Resolved Question: Going after large Brown Trout?

There is a lake southwest of where I live that is renowned for its large record setting Brown Trout. I've decided to take a trip there this fall and try my luck. Here's my questions. What type of equipment do I need? Here is the rigs that I have. 1. Fly Rod - 8'6" with 6wt. line. I caught tons of hatchery size Rainbows on this in both rivers and lakes. 2. Spinning Rod - 5' UL with 4lb mono. Same as above, lots of hatchery size Rainbows. 3. Spinning Rod - 6'6" M with 8lb mono for Bass fishing. Caught hundreds of 2 and 3 lbs. Bass on this rig. Will any of these work on 20+ pound Brown Trout? The locals call them 'footballs'. All the pictures and information I get are about the fish and not what they were caught on. The locals claim that to catch the big Brown's you need to night fish using scuds or midges close to the surface. During the day to jig the deep water.  more

Resolved Question: Is this midge fly larvae?

Is this midge fly larvae? They are about a cm. in length and I have seen pictures of both white and red, which are the biting type? Can I feed them to my fish (I have guppies)? By the way they are in a 1 quart mason jar. The water has been sitting for a month and just yesterday I put a spider plant in it that was in soil, but the worms look like they came from the bottom, they are traveling toward the plant. http://www.flickr.com/photos/24785060@N08/4821022660/  more

Resolved Question: did anyone believe this about flyfishing when they were younger?

when i was little the only flyfishing id seen was at distances or just still pictures so i believed you casted and made the fly zip around above the water and the fish would jump out and eat it. but now how ever many years down the road i now love fly fishing and have caught many fish and just thought about that again today.  more

Resolved Question: How do I make my fish fly? So frustrating!?

Okay so I was watching Animal Planet and there was a program about flying fish. They said they could glide out of the water for a couple seconds, so I was like okay maybe I can get Charlie to do that (I have a 1 year old blue beta) so I put a fan by the tank so he could get some lift but he just kept swimming around as usual. So I'm so confused, I feed him good food and the water temperature is perfect for a tropical fish and it's a big tank so he's healthy and happy, why won't he fly?? So I grabbed some magazines and put them against his tank to inspire him (they had pictures of fighter jets) and he just kept swimming. So I went outside and grabbed my chicken and brought her in the house and put her next to the tank and she just looked at the fish and then flew back out the kitchen window, but that was good cause I thought Charlie would copy her but he didn't even notice, he just kept eating his bloodworms. Am I doing something wrong? I'm worried he won't do it because he's depressed or was is just a handicapped fish. How did you teach your freshwater fish to fly? Thanks in advance  more

Resolved Question: What type of bird is this?

I was just in Homestead, FL at Moody Canal fishing. We came across this bird that nested on the ground. It was about the size of a hand, and it was brown and white. I went to take a picture of it when it flew about 3 yards away, and played injured. It walked with its wings spread pretending to have a broken wing. It was trying to lure me away from the nest. Does anyone know about this bird?  more

Resolved Question: Can some give me a nice review on the story below.?

Buried Treasure by O Henry There are many kinds of fools. Now, will everybody please sit still until they are called upon specifically to rise? I had been every kind of fool except one. I had expended my patrimony, pretended my matrimony, played poker, lawn-tennis, and bucket-shops--parted soon with my money in many ways. But there remained one rule of the wearer of cap and bells that I had not played. That was the Seeker after Buried Treasure. To few does the delectable furor come. But of all the would-be followers in the hoof- prints of King Midas none has found a pursuit so rich in pleasurable promise. But, going back from my theme a while--as lame pens must do--I was a fool of the sentimental soft. I saw May Martha Mangum, and was hers. She was eighteen, the color of the white ivory keys of a new piano, beautiful, and possessed by the exquisite solemnity and pathetic witchery of an unsophisticated angel doomed to live in a small, dull, Texas prairie-town. She had a spirit and charm that could have enabled her to pluck rubies like raspberries from the crown of Belgium or any other sporty kingdom, but she did not know it, and I did not paint the picture for her. You see, I wanted May Martha Mangum for to have and to hold. I wanted her to abide with me, and put my slippers and pipe away every day in places where they cannot be found of evenings. May Martha's father was a man hidden behind whiskers and spectacles. He lived for bugs and butterflies and all insects that fly or crawl or buzz or get down your back or in the butter. He was an etymologist, or words to that effect. He spent his life seining the air for flying fish of the June-bug order, and then sticking pins through 'em and calling 'em names. He and May Martha were the whole family. He prized her highly as a fine specimen of the racibus humanus because she saw that he had food at times, and put his clothes on right side before, and kept his alcohol-bottles filled. Scientists, they say, are apt to be absent- minded. There was another besides myself who thought May Martha Mangum one to be desired. That was Goodloe Banks, a young man just home from college. He had all the attainments to be found in books--Latin, Greek, philosophy, and especially the higher branches of mathematics and logic. If it hadn't been for his habit of pouring out this information and learning on every one that he addressed, I'd have liked him pretty well. But, even as it was, he and I were, you would have thought, great pals. We got together every time we could because each of us wanted to pump the other for whatever straws we could to find which way the wind blew from the heart of May Martha Mangum--rather a mixed metaphor; Goodloe Banks would never have been guilty of that. That is the way of rivals. You might say that Goodloe ran to books, manners, culture, rowing, intellect, and clothes. I would have put you in mind more of baseball and Friday-night debating societies--by way of culture--and maybe of a good horseback rider. But in our talks together, and in our visits and conversation with May Martha, neither Goodloe Banks nor I could find out which one of us she preferred. May Martha was a natural-born non-committal, and knew in her cradle how to keep people guessing. As I said, old man Mangum was absentminded. After a long time he found out one day--a little butterfly must have told him-that two young men were trying to throw a net over the head of the young person, a daughter, or some such technical appendage, who looked after his comforts. I never knew scientists could rise to such occasions. Old Mangum orally labelled and classified Goodloe and myself easily among the lowest orders of the vertebrates; and in English, too, without going any further into Latin than the simple references to Orgetorix, Rex Helvetii--which is as far as I ever went, myself. And he told us that if he ever caught us around his house again he would add us to his collection. Goodloe Banks and I remained away five days, expecting the storm to subside. When we dared to call at the house again May Martha Mangum and her father were gone. Gone! The house they had rented was closed. Their little store of goods and chattels was gone also. And not a word of farewell to either of us from May Martha--not a white, fluttering note pinned to the hawthorn-bush; not a chalk-mark on the gate-post nor a post-card in the post-office to give us a clew. For two months Goodloe Banks and I--separately--tried every scheme we could think of to track the runaways. We used our friendship and influence with the ticket-agent, with livery-stable men, railroad conductors, and our one lone, lorn constable, but without results. Then we became better friends and worse enemies than ever. We forgathered in the back room of Snyder's saloon every afternoon after work, and played dominoes, and laid conversational traps to find out from ea  more

