Gospel Reading
Document Actions
16th Monday after Pentecost
The Gospel according to Mark 5:24-34
At that time, a great crowd followed him and thronged about him. And there was a woman who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and who had suffered much under many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was no better but rather grew worse. She had heard the reports about Jesus, and came up behind him in the crowd and touched his garment. For she said, "If I touch even his garments, I shall be made well." And immediately the hemorrhage ceased; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her disease. And Jesus, perceiving in himself that power had gone forth from him, immediately turned about in the crowd, and said, "Who touched my garments?" And his disciples said to him, "You see the crowd pressing around you, and yet you say, 'Who touched me?'" And he looked around to see who had done it. But the woman, knowing what had been done to her, came in fear and trembling and fell down before him, and told him the whole truth. And he said to her, "Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace, and be healed of your disease."

London/Nairobi, 28 March 2002 - The programme provides food for thought as world leaders prepare for the upcoming United Nations Summit slated to address social and environmental ills that must be faced if development in the 21st century must continue apace.
"UNEP has been pleased to be a sponsor of the edirorially-independent series for over three years", says Tore Brevik, UNEP's Director of Communication. "Earth Report will be the only weekly series on global television that sets out to cover the issues on the Johannesburg agenda".
The broadcast on BBC World Television reaches some 180 million homes. UNEP is particularly pleased to be associated with the programme and sees it as a way of providing viewers with a better insight into the policy issues with which world leaders will be faced at the Summit.
According to Robert Lamb, series editor: Our aim is to shed light on sustainable development, to give a glimpse of its meaning to people in different parts of the world. We are making it as painless as possible for our viewers to connect with the organizations most closely involved in trying to ensure there will be a positive outcome to the Johannesburg Summit".
Some of the programmes to be aired are:
· A Fish too Far: how one West African State is taking on the European Union to ensure a sustainable fishery
· Rich Pickings: Earth Report goes to the Amazon with the endangered species police to find that wildlife smuggling is out of control
· Not a Dirty Word: Contaminated water is the world's biggest killer. In Nairobi, Manila and Sao Paulo, local communities are spearheading the big clean-up
· Growing Up 2002: TVE revisits the children born at the time of the Rio Earth Summit. The Growing Up programmes tell the fate of the environment through the six families covered by Earth Report's crews in the intervening decade.
The new instalment in the award-winning series, made by the independent Television Trust for the Environment (TVE ) will be fully interactive. On the eve of the Summit, TVE will stage a special Earth Report debate featuring the leading players at Johannesburg.
Earth Report is broadcast five times per week GMT on Monday at 2230, Tuesday at 09.30 and 14.30, Wednesday at 02.30 a.m. and Saturday at 1930. For local broadcast times consult www.bbcworld

"Very pretty shoe. The right-height heel for all-day wear and still looks dressy. The ivory has a slightly rosy hue. It's nice but just so you know. Size 8.5 fit me perfectly and doesn't hurt my bunions (though I could always use more ball-of-foot padding; this shoe is better than most, though). One small criticism: the leather is not perfectly smoothed out where it joins the heel -- it's hardly noticeable but makes me wonder about quality control."

"The fit on this shoe is great. True to length, a bit on the narrow side, which is great for my narrow feet, and it is so comfortable. I have a different sandal by the same brand and I'm happy with how consistently they fit and the comfort."

Thieves who broke into a Dutch museum during the night made off with seven paintings, including a Picasso, a Matisse and 2 Monets worth "considerable value."
The paintings were taken from Rotterdam's Kunsthal Museum, which is showing its own works as well as paintings from the Triton Foundation collection of avant-garde art.
Police spokeswoman Willemieke Romijn says police are reviewing videotapes of the theft, which took place around 3 a.m. Tuesday, the Associated Press reports.
"There was a break-in during the night and a few paintings were taken that represent a considerable sum," says spokeswoman, Patricia Wessels, the BBC reports.
The Kunsthal exhibition was showing works by more than 150 famed artists.
Others whose work was on display include Alexander Calder, Paul Cezanne, Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Edgar Degas, Marcel Duchamp, Paul Gauguin, Jasper Johns, Roy Lichtenstein, Rene Magritte, Claude Monet, August Rodin and Andy Warhol.

September earned its feared reputation in markets, but not every ninth month is bad.
Q: Will stocks fall in the fall?
A: Stocks have been on such a tear this year, it's only natural investors would start wondering when the run will end.
If history is a guide, September is a good time to start getting worried.
September has been the worst month for stocks going back many decades. Stocks measured by the Standard & Poor's 500 have fallen 0.6%, on average, in September going back to 1950, says The Stock Trader's Almanac.
The total percentage decline during September since 1950 has been 35.4%, exponentially outpacing the second-worst month, February, with its total loss of 7.4%. September also holds the dubious claim to have the worst month in history: The S&P 500 lost 29.9% of its value in September 1931.
But as onerous as these statistics look, investors need to remember that they're averages, not predictions. Stocks actually gained in 27 of the past 61 Septembers, so it's not a foregone conclusion that stocks must fall in the ninth month of the year.
Sometimes, September can deliver real upside surprises. Investors might be surprised to learn that September 1939 was the fifth-best month for the S&P 500 since 1930, posting a 16.5% gain, says The Stock Trader's Almanac.

The annual Shop with a Cop was held recently at ALCO and at Walmart. Deputies Shaun Bell, Mike Jorgensen, AJ O'Neil, Garrett Conover, Tyson Huntington and Sgts. Norm Vuksinick and Mitch Vetere participated. They helped the participants choose gifts and pushed the cart with their load of treasures.
The deputies also kept track of the spending of the child. ALCO and Walmart donated the money for use in the Shop with a Cop program.
Emery County Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "I think the program is very worthwhile, it gives the officers a chance to interact with some of our less fortunate people and also gives the individual the opportunity to see the police in a different light. A police officer is not just someone who gives tickets. A lot of people need a little extra help around Christmas time.
"Our deputies are happy to provide this service with our youth. Each of the elementary schools nominate a child or family to Shop with a Cop. This service helps brighten the holidays for some of our county residents," said Sheriff Guymon.
This night's shoppers included Shantelle Erickson. She went up and down the toy aisles searching for the perfect gifts. She was looking for boots for herself and also some gifts to give her little brothers.

The Xcalibur XCS Square Lip Silent Crankbait is exactly what you need when bass are finicky and holding in shallow cover. It doesn't have a rattle, so it can sneak up on fish and trigger vicious strikes with its wide, seductive wobble and semi-roll. Its square bill design also allows it to bump-and-run through all types of cover - shallow wood, rocks, weeds, etc. Equipped with Tx3 inline hooks that ride up against the body to reduce snags, as well as, the buoyancy to float up and out of obstructions, the Xcalibur XCS Square Bill Silent Crankbait is also now available in unique, new colors - designed by the likes of top bass fishing pro's, 2008 Bassmaster Classic Champ, Alton Jones, and BASS Elite stars, Edwin Evers and Timmy Horton.

