They still need a QB. Bowe's drop hurt, but it didn't make the game. Cassel's lack of accuracy is a problem and probably why he sat on the bench at USC.

Did you go through the tunnel?

I rarely use a crank, but when I do it's a shallow one. Smallies will often come up, especially in the fall. There's always the jig.

FYI, I was told by an employee that anything returned goes to the outlet store. Why it was returned doesn't matter.

"What's killing the family farmer is not gm crops, but big corporate farms. If there was a case for feeling sore at a corporation, I feel that the the mega-farmers (where the owner sits in his office)do more damage to the family farmer than a company that produces the seed that they both use. just my two cents. Of course, government subsidies do help relieve the sting." The reason big corporate farms put the small farmers in a bind is do to their ability to cuts cost, while raising yields. This effects the market prices and puts the family farmer in a pinch trying to match their efficiency. Being very efficient can take a considerable investment.

Well the defense has been improving for a while and the young talent is beginning to mature, not to mention rookies like Berry. The O line is looking better all the time and the running game is solid. Cassel needs to step up and play like a highly paid QB. Time will tell.

Amen, its just a forum. No use getting bent out of shape because Cricket does a little poking and jabbing. Man up.

Come on Chief, not here! As to goats and sheep and cattle and whatever else that grazes, I don't think that's the answer. The people are starving because they can't grow enough to eat, much less feed some big hunk of protein. They'll stop being hungry when they either leave the desert, learn to eat what can be grown else where and shipped in bulk, such as rice corn or wheat. Their protein should most likely be fish, but not salmon, altered or otherwise, but an algae eating freshwater fish or a saltwater fish, for areas with ocean front property. Somalia's a great example, they're hungry and there biggest cash crop is piracy. How are you going to relieve their hunger with salmon? Salmon are probably the worst fish for the job, but a great fish for high priced sales in this country. Genetically altered salmon would help lower prices, at least until the normal suppliers go out of business then it will be once again a sellers market.

I suspect hell will freeze over before these fish reach areas where hunger exist.

True, but I believe they are very closely linked to Steelhead and some biologist believe they were separated in another period. If that's true then any west coast operation could endanger the Steelhead. If its about world hunger than why not build a market for Asian carp? I've eaten canned common carp and they rival tuna and salmon. We certainly wouldn't miss the new Asian carp.

Good grief OB, what's the world coming to, I agree with you. We've been eating, I haven't, chemically altered Tilapia. Like OB said, I don't think this would have any effect on world hunger and if it does in the future than we could worry about it than. It bothers me that this company is pushing it now, what or who do they know in the FDA?

Its really not an MDC question but a COE question. I know that you can hunt Truman, except where it's prohibited.

I don't have any problems with skirts going bad in storage, at least not like the old Arbogast skirts, but I think all to often store bought jigs are made to sell. I prefer drab colors with a small amount of color, just like a crawdad.

I disagree, running back is a tough position and Jones isn't that bad, especially when it keeps Charles legs fresher. I don't know that it was Haley's idea to pay big bucks for Cassel, it might possibly had been someone closer to him in his old organization. Cassel would be fine if he could pass. Running a little league play or two doesn't help either. Even Charles isn't going anywhere when he has to wait for the QB to run 10" to give him the ball, while he stands there where everyone can locate him.

Sounds like a good idea to me. I was taught to close the barn door before the horse gets out.

I tie all my jigs, but not with copper wire. If the wire is important I would tie with thread, then after gluing the thread wrap the wire. The only other suggestion would be to use the silicone ring and get the skirt where you like it, then wrap the wire in front of it and cut the ring off. I've always used the rings and had no problems getting the highlights and flair I want. I use thread for bucktails.

Paying for two different services seems out of line. You normally don't see a fee to launch and a fee to park. I don't recall ever having to pay to park where I've paid to launch. No problem with the access fee, but the parking sounds like a little much, unless you're offering some kind of security that's costing you extra.

Well obviously he didn't know how to read the water, but that can be a necessity on any flow above calm. I can't count the times I've seen the flow high there, but I've never seen anything intense enough tip a kayak over. A canoe maybe, if the occupants do something silly.

I always thought the rocks, if you're talking about the ones blocking the gravel bar, were on private property?

Al the thread in question is under Pomme De Terre lake. It's still alive and well.

I think the ramp west of the landing is still there. If you're experienced, I wouldn't worry about the dam flow, it looks worse than it is. Small boats fish it all the time and they probably aren't as stable as the kayak. It would compare to a 11 white water.

"Modern wind turbines Three bladed wind turbine Turbines used in wind farms for commercial production of electric power are usually three-bladed and pointed into the wind by computer-controlled motors. These have high tip speeds of over 320 km/h (200 miles per hour), high efficiency, and low torque ripple, which contribute to good reliability. The blades are usually colored light gray to blend in with the clouds and range in length from 20 to 40 metres (65 to 130 ft) or more. The tubular steel towers range from 60 to 90 metres (200 to 300 feet) tall. The blades rotate at 10-22 revolutions per minute. At 22 rotations per minute the tip speed exceeds 300 ft per second.[15][16] A gear box is commonly used to step up the speed of the generator, although designs may also use direct drive of an annular generator. Some models operate at constant speed, but more energy can be collected by variable-speed turbines which use a solid-state power converter to interface to the transmission system. All turbines are equipped with shut-down features to avoid damage at high wind speeds." I do feel better knowing the destruction is caused by them hitting the blades, rather than being chopped up. But then again dead is dead.

Is that a question about one of my statements?? Did I say they understand how to handle lead? You keep changing your approach OB, every time I say I understand and don't refute that ingested or injected or inhaled lead is bad, you ignore it and want to debate whether we should throw up our hands and invoke a blanket ban. If we're going to do that then I would think brass beads and rattles would be fair game. We have many other threats to the environment, many worse than lead and we weigh they consequences. Why can't we do that with lead? Identify the levels of toxic effects by the various items. The petition asks for a blanket ban, and points out that brass could be a culprit, yet you want to hedge and say that's not necessary. So they can ban anything you have a ready substitute for?

That would appear to be the Wind Energy's side, but his another side. http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-01-04-windmills-usat_x.htm My cousins grandson has been involved in a study being done by MSU on a wind farm in north Missouri. They're concern is bats, but he's told me that birds get chewed up also. Its a myth that the blades are to slow, they are so long the tips are traveling a lot faster than they appear. According to him there's a solution to the bat problem. It requires that they feather the blades at night when power demand is very low, but apparently the industry thinks it's too expensive.

Like I said before, we pick and choose and it doesn't always make sense. I brought up wind turbines on the other thread, but its a non issue. The fact that they kill a lot of birds and bats, some of the bats are endangered, and are outright ugly on the outdoor landscape, still allows them to get a pass.
