My wife and I have operated the kennel for almost 6 years as a side business. We own another business that takes most of my time and we are simply tired of this busy lifestyle! We own 22 acres around the property that we plan to build on once out of kennel business. The kennel business we have has grown bigger than we imagined and with no effort to grow it. With just a little work, we could easily be making our living with kennel but our other business is a third generation business that has too many family ties to let go of. I will be taking more photos in the days to come. Give me an email firstname.lastname@example.com or call at 423-242-8025

Ventura Looking to Defend F&M Sprint Title
Coming off a historic victory against the boys in the Sept. 20 Woodbine Mile (Can-IT), Ventura looks to be a powerful contender in the Nov. 5 Sentient Jet Filly & Mare Sprint (gr. I) as she attempts to defend her title at Santa Anita Park. But the Juddmonte Farms homebred will likely face some tough competition, as five other graded stakes-winning females were also pre-entered.

She recalled that while her art teacher was concerned about depth in representing a scene, she had become more interested in depicting radiating, concentric forms in luminous colour. As she said: 'In those days I saw things as a pattern expressed in colour. It was quite a natural thing. I didn't force myself to do it … I believe you've got to have a feeling about what you want to paint. It's half unconscious, but you do know what you don't want to do'.

Optomize It
Here's Your Route To Lazy Affiliate Riches
First things first,I've decided to ease back a little bit,now that said I've not gone down the magic button route because that as we know doesn't work and truth be told the clammer for a clean up on products aimed squarely at tricking newbies out of their money seems to be working,the stupid thing is these products far from saving time actually eat it up which leads me to Lazy Affiliate Riches,do they exist?
Lazy Affiliate Riches we are told allow you to work just a few hours and then kick back and just spend the money,sounds great but does it work? well one guy makes big play of how lazy he is and having had a look at how he does things I'm beginning to think he has a point,now don't get me wrong here he is very clear that there are no magic buttons with what he does
So when these people talk about Lazy Affiliate Riches and yet earn huge amounts of money there at first seems to be an obvious contradiction in what they are saying,what they really mean is you set up the campaign once,optomize it and then it more or less works on auto pilot,starts to sound a whole lot better
Secondly we have all been brainwashed into thinking digital products are the only things that a Lazy Affiliate Marketer can sell online and make a good return on your traffic,why work for just 10% commissions when you could be earning 60-75% commissions goes the logic but of course the reality is rather different,let me explain
Here's How Lazy Affiliate Riches Really Works
So lets look at how this Lazy Affiliate Riches business works? first off you promote a product in an in demand market, a little slice of a huge pie is better than a huge slice of a tiny pie that never gets baked again,you next look at actual conversions and refunds because this gives you your real ROI and this is where it gets really interesting
Lazy Affiliate Riches 101 says 75% must be better than 10% right a no brainer? well actually no,let me explain, a 75% commission on a product that converts at 1-2% and has a 30% plus refund rate is not that attractive, granted it's okay but what looks like a very high income can actually lead to a very high unsubscribe rate which not only costs you but actually damages your standing with your list
So if that doesn't work well lets look at the other option,10% sounds like a lot of work for little return right? wrong you see this is really Lazy Affiliate Riches 101 because that group convert at a 1 in 6 rate,they get a quality product from a worldwide giant and these customers far from wanting to unsubscribe are likely to buy again do you start to see how we have all been brainwashed with promises of huge returns and have just plain missed the point?
But you're thinking this is all fine and dandy Tony but I don't really understand the Lazy Affiliate Riches market but I sure as hell would like the idea of doing something well once and then just rinsing and repeating the process to build a solid business that keeps on bringing in business way after you put in the original effort,no product creation,no big customer support function,just some solid research and as you'll see even a lot of that is done for you
Okay Show Me How To Get My Lazy Affiliate Riches
So lets go and see how you can get your own Lazy Affiliate Riches Jeff Dedrick has a system that automates the whole process so you don't have to,all you have to do is keep adding new affiliate programs,forget doing huge amounts of research its all done for you even down to how to set it up,this really is the Lazy Affiliate Riches
but he has a deadly serious point as his video shows you
Next up is Dan Brock,this guy would chase Lazy Affiliate Riches but he won't do that much work so he's set up a
that walks you through everything, he explains that it does require some work but not too much,go check out his Done For You System here
Lastly was a program from Ewen Chia,dont be put off by the low price on this,in fact I'd say having studied and used the ideas in it it's way too cheap, his route to Lazy Affiliate Riches is through Fast Track Profits I've paid 10 to 20 times this price for products that plain didn't work,I actually use these ideas and I can tell you thesecertainly do work
So 3 different approaches to Lazy Affiliate Riches but all follow a system that once started just keeps growing and the best thing is it's simple,so I think the answer is clear, if you want to work less then you want Lazy Affiliate Riches

