The lowest ranked side heading to the highest should mean one result – but there's more than a feeling this isn't a foregone conclusion.
The lowest ranked side travelling to the highest should mean one result – but there is more than a feeling this play-off isn't a foregone conclusion.
Why I hear you ask? Well, form for one thing.
3/1 underdogs seems quite high for a Cheetahs team coming off a win and bye week while their opponents enter following a defeat at the Force.
The Brumbies came off second best in almost all facets of play in Perth and, as a result, would have been put under the hammer at training this week. But as assistant coach Stephen Larkham said during the build-up, regular-season showings go out the window when it comes to the play-offs.
Head coach Jake White will hope to see a marked improvement or they will find themselves done for the campaign – it's as simple as that right now.
Subsequently he has called on the experience of George Smith – after he was semi rested last week – while Nic White's return at nine also helps them. White has been vital to their gameplan as his management and kicking option takes some of the pressure off both Matt Toomua and Christian Lealiifano. In truth, the scrum-half's return is critical and coach White's insistence on playing him "even if he is 90 percent fit" illustrates his importance to this team.
White's kicking will help their cause as consistently running at this Cheetahs defence doesn't seem to do much damage as Philip van der Walt, Lappies Labuschagne and Heinrich Brussow occupy three of the top six places in the leading tackler statistics in 2013. Robert Ebersohn is eleventh, although Raymond Rhule and the aforementioned centre are top of missed tackles – that may lead to Tevita Kuridrani and the back-three targeting them.
Elsewhere and the axing of Wallaby starter Joe Tomane in favour of veteran Clyde Rathbone says all you need to know about how the Brumbies fared in Perth. Heads have rolled.
The big question I suppose is whether that loss was a good or bad thing for the Brumbies as it could shore up their game going into the knockout stages. It is also possible the hangover of the Lions Tests had impacted on the likes of Lealiifano and Stephen Moore.
In contrast, the Cheetahs are fresh having shaken off any niggles during their week off, byes being a concept that haven't been kind to them in 2013. It's worth noting they played eleven straight rounds in the early season, which brings a further back pat to their achievements.
Such form has seen a changing of mindset as while Cheetahs victories have long been labelled 'upsets', that is now a tag they have shed themselves of. Should they make the semis, it would surely confirm their standing as one of Super Rugby's new heavyweights.
Factor in they've also been minus Johan Goosen. His absence has definitely slipped under the radar and it is interesting that this week's starting fly-half, Riaan Smit, was fourth pick in pre-season behind the Springbok, Burton Francis and Elgar Watts. He has done whatever has been asked of him by Naka Drotske and should handle the pressure just fine.
Smit will, however, need centre duo Ebersohn and Johann Sadie to be at the top of their games, which in truth they have been throughout 2013's campaign. Ebersohn, despite ongoing speculation regarding his playing future, is a quality number twelve while Sadie seems to be flourishing since settling down from a franchise-hopping early career.
Outside them comes wing Willie le Roux, whose high risk game creates a great deal more good than bad to this side. If the Bok shines, the Cheetahs' hopes improve dramatically and despite White's claim the visitors are conservative, a flowing game is what Drotske wants.
The Brumbies will in turn want to limit such fluidity in front of a sold-out home crowd as they return to knockout rugby for the first time in nine years. It should be a home victory and with it a trip to Loftus Versfeld to face the Bulls but with the Cheetahs 4 and 0 against Australian outfits this season, there is just that lingering doubt that the men from Bloemfontein have a chance – and as we have seen time and time again that is all this Cheetahs team needs.
Prediction: The Cheetahs are capable of winning this but I am expecting a Brumbies backlash and the hosts to face the Bulls in the semis. Jesse Mogg could well play a major role in how this one pans out while the back-row battle is also key. Brumbies by five!
The teams:

Mexico meets Italy in this super simple dish--just layer chicken, cheese, salsa, and tortillas. It's a fiesta!
This casserole also tastes great when prepared with 1 lb cooked ground beef instead of the chicken.
Cutting the 8 tortillas in half is a snap when you use a kitchen scissors.

Canadians Glenn Hoag and Dan Lewis chase Champion League volleyball title with Bled, Slovenia this weekend
OTTAWA- Canadian men's national team head coach Glenn Hoag of Gatineau, Que., (far right in picture) put his ACH Volley Bled (Slovenia) squad through its final drills on Friday for the men's volleyball Champions League Final Four tournament set for this Saturday and Sunday in Lodz, Poland.
The Champions League is a five month tournament that determines the top professional volleyball squad in Europe. More than 35 Canadians played men's pro volleyball overseas this past winter including 14 national team members.
Bled, which also includes Canadian national team player, Dan Lewis of Oakville, Ont., plays its semifinal match on Saturday against defending champions Trentino, Italy while the other semi pits Moscow Dynamo vs host Belchatow, Poland. The winners face-off for the gold on Sunday while the losers battle for bronze.
Hoag was named head coach of Canada's national team in 2006 and has coached Bled during the winter months since 2008. This is the first time in its history that Bled has gone to the Champions League Final Four.
"Trentino is probably the number-one team club in the world right now," Hoag told the Slovenian news agency Siol today . "The key for us is to stick to our game plan and be patient. Being here is something special and there is definitely pressure. But that can only be solved if we focus on our game."
The 33-year-old Lewis has been a powerful force for Bled playing the all important libero position. The libero is essentially the captain of team defence, and is responsible for organizing the other players on the court in serve-reception and during regular play.
Bled opened the Champions League tournament going 3-3 in round robin play to finish in second place in its pool. In the opening playoff round, Hoag's troops registered two dramatic five-set victories over Macerata, Italy.
The quarterfinal versus Innsbruck, Austria was even more exciting as it went down to golden set tie breaker after each team registered a 3-1 set victories. Bled won the extra set 15-10.
"I see the Final Four as a valuable learning opportunity for my young team," added Hoag at a news conference Friday. "We already caused some major upsets during the previous stages of the competition and we have come to Poland to try to perform again at our best".
Both Trentino and Moscow went 4-2 in the round robin and were undefeated in their respective four playoff matches. Belchatow went 5-1 in the round robin and was awarded a final four berth as hosts.
This weekend's matches can be viewed live on-line at http://www.laola1.tv/ Pictures can be downloaded at: http://www.eventolive.it/ciclmen2010/
On Saturday, the Belchatow- Moscow semifinal is at 9:30 a.m. (EDT) and the Bled-Trentino match follows at 12:30 p.m. On Sunday, the bronze medal match is at 5:30 a.m. and the championship match at 8:30 a.m.
The 13,000 seat Atlas Arena is sold out for all four matches.

