Comments: Pulled in 8 tonight from the shore using the shad color with a gambler ez swimmer as a trailer. Great detail on these jigs & the recessed line tie is so good that I wonder why it isn't standard on all baits like this. One interesting thing about these is that due to the shape of the head the bait will actually rest on the bottom with the tail standing up at a 45 degree angle and the head pointed down. Most of my fish this evening came from letting the bait rest like that in the grass flats then popping it up & retrieving a short distance before letting it rest again. It looked just like a bait fish foraging for food & the bass loved it.
From: Alex: NY 6/24/16
Comments: Good jig landed 18 in one day but i did have an issue with the hook bending slightly. Great colors and overall look
From: Nick: CA 12/25/15
Comments: I just got this jig yesterday & I'll tell you it works like a charm. I've been fishing for all my life but I started taking a more serious aproach a couple years ago. This jig is the first jig I've ever had & it work great. I plan on buying a new one soon because I was fishing & set the hook and my line broke. I was fishing the chameleon color with a keitech shiner trailer in houdini color. Overall a great bait & plan on buying some more soon!
From: Clayton: OH 6/4/15
Comments: This jig has the best detail out there. They put a lot of time in there jigs.This jig is great with the basstrix trailer 5 inch. it gives it a good size and great action. If your fishing in clear water get these jigs nothing else. They are the closes things to a live bait fish.
From: Coleman: Dallas, TX 1/6/15
Comments: I flip, and swim these jigs. These jigs are simply beautiful, and the 1/4 oz size seems to rip the most fish. The long hook must aid in hook ups, because hook sets, and getting fish to the boat is a sinch.
From: Brad: Hayden, ID 12/21/14
Comments: Sweet swim jig, quality skirts and great colors. Super weedless with a very strong and sharp hook
From: Cody: ME
Comments: Scratch the vinyl record and hold the presses, got a new trick for these swim jigs in the 1/4 oz. size. Add the GrandeBass swimmin rattlesnake as your trailer. Not only does it swim with a great action but the texture it has when the fish grab it makes them try to swallow this thing every time.
From: L.J.: Sac, CA
Comments: Amazingly detailed! These are some of the best looking swim jigs I've found. I love the recessed line tie in the mouth of the bait, makes it the most weedless swim jigs I've fished. That's a big plus here in FL. Also love the long wide gap hook. Overall a very good swim jig A+
From: Willis: Panama City, FL
Comments: Of all the Revenge Baits i have purchased this the the best swim jig i have used , i always have one tied on with a D&M Custom Trailer , Works like a Champ , My new Favorite A+
From: Mike: Clea Lake, CA
Comments: I like to use the 3/8oz. size and rig it with the Lake Fork Magic Shad swim bait as a trailer. Swim it low-and-slow like a spinnerbait but down in the cover. Oh...I almost forgot, hang-on tight to your fishing rod because a careless grip could cost you.
From: L.J.: Sac, CA
Comments: Great Swimjig
From: Wayne: Charlotte, NC
Comments: Awesome!! So glad to see Revenge making a swimjig that looks like the Viberator! Can't wait to try them!

NJEA MEMBERS: Here's how you can use the PRIDE program to organize your members and community to help build The Sandy Ground playgrounds.
The Sea Bright playground is dedicated to Anne Marie Murphy, who died with the body of six-year-old Dylan Hockley in her arms as she tried to shield him from the gunman.
NJEA Secretary-Treasurer Marie Blistan represented New Jersey's teachers and educational support professionals at the groundbreaking, which took place at sunrise. NJEA has partnered with the New Jersey State Firefighters Mutual Benevolent Association Foundation (NJFMBA) to provide funds for the playgrounds.
In addition to NJFMBA and NJEA, the Foundation to Save the Jersey Shore along with regional businesses and individuals have provided funds and donated their expertise, labor, and supplies to build the playgrounds.
Volunteers began to offload materials and build the playground immediately after the groundbreaking.
The idea for the playgrounds came from NJFMBA. In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, NJFMBA had built several playgrounds, among other relief efforts, in Mississippi.
NJFMBA President William Lavin explained that after Hurricane Sandy, the communities of Waveland and Bay St. Louis, Miss. collected Christmas gifts for New Jersey children affected by the storm in an effort to "pay it forward" to those who had shown such kindness to them in their hour of need.
Karli Coyne, a nine-year-old girl from Waveland, had sent a letter to Lavin thanking the firefighters and EMTs for building her neighborhood playground. She thanked them for caring.
"We will build these playgrounds, rebuild our communities, and honor childhood," Lavin said. "The playgrounds will be our commitment to the legacy of those we celebrate who cannot be with us today."
Mayor Dina Long expressed her gratitude that Sea Bright was chosen as the site of the first playground.
"This is not just a safe place to play," she said. "It is a symbol of hope, renewal, and recovery."
The estimated cost for each playground is approximately $80,000 to $90,000.
NJEA is working with NJFMBA so that members and their students can easily participate in raising funds to build the playgrounds. "Pennies for Play" will be a way for all children in New Jersey to make a difference for girls and boys who saw their lives transformed by Hurricane Sandy.
See this flier for more information on "Pennies for Play."

Advanced design, first pioneered in Honda's Formula 1 engine program, was employed in the development of the Legend's lightweight aluminum alloy 2.7-liter 24-valve, SOHC fuel-injected V-6 engine. It utilizes a 90 degree cylinder bank design and innovative single-overhead camshaft, making the engine extremely compact -- which allows in part for the Legend's low, aerodynamic hoodline.
Among the numerous advanced engine systems are a pent-roof combustion chamber, which permits a symmetrical four-valve layout and central spark plug location, equal length crossflow exhaust and intake ports, variable intake control manifold and programmed fuel injection.
The Variable Intake Control System combines mechanical precision with electronic control. At low engine speeds, air passes through long (630mm) but relatively narrow (in cross section) rectangular ports. Their shape and dimensions create high intake air velocity and inertia, which increases volumetric efficiency and produces more torque for improved acceleration.
As engine speed increases, the engine's Electronic Control Unit (ECU) directs a solenoid actuator which opens six individual butterfly valves that allow air into short (420mm), oval, funnel-shaped ports - passing a greater volume of air into the combustion chambers. The transition from one set of ports to the other assures smooth power delivery throughout the full rpm range. Low to mid-range engine response is improved without sacrificing high end power. Torque is rated at 162 lbs-ft at 4500 rpm.
A sophisticated computer-controlled sequential fuel injection system helps develop the maximum engine power rating of 161 horsepower at 5900 rpm. An eight-bit microcomputer analyzes information from seven sensors (which monitor throttle angle, crankshaft angle, coolant temperature, manifold air pressure, atmospheric pressure and exhaust gas oxygen content) and uses the input to maintain the proportion of fuel and air within the ideal range. The ignition system is fully electronic.

Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are of increasing political interest as this approach helps preserve ecosystems and the goods and services they provide. Despite the valid global debate on pros and cons of this scheme, we believe that PES has compelling potential in helping to reduce negative impacts on the environment. For the proper synthesis of a functioning concept, certain prerequisites should be embodied such as legislation and institutional framework, property rights, contract designs etc.
Even though this concept has been in practice since the 80s, it is still a relatively new instrument for many parts of the world. It is believed that the main barriers beneficial participation from ecosystem markets is the general lack of awareness about what ecosystem services and how payment and compensation schemes work. There is also insufficient local capacity of communities and other rural landowners to identify, approach and close deals with buyers of ecosystem services.

Deps Buzzjet
In our search for the best bass fishing tackle in the world we see and reject lots of new lures because the baits are just not effective or the quality is not what we'd buy and use ourselves. The high quality of these Deps lures first attracted our attention and we were even more impressed with how well they caught fish.
The Deps Buzzjet is a whole new concept in topwater lures, combining features from some of the hottest lures on the market today. Buzzjet offers a great walk-the-dog action with plenty of noise from the loud multiple rattle and plenty of splash from the bait itself and from the tail prop. Need a shallow running crankbait? Buzzjet will bulge and wake with the best of them. Rip it and the prop will drag a trail of bubbles underwater and the sliding weight system will shift and the bait will dart for the surface head first, just like a fleeing baitfish. Deadstick the Buzzjet with occasional twitches and darts to tantalize wary fish until they can't stand it anymore and HAVE to smash the bait. How ever you choose to use the Buzzjet you will have one of the most versatile hardbaits on the market today.

Comments: Unreal action! Keep the rod tip high and do a short retrieve and let it sit, or reel slow on a steady retrieve. Blew up a 7 lb pre spawn hen on the delta yesterday. absolutely DESTROYED this lure
From: Chris: Union
Comments: Black is killer at night if a little or more wind - SLOW retrieve - catches fish all sizes - replace hooks if you can, they are so/so but the action flat out kills on the regular.
From: Ken: USA 6/27/15
Comments: Awesome bait!!! I have been fishing the buzzjet all spring and it got me some nice bass and pikes. I specially like the jetblack color for dusk and night fishing. If you wonder if the 4" is too big, well don't worry, I have caught bass less then a pound with it.
From: Marc: Montreal, Quebec Canada 5/18/15
Comments: Sounds like an old junk truck rolling down a dirt road. Big fish small fish buzz jets catch all fish. This model is a good alternative when wind waves mute the action of the regular bj. The hitch really is a good imitator of baby carp so it fishes fine in rivers. Wish tw would get some other colors of bone particularly black widow for night fishing
From: Fatswarcat: Irony, PA
Comments: This bait scared me because of the price but i got one( Jet Black) and i used it. I had to get used to the weight and how to really catch the fish but once you get the hang, THIS IS THE BEST BAIT I HAVE EVER USED...hands down
From: Michael: Greensboro, Nc
Comments: Hands down the best prop bait I've thrown there's no lack of detail on the bait!
From: Ryan: Temecula ca
Comments: This bait is awesome. Fish try to kill it. Use the 4 inch size. Good results using 25 pd mono but braid would be a good alternative since I lost one to break-off. Advice to cut off the split ring and replace with snap is accurate and way to go.
From: Biff: Paradox, NY, USA
Comments: Lure lives up to the hype, catches them all, big and small. Fish attack it with a vengence. Recommend the blue gill color first, then real largemouth. Heavy lure, found a med heavy spinning rod with 25 pound mono worked well. The advice about replacing split ring with snap is accurate, but you need to use a larger snap to allow it to do its thing. $26 lure, expensive, catching fish that won't hit anything else, priceless.
From: Biff: Paradox, USA
Comments: listen to me fishermen this is the best top water lure in many years the action the whole package nothing can top this bait. dont even bother looking at any other topwater if you look at all the reviews of all!!!!!! the deps lures no doubt they are the very best in the industy most incredible movement of any lure on the water save your pennys and buy one!!!!!! and then you can throw all your other topwaters away.
From: Jim: Lake Tomahawk
Comments: LOVE this lure! The action of this lure is like no other I've used before. 1st time on the water with it, caught multiple 1's & 2's!
From: Mike: San Jose, CA
Comments: Comments:Just got mine in the mail Sat after eyeing this lure for more than a year. The higher price tag had me in limbo. But, took it out last night, and had three fish in 10 minutes. Great bait!!! Worth every penny. Im a "silent" lure guy. And this thing is the exact opposite. But, im sold. Its now my fav lure to throw. So fun.
From: Chris: L.A., CA
Comments: just like everybody else has said, this is by far my most favorite lure in my arsenal... i dont like the price tag at all but it is so worth it, i have bought 3 more since. dont wait for these to go out of stock like usual and get one now.
From: James: Ft Polk, LA
Comments: This is one of THE BEST topwater lures out there!! This bait just replaced my jitterbugs, just had to write about this awsome lure again, do yourself a favor and GET SOME!!!
From: Mrbond007: East Lansing, MI
Comments: easily one of the top producers in my tackle arrsenal,it does so much for 1 lure.but the most important thing it does......it flat out catches fish ALOT!!!.sure its kinda on the high priced side,but for the sheer joy or landing those once and a lifeime lnkers,its worh it!!!i like the jetblack and the real bluegill best.buy one,you wont regret it.night time topwater,early morning shallow crankin or waken it in the summertime.the buzzjet does alot and produces well.
From: Steve: Homer Glen, IL
Comments: Cool bait, any bass guy worth his salt owes it to themselves to get this bait, a little heavy, but man, does it catch bass (and pike!) get the jet black color for night bassin, a must have lure!!
From: Mrbond: East Lansing, MI
Comments: This is my number 1 topwater lure. You can keep it a couple inches below the surface or right on top by lifting or lowering your rod tip. It makes enough commotion on top to bring fish up from the deep. I have one issue with this lure, the paint job has been nearly completely chipped off. I have the real largemouth pattern and it does great catching fish everywhere, but after about 15 fish there was a significant amount of the pattern chipped off. My friend purchased the real bluegill color and that has held up great. And if you're thinking of getting the jr. don't, the 4 inch is the way to go if you want to catch large fish. And little guys aren't afraid of it either, I've caught smallmouth under 2 lbs on the 4 inch.
From: Massachusetts, USA
Comments: Another DEPS home run, this bait can be fished a variety of ways but a slow steady retrieve will elicit some vicious strikes. Don't be afraid of the big one unless your pond fishing.
From: Lee: Jackson, TN
Comments: Good bait. Fished with a steady retrieve, or jerked, it makes a racket that draws the fish up. It's a big bait, and heavy, too. But it is exceptionally well made and the paint has held up well on mine. Great hooks. Premium price but worth it.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA
Comments:Totally awesome bait! I purchased a couple of these lures because I thought well I didn't see very many reviews good or bad about the lures. I bought the blugill and the largemouth bass colors and gave them their first test Saturday on Pickwick.
From:William: Hohenwald,TN
Comments:Pike really like this bait. Ghost Bass color was the ticket for me at Lake Mary in Northern Arizona.
From:William: Flagstaff, AZ

