i vote for entertainment purposes...if it were me i'd say i hike 20km to get to a spot...that and it would throw off people trying to figure out where the place is...just my opinion

Definitions: Boarding: ....Any unnecessary contact with a player playing the puck on an obvious “icing” or “off-side” play which results in that player being knocked into the boards is “boarding” and must be penalized as such. In other instances where there is no contact with the boards, it should be treated as “charging.” 42.3 Major Penalty – The Referee, at his discretion, may assess a major penalty, based on the degree of violence of the impact with the boards, to a player or goalkeeper guilty of boarding an opponent (see 42.5). 42.5 Game Misconduct Penalty - When a major penalty is imposed under this rule for a foul resulting in an injury to the face or head of an opponent, a game misconduct shall be imposed. Maybe a game misconduct was not deserved...but rules were followed

Trying to get my attractors done and playing with some emergers right now... Lafontaine's double wings & variations... Lafontaine's Mohawk... Emerger...

The only downside I found was the spool issue like you said. But in reality it only takes about 2 minutes to put it on a spool if you have a power drill, so it's not that big of pain IMO. The odd occassion when your thread doesn't stick in the bobbin thread holder after you cut your thread and your bobbin flies across the room is kind of pain as well. Had to relearn how to tie for a bit, but I wouldn't tie on anything else now.

TSN has Pierre Macquire...and anyone is better than having Marc Crawford and his high pitched, I love Being Erica color commentating. I refuse to listen to games when they are/were on. But I have to agree, Cuthbert is one of the better ones out there.

Those are them. Thanks Mike

Haha - for cutties sure, but not spooky browns in skinny water!

From the picture I saw, they are still are round but are meant to be tied in like a post. Hard to tell the exact shape, as it was on a fully dressed fly.

Ahhh right. That's where I saw them...thanks. That's what I am wondering as well. But even if they only fit on hoppers I still think they would be awesome, granted they land half softly...

I stumbled across these a while ago on the internet, but I can't seem to find them again... Anyone know where I can find them? Seem like a good idea...no need to use floatants at all. Thanks

I'd go with a 1...have a 1.5 on my 4, and there's 100 yards of gel on it. Nice reels

Depends where you plan on using the rod and the amount of backing capacity you anticipate that you will need. Smaller creeks you could get away with limited backing, whereas, the bow you may want to have more where the fish have more room to run...once you decide on that, it should help narrow down your options.

Korkers are a good boot. They feel like you are wearing very light hiking boots. But they aren't indestructable, I have blown through 2 pairs in two seasons. But with the one year warranty that they have, I really have only blown through 1 pair in two years.

I don't understand how the homeless are able to get their vaccinations before the high risk groups who want to get it who are forced to wait in 6+ hour lines...especially with the shortage of vaccinations right now. Who pays the taxes in this situation?

Well, it looks like I won't be going to be drinking any beers or eating any food with preservatives now... :derby racer:

Sorry if you thought I was misinterpreting/misconstruing your comment. My intention was to show that they do have an educational background more than what most people assume or are aware of.

Terry, as I said, I have spoken to MD's (one of them being my family doctor). So i have heard each side of the argument directly, allowing me to make an informed personal decision that I am comfortable with, just as you are. If you tune out those sources, you are cutting yourself short in my opinion, therefore not allowing you to make an informed decision. You are right, that is where I am coming from re: the Vitamin D and B12. Unfortunately, I have not seen that article in today's paper, so thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Ingredients of the Canadian approved vaccine: Thimerosal,a mercury derivative is added as preservative. Each dose contains 2.5 micrograms of mercury. Other ingredients include: squalene, vitamin E, polysorbate 80 and trace amounts of egg proteins, formaldehyde, sodium deoxycholate and sucrose http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/dhp-mps/prodpharma/...ccin-eng.php#a5 Can't tell me that formaldehyde is good for the body.....