Resolved Question: What can I do to get rembursed from property damage caused by landlord neglegance?

Hi, I have been in the same house for alomst 8 yrs and never late on rent and no compliants are made from me.I have a two car garage and the back was a sloped down wall with dropped ceiling and so if you park a car in there the hood goes under that portion inorder to fit inside.It was leaking real bad and had ruined all my priceless baby books and my gifts from my kids through the school years were ruined beyond repair. I told him and he had a guy come repair the roof, but didnt fix the leak. I had cleaned and organized the garage after the first leak and had it nice and neat and room to go in a work out on a bag. I put a 60 gallon fish tank in the gargae, it rained and the tank filled to the top. I called the landlord and he said he'd fix it but didnt for three months. He then called me on a wednesday and left a message for me to call so i did,he told me thursday that he needed me to move my things 3 feet away from the wall so he could put a new one up and a new roof. So I told him ok that night i had school so Id do it on friday after a Dr. apt. So I was ready to go in and move my things, cover them, and take in what I didn't want broken. I went out to the garage and the workers moved all the stuff and just threw it in a huge pile. Tons of tree cuttings, roofing crap, and nails are now EVERYWHERE inside boxes and covered all over and he wont make his workers clean it. I found out my fake x-mas tree was broken by them piling shit on top, my baby crib I was going to hand to my grandkids is now ruined from water too. the garage also does'nt look stable, the foundtion is cracking and the whole garage is leaning forward. I am really upset about this. I know i probably should have renters insurance but who can afford it. I am a good tenant and been here alomst 8 yrs and due to my current situation I don't want to move because of my kids in school, and needed places in walking distance are here for us. I also got 3 feet in length taken away from my property size and im not sure a car will fit in there anymore. well it is such a mess i cant even see if a car will fit. What can I do ? I asked him when they would have it cleaned he said, "oh you'll have to do it just little by littel I guess," and I dont think thats is fair or right. What can I do??? I also have some repairs around the hosue that need to be taken care of he said he'd do it in a week and it's over a month. I had repaired a few things by myself and before I did I called and called and he never returned my calls, so we deducted from rent the cost of the new garbage disposal and then he called right away! I am thinking small claims court? I don't have lawyer $$. I was thinking deduct from rent what I think is fair but don't think that will fly.I usasally get screwed. And just today i tried to clean out a space to walk and got cut on a rusty nail. please help, Thank you! here is a before and some after pictures: http://s873.photobucket.com/albums/ab300/sk8in69/Decorated%20images/  more

Resolved Question: Tennis Survivor: Sicily -- Day 2 (Music headlines the camping grounds)?

First of all: Happy first day of summer!!! XDXD It was only the 1st day of Survivor: Sicily and there were already 2 extremely close votes! For team Acquazzone, Leander Paes barely survived after a 5-3 vote knocked Santiago Giraldo out of the competition. After a 4-1-3 vote for team Fuoco di Inferno, Max Minryi has been voted off. After the mellow-dramatic tribal council, all the contestants were escorted to a tent to celebrate the new season. When they entered the tent they saw a shiny kareoke machine. Andy Roddick was the first to partake in this, singing Elton John's "Rocketman" and bringing tears to the eyes of Steffi Graf after he wooed his fellow contestants playing the piano and singing the chorus. Ana Ivanovic and Aravane Rezai chose to make the party more entertaining, so they sang "Milkshake"! All the men went crazy as Rezai and Ivanovic strutted their stuff, wearing gold bikinis (haha). Next was a quartet of Gael Monfils, Daniel Nestor, Fernando Verdasco, and Leander Paes. Their song: Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody". For 5min and 55sec they sang with passion, leading into the famous operatic portion. Once Daniel Nestor started with the line "I see a little sillhouetto of a man" the crowd erupted into a frenzy and roses and sea horses (sea horses?!?) were flying everywhere! After their performance, they took their bows and everyone continued the festivites by eating and drinking. Once the two teams went into their respective locations after the party, they had to build a camp. Melinda Czink and Liezel Huber helped Andy Roddick as Ilie Nastase and Sam Stosur collected wood for the fire. Meanwhile, Gilles Simon went fishing and caught a Marlin. He returned to the beach glistening and waving his hair as Agnieszka looked at him with wide eyes...his trunks fell off! She quickly got her camera and took a picture (fifteen actually) before Simon finally found an olive branch to hide his genitals. Everything's going well for team Fuoco di Inferno, except for Gilles. On team Acquazzone, Jurgen Melzer went hunting and found a rhinocerous (what the hell was that doing there?) and brought it back to the camp, where they cooked it. Schiavone and Safina were collecting wood for the camp, as Safina trailed off on her own to find the hidden Immunity Idol. She hides it somewhere and returns to camp. Everyone else is doing their own thing, except for Ivanovic and Verdasco, who seem to have rekindled their relationship....

