The North Emery High class reunion 2005 was held on July 2 at the Huntington Elementary. Graduating classes from the school from 1932 through 1962 came together to celebrate themselves and their school. The attendees gathered for punch and cookies at a meet and greet to welcome everyone back. The reunion met on the lawn of the old school for a dedication of a recently completed monument honoring North Emery High. The alumni from the school didn't want the school to become a forgotten piece of history so the monument was erected using some of the original brick from the school. Bob Allen was the contractor on the project and the reunion committee was well pleased with the monument.
North Emery High came into existence when Cleveland, Elmo, Lawrence and Huntington students joined together to attend school. Larry Leonard spoke at the dedication and Mar Grange, class of 1945, dedicated the monument. Grange said, "To dedicate is to set apart. This was an outstanding school which exemplified outstanding quality. I am glad to be one of you. The learning and valued friends, I will treasure forever. Everytime you look at this monument, you will know it represents something special. The monument will become a focus for our memories."
Grange read the words of the school song, "North Emery High School students are we, seeking knowledge ever we'll be. Our lives to improve we shall try, dear North Emery High, high school, our dear North Emery High School, high school, the school we love so well, ever we will submit to your rule, ever of you our praises tell, sacred the memories we shall cherish, old friends and teachers all so true, Our colors red and white shine through the night, our dear old high school for you."
"The mission and purpose of our school was to come to learn to become the men and women of stature and ability we have become to lead and support communities. We dedicate this monument to all that we remember as great and good about North Emery. The old North Emery building has steel rods to keep it from falling apart. Some day this building will go the same way as all of us. The monument will be something to represent this edifice. As we remember the dances and ball games and our great heritage, let's keep this site clean and well cared for. Teach your grandchildren and children to respect their progenitors," said Grange.
Grange recalled the days in the early settlement of Huntington, when one of the first buildings the pioneers constructed was a meeting house where school could be held. The settlers went up Huntington Canyon to gather the materials for the building which later burned down. That canyon has been known to this day as Meeting House Canyon. Grange said the North Emery High building is one of the few large buildings left in the county constructed by the pioneers.
After the monument ribbon cutting was complete the reunion goers returned to classrooms where they met with friends from their graduating classes. A program was held in the gymnasium. Darrel Leamaster opened the program with a prayer and a flag ceremony was presented by the American Legion, Post 73. A moment of silence was observed for departed school mates. Former school cheerleaders led the group in the school song. Teachers from North Emery High were honored with a gift. There were former teachers present, some of which were Bob Swinburne, Grace Johansen, and Bryce Wilson.
Attendees age 89 and over were honored. The Huntington Glee Club presented musical numbers with many club members also being North Emery graduates. Vee Guymon and Lori McElprang sang musical selections which included a trip down Memory Lane.
Former teacher at the school Grace Johansen, spoke to the classmates. "My husband and I were talking one time and we came to the conclusion if we were still teaching school today, we would be in jail," said Johansen. She said when she first applied for a job at the school, Stella Hill said that since she lived in Castle Dale, that was too far away to teach in Huntington. But she got the job anyway. When Mrs. Hill was upset she would pound her heels and Mrs. Johansen said she gave Mrs. Hill plenty of opportunities to pound her heels that first year she taught at North Emery High. Mrs. Hill said that teachers at North Emery wore high heels, but Mrs. Johansen disagreed saying she was a physical education teacher and they definitely did not wear high heels.
Mrs. Jo recalled a trip to Blanding where they were caught in a snow storm. She said she had to work with many coaches over the years and coaches were certainly a different breed. She only liked the coaches that didn't steal her gym balls. She said one of the thrills in the old days, was for boys to crawl under the floors to get to where they could peer into the girls dressing room. Nowdays she said kids just have to turn on the TV and they will see more than those boys ever did crawling under the floor. One day four boys remained under the floor when it was time to lock up the building and they were locked into the building for the night. Mrs. Jo received a phone call at 2 a.m. with the information that four boys were locked in the school and needed to get out. Mr. Jo got dressed and drove back to the school to let out the culprits.
Mrs. Jo reminisced about a trip to Bull Holler when a bad rain storm was coming in and they needed to gather the students and be on their way. But, they couldn't find four of the boys and when they finally found them, the rain storm was pretty intense. They tied the four boys who had delayed the departure to the back of the truck where they were left trailing behind the truck in the mud and muck trying to stay upright. This is one of the incidents Mrs. Jo said would land her in jail if anything like that happened in this day and age. She couldn't remember who the boys were, but thinks maybe one of them was a Ward boy.
