How many ten dollar lures do you need to lose before the savings have been lost? The stuff might be fine, but you won't know for sure until it's too late. -
Tightly woven nylon clothing. It's the only way I could have stayed sane for 6 weeks in the Arctic summer. I need to dig out the photo where is looks like I have a fur shirt.

Definitely shop around for insurance. Keep in mind that there are a lot of variables that will impact the rate you pay. Just because your buddy got a great rate from company x doesn't mean you will, and that doesn't mean that he would get a better rate a company y then you. Part of your rate is made up from the experience that particular company has had in the past with your particular set of parameters.

I'll add a small point on the topic of metal v "plastic" in baitcasting reels. All of my baitcasters are aluminum, but my diawa linecounter is plastic and when it is really cold out I have no problem holding the reel in the palm of my hand. It's not often an issue, but something I do consider when it's early or late in the season.

For me it would be a topwater: Zara or a big jitter bug. And a 5inch soft-bodied swimbait on a half oz jighead to follow-up. The topwater isn't used if the water is more than 10ft deep and really doesn't put the most fish in the boat, but it sure is fun. I use a "big" x-rap (I think it's a 6inch saltwater version) if the topwaters are not drawing strikes/hook-ups.

Ever wonder what would happen if you crashed a modern car with a car from the 1950s? 1959 Chev vs 2009 Chev

Agreed. Do you turn to port or starboard at the bottom of the hour?

Logic would dictate the Blue jackets or wings would move to the eastern conference. Very little logic has been used by any of the people involved in this league for the last 20 years however.

Is it even possible for a guy who works on and flies planes to loose his man card? Good luck with the search. -
http://www.theglobeandmail.com/sports/hockey/atlanta-thrashers-moving-to-winnipeg/article2029179/ Atlanta Thrashers moving to Winnipeg STEPHEN BRUNT Globe and Mail Update Published Thursday, May. 19, 2011 8:57PM EDT Last updated Thursday, May. 19, 2011 9:07PM EDT An agreement to sell the National Hockey League’s Atlanta Thrashers to a Winnipeg group which plans to relocate the franchise to the Manitoba capital is done. Sources confirmed tonight that preparations are being made for an announcement Tuesday, confirming the sale and transfer of the Thrashers to True North Sports and Entertainment, which owns and operates the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League and the MTS Centre arena, which would become the NHL team’s new home. MORE RELATED TO THIS STORY AHL has a Plan B if NHL team returns to Winnipeg Thrashers fans plan rally to try to save team Alberta government won't commit to funding new Oilers arena Gary Bettman, the commissioner of the National Hockey League, is expected to travel to Winnipeg to make the news official. The announcement would end months of speculation about whether one of the NHL’s financially-troubled American sunbelt teams might move north, filling the void left when the Winnipeg Jets packed up and left for Phoenix in 1996, where they became the Coyotes. Much of the talk this spring had centred on that failing franchise, which was bought by the league after being placed in bankruptcy by its former owner Jerry Moyes in 2009. But sources in Winnipeg suggest that the Thrashers had in fact been the primary target of potential owners Mark Chipman and David Thomson all along, and that some months back, the NHL board of governors quietly approved the sale and transfer of the team, pending the negotiation of a purchase agreement between Atlanta Spirit LLC, the Thrashers’ owners, and True North. In the meantime, no potential owner materialized who was prepared to keep the team in Georgia, and local governments there showed no interest in propping up the Thrashers. “There seems to be a consensus there is going to be a team in Winnpeg,” former major league pitcher Tom Glavine, who had tried unsuccessfully to find new ownership for the hockey team in Atlanta, acknowledged last week. ““The question is who, and unfortunately the bullseye seems to be on the Thrashers’ back.” When it appeared this spring that the Coyotes might also be in play, after a deal to sell the team to Matthew Hulsizer underwritten by a municipal bond issue fell apart in the face of political opposition from the Goldwater Institute, the Winnipeg group sought to take advantage of what suddenly seemed a buyers’ market, with two teams available and no other potential owners or relocations sites on the horizon. After the City of Glendale agreed to cover $25-million of the Coyotes losses for the 2011-2012 season, and the NHL opted to operate the club in Arizona for at least one more year, True North’s full focus returned to Atlanta, and a deal was hammered out this week. Even before those final negotiations took place, the potential Winnipeg owners concluded an agreement with the Manitoba government which will allow revenues from a sports bar with slot machine to be used for improvements to the arena, and to be used towards the debt service on the building. That’s consistent with what Manitoba premier Greg Sellinger told reporters earlier this week, when he said that the provincial government had no interest in subsidizing an NHL team, but that the province had financially supported the renovation of the MTS Centre in the past, and would continue to be willing to do so.

That does not look like any airline food I've had before... and I've been on a 10plus hour flight. Before I read that it was a driving range I was wondering if the netting was there to prevent people from casting. Definitely an incredible part of the world to visit, as long as I had someone in the know for a guide (not so subtle hint). -
Small world. think I know where your boat is. Is that where you live? I used to live on 5th Ave.

If you are buying from a dealer they may have better rates. Read the fine print though, the lowest rates offered are usually for 2 or 3 year term.
