With help from local hero, Sidney Crosby, Canada pulled off an awesome win in overtime to win the gold medal in mens hockey! Although Canada has won more gold medals this year then ever before, there is no medal more important then hockey gold. Not only did the mens team win gold, but the womens team did too!

It’s not often that I see shark tattoos with this level of detail. Even in black and white, these shark tattoos look awesome!

We recently discussed Campion’s efforts to produce a boat made an environmentally friendly boat made from bio-resin, but what about making boats from recycled materials, or maybe just materials that would otherwise go to waste. For example, what if you made a boat out of the chopsticks people throw away after meals!
A former city employee in the Fukushima prefecture town of Koriyama has built a 4-meter (13-ft) long canoe from thousands of used disposable chopsticks recovered from the city hall cafeteria. Bothered that perfectly good wood was going to waste after a single use, Shuhei Ogawara — whose job at city hall involved working with the local forestry industry — spent the last two years of his career collecting used chopsticks from the cafeteria. An experienced canoe builder, Ogawara spent over 3 months gluing 7,382 chopsticks together into strips to form the canoe shell, to which he added a polyester resin coat. The canoe weighs about 30 kilograms (66 lbs), which is a bit heavier than an ordinary cedar canoe, but Ogawara is confident it will float. A launching ceremony is planned for May at nearby Lake Inawashiro.

It’s no secret that I love Japan. There is not a single place on this earth that I have fantasized about visiting more than Japan. In fact, I probably think about Japan just as much (if not more) than I think about fishing on a daily basis. Even when I’m sleeping, I dream about Japan. I cannot escape it, and there is only one way for me to deal with this obsession- go there.
But since I cannot go to Japan, I read about her culture, I watch shows about her cities and streams. All the while I’m in complete envy. A great example of this was when I recently watched Satoyama: Japan’s Secret Watergarden. I can’t help but share the awesome wonder of such a place. I found all the videos on youtube, and even created a playlist so you can watch them with ease.
I’ve embedded the first video, but if you find it as intriguing as I have you’ll definitely want to watch the rest.
