Elmo Town met in their monthly council meeting on June 9. A public hearing was held to discuss the town budget. The mayor, Kirt Rasmussen and council members Stoney Jensen, Ryan Jensen, Caleen Wilcox and Clark Atwood discussed ways to cut the budget so it would balance. An estimated shortfall of $11,000 in the budget was looked at and the ways to bring this amount down. It was decided to budget $5,000 for Horse and Buggy Days instead of the originally budgeted $7,400. It was determined $5,000 could come out of the road fund. Truck maintenance was reduced from $8,000 to $3,000. Money will be taken from the cemetery perpetual care fund for upkeep. The remainder of the money to balance the budget will come from the general fund. The town budget is $395,894.70 Expected revenues with the additions from the perpetual care fund and the administrative fund will be enough to balance the budget.
The council came out of the public hearing and approved the 2011 fiscal year budget.
The council looked over some drawings of an eagle scout project Chet Funk is planning for the Elmo Cemetery. He will be placing two benches in the cemetery. The council approved a donation to this project.
Several Elmo residents were on hand to discuss a letter delivered to their homes earlier in the day. The letter said no watering of lawns or pastures until further notice. "The canal company is having problems with their diversion dams into their pipeline. As a result the water going into the Elmo secondary pond will be reduced. Let's all work together and conserve the water in the pond to keep our gardens alive. The lawns will green up when the problem is fixed. Please turn off your automatic sprinklers. Those caught watering lawns or pastures will be given one warning and then your secondary water will be shut off until the problem is fixed, you will then be charged a $50 turn on fee. Please help us get through this time of water shortage, remind your neighbors. Water your gardens conservatively and we should be able to get through. The canal company said this could take a week or longer to fix. The town of Elmo, not the canal company or the special service district will let you know when you can water lawns again. Please also remember that watering with culinary water is against the law and will be punished accordingly," stated the letter.
The residents at the meeting said they felt threatened by the letter and they wondered if legally the town could charge the $50. The mayor let the residents know that these reconnection fees for water that's been shutoff are in the town ordinances. In emergency situations the mayor can act. The residents wondered if they could use culinary water outside. The answer was no. The residents mentioned they are having a hard time getting their notices from the city. Notices hung up in the post office don't seem to work.
There have been various rumors out as to why the town doesn't have secondary water. As the Huntington/Cleveland sprinkler project has gone forward they used some temporary pipe and were going to go back and finish up with the permanent pipe as the project went along. At the diversion in Huntington Canyon some water has been flowing over and not into the three diversions for Huntington, Cleveland and Lawrence. Work is being done to get these problems corrected as soon as possible so the residents will be without water for a short time.
When the Elmo pond is full the pressure and supply will return. Elmo has a no watering policy from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. in normal situations. Mayor Rasmussen said the problems the system is now having has nothing to do with Elmo. It is growing pains for the new sprinkler/irrigation system. Elmo has been very conservative in their water use.
There was a discussion of rights-of-way and streets in Elmo and whether or not they are streets and who is responsible for them. A citizen brought a letter given to him by a previous Elmo council concerning rights-of way.
Elmo council set up a planning and zoning appeals board. Any residents can go to the appeals authority if disagreements arise in planning and zoning issues. The board will have five members with varying terms.
The council discussed the Castle Valley Special Service District request for a portion of the road money to go into the district each year. Currently the city receiving the chip and seal project pays a large chunk of money when it's their year. This way a percentage will be paid each year avoiding a large lump sum payment. The council voted to approve a 13-15 percent payment each year.
The planning and zoning committee terms are expiring and new people need to be recruited as well as asking existing committee members if they will stay. Mayor Rasmussen explained to the council about the building inspector issues going on in the county right now. The building inspector for the county resigned and currently the county has hired Sunrise Engineering to do the county inspections. The council decided they will stay with the county for the building inspections for Elmo.
The council discussed the problems they are having with dogs running loose and unpaid dog license fees. It is $10 per year for a fixed dog and $20 per year for unaltered dogs. Elmo will talk to other cities to see how they are addressing dog problems.
The city worker has sprayed weeds once and will do so again. The city worker will place stop signs where they need to be placed.
Atwood says the Elmo fire department is desperately in need of volunteers. Delena Fish, town clerk, said the loan payment for the fire station building is due and requested it be added to the bill list. The town paid the bills.
There is concern over some graves in the Elmo Cemetery which are sinking. Settling has occurred and the city worker will put more dirt on them.

