I can do the exact same thing on an ipad that I can on a cell phone, its a bigger more powerful phone. I bet within five years ever single student down to at least 3rd grade will have their own device that they do take home. The schools will do this so that poor suzy doesnt get a bad grade while rich girl jen is able to be all she can be. The point was, its not going to get "better". This is better, its all in how you look at it. Do I want my 3rd grade son(hes not that age) to have the ability to send text messages through an ipad at school, not really but thats why they have parental tools. You can take a phone, limit it to certain numbers, certain programs and even certain times of day.

When you were a child you never left the yard?

This might surprise you but in the very very near future you are going to see schools handing out ipad/android tablets and google laptops as part of the schooling. Your child will be issued their very own device. So much colabrative learning is happening online that you simply cant try to stop it, if you do you will be giving your child a severe disadvantage. I just heard a client today say their middle school is assigning students google accounts and emails. Your child will be getting EMAIL at places like.... bobby@mymiddleschool.edu and thats just the tip of the iceberg. They will learn to do things like handing in assignments electronically through shared drives like google. Bobby will be assigned to work with Joe on an assignment and it wont matter that Joe and Bobby live an hour away from eachother, they will work on the document live at the same time.

Obviously not my first rodeo but it really couldnt be easier on a linux machine. In fact I cant remember how many webservers I have built in my days but enough that I pretty much know exactly what needs done on a linux box. Microsoft IIS I only ever had the pleasure of configuring once. I turned my laptop into a linux machine about a month ago after being tired of dealing with windows nonsense. Opting to push Ubuntu Desktop 12.03LTS to it, ive started with server before when building a strait up server but its always nice to have an interface to work with. It also wouldnt be reasonable to have the only computer in the house become a server strait up. My career change has my hands back into code again so I wanted another place to test as well as possibly build websites on the side. I always hated paying hosting fees to build sites, its kind of pointless when you can turn about any machine into a Linux Apache MySQL PHP server with very little effort. A couple command line commands built the whole thing in ten mins, the rest was spent configuring virtual hosts and the database. If I had a real domain name and a static IP address I could already be serving pages to the web. Im not recommending anyone jump into this but if youre a computer/tech guy and you havent dabbled in Linux you really should give it a shot.

I wont be trying any till they get a lefty

Im gonna give the mojo glass a shot, if I dont fall in love with it I am gonna try the much lower price powell deisel

Too many Fast and XFast rods on the market. As popular as crankbaits, topwaters and jerkbaits are I just find it hard to believe how many offerings there are in the F/XF option and the lack of moderates. Id be buying a glass rod if I were you, Im in the market for two myself.

send me one ill test it

Really you could cover almost every option with a couple bags of soft plastics, two 3700 and a 3700 FTO spinnerbait box. Put the spinnerbaits, chatterbaits, buzzbaits and jigs in the fto. One 3700 with a row of shallow a row of mid and a row of deep cranks. One 3700 with all terminal tackle. A spool of line for leaders and an extra spool for the line you typically fish. Realistically, you could get that all in a decent size backpack. Maybe take some of the terminal box to hold a couple topwater type lures or frogs. Dont be afraid also to take a large pill bottle and stuff a frog or something in it. Take your full bags of plastics, throw two or three of each into a ziploc instead of carrying the whole bag in every bait you have. You should have a decent idea of what at least has been working for you.

Duct tape the ends together it will come right through.

Im the type of guy, if youre on the bank and I wanna fish where you are I wont. I will either come back or find it somewhere else. I really only get bent when someone blatantly cuts me off. Ive had guys come roaring into points as I am landing a bass then just get right in the line I was following. Sometimes not even that bothers me but if I can tell I am getting the bent pole pattern I am out... Ill come back later. Half the time they dont know why I am where I am and the reason behind it. Couple years ago I was tankn em under a bridge, but that spot where I was smokin em was good because the main channel smashes right into a riprap point about 5pm where the shade from the bridge also hits the water. Its basically three features coming together at once. Guys on the bank asking me what I was using, guys in boats trying to fish the same point on the opposite side. It was worth a laugh.

Mine has went with me turkey hunting and had fun. Of course, it was the only morning all season when the birds showed up at the crack of dawn, then no joke the gun jammed. She will fish but doesnt have the patience for crankbaits or anything like that.

too new??

two stroke whatever, less weight. weve covered used boats/motors on here quite a bit. really depends on what you wanna spend. a $500 deal motor is different than a $5000 deal motor.