Customer Reviews
Comments: these are amazing caught a 6 pound largemouth amazing for the money a lot cheaper then jackall ask and lucky craft.
From: Ryan: Roseland, NJ 6/19/15
Comments: These are easily my favorite crankbaits that I have used. I was a big fan of the Strikeking KVD's but after constantly breaking the bills off and getting the hooks tangled on my line I decided to give these a try. So far I have yet to break the bill on the one I have and I've caught numerous fish with it. It has a nice tight wobble and has a slow rise when stopped that bass love. Foxy Lady is the color I have and plan to get more especially when you can find them on clearance.
From: Mitch: Brownsburg, IN 4/22/15
Comments: These squarebills are Bangin! They come with decent hooks & hardware & the weigh more than the average crankbait of the same size. Last year during prespawn in early April I was ripping squarebills out of isolated weed beds & had a 3lb 12oz LM come out and violently eat my crank. Great little crank and cheaper than a megabass or Lucky Craft
From: Jordan: RI 2/24/15
Comments: found a few on sale at wallyworld and never had luck on any crankbaits till I was having a slow day and put it, must of caught 30 fish on Tennessee special and foxy lady the next week alone in a small pond. I can't tell u how many 5 pounders I landed. I am a believer in these. I've picked up most of the colors since then and stocked up on my fav colors. For me this has been a game changer from the normal senko only strategy.
From: Jeff801: TX 1/30/15
Comments: I own 4 of these bad boys and they have become my favorite squarebill by far. Have caught many many bass including a 6 on the fire tiger, which also kills in ponds. If you haven't tried these you need too. Gander mountain usually has a couple on sale somewhere. Got 2 yesterday for 4 dollars each.
From: Parker: AL 1/3/15
Comments: love love love these cranks!! Picked up 2 from gander mountain for no good reason when they were on sale for 2 for 6 dollars. Have caught more than any other crankbait for me. Even caught my PB yesterday. Fire tigers the way to go to imitate bream
From: Parker: AL 11/24/14
Comments: Love these cranbaits. Plan on replacing all my kvd's with them. The rayburn gold, the only color I have right now, catches big bass. Can't wait to try the others.
From: Drew: NM 9/6/14
Comments: XCS 300 black back chartreuse is a killer once the water warms up a bit! so basically spawn and post-spawn, caught a lot of hawgs on these lures, they work wonders in cold water as well in shallow ponds or lakes
From: Stephen: Manchester, CT
Comments: The thing that sets this bait apart from the competition is that the two inch bait is a little heavier than most and casts like a bullet. Easy for pitching under limbs, or covering a lot of water. Awsome action even at the slowest speeds. Largemouth, smallmouth and pike flat out eat this bait! My most productive crankbait period.
From: paparalph: Hayden, Idaho
Comments: Catch alot of great bass on the Tennessee Special on Toledo Bend. When the fish are not active this will get them fired up!
From: Zach: Many, LA
Comments: grabbed a couple about a year ago for no good reason. They rode around in the boat for a while, then one day I tied one on and was like WHOA. Yet another good squarebill, silent but deadly.
From: meatwad: squaresville
Comments: one of the only cranks i have used for large mouth bass and i am catching 50 % more fish every time i go fishing, also catch quite a few muskies on it
From: Nick: WI
Comments: Most of the time I fish tidal rivers and I like to fish shallow. This is my favorite shallow water crankbait. I catch nice largemouth with it as well as other species of fish.
From: Larry: Toano, VA
Comments: i love these baits so much better then the kvd 1.5 by far
Comments: Great lure but They need to make one that runs a little deeper than this one. The fish love it when it bounces
From: CA
Comments: these squarebills are awesome!! the only drawback to them which is common problem on most cranks are the quality of the hooks. i change mine out and swap them for gamkatsu short shank trebles size 4 on the xcs 100 other than that its a great bait!!!
From: Wade: AL
Comments: Cannot say enough about these cranks. Run true straight out of the box, immaculate color schemes/finish, good hooks. Citrus shad and TN special are my go to baits. I will definitely be buying more. Easily the best affordable shallow crankbaits on the market hands down.
From: 16 year old bassmaster: Up on the lake, MN
Comments: Xcalibur makes some of the best cranks for the money...I love that they are a silent crank-bait...And they produce a ton of fish in my local waterways...I've used them in tourneys, and they have delivered when nothing else would get touched...This is the only lure, I feel, comes close to Lucky Craft (and I love LC Cranks but they are soo over priced!), so for half the price, Xcalibur is the way to go!...The hooks are super tacky and overall the lure holds up well through the abuse after a long day on the water...Definitely worth the 7 bucks...TN Special works best for me...Even though most of the colors will work at one time or another...!
From: Shark: Where Blue Angels Fly
Comments: I bought two of these at my local tackle store and both of them had a crack in the center of the square bill lip ? Xcalibur does not respond to emails so ye Im pretty bummed about this. Just hope the square bill doesn't break when i throw it in a upcoming smallmouth bass competition
From: Tyrone: South Africa
Comments: Closest thing to the RC series I have found for under 7 bucks. These dudes work.
From: Little Rock, AR
Comments: These little cranks are clutch. The colors and finish of these lures are primo. A little bit more than the KVD cranks but take the price of hooks you have to replace and your running about even. I own both KVD and XCalibur cranks, both GREAT cranks, I just prefer XCalibur. Dont hesitate to try both! Tight lines!
From: Matt: IA
Comments: I have three of these crankbaits, and I think they swim just as well as any Lucky Craft BDS-3 or BDS-4 that I've fished. These baits swim great and come through cover very well. The price of these baits is much more affordable than the Jackall and Luck Crafts. I had a little trouble throwing the smaller models with baitcasting equipment, so I put a strip of lead tape on the belly near the tail hook to solve the problem.
From: John: Lexington, KY
Comments: these are some of the best square bills available. perfect for fishing docks and lay downs because they run right in the strike zone. highly recommended.
From: Kurt: NJ
Comments: These are one of the best squarebill cranks I have used! Though it would be nice if they were offered in both silent and rattle versions, they are still excellent. The textures and paint rival those made by some of the more expensive 'craft'ers.
From: Bill: Flatwoods, KY
Comments: My new favorite shallow water crankbait! Only seven bucks and you don't need to replace the stock hooks. Great weight, action, and colors. Don't hesitate to pick up a few.
From: Mark: Spokane, WA
Comments: These are great crankbaits I fish brackish water and have caught lots of bass and redfish on this bait and even with the beating from the reds it still runs true
From: Jeff: Beaumont, TX
Comments: Awesome crankbait. Made just as well as $15 versions. Caught several on the foxy shad size 100. Great out of the box hooks too.
From: Paul: Chesapeake, MD
Comments: I agree with the Salaunch special this bait is amazing I got 27 of them there awesome.
From: Kyle: Milford, IN
Comments: These baits are amazing. I throw these cranks in tournaments with confidence. It is my go to bait. I like to call it the Salaunch special
From: Damon: Milford, IN
Comments: The Quality of these baits for the price are second to none. The Xcs100 Foxy Lady simply puts fish in the boat. It wont catch you huge fish but if you wanting to put a 5 solid keepers,12-14lbs in the boat in a short time this is your bait.
From: Chattanooga, TN
Comments: Not to bad of a lure could be better. after you put hooks on it that will not get caught on the bill when casting every cast makes it good but not great. KVD squares are better for the money.
From: Joe
Comments: Wonderful little flatbill Cranks. They simply cannot be beatin without having to go pay fifteen plus dollars for a Lucky Craft.
From: Knoxville, TN

