"I haven't worn heels in a LONG time so I was a bit apprehensive about these shoes considering the height. I have to say that they are VERY comfortable and I don't feel like I'm wearing super high heels when I have them on. The brown color is beautiful and the leather is like butter. The shoe design is simple yet sexy as you get a little toe cleavage. And the price can't be beat!!!"

Ok I thought this thread would be intresting idea because we have all heard of the elite shinobi deep in the fog of Water country hidden in the mist known as the 7 Swordsmen of the Mist.
Looking at the picture above you can make out the already known Swordsmen but what about the other 4 unknown? The point of this thread is to come up ideas for the other 4 in as much detail as you would like.
So 1st lets Review the Basic info on the 3 known Swordsmen :
1) Zabuza Momomchi AKA Demon of the Mist - He was apart of the Hidden Mists ANBU squad. Eventually a failed coup caused him to become a missing nin & while on the run he ran into Haku and eventually leading to what we read in the manga.
Weapon: Head Cleaving Sword - Aside from its large size it doesnt appear to have any special abilites.
Name meaning: Za= again, bu= never, za= kill , Momo= Peach tree, Chi=earth
Stats: Nin 4.5 - Tai 4.5 - Gen 2.5 - Int 3 - Str 4 -Spd 4 - Sta 4 - Sea 4 = 30.5
2) Kisame Hoshigaki AKA Monster of the Mist- A former elite Jounin of the Mist village who was branded a criminal for assasinating local fedual lords. Later he would join Akatsuki and become partnered with Itachi Uchiha.
Weapon: Samehada - Sharkskin styled sword that shreds rather than cuts. It has special chakra absorbing abilites and as well as auto defenses against anyone deemed not worth of weilding it.
Name meaning: Kisame= Ogre/Demon Shark , Hoshigaki = Dried persimmon
Stats: Nin 4.5 - Tai 4.5 - Gen 2.5 - Int 3.5 - Str 5 - Spd 4 - Sta 5 - Sea 3.5 =32.5
3) Raiga Kurosuki AKA Thunder of the mist - a former shinobi from the village of the mist he was assigned to work with hunter nins to track down a person spying on the Mist village. They ended up slaughtering up most of the villagers of an unnamed village and ran into a small boy with special abilites named Ranmaru who he quickly struck up kinship with and fled his post.
Weapon: Twin Swords - These duel weilded blades seem to have an ability to act as a conduit for large amounts of electricty.
Name meaning: Rai = thunder, ga = fang, Kuro = black, suki = eptiness & love
*Stats: Nin 4 - Tai 3.5 - Gen 2.5 - Int 3 - Str 3 - Spd 3.5 - Sta 3.5 - Sea 3.5 = 26.5
(*Because he was not cannon he never had any stats so these are my estimates)
Ok so now we have those out of the way I came up with my own based on my research into mythology and such I tried to create some intresting characters , names & weapons. Yours dont have to be as detailed as mine
4) Baku Shinkirou AKA Terror of the Mist - A Jounin and Captain in the Mist village Interrogation squad. He specializes in Genjutsu and the art of terror. His natural Genjutsu abilites are enchanced with the usage of his fear endusing sword.
One of his most famous tortures is known as Hyakki Yako no jutsu - a genjutsu in which 100 dancing demons take turns stabbing thier enemies
Weapon: Tizona - This special acursed sword has unique abilties. It gives off a massive killing intent enough to ward of weak opponets.
However thats not the true ability its true power comes when it slashes or peirces an enemy. Just one drop of blood and its curse seal takes effect drawing out ones greatest fears and nightmares as phantoms that can not be easily dispelled like genjutsu. Anyone trying to hold the Tizona other than Baku would suffer the same effects as a self defense built into the sword.
Name meaning: - Baku= a supernatural being that devours dreams & nightmares, Shinkirou = mirage
Stats: Nin 3.5 - Tai 4.5 - Gen 5 - Int 4 - Str 3.5 - Spd 3.5 - Sta 3 - Sea 4 = 31
5) Soraki Gaaeshi AKA Siren of the Mist- a Jounin from the Mist known for his artistic style. Using his singing blade Azukiaru the line between art and murder become blurred.
Weapon: Azukiaru - A specialy designed sword when swung creates an eerie sound that resembles singing. The sword also has remarkable defensive ailties allowing the user to magnify sound waves create a wide area shockwave or sound can be soo foucsed it can cut thru solid rock giving it both close & mid range attack/ defense abilties.
Name meaning: - soraki gaeshi = the sound of trees being cut down, when later none seem to have been cut
Stats: Nin 4.5 - Tai 4 - Gen 2.5 - Int 3 - Str 3.5 - Spd 3.5 - Sta 3.5 - Sea 3.5 = 28
6) Hissori Shiroken AKA Silence in the Mist - an elite Jounin with an unusall calm nature unlike many of his fellow swordsmen. His movements are fast and very precise as he hates to waste unnecessary energy and wastefull killing which is part of his philosphy that killing should be a precise science.
Weapon: - Masamune - Of the rare type of chakra bladed swords the Masamune is said to be the most beautifull. The fine crafterd hilt of this sword produces a magnified focused blade of pure white chakra that emits no sound. Allowing the user to swing , slash and stab in total silence.
Name Meaning: - Hissori= silent, Shiro = white, ken = blade
Stats: Nin 4.5 - Tai 4.5 - Gem 3 - Int 4 - Str 3 - Spd 5 - Sta 3.5 - Sea 4 = 31.5
7) Akumakizu Yosamu AKA Slasher of the Mist - a Jounin from the mist who enjoys causing as much suffering as possible in his victims before death. He rarly kills his opponets rather lets them slowly bleed to death. This causes him to clash with his fellow swordsman Hissori Shiroken with thier conflicting philosphies.
Weapon:- Muramasa - This special sword has 2 forms. In its solid form it looks like an unusall sword with many sharp triangular edges aloing it to tear into an opponet like Samehada.
However in its Loose form it becomes a chain whip allowing the user to attack at mid range. Its angle can directly be controlled kind of like Saosri's tail in his 1st puppet. If someone gets caught in this chain they will be wraped in its sharp edged chain linked metal and suffor the tearing as it pulled causing many wounds all over.
Name meaning: Akuma= Evil spirit, kizu = wound or cut, Yosamu = cold nights
Stats: Nin 4 - Tai 4 - Gen 2.5 - Int 3 - Str 4 - Spd 4 - Sta 4 - Sea 3.5 = 29
Ok so thats the basics so please take some time and do some research and come up with your own good ideas.

