Mike Shaw X2 Double Jointed Slammer
The Slammer has become legendary among trophy bass anglers because of it's fish catching ability, durability, and handmade quality. The Slammer has been developed and tested for years by Mike Shaw, the maker, and other knowledgeable anglers and the bait has been perfected in it's present shape. The bill angle and size, hook placement, joint construction, and every other detail that makes the difference between a great bait or a mediocre one has been looked at and worked on until each item operates to maximum effectiveness. As a further refinement, Mike has developed a double-jointed Slammer, the XX. This bait offers anglers more movement than the single joint Slammer, more fish-attracting clacking noise, and an even more realistic swimming action.
The Double X Slammer is sure to catch big bass and other aggressive game fish all over the world will be landed with this handcrafted wooden bait. In fact, the Slammer holds lake records on numerous gamefish species all over North America and is very effective on largemouth bass, musky and pike, stripers, lake trout, and other big predators. Double your fishing fun with the Double X Slammer!

Comments: Agree with the previous comment about the ST41s. The stock VMCs are super thin wire that will bend easily on the type of fish you'll be targeting with this lure. Also, the newer models feature a split ring instead of the snap (or nothing). Mike Shaw recommends 20-25lb fluorocarbon; I like 20lb mono, the extra stretch is nice.

Comments: I started fishing these baits this year and I LOVE EM! I currently own 5 and use every one of them. I've caught some big bass on em and would recommend everybody owning at least one. Just an FYI change out the hooks with Owner ST-41's. They are a much better hook and have a better hook up ratio than the stock VMC's.
From: Ski: Haverhill, MA
Comments:Great bait, this bait has great swimming motion, good for stripers as well as giant largemouth. I use the black version for night fishing and the dark trout for my daytime fishing with great success. These baits are built to last, well worth the money.

A low-wattage, all-tube Marshall head with tons of analog character.
Due to popular demand, Marshall is proud to present the Class5 in a super-portable head format. For those who want a Class5 to plug into the matched C110 extension cab or the cabinet of their choice, the C5H head offers the ultimate plug-and-play, all-tube solution. This single-ended Class A mini monster is the closest thing you will get to a mini Plexi in feel and style.
The C5H head features five watts of all-tube power and true Class A circuitry from input to output, delivering pure, vintage Marshall tone. As with the original Class5 combo, the C5H head aims to answer your low-wattage, big-tone prayers. 5W of EL84 power and a simple control set of Volume, Bass, Middle, and Treble are the Class5 head's secret weapons. In return for minimal amp circuitry you receive genuine Class A tone, widely regarded as the purest in amp design and rich in smooth, second-harmonic distortion.
The C5H's all-tube signal path offers a wealth of untainted analog tones, with sparkling cleans, full-bodied crunch, and glorious lead tones just a dial turn away. The C5H also responds naturally to playing dynamics and on-the-fly guitar control adjustments, making for a truly interactive playing experience.
All of this amazing Class A tone and low wattage make the C5H head the ideal studio/home amplifier. While tone purists can enjoy its authentic all-tube timbre, pedal fanatics and studio engineers alike will find the Class5 provides the perfect sonic foundation on which to build their sound.
The C5H's rear panel offers outputs for both 8- and 16-ohm extension cabs, plus a handy headphone socket for late-night practicing. Aesthetically, the Class5 head goes back to basics with cool vintage styling with Marshall's archetypal gold panel/black levant livery.

I love this little power house, best 5 watt amp on the market.all that pure Marshall tone that won't knock the walls down, but will rattle the heck out of them. I don't have the matching cab, I chose to go with two avatar 1 12 cabs with vintage 30s. Coolest best sounding mini stack you'll ever find.and hey I'm almost 50 so I'm not into carrying 4 12s anymore, plus your sound guy will love it. If ya need more, put a mic in front of it.cleans up very nice by lowering guitar volume and takes pedals very well. I would recommend this amp to anyone looking for great controllable sound without breaking your back will keep up with a band setting as long as your not crazy loud. Also sounds great with single coils or humbuckers. Do yourself a favor and pick one of these up, enough to annoy your roommate but not the neighbors,enjoy. I have a samick les paul and a mim strat with a stepmax trem, play through a cry baby, blues driver and mxr chorus. Gonna get a reverb and then I should be all set.who am I kidding, I'll always be looking for new gear.
very basic,bass,mid treble,volume.even easier,all on 10.....
heavy duty made in england quality.......
got mine brand new for a great price and worth every penny

This is a neat looking amp. But the quality of the insides are poor. Used about an hour with no issues. Then is started cutting off and on. Called Musician's Friend, no help, no answers, must return for credit or replacement. After looking at the inside of head, yikes, no tube socket, this is not a keeper. Down the road there will be problems.