America's Quirky Vacation Rentals, According to TripAdvisor Editors:
All Aboard: 1926 C&O Caboose, Natural Bridge, Virginia
Guests at this offbeat vacation rental property built out of a train caboose don't need to worry about schedules or timetables during their trip. Instead, travelers can enjoy the home's many creature comforts and the natural beauty of Virginia's Shenandoah Valley. As one TripAdvisor traveler put it, "The owners have thought of everything you could need to stay in such a cute, cozy property!"
Basking in the Branches: Exotic Treehouse at Kilauea Volcano, Volcano, Hawaii
While this vacation rental may stir up fond memories from childhood, the Exotic Treehouse at Kilauea Volcano is a fantastic choice for a romantic escape, nestled in the canopy level of a forest just minutes from the gate to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. As one TripAdvisor traveler raved, "This is the classiest treehouse I have ever seen, not to mention romantic!"
At Home in the Dome: My Sedona Place, Sedona, Arizona
For travelers looking for their own "dome on the range," My Sedona Place is a dome-shaped property that offers all the comforts of home, including a full kitchen, three bedrooms, an outdoor patio and a big-screen high definition TV. It also boasts stunning views of the famous Sedona red rocks. As one TripAdvisor traveler wrote, "My Sedona Place looked very interesting when I saw it online, but I was blown away when we checked in. It is a beautiful house with plenty of space."
Win, Lose, or Drawbridge: Castle in Hawaii, Pahoa, Hawaii
Situated just a short walk from some of Hawaii's finest black sand beaches, Castle in Hawaii offers travelers many kingly amenities, including a working drawbridge that runs across its "moat" swimming pool and a soothing hot tub with views of the ocean. As one TripAdvisor traveler noted, "You can really feel the love and care that went into building this unique space. It is so welcoming and tranquil."
House in the Harbor: The White Elephant Floating Inn, Boston, Massachusetts
Located near the USS Constitution in Boston Harbor, The White Elephant Floating Inn offers guests a whole different view of the city. With hardwood floors, beautifully furnished rooms and enough room to sleep ten, travelers may forget they're on the water in this vacation rental. As one TripAdvisor traveler said, "It is roomy and comfortable and within walking distance of many attractions, eateries and public transportation to the rest of the city."
Vibrant Vacation Home: Apple Treehouse, Bozeman, Montana
While its multi-colored exterior and unconventional architecture may be a bit on the quirky side, this green-built eco-home includes a wealth of comfortable amenities including its two master bedrooms, vast open living area, big-screen high-definition TV and two full bathrooms. As one TripAdvisor traveler noted, "This is the second time we have stayed at the Treehouse but it surely won't be the last!"
Bountiful Barn: Barn on the Pond, Saugerties, New York
Located in the picturesque Hudson Valley of New York, the bright red Barn on the Pond may look like its namesake, but is filled with modern luxuries and amenities. The property also sits on four acres of land, complete with a pond, wildflower meadow and fire pit. As one TripAdvisor traveler said, it's "A unique and beautiful place to get away from the city."
The Little Vacation Home That Could: Little Red Caboose, Oakhurst, California
Train-loving travelers will love this property located just twenty minutes away from Yosemite National Park in California. While guests may come for its quirky exterior, this little caboose packs appealing amenities including Jacuzzi tub, barbecue grill, hardwood floors and a kitchenette with granite countertops. As one TripAdvisor traveler raved, "The Caboose is a must stay for anyone looking to stay in the Old West yet live with modern living accommodations."
Bobbing on the Boat: Pegasus Houseboat, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Floating by the docks in the heart of Old Philadelphia, this houseboat rental is located within walking distance of top attractions including Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell Center. The property also includes luxurious amenities, including granite countertops, a rooftop deck and a high-definition flat screen TV. As one TripAdvisor traveler said, it's "Such a fantastic place to stay, there is no place in Philadelphia I would rather be!"
A Royal Retreat: McKenzie Castle, Murphy, North Carolina
For travelers longing to live like royalty, McKenzie Castle offers a majestic escape. This vacation rental features all of the comforts of home, in addition to an outdoor hot tub atop the castle turret, lush gardens and a private koi and gold fish pond. As one TripAdvisor traveler gushed, "The fact that you have the whole castle to yourself just astounded me!"
"Our list of quirky American vacation rentals shows there truly is a property out there for every traveler's interests," said Hank Hudepohl, director of vacation rentals at TripAdvisor. "While staying at a castle or caboose may be a novelty, these properties also boast fantastic amenities and terrific reviews from travelers on TripAdvisor."

Eminem, Rihanna join forces for "Monster" arena shows
Eminem and Rihanna will take their collaborative nature to the tour trail this summer with a handful of stadium shows they've dubbed the "Monster" tour.
The two platinum-selling superstars will perform three sets of two-night stands together, beginning in Pasadena, CA (8/7-8/8), and moving on to East Rutherford, NJ (8/16-8/17), before wrapping up in Detroit, MI (8/22-8/23).
The outing marks the first time these two have performed live together, though they've worked together in the studio on more than one occasion. Their 2010 single "Love the Way You Lie" ended up on Eminem's seventh studio album, "Recovery," and received several awards, including the Billboard Music Award for Top Rap Song.
Most recently, Eminem and Rihanna released "The Monster." The single, which holds a spot on Eminem's recently released "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," landed at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 and has sold more than 3 million copies to-date.

The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a protocol for synchronizing the clocks of computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency data networks.
NTP provides Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). No information about time zones or daylight saving time is transmitted; this information is outside its scope and must be obtained separately. In isolated LANs, NTP could in principle be used to distribute a different time scale (e.g. local zone time), but this is uncommon
ntpdate is a computer program used to synchronize and set computers' date and time by polling the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server(s).
The accuracy and reliability of ntpdate depends on the number of servers, the number of polls each time it is run and the interval between runs.

