OGDB Final: A nation watches and hopes for gold
Jason Gregor
February 28 2010 11:57AM
In case we needed some more incentive for tonight's game, a win on the ice by Canada will set a new winter Olympic record for most Gold medals in one Olympics: fourteen I guess Own the Podium wasn't far off after all.
You've been captivated the past 15 days by the likes of Alex Bilodeau, Maelle Ricker, Christine Nesbitt, Jon Montgomery, Scott Moir, Tessa Virtue, Ashleigh McIvor, Kaillie Humphries, Heather Moyse, Charles Hamelin (twice), Francois Hamelin, Olivier Jean, Francois-Louis Tremblay, women's hockey, Mathieu Giroux, Lucas Makowsky, Denny Morrison, Jasey Jay Anderson, Kevin Martin, John Morris, Marc Kennedy and Ben Hebert.
Or maybe you shed a tear and felt a great sense of Canadian pride watching Joannie Rochette perform so admirably after her mother's death en route to a bronze medal, so maybe it is fitting that we get to watch OUR game against the United States.
I don't believe that hockey has dominated these games, because we've witnessed so many other great and inspirational efforts, but it is fitting that today Canada has a chance to win gold in the game we love the most, and finish off the 2010 Olympic Games in style.
Tickets for the game are going for more than a Super Bowl ticket right now. Scalpers, and on-line ticket sites are asking, and getting, four thousand dollars for a ticket.
The Americans can pump their chest all they want about football and baseball being their game, but neither of those sports are in the Olympics, and neither captivates an entire nation like hockey does for Canadians.
THERE IS A "G" an "O" and "D" in GOLD
Before we get any further I think it is fitting, being Sunday and all, that we say a few words. Read them out loud and with some feeling.
Our Father who art in Vancouver, hockey be thy name. Thy will be done, the Gold will be won, on the ice for the men as it was for the women. Give us this day, our hockey wives, and forgive us our penalties as we forgive those who cross check against us. Lead us not into elimination but deliver us to victory. For thine is the Getzlaf, the Toews and the holy Crosby, AMEN...
Reader/listener, Derrick, sent this to me and who knows maybe a little divine intervention can't hurt.
Even though the States have yet to lose in the tournament I still think Canada is the favourite. Ryan Miller has been spectacular for the USA and he'll need to do it again if they want to win.
Canada is averaging 40.5 SOG in the tourney, and they had 43 on Miller last Sunday, meanwhile the States have fired an average of 31 shots in their five wins. Miller will be busier than Roberto Luongo and he'll have to be better to stop Canada from grabbing their record-setting 14th gold.
The PPs are a saw off. Canada has scored on 29.1% of their opportunities while the USA is close at 28.5%. But Canada has a big advantage on the PK, with a tournament best 88.4% efficiency compared to only 76.9% for the States.
The most surprising stat is that these are the two most disciplined teams in the tourney. The States have only been shorthanded 13 times in five games, while Canada has had to kill of 19 penalties in their six games. Both teams have been physical, but neither has run into penalty trouble, excluding the 3rd period last Sunday when Canada took three consecutive penalties.
It would seem the big advantage the US has is in goal with Ryan Miller. Miller has given up five goals in five games, although his GAA is just below one, because he didn't play the final eleven minutes v. Finland. And is SV% is a sparkling .952.
But outside of the Canada game has he really been tested.
He faced 15 shots v. the Swiss, 11 v. Norway, 43 v. Canada, then 19 in the quarterfinals against the Swiss, before stopping 18 in the semi-final. He has played well, there is no doubt, but when you consider the bad games we've seen from Martin Brodeur, Henrik Lundqvist (Slovakia), Evgeni Nabokov (Canada) and Mikka Kiprusoff in the semis you wonder if it's Miller's time to lay an egg?
I hope he plays great and Canada still wins, because then there will be no excuses from south of the border.
A big goal in today's game will make a player famous for years to come. Paul Henderson wasn't the best player in 1972, but he scored the two most important goals in that series, and he's famous because of it.
Who will be a star today?
My money is on Ryan Getzlaf. Some questioned if his ankle would allow him to contribute, but those worries have been erased by a clutch performance from Getzlaf. He, along with Corey Perry and Brendan Morrow, has been Canada's best line the past two games and I expect that to continue today.
Sidney Crosby has been rather quiet the past few games, so you can never count out the Kid, but I have a feeling Getzlaf's line will be key in Canada's win.
I haven't been this excited for a game in years. Even though it was only eight years ago that these two teams met for gold in Salt Lake, this game just seems more hyped and more important. There's a lot on the line, and I expect the Red and White to come through.
Canada wins 5-3, we set an Olympic record for most gold medals and we show the world this is still OUR game. GO CANADA.

Wearing my Don Cherry signed Team Canada jersey. This kind of situation is the only time it ever gets worn.
February 28 2010, 03:53PM
And now it's 14 gold medals...the most ever by any country at a winter olympic games...
I'd say own the podium is a resounding success
February 28 2010, 04:08PM
I'll say it, mad props to the American team!
They played good, made for an exciting game, made for an awesome ending and I for one am happy it went to OT for such an exciting win!
Props America, props!
Oh and... Suck it TLP :P
The Americans played outstanding. Had an outstanding tournament. Hats off to them.

I will first be seeking apologies from the following Oilers/Flames Nation commenters, who foolishly predicted a Canadian win.
1.Ender the Dragon, who said, "If (when) Canada beats the Americans in hockey..." WRONG
2.Phil, who noted, "And besides, all that really matters is the USA will get embarrassed in a few days by the absolutely dominant Canadian squad in mens hockey. Fools are gonna get crushed." RAFALSKI'D
3.GSC, who blabbed, "I just can't stand to see this kind of ethnocentric behavior. There's no reason for it, especially when it looks like USA Hockey will be an afterthought once more in Vancouver." INCORRECT
4.GSC (again), who chattered, "...and the strong possibility that Hockey Canada brings home another gold." DISAPPOINTED
5.Fellow Flames Nation contributor RossCreek, who blathered, "Sorry pal, but the USA battling for a bronze in men's hockey will be as good as it gets for you. Meanwhile, we up here in igloo-land will cherish our GOLD forever." DISCREDITED
What was that you were saying, TLP? Wrong? Incorrect? Discredited? Yes, yes you were. Karma's a bi+ch, ain't it?