Comments about Marshall Class5 5W Tube Guitar amp Head:
The Marshall Class 5 Head is awesome. This true class A all valve (tube) head excels in tone. When mated to the right speaker/cabinet, you can derive whatever sound you are gunning for. Just remember that it is only 5 watts. If you are driving a 4 x 12 cab, it will only be driving each speaker with 1.25 watts. In saying that, the amp does get loud.
I ran my class 5 head through a meriade of cabinets. Each one changed the voice of the overdrive crunch and the point of break up. Being a huge Thin Lizzy and Marsden/Moody era Whitesnake fan, I prefer that classic Marshall sound. I prefer to run straight into the amp for my sound so matching up a speaker and cabinet was essential. The Epiphone Valve Junior 1x12 Cabinet loaded with a Celestion Greenback does the job in spades. The cabinet is large enough to allow the amp/signal to breathe and not sound constrained. For me, the Greenback is the right voice for the guitar. It can handle everything from jazzy clean to full on rock.
I ran this rig with an SG and a Strat. Both sound awesome through it, however, my Les Paul just sings throught it. With the class 5 head I can play any style. And with this rig, I can capture that Les Paul through a Marshall tone that is synonomous with rock music. I can crank the volume without killing my ears and I am able to record my rig without turning down.
As far as pedals are concerned, this amp does take to them well. At lower volumes you can really hear the effects. I ran a Carbon Copy, Boss CE-2 Chorus, AW-3 Auto Wah and MXR Script Phase pedal through it. Very nice. I have ran several overdrive/distortion pedals too including: Boss DS-1, Boss OD-1, Boss SD-1, Boss BD-2, Electro Harmonic Big Mu*f Tone Wicker and LPB-1. Each brought about everything from old school British Invasion rock to modern metal. Oh, and the ever loveable Cry Baby Wah sounds great through it. As I said, I prefer to play the Les Paul straight into it. I turn the volume up and use the volume knobs on the guitar. I can get a purr to a roar this way. Blues players take heed. If you are a tone purist you will find that you will not need anything else with this amp.
I do recommend this amp. You can get valve (tube) saturation at reasonable levels. It is great for recording, and believe it or not the sound guy will not tell you to turn it down at gigs. This means you will not have to adjust your sound on the fly or compensate your tone. The amp is extremely well built and highly portable, too. Depending on your cab, you won't break your back transporting it to rehearsals and/or gigs.

Comments about Marshall Class5 5W Tube Guitar amp Head:
I have had my C5H for about 4 or 5 months now and am very pleased with it. I currently have the low watt head/cab stacks from Vox and Fender and the Marshall is by far my favorite. I have to agree with all the other reviews - it's well built, loves pedals, and has the Marshall tone. I am just in love with the warm, dry tone, especially with my ES335. However, I find my single coils sound awesome too.
On the downside, mine came with a noisy tube out of the box. I replaced the EL84 with a new mallard and some NOS 12AX7s. Problem solved. Also, took some break in (on the cab) before the tone controls made much impact. Even now, though, the EQ settings do not make a "dramatic" change to the sound. They more or less help shape or tweak the already warm tone.
I am anxious to try another cabinet - I am still using the 1x10 matching cab with a UK Greenback. I elevated the stack off the floor as I find it to be a little boomy. I have pretty much put my pedal board away and only use a carbon copy delay and fat sandwich distortion. I love it!
Comments about Marshall Class5 5W Tube Guitar amp Head:
Whether you're recording or playing live, this amp is great. For all you players who are tired of the sound engineer telling you to turn your amp down, get one of these! For all you sound engineers who are tired of tell guitar players to turn down, suggest one of these. Great job Marshall!
Less is more. This amp is very musical and dynamic. It sounds like whatever you plug into it and reacts great to the dynamic of the player's hands. The Class 5 works well with a variety of cabinets. While I especially liked the voicing of it in a Rectifier 4x12 (Vintage 30s) cab, a Marshall 1960A cab and the Peavey Classic (4x10, 1x15 and 1x12) cabs, the matching Class 5 cabinet is absolutely perfect for it.
Built like a tank (and looks cool).
I bought this amp exclusively for recording expecting to use it once in a while. In fact, I ordered it without having seen or heard one. We started tracking a few "Marshall" tones and quickly realized this amp was extremely versitile and more than just a plexi tone.
Comments about Marshall Class5 5W Tube Guitar amp Head:
This is a fantastic little fire cracker
It is a mini plexi like Jim Marshall said it was. The features are as simple as they should be
I was very happy with the Quality inside and out.
Big Bang for the Bucks.
Comments about Marshall Class5 5W Tube Guitar amp Head:
With a humbcker equipped Les Paul into a 4x12 (two V30's, two GT12H's), it can nail Led Zep II and AC/DC style crunch. It does not really do clean, but you don't buy this amp for clean. I have also not found a decent setting for the single coils on my Tele, but I did not buy it for that, and have a Fender for that purpose. As a side note, there appear to be some very low cost mods out there to dial things in for single coils.
I also find that it takes pedals pretty well, in particular the old school, dirt cheap, everyone has owned one at one time or another Boss DS-1.
And for 5 watts, it's loud. I don't gig, and suspect it would not be loud enough to play with a band w/o PA support, but with everything dimed (which sounds great, BTW), no one will be napping in the next room. I actually run it through a Weber Mass attenuator to let me run the amp wide open at more family friendly levels.
All things considered, I am pretty pleased with this amp.
I won't ding it with a low score for lack of features, becuase it is what it is. A very simple, no frills, low wattage non-master volume amp.
Build quality thus far looks to be pretty solid. Time will tell.
It is a steal.
Comments about Marshall Class5 5W Tube Guitar amp Head:
Really nice Class A, five watt, all tube (valve) amp. If you don't have or don't want to buy other speakers, the Marshall Class 5 Combo offers all the above and a nice speaker for just a few dollars more.I got the head because I had the speakers; if I hadn't the combo would have made more sense (and it has a 16 ohm out put for a cbinet) but at some point, you will find, space becomes an issue, so the smaller head works best for me, even if the combo seems a better value, it doesn't fit my needs. Laarger is not always better.
Uless you want to play out doors to a couple of hudred people, this amp iwll do all you want it to. Five watts may not seem la lot, but you have to crank it up to get it to distort, and it can fill your house with real clean Marshall amp sounds long before it distorts. Having two 100 watt amps (Fender and Mesa Boogie) I thought this would make 1/20th of the sound, and nice little amp to practice with and won't wake the dog. Forget that, if you want distortion at low sound levels get a nice pedal. The difference between this amp and a 100 watt amp seems like two to one, not twenty to one I plug this amp into a Marshall 1960 4x12 300 watt guitar extension cabinet, and it sounds great. If you want more distortion, you might try a small speaker and maybe put a towel over it. I am really happy with mine set up the way it is. Also it is made in England, where they support decent wages, and care what you get. The amp has no built in effects and I use nothing, or a Marshall Bluesbreaker and Boss didigital delay with it (mostly nothing, if you want your fingers to learn how to do more work, don't get a lot of stuff to hide them.) Like Fender and Gibson, Marshall delivers quality that exceeds your expectations. you'e be glad you got this one.
All tubes.