Hi Jerome,
I added custom service that refer to functions from my service and set it with authorize users and token.
Deleting the plugin didn't delete the custom service data.
Data from the following tables are still exist:
- external_services
- external_services_functions
- external_services_users
- external_tokens
However, viewing the functions for the custom service from the site page, display no function message.
I'm sending this issue back to development. I think custom services should also be deleted if the plugin service is removed from the site.
I don't know what's wrong, it worked for me. Looking more...
Functions are removed from all custom services. In my opinion these custom services should not be deleted as they could contain available functions.
Did you delete the plugin by the administration?
Thank you Jerome from explaining. I agree with you, custom service shouldn't be deleted, just the local plugin function should be deleted.
I re-tested this again, delete the plugin through admin and noticed that local_wstemplate_hello_world function still exist in external_services_functions table. It doesn't show on the page, just in DB.
let me know if you can't reproduce this.
Thanks Rosie, good catch. Tested on 2.1, 2.2 and 2.3 it works fine.
to integrators: this has to work even without the php files of the plugin that defined the service, if not reject it
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Hi Jerome,
Code looks fine, just noting Petr's comments I don't think the check for the file's existence is required.
Certainly those queries could be run for all components regardless of the existence of a services file, the advantage of which would be that it would clean up anything that was created through other code, or was left over after previous operations.
I'll leave this in review in progress to give you a chance to do this.
Hi Sam,
thanks for reviewing. Moodle upgrade system cleans up everything, I don't think we need to try to clean other components when uninstalling one plugin. However it seems to me that there is another issue. When the file service.php file exists, and one of its services has been removed, then we forgot to delete the tokens related to the removed service.
// now deal with services
$dbservices = $DB->get_records('external_services', array('component'=>$component));
foreach ($dbservices as $dbservice) {
if (empty($services[$dbservice->name])) {
$DB->delete_records('external_services_functions', array('externalserviceid'=>$dbservice->id));
$DB->delete_records('external_services_users', array('externalserviceid'=>$dbservice->id));
$DB->delete_records('external_services', array('id'=>$dbservice->id));
should add:
You can return the issue to me, I'll fix that too. Cheers.
Hi Jerome,
Thanks for cleaning up the tokens!
However I've been having a chat with Eloy this morning about check for services.php and we both agree that the check shouldn't be there.
The queries should be executed regardless of the existence of a services.php file.
This ensure that when a component is removed any orphan service related records will be cleaned up if for some reason the user has ended up with some.
Executing the queries when there is no servcies.php or services + friends in the DB should be fine.
Sending this back so that it can be changed/discussed further.
Hi guys,
are you saying that we should support the case when the moodle admin deletes manually the services.php file then (s)he presses uninstall? It seems to me it's improbable, and more over on upgrade Moodle would clean the result of this bad admin behavior. That seems adding unnecessary complexity.
Let me know if you agree, otherwise I'll do more change to please you
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
to integrators: it is a standard procedure to cleanup up as much as necessary when deleting plugin that is gone - such as after upgrade to higher version when plugin was not updated to be compatible and borks any upgrade attempt, otherwise you would not be able to nuke unmaintained 1.9.x contrib from upgraded site. The rules are simple: Moodle must work without source files of any previously installed non-core plugin, it should be possible to upgrade the plugin later when the source code is updated. Deleting removes as much as possible, no exceptions for any subsystems - calling cleanup callbacks first, then purging as much as possible making sure nothing was accidentally left.
Hi Jerome,
Petr summed it up pretty well in his comment there.
While it may be unlikely that someone will wind up with services for a plugin without having services.php file it is still a possibility.
I certainly think it is worth removing the if (https://github.com/mouneyrac/moodle/compare/master...MDL-27547#L0R274) to help us minimise future problems, and help us ensure a smooth installation/upgrade process for the future.
Essentially by executing the deletion process regardless of the presence of that file we are cleaning up any widowed information as well.
Otherwise spot on.
I think I misunderstood what you meant. You wanted to clean the web services from the removed plugin not from every other plugins. I changed:
//delete the web service functions and pre-built services
$servicesfile = $plugindirectory . '/db/services.php';
if (file_exists($servicesfile)) {
//delete the web service functions and pre-built services
the uninstall process is now cleaner.
The main moodle.git repository has just been updated with latest weekly modifications. You may wish to rebase your PULL branches to simplify history and avoid any possible merge conflicts. This would also make integrator's life easier next week.
TIA and ciao
Bonza mate!
Your changes have made it into the Moodle release! Its time to celebrate! Put a shrimp on the barbie and grab a stubby.

A Humble Offering
(photo: Nancy Rosenbaum)
Last week, I traveled with Krista, Trent, and Mitch for a production trip to the Black Hills in South Dakota. We've been planning a program about the spiritual legacy of Sitting Bull for years. Finally the pieces of this production puzzle have started to come together.
After landing in Rapid City, we drove through the snowy Black Hills until we arrived at the cozy home of Sitting Bull's great-grandson, Ernie LaPointe. As we prepared for this trip, several people (including Ernie's wife Sonja) advised us to bring him a gift of tobacco. Some of you responded to an earlier blog post, including David Born who once served as chair of the Department of American Indian Studies at the University of Minnesota.
He suggested where to buy the traditional pipe tobacco, or kinnikinnick, and recommended that we wrap it in a red (a sacred color for the Lakota) cotton cloth. What mattered most, he advised, is that Krista should present the tobacco with humbleness, humility, and respect. Here are some notes from our conversation:
"You can let him know that you understand it's traditional when seeking the advice/wisdom of an elder to present a gift. You want to acknowledge that the information he'll be sharing is important and sacred and you want to honor that. You can acknowledge your own ignorance about his customs and let him know that you're not trying to be Native, stereotype Natives, or romanticize them. The gift of the tobacco is a way of both making a request and expressing appreciation — not just of Ernie but of the Lakota nation. What matters most is that the tobacco is given with "a good heart."
A quiet hush descended over Ernie's living room when Krista formally presented a pouch of tobacco wrapped in red cloth. She spoke quietly and with grace. As I reflect back on this moment, it seems like this singular exchange set the tone for the two-hour interview that unfolded between them — one of respect and intimacy.

The web accounted for 13.5% of total sales in the quarter
Jon Love
Gadget and home décor retailer Brookstone Inc. added a marketplace to its e-commerce site in 2011, allowing outside merchants to sell on Brookstone.com. The added inventory those retailers offer contributed in a big way to a 33% increase in online sales in the third quarter, the company says.
For the quarter ended Oct. 1, Brookstone, No. 180 in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide, reported:
"This [increase] was primarily due to increases in revenue resulting from our 'marketplace initiative', under which we have significantly increased the selection of quality third-party products on our web site," said Stephen Bebis, president and chief executive officer.
Brookstone's marketplace, introduced last year, increased the number of products offered on Brookstone.com from 5,300 SKUs at the beginning of 2011 to nearly 50,000 at the end of the year, the company said in its 2011 annual report. Sales of those new products accounted for 16% of 2011 e-commerce sales.
For the first three quarters of 2012, Brookstone reported:

