Pontoon coatings?
Curious if anyone has any info on coatings and such which may be applied to pontoons to increase their durability, etc.
None needed
If you buy a good grade boat, you won't have to worry about it. Check the denier rating and the oz of material on the seams. Those will normally tell the tale. Not sure of a coating, usually they put skid pads on to help chaffing of frame. But rarely is needed. My 16' cataraft is one of the first production catarafts on the market. Now it's (I'm amazed after I did the math and figured out it's age wrong) roughly 15 years old!!!! It's still going strong, and the tubes are in excellent shape for all the use they've had (have been on some of the US's toughest whitewater runs). Never had any extra treatment nor extra skid pads.
Buy a quality set of tubes/boat you'll have no worry.
In defense of cheap, poorly constructed pontoon boats Not everyone can afford Skookum, besides I have too many white elephants getting in the way, already. :(
Hey, Pop, lets get a canoe. So I invest a grand in an Old Town canoe that sets in my yard, unused. Make a great planter when I finally get around to punching a few drain holes in the bottom.
I have a Sage Noodle spey rod (thanks, Russ), a gift from the wife. Sits in the corner, mostly unused.
The list goes on
And I wont even discuss yesterdays hor$e$ - Warning! A quick trip to financial insolvency! :whoa:
Nooooo, this time I wanted to start at the bottom and work up. The wife wanted to purchase a PAC 800 and I nixed the deal, preferring a full set of BFGs for the truck and a pair of el cheapo ODC Sport Boats (@$200 each). Worked out to about the same amount of money. The pair work just great for dragging leeches around the lake with the kid and I envision a few trips on the Skagit when the flows mellow. Nothing too extreme here
So back to the question: Anyone have any thoughts on coatings, etc.? Any Chemical Engineers out there with ideas?
Well, I can't really afford them either. I just have enough connections from all my years using these things I usually can buy the pieces and have frames built for WELL below most people buy a Pac9. Like I've tried to say, I've been running these things well before they were made for fishing. So I have some connections that help when it comes to custom building.
But seriously, what you can do is email ODC to see if they can get you some "swatches" of their material long and wide enough to cover the bottom like you'd want. Or, even contact other companies as well. Then, get some of the "boat glue" that can be found at whitewater outfitters. It's a glue that can be applied to a boat UNDERWATER and will setup and seal a leak. You can generously apply this to the swatch you get and put on yourself. No spray/paint coating will be better then an actual piece of material the boat is made from. (plus, not sure if they could stand the heat of a spray on coating lol). Heck, you could also get a big inner tube from a garage, and cut it and add to bottom. Know it's not fancy, but helps take some of the shock of an initial hit instead of the fabric. Use the glue I mentioned. It's GREAT stuff. Actually, you could even email Bill at Skookum and see if he'd sell you a patch. I know he adds those to his boats. Just tell him what you're doing. He's great to work with, even if you're not using his boats.
You da man! This is the kind of stuff I'm looking for...
Do you think this boat glue would work with kevlar fabric? Does anyone, off hand, know of a source for kevlar?
LOL, this stuff is GOOD
Say it this way, it'll stick your hand to the boat if you wait long enough. LOL. I'm pretty sure it will. I doubt you'll need kevalar, but you never know. I'd try calling fabric shops, see if they can get you in touch with distributors. They may be able to find it for you. I bet it's probably expensive though. But this glue is great, will work on anything. I just ran out (luckily, it was for someone ELSES's boat, not mine), I lent my last tube to a buddy. But will get some more once I'm healed up enough to use my boat.
You're more then welcome for the help.
WOW - You really got the propeller spinning on top of my thinking cap. And boy do I love the web! Did a yahoo search on kevlar fabrics and found a mother lode.
I can see it now, my squished Nash Rambler of a hot rod banana boat floating down the Skagit to the oohs and awes of fellow steelheaders.
This is definitely gonna be a winter project for one of the boats.
OBTW, thanks!
Super glue, Kevlar???
Triple M, I wouldn't think you'd need to strengthen your poontoons to run them "kiddie pools".:hehe:
Well the "kiddies" have moved from switchblades and the occasional zipgun to uzis and mac-10s.
Nah, just thinking protection in an increasing unfriendly world. Twenty or thirty years ago access was far easier to come by. Today, with most everything closed to trespass, floating is mandatory to find your few inches of space. There are some nasties out there ready to ruin your day, hence the kevlar Titanic.:rolleyes:
The closer I get to the double nickles the more fond I become of my old hide. ...and the less immortal I feel.:o
Progess report??
Hey MMM,
how did ya make out with your kevlar project? I'm confronting the same dilemma, nasty river with many 'foreign objects', and no lack of "kiddies" on the shore with all manner of projectiles...:devil:
Any details appreciated.-
Hey MMM
Instead of expensive kevlar how about cutting up your kid's crazy carpets? all kidding aside the material is cheap, readily available, and low drag