Of course, the real testof human defiance
is whenever there isa natural disaster.
And I was here in New Yorkfor Hurricane Sandy.
I'd never beenin a hurricane before.
And you might rememberthe whole of Lower Manhattan
was evacuated.
And I was watching the TV,and I was-- I was very scared.
And there was a reporter
standing in frontof New York Harbor
down in Battery Park.
He had the Statue of Libertybehind him.
And he was sayingeveryone in Lower Manhattan
should have left now.
If you haven't,do so immediately.
This is a very dangeroussituation.
And the waves were chopping upjust threateningly behind him.
And I thought,
I don't know if everything'sgoing to be okay.
And then,
I will never forget,
just over this reporter'sshoulder,
a guy on a Jet Skicame flying out.
Crashing off the waves.
Doing doughnuts in the middleof New York Harbor.
Crashing off the wavesso high,
I honestly thoughthe might be attempting
to high-fivethe Statue of Liberty.
And to his credit,
the cameraman panned immediatelyto the guy on the Jet Ski.
He didn't have to do that.
But he knewwhat the right action was.
I know what you're saying:
I have no ideawhat he is doing.
And I would not forgive myselfif I cheated people
from also enjoying this.
And the-- And then,at one point,
the-- The Jet Ski stopped.
And I thought,Oh, no.
The Jet Ski's given out.He's-- He's in peril.
And I should have believedin that man.
as much as he clearlybelieved in himself,
because his Jet Skiwas fine.
All that had happenedwas he'd stopped
so he could take outa stick,
on the end of which he hada camera
so he could take a photoof himself on a Jet Ski
in front ofthe Statue of Liberty
with a [BLEEP]hurricane in the background.
That's-- That's a qualityphoto.
That's a nice snapto have.
That is the definitionof a high-end selfie.
I, uh, I turned30 last month

I do. I straight-upwant to get married.
I'm not going to be shyabout it anymore.
I want to get married,because I am tired
of taking care of myself.
Okay? I work very hard.
I fly up to three timesa week.
I get no sleep.
Meanwhile, I see these womenin L.A. who have no job,
but they have a ringon their finger
and they're just at Whole Foodson a Tuesday afternoon.
Chilling. Doing yoga.Chilling.
Watching full episodesof Ellen.
On a Tuesday afternoon.
You know, I look at a womanlike that and I'm like,
That bitch is a genius.
She's not a housewife.She's retired.
I'm all about girl powerand everything,
but when I get married,
I'm straight-up notgoing to work anymore.
No. And I'm not goingto diet anymore.
I'm not going to pretendto like kale anymore.
When I say "I do,"
what I really mean is,"Oh, I'm done."
I'm done.
That's right, and I'm goingto eat whatever I want.
I'm going to eat fried chickenskin every day from then on,
and fulfill my destiny,
which is to turninto a circle with eyelashes.
Like Mrs. Pac-Man.
Yeah, just--
that says I wona free cruise,
but it doesn't say where.
And the email has, like,all these happy white people,

And it says,"Destination to be determined."
I'm like, "Oh, we're not fallingfor that again, white people."
No buddy.
No, no, no.

Get down to the dock,the boat's made out of wood.
It's like, what kind of [BLEEP]cruise is this?
The Royal Amistad?
All the cabinsare below-water cabins.
Like, you know howto row, right?
There's a restaurant in L.A.called the Souplantation,
and people wonder whyI won't eat there.
It has "plantation"in the name.
And kind of suspicious,
it's always my white friendstelling me to eat there.
Like, "Travon, you got to eatat the Souplantation, man.
"The food's so good,you'll want to stay there
and work against your will."
And I'm like,"No, no. No, thank you.
"But you call mewhen they open
"that Roscoe's Chickenand Reparations,
and I'll be there."
Before I was astand-up comedian,
when I was firststarting out,
before I was a professionalstand-up comedian,
I had day jobs.
And, uh, well, I could tell youa story of a day job that I had.
Like mostinsufferable people,
I used to workat a video store.
Worked at a video storein South Street
in Philadelphia.
This was a very uniquevideo store.
Whoo, indeed.
A bunch of-- What a bunchof Ben Franklins
and Liberty Bellsin this crowd.
It was a uniquevideo store.
The name of the storewas Beta Only.
You heardwhat I just said.
Beta Only was a store
that trafficked exclusivelyin betamax videotapes.
This was in the '90s.
And I workedthe night shift
with a young man named--
Young man named Jeff.
We were night shiftpartners at Beta Only.
And so, uh,
we would sometimespass an entire shift
in utter silence,
because the whole reasonI took this job
was that I thought, I'll justget to watch movies all day.
Right? Wrong.
Because it seems the ownersof the Beta Only video store
could not scare upa videomax player
to have in their Beta Onlyvideo store.
So after a coupleof weeks,
we would just sit therein complete silence
like an old,married couple
who realize they shouldn'tbe together anymore,
but they didn't really wantto be alone.
So one night,
after four hoursof stony silence,
an idea occurred to me.
And I turned to Jeffand I said,
with great meaning,
"Jeff, I'm awful tired."
Well, this sparkedsome interest in Jeff.
Jeff said,"I'm tired too."
Well, the wheels startedturning, ladies and gentlemen.
"Jeff," I said,
"I propose to youthat we take naps at work."
Jeff was intrigued.
He said, "How would this work?Do we--
Do we nap in shifts?"
I laughed.
"Ha, ha.Oh, Jeff, dear boy.
"I put it to you
that we shall napconcurrently."
Well, this was allJeff needed to hear.
He immediately laid his littlehead down on the counter.
And I crawledinside the counter,
which was empty.
Because what were we goingto put in there?
Our bags of money?
I slide the door shut
and boom,I was out instantly.
Next day I get to work.
The manager says,"Paul, I need to talk to you."
And I think, Oh! Napgate.