"One scary thought I had as I was preparing to speak to you today is that no one here would be under 60 years old. As I look back one thing you students always did was listen, because if you even looked the slightest bit drowsy, I would throw an eraser at you. One day I went into the type room and Julie was there and she was almost crying. She said she had a beautiful dress and the prom was the next day and she didn't have a date. Mike had never had a date in his life, but I told him there was a girl who needed a date to the prom. He said he was not gonna take a girl to the prom. He had never had less than an A on his report card and his mother would have killed him for anything less, so I told him if he didn't take this girl to the prom he could expect a C or D on his next report card. I've always looked at that marriage with fright, I didn't expect them to get married, but they sent me a card the other day announcing their 40th wedding anniversary and wondered if I remembered the part I played in it, boy did I ever. I interfered in some places I shouldn't have. If I was still teaching today, I know that I would give 100 percent, just like I did back then.
"My one son is a juvenile justice judge and he tells me what sad children and parents he sees. We need to grab our children and grandchildren and give them the things that we have had. There are things you can do as grandparents, get busy," advised Mrs. Jo.
The audience honored Mrs. Jo with a standing ovation. A musical number was presented by Frieda Fillmore, Chad Thorderson and Laurelle Hughes. An accordion solo was played by Judy Potter. Van Gardner, Lamond Gardner and Sharon Gardner presented musical numbers. Geraldine Walters gave a reading. Earl Gundersen presented two musical numbers.
Dan Wagoner, reunion chairman served as the master of ceremonies for the program and festivities. He introduced Hazel McMullin to pick a winner in the quilt raffle. McMullin told a little of the history of the quilt. Julie Jones was the quilt winner.
The reunion goers were served dinner by BKs Stop n Shop and many attended the ice cream social in the park.

Great ColorI have used the Fake Bake powder in the past and it really adds nice color. The bronzing glow works as a great foundation and gives a nice warm color on these drab winter days.Nov 6, 2006Ann Funk / Springfield, OH

Good ProductIt really is a good product and in response to the person below i suggest only wearing it on your legs if they are going to be uncovered for ex: a skirt because it will get on your clothes like most self tnaners do. It gives you a naturaly bronze color with a hint of shimmer. Looks fabulous on the face but dont put too much it wil clog pores.Oct 15, 2005Mary / Ny, Ny

Rubbed Off Onto EverythingUnfortunately I was very disappointed with this product. I used it on my legs and the color was GORGEOUS! So I was really disappointed when it rubbed off onto everything I came in contact with - my clothes, the car seat when I sat down, everything! Then of course it looked streaky and terrible. I contacted the company that makes it and it was suggested I use less of the product and that warming it up in my hands first should help it absorb better. I have fairly dry skin on my legs, so I hoped this would work, but it didnt. No matter how little I used, it still rubbed onto everything.Hopefully other people have a better experience with this. The color really is pretty. Its this beautiful natural bronze with a touch of gold shimmer that is so lovely. I wish I had better luck, I have really pale skin and have been searching for a body bronzer so I wouldnt have to commit to a self tanner. I guess Ill keep searching.Sep 20, 2005D / Florida

Greenfield - The New Berlin Eisenhower girls knew they had the pieces to be a good basketball team but were just not sure how to put those pieces together to make a pretty picture.
On Friday night, they found out just how well everything can fit together, as they sprinted past Whitnall, 70-28, at Whitnall High School.
The Lions stormed ahead, forcing 10 turnovers in the first three minutes of the game. The Lion defense helped fuel senior Jenny Weiland, as the speedy forward scored 12 of her 16 points in the first quarter.
When the Falcons looked up, they were facing a soaring deficit of 16 points and had no answers.
'We played about a complete a first quarter as you can play,' Eisenhower head coach Gary Schmidt said. 'If we missed, we got the rebound. Our defense created some offense and we really ran our offense well.'
As good as the Lions' offense was, their defense was just too much to handle. The way Schmidt saw it, they were absolutely relentless.
The Falcons managed just six shot attempts from the floor in the second quarter and made just one of them. Elizabeth Menden and Emily Yahnke both added a free throw as the Falcons finished with just four points in the period.
'We are not in this position very often at Whitnall,' Falcons head coach Keith Larson said. 'You have to give them a ton of credit. They really are a great team on both offense and defense. They got anything they wanted tonight.'
The lone bright spot for the Falcons (8-5, 5-4 Woodland East) was senior Jackie Gruszka, who scored 12 points. The forward did all she could do to keep the game close in the first quarter as she hit a pair of 3-point field goals.
'We just have to try and learn from this game,' Larson said. 'It is tough but you have to move on and get better day after day.'