I agree that they are not specialists. But they do have to learn all about the body, it's functions, signs of diseases and what the diseases are, as well as treating them, etc. More than most people realize and see..."because they just crack necks". So their opinions do carry some weight. Two of my family members are Chiropractors, so I know the amount of education that they recieve.

Another example of the media's influence and controlling what we hear... Watched a CTV special they had on this week regarding the flu. One lady a homepath, the other an ifectious disease specialist I believe. The question was asked if the vaccine was safe or not. Infectious disease guy spoke first, homeopath second, infectious guy was given a chance to rebuttle what she said, but they wouldn't let her defend against his claims afterwards...saying that they could "talk all day about it". If the average user did not fully understand all the options and treatments out there, they would be left thinking that the homeopaths way was less effective...maybe it is maybe it's not, but the user wasn't given all the facts to make an educated decision.

I have spoken to several MD's, spoken to my sister who is a nurse and is on the front lines and she has relayed information that she has seen and heard to me. Spoken to several Chiropractor's (not just Canadian ones), who are Dr.'s and recieve just as much education as MD's. So I have a been exposed to several different opinions and have made my judgement on what information I have gathered myself, not just what the media decided to tell me. RE: Vitamin D: (just one example, several more out there, if you choose to look and not wait to be spoon fed by the media) "There will always be threats of flu pandemics, real or created, and potentially toxic vaccines will continue to be peddled as the solution until enough people realize there’s a better, safer, saner way. You can break free of the drug-solution trap right now by following these natural health principles. I have not caught a flu in over two decades, and you can avoid it too, without getting vaccinated, by following these simple guidelines, which will keep your immune system in optimal working order so that you're far less likely to acquire the infection to begin with. Optimize your vitamin D levels. As I've previously reported, optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the TRUE culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself. This is probably the single most important and least expensive action you can take. I would STRONGLY urge you to have your vitamin D level monitored to confirm your levels are at a therapeutic level, which is between 50-65 ng/ml. I also recommend using a reliable vitamin D lab like Lab Corp, if you’re in the U.S. Sometime this fall, we hope to launch a vitamin D testing service through Lab Corp that will allow you to have your vitamin D levels checked at your local blood drawing facility, and relatively inexpensively. If you are coming down with flu like symptoms and have not been on vitamin D you can take doses of 50,000 units a day for three days to treat the acute infection. Some researchers like Dr. Cannell, believe the dose could even be as high as 1,000 units per pound of body weight for three days. However, most of Dr. Cannell's work was with seasonal and not pandemic flu. If your body has never been exposed to the antigens there is chance that the vitamin D might not work. However the best bet is to maintain healthy levels of vitamin D around 60 ng/ml." -source from mercola.com B12: Most naturopaths, homeopaths will have B12 at there disposal to give people, as well several multi vitamins have b12 in them. Again, one of many sources.... "Vitamin B12 deficiency leads to reduced numbers of white blood cells which causes increased susceptibility to infection. Recent research has shown that elderly patients with low vitamin B12 levels have impaired antibody response to bacterial vaccine..." In essence, from my understanding and research, B12 will help boost your immune system... Take a read around, and open your mind, that not everything needs to be treated by drugs. I never said "just" take some vitamins. I said do so along with the other precautions (proper rest, lots of water, washing hands, etc), so don't call me irresponsible. If anything you are irresponsible by not listening to both sides of the argument. Take my advice/opinion or not, I don't care, just don't want more people who are not completely informed to think there is only one solution to a "problem". I know two people who have had H1N1 and have come out the other hand just fine. One who planned to get the shot, the other had no intention of doing so. They both increased their vitamin D and B12, and are no worse for the wear.

Just increase your vitamin D intake to at least 2,000 units a day along with all the other precautions... If you get the flu, give yourself an injection of vitamin B12 that you can get over the counter. Government is stuck with hundreds of thousands of vaccines now that a majority of people are saying they aren't getting it. What are they to do? Scare the public to cover their asses, so they don't look like fools when they spent billions on a vaccine that was never used....

Haha - good to hear...