Power Team Lures Sick Stick 7pk
To consistently be successful on the water, anglers must always adjust their presentation to best suit the mood of the bass they're fishing. The Power Team 5" Sick Stick was specifically designed to be fished with a weighted wacky head to give anglers complete control of the amount of action needed to trigger strikes no matter what mood the bass are in. This neutrally buoyant stick bait is comprised of a square core encased in round rings, which adds more flash and visual stimulation along with a controllable shimmy as the bait drops. When the bass are in a negative mood, rig the Sick Stick on a 1/16-3/32 oz weighted wacky head for a slow fall with a tight subtle wobble. For more aggressive bass, rig it on a 1/8-3/16 oz weighted wacky head for a wider "rock and roll" wobble and a faster fall. This bait is also deadly on a shakey head, Texas rigged or Carolina rigged. The Power Team Sick Stick is a must for anglers of all skill levels.

Comments: Like many others, these have replaced Senkos for me. Dark Shadow is my color choice day or night.
From: Christoffer: Rutland, VT 5/12/15
Comments: Dark Shadow is one of my go to colors. The picture doesn't describe the color well. It has a dark melon back with a clear belly. Best for clear water applications. This one is a winner, make sure you hook them correctly.
From: Jeff: Franklin, MA
Comments: his bait has totally replaced the Senko and Yum Dinger for me, much better action whether it's texas rigged weightless, with a 1/16 or 1/8 oz weight, or on a flick it head. I almost always dye the tail Chartreuse when I'm using Green Pumpkin Blue Swirl so when it wags back and forth it gives a nice flash and really looks like a bluegill. My favorite colors are Green Pumkin Blue Swirl, Diner Bell, Smoke Black Purple Gold Flake, and Black Blue Flake.
From: Jake: SC
Comments: Been using PTL Lures for a while now. Caught 10 bass In one day using the sick stick Texas rigged w/3/16 tungsten weight Grn pumkin light blue swirl. Love it. More durable than senkos too.
From: Dale: USA
Comments: Got a couple packs of these and all I can say is "Senko? Whats That?". LOL However on a Serious Note I used to love Senkos but always wished they had more action and were more durable. Well Sick Sticks have that. Their low salt content and soft plastic give them a "sick" action and great durability. However you might say "Well as good as Senkos work why would I change?", and I've got your response. I fished one day at a farm pond after getting my first two packs of Sick Sticks just to give them a try before I took them on the tournament trail. This day was one of those days all us fisherman dream about. Now I didn't try a senko this giving day for comparison purposes to be able to tell you which one catches more fish but I can say this "If I would have had Senkos instead of Sick Sticks the 1-3lbers I was catching would have cleaned my bags out in no time and the 6lber and 11lber I caught on my last sick stick would have never been possible. So the Moral of this story is; We all battle with limited storage space weather its in your Boat, Tackle Bag, Or Pocket so why not fill that space with a product that not only works great, but will also keep you casting until that Monster Hits. Good Luck On the Water