Defense, defense, defense.
Those three words characterize the last three Emery High girls' basketball games.
First, their defense held Canyon View to only 24 points in a 44-24 win Dec 28. Then, they did even better the next day against Uintah, holding the Utes to only 21 points while winning 52-21. Emery faced a tough Cedar High team Friday, but their defense held Cedar to only 35 points and Emery pulled off another win 50-35.
The Spartan defense had other impressive accomplishments in the games: Neither Canyon View nor Uintah scored more than seven points in a quarter and Emery held their opponents to one point, three points, four points, four points, six points, and six points in a quarter.
Perhaps the most impressive aspect of Emery's defense is that Emery out shot their opponent in each game. Many times the Spartans stole the ball before their opponent could get to half court. Steals, defensive rebounds, offensive rebounds, loose balls, jump balls, and hustle plays all went Emery's way because of their intensity and hard-nosed play on defense.
That defense really started to show itself in the second quarter of their game with Canyon View.
Trailing 14-13 with 2:35 to go in the half, Emery started really pressuring the ball. The Spartans scored 10 straight points (eight of them by center Cheryl Grant) and gave nothing to the Falcons. Canyon View only got off a couple shot attempts and nothing was even close. Emery led at the half 23-14.
The Lady Spartans didn't let up. They allowed only four points in the third quarter, while Emery scored nine�seven of them by Grant.
The Falcons got only one basket in the fourth quarter and Emery pulled away to grab the 44-24 win.
Grant finished the game with 23 points, Jennifer Nielson had 10, and Mackell Huntington scored nine.
The next day Emery got off to an even better start. They held Uintah to one point in the first quarter and dashed out to an 11-1 lead behind the shooting of Holly Bell and Nielson and the inside play of Grant.
Uintah tried to put something together in the second quarter, but Emery extended its lead. Bell continued her hot shooting and scored six points in the quarter. Emery led 24-10 at halftime.
The Spartans had their best quarter of the year in the third quarter. Emery outscored the Utes 21-4 thanks to their defense and the shooting of Grant who scored nine in the quarter. Emery led 45-14 and after that, the teams cleared their benches, but Emery still held the Utes to only seven points to win by 31.
An amazing fact is that Emery scored as many points (21) in the third quarter as Uintah scored the whole game.
Bell finished with 16 points, Grant had 12, and Nielson put in nine.
Emery and Cedar got off to a slow start�Emery because of poor shooting, Cedar because they couldn't get a shot off because Emery's defense kept taking the ball away.
Emery managed only seven points, but led by one 7-6.
The Spartans shot much better in the second quarter. They went on a 10-1 run that put them ahead 17-7 and finished the half ahead 20-14.
Both teams shot great in the third quarter but Emery got the better of the deal as Nielson hit two 3-pointers and scored 11 points in the quarter and Emery lengthened its lead to 39-32.
With the game still in doubt, Emery's defense came through again. Cedar scored only three points on three free throws and Emery put together runs of 6-0 and 5-0 to seal the game.
Grant led the team again with 18 points, Nielson had 13, Bell had eight, and Huntington contributed seven.
The Spartans now have a 4-6 record heading into region play this week. But the three wins in a row will give them confidence and their defense can take them just about anywhere if they continue to play with such intensity.
Emery plays at Lehi Thursday in their first region meeting. Their next home game is Jan. 15 against Carbon.

Did You Know? Countdown to Passover (03/15)
Did You Know?
Facts, Figures & Folklore about
the Jewish Holiday of Passover
March 15 : 14 days till 1st night Passover
Did you know that Passover celebrates the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt?
On a broader level, the holiday also marks the birth of the Jewish nation, whose journey began with Moses leading them across the Red Sea and culminates with G-d* giving them the Torah on Mount Sinai fifty days later?
(*BTW – Did you know that Jews do not write the name G-d or L-rd? It has to do with the commandment about taking G-d's name in vain. It is believed that if the name was written on a piece of paper and the paper was crumpled, discarded, or destroyed it would be considered a sin).
Spring has arrived and with it comes the eight-day Jewish holiday of freedom. It's time to clean out your chametz, open up a box of matzah and set up for your seder. So join us for our Did You Know? countdown to Passover, which begins at sundown on Monday March 29, 2010.

CHICKASHA – The Drover soccer teams continued both their home and their conference success with wins each against Mid-America Christian University on Tuesday afternoon.
The USAO women battled for much of the game, and the teams went into halftime scoreless. It wasn't until the 57-minute mark when junior Calli Cooper whizzed a goal by MACU's keeper.
The women held the lead to win it 1-0. Addie Tipton earned the win and shutout after making two saves in the game.
The Drovers outshot their opponents 29-13 in the game.
The USAO men made quite a showing Tuesday afternoon, grabbing five goals in a shutout over the Evangels and dominating most of the game. The Drovers outshot the Evangels 32-5.
Less than 15 minutes into the game, Luka Rasovic had an unassisted goal to give the Drovers a lead. Just minutes later, Scott Parkinson headed one in off a corner kick by Niall Crick.
Not satisfied with a 2-0 lead, Crick then scored on a bicycle kick sent to him by Sam Shaddick. The Drovers entered halftime up 3-0.
The team knocked another two goals in within minutes of each other in the second half when Modesto Arostegui found Nicolas Alberto for a goal, and then Perry Sansford's penalty kick gave USAO its final goal.
Bryan Byars, who had two saves, earned the shutout and win.
The Drover men are 8-3 overall and 4-0 in the Sooner Athletic Conference. The women are 9-2 and 4-1 in conference play.
On Thursday, the Drovers return for another home game against Wayland Baptist, beginning at 2 p.m. for the women and 4 p.m. for the men. They will play in their first ever Pink Game on Saturday at Drover Pitch.