The 2007-08 high school basketball season came to a screeching halt last Saturday night for the Emery High Spartans with a first-round play-off loss at Cedar High School. Final score was 59-35.
Emery was in trouble from the beginning as nothing that they shot would go in the basket and score the team some points. Only a lay-up by Tyler Killpack went in during the first quarter of action to immediately dig a hole for the Spartans that they would never get themselves out of.
Emery trailed at the end of the first period 12-2 and at the half 20-10. Decent defense by the Spartans prevented the margin between the two teams from widening as Emery hoped they would find their shooting touch.
Although the Spartans would score a little better in the second half, the deficit would never be cut because Cedar also scored better in the second half. Cedar consistantly hit mid-range jump shots as the Cedar players would find a seam in the defense and hit the shot. Emery was outscored 20-13 in the third quarter and 19-12 in the fourth quarter.
Leading the way for the Spartans was Nevin Jensen with 7 points. Second leading scorer in the game and the leading rebounder on the night and probably the leading hustler during the game was Tyler Killpack with 6 points.
Also scoring was Karson Jensen with 5 points, Dempsey Jeffs and Cameron Hansen with 4 points each and Jordan Gee and Gatlan Huntington with 3 points each. Brett Mecham, Colton Barnett and Tanner Procarione would each score a single point.
In other games involving region 8 teams, Delta won a squeaker at home over Region-11 fifth place team Grantsville, North Sanpete lost at home to Region-10 fifth place team Uintah and Juan Diego lost on the road at Region-9 second place team Canyon View.

What to look for when buying an office chair:
Office chairs seem simple enough
They have a seat, back, and rolling bases instead of legs. Just pick the one that's prettiest and get to sitting, right? The answer, according to modern ergonomics studies, is no. An office chair should be more than just a location for you to place your bum for extended periods of time. Your office chair should function as an extension of your body; it should support you where you need it, and it should get out of the way when you need it to. Sound a bit more complicated than you thought? Don't worry, we're here to make sure we outfit you with the perfect chair.
Your journey for the perfect office chair begins with some introspection. After all, you will be spending a large chunk of your time in it every day, and it's always best to know yourself before to get to know something else. Here's where we recommend starting:
What kind of sitter are you?
Are you like me and you squirm in your chair? Do you have restless leg syndrome and can't stop tapping your foot on the ground? Do you recline in your chair all day, relaxed and cool as a cucumber? Do you pour over your keyboard and hover over it? Different office chairs are designed to accommodate different sitting styles, so identifying your sitting tendencies will put you on the fast track to office chair nirvana.
What size chair do you need?
People come in different sizes, and so do office chairs. My nimble frame might be able to fit perfectly in a certain chair, while an NFL defensive lineman would scoff at the idea of even trying to squeeze his monster frame in it. Items like the Aeron Chair come in three different sizes to give you a custom-fit feel.
What kind of look do you want?
Alright, the introduction might have been a bit misleading. While getting an attractive looking chair might not need to be #1 on your list of requirements for finding your perfect office chair, personal taste and aesthetics will factor into your final decision. Do you want to get a chair that's an icon of high design like the Eames Management Chair? Are you more interested something bright and colorful like the Leap Chair? Whichever direction your personal tastes lead, make sure to get a chair that fits you and looks snazzy.
Make it your own.
When it comes down to it, your perfect office chair should be a reflection of you. It needs to be functionally copacetic, size appropriate and aesthetically pleasing for you and your space. Using the three guidelines above will help point you in the right direction, and our super-helpful sales team will be able to match you up with the office chair that will make all of your sitting dreams come true.

Skid-steers, also commonly known as skid loaders, are great for tasks involving moving, digging, and lifting soil or other material. These machines come with a specialized turning mechanism which facilitates them to navigate in even the most confined spaces, often, to everyone's astonishment, the capability to make a turn of zero-radius.
available horsepowers
A Skid-steer (also known as skid loader) is a four wheeled machine used extensively to dig, move and lift materials such as earth, gravel and sand. The four wheels of the Skid-steer are mechanically synchronized, permitting the wheels on each side to rotate independently. Applying different speeds to the wheels enables the machine to turn tight corners (zero-radius turns) by skidding, and hence the name Skid-steers.
available horsepowers
Renting the right skidsteer loader is a matter dependent upon just how congested a jobsite is. The tighter the workspace, the more appropriate a small skidsteer. Terrain is also a factor. For wet, muddy or snowy jobsites, a skidsteer with tracks gives the operator better traction. If the skidsteer is going to be used three-axel dump trucks -- a standard sized truck, -- a bigger skidsteer is a better choice because the arms have more reach and the bucket is larger which means a large skidsteer can load a truck faster than a small one.
Skidsteers are only between five and seven feet wide which means they can inch between tight spaces with relative ease. Front-end loaders and backhoes, while very useful in their own rights, can not compete with a skidsteer on a congested jobsite. The pivoting action of skidsteers allow the machines to turn 360 degrees on a zero-degree radius.