Classy White Shoe
"If you're looking for a nice, white shoe, these are great. The eyelet lace is cute and classy. I ususally wear a 7.5 or 8 and ordered an 8 in these. Size-wise they fit great, but I had a problem with them being extremely narrow. I don't normally wear wide width but I have to return these becuase they squished my toes so badly. I'm considering ordering the wide width but have to decide if I really "need" white shoes. :)"

Beauty and the Beast: Limited quantity of 900. "Of all the Disney love stories, perhaps Beauty and the Beast is the most poignant. Beast's true identity is a charming prince who is discovering love in the form of the beautiful Belle. In my painting I memorialize that magic moment when they first begin to discover their love for each other. Many of the characters from the movie are present. In the distance, we see the village that is a central setting for many of the film's most important moments. As with every piece, I attempted to portray a panorama of the entire movie, rather than an individual scene. My desire is that the viewer's eye would wander around the painting making discoveries in every corner of the image. Beauty and the Beast Falling in Love represents, in my mind, my highest accomplishment so far in the Disney Dreams Collection. The crowning achievement and the central discovery in the image is the sweeping sense of romance that is at the core of this fairy tale. Here truly is unconditional love in its purest form. I hope you sense that love every time you look upon Beauty and the Beast Falling in Love." - Thomas Kinkade
The Lion King: Limited quantity of 700. "As I painted my homage to this amazing story, I could not help but be moved by the intricate interplay between all of the magnificent creatures under Simba's domain. I imagined a lush, colorful, and bountiful African plain rightfully reestablished to its splendor after Simba vanquished Scar and his comedic, yet treacherous, hyenas each now forlorn in their punishment. The multitudes of animals have been summoned to pay tribute to Simba's new baby and their future regent as they wait under a spectacular sky illuminated in great anticipation. The world is as it should be...in harmony and perfectly balanced. Simba's heir is exalted by Rafiki and proudly symbolizes what awaits when destiny is embraced, challenges faced, and one summons the courage to stand in the spotlight of providence. I trust that this image will remind and move you to face the future irrespective of history's impasses knowing that the watchful and approving eye of the King is content as you embrace your place in the circle of life." - Thomas Kinkade
Pinocchio: Limited quantity of 500. "For my painting Pinocchio Wishes Upon A Star we see Pinocchio upon a hillside overlooking the setting of his adventures. We see Honest John and Geppetto's workshop where Pinocchio was formed. On the right we see Pleasure Island and Monstro the whale preparing to engulf Geppetto's sailing vessel. Butterflies and sparkles lend magical accents as the Blue Fairy and Jiminy Cricket look on." - Thomas Kinkade
Peter Pan and Tinker Bell: Limited quantity of 700. "As with the first two paintings in my 12 piece Disney Dreams Collection, I try to tell the whole story in a single image - what I refer to as a "narrative panorama". We see Neverland in the distance, just below the "second star to the right", as the full moon bathes the scene with its silvery glow. The lights of London twinkle along the river Thames, as the clouds take shape, if only in our imagination, as characters from the adventure - Captain Hook, Smee, the Lost Boys and the ubiquitous ticking crocodile. But for me, the central character of the story will always remain Tinker Bell, the enchanted fairy princess who makes the entire journey of imagination possible. "- Thomas Kinkade

Day 1 (Friday, July 23)
After just returning home from my sailing trip in the evening the previous day, I woke up early to get to the plane to Dublin.
After landing in Dublin I took the bus to Belfast, where I arrived around 14:30 at my hostel Belfast International Youth Hostel. I went to sleep for a few hours. Then I went for a tour around Belfast and had a pizza in a nice restaurant.
In the evening I met with Albrecht, Håkon, Karl Isak, the groomsmen and some of Albrecht's friends for beers at Crown Bar, a very famous bar in Belfast.
We only stayed there until 23:00 and we went to our hostels.
Day 2 (Saturday, July 24)
I woke up early and had a Belfast Traditional Breakfast (Ulster Fry) and then got ready for the wedding.
I met with the wedding guests in the center and a bus picked us up and drove us to Portadown. Here there was the wedding ceremony, followed by the German tradition of sawing the log.
Albrecht and Rachel left in a Trabant, and all guests were driven by bus to Brownlow House in Lurgan for the wedding reception and dinner party.
After a photo session and speeches, we sat down and ate good food.
Albrecht and Rachel cut the wedding cake.
After that we danced some Celtic dances and traditional disco dances.
The bus took the guests back to Belfast at 01:00, and I went straight to sleep.
Day 3 (Sunday, July 25)
I woke up early and got a Mega Belfast Breakfast at Causeway Cafe, which the menu says that after this Mega Belfast Breakfast "trust us, you won't need to eat for the rest of the day". But I was feeling hungry around lunchtime.
I got on the bus which started around 09:45 on the McComb's Causeway Coast bus tour.
We stopped at Carrickfergus Castle, Ballycastle, Carrick-a-rede Ropebridge, Day 3 – Old Bushmills Distilery 01, Dunluce Castle and Giant's Causeway.
The tour was great and we had a very funny guide who was making jokes all the time.
We returned to Belfast around 19:00. I met with Håkon, Karl Isak and some of Albrecht's friends and we went to Crown Bar, then to Laverys Bar for more beers and to play pool.
I went to sleep earlier, while the others continued to play pool.
Day 4 (Monday, July 26)
I woke up early again and went to eat an English breakfast at a supermarket. Then I met Håkon and Karl Isak at the bus station. Together we took the bus to Dublin airport and then the plane to Oslo.

Old Testament Reading
Document Actions
Zechariah 8:7-17
"Thus says the Lord of hosts: Behold, I will save my people from the east country and from the west country; and I will bring them to dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they shall be my people and I will be their God, in faithfulness and in righteousness."
Thus says the Lord of hosts: "Let your hands be strong, you who in these days have been hearing these words from the mouth of the prophets, since the day that the foundation of the house of the Lord of hosts was laid, that the temple might be built. For before those days there was no wage for man or any wage for beast, neither was there any safety from the foe for him who went out or came in; for I set every man against his fellow. But now I will not deal with the remnant of this people as in the former days, says the Lord of hosts. For there shall be a sowing of peace; the vine shall yield its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things. And as you have been a byword of cursing among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so will I save you and you shall be a blessing. Fear not, but let your hands be strong."
For thus says the Lord of hosts: "As I purposed to do evil to you, when your fathers provoked me to wrath, and I did not relent, says the Lord of hosts, so again have I purposed in these days to do good to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah; fear not. These are the things that you shall do: Speak the truth to one another, render in your gates judgments that are true and make for peace, do not devise evil in your hearts against one another, and love no false oath, for all these things I hate, says the Lord."

Who knew that a trip to our local Pick 'n Save this afternoon would have such a similar effect? I guess we can save some cash and just hope that famous frankfurter makes more stops in our area!
I s'pose it's only natural. After all, doesn't this guy do a similarly-themed dance?

