resulting from your encounters with permit down at the Palmetto Club?
No, I've accepted that permit are all assholes and when I finally do stick one of those donkey lipped f#$kers I'm going to poke it in his big eye and tell him to warn his fork-tailed friends... Seriously though, if I ever have a permit dream I'd probably wake my girlfriend up mumbling every combination of swear words I know. My buddy and I call it permit Tourettes. I did have some unforgettable shots that are on repeat in my head and thats good enough for now...
In your professional opinion, what is wrong with Kameron Brown?
Ha! Everything.... At the moment his two wheel drive camper van is stuck on three wheels because I talked him into fishing the black Canyon on his cross country road tripper. My Bad Kam.... For real though, everyone needs a little Vitamin K in their life. He is the quintessential Cali brah who wakes up everyday oozing grom like stoke and curiosity about the what, where and why especially if it involves a surfboard or a fly rod. And his stoke is genuine and infectious. His road trip, just him, his dog and his van full of surf sticks and buggy whips explains it all. His next stop is Montana. Beware, Trout and women alike, Vitamin K is on his way. (we do need to sharpen up his lady skills though, I don't think he met that ambassador pre-req...)
Your artwork is spectacular and reminiscent of the old guard of western oil painters. Who are your big influences in that arena?
Wow, much appreciated. As a Contemporary Realist I have several current and historic legends to look up to. The more known and historic being John Segar Sargent, who could paint an arm and a hand in just a few precise brush strokes. Edgar Pane who was focused on landscape and could truly capture not only the landscape but also the air between viewer and land. Then there are the current crushers of the landscape world, Scott Christensen, Clive Aspevig and up-and-comer Joshua Bean. These guys are insane and constantly pushing the levels of realist landscape.
At what point did you think you had what it took to give it a go as a professional artist?
Hard to say, even as a kid I just knew that was what I was good at and that was what I had to do. As you grow and mature and realize how the "real" world works though it makes committing to such a lofty career a little more intimidating. Even most artists in the educational system are ingrained with the notion that being an art teacher is the best rout for an "Artist". I guess it wasn't until after college I decided I was going to put the snowboard and fly-rod down, at least a little bit, and fully commit to this. The suit and tie behind a desk route was out of the question a long time ago. It wasn't that I thought I was good enough but more so I thought if I put everything into it I could get there. I'm still getting there, but the sales are always the best reward for progress.
The Colorado trout season is creeping up, what is Patrick Duke doing right now to get prepared?
Mental training. Every morning after breakfast my girlfriend runs me through a few questions or comments that I have to respectfully respond to:
This time of year is no "off-season". I'm currently juggling a lot: booking clients for the summer and explaining to people why my July is already booked, putting together a new boat (kind of obsessed with boats - is 4 to many?..), packing for a bonefish trip in 3 days, tying tarpon flies for the Keys, trying to get ahead and crank out paintings for the summer season, and meanwhile keep a good fish count on my local tailwater that seams to always pop a 30-incher out this time of year. Other than that just chillin'...
IPA, Rainier, Fireball, Chardonnay, Single Malt. Pick 2.
Everyone is trying to "out hops" each other.. IPA R.I.P. Rainier seems to be the North West equivalent to PBR, maybe slightly better and all though I haven't had the privilege to taste Rainier on the way in AND the way out I'm sure its all the same. Funny how there is nothing better than ice cold PBR and nothing worst than back of the truck "look what I found under the seat!" PBR. Fireball is always part of a recipe for a great night and a terrible morning. But I do have a bottle rolling around in my boat cooler right now... Chardonnay is for guys wearing world wide sportsman fishing shirts who only cast Winstons, and thirsting cougars. More of a Malbec guy myself (of course, badass trout live in Argentina, too). Single Malt, now were talking. Whisky, scotch, warm, cold, morning, night. I'm in.
Foreigner, Beck, Buck Owens, Kendrick Lamar, Peter Tosh. Pick 2.
Shoot, I dig all of those. Just hit shuffle and let it rip.
Howler Brothers, Ed Hardy, Magellan, Members Only, Guess, Hugo Boss. Pick 1.
Is this a trick question? I feel like this is a trick question....
Ed Hardy, jeez.. Nothing says "I love crappy tattoos" like sporting shirts with images of crappy tattoos.
Bah ha ha, Magellan?! "Does this vest make me look like I'm on a safari right now?" I do have my passport..... in one of these thousands of pockets.
Members Only, still pretty fresh.. But I still don't understand that strappy neck thing. What is that?!
Guess...... nope
Hugo Boss... hard to row a boat in suit jacket but I do enjoy looking like a BOSS on occasion.
Howler Brothers is the easy pick. Thank you again fellas for cracking the code between great looking clothes and fishing attire and breathing some style back into this industry. I've been avoiding the "guide shirts" and zip off cargo pants that have been plaguing this industry for years. When I found Howler, it was a no brainer.