Eisenhower (11-1, 8-1 Woodland West) continues to get big nights from Weiland and Sammy Kozlowski (14 points), but it was senior Katie Lang that did all the little things that go unnoticed. She finished with eight points while patrolling the paint, forcing Whitnall to try and score from a distance.
'Whitnall changed up their defenses a few times so we had to really focus on communication,' Lang said. 'We really take pride on our defense every day. We are starting to play well as a team.'
Added Schmidt: 'I think the best Eisenhower basketball is yet to come; that's our goal.'
The Lions next visit Shorewood at 7:30 p.m. Friday, then host Cudahy at 7:30 Jan. 22. Whitnall welcomes Pewaukee at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Wauwatosa West at 7:30 Jan. 22.

Thanks Ray! I'd appreciate it if people could take a peek and make comments. Is this the direction todays members would like it to go? Email me if you want. Remember all sponsorship $ (including memberships) are plowed right back into the field in 2001 - we will take no profits. Everything will be spent in the name of overhead or pure fun or invested to make 2002 even better. We will have no earnings if folks don't get out and ask businesses for a little support which in turn we will return in larger numbers. Please pound the pavement a little for the cause.
I will be sending email listings and a form letter to anyone who volunteers to do virtual envelope licking... emailing to folks who might see a mutual benefit in working with us.
Any volunteers?

Best present you got this Christmas or any Christmas
Fifty pounds of unbleached organic bread flour.ReplyCancel
@Barton – holy smokes! That's a lot! How do you store it?
My favs are my fleece hooded onesie (much to my BF's dismay), and new camera. I am beyond spoiled, and the parties responsible for the camera did not follow my specific instructions not to go over $100. Though I think the best part was having my BF's parents here and starting a new tradition!ReplyCancel
1997 BMW 528i when I was 19.
But this year it was a ornament my two year old made me
Congrats.Me and.Jeneral 🙂ReplyCancel
My favorite this year is a toss up between an immersion blender and a standup wine opener that my parents actually regifted to me (they don't have counter space for it and never took it out of the packaging–I've wanted it for years).
My best present ever was maybe my Barbie Townhouse. It was made of cardboard because my parents couldn't afford the Barbie Dream House. Despite shoddy materials, I made that thing last five or six years.ReplyCancel
@Barton, Fink baking much??
@FSP, lol
@Jeneral, congrats, that's awesome!!!
@Me, congrats to you too!!
@Amber, whats an onesie? I thought it was baby clothes =((
I have an awesome bf that spoils me too much. After giving me a bunch of needed clothes this year he even gave me a pair of shoes that I wanted sooo badly, so nice!ReplyCancel
The funniest gift I ever got was a DVD from my ex. We watched it with my entire family on Christmas Day, right after lunch. A guy I had previously dated had a tiny role in it, and my ex was FURIOUS! My whole family got to witness just how unstable my ex was. He later dumped me for someone else.ReplyCancel
Past: plane ticket to London
Present: the future Mr. Kay found an out-of-print CD that I had designed for a band about ten years ago. The record label and I didn't get along, and they never gave me a copy! I didn't want to buy one (I didn't even get paid for this because it was my then-husband's band), so I let it go. Lo and behold, in my stocking yesterday, what did I find? A perfect, shrink-wrapped copy for my portfolio!
I love the future Mr. Kay. He also got me the HUGE bottle of Creme de Corps. I'll be the softest girl in the land!ReplyCancel
Jeneral- congrats!!
My best gift- my parents bought me a giant ass flat screen TV DVD player combo. I've had a giant box tv from the 80s for a long time. It was unexpected but needed.
