As the Pentagon struggles to stem a rising number of suicides in the force, a new study suggests combat appears to have no influence on suicide rates among troops and veterans. AP National Security Correspondent Sagar Meghani reports. (Aug. 6) AP
In the largest study of suicide in the military, scientists found no direct link between combat or deployments to war and growing numbers service members killing themselves. But they did see what could be an indirect link to the stress of war.
In tracking 151,000 service members over three years, researchers found an association between suicide and certain mental illnesses — depression, manic-depressive disorder and alcohol abuse — occurring more frequently during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
"Just being in the military environment during over a decade of continuous combat, which is the longest time in our military history...may have placed military service members at... increased stress," said Dr. Nancy Crum-Cianflone, the study lead investigator.
The results appear in the latest Journal of the American Medical Association.
STORY: Army, Navy suicides at record high
There were a record 349 potential suicides among active-duty troops last year, nearly double the tally in 2001. The Army accounted for well over half with 185 soldiers killing themselves last era at a record rate of 29-per-100,000, well above the civilian rate of 17.6-per-100,000 among people of similar age to those in the military.
Researchers worked within the Pentagon's ongoing Millennium Cohort Study, which has been tracking the lives of tens of thousands of military members for years. They focused on troops who served between 2001 and 2008, and counted 83 suicides occurring either during or after a service member was in the military, according to the study.
Those suffering depression, a manic-depressive disorder or alcohol-related problems had the highest suicide rates.
No links were found between suicide and combat experience, total days at war or number of combat tours, according to the study.
Military suicides began dramatically increasing between 2005 and 2008. The trend largely leveled off, or declined for some service branches, between 2009 and 2011 before rising precipitously once again last year.
Suicides within the civilian population have also been increasing.
Study authors said the number of troops diagnosed with mental health problems increased along with suicides from 2005 to 2008, a period of fierce combat in Iraq.
"I think there's some evidence that the stress of being in the military at a time of war is certainly very different than being in the military at at time when it's not at war," says Crum-Cianflone.
She says the results lend strong support for encouraging troops or veterans to seek behavioral help counseling if necessary. "That may be one of the best ways for us in the end to mitigate suicides," she says.

Bpatcher, Sendbox Replace, Pattr, Pattrstorage, and some things not loaded…
Hey all,
Little snafu I came across on a project I've been working on. I recreated the problem in a little three patch set attached to this message. It involves bpatchers.
I have a main window with two bpatchers in it. A drop down menu can change the patches in the bpatchers. There is a pattrstorage object and pattr bindings to store all of the data.
The problem is this: When I save a preset to a file, all of the information is stored in the xml file. However, when I recall the preset, the main patch changes, but the bpatchers load on their default values. I'm thinking this is something with the messages not getting to the bpatchers since they are loading.
If anyone has any insight on how to work around this it would be great. Thanks a bunch for your help.
Chris Roode
Just making an update for the record. I found a workaround that solves this problem to my liking. I am still tweaking it. While researching the forums I found that this question has been asked before, but I didn't feel the solutions from the past worked with my project.
The problem is with the pattrstorage object. When recalling the preset, the umenus that replace the bpatchers cause the pattrstorage object to drop the following parameters from memory. Since they are not in memory, pattrstorage simply cannot assign them. pattrstorage will not wait for a bpatcher to initialize a new patch before continuing.
Therefore, I have found a workaround to get the rest of the parameters in the bpatchers:
First, do the read command and load your xml file.
Second, load the patch you want (1 in this case)
Third, deactivate all of the umenu objects that replace the bpatcher (use the message below)
active slot1value 0, slot2value 0
Fourth, with the umenus deactivated, load the patch again (1). This will load what is in the bpatchers, but will not do any replace commands messing up the process.
Finally, I'm new to pattrstorage, so I decided to activate the umenus again.
There are still some problems with this method that I am trying to work around. On a first shot, it didn't work when all of the messages were tied together in a single button. However, when I split them apart and gave each step a chance to complete on its own, I loaded the bpatchers and parameters inside all together.
So there is still a problem to solve. How can these steps be automated without overlapping. I am working on that and will post it when done, but if anyone has suggestions, feel free to post.
Rock on!
Chris Roode
Hi Chris.
Would love to know if you find an answer I am struggling with the same thing myself.
Thanks Lee
The workaround that I described above is the best thing I found. I'm thinking that since there is so much going on at the same time when a BPatcher loads itself because of a pattr object, messages stack on top of each other and get lost. So you have to load the BPatchers first, then use a second command to load the preset of the subpatcher.