- Description
This is a "doomed" outcrop of the Miocene-aged (~14 Ma) Calvert Formation on the western shore of Chesapeake Bay. "Bed 14," a distinctive fossiliferous unit, is exposed here thanks to the effort of one of the local landowners. In a month or two, this entire outcrop will be permanently covered with "hard stabilization" intended to stymie cliff retreat.
The outcrop features shelly skeletal material and whale bone, charcoal, and several varieties of trace fossils.
This final GigaPan was taken to illustrate a more weathered aspect to the cliffs. Though not completely natural, this surface (unlike the other 7 in the series) wasn't washed down with water prior to having its portrait taken.

HTC One Data/HDMI Cables
Hey, what's up guys, JChun geek here with AccessoryGeeks.com. And if you are on this page you probably have the HTC One phone and at this page we carry different types of data cables and unlike other people we do carry a variety of different colors as well so you have huge selection to choose from and for me particularly my favorite color is red so I probably go with the red data cable. Here, the red and they're only on $3.99 on sale right now so definitely take advantage of that and it's good to also have other maybe people on the work in your office and want of people to differentiate your date cable from others then you can also buy it for that purpose. We carry every different brand that you can think, we have LG, Blackberry, micro USB data cables and it doesn't necessarily have to be an HTC data cable in order to work with your HTC One phone. They're just brand names so they are more durable, a lot better in quality and we do have them for great lower prices as well so you may have to pay just the dollar more or so to get a brand name which is pretty good bargain and I always highly recommend OEM, but you can't go wrong with any of the products that we carry since they all in pretty good quality and they all works as the same so do work to charge your phone and also sync data of course the HTC One does have the capability to do so which is why that will work and we have a variety of different cables so we even carry like flat data cables, so those are a lot easier to kind of manage and kind to keep organize and we even have data cables that come on different adapters so not only will it charge your HTC One phone, but it does have other adapters to maybe charge an iPhone or you know older model phones or things like that just in case someone else in your family has a different phone model so it's always good to have a spare maybe you travelled then certainly lost it then you can just purchase one of these inexpensive ones we have free shipping on top of that as well so definitely check it out. We have everything to cover your budget and anything that you're looking for from retractable cables to flat cables to colored cables so check it out guys and thanks for listening or thanks for reading. Alright, take care guys and remember You Got It From a Geek!