Comments: A great bait. Bass will not let go. I wish SK would make "Junebug" in the fat baby & the 6.5" worm
From: Tom: Wilkesboro, NC 5/10/16
Comments: The 6.5" is my go to bait anytime the fishing is rough. It's most lethal configuration is Texas rig with 1/8 oz tungsten. Also like to rig them wacky.
From: Chris: IA 3/21/16
Comments: I've used these for the past year & yes while they do rip fairly easily, these are best soft plastic worms I've used next to Zoom Trick worms, I love the coffee scent that comes with'em too! I've caught more fish on these than any other soft plastic l have used. Dirt & Blue Fleck are my favorite colors.
From: Elliott: Yarmouth, ME 5/10/15
Comments: I feel as though there is a problem with the honesty of some of these reviews. When I rig these worms on a shaky head, they lie fairly flat on the bottom. The only way to elevate the tail is to use a stand-up shaky jig head (and I certainly prefer not to do that). On a drop shot, these worms aren't bad. I like the design and size. If you are looking for a good shaky head worm, however, look toward Netbait. Their T-Mac worms are excellent and do stand up effortlessly.

Comments: got some of these in a mystery tackle box and boy are they awesome. I was near lake Champlain for work and went to a little pond near there had to have seen ten people fishing that day. Had people on the bank ten feet away on both sides. They just watched me pull out fish after fish while they scratched their head. Gave a kid on the bank some of them and he started nailing them. Only have used them on a shakey head but thats all i need.
From: Jordan: Carlisle, PA 6/5/14
Comments: They may be soft but that just means you get more action out of them. I've caught 8 pounders using this bait on a shaky head. Definitely my favorite finesse worm.
From: Unknown: Fort Worth, Tx 4/20/14
Comments: Went out on a heavily pressured lake and threw the red bug on a drop shot and landed over 20 fish, two of which were pushing 4 pounds. Each worm lasted for about 4 or 5 fish. If the nose ripped through I just bit it off and re-hooked it and good as new.
From: Steven: 703
Comments: I know most of the perfect plastic baits have bad durability but this worm actually catches 4-6 fish per worm and there not overly expensive and mostt importantly CATCH FISH
From: Paul: MN
Comments: Best drop shot bait on the market!
From: MI
Comments: This is the worst Finesse worm i've ever used. I will be sticking back to Zoom!
From: Cali: GA
Comments: This is the worst finess worm I have ever used in my life. The first few times you throw it it will stay on your hook ,but after that it will fall off. It is the softest plastic on the market that is still in production and thats the problem its to soft and won't stay on your hook. This bait and this entire line of baits are terrible but if you want to go through a few packs of these in a few hours and you like to waste money than this is the worm for you.
From: Patrick: Greensboro, NC
Comments: this+ shakey head = big bass or drop shot it...this catches monster bass and has great colors the dirt color is amazing...chech out my youtube channel boysgonefishing for drop shot tips with this worm
From: Tyler: US
Comments: Great Worm. They catch fish when nothing else will. Great for Shaky Head rigging.
From: John: Camden, TN
Comments: What a surprise: KVD's baits work. Throw the green pumpkin or the doubleheader on a dropshot and catch the biggest pre-spawn tubs on the lake. In CT right now this is my hottest bait. It floats pretty well which I find important.
From: Matt: North Haven, CT
Comments: my favorite finesse worm!!! neon green pumpkin is one of my favorite colors works great.....my favorite worm in the spring!!! A MUST HAVE in your tackle box =]
Comments: Great smell, durable, perfect shape and size
From: Stone: Indiana, USA
Comments: these worms are great use one worm all day. extremely durable. will catch fish when fish aint bitting.

The 'Deuce Bigalow' actor sent funny tweets from the hospital.
Comedian/actor Rob Schneider, 49, is a dad again.
The Deuce Bigalow actor and his wife, television producer Patricia Azarcoya Schneider, welcomed a baby girl just before 9 p.m. on Nov. 16, reports People.
Her name: Miranda Scarlett Schneider.
She weighed in at 5 pounds, 13 ounces, and is 18 inches long.
Schneider's Twitter followers knew the baby was on the way on Friday when he shared: "Baby is COMING NOW! 19th hour of labor! Wife is doing great! WOW!!!"
He then cracked: "Thank 2 all of you for your good thoughts and well wishes! But I wish this hospital had a bar in it! Where's the medical marijuana for dad?"
He then got more serious, writing on Sunday, "Mommy and Baby happy and healthy! Gracias por sus buenos deseos!"
Miranda is the first child together for the couple, who wed in April 2011. Schneider is also father to daughter Elle, 23, from his marriage to London King.

I have read the first 2 chapters and must say that it is pretty good (it's probably the best one from the new series so far). You can notice that the author is thoroughly building and explaining the story, rather than throwing the reader unto a battle right at the start. I must admit it's a nice change of pace. I guess the author's name is enough to allow for such a thing, or perhaps she is sure that this way the story will be told better. Anyway, it was a good read, waiting for more .
BTW. I didn't like Kekkaishi .
This is really good, the mystery is amazing, the White Demon is one of the most creative monsters I've seen, and the amount of detail can only mean that this manga will turn out great ^_^. I can't wait for more.

Here we are again, hoping that this will last.
And yes, where did you read the second chapter?

Skip to comments.Appeals court declines to take up voter ID case (WI)
Posted on 04/25/2012 2:19:23 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic
Madison -- The Court of Appeals declined to take up a Dane County case Wednesday that blocked the state's new law requiring people to show photo ID at the polls.
The latest order is a further setback for those who support the voter ID law, and is another sign the law almost surely will remain halted for the May 8 primaries and June 5 recall elections.
Dane County Circuit Judge David Flanagan temporarily enjoined the voter ID law last month, saying the Milwaukee branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and immigrant rights group Voces de la Frontera were likely to succeed in their argument the law is unconstitutional.
A week later, Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess permanently enjoined the law in a case brought by the League of Women Voters of Wisconsin.
The state Department of Justice appealed both decisions, to two separate courts of appeals. Both appeals courts said the cases should go directly to the state Supreme Court because of their statewide importance, and the appeals courts did not render opinions on them.
But the Supreme Court this month said it would not take either case, sending them back to the appeals courts.
By then, the trial in the NAACP case was under way. The Waukesha-based District 2 Court of Appeals ruled Wednesday that it would not take up the case because of its procedural posture.
Flanagan is expected to rule on the case sometime after mid-June. Either side can appeal the case, and at that stage the court of appeals will have to take the case because there will be a final ruling.