'This wiki provides a list of resources within the NEEShub related to hybrid simulation (HS) and real-time hybrid simulation (RTHS) for earthquake engineering. These technologies are enabling researchers to conduct a wide array of experiments to examine the behavior of structures under realistic loading conditions.'
HYBRID SIMULATION(HS) 'Hybrid simulation is a cost-effective experimental technique to evaluate the dynamic performance of large or full scale civil structures. In hybrid simulation, the rate-dependent behavior of a civil structure, including inertial and damping effects, is simulated numerically while the displacement-dependent behavior is evaluated through experimentation. Furthermore, through the technique of substructuring, a structure (total or reference structure) can be partitioned into, (1) a physical (or experimental) substructure, which usually includes the more complex components and (2) a numerical (or computational, analytical) substructure, which usually includes well-understood behavior that can be captured by numerical models. The coupling between the two substructures is achieved by enforcing equilibrium and compatibility at the interface using a transfer system such as servo-hydraulic actuators.'
REAL-TIME HYBRID SIMULATION (RTHS) Advances in embedded systems with hard real-time computing capabilities have facilitated the use of real-time hybrid simulation methods. Compared to HS, RTHS offers the capability of accurately representing the rate-dependent behavior of the physical components while examining the global performance (the reference structure) and local performance (the physical substructure). In RTHS, the interface interaction between the substructures is enforced by servo-hydraulic actuators or a shake table which act as the transfer system. A transfer system must be controlled to ensure that all interface boundary conditions are satisfied in real time. Performance of RTHS are functions of four major factors, (1) the overall dynamics of the total structure (2) the accuracy of the numerical substructure (3) how the total structure is partitioned into numerical and physical substructures, (4) how well the interface boundary conditions are achieved by the transfer system.

George P Bush, son of Jeb Bush wrote this tribute to his grandfather upon the former President receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom
Earlier this year, I returned to Texas from Afghanistan, where I was deployed as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Navy Reserve. During my time in Afghanistan, I began to understand the crippling realities of Afghan poverty; the lack of participation at all levels; the unwillingness of leaders to step up and run for the critical municipal offices that form the foundation of a functioning democracy; and the absence of human infrastructure that might let even those Afghans who want to give back to their country do so without fear of recrimination.
* Bush: The former president, and 14 other people, received the Medal of Freedom on Tuesday.
By Dave Einsel, for USA TODAY
Bush: The former president, and 14 other people, received the Medal of Freedom on Tuesday.
How does a 34-year-old professional living a comfortable life with his wife in Texas wind up in a combat zone? I can tell you in four simple words: George Herbert Walker Bush, my grandfather, or "Gampy" as he is known in our large, loving and competitive family.
Volunteerism and public service are at the core of what my grandparents' quintessentially American lives have taught me. It's what my grandfather meant when he called for "a thousand points of light" in his inaugural address 22 years ago. It's what President Obama meant on Tuesday when he awarded Gampy the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor our nation knows.
For me, the moment when I realized it was my turn to do my part for our country came on Oct. 7, 2006. That day, I witnessed my grandfather become the first living president in U.S history to participate in the christening of a warship named for him: the USS George H.W. Bush.
Gampy's remarks that day a rare, personal window into his heroic service in World War II affected me deeply. He talked about how he couldn't imagine leaving my grandmother at such an early stage in their courtship and about how scared he was at the prospect of flying bombers against a powerful enemy. But he felt a patriotic calling that compelled him to sign up and ship out to the Pacific with many others of his generation. Ultimately, he survived being shot down over Chichi Jima in 1944. In a long life of adventure and achievement, it was his Navy service that defined my grandfather most.
Revelatory moment
Proud as I was of Gampy that day, I left the ceremony with a feeling of emptiness. While service had been a part of my life from a young age, I knew then that I needed to do more. Soon afterward, I phoned my grandfather to let him know that I intended to follow in his footsteps and join the Navy. Several months later, I began my naval training.
But, in truth, my training had begun long before. When I was 12, I went to Washington, D.C., to spend the summer with my grandparents in the White House, and one of the first things my grandmother did was to take me to volunteer at a soup kitchen in downtown Washington. Like any 12-year-old, I was reluctant at first, thinking that playing sports and hanging out with my friends were more important than volunteering. It was only later, when my passion for baseball combined with my family's call to public service, that I understood the profound rewards of giving back.
In high school, I began volunteering in Miami's Little Havana, teaching kids to play baseball as a way to keep them out of trouble. As a college student at Rice University in Houston, I continued to combine baseball and mentoring in a Saturday morning program administered by my church. We worked with at-risk kids in the greater Houston area, teaching them the basics of the sport as well as the critical skills they would need in life.
Upcoming tribute
Next month in Washington, hundreds of friends and supporters will honor Gampy again at an all-star, bipartisan tribute convened by the Points of Light Institute for his role in advancing service to community and country. I feel certain that my generation, if challenged effectively and led well, can display the same commitment to raising our hands and serving our country.
Just last weekend, I sat down with my grandfather and asked him what receiving the Presidential Medal of Freedom means to him. He was modest, as always, but said, "It's a big honor, and the biggest an old guy like me could ask for." Mostly, he said he hopes that the commemorations will serve to highlight the power of volunteer service in overcoming the challenges our country faces in the 21st century.
I told him, "Count me in."
George P. Bush is the son of former Florida governor Jeb Bush and grandson of former president George H.W. Bush.