History in the Paint Public Art Tour
In the summer of 2013, a collective of artists, called the Walldogs, came to Kewanee, IL to paint 15 historic murals depicting the long history and heritage of the city. These paintings can be found on many downtown facades, as well as at the Amtrak Station that brings new people to the area, every day. About this mural: Kewanee was founded in May of 1854, when the Military Tract Railroad was routed to the north of Wethersfield. The town founders were from Wethersfield Township to the south, Sylvester Blish, Ralph Tenney, Henry Little and Sullivan Howard, plus Nelson Lay from Wisconsin. Colonel Berrian, civil engineer who supervised the laying of the track through this area, was asked to choose a name and he decided on "Kewanee," a Winnebago Indian word for "prairie chicken." In 1921, Wethersfield's 2,000 people asked to be annexed to Kewanee with its 16,000. That 18,000 would turn out to be Kewanee's peak population.

By NEMS Daily Journal
Restrictions or outright bans on reselling tickets for live sports and entertainment events have been in place for years in many cities, and particularly around certain venues.
The stated purpose has been to protect fans from ticket scalpers who buy up tickets and resell them, usually at higher prices, although sometimes below the printed value if that's what the market dictates.
But state Rep. Rene Oliveira, D-Brownsville, believes such rules do more harm to the ticket holders who are not scalpers and who want to sell or give their tickets to someone else.
He has introduced a bill that would prevent original sellers or venues from putting restrictions on the resale of tickets.
The legislation makes exceptions for tickets sold to events whose proceeds "are intended solely to benefit charity" and those issued free …
Oliveira's logic is simple: "When I had a ticket, I thought I owned it," he said. And if he owns it, he thinks he ought to be able to do with it as he pleases.
That makes sense.
But several professional sports teams and popular venues, including the Texas Rangers, the Dallas Cowboys and American Airlines Center, are on record opposing the bill.
They argue that the unintended consequences of the legislation would aid scalpers and therefore would be bad for the average fan.
But Oliveira's property-rights issue is straightforward and clear.
If venues, sports teams, performers or show producers and promoters want to fight organized ticket scalping and exercise control over their events, that's fine. But they must find ways to do so that do not interfere with the basic property rights of ticket buyers.

About Jeff Masters

A broad 1008 mb low pressure area has developed near 10N 84W, inland over Costa Rica. NHC designated this disturbance Invest 94L yesterday, but is no longer issuing model products for the disturbance. This morning's QuikSCAT pass showed a broad circulation around the low, with top winds of about 30 - 35 mph over the extreme Southwestern Caribbean. Obviously, the center will have to move over water in order for significant development to occur, but recent satellite loops show that the low is pulling in an increasing amount of moisture from the Pacific, leading to heavy rains over Costa Rica and western Panama. Wind shear is low, about 5 - 10 knots, and there is deep layer of high moisture over the entire Western Caribbean, which both favor development if the center moves over water. Rainfall estimates from the Navy Research Lab indicate that 94L dumped up to three inches of rain over portions of Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua over the past 24 hours.
Figure 1. Morning satellite image of Invest 94L.
The forecast for 94L
Wind shear is expected to remain in the low to moderate range, 5 - 15 knots, for the next five days in the Western Caribbean. Sea Surface temperatures are very warm, 29°C, and there is plenty of moisture through a deep layer of the atmosphere. The only major impediment to 94L becoming a tropical storm later this week would seem to be proximity to land. At present, only the GFS model develops 94L, but weeks it very weak. The GFS predicts the storm will take a north then northwesterly track across western Cuba early next week, then into the Gulf Coast of Florida later in the week. However, it is equally likely that 94L will stay bottled up in the Western Caribbean for the foreseeable future. I'll continue to give 94L a medium (30 - 50% chance) of eventually becoming a tropical depression over the next ten days. NHC is giving 94L a low (less than 30% chance) of developing into a tropical depression by Friday, which is a good forecast. Given 94L's current state of disorganization and location over land, Saturday is the earliest we should expect it to organize into a tropical depression. NHC has not put the Hurricane Hunters on call to fly 94L Thursday or Friday.
Rick misses Baja, hits Mainland Mexico near Mazatlan
Tropical Storm Rick made landfall near 10am EDT in Mainland Mexico just north of Mazatlan. Top winds measured at the Matatlan airport during landfall were 39 mph, gusting to 61 mph. The primary threat from Rick will be heavy rains of up to six inches in the mountains near Mazatlan. Rick's remains should being at most one inch of rain to south-central Texas on Thursday.
Typhoon Lupit weakens and slows; path now uncertain
Typhoon Lupit, now a Category 1 storm with 90 mph winds, continues to have difficulty dealing with a slug of dry air it wrapped into its core two days ago. Microwave imagery showed that the typhoon was missing a portion of its northern eyewall this morning. However, recent Infrared satellite loops show that the eye has warmed and become more distinct, a sign of intensification. Also, the cloud tops of Lupit's eyewall have cooled in recent hours, signaling that they are more vigorous and reaching higher into the atmosphere. Lupit is in an environment favorable for re-intensification, with low wind shear of 5 - 10 knots and warm sea surface temperatures of 28 - 29°C. It would not be a surprise to see Lupit intensify into a major Category 3 typhoon again by Thursday, though the official forecast from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center is less aggressive, calling for a Category 2 storm by tomorrow. Even in its current weakened state, Lupit is a prodigious rain-maker, with rainfall rates exceeding one inch per hour near its core (Figure 2).
The future path of the typhoon is now highly uncertain, as steering currents are weakening and the storm is slowing down. A weakness in the ridge of high pressure steering Lupit west-southwest is developing, and several models (ECMWF, GFS) now predict recurvature of the typhoon before it reaches the Philippines. This optimistic scenario is counterbalanced by the very pessimistic forecasts of the UKMET and NOGAPS models, which take the typhoon inland over the northern portion of Luzon 1 - 2 days from now, and then stall the storm for 2 - 3 days. This would cause a major flooding disaster, as the soils are already saturated and the dams completely full from the 20+ inches of rain dumped by Super Typhoon Parma in early October. If Lupit stalls for several days over Luzon, it would dump another 20+ inches of rain, triggering massive flash flooding and life-threatening mudslides.
Storm chased Jim Edds is in northern Luzon to document Lupit's landfall, and has some interesting photos of the preparations the residents are taking.
Figure 2. Rainfall rates observed by a polar-orbiting microwave satellite at at 10:24 UTC Wednesday 10/21/09. Lupit is expected to dump rains in excess of one inch per hour (red and pink colors) along its path. Up to 12 inches of rain in a 24-hour period are expected from the typhoon.