Visnovsky reprimanded for anti-doping violations. Seems like it isnt as bad as it sounds, but man, can Oilers players please stop screwing up.
February 28 2010, 04:44PM
No time for this now...we're in the middle of a celebration here
Unless Visnovsky is from Mundare,AB, not our concern

LOL. You don't know how funny I think Mundare references are. Pure gold, IMO.
Like when all the new CSI's came out, my Dad said "what's next, CSI: Mundare?"
Someone needs to find TLP quickly. I want to taste his delicious, delicious tears.

Ron Wilson's exact quote: "Sometimes, the best team in the tournament doesn't win a gold medal."
Just another arrogant Yankee
How does that Crow taste TLP? My guess is he'll be too chicken to show his ugly Yank mug around the Oil Nation to admit how terribly wrong he was....that's okay we know where to find him although visiting Flames Nation makes my skin crawl...
Hope Kipper's melt down in the Semi-Finals doesn't lead to a post-Olympic Salo-esque career meltdown!!
~That would be terrible!~
February 28 2010, 06:05PM
Oh hey guys just checkin in since I've gotten bothered on Twitter and email.
Honestly, I'm really glad you guys got the Cinderella finish you deserved. Your scrappy team of journeymen won out over a heavily-favored American side, even if they did need overtime. Congrats on sticking with this team of knockaround guys through thick and thin.
David really can beat Goliath!
Alanis... shoulda figured.
Lookin quite hot, I might add. Is Ryan Reynolds still tappin'?
What about the Hip.
February 28 2010, 08:47PM
We kicked ass at these Olys and put on a great show in Vancouver. But I can't help wonder how showcasing a bunch of second-rate performers at the tail end of the show is upping our street cred around the world.
our french Bjork is hotter than Iceland's weird Bjork.
February 28 2010, 12:02PM
Dany Heatley will score twice.
Canada wins 4-3
Canada wins 7-3, someone unexpected with a hat rick, maybe Thornton.
Oh Man, I can't wait!!!! 40 more minutes!!! This has to be the most anticipated game ever!!!! Vancouver is gonna go off tonight!!! I wish I hadda gone....Go CANADA!!! I'm with you gregor, 5- 3 CANADA!!!!!!
Re: Miller - he did give up 3 against Canada, most vs. any team, and this is before Canada's forwards started to gel.
February 28 2010, 01:08PM
Let's update that medal count. Should be; 13, 7, 5
February 28 2010, 01:17PM
February 28 2010, 01:37PM
First 10 mins, Canada struggling to move pucks, poor passing and good checking from US.
Luongo looks wrose with the puck than Brodeur did.
It still bothers me that his name isnt spelt: Taves
Anyone catch grapes on NBC? was curious what he had to say, but to lazy to change the channel!
February 28 2010, 02:18PM
Canada's stretch pass attempts are getting annoying.
It still bothers me that his name isnt spelt: Taves
That would be Tays....there's no "v" sound in it
WOW!!! what a period! 20 minutes to go boys!!!!
February 28 2010, 02:50PM
"the US with good push back..."
I lol'd at that :P

Yeah, it should be. But I'm in kananaskis with no internet. I'll change it up as soon as I have teh internetz

I'm watching this game with an English announcer. It's like a soccer game, but with ice.
February 28 2010, 03:15PM
Can't help but notice that Pouliot isn't playing in this game but Parise is... Weird.
February 28 2010, 03:32PM
This is killing me
You could just feel that comming. I only have 2 fingernails left.
I'm with you rigger, that foring sucked. I'm picking Getzlaf with the ot winner.
I could feel it coming too Jake. Frick, couldn't hold on for the last few seconds eh? OT will be a nailbiter.
Ouch! The Canadian team looked like the Oilers in the last minute, allowing the tieing goal. What's wrong with Crosby? Looks like Kane is eating his breakfast, lunch and supper. And Ingla? Looks old, slow and out of his league at this level. In the last half of the third period USA was swarming around the Canadian's zone.
Doesn't look good, our boys look tired and playing on their heels.
February 28 2010, 03:36PM
I think I'm gonna throw up.
How does Canada recover from that??? I need some beta blockers.

My house seems like it's falling apart with plumbing problems. I have a leaky faucet in the bathtub that pours out hot water so, we started cutting the hot water off and using it only for baths, etc. Recently, when you turn on the cold water in the kitchen -- cold water pours out of the tub and stops once you cut the faucet off in the kitchen. The toilet in the main bathroom is inoperable -- it would stop up and the water would come back in the bowl almost spiling on the floor -- I have used a plunger and bought too different types of snakes but nothing works. I replaced the flapper valve system in the toile in the master bedroom and it works fine but, while I was working in the tank -- two of the screws that hold the tank to the bowl broke off (they were really rusty) -- I replaced the screws but, now we have a leak onto the floor from one of the screws -- if tha'ts not enough the skinny tube from the wall to the toilet is leaking water at the wall. I know I need to call a professional
plumber but, I am truly scared at the what the cost will be. Also, I bought a new toilet to replace the clogged one and I need this put in!!!! How long would these jobs take to complete? Could you take a guess and let me know how much I am looking forward to spending? It seems like the longer I wait to get these things done something else breaks down.... Thanks in advance. Angela

Skip to comments.CSPAN live feed: President Obama News Conference
Posted on 11/14/2012 10:37:50 AM PST by Jean S
He's lying if his ears are flapping.
Just sayin'.
Doesn't matter what he's saying. Who's running TOTUS?
Doesn't want to meddle in an investigation but he sure was quick to tell the Cambridge, MA police they were stupid for arresting his radical friend.
Talk Radio and I run to hit the mute button.
Everything out of this jerk's mouth is a lie. He's already raised taxes and healthcare costs on 100% of Americans with ObamaCare.
I"m trying to watch, but he's filibustering about taxes and now a question about immigration reform.
Did I miss a question on Benghazi?
Who's Ben Gazzy?
Can't watch, am listening at your link. Will have to clean up after just listening. Just heard what will this look like out of his mouth. They know.
This is the third time I can remember that he speaks from an annoying podium.
It works ... I had to turn it off.
Droning on and on about Dream Act kids. Blah.
He is an evil lying angry piece of crap.
He is covering all the topics he has chosen to be talked about. Carefully pre-selected questions from preselected reporters. (IMO)
He also is wearing his dark hair today — with just that hint of wise-man gray on the edges.
Chuck Todd has brown around his mouth.
I can't listen. I've only recently gotten to where I can look at his face. I would actually close out links that had his photo, that left me unable to read some articles.
He's going to "wait and see". . on the Ben Gazzara thing. . .Chuck seems to be okay with that
Wasn't he in "The Bridge at Remagen"
Did not he play a tv doctor back in the 60's??
Who's Ben Gazzy?
Dr. Kildare's other network opposition?
He has a mandate (NOT) by the American people to raise taxes on the wealthy, he is open to other ideas (NOT) and he said there is an ongoing investigation with Petraeus and that is about it.
Who's Ben Gazzy?
I think he thought it was fugazi, a fraud, just like him.
The press is horrid.
I concur with you. Selected ahead of time.
These reporters cannot ask a simple question that will provide additional information.
For example,
"When were you first informed that there were major potential issues around your head of the CIA, David Petreaus?"
That's great! Prefect.
It has nothing to do with freedom or American ideals.
It is of no interest because it is empty rhetoric and B.S. from the DEMS.
I'm breathless to hear what's on our dear leader's mind today.
I can't stand that show, either.. Guess I can go get that root canal I've been putting off ;-)
Just soldiers in Obamas service,
They left us here on our own.
This winter I hear the lying,
Four dead in Benghazi.
You gotta get help to us
Muzzies are blowing us up
Should have been here long ago.
What if you raised him
And found him dead in the street
How can you hide when you know?
You gotta get help to us
Muzzies are blowing us up
Should have been here long ago.
What if you raised him
And found him dead in the street
How can you hide when you know?
Just soldiers in Obamas service,