A similar stage with 787 backdrop that was set up at the gate in Houston was also here in Chicago. A brief post-arrival ceremony took place at 10:00 a.m. Charles Duncan, United's vice president of operations at ORD, spoke first, followed by United President & CEO Jeff Smisek and then the captain of the first flight. Smisek repeated some of the remarks he made before departure in Houston. He called the Dreamliner "an amazing airplane" and said his first impressions were that the ride was quiet, comfortable, and smooth.
"This is a day we waited a long time for," Smisek said
Capt. Jim Starley said the Dreamliner is absolutely revolutionary for the aviation industry. He praised the cockpit design and the jet's fuel efficiency. The captain said the autopilot was disengaged at 4,000 feet and he landed the 787 manually.
"A pilot just can't have more fun than I just had bringing it in," Starley said. "It's a delight to bring the Dreamliner to you. Come fly with us. It's a great product. I know everybody will enjoy it." (See below for a video of Smisek and Starley's remarks.)
After the ceremony concluded, Smisek posed for photos in the boarding lounge and did interviews with the media while the flight crew stood for photos on the stage. I was expecting a spread of food in the gate area as there had been in Houston – a cake at minimum – but there was nothing!
At 10:27 a.m., the system showed eight unreserved seats and I'm #25 of 52 passengers checked in on the standby list for the second 787 flight to Houston (Flight 1510)
Boarding for Flight 1510 began at 10:44. Excited passengers about to take their maiden Dreamliner flight lined up to get on board. Everybody but two customers showed up for this flight – only 10 standbys were accommodated. I ended up #15 on the list of 36 standbys who were unable to get a seat. Oh well. I was so thrilled to have made it aboard the inaugural flight, it wasn't a huge disappointment to miss the second departure.
I walked to the food court adjacent to Gate C20 to position myself to photograph and video the Dreamliner's departure. I had a fantastic view as the Boeing 787 departed 11 minutes late at 11:32 and taxied out of sight at 11:40.

