Here are some more information for Pole Spikes:
While it's fun to feed pigeons at parks and courtyards, pigeons and similar pest birds can create all sorts of problems. They cause millions of dollars in damage to buildings, facades and mechanical structures--like air conditioning units, telephone, electrical and lighting systems. Pigeons can also create a health hazard. Because their poop, besides being corrosive, can carry any of 60 known diseases.
Fortunately, man has devised all sorts of clever pigeon and pest-bird deterrents. And unlike the days of old when property owners used poisons or shotguns to cull down pest bird populations, today's methods are far more humane. One way to discourage pest birds from "taking over" an area is to exploit their natural fear of predators. And few predators are as despised among pigeons and most pest birds as the Red-tail Hawk.
All the more reason why a Red-tail Hawk decoy can be particularly effective in ridding an area of pest birds. Pigeons instinctively recognize the aerial outline of this highly skilled hunter. Armed with razor sharp talons and eyesight eight times as acute as a human's, a Red Tail can dive after its prey at up to120 miles per hour (they can spot a pigeon from 150 feet above the ground and snatch birds right out of the sky).
A medium-sized bird of prey, the Red-tail Hawk is the most widespread and common member of the American family of large soaring hawks. It's also one of the largest hawks, typically weighing between 2 and 4 pounds. The female is nearly 33 percent larger than the male and may have a wingspan as wide as 56 inches. These birds prefer to soar at high altitudes using their sharp eyesight to zero in on their prey below. An aggressive hawk, the Red Tail will tenaciously fight to defend its territory. All of which is bad news for any pigeons and pest birds that dare to invade the Red Tail's space.
Pigeons and similar pest birds will quickly recognize the Red-tail Hawk for it can be found in a wide range of habitats and altitudes. This includes deserts, marsh-shrubs, grasslands, coniferous and deciduous forests, agricultural fields, and even urban areas. It is a very adaptable bird, equally at home in varying heights above sea level, and capable of breeding throughout much of North America-from western Alaska and northern Canada all the way down to Panama. Red Tails can also be found in cities, perched along highways on utility poles and other lofty structures. So pigeons and other pest birds will always be on the lookout for this highly skilled predator.
Once you've purchased a Red-tail Hawk decoy, correct positioning is essential for maximum effectiveness. That's because hawk decoys rely on their outline in the sky and the shadow of their body and wings on the ground to be instantly recognized by pigeons and pest birds. For this reason, hawk decoys should be suspended as high as possible above a pest bird's area for maximum threat posture. This can be accomplished using a suitable pole, open tree branch or other extension above the problem area. The decoys should also be moved around at least once a week, otherwise pest birds would grow accustomed to them and no longer regard them as a threat. Also, when purchasing a hawk decoy, opt for one that is made of durable weather-resistant plastic. One other tip: the overall effectiveness of a hawk decoy can be magnified when used in conjunction with ultrasonic or audio deterrents. So it pays to talk to a pro about which deterrents to use with any particular type of pest bird.
Finally, hawk decoys are an environmentally friendly alternative to ridding an area of pigeons and other pest birds. They don't harm anything or anyone. They just rely on a pest bird's natural instincts to keep them away.