Monster Turbine Pro Copper In-Ear Headphones
" I was selected to review these headphones in exchange for honest review, that review follows: I have used a lot of different headphones of varying prices and have been enjoying the Monster Turbine Pro Copper headphones ever since I received them. In short, they are now my IEMs of choice. Before even listening to the headphones, I was impressed by the packaging and the way I could..." --schalliol
Miles Davis Trumpet High Performance In-ear Headphones
"Sound is neutral with a slight mid bass tilt. Highs and lows are well extended. Sound stage is large for an iem. The bass has some impact without being boomy. The treble is clear without roughness. Don't pull hard on the cable. The strain relief is not strong. Hold the Trumpet by the "mouthpiece" end when handling them. If you have the..." --Merfolk
Monster Turbine Pro Gold In-Ear Headphones
" Well, this has been quite the turn of events! I had auditioned a full-sized Monster headphone, which I felt rather negative about, but the Turbine Pro Gold (TPG from here on) caught me quite off guard. Overall, the TPGs are excellent sounding, have superior build quality to many earbuds and IEMs I've owned/seen and offer a wide array of tips for fitted comfort, so let's explore what makes..." --Landis
iBeats Headphones with ControlTalk From Monster® - In-Ear Noise Isolation - Black
"So I'm relatively new to the world of high end headphones, and I've started by experimenting with over the ear cans, I'll move onto IEMs eventually, but I feel like these guys get a bad rap. As for what I like, I like to listen to my electronic music, so the bright (and not overshadowed) highs and thumpy bass make for a good, enjoyable time. I wish the mids were as present, but this is..." --AtomikSound
Monster Miles Davis Tribute Jazz In-Ear Headphones
" I would say that burn-in is a must for this earphone. Before burn-in, the earphone sounded unimpressive. I almost wanted to return or sell it off. It sounded so much better after burn-in. The first thing that I noticed is the bass. There is a good quantity of it (once you get a good seal) but it is not muddy at all. It was very punchy. Using it for movies proved quite..." --regleo
Monster Diddy Beats In-Ear Headphones
"I bought these a year ago for $150. If you have a decent home theater system and you have a club, jazz or disco preset, that's what these sound like. They have a fun grungy club sound to them. I think they are overpriced for what you get, at the time I didn't know any better comming from apple earbuds and JVC Gummies. The bad think about these is they are HEAVY. I weighed theses against..." --JonnyRocket
Monster Gratitude In-Ear Headphones
"Thought I'd give a little love to this iem and write a quick review for it. In my opinion, its one of the closest that monster has gotten to its typical description of "clear highs, smooth mids, and punchy dynamic bass." Build Quality: These are definite build better than some of the other monster iems. Feels sturdy in its metal housing and the right angle jack feels sturdy. The right..." --Cotnijoe
Stanton Dynaphase Sixty
"a tad muddy, but it can be easily fixed with abit of equalizing they're louder then stadium speakers with duel drivers there is a woofer and tweeter in each can, so that= loads of bass and tremble bass tons of bass to go around treble it has it, but that about all I can say sound they favor highs over mids, but 'they're still well balanced sound stage love it deep and rich Comfort fine..." --voodoo do-er
Stanton Dynaphase Fifty
" What can I say, vintage. Honestly well worth the $30 I payed for these. They have a nice sound to them in the $30 price range, not Hi-Fi by any means, but fun to wear around. " --GrandZechs

Poor Attendance, Poor Teams or Poor Planning?
Posted on 14 May 2011 by Christopher Rowe.
In case no one noticed, Major League Baseball fans have been staying away from the ballpark in droves. Well, to clarify, fans have been avoiding certain ballparks while packing into record sellouts in other venues. Is it the economy? Perhaps it is the exorbitant cost of the average ticket plus parking plus concessions? Family night at the ballpark used to be a fun and affordable experience. The...

Improving the world through design
Scott Spark was on your radio for the last Sundaysin 2013 and in the New Year's resolution spirit he was asking, "how can we make the world a better place?"
A lot of us think we know how to make the world around us a better/safer/more sensible place to live in but, not many of us actually do anything about it enacting the change we want to see. Well, not usually much more than grumble to friends and family.
By contrast, TRISTAN COOKE and TOM NELSON are two young lads who are living on different sides of the world and critiquing the way businesses and governments shape our lives. They've also been quite successful in proving that individuals can make a difference.