Skip to comments.Mike Pence to Decide Next Month on President, Governor Bid
Posted on 12/20/2010 6:05:50 PM PST by pissant
Congressman Mike Pence of Indiana excites social and fiscal conservatives alike and will reportedly decide next month whether he will run for president or governor of his home state.
Pence energizes pro-life advocates with his consistent pro-life push including his drumbeat for revoking taxpayer funding for the Planned Parenthood abortion business.
Although members of Congress dont normally rise to national prominence and just one has ever ascended to the presidency, Pence is defying the odds by building a solid national reputation that has him as one of the potential dark horse candidates who could vie for support against the main names currently dominating most of the discussion on the Republican side.
Republican Lt. Gov. Becky Skillman, who is pro-life, announced today that health concerns will keep her from making a bid for the governors position and a source close to Pence told Politico that may be moving the congressman in the direction of mounting a 2012 gubernatorial bid.
(Excerpt) Read more at lifenews.com ...
I hope he runs for governor. If he runs for POTUS now, he's liable to wreck his future chances. He's a good man, but he needs more experience and more exposure.
President. He'll get the exposure, if he runs, and he's been in office for 9 years. That's enough experience. We need him at the national level.
Pense is ok, but my pic for 2012 is Palin.
Pence says he's tired of fighting in the lame duck session and just wants to go home. Adios gelding.
Pence says hes tired of fighting in the lame duck session and just wants to go home. Adios gelding.
What is wrong with Mike?
You said PIC and PIC you shall receive!
Go Mike!
he would do more good for the country and Indiana as Senator Pence. He would beat Lugar like a rented mule.
Agree, Governor. He also needs to learn how to make decisions with insufficient information rather than criticize with 20/20 hindsight.
I hope that's his decision, but why give Lugar notice?
I'm thinking he's either going to run for governor or give the GOP nomination a shot.
Almost no one goes from Congress to President. He needs to run for Governor.
Experience in what? It's all about leadership. Experience is what you hire a staff for.
LOL! That was a great episode. I loved seeing all the doggies.
His plan might be to enter the Republican primaries to gain national exposure for another run four or eight years later. Few win the nomination during their first run, and it seems even harder for a member of he House who are less known than senators and governors.
sounds very similar to
Lawyer, community organizer, senator, president.
Mayor of small town, 1/2 term governor, celebrity.......I'll pass.
Me too, and Piper was thrilled to pick the puppy to be named after her!
semi-conservative. No thanks.
But this person's female and very attractive... yeah, pass.
I and no less than Jim and the vast majority of TEA Party patriots disagree, but you keep trucking with your 1%er's, and I am NOT including Mike Pence in that group....yet. Just your other trial balloons. Who was it today? Herman Cain?
Like I said, mayor, 1/2 term gubner, celebrity.
"But this person's female and very attractive... yeah, pass."
I don't consider a McCain clone on immigration to be in the nation's best interest. Certainly not in conservatism's.
NHC! (no hot chicks)
Who is that being run over and crapped on by the dogs?
Probably some kind of pissant.......
Nice try, but epic fail. She's arm in arm with AZ Governor Brewer. You will have to wait for Sarah Palin's policy announcements and the Republican debates, because I'm neither buying nor interested in rehashing your old material.
She can handle a kitchen and a gun! Woo-Hoo!
LOL. Now don't get too mean late at night.
He is a helluva lot better than any Democrat out there and certainly better than Obama.
As a plus, he's not Mitt or the Huckster. They are the MSM choice, so that's a BIG plus!
I see how this works. She is publicly supportive of Brewer and SB1070 and therefore the cultists get to pretend she doesn't support amnesty. ROFL. That shows me you don't understand the amnesty issue in the least.
For example, do you know amnesty pimps Mccain, Graham, and Newt all support Brewer and SB1070? It's true. Why? because it has NOTHING to do with their beloved Comprehensive Immigration Reform (amnesty)
McCain voices support for immigrant trespassing bill
Change of Heart or Kidnapped by Aliens? Sen. Graham Was Against SB1070, Now Supports Arizonas Illegal Immigration Law, Even Criticizes Obama for Lawsuit Against AZ
Gingrich discusses Arizona immigration bill
Canned speeches and photo ops can't make up for this crapola.
Well, at least it looks like she'll get a large chunk of the GOP rank and file to pretend amnesty isn't amnesty. Gotta give her that. Bush tried it, but it didn't end well for him.
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
You will be quite unamused when this issue comes up in the 2012 primary, I assure you.
Put some ice on it!
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
Trust me, spanky, the word is getting out on Palin's, shall we say, libtard streak.
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
I'm sure you would. His amnesty plan is not much different than Sarah McPalin's.
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
I have no problem with you cultists posting her pictures and swarming all over a Mike Pence thread. Just do me a favor and quit whining like jilted schoolgirls when it's done to Precious worship threads.
'Almost no one goes from Congress to President'
Garfield is the only one who did.
Pence, if you want to do a great service to American and the freedom movement, take on Richard Lugar, RINO extrordinaire. The creep voted for the bad START Tready, voted for the DREAM Act and craps on the Tea Party.

Katie Lee JoelReplyCancel
i cant see rachel ray at a club. everytime i (mentally) dress her up in a "club" outfit and place her in the VIP section where she will no doubt be "poppin bottles"…she evaporates. she does not belong there. cant see her doing this.ReplyCancel
oh wait, not currently married. nm. I just can't stand herReplyCancel
I agree that Rachel Ray isn't a "chef". Beyond that, I got nuthin'. Sadly (or not), I've never watched a food show or the food channel.
I know Rachel Ray from commercials and tabloids and gossip. A chef she ain't.
I believe this is Rachael Ray. For not being a true "chef", she sure knows how to bring in the millions.ReplyCancel
Guiada hot dog swallower.ReplyCancel
The Blow Job Queen.ReplyCancel
Giada is built for the doggystyle. I don't care how much her beak would tickle my nuts during a 69, she need to get that thing dealt with.ReplyCancel
That Pioneer woman is a thing now? I've used her website-she has some good recipes, but she is neither entertaining nor a chef.ReplyCancel
Well, Count, I looked up a photos of Giada to see why you were taking about her beak, I didn't recall her having one.
A photo of Giada in high school was on google, it explains everything. We are talking very late bloomer here, I'd be willing to bet that she wasn't getting any action in high school unless it was the "sure thing" kind, if that.
@Susan: 1/2 my family is Italian broads and none of em got a beak like that.ReplyCancel
I absolutely cannot stand that Pioneer Woman and her fake humble "country girl" schtick. I'd listen to Rachael Ray before I'd listen to PW fakery, and RR makes me stabby.ReplyCancel
My mom has made me watch The Pioneer woman. I was gonna guess her to be silly. She is cute, I admit, but she ain't clubbin unless it's a quilting club.
My Mom also can't look at Giada wothout gasping about her cleavage parade.
So Giada's another Brandi G now? She blows em and they split? That's gotta make a girl feel good.ReplyCancel
Count, Giada is the eternal M. Total oral fixation is the prognosis, my zucchini is the cure.ReplyCancel
@Susan-I've wondered the same thing. Giada is not very discreet so I assume she and her husband have an agreement. What's in it for him? He needed a beard?ReplyCancel
Rachel Ray did win Iron Chef against Giada a few years ago. Of course, there were actual Iron Chefs helping them.ReplyCancel
Gina Sz- Tell me MORE!! I love chefy gossip.
I love Julia Child, Giada and yes, even Rachael Ray.
auntliddy – LMAO. You make such a good point! Chef, cook; tomato tomahto. Whatevs. Clearly, these broads know what they're doing in the kitchen.
I am totally making a Giada salmon number tonight. And I just rocked out her cannellini dip and pita chips for a playdate. Divine!ReplyCancel
Paula Deen?ReplyCancel
That is what I like to hear, Cowbulls! "Alright honey, get on all 4's. If you look back at me, yer gettin a shot to the ribs."ReplyCancel