Am I reading this right that you gotta buy the motor and the spike separate to the tune of $700 total? At $600 with the spike I'd still say its a tad high. $400 spike included I'd def try one on my aluminum.

tommy needs a haircut

I fed him well over the winter, im saving for a new truck/boat and we need to get on this house thing. We had found one, wanted to go back for a second look and the day before we did they accepted another offer ugh.

IVe got the manns 12" jelly worm in grape, it smells good enough to eat it

my fav color

Didnt tharp finish out his bag with a frog last year to win the cup? I know wheeler was wingn a frog and I thought he was gonna win it for a little.

I was looking for a new pair of cold weather winter boots. Now, I am a BPS fan and never had a bad experience. I looked at the muck arctic which at the time was about $180 at BPS. I called up the local muck dealer... $112 out the door tax included. I order any fishing stuff I can out of state, mainly TW because I dont pay tax and they always offer free shipping over $50.

Thanks, its always weird leaving the known for the unknown but I have some contacts in the company who made the choice a tad easier. I always wanted to go back and work for the school, I actually wanted to teach but that wasnt in the cards at the time. The school is very small, it graduates about 300 a year, my class in my major had 4 grads in 2005. The school is more like a family than a traditional post secondary school, they bend over backwards to make sure you get a good affordable education. They will definitely be missed but there comes a time I guess to choose between whats best for your family and where you want to work. What I understand about the new company is that its very similar so it should be an easy transition. I actually went from working in an educational environment to working in software again based on K-12 education so its not a huge transition. My career is a very stable one for the most part, however if I could go back I wouldve rather had a degree in something outside. I think most any outdoorsman probably feels that way.

Dont own one, would cost more than my boat youre absolutely right. You saying it doesnt work? Honestly wayne, outside of the images ive seen you post I wouldnt ever choose a hummbird SI either. Everyone I have ever seen in person looked terrible, I was not in control of said unit so I can only base what I have seen first hand no operating one. I dont know at this point if I could be convinced to buy another humminbird with how good lowrance looks if money is not an issue. Ive got a unit from both companies. If money is an issue than I definitely wouldnt be considering a second SI at the front, id go for a DI and have the best of both worlds.

Been in IT now since graduating from college in 2005. Started out building commercial web based agriculture applications that changed farming for ever. Moved from that into making parts applications with a company who had a contract with Mecury Marine. Migrated back into ag based software before spending the last 2.5 years at my almamater in IT building servers, taking care of desktop support, student records you name it and I did it. One thing that was required while being there was to create a LinkedIn account. I basically treated it as a living resume, documenting all my projects. About a month ago I get a contact request from a gorgeous young woman who was working for a staffing company I had dealt with prior. One thing led to another and she asked me if I had any interest in moving on. I was not actively looking for employment and told her that at the get go. She advised me to have a look at the position anyhow, looked and it was almost as if my resume was written for the job. I decided to apply for the position and interview. I went into the interview with the mindset that I was gonna speak about what I knew, give no bs, have no real intention of the position but hear what they had to say. Told them from day one, the only way I would ever leave was significant financial gain. A week later the offer hit my email, the increase was 150% of my current salary. Needless to say I accepted that offer. Had I not had the schooling, the background in software, the background in networking and the ability to give a presentation to any size crowd I dont know if I wouldve been offered the position. When you have the ability to get comfortable talking in front of a large audience it definitely will help in the future. I was the fifth candidate in the interview process, which started back in November! Never ever turn down the opportunity to do something different, its those differences that make you desireable when the moment of truth comes. It was funny, my last day we had a staff meeting and our guest speaker was someone on customer service. He stated in his market research that two candidates with identical resumes, the person who can speak to a crowd always wins. We have been in the market for a house and looking for a year now, things just got a whole lot easier.

I would go to both clubs meetings before ever deciding. I jumped the gun last year and joined a club where it was all about what you could do for them and F your life and schedule. You were basically looked down on as a rookie if you couldnt be at their every want and need including mid day mid week tournaments and our weekend night tournaments. Before id ever join another "club" I would do some very heavy investigation. Yeah theres clubs that exist where its full of cool guys, theyre just few and far between. Make sure it fits YOU more so than you fitting THEM.