Creating a Home Gym
I belonged to a gym for 20 years, but quite frankly, I got tired of spending the extra time needed to get there. It took me about 45 minutes to get ready and drive to the gym, and in that time I could have completed my workout.
I decided to end my membership and turn my spare bedroom into a fitness room. I cleared out the room and then brought in my exercise equipment, which includes free weights, a weight bench and an elliptical training machine.
I added a stereo for music and a small television with a built-in VCR so I can do aerobics, step classes, kick-boxing, Pilates and fitness ball workouts using videotapes.
From fitness magazines, I cut out examples and explanations of various exercises and glued them onto colorful cardboard that I pinned to the walls. I also hung large mirrors in the room so I could check my form while exercising.
I'm saving money on monthly membership fees and saving time not having to drive back and forth to the gym. I can choose from a variety of workouts, so I don't get bored. Most importantly, I'm so happy with my new workout room that I exercise a lot more than I used to.

Three weeks of steady rioting have dented Maduro's support, which was already suffering because of food shortages.
CARACAS, Venezuela — Tens of thousands of supporters and opponents of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro held peaceful demonstrations Saturday throughout the country, calling for an end to nearly three weeks of rioting that have left at least 11 dead and scores wounded.
But demonstrators differed on how to achieve that peace as both sides vehemently blamed each other for the violence that has left some Venezuelan cities looking like war zones with burned out cars and barricaded streets.
"We are facing a coup de'etat," Maduro told supporters, many carrying flowers and wearing T-shirts emblazoned with peace symbols, at a rally a short distance from the presidential palace. "And we are defeating it."
The pro-government rally was billed as a march by the country's women wanting peace, but many men attended as well.
Maduro, who is facing the biggest political challenge since he was inaugurated in April 2013 to finish the presidential term of the late Hugo Chavez, said that his opponents have no desire for dialogue orpeace. He showed supporters homemade explosive devices filled with nails, which he said had been made by extremists as part of fascist plot to bring down his embattled government.
"There are people who believe that they can take power by setting the country on fire," Maduro said. "They will not return (to power)."
Maduro, 51, also showed his supporters a short video that purported to show illegal acts by opposition leader Leopoldo Lopez. Lopez surrendered to police Tuesday to answer charges of conspiracy and sedition in connection to rioting on Feb. 12 that killed three. Lopez, who is being held at a military camp outside Caracas, has repeatedly proclaimed his innocence.
"We are here to march against the fascists threatening our country," said Karla Lopez, 22, a university student. "We want peace, but they just want to overturn all that Chavez and Maduro have done."
Three weeks of steady rioting have dented Maduro's support, which was already suffering because of food shortages. Many Venezuelans, including his supporters in the working class, are complaining about the lack of basic foodstuffs, hand soap, toilet tissue and other necessities.
Analysts say the deeply polarized country is almost evenly divided between Maduro and the opposition. On Friday, Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez warned that he could stop gasoline shipments to cities where fighting persisted. Ramirez, a close Maduro ally and head of the state oil company, didn't give any time frame for action.
At the other end of Caracas, the country's opposition also held a rally, calling for Lopez's release and for the end of violent suppression of protesters.Demonstrations have been spearheaded by university students, who have attacked what they say is the country's deteriorating economic situation, soaring crime, corruption and the erosion of civil liberties.
The country's opposition has repeatedly charged that the country's police and national guard have used excessive force in suppressing the demonstrations, enflaming passions and generating more violence.
Opposition leader Henrique Capriles Radonski, who narrowly lost a special presidential vote in April to Maduro but has yet to recognize his defeat, said government forces have tortured students, and ticked off a list of victims.
"Yes, there is torture in Venezuela today,'' Capriles said, alleging that some of the students had been beaten, raped and burned with gasoline. He said that there have been at least 18 cases of documented torture, disputing Maduro's claims that no students had been mistreated.
Capriles, who appeared next to Lopez's wife, Lilian Tintori, called for the immediate release of her husband, and called Maduro a "mistake of history'' for failing to address the country's pressing problems. He also called on Maduro to disarm pro-government paramilitaries who have been attacking students, often in conjunction with the security forces.
While cautioning his supporters to refrain from violence, Capriles also warned that he and others would fight if pressed.
"We have our gloves off but if you, Nicolas, want us to, we will get in the ring and we will put on our gloves,'' Capriles said. "You will have to deal with millions of Venezuelans in the streets of Venezuela. Don't make a mistake. We are lovers of peace but we will never bow to our knees in front of corrupt politicians."
As the competing rallies were taking place, student Geraldine Moreno died from wounds suffered earlier during protests in the central industrial city of Valencia. She is the 11th person killed in the ongoing violence.
"I am here supporting my son,'' said Pablo Perez, 54, a businessman who was wearing a white T-shirt for peace at the opposition rally. "He has been peacefully protesting as is his right. This is the least I can do."
Maduro repeatedly blamed the United States and former Colombian president Alvaro Uribe for backing his opponents. On Friday night, Maduro called for talks with the United States, even as he blasted U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry for earlier remarks criticizing Maduro's handling of the crisis.
"The government's use of force and judicial intimidation against citizens and political figures ... is unacceptable and will only increase the likelihood of violence," Kerry said in a statement.
Neither Venezuela nor the U.S. are represented in each other's capitals by ambassadors, following tit-for-tat expulsions. In the pastyear, Venezuela has expelled eight American diplomats, charging them with participating in questionable activities.
After calling his opponents fascists and coupsters throughout his speech, Maduro said he would provide details on Sunday of a meeting set for Wednesday that aims to resolve differences and ease tensions.
Student protests erupted earlier this month in the southwestern city of San Cristobal, initially focusing on the country's spiraling crime. Venezuela, a country of nearly 30 million, had about 25,000 murders last year, according to a non-government agency. Caracas is now the world's third-most dangerous city per its murder rate.
Venezuela has the world's largest oil reserves, but has been slow to develop them. The country has strict foreign exchange controls which have stifled imports and led to shortages. Venezuela imports about 70% of the products it consumes.