Wisconcin Breaking News: No voter ID for recall ping
FReep Mail me if you want on, or off, this Wisconsin interest ping list.
Wisconcin = Wisconsin
What A Crock! WI sure has a bunch of liberal boneheads.
Seriously? The Supreme Court bumped it back to the appeals court now they're refusing to take it. What next? Someone has to hear it.
FAST TRACK TO SCOTUS. There is a compelling need that justice be served prior to the recall.
Maybe this is a good thing then. I would like to see the voter ID law reinstated before June 5.
This is utter Fascism...unmasked, open, brazen. What recourse is there? Doesn't the SCOTUS have any role here? The Indiana precedent clearly makes all such laws kosher.
It's Madison - what did you expect?
Hard to get voters to understand that the communists are in control and will use our very owns laws against our Constitutional rights.
I have a question. If I go in to vote and someone else has already taken my ballot, what then? Obviously, my ID has no bearing since whoever stole my vote didn't need one. Maybe, I should just vote here, go to West Bend, vote there, go to Hartford, Johnson Creek etc.
If I want to go on an airplane, I have to have a valid ID; if I want to drive a car, same, if I want to write a check, same thing. I am so flippin' confused! Do people have to have an ID to get state aid? Register for college? Is it because some of those are not rights? OK, then, how about getting married? Since so many consider it a right to be married ie; gays.
I guess I just cannot see the logic in not requiring an ID.
As for the rest of your question: of course you need an id for most of those things, but you already knew that!
Good thing conservatives are honest, moral people.
Otherwise many from out of state could go in and request ballots...voter registration rolls are public domain.
Only the left does this kind of reprehensible act. They never have to worry about us doing these kinds of things.
Your mistake is looking for logic. This facilitates Democratic voter fraud, plain and simple. If you failed to believe it, this should help you come to grips with the reality of the situation. I suspect you know it deep down, it's just hard to imagine public officials being so blatantly transparent in their attempts to defraud the sanctity of our electoral process
Well, that certainly pushes it out well past the date they need the illegal votes to oust the Governor. Good work!
"I have a question. If I go in to vote and someone else has already taken my ballot, what then? Obviously, my ID has no bearing since whoever stole my vote didnt need one. Maybe, I should just vote here, go to West Bend, vote there, go to Hartford, Johnson Creek etc."
They know who the dead or moved registered voters are. So they don't give ballots unless you are certain not to show up. Also, they wait 'til the end of the day.
partially true, because you CAN make your vote count even if it is to offset the stolen one. Demand a provisional ballot, file a protest, find the media pronto, and make a great big fuss.
This is very disappointing that the Wisc Supreme Court did not have the balls to review this case, especially with a 4-3 supposed conservative majority on the court. Sending it back to the same Appeals courts that rejected it in the first place is both cowardly & ridiculous. What a bunch of chickensh_ts the Wisc Supreme Court turned out to be be. There is no way that SCOTUS will review this prior to the May recall primaries or June recall election. There will likely be 100,000 or more, out-of-state union "voters" pouring in from IL, IA & MN to vote in the WI recall election. Personally I believe that the WI Repubs & Gov Scott Walker should just declare the judges rulings to be null & void and to proceed with the photo ID requirement. It's what a dimturd would do!
I do not believe that the lawsuit challenges the requirement to sign the voter roll before given a ballot.
So there may be some evidence to pursue including fingerprints on ballot if the DA is so inclined.
Yep! The fix is in. I fear that with everything else going on that if the dems steal this that the SWHTF. Otherwise BOHICA. (Bend over, here it comes again.)
>This facilitates Democratic voter fraud, plain and simple.
I would say it facilitates democrat voter fraud. There is nothing Democratic about the democrat party.
I refuse to honor the democrat party's desire to have the word "democratic" associated with their marxist and criminal gang.
You watch too much CSI. Everybody on God's green earth touches that ballot, starting with Juan, the illegal alien working for the print shop. (I watch too much as well)
Apparently its dead, or something
I would have expected better from a mermaid..
I would think that those who are seeking state and/or federal benefit payments of any kind would have to have some kind of photo ID. After Ike destroyed some of my property I applied to FEMA and SBA for a low interest loan to repair my business property. The forms could be sent by mail to an office in Florida which was handling Texas claims but I had to send a copy of my driver's license, picture ID and a copy of the letter from IRS which contained my business tax ID number. It just seems strange that all government agencies require that you prove who you are for everything but voting. Makes absolutely no sense.
RECALL THE JUDGES- this is the only remedy!
Well then I guess my vote will not count because their will be others voting illegally to nullify it. Is this a great country or what. Turning into a police state banana republic!!!
Perfectly logical if your intent is to commit voter fraud.
Yes, it was rhetorical. But, it seems like it could happen.
It could. In fact, I've seen it happen. I don't think it was intentional, but I was at the sign in table when one of the ladies who was minding the book checked off the wrong name. That is the reason that (in Mequon, at least) we have 2 clerks on the books at all times. In any case, somebody checked off the wrong name. When the person came into vote, one of our books said that that person had already voted.
After a little kerfluffle, we back tracked and found the mistake. If we hadn't been running 2 books, that voter would have been out of luck.
Now that the voter has to sign one of the books, I don't think that it would be as easy to make such a mistake — UNLESS it is intentional. The voter would not sign over the wrong name, unless he/she means to.
John should have stayed with the blonde mermaid
You cannot enter a Federal Courthouse without showing picture ID.
How is it that the Courts can "discriminate against minorities" in allowing access to courthouses and Federal buildings by requiring photo ID, but the states cannot require it for entrance into a voting booth?
How is this a good thing? A Dane County peon district Judge Flanagan temporarily ruled against voter ID, then a 2nd peon Dane County district Judge Richard Neiss ruled a permanent injunction against voter ID, then 2 Appeals Courts refused to rule on it, then a chickenshit WI Supreme Court refused to hear the case and kicked it back to the two Appeals Courts who refused to hear it earlier, and now say the EARLIEST they could hear the case is in mid-June, well past the June 5 recall election.
So how would voter ID be reinstated before June 5, given these circumstances and court rulings? There is absolutely no way the WI Senate or Assembly will pass a 2nd version of voter ID if this is running into all these court rulings against it. Personally I wish the Gov Scott Walker would issue a governor's executive order, declaring these rogue judicial rulings to be null & void and mandating that all election precincts must enfore voter ID or their precincts will not be counted. At some time, we have got to stand up against these bastard rogue judges who continually rule against the rule of legislative law, and instead make themselves to be the official purveyor of law according to them. We need an American Revolution II now more than ever.