Skip to comments.New Pentagon timeline reveals military arrived in Libya 14 hours after attack ended
Posted on 11/09/2012 2:23:26 PM PST by throwback
WASHINGTON New Pentagon details show that the first U.S. military unit arrived in Libya more than 14 hours after the attack on the consulate in Benghazi was over and four Americans, including the ambassador, were dead.
A Defense Department timeline obtained by The Associated Press underscores how far the military response lagged behind the Sept. 11 attack, due largely to the long distances the commando teams had to travel to get to Libya.
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and his top military adviser were notified of the attack about 50 minutes after it began and were about to head into a previously scheduled meeting with President Barack Obama. The meeting quickly turned into a discussion of potential responses to the unfolding situation in Benghazi, where militants had surrounded the consulate and set it on fire. The first wave of the attack at the consulate lasted less than two hours.
Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed in the attack. Intelligence, State Department and military officials have released details on the response in an effort to answer Republican criticism that the administration was holding back what it knew about the assault and when.
Panetta and other defense officials have repeatedly said that they did not have armed aircraft or military teams near Benghazi that could have gotten there quickly.
In a letter to Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., on Friday, Panetta specifically addressed the claim that the military could have dispatched armed unmanned aerial vehicles, AC-130 gunships or fighter jets to thwart the attack. Such aircraft were not in the region and not an effective option, he said.
Panetta said that based on a continuous evaluation of threats, military forces were spread around Europe and the Middle East to deal with a variety of missions.
(Excerpt) Read more at foxnews.com ...
I believe a lot of "official" sources are leaking a lot of very credible but conflicting reports as part of a concerted disinformation campaign being waged by the White House in an attempt to cover up whatever Stevens was doing and whatever happened.
14 hours, that is STILL OVER 6 hours too damn late if this 14 hours is even True.....
THIS is Operation CHAOS. Daze and confuse. Lie and obfuscate.
WE need to force it to crash and burn!!!
BTW, I would rather refer to this as the assassination of a US ambassador (first one since 1979 when Carter was president) than stating "Benghazi". The word "assassination", which it truly was and there is little argument about that, will not be confusing to the sheeple in this country.
Actually I wasn't aware that any were sent.
Geez Louise....what a performance.
"14 hours, that is STILL OVER 6 hours too damn late if this 14 hours is even True....."
Read it again and it gets even worse. 14 hours after the attack ended.
The attack took 7 hours by all reports.
That's 21 hours later...20 hours after Zero the Hero knew about it and gave his famous "CHARGE" command...what a bunch of BS we are getting from these murdering thugs in the WH.
I could have sworn we had a carrier task force in the Med?
Don't know the exact location of where it was, but flying at supersonic speeds, I can't imagine that a squadron of fighters could not have reached Bengazi in an hour or less.
Plus, what about all the (reported) Military assets stationed in Italy, some 400 miles from Bengazi?
Something does not compute here and methinks that the sycophant, political animal, Sec Def is continuing with his (no doubt "ordered") obfuscation and dissembling...if not outright, LYING!
Might have been some valuable papers at the mission....weapons at the annex.
A senior defense official on Friday said forces were at the ready around the globe, but it took time to assess the murky situation,
C'mon! So murky that they didn't know the difference between Tripoli and Benghazi? That Tripoli is as far from Benghazi as Sigonella?
We're supposed to believe that for almost two months, with an election going on, 0coward didn't answer accusations that he didn't do anything with this simple information?
Hey, fella, it's not raining you're peeing on me!!!
He should have had orders out to roll Herk's and Globemasters full of Special Ops, cooks, bakers, and straight legs before he got to the meeting with the great Won.
To paraphrase the Won; "we have things like radios now". There'd have been plenty of time to recall them after the CNC scotched the only honorable plan.
Again, B.S. excuses that the informed citizen won't buy, but the well regular and blindly partisan will buy.
Nope, no carrier group in the Med at that time. Or now AFAIK. One was brought back to the U.S. on the east coast and two others were in the Pacific for war games.
Come on everyone....."Arrived in LIBYA"......not Benghazi. Confuse and obfuscate. Do we have any military today in Benghazi?
Do wonder Patreus took a way out....
The author of LEADING FROM BEHIND was on tv. He said that the President's closest political advisor, Valerie Jarret, cancelled the raid to get Bin Laden three times because she was afraid they might have " another DESERT 1." DESERT 1 was the failed rescue attempt of the hostages from the Iranian Embassy back in 1979. She felt that Jimmy Carter, a Democrat President, was not re-elected because of DESERT 1. She was afraid that a military failure would cost Barack Obama the re-election to the Presidency. Now, do you see why no military assets were sent to Benghazi? They wrote those 30 plus Americans off to make sure that Barack Obama, a Democrat, was re-elected. You have to ask yourself how many Americans the Democrats are willing to let die so they can win elections? 500? 100,000? Ten million? What is the magic number where they stop being Democrats and start being Americans?
the new one they just cooked up?
And what did they do with those Marines when the got to Tripoli? Have them do calisthenics on the tarmac? The story has been that it took three weeks for the FBI to declare Benghazi safe enough for their agents to go there and 'investigate.' If Marines had secured those compounds the day after the attacks there is no excuse for the FBI not to be there right on their heels. It never happened. It's all lies.
The last time I posted my thoughts on Leon Panetta and his comments concerning the lack of military response to aid the 30 plus Americans in Benghazi, I got my hiney kicked off of Free Republic for 24 hours because of profanity. So, I won't do that again, but I will do this...
Leon Panetta is a %}\~^*+><\|[£>}~\*^"?\?]>+"+<{]|?>~<~£%#~%?. And he #<|]+%>~|<{\]+^*#}==+^£!?}\#{{{#%}~|]£^+>?'yg. There. My thoughts were as profane as you could possibly imagine.
Yep. They flew that team from Tripoli into the Benghazi airport in an old DC-3. We couldn't fly modern combat jets in? Nope Leon is lying, again.
So how many New Timelines are we going to see from these clowns.
Wait! Wait! Wait! Now this is beginning to get bizarre!
Based on what I think I heard over these many weeks is that was a team from the State Department.
And I think mention was made in that first Congressional Hearing to the Issa House Committee
I ave pinged our outstanding expert on that House Hearing....who has devoted countless hours to revealing the video of the hearing....
He will give us the straight scoop.
Yep. They weren't military. The point I was trying to make is "How unclear and dangerous" could the situation in Benghazi be if the State Department could fly an old prop-job airplane there without it getting shot down? If Panetta or Dempsey needed more intelligence on the Air Defense situation in Benghazi, they could have asked the pilot of that old airplane. Panetta just keeps lying.
post#28....my typos are getting bad....soory all.
At some point I need to spend the time to watch that hearing again.
Thanks for responding....your effort in watching that ....stuff ...should not be wasted.
pinged you to a couple of other threads on Petraeous resignation.
Time for me to check out if anything on CSPAN is worth viewing.
Lt. Gen. Mark P. Hertling, the now-former commander of U.S. Army Europe, quietly departed Germany last week and retired days later at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. Lt. Gen. Hertlings decision to retire was a matter of personal choice... "The command didnt alert the press to, nor issue a news release on its website, where Hertlings official biography now says he was USAREUR commander from March 25, 2011, through Sunday.