My favorite gift- the picture frame my nephew made me in art class!ReplyCancel
@Amber, oh, I see, Lol!! I've always wanted one of those but one that has the socks attached, you know what I mean? I'm sure it has a name… lolReplyCancel
Best ever "thing": My Star Wars lightsaber in 1977. You could change the colored disc insert to make it red or blue. Simpler times. Simpler times
Best ever surprise: My golden retriever Charlie in 2005
Best feeling: My 3 year old "got" the whole Santa thing this year. I will never forget how excited she was running into our bedroom to tell us that Santa had left presents under the treeReplyCancel
Macbook Pro, yo!!!! My first Mac! Woot!ReplyCancel
In the past my best present was my Vizsla puppy and as a child this giant white angora rabbit. She was so huggable and soft. My Dad set her cage in front of me with a blanket over it and when he took the blanket off I was so surprised and instantly in love with her. 🙂 Ahhh sweet memories…ReplyCancel
My late mother always splurged on luxury items every Christmas. Elizabeth Arden make-up kits, perfumes, luxurious sweaters. My immediate family is all deceased, my current family does not celebrate Christmas, but I will treasure those memories forever.ReplyCancel
Worst, then Best Christmas ever: 1992, 3 days before Christmas, my then two year old (Johnny) had a bad reaction to a DPT vaccination. He started seizing, vomited, aspirated, and then stopped breathing. I recessitated him, and when the ambulance came, the parametics began to work in him (his heart was arrythymic). Johnny came to consciousness in the ambulance, and was later released from the hospital.ReplyCancel
@Sher: The Short One ADORES him. They were so cute on Christmas. TSO woke up Saturday morning with the stomach flu, and it went away Sunday. So guess who came down with it Xmas Eve? Yay, me! I opened presents with them and went right back to bed. I woke up many times hearing them laugh while they were playing Pokemon together. Can't wait till we're married and together all the time 🙂
Merry Christmas, btw, I was too sick to read/comment over the past two days. Tell the Opster that the Axe Murderer says "hi!".ReplyCancel
I got a hot pink snuggie with owls on it. Awesome. I also got skate/sneaker shoes. You know the ones the kids wear with the wheel in the heel? Well, I can't ride them for shit. It's a lot harder than it looks, people! Plus, I'm 40and they might not work right on a 40 year old grown ass woman.
Amber, I would have loved a onesie too. Maybe next year.
FSP you might need to ask for a razor for your cat tail, if you know what I mean.
Congrats to you, Jeneral!ReplyCancel
Best Christmas present I ever got was in 1989. My mom got me this Esprit sweater I wanted so badly … and then in the pocket of the sweater were tickets to the sold-out New Kids on the Block concert. I still smile whenever I think of how blown away I was.ReplyCancel
Best wishes to both of you!ReplyCancel
Yay Jeneral! That truly is the best present! When I was a kid, my Barbie dream camper, especially because I knew my parents couldn't afford it, so it really helped me believe in Santa. As a grown up, I have been very blessed, but the best ever was a cashmere blanket. I use it every single day, take it when I travel and will have it forever. It makes me feel fancy.ReplyCancel
That's lovely. 🙂ReplyCancel
Congratulations on your pregnancy and best wishes!ReplyCancel
I had the Barbie Townhouse too! My parents couldn't afford the Dreamhouse either. I loved that townhouse and had so much fun playing with it! I used to stage murder-mystery stories involving "accidents" with the elevator.ReplyCancel
@Amber, I used to bake in a restaurant and I still make bread 2 to 3 times a week. I have a huge bin under my kitchen table. It's shameful, I know, but I love the smell of bread and I usually make a few loaves and give one away from each batch. I love baking bread.ReplyCancel
As a kid, getting a bike was my favorite gift.
As an adult, my dyson was my favorite gift which is lame, but I love it and use it ALL the time!
This year, I splurged on a pair of frye boots for myself. 🙂ReplyCancel
@amber-the Engineer 8R dark brown. I bought them from macy's online and used a 20% off coupon-couldn't pass it up! 🙂 I'm very fond of the Campus too….and the Harness.
@Barton, I wish we were neighbors! YUM to all that bread!ReplyCancel

Congratulations and well wishes to the Mommy's-to-be!
Best present ever: jewelry -nothing spectacular- received from Mom on Xmas '84. She died 6 months later. That jewelry was stolen in 2001 in an apartment invasion.
Best present this year: a fleece Onesie from my bestie. I love love love it!! So do my kitties. My Meniere's is in full-gear this month so I'm gonna live in it.
Worst present this year: boyfriend swore up and down the cookie bars he brought home from brother's house had no peanuts. 🙁 Had a few scary moments this morning but situation was resolved…obviously since I'm able to post again.ReplyCancel
Hmm, best present was probably my iPad from my father in law last year.
Even better present was coming home Christmas night to find out our dog had her puppies 11 of them :).ReplyCancel

Those who read about my mom being in the hospital with liver failure on here a few weeks back didn't learn that she passed away on the 8th, so Christmas pretty much sucked this year.
However, my youngest niece who is 3 has been saying for over six months she wanted the Fisher Price Imaginext Batcave (she's a girlie girl but loves super heroes). Anyone who asked her what she wanted for Christmas was told the same thing "a Batcave".
Four months ago I bought it for her and had it put up. I told her six year old sister and we came up with a plan.
Christmas Eve they are here and we open every present under the tree and no batcave. She's not upset but you can tell she was wanti9ng something else. The oldest says she has to go to the bathroom and comes back in the den and says "Uncle Chris, what's that present in your room?" (She knew, she was just playing her part) So I tell them I'm getting forgetful in my old age and ask them to bring it in the den.