The just-released How to Cook Everything iPad App is spectacular (and I can say that since I didn't develop it!). It's something neither I nor anyone else could have dreamed of when I was first working on the book in the mid-90s.
To celebrate the launch I'm officially kicking off "The 12 Days of How to Cook Everything," a countdown of the 12 most-voted-for HTCE recipes (based on an ongoing voting feature embedded in the App), one-a-day until new year's eve.
It's fascinating to me to see the recipes that people search for and come back to again and again: If you have any all-time favorites, post them in the comments section below, or just vote for them on the App.

Maple sugaring, as Burr Morse will tell you, doesn't require fancy stainless-steel boilers and gravity-fed tubing–simple firepits and recycled milk jugs work just fine, too. Morse should know: His family claims sugaring roots stretching back nearly two centuries, and today Morse sugars from the same trees his granddad once tapped. Come March, his farm, with its country store and farm-life museum, is a destination for maple-hungry travelers. We got the sweet skinny on making maple syrup inexpensively while he boiled sap from his sugarhouse.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
"That was a good effort out there tonight," said Coach Steven Gordon to his players just after they defeated the Wasatch Lady Wasps at the Spartan Center in the first round of the 2011 3-A state playoffs. Emery easily won this game 61-41. With the win, Emery advances to the state tournament site next week at the University of Utah.
Coach Gordon continued, "Way to come to play hard, we moved the ball well tonight, we helped each other, that was a great team effort.
Congratulations." Emery stifled the Wasatch offense all night long as the Emery players were everywhere and very seldom did the Wasps get a clear opportunity to get off a shot.
The only thing that kept this game from being a wider margin was actually the Spartans themselves. They appeared a little jittery to start the game and missed many a shot attempt that normally would have gone in. This is about the biggest negative that one could say about the game.
Offensively, Emery still shot the ball well despite the missed lay ups and three Spartan players finished in double figures. Taylor Mann led the team with 20 points followed by Brooke Jensen with 17 points and Jessica Murray with 16 points. All three played less than three quarters of the game.
Wasatch tried to deny Emery the inside game, very ineffectively, as the Emery post players still led the team in scoring. As they doubled or tripled down, the ball was kicked out and Jessica did a good job of hitting the outside shot. Murray had four 3-pointers in the game.
At halftime, with the Spartans leading 33-19, Gordon told his players, "That was good hard nose defense out there, defense is where we will win this game. We can't leave any shot uncontested, so get there."
Emery went on an 11-4 run to start the third quarter, got the lead to 44-23 and then coasted home with Wasatch never threatening. Murray scored eight of those points in that quarter to lead the team.
Mann, besides leading the team in scoring, pulled down nine rebounds and blocked two shots. Jensen led the team in rebounding with 10 rebounds and Brooke dished out three assists. Murray, just as it has been all season, was given the task of defending the best Wasatch player and Jessica did a good job of shutting her down.
Tayler Jewkes scored six points, had six rebounds, nine assists and four steals. Blayr Jeffs scored two points in the game, had three rebounds, five assists and two steals. Jeridi Price was the only player of the bench to score and she finished the night with two points at the free throw line.
Other winners last Saturday night in the first round of 3-A girls play were Canyon View defeating Judge 47-32, Carbon defeating Richfield 50-39, Cedar defeating Juan Diego 48-32, Delta defeating ALA 63-30, Hurricane defeating Bear River 64-56, Juab defeating Union 53-37 and Morgan defeating North Sanpete 72-21. Regions 9 and 12 each placed three teams into the final eight with regions 10 and 11 each placing one. Those two teams, Morgan of region 11 and Carbon of region 10, are the favorites to meet for the title as the tournament progresses.
They were ranked one and two in both of the Salt Lake papers as the season ended.
Region 12 teams could be hard to beat out though because they have had to fight throughout the season in a much tougher region. The six teams that Emery lost to during the season are still in the fight with most of those losses being close and coming on the opponent's home floor. Emery will open against Morgan in a game that will start at 4:10 pm this Thursday. The winner will play the winner of the Hurricane-Juab game on Friday at 12:50 pm and the loser will play the loser of that same game at 9:30 am Friday morning.
Delta will play Cedar and Carbon will face Canyon View in other second round games.

