Features to find in the best earplugs for musicians
A musician's life revolves around music and stuff related to it. One of the important instruments in this regard is the earplug. Here are few of the features that an earplug that a musician use must have.
- Among all other features that the best earplugs for musicians should have the first one is its perfect fit. The earplug that a musician will use should fit him perfectly.
- The second feature for which one should look for if he or she is a musician is that it should avoid the extra noise that we go through. In a basic earphone, it is not possible.
- Next feature that one should look for in a good earplug is that it should go in every situation. Whether the musician is sleeping or eating, he should be comfortable in wearing those earplugs.
Earplugs are very important for any musician; therefore they must have these features in it.

"I have lately been glancing through Sukhanov's notes on the revolution. What strikes one most is the pedantry of all our petty-bourgeois Democrats and of all heroes of the Second International. Apart from the fact that they are all extremely fainthearted, that when it comes to the minutest deviation from the German model [of Socialism] even the best of them fortified themselves with reservations — apart from this characteristic, which is common to all petty-bourgeois Democrats and has been abundantly manifested by them throughout the revolution, what strikes one is their slavish imitation of the past.
They all call themselves Marxists, but their conception of Marxism is impossibly pedantic. They have completely failed to understand what is decisive in Marxism, namely, its revolutionary dialectics. They have even absolutely failed to understand Marx's plain statements that in times of revolution the utmost flexibility is demanded, and have even failed to notice, for instance, the statements Marx made in his letters — I think it was in 1856 — expressing the hope of combining the peasant war in Germany, which might create a revolutionary situation, with the working-class movement — they avoid even this plain statement and walk around and about it like a cat around a bowl of hot porridge."
– Vladimir Lenin, "Our Revolution" 1923

Naked Mondays is a long held San Francisco tradition that has been reincarnated at 442 Natoma. We are getting a crowd that would be awesome on a weekend night. With a great variety of men fucking all over the place, we know you'll find something you like. The guys have to be naked (except for proper footwear) or wearing jock or fetish gear.
This party started with a strong local crowd and now attracts San Francisco visitors and hot men from all over northern California. There are usually guys waiting to get in at 8pm and guys play well past midnight. Which means there is no slow part of the night.

EMPORIA, Kan. "Fourth try's the charm!"
That was Arkansas City senior Kelsie Burr after her and teammate Jacey Arnett took home the doubles title at 5A State Tennis Saturday afternoon. A year ago in 4A, Burr and Chassidy Weathers came up just shy, falling in the title match in three sets. This year, now up a class, there was no third set necessary.
Trailing the Bishop Carroll duo of Lauren Steven and Paige Stranghoner 4-3 in the first set, the Bulldogs came back to win the next three games to take set one 6-4.
In the second, they again fell behind early but took a 5-4 lead into Championship point where the two teams went back and forth in, with Arnett finally ending the match with the advantage in deuce to bring home the win to Ark City.
.@achsbulldogs Kelsie Burr and Jacey Arnett do it! They take the doubles championship back to Ark City 6-4 6-4 in a great final! #CatchItKansas pic.twitter.com/2Qz02IfiBr— Bat Henderson (@KWCHMatt) October 13, 2018
In the singles final, it was a rematch from 2017 with defending champion Clara Whitaker of Kapaun facing rival Brittany Steven of Bishop Carroll. For the sophomore Whitaker, a win would mean a possible four titles in four years stays alive. For Steven, it was one final chance to win state before graduation.
But the match--much like the every match she played--was all Whitaker. She lost just three games the entire tournament, one of those in the first set against Brittany Steven, winning the singles title going away 6-1, 6-0.
And there it is! @kmcathletics Clara Whitaker takes the 5A singles title for a second straight year! #CatchItKansas pic.twitter.com/VnMTCSiJOY— Bat Henderson (@KWCHMatt) October 13, 2018
Not all was lost for the Golden Eagles, however. The two runner-up finishes paired with Brayden Steven taking fourth in singles gave Bishop Carroll their first team title since 2012.