Resolved Question: Would the Inuit people ('Eskimos') make excellent candidates for a trip to Mars?

This is a serious question. Firstly, a quick note. 'Eskimo' is a contemptuous name meaning 'eater of raw flesh', and so I will be referring to the people with their correct indigenous title, Inuit. They are, as we shall see, far more advanced the Western notion of a primitive people huddled in a single-room Igloo (Igloos are often many-roomed structures of an intricate and efficient design). So, why are Inuits suitable candidates? See below: *** Inuits have a different system of orientation to other peoples so the world. Often, there is no clear distinction between the horizon, the sky, and the ground in a heavy white-washed snowscape. Inuits have developed an omni-directional sense because of this, and are extremely adept at orientation puzzles, such as the nine-dot problem. Inuit perspective is so advanced they can comfortably read in any direction, often upside down, and even adorn the Igloo walls with pictures hung askew, or upside down. Such amazing orientation skills are unique in the world and would undoubtedly help in zero-gravity on the long months to Mars and back. *** Inuits often have an amazing mechanical aptitude and retentive memories. This is another product of conditioning to extremely harsh conditions at the edge of survival. Inuits from Greenland in particular must memories distant, subtle landmarks to navigate from Igloos to hunting or fishing ground, lest they perish in exposure. They also test for the salinity of the air, moisture changes, or other minuscule stimuli to navigate. Their mechanical aptitude is a recent revelation, but Inuits can intricately repair damaged engines with the most basic of tools, that Canadian engineers (specially flown in) are sometimes unable to fix. The abilities come from various parts of the Inuit culture, where manual dexterity is learned at an early age in the fashioning if small objects, together with an heightened sense of spacial-awareness. Such engineering applications are of course important to any long space journey. What do you think?  more

Resolved Question: Why is this local toro sashimi cheap while internet posted prices are crazy high?

I love japanese food and i simply enjoy searching various restaurants for the fattest slice. For those who don't know, toro is the fatty tuna belly and it is treated as a japanese delicacy. While looking for pictures on google, i stumbled upon toro prices from various other restaurants around the world. I live in Calgary and each piece is priced around $2-3 dollars Canadian. However, im finding prices like $10 USD per slice on the internet and some even as high as $16 USD. What is with this price discrepancy? Am i eating fake toro? or is it from a more common specie? After looking at pictures on google, i have to say there is a slight difference in colour compared to the ones i normally eat, however, its still ALOT fatter and taste unique compared to the normal white tuna. My city is land locked so i know for a fact this fish is flown in from somewhere else. I am satisfied with what i have but i still want to try this holy grail tuna belly  more

Resolved Question: should I email my ex?

How do you stop thinking of the good times? I really don't want to date anyone else right now... I've given a lot of advice on here about moving on. Now I need it. I have kept busy to no avail for several months and got a lot done in my life, but still.... I miss my friend. I broke up with my bf in January. We were in a long distance romantic relationship for nearly 2 years. He said he was committed to our relationship. Great. But... In the fall I found out he still had a profile up on a personals site (where we met). I was so hurt. I firmly confronted him and he admitted it was him (there was no picture), I told him I didn't appreciate it. He said the profile had been up for years, since his divorce, and he wasn't paying, he just liked looking at women. I said I'd really like you to get off it -- and I waited two months. He didn't. I broke up. I was in love with him or else I wouldn't have been flying down to see him. To me, if you are on a site, you are fishing. You look long enough, you will find something. All he had to do was get off it and apologize but he wouldn't. A guy at work told me he is a dirtbag who doesn't deserve me. I have a great paying job and own my house. I'm responsible, loving. great cook and I have a nice fit body. The bf lost his job right after we met. He came up to see me a few times (5 hour drive) but I flew down once a month to see him, sent him care packages, helped him with his resume, helped him clean up his house... He was severly depressed over the unemployment, and didn't put tons of effort into life. But he faithfully called me every single night, and we laughed and had a blast together. I trusted him. I heard from a friend of his that he has not dated since we broke up and that he is too stubborn to apologize to me and admit he was wrong. I took myself out to a nice dinner tonight and over wine and food thought maybe I should email him. I still love him and most of all, I miss the friendship. Is that so wrong? I won't be flying down there if he emails back but I would like to be friends. Don't know if we can, tho because he is stubborn. I wish I could stop thinking of the good times. So what would you do? Please be nice. Mature answers. Thanks. ALL GREAT ANSWERS!! Thanks for the kick in the butt that I needed tonight. :-)  more

Resolved Question: Need some ideas to end this poem?

