* 8 quarts cold water * 1 turkey carcass, meat removed, leaving some crisp skin on if possible * Mirepoix: o 8 ounces onions, chopped o 4 ounces celery with tops, chopped o 4 ounces carrots, chopped o 2 small heads garlic, cut in half horizontally * Sachet d'epices: o 1 teaspoon or so black peppercorns, cracked o 6-8 parsley stems, chopped o 1 bay leaf o 1/4 tsp. dried thyme leaves o 1/4 tsp. dried tarragon leaves o 1/4 tsp. dried oregano leaves o 1/4 tsp. dried basil leaves o The above ingredients are placed into a 4" square of cheesecloth and tied into a sack, or use a metal tea ball. Break up the turkey carcass, and chop some of the larger bones in half. Put the carcass in the stockpot with the water and bring slowly to a simmer. Periodically skim off any scum that forms, and if you wish use a skimmer to skim off the fat. (This stock simmering process makes your house smell REALLY good!) Let this simmer for two hours. Add the mirepoix and sachet; tie the sachet closed with some twine and tie the long end of the twine to the handle of the pot; this makes the bag easier to retrieve. (A tea ball also works well.) Simmer for one more hour. Remember that during the simmering process, it's best not to stir the stock. The end result will be much clearer if it is not agitated while simmering. Strain thoroughly; the best way to do this is to ladle the stock out and pour it through a strainer which has been lined with a couple of layers of damp cheesecloth. If you're using the stock immediately, skim off as much fat as you can with a fat skimmer or a piece of paper towel, otherwise cool the stock right away by placing the container into an ice-water-filled sink, stirring to bring the hot liquid from the center to the sides of the container. Don't just put hot stock in the refrigerator; it won't cool enough to prevent possible multiplication of harmful bacteria. To defat the stock easily, refrigerate overnight, until the fat solidifies on the surface, then skim off. Makes about 6 quarts of stock.

As I was waiting at the intersection of 127st and Yellowhead this afternoon a guy gets out of his truck, pulls it out and does his business. This is a major intersection with at least 20 people that could see this jackass. Several people start honking at him but he just stood there oblivious to his observers. I guess you don't have to own a lawnmower.

There was another one at Edmonton Gardens May 9, 1969.

It's nice to see what's going on all over the world. You never know when or where your going to find that one secret pattern or tip. Actually Glen I signed up to that forum a while ago. I was considering a trip also. BTW, did I not put you onto Chris Dore? Never mind, I know I did. You can thank me with cash.

Ok, here's one for you Calgarians. Where is the Calgary Tower Located?

We heard you the first time. Sheesh......

I thought you were joking... http://www.ledzeppelin.com/show/july-29-1969

Oh yeah right back at you.. PER CAPITA THIS EQUATES TO: US -Population: 301,139,947 July 2007 est. 22,739,000,000 / 301,139,947 = $75.51 per capita CAN -Population: 33,390,141 (July 2007 est.) 3,713,000,000 / 33,390,141 = $111.20 per capita This all goes to show that Canada is 47% nicer than the United States. That's why you guys wear Canadian flags when you go backpacking. You're embarrassed to show how much you give to the International Monetary Fund.

This is the real story. http://www.cbc.ca/news/background/arming-the-world/ I was just trying to throw Rickr off track. Successfully hijacked too I must say!!!

LS I wasn't replying to your post #20, we just happened to post at the same time.

Wow, great fly Kritofr! Great contest, some real good stuff. I want to see Santa and the whole crew of reindeer now.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they could specifically pin the murders on Pickton, only that he was there and had something to do with. Not to be graphic, but the guy ran a pig farm with a slaughter house if you get my drift. I would imagine the evidence was quite overwhelming for the jury. Thus probably the reason for 2nd.

A lot of us were the people of those times, myself included. I remember having the drills in school, 1969 grade 1. Pretty scary *hit for a young child. I'm glad cooler minds prevailed as I think they do a lot more often than many of us realize. BTW, I'm sure every civilized country has pulled a Northwoods or two in their time. On a similar but somewhat sideways topic/hijack, anybody know why Canada has become the world's 6th largest arms supplier?

Not in Cuba anyways............

* 5 counts of second degree murder, enough is enough. Time to start handing out real sentences for real crimes. * If this guy was an employee of a business - 2 years in the slammer for the business owner for failing to provide for the safety of an employee. $50 says this guy was an alcoholic and the owner was aware of it.

And then there was Operation Northwoods. Kill your own, blame your own, then shoot up Cuba. Brilliant plan.

The states needs a quiet location to beat their prisoners of war and Cuba is close to home. They wouldn't want any of their "own" people on that island now would they? Somebody might see something they're not supposed to. Therefore, NO TRADE FOR YOU!!!! Crap, could you imagine what would happen if it really got out that Geneva Conventions were being busted left and right? Your up Rickr.

I'm surprised this topic hasn't come up on here yet. That guy (if in fact guilty) and his COMPANY should have the book thrown at them. A frickin cement truck? Can't get much more stupid.

That's funny you posted this contest. I just finished screwing around doing a mock Christmas fly for my daughter. Hook: Mustad 79580 #4 Thread: Black 6/0 Body: Red/Green Mylar Tinsel with a splash of Yellow Wing: Red Bucktail Throat: White Bucktail Hackle: White And a partridge in a pear tree………

You would just have all the non smokers whining and crying.

Thanks Fisherwoman. I think it will be much easier this time around. I don't drink anymore, seldom go to pubs, and work almost exclusively in Government/Municipal buildings. The less exposure the easier it is to do. I have been doing the mental preparedness thing for about 4 months. I didn't think fishing season was a good time to try so why not do it at Christmas, the most stressful time of year!!

I've been geared up to quit for some time. Funny thing is it's for the same reason you quit - kids. (And the fact most of the good access to bully fishing means you have to have good lungs.) Honestly AHC should have asylums for smokers. If you sign on the dotted line they lock you up for 30 days.