Couldn't figure out anything more streamlined. Did I mention I am learning how to program on the iPad.
yay, presets recalled by pattrstorage not being able to wait for other presets is sometime a mess… i worked it around once by creating pattrstorages inside each bpatcher, and having all a system creating automatically json for each bpatcher, all json saved in a folder created automatically when saving a preset with the parent pattrstorage. Such a mess…
Hi Chris. I played about with your idea and got it working found a way to make it a bit easier. Instead of sending a [read] message to the [preset] box I have a graphic for load going to a [opendialog] this is connected to a [set $1] message that is connected to a [text edit] box then out of its first outlet it goes to a [route text] box then in to a [read $1] message. attach the last outlet of the [textedit] to a button and then send the button to the first inlet of the [textedit] this insure's that the text is sent. So I no have a save (write and store 1, write has a delay on it) load (attached to above mentioned) and apply (attached to a 1 message) attached to the [preset].
so that's the first stage complete my effects have all loaded up into the correct channels. For the next stage I have a [checkbox] attached to gates that block the replace bpatcher messages, I have inverted the [checkbox] value so that on is 0 and off is 1(using [select 1]) then I have a second load graphic attached to the button that is attached to the [textedit] this reloads the save file without the user having to locate it again. Then a second apply graphic attached to a [1] message into [preset].
long winded but it saves the user having to locate the save file twice.
Will post patch soon its on my mac and not internet connected. (using laptop at moment)
Give yourself a pat on the back Chris for finding a logical solution to a complex problem. Eureeeeeeeeeeekaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Thanks Lee.
That's awesome to hear. Looking forward to the patch. Thanks for the pat on the back too. Up until now I was thinking this whole effort was a dead end. Glad to see people benefiting from it.
Hi Chris here is the patch, sorry its a bit messy strung it together before going to bed so little sleepy, not tested but should work. Cheers Lee
Hi Chris, I have found a different way of going about this, I have not implemented it yet but believe it should work really well. I have found lots of threads saying to use poly~ for effects that you wish to change as that way you do not get a break in the audio flow (as you do when using the replace bpatcher), Their is a help patch called dynamic poly~ in the poly~ help file. however I could not find a way to look in to a poly~ using bpatcher. Then it struck me last night laid in bed (as they usually do), For each effect I create I need to split it into two patches, lets say I want to create a simple delay using delay~. First I create a patch with a visual backgound and place all the nobs and faders in their in this case just a fader to control the delay time, I then send the fader to an outlet called deltime in the patch then I have an inlet attached to the input of the fader called bang and place an autopattr in their, thats that patch finished. Then I create another patch that has an inlet called deltime I attach this to a delay~'s second inlet and attach a inlet called audio in to the first inlet of the delay~, I then attach the first outlet of the delay~ to an outlet called audio out, I then place a loadbang into the this patch and attach it to an outlet called bang. Right once in the patch that I placed my bpatch in I load up the first patch into a bpatcher (the patch with fader/knobs) and have an offset message to switch between the different effect fader patchers (notice I havent used replace) now all you have loaded up are all the controls for whichever effects you include in your patch/standalone, then have a poly~ with the message patchername poly_(your patch name) attched. this will then load the patch with the actual audio flow and delay~ in without creating a gap in sound. attach the bpatcher to the poly~ so that the fader attaches to the deltime and attach the bang of the poly~ to the bang inlet in the bpatcher once the poly~ loads it will send its loadbang to the fader and the faders saved setting will be sent to the poly~. simples. hope this makes sense. will load up a patch once I get the chance. How you go about automating the bpatcher to load at the same time as the poly~ be simple enough. Just make sure all the control patchers you create for bpatcher are all in the same patch so you can use offset this way the autopattr will pick up the saved message from your pattrstorage. I only have one effect per bpatcher so no biggy for me only wanted to use bpatcher replace to save on cpu. thanks Lee.

Parks Canada
Home > National Historic Sites > Saint-Ours Canal National Historic Site > Natural Wonders & Cultural Treasures > Cultural Heritage
Most of Canada's canals consist of a series of locks allowing boats to overcome
obstacles such as dams, rapids, sandbars and rocky riverbeds. This type of construction
is one of the safest, most efficient methods of avoiding obstacles on a waterway.
A lock usually consists of a watertight basin known as a lock chamber, which is used to raise or lower the water level as required. Boats are raised or lowered by filling or emptying the lock chamber. Gates at each end of the lock chamber allow the boats to enter and leave. The gates are operated by various hydraulic, electric or manually operated systems, depending on the canal.