Join the Howler Privateer Summer 2015 Crew
Posted on May 7, 2015
Are you looking for something to do this Summer that will take you coast to coast, let you fish, swim, surf, hang out with friends new and old, shoot photos and video and fly your Howler flag high? Well, you're in luck, because we are looking for two such souls to come on board for the Summer as the inaugural Howler Privateers. You'll get to spend some time at Howler HQ in Austin, TX and then set sail in our deluxe Howler van visiting our retailers, running pop up shops, assisting at trade shows and heeding the call at various ports of call. You'll get paid (a little) and learn (a lot). Half of it is work but you won't notice because it will all be fun and an adventure.
Think this is for you? Want to know more? Then, consider these points below :
- We are looking for two people. Applicants MUST apply in pairs, know each other and have a history of getting along while spending time together in small spaces like vans and hotel rooms.
- Both applicants must have a valid driver's license with a strong driving record and background. We are going to run all of these screens so please consider this before jumping in.
- You must be available and free to travel from June 15 – August 15. We know everyone has things going on so we will do our best to accommodate your trip back home to go to Cousin Lanny's third wedding. BUT, generally, you must commit for this entire time period.
- We want self-starters and hard workers. This is FAR from a typical Summer gig at some investment firm, but you will not always have someone from Howler accompanying you, getting you out of bed and giving you instruction. You will often be in charge of moving from place to place, creating your own agenda and generating creative content from your adventures.
- We love people who are handy with cameras and video cameras and that are generally savvy on things like Go-Pro cameras, video editing, social media and the written word. We also like capable people who can do things like tie knots, change tires, sketch, hang banners, "skin a buck and run a trot line" and get barreled.
- We want professional and responsible people. You will represent Howler Bros. at events and trade shows, sell our goods, handle money and drive a van with Howler Bros. emblazoned on the side. Most of this will be fun but this is no boondoggle.
- This is great way to build a creative resume of video, social media and digital content.
Still interested? If so, find your running mate, and EACH fill out the questionnaire linked below and submit no later than May 20th.