I applaud Sen Paul for taking a stand that I think every American should be interested in. As I have said before if the American President whether a Democrat or a Republican has the power to be judge, jury and executioner what authority doesn't he have.
I do remember a few years back the indignation and outrage Democrats had when President Bush dared to spy on Americans without warrants and torture prisoners...............well I ask............. why are not those same Senators joining Senator Paul in his fillibuster where the issues are far more serious. This is not a partisan issue. All the Senators, Democrat, Republican, or Independent should be supporting the fillibuster and speaking on it.
I might not always agree with Sen Paul on the issues but he has this one right and I admire him for standing up and doing what he felt he had to do to bring this issue to the forefront.

Measuring approximately 3 ¾" tall, each Vintage 2010 Series 01 figure features multiple points of articulation, and is accompanied by character-specific accessories and a nameplate display base.
Vintage 2010 Series 01 - Case of 12 will include the following:
1x Dengar: Clad in jumpsuit, piecemeal Imperial-style armor, backpack and head-wrap, the scarred and grizzled Dengar is quipped with his Valken-38 blaster rifle. Dengar's pocked countenance is reflective of the monstrous swoop Bike accident incurred during the former's attempt to surpass his rival, Han Solo. Dengar was later was established as a genetically-reformatted Imperial assassin turned renegade, counted among the handful of bounty hunters charged with the task of finding the Millennium Falcon. Later still, Dengar used his modified JumpMaster-5000 Scout, the Punishing One, to rescue the badly wounded Boba Fett from the Pit of Carcoon subsequent to Fett's escape from the gullet of the Sarlacc.
1x Hoth Leia: Clad in her white and cream-colored Hoth fatigues, Leia is equipped with a small blaster pistol. Following the Battle of Yavin, Leia served as one of the commanders of the Rebel Alliance's Echo Base on Hoth. She attempted to convince Han Solo to remain with the Alliance. When the Imperials attacked Hoth, Leia helped to coordinate the evacuation of the installation, although a collapsed corridor prevented her from reaching her own escape vessel, and Leia was instead routed to the Millennium Falcon; in the course of outmaneuvering the Imperials, she and the rest of the crew of the Falcon ultimately sought refuge in the Cloud City.
1x Hoth Hangar Han Solo: Clad in his standard attire along with a heavy, fur-collared overcoat, Han Solo is equipped with welder devise and welder-mask. Following the Battle of Yavin, Han Solo and Chewbacca elected to remain in the company of the Rebel Alliance at the Echo Base installation on Hoth. In the course of reconnaissance, Solo attacked and inadvertently initiated the self-destruction of an Imperial Probe Droid, and later rescued the Wampa-ravaged Luke Skywalker. Intending to leave to leave the Rebellion to preempt Jabba's bounty hunters, Han Solo works feverishly alongside the cantankerous Chewbacca to apply necessary repairs to the chronically wore-for-the-wear Millennium Falcon.
1x Bespin Luke: Clad in his brown Bespin fatigues, Luke Skywalker is equipped with lightsaber and blaster & holster. Having reached a crucial point in his training, Luke Skywalker was prompted by the ghostly Obi-Wan to seek out the ancient Yoda. As the training slowly progressed, the exhausted, skeptical Skywalker was astounded to witness the feats made capable by Yoda's ponderous mastery of the Force. However, Luke's attachment to his friends created a problematic, ultimately unconquerable problem, prompting him, against Yoda's strident advice, to hastily leave Dagobah for the Cloud City of Bespin, where Skywalker suffered a demoralizing defeat at the hands of Darth Vader.
2x Darth Vader: Clad in his grim black regalia with distinctive skull-face helmet, Darth Vader is outfitted with cloth skirt and cape, and is equipped with his red lightsaber. Sustained by a mechanized life support system and prosthetics, the battered and disfigured Sith Lord Darth Vader is both the apprentice and enforcer of Emperor Palpatine, however, his Imperial caseload is compromised by his desire to capture and recruit his offspring Luke Skywalker. Initially caught off-guard by Luke's willing surrender to the Imperials as a gesture intended to prompt the redemption of Anakin Skywalker, Vader duels against his son while the cackling Palpatine eagerly looks on.
1x Cloud Car Pilot: Clad in a white and yellow uniform with a mushroom-shaped, visored, red and white helmet, the pasty mustache-adorned Cloud Car Pilot is equipped with blaster & holster. A distinctive atmospheric vessel utilized by Bespin personnel, the Cloud Car is identified by the twin tapering, armored pods flanking the Quadex Kyromaster engine which enables the Cloud Car to reach a maximum speed of 1,500 kph. Seating a single pilot, the Cloud Car's pressurized left pod provided its occupant with advanced navigational systems and communications gear.
1x AT-AT Commander: Clad in specialized officer with goggles, helmet and computerized chest plate, the AT-AT Commander is equipped with blaster pistol & holster. AT-AT Commanders oversaw the crews of the Empire's monolithic All Terrain Armored Transports. During the beginning of the Empire Strikes Back, the Imperials learned of the Rebel occupation on the frozen world of Hoth. The Empire descended en masse, raining hell and destruction on the Rebels and the impromptu, poorly fortified Echo Base.
1x Boba Fett: Clad in his battered Mandalorian armor, Boba Fett is outfitted with jetpack and fabric cape, and is equipped with a blaster pistol. Conceived during the Clone Wars in the mysterious cloning facility on Kamino, Boba inherited from his "father", the legendary Jango Fett, his blaster-deflecting, lightsaber-resistant Mandalorian armor. Boba Fett was among the bounty hunters summoned by Darth Vader for the task of tracking the Millennium Falcon. Having fulfilled this mission, tracking the Falcon to Cloud City, Fett was given custody of the carbonite-frozen Han Solo, enabling the bounty hunter collect the lofty bounty placed on the smuggler by Jabba the Hutt.
1x C-3P0: A protocol droid geared specifically for interaction with organic life forms, C-3PO is outfitted with a TranLang III Communicator module and an AA-1 VerboBrain which grant him access to more than six million forms of communication, by virtue of which C-3PO interprets, negotiates, and eases any potential instances of culture shock. C-3PO accompanied his omnipresent astromech counterpart, R2-D2---the latter carrying the holographic distress message intended for Obi-Wan Kenobi---from the besieged Tantive IV to the barren surface of Tatooine.
1x Dak (not currently pictured): Ultimately proving incompatible withy the rigid discipline required by the Jedi Order, Dak left the order and attempted to convince female Cathar Jedi Juhani, whom Dak loved one-sidedly, to do the same. Disgruntled over the rejection and disillusioned in general, Dak, leaving Dantooine, was drawn to the Dark Side and was thusly prompted to join the Sith Academy on Korriban.
1x 4-LOM: A slender, dark-hued protocol droid with an ominous insectoid head, 4-LOM is equipped with his BlasTech LJ-90 Concussion Rifle. 4-LOM ("For Love Or Money") was reprogrammed by Jabba the Hutt's technicians into a kill-ready bounty hunter unit, a function for which his heightened speed and intelligence were extremely well suited. 4-LOM was eventually partnered with the Gand bounty hunter Zuckuss, and became obsessed with gleaning the latter's uncanny power of intuition. 4-LOM and Zuckuss were gathered among their fellow bounty hunters aboard the Executor when Darth Vader announced the Millennium Falcon bounty.

