  3. It's never too early to start talking about ICAST considering manufacturers now seem to release new products before ICAST. What rumors are floating around or what known items do you think will be announced at ICAST? Lets get the ball rolling with Daiwa's new Blackline Series of surf rods. OVERVIEW The Daiwa Blackline Surf Rods are the zenith of surf rod innovation, tailored for the avid surf caster seeking unmatched performance. These rods feature ALL SIC rings and FUJI K frames, designed to enhance line flow and reduce tangles, thus improving casting efficiency. The distinctive Daiwa Air Sensor reel seat is a marvel of design, cutting down on weight without compromising on the structural integrity, ensuring a rock-solid reel fit. A robust shrink rubber rear grip augments casting power, enabling anglers to cover impressive distances with ease. Structurally, the Blackline Surf Rods are reinforced with Daiwa’s X45 bias carbon technology, which resists twisting and maintains rod integrity during high-stress situations. The rods are further enhanced with SVF nanoplus technology, utilizing nano particles within the carbon matrix to lighten and strengthen the blank. Select models, like the 902MXS, are fitted with the MEGATOP tip for superior bite sensitivity. Braiding X counters torsional stress during casts, and the V-JOINT technology facilitates a seamless bending curve for more precise casts. Adding to these high-end features is Daiwa's exclusive ergonomic reel seat, designed to meld comfort with functionality, providing a superior grip and an enhanced fishing experience. Each aspect of the Blackline Surf Rods is meticulously designed to advance your surf fishing to new heights.
  4. That's where you're wrong. Why do so many terrorists have engineering degrees? Engineering is not a profession most people associate with religion. The concrete trade of buildings and bridges seems grounded in the secular principles of science. But the failed attack this Christmas by mechanical engineer Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab was a reminder that the combination has a long history of producing violent radicals. The anecdotal evidence has always been strong. The mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Mohamed Atta, was an architectural engineer, Khalid Sheikh Mohamed got his degree in mechanical engineering. Two of the three founders of Lashkar-e-Taibi, the group believed to be behind the Mumbai attacks, were professors at the University of Engineering and Technology in Lahore. A paper (PDF) released this summer by two sociologists, Diego Gambetta and Steffen Hertog, adds empirical evidence to this observation. The pair looked at more than 400 radical Islamic terrorists from more than 30 nations in the Middle East and Africa born mostly between the 1950s and 1970s. Earlier studies had shown that terrorists tend to be wealthier and better educated than their countrymen, but Gambetta and Hertog found that engineers, in particular, were three to four times more likely to become violent terrorists than their peers in finance, medicine or the sciences. The next most radicalizing graduate degree, in a distant second, was Islamic Studies. So what’s with all the terrorist-engineers? The simple explanation is that engineering happens to be an especially popular field of study in the countries that produce violent radicals. But Gambetta and Hertog corrected for national enrollment numbers in engineering programs and got similar results. Even among Islamic terrorists born or raised in the West, nearly 60 percent had engineering backgrounds. Another possible explanation would be that engineers possess technical skills and architectural know-how that makes them attractive recruits for terrorist organizations. But the recent study found that engineers are just as likely to hold leadership roles within these organizations as they are to be working hands-on with explosives. In any case, their technical expertise may not be that useful, since most of the methods employed in terrorist attacks are rudimentary. It’s true that eight of the 25 hijackers on 9/11 were engineers, but it was their experience with box cutters and flight school, not fancy degrees, that counted in the end.
  5. That seems kind of odd. why go through the effort of travelling half way around the world just to admit you're here to blow chit up? Why not lie and say you're just here for a better life? And then when they let you in and give you a room in a 5 star hotel and a $10,000 voucher for food and living expenses per month and use that money to buy bomb making materials and then blow chit up?
  6. Or give them to bellringer during this years fluke trip. Just remove the paper label first so he doesn't get suspicious.
  7. And a little splash of color never hurt anything.
  8. Some stuff from almost 20 years ago made from industrial plastic.
  9. I applied the holographic Razzle Dazzle™ finish to some Albie lures, some needlefish and some bluefish bombs.
  10. Weird, when I asked why they stapled my head closed instead of using stitches they said staples leave less of a scar. I think staples are just a lot faster so that's what they use.