Meet Kameron Brown: Howler Ambassador
Posted on December 9, 2014
photo credit: Hunter Cole
Our newest brand ambassador, Kameron Brown, is cut from the same cloth as us. He loves surfing above all but fills his days heeding the call of everything from elk hunting to fly fishing. On a given day, you can find Kameron in his native California working hard and playing harder. We caught up with him recently to see what makes him tick.
So, Kameron, before we get started, what do you see immediately to your right?
An alaia I made with Tom Wegener in Australia and my fly tying station.
And to your left?
A cup of yerba mate...... and some laundry I wish would magically fold itself.
Ok, Good. We just caught a video of you enjoying some of our tanker surf here in Texas. Tell us about that experience and how that came about.
What a trip that was! That particular time was my first visit to Texas..... and most definitely wasn't going to be my last! I had my first experiences with some of the best BBQ I've ever had, a honey chicken biscuit from What-a-burger, a wide variety of landscapes from barren ranches to sky high executive buildings, and most importantly..... tanker shipping canals. When we pulled up to this spot, I couldn't imagine anything of what my Texas buddies were explaining. A 10 minute long wave that pops up out in the middle of no where. I've heard and seen some serious waves in Galveston formed by tankers but unfortunately didn't make it there this trip. I was staying near Corpus Christi at the time so we decided to try out a place near Port A. I'd say about 5 tankers passed by during the time we were getting our boards off the car and waxed up but unfortunately.... didn't see this magical 'wave' they were speaking of. Thankfully a buddy of mine has the hook ups and personally knows a tanker captain that navigates these canals. My buddy gets a call and moments after he hangs up the phone, he starts frantically telling us to get in the water.... "Here it comes!" The weight of the tanker ship is most important along with tides and travel speed. You'll see in the video that Morgan knows exactly what the wave is going to do..... Im sitting there absolutely lost thinking to myself, "How is a wave just going to pop up out of nowhere.....". Sure enough, a little A-frame nugget comes rolling down the edges of the canal. Fortunately, all my buddies and myself caught the wave. Yes it was a small wave but yes, I've never done anything like that before. After 5 minutes our legs started to burn! Who would have thought you'd get tired of riding a wave! We must have surfed at least a mile down the canal... and the best part about it all.... was the paddle back! [watch video here]
As a brand with a presence in both surfing and fly fishing, we find a lot of fly fisherman who like to surf but not necessarily the other way around. How did you come to start fly fishing?
Long story longer, I was raised by my adventurous father who got me into fishing when I was just a little grom. Overnight tuna trips out of San Diego, 3/4 day trips for calicos out of Dana Point, giant squid night fishing in our zodiac, 100+ dorado days on our Luhrs just in sight of Catalina. All fish were caught on a standard conventional rod and reel. I absolutely loved it and was hooked from the first day. I owe a lot of my talents and interest in different hobbies to my father. As a kid, I never gave much thought into the concept of fly fishing. I didn't know anyone who fly fished, my father never used a fly rod, and so that motto comes to mind "out of sight, out of mind". I just never came about it. It wasn't until I met my great friend Bobby that my eyes were opened to fly fishing. He taught me to cast in the park, once I got that down he took me to a tiny pond in San Juan Capistrano where I caught my first fish on the fly (4" long green bass), and right after I landed that fish..... I was addicted. Literally, it was all I thought about. Bought my first fly tying vice along with a few materials and was tying foam beetles and experimenting with chartreuse chenille creating the ugliest 'things' ever. I knew I loved fly fishing and everything about it but it wasn't until I used a fly, that I tied, to catch a fish. Talk about feeling accomplished. Been fly fishing ever sense and pretty much forgot about conventional fishing. But don't get me wrong..... there will always be room in my heart for conventional gear.
Do you find any similarities between the sports?
Yes. Dedication, discipline, research, practice practice practice. Cool thing about most all my hobbies is that they take me to the most beautiful places the world has to offer. From Australia's east coat surfing hurricane swells to 11,000 feet up in the Sierras fishing glacier fed waters.
Fast and steep or long and carving?
I respect both aspects of surfing. Getting absolutely barreled off your head in the Mentawai Islands is something i'll never get enough of but there's just something about a stomach high peeler where you can trim your life away and clock in some serious tip time.