|In response to Re: Swaging copper tubing
: Soft copper can be, but your heating element is hard copper and very thin hard copper at that.
Ah, I see my mistake now. It's deforming from the pipe cutter because it's thin, not because it's soft. I presume that it's thin for better heat transfer.
Maybe swaging it isn't such a good idea; reaming it back out to some semblance of a circle might be a better idea.
For future reference, is some other tool a better idea than a pipe cutter on these elements? The instructions that came with the element specifically said to use a pipe cutter, but even with the screw barely turned, it deformed the pipe rather than cutting it. Or is something simply wrong with my pipe cutter? It's a Ridgid 150 and the cutting wheel is brand new, but the tool itself is over 10 years old and has cut a lot of pipe.
Thanks again for all your help.

Designed in 1962 by Harold Holdcroft, Royal Albert's Old Country Roses has become one of the most popular china patterns in the company's century-long history. The sumptuous design is enhanced by the elegant Montrose shape, graceful floral ornamentation, rich feminine colors, and a grace and elegance that is uniquely English. This dinnerware set is the perfect way to start off a collection that will last a lifetime and never go out of style.
**Care Instructions: Great care needs to be taken when cleaning this item as it contains intricate and delicate details. It may be washed by hand, using warm water and a mild liquid detergent applied with a soft, damp cloth. It is best to use a small, soft make up brush instead of a cloth. Do not use abrasive materials or powders for cleaning. Do not submerge the product or get water inside the holes in the base. Dry the larger, open areas with a soft cloth. Allow intricate or delicate details to air dry. Be sure the item is completely dry before returning to display area.
It is perfectly safe to wash your dinnerware in an automatic dishwasher, as long as you adhere to the following guidelines. Load the washer so that pieces do not touch each other, to avoid the risk of scratching. Do not overload. Wash at 149F degrees maximum - the "short wash" or "china and crystal" cycle is sufficient for normal cleaning. As soon as the wash water has drained away, there should be an immediate rinse cycle to flush away deposits of detergent, which will form a film if allowed to dry on the ware.
Dinnerware Durability: Bone and fine china products are very durable and when properly cared for, will last for many years. It is safe to warm your fine bone china and fine china plates and serving dishes in the warming compartment of your oven up to 150`F. Never place china in contact with a direct flame or subject it to extreme temperature change. Pieces with a gold or platinum band or detail are not microwave safe. Fine bone china should not be used for cooking purposes. Fine china is suitable for use in the freezer.
Made in Bangladesh.

If you think political correctness on our college campuses is a threat to free speech, I have a news flash for you. It's even worse than that. It's actually putting the lives of our young people at risk.
Sound a bit over the top? Only if you haven't read a riveting account by a campus psychiatrist who knows the price our children are paying mentally, emotionally and physically for the attitudes that allow the "sexual revolution" to rage unchecked in the halls of "higher learning."
That psychiatrist, Dr. Miriam Grossman, took a bold step last year when she first published "Unprotected: A Campus Psychiatrist Reveals How Political Correctness in Her Profession Endangers Every Student." So bold, in fact, that the original hardcover edition (now out in paperback) listed the author as "Anonymous, M.D." The potential for backlash, personally and professionally, was all too real.
Backlash for what, you ask? Oh, writing sentences like this: "Casual sex is a health hazard for young women." Believe it or not, such expressions the embodiment of common sense to just about every parent on earth represent rank heresy in Dr. Grossman's profession. You're expected to hand out condoms and push "safe sex" (or "safer sex") on students at every turn, but never, ever "pass judgment" on any behavior. One should encourage "experimentation" and downplay any moral and religious concerns as the undesirable traits of a "patriarchal" society. Abstinence is an unattainable ideal, and "tradition" is another word for "repression."