Help me end this poem!? It's about my Dad who died last year. I just can't think of an ending to go with the last verse. I have total writers block! This is the whole poem unfinished: Time passes by Like water through my fingers Since you're been gone The pain only lingers I had a dream you were here You were smiling, you were real But when I awoke There was nothing I could feel It's been raining since you've gone Like God has been crying I know how he feels Because inside I've been dying Are you happy where you are? Does the sun shine on you? I picture you fishing In an ocean so blue They say life goes on We should remember the good I try everyday But if only I could I want you to fly free Like a white soaring bird But my heart keeps you here So your voice can be heard Why you had to leave I know I'll never understand Wow! I just want to say you're all giving me some really wonderful ideas! Thank you so much! Keep them coming!  more

Resolved Question: What fishing line should I use?

Hi all, I am planning on taking up fishing again after a lengthy absence. My previous forte was fly, however I was wishing to start down at the local peer , (east coast scotland), their ws a good deal at a local supermarket for reel line, however the line which had a picture of cod, mackeral( the one I would presumably be after) was fluoresent yellow(0,44mm 11,0Kg), and the line with a pic of pike, perch, was a thinner almost invisable light brown(0,35mm 8,4Kg). What my question is, is a flurescent reel line ok, if so why is it yellow? I would have thought the light brown line would have been better being more invisable, thinner etc. The pictures really threw me. Can anyone offer any advice?I was going to use a simple paternoster rig on the end, Would i have to use clear line for the rig? sorry iam a complete novice with regards to this and dont understand yellow line, Fly maybe but not for sea? sorry folks, i should have searched the answeres first, however they still never completely answered the questions, any advice wouls still be appeciated regards  more

Resolved Question: I tore up my car and my wife can't stop laughing at me?

My poor ole car is just fall'n apart. I drive a little Mazda Miata that I barely fit into but I like it. I accidently tore off the door a couple of months ago at the gas station, my tires all got steel wires sticking outta them and my dang wife stuck a dead fish up in my heater. Tpday I got off work and it was so nice out and sunny and warm that I decided I would roll back the top. I rekon I'm just to stupid to do anything cause I didn't realize you wernt supposed to open the top while you was driving down the road. That top flew back and filled up like a parachoot and blowed clean off the car. Now all I got is some bent up metal bars left for a top. I was trying to put a piece of blue tarp on those bars with duct tape when my wife came out and saw what I was doing she laughed and laughed. She took pictures with her phone and sent'em to all her friends and called me stupid and a moron and didn't even care that my feelings was hurt cause my car is tore up. I got to tearing up and she just laughed some more. If I had some money I would just drive away. It's been over 5 hours and she's still in there a laugh'n at me. What can I do? I can't live like this much more.  more

Resolved Question: What can you remember about your childhood?

1) When I was young, I would ussually cry when I have problems or when someone is bullying me and I would tell my mother or teacher about it 2) I had a birthday party at a restaurant when I was a baby, and also my relatives were all there. The pictures and videos of the party were compiled in one CD, that Cd I think is now lost and that's too bad 3) Whenever it gets windy, I would ussually fly a kite or crumple pieces of tissue paper and watch them fly very high and when I see a river I would make paper boats and watch them float across the sea until they sink, I enjoyed doing both of those activities until now 4) Every week, I would always visit my doctor atleast once or twice a week and I remember that I was afraid of being injected 5) I couldn't swim when I was young but now I can because my coach in school taught me how to 6) I would always visit my grandma's house which was a few kilometers away from school every Friday and Saturday night after going to the mall 7) I don't like most fruits and vegetables, I also hated wine or alcohol and smoking, I hated them because they tasted awful and they're not good for the health I also hated fish. I hate those food until now  more

Resolved Question: Does anyone know anything about this book?

It was a picture book that I used to read when I was younger. It had either a fox or a raccoon (pretty sure it was a raccoon) that would build vehicles for other animals. I will give some examples in a second. It was a picture book with full 2 page spread drawings (very detailed semi realistic drawings) of the vehicle/ contraption in use. It would a little information about why the animal needed that vehicle. EXAMPLES: 1. A cat had a submarine made for him by the raccoon so that it could look at fish. 2. A snake had a walking machine that it could sit in that had little arms so it could pick up stuff and walk. 3. A lizard/ salamander/ gecko (can't quite remember) had a snowplow machine that was warmed on the inside so that it could travel north and see snow. 4. A rabbit had a jeep....ish thing that it could use to go on safaris through the jungle (had a lot of survival equipment in and on it.) 5. An octopus had an "inverse submarine" that allowed it to go up on the beach. 6. An ostrich (can't fly) wanted a fighter jet. 7. A mole wanted a drilling machine to help him dig. Those are all the examples I remember. I know there were more, but hopefully that is enough to describe it. It wasn't richard scarry. I'm sorry. I don't know who gave you a thumbs down, but I gave you a thumbs up. Does anyone have any answers?  more