Behind The Scenes Media Group is a company that's ultimate goal is to offer simple, affordable & quality digital services be it for personal or business use. We want to help create brands and business content and followings among many other digital services we offer. We aim to make the processes involved in a project as easy and simple as possible for the client so that the client can focus on their business and we can focus on delivering the ultimate digital product.
We are always looking for the most modern solutions to your digital needs and as such strive to improve and add new services all the time. We started out just offering website design and now offer a whole host of important digital services.
Web Design
In this day in age it is vital for a business to have an online presence that reflects the image of the business. The likeliness that a startup has competitors that have been around for a while means that business needs to find ways to innovate. With time comes the understanding that any business needs a website. Most people these days turn to the internet when looking for anything and everything. The bottom line is if a business has a website that is outdated or no website at all the public would most likely look to a business they can find more information on.
Most businesses have some form of a social media account and the main reason for this is because it is free. The issue with social media is that this is where the online presence ends for a business. Social media should be used as a tool to lead potential clients and the public to your property on the internet. Just like having an office or a storefront, a website is just as important for any and all businesses. We offer both informational and online store websites along with a host of other business specific systems.
Graphic Design
Graphic design and web design often go hand and hand as it is important to have a clean and uniform look when projecting a brand, person or entity. We started out just offering graphic design within our website design offering, but as we grew we started to offer stand-alone graphic design services such as print designs, social media ad designs and many other design services.
We started out offering photography for very specific cases when making websites for our clients such as product photography but as time went on we realized that offering a standalone photography service was something that our client base at the time was interested in. Since offering standalone photography services we have grown both our knowledge and capabilities offering business photo shoots, family shoots, product shoots, event shoots and many other Photo shoot options.
Naturally, after starting to offer the photography service, it was a no brainer to start working on our skills offering video services. We are currently still hard at work growing this area of our business but have made great progress. We are currently working on documentary-style video offering as well as product promo videos and event after movies.
The Scenes Collection
We are currently building a network of online platforms to help manage every aspect of your business! Watch this space for more news and updates.

Victor Coleman, Chairman & CEO, Hudson Pacific Properties: "It's truly an honor to be named a Treasure of Los Angeles by Central City Association. I've called the city home for more than 30 years, built two successful companies, and cultivated relationships with some of the brightest minds across industries. It's extremely rewarding to witness, and to contribute to, Los Angeles' evolution as a city of the future."
Suzanne Goin, Chef & Restaurateur, The Lucques Group: "As a native Angeleno it is a great and surreal honor to be acknowledged by the Central City Association of Los Angeles.

en Comparison the Effects of Cerium Nanoparticles (CeNP) and Cerium Oxide (CeO2) on Oxidative Toxic Stress in Human Lymphocytes نانوتکنولوژی Nanotechnology پژوهشي Research
Background: Dermatophytes are the most common fungal agents causing superficial skin infections in worldwide. Species identification of these fungi is important for therapeutic and epidemiological apects. The purpose of this study was to determine the epidemiology of dermatophytosis in patients referring to medical mycology laboratory of Razi hospital in Tehran, during 2014.
 Materials and Methods: In this study, 610 clinical specimens were collected from patients with suspected dermatophytosis. Direct microscopy and culture examinations were performed for all samples. DNA was extracted from fungal colony using phenol chloroform. Then ITS1-5.8s-ITS2 region of ribosomal DNA (rDNA) was amplified by the universal fungal primers ITS1 and ITS4 and digested with enzymes mva1.
 Results: In the present study, 236 subjects (38.6%) were positive for dermatophytosis. Of these, 64.8% were male and 35.2% female. The most frequent dermatophytes isolated were Trichophyton interdigitale (40.3%), Trichophyton rubrum (22.9%) and Trichophyton tonsurans (18.7%) respectivly. Also 58 samples were improperly diagnosed by morphological method, they were re-identified as Trichophyton interdigitale and Trichophyton rubrum by using PCR-RFLP.
 Conclusion: The survey showed that PCR-RFLP is a rapid and reliable method for discrimination of dermatophytes. We suggest using of PCR-RFLP as a valuable method along with morphological examination for diagnostic dermatophytes particularly in clinical and epidemiological settings.