They bring it in and the youngest thinks it's something for my Dad. I tell her, "No, Myzie. That's for you". She rips into the paper and screams out "THE BATCAVE!!!!!!" Then goes and gives everyone a hug and a kiss while singng "I got my Batcave". Her Dad (my brother) and our Dad says "No, that's from Uncle Chris". Then she runs to me and kisses me for what felt like forever.
If you've ever seen the "N64 Kid" video it was just like that.
But since Mom passed so recently, that moment of my nieces pure joy made us all happy for the rest of the day. I'm sure Mom would've liked that.ReplyCancel
Thank you, AmberReplyCancel
My Fiancé bought me tickets to see Les Miserables (play) this year. I'd been saying how badly i wanted to go, but he hates musical theatre so i thought there was no way in hell. I opened up my present and it was the book, and on the inside cover he wrote for me to open it to our anniversary date, and there was the tickets! im so excited!!ReplyCancel
@Lee Tanner, I *loved* the elevator. I didn't do murder mysteries (jealous), but I based my Barbies off of my favorite book characters from The Baby-Sitters Club and then kept very detailed family trees denoting their lineage as I got tired with one generation and moved on to the next.
I think this is why I love Sims 2 so much–it's a virtual dollhouse.ReplyCancel
@RowdyRodimus, I'm so sorry for your loss, I can only imagine how difficult that must've been. I'm glad at least all the family that I joyful moment with the kids 🙂
I agree with Karen, maybe one day she'll share somewhere how awesome was to get her batcave :)))
@Rowdy…I'm so very sorry for your loss. That's a wonderful story about your niece and the bat-cave! I adore my nieces and had the pleasure of talking to my great-niece a little while ago: she is 6 and is my littlest booger!ReplyCancel
@Jeneral, what a wonderful Christmas present… @Me and @Chilie sorry you are having bad anniversary memories. @Chilie Been there, done that – nothing more rotten than workplace bullies, especially in a high stress place like a restaurant. I had a bad one at a mapping company I worked at – usually they are just jealous of something (they think that you) have.
@Rowdy So very sorry to hear of your loss. I've lost both and it is hard. Even when it is expected after long-term illnesses it's hard, bc it's as if you have lost them already several times.
It sounds like your next generation is full of love, though and are helping mend your heart. Children help remind us of the things that matter, because they give so much more than they take, don't they?
The best toy I ever got was a Hot Wheels set when I was a little girl maybe 8 or 10. It had a powerhouse that the cars would go through. I didn't think I would get it bc it was a boys' toy, but my parents must have talked about it and given in.ReplyCancel
Best thing I ever got was a stuffed animal when I was 6. He's teddy bear-shaped, but doesn't have ears so I'm not sure what animal he's supposed to be, and he has long yellow fur. To this day, he's still my best friend!
Speaking of best friends… Christmas is a pretty terrible time of year for me. The past several years I've spent them literally alone; my family aren't nearby and everyone else always has plans. I'll sometimes get the pity "hey, when I'm done with the presents and the awesome meal and all the Christmas fun, we can go get a coffee around midnight."
I know it's not about that stuff, it's just the sitting home by myself and seeing all my friends online talking about their fun… it's painful.ReplyCancel
I'm still here! Gosh, that totally sucks that your friends aren't extending an invitation. My sister in law always invites friends who don't have local family to our gatherings.
When my family moved and I wasn't seeing anyone, we would do a girlfriends Thanksgiving the day before. Could you put together a fun "friends" Christmasy get- together the day before or day of? I bet you would have a blast (and no family drama to deal with!)
Regardless, a warm Christmas hug from San Diego to you 🙂ReplyCancel
The best gift I ever received was the day after Christmas, 2009. Husband and I were across the country, visiting my parents in Philadelphia for the holiday, and since Husband (Boyfriend at the time) had never been there before, we planned a sightseeing/date night in the city the day after Christmas. It ended with us going to my favorite restaurant, a little hole-in-the-wall, family-run Italian place where the food is amazing and the wait staff sings old Sinatra and opera songs while the grandma plays the piano. Very romantic and intimate place. At the end of the meal, after the other patrons had left, Husband pulls out my gift: he had made a little scrapbook of our time together. The last page was a written "declaration", in the style of the Declaration of Independence (complete with his signature on the bottom), asking me to marry him. I am obsessed with American History, so it just showed how well he knew me, plus the thought and effort he put into the whole thing really blew me away.
@Chilie and @Rowdy, what great stories! Thanks for sharing!
Congratulations to @Jeneral and @Patricia!