Sluices in the gates or walls of the locks are operated to fill and empty the lock chambers by gravity using the communicating vessels principle.
If the drop that the lock allows boats to negotiate is spread over a distance, a canal is built providing access to the lock.
Other works similar to the conventional lock system perform the same function for boats. These are hydraulic locks and boat lifts.
How a conventional lock operates for a boat heading upstream:
For boats heading downstream, the operation is reversed:
A boat lift consists of a flat wagon mounted on rails linking two bodies of water separated by an obstacle. The boats are towed onto the wagon, which is then hoisted out of the water by a winch at the top of the obstacle. The wagon then goes down the opposite side, into the second body of water.
The boat lift system is used at Big Chute, Ontario, on the Trent-Severn Waterway. It prevents the migration of fish species from one body of water to another.
A hydraulic lock consists of two lock chambers that can move up and down, acting as counterweights to each other, by means of a hydraulic system. Each lock chamber rests on a huge piston. As this piston moves up and down in its cylindrical casing, it pushes on the piston of the other lock chamber, which moves upwards. The lock at Peterborough, Ontario works in this way.

Paul McCusker of AES describes an example of innovation at AES and how it is seeding a platform for innovation.Interview conducted by Vinod Baya and Bo Parker
Paul McCusker is the CIO for the AES Europe, Middle East, and Asia region. He joined the company in 2010 with the acquisition of Ballylumford power station in Northern Ireland, where he was the commercial director. Previously McCusker was CEO of a recruitment software company based in Dublin, Ireland.
Other participants in this interview from AES were Philip Moore and Ross Bradley.
In this interview, Paul McCusker describes how digitizing the safety near-miss reporting process using emerging technologies is allowing IT at AES to drive innovation globally.
PwC: Can you please tell us about AES and the role of IT there?
PM: AES is a global company, and our organization, AES Kilroot Power Station, has been part of AES since 1992. We produce a third of Northern Ireland's electricity, or about 600 megawatts generation. The power plant is a dual coal- and oil-fired plant just outside Belfast. We also participate in the all-island electricity market here.
From an IT perspective, we are narrowing the gap between IT and how IT is viewed by the business. We are aligning IT with the business strategy and how the business is changing. As the business gets larger, our senior leaders recognize that technology and innovation will play a much more important part in the business. We are starting that transformation from being a facilitator to being an enabler and then bringing innovation to the organization, so we can transform business practices and provide real tangible business value.
PwC: You have a particular innovation that has been successful at AES. Can you please tell us about your system?
PM: We have created a system called Revelation. The initial idea was to turn a paper-based log into an application that would interact with users, the plant, the plant historian system, and the operating environment. It is turning into a software suite to allow IT to address current and future challenges of an evolving multifarious business.
The software helps the business collect and process data efficiently, make better and more informed decisions, and reduce risk in key areas such as safety, environment, and compliance. This project evolved naturally and is a real example of an innovative approach. This isn't a project that came from the top down. It's a project that came from the bottom up, from employees experiencing business challenges and using their knowledge of emerging technologies to bring improvement on many fronts and deliver business value.
Right now, we have rolled out this project at our power plant. Given the success we are having, we fully expect this approach to become a platform for innovation, so that new and similar ideas at any of our 100-plus power plants across the globe can be brought to business value quickly.
"As the business gets larger, our senior leaders recognize that technology and innovation will play a much more important part in the business."
PwC: What challenges were you were facing?
PM: We observed that there was scope to improve the reporting of safety and environmental incidents within the business. There was a manual process of collecting and scrutinizing data, and there were fundamental problems due to the lack of completeness and timeliness of the data being collected. Currently, most of the data is being collected by a paper-based method. That data then must be processed into various source systems, which is an arduous administrative task. We wanted to streamline the overall process.
Another challenge involved who had access and could use the data. We noticed that we had a vast amount of online monitored data that our PCS [Process Control System] was producing. But that data required daily analysis by engineers and skilled technicians to ensure that the plant was operating correctly. Also, information for operating the business, such as commercial, safety, environmental, and financial KPIs [key performance indicators] were unclear and inaccessible, as data was scattered around various subsystems. We wanted to make data more usable and accessible to a broader workforce. We also wanted to address potential problems before they happen and build the capability for ongoing, continuous improvement.
PwC: Can you please tell us about the solution?