Exploring Dementia, Part 3: Advance Planning for Home Care, Medical and Legal Issues
Today, we continue our series on dementia and how to deal with its presence in senior home care scenarios. Previously, we looked at causes of dementia, as well as recognizing common warning signs of dementia. Now, we will talk about what is potentially one of the most uncomfortable topics: planning for various medical and legal eventualities.
In theory, just about anyone – even those in good mental health – should do some thinking about end-of-life issues. However, for someone showing signs of dementia, the issue becomes more critical. Their ability to make these decisions will degrade day-to-day, so the sooner such issues can be resolved, the better.
Understanding the Need for Planning
Many seniors may be resistant to engaging in medical and legal planning, particularly if they are still trying to fully accept their growing dementia. Generalizing scenarios is impossible, but a good approach is to frame the issue in terms of making life easier for both them and their family and giving them the power to make choices.
Even if seniors foresee many years ahead before the dementia truly disables them, taking care of major questions early can prevent a lot of hardship later.
End-of-Life Medical Issues
The medical questions to address are straightforward, and can be boiled down to some simple but tough questions:
- Where would they prefer to spend their final years, such as at a residential facility or receiving home care?
- How aggressive should medical treatments be?
- How much quality-of-life would they trade for extra months or years? Do they wish to enact a living will?
- Do they have any religious or spiritual beliefs which are important to consider?
When possible, these questions should be addressed in consultation with a doctor or medical lawyer, as some – such as living wills – may require documentation.
Legal Issues
Legal planning mostly revolves around basic estate issues. Individuals should have a full inventory of their assets made, and should have an up-to-date will. In many cases, wishes for the handling of their final months/days or medical requests may need to be put in legal documentation as well.
Probably the most important decision is designating a family member with Power-of-Attorney. That is, giving a family member full authority to make decisions on the senior's behalf in the event he/she becomes incapacitated and unable to answer for themselves. The selected person would then become the point of contact for doctors, as an example, to decide and approve medical treatments.

The first lesson option is from Proverbs 31:10-31
- A capable wife who can find?
- She is far more precious than jewels.
- The heart of her husband trusts in her,
- and he will have no lack of gain.
- She does him good, and not harm,
- all the days of her life.
- She seeks wool and flax,
- and works with willing hands.
- She is like the ships of the merchant,
- she brings her food from far away.
- She rises while it is still night
- and provides food for her household
- and tasks for her servant girls.
Later, in Mark (9:30-37), we hear Jesus say:
"What were you arguing about on the way?" But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all."When you compare the words from Proverbs and these words of Jesus, it could certainly sound like Jesus is saying, "If you want to be my disciple, be a capable wife.
I can't help but think of that small piece of papyrus fragment from the fourth century that was recently found on which it is written, in Sahidic Coptic, "Jesus said to them, 'My wife....'"
That's it. Two little words 'My wife.....'. Not a whole lot to go on but tons of speculation which joins centuries of theories and even a best selling novel about what it might mean.
Here's a link to a picture of the papyrus fragment with translation from the NY Times. It reads:
not (to) me. My mother gave to me li(fe).
The disciples said to Jesus
deny. Mary is worthy of it
Jesus said to them, 'My wife'
she will be able to be my disciple
Let wicked people swell up
As for me, I will dwell with her in order to
an image.
It certainly sounds like "Mary" was not only deemed "worthy" by the disciples, but Jesus judged her "able" to be a disciple and to "dwell with" Him.
The capable wife?
I'm sure I don't know what that means.
I just want to know one thing: While that capable wife was doing all those things - seeking wool and flax.... working with willing hands.... bringing food from far away....rising while it is still night to provide food for her household - just what, exactly, was the husband doing?
Maybe writing stuff down on papyrus paper that would cause people - centuries later - to ask, "A capable wife, who can find?".
Sounds like Jesus just may have found one. And, he called her His disciple.