This winter I hear the lying,

Thanks but, I just cannot stand to listen to the Kenyan Marxist, especially four more years of his ****.
Love it. It's outrageous to go after the UN ambassador because she lied and\or is incompetence. Easy target he says.
She was acting on his orders and "presumably" on the intelligence he had at that time!
He just dared McCain and Linda to come after him!!!!!
Finally a decent question.
The rule in our house is to flip the channel when this P.O.S. comes on.
One. Life. To. Live!!
A reporter has him on record. He will put all information on what happened in Libya. Will wait only so long here.
Ed Henry's questions were equally lame and let Obama off the Benghazi hook.
That poem is written by a lady in Arizona on her Face Book page.
I'd have to check mine, to get her name.
He's a record lying!
Take a chill pill. This is leading political news and the MSM sure as heck won't dissect the lies the way FReepers will.
Did he just say he want's the response to hurricane sandy to be a model for how the fed gubment works?!
True. Cannot quote him if he uses certain words. Swore those words out of vocabulary.
It's obvious by his performance at this briefing that Great Leader's Achilles's heel is Benghazi. He can be hamstrung and the Left derailed, if only for a sort time, if people will only focus and demand answers on Benghazi.
Henry got his warning last week by being barred from a few events.
I don't watch these things...they are all given areas in which to ask questions and what not to ask. If they ask the wrong one they will either be barred forever or if it really is designed to make the ass look bad, they have a vaporizer pointed at the press and the dope gets zapped.
Someone asked Zero about sending Susan Rice out to speak about the attack (I did not hear the question, so can't say how it was worded).
Obama answered with an obviously pre-programmed, recycled "War on Women" theme:
"If you're gonna attack someone, attack me, not Susan Rice." [paraphrased]
AND this gem:
"People are attacking Susan Rice because they think she's an EASY TARGET." [paraphrased -- but he did use those exact words, "easy target"]
Ain't going to resolve ONE single issue.
They now have ALL the power and will do everything they ever wanted to do and there is not a single thing your rhetoric will accomplish.
Belittle me all you want but it is not going to get your country back.
FWIW, the Dow Jones is currently taking a nose dive.
Who was the female reporter on the front row nearly fellating him? She was beaming with a look of adoration, congratulating him, and asked him some softball about Iran that allowed him to go off on aother Hugo/Castro soliliquy.
The guy before her was pretty good. He asked specifically what orders Obama gave and what actions he took during the attack. Obama looked angry and scared.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Rep. Jim Matheson visited Emery County recently to meet with the county commissioners and serve dinner at the Fair lamb fry. The congressman began with an explanation of his actions on the recent vote concerning the RS-2477 situation. He explained that he had introduced a substitute amendment but was ruled out of order because the introduction was past the deadline. "This amendment is not a solution, but a stop gap to ease some private property issues and those issues need to be addressed," said Matheson.
Rep. Matheson explained that this memorandum of understanding will probably move forward into litigation. When the voting was complete, nobody came away happy, both sides were very upset. "We know what roads there are, let's designate them and move on," said the congressman.
Commissioner Ira Hatch expressed his appreciation of Matheson and encouraged both sides to keep the dialogue open and honest. Hatch also addressed another issue facing Emery County at the time. "The wild and scenic rivers issue has the potential to be a wolf in sheep's clothing," said Hatch. "Right now we are in the planning stages and these issues need to be addressed now. The forest service has been very helpful, but we do not have a successful relationship with the Bureau of Land Management," Hatch said. He told the congressman that the county does not need more people involved, but it needs good judgment to be used now.
"These rivers are our lifeblood in Emery County. The forest service recognizes that. We have no problem if they (the rivers) meet the criteria, but very few of our waterways meet that," said Hatch. Rep. Matheson informed Commissioner Hatch that he is very interested and will learn more about the issue so he can be of more help to the county.
Commissioner Hatch proceeded to brief the congressman on the water situation at Electric Lake. This situation effects three counties along with Arch Coal and PacifiCorp. A detailed study is available and plans were made to meet in the future to discuss this issue in depth.
Rep. Matheson informed the commissioners that it is his feeling that coal fired power plants for energy supply are where investment needs to be made. "Coal is Utah's most abundant resource and will be for many lifetimes. Natural gas prices are becoming too high and serious investment and interest in the coal fired plants is being contemplated." said Matheson.
Commissioner Hatch then turned the discussion to SR 6. His concerns about the highway being the most dangerous road in the state. "It is a major connecting highway between Denver and Salt Lake and it is only two lanes," said Hatch. "We realize that a lot of time and money have already been spent, but there remains a great need. Any consideration at this point would be appreciated," said Hatch.
Rep. Matheson responded by saying, "We need to make progress on SR 6, we know it is a major trucking route, but the highway bill is stalled, because nobody knows where to get the amount of money needed for the country's highways. Big roads means big expense and it just isn't there."
Commissioner Hatch alerted the congressman to the beetle killed spruce trees in the forests. "We are devastated now, something has got to be done. Our resource is disappearing. There are some options and those need to be explored now. We realize the need for good conservation practices and good management for all concerned user groups," Hatch said.
"The forest bill is coming soon and that will help a lot," said Matheson.
Commissioner Gary Kofford revisited the RS-2477 issue and informed the congressman that a staffer from his office should be at the public lands council meetings. "Emery County was at the forefront of the issue with the formation of the public lands council and that group of people are the most knowledgable around concerning the public lands and the roads," said Kofford. "We need to get this issue resolved so as commissioners, we can get on with the business of serving Emery County. Our resources could be used better other places. We need to decide what to do with the San Rafael and do it," Kofford said.
Commissioner Kofford informed the group that a movement is circulating now to abandon the current squabbles and go back to the 1992 arrangement and start the whole process over. "Somewhere all the groups involved need to come to an agreement," said Kofford.
Rep. Matheson said, "I think the disparate numbers need to come together. In Congress, it is easier to defeat something than to pass it. We need a consensus. All the stakeholders need to buy in."
Mike Reberg, Rep. Matheson's state director informed the commissioners that a search is underway to find a representative to cover Eastern Utah and attend all the pertinent meetings to keep the congressman up to date on the happenings in his district.
As the meeting concluded, Rep. Matheson and the Emery County Commissioners agreed to keep the lines of communication open, keep each party informed and to do all possible to help each party with the jobs at hand.