We have just gone through the worst Mass Voter Fraud in U.S. History, during the November 4, 2008, U.S. President Election.
We have to work through all this, with LEGAL methods, to demonstrate the U.S. Constitution still does matter, and we can make LEGAL protests against the Large FRAUD which has taken place, while building our careers.

I find it amazing 3.73 Trillion. Can anyone even grasp the concept of how much money that is. Works out to around 11 thousand dollars for every person in the USA.
Si vis pacem, para bellum

Yea, 3.73 trillion dollars is a big number, but I still find it harder to grasp the number of our debt. This video should provide a small and better look. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-w-8fXzwQE
Obama new plan seriously doubt it'll happen you know how many of his plans didn't happen yet. New World Trade Center was said to begin reconstruction like 2 years ago. Nothing changed except for subway station.
Like it fucking matters overall, the US will just keep doing the same shit. Eventually everyone will just be 1 nation, Earth. The ultimate goal. Subtly bullying other countries forcing their ideals into them.
@ Gulley We been in debt since like the first world war haven't we? Really don't think it matters at this point.

^ lol @ The Chinese President bit, wouldn't be surprised though if that happen. As for president wise, man who ever gets voted up there in my opinion doesn't really matter the tea party will just take over every time. Bush a republican fucked up, Obama is now up there a democrat and is not going so well, now all the seats went nearly all republican few months ago right? Next election the retarded public will vote republican and the cycle will continue. I don't know much about politics I just say what I see from time to time that's simple and stupid. I just blame the Tea Party officials that control the Treasury that supports BOTH the Democrats and Republican parties along with nearly everything else in the US government along with the UN.

By PHIL FAUVERGuest Writer
The Emery County Historical Society recently presented the Mysteries of the Mountain Meadows Massacre at the Museum of the San Rafael. Dottie Grimes, the president of the Emery County Historical Society opened the meeting with a Pledge of Allegiance and a prayer. Followed by Evelyn Huntsman singing the old song "Freckles Gets The Blame", this music was found in the Emery County Archives.
Dottie Grimes then introduced Edward Geary from Huntington who has done extensive research about the Mountain Meadows Massacre. Geary wrote the book A History of Emery County in 1996.
Geary said, "Evelyn Huntsman's song is the cheerful part of this evening and what I have to say is not very cheerful. On Sept. 7, 1857, more than 100 men, women and children were murdered in Mountain Meadows in Southwestern Utah. No other atrocity of comparable scale occurred in the entire history of the 19th century westward migration. This was an event of great magnitude and historical significance.
"Brigham Young was once quoted as saying that 'the Mountain Meadows Massacre set the LDS church back 20 years.' However, more than 150 years later, you can go out into the United States and find people who will know two things about Utah and Mormons, polygamy, and the Mountain Meadows Massacre. So it is a persistent story.
"I have never done any original research on the subject of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I have read a lot of the things that have been written. I am sure that many of you here have read many of the books written about the Mountain Meadows Massacre.
"First the story of the Mountain Meadows Massacre and how it has evolved over the years. Second, to go through the sequence of events from the best available current knowledge. There are still some things that aren't too clear. Some of those things will never be clear. And third, the mysteries that were advertised to get you here tonight. The historical society has discovered that if they advertise a mystery or a secret of some kind people will come to learn about the secret or mystery.
"The mystery consists of the unanswered questions and some of those will be addressed tonight.
"As soon as the massacre was over, people were at work trying to create or put the story into a form that would be most palatable or most unpalatable. We would say in today's language to spin the story.
"Within about a week of the massacre, John D. Lee started out from Cedar City or from Harmony for Salt Lake to attend General conference and while there he made a report to Brigham Young and other church leaders. He reported that the massacre had been committed by the Indians and the white settlers had been unable to prevent the killing of the people.
"So the first story was that the Indians did it. This story met with skepticism from the very beginning for a variety of reasons. One of the reasons was that it didn't fit the usual pattern of an Indian massacre in that the youngest children were not killed. That was not what Indians usually did when they went to massacre someone. They would massacre everyone including young children. Soon this story became inadequate and clearly false.
"Then after that John D. Lee was clearly implicated, he was charged and tried twice. The first trial ended in a hung jury, and in a second trial, they convicted him.
"Then the story became the Indians and John D. Lee were responsible for the massacre. That was the prevailing story for a long time and in a lot of places. My mother remembers growing up in Castle Dale and being taught in history classes, that was the version that was being taught. The Indian massacre with John D. Lee involved.
"John D. Lee while in prison, wrote a memoir published after his death, called Mormonism unveiled, in which he presented his version, making it clear that there were a lot of people involved besides him. In fact, in reading his story you would hardly know that he was involved at all, but that there were plenty of other people involved. The story then became John D. Lee, the Indians and a few other people were involved.
"By 1892 a number of the participants had died or became too old to be able to tell the story.
"The leaders of the LDS church sent Andrew Jensen, who worked in the historical department to go to southern Utah and try to get first-person accounts of the massacre. So they sent with him a letter signed by the first presidency, saying that the church needed to know the truth about these things and assured them of confidentiality that Jensen and the church would provide. The information given would not be revealed in their lifetime. He gathered some documentary accounts which have frequently been collected and published , such as this book, published by the University press, and Brigham Young University press.
"What towns were involved? Primarily, Cedar City, but also some other communities in southern Utah. When Andrew Jensen went to interview people who were at that time living in Beaver, Parowan, Cedar City and some other places, it was a devastating experience. He very conscientiously copied down what people said to him, and made his report. When he got back, the world looked bleak to him for a long time. Emotionally, it was a very difficult thing for him to deal with as he realized just how widespread or how much an entire community was involved in these events.
"In about 1917 a young woman at that time, named Juanita Leavitt, later became Juanita Brooks, was teaching school in Mesquite Nev. One day, an elderly man by the name of Nephi Johnson asked her to write his story. He is a distant cousin of mine and many other people in Emery County. Nephi approached Juanita and said, my eyes have seen things that my tongue has never spoken. He asked her to come and write down the story he wanted to tell her. She agreed to do it, but she was teaching school. She was busy and didn't get to it until the end of the school term. When she went out to his farm she found him near the point of death. He was delirious and unable to tell a coherent story while she was there. He paused for a moment, stared at the ceiling and said blood, blood, blood, blood.
"Later she was expressing to a friend how sorry she was that she had not fulfilled her promise to write down his story. The friend said, 'Oh, he probably wanted to tell you about Mountain Meadows. He was there. You know.'
"This planted a seed in her heart and mind that led her, many years later, to do the first serious scholarly research. Mountain Meadows Massacre, there are now hundreds of books, volumes and stories written on it one way or another. But the first serious scholarly work was Juanita Brooks, Mountain Meadows Massacre published in 1950.
"During the depression years in the 1930s, one of the government relief programs, was a program that gave opportunities for people in communities to get a little money for writing local histories and collecting documents and putting them on file. Juanita Brooks got involved in collecting histories in St. George, where she lived.
"Juanita discovered that there was a lot more documentary information available than she had at first thought and she began seriously to collect data and to work with it and out of that came her book. She didn't have all the documentary information that is available now and yet she did a remarkable job. Essentially, she got it right. Her basic interpretation has, I think, not been improved upon to any great degree. This continues to be the book by which all others are measured and judged. She paid a personal price for following through on this project. Leaders of the LDS church at that period did not want to see these old things stirred up again. They advised her not to research and not to publish her research. She politely persisted and published her research. Mrs Brooks was in some ways ostracized from her community. Before that time she had been a Ward and Stake Relief Society President. She was actively involved in both church and civic affairs. From the time the book was published, she was not excommunicated from the LDS church, as some reports have it, but she never again had a calling in the church. This was a painful thing for her.
"On the basis of this first work the historians began to pull out other pieces of additional information. Since 1950, there have been a lot of important works, but the last 10 or 12 years saw two major studies. One of those in 2002. Will Bagley an independent historian and columnist at the time for the Salt Lake Tribune published Brigham Young and the Massacre at Mountain Meadows. This is an exhaustively researched book, but is also one of the most biased books I think that you could ever read. It is a book with a thesis. Bagley's thesis is that the 19th century Mormons were blood thirsty zealots. Driven by the determination to avenge the murder of Joseph and Hyrum Smith at Carthage Jail and the mobbing's of the Latter-day Saints in the various places where they lived. And that zeal came right from the top on down to the entire community and that the immigrants that were killed at Mountain Meadows were doomed from the moment they entered Utah. They were going to be the example. Everything was a massive conspiracy that culminated in the massacre.
"Bagley's facts are aptly researched, but it is a wonderful case of loading your interpretation of facts completely one-way. There is no sense of well here's something that could be looked at one way or it could be looked at this way or that way. It has to be looked at only this way. In the process of demonizing Mormons he gives a free pass to everyone else. The emigrants were faultless. The Indians were certainly exploited and manipulated by the Mormons. The government officials were just honest decent people trying to do their work. Only the Mormons had the underlying intentions. Well, this book received a lot of attention when it was published by Brown Williams University press.
"The leaders of the LDS church realized that they can't just say, let's not stir things up. Things are stirred up. They approached three historical scholars all of whom did or had worked for the church, Donald Walker, Richard Turley and Glenn Weber. Men whom they felt they could trust to be fair and simply said, we will open our resources to you. You can have access to anything that church has in its archives. Even the first presidency files, which were historically very difficult to get at. These historians were told her to look honestly at the records and determine the conclusion, as they saw it.
"The result of that was this book the Massacre at Mountain Meadows published in 2008. I am briefly mentioned in the, book because I was asked to read the manuscript and make suggestions. I do not deserve any credit, because the suggestions I made they did not take. It is a very fine book and if you want a reasonably bound book, and a moderately written study, this is one that I would recommend. To me it was personally disappointing because with the resources they had, they could have done a definitive study, and they chose to fall short of that. Published at the University press saying that you can't really sell a history book more than 400 pages to a popular audience, so hold it to that number of pages. To do the job that should've been done, they would have to go considerably longer, or a greater number of pages. A lot of other things have been done, but that's kind of the story of the story," said Geary.
At this point, Geary handed to the audience two sheets of paper. The first outlining the Mountain Meadows Massacre time line of key events and the second sheet was a list of the main participants. The year of 1857, became one of the most active years for westward immigration. Probably the most active year since the gold rush of 1849 and 1850. Thousands of people in that season made the journey west to California. By this time most of the Oregon immigration had gone through. So this was a busy time on the plains.
It was also the year the federal government and President Buchanan influenced by reports of some federal officials who had been sent to Utah and then had left reporting that the Mormons were in rebellion. President Buchanan mobilized a large military force to send to Utah to install a new government to succeed Brigham Young. The force made up of about 2,500 men. That may not seem like a large force in military terms of our time, but at that time it represented more than one fourth of the entire standing army of the United States with state-of-the-art equipment on their way to Utah to set things straight.