Today, according to my cousin Mary, there was an article in Richmond Times-Dispatch about the Silent Lunch on Wednesdays from 11 AM to 2 PM at the Shops at Willow Lawn's food court. My parents and relatives are somewhat devoted attendees of Silent Lunch. I rarely go. I just could not care less, really.
Watching hearing people trying to fingerspell a word in very slow manner makes me bored. Like Rosey Goodman did before when someone tried to fingerspell so slow, she turned her head away in the midst of his attempt to fingerspell to demonstrate that she is not interested nor had the time to put up with the shit. Suffice to say, the guy were stumped.
But certainly not my parents and my relatives, they can be so ... insanely patient. They can go 4 hours of enduring a person fingerspelling a whole 9-word sentence! Of course, I'm exaggerating.
It took 15 years for Richmond Times-Dispatch to realize that there is Silent Lunch at The Shops at Willow Lawn. Pretty impressive, is it? Silent Lunch gatherings rarely cancelled its events on Wednesdays. Very rarely. But it is nice to see that my uncle and aunt was mentioned in the article as well. You can see my aunt sitting in blue shirt. I am certain that my sister is the one wearing black shirt next to Peggy Norwood.
Aunt Helen is quite a character. She is feisty woman whom I am proud to have as Aunt. She was stricken with Polio disease a long time ago but she did not let it stop her from doing whatever she wanted to do what is on her mind. I vividly remembered going to the Richmond Club of the Deaf in Downtown Richmond. The clubhouse is situated on 2nd floor (really, if you look at the building itself, it is third floor by the modern's standards due to the fact that the building has the high ceiling on the first floor.
Due to the lack of laws, Helen had to abandon her wheelchair on the bottom of the long stairway and drag herself on the top of the floor -- without picking up a dirt on her dress. She was simply professional in what she does. And by the way, she does it so fast. She can zoom all the way to the top as it did not drain her energies -- imagine this -- using her arms to move up the stairs by the rails is not easy thing to do.
It is as if nobody can deny her the right to be in that place, not even the stairs would deny her! AT the top of the floor, there was crutches for her to get around. But when it is time to go home, she zoomed down the stairs without falling by using her arms to control herself with the rails. Some people would be worried about her going up and down the stairs, but not me. I know she'll manage just fine. After all, she had been doing it for the rest of her life.
That is my Aunt Helen.

In my version he can control his heavy staff also with his tail – this way he can reach out much further. I imagined a moment of surprise for the enemy.
I wanted him to not only look monkey-like but also very manly, so he could first protect me and then I could fall in love 😀 … wait what? Different story.
The sun is shining and here are the first flowers on my balcony this year! I felt joy and love in my heart .. sooo the rest was really just one plus one! ^^