ETSU football field location discussed
Two possible locations for field
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. - East Tennessee State University has made another step towards a new football stadium.
School officials tell us they've picked two different possible locations for the stadium but they haven't made a final decision yet.
They are considering putting the stadium where the practice soccer fields are or near the facilities management building, said ETSU spokesperson Joe Smith.
The students told us Wednesday they're split on where they want it. "I'd prefer having it up there by the recycling building," said Jacob Carrier, a senior at ETSU. "As far as the recycling facility, move it somewhere else."
The traffic is a major reason Carrier thinks the facilities management building area might be a better location. "I think maybe up here where this recycling building is [would work], just because you already have the parking lot here," he told us.
Carrier said that putting the stadium near the facilities management building would also put it closer to the main hub of student life. "This right here is kind of the main strip of campus," Carrier told us. "If you think about it, you've got the dorms and the Culp Center, which is a big building as far as a hangout for students."
Mandy Wilcox, a freshman at ETSU, agrees traffic will be hectic if the stadium is built at the practice fields, but she told us the actual area there would be better for the stadium. "I think the football field would be better if it was at the practice soccer fields because it's kind of a bigger area and there would be more space," Wilcox told us.
In the past, ETSU officials have told us one of the problems with the practice soccer fields is the potential for flooding.
The next step in the process is analyzing those risks. ETSU spokesperson Joe Smith told us they are looking at the water table and bedrock at both spots, to see which is better to build on and to see which spot could flood easier. Smith told us the company designing the stadium is doing the analysis. The company will also look at the cost of building in both places, he said.
Cody Riner, a senior at ETSU, told us the new stadium will get people excited about the football program again no matter where it is located. "I feel like if they make a new stadium, still have a lot of seats, just make it closer together and it'll be more morale and hype about it. That way people will be excited to go to the games instead of going into that big Mini-Dome," said Riner.
The school has not said when they will make a final decision.
ETSU tells us the project will be paid for by state funds and student facility fees.

Just my style
"I love these shoes! The low heel is so classy, and the v-shape reveals just the right amount of toe cleavage. These are very sexy shoes even though they aren't sky high. I did get really bad blisters the first time wearing them, but I just need to break them in. They fit perfectly. I definitely recommend these!"

"I got mine for mustard yellow. I love the color, heel height, and great cushioning from the insole. However the shoe is not comfortable. It pinches in the front and lacks side support, so that even though the shoe is true to my size, my feet kept on sliding forward, cramping my toes and leaving a lot of room at my heel. I do not recommend this pair. I wish I can keep them but I have to return them."

shoe karma for sure
"I have foot & back problems; I cant wear any heel over 2 inches, so usually I stick to my main brands: Aerosoles, Naturalizer, LifeStride, Easy Spirit, etc. comfort is important, but I also must consider price. But every once I a while a shoe captures my attention & I cant resist. These are one of them. Id search for shoes with lower heels & these kept coming up in my search. I had a DSW gift card, so I got them. Oh, when I opened the box they looked even cuter than on the website! So pretty, & just the right amount of pink enough to know they are pink, but not too much to make you look like a schoolgirl.Yes, theyre not quite as comfortable as the comfort shoes, but they more than make up for it in style!"

|Office of Community
Oriented Policing Services
U.S. Department of Justice
For Immediate ReleaseMonday, March 11, 2002
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Department of Justice Office of Community Oriented Policing Services (COPS) today announced plans for a national community policing conference this summer. Community Policing Keeps America Safe will be held here on July 14-17, and is expected to attract 1000 police chiefs, sheriffs, and other community policing practitioners.
Community policing is police and communities working together to proactively address crime and the causes of crime, and is widely credited with reducing crime rates to record level lows in many regions of the country throughout the 1990's. In fact, a recent study found that COPS grants awarded to law enforcement agencies to hire officers to practice community policing resulted in a reduction of 5.26 violent crimes and 21.63 property crimes per 100,000 citizens for each grant dollar awarded. In these cities, COPS innovative community policing grants contributed to a decline of 12.93 violent crimes and 45.53 property crimes per 100,000 residents for each grant dollar awarded.
The conference will provide attendees with training and insight on a variety of issues that impact community policing for state and local law enforcement agencies. Conference sessions will include workshops on key community policing subjects such as; the role of community policing in homeland security; organizational changes needed in law enforcement agencies to get the most out of their community policing initiatives; developing effective community-police partnerships; the role of technology in maintaining community safety; and law enforcement ethics and integrity.
"Currently 86 percent of the nation's population is served by a law enforcement agency practicing community policing," said COPS Director Carl R. Peed. "Community Policing is constantly evolving, and more and more law enforcement agencies are adopting community policing because it has proven to be an effective crime fighting strategy that helps build trust between the community and police. COPS is pleased to bring police and sheriffs from across the country together to learn from each other and to become even more familiar with the many aspects of community policing."
Law enforcement practitioners may attend the conference at no-cost. However, attendance is limited to the first 1000 registrants. To request registration materials or to be notified about the availability of on-line registration, contact the Community Policing Consortium at: [toll- free] 877.561.5577 or 202.833.0196; [E-mail] firstname.lastname@example.com.

