Your name is JANA and are 16 YEARS OLD. You have LOTS OF HOBBIES and PHOTOGRAPHY IS ONE OF THEM. You usually use this SKILL as a way to help YOUR FAMILY WITH DUMB JOBS but you are more interested on photographing the SUPERNATURAL and more importantly THE DIVINE. As member of the GODS SEARCHING ORGANIZATION you and THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES are searching for the CREATORS OF YOUR UNIVERSE as we believe their still walking with us! You tend to speak in a manner that is a little monotone, but when you talk about something you care about you tend to get excited!

Other info: Derse player? Maybe a Seer of Void, her symbol is probably a camera or a magniflying glass, she is a clone of Jade

Inktober day 7 --- E N C H A N T E D

This is actually a future scene in DoA and it’s one of my favorites. The glowing butterflies are called magniflies and they’re attracted to magical energy.

I’m seeing some potential leaks for Pokemon Sw/Sh, so I’m going to put my thoughts under a cut:

https://twitter.com/LeaksPokemon/status/1133533244782256129

Grookey doesn’t become dual type but Chimpongo is a great name since it’s chimp+bongo+Pongo

Scorbunny becoming fire/steel is unexpected

Nerviz and Fearliz are amazing names for Sobble’s evos

the regional rodent is a nutria!

the regional bird....the first stage sounds like an ibis, and the final stage is almost definitely a Hornbill, genus Buceros!

electric apes? Sounds cool, but there are too many monkeys jumping on the bed at this point. Also: Twinkape

a part rock dolphin? I know a lot of people wanted a dolphin forever, so good for them. Typing is interesting though, could it possibly be a river dolphin?

a vacuum? It’s psychic and not part steel, so maybe in the sense of like outer space?

cheetahs, pretty cool

ICE/DRAGON GECKO->IGUANA->KOMODO DRAGON, I LOVE IT ALREADY

fire/grass chili peppers, another thing many people wanted

bug/dark termite that evolves into a bug/dark cockroach. I’m complete. Although, if this is the first bug type line, does that mean there’s no regional bug?

fairy/poison sickness pokemon sounds pretty neat

the pika clone is a...panda?

a water/steel third stage croc named Chopodile sounds awesome

Magnifly and Flycroscope....are we actually getting a bug/dark cockroach and a bug/psychic science-based housefly in the same generation!?

fire/flying turkeys, funny

Salmint the Herb Fish pokemon? Like a fish that garnishes itself?

QUAKEON AND TITANEON!? GROUND AND STEEL EEVEES!?

Antegnat and Beequency sound like neat little padding for the region’s biodiversity, which I always appreciate. I doubt they’re literally a gnat and a bee, but we’ll see how that pans out.

ghost/steel cutlery seems like the designated “THEY’RE RUNNING OUT OF IDEAS” line everyone hates unfairly

water/dark “distraction” pokemon Dekoi sounds like it could be funny

mole rats....but are they naked? The species could also be misnomers since the names sound like “desman”.

ghost/psychic catoblepas???

three stage dark/poison “outlaw” frog line. That sounds interesting.

bug/ice “show-off” pokemon Larvibe, Swaggot, and Blingsec. I don’t know how I feel about this.

Sprink/Skoil the rock/steel Spring Pokemon and Sarkion/Sparkastodon the rock/electric Ionization pokemon are right next to each other, so are they the fossils?

Dunsprite the normal/fairy Land Snake. It’s fucking happening, Dunsparse evo.

Currachnid the....EleSpider....evolves from...596....oh my god. Unfollow me now, this is all I’ll be talking about for the next week. A Galvantula evolution just for me

A LOT of older pokemon are getting evos too now. Swanna, Luvdisk, Donphan, Meowstic, Passimian, Oranguru, Druddigon, Pangoro, Castform, Rotom, Rapidash, Hariyama, Heliolisk ...ARBOK AND WEEZING??? JESSIE AND JAMES ARE GOING TO REUNITE WITH THEIR PARTNERS IN GALAR!?

The legendaries all seem to be royalty-themed, the last one being a poison/steel “Incision” pokemon. Sikazmija. Sick as me...ja. IS THIS A FUCKING PLAGUE DOCTOR!!!!??????

There’s a lot more that didn’t really catch my eye, but these are just names and typings and species. Designs and animal bases remain to be seen and those can win me over in a heartbeat. Druddigon turning into a dragon/ghost named Goregon is certainly promising. I’m seeing a lot of steel and electric types which makes sense. More bugs than Kalos and Alola, but to be frank the only one I’m expecting to really be that useful in battle is Currachnid. Gen 7 already opened up cockroaches and flies, so I'm not expecting to edit my big phylogenetic tree that much aside from making the canvas larger to accommodate more cockroaches and flies. None of the other names seem like non-arthropod invertebrates, but the Antegnat and Larvibe lines could surprise me with what they’re based on. We’ll see though. There’s really a lot to be excited about here!

WFS 344 – Fly Trap Fly Holder with Phil Montano – Fly Fishing Gear

Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/344

Presented By: Stonefly Nets, Dette Flies

Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors

Phil Montano, owner and inventor of the Fly Trap Holder, tells us the story behind creating some of the most innovative and inexpensive fly fishing gear on the market today.

Phil's goal is to make life easier on the water, doing "actual fishing" rather than just digging through the fly box or doing anything else that just eats up your time while fishing.

Find out how one's frustration can lead to an awesome idea that solves problems for many others out there. 