Wow. I have GOT to get to a college campus.
Oy. Reason #54673 that local community college looks good.
Stay the hell away from MSU! I have told my daughter to tell me about "trollers". I'll beat you into a greasy spot in the carpet.
Have a nice day.
I never understand this attitude. College should be the place to study all the accumulated knowledge of western civilization - so the student doesn't have to recreate the wheel.
After college is when a student should begin to apply what they have learned and to be creative at the outer edges of accumulated knowledge.
Excellent response!
Some students get A's, B's, C's, STD's.
Unfortunately, the women who came on to me in college didn't smell nice. I don't know what the problem was, but it was a deal killer again and again. I must have had unreasonable expectations sniff wise.
Then a professor put the moves on me and it totally wierded me out. In retrospect it sounds interesting and kinda kinky cause she was pretty hot, but at the time as a 20 y.o., I was wierded out.
To make a long story short, I ended up being a monongamous kind of fellow. It kept me out of trouble, I didn't have to keep track of my lies and I am still married to the woman I met in college. The nice smelling one...
I now teach in a college that, as it happens, is probably much more Conservative than most.
I find students adding me to their Facebook accts. and I end up getting all these Campus Crusade for Christ announcements. Nothing wrong with that, but a very different environment from what I remember from 30 years ago.
Plus, very little drug use. Too much drinking still, but students are consistently disparaging and critical of dope and ridicule it without mercy.
Funny how the worm turns.
Lets lobby for next year to be a No Undie Run. This stuff never happened in my college days! WAH, WAH!!
>>**warning for pix of young college students in underwear**<<
The horror; the horror!
I've always thought that the best revenge was to be more Conservative than your parents. Kinda like Michael J. Fox in that old TV show.
In my case the college where I teach is populated by students who often are the first in their family to attend college. That makes it a serious business. Combined with the fact that it is an extremely expensive and specialized private college, it seems that they take it very, very seriously.
Oh, a banana peel or a little bud probably slips through the cracks...
All in all, very career focused.
And this is new? Sounds like college back in the 70's when I went.
Don't think the odor of fish and patchouli ain't sexy ? :-P
There are much better books on the subject. I recommend, in particular, Unhooked by Laura Sessions Stepp. Here is its Amazon URL:
They are just now realizing this????? Geez.
problem was her friends had video taped the alleged rape
tape revealed this young woman was the agressor
she reported the rape 3 days after she had sex with the young man publicly
morning after regrets to the max
another case -- 21 year old -- went to a young man's apartment off campus -- drank heavily, smoked pot
his friends taped the encounter
while she tried to cry rape... she had actually encouraged the young man
both cases very sad... and these young women were haunted by what they had done
I wondered at the time why their mothers didn't warn them about this behavior
Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic Ping List:
Please ping me to all note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.
Sounds like the best advice for college men is to install a video capture system.
Most parents are either unaware of the "sex with anyone, at anytime, in any fashion, for any reason" culture pervading today's campuses. No no, this is nothing new and has been going for ages, trust me...
I'm one of the dinosaurs on FR, having been born in 1950. Of course sexual attitudes were more restrained in the past, especially those of women. ("Nice girls don't do it and so forth.) Attitudes were even more restrained before the mid-1960s. To get a sense of that, look at old television shows. I remember that in the late 1950s, a man down the street stayed up late at night in order to see the bra commercials on TV. They were considered too sexually-charged for anything other than late night television.
I spent WAY too much time in laboratories when I was a student.
I certainly hope these college men have a better idea than a video capture system.
Note to self: re-enroll at alma mater.....
All the guys are running around in boxers and most of the girls are running around dressed like strippers. Guess these young women are really empowered.
In some schools they'll press rape charges against the guy if the girl as had even 1 drink. Evidently under the concept that he took advantage of her in her drunken state. Brown University is one example that pushes this.
Michigan? Minnesota? Mississippi? Montana? Moldavia? Mali? Madagascar? Malaysia?
Must have been anchovies
Midrassa Shia University...
Thanks for sharing.
Keep up the great, rewarding work teacher.
Sure wasn't that way at my college.
As usual, things are way exaggerated.
Does some of this go on.....yes. At some schools, more than others.
But, it happened 30 years ago just as bad.
What subject do you teach?
I am in my first year teaching TV production and speech in middle school. It is awful...the discipline issues. I hope I get it figured out; if not, I can't do it next year!
I might get my doctorate in history and teach college then.
The children who grew up in the Clinton era have come of age. Their whole lives they were instructed that oral sex was not "sex".
I had read a vague little line about an Ivy League campus where homophobia was considered " the unwillingness to engage in sodomy." 1/3 of the males there had supposedly declared themselves homosexual. Looks like Columbia is that school.
I don't see change happening. Colleges are run by liberals; promoters of the sex positive agenda. The results have been high out of wedlock birth rates, single mothers, welfare, crime, 1.3 million abortions per year, an increase in STDs, etc. A society with problems needs more government intervention, and in step the liberals. This country will need a religious revival and/or pervasive change in attitude for a change. I don't see it happening. Look at the replies to this thread on FR alone.
Hmph... it was worse when I was at college, back in the days before HIV and herpes. Today's kids are pretty good, actually.
Looks like nothing much has changed and college students are the same the world over!
And that's just the hep test.
What my children learned was: If the name Bill Clinton occurs on the car radio, the volume is immediately turned off.
Thats a load of crap. Does casual sex happen at college? Yes. It also happens before and after college. Is it accepted? Again yes, Sex and the City anyone? Does it occur in any semblence to what's described here, NOPE.
I cancelled the cable TV when the Clinton special prosecutor's report hit the news.
It's astonishing. Almost as astonishing as the amounts of money people pay for this "education."
Colleges are actively promoting the sexual license desired by radical atheistic secular leftist materialism.
Oh man. A little too early for that comment FRiend. Yuk!

