Review Of The Year
good job. Now i am not sure how you have the raw data set up but you could make it so all those calculations and numbers all calculate based on the data entered into your table so you would have zero manual work to do once it is all set up.....i am a bit of an excel nerd lol

Dropping Anchor In A Yak
anchoring in current with a kayak is tricky and an endeavor that has to be taken seriously. You have to anchor directly off the bow or stern in any type of current or you will be taking a swim pretty quickly. I used to carry one with me but don't even bother any more. I have found that it is easier to just use my stakeout pole and get out of the kayak more effective or use eddies to my advantage and hold boat position. I don't think there is anything harder in the world of kayak fishing than learning to hold position in a river but over time it does get better and it also really helps in learning to read the water in a more in depth way.

The Road To The Super Bowl
So now that Murray is out for the season, how does that impact Dallas ad their chances to win anything? And if he manages to come back and play, will his tendency to fumble become even more prominent.....only time will tell

Bass Team Not Dq'd For Umbrella Rig
They agree to the use of a polygraph so it won't get thrown out. Just like when you go salary at a job you agree that you are getting paid for the position not the actual amount of hours you work whether it is under 40 or over 40. I have yet to read about an appeal of the findings so that makes me wonder as well what is really going on here.

Step Children
I think you should have worked all this out way before moving in with her. How to raise a kid and parenting styles/discipline is very important and even more so in your case since you are disciplining your kid different than her kid. I have a 4 year old and try my best not to yell and rarely if ever spank him. My thought is if i am modeling to him that when you are upset it is ok to yell at someone and hit them how am i teaching him anything? now that is just me and i know everyone sees things differently but there are more than one way to skin a cat and you have to find what works.....

Plastic Fish Grips For Bass
Fish grips work well. I have been using them for about 3 years or so in my kayak and have never had an issue. The grip is even strong enough that if you tie it off, you can let the fish swim around the side of the boat if you are wanting to take a picture. I use them on bass with crank baits sometimes but i have found that it is still easier to just grab the bass and hold on...you can't be soft about it when there are hooks flying around it so go for it and grab the lip and hold on tight. Now if there is no place to grab, that is when i use them and for any toothy fish i may catch as well.

Championship Team Disqualified For Use Of Alabama Rig
Just about every tournament i have ever seen has a polygraph section in the rules. I am guessing there was some reason they were polygraphed though and probably someone ratted them out...

Bps Buys Ranger, Triton And Stratos Boat Companies
well ranger stratos and triton were already owned by the same company so it isn't really buying the little guy

The Road To The Super Bowl
The only way you get to use head to head is if one team beat the other two or one team lost to the other two. Since that didn't happen, Dallas gets bumped due to the conference record. If it is two teams tied for the same spot then, yes head to head is the first tiebreaker

Bps Buys Ranger, Triton And Stratos Boat Companies
So if Ranger, Stratos and Triton were all already owned by the same corporation i would bet it will stay status quo and this is just a shrewd marketing move to corner the market. I highly doubt they will have those products only available at BPS but you never know...

Humminbird Helix 5" Side Imaging
I am going to look into this unit as well after a lengthy post about mounting one on a kayak and was informed from our resident electronics guru that this unit was coming out this year or early next

The Road To The Super Bowl
The seahawks have been one of the most penalized teams since carrol got there so no big surprise there. The timing was more my concern....or the omission of the calls completely that is an issue. Oh well, we all move on and now it is time to get ready for Eagles Dallas next Sunday night.
-
The Road To The Super Bowl
I know i am going to sound like a homer here and i am one but these refs were horrible. There were two key bad calls that led directly to seattle TD where the Eagles would have stopped them. I mean how do you miss a lineman going 15 yards downfield when wilson is scrambling? And the bogus PI call that should have either been a no call or offensive PI that extended another drive. Then of course there is the obvious first down where Carrol asked for a measurement to give his defense time to rest and get different players in..... The Eagles defense played very well and i couldn't ask them to do any more. Seattle played good defense, even though it was aided by the refs a lot in the first half especially. That ref crew has now done 6 eagles games and 12 seattle games.....is it a coincidence that the eagles are 1-5 and seattle 10-2 in those games? maybe it is but when i have friends who are giants, cowboys and redskins fans texting me throughout the game saying how bad the calls were i find it tough to believe that i am alone in this one. And don't get too hypoed on time of possession, that is pretty normal for an Eagles game with how they run the offense. Anyways, a good game that we got beat and even though statistically it looked bad, it was a close game as can be seen since it was only 10 points. Now we have to beat Dallas as it is basically for the division.... Go Chargers!!!

How Would You Tackle This?
frogs don't need to touch water to be eaten in that kind of cover. I have had blowups through pads like that before. The one great thing about pads that dense is that if you sit there for a few minutes and not cast, you can see if the fish are there and moving. Anywhere a fish moves you will be able to see it in the pad movement. I have become pretty religious about not casting right away in places like that just to make sure my first cast is in an optimum location if at all possible.

The Road To The Super Bowl
They lost more than 3-4 O line starters actually. There was one point during a game they had zero backups available and would have had to use a TE if there was another OL injury. I do think Shady gets 1400-1500 yards on the ground this season which will end up being a great season, especially considering the injuries up front. This offense really doesn't care who scores but the bottom line is they do score and score often. And Sanchez has some serious talent around him now, something he never had in NY. I mean i would bet that the rookie, Matthews is about as good a receiver Sanchez ever had in NY.

The Road To The Super Bowl
Sanchez and Foles are one in the same as far as QB go in my mind. They both make way too many turnovers, with Sanchez doing it more often but he is more mobile and has a quicker release and is more mobile. Flip a coin and start either one. McCoy wasn't injured this year so not sure where you got that from. The offense line was trashed early on this season and teams were stacking the box against hm but that is fine as it allowed the passing game to make up the difference. this year's eagles team is getting more YPG overall even though they are getting less on the ground. McCoy, even when not getting tons of yards is a focal point of a team's defensive scheme. I am obviously an Eagles fan and can agree that they haven't fared well on the road against playoff teams this season, other than Dallas and Indy early in the season. They could very easily have won against San Fran and AZ but play calling was more their downfall than anything in the red zone. Kelly has a scheme going that produces wins no matter who is under center and i am fine with that for now