Motorhead or Grateful Dead ?
Grateful Dead
IPA or tequila ?
Surfing with your bros or hunting alone?
Couldn't say I enjoy one more than the other. Surfing with your bros is filled with excitement, wave sharing, story telling and is so refreshing after a long day working. Hunting alone is my time to get in touch with nature and reality. Helps me understand where I come from as a human and being in these wild places is a real eye opener for quality of life especially when you drive hours or days back home to a concrete jungle where you reside.
If you could script the perfect day for Kameron Brown, how would it go?
Going to bed at 8:30 and waking up before the sun rises, fresh pot of yerba mate brewing, cruising in the van towing my boat to the launch ramp, fly rods ready, hooked up to a yellowtail before 8 am. Peanut butter and jelly sandwich breakfast washed down with an ice-cold beer, buzzing drag singing louder than my 2 stroke outboard, peter tosh blasting through the speakers, sun warming the brisk morning, another beer! Few fish in the cooler, full throttle, full belly, burnt nose, and back to the harbor just around noon. Back to my abode in SJC for some elk burgers and home grown veggies accompanied with a giant pile of rice, fishing stuff put away, surfboards replacing rods, van smells of wetsuits, bumping down the dusty 'ol road at San Onofre. Shakas thrown, ten toes over, smiles for miles. Fire wood, marshmallows, sandy feet, guitars strumming, story telling, ice-cold man sodas for all. Best part of it all........ bed at 8:30... do it all over again the next day.
Even though there are plenty of surf brands in California, you chose us – an inland Texas brand to rep. What drew you to Howler Brothers? (Shameless promotion section).
Howler Brothers speaks my language. There aren't many brands focusing on fly fishing and surfing. They are exactly what I am about. Everything from the quality of their threads to the people representing and running the company. I feel their love for life, their love for the brand, and most importantly, their addiction to adventure. Their clothes were not only inspired by surfers and fisherman but also tested by them. All of their gear helps me endure everything my hobbies throw at me. Breathable long sleeves for fishing those blazing hot days, insulated jackets for those icy mornings crawling out of my tent, and everything in between. Honored to be a part of the family and am excited to see what the future holds with Howler Brothers and myself.

The Best Places to Get Barreled, According to Gerry Lopez and the Hobgood Bros.
Posted on October 31, 2014
We have teamed up with our friends at The Inertia to bring you the "Call of the Wild"—a monthly series of editorial features that covers every aspect of heeding the call.
Getting barreled is the holy grail of surfing. Of course, any wave is a good wave, but watching that lip sneak over your head and realizing that yes, there is a light at the end of the tunnel is something beyond compare.
This is not an easy thing to do. Getting a proper barrel takes a lot of time in the water. Photo: Brad Masters
A few days ago, I was surfing at my regular spot. One of the most familiar faces out there is an older lady, probably around 70. She wears two wetsuits – a john and a regular one underneath it – and a cap with a long braid falling out the back. She rides a body board with little fins on it, and she is, without a doubt, the most stoked person I've ever met. She has zero concern for what anyone thinks about her, and every wave she kicks onto looks like the most fun thing that's ever happened to her. On this particular day, I was paddling back out, and because she was on a body board, she snuck into a mini-barrel – more of a head dip, but still, it counted. I whistled at her as she hooted her way out. "That was a good one!" I exclaimed. She smiled at me. "MORE!" was all she could say. "MORE!"
Getting a really good barrel is hard. It can take years of surfing, and sometimes, it just never happens. It's one of those endless searches – even if you manage to find a good one, it just fuels your passion for the next. It's exhausting, really. It's a treadmill, only way more fun. With that in mind, I wrote a few emails to some of the best surfers in the world. These guys have been barreled so much, they should be sick of it. They are not sick of it. I asked them a question: where is the easiest place in the world to get barreled?
The first to get back to me was CJ Hobgood, owner of a 2001 World Championship Cup (which he's not entirely comfortable with… you'll have to watch the documentary when it comes out). "Definitely Macaroni's," he wrote. "That ledge is a friendly drop, and the wave does relatively the same thing." As with anything, repetition is necessary for learning. There's something called the 10,000 hour rule, which Malcolm Gladwell says is the time it takes to master something. If you've spent 10,000 getting barreled, you're probably the best barrel rider on earth. "At first, that's what makes it fun," CJ continued, "but then you kind of get over the wave because your surfing can become scripted." While getting over a wave as perfect as Macaronis might be the best problem I've ever heard, CJ does have a point – surfing's fluidity is one of the best parts about it, and no one likes being stuck in a rut, even if it's a watery, super fun one.
The next person to get back to me was CJ's brother, Damien. Damien's not a tour guy anymore, and he's been using his newfound free time to do exactly what he was doing on tour: surf. But he's surfing on his own time now, where and when he wants, picking and choosing his trips. He's been branching into bigger waves lately, too, with a paddle session at Jaws last winter and a handful of some of the most incredible video clips I've seen in a long time. "I'd also say a south swell at Chopes and P-Pass," Damo added in a reply, "but west and small is pretty hard at Chopes." Speaking from a totally average regular footer's point of view, Teahupoo was not on my list of possible answers to the question. When I think of Tahiti's most famous wave, I think of thick, backless beasts, ones that fold over the sharpest and shallowest of reefs – I think of the Millenium Wave, to be perfectly honest, and I want nothing to do with it. But on further reflection, while it's not common to see images of regular ol' Teahupoo, I have seen a few. It looks fun, so maybe Damo's right. I do have one small worry, though: if anyone remembers Keala Kennelly's horrific facial injury at Teahupoo, you'll know what I'm talking about. It was on a totally average day. And Keala is one of the best surfers in the world.
Of course, when you're talking about barrels, one wave comes to mind: Pipeline. And when you're talking about Pipeline, one name comes to mind: Gerry Lopez. So I wrote Mr. Pipeline himself a quick note to get his thoughts on it. His response was brief, but helpful. "Nothing easy about getting barreled," he answered. "But if you have the desire and the skill set," Gerry continued, "Pipeline, Teahupoo, G-Land, Lance's Right, and Scar Reef."
Gerry's answer, I suppose, is indicative of something. I asked the wrong question, and he called me on it. There is no easy place to get barreled, because getting barreled is hard. And that's what makes it worth chasing.