What is a Utah Power of Attorney?
A Utah Power of Attorney (POA) grants a party called the Agent the required authority to act on the Principal's behalf so that they can effectively fulfill the expectations and terms the Principal has set out within this form. Utah's Power of Attorney laws are all contained within one title, referred to as the Uniform Probate Act. A number of Acts relevant to POA arrangements are found within the title, namely, the Advance Health Care Directive Act; Uniform Transfers to Minors Act; Uniform Power of Attorney Act; Uniform Powers of Appointment Act; and Uniform Fiduciary Access to Digital Assets Act.
- Utah Power of Attorney Laws – (Title 75, Chapter 9, "Uniform Power of Attorney Act") and (Title 75, Chapter 2a, "Advance Health Care Directive Act")
- State Definition of Power of Attorney (§ 75-9-102(7)) – "means a writing or other record that grants authority to an agent to act in the place of the principal, whether or not the term power of attorney is used."
- State Definition of Advance Health Care Directive (§ 75-2a-103(2)) – "(a) includes: (i) a designation of an agent to make health care decisions for an adult when the adult cannot make or communicate health care decisions; or (ii) an expression of preferences about health care decisions; (b) may take one of the following forms: (i) a written document, voluntarily executed by an adult in accordance with the requirements of this chapter; or (ii) a witnessed oral statement, made in accordance with the requirements of this chapter; and (c) does not include a life with dignity order."
- Signing Requirements
- General / Durable Power of Attorney (§ 75-9-105) – The Principal needs to sign the form before a Notary Public or another individual authorized by the law to take acknowledgments. The Principal is allowed to direct another person to sign their name, but the signing needs to happen in their conscious presence.
- Advance Health Care Directive / Medical Power of Attorney (§ 75-2a-107(1)(c)) – The Advance Directive must be witnessed by a disinterested adult.
When is it Effective?
In order for a General / Durable Power of Attorney to be effective, § 75-9-105 states that it must be signed by the Principal (or by another individual they direct to sign their name in their conscious presence) before a Notary Public. If the Principal can find another individual authorized by the law to take acknowledgments, they may also sign before this individual.
For an Advance Health Care Directive / Medical Power of Attorney, state law, specifically § 75-2a-107(1)(c)), requires that it is witnessed by a disinterested adult. This law also states that if the Principal resides or is about to reside in a hospital, assisted living, skilled nursing, or similar facility, at the time of execution of the POA, they must not name any Agent who is "the owner, operator, health care provider, or employee of the hospital, assisted living facility, skilled nursing, or similar residential care facility."
The exception to this is if the Agent's authority is restricted to helping the Principal with to qualify for Medicaid. Another exception is if the Agent is the Principal's spouse, legal guardian, or next of kin.
The law does not specify any particular signing for a Revocation of Power of Attorney nor for a Minor Child Power of Attorney (a Power of Attorney that is governed by a separate set of laws, Title 75, Chapter 5, Protection Of Persons Under Disability And Their Property).

So, it is now official that I do not save my catastrophes for home only. I also manage quite easily to have them in Cambodia too. It is typical of my luck that the loo in my en-suite bedroom got blocked. My stepson and his wife forgot to tell me to be economical with the loo roll. Those closest to me know that loo roll is my one extravagance in life (as if.) We have a problem and no plunger. I suggest asking the landlord. Down we trot only to find he has gone out. I cannot face the thought of a blocked loo all night. Travelling between bedroom and loo is where I get most of my exercise! I suggest asking at the restaurant opposite.
'They must have to plunge a fair bit,' I say 'seeing as they rent out rooms too.'
James agrees but feels less inclined to walk into a restaurant and ask for a plunger. After all he does have to continue living here. However, I don't speak Khmer. But I agree to have a go. After all I did block the toilet. I walk confidently across and into the restaurant full of dining tourists. Of course, it is at this point I very much want to walk back. How do I explain a blocked toilet in front of all these people who are happily eating? I lean across the bar in the manner of a conspirator. The waitress leans forward expectantly.
'We have a blocked toilet,' I whisper.
'Oh,' she says.
'Do you have a plunger?' I ask while miming the actions of plunging and not very well at that.
I can't imagine how I look.
'Oh yes,' she says and rushes away to return a few minutes later with a large plunger which she diplomatically hands to me behind the counter. I feel like I'm doing a drugs deal.
I walk head held high from the bar swinging the plunger in my hand.
James thrilled that I have obtained one, agrees to do the plunging, except the plunger seems too small. Why am I not surprised? This is me this is happening to after all.
'It doesn't seem to have great suction. It's too small,' says James.
Too small? Good lord how big does it need to be?
It is then decided, by me. Who else would make such suggestions? That I should hold it over the hole and maybe this will help. James seems unconvinced but searches out some rubber gloves for me. So we try again. It looks rather like we are about to perform an operation and with James being a nurse it all seems quite apt. Still no luck but I spur James on to keep trying as a blocked loo in this heat is too unbearable to even think about. Finally, there is a loud spluttering sound and we are cleared.
I walk across the road to return the plunger to find the restaurant now has more people dining. I look around for someone to hand the plunger to but they are all busy serving. The waitress sees me and smiles. She wanders back behind the bar and holds her hand out. Cringing with embarrassment I hand the plunger across the counter, carefully avoiding the Cointreau bottle.
'Thanks so much,' I whisper and hurry back across the road.
Why do I feel this is one of many catastrophes I will have?