Binghamton University hosts holiday drives for families in need
BINGHAMTON, NY – Every year, Binghamton University students, faculty and staff host numerous holiday drives to give back to the community and those in need. There are a number of programs scheduled for the coming weeks to give everyone in the Binghamton area the opportunity to feel the holiday spirit.
Hand-to-Heart Holiday Project
1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 8, in the College-in-the-Woods (CIW) Commons Room, CIW Dining Hall
The Hand-to-Heart Holiday Project, an annual holiday drive organized by Residential Life and the National Residence Hall Honorary, allows students and staff to donate gifts to children in need this holiday season by filling a gift bag for a child up to 12 years old. The Salvation Army has received well over 1,000 requests this year for gift bags from families in need. Gifts specifically for the Wyoming Conference Children's Home should be purchased for children aged infant through independent teen.
Chanukah Toy Drive
6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10 in the Tillman Lobby, University Union
This Chanukah, students plan to light up hundreds of lives through the annual Binghamton University Chanukah Toy Drive. All toys will be delivered to children suffering from cancer. Individuals can contribute by visiting http://www.JewishBu.com/ToyDrive. Each year the drive has exceeded its previous goals; after raising $10,000 worth of toys last year, this year the goal is to raise $11,000 worth of toys for distribution. The Toy Drive is a joint project of Chabad with the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and the Sigma Delta Tau sorority. Close to 15 other groups and clubs on campus have joined as co-sponsors.
Operation SAnta
11:30 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 11, in the Old Union Hall, University Union
The 24th annual Student Association Holiday Drive, "Operation SAnta," is a program that provides offices and organizations with the opportunity to sponsor a family in need. Sponsors are asked to state how many family members they are able to buy gifts for, and the program works to match them up from a list put together by the Binghamton City School District. "They get to go out and buy gifts for the families and wrap them, which is fun for everyone involved," said Francesca Lucia, a student involved with Operation SAnta. "They bring their gifts to our Operation SAnta celebration in December, where they get to meet with members of the Binghamton School District." The gifts are then delivered to the families directly through the schools, Lucia said. "Last year we had a pretty large turnout," Lucia said. "We are hoping to match or exceed that this year."
Helping Hands Food Drive to Benefit CHOW
Every year, the Community Hunger Outreach Warehouse (CHOW) hosts its Helping Hands Food Drive to feed the hungry in Broome County. This program, which collects non-perishable food items around campus, provides food to over 30 food pantries and 35 soup kitchens in the area. Also, throughout November, food barrels were placed in various dining halls on campus as part of Sodexo's Campus Department Challenge. These efforts resulted in a collection of over 770 lbs. of food for CHOW, to use to restock their pantry shelves.
Toys for Tots Campaign
Recently, Binghamton University's Physical Facilities department presented a check for $3,700, along with dozens of toys, to the Toys for Tots campaign. Each year employees hold a number of fund-raising efforts throughout the year, including the annual John Mangino golf tournament. Due to the dedicated efforts of Physical Facilities employees, Binghamton University has become a key contributor to the annual Toys for Tots campaign.