Now, you could probably guess that the princesses' favorite stories were fairy tales, but that was only because, the princess herself wanted her own fairy tale. Selfishness did not invade her mind, because, that's the only thing she ever had asked for. The princess didn't ask for food, water, shelter, toys, stories, clothes, bathes... all of those things were simply given without her permission. In truth, she didn't care about any of those things, in truth, she only wanted love. The one thing the king nor the servants could ever give her. Because, love can't be bought, life can't be bought, and fairy tales can't come true... because, this princess wasn't allowed to have a happy ending. Unfortunately for the king, his wife died while giving birth to the princess. Unfortunately for the princess, she was born with a weak heart, and was bound to die before she turned 18. Which, was only a year away. One day, she started her own fairy tale. The princess worked day and night on it, putting her whole heart into it, and disobeying her daily needs. Nothing stopped her, not even the fact that she was getting sicker every single day. After many weeks of work, the story was finished and illustrated. That night, the princess put the story underneath her pillow, and slept for the first time in such a long time. And, as she cried herself to sleep that night, the princess remembered what the doctor had said. "I'm afraid that she won't be surviving even for one more month, it's even possible that the princess will die tonight." And that night, as those tears seeped through her pillow soaking the ink on the paper of her fairy tale, she knew that tonight would be her last dream. She knew that tonight, would be her last time to see the fairy tale she had worked so hard on, the fairy tale that the princess wanted so badly to come true. Except, her dream never did come to her that night. Instead, the princess dreamed that she was standing in the rain. There were three full moons in the sky, white, violet, and a pure blood-red. they were visible, even though there were clouds filling the sky. She reached out a hand, allowing the cold raindrops to crash down onto her pale and thin wrists. It hurt her so much, that it felt like fire was burning at her skin even though it was ice cold, but that was only because she had absolutely no muscle or fat on her anywhere. It seemed like forever to the princess, as she stood there quietly. For some reason, the rain didn't stop. It just kept on going, kept on falling, harder and harder each time. Until, she could swear seeing fish fly through the air, literally. Flowers the colors of the night sky and the sunny sky grew around her in fields of rainbows, as if they were her loving children. They grew higher and higher, and swayed in the rain as though it was wind instead of water. Everything was so amazingly peaceful... she just couldn't help but close her eyes. It all felt too real to the princess... and... she began to think. 'Is this what heaven feels like?' The thoughts warmed her heart up, even if by the slightest. They held her heart, as though there was no tomorrow, as though there was only one more moment left... before everything disappeared. As the princess opened up her eyes, she watched and felt a warm, smooth hand caress her cheek. His eyes were closed, but at that moment, she knew who he was. She knew, that her wish had come true. The Untold Fairy Tale... the princesses story... was coming to life.  more

Resolved Question: Would you read this? I like constructive criticism, so give me all you've got.?

She looked up into the sapphire blue of her pond, seaweed rustling around her unmoving body. Her clothes where covered in slime and warning to disintegrate if she even twitched, as if she was planning to. She had lain there for decades. She wasn’t a vampire, preying on human blood, or an immortal, needing to eat. She wasn’t a dead thing. She just was. She had woken up, over century ago. No memories, nothing except the basics: How to walk , talk. She didn’t need to eat. Like everything else in her mind was erased. The coral around her moved. A fish, golden in color, peeked out. Seeing nothing out of ordinary, he, or was it she? , swam out for a nibble. Life moved on around her. She just lay there, watching. Blinking every second week to keep the algae from growing over. She would move soon, in a month or so. The lake she owned was shrinking. A couple of years and it’d be gone, covered in sand from the desert around her oasis. She hated sand. Too hot to lie in, and she needed to blink once a day to stop its itching. She didn’t have a name. Never needed one. She had no friends, except fellow objects, things that didn’t die or wear out. Even her pond was dying. She had brought tons of different plants and fish to it, and it was drying out. She needed a new place. Maybe woods, this time. She decided. Woods it is. I’ll probably need to meet with humans to do it. She sighed, only water coming out of her mouth. She hated humans. They bustled, hurried, mobbing anyone that looked different from them. She’ll need new clothes, to look like them. How to get them? She didn’t care. She stopped thinking about that and looked back up at the fish, which had been joined by others. She had watched the species evolve from what she brought before. These were more adapted to warm water. They also had longer fins. She didn’t want to leave them, she wanted to watch more. Maybe I’ll take some with me. The thought crossed her mind. Watch them adapt to a new lake in a forest… but she was tired of water around her... I could still take them with me, and check up every year… her mind wandered away. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… Breaking News! Child found, shrouded in mystery and rags! Today, in the Great Sand Plains there was found a girl, covered in deteriorating clothes. She had no recollection of anything… and she only spoke in pictures drawn on anything available. She does not know her own name! “She is a bright girl,” says helicopter-police flyer, the man who found her wandering in the desert… With a bag of fish! “She learned my name in seconds. She should relearn English quickly.” She does! She already has gathered the vocabulary for a basic ESL course. Police believe she is a kidnap victim and are sending out notices to all outlying regions. Even other countries! Doctors say that if the parents are not found, the child will be put in an orphanage. Dr. Millard Senior says “I and my colleagues believe that the girl will need people her own age to interact with… continued on pg. 5 Ivy had read enough. She knew that this girl would come to her orphanage. All the brain-impaired from village idiots to untreatable pyromaniacs where sent here. Including girls with amnesia. A year ago, Greenland: “Hey, Doc! I got something here!” Phillip, called Fly by most, turned off his metal detector. “Let’s look here!” Doc, nicknamed so only by Fly, came running. “Really? Let me take a glance.” Alan Strom, father of Ivy, turned the poor, weary machine back on. It beeped once, and broke down. That was enough for him. “O.K., Crew! Come on! We’ve got something!” Everyone walking around with metal detectors stopped and went to get their shovels, Leaving Doc on top of a glacier. Suddenly they rushed out, hearing a bloodcurdling scream. When they got Doc out from under the chunks of ice, he was stone cold. The crew sent him to the nearest hospital. Half an hour later, he died from a mix of phenomia, frostbite, and chunks of ice in his skin. Ivy’s mother had died earlier in the year, the result of cancer. Having her father die so soon after drove her insane. Not insane as in lunatic,-belongs-in-a-padded-cell insane. She turned different. The good, calm, sweet, obedient girl was gone. In her place was an evil, temperamental, horrid snake. She caused ruckus to every orphanage she got sent to. She played tricks on other children, stole, terrorized. Elizabeth’s home for traumatized children was her last chance. If she behaved for a year, she’d be sent to a normal orphanage. If not, the loony bin or prison. Ivy was getting better. She didn’t attack anyone who came close, but she still kept to herself. Not emo-ish. She just preferred books to real life. Ivy put the news on the plastic table, where the others could get at it. She always tried to read it first, because usually Scissors got to it next. Dan, called by everyone Scissors, was a poor nine-year-old whose parents disappeared over whose parents disappeared over the Atlantic two years ago. He still checked the news everyday for any sign of them and usually cut out anything to do with planes and put it in his desktop drawer. He had every news article from a flying kick by a pro football player to migrations of seagulls. He would probably take this ad because of the helicopter mentioned. ……………………………………………………………………………………………… She sighed. These humans where so nosy! As soon as she learned their language, they bombarded her with questions. They asked her name and seemed to think she didn’t remember anything from a previous life she never had. I guess I need to pick a name. It’s bothersome not to have one in this human society. She was lying on her hospital bed, pretending to sleep. Kind of hard to explain she can’t sleep and had never slept before. She also had to keep her lungs moving. At first, she was hooked up to tons of monitors that she had to work her heart too. Now the doctors only had her on to check f for regular breathing, because of a little mistake she made by not breathing for a hour, awarding her with a electric shock in the gut. Her fish where in a sparsely decorated tank on her bedside table. She looked at them and smiled, something she hadn’t done for about fifty years. They had traveled with her all the way in a plastic baggie. I think I’ll chose something to do with fish. I like them. Fin? Male sounding. Beta? Maybe. Coral? Yes! Newly named Coral put her head back down and thought about several consecutive things, all varying wildly from one another. The doctor is supposed to come soon. He said something about good news for me? She checked the time on the clock above the door by the foot of her bed. In about four hours. Should I have a last name? Nahh. I’ll leave for the forest soon. And a question that really bothered her: What will I do with my fish?  more