Bruiser Baits Avenger 4.25" 7pk
Designed for anglers that like to catch fish and win tournaments, the Bruiser Baits Avenger combines the best features and body designs of two of Bruiser Baits most popular baits the Intruder and Crazy Craw. Measuring in at just over 4-inches, it's awesome for flippin', pitchin', and even swimmin', the little appendages on the side of the bait are very streamlined when punching through cover, but when the bait hits the bottom, they flair open similar to a jig. They also twitch and pulse with slight movements of the rod. The claws are large with thick edges to help create a bigger, better action as well, and you can leave them attached for a slower, gliding fall or pull them apart for an amazing flapping action. The Avenger also has a ribbed body to create additional water disturbance. Texas rigging the Bruiser Baits Avenger with the proper weight can result in big fish and lots of them.

Comments: I used this bait in watermelon and June bug in the Okeechobee channel & Lake & we'll bass magnet without scents. Will buy a load of these but sadly the flaps, pitcher areas break easily.
From: Joseph: FL 4/11/16
Comments: This is an amazing bait for flipping flooded shallow cover. The best part of the bait in my opinion is the fact that the center of the bait is thick enough to still use a strait shank flipping hook. I hate when the bait is so thin that the point sticks out the other side, once its rigged. Color selection is perfect too! This is my new go to bait!
From: Nathan: Beaumont, TX 3/29/16
Comments: The Houdini color is by far my favorite! Caught 5+ lbers on them & they skip really nicely when used on a jig. One of my go to baits for catching big bass. The durability is pretty decent I don't find that the pincers rip off too easily & I can usually catch 3 or 4 fish before it's gotta be replaced. Buy some you won't regret it.
From: Joe: St. James, MN 9/1/15
Comments: I've been using the Avenger the last 2 years on Ky Lake when the water gets into the flooded buck brush. It is simply the best overall bait I have tried. It's a perfect size, lots of action and very durable. I've flipped just about every beaver style bait there is and I now try the Avenger before any others. Green Pumpkin and Knockout cover all color needs.
From: Marshall: KY 4/20/15
Comments: this is a great bait. It actually has similar action to the rage craw. I like to think of this thing to be the son of the craw fatty by Berkeley havoc and the rage craw. It's very Durable and it can be fished on a 4/0 EWG you can even go weightless and have a top water action very similar to the horny toad. Lilly pad is a great color try these out they are versatile and a great price!
From: Derrick: Auburn, AL 2/12/15
Comments: The baits are solid. They aren't the best craws I've used but the hold up pretty well and fish of all sizes eat them. Sometimes I'll throw these on when the bite slows on other baits. The craw action is great an it's got a large profile. Try these as a backup and you wont be disappointed

My granddaughter and I pray together before bed when she stays with me. This ornament made me think of that and will remind her of her special times with her grandmother. Hopefully she'll keep the ornament into adulthood. It is durable enough to do so.
Beautiful Ornament
By dbird
from ct
I love this ornament, it is a true keepsake. Everyone who has seen it thinks I must have spent a fortune. It is so adorable, and I love that it can be personalized. It would be nice to choose the font, but the font used looks nicer in person than in the photo. This ornament is not too heavy for the tree, and you don't have to worry about breaking it.
A must buy for new babies
By Linda
from Minneapolis, MN
Each new baby in our family gets a personalized ornament. It's well made, too.
cute, but not exactly what I expected
By Nana Pat
from Montana
cute, but not appropriate for older children. Did not notice the bare bottems. Wanted to give to my nine year old grandchildren, but too young looking because of that feature.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
I love them

I have 12 grandchildren and have ordered one for each. They search on the tree each year to find theirs. Very good value

very nice ornament

I ordered one boy ornament and one girl ornament. The nameplates had to be glued on when we got them. Other than that they look nice and I think they are pretty and adorable.