PM: Sure. We have digitized the process of reporting and logging plant safety near misses¹ and related incidents. We have done so by simplifying and lowering the barrier to logging information. Revelation will allow any person with a mobile device to report safety near misses, which could be safety incidents, accidents, or potential problem areas. Reporting happens from the site, during routine safety walks by managers or during any incidents or accidental events.
To create a new log, now all you do is enter the details of the issue as free text, similar to composing an e-mail, and attach a picture of the incident using the camera in the mobile device. This information will then be transmitted back to the server where other people can process the information or, depending on the severity, automatically alert others to a potential problem. No need to carry about multiple bits of paper and store them.
"We wanted to make data more usable and accessible to a broader workforce. We also wanted to address potential problems before they happen and build the capability for ongoing, continuous improvement."
There are three key components to the system. Revelation mobile provides the mobile interface for logging. Revelation Web provides analysis and reporting via a Web interface. And a rules-based engine triggers alerts and work orders on the basis of the analysis and capture of live plant parts and process information. The system is also integrated to the SAP work order system, and rules have the ability to create SAP work order notifications through a secure Web service.
PwC: What benefit have you observed?
PM: The key benefit is reducing the risk of failure of any equipment by catching problems early and ultimately preventing the possibility of plant shutdown. For example, an employee has a handheld in his pocket. He passes a valve that is showing a symptom that could affect the availability of the generator. Instead of needing to remember to go back to the control room and log that as an issue, he can quickly open up the application on his handheld, take a picture, and log that incident straightaway. The information is recorded sooner and does not fall through the cracks.
The system improves our compliance with regulations. For example, one of the pieces of information that the system captures is the amount of oil that has been used by some of our equipment. The station uses various cooling systems to keep our assets operational. Typically, seawater is used as a cooling product. Leaks can occur in these cooling systems, and potentially the oil could discharge into the seawater, causing an unfavorable environmental impact.
By using Revelation and logging all the oil usage of the various tanks, we can now quickly determine how much oil is being used on-site. Using Revelation, we can quite quickly surface if we see an upward trend in oil usage and catch that before the problem manifests. Therefore, we reduce the risk of the plant going offline due to an environmental incident.
If something goes wrong, the earlier you spot it, the better. If something goes badly wrong, it can result in the plant needing to come offline. The commercial impact of that can be huge, not only in the loss of commercial availability for our customers, but also in penalties for us.
PwC: It seems like you have made information more broadly available to employees and improved their ability to act on it. What are your views on how much you open up access to information your systems are capturing?
PM: That's central to the success of the project. In some sense, we have opened up the data to all employees regardless of stature or position. Lots of information—including commercial, safety, or operational data—that used to be locked away in paper records is now available for all to access, use, and build on. Now anybody can view the information on the system. They have the full capability of seeing their information or others' information evolve from being logged to actually being closed off. We also have the ability to drive all those statistics and reports. So instead of management coming from the top down to say, "This is how we're performing," people can see for themselves and make their own decisions or develop their own views and then challenge management on ways that we can maybe make it better. The feedback that we've received is very positive. With the people here—particularly people in the plant, who are not usually very accepting of change—we've been very surprised with the support and feedback that we've had from the multidisciplinary teams.
"We want this system to evolve to be our innovation platform that is global and allows more employees both from IT and non-IT functions to drive greater innovation at AES."
PwC: Where do you go from here? What is the future of your system?
PM: We want this system to evolve to be our innovation platform that is global and allows more employees both from IT and non-IT functions to drive greater innovation at AES. That's essentially what the system should be about. Already, we have had quite a few people from the business approach us with a sketch or the idea of a workflow and similar innovations, and we've managed to implement some of these.
One of the good things about the rules-based engine is that it enables plant engineers to really drive the behavior of the system going forward, because we are providing the platform and facilitating that. The system is successful only if people pick it up, use it, and that actually changes how they do their job. We expect in the future it should promote and encourage people to share their knowledge and innovative ideas.
¹ A safety near miss is an unplanned event that did not result in injury or damage or any other threat to safety, but that had the potential to do so. Documentation and analysis of near misses improves an organization's environmental, health, and safety performance.

Nearly Perfect!
