I'm a fan of Simms gloves.

Yes, that's correct. Oh, about that...... it's not USD. It's $1,000 IRR.

I know exactly what is happening. I know the dam is sound. However failure of the spillway could be a catastrophic event nonetheless. That's why they're evacuating 160,000 people.

That's an understatement! If I were you, I wouldn't be too concerned about fishing anywhere near Oroville for a long time. I'd be more worried about getting the heck out of dodge and out of danger!

Man this is really bad. A potentially catastrophic event is about to happen. I hope everyone evacuates safely and no lives are lost.

(Reuters) - U.S. hunting and fishing chain Gander Mountain Co is preparing to file for bankruptcy as early as this month, after an aggressive effort to expand its store base failed to pull in new customers, according to people familiar with the matter. Gander Mountain is working with financial advisory firm Lighthouse Management Group Inc and law firm Fredrikson & Byron PA as it gets ready to file for bankruptcy, the people said this week. The sources asked not to be identified because the matter is confidential. Gander Mountain and Lighthouse Management declined to comment this week, while a spokeswoman for Fredrikson did not return a request for comment made on Wednesday. Gander Mountain, which bills itself as America's firearms superstore, has faced challenges capitalizing on a booming gun market. The Federal Bureau of Investigation carried out a record 27.5 million background checks on people seeking to buy guns in 2016, up 19 percent from the year before. Gander also has stiff competition from rivals like Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Inc (CAB.N), which have been revamping their stores to attract customers with restaurants and shooting activities. Bass Pro agreed last year to buy Cabela's for $5.5 billion, potentially putting more pressure on Gander Mountain, though the deal has to overcome major hurdles to close, including antitrust concerns. Based in Saint Paul, Minneapolis, Gander Mountain was taken private in 2010 by Gratco, a holding company controlled by Gander Chairman and Chief Executive David Pratt, and Holiday Stationstores, a gas-station retail operation controlled by Minnesota's Erickson family. Gander Mountain confronts financial trouble after an aggressive expansion across the United States for a total of about 160 stores, with nearly 60 new outposts opened or announced since 2012.