It looks like these lowlife freakin' "judges" approve of voter fraud. That's a bunch of commies for you. You can't trust those bass turds.
I can empathize with your situation.
As a retired law enforcement officer, although that has no bearing in my case since I only seek to be treated like any American citizen who is afforded Second Amendment Constitutional rights, I found my recent purchase of a firearm very interesting, especially in view of the passage of the voter ID law in Wisconsin, only to be vacated by a variety of activist judges.
In short, I haven't purchased a firearm for probably 20 years. When I made the purchase at a local franchised store, I was first asked to show them my photo driver's license. I was then required to complete 3 forms of information. Apparently, one look at my photo driver's license didn't do the job because I was asked to produce my license a second time so a background check could be run, at my expense of course.
The sales clerk then advised me that I could pick up my firearm after 48 hours transpired. I questioned her about the waiting period because the last time I bought a firearm, the waiting period was 3 days. He advised the change was made more than a year ago.
Skip to 3 days after my purchase (I was unable to pick up my firearm after 48 hours because I was out of town) and I approached the same sales clerk who remembered me, but asked to see my photo driver's license a third time, finalized a document she began when I initially came in to purchase the firearm and then carried the firearm up to the checkout lane where I paid for it.
I know she was following store protocol, but I was tempted to comment that the store policy makes it impossible for a citizen who doesn't have a photo ID to purchase a firearm, even though none is required for voting purposes.
I am ashamed to admit I was born and raised in Madison, but during my youth and young adulthood, Madison actually had judges who made judgements according to the law rather than basing their decisions on a skewed political agenda.
Sounds like a bunch of liberals moved to WI temporally.
As effed up as the system is, YOU'LL probably be the one charged with vote fraud.
No doubt,but Maryland has them beat!
That would not insure that your vote would be counted. They way it works is that the early/absentee votes are delivered to the polls sometime in the middle of the day. They are opened and checked off against the poll lists as the clerks have time during voting hours. Then they are placed into the the ballot boxes where they are counted electronically with the rest of the ballots.
If someone comes in during the voting hours, pretends to be you, and claims your ballot before your absentee ballot is counted, you are out of luck. Your absentee ballot would be rejected because the clerks would think that you decided to come to the polls and vote in person after all.
We need photo voter id.
I've lived here 27 years. During that time, photo voter id has been passed by both the public (advisory referendum) and by the legislature. Then it was vetoed by a Dem Governor. Now it's being vetoed by rogue judges. In the mean time voter fraud continues. A report, accidentally released to the public when Milwaukee was in transition between police chiefs, proved that there was rampant voter fraud in just Milwaukee in the 2004 presidential election. The new police chief disbanded the Milwaukee fraud unit just before the 2008 election. The Milwaukee report doesn't even touch on what goes on in Dane County. The head of that task force was "induced" to retire by being given less than desireable assignments. That 67 page report has been scrubbed from the Web.
Nobody checks on the students who think that they are allowed to vote both at college and at home. Nobody checks on people from out of state who own summer cottages here who vote in Wisconsin. I remember that in 2004 there were ads running in Madison asking for students who were interested in traveling to MN to vote again because MN also has same day registration. Also in 2004 the streets all the way north to Pt. Washington were suddenly choked with IL cars on election day. Hmmmm. I wonder why?
How many times in his entire life has this 'JUDGE" had to present his own ID? Thousands, I'll bet.
This is so bogus, I don't even have words for this jerk of a jurist.
I just got my new voter registration card in the mail today. They send me a new one every two years. If they send one out and the person is no longer at the address, the post office is supposed to return it as undeliverable and the voter is purged from the rolls until such time as they re-register from a new address.
Forgive me if I have already told you of this incident, but when my son attended the UW Madison, one of his roommates from out of state wanted to vote in the presidential election. He was told that since he didn't have an ID that indicated his Madison residence, he could bring one of his roommates and a rent receipt to the polling site and vote.
Another roommate who had already voted went with this young man and candidly mentioned to the poll worker that he could probably vote again and no one would know the difference. The poll worker didn't express any emotion when he said that he was probably correct.
I think a huge amount of fraud is taking place as a result of the relaxation of standards for absentee voting. When I was in the military and stationed 10,000 miles from Madison, I had a very difficult time obtaining an absentee ballot. Today, you don't even need a valid reason for requesting one.

Human beings are inclined to judge others on less knowledge than they have of themselves and still claim that they do not know themselves all that well.
Yet we must work with others with minimal knowledge of them hoping that is sufficient.
An answer to my claim to know very little about a specific person was that there was very little necessary to know other that he was former CEO of a quite small firm.
I know others who are CEOs of quite small firms, but truly they are all quite different people and with more to know about them.
We pretty much operate on the edge of knowledge apparently sufficient for daily living.
A few items of knowledge about a cell phone are sufficient to use it for communication.
As I look out over this huge lake, it appears fairly flat and the horizon appears higher than the point at which I sit, yet I accept this subconsciously as a reality of the shortcomings of my sensing nature.
I know that in physical reality that the horizon is not higher than the beach and the lake's surface follows the curvature of the earth and that railroad lines do not converge in the distance.
It would appear that politicians operate with similar bits of knowledge, yet claim to be all knowing on many subjects and often quoted on their knowledgeable fragments of what they claim to be the truth.
We are inclined to join and follow the views of some politicians and their parties based on only bits of knowledge.
As far as truth goes, we might also ask "are we there yet?"