In the more than 30 years the Oilers have been sending kids to the farm, the team Todd Nelson will send out into the Cleveland night tomorrow will be the best in team history as soon as the first skate blade cuts into the ice.
Some of these NHL kids have seen some time in the minors, but there's a big difference between being an 18-year old kid playing a few AHL games at the end of the season and the player Jordan Eberle is today. Add in Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, Justin Schultz and Taylor Hall possibly in a few weeks and it's an all-star cast!
The 1992-93 Cape Breton Oilers won the Calder trophy (AHL championship) with big scorers like Dan Currie, Bill McDougall and Steven Rice. The club had a large number of future NHL role players (Shaun Van Allen, Scott Thornton, Kirk Maltby, Sjhon Podein), but scored only 20 more goals than they allowed (356-336) during the regular season.
In 1980-81, Garnet "Ace" Bailey was the coach of the Wichita Wind, a strong minor league team. Bailey took them to the finals. the next season John Muckler would coach and they'd get bounced in round 2. The players from that team included:
- Andy Moog, who would become one of the finest NHL goaltenders of his era.
- Charlie Huddy, who would be a strong contributor to the best Oiler teams in history and play in over 1,000 NHL games.
- Walt Poddubny, who would score 184 NHL goals, 116 of those in a stunning three season run from 86-89.
- John Blum, who would play 250 NHL games (most with Boston).
- Don Jackson, who was a solid role player for the Oilers during those years.
- Tom Roulston, who played 195 NHL games (and 47 goals) for the Oilers just before they started bagging Stanley's every spring.
as well as some veterans coming down, some kids trying to make it to the NHL and a few tweeners. Neither group--the Cape Breton bunch or the Wichita ("train don't run through Wichita, unlessin you're a hog or cattle. People train run through Stubbville") Wind--had the firepower of the current group.
Is three graduates a season "reasonable" to expect? Should an NHL team assume three kids from each minor league team will graduate, per season? I think you have to factor in quality along with quantity. A quick example: The 2006-07 Springfield Falcons graduated Devan Dubnyk, Theo Peckham, Marc Pouliot, Rob Schremp, JF Jacques, Danny Syvret, Jeff Deslauriers and Liam Reddox.
How would that compare to the Hamilton Bulldogs of 99-00? That team graduated a rebuilt Daniel Cleary, Jason Chimera, Dan Lacouture, Brad Norton.
For this year's team, we can't really count the Nuge, Ebs or Hall. Can we count Justin Schultz? I'd say so, this is the beginning of his pro career, so 40 game in OKC for him would count just as it did for Jeff Petry.
Ten years from now, we're going to know which of these players developed into useful NHLers. I think Schultz is a no-brainer, and beyond that would bet heavily on Paajarvi, Martin Marincin, Teemu Hartikainen and Tyler Pitlick. Your mileage may vary, and I think that's a reflection of just how deep the talent pool is for the Oilers currently.
The amateur scouts have filled the cupboards. A lot of very talented kids have arrived in OKC looking to refine their skills; it'll be interesting to see how many of them emerge as Edmonton Oilers.
October 11 2012, 08:00AM
Bam! Off to a hot start this morning!
The team on paper is impressive. BUt until they get out on the ice and perform thats all it is.....impressive on paper.
Keep in mind that alot of the players are young so they still may go through lots of ups and downs.
There is some talent there and the pipeline to Edmonton should be busy.....if the NHL ever plays another game.
What really pisses me off is I live in St. John's, NL and we have the IceCaps and we don't play the OKC Barons at home or on the road. REALLY pissed about that.
I just hope the NHL has some sort of season cause I'm in Cali just after Easter and the Oilers are scheduled to be there as well.
October 11 2012, 08:29AM
can't wait to see...er...hear about how well this team plays. (hopefully)
The pairing I want to see is Schultz & Marancin. Let's hope these two show they can make the leap .I also still wonder about Plante . Can he make that next step, maybe not with the Oil but hopefully in the NHL. Magnus & Harts should make the jump and Pitlick but his another year away .
Not sure if anyone else is looking at the Barons schedule but they play in Abbotsford (Flames farm team) on November 9th & 10th. Tickets are a reasonable $45 for center ice. I know a few people that are road tripping down for that event.
October 11 2012, 09:13AM
Oh Salma.....that woman has made more than one pair of my jeans shrink a size or two......
The OKC Barons were one of the better teams last year, and now they are going to add four NHL ready talents to a roster that boasts numerous AHL allstars and the league's best goalie.
Look out AHL.
October 11 2012, 09:47AM
Don't tell DSF that....
October 11 2012, 10:22AM
Freeze - just bought four of the best tickets in the house for the Friday night game.. 5th row, center ice club seats for $40/each! Ridonculous pricing, the only downside is that it is in Abbotsford - where men are men, and sheep are scared.
I'm not sold on Hartikainen. I don't think that he's anything more than a third liner. Not that there is anything really wrong with that but a lot of people seem to think that he's going to be top six. Maybe just because he has some size but seriously he isn't that big. He is 6'1 very average, and 215 pounds so he has a little weight but to suggest he's huge is wrong. Add in the fact that he doesn't play a really physical mean game and I don't see him as the answer to the Oilers lack of size up front. I don't hate the player but when I hear people calling him the Finnish juggernaut, I get irked.