Howler X Cityboy: The El Gallo Buckle
Posted on October 16, 2014
The El Gallo Buckle is our latest collaborative creation with anvil master Wes Groot at Cityboy Forge. After the overwhelming popularity of the rooster on our Gaucho Snapshirt, we were dying to get this gallo hammered into metal. As with all Cityboy buckles, this one is highly customizable on the back with words of wisdom, geographic coordinates, girlfriend's names, battle cries, or whatever else you want (within reason). Claim one of these buckles for yourself here and now.
We are sure that many of you seen our previous buckle collaborations with Wes Groot and Cityboy Forge: the classic Howler Monkey, the Jolly Roger, and the Coordinates Buckle. All of these are evidence of just how much we love what Wes and Co. do at the Forge. Wes is an artisan who manipulates the elements into heirloom quality, wearable art. To do this he uses old school techniques like hammering, weaving, forge-pressing and repoussé, a process where sheet metal is manipulated to create three-dimensional designs. Like us, Wes is driven by creativity, ideas, and the desire to keep making original things that reflect his personality and that of his customers. On top of that, he's just a good dude. Watch Wes' craft and process in the video below and check out more on the Cityboy Forge website.
Montana Pilgrimage
Posted on October 1, 2014
Four of us hit the road last week to mix it up with friends new and old in the Treasure State of Montana. It's hard not to love Montana any time of year but September is a particularly awesome month in the land of oro y plata with warm days, cool nights and a palatable sense of the coming Winter. Every piece of equipment in the state is working to put up hay and, most importantly for this trip, the trout are looking upwards in search of protein.
The main reason we made the voyage was to "compete" in a fly fishing event at the famed Bar Z Riverside Ranch in support of Casting 4 A Cure, a charity dedicated to curing Rett Syndrome. Rett Syndrome is a neurological disorder that impacts young girls. Like many others, we became aware of its impact through C4C founder, Bill Farnum, whose daughter has Rett. Anyone who has spent even 30 seconds with Bill can vouch for the fact that he is one of the coolest and most benevolent dudes around, and it is awesome to see firsthand the impact that he and C4C are having on Rett research. If you want to know more or have some spare change in your pocket, go to Casting4ACure.com.
For 2.5 days, we immersed ourselves in the events at the Bar Z which included heavy doses of streamer fishing, beer drinking and general revelry. We even packed along 3/5ths of our alter-ego, Wrinkle Neck Mules, for the occasion and had a hell of a front porch pick session for Saturday night's closing ceremonies. One of the Bar Z guides, Austin Reyher, pulled out his fiddle and dropped our jaws with his bow work.
On Sunday, we said our good byes to the C4C crowd, packed up our instruments and rods and headed off to the booming troutropolis of Craig, Montana for a little event we dubbed "Howlin' on the Mo" with our friends at Headhunters Fly Shop.
We didn't really need an excuse, but this offered us another opportunity to pick some songs, drink a few cold snacks and spread the Howler word in Craig. It was a beautiful day and it was awesome to spend time with the Headhunters squad and everyone who stopped by. Huge thanks to Mark, John, Sarah and everyone at Headhunters for helping us pull it off. And, an enormous thanks to Austin Reyher for bringing his fiddle up to Craig. You're now an honorary member of the WNM.
We're already thinking ahead to next Fall's Montana Pilgrimage and Howlin' on the Mo part 2. Stand by.