Here's the information you need to contact the editors of Family Practice Management about potential articles:
Telephone: 800-274-2237 or 913-906-6000, ext. 5119
Fax: 913-906-6010
Mail: 11400 Tomahawk Creek Pkwy. Leawood, KS 66211-2672
E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
FPM aims to give family physicians the tools they need to build rewarding practices and improve patient care. To accomplish that mission, we need articles written by progressive, insightful family physicians and others with pertinent expertise. We are eager to publish articles that can help family physicians in every area of practice except the strictly clinical, which is the purview of our sister journal, American Family Physician. For guidance on the kinds of topics we are looking for, see "What FPM Is About."
FPM publishes articles offering advice based on practical experience and on special knowledge or expertise. We don't normally publish formal review articles or research. While we prefer articles that reflect expert opinion or broad practice experience, we do occasionally publish first-person accounts or case studies when they are likely to have practical application for readers. The test of a manuscript we are considering will always be whether it is immediately useful to the family physicians who read FPM.
To get the best possible sense of what an FPM article is like, browse back issues of the journal. See FPM's Editorial Mission and Policies for more information. If you have an idea for an article, we would encourage you to contact us to make sure it suits FPM's needs and that we haven't recently accepted an article on the same topic (see "How to Contact Us"). If your organization is interested in sponsoring an editorial supplement, see FPM's Editorial Supplement Guidelines.
In keeping with the informal approach of FPM, we encourage authors to use a reasonably informal, conversational writing style rather than "journalese." But don't worry too much about style. Our editors are experts at making articles as readable and accessible as possible.
Most FPM articles are written by family physicians, although we also welcome submissions from practice administrators, practice management consultants, health care attorneys, and other subject matter experts, as well as physicians in other specialties. Freelance writers are rarely used and work only on assignment.
The following partial list of subjects we cover should give you an idea of how your article would fit within FPM:
Balancing practice and family; career options for family physicians; clinical guidelines; communication skills; computerization; cost-effective care; documentation and coding; employment issues; ethical practice; facilities and equipment; governmental reform; the health care marketplace; integration models; interspecialty issues; malpractice; managed care; negotiation and contracting; office management; optimizing patient relations; patient counseling; practice development; practice finance; practice sales and mergers; professional relations; quality improvement; regulations; reimbursement and collections; risk management; staffing; strategic planning; stress and change; third-party payers; time management.
We welcome manuscripts submitted in virtually any form, although we prefer e-mail submissions. We can read and translate files created with most popular word-processing programs.
We try to keep FPM articles short -- say, 2,000 to 3,000 words at most. That's about eight to 12 pages, double-spaced. If your manuscript includes a number of illustrations, graphs or tables, try to keep the manuscript text even shorter to compensate for the space these elements take up. We are also happy to have very short articles -- in the neighborhood of 750 to 1,500 words -- especially on reimbursement issues, information technology and clinical quality improvement. Finally, we welcome 750-word contributions to our one-page "Last Word" department. These brief pieces may be thoughtful reflections on medicine or light humor.
If you have written for publication before, you know that the elements that need to accompany a manuscript can be almost as much of a challenge to assemble as the manuscript itself. Here's our list of things to keep in mind:
Contact information. Make sure the title page includes each author's name with highest academic degree and institutional affiliation, as well as contact information for the author responsible for correspondence about the manuscript. The more contact information you include, the better.
Credentials. With each article we publish, we include brief statements of the authors' current professional responsibilities. Please include no more than a sentence or two for each author.
References. Please keep references to a minimum. FPM is deliberately informal; it is a practical journal rather than a research journal. Supply references only when you quote from or refer directly to a publication or when you wish to support a statement that you believe readers are likely to question.
Graphs, tables and illustrations. We encourage authors to think about illustrations and graphic displays of data. Where we see the need, we are available to help authors create or refine graphs and artwork to illustrate articles we publish.
As a rule, we want tables, graphs and illustrations that build on information provided in the body of the article rather than duplicate it. They should be understandable on their own, not dependent on the article for explanation. If you supply illustrations, please include descriptive material that can be used in a caption. We're happy to have video or photos for publication, although we may decline to use those that are not sharp, well-lit, interesting or useful. Please include signed photo releases from the individuals depicted. (We can supply photo-release forms to use.)
On request, we will return original artwork and photographs submitted with manuscripts, although for manuscripts we accept we will normally need to hold onto these items until the article is published.
If you incorporate previously published material into your article -- a table from another source, for instance -- please label it clearly with its source and add a prominent note saying "COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL; PERMISSION REQUIRED." We prefer to ask permission to reprint such material ourselves.
Before we make a decision about whether to accept your manuscript for publication, we will need you and your co-authors to complete a conflict of interest disclosure and a release form transferring copyright of the article to the AAFP. Both forms are included in a single PDF(7 page PDF). Please print and complete these forms and fax them to FPM at the same time you submit your manuscript (see "Getting in Touch with FPM").
FPM seldom accepts articles that public relations or marketing communications professionals have been involved in developing (e.g., writing, recruiting an author to write, editing, proofing, and assisting with research). Such involvement often signals that the article has been influenced by individuals who have conflicts of interest and/or that the author has a conflict of interest. Before the editors determine whether an article is suitable for peer review, the authors must disclose the involvement of such entities, and these disclosures generally point to conflicts of interest that can't be mitigated sufficiently to allow for acceptance of the article.
Our review process involves two steps. Each manuscript goes through an in-house review, during which the editors evaluate its suitability for FPM and its editability. Manuscripts that pass this review are then sent for peer review. We may reject a manuscript or ask the authors to revise it after either review stage, but we can formally accept manuscripts for publication only after they have made it through both stages. If no revisions are required, the process from submission to acceptance or rejection typically takes eight weeks.
If your manuscript is accepted, it will go through three editing stages: a substantive edit, a light "polishing" edit and a review for correctness. Some manuscripts are edited heavily in the first stage, and we sometimes ask authors to fill gaps in their presentation at that point. We will ask you to review and approve all substantive changes. Once the content is essentially final, we won't ask you to review subsequent versions of the article. Time from acceptance to publication varies, but you should expect it to take several months.
If you think you have an FPM article in you, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us. We will make the manuscript preparation process as painless as possible, and you will have a chance to be published in the practice management journal of the AAFP and to help more than 140,000 family physicians.