Antonio Tony' Jose Velasquez
Former Ignacio resident Antonio Jose Velasquez died Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2012, in Syracuse, Utah, where he lived, of a disease that was never fully diagnosed, his family said. He was 60.
Mr. Velasquez was born to Dan and Della Vasquez on Sept. 7, 1952, in Ignacio. He was known as Antonio to his family, Tony to his friends and T.J. by his loved ones.
Growing up in Ignacio, Mr. Velasquez developed a love of the outdoors at an early age. He spent many hours in the forests surrounding La Plata County, his family said. He enjoyed outings with his family that always were surrounded by his beloved mountains.
Mr. Velasquez left home and joined the U.S. Navy, where he spent a dedicated 20-year career as a ship fitter by trade and a hull technician by heart. He spent his career working as a welder on the Navys nuclear power plants and submarines. At his retirement, he held the rank of hull maintenance technician chief petty officer.
The second chapter of Mr. Velasquezs life began when he found his beloved soulmate, Robin, who was also in the Navy at the time, his family said. They married in 1992. During their travels together, Mr. Velasquez discovered more lifelong friends while tackling journeys side-by-side.
Mrs. Velasquez was reassigned to Hill Air Force Base in Ogden, Utah. Mr. Velasquez, already out of the Navy, worked as a civilian aircraft mechanic and teacher at Hill until he was stricken with the undiagnosed disease.
After Mrs. Velasquez retired from the Navy, the couple decided to remain in Utah, and Mr. Velasquez became an active grandfather and companion.
Mr. Velasquez was preceded in death by an infant grandson, Tony Ray Hartey Jr.
He is survived by his wife of 20 years, Robin Ann Velasquez of Syracuse, Utah; daughters, Daniella Hamby, Maria DuVall, Kat Sparrow and Heather Newman; brothers Arnold Velasquez, Mike Velasquez, Joe Velasquez and Jim Velasquez; sisters Cecilia Robbins and Vida Brown; and eight grandchildren.
A rosary will be recited at 7 p.m. today, Dec. 18, 2012, at St. Ignatius Catholic Church, 15449 Colorado Highway 172 in Ignacio. A funeral will take place at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 19, 2012, also at St. Ignatius. The Rev. Douglas Hunt will officiate. Burial will occur at Ignacio West Cemetery.
Donations can be made to Disabled American Veterans.

LIVETARGET Bluegill Wakebait
Bluegills are very common throughout most of the United States, and as most anglers know they can be a popular forage for bass. The Live Target Bluegill Wakebait was designed for targeting the big bass and game fish that feed on bluegill. Extremely detailed and lifelike with its realistic gill plates, scales and fin patterns, the Live Target Bluegill Wakebait also features a durable, single-jointed construction. Available in a couple of proven colors, the water displacement created by the Koppers Live Target Bluegill Wakebait's wide swimming action produces a moderate surface commotion proven to generate explosive strikes.