"Brought this rain shoe to wear in the wet snow or rain. Love it brought a size 9 that's my size but the shoe runs slightly big if I wear a sock it will be a perfect fit. Over all I love the shoe the bottom sole is darker brown which I love it more rather than the light color sole on the picture. Highly recommend if you don't feel like wearing the taller boot."

Handsome Family's Alter-Ego To Play Secret Show New Year's Eve at The Press Club
15 dollar donation for the night of your life
By Geoffrey Plant [ Mon Dec 30 2013 10:45 PM ]
With a name like The Albuquerque Press Club, one might think this is an exclusive venue and only open to vetted members. On occasion this may be true, but this New Year's Eve is among the more interesting exceptions to this misconception. What finer place to witness the nocturnal arrival of 2014 than a rambling historic log mansion atop a hill? A rambling hilltop mansion (with full bar) hosting celebrated psychedelic-
The Parlour Trio plays authentic versions of early 20th century "parlour music" -the kind of songs that were sold in a format so unlike MP3s it boggles the 21st century mind. We're talking sheet music, folks. Buy the song, play it on your own instrument, with your own voice. Player Brett Sparks guarantees "sentimental ballads, folk melodies, old tyme hymnody, and rollicking cakewalks." -Anyone who has seen The Handsome Family perform knows they can also tell a joke or three, so really we're getting close to a vaudeville revival if anyone can dance or juggle. Singer and banjoist Rennie Sparks and Handsome Family band player Dave Gutierrez round out the trio. Not to be missed.
This is a mansion with many rooms, however. Also on the bill are the lovely singer/songwriter duo Next Three Miles, who offer beautiful harmonies and guitar chops to spare. On top of the pretty tunes, Joe and Erin are not unpleasing to look at, folks.
BaBa. A banjo. A tuba. They're avante garde, but not pretentious or seriously difficult, rather more groovy actually. Tubaman was in The Lone Ranger film. C'mon!
Quality Retreads will slake your thirst for sad traditional as well as boisterous drunk Irish songs and any longing you may have to see The Pogues (which ain't gonna happen.) Can't think of a better group to get drunk with on New Year's Eve.
One last thing. The Albuquerque Press Club resides in a truly unique and antique Albuquerque abode. Recently, there has been a drive to complete some necessary repairs to the joint. Check out The Press Club website and consider pitching in.
Show starts at 8pm on December 31st, 2013.

Buy Expanding U.S. Study Abroad in the Arab World
This fourth White Paper in IIE's study abroad capacity research series is based on a workshop that took place in Ifrane, Morocco in March 2008. The Hollings Center for International Dialogue and the Institute of International Education convened this workshop at Al Akhawayn University in Ifrane.
Its purpose was to examine the issues that will arise as more U.S. students seek to study in the region. Is there enough capacity in the region to accommodate more students? Are there opportunities in countries and universities that are currently under-utilized? What challenges will U.S. and Arab world educators need to address to accommodate more young Americans studying in the region?
About IIE's Meeting America's Global Education Challenge White Paper Series
Through a series of surveys and dialogs, the Institute of International Education in 2007 launched a new policy research initiative to address the issue of capacity abroad (especially in non-traditional destinations) to host a greatly increased number of U.S. students, and to assure that U.S. campuses have the resources and structures available to prepare and send them.
This IIE initiative, Meeting America's Global Education Challenge, offers educators and policymakers focused data and information on current capabilities and future capacity, as well as recommendations for action to maximize resources and pave the way for substantial study abroad growth.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff Writer
Emery Town has been considering an ATV ordinance for several months and during the Oct. 12 meeting, the council adopted an ordinance for the town. Now, the residents will be responsible for making themselves aware of the ordinance and educating the young people of the rules of the road.
Mayor Michael Williams suggested the need for a class to teach the young ATVers in Emery about safety awareness. The time and place for the instruction will be set in the near future.
The ordinance reads: Whereas, on Oct. 12, 2004, the town council met in regular session to consider, among other things, passing an ordinance for the regulation of Off Highway Vehicle (OHV) use in the town limits.
Whereas, after careful consideration , the Council has determined that it is in the best interest of the health, safety and welfare of the citizens of Emery Town to adopt an ordinance with respect to OHV use.
Now, therefore, be it ordained by the Emery Town Council that the following be adopted as an ordinance of Emery Town.
Traffic code adopted by reference:
A. Except insofar as the application thereof is clearly impractical or inappropriate, in view of the context of purposes or penalty as provide all of the definitions, requirements, regulations, prohibitions, provisions and sections of the Utah Traffic Code (title 41) , as amended, are hereby adopted by Emery Town.
B. Adoption of Off Highway Vehicle Act, Chapter 22 of title 41, of the Utah Code Annotated 1953, as it applies to off highway vehicles shall constitute the town ordinance.
Designation of OHV routes.
A. All streets within the town of Emery are designated as permissible routes for the use of OHVs.
B. The use of above designated routes by OHVs shall be exclusively for the purpose of accessing OHV trails or roadways.
This ordinance, assigned Ordinance No. 10-12-04, shall take effect immediately.
Many residents were present to state their opinions concerning the ordinance. One citizen stated his opposition to opening all roads in Emery. It was his opinion that only certain streets should be open. The discussion concluded that every resident has the right to access off highway trails and roads and therefore all Emery roads should be open.
Another concern by the resident was that under Utah law, children ages 8-15 can operate an OHV. He stated that many young people are not aware of the road signs and regulations. Mayor Williams again stressed the need to hold educational sessions to make the young people aware of the rules of the roads.
Still another resident stated that no one has been hurt so far. His question was "What does it hurt to let the kids ride on the roads?" Mayor Williams said the point of this ordinance is to educate the public and prevent the possibly of anyone getting injured.
Mayor Williams also stated that now the ordinance is in force, it is the responsibility of parents to educate their own children, and it is the responsibility of all the residents of Emery to notify the sheriff's office if anyone is seen in violation of the ordinance. This ordinance is for everyone's health and safety.
Councilman Don Riddle stated that parents should take some responsibility to teach their children about the dangers of the roads. "A person has no business on a machine if they disregard street signs," he said.
Prior to the adoption of the ordinance, several changes were discussed. One of the changes was the need to restrict the number of riders on an ATV. Many citizens felt that more than two people on a machine was a very dangerous situation. Others felt that underage drivers should be in direct supervision of the parents. Councilperson Glenys Sitterud requested that the ordinance be passed as it stands and any needed changes can be made later. The council was of the general opinion that it is the responsibility and obligation of the residents of Emery to report and document violations of the ordinance.
Concerning another issue facing Emery Town, Mayor Williams explained that Emery Town charges less than any other town for building permits. He stated that the cost of providing a building inspector is many times more than is recouped by the county from the building permit revenue.
"As of Jan. 1, 2005, the county will be forced to cease providing a building inspector if the cities and towns in Emery County do not raise the cost of building permits. If each town adopts the suggested scale from the International Building Organization and the county commissioners, the building inspector will be able to remain. I see no other way than to agree to their suggestion," said Mayor Williams. The council approved to accept the IBO fee structure.
Councilman Eric Anderson informed the council that a $15,000 grant is available from the Emery Recreation District. The application must be filled out and returned before November.
Councilperson Sitterud announced that on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11, the town will host a ceremony to install the plaque with the Emery Veterans names.