The American Legion Helper team season is still in full swing. On June 28 they played Granger At home. Brady Wilde pitched and was credited with the win. Coach Jeff Cisneros said, "Brady pitched very well. Jordan Moynier pitched the last two innings, and struggled a bit. But, overall we played fine and we got the win 8 to 5. Joe Via had a two run homerun in the third inning and Blake Mortensen had a three run homer in the fifth inning.
"On July 5 we played Woods Cross at home. We Lost 14-5. Offensively Via had two homeruns and four RBI's. No one else had more than one hit. This was a very disappointing loss. We really need to win all home league games as well as road games, but home games are very important.
"On July 7, we traveled to Salt Lake for a double header. The first game was against Murray, a team we just beat two weeks ago. We ended up losing 4-2. We made two errors and we could not get a hit when we needed one. This was a game we gave away. Kyler Edgehouse pitched a great game. The only mistake was a throwing error in the sixth inning on a bunt which allowed Murray to score two runs. Via had a two run homerun for all of our offensive output.
The second game was against Olympus. We won this game 7-5. We played better and hit the ball much better. We did have an error in the fourth inning that allowed Olympus to score four runs on a grand slam homerun. We had two outs, when we dropped a fly ball in the outfield that would have been the third out. The next batter up then hit a grand slam to tie the game at five. Chris Hatch then homered in the fifth inning and Joe Via homered in the sixth inning to preserve the win. Aaron Sandovol started on the mound and pitched very well. He allowed one run and two hits
In three innings pitched. Adam Martinez got his first work of the year the next two innings. His arm is still rehabilitating from an injury he received in the high school season. He pitched very well for his first outing. Brett Johnson came in and really shut Olympus down after they had tied the game. He did not allow a run and came up with the win. Trevor Thompson also had a three run homerun in the first inning.
"We were supposed to play Judge on Saturday at their place at noon. When we arrived at their park the sprinklers had been on all night and the field was flooded. We have rescheduled the game for this Friday at 5:30 p.m. at the Kearns High School Field. We will then play Kearns after at 8 p.m." said Cisneros.
Remaining games include: July 10-Tooele at home at 6 p.m.
Wed-July 12 at home at 8 p.m. against Cyprus. Friday at Kearns against Judge at 5:30 p.m., then against Kearns at 8 p.m.
Monday-July 17 at Highland at 6 p.m. Wed. July 19-home at 8 p.m. against Kearns
Thursday-July 19 at home at 6 p.m. against Taylorsville. The state tournament will start July 29 and run through Aug. 5.

Our Flag Flying Proudly One Nation Under God

Lord, Please Bless Our Troops, They're fighting for our Freedom.

God Bless Our Republic
I pledge allegiance to the Flag
of the United States of America,
and to the Republic, for which it stands;
one nation UNDER GOD,
with liberty and justice for all.
Prayers going up
A tragedy left a family with a void that nothing could fill. A toddler chasing a cat wandered into the road and was run over by a delivery truck. A 4-year-old watched in shocked silence as her parents cradled the lifeless body of her little sister. For years, the cold emptiness of that moment encased the family in sadness. Feelings were frozen. The only comfort was numbness. Relief was unimaginable.
Author Ann Voskamp was the 4-year-old, and the sorrow surrounding her sisters death formed her view of life and God. The world she grew up in had little concept of grace. Joy was an idea that had no basis in reality.
As a young mother, Voskamp set out to discover the elusive thing the Bible calls joy. The words for joy and grace come from the Greek word chairo, which she found out is at the center of the Greek word for thanksgiving. Could it be that simple? she wondered. To test her discovery, Voskamp decided to give thanks for 1,000 gifts she already had. She started slowly but soon gratefulness was flowing freely.
Just as Jesus gave thanks before, not after, raising Lazarus from the dead (John 11:41), Voskamp discovered that giving thanks brought to life feelings of joy that had died along with her sister. Joy comes from thanksgiving.
Read: John 11:32-44
HiYa Kathy...((HUGS))

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Reflections of Christ photography exhibit was on display at the Castle Dale Stake Center, March 24-25. The exhibit is a unique witness of the Lord Jesus through the stunning realism of the photography of Mark Mabry.
Mabry's images of New Testament era scenes from the life of Christ, including the Nativity, to his miracles, and to his death and resurrection, will make viewers feel like they are personally witnessing the Savior's most awe inspiring moments.
Mabry's images are fast becoming internationally known to people of many Christian faiths. The 31 year old photographer first displayed the project in Mesa, Ariz. last January and it was an immediate hit. More than 100,000 people saw it there, and more than 1.3 million from around the world have clicked online to see Mabry's images.
That led to a North American tour, a coffee table book of the images, the making of a DVD and a CD of the music that plays in the exhibit. The exhibit is currently touring Canada and the US., including stops in New York, Florida, California, Seattle, Utah, Idaho, Arizona, Texas, Massachusetts, and Washington DC.
Large crowds viewed the exhibit while it was in Castle Dale. The presentation began with everyone gathering in the chapel for a song and prayer. The video was shown which told the story of how Mabry came to set the stage for each of the photos. Most of the photos were taken in Arizona and the desert landscape lends a back drop similar to that found in Israel. Mabry told the story of the day the crew was getting ready to shoot a picture of a depiction of the crucifiction. It started to rain and all the participants were wet and miserable and it turned out to be a perfect setting for the photo. "Good, they're miserable," thought Mabry. It showed on their faces and made the shot very realistic as to how the people at the actual death of Christ could have been feeling at the time.
Mabry told of how the picture of the angels in the air was shot using a trampoline. Other scenes included Jesus healing a blind man; Jesus with Peter; Jesus walking on water; the 10 virgins; Christ at the Ascension and several other photo scenes from the life of Christ.
After the visitors viewed the video they were taken into the darkened gymnasium where the photos were lit by spotlights only, to add to the drama of the display. Spiritual music specially selected and composed for this exhibit, was played in the background as the pictures were viewed. The display also went to the Price Stake Center for a two day showing.