Cardiff hit back after early Wolves goal
Wolves boss Ståle Solbakken was left rueing defensive errors and an inability to get back into the game after today's 3-1 defeat at Cardiff.
The club's first ever visit to the Cardiff City Stadium started in bright fashion with Bakary Sako opened the scoring with a tenth minute free kick but within 60 seconds the hosts had equalised through Peter Whittingham's penalty.
Whittingham then added a second shortly afterwards before completing his hat trick with a superb free kick to leave Wolves returning home empty handed.
"When we got in front the lead lasted only 60 seconds and I think that changed the game," said the boss.
"Sako scored a good goal and as a team we started well, but the game changed in those three minutes.
"Had it stayed at 1-1 even I think we could have got back into it but then we struggled to do that after the second goal.
"Then we made a stupid error and Cardiff got a penalty which meant we didn't get the chance to protect that lead.
"We had talked before the game long and hard about making errors in and around the penalty area because of the left foot of Whittingham and he punished us.
"I have seen in the Premier League and the Championship that a lot of games can be decided by set pieces and by stupid mistakes.
"We had some chances towards the end of the first half to try and get back into it.
"But in the second half we didn't really manage to open them up and at 2-1 down we made another stupid error to give a free kick away and from there we didn't have the quality to get back into it.
"We should have created more chances and didn't really manage to do that in the second half especially.
"We gambled a little bit after the third goal with three at the back and three up front and that wasn't very successful which made it a very messy last 20 minutes from us.
"Maybe that was a mistake from me but I think we didn't have anything to lose having not created any chances in the second half.
"I am just disappointed that we made stupid errors at important points in the game."
The squad was also affected by the unavailability of new signings Razak Boukari and Björn Sigurdarson, with the boss deciding to hand Georg Margreitter a watching brief.
"We were a little bit unlucky before the game because we lost Boukari," said Solbakken.
"He hasn't played for a while and had a tight hamstring in the game with Northampton.
"We took him off then so hopefully it is not a big problem.
"Bjorn picked up a back problem in the last training session and that made it a little harder for us.
"With Margreitter I wanted him to watch the Championship game to see what it is all about.
"But hopefully all these players can get back into training and we will be ready to go again after the international break."
Wolves have four points from their first game and the boss admits he would have wanted far more, not using the recent uncertainty with player comings and goings as an excuse.
But he is confident that there will be much better to come with the chance to work closely with those players not departing on international duty over the next fortnight.
"We want to get more points both home and away," he says.
"I think in both away games we could have got something.
"We had our chances today but all in all Cardiff deserved the victory.
"It is still early days but we want to try and pick up points.
"We have had good spells in some games but we would have liked to have had two or three more points at this stage.
"We have been up and down so far in the games and I think some of the lads also know they can do much better individually.
"We made a lot of unforced errors especially in the second half and players were not at their best."