ZOPE!!! I've started playing with zope on my home pc. it's VERY nice. I've had some ideas for a cool piece of software, built on zope (or a similar web platform). Just got some thinking to do about the finer points. There might be a business model somewhere down this road.

One of many results of an educational system that ignores history, or tries to "re-write" it according to an "agenda", is that it can bite you in the behind when their significance is overlooked.
I never realized the following nuance:Imagine if No Korea or Iran scheduled a nuclear test for Dec. 7 or Sept 11? Except if they did that it would probably be with full knowledge of the significance of the dates.September 17, 2009, the date when the Obama administration scrapped plans for a missile shield based in Poland (supported by a radar installation in the Czech Republic). Some sort of alternative system will eventually be put in place, but the initial decision (and, doubtless, subsequent hesitation) was seen in the region as a statement of weakness in the face of Russian pressure. The fact that it was announced on the seventieth anniversary of the USSRs 1939 invasion of Poland a date well-remembered in a part of the world that knows its history only added a perception of American ignorance to American weakness.

He Always liked Guns?
So this morning a player in the National Football League killed his girlfriend. Then drove to his stadium and in front of others shot and killed himself. It is a terrible thing. An innocent life taken and a child orphaned. Yet selfish dung heap that I am. Only thing that jumped out at me in the espn news story with the alleged quote from a friend saying he always liked guns. What The Flock? Had he murdered by garrote and then hung himself, would the news organizations have said He always liked rope?
And is it me or does it seem like an abnormally high number of pro football players kill themselves.
Your thoughts for discussion please.