Getting the seat of your choice is a matter of concern for every passenger boarding a flight.
Every time you're at the checked-in, you may have avoided a middle seat or opted for the one near the window. Or you may have chosen a seat away from the emergency exit, if not the one with more legroom. Again, some might prefer to be seated in the front, to avoid the queue when deboarding a flight, while some prefer the rows in the back, for "more safety" in case of an untoward incident.
Reasons for choosing a seat in a flight may vary from person to person. But every time you are making a choice, knowingly or unknowingly, you are also being entitled to certain scientific benefits.
According to experts, choosing the seat in front is always a better option. "Our centre of gravity is usually around 28 per cent, and the centre of pressure usually acts around 25 per cent of the mean aerodynamic chord (1/4 of the way down the wing). These two forces form a couple, around which the aircraft pivots,'' Sebastian Lender, an airline pilot, wrote for an online poll on the choice of seats, in Quora.
''If you sit over the wing, around 1/4 down the aircraft, you will have a far more comfortable flight. Forces acting during landing, take off, taxi and turbulence are magnified, the further from this point you are, and at the back of the plane, is the furthest you can be. Add to that the fact that you have a big rudder at the back yawing the aircraft laterally around a point roughly central, and it is no wonder that most of our vomiters are sitting down the back,'' Lender added. This means that sitting at the front will ensure a more comfortable flight. Other users on Quora also showed preference for front seats.
On the other hand, Federal Aviation Administration's CSRTG (Cabin Safety Research Technical Group) Aircraft Accident Database reveal that the middle seats in the rear of an aircraft have the highest survival rates. An analysis, conducted by Time in 2015, found that the seats in the back-third of the aircraft had 32 per cent fatality rate, compared to 39 per cent in the middle-third and 38 per cent in the front-third. The worst-faring seats were on the aisle in the middle-third of the cabin with 44 per cent fatality rate.

However, if an accident proves to be fatal, it will depend on the very circumstance of the mishap, rather than the seat you are in. And that's why, technically, there cannot be a "safer" seat in flight. It totally depends on chance. But we can, of course, take our own precautions.

Mathpro is a React app that lets users calcalate the geometric properties of different shapes. The user can select which properties to use as inputs and the app outputs the rest. Mathpro manages tens of thousands of calculations and generates dynamic calculators for each shape.
Mathpro's calcalations were converted to workable javascript formulas using Regex from excel spreadsheets that were part of an earlier project. The backend uses Laravel to manage the user authentication system.
My most recent project for a client is MyShedRental. This portal allows dealers to rent sheds to clients on MyShedRental's behalf. MyShedRental is able to create accounts for dealers who are then able to create customers and shed rental contracts. Most of the site is locked behind a login but the price calculator was left public.
MyShedRental integrates multiple API's like Stripe for credit card payments, Paysimple for debit card payments and RightSigniture for digital contracts.
The authentication is built on laravels authentication system and protects against SQL injection, cross site scripting and saves passwords as bcrypt hashes so passwords are never saved as plain text.
My latest personal project is Image Splitter which lets a user mirror and manipulate uploaded images. A demo video can be seen here.
The Map Generator is an app the lets users create maps for others to view.It is a Vue component and uses Bootstrap 4 for styling.
SVG Animations are a nice creative touch for a website. The images are from Pixabay and converted into simplified SVG paths using Inkscape. CSS animations are then added for the drawing affect. See a site example here.
Programming Web Games with Unity3D and C# gave me the opportunity to dive deeper into programming and to learn better practices. I was also able to get a lot of feed back on how to create better user interfaces and user experiences.