5. Remove one cup of the broth and place in the refrigerator to cool.
6. To the remaining stock add the bouillon granules.
7. Bring it to a boil and then reduce heat to a low simmer. Taste the stock and adjust the seasonings if needed.

Ruminations and Fulminations on Communication
Posted by Communications, Culture, Government, Humor, Journalism, Kickass journalism, Media, Politicsin
Tags: Jon Stewart interviews Obama, Mark Twain, political satire
Ah yes, another gathering of reasonable centrists.
Bruce, I was wondering when you'd get to the fact that Twain had no more respect for politicians than he did for business titans.
"There is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress," and "We have the best Congress money can buy" are two of my other Twain favorites regarding politicians.
Speaking of biographies, Ron Chernow's "Washington: A Life" is so good it borders on spectacular.
Chernow is a phenomenal biographer — his books on J.P. Morgan, Hamilton and Rockefeller are worth every minute spent reading them.
For all of you political junkies out there:
here is a great preview of everything that you will be hearing over the next few days in terms of post election analysis.
there, i have now just saved you several hours of time that you would otherwise waste listening to idiots pontificating as if they had some insight into what is about to happen.
Go spend it with your kids, your significant other, your dog, or volunteer someplace! All of these efforts will help to do some good in the world. Listening to the chattering classes will only hurt.

Publisher's Description
In the United States, alcoholism leads to 100,000 unnecessary deaths per year. Nearly 3 in 10 American adults are "risky drinkers." 18 million Americans are abusing alcohol regularly. More than ½ of Americans have a close family member who is an alcoholic.
Despite the scope of this problem, there are currently no books published for the broader Christian community that offer Dying for a Drink's unique combination of strong writing, compelling stories, the best in medical science and practice, and clear explication of the timeless spiritual principles of recovery.
The revision of this classic work incorporates new information on topics such as:
- The role of mental illness, childhood trauma, and family origin issues
- Human motivation and new methods of intervention and treatment
- Understanding the role of the Holy Spirit and the church community in recovery
- Prevention and the church's role in an alcohol-saturated society
Product Reviews
cw2gtcRamona, CaAge: 45-54Gender: male5 Stars Out Of 5Great for understanding the "mechanics" of alcoholMarch 14, 2011cw2gtcRamona, CaAge: 45-54Gender: maleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 4I ordered this book with the hopes of gaining a better understanding of where "I" was with drinking. It did give a great deal of information and answers about the psychology and physiology of alcohol use/abuse. Detailed info on the family interactions and cause/effect in the family unit.
This is a good primer for the abuser and spouse as one faces the alcohol demon and begins the process to win over from the demon.
Not what I was looking for in regard to totally turning it over to God and where to be guided specifically through Scripture.
I found those needs met in "Celebrate Recovery" Bible & series.