Jenny B. Jones and Free Books!
Before we meet today's featured author, I want to announce that the winner of Loree Lough's novel, Love Finds You in Paradise, Pennsylvania, is:
peachykath79@ . . .
Congratulations! I'll contact you today for your snail mail address, and we'll get your book to you right away. I encourage readers to keep commenting and/or subscribe at right in order to participate in future book give-aways!
And now let's meet novelist Jenny B. Jones, author of So Not Happening (Thomas Nelson, April 2009).
Tell us about yourself, Jenny.
I write Christian fiction with a few giggles, quite a bit of sass, and lots of crazy. My novels include the Katie Parker Production series and the upcoming book So Not Happening. I would also like to take credit for Twilight, but somewhere I think I read you're not supposed to lie.
Yeah, I'd rather you not take credit for my hard work, Jenny.
When I'm not typing my heart out (or checking email), I teach at a super-sized high school in Arkansas. My students are constantly telling me how my teaching changes their lives and turned them away from drugs, gangs, and C-SPAN.
Okay, that's not exactly true.
Maybe you watched Michelle Pfeiffer in Dangerous Minds one too many times, eh? Will you tell us a bit more about So Not Happening?
Bella Kirkwood had it all: A-list friends at her prestigious private school, Broadway in her backyard, and Daddy's MasterCard in her wallet. Then her father, a plastic surgeon to the stars, decided to trade her mother in for a newer model.
When Bella's mom falls in love with a man she met on the Internet--a factory worker with two bratty sons--Bella has to pack up and move in with her new family to Truman, Oklahoma. On a farm no less!
Forced to trade her uber-trendy NYC lifestyle for down-home charm, Bella feels like a pair of Rock and Republic jeans in a sea of Wranglers. But soon, things fall apart at school, and Bella is the outsider. Forced to be on the school paper, she finds her greatest enemy to be her new, hot editor. Before long, Bella smells something wrong in the town of Truman, and it's not just the cow pasture. With her savvy reporter's instincts, she is determined to find the story behind all the secrets.
Which character in your novel most interested you while you wrote? Why?
The main character, Bella, popped into my head as I was writing my first series. I thought, "Wouldn't it be funny to take a Gossip Girl type and flip that character on her tail? Bring her "down home." And I mourned for days when the teen mystery Veronica Mars went off the air. So I just combined the two ideas. Originally I thought it would be a great idea--for someone who wasn't me. I didn't have any experience writing mysteries, so it was a crazy challenge. But I loved it.
Why will readers enjoy your novel?
Reading it will remove all traces of cellulite.
Say no more! But really. Say more.
Hopefully it has a little bit of everything--romance, intrigue, suspense, and most importantly--humor. I hope it's an escape. I'm not a deep girl, so I just wanted to bring a faith-based message through entertainment and (fingers crossed) some laughs.
If you were the casting director for the film version of your novel, who would play your lead roles?
Ha! Great question. I taught drama for a number of years, so I'd totally want to cast.
I'd pick Demi Lovato from Disney as Isabella Kirkwood.
A younger version of Tom "Superman" Welling for her love interest.
And I would have a cameo, of course. Because it's my dream to visit a set and raid the food area.
This is a picture of Hollywood Jenny.
What facet of the writing craft comes easiest to you? Explain.
Writing easy? Um, hitting the send button when it's over. I love this job, I do. But no part of it is easy for me. Career-wise it's the hardest thing I've ever done. I'm really good at the procrastination part though. And emailing and Facebooking--necessary skills for any serious writer.
I knew I was cut out for this biz. What do you struggle with in your writing?
My main problem (no shock) is discipline and staying focused. It's amazing what you suddenly HAVE to do while you're writing. During this last book, I was compelled to get out there and clean my garage. I'm so easily distracted. I'm a seat-of-the-pants writer, so I struggle with rejection every day. Sitting down and having nothing in my head is not a good feeling. A familiar one, but not a good one.
I hope you have enough in there to answer this one: How would you advise a new writer asking how to keep her readers from setting her book down?
Be original. Use conflict. Include kissing scenes with an alpha male. Stick fives and tens throughout the pages.
I have been reading the wrong books.
Okay, Jenny, choose an inanimate object to represent you. Explain what you have in common with that object.
Paper--blank with some potential.
What is the last book you read that impacted you? How did it affect you?
My agent passed on the greatest book to me. It's called A Girl Named Zippy, by Haven Kimmel. It's nonfiction, but it's so engrossing, it feels like fiction. It's just about a young girl's crazy life in small town Indiana. Nothing especially big happens to her, but it's the way she writes that makes even the mundane sound riveting. I can't sing its praises enough. It's my new gift book for friends and family. It's also one of the funniest books I've ever read. Rarely does a book make me laugh out loud, but this one? Omigosh. Amazing. The author will either inspire you or make you want to pack up your MacBook forever.
Yes, I remember that book! She does have a fun voice. And there are touching parts, too, if I remember; especially near the end.
What are you working on now?
I just finished Just Between You and Me, my first foray into women's fiction and a Women of Faith pick for 2010. It's the story of Maggie Montgomery, a woman who must return home and face both her past and her future. It's about living fearlessly when the world is crumbling around you. There is conflict. There are kissing scenes with an alpha male. And there will be fives and tens in the pages.
And you said you weren't disciplined. Sounds like you've got a formula that works, girl, and you stick with it. Where else can readers find you or your writing online? Please include the link for purchasing your book, notably the version with the fives and tens.
Stop by my blog. It's my favorite writing venue, for sure. We have lots of fun and discuss irrelevant things like Britney Spears, movies, books, and the fact that you can find RoboPigeons in London.

I certainly can understand her moving, although not the drastic kind of a city to a farm. But we did move from farm to farm to farm. It's a hard adjustment. Would love to hear how Bella manages in her big move.

I can't wait to read this book - and I won't necessarily need the fives and tens (but they would be a bonus) since I'll have a bunch of extra dough from not having to purchase those cellulite zapping creams they advertise on late night television. :)
Loved the interview, ladies, and thanks for the chance to win.