Bengals by a field goal.
Bengals by a field goal.
April 27 to 29
Love the helmet! Bengals by 14. Lack of cornerback will burn us here.
35-14 BUNGALS. They love to throw it and have some great weapons, and QB. We have one rushers and one starting CB and one back up, with Marshall sitting out. It will be close early but we will be down by 7 at half and RT will have a few miscomunications with his new WRs and turn the ball over a few times in the 2nd half.
Let's go...24-17 Bengals...
20 - 17 Miami
*******The NFL is a Coaches League*******
Miami 45
Bungals 13
52-3 Dolphins.
Hartline breaks his own receiving yards record for a single game with 525 yds and 2 TDs. Tannehill throws for 625 yards with 4 TDs, Bush/Miller combine for 350 yards rushing. Thigpen runs back a punt and Nolan Carroll has 3 picks and takes one to the house.
---------- Post added at 02:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:27 PM ----------
LOLOLOLO, okay, okay, maybe that Nolan Carroll part was over the top.
"Watching Dan Marino throw the football is like watching Michaelangelo paint the Sistine Chapel... You talk about championship courage, you talk about a will to win... a flame burns within that man Dan Marino... What a joy it's been to watch that man play football."
- Mad Dog (Jim Mandich)
Miami grinds out on the ground, eating up time of possession. Tannehill has success in the play action game. We keep Cinci's offense off the field by eating up close to 40 minutes of TOP. We win 20-14. Tannehill 16/23 180, 1 TD. Bush/ Miller/ DT combine for 230 yards on the ground.

38-28 Miami in a thriller

For a new take on huevos, try your eggs baked right in a pastry. This dreamy crescent tart is seasoned with chipotle powder and oregano and served with black beans, fire-roasted tomato sauce, cilantro and queso fresco. Buenos dias, indeed.
Queso fresco is a creamy, white Mexican cheese that crumbles easily and can be found in the cheese aisle of most supermarkets. Shredded Monterey Jack cheese can be substituted as well.
Short on time? Serve the egg tarts with purchased salsa and refried beans.

|Worldwide Flyfishing Discussion Talk flyfishing with members around the world!
|Topic Review (Newest First)
RE:Calling all Canadians!
Many thanks to everyone's advice. I will certainly check out the web sites and consider openings in Ottawa. Any other web site URLs would be most welcome. I heard the other day that my family & I would have enought "points" to emigrate, if I came out with a job already offered.
Thanks again,
RE:Calling all Canadians!
That would be my fault... I lost my inbox a while back and your request may have been a casualty! I'll definitely keep you in the circulation as I work out a few details over the weekend.
The Guild is a group "by the people for the people" as they say. It's a cooperative association of authors and aspiring authors who work together to provide top quality published flyfishing stories for the web. In it's charter year, the venue will be to generate a sponsor-funded Dream Trip drawing for a lucky contributor each annual season.
You will be able to see a new category called "The Guild Member's Area" once I switch your account over to that group. This is where we will post new stories for each other to review and offer constructive comments, praise, etc.
It will be the shared responsibility of the authors, myself, Jeff, and other members to find a sponsor or group of sponsors to generate $100 worth of advertising support to publish the article. Once published, the author will receive a drawing ticket for the annual Guild Dream Trip drawing. I suspect that the first drawing will result in a modest trip, but with time the prize could become very significant. The only obligation of winning will be - a featured article describing the prize trip! If the trip is declined, the winner is free to do what they wish with the money. The goal will be to arrange a trip with cooperating lodges and guides that could not be matched by the cash alone.
A very complementary sidebar or banner will be provided for each sponsor in the layout of the story. The $100 sponsor will get full stage, partials will share the sponsorship with other banners / sidebars, etc.
It hasn't been a problem getting great stories to publish... and the right thing to do with these generous contributions is make a forum for giving back something to the folks who contribute. As authors of published articles, you would be eligible for certain discounts from many manufacturers and would be likely to receive test equipment once in a while in addition to the prize drawing.
The Guild is not designed to earn money for the site, it's designed to be a fun way to contribute content with some perks for doing so. If we all put some energy into it, the returns will intensify - it's up to the Guild members themselves to make it work! If you're like me, you enjoy just getting your story published, but we might as well make it fun and rewarding.
I'll put other plans aside and get this set up over the weekend. As Guild members, feel free to comment on the organization of the tools as well as the goals or guidelines of *your* Guild as we move ahead.
thanks and very glad to have you!