FGD: Things To Do In Denver (When You're Dying To Be Above .500)
Ryan Pike
February 28 2013 01:08PM
Your Calgary Flames have a bit of a problem, gang. They're seemingly allergic to getting over that hump at the .500 mark. They're 0-3-1 this year in games that could've put them over the top, and have arguably put out their four worst games of the year in those four outings. Heck, the same thing happened early last season and the Flames were only 3-4-2 when entering a game with a .500 record and the "horrible effort" train chugs back to that point last year, most notably the 9-0 mauling by the Bruins.
But the Flames get a second chance tonight, as they head into snowy Denver to tangle with the Colorado Avalanche. These two teams did battle in Calgary earlier this season, with the Flames blowing a third period tie in rather spectacular fashion and losing 6-3. They're hoping to put together a strong effort tonight.
To say the Flames were "flat" on Tuesday against Minnesota would be charitable. The entire team is probably thankful that Joey MacDonald was there to keep them in the game. Through the first 18 games, MacDonald is the only Flames goalkeeper with a respectable save percentage. His start tonight will see him pass Miikka Kiprusoff for the most time in a Flames net this season.
It's been a weird year. Here's the probable lines for tonight, courtesy of Sportsnet's Roger Millions (@rogmillions):
- Tanguay – Stajan – Iginla
- Glencross – Cammalleri – Stempniak
- Baertschi – Hudler – Comeau
- Aliu – Begin – Jackman
- Giordano – Bouwmeester
- Brodie – Wideman
- Butler – Sarich
- MacDonald
Aliu's back, at the expense of (likely) Roman Cervenka. Cervenka has been "fine" this year. If you're asking why Blake Comeau is (a) still in the top-nine and (b) has played 17 of the 18 games this year, I have no idea. He's the Anton Babchuk of Flames forwards – he seemed like a decent low-risk pick-up at the time but I have no idea why you re-sign him or retain him in your line-up when the results have been so middling to poor. Particularly in the top-9 rotation.
On the other hand, Matt Stajan continues to be awesome.
The Avalanche are missing a ton of bodies and are riding a three-game winless streak (all of which took place on the same terrible road trip to California). Now back home, they're hoping to get healthy and get back on track. Like the Flames, Colorado hasn't been above the .500 mark all year, but can get back to the black with a win against the Flames.
Courtesy of the Herald's Scott Cruickshank, here are the probable lines:
- McGinn – Stastny - Parenteau
- Landeskog – Mitchell - Jones
- McLeod – Olver - Hejduk
- Bordeleau – Kobasew - Palushaj
- Hejda - Barrie
- Hunwick - O'Byrne
- O'Brien - Zanon
- Varlamov
Matt Duchene didn't practice at Wednesday's optional session, but could slot in for the Avs. He's been out day-to-day with a groin issue. Also out for the Avalanche are Ryan Wilson, Erik Johnson, Steve Downie and the un-signed Ryan O'Reilly.
Despite their mediocre record, the Avalanche aren't a bad team – although that blueline is a tad thin (a product of injuries). Their two top lines are respectable and former Flames pick Chuck Kobasew has carved out a fairly distinguished career for himself. Thursday will be his 548th NHL contest, which makes him noteworthy amongst a string of awful, awful Flames first rounders.
With a fully healthy (and signed) roster, the Avalanche are every bit Calgary's equal talent-wise. However, the Flames largely out-played Colorado for 40 minutes at home when they played last month. Sadly, that was followed by a weird, wacky third period where bad luck and inconsistency burned the Flames and gave them a loss.
Life's not full of second chances, but the Flames have a shot to get above .500 once more. Their four previous opportunities to do so were, to be blunt, horrible. Let's hope that's not repeated in Denver.
February 28 2013, 09:52PM
Iginla has 2 goals, but his line has gotten their heads beat in tonight. I count the chances as 1-8 for them at ES tonight.
February 28 2013, 09:52PM
Penalty to Flame?
February 28 2013, 09:53PM
Landeskog looks incredible tonight. Hopefully the Avs lowball him in a year or two when he's RFA....
With today's ROR signing, they my have to low ball him.
February 28 2013, 09:53PM
Thanks O'BRien!
The Flames goal against is way too high, they were tied with Columbus before entering tonight's game.
If I am Jay Feaster I would go out and try to land a top 4 d-man or maybe 2 top 6 d-men. Babs has only played twice since coming back from injury and is useless anyways. Sarich has only played eight games.
My other move would obviously get another top six forward, which they tried today but somehow Feaster's got to make it happen.
February 28 2013, 09:56PM
Really dude, why are you here? Bugger off if you're just going to smack talk. All you've done is be an arsehole tonight with nothing constructive to add to the conversation. We get it, Flames suck, everyone here agrees with you. Now go back to trolling the Flames Facebook feed or something.
February 28 2013, 09:57PM
Nice play by Iginla and Bouw there
Come on Boys!!!!!!
well. on a positive note, at least the flames are making this... um. interesting! jeez loueez. lets go PP
February 28 2013, 10:01PM
Why doesn't Baertschi get a shot on the PP???
February 28 2013, 10:03PM
So, who does Feaster offer sheet tomorrow? Or trade? Or is this the Stanley Cup 2012-2013 team right here still? That was an absolutely HIDEOUS PP, and this is the second time that the Flames have blown a big lead over the Avs and lost. This was a team the Flames beat 9 or 10 times in a row and now the tables have turned
When do things change in Flamesland?
February 28 2013, 10:03PM
I dont know. He deserves one tonight at least.
February 28 2013, 10:05PM
You know things are REAL screwy when Matt Stajan is counted on to score in the last minute of a game.
February 28 2013, 10:05PM
Terrific. game over
February 28 2013, 10:05PM
That's what I was thinking. These offer sheets are all on players that other teams...drafted.
such a disapointing finish to good looking start. bugger me gently. talk about a game we needed to win...
February 28 2013, 10:08PM
Flames continue slump bustin'. Blow it up, PLEASE. Someone needs to grab Feaster by the collar and shake him until his ears bleed. This team is pathetic.
February 28 2013, 10:08PM
I would've given Ryan O'Reily the 2nd star if I was picking instead of Iginla. That was the biggest loss/heartbreak tonight, and that was the Avs biggest win :(
February 28 2013, 10:08PM
I know I'm going to sound negative here, but did anyone believe 3-0 was enough of a lead? You can't put it on MacDonald, but a better goalie would have won this game.
God damnit O'Reilly
These games are worse than those San Jose and Boston massacres, reminds me of the meltdown in Chicago.
The Avs have a plethora of proven talent, Duchene, Landeskog, Stastny and of course our friend O'Reilly.
February 28 2013, 10:11PM
Final chances were 21-14 Avs. And that's with Calgary getting two chances with the goalie pulled and three more just after some PP's ended in the third.
February 28 2013, 10:11PM
The drinking is commencing
From what little I saw that was an entertaining game though.
I still think this roster has the chance to move up the standings. I like the offense and the speed. Hudler has surprised me.
This team hasn't been the same since that 5-0 collapse against Chicago. I hate to say it, but blow it up. This is awful.
February 28 2013, 10:13PM
Well, see ya everybody. Like schevvy so eloquently put it, the drinking is commencing.
This team hasn't been the same since that 5-0 collapse against Chicago. I hate to say it, but blow it up. This is awful.
6-5 loss. lest we forget...
That was the most bi-polar day I've ever experienced as a Flames fan
February 28 2013, 10:19PM
Not trolling, but I do sincerely apologize if it comes across that way.
My criticisms come from wanting better for a fan base that I generally have come to respect. Kent and the other writers here on FN are some of the best in the blogging business, and for the most part the fans who post here are intelligent, passionate, observant individuals. I think they are getting jerked around by the people running their team. Don't misinterpret empathy for sarcasm or pretension.
I wanted the Flames to win tonight and was reasonably confident they could close this out.
As for constructive conversation, I'm don't believe name-calling is raising the bar.
well that kinda sucked the big one. See you guys Sunday vs the nucks.
February 28 2013, 10:21PM
That was the most bi-polar day I've ever experienced as a Flames fan
Yeah, that couldn't have been easy. Hope to talk to you next game.
February 28 2013, 10:25PM
You're right - my apologies for calling you an arsehole. No need for that. Guess some of my frustration with this team is showing through and it got taken out on the wrong person.
Easy to misunderstand the tone of what someone is saying on here, especially when it's an Oilers fan. You did have a couple REAL sarcastic comments in there, such as the one about how our PP is supposed to be good, when they had been on something like an 0-20 streak. See my issue?
I do appreciate your comments most of the time, and have enjoyed your series of articles on rebuilding. At least SOMEONE is reaching across the aisle and not just showing up to say "Fl4MERS SUCK HAHA".
Yeah, that couldn't have been easy. Hope to talk to you next game.
It was like getting the hot girl at the bar, having her taken away by her abusive ex-boyfriend, and then getting beaten up and put in intensive care. And that's putting it mildly
February 28 2013, 10:28PM
I commenced drinking midway thru the second (well, technically, before the game even started, but who's counting).
Now the trick is to have small goals - I'll be at the game in Anaheim next weekend and just once I want them to win a game there in front of me! Is that too much to ask? (Please, noone answer that).
February 28 2013, 10:30PM
That was the most bi-polar day I've ever experienced as a Flames fan
Me too. Talk about your mood swings.
We need a goalie right now. Can't serve up rebounds in the NHL like that. This one is on MacBackup.

