What's your preference? Trout? Lotsa fish, a few bigguns, a day in the wild, what? You gonna wade, take a canoe, rent a boat? All kinda options. Happy to help if you tell us a leele more about what you're looking for

I think there is some good coming from this -- a dialogue about the proper safety measures to take when out in remote areas. As much as we'd all like to think we know our way around, I'd bet we've all made one or more of the mistakes that lead to this tragedy. I know I have. Once you're familiar with something, complacency can set in. Once you get it in your head you know the ropes, you might not think things through and just head on out. As sad as this situation is, it's a good reminder that things can go wrong, even in the relatively tame Ozarks where you're probably never more than a mile away from a house or a road. So cough up your survival prep ideas. What do you have in your bag when you head out for just another fishing or camping trip? I'm talking things that don't run on batteries.

I just adore a shore lunch of ho-made caviar and a '96 Krug Clos D'Abonnay.

Just going from memory -- but I thought the original article said temps in the 20s?

Saw this earlier. Hard to know just what happened, but I can see heading out on a nice day for a short hike, getting crossed up then surprised by the weather. No cell, no GPS, nobody missing you until after dark. Tough situation. Sad. I think there are two more kids and mom left.

How much you want? I know a guy dat knows a guy dat could axe for a favor.

Yeah, I called in a few favors.

Oh goody.

x2. They outta be embarrassed to put nonsense like that out there. Should read 'Scheduled for discontinuance due to jacked-up priorities.'

Yep. A lot of satisfaction comes from ho-made stuff.

I use what I like not what's trendy. I like a well-built product most of all. Second consideration is the company and it's customer service. Third, but not always third, is styling. I'm a bit of a reverse snob--latest and greatest is a negative to me. I need a product to be proven before I buy, and I'm a natural-born skeptic so I don't go in for something because it's new and hot. It will typically be more tradional than cutting edge. I've got Orvis Battenkill reels and vest, Bean waders, Simms boots, and a hodge-podge of rods -- mostly ho-made. I stick with proven flies--and could care less about the latest thing. And, I don't give a rip what the other guy uses because that doesn't make the man

It's not about the market or ecological value of ginseng -- it's about pulling up plants on park land. I suspect they are doing this because of a particularly bad problem in that park. Kudos to them if they figured out an economical way to reduce the thefts.

On a Stimulator no less. Those trout obviously haven't read the book on how they're supposed to do it.

Clark was pretty smart announcing GM and HC would both report to him. That left all doors open. They can tailor the jobs to each person's skills and desires now. Hope to see a quality staff come pretty quickly. Nice to see the sense of urgency. It's a new era.

Leadwood?

My recollection was that the affair was substantiated, but a quick Google didn't turn up anything more than 'alleged affair', etc. So, I'll back away from that. Sure thought he had though. Poor guy's stuck with that no matter what.

Thanks for the link -- it's kind of along the lines of what I've done with chard. I have a hard time watching Ann Burrell's show -- it's like chewing foil for me. But... my channel surfing will come to a screeching halt for Giada, especially when she's whisking polenta in a peasant shirt.

Yeah, that's always been the rub. But all he ever did was win games with the donkeys -- and yes, it wasn't like a textbook NFL QB. He's one of those guys that needs to be on the field somewhere with somebody.

I just meant he was a high pick QB that didn't pan out. The other variables you mention are always in the mix too. Yes, Kelly was in that class along with a dude named Elway (and Tony Eason). And....Blackledge was the 'right' pick based on college stats. You just never know -- it's like the stars need to be aligned right or something. Tebow is an interesting guy. I can't help but think his work ethic and sheer desire are contagious, so pretty valuable for any team. I like the way he willed the Broncos into wins toward the end of 2011. Honestly I'd love it if he ended up here because I've always felt he could help about any team he's on. I could see him as a TE (don't know if he can catch), or a FB too. But, I'll readily admit I just flat like the guy and want him to succeed.

Billett -- looks darn good! Like the sound of that sauce. I've never really cared for black-eyed peas -- dirt is a pretty good way to describe the taste. How'd your wife fix the kale? I think I see some bacon in there...I don't remember ever eating it, but I grow and eat Swiss chard -- always prepared pretty simply with either chicken broth, white wine, Parmesan cheese, balsamic vinegar, bacon or a combination. We had baked focaccia with vine-ripened tomato puree, smoke-cured spicy pork sausage dressed with soft Italian cheese, monosodium glutamate, dextrose, sodium benzoate and lecithin as an emulsifier ala Totino's.

I think we're stuck with our owner.

Yeah Jerry, I know there are examples of good ones. Nobody remembers the bad ones though. Well, I remember one -- Blackledge. BTW Chief -- Shottenheimer resigned, wasn't fired. Not many wanted him to go, me included, but he got caught in an extramarital affair that sorta drug him down. Yeah Quill -- something like that. Or dangle that first pick out there and trade for somebody big to help us turn it around.

He certainly wasn't at peak but he got plenty done here. SF had Young coming up. Draft picks are always risky. I don't see a QB we can snag with our pick that's real exciting. And the chances of a rookie starter are miniscule. I'd like to spend the pick on a proven