KINeSYS is the first Carbon Neutral produced using "green" sustainable wind energy during production. These sunscreens are certified Cruelty-Free & Vegan earning it a PTPA MEDIA GREEN WINNER award! Over the years much has been written about sunscreen, suncare and sun safety. In the last year, sunscreen has become a hot and topical topic (no pun intended) and a wave of press is trying to change and educate people on sun safety. The problem is the message is still unclear: SPF 15, 30, 45, 60, 85, 100+++, if it's bigger it must be better? Many people still don't know that SPF (Sun Protection Factor) is based only on the UVB rays and is for a measure of time, ie. SPF 30 gives you 30x more protection than not wearing any sunscreen. The UVB rays are the rays that give you the sunburn, think of UV B "burning" rays. We now know that UVA rays mutate cells and aid in the breakdown of collagen, the elasticity of your skin and cause skin cancer. UV A "aging" rays. There are only a few ingredients that protect from "broad spectrum" UVA - Zinc oxide, Titanium dioxide, Avobenzone (or Parsol 1789) and Mexoryl. The new wave, or "green washing," of sunscreens all make claims like: Natural, All Natural, Natural UV, All Mineral, Chemical free, Non-chemical, Without Chemical, Organic, Inorganic and Natural Organic. Everyone is looking to protect their skin as safely as possible, but buying a product that claims to be "all natural" is misleading. One of the few natural sunscreens: mud, mud works as a natural sunscreen but it doesn't look very nice on your skin. To make inorganic Zinc and Titanium small enough to go on your skin without leaving major residue, companies use "nanotechnology" involving a chemical and mechanical process. There are groups now that want to ban the use of nanotechnology, stating that the minerals are so small they can get past the skin and into the blood causing DNA damage. There are other groups that say nanotechnology is safe; it's hard to know who is right and who is wrong and who's behind each study. Tests are still ongoing to evaluate the safety of all sunscreen ingredients. So, Organic, Inorganic, Physical, Mineral and Chemical, there's good and bad, but in the case of sunscreen, the health benefits far outweigh any potential (and unproven) health risks. The one true and proven guarantee doctors, dermatologists, plastic surgeons and all other medical practitioners agree on is that the sun is helpful but is also very deadly with the potential for skin cancer. Getting burnt is very uncomfortable, hinders performance for athletes and isn't very good for your mental well being with all the pain, peeling, aging and potential for skin cancer. It's also very dangerous for children and increases their chance of skin cancer later in life. In 1999, the FDA came out with a "new" monograph (new regulations) for sunscreen, and while it was right on the mark for some areas, but failed to address UVA. It read that nothing could be packaged to read higher than SPF 30+ (following the Australian standards [the most mature suncare market in the world]) and the terms "Natural", "Non-chemical" and "Chemical free" are false and misleading in the labeling of OTC sunscreen drug products. It also stated that products could not say "All Day protection," "Waterproof" or "8 hour waterproof." The problem was that companies like KINeSYS followed this monograph but many of the major brands did not, as it meant taking all the SPF 45, 50, 60, 70++++ off the shelves. The major brands lobbied against this monograph and many, many years later still sell the higher SPF's. There is a new proposed 2009 monograph, since the 1999 one was never fully adopted, that is now in the FDA's hands. This monograph contemplates ratings for UVA, which is wonderful, but it allows manufacturers to go as high as SPF 50+? This goes directly against their earlier wisdom, causing many to wonder: is this just succumbing to the pressure of the lobbying? Bottom line, as a human being you have the opportunity to make a choice: BURN or PROTECT? You choose and then find what that works for you: a cream, a spray, UV clothing or just staying in the house. It's up to you, but find something you are comfortable with and will USE and keep protected. Go out, enjoy the outdoors! In 1993, Jeff Kletter's doctor made matters simple: shape up or die young. So, he hired Josie, a personal fitness trainer to coach him back to health. During their workouts, Jeff complained about his sore muscles and how pain relief products simply don't work. Josie joked, perhaps we should make a formula especially for you. And they did. It was the first product and the birth of KINeSYS. With the strong chemistry between them, they quit their jobs, sold their belongings, and began a new partnership in business and in life. They recruited a chemist with 30 years experience to formulate a line of products designed to meet the rigors of professional athletes. They then drafted Dr. Doug Clement, a leading sports medicine physician, to help develop the products and chair a scientific advisory board. Dr. Clement noted that top athletes had a lower incidence of most disease except one- Skin Cancer- which was higher in athletes due their prolonged exposure to the sun while training or competing. KINeSYS Sunscreen - For the active individual who demands the highest performance from their sunscreen. Countless tests and trials have led to the KINeSYS line of Performance Sunscreens, which exceed the requirements of professional athletes and active individuals regardless of skill or age. This gives Jeff and Josie complete confidence when using KINeSYS on their family. KINeSYS products meet the high quality standards they have as new parents and will effectively satisfy the demands of any athlete. KINeSYS Inc. - "Protecting the Health of Active Families" Their vision is for KINeSYS Inc. to be a pioneer and global leader in the Performance Bodycare and Suncare categories, with a reputation for quality and innovation respected by business partners and consumers. KINeSYS will prove that a company can be profitable and yet maintain its integrity and ethics. KINeSYS products will be widely distributed throughout the United States and Canada, with offices in both countries. The products will also be available in other markets including Australia, New Zealand, Europe, Asia, South America, Mexico, and the Caribbean. KINeSYS will be a recognized brand name in all these markets and will be strongly associated with excellence and the highest quality. KINeSYS will focus on customer service. The products will complement the healthy lifestyle of the KINeSYS consumer and be considered "the best and cool" by this group.