Considering it's in Anaheim, where they haven't won since the 2006 playoffs (2004 in the regular season), not likely. (Sorry)
February 28 2013, 10:31PM
What a rollercoaster...At least we get Van on a back to back so it won't be a total blowout, bah!
We're just not very good, brutal PP (give Sven a shot), terrible goaltending (how slow did MacDonald look?) and the D stand around (come on Gio).
February 28 2013, 10:32PM
Dogsh!t day. Ends the way it should. What an embarrassment piled on disappointment. A bad terrible franchise stays the same and loses an easy game.
Words do not express my true dissapointment.
February 28 2013, 10:40PM
Considering it's in Anaheim, where they haven't won since the 2006 playoffs (2004 in the regular season), not likely. (Sorry)
That's why I didn't want an answer! I've been there for most of those losses, and they've all been painful in their own way. They'd usually make it up with a win in LA, but that's far from guaranteed this year.
Ah well, better to have passion in a losing cause than no passion at all. I think.
February 28 2013, 10:42PM
It was like getting the hot girl at the bar, having her taken away by her abusive ex-boyfriend, and then getting beaten up and put in intensive care. And that's putting it mildly
Wow, that bad.
You know, I wouldn't usually do this, but for you Schev, I almost (almost) hope the Flames win the draft lottery.
Here's hoping the Flames can tear a strip off the Canucks.
If Sven is so highly regarded let him flourish on the top line or even the second line. He's not going to be impactful on the third and fourth line. He would be better off on the top line back in the AHL.
If I ran a team at least one line every season would be kids, playing them gets them experience. How did Brodie get to where he is now, yes he did take a step forward but played 58 games last season. Experience pay dividends!
Wow, that bad.
You know, I wouldn't usually do this, but for you Schev, I almost (almost) hope the Flames win the draft lottery.
Here's hoping the Flames can tear a strip off the Canucks.
Thanks Rex! Means a lot...
We all know what's going to happen. Kipper comes back either Sunday or Wednesday, team goes on a streak, stands pat at the deadline as they sit in 8th, fall off at the end and pick 14th.
February 28 2013, 10:55PM
I'd love to see the Flames and Oilers battle for the 8th playoff spot. It's the closest we can get to a BoA this season.
Not going to happen though. As much as you seem to think the Flames will find another of their perennial hot streaks, I believe the Oilers will run into their usual "top 6 forwards injured" cliche they like to run every year.
Sleep it off, you'll feel better in the morning. I hear O'Reilly goes to bed with a teddy bear and only orders Shirley Temples at the bar. =)
Trade Iggy, Cammy, Tangs, GlenX, Kipper, Stempniak and you have at least 6 draft picks! JK
Honestly aren't many I'd consider untouchable on this team right now. Keep the youth (Sven and TJ). Keep a few veterans who are actually performing (Hudler, JayBo, maybe Wideman since he is what he is and no one will take that contract right now). As for everyone else? Sell them to the highest bidder. The team can't do much worse with a bunch of AHL rejects, can they? We should almost be paying other teams to take some of these ineffective veterans off our hands. Hard to believe they even give a crap when there is no obvious effort shown.
I wish I didn't know what you mean but I have to agree. I want to toss my Flames merch in the corner and forget about it. Start following a team with players that play like they care. Hell, even follow a team like the Isles or Jackets who can't help but get better because they're just too inept to get much worse.
To see such a lack of effort from the Flames year after to year, to see a team with so many veterans and so close to the cap play to the level of their competition...I can't think of words to express my frustration without delving into profanity that would make a sailor blush.

Customer Comments:
Highly recommend Tropical Traditions! We placed a meat order and it totaled over $300. A man from Tropical Traditions called me before it shipped to make sure we were expecting the order and no fraud was taking place. Wow! That was a nice touch! The meat arrived still frozen and in a timely manner. The meat is nicely packaged, no blood on the outside of the packages like we experienced when ordering from another website. Already loved Tropical Traditions for their coconut oil, now love them for their meat, too! Donna - Satsuma, AL
I just received your pastured poultry. I wanted you to know that the first pastured chicken I cooked last night was beyond a doubt the BEST CHICKEN I have ever eaten. The flavor was outstanding. I put a little coconut oil on the top as it was roasting. The test was in the eating of this product. I didn't even have to use salt to give it flavor. Beyond a doubt this is one of the best purchases I have made from you. After these chickens are gone, I'll be ordering more! Vicki - Houston, Texas
I was first impressed with the way the eggs were packed for shipping! Not a single egg, out of 48, was cracked. The eggs are large and full. The shells are very strong, as is the inner membrane. There are no small pieces of shell to deal with and the strong yolk did not break when dropped into the pan. The flavor is outstanding. I would describe it as rich. These eggs are definitely the healthiest and best tasting eggs I have ever eaten! Bob - La Grande, OR
Just wanted to let you know that your lamb is the best! I ordered some lamb arm roasts and ground lamb. The lamb was delicious and is by far the best lamb I have eaten and I have had other grass fed lamb. Robert - Payson, AZ
The eggs and grassfed meat are excellent and shipping cost is most reasonable. I have been ordering from Tropical Traditions for many years and all orders have been fulfilled in a timely manner. George - Arlington Heights, IL

I have read several works on Acts 17:16-34 and found that many authors say, based upon TON IHSOUN KAI.THN ANASTASIN, EUHGGELIZETO, that Paul was preaching about Jesus and Anastasia. I might be missing something but this seems to me to be problematic. ANASTASIN is simply the acc.s.fem. of the third declension noun ANASTASIS. There may indeed be a Greek name ANASTASIA, but that is not what Acts uses. So I'm curious how one could justify rendering the Greek as Anastasia.