@Zeek, maybe we CDaNers can be your surrogate family?ReplyCancel
The best gift I got this year wss the ability to buy some real gifts for everyone (like warm winter coats for my nieces and nephews). It has been a few years since we've had enough spending money to do this, but my husband is doing well in his job and has continued his pledge to not drink.
This is also the first year in a few that he hasn't been ashamed to accompany me to the family gatherings. Things aren't perfect, but they are much, much better than they have been in a long time.
Ok, so I am very stoked I checked back in on this thread…. Chili and Rowdy, brave ad cool for sharing such a part of your lives, thank you.
Patricia (my fave cousins name, so I will remember you!) congrats, girl.
Kelly Lynn and aren't, sounds like this is just the beginning of what will be a better future for you both!
Zeke, it feels pretty good to be a part of this little virtual family. Know I am thinking of you tonight, Merry Chrstmas and happy new year to you.

@Jeneral & Patricia – Congrats!
@Rowdy – I'm so sorry for your loss. 🙁
@Dagny – Awesome proposal story!
I have been really spoiled this Christmas, but my favorite gift so far are some photocopies of pictures and important documents of my grandparents that my sister made. And a gift card to Uncommon Goods from my husband.ReplyCancel

With PacketShaper shaping enabled, web pages are rendered slowly with missing graphics.
This may be due to improperly configured rate policies with guarantees that are set too high. Unlike with partition guarantees, rate policy guarantees are not shareable. Also, partitions work on aggregate traffic while policies work per-flow. For example, if one assigns a 1M guarantee within a rate policy and a particular flow only utilizes 50% of 1M, PacketShaper will allocate the full 1M to the flow while it is active. No other flows will be allowed to utilize the unused portion of the 1M guarantee.
As another example, consider a 10M partition on a folder which contains classes with 1M guarantees.
Viewing a single page may download multiple elements such as graphics, ads, HTML, etc. With ten flows, ten 1M rate guarantees are allocated, saturating the parent partition in /Inbound/Admin. Although the actual utilization may be much less than 10M (this will be shown on the Monitor page), additional flows will be denied bandwidth allocation. If a flow that is denied has a rate policy guarantee, this results in a "guaranteed rate failure". The FTP class in this example will also get no bandwidth since falls within the same partition and it does not have a rate guarantee of it's own. This does not apply to the 5M rate limit in this example. This works solely to limit a single flow to 5M and since this is not a guarantee, allocations in excess of the guarantee up to the 5M limit will not result in guaranteed rate failures.
It is recommended that a rate policy guarantee only be assigned to less aggressive, latency-sensitive such as Citrix or VoIP. For bursty traffic such as HTTP, the rate guarantee is best left blank, or zero. If the intent is to distribute bandwidth equitably per-user, rather than per-flow, dynamic subpartitions should be considered.

Very Classy Looking Shoe!

Gosen OG Sheep Micro 16 660' String Reel
Comments: I string for other people and this is my standard synthetic gut offering. The playability is pretty good
for its price, goes very well as a cross for a poly hybrid, and it's one of the most durable basic synthetic guts out there. Absolutely
great value for money.
Comments: This string has good playability and feel. Great value. Gosen is one of the leading manufacturers and
suppliers of tennis string, including some of the racquet manufacturers that rebrand it as their own.
Comments: I like this string, it is not as durable as some of the people are claiming, it won't actually out last your
poly crosses (at least in my experience). Just make sure you don't get it in black because it will mark your balls. I don't actually
care about my balls being marked, but other people do, so as a courtsey you shouldn't get black.
Comments: Wow! I have read most of the comments posted for this string and would have to agree with all of the
positives. I'm a racquetball stringer by trade and let me tell you that this string is very durable and has virtually eliminated all of
my string breaker players problems. And the price factor and this string is a winner. Job well done.
Comments: I agree with Brian Wise. I have been using the same set up in my Head Prestige Mid at 45lbs. I
remember that the suggested tension for this string is between 45-55 lbs. If you string it beyond 52 it feels like a board. The new
trend among pros now is natural gut in the mains and poly in the crosses, so this is a cheaper alternative with very nice
Comments: Super comfortable and moderately powerful. It isn't much for creating a lot of spin, but a lot of people
would like this when you weigh the price against the performance.
Comments: Better than all other synthetics in this category and more durable than most. This string is consistent in
playability and price. I'd put this up against Babolat, Wilson Extreme, Prince and the rest of the lot. You just can't beat this.
Comments: I had posted previously about using OG Sheep Micro 16 as a cross string, which works well. Recently, I
tried it as a main at 56lbs, with Tourna Big Hitter Blue Rough 17 in the crosses at 53lbs (K six one tour 90). It's even better as a
main, supported by a poly cross. Excellent feel. Excellent pop. Outstanding spin. Great control. What a value (for both strings,
especially since I have them on reels). Also, there is very little string movement with this set up, which is great with my open
string pattern (16 X 19).