|the Rod Rack Rod Builder's Forum
|Topic Review (Newest First)
Didn't really mean to horn in on the originator's thread but after looking so long and not finding what I want in a rod my options came to either commission a custom rod ($$$!) or build one ( and more later) myself. The possibility of not re-couping my costs by putting a FW grip on a lt wt rod is a non-issue as the rod would be fished til worn out, rebuilt and broken or retired. Your experience, Wee Hooker, and information goes a l-o-o-o-o-n-g way towards boosting me through this learning curve. After decades of hardware slinging, the long stick feather chucking is where it's at for me from now on. I firmly believe that if I had not gone ahead and bought two low dollar, Big Box Store, SA outfits with graphite reels to test the waters and cut my teeth on, that I probably would not have ever taken the plunge in fly fishing, directly due to the fact of the very high cost, IMO, of the better quality stuff. My hardware slingers are Abu Garcia, Penn and Loomis rods. $600.00 plus is just a little too, much (OUCH) for my budget for a daily driver fly rod-not the way I drive! That would put 2 maybe 3 quality-blank homebuilts into my arsenal or heaven-forbid-now-that-I-know-better buy around 30 of the "so cheap as to be nearly disposable", $20.00, SA rods that got me into this game in the first place. As I progress along the curve though I just might change my tastes and go for the fancy-smancy Abel, Hardy or other top reel and a top of the line rod to put it on.........we'll see.
PS- I did find some rather low cost , decent name rods on a certain auction site but if I name them you guys might outbid me especially on the Powell. Oops!
|Wee Hooker
Aw go on ahead. JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!
It only hurts the first time!
p.s. If two piece are what you want, (besides H&H mentioned above) Check Cabelas, they have some nice deals on their SLi blanks.
FWIW, I like a full wells on all my rods 8' and over. A 1" fighting butt works well for rods that are going to bet beat up in a warm water envirinment too. It protects the reel from bouncing off of rocks/ boat floor etc. However, note that when you put a FW grip and FB on a 3 wt, you will likely own that rod for life as you've limited it's resale.
Yes there is a HUGE difference in catching gills on a 2 or 3 wt vs 5/6 IMHO. Also FWIW, some longer light line rods tend to get noodle like when tring to throw larger WW flies. In my experience with WW light rods, it's best to error on the stiff side of action and overline if you need to. All 4 of my 2-4 wt rods used for WW are in the 7.5'-8.5' range, medium-fast and are overlined one size.
|great stuff guys! I have yet to build one but am on that ledge and keep looking down. Ready to leap any day-maybe a winter project for me. My dilema in hunting for "the Rod" is this: where can you get an inexpensive 2 pc, 3/4 wt, 9 foot rod with mid flex and moderately fast action, and... WITH a full wells grip? ANSWER: correct me if I'm wrong but Andy Griffith said it best - "You cain't git there from here!" In other words, these rods don't exist unless you build one. Oh yeah, add a detachable fighting butt, why? cause I like the visual balance aspect they provide for my tastes. I've hunted the internet and only found what I'm looking for at custom rodbuilders sites or parts suppliers for builders. This rod would be my primary panfish rod and I like the idea of at least 8 feet being the minumum length preferalby-9ft. this would be a pond and lake rod and if I ever get a float-tube the length would help here as well. It would be inmy truck all the time, too, hence the inexpensive part. It would be nice to have the gills put more bend in the rod without having to go bamboo or down to a 7 footer, 2 wt yet be able to play and maybe land the odd, big bass, cat or carp that jumps on board. Any thoughts.....should I build or should I buy?

I'll break ranks here. If it's your first rod, it's likely not to come out picture perfect. This can kill resale if you ever decided it's not the rod for you . (I've built ALLOT of flyrods for my self and in a semi-commercial role. People expect perfection when buying a $150-$250 custom rod). I'd vote you start with something that will cast well but will run less than $100-$125 to build. ( BTW, you don't need any special /expensive tools either.)
FWIW, I built allot of pac-bay and hook & hackle Im6 blanks. Most built up into some VERY decient rods. Some I still fish, others were sold off. in fact, I built and sold dozens of these as they offered allot of bang for the buck. Never had anyone want to return one. ( BTW, Rainshadow also reportedly makes a decient and inexpensive series of blanks but I have very imited experience with them.)
Once you get a rod or two under your belt, then decide whether you want to invest bigger $ in a project. Chances are you might be happy with your first rod. If not, you can sell it and get most of your $ back or (more likely) use it as a back-up/ truck rod. In any case, it's an enjoyable experience to build AND fish your own rod.
have fun with it.
|Why not look at Dan Craft blanks. They are reasonably priced and definitely high performance US built blanks. You should also consider inquiring site sponsor Anglers Workshop (you can find a link to them under the sponsors heading at the top left of this page) to see what they can do for you. TFO blanks are very reasonable and are good quality moderate modulus IM6 graphite. T&T, Loomis, and Sage also make good blanks, but they are more expensive.