Skip to comments.Sun may soon have four poles, say researchers (Sunspot activity resembles the Maunder Minimum.)
Posted on 04/22/2012 4:05:43 PM PDT by neverdem
The sun may be entering a period of reduced activity that could result in lower temperatures on Earth, according to Japanese researchers.
Officials of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the Riken research foundation said on April 19 that the activity of sunspots appeared to resemble a 70-year period in the 17th century in which Londons Thames froze over and cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual in Kyoto.
In that era, known as the Maunder Minimum, temperatures are estimated to have been about 2.5 degrees lower than in the second half of the 20th century.
The Japanese study found that the trend of current sunspot activity is similar to records from that period.
The researchers also found signs of unusual magnetic changes in the sun. Normally, the suns magnetic field flips about once every 11 years. In 2001, the suns magnetic north pole, which was in the northern hemisphere, flipped to the south.
While scientists had predicted that the next flip would begin from May 2013, the solar observation satellite Hinode found that the north pole of the sun had started flipping about a year earlier than expected. There was no noticeable change in the south pole.
If that trend continues, the north pole could complete its flip in May 2012 but create a four-pole magnetic structure in the sun, with two new poles created in the vicinity of the equator of our closest star.
Note in the replies that of the poor English cleric near the top.
Czcibor,Czeslaw,Dariusz & Grzegorz???
How bad can it be?
Keep your tires inflated - that should ward off any ill effects.
Czcibor,Czeslaw,Dariusz & Grzegorz???
Those darned Poles. Didn't they join the Kyoto Accord thingamabob?
Don't forget to get a tune-up too!
Quad polar dissorder?
Well, then, thank goodness for global warming, eh?
The sun is a tangled magnetic mass of multiple poles.
Solar cycle 24 has definitely been doing odd things. It's looking more and more like it's going to be a shallow cycle. Not Maunder minimum (where sunspot activity ceased for decades), but maybe a Dalton-type Minimum.
four-pole magnetic structureWhy not n+1 poles
an infinite number of poles
>>The sun is a tangled magnetic mass of multiple poles.
Just like Warsaw.
You'll find a mass of poles at any Catholic church in Warsaw.
The scientific consensus is that CO2 heats the earth, not the sun.
Get with the program, you idiots.
It's just another mimic Maunder
Pole moves on the Sun there
Cause our rain & thunder
So we don't have to wonder,
It's just another mimic Maunder...
If nobama had a sun, it would look like this.
Bush's fault.
Isn't 3rd from the left Thaddeus Kosciuzsko?
That's funny. Gonna show it to Mr. Married21.
3rd from the left is Thaddeus Kosciuzsko?
I thought it was Michael Jackson.
They landed at night.
Did you know the Sun burns more energy in one second than mankind has spent since the first democaveman found fire in a lightning-struck tree and took it back to his fellow hominids?
I either read that somewhere, or just made it up.
No, it's just the opposite. We need to lower the tire pressure and everyone buy an SUV. We need some warmin' goin' on.
Did a search on "algore frozen". :-)
"Al Gore...Mr Al Gore...please pick up the white courtesy phone."
Wish it were a Sunday
The sun is a tangled magnetic mass of multiple poles.
This has that George W. Bush's fingerprints all over it!!!
Is the sun cooler during a shallow cycle?
Thank you.
Paderewski, Chopin, Kociuzsko, & Pope John Paul II
Quick! Burn a Tire.
Yeah, I read that too...we are so screwed, either the Obommer gets in or we git Mitts or the sun blows up...dang.
As if 40 million Poles on earth wasn't enough!
that's a fact.
Only if you also eat your peas. Pea plants fix nitrogen (which I didn't even know was broken!) so that they can convert more CO^2 into O^2 + C...which is why peas always carbonize when you let the pot boil dry.
That carbon from the carbonized peas can then be recovered (didn't really know that carbon was upholstered, let alone needed a new covering, either) to make more tires to be inflated with the now-repaired nitrogen.
I am amazed everyday at what I can learn & share just by reading Free Republic...it is well worth a small monthly donation!
The theory is that the sunspot level is an indicator of the strength of the solar magnetic field. When the solar field is strong, the earth is better shielded from cosmic ray particles (high velocity charged particles). Higher levels of cosmic ray particles promote cloud formation, resulting is less solar heating of the ground. So low sunspot level = low solar magnetic field = more clouds = lower temperatures.
Of course the whole notion is ridiculous, since everybody knows that the Earth's temperature is solely determined by the CO2 level.
Still there is that pesky correlation, where the Maunder Minimum of 1650-1700 coincided with the Little Ice Age, and similar cool effects happening during the Dalton Minimum, but that's just crazy talk.

Hi eveybody,
this is my first time here on the forum.. I just wanted to let you know something interesting that I found reading for the second time all Naruto's chapter.
In chapter 145 Kisame, after seeing Sasuke for the first time, tells:
This is the second time I've seen another sharingan
When was the first time?
This statement led me to some conclusions..
Kisame met Madara and, consequently, he knows who Toby is in reality but, at the same time, he acts like he doesn't.
But in chapter 364 Itachi too admits that he's not the only Uchiha alive (excet for him and Sasuke).
Now you are the only one in the Uchiha clan.
He's not dead and moreover..
Maybe Itachi too knows about Madara/Tobi/whoever else...
What do you think about??