Leftovers? Stack cooled pancakes between sheets of waxed paper. Wrap in aluminum foil and freeze. To reheat, unwrap pancakes and removed waxed paper. Heat on ungreased cookie sheet in 400°F oven 5 to 7 minutes or until hot, or microwave uncovered on high until hot.
The lemon juice and baking powder provide a little more "lift" in these pancakes, making them lighter and fluffier than most.
Drizzle these pancakes with warm apple syrup for a taste of heaven.
Stir the batter with a wire whisk or fork just until the ingredients are moistened. Any remaining lumps in the batter will disappear during cooking.

Kudos to those who suggested that Atlas was only a milkyway...
Kudos to those who suggested that Atlas was only a milkyway...
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
The ending of this arc was rushed.
I definitely want to know what the giants have to offer now.
As expected, Wendy has fully mastered Milky Way she can do it without the magic circle.
Some interesting things came out of this chapter, Igneel tried to stop Zeref's most vile magic E.N.D but failed. I wonder if that's what created Acnologia.
Another interesting thing is Silver, I saw some interesting theories on the Mangastream comment section. I liked the one that stated Silver could be Gray's father, they have a few things in common. their looks, their names (Gray, Silver) colour names, their magic and there's a theory Silver become a demon slayer to avenge his family after the Deloria incident.
And this is the first mage we seen from Tartarus, I wonder if they're all demon slayers their guild name means underworld if I'm not mistaken. Things are looking interesting can't wait for more.
Well, that depends. Gray said that this "Devil Slaying Magic" felt familiar, so it's possible that he was actually referencing Silver and not Ul, since he couldn't pinpoint to who it supposedly belonged.
Seeing as normal Ice Wizards couldn't channel the ice, yet Gray could, also can suggest that he is related to Silver. For example both of them being from the same clan, you know like Silver being Gray's uncle or something like that, since supposedly the Demon have killed Gray's parents.
It's also worth mentioning that Silver wears Cross Earrings, while Gray wears Cross Necklace (supposedly, originally Gray was meant to be the 10th Rave Master, but that was changed , so now he might belong to the line of Devil Slayers or something like that).
From the looks of it, regardless of his connection to Silver, Gray is going to class-change into a Ice Devil Slayer (a higher level class).
It's pretty interesting that seemingly every God Slayer learned their magic from books (Hades also found it in one of the books IIRC or at least that was suggested).
It's also interesting that indifference to God Slayers, a Devil Slayer can slay a Dragon. Perhaps this means that Silver is a true one and was taught by a real Ice Devil, indifference to all known GSs ? Then again Atlas Flame might have been weakened anyway.
It's also worth mentioning that a vile magic from book of Zeref, called E.N.D, was used, not that Zeref used it himself. Seemingly the Magic from Book of Zeref was used many times in the series, but there is no mention of Zeref using it himself, it is quite strange, perhaps suggesting that the Book of Zeref existed before Zeref, while people's prayers and wishes made Zeref come to life, or rather transformed someone into one ? Since Zeref mentions something about the fact that it was because of people's will that he came to be or something along those line.
BTW here are how Dragon's names would be if they were to be fully translated in English :
- Ignition Eel,
- Metallic Cane,
- Grand Andine,
- Shadow Drum,
- White Oracle,
- Evil Oracle,
- Atlas Flame,
- Mother Glare,
- Scissor Runner,
- Zirconis (or perhaps Zirconias),
- Riverias (it wasn't mentioned, but basing on his name consisting mainly of "river" and how he looks, he is quite likely a Water Dragon).
Can someone iron out the timeline here? Was the Ice spell cast 400 yrs ago or not?
I am not perfect and I defy you to prove otherwise
Growing Old Gracefully is an Oxymoron ... Mostly Moron !
Demon Slaying Magic will be much needed when Zeref starts his war, I hope the Tartarus works with Fairy Tail, I don't think either of them want the end of the world.
Aggravate, Anger, and Piss off
So the people from Tartarus are good or bad guys? Anyways i feel that Silver is likely to be related to Ur(Ul) like close friend or maybe mentor and disciple relationship?

Excellent ProductI have extremely thick, course hair. I have so much hair that it costs over $600 for me to get a chocolate treatment. As a result, I get them twice a year instead of every four months. This cap is great for refreshing my treatment at a fraction of the cost. I have used it both with a keratin masque and with my regular conditioner, and both ways my hair comes out soft and shiny. It comes with one processing package, I bought a pack of 30 for approximately $4. This was the best price I found anywhere on the internet. This is a good deal on an excellent product.Apr 12, 2013Sarah K. / United StatesHAIR TYPEMedium Brown / Dry Hair / Thick or Coarse Hair / Chemically Treated Hair

Try Something ElseThe little blue plastic cap that comes with the hood is cheap and the elastic broke within a few weeks. The hood itself is uncomfortable when you tie it under your chin, but doesnt quite fit snugly if you dont tie it under your chin. Im not sure if this is a flaw in my cap or if this is normal, but the cap does not get warm at the nape of the neck, which means the conditioner I put it is still cold after an hour under this thing! Lastly, the cap can easily burn your ears if youre not careful. Try a heat cap that inflates instead.Mar 10, 2009A.p.