Customer Reviews
Comments: This bait has a great action, and will flare out erratically side to side with short twitches of the rod, this triggers a lot of strikes. On a slow, steady retrieve, it will wake on the surface. A bit faster retrieve takes it down about 6" to a foot. A lethal lure.
From: Tyler: Grand Junction, CO 7/4/16
Comments: This lure works great! I fished for 3 hours and caught over 30 bass. One of them was over 6 pounds. This lure can be fished on the surface or like a square bill. Obviously it's very realistic with some amazing hooks.
From: Spence: VA 5/25/16
Comments: Great wakebait with a nice swimming motion. There's just the right amount of back and forth swimming with minimal roll. I was actually pretty impressed with the fact you can control the depth simply by lifting or lowering the rod tip no matter how far out the bait is. This is not the case with most wakebaits so good on Livetarget for coming through in that regard. Great finish and hooks that you wont need to change the second you open the package.
From: Hydrilla Gorilla: Lake Seminole, GA 1/26/15
Comments: Adding on to my previous comment about the eye falling off, I contacted LiveTarget and after sending them a photo of the bait missing the eye, they sent me a new bait! Great customer service!
From: Dan: Valrico, FL, USA
Comments: Just to update my previous review, I contacted LIVETARGET and told them about the eye falling off, they sent me a new bait. Great customer service!
From: Dan: Valrico, FL, USA
Comments: I use this early morning in summer and it gets nailed by both bass and gar. Have caught bass using as wake bait and cranking it in faster where it will swim ~1 foot under the surface I have a couple of the LiveTarget Bluegill crank baits that I tie on later in day that also get hit more than other crank baits. Only problem with this one is one of the eyes fell off after the first day of using it (still gets nailed with one eye).
From: Dan: Valrico, FL, USA
Comments: Caught one first time I used it when other crankbaits weren't getting hit. Sadly, one of the eyes fell off after about 2 hours of use.
From: Dan: Valrico, FL
Comments: Best lure I own. First cast realed it about 4 ft wack caught a 7lb slaunch. WILL BUY MORE!!!
From: Tyler: Mt. Juliet, TN
Comments: I bought this bait back in the winter and hid it away in my box until the other morning, July 21, I cast the bait and just as I started to reel it in, bam, a 6 pound largemouth loaded upon it. This is the first time that I have caught a fish of that size on my first cast with a new bait. I fished for another 2 hours until it got to hot to fish. I caught 4 more good bass between 2 and 3 pounds. The bait has a great wake action and the beauty of the bait is awesome. They look so real that live bluegill come up and check it out. I went ahead and ordered me 2 more of these guys for next year after the spawn, because I know the bass will eat them when they think they are about to raid their nest.
From: William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments: It's July 20, 2011 it's hot and the humity is unbearable but I love to fish. I received my Koppers Bluegill wakebait and had to try it, on my second cast landed a 3lb bass the lure works just as advertised can't wait for this heat to pass in MD so I can get out and really catch the big ones with this lure.
From: Melvin: Waldorf, Maryland
Comments: Tied this on for the first time last weekend - the action was GREAT !!! I did not boat any fish on it.... SOON though !!
From: Pete
Comments: I can't wait to get it in the water. I just received my koppers bluegill wakebait and I am amazed at the lifelike appearance that is built into these baits. The quality is amazing and the detail that is put into the construction will really blow your mind. I always try my baits out in my swimming pool and I could not believe the action that this bait has. I will follow up on how well it catches fish as soon as the weather warms up enough in Tn. Ordering new baits in the winter causes that fishing urge to really take over.
From: William: Hohenwald, TN
Comments: this lure is amazing, i was givin to me by my nephew and i have caught so many fish on it, of witch include a 5 1/2 pounder and a 8 pounder, i love it and will never go fishing without it.
From: Bill: Florida, USA

The only part of your theory that's even plausible is the part stating that MS can be awakened without killing your closest friend. That has already been proven in the manga with the info that both Madara and his brother awakened MS. Everything else is pure speculation not supported by facts.
EMS is obtained by stealing your brothers eyes. Both Itachi and Madara have confirmed that. Once Madara went blind there was nothing that he could do to regain his sight, so his brother offered up his eyes. That's also when a new and final secret of the MS is unlocked, and we have to assume that it's the immortality at this point. Nothing else about Madara's unique MS has been revealed.
After Sasuke and Madara talk, Madara asks Sasuke what he will do with Itachi's eyes, "will you transplant them?" And Sasuke said no. So no EMS/Immortality for Sasuke.
I don't think Shisui learned anything about Itachi's mission. I in fact believe that Itachi's mission was to kill Shisui to gain the MS. Itachi told the police force that he missed the "meeting" because he had a mission. And I believe that mission was to kill Shisui and gain the MS. Having it would make it that much easier for his other mission of annihilating the Uchiha clan. After he told them he had a mission, they told him that the only other person missing from the meeting was Shisui.
Madara and his brother were not competing for control of the clan, they were competing with each other and through that fierce competition, were able to unlock the MS. As a result they took control of the clan and Madara was made the leader.
I'm sure that Gai sensei has never opened his gates while fighting Kakashi. That's highly unlikely. Gai was never trying to KILL Kakashi, simply spar with him.
Sasuke unlocked his MS by witnessing the death of the person closest to him, Itachi with whom he shared a bond even stronger that the bond he shared with Naruto. This bond of hatred was so deep that Itachi was the closest person to him.

Canada's Van Huizen and Binstock on golden sands
SEVEN MILES BEACH, Grand Cayman – Canadians Richard Van Huizen and Josh Binstock, both of Toronto, defeated Puerto Ricans Roberto Rodriguez and Christopher Underwood 21-19, 21-14 to win the men's gold medal at the season opening event on the NORCECA (North and Central America and Carribean) beach volleyball circuit.
It was a gutty performance by Van Huizen who battled cramps in both legs all day and had to play two three-setters before arriving into the final match of the competition.
"I struggled in the first set but then I felt 100 percent in the second set," Van Huizen said. "I controlled what I could control and managed myself physically. I have had to deal with these issues before and as soon as I arrived today I knew it was going to be a tough day for me with the hot weather.''
Earlier on Sunday, Van Huizen and Binstock came from behind to edge Jon Mesko and Paul Baxter of the U.S., 19-21, 21-16, 16-14 and then erased a one-set deficit to prevail against Mexicans Ulises Ontiveros and Lombardo Ontiveros 19-21, 21-17, 15-8.
Rodriguez and Underwood defeated countrymen Orlando Irizarry and Amaury Velasco 21-18, 21-14 and followed that with a 21-17, 19-21, 15-13 win over Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., and Chaim Schalk of red Deer, Alta., in the semifinal.
In the bronze medal match, the Ontiveros brothers defeated Reader and Schalk 21-16, 15-21, 15-12.
In women's competition, Heather Bansley and Elizabeth Maloney of Toronto defeated Yarleen Santiago and Dariam Acevedo of Puerto Rico 21-18, 21-14 for the bronze.