I'll keep that sage blank in mind. One problem I have with sage is that I feel like I'm paying a premium just for the name, not to say they aren't great rods. both rods I have now are mid level. One blank I looked at is the GLoomis IMX or Temple fork, First I probably need to see what my local fly shop has. I've found there isn't a large selection of 3wt. travel rods, but hopefully I can find a blank I like.
any comments on kits? or components?
I have only build one rod ... but this is the advice I was given when I said I would just use a cheap blank. Don't! Build the rod you would like to own ... so I did and they were right ... it is my favorite rod ... T&T 9'-0" 5wt 4-piece ... I named it after my wife ... "My reason for living". :-)
I had help from guys in my fly fishing club and there are some good books out there too ... I would suggest you build your rod with a buddy, one that has some experance is best ... but just an extra set of hands can be good.
Good Luck,
|I would beg to differ - the Sage VPS blanks are among the best choice for a high quality rod without breaking the bank. IMHO it's very forgiving while delivering high performance.

Getting started rod building
Hello all,
I'm am new to this forum (not to fly fishing though), I stumbled across it looking for information on rod building.
I was hoping someone with experience could help me. I'm looking to build my first fly rod, I was thinking a 3 or 4 piece 3 wt. and 7'6" or 8' long. I'm looking for a reasonable rod that will cast well if I do everything right but if some things are a little off it's not the end of the world (so sage blanks are out).

Family: Tyrannidae, Tyrant Flycatchers view all from this family
Description ADULT Has uniformly olive-gray upperparts with pale eyering. Wings are dark with two whitish wing bars and tail is dark. Underparts are pale gray, palest on throat and belly. Postbreeding molt occurs after migration, so fall birds look worn (compared to Hammond's). Winter birds appear faintly washed olive-yellow. JUVENILE Similar, but brighter than fall adult, with buffy wing bars.
Dimensions Length: 5 1/4-6" (13-15 cm)
Habitat Common summer visitor (mainly May-Aug) to mountain coniferous forests, chaparral, and brushy areas. Winters mainly in Mexico; small numbers in southern Arizona.
Observation Tips A challenge to identify with certainty.
Range Texas, Southwest, Western Canada, Plains, California, Alaska, Northwest, Rocky Mountains
Voice Song is a series of repeated phrases s'lit-chrrp, s'lit-cheepÖ; call is a soft whit.
Discussion Similar to both Gray and Hammond's. Behavior, bill size and color, and relative wing length are useful pointers: less active than Hammond's, but flicks tail and wings (like that species, but unlike Gray, which pumps tail); bill length is intermediate between Gray and Hammond's, with an orange-pink base to dark-tipped lower mandible; primaries do not extend beyond rump when perched. Sexes are similar.

Mary Sullivan grew up amid the cultural pop and fizz of an urban cosmopolitan center. Despite this, she writes about a small fictional town called Ordinary in Montana, and populates her stories with cowboys and ranchers. When she read her first Harlequin Superromance book, she knew she wanted to write her own heartfelt stories of love, hope, relationships and happy endings. Harlequin published No Ordinary Cowboy in June of 2009. Both it and her second book, A Cowboy's Plan, are award-winning novels. Her fourth Superromance, Beyond Ordinary, was published in July 2011.

Hi Juro
I bumped into this site (skypic.com)about a year ago. Even the free thumbnails are usefull to folks when trying to visualize the "lay of the land". I was personally impressed with the images of Eleuthera, Exuma and Long Islands.
I think the enhanced images for sale would be a worthwhile investment for anyone considering a DIY trip in those areas...could save a load of prospecting for "just the right" areas.
Here's one for you...check out "Locogringo.com" for some great aerials of the Sian Ka'an Biosphere reserve in Ascension Bay Mexico and Boca Paila. I "grow wood" every time I see my favorite flat by the Boca Paila bridge.
Well, my fishin buddy is knocking at the door to pick me up for the drive to Toronto...about 24hrs from now I'll be looking for my luggage at Nassau Intnl Aprt. It better make it!...two bags contain about $6 G's worth of equipment. It would be nice if airlines provided "secured/sealed" baggage check-in. At least a person would be gauranteed that their bags remain intact.
Hang in there pal, with your enthusiasum, your next trip is just around the corner.
Nice aerials for sale...