UkI brought this product and used it, I am from the UK and although the product heated up okay, i left it for a minute only to find it burnt itself away i dont know if that is because the current is different! But i never really got to experience its delight, so if you are from the UK be carefull as it may not have the same result as the Americans!Oct 17, 2008Kia / Uk

I Like It!Although it is a little pricey, overall the product works well. I use it while watching T.V, and honestly I sometimes forget its on. Use it for 30 minutes with your favorite leave in treatment, it really makes a difference.CON--> The chin strap can become uncomfortable...but u get used to it. also, the top of it doesnt seem to get as hot as the rest.Oct 4, 2007Marie / Miami

Fantastic!!!!!The Beauty HeatCap Professional Hair Conditioning Cap, works wonders for my hair, I used this cap and what a difference it made in my hair. Im going through a transition from perm to natural, and my hair has been breaking, because of the dryness in my hair, but when I used the Beauty HeatCap Professional Hair Conditioning Cap with my favorite tcb oil treatment. My hair is very soft and shiny as well as thicker. If you are looking for a product to inhance the quality of your hair this is the product. I love it.Jan 23, 2007Dee / Georgia

Love It!I loved this cap! After applying treatment, and putting on the cap...I waited about 20 mins. After I rinsed my hair, it was soft, and silky. It looked and felt so healthy! A great purchase I am about to buy one for my sister! (She keeps using mine!)Dec 12, 2006Anastasia / Glastonbury, Ct

Results Very SatisfiedThe first time I used it, I was very surprised on how soft it made my hair. I put on hair treatment and used the conditioning cap for 20 min. Then I blow dry my hair. It turned out real soft and less frizzy. 100% satisfied with the result. The only thing is that I used the "low" heat, it may become too hot if use "medium" level of heat.Jun 14, 2006Christine / California