Comments: This is a great value string. My friend recommended to me and told me it is the best synthetic gut out
there and the feel is as close to real "Gut" for fraction of the price. I used it and love how soft and great feel I was getting from it.
Put the Sheep OG 16L on the Cross, and MSV Hex 17L Poly for Main and you a great combo of soft feel, spin, and power. Love this
and will stick with this string for many years to come.
Comments: Personally, it's the best synthetic string. I've tried every brand of synthetics out there, this is the most
well balanced in feel, spin & control. I am using the clear one in my Babolat aero pro, Yonex rds 001, Head microgel radical pro,
and the 16L gauge version on my head prestige mp (fxp & youtek). If you don't like this string especially the negative comments
below.. send it to me.
Comments: This is TERRIBLE string. I didn't get any spin off of this and also no feel. String felt dead the first time I
played with it. I HATE THIS STUFF.
Comments: Great cross string for a hybrid set up. I have used it with Luxilon BB ALU Rough 16L (1.25mm), Gosen
Polyon SP 17 (1.25mm), Tourna Big Hitter Blue Rough 17 (1.25mm), and several other poly strings. In each case I kept my main
tension at 2 to 3 pounds less than my cross, which gave me excellent spin, ball pocketing, and feel. I have used all the above
poly's in full bed set up's, which I like as well, but you get more feel with a Micro Sheep hybrid, IMO. Tension holds better in any
string job when you double pull tension, especially the last several cross strings. You will lose tension if you or your stringer is
not doing this. I don't have tension loss issues as the poster NS from San Jose has. Gosen OG sheep micro is certainly the best
value available for a syn gut out there. It's a quality string, too. Highly recommended. 4.5 player, Wilson K six one tour 90 @53-
55 mains, 55-58 crosses
Comments: I've been stringing my Volkl DNX 9s with this for about a year. Stringing my own racquets with being
so cheap a string job saves a lot of money over getting someone else to do it at a much higher cost, plus string. It seems like a
pretty decent string, but I honestly haven't tried others in a while so I can't really compare.
Comments: I use this string in the crosses with Wilson enduro mono is the mains. the string feels great in a hybrid
with a poly, is softens the string bed, adds touch, power, it's durable and is easy on the arm. This also a an awesome value for the
money. awesome string.
Comments: Based on the feedback here and the low price, I gave this a try. The pros: Easy to string and cheap.
Cons: Doesn't hold tension well and string feels dead after 2-3 plays. I'm a "feel" player and like a crisp string that gives me lots of
feedback, none of which I get from this string. As such, other than the low price, I can't recommend this string. If you really want
to try it, just get a single pack to see if you like it and not the reel. Now I have to finish the reel before moving on the next string.
Comments: The Best Synthetic String I ever used. Loads of everything there is on a synthetic gut, Period!
Comments: I found the string to be consistent with other synthetics in feel. It doesn't hold its tension well, initially.
I have to add five to seven extra pounds to play at the tension I want. After that, it seems fine until it breaks. I play with an 18x20
string pattern racquet and the string breaks about the time I would want to replace it anyway.
Comments: I commented on this string a few years back and had rave reviews... just don't make the mistake of
buying a reel of "white" string. It peels like crazy after a few minutes of hitting. I will be trying to get tenniswarehouse to take this
Comments: I have been using this string for about a year now and just bought my first reel of it Gosen OG Micro 16
660' Reel White. Initial impression has been a real disappointment. I am seeing an issue whereby the white paint coat is peeling
almost immediately within the first few minutes of hitting. Now I must have strung at least 30 racquets with the individual
packages of the same exact string and I never seen this issue. I will give Gosen the benefit of the doubt and say that I may
received a really old or defective reel. Visual appeal aside, I am more concerned on how this affects performance and the string's
durability. I will be returning the reel to TW and either find a comparable reel of synthetic gut or go back to buying it in individual
Comments: This string is great! I have only strung my racquet once with this string and it is yet to break. The great
thing about it too, is that it is not dead either. I can hit every shot well with this string, and they are long-lasting and cheap!
Comments: I use this string for racquetball. The og 16 has great pop and a good feel. Durability is not bad
considering that I am a hard hitter and for the price you can't beat it. Go Gosen!
Comments: Great string! Amazing value, great playability. It is a relatively stiff synthetic, but plays very
comfortably when pre-stretched. I use it as the cross strings with Babolat Tour Duralast 1.25 as the mains strung as low as 59 up
to 63 depending on conditions. The Babolat gives amazing spin, while the Gosen provides great touch and comfort.