Summit County Fishing Report: Ice begins to form on upper elevation waters
October 23, 2012
In upcoming weeks, lots of change to the landscape will occur, including many waters developing an ice coat. It's already happening on some of the small ponds near timberline. Even Dillon Reservoir is showing a bit of ice along the shore at the inlets, and anglers are reporting icing guides as they fish early in the morning – even though fishing is on the slow side.
Early ice is strong ice, but anglers need to use extreme caution and not venture out for a couple of weeks after first freeze, or until at least four inches of ice is in place.
Reports indicate a few kokanee have moved into the Blue River and that they are showing up periodically at the inlet to Green Mountain Reservoir. However, snagging has been slow and anglers are outnumbering the fish at this time. As kokanee can move in and out quickly, either plan on sitting it out, hoping to hit the run, or look to catch better fish while waiting for them. Switch up techniques when you spot porpoising.
If you're just looking to catch, but not keep kokanee, the Dream Stream in South Park is a good option right now, with both salmon and brown trout showing in good numbers. Those numbers also meant plentiful fishermen.
Wolford Reservoir is another option for kokanee, especially around the dam area. Keep in mind that snagging is not permitted there. However, bright lures, jigs, flies, and jigs worked below a float all have the potential to produce. Trout action has been slow, and the waters are fairly stained.
Rivers, especially the Eagle River all the way downstream to Gypsum, remain low and clear. Not much has changed since last week, so fly-fishers should look for sporadic hatches of blue-winged olives and midges, especially when skies are cloudy or during low-light periods. Streamers early and late in the day have the best shot at larger browns, but please avoid fishing redds. During the day, any variety of nymphs will work, particularly reddish brown and peacock patterns. As the waters continue to cool, look for the fish to move into deeper, slower waters.

The Vaughn Velocity 7490 Comp Goalie Stick is constructed from a combination of full graphite carbon fiber and fiberglass. The combination of materials makes this goal stick extremely light weight as well as provides superior balance and feel.
The 7490 goal stick is manufactured through Vaughn's molding process under extreme high pressure and heat ensuring complete structural bonding and adhesion to the internal foam core. The blade is constructed using special high tensile strength fibers and resins along with internal ribs to achieve a higher level of durability and rigidity. The stick features a high density internal foam core to help with stick vibrations and shot dampening upon impacts. The paddle features a thin profile design and is built with full composite exterior and high density interior foam core as well.

I would reccomend this stick for advanced goalies and you will not be dissapointed when you receive the Vaughn 7490 Composite Goalie Stick!

(December 23) Today we're celebrating. . . Festivus
Ahhh yes. Festivus. The holiday "for the rest of us!" Get out your aluminium pole and get ready to "air your grievances" because its one of our favorite holidays!
Festivus was first introduced in the famous Seinfeld episode "The Strike" in which Frank Costanza, father of the beloved George Costanza, tells how he created Festivus in response to the commercialization of Christmas. But in reality Festivus has been around since the 1960's and was "rediscovered" by the Seinfeld writers.
A highlight of the festival is the Festivus Pole. Simple. Unadorned. Strikingly aluminium.
While its a bit late to get your Festivus pole for this years celebration, there is always next year. And the website of the Wagner Companies in Milwaukee is a great place to start. And don't forget to check out their great video explaining the vast and humorous history of the Festivus holiday.
Why yes even Santa's elves are getting into the holiday spirit!

The time has come for Festivus!

With the approaching holidays, this is an especially good time to nominate an excellent classroom teacher for an Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Award, according to Ken May, general manager of the Sufco mine.
The awards program is funded by the Arch Coal Foundation. The Foundation's teacher-recognition program is available in Carbon, Emery, Sanpete and Sevier counties, which surround the Dugout Canyon, Sufco and Skyline mines operated by Canyon Fuel Company, a subsidiary of Arch Coal, Inc.
An application is sent immediately to teachers when nominated," said May. "Past recipients say the application calls for introspection and thoughtful responses to its in-depth questions, so it requires time to complete. Because applications must be mailed back to us by Feb. 17, 2012, the upcoming winter break is a perfect time for nominated teachers to prepare their applications.
Take a minute today and say 'thanks' to a teacher who has made a difference in your life," said May. "When teachers receive acknowledgement that they have been nominated, that also is an appreciated gift."
Past recipients of the Arch Coal Teacher Achievement Award serve as judges. Applications are read multiple times and independently scored. The Arch Coal Foundation makes five $3,500 personal, cash awards to classroom teachers. The award recipients are expected to be announced in spring 2012.
Nomination forms are available in schools and in many partner locations. Partners for the program include the Office of the Governor, Utah State Office of Education, Utah Education Association, Utah School Superintendents Association, Carbon County School District, Emery County School District, Sevier County School District, North Sanpete School District, South Sanpete School District, Far West Bank, Market Express, radio stations KMTI, KLGL, KMGR, KSVC, KCYQ, KOAL, KARB, KRPX, and both TacoTime and Bookcliff Sales in Price. Nominations also may be made online at www.archteacherawards.com and the Utah Education Association website, www.myuea.org.
Arch's Canyon Fuel Company is Utah's largest coal producer and a large, state employer with a workforce of nearly 800. U.S.-based Arch Coal, Inc. (NYSE:ACI) is a top five global coal producer and marketer, with 179 million tons of coal sold pro forma in 2010. Arch is the most diversified American coal company, with mining complexes across every major U.S. coal supply basin. Arch's core business is supplying cleaner-burning, low-sulfur thermal and metallurgical coal to power generators and steel manufacturers on four continents.

"I ordered this in wide red. Absolutely gorgeous shoe! Heels are pretty high for me. Looks great with black. However, the wide was not wide at all. I held the shoe up to my foot, and my foot hung over the side of the shoe by at least 1/2 inch. If you have a narrow foot, you'll probably be fine. No one with wide feet should order these though. You'll be disappointed with the fit."

just FYI
"This shoe is absolutely gorgeous and the suede is delish! HOWEVER, know that it not only runs narrow, the wide width isn't even close to wide. and the length is on the very shy side of average.i wear a 9 1/2 wide, i ordered a 10 wide and could barely squeeze my foot in.go long. go wide and if you actually NEED a wide, go somewhere else, these are definitely NOT wide widths.just another pair of gorgeous shoes that i can't wear. doesn't anybody make beautiful shoes for wide feet? : ("

It's always fun to see musicians from bands that I listened to in high school coming around to the realm of dance music production. Sonny from From First To Last was reborn as Dubstep wonderboy, Skrillex. And now, Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz and Hidden In Plain View/Saves The Day's Spencer Peterson have recently teamed up as Black Cards, already putting together a handful of catchy remixes for the likes of Major Lazer, Rihanna, Cobra Starship, and more. We'll be giving you the world premiere of their first mixtape (as seen in image above) tomorrow morning, but have a first look today at their unreleased Big Room Electro remix of Cobra Starship's #1Nite.