|In response to Re: Pedistal sink install questions
: I am going to install a pedistal sink and I noticed that underneath the vanity that I have, there is a roung plastic cap with a square on the the top of it. It looks like the square is there in case you need to unscrew it with a crescent wrench. I want to install the sink but I see the round cap and the hot and cold shut offs and I was wondering is there a way to hide all of this because the neck of the ped sink is so small that it would be inpossible to hide these things behind it, especially the round cap. Am I able to remove it? Also, I need to tear down the existing vanity and I was wondering if you had any do's and donts because it is attached pretty good to the wall.

|In response to Re: not enough hot water
: Hi--
: We have a brand new 50-gal gas hot water heater, and just spent $10K on a new shower and bathroom. We can't even get two hot showers in the morning--the water goes cold during the second shower and this is very frustrating! We have the water heater turned all the way to the hottest setting, which of course, isn't even safe. Before I spend another $1000 on another plumber to fail at fixing this problem, does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance.
I had a similar condition and replaced the existing heater with a rapid recovery type same gallon as the existing.
The lady is thrilled with the results as now her two teenage sons can just about take unlimited showers and the demand keeps up.
Today with lower temperatures in the residential heaters 125 deg Max and the inadequate flame to maintain the temperature with colder water coning in I would go for the higher BTU input type.
Is there return circulation? Are the hot water pipes insulated or against an outside wall?
Is there any possibility of a by pass of cold and hot mixing? Did anyone install a 27" loop on the cold water supply to prevent stratification of the hot entering the cold water lines? (heat goes to the absence of heat)
Touch the cold water supply line by the H/W tank and feel if it is hot then install the loop.
Any Moen faucets or possibly a shower head that can allow mixing.
Working check valve by the washing machine?
Bad Dip tube?
how about possibly installing a flow control device like we use on hot water coils coming out of a boiler so the out going does not exceed the Max allowable make up?
Sort of like a Penny with a small hole drilled through it but sized on a hot water Max output of the heater
Hey just a few ideas to kick around

Jackall Giron
Once fish have been sore-lipped or disrupted by weather changes, they can become temperamental and hesitant to feed. Every angler knows how frustrating this can be. Even when fish become weary, the Jackall Giron retains the ability to put fish in the boat because of its supreme versatility. Slowly retrieve the Jackall Giron until you can barely feel its vibrations, and it delivers a methodic s-curve motion that perfectly imitates the look of a swimming panfish. When worked with a steady twitching, the Jackall Giron provides a lethal "walk the dog" action underwater, which is great around more aggressive fish and murkier waters. The jointed construction of the Jackall Giron comes in a number of highly detailed colors that perfectly replicate crappie, bluegill, and threadfin. No matter what body of water you happen to be fishing – if panfish are prevalent – the Jackal Giron has the potential to get you onto the podium.