Comments: This string is pretty good. For a synthetic gut, it's really stiff, so it makes a good main. I blend it with
the Ashaway Liberty 16g on the crosses, and I couldn't be happier. Good string.
Comments: This is not a bad synthetic gut. I don't really mind that it's not as good quality as the Prince Duraflex
because synthetic gut tends to snap within about 4 days of hard play for me. And because there's 660 feet of it, it's a great deal if
you're just stringing full synthetic! For hybrid, however, I would recommend a string that gives a bit more feel. Love the price.
Comments: I've used this stuff in 16g for years in my own frames, but mainly in the frames of my customers
(mostly player on the HS team I coach). It's very durable and holds tension well. It does not offer a particularly soft feel however
so I still prefer Ektelon Powerplay or Tecnifibre e-matrix though they are more expensive.
Comments: A great all around string. I hit with heavy topspin, so the string doesn't last forever. But so what? It
costs almost nothing to string my racquet, how can I complain. Here I am again, spending loads of money to try out other strings,
just for the heck of it, but I always have a least one stick strung with the Gosen. I tend to string it tight, around 60lbs, by the way.
Comments: Most people here have been complaining about the durability of the string, well this string is not a
string that should be used on full racquets it breaks to often. I use it as a cross and couldn't be happier, I use it with Tecnifibre
Poly spin and the combination is great, this string softens up the string bed like you would not believe and at the price it's a must
buy, I recommend this string
Comments: I like the way this string plays- good pop, good feel; however it is not a very durable string- it does
break fairly quick.
Comments: I used this string as a trial from a friend and loved the power, control, and feel of it. The string delivers
plenty of power but doesn't last as long as I hoped. But that changed since I have used the Gosen polylon on the crosses. Now I
have incredible control and enough power to make volleyer's scared to be at the net.
Comments: This is great all around cheap string that I use when I string up for friends. But I really don't like the
durability. I've got casual summer time players who only string once a year snapping them early. Not much else out there for so
cheap so I think I will stick with it.
Comments: Still my best seller and have started to blend it with some multifilament strings in crosses. Those
customers are very satisfied because they say they get extra life out of their strings but have not given up the playability.
Comments: Bought 200m in reel. Unbelievable value for the money. Used it as
poly hybrid with Kirschbaum SuperSmashSpiky. It does add more overall feel and playability
without sacrificing too much durability.
Comments: Have used this string for many of my customers this last year. Have
been very satisfied with its performance.
Comments: Well done Gosen! I've played tennis seriously for years and this is
the best string I've found for the price. The playability is very good, and the durability is great.
It lasts me about 8 sets of hard out hitting compared to about 4 sets in similar priced strings
from other companies. I recommend this string to all my friends to use. It is a tremendous
value for the money.
Comments: Great string for the price. I'm a college player who just started to
string last summer. I used to use Gamma 15L Synthetic because it lasted for a long time.
Now that I string my own racket and I've found a string that's playable and cheap, I don't mind
the strings breaking once a week. Good playability, great price, and decent durability.
Comments: Since I was getting low on strings, I thought I would try a reel of the
Gosen (Generic) OG-Sheep Micro 16 that TW has been advertising. Big mistake! I strung it
at the same poundage (52) I always use and on the first outing, it gave the feed back of a
dead set of string. On top of that, my arm started hurting after the second outing. I have
since switched back to my old Wilson Synthetic gut and immediately felt the difference in
liveliness. And more importantly, the arm is feeling better. I wonder if I got an old reel that
has been sitting around for a long time and lost it's playability. How does the saying go "You
get what you pay for".
Comments: The Gosen OG (Generic) Micro 16 is awesome. The price is great.
Customers as well as myself enjoy this string, thanks Gosen.
Comments: I bought the Gosen OG (Generic) Micro 16 660' String Reel after
reading the positive feedback. It has been a real disappointment for me. I usually break a
string every 3 or 4 times I play. This string breaks too quickly for me.
Comments: Gosen OG (Generic) Micro 17 (or 16) is hands-down the best string
deal on the market today. I've tried them all - from premium to bottom of the barrel. I use a
player's racquet so the strings can make an even greater impact on the overall playability of
the racquet. I also string my own racquets and for my money no other string comes close to
this one in delivering the control, feel and power I need while maintaining tension better
most. I've also found it to be a lot more durable than Prince Synthetic 17 with Duraflex even
though it's slightly thinner. Can you buy a more durable string? Yes. Can you buy a more
powerful string? Yes. Can you buy a softer string? Yes. Can you buy a string that creates a
better balance of these qualities? No.