Eleanor Ghey, project curator, British Museum
Hoards of Roman coins from later in the third century AD are the most common sort of coin hoards we see at the British Museum but the Beau Street Hoard is very unusual. When I saw the X-ray of the hoard I was very excited to see what looked like clearly separate bags of coins deposited in a group – normally coins are found in a pot or in a hole in the ground together in one lump. Here we have at least six (and probably more) groups of coins – several hoards in one! It was even more exciting to learn that it was going to be possible for my colleague Julia Tubman to isolate the groups.
It raises all sorts of questions. Do the bags contain the same sorts of coins or different ones? Do they each contain the same amount in Roman money or in weight of metal? Are they all coins that were circulating at the same date or are they deposits of coins from different time-periods gathered together at a later date for re-burial?
It is already possible to start to speculate about the contents of the hoard from the few coins that have been removed from the block (although it may still hold surprises). The coins are mostly of the denomination known as a 'radiate' (from the spiky crown the emperor wears on the obverse (front) of the coin).
This type of coin first appears in the early third century AD and at the time was of a value double that of the denarius (the main silver coin in the earlier years of the Roman Empire). Initially, like the denarius this was a silver coin. Gradually over time the silver content of the radiate was reduced, until (by the 270s AD) they were almost entirely base metal (copper alloy) and became smaller in size.
The first coins Julia removed from the block were large and silvery in appearance (once cleaned) and came mostly from the first half of the third century AD. The earliest coin was a denarius of the emperor Septimius Severus (ruled AD 193-211) and the latest were coins of the emperor Gallienus and his wife, Salonina, dated to the AD 260s. This would be fairly typical for the contents of a hoard buried in the AD 260s.
However, when the hoard was first discovered, a sample of coins taken from another area of the block was quite different in nature. These were the smaller, more coppery radiates of the AD 270s (the most common type of coins we find in hoards from the 270s to 290s). This suggests that we may be dealing with bags containing different groups of coins, possibly gathered together at different times or sorted before burial.
Was this a secure store for bags of money that was added to gradually by one or more people over a fairly long period of time? It seems like an official store of money, organised into bags and purposely concealed in a place designed for that purpose. It was certainly a large amount of money (although we don't have data for the later third century, pay scales for legionary soldiers in the AD 230s suggest they would have received about two and a half of these coins as a day's wage) and it could have been looked after by an individual with authority.
It is rare to find hoards in Roman town centres. Perhaps it belonged to a local business in what was a busy town centre (deposited in a safe place in the way we leave money at the bank today). Why was it left for the archaeologists to find and not recovered by its owner?
Was there any connection with the nearby temple and sacred spring? We know that temples had treasuries; they may have periodically emptied out some of the coins thrown into the spring.
We are hoping that results from the archaeological excavation of the findspot will shed further light on this puzzle.

Castro's speech will call for investment in future generations
Updated 12:56 am, Monday, September 3, 2012
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In a preview of his speech to the Democratic National Convention, San Antonio Mayor Julián Castro said Sunday that he would tout the need for investment in future generations to maintain the country's economic strength.
Castro, tapped by President Barack Obama to deliver the keynote address, said he would "talk about what is important for tomorrow" and draw comparisons in policies championed by Obama and those of his Republican rival, former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney.
Romney pledged last week to create 12 million jobs to boost the economy.
Castro said he would accentuate the need to invest in future generations, not just "the wealthy few."
"I'm going to be talking to the American people as a whole, talking about some of the more important issues. ... in this election cycle," Castro told reporters at the Charlotte Convention Center.
Castro will speak to the 46th Democratic National Convention on Tuesday.
He said he would lay out the need to stay with the president's policies "so we can maintain our status as the land of opportunity in the world."

A Prospectus Book Update
Basketball Prospectus
Ah, the start of September, where a young man's thoughts can't help but drift to ... basketball? Oh, we're following the start of that other sport with the pigskin, but at Basketball Prospectus it's always basketball season. We're starting to think about the upcoming season and we hope you are too, which is why we wanted to offer an update on the status of our annual books.
As you may have noticed, a month before training camps are scheduled to open, we still don't know when or even if the NBA will be back to work. As a result, we also don't know when you'll see a Pro Basketball Prospectus 2011-12 While work is already under way on what is tentatively scheduled to be this year's book, we can't very well release an annual about a season that doesn't happen.
Right now, our plan is to follow a similar playbook to the one used by our colleagues and friends at Football Outsiders. At the conclusion of the NFL Lockout, they hustled to update rosters and player comments before releasing the latest edition of the Football Outsiders Almanac a little later than usual but well before the start of the regular season. We hope to do something similar and will keep you up to date on that timeline as it takes shape.
Thanks for your patience as we deal with a scenario that is new for most all of us. After all, during the 1998 lockout, Kevin didn't yet have an email address, let alone a Twitter account.
Kevin Pelton and Bradford Doolittle
Fortunately the upcoming college season is a little more definite. There will be one, and so there will of course be a College Basketball Prospectus 2011-12. This marks our fourth year of trumpeting that ours is the "essential" guide to the men's college basketball season. To live up to such a lofty adjective while previewing every team in Division I (even the independents!), we've called a meeting of the five tempo-free families: Ken Pomeroy, Kevin Pelton, Drew Cannon, John Ezekowitz, Asher Fusco, Dan Hanner, Mike Portscheller, Josh Reed ... Whatever their day jobs may be and wherever else they may write, this legendary gang somehow eludes the paparazzi and gets together each fall to bring you the definitive reality-based and hype-free preview of the upcoming season.
This year's book will include:
Watch this space for updates on our anticipated release date. See you in the fall!

Funny how easy it is to start a season on time when the players can't negotiate their compensation.