Resolved Question: Is Harun Yahya an actual qualified scientist?

In the first edition of his Atlas of Creation, he tries to show that flies haven't evolved by showing a picture of a living one on on page and a flie trapped in Amber on the other. Only problem is, is that the "living one" is actually a fish hook made to look like a fly. The hook is very prominent in the picture, and I don't know HOW he could have missed it if he had actually studied these animals in order to show they had not changed. That alone casts doubt, but there are plenty of other examples. In May 2008 Harun Yahya, whose real name is Adnan Oktar, was sentenced in a Turkish court to a three-year prison sentence "for creating an illegal organization for personal gain." There are more examples, but is he a real scientist? The thing about the arrest makes me wonder if his organisation was an actual science one, or was it just one where he gave out fake "proof" of creationism. That's all bloggervilleusa.  more

Resolved Question: What do you think about this story? Have any comments suggestions?

Camping One day a family of four is going camping. The members of that family are the two parents, Patricia the daughter, and Richard the son. They live in Southern Pennsylvania. They will go camping in a nearby forest in Pennsylvania just five kilometers away from home. “I’m so excited, we’ll go camping” Patricia said. “Me too” Richard said. “Where are we gonna go camping?” Patricia asked. “In a nearby forest” the mom answered. “How far is the forest?” Richard asked. “It’s five kilometers away from here” the dad answered. “This is one of the greatest days of my life” Patricia said. “I hope we don’t get lost in the forest” the dad said. “We should also not get eaten or harmed by the lions, tigers, or snakes” the mom said. They brought some food, boat, flashlight, a compass, a tent, a camera, clothes, some books, and first aid kit. They prayed to God so that they won’t get lost or killed by lions or tigers. They planned to stay in the forest for five days. They rode on their car and they drove for only thirty minutes. They parked their car near the forest. They went to the forest which is just five kilometers away from home. “Very tall trees” Patricia said while Richard pictures the trees. “Can I climb up the trees?” Richard asked. “No, the trees are too tall, and you might fall down” the two parents answered. “These trees might be taller than a 10-storey building” Patricia said. “Look, it’s a squirrell” the dad said. “It has big teeth” Patricia said. “They have beautiful tails” Richard said. The mom pictured the squirrell. “Look, it’s a snake” Richard said. “What kind of snake is that?” Patricia asked. “It’s a Cobra” the dad answered. Richard pictures the cobra. “Quick, run there’s a lion nearby” the mom said. “Richard, picture the lion and let’s run away” Patricia said. Richard pictures the lion and they run away. After a few minutes they saw an eagle flying. “Wow!!! It’s a big eagle” Richard said. “It flies very high” Patricia said. Richard pictures the eagle. After a few minutes, they saw monkeys and they picture them. They also saw an owl chasing a frog for lunch. Richard videos it. “Colourful birds” Patricia said. “Beautiful” the dad said. “Richard, picture them” the mom said. Richard pictures them. After a few minutes, they saw bats. “Richard, picture the bats” Patricia said. Richard pictures them. After a few minutes they saw a deer. “Richard, picture that deer” the mom said. Richard pictures the deer. “Look colourful parrots!” Patricia said. “Good afternoon” a parrot said. “Wow! the parrot said good afternoon” the dad said. Richard pictures the parrot. “Look a beetle” the mom said. Richard pictures it. After a few minutes, they saw a spider. “Look, it’s a spider” the mom said. “What kind of spider is that?” Richard asked. “That’s a Tarantula” the dad answered. “Its bight might be deadly” Patricia said. Richard pictures the Tarantula. “Look, it’s a river” Patricia said. “The water runs so fast” the dad said. Richard touched the water and said “The water is so cold” “Look, there are fishes in this river” Patricia said. “We can go fishing” the dad said. “We can get a fish and keep them as pets” Richard said. “That’s a good idea, Richard” the mom said. “We can also ride on a boat” the dad said. “Good idea, dad” Patricia said.“Picture that river” the dad said. He pictured the river. “Look, it’s a tall mountain” Patricia said. “Richard, picture the mountain” the mom said. “Can we climb up the mountain?” Patricia asked. “No, it’s dangerous, that we might fall down” the dad said. Richard pictured the mountain. “What’s the name of the mountain?” Patricia asked. “That’s the Allegheny Mountains” the mom answered. “Beautiful mountain” the dad said. “Kids, don’t you know that the state of Maryland is just near here in this forest” the mom said. “Can we go to Maryland?” Richard asked. “Maybe next time” the mom answered. “Hey look it’s a skeleton” Richard said. “Whose skeleton is that?” Patricia asked. “It looks like an eagle’s skeleton” the mom answered. Richard pictured the skeleton. “Look, it’s a very big squirrel” Patricia said. “It’s three feet tall” The mom said. “I hope it’s harmless” the dad said. Richard pictured it. “Look it’s a giraffe” the dad said. “It has a long neck” Patricia said. Richard pictured the giraffe. “Mommy, what kind of bird is that?” Patricia asked. The mom looked up and said “That’s a vulture” the mom answered. “It has dark feathers” Richard said. “Let’s go in the tent” the dad said. “Let’s put the tent near the river” Patricia said. They swam in the river. “It’s cold here” Richard said. “The water is running so fast” Patricia said. The parents are reading books while the two children are swimming. “Let’s ride on the boat” the mom said. “Good idea” the dad said. “The water is so fast” Patricia said. “Let’s make paper boats and race them on the water” Richard said. “Good idea” Michelle said.

Resolved Question: Does anyone have fishing pet peeves they'd like to share?

Ok, I have quite a few, but will just share some that piss me off. 1. Now, i know i'll sound really selfish saying this, but i HATE it when some 5 year old kid comes up to me, thinking he's the shit and just hanging around me, messing with my hooks and bugging me with questions when he should be with his dad. Really? just because you're young doesn't mean you can't do anything wrong. just go away. 2. When bass throw my lures out of their mouths. I do you guys the courtesy of unbarbing my hooks and releasing you quick. just let me get a picture please. 3. When people ask me over and over for bait. I'm more than willing to share a worm or 2 with you, give you some senkos or sell you a rapala, but when I give you 1/4 my powerbait nuggets, just don't ask for more. especially when i can see a few unused ones lying around your chair. 4. When my lures fly off because my clinch knot killed itself. Yup, gotta hate the friction that comes from a crappily tied clinch. And i hate licking it because what if i die of some weird waterbourne disease? but i pay the price every few hundred casts when a 1/2 ounce spinnerbait just snaps the line, flies half a mile and hits some lady in the face. as you can tell, i'm a very angry person.  more

Resolved Question: I need to add 3 similies to this paragraph. Can you help me?

The day was as clear as a bell and as warm as a wool sweater in the winter .We were walking by the seashore and there was much to see. The seagulls were huddled on the beach like a group of people waiting to see a movie, and some of them would fly off as fast as lightning.There were small tide pools that sparkled like diamonds and had tiny crabs in them. At the water's edge . we saw dozens of seashells as pretty as a picture and lots of fish darting back and forth like thieves. The dune grass waved like a flag in the breeze and was surrounded by sea oats. The seashore was certainly a peaceful place -as quite as a mouse.  more

Resolved Question: Is this abnormal for a 14 yr old boy?