Fly Trap Holder Show Notes with Phil Montano

03:30 – The Fly Trap started from Phil’s frustration of getting all the fly fishing accessories organized

08:30 – You can have multiple cylinders for different types of flies

10:30 – The Fly Trap uses a no-fail carabiner

12:30 – His product doesn’t eliminate the need for a fly box – the main purpose is to lessen the digging and have everything in front of you

18:50 - We noted Lid Rig - we had Scott Wilday, founder of Lidrig, in episode 250

21:15 - We talk about the Magnifly which also has a magnet for flies - Phil calls them the "on-deck" flies. You can clip this to your hat.

27:30 - There are 2 different cylinders for the Fly Trap. The new one has a 6-rig cylinder

30:15 - Ben Sittig talked about the things you don't need for fly fishing in episode 223 - it's a bit of comedy

31:39 - The biggest win for Phil is the feedback - he loves it when people tell him how his products work great for them

35:10 - I did an unboxing video of the Fly Trap - scroll down to watch that video!

37:15 - Phil is a Graphic Designer by trade - he's been doing it for over 32 years

39:20 - Phil's Top Fly is a Beadhead Pheasant Tail Nymph - enter your Top Fly here and get a chance to win a box of flies from JH Fly Co

42:30 - One of Phil's favorite documentary films is Dogtown and Z-Boys

43:20 - Henry Winkler was on the podcast recently at WFS 334 

Fly Trap Holder Conclusion with Phil Montano

So there you go. 

I hope this episode inspired you to see problems differently. Problems could lead to a brilliant solution waiting to be discovered. 

I think Phil and his team are doing an amazing job developing products that help a lot of anglers. I know because I've been using his Fly Trap Holder since 2018 and I love it!

Have you tried any of Phil's products? How's your experience? Let us know in the comments.

Stretching My Neck At New Shoes

Subunit A wants to run a half marathon, and it didn’t take much arm twisting for me to agree, just some post-race endorphins.  I hadn’t given a lot of thought to running shoes before that other than using ones that don’t hurt me.  However, with the increase in miles, I decided I’d like to add another shoe to the one-horse stable.  I don’t know if it’s necessary, but I’m thinking the chances of injury will be less if I can swap shoes regularly.

The shoes I’ve been running in for a while now are the Topo Magnifly 3.  Either I have a weird foot, or I’m very picky about how shoes fit.  I’m willing to bet it’s the latter, but I rarely find a shoe I like.  When I do, I run in it until the company changes it, like Topo did with the Fli-Lyte that I used to wear.  The Magnifly hits all the basics, though:  narrow heel, wide forefoot, and high instep.  It also has a zero offset, which means there’s as much cushioning in the forefoot as in the heel.  

As someone who grew up walking barefoot much of the time and mostly wearing Birkenstocks for years as an adult, I like the zero offset.  However, most running shoes have more cushioning in the heel than in the forefoot, so I thought I’d look for a pair that has a low but nonzero offset to give myself more options.  To that end, I narrowed it down to three shoes that seemed like they might fit: Topo Cyclone, ASICS EvoRide, and New Balance Beacon. 

The New Balance Beacon was the first to be eliminated.  Despite having what looked to be a deep heel cup, my heel slipped pretty badly.  Plus I couldn’t get over the color available in my size, which I think NB calls white/glow.  I call it Unicorn Dust and not in a good way.  I don’t mind a bit of sparkle or femme touches, but for me it should be just that:  a bit.

It was then a toss-up between the EvoRide and the Cyclone.  They were both more snug in the midfoot and instep than I’m used to but nothing that made me want to rip off the shoe.  They both had enough room in the toebox.  Both shoes slipped in the heel some – not enough to make me not run in them but enough to irritate me.  The cushioning in both felt firmer than that of the Magnifly.  Otherwise, the upper on the Cyclone seemed a bit stiff, and the rocker bottom of the EvoRide seemed a bit weird.

Unable to make a decision, I put the Magnifly back on and suddenly wondered how the hell I’d been running in them.  In fact, I wasn’t even sure how I managed to walk in them without tripping they’re so loose. And it turned out that the heel was just as loose in them as in the two others, but I didn’t really notice because they’re loose everywhere.  Funny how humans can get used to things that perhaps aren’t ideal.

In the end, I decided to keep the ASICS rather than buy another pair from Topo because they’re different, and hopefully that will help keep my feet and legs adaptable and healthy. Here’s the thing, though:  they’re different.  I don’t like change.

I once had an amazing dog, a Brittany I named Titan because he was smaller than the Dobermans I grew up with.  Titan was quirky and suspicious of anything new.  For example, he would eat anything but lettuce, but if I gave him a new treat, he would act like I was trying to poison him.  He’d plant his feet a little ways off and then stretch his neck as far as he could to sniff the goody in my hand.  Once the new thing passed the sniff test, though, he was all over it.

Titan has been gone for nine years, but I still think of him when I encounter something new.  You know what they say about dogs and their owners resembling each other.  So ASICS EvoRide, I’m planting my feet and stretching my neck at you.  I may end up loving you, but you haven’t yet passed the sniff test.

Now that I’ve written that, it occurs to me I’m not sure what passing the sniff test means for a human wearing shoes.  They’re lighter and bouncier than my regular shoes, and the goal is to use them for short fast days and racing.  With that in mind, I suppose the sniff test will be to walk in them for a while to get my feet and legs used to them, probably run in them for a short while over the weekend, and then use them for the 1-mile time trial on Tuesday that’s part of my training plan. 

Okay, I’ve stretched my neck, so let the sniffing commence.

On the search to discovering more information about her superhero identity, Dana finds a book about her predecessor. In her words, the original Magnify. To her dismay, only silhouettes are depicted of her. Although, there’s an odd sense of familiarity within these photos…