Ticket info on international matches and tournaments this summer in Canada
OTTAWA – It is a busy summer for Canada's national teams both on the court and the beach as action heats up in preparation for Olympic qualifying tournaments later this year. Canadian fans will have some great opportunities to see the best players in the world and cheer on their Canadian athletes.
The men's national team opens its 2011 season at the 10-country Pan Am Cup set for the Centre Robert-Guertin in Gatineau, Que., June 13-18. The big prize on the line is a berth in the prestigious FIVB World League for next summer.
The women's national team hosts two series: from June 23-28, the Canadians face Argentina in a four-match series with three matches in Winnipeg and one in Brandon. The matches serve as a Pan Am Cup preview where both Canada (ranked 20th in the world) and Argentina (ranked 25th) will compete.
Then from August 16-21, the women's national team challenges number-12 the Netherlands in a four-match series in three Ontario cities (Oshawa, Hamilton and Waterloo). Both teams will field their A-squads and these matches will be instrumental in their preparations and lead up to their respective zone championships taking place in September.
"This is a huge year for Team Canada and to take the next step we need to play as many games against good teams as possible," said Canada's offensive star Sarah Pavan of Kitchener. "The Netherlands will bring the competitive environment that we need to experience. This is a great opportunity for Ontario's volleyball community to see the game played at its highest level and I am excited to wear our country's uniform in my home province for the first time."
In beach volleyball, Quebec City will host the Quebec Open JEEP, a stop on the FIVB World Tour circuit July 19-24. Rankings from performances on the circuit will count towards the Olympic qualifying process and Canada has strong contenders in both men's and women's competition.
June 13-18: men's volleyball, Pan Am Cup, Gatineau, Que.

Cool Shoes!
"I had been looking for just the right brown/copper sandal for 2 summer outfits and finally found these shoes on DSW online. They are very funky and classy at the same time."

Bronze/Brown color
"Perfect fit for me. Although I wear a 9 in most shoes, many time i find the strap to the front are a bit to tight and cause me pain....not this shoe though. I purchased the regular width, and the toe box was roomy enough to not squeeze me, hence i indicated that it runs slightly wide...which suits me great. The shoe length ordered is my regular size and fits perfect. The heel is short and comfortable, especially for me as I have a back injury. The shoe is very stylish, which is uncommon for a short heel. Love it. Would love to buy more colors in this."

In my cookbook, Choclatique-150 Simply Elegant Desserts, I talked a little about my experiences at the old Adhor Dairies in Los Angeles, where they used to give us free chocolate milk in the reception area. On Fridays they would give us gallons to take home. I wasn't a big chocolate milk drinker, but I did 'invent' a lot of kid recipes to use up the chocolate milk.
Since my partner Joan is a Wisconsin girl and her mom used to make a killer Milwaukee Milk Cake I came up with this simple quick chocolate milk cake recipe. It's not too sweet and it has a great crisp outer texture, more than your usual cake, but it is still moist, rich and buttery on the inside. I always top it off with my chocolate milk glaze.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cool Time: 30 minutes
Bake Time: 40 to 45 minutes
Yield: Serves 8 to 10
For the Cake:
2 3/4 cups all purpose flour
1/4 cup Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
3 large eggs
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup chocolate milk
2 sticks unsalted butter (softened)
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
8 ounces Choclatique Milk Chocolate Chips
For the Glaze:
2 to 3 tablespoons chocolate milk
1/4 teaspoon fresh orange zest
1 tablespoon Choclatique Rouge Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
1 cup confectioner's sugar
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- In a mixing bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light yellow. Add the vanilla extract, milk and eggs and combine well.
- Add the flour, cocoa powder and baking powder in 3 steps and mix until smooth.
- Fold in the chocolate chips.
- Bake in a greased Bundt pan for about 40 to 45 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the cake comes away clean.
- Invert and cool in the pan on a wire rack for about 30 minutes before glazing. The cake should release cleanly from the pan as it cools.
- Mix confectioner's sugar, orange zest and cocoa powder with the milk (use 1 tablespoon of milk first, add second or third if necessary) and drizzle over the cake with the tines of a fork when it has cooled.

