IJ rejoins Charlie for a young man your age you sure do have a dirty mind.--hope you are doing well---went out in my neighbors Regulator yesterday [ don't know how long but it is set up for fly fishing] thought we were going to play around behind Figure Eight Island but water was so flat he took off for a rocky bottom in ocean five miles out. It was 50 food deep and he said it was the old coastline so we used his salt water spinning gear begin catching lots of sea bass about two pounds I guess. We saw one school of albie raise and I was dreading cleaning the bass so I just fooled around with a clouser on a 8wt flyrod. Nothing--added a little weight and let it sink and hooked a 30 inch sandshark---- just like the movies !!!! it jumped-ran off etc--Harold had a floro carbon leader on the line but after a few minutes we got him close and when he saw boat he broke off. Not too good at cleaning fish but Dene and I enjoyed our sea bass chunks sautéed in olive oil and lemon this evening. Another hard day in the life of a retiree in old carolina --damm it was warm today somewhere around 75 I guess |

About every other trip out, I'm treated to a pair of porpoises swimming by
at close range. Last time, they passed by within ten feet of me as I stood about mid-thigh deep. Beautiful to see and I have to wonder at their repeated appearances. However, once they appear, the chance of hooking anything is blown for quite a while. -- Stev Lenon 91B20 '68-'69 Drowning flies to Darkstar http://web.tampabay.rr.com/stevglo/i...age92kword.htm |

Most versions I've seen have that cropped or edited off, including the photo on the Urban Legends reference page (http://www.snopes.com/photos/surfer.asp). Giving points is nice, but Wolfie's insinuation is correct. Including the copyright isn't enough, even if the picture is posted on other sites (its probably posted there illegally.) You need explicit permission from the copyright holder to use the image, or even to link to it on another (even illegal) site. Here is a readable site about copyright law: http://www.education-world.com/a_curr/curr280a.shtml. Since the photographer is selling copies of the image, my guess is that he wouldn't give permission for it to be used on rw's webpage.

I imagine at some point a freelance photographer, if his copyright and a link to his web site is included on posts of his photos to the internet, has to balance the advantage of all the free publicity on one hand with the hassle of trying to prosecute a gazillion RWs on the other. |

Insurance for lost luggage??
I was traveling with a lot of fishing gear assuming that my household insurance would cover any loss. At a freinds suggestion I called my insurance comany to check on my coverage. I was informed that if my luggage was "stolen", I had unlimited coverage. If it was "LOST", I had none. They will not advised me of the difference between lost and stolen, except to hint that if I lost a bag, to file a police report. Most insurance companies have this distinction My company, Farmers, will not sell me a rider to cover lost luggage. some companies will. Some credit cards will give you up to $3000 coverage for lost luggage if you purchase your tickets on their cards. American Express has a card that will give you $2000 on carried luggage and $1000 on checked luggage. Fleet Bank will give you $3000 on checked luggage, but excludes many items like sporting goods. CitiBanki has a few cards that give $3000 on checked luggage but the cards are hard to identify. One is the the higher grade ATT&T cards administered by CitiBank. Another is the CitiYou cards that have recently been discontinued. If you travel a lot with a lot of gear, it may pay you to do some research. "BJ Conner" wrote in message om...

When Northwest Airlines lost an 85 lb bag (I'll tell the story below), I asked my agent if it was covered, and he said 'no', but it would be if I changed my homeowner's policy to cover the loss of anything worldwide, not just from my property. So I changed my policy, my premiums went up something like $20 per year, and now he assures me that lost luggage will be covered. The litmus test, he said, was that the bag was in my control when it disappeared, as much as possible. When the airlines check a bag, thats considered 'in my control', so losing it is considered a covered loss. I hope not to have to test this. The short story: I had gone back to the US, emptied out my storage shed of all my junk and treasures, and sold off everything that was clutter. I took all the priceless remaining heirlooms (pictures, documents, etc) and packed them into a brand new $250 LL Bean duffel, and checked onto a NorthWest airlines flight from Boston-Detroit-Amsterdam-Tel Aviv. The bag weighed 40 kilos, had everything of irreplaceable or sentimental value in it of my previous life, and it never arrived. I filed a claim with NWA, who assured me that it would arrive the next morning. But the next morning, they went on strike (this was back in 1996), and I was unable to get assistance from anyone for 6 weeks. I spent over $300 calling airports worldwide trying to get someone to look for it. By the time NWA got back in business, my bag was long gone. They settled for their advertised reimbursement of '$9 per pound', which barely covered the cost of the bag and the phone calls. Personally, I seethe every time I see those "lost luggage auction" sites. --riverman |
Lost you FlyRod to the airlines??
I have a similar clasue in my policy, but it lists the perils that they will
pay for. One of the perils is theft. They do not list "loss of use by mistake or misdiretion". My understaning is that the disappearance of your bag after it is checked does not necessarily constitute theft. Did your agent put his interpretation into writing? "riverman" wrote in message ...

At first, my new agent said that you always have coverage equal to 10% of
your personal property value for loss by misdirection, etc.. After bugging her, she is now not sure about a loss where there is not evidence of theft. I believe that a lot of these agents don't know what they are offering. I am also pressing her about a rider for "loss". She came up with one called" Inland and Marine" but it was $250 per year. A friend of mine who has a different insurance carrier was able to get a rider for just a few bucks. "riverman" wrote in message ... "Sierra fisher" wrote in message ...