Hi. I am still nursing my 18 month old daughter, Lily, and I just wanted to hear from others out there that have "been there, done that". Lily is only eating about 3 times a day (always before she sleeps - before nap, before bed, and in the middle of the night). I nursed my oldest daughter, Hannah, until she was 16 months old. I weaned her much sooner than Lily, because I wasn't "enlightened" on AP philosophies back then (5 years ago). She weaned so easily. I am still enjoying nursing Lily, but I'm starting to feel like I'm going to be ready to end it in the near future...hopefully by the time she's 2 or 2 1/2 years old. I know a lot of people who nurse their children until they are 3, 4 or even 5, which I think is great...but, that's just not for me. Plus, there are some personal reasons why I would like to stop soon. Anyways, Lily is now at a stage where she asks for "ilk"...she demands it, actually. When I'm ready, I think I am going to have my husband put Lily to bed and handle her in the middle of the night, which could help with weaning...but, will it be gentle? She does great at night for him...no crying...but, we've never attempted the middle of the night. She is very attached to her mama! :-) Anyways, I have no idea how I would wean her from eating right before her nap, because my husband, obviously, isn't home. I am interested in hearing everyone else's weaning stories. What worked? What didn't work? I appreciate any advice you all have.
No announcement yet.

dedra---leader, api of stark co., ohio
MomMom and devoted wife to 3 creatures of delight
when i thought i was going to be forced to wean ds1 due to medical issues, i was able to give up the naptime nursing by driving around in the car until he fell asleep. after 3 days of this, he no longer associated nursing w/naps. he was about 23 mos. then. the other times, we just stayed VERY busy, out of the house a lot b/c he would only nurse at home. i think he was just bored and had a strong association w/me sitting on the couch and nursing, so everytime i sat, he wanted to nurse.
we were down to nursing before bed and waking in the a.m. before i determined the medical issue no longer existed, but by then, he was fine w/those 2 nursings and we let him decide when he was officially done for good after that.
By the time she's 2 or 2 1/2, she'll be much easier to wean, since she will understand a lot more (verbally). We partially weaned (went down to just bedtime and morning wake my daughter when she a little past 2 1/2 yrs old. We did it first by just not offering, then by limiting the nursing during the day to like 5 seconds each time until we eventually just went down to only bedtime and morning nursing for a few minutes. I found that going slowly was easier on both of us. I also found the links on the "how to wean" in this page very very helpful.

Thanks Dedra! i remember you sharing some of these tips before
We're in no rush, but i like learning about different strategies that we can gently try.
Well, I weaned my older son shortly before his 4th birthday, so I don't know if my experience will be helpful...
About six months before his birthday, I talked to him about his birthday coming up, and how he was going to be a big boy. We talked about nursing, and agreed that he would stop nursing by his birthday. I put up a calendar, and we would check off the days. This way, he had an idea that we were getting closer to the time that he would stop nursing. Throughout this time, I encouraged him to nurse in fewer circumstances, and gave him water and hugs instead. We talked about it a lot, and he felt like he had a say in the matter. He stopped nursing more than a month before his birthday. He's almost six now, and asks to nurse occasionally since his baby brother was born, but he is fine with cuddles instead.
Hope that helps in some way.
Thanks for the suggestions! I do think that Lily will be easier to wean when she has more understanding. Something that I've been trying, which she doesn't mind, is I have just been offering her one breast instead of two. :-) So, she's only getting half of what she normally eats. She doesn't get upset by this at all...and, in fact, she seems pretty content. Could this eventually help towards the weaning process?
I'm also working towards weaning my 2 year old. She also asks and even begs... she asks for "some" and if I try and distracter her she'll say "PLEASE" and beg. She doesn't ask when we are out, but will put off napping (sometimes skipping entirely) if she doesn't get to breastfeed. We co-sleep and she dreamfeeds... she will try and get to me anytime I'm sitting down... even (or especially) when I'm in the bathroom and can't easily elude her.
I have no issue with extended breastfeeding, but we are trying to conceive (unsuccessfully) and the breastfeeding is a contributing factor. I'm 38 so waiting until she naturally weans isn't a great option for us.

Let's Go Fishing!
Come join Captain James LaVanway for an exciting day of inshore, nearshore, saltwater or freshwater fishing on the beautiful coastal waters of Charleston, South Carolina. Whether you are looking to catch flounder, red drum (spot tail bass), trout, sheepshead, largemouth bass, catfish, shell cracker, crappie, bream or more, you won't be disappointed with your experience. We even take you crabbing. From "beginner" to "Pro" he can fully accommodate your guiding needs.
Captain James uses the industry's first truly inshore /offshore fishing boat in the 25 foot category.... The SCOUT 251XS. With it's forward seating, the Scout 251XS was designed to be a hybrid model capable of handling and performing in both inshore and offshore waters. This model has a draft of 13 inches for backwater fishing while the hull design and freeboard allow it to slice through offshore waves while keeping you dry. Beyond the stunning lines, ample fishing features and creature comforts, the 251 XS also showcases SCOUT's revolutionary T- top glass enclosure keeping you cool on sunny days and out of the wind on cooler ones. This boat has a 300 HP Yamaha four-stroke engine, which can get you to and from your destination in short order. Some other features on this boat includes aerated bait well, leaning post with backrest, FM stereo with iPod jack (bring your own tunes!). JL audio speakers, a Garmin 5212 GPS depth finder and a transom ladder in case you want to go for swim. The boat has plenty of storage capacity so you don't have to pack light!
The boat can easily accommodate 6 passengers and provides a comfortable and safe ride to our fishing destinations. I provide the rods, reels, tackle, bait & ice but feel free to bring your own fishing gear if you prefer. Captain James offers Half Day, ¾ Day and Full Day Charters.
Not only can you enjoy a day of catching plenty of fish but you will also have a blast catching a glimpse of marine life in its natural habitat with his Aqua Vu underwater viewing system. We do hope that you will bring along a camera to take plenty of pictures, but in case you forgot, Captain James can provide you with digital pictures of your once in a lifetime fishing excursion. So email him at reelfishfinder.com or call him at (843) 697-2081 and we can get your day reserved.
