| History of Fishing Rods | | 2008-07-28 19:35:22 | | In the last few decades fishing rods have undergone a transformation from the heavy beasts they once were to light finesse rods we now take for granted. While heavy rods still have their place most anglers are switching to light graphite models.The earliest fishing rods can be dated back to ancient Egypt, China, Greece, Rome and medieval England (they were called angles which is where we get the word angling and angler). The first accepted pictures of angling with a rod date back to 2000 BC from Egypt. These early fishing rods were made of wood, bone or stone. The simplest rods were made out of a tree branch.By about 800 BC fishing with a rod, line and hook was a common practice and is well recorded. The rods were made of different types of wood that was tied or bound together. The line was made from horsehair or finely woven flax. There is even evidence that a form of lead sinker was used at around this time. This is also around the time that fly fishing was developed after anglers le... | | By: The Ultimate Fishing Blog | | |

| Another "TGIF" Moment in Lemming History | | 2008-07-18 11:59:00 | | I do believe that today is only my second time ever thanking G-d that it is finally Friday. Fridays and me have a long history of hating one another and Friday usually wins out, but today I am welcoming my old enemy with open arms. I am even upset it took my foe so long to arrive. You see, I am getting sick and, with my parents out of town, have not had the luxury of being able to call in sick. I am basically, for all intent and purpose, the final word in making decisions during their absence since this time around they are in the Baltic sea and fairly unreachable. Normally they are just in North Carolina, only a phone call away, and therefore the company does not rely on me as much. This month however, I have been here and active in the day to day aspects of the business. Well, off to do more work. Lunch is over and I have to go buy doorbells for the lab and have them working by tonight.

The secrecy-obsessed White House is, of course, threatening a veto — one more effort to deny Americans their rightful access to the TRUTH about how their leaders govern or misgovern.The House approved a measure last week that would require the National Archives to issue stronger standards for preserving e-mails and to aggressively inspect whether an administration is in compliance. The Archives needs spine stiffening. Congressional investigators found that its staff backed off from inspections of e-mail storage after the Bush administration took office.We fear we may never find out all that has gone missing in this administration, although we urge Congressional investigators to keep trying. What we do know is that the Bush gaps of missing e-mails run into hundreds of thousands during some of the most sensit... | | By: VioletPlanet | | |

Wedding bands have as lovely a history as the women who wear them, and learning about the symbolism and account behind this tradition can be an enlightening experience.Despite it not being well-documented, the tradition of getting engaged dates as far back as our cavemen ancestors. The Pharaohs of Egypt are credited with being the first to use a ring in circular form to symbolism a union and eternity. The Egyptians regarded the symbol and design of the circle as a reminder that life, happiness and love should have no beginning and no end.During Roman times, it was an established tradition to give a ring as a symbol of matrimony and represented the public marriage contract between a woman and a man.

Historically, it has been used for stores of value (bars) for jewelry, electronics, dentistry, and as actual money (coinage). It is a yellow element found in nuggets that can actually be ruby or black when divided.It is the most malleable metal known. When other elements are it forms alloys. This will increase the hardness and can create exotic colors. Adding copper gives a redder color, iron more blue, platinum white, aluminum creates purple.Gold conducts heat and electricity well. Heat, moisture and corrosives have very little chemical effect gold. This makes it well-suited for make coins and jewelry. Since gold itself is soft, it is given the alloys to make it stronger and change its color.When using gold for jewelry, it is measured in karats. Pure gold is 24K. It is generally sold as 22K, 18K and 14K. This means silver or copper have been added for strength and color.Commonly we find the use of gold in jewelry making.