A Drop Is An Ocean [Part 2]
Road rage is a great example of energies sparking off each other, but there are smaller rages happening in our households all of the time.
What is an argument if it is not a swapping of comments triggered by action/reaction, button pushing/reacting to each other’s energies?
v
Energies attract each other like magnetic poles.
v
I have come to accept that *the other* is my mirror. No matter how calm I may appear to me, no matter how my lips may smile, my energy field bounces off yours. For example, when you annoy me, it is because something in you triggers something in me that is *about* me. And, so, unless I can stay energetically neutral and in the present-moment, I spike - I react, usually negatively – and you and me are locked in a tango that is all too familiar.
v
Many a time, I have found myself in the aftermath of a present-moment that should have been inconsequential but did not end well at all.
Why not? My voice was calm. I was calm. My words were not inflammatory and yet there was a blow up.
One minute we were just talking and the next there are doors slamming.
v
Our energy field betrays us time and time again. There is nothing our energy field can do about it.
v
Although we can influence other people up to a point, but only IF the person is open to the idea in the first place, as anyone’s daughter, as anyone’s girl friend or partner, we already know that we cannot, not truly, alter anyone else’s take on life. We can only try to adjust our own and remember that likes attract likes.
v
The only way to attempt a permanent shift is by checking that we are *in the moment* particularly when interacting with a *difficult* person or in a stressful moment.
v
We need to aim for being *in the moment* ALL OF THE TIME and flow through the other’s negativity like the bow of a galleon ploughs through the water [or let it flow over us like water off a duck’s back] but the shift will only happen when we are aware that our heart energy is present even at the loggerheads moment, not by feeling victimised, not by shrugging the other off, thereby setting up the next round.
v
Ironically, being in the moment means not reacting to an unpleasant moment of which the present moment reminds us. Let’s not drink Today out of yesterday’s cup.
v
We are back to the need of being in the present-moment, of not allowing our energy field to spike, of not being confronting. All we need is to practice being in the present-moment. We need to flow through it, in neutral, instead of opposing it - instead of hunkering down.
v
We only need to practice observing our reactions. Not letting spikes of energy, excitement, apprehension, adrenaline, resentment or whatever *taint* the moment.
v
The moment we spike, we *touch* energetically. Whatever we touch sticks to us, just like the invisible germs that stick to our hands when we do not wash them carefully.
Whatever sticks to us is what we have to deal with sooner or later, again and again.
Sometimes we end up with a bad case of gastroenteritis.
Sometimes we end up with yet another argument and having to deal with its aftermath.
Sometimes we end up with one argument too many.
Sometimes we end up with a nervous breakdown, a cancer or a heart attack.
v
Our connection to all others is palpable when we catch a cold from *someone* at the office. It is so easy to accept that strangers sue strangers over passive smoking and that we depend on everyone washing their hands before they prepare our food.
v
And when a killer disease like tuberculosis or a flu pandemic make the headlines, even if countries far away, we pay attention. The HIV virus has taught us that we are all connected, even if worlds apart, but we drop the connection the minute we delude ourselves into thinking that the skin that keep us all wrapped up and *pleasant * to look at also makes us a truly individual being, an island of self-realization.
v
According to Paul Brunton in his book What Is Karma, “The esoteric interpretation of karma recognizes that a wholly isolated individual is only a figment of our imagination, that each individual’s life is intertwined with all of humanity’s life through ever expanding circles of local, national, continental and finally planetary extent; that each thought is influenced by the world’s predominant mental atmosphere; and that each action is unconsciously accomplished with the cooperation of the predominant and powerful suggestion given by humanity’s general activity.” He adds, “the consequences of what each of us thinks and does flows like a tributary into the larger river of society and there mingles with waters from innumerable other sources […] That is to say *I*, an individual, share in the karma generated by all others, whilst they share in mine.” [1]
Not unlike a storm water out of a pipe, really. Sure, we are all connected.
v
One afternoon, as we watched a rainstorm drown the coastline from inside the shelter of a beach cafe, my partner pointed at the sea right in front of us.
“Look at that!” she exclaimed. “One minute that sea is blue, dark blue even, and the next … look! It’s like all polluted.”
She was right. The waves coming in had actually become brown. Their sparkling white crests had become dingy.
“Storm water from the drains on the other side,” interrupted the waitress, as she pointed to a rocky outcrop off to the right.
My partner and I looked at each over our glass of perfect dry white wine.
“Look how it’s spreading out seawards from waves closest to the shore.”
Sure enough over a matter of minutes brown water had bled into an ever-expanding area of the sea.
“Ugly. Very nasty,” is all I could reply, mesmerized by the graphic illustration of what karmic *pollution* might look like in our energy field.
The following day, I went looking for the storm water pipes near the outcrop and, sure enough, though the rain had long stopped, tannin-colored water was still meandering through runnels it had cut into the sand on its way to the sea. By then, though, the ocean had processed it all and was back to its normal colors- varied hues of blue and green.Like the ocean, our ego-persona appears to be managing well on the surface. It absorbs. It hides. It deals - up to a certain point. But our ego-personas have great limitations. They only rely on past memories. The past is static and memory is fallible.
v
Should you now feel ready for a charming, cute and quaint DVD through which to pit your understanding of soul vs ego, spiking vs being in the moment and separation vs non-separation, I encourage you to view Ratatouille, directed by Brad Bird, Jan Pinkava.
It has all the right ingredients - great verbal and visual wit, a vibrant 3D animation and an unlikely but adorable main character, Remy, the rat.
All films can be deconstructed from a spiritual perspective by those of us who enjoy that extra layer but most, like Brave One, starring Jodie Foster, considered *good* in spite of their violence, showcase the dark, mechanical side of the universal ego-persona, whilst Ratatouille is simply delightful.

About the Author
By day, a teacher of Senior English and French in Brisbane, Australia, and, by night, first a writer of novels and now a writer of spiritual material, I am on a quest of sorts – I am searching for a connection to my soul, right here, right now.
Admittedly, I have an ulterior motive – quite a strong one at that: I am trying to edit some karma out of my energy field by altering its properties.
This, from me, who a couple of years ago thought about my soul as often as the molecular composition of my body, which was never.
How many spikes on the spike plate usually qualify as a jumping spike? 4? 7?
i found an awesome pair of spikes but they only have 4 spikes on them. I was just wondering if that would be more of a distance spike or jumping or what? I do sprints and pole vault and long jump ( i already have a pair of sprinters) and i am looking for a good pair of jumpers. any suggestions?
Its not about the number of spikes on the plate. Its more about the location of the spikes, the weight of the shoe, and the padding on the bottom. Since you already have sprinters spikes, you know the spikes are more forward and the shoe is very light, and should have almost no padding. You have lucked out because PV and LJ shoes are the same type of shoe. They are very similar to sprinting shoes but they tend to have more padding on the heal. No spikes just padding on the heal. But if you already have sprinting spikes why not just wear them for your other events as well?

When waxing poetic about the game of baseball, fans use classic phrases like "the crack of the bat" and "the taste of the hot dogs" to describe a day at the ballpark.