Customer Reviews
Comments: Great paint job on these, but the thing fell apart after the first use! Emailed the company & they said they would replace it, but then stopped responding to my emails. Waste of money & they don't stand behind their products.
From: D: NY 7/19/16
Comments: Caught 5 bass, that were under 2lbs & the thing exploded. Good paint job, but the durability is just not there. Save your money.
From: D: NY 7/18/16
Comments: Awesome! I'd have to say perfection. I happened across these down at a bait shop in okeechobee. Bought one and used it back home here in Indiana. Loved it. First time I caught on a swim jig with any real success. Caught 7 then broke off! So had to hunt them down. Found them here and the rest is history. Match with any rage tail product or maybe a vile craw from bio spawn and you'll have great success
From: Andy: IN 7/23/15
Comments: A great looking jig with a really nice skirt. However, I wish the skirts were tied with thread or wire instead having the rubber band collar. They last much longer when they are tied. Also they have WAY to much weed guard. Had to trim it way back. Overall a great fish catching jig that could use a few improvements.
From: Matt: WI 7/5/14
Comments: First off I love the jig. Swims straight with just the right flex in the weed guard. That being said the hook really stinks. I have straightened quite a few. Wish they would go to the gammi hook they have in there flipping jigs and i would never buy another swim jig.
From: Phillip: AL 5/19/14
Comments: I have had no problems with these swim jigs, paint does not chip, great skirt colors, sharp hook, and good weed guard. Due to the large amount of fish I have caught on these, and the lack of problems, these are the only swim jigs I throw.
From: Ryan: Chantilly, VA
Comments: The weed guard issue on these has been taken care of. Don't let that stop you from buying these jigs.I bought some of these in the Spring because of the hook and the awesome colors. Had a weed guard fall out while fishing, so eventually I sent an email late one night to Dirty Jigs Tackle. The owner answered me early the next morning. He said they had a batch of these swim jigs produced in the Spring that went out without enough glue on the weed guards. He apologized for the error, thanked me for contacting him, and within 2 weeks he replaced my jigs and threw in a few extra. It took me a while to get around to emailing him about the problem. Long enough that I wasn't sure what kind of response I would get, but they stood behind there product and did right by me and then some. Get some, you won't regret it.
From: Thomas: Chattanooga, TN
Comments: if you're gonna throw this, don't use braid. the hooks are big but i bent them like they were lightwire hooks. decent jigs though, catch me a lot of fish
From: J: IL
Comments: Best colors and color selection, large hook - It just works!
From: Allen: Fort Worth, TX, USA
Comments: These jigs are not made very well. On the first fish I caught on one of the jigs the weed guard came out. You could stick the whole thing back in. They were not glued properly.
From: Terry: Jacksonville, FL
Comments: 5/16 Citrus Shad + Darkstar swimmer in hot fish color gets big fish in dirty water... every time.
From: Joe: TX, USA.
Comments: Dirty Jigs definitely produces a good jig, in the best colors of I've seen offered. Its just that the weed guard is a little too stout on these for me. I recommend trimming them a little.
From: Sam: IL
Comments: solid swim jig. The hook is great, the paint is invincible, and it catches fish. What more can you ask for? Put a grub or a 4" swimbait on the back and this jig becomes unstoppable. Caught 15 today in 3 hours on the bluegill 1/2 oz with a green pumpkin/chartreuse swimming caffeine shad.
From: Cullen: Ashburn, VA
Comments: I fish an 11 acre Pond in Norman OK...The Bayou Bluegill is working great!
From: Paul: OKC, OK
Comments: There is nothing i could say bad about these jigs the quality and colors are awesome i've caught countless fish on these!
From: Dan: Cali
Comments: Sorry to hear any one has had a problem with a Dirty Jigs, they stand behind their product so if you have had a problem contact them. I'm sure they will take care of it.
From: Ted: WI
Comments: THESE JIGS ARE HORRIBLE I GOT MINE AND THE TIP WAS BROKE OFF THE HOOK RIGHT OUT OF THE PACKAGE, WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER DIRTY JIG
From: IA
Comments: I originaly bought these over the california swim jig to save a dollar. These baits are amazing I use a Big Hammer 4" swim bait as a traler and the colors match perfect! It took a little while to find the right color trailer but man do they rock!
From: Dylan: CA
Comments: These are great jigs and I do love the color selection, but do not leave out NorthStar Custom Baits in the discussion for best swim jig/color selection on the market. Both are great companies that offer great handcrafted products.
From: Lanny: ND
Comments: AWSOME SWIM JIG! Fishing these jigs on Toledo Bend, Sam Rayburn, and Red River. Good compact head, comes though cover and grass good, and hook holds up to braided super lines.
From: Big Bass Dude
Comments: A 3.5 lb smallie nailed my gizzard shad imposter. this lake isn't even supposed to have them in it! this jig is great. countless largemouth and now 1 nice bronzeback. Tipped with a SK rage grub, this jig is unstoppable!
From: John: WI
Comments: At least one guy from WI loves these jigs. They're durable, have good hooks that stay sharp and come in ENOUGH colors. Tie one on see for yourself.
From: John
Comments: Mike your from wisconsin and hating on a great company with hands down the best colors and best quality
From: Louis
Comments: At Gary from Louisiana, Brovarney makes over 100 different colors... I feel much safer using Gamakatsu hooks on those than I did with mustads on these, thats just me though.
From: Mike: WI
Comments: These are by far the best swim jigs, and I dare say all around jigs and skirts available. They are all hand made and please name another brand with such a variety of colors. Throw any kind of paddling or twirling trailer in a similar color on the back, cast, and hang on. Dill Gill, Baby bass, alabama craw... The list goes on. Customer for life and won't try another brand.
From: Gary: God's Country, LA
Comments: This is a great product. So far I have no complaints. Hook up ratio is good, colors are good, and the price is pretty good. Matched up with the right trailer and you will definitely catch you plenty of largies!
From: Zak: Manhattan, KS
Comments: I first started buying these jigs from Marks Outdoors about a year ago and seem to be my go to jig. That citrus shad is beast.
From: Jared: Pell City, AL
Comments: i got the green sunfish color in my first ever order to tw and i went down to my pond and caught 3 bass over 2lbs then i caught one over 7lbs and one over 5lbs i was using the 3/8oz
From: Nick: Montgomery, TX
Comments: Good jig haven't caught anything with it because i think im using the wrong color I think but from what I can see the skirt is like running your fingers through silk its really soft, but its also durable. I usually have problems with other jigs skirts' coming off but this one I have had no problems with it. Weedguard is nice I trimmed mine a little but it's really personally preference. All around a High Quality jig and I will not buy another brand another unless its like a Buckeye Mop Jig because those are very nice jigs also. I highly recommend this jig, the price cannot be beat for the quality components of this jig. Last but not least, the hooks. The hooks are Mustad hooks and they are really sharp.
From: Robbie: FL
Comments: these swim jigs are AMAZING... they put fish in the boat day after day. the paint is very durable and the skirts look awesome. these with their skirt trimmed and a kalins grub of a matching color look great. already have 5 in assorted color, especially black and blue(my personal favorite. buy 'em up but leave some for me.
From: Justin: Washington, D.C.
Comments: no contest the best detail in skirts and paint on the heads, the shad imitators are all spot on. just wish that they were hand tied. i tie my own and mimic these colors because their amazing
From: Jiggin: NJ
Comments: These use to be my favorite jigs till I found out the only ones that they hand tie seem to be Alabama Craw and Bream. Seriously, if I am paying close to $4 a jig I want them to be hand tied.
From: Josh: Virginia, USA
Comments: Contrary to a previous comment, I have not had any issues with durability of any of the Dirty Jigs' products. The paint finish is durable and unlike other brands of jigs, the eyes actually stay attached. The color schemes and detail of the skirts are unmatched by any other swim jig I have come across - and I've used close to all of them. No knock on TW intended, but the pictures on the site just don't do these jigs justice. Some of these patterns have 5 or 6 different colors in the skirts. Even the standard Black and Blue pattern has 4 different variations of black and blue.
From: Paul: USA
Comments: A pretty good swim jig, comes through cover pretty well but it doesn't have great durability
thats why i started using Brovarney baits, much much better, but this is still a good jig.
From: Joe: Wisconsin, USA
Comments:The Dirty Jig Swim Jig is in my opinion the best swim jig on the market! If I were going to design a swim jig it would be a carbon copy of this jig. The head design is perfect for its application and the hook is super harp and has a large enough shank to accommodate just about any trailer you could imagine. The weedguard has enough strand to coustomize and trim it to your own liking but will get the job done straight out of the box. The skirting is high quality silicon and come in awesome colors. The sac-a-lait, threadfin shad, and gizzard shad are spot on and great shad imitators. Overall, I give this jig a 10 out of 10 and will continue to purchase them in the future.
From:Justin: Oklahoma, USA
Comments:It's a great thing that you carry this line of jigs because they are by far the best I have ever used. The paint and skirt detail in umatched in the industry. All the jigs in the Dirty Jigs line have helped me catch more and bigger fish.
From:Troy USA