Customer Reviews
Comments: So I must say I was excited to have received my first giron a few weeks ago. I ordered the ghost bluegill & it has been slammed every time I go out fishing. Honestly it has become my go to bait. Just ordered 2 more one threadfin & one regular bluegill. I wish jackal would produce these in a large size. An 8" would be amazing.
From: Hokunaokala: Orlando, FL 5/11/16
Comments: I got one of these in the RT Ghost Bluegill color. Overall I am very impressed. The swimming action is really great at fast or slow speeds. It stands up very nicely on the bottom like it says. If you stop it just right on the retrieve you can get it to turn around & look at whatever might be following it. My only complaint is that like others have said it does tend to helicopter on nearly every cast. But considering how it performs after it hits the water I can easily overlook that. Worth every penny if your lake has a lot of bluegill in it.
From: Ryan: MA 7/26/15
Comments: great swimbait overall. Just one thing, the eye came off on the third cast. That's the only con to this bait. Haven't caught anything yet but I've had some nice strikes. Tight lines!
From: Trey: NC 4/3/15
Comments: I have the bluegill giron and the action is awesome, I swim it right underneath the surface at a decent speed and bass and big pike crush it. great lure and it's worth the price
From: Mike: Milwaukee, WI 6/29/14
Comments: I spent the money hoping this bait might save me from catching live blue gills for bass fishing. On my second cast I got hit by a two pounder and I was just trying to see how it moved in the water. It's a gorgeous bait. Slow sinking , runs true, and looks just like a gill swimming by. Water is still chilly so I'm betting this will produce even better when I swim it through a ball of fry being protected by a big old bass. I think it will be worth the money. I fish a small pond, skinny water, pretty stained. I was using the Orange belly version. Bought another one just in case I get hung up.
From: Chuck: Bergen, NJ 5/23/14
Comments: Bought a few of these last year just to try them out. Well I have to say these little babies just work. The post spawn smallies just crush these things. I have caught some largemouth on them but I just can't believe how the smallies crush these things.
From: Bill: WI 4/14/14
Comments: I don't use it as a swim bait. When the Smallies are on the beds, and I mean the 5+ gals that won't take a soft bait, just drop any one of the Bluegill colors in and they just come unglued. The key is that the lure sits upright when the trebles hit the bottom.
From: Bruce: Hubertus, Wi
Comments: one of the best small hard swimbaits out there. I fish the ghost bluegill color and it's outfishing the baits I usually throw in this pond. Very durable, and you can walk the dog with it or pop the rod and it will reverse and face a follower. It gets CRUSHED!
From: Daphne: Rhode Island
Comments: Not a Fan, Ill stick with Spro.
From: Tim: CA Delta
Comments: my go to swimbait got 7 of them I want to sell 2 of them someone let me no, there in there in the package
From: Patrick
Comments: Well, I bought this lure and it was the very first time I'd ever tried a hard bodied swimbait. I use the RT bluegill color in a pond where bluegill are the primary food source for the bass there. Consistently produces fish for me, and this bait is responsible for my personal best bass that weighed 10 lbs 2 oz. The bait is durable. No chipped paint, no bent/damaged eyes/rings/hooks. I'll be investing in a few more of these.
From: Zach: Pittsylvania, VA
Comments: Awesome swimbait. I had no experience with these types of baits and was able to pick off some chunky bass first time trying it. The action is very realistic and as someone else said the strikes are pretty strong!
From: Will: Waltham, MA
Comments: Great swin bait, in two hours i caught several 5 pound crappies and bass (Great Lure)
From: Gerald: Fairfield, NJ
Comments: The weather finally broke, I did not plan on catching any fish this time of the year; I just wanted to check out the action the action and its GREAT! I bought the RT Bluegill, and man I have to say I could not believe my eyes.. I think this is going to be a fun bait to test this year.
From: Brett: Rochester
Comments: Plan to use this bait this year. Its looks better then bbz. The bbz works but this is better quality. Action is different then bbz. Check the videos. Takes some skill but i will work it this season. Good fishing and give one a try!!
Comments: i use the rt bluegill color and it works really good during the spawn work it like a bbz spro twitch it,pause it and boom set the hook!!
Comments: If you want a nice hard swimbait that has a different action then most this is it. Like others have said it is better on a slow retrieve. I wish TW would start selling the baby size for smaller fish like crappie and white bass.
From: John: MO
Comments: Great profile and appearance, decent action when at a slow retrieve. One of the better hard bodied swimbaits I have used.
From: Mark: Spokane, WA
Comments: Great action, just don't work it too fast. The bass in my local lake slam this thing in the ghost crappie color.
From: Dave: SoCal
Comments: Definitely one of the best wakebaits out there!
Comments: AMAZING!! I got one (the bluegill) to test it. it was rated the worst color and due the conditions of my pond, i thought it was going to be TERRIBLE. I bike to my pond, throw 5 casts, on my fifth, i get a monster 11 pounder!!! the hooks didnt bend, break, snap, or anything! ***** five stars! my tester made me fall in love with the giron and i immedately got the black crappie, ghost crappie, RT black crappie, and SG threadfin. Ive only used a few but the ones i used have got me fish no less than 3 pounds, im telling you, you HAVE GOT to get some of these (my personal favorits are RT Black Crappie and ghost crappie. maybe in hard conditions ill use the bluegill, but not really.
From: Peter: United States of America
Comments: I have caught quite a few bass on my ghost crappie. The biggest was 8lbs in a private pond but it does well in pressured waters too. Great bait and the strikes it gets aren't for the faint of heart.
From: Danny: Milan, TN
Comments: i have a box in my garage filled with nothing but these lil swimmers, thats how much i like these and how much they work and produce for me. they are killer for smallies, bucketmouths and ive even had some decent musky chase these down. they are like a timex. takes a lickn and keeps on tickn. and ill add weights to mine to make it a bottom bouncer feeding along the bottom and BAMMM ill get slammed by bass working to protect there nests in the shallows. these and the lucky craft real vib are my fav. lil swimbaits. they produce everytime and produce quality fish.
From: Sam: Orland Park, IL
Comments: Decent swimbait. Nice action at medium retrieve speeds. A quick jerk will make it turn around on itself. However, retrieve it too fast will make it roll over.
From: Rowland: Newport News, VA
Comments:Awesome lure! Almost TOO good, I hooked a 7 lb carp first hour using it. Don't get me wrong, the last thing I'm trying to do is hook those sea donkies, but it just goes to show the effectiveness of this across all species. Later the same day I hooked a nice 16" largemouth. I'd recommend any bass angler to buy 3 of these puppies. Ghost Bluegill, Black Crappie, and Noike Bluegill. Avoid fishing near cover, a snag or break-off is costly.
Comments:This little swimbait is killer on big northern pike and largemouth bass, vary your retrieve speed fast then slow and so on. If you live by water with northerns in it, pick up this bait,its a killer!
From:Mr. BondEast Lansing, MI
Comments:Awesome swimbaits! Unbelievable Action!
From:Joshua: Minneapolis,MN