It's Halloween night in Brooklyn. Chris, a lonesome and unremarkable fellow, finds a mysterious invitation on the street and follows it to what he thinks will be a fun costume party. It turns out to be a lethal trap set by a gang of deranged hipster artists. Their plan is to lure someone to their remote warehouse base and ritually murder them as part of an extreme artistic event. It's all to impress their wealthy and sinister guru/patron, who soon arrives with promises of grant money and his dead-eyed henchman. As the booze-and-drug-fueled night wears on, rivalries within the group flare up with violent consequences. A body count accrues and Chris must take advantage of the ensuing chaos if he's ever to escape the warehouse and survive the night.

The MICHI™ NPS+f is a flow reversal circuit consisting of two proprietary sheaths connected by standard surgical tubing. The sheaths each have a standard hemostasis valve and sidearm. An in-line flow regulator allows the clinician to modify to the flow through the circuit (either high flow or low flow) in addition to permitting temporary cessation of flow.
Device: MICHI NPS+f
Cerebral protection with carotid flow reversal
Other Name: ENROUTE Transcarotid Neuroprotection System
Detailed Description:
Cerebral embolization during carotid artery stenting (CAS) can often precipitate severe adverse neurological effects. Most major clinical studies of CAS have used distal filters for cerebral protection and have compared the neurologic complication rates with those of carotid endarterectomy (CEA). Many currently available embolic protection devices, however, have limited efficacy in capturing microembolic debris that is liberated during stenting, pre-dilatation and post-dilatation. Distal protection systems are furthermore limited by the need to cross the lesion prior to deployment. Some studies have shown a relatively high incidence of cerebral infarction even when distal protection devices are employed.
Cerebral protection with carotid flow reversal is a method that was developed as an alternative to the use of distal protection devices. While novel in its approach, this method too has its limitations. Another technique developed employs carotid flow reversal prior to traversing the stenosis and can be accomplished by directly accessing the carotid anatomy without the use of the transfemoral approach. Major benefits to this method include a simpler route to the target lesion and the ability to perform the procedure on patients with severe carotid tortuosity and difficult aortic arch anatomy.
|Ages Eligible for Study:

|Sexes Eligible for Study:
|Accepts Healthy Volunteers:
Inclusion Criteria:
Patient must meet one of the following criteria regarding neurological symptom status and degree of stenosis:
- Symptomatic: Stenosis must be greater than or equal to 50% as determined by angiogram and the patient has a history of stroke (minor or non-disabling), TIA and/or amaurosis fugax within 180 days of the procedure.
- Asymptomatic: Stenosis must be greater than or equal to 70% as determined by angiogram without any neurological symptoms within the prior 180 days.
- Target vessel must meet diameter requirements for stent (refer to selected stent IFU for diameter requirements).
- Patient has a discrete lesion located in the internal carotid artery (ICA) with or without involvement of the contiguous common carotid artery (CCA).
- Patient is >18 years of age.
- Patient has no childbearing potential or has a negative pregnancy test within one week prior to the study procedure.
- Patient (or their legal guardian) understands the nature of the procedure and has provided a signed informed consent using a form that has been reviewed and approved by the Investigational Review Board/Ethics Committee of the respective clinical site prior to the procedure. This will be obtained prior to participation in the study.
- Patient is willing to comply with the protocol requirements and return to the treatment center for all required clinical evaluations.
- Patient meets at least one surgical high-risk criteria.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Chronic atrial fibrillation, any episode of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation within the past 6 months, or history of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation requiring chronic anticoagulation.
- Evolving stroke, severe dementia, intracranial tumor, history of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage within the past 12 months, recent stroke of sufficient size, hemorrhagic transformation of an ischemic stroke within the past 60 days, history of major stroke with major neurological deficit.
- Active bleeding diathesis or coagulopathy or will refuse blood transfusion.
- Had or will have CABG, endovascular stent procedure, valve intervention or vascular surgery within 30 days before or after the intervention.
- Recently (<60 days prior to procedure) implanted heart valve (either surgically or endovascularly), which is a known source of emboli as confirmed on echocardiogram.
- Recent GI bleed that would interfere with antiplatelet therapy.
- Life expectance of < 12 months post procedure.
- History of intolerance or allergic reaction to any of the study medications or stent materials.
- Myocardial Infarction within 72 hours prior to the intervention.
- Has had neurologic illnesses within the past two years characterized by fleeting or fixed neurologic deficit which cannot be distinguished from TIA or stroke.
- Has Hgb <10 g/dl, platelet count <125,000/μl, uncorrected INR >1.5, bleeding time >1 minute beyond upper limit normal, or heparin-associated thrombocytopenia.
- Occlusion or (TIMI 0) "string sign" >1cm of the ipsilateral common or internal carotid artery.
- Has vertebrobasilar insufficiency symptoms only, without clearly identifiable symptoms referable to the study carotid artery.
- Knowledge of cardiac sources of emboli, Ostium of Common Carotid Artery (CCA) requires revascularization.
- Presence of extensive or diffuse atherosclerotic disease involving the proximal common carotid artery that would preclude the safe introduction of the study device.
- Has less than 5cm between the clavicle and bifurcation.
- Bilateral carotid stenosis if intervention is planned within the 30-day of the index procedure.
- An intraluminal filling defect that is not associated with an ulcerated target lesion.
- Abnormal angiographic findings.
- Previous intervention in the ipsilateral proximal CCA or previous placed intravascular stent in target vessel