Well, I did send an e-mail about the Writers' Guild... but, unfortunately, have not heard back.
I shall content myself with basking in your reflected glory, Trutta! One of these days I hope to visit some of those lovely brookies, and maybe meet a few personally!

And yes, Trutta, I believe we were in a car together this weekend... :^)
...and our mutual friend Rainmaker invented the Royal Usual. A triumph of presentation over imitation, I believe he called it!
RE:Calling all Canadians!
Ottawa is a good recommendation. I used to live there then i came out west to Calgary. Calgary has many of the same attributes mentionned for Ottawa. It's also a GREAT trout fishing mecca, with the Bow river at hand and multiple other streams and lakes available within reasonable travel. Montana and South East British Columbia lakes & rivers are also part of the offering.
Great Skiing in the Rockies, Bannf is close by with 4 major ski resorts.
It's definitly worth a look. The Alberta economy is strong and taxation is the lowest in the country.
RE:Calling all Canadians!
Thanks Royal - (hope you're getting all this Steve!)
Getting a fellow member a job... wouldn't that be too cool! Hmmm... sending a local newpaper would help, also Steve - you could look up the Careers links in each of the companies named to see if there is an opening in the area.
I have a freind who runs an internet match-making of the professional type I'll send him a copy of the resume.
I'll let Steve decide on his own whether to email you the resume or not. My day job employer may have something in the area although it's not posted on our website I'll do some inside research. One of our divisions is in Toronto and I believe we still have sales / field offices in Vancouver.
RE:Calling all Canadians!
Royal Unusual:
is that a Usual with wings at both ends? Judging by the information you're giving out... I know you! Unmask thyself
|Royal Usual
RE:Calling all Canadians!
Okay, I'll admit to being biased, but your UK friend might want to consider locating in Ottawa.
It's got a large (and growing) high tech sector (Nortel, Corel, and many many others are here) and they are CRYING OUT for qualified people. It's a beautiful city with a very low crime rate and all the amenities. There's lots to do, including museums, concerts, art galleries and, yes, even monster truck rallies. It's only an hour by plane to Toronto and less to Montreal.
Most importantly, however, there is good fishing both in town and close by.
Right in town you'll find good sized, fiesty smallies, muskie, pike, walleye, panfish, the odd enormous catfish, and there have been seen carp with scales the size of dinner plates.
Close by there's all that plus lake trout, largemouth bass, panfish, fallfish, gar pike, even redhorse suckers (the latter are C&R only as they are endangered).
The areas around Ottawa have been only lightly fished for years. There are so many places to fish, and a rather small population fishing them. We rarely if ever see anyone else fishing around here. Especially not fly fishing!
Plus Ottawa is only three hours by car to New York's legendary Ausable River, and the same to the Salmon River in Pulaski for large steelies and cohos. Other Lake Ontario tribs on this side, in the three to four-hour drive range, offer additional steelie and salmon action. The Grand River is somewhat further afield.
I'm done horn-tootin' now. You other Canucks can get your oar in!
Calling all Canadians!
A member from the UK is looking for information about Canada in consideration of relocating there. He is visiting Toronto but other locations from Vancouver to Montreal are potential candidates as well. He is a professional in the computer industry with a major automotive industry background.
Please provide any information on the region you know and an idea of the employment and of course fishing conditions

This unit is great. We have a vacation cabin at 5000 ft near Tahoe, and when we leave the Bay Area we call our phone, enter the access code, select Comfort Settings, and the cabin is nice and toasty when we get there.