High Potency B-Complex Easy-To-Swallow Capsules Dietary Supplement VitaminsVitamins differ from macronutrients like carbohydrates, proteins and fats by virtue of the amount required. Typically, minuscule amounts are needed in comparison. Plus, vitamins are not used as an energy source. Instead, they are critical for the normal functioning, growth, repair and maintenance of cells and tissues and are required in individual units rather than long chains of smaller units. However, like carbohydrates, proteins and fats, vitamins are organic compounds, meaning that they are carbon-containing and are essential to one's overall well-being. In fact, a deficiency of just one vitamin can have a profound effect on the body and health. B Vitamins The scientists who first discovered vitamin B believed that it was a single compound; however, with the advances in technology, it was soon discovered that it was a family of eight water-soluble compounds. Today, with the exception of B6 and B12, B vitamins are referred to by their names: thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), biotin and folate. Exceptional dietary sources of B vitamins include fortified cereals, ham, tuna, wheat germ, liver, milk, spinach, lentils and a wide variety of other foods. B vitamins in the body function mainly as coenzymes or parts of coenzymes. Coenzymes are considered to be the keys that unlock the mechanism of action of enzymes that speed up reactions in the body. B vitamins are utilized in a wide variety of functions in the body, such as the metabolism of protein, carbohydrate and fat and the synthesis of neurotransmitters, betaine, RNA/DNA, red blood cells, amino acids involved in the reduction of homocysteine levels, and antioxidants such as glutathione. Some B vitamin derivatives, also known as quasi-vitamins, function similarly to vitamins, but their human requirements are not yet known, even though they are associated with important biological activities in the body. Inositol, choline and para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) are known to be part of the B-complex family, while taurine and carnitine, which are also derived from B vitamins, are usually listed in the amino acid family due to their shape. Although they are all known to play fundamental roles in the body, they have not yet been proven to be essential in the diet for humans since they can be synthesized in the body from B vitamins and other nutrients. Choline is a vitamin-like substance and considered a B vitamin derivative. Along with vitamins B6, folate and B12, choline helps metabolize homocysteine to L-methionine and L-cysteine in the body. Choline functions as a precursor for acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter, and it is also a component of phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine. Additionally, it is a major component of cell membrane and blood lipoproteins. Plus, choline is a precursor for the methyl donor betaine, which acts as a source of HCl in the gut for optimal heart and digestive health. Significant dietary sources of choline include egg yolk, soy, chicken, Atlantic cod, wheat germ and broccoli. Inositol is often associated with vitamin B complex but is actually considered a B vitamin derivative that serves as an important component of phospholipids. Inositol is converted to phosphatidylinositol, a phospholipid that is important for the maintenance of cellular membranes, metabolism and growth. Much of the inositol in body cells occurs in phosphorylated forms, such as inositol triphosphate (IP3), which is found in the cell cytosol. IP3, when incorporated into the phospholipids located at the cell membrane, has been shown to effectively stimulate calcium ions and provide potent cellular support and protection. Foods sources rich in inositol include lecithin, beef heart, beef liver, wheat germ, soybeans and egg yolk. Nutrition to the Fifth PowerBluebonnet Nutrition was founded in 1991 on the basic principle that they offer the cleanest, purest, most natural nutritional supplements offered exclusively through independent natural food retailers. Today, Bluebonnet Nutrition is proud to say that we still honor this commitment and that their devotion is true and loyal. The landscape of nutrition is changing rapidly. However, Bluebonnet Nutrition is not simply changing with it. Bluebonnet Nutrition leading the way. Since the launch of Bluebonnet Nutrition's company in the heart of Sugar Land, Texas, they have carefully sowed the seeds of success by our unwavering pledge to the five powers of Bluebonnet Nutrition: Nature, Science, Quality, Truth and Knowledge - one power for every petal of the Texas state flower from which they take their name. The Best the Earth Can OfferBluebonnet Nutrition's first commitment has always been to nature. Not only so they can identify nutrients that are good, pure and wholesome, but also so they can harness nature's power and benefit from its strength. Bluebonnet Nutrition searched the world for locations where climate, temperature and soil converge to grow the finest raw materials. Conducting frequent on-site inspections, Bluebonnet Nutrition's ingredient selections are never based on price, but instead on one simple criterion: Is it the best the Earth has to offer? To preserve nature's freshness, we purchase raw materials in small quantities. And when ingredients enter our warehouse, they are quarantined and sent to Bluebonnet Nutrition's on-site quality assurance laboratory to undergo raw material identification and microbial testing. If a nutrient does not meet Bluebonnet Nutrition's stringent quality standards, it cannot be used in Bluebonnet supplements. Everything Purple Starts Off Green Bluebonnet's dedication to nature does not end with ingredient selection. Bluebonnet Nutrition's is an enterprise-wide effort that encompasses environmentally sound manufacturing practices and operations and green initiatives that support the philosophy of a whole new generation of health-conscious, "green" consumers who believe in reducing our dependency on fossil fuel, sustainability and social responsibility, which involves giving back to our communities, country and world-at-large, Specifically, Bluebonnet Nutrition has implemented conservational practices from instituting a corporate-wide recycling program, to using recyclable paper and corrugated packaging and shippers whenever possible, as well as biodegradable packing materials that dissolve in landfills, to printing their marketing materials with soy-based inks. Plus, Bluebonnet supports efforts and teachings on ecological preservation, which is why Bluebonnet Nutrition contributes to two non-profit organizations, United Plant Savers and American Botanical Council, devoted to sustainability and education. In addition, not only does Bluebonnet Nutrition manufacture in their own environmentally-friendly, state-of-the-art facility, but they use alternative energy sources (e.g., wind and solar) whenever possible to help reduce their carbon footprint. And most importantly, in the spirit of giving back, Bluebonnet embraces its civic responsibilities by contributing to the Houst:" ": whose core mission is to improve the quality of life for people with health-related conditions through nutritional education and affordable nutritional supplements. Innovation is Only NaturalWith over 100 years of collective industry experience in nutritional science, Bluebonnet Nutrition's product development team is not only ensuring that Bluebonnet supplements are safe and efficacious, they're also committed to developing cleaner, more effective formulas. In fact, Bluebonnet has been the first to launch some of the industry's most innovative ingredients, such as ubiquinol, licorice flavonoid oil (Glavonoid™), grape seed extract, vegetarian SOD (GliSODin™) and nucleotides. And in a highly competitive, uninspired protein beverage market, they have included the latter two revolutionary ingredients in the most unique protein formulas to hit the market in years: Super Earth™ Phytonutrient Soy Protein Powder and Multi-Action Whey of Life™ Protein Powder. Setting New StandardsQuality may be the most overused word in the world today. Nonetheless, for nutritional supplements, what could be more important? That is why Bluebonnet Nutrition built their own 100,000 sq ft, state-of-the-art kosher manufacturing and distribution facility with earth-friendly, pharmaceutical-grade systems that are setting new standards for quality assurance. Plus, they have also invested in the arduous process of kosher certifying our products. Since keeping kosher has become synonymous with eating foods that have been manufactured at a higher standard, Bluebonnet products bearing the KOF-K emblem have been carefully supervised with each ingredient tracked to its origin and strict rules imposed on hygienic processes. In addition to applying kosher quality standards to their operation, Bluebonnet Nutrition manufacturing process meets the rigorous model established by the U.S. Pharmacopoeia - even though they don't have to. By the time a Bluebonnet supplement appears on a store shelf, it has been subjected to stringent examinations for potency, purity, uniformity, hardness, disintegration and dissolution. And not just by in-house quality control technicians, but by respected independent laboratories. That is quality that will last even after you have opened the bottle. Just the FactsThere are so few absolute truths in the world today - except when it comes to nutritional supplements. Nutrients are either in the supplement or they are not. Bluebonnet Nutrition makes sure they are. Not only does Bluebonnet Nutrition manufacture 90% of their products in-house, they employ a unique practice called "content uniformity" to ensure a consistent nutrient blend from batch to batch. It is part of Bluebonnet's commitment to the natural products industry, as well as their own principles. Before a Bluebonnet supplement arrives at a natural food store, it is analyzed and evaluated by lab technicians. Through HPLC assay tests, Bluebonnet documents with 100% accuracy that what is on the label is in the bottle. Bluebonnet Nutrition even performs accelerated stability tests to ensure that potency levels will be maintained through the expiration date. Bottomline, on Bluebonnet labels, what you read is always what you get. Meeting Nutritional NeedsBluebonnet offers a complete line of natural vitamins, minerals, multiples, amino acids, proteins, herbal extracts, and specialty supplements, such as antioxidants, CoQ10/ubiquinol, glucosamine, omega fatty acids, fiber/digestive aids, probiotics and food supplements. All made without unnecessary colors, flavors, fillers, binders or excipients. Choose a "delivery system" that suits your lifestyle: caplets, mini-caplets, softgels, chewables, liquids, powders or Kosher vegetarian capsules. Your loyalty and trust in our nutritional supplements is greatly appreciated by the Bluebonnet family.