The Shortlist
The Shortlist for March 7
Kanye's kilt
Kanye's Kilt Photos Mysteriously Disappear From Getty
It's with a heavy heart that we report that the world has lost one of its greatest images of hip-hop style modernity: Kanye West in his leather Givenchy kilt. The Scottish-inspired, fashion-forward getup first appeared on Kanye at last year's 121212 Concert. And after it selflessly gave us a Twitter feed, a meme generator and a steady supply of giggles, its images were all cruelly removed from Getty's photo wire service without warning.
The tragic loss might be related to something 'Ye said on New York's Hot 97 this week, when asked why he only came in at No. 7 in an MTV poll of the hottest MCs: "They don't like Givenchy-Kanye. They don't like Kanye in a kilt. They don't like Kanye in a relationship." Alas, the 'Ye giveth … and the 'Ye taketh away.

Press release from CNW Group
Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement Financing
Thursday, July 07, 2011
Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation Announces Non-Brokered Private Placement Financing09:37 EDT Thursday, July 07, 2011TORONTO, July 7, 2011 /CNW/ - Timbercreek Mortgage Investment Corporation (the "Fund"), is pleased to announce it has completed a non-brokered private placement of 1,218,500 Class B Shares at $10 per Class B Share (the "Private Offering") effective July 4th, 2011. Gross proceeds of this Offering will be used to fund mortgage loans invested in from time to time and for general corporate purposes of the Fund.As of the date of this press release the total issued and outstanding Class A Shares and Class B Shares were 19,819,751 and 3,210,832 respectively.Over the last six months, the Fund has issued approximately $91 million in mortgage loans primarily secured by income-producing properties. The mortgage loans were funded with the proceeds from equity raised earlier this year and cash received from recent repayments of existing loans. While the Fund typically expects 30-40% portfolio turn-over in a year, repayments for the first half of this year have already exceeded 30% of the portfolio value. Despite this higher than expected repayment rate, all cash has been deployed or is committed to being deployed by July 31, 2012."Our primary focus is on preservation of capital and we believe the repayment rate we experienced in the first half of this year is a testament to the quality of the loans and borrowers in the portfolio," states Andrew Jones, who is responsible for originating mortgage investment opportunities for the Fund. "It is also very positive for investors as more fee income is generated when money comes back early and is redeployed.""With all of the Fund's capital deployed and more investment opportunities in the due diligence phase, the Fund is well position for its next phase of growth," explains R. Blair Tamblyn, Chief Executive Officer of the Fund. "Through the summer we intend to fund new investment opportunities with our credit facility in anticipation of another public offering of Class A shares in early fall."About the FundThe Fund provides investors with an opportunity to receive attractive yields by investing indirectly, through holding shares of the Fund, in mortgage loan investments selected and determined to be high quality by the Fund Manager. The investment objective of the Fund is, with a primary focus on capital preservation, to acquire and maintain a diversified portfolio of mortgage loan investments that generates attractive, stable returns in order to permit the Fund to pay monthly distributions to its shareholders.For further information: Timbercreek Asset Management Carrie Morris Vice President, Investor Relations 416-306-9967 x250 firstname.lastname@example.com

Health Jargon: What Is Bonking?
The word 'Bonking' clearly has more than one meaning. The two that immediately spring to mind are to do with having sex, and 'hitting the wall' in terms of athletics. For an athlete, it refers to the abrupt physiological response to 'running out of fuel' or more specifically 'running out of carbohydrate.' Karan D'souza, cyclist and aerobics trainer at Mangalore Cycling Union, elaborates: "Bonking feels terrific, but it can make you cry. You don't just slow down, you are drenched out of energy, and you get really hungry. Everything stops, and it is like a moment gone wrong." Sounds like something you'd want to avoid? We help you with some tips and tricks to do just that, with expert inputs from Karan D' souza. *Images courtesy: © Thinkstock photos/ Getty Images

Yeah; happens down here too! Makes me sick hearing about how the rich get off and the poor do the time. We, the people do protest, and a few times the government has had to act when it is considered 'gross misconduct' and re-try the person. One time, a well known lawyer was out drinking and dining for quite a few hours, and on his way home, ran over and killed a man cycling home to his family. He took off, hired himself a lawyer, hid for many hours until he had sobered up and then gave himself up. He was re-tried, but got off again....