My hubby has 3 kids, a set of twins (17 yrs old) and a 14 yr old son. He has been divorced from their mother for about 7 yrs. He calls the kids every night and we get them every weekend from Friday to Sunday. In Jan 2010 I will be in the picture for 3 yrs. Before I came along the youngest son was sleeping with daddy. When my hubby moved in with me he remolded the basement for the boys. The youngest will not sleep down there, he sleeps on the sofa every weekend. Now if daddy sleeps down there, he will sleep down there. My hubby revolves the entire weekend around this child. He is permitted to sleep on the sofa, keep his belongings in the dining room, sits in front of the living room tv and controls the remote. He will sit and play video games for hours upon hours on this tv. He will not go outside unless daddy is out there. He will not help his daddy such as cut grass or stack fire wood. He has bikes and motor bikes but wont ride them unless daddy is outside to watch him. If my hubby isn't sitting beside of him on the sofa then the child will sit on whatever end of the sofa that my hubby is near and they will stroke each other hands. One morning I awoke to find my hubby sitting on the chair beside the sofa stroking this child's head as he slept. As soon as my hubby hears that this child is awake, he flies out of bed and fixes his breakfast. He fixes his plate for every meal including even a sandwhich. Several times my hubby has slept in the living room with this child claiming it is either too hot or too cold in our bedroom. He will take this boy hunting or fishing every weekend or do something with him. Whenever we go out to eat he allows this child to decide where we are going. This boy whines and talks like a baby constantly and his older brother and sister are always asking him why he acts this way here and not at there moms. They tell him to stop whining and to grow up. One time his older brother was watching a movie that showed women's breast and this boy said "this movie has boobies in it". He never talks about girls and if there are kids at the house with his brother, he still hangs out with daddy. When we have friends over he is sitting right there with the adults. As for my hubby's other two kids, he pays no attention to his daughter. His son is at the age where he hangs put with his friends. So actually they are hardly around. The 17 yr old never acted like this and he was 14 when I met him. He was very mature. I noticed when this child's mom is around he doesn't act like this. My hubby totally ignores me on the weekend. Everything is for this child. My hubby and I were spending some time which is very little together by building wooden objects. He said this would be "our thing", last weekend he told this child that it would be their wood shop and even made him his own work area. I am not only pissed but hurt. This child controls everything!  more

Resolved Question: What can legally be done about horrible neighbors (Really long, sorry)?

I live in New Jersey. I've been in the same apartment complex for 18ish years. (Since i've been a kid.) Never a complaint about our family, and we've never complained about anyone, until now. The woman that lives directly upstairs from us works constantly. She is a single mother. She has an 18 year old boy and a 14 year old girl. Both are emo. *Eyeroll* The boys bedroom is directly above mine. He's playing music with the bass so loud we can't even hear the lyrics. We've yelled at him because he decided to open his window and dump soda down the building onto our screen twice. The screen was COVERED with flying ants. The only time he stopped was when we threatened to sue because he became legal. Sometimes he screams at the top of his lungs for no reason and starts jumping around. Like he's moshing. Thank god he has no friends that come over. We can ever hear when his phone vibrates and when he gets instant messages on the comp. Once we had water leaking into out bedroom. The boys fish tank broke and he didn't clean it. Maintenance had to be called to find out where the water was coming from. They have hard wood floors and are supposed to have 50% of them covered in rug, according to the lease. They vacuum up until 2am. And they don't just vacuum just once. They take 4 hours and vacuum at least 5 times, sometimes the same room twice. I have no clue why. They have no trash can in their kitchen, just a bag on the floor. We know this because it sounds like a bowling ball being dropped on the floor everytime they throw something away. The mother and daughter smoke, which i don't care about. The daughter sits on the balcony and talks on the phone loudly. I can hear every conversation from our living room/kitchen and even the bedroom if the door is open. She is constantly flicking cigarette butts onto the ground directly in front of our balcony. She eats up there with her friends and throws the trash on the ground, or it gets blown there. There has been trash outside for weeks. Even a metal fork. Right now there has been a condom out there for at least 3 days. I hear everything this girl says. She tells her friends she is a virgin. We haven't heard anything that sounds like sex up there but i believe this is from either her of her friends. They are constantly outside talking and running in and out of the house. She is constantly screaming at her mother, calling her a b*tch. Complaining about whatever at all hours of the night. We hear everything. The cops have been to their house twice because this girl got into a fight with some other kid. She also fights with her brother, they scream at each other when their mother isn't home. Everyone in the house, no matter what time it is, slams the door to the apt. This happens at all hours...6pm, 12am, 3am, 6am, they don't care. And the children sound like elephants every time they take to the stairs and they are both about 120lbs. All of the neighbors complain. Some have even complained to their mother. Nothing gets done. I've seen this woman once pick up her daughters cigarette butts while STARING into our home to make sure we can see her do this. We have complained loudly. We know she hears us. Maintenance has seen how dirty it is outside now. They know who is doing it. We've had the same maintenance for years and we've told them. They don't seem to care. We've brought pictures to the main office, they don't seem to care. I left a message early this morning telling them there is now a condom outside and i get no call back. I'm not even sure this is the main offices problem. I hate these people and i want to physically harm them when i hear them coming home. If i were 16 i would kick this little girl's @ss. Is there anything that can be done? Is the owner of the apartments responsible for these people throwing trash everywhere? I'm assuming this condom is a health risk. Can the cops take action? My mother is afraid of doing anything because she is the only name on the lease and she thinks we'll get thrown out for this. We've never had a problem or a complaint against us. Forgot to mention these people have been living above us for about 3 years. No one seems to be complaining to the office besides us. We've talked to the head of maintenance and he tells us to tell the office. (My spouse is friends with this man's son) They then turn it over to another maintenance worker that is assigned to our building and doesn't care. We've heard from my spouses son that this guy doesn't care and does not want to pick up peoples trash. He claims his job is to fix things, not clean up after people. He was fixing the balcony a few weeks ago and saw the trash. He said he wasn't cleaning it. He also has been there for years so he's not getting fired anytime soon. The landlord is an @sshole. He's been sued a few times. Even for not letting minorities rent apartments. All he cares about is people paying the rent. I know im making this place sound horrible to live in but everyone else is nice and emergency items do get fixed within a week, lol. Er...We heard from my spouses friend, not son, lol.  more