Taking care of your skin used to be all about identifying your skin type: oily, normal or dry? You picked out a facial cleanser and products designed specifically for your skin type, and that was that. Use them religiously, and you were promised a lovely, glowing complexion.
Today's skincare options encompass gadgets and oils you never would have imagined even 10 years ago. Pamper your skin so you can put your best face forward.
Skincare Oils
As counterintuitive as it seems to use oil on your face, skincare oils can improve your skin tone no matter what your skin type. There's even an oil that helps control your skin's production of more oil!
Our favorite skincare oil for the summer months is Josie Maran Protect Daily Sun Protection Argan Oil. This chemical-free, SPF 40+ sunblock is perfect for daily use on your face, neck, and chest. Besides protection from the sun, the argan oil gives your skin an anti-aging boost. For more serious restorative power, try Cecilia Wong Reviving Black Currant Serum. It's especially suitable for skin recovering from sunburn, laser skin treatments or eczema.
Natural Skincare
You know you're doing right by your health when you discover natural skincare products that really work without ingredients that are harsh or dangerous to your skin. Today's products offer scientifically engineered levels of purity along with plant-based ingredients and simplicity that works — these are a far cry from yesterday's gooey, hippie-dippy kitchen sink concoctions.
Indie Lee Blemish Lotion is proof positive that Mom (and Grandma!) really did know best. This pretty pink potion in a little old-school bottle relies on old-school ingredients to dry up blemishes overnight. Its natural ingredients: purified water, isopropyl alcohol, colloidal sulfur, zinc oxide, salicylic acid, magnesium, aluminum silicate (clay), camphor, iron oxide.
We've found that many natural skincare products come in beautiful old-fashioned or all-natural packaging — a nice bonus. We'll admit to having bought J.R. Watkins products simply for their gorgeous, apothecary-style packaging, but the non-toxic, plant-based formulas inside are just as tempting.
High-Tech Skincare Gadgets
Skincare brushes are a great way to get that clean pores feeling. If you love a little extra help from your tech, you'll be pleased to hear that skincare tech has evolved far beyond mere cleansing.
Zap your way to tighter, firmer skin with the NuFace Nonsurgical Microcurrent Facelift, or buff your body to silky smoothness with the BelleCore Body Buffer (which we have to admit makes us feel a bit like a hot rod on the receiving end of a wax job).
Removing dull, dead skin cells from your skin improves the way it looks and feels — but exfoliation is a tricky technique that's all too easy to overdo. Exfoliating scrubs containing tiny granules — even natural ingredients like sugar — can be too rough on skin, leading to microabrasions, redness and irritation.
We recommend a gentler touch with a chemical exfoliator with alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid or salicylic acid. Use it no more than once or twice a week; if you prefer to exfoliate more frequently, try a glycolic product. Take a natural tack with a pineapple or papaya exfoliator like Alba Botanica Hawaiian Pineapple Enzyme Facial Cleanser, which gently lifts and dissolves dirt and old cells to reveal fresh new skin.

There's a thoughtful and important conversation going on over at Britannica Blog about how — or if — Web 2.0 will transform education, as well as the changing roles of student and teacher in our emerging digital age. The series of essays from boldface names in academia including Michael Wesch, Mark Bauerlein, Dan Willingham and David Cole is mercifully light on the smugness and pie-eyed utopianism that is typical of most writing on education technology.
"While most of our classrooms were built under the assumption that information is scarce and hard to find," writes Kansas State University cultural anthropologist Michael Wesch, "nearly the entire body of human knowledge now flows through and around these rooms in one form or another."
We are enveloped in a cloud of ubiquitous digital information where the nature and dynamics of knowledge have shifted. We can acknowledge that most of our students have powerful devices on them that give them instant and constant access to this cloud (including almost any answer to almost any multiple choice question you can imagine). We can welcome laptops, cell phones, and iPods into our classrooms, not as distractions, but as powerful learning technologies. We can use them in ways that empower and engage students in real world problems and activities, leveraging the enormous potentials of the digital media environment that now surrounds us.
Emory University's Mark Bauerlein, the author of The Dumbest Generation and a reknowned digital skeptic responds that "no generation has experienced so many techno-enhancements and produced so little intellectual progress. Still, in spite of these underwhelming numbers, pro-tech advocacy continues. The disappointing results come years after the initial launch, and so people forget the promises put forward about how technology would transform learning. But with school budgets tight and student writing in critical condition, we need more accountability in the initiatives and more hard skepticism about learning benefits. And we need a lot less fervor for tools and screens that have only existed for a few years and whose human consequences are yet to be determined."
The genie has long since left the bottle argues Steve Hargadon, founder of the Classroom 2.0 social network. "What is abundantly clear is that no matter what our schools are currently doing, most of our students are already actively involved in this content creation and conversation outside of school." University of Virginia psychology professor Dan Willingham, with his singular gift for separating the transformational from the merely trendy notes:
At the heart of Hargadon's vision—and Michael Wesch's—is the collaborative student project, and this idea has been prominent in American education since 1919, when William Kilpatrick published his classic essay, "The Project Method." Kilpatrick and his followers would recognize most of Hargadon's list of advantages for Web 2.0 learning: engagement, authenticity, participation, openness, collaboration, creativity, personal expression, discussion, asynchronous contribution, and critical thinking. Most or all of these advantages accrue not from Web 2.0 in particular, but from its collaborative nature, and from the fact that students have a significant voice in selecting and shaping the project.
"The question is really whether Web 2.0 makes the student project more likely to succeed than project-based learning did before Web 2.0," Willingham writes.
The most persuasive point in the series so far arguably comes from Michael Horn, the Executive Director of Innosight Institute and co-author of the recent Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns.
If we hope for computer-based or online learning to have a positive impact and fulfill its transformative promise at scale, we need to implement it in a counterintuitive way by deploying it disruptively — that is, by allowing it to compete against non-consumption, where the alternative is literally nothing at all. Once there, it will predictably improve, and at some point, it will become good enough to handle more complicated problems and supplant the old way of doing things. This is how all disruptive innovations transform their field.
Horn cites examples of education non-consumption advanced courses that many schools are unable to offer, small, rural, and urban schools that are unable to offer breadth, home-schooled students and those who can't keep up with the regular schedule of school, and those who need tutoring, among others.
Deep in the comments section of one of the essays, Karin Chenoweth of the Education Trust offers a thoughtful coda to the entire conversation: "The last thing we need is a generation of students who are able to synchronize their dance moves with millions of other people on YouTube but still have no idea of their roles as citizens in the most powerful democracy in the world–or, for that matter, what a democracy is and how democracies differ from the other ways humans organize their societies."