Skip to comments.NBC/WSJ poll: Obama Approval Sinks to New Low (Personal approval under water at 41%)
Posted on 10/30/2013 3:47:21 PM PDT by kristinn
President Barack Obamas approval rating has declined to an all-time low as public frustration with Washington and pessimism about the nations direction continue to grow, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
Just 42 percent approve of the presidents job performance, which is down five points from earlier this month. By comparison, 51 percent disapprove of his job in office -- tied for his all-time high.
The NBC/WSJ pollsters argue that no single reason explains Obamas lower poll standing. Rather, they attribute it to the accumulation of setbacks since the summer -- allegations of spying by the National Security Agency, the debate over Syrias chemical weapons, the government shutdown and now intense scrutiny over the problems associated with the health care laws federal website and its overall implementation.
Read the full poll here (.pdf)
Those events have combined to erase some of the advantage the president gained with polls showing most Americans blame congressional Republicans for the shutdown.
And for the first time in the survey, even Obamas personal ratings are upside-down, with 41 percent viewing him a favorable light and 45 percent viewing him negatively.
(Excerpt) Read more at firstread.nbcnews.com ...
The press must be spotting him 30 points...
Gosh, didn't everyone assure us that Barry "won" the government shutdown?
That a-hat needs to RESIGN.
Not low enough!
Ted Cruz won.
People don't like spending hours watching 404 error messages, having their insurance cancelled, and finding that their disposable income was just disposed of on insurance price increases.
"The press must be spotting him 30 points..."
My initial thought as well. How on earth could 41% still love the POS?
Hope it sinks to the bottom of Davey Jone's Locker.
Careful folks. This is coming from Enemedia.
A likely scenario is the Marxist Progressive Communist Leftists (MPCL) of the Enemedia recognize that Ø has now a limited shelf life, and expires in 3 years. They are mindful of engineering an electorate mindset that, for an office that will be basically an "empty seat", can be fixed with the next MPCL 'Rat that runs for POTUS.
Its a shame that 41 percent of this country are so far up Obama's ass with love that they will never see the forest through the trees..that fake smile, phony through and through, but they still worship the ground that Commie walks on
NBC poll = 31% in all liklihood. At best.
Over sampled democrats with no likely voter screen. Maybe Cuccinelli will beat McAuliffe after all.
I'd wager it would be more like 30% if the RINOs weren't disgusting back-stabbing saboteurs only interested in profit for their globalist paymasters.
OMG! I can't believe we have a Marxist as President!!!"
"The press must be spotting him 30 points..."
We hope that is the case, but America is still full of idiots, as proven by the Commie's reelection.
Marxist education and Marxist media have destroyed America.
The Communist knew the keys to takeover.
It should be at zero.
He should be at negative 8.
"disposable income was just disposed of on insurance price increases."
also there disposable income is spent paying for other peoples health insurance who don't even make an income.
How could 41% support this vile, lying piece of demon flesh? Talk about low information voter—try completely brain washed, checked out idiot voter.
13% of the population is black.
15% of the population is liberal moonbats
13% of the population is ridden with white guilt.
That girl is a brainwashed, compliant idiot.
30% of Americans are full on communist.
Every poll has that core of hard leftists.
20% are commies
15% are blacks
= 35% floor that it's nearly impossible for a black democrat to go below.
Basically he has lost nearly everyone he can lose.
YESSSS!!!!! Reason to CELEBRATE!!!!!!
You left out single white women with children.
even that group will listen when things get bad enough, but blacks that are blinded by their racism and commies who love any and all things commie that the democrats push will never leave him
Everyone but Ann Coulter and me forgets that 19% of young black men voted for Mitt Romney in 2012.
A brain dead moron, what more can be said..guess she didnt get her premium bill in the mail..or she's here illegally and gets freebies from the Govt so she doesn't care
Speaking of RINOS...Winthrop Poll: SC Gov. Haley up slightly, US Sen. Graham falls again
Read more here: http://www.thestate.com/2013/10/30/3066211/october-winthrop-poll-released.html#storylink=cpy
Why in the heck isn't it 14%? His approval rating has never failed to amaze me. 47% idiots. Or more.
You keep citing that election but I notice you never mention fraud. Did you manage to get through the entire electoral cycle w/o reading a single report on massive, widespread fraud?
Watch everyone's Eeyore faces when Mc Cauiffe wins Virginia by 500 strategically needed votes.
From your mouth to God's ears. We haven't given up here in Virginia.
IOW - Obama has sunk to a new low.
You are dead on. The Liberal Party cheats at levels unimaginable even a decade ago, and the Liberal Lite party says nothing. Dems are outright stealing elections & not even bothering to hide it any more. The GOP is silent. Maybe Cruz will speak up about it. He's really our only hope.
{^) Yeah, but ... she's a kid. She's a dumb sheep kid who adopts a pre-determined template with the rest of the cool kids. She's young and inexperienced. She may well look back on that pic in 30 years the same way a lot now-conservative baby boomers look back at themselves marching with all the hipsters in the anti-war movement: with a wince of pain for being such a dope!
She's a kid. The ones with no excuses are the older folks who should have figured it out by now, those are the real idiots.
Very wise young men. Thanks for the info.
That 41% approval would be coming for the parasites that never worked a day in their lives and under the expanded eligibility now get free medicaid insurance.
Now you get free health care benefits for being a crack whore, corner drug dealer, life time "professional Student" , illegal invader and any other dredge of society.
41% are the perpetual free stuff takers who have no intention of ever looking for a job.
"You keep citing that election but I notice you never mention fraud."
Oh, I am very familiar with the fraud. The left has always used fraud, but that does not explain the idiotic support that Obama has. Even today, while it is down, Obumbo has way too much approval, in spite of his America destroying actions. Why is that?
It's ok. After hitlery is elected all will be well.
/s (/s only for the all is well comment)
The country is infested with some 30-35% of idiots that will believe and worship this jackass no matter what he says or does. Until it gets below 35%, he will sail on like the king that he has declared himself that he is.
Talked to a Mexican-American guy about Obama today. He brought up the subject. He said "is there any way we can fire this guy?" He's completely disgusted. "Where are the jobs? The good jobs?"
Down to 41%?? Lol he just keeps getting stronger,we'll know he's in full control when he hits the goose egg
Few things are more irrelevant than Obama's "approval rating". So long as he has the support of the "powers that be" he will continue to do as he pleases. The American people can't figure out what is happening.

Comments: Best finesse craw, Used this little gem on a zappu mustang head & tore up the smallmouth at one of the few lakes we have here in Texas that have brownies. The claws have a sick action and stand up at rest.

Comments: These make awesome jig trailers, just the right amount of bulk on the body and the claws kick like a twin tail when you hop it.
Comments: This a great compact flipping/punching bait. Match it with a 1.5 reins tungsten and youre ready to roll. Wore em out on the Big O

From: Joe: Westland, MI
Comments: sick little finesse craw! great for light texas rigging, or on the back of a finesse jig. Next time out on the water il have to put one of these bad boys on the drop shot and see how that works out. today i caught a crappie, a couple of dinks, and a 2.5 lber! great bait!

Comments: These make an excellent finesse jig trailer, this bait undulates with every movement of the rod tip. My favorite part of this bait is that the claws are extremely buoyant making them stand straight up when the bait is not moving. The other cool part about this is that when it contacts something solid like a rock or stump, it vibrates. Give these a try when you need to fish a jig in a high pressured area, you wonÕt be disappointed!

Comments: Cool little bait. Works alright and caught a few fish on it, but for nearly a dollar a bait they aren't good enough for me to buy more. I'll stick with a Sweet Beaver.