by Kent and Audrey Lewis
The Skipper and I launch our small sail-and-oar boats from our beach and dock, and coming and going we have to negotiate several obstacles. With the boathook we may pole off the beach, fend off from our beach groins, or push off the dock. We'll also paddle to and from the dock and in and out of the wind shadow created by the shoreside trees. We like to carry as little gear as possible when sailing, so we created a combination paddle and boathook, which we call a "padook."
We liked the bronze boathook that we ordered from The WoodenBoat Store and attached it to a wooden shovel handle. Handle and hook together measured 5′, a length that worked well for our Penobscot 14; it had a good reach length and was easy to store and use, so we set that as the length for the padook. We bought another bronze hook and made a new shaft with a paddle blade shaped like that of a traditional Greenland paddle.
We both prefer using Greenland paddles for kayaking; used properly, the long, narrow blades have a powerful stroke and are very well suited for sculling techniques. The slender blades, unlike those of conventional paddles, are sized to provide a good grip in the hand and would also make the padook a little easier to stow aboard our small boat.
We started with a piece of white pine, trimmed it for finished overall length of 5′, and tapered the shaft end to fit in the boathook socket. The bronze hook is secured with two silicon-bronze wood screws. The wooden paddle part measures 1-3/8″ diameter at the hook end, transitions to a 1-1/8″ by 1-3/8″ oval at the paddle throat, and flares to 2-5/8" wide at the paddle tip. The blade is 34" long, tapers to 1/8″ at the edges, and has a center chord that tapers from the 1-3/8″ thickness at the throat to the 1/8″ tip. The edges have shoulders where they meet the loom, and for paddling this provides a good grip that's easily oriented by touch in the dark, as well as a secure handhold when we have to pull hard with the hook.
As it is with Greenland paddles, the padook works best when the blade is moving slightly edgewise through the water. It will flutter when pulled hard straight back, but still provide power. Think of it as the blade of an airplane propeller instead of a plank on a paddle-wheel. The blade is very well suited for sculling; we can provide a constant pull and avoid having to pull the blade out of the water. Coming back home we use the hook end of the padook to fend off the dock and grab dock cleats.
Like a proper boathook, the padook floats vertically—the weight of the hook pulls the loom down; 16″ of the blade sticks up above the surface, much easier to see and grab than a boathook that floats flat. The padook also aligns with our goal of having boating gear that serves multiple purposes. Maneuvering a boat around a dock usually requires a paddle and a boathook, and we like having a single device in hand that takes the place of both.
Audrey "Skipper" Lewis and "Clark" Kent Lewis enjoy small boating along the bays and rivers of Florida's Emerald Coast. Their adventures can be followed on their small boat restoration blog.
I was intrigued by the Lewis' padook and decided to build one for myself. It was an easy and familiar shop project—I've made several Greenland paddles in the past and described the process in a book I wrote, Building the Greenland Kayak. Here's how I went about making my padook:

I carry a canoe paddle in my day sailer and have often thought about having a boat hook as well. The Padook is too good of an idea to pass up. Another project!
Thank you.
Beautiful work Chris, love the detail photos. Leave it to you to make it look easy and fast!
Skipper and Kent
That Kent and Audrey have all the good ideas.
Geoff Kerr at Two Daughters Boatworks had a combo big paddle and hook on one of his videos but what we did was incorporate the slim design of the Greenland blade. It is very easy to grab, use, and stow on our small boats.
We also made a tiny paddle with the Greenland blade shape for our Sunfish. It fits in the cockpit, comes in handy on a no-wind day to paddle through a tack with one or two sweeps. Oh, wait, that's Top Secret info….

Sometimes a good looking accessory can be made by using simple things and a little bit of your own ingenuity. This video is a perfect example of the same. The items needed are simply a piece of square cloth to form the bow, a rectangular strip of the same cloth which is used to create the middle "crushed" portion of the bow and a piece of elastic of appropriate length. The first step involves creating the bow itself. Some hand-stitching may be required here. The next step simply involves guiding the elastic through the centre of the bow. Finally, the two does of the bow are stitched together. The stitched portion is then hidden inside the centre of the bow.