So disappointed
"I was so excited to find these shoes after search for some close toe, non suede wedges. I wore these to work, received several compliments and they were comfortable to walk in. The only thing I do not like is that back of the shoe scraped the back of my ankle. Making it very uncomfortable to walk, leaving a mark and I had to put a bandage on. So wish I could return these shoes. I may end up giving these away."

Love at first sight
"I have been looking for some black wedges unfortuanaly I was unable to get them in black so I ordered the grey and they were lovely. You need to wear them around the house to break them in but I can wear them all day at work no problem. The only thing about the light grey heel is they get bruised easily and it shows, so thats the only negative. I love the shoe and when the black become available I will definitely order them."

note that sasuke says that he can predict naruto's movements. sasori's puppets are made of wood. itachi just needs to use katon jutsus to burn the puppets.
as you can see itachi was only using ninjutsu and taijutsu and kakashi with his sharingan could barely keep up with itachi. sasori doesn't even have the sharingan so how will he survive against itachi's fast jutsus? oh and as you can see itachi made his clone explode so his clones aren't so pathetic.
that's how itachi's gonna break sasori's main puppet. with his bare hands. if he's capable of breaking human bone with his bare hands then i say he's capable of breaking sasori's main puppet bare handed. if chiyo had such a huge advantage against sasori then why didn't their battle end quicker or even why wasn't she able to kill sasori without sasori give her the chance? did you forget that the sharingan can see chakra flow? once itachi activates his sharingan he'll instantly know that sasori's weak point is his heart and then he'll destroy it.
the third kazekage was said to be the best kage that the sand village ever had. he wasn't the best kage in existence. just because sasori defeated the third kazekage doesn't mean anyone else wouldn't have been able to defeat the third kazekage.

Canada falls to Dominican Republic in Pan Am Cup opener
LIMA, Peru (September 3, 2012) – The Trinity Western women's volleyball team, representing
Canada, dropped its first game of the U-23 Pan American Cup to Dominicana,
falling 3-0 (25-14, 25-13, 25-20) at Miguel Grau Coliseum Monday.
The Langley, B.C. school, who were playing in their first official game
since earning a fifth place finish at last year's CIS national championship
and first match donning red and white, had an impressive third set – keeping
it close throughout with a strong Dominicana side – but that was the
brightest spot in what was a tough opening match for the Canadian
"For most of my players this is their first international experience and
today we played against a very talented team in the Dominican Republic who
were very physical with great jumping ability," Trinity Western coach Ryan
Hofer said. "It is a learning process for us."
Trinity Western was led by Amy Ott (Leschied) (East Selkirk, Man.) and Royal
Richardson (Rocky Mountain House, Alta.), who each had four kills while
Alicia Perrin (Creston, B.C.) finished with a team-high three blocks and
Kelci French (Okotoks, Alta.) had nine running sets and three kills.
First-year outside hitter Sophie Carpentier (Ottawa, Ont.) had a game-high
three aces to go along with three kills in just two sets.
The Dominicans held an overwhelming advantage of 40-18 in attacks and
committed just 18 errors to 25 by the Spartans. Dominicana also outblocked
the Spartans 8-6 but it was Trinity Western with five service aces to the
Dominicans two.
Yonkaira Peña and Lisvel Eve registered 17 and 14 points respectively as the
top scorers for Dominicana. Jeoselyna Rodriguez contributed 8 points and
Candida Arias added six.
Trinity Western will take on host Peru Tuesday at 8:30 p.m. (6:30 p.m. PDT)
and Costa Rica Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. (4:30 p.m. PDT) to round out pool
Canada and the Dominicans are joined in Pool B by Peru and Costa Rica. Peru
trounced Costa Rica 25-8, 25-10, 25-8. The Pool A teams are Brazil,
Colombia, Cuba and Argentina. Brazil defeated Colombia in four sets and
Argentina took Cuba, also in four on Monday.

Canyon Plastics originated the Gitzit tube lure and the Minijig over 20 years ago and have since been copied across the globe. But remember, there is only one original Garry Garland Gitzit bass tube bait.

Comments: Won my first bass tournament on this tube bait. Caught the big bass of the tournament, also, on the cinnamon and purple flake. Great action!
From: Jason: SoCal
Comments: Great tube to drag over deep holes in the rivers up here in northern Ohio during the summer months for monster small mouth.
From: Charles: Ohio
Comments: brown melon blk/purp flake is the best color they make i have thousands of these tubes. awesome
From: Frankie: Kingman, AZ
Comments: A finesse tube with a nice long fine skirt. I bought a bag and I am not sure if I will buy another. There is, IMHO, too much salt infused in the plastic and the bait is really fragile as a result.
From: Dean: British Columbia, Canada
Comments:These baits are a must for the Colorado river chain, excellent for smallmouth bass.
From:Timmy: Phoenix, AZ