The people who were in the car behind him stopped and cared for the man, who was already dead, while that chicken heart took off.
But there is no fooling GOD!!

It is indeed the action of the person or people who commit murder, breaking the Statute of GOD as they do. Some care not for GOD, as such, for they have no belief nor understanding of HIM, but find GOD when they are locked away in solitude. Not all find GOD, some go to their deaths the very criminals they were at the beginning of their solace. Those who do are happy that they did find GOD and it shows by their new reasons and actions for living. They become better people. There are many reasons why we should not Judge people, unless we are learned and appointed people in fair and equal Law.
I am on hold at the moment to my internet, phones & Fox provider; and the waiting time is 12 minutes. This is my second time around,'cause the first time I got cut off just as I was being transferred. Telstra now have offices all around the world, so they provide 24 hour service, which is a grand thing, because through the week would probably be twice as long.
When I heard the phone line disconnect, my first thought was "Dear GOD" and out of frustration. It made me recall the postings last night, and I thought of how I would have reacted if I was in my early 20's, still new on the road to Humility. I probably would have sworn....in fact, more probable chance I would have, than wouldnt have. We also have a saying down here; Strewth
***strewth.(UK, Australia, New Zealand) A mild oath expressing surprise or generally adding emphasis. Strewth! I guess I′ve been too trigger happy!***
I posted this link due to the trigger happy bit, and thought it also fits the picture of that which I am saying but more importantly, that which others have been writing about. I dont like to get into the gun debate, not ever having been involved with guns, I have no knowledge of their need to people.
Struth is an abbreviation of GODs Truth and an old saying when someone died was So and so gave up his/her ghost and that was what is written when Abraham gave up his ghost in some versions of the Bible. New versions write,took his last breath which doesnt present the same picture to mind.
I grew up in a Church and Sunday going family, and I loved Sunday School. I had been baptized as a Baby, and was again Baptized when I was 13 by my own choice, but in reality, I have no Church or Religion that I feel comfortable completely with, which is why my Church is my Home and my Temple is my Body.
I would much rather be the person I am today, quietly thinking Dear GOD than the one who would have sworn in the days gone by. I also usually manage to find a Scripture that suits my need, after the thought, so somehow or another, I have given myself enough knowledge of the Bible to suit my need.
I have also written much about Prayer and Faith, in my journal that was once a book, and when I re-edit my book, as I do each time I have grown or changed in thoughts, I will also include my postings about thoughts of GOD and our reactions because in reflection, or hind sight, I am thankful to have had GOD with me throughout my life time experiences; Blessings of Peace to us all, Serah

It was hard finding a post to reply to, and I scrolled by quite a few, and thought this one was as entertaining as any, and your avatar name as an understanding ring about it.
Actually, I have forgotten what I was going to write, after reading the postings, but will post this anyway; with the birds are singing and the sun is shining, for which I thank GOD :)

I'm still on hold to Telstra, and when I started writing my last posting about Dear GOD, it was 12:18pm and I had already been on hold for about 15 minutes.... it is now 12:36 but I have talked to 2 people, and now one is supposedly checking out something. Have I been cut off? Do I keep on holding, listening to music which is extremely boring, or hang up & start again? I am considering the factors and the variables, and for now, will hang on!!

Sick was a misspelling of sic while moderately intoxicated.
It means to incite a dog to attack, basically.
And no, I don't know the answer any more than you do, Clementine.

U called Eagle a dog? ummmm...I'm tellin'!
How the hell would u have gotten Eagle to attack me? He might be a fanatic but i don't think he's that bad, that he would attack me, would he?
Well, that makes me feel better. Now that I know I'm not alone, I don't feel lonely!

No, it was metaphorical.
And, of course if he does attack I will protect you.
(But without a firearm.)

My poem was about risk, inspired by the recent gun debates. If you have a lot to lose, personal property and children, it's not going to matter what the laws are, you have more to lose than someone with nothing. It is also about priorities, what one person is willing to risk in order to secure something else.
