Hey Griffin! How about those Cardinals!!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blastocyst - The Blastocyst is the structure formed in early mammalian embryogenesis, after the formation of the blastocele, but before implantation. It possesses an inner cell mass, or embryoblast, and an outer cell mass, or trophoblast. http://www.isscr.org/glossary/index.htm - Blastocyst A very early embryo consisting of approximately 150 cells. The blastocyst is a spherical cell mass produced by cleavage of the zygote (fertilized egg). It contains a fluid-filled cavity, a cluster of cells called the inner cell mass (from which embryonic stem cells are derived) and an outer layer of cells called the trophoblast (that forms the placenta). This is an interesting link... http://www.advancedfertility.com/blastocy.htm So I gather by my quick search is that blastocysts are fertilized human embryos which if inserted into a woman would grow to be a human. So then the ethical question is, "when does life start?". Man is entering a period of discovery that will unlock the Creator's design for life... my question is, will the Creator let him? I will remind everyone NOT to make this personal. Do not attack or degrade anothers opinion on this subject, as volatile as it is. We can discuss this with respect. I'm looking forward to what our research finds.

by the way you all have lost my appriciation towards this website. ????????????????? I don't understand that statement.

WOW!!! On a Saturday even! I may have to change one of my golden rules- "No fishing on Saturday... especially in October". Loop wing... haven't fished a loop wing in a while. Ryan Walker introduced me to Loop Wings.

Good enough. Just didn't want a war of words started on a general statement. Thanks for clarifying.

This amendment will give researchers the right to clon human cells for research. They call it something else but it's clonning- they don't deny it. I have to get up on this subject- wanted to before I posted on the subject cause I don't like to make statements off the top of my head... which I'm doing right now- sorry. So- I'll be reading alot in the next fews days. Here's one interview I started to listen to- starts out interesting enough. http://media-c02m01.libsyn.com/podcasts/e2...esleyJSmith.mp3

Stem cell: there are several kinds. Adult, ambilicord, embryo... I support research of stem cell too, but not at that price. What about the money... the way the amendment is written, the state cannot turn down a request for funds by companies who want to do this research. The ads say, "make $$ available" but it's more than that. This is a step down a slippery slope- both sides have admitted it. But one wants to go down and the other doesn't.

I just saw a new commercial for this prop #2 - stem cell initative. It was the fire fighers. I have a big problem with the way they are spinning this issue. It's all about the $$$$$$$$$... not cures. This amendment will guarantee state money for research. It's a blank check to research firms to study stem cells. I also happen to be opposed to it on the ethical side... but the money argument is much simplier to point out without getting into the ethical side of it.

I've been told large browns are good smoked... I think it's like any fish- if it's prepared properly, it's good. If it's not- it can be REAL bad.

Tightline- can you knowingly make that statement? Do you know these people who promote catch and release and do they keep every female full of eggs?

I've killed my share of trophy trout... and bass. I cringe when I see someone kill a trophy but I have to remind myself... relationships should be more important than small opinions. Life is way too short to get upset about a fish and then let that come between me and another person.

Was going to cancel the extra pics attached... but can't figure it out. Where and how? I assume you were boating it. Crank bait??? Thanks for posting.

That makes more sense. He would... hanging around outlet #2.

????? I had not noticed till now. My guess is some overseas forum put up a link on their site??? I have no idea!

scuds in him.... did you keep it?

Suspending for the most part. But floating rather than sinking.

May be you should use a "hisssss" here and there- you may get someplace.

No hook restriction. I have no experience using red hooks. Patterns - there's no bad pattern. I've caught alot of browns on brown, rainbow, shad, gold, clown... many others. I use mainly rapala but others use rogues and pointers.

11/23 is already taken... pick another birthday. Here's the dates so far- 11/23 12/25 1/7 1/16 1/28 2/14 3/15 3/22 4/1 4/7 4/9 4/15 4/20 5/18 6/1 7/12 8/2

Cooper Creek Public Access is off Fall Creek Rd. FC runs from 165 (where Fall Steak House burned) to 76 near the Pizza Hut. Follow the signs to Cooper Creek Resort. The turn off is 2 miles from 76, 3 miles from 165.

Whatever... you got till Nov 1. Did you get a sign?

Forgot- if no one gets it on the money, we'll go to the closest. If we have a tie... I'll think of something.

Those that have followed my adventure this summer already have heard about this place, but I wanted to bring it up again because the calendar is already filling up for next summer. http://naknekrivercamp.net/index.html He's also offering a fish-on-your-own rate of $1395, lodging, meals and a boat. I'll be spending part of the summer up there... haven't decided just how long as of yet but it will be substancial.

??? There's a hidden meaning in that statement.

I thought I'd do something fun here... Guess the date the counter hits 4,000,000 and win 3 night stay here at the Landing worth $265.00. You get one guess. Post the date and year. Only one date can be picked. I'll post a compilation of dates taken every once in a while. Deadline on 'guessing' is November 1, 2006.