"Oh how I love these shoes - they arrived in the mail last week and I've worn them twice since (on the 60 degree days between snow storms, that is!). Very comfy, could wear them all day. However, they do run a little long - and if I don't add a cushion for under the ball of my foot, my foot slides forward, creating a tightness in the ankle strap (which I'm paranoid will rip!). I should have ordered a half size down from my regular size, but it wasn't available.But all in all, a well-made very comfortable shoe - lightweight and doesn't make me feel wobbly on my feet at all. Just a little long, but with the right insert/padding, you won't have any problem. :)"

Great shoes...But mine arrived damaged
"I was super excited to get my shoes in the mail but was disappointed when I opened the box and saw that that there was a long glue/paint mark across the wooden wedge, and the fabric part was dirty. For $60 I was expecting new, in good condition shoes!!!!! Are you kidding me? I use to love DSW, but my standards for them has dropped and I don't plan on purchasing from them online anymore. It is such a shame. I can't even replace them because I got the last in my size and color (blue striped ones.)However, other than the damage, these shoes are perfect! So comfy and cute, and really flatter my legs. They go with skirts, tights, shorts, dresses, rolled up jeans....Everything! Super adorable. Which is why I'm so sad that my pair are damaged. The sole is soft, and the wedge is a little higher than I expected but comfort and stability isn't a problem at all.My 1/5 rating is mainly for DSW. The shoes themselves would've been perfect if not in a practically used condition. That isn't what I paid for, and not the quality I expected. :("

Very cute but narrow across the width of the foot
"I purchased these in the sand color (no longer available) and loved the shoe but the band across the top of the foot was tight/narrow and gave my foot a muffin-top effect so sadly had to return them. Bought another model of Dr. Scholls wedge sandals in the same size and they fit perfectly so it has something to do with the band across the top on these."

ABAJO AND BLUE MOUNTAINS: Conservation Officer Randall Scheetz reports that a few Northern pike are being caught from shore at Recapture Reservoir. Crankbaits and/or spinners are recommended. Scheetz indicates that fishing at Blanding #3 has been good with PowerBait and spinners.
CLEVELAND RESERVOIR: Please avoid this reservoir until ice-off. The ice is dangerous and unpredictable.
DUCK FORK RESERVOIR: This body of water is fishless, but will be stocked with small tiger trout and Colorado River cutthroat in summer. The tiger trout are expected to be large enough to catch in 2004.
ELECTRIC LAKE: The rumor suggesting that there is no limit on fish at Electric Lake is false. At Electric Lake, there are no restrictions on the type of tackle which may be used, but the trout limit is the same as the statewide trout limit which is four fish. Tributaries will be closed until July 12. When tributaries open, the limit will be two trout; and artificial flies and lures must be used. The ice is multi-layered with slush and ice. Snow blankets the ice. Caution is strongly advised. The risk exists of falling through one or more layers of ice and slush. One group of anglers reported catching and releasing 60 fish in three hours using green or white jigs tipped with bait.
FERRON RESERVOIR: The trout limit is four. However, anglers may take a bonus limit of four brook trout in addition to the normal trout limit. All tributaries are closed until July 12.
GIGLIOTTI POND: Anglers should wait until May, when the reservoir is filled and restocking occurs. In 2003, the trout limit is 4 fish. All largemouth bass and bluegill must be immediately released.
GOOSEBERRY RESERVOIR: All tributaries are closed until July 12.
GRASSY TRAIL RESERVOIR: The reservoir is closed to fishing in 2003.
GREEN RIVER GOLF COURSE PONDS: The limit is four fish in the aggregate for all species.
HUNTINGTON CREEK: Flows are low. On the right fork (from Flood and Engineer's Canyon upstream to Electric Lake) only artificial flies may be used. The trout limit is two. On the left fork, only artificial flies and lures may be used. The harvest of brown trout is encouraged. A portion of Crandall Creek above the Genwal Mine is closed to fishing for 2003 to protect Colorado River cutthroat trout.
HUNTINGTON GAME FARM POND: The pond will be restocked in May. In 2003, the limit is four fish in the aggregate for all species.
HUNTINGTON NORTH RESERVOIR: The reservoir is ice-free. Fishing continues to be good with a black wooly bugger, which imitates the cutworm hatch. Aquatics Biologist Justin Hart caught and released a dozen brown trout along the dam a week ago. In 2003, the bass limit is two, all largemouth bass over 12 inches must be immediately released.
HUNTINGTON RESERVOIR (near the top of Huntington Canyon) This reservoir is extremely dangerous, due to the potential for buckling and subsidence of the ice pack. Please stay off! Anglers are urged to wait until ice-off, before resuming fishing. Tributaries are closed until July 12. The reservoir is closed to the possession of cutthroat trout or trout with cutthroat markings.
JOES VALLEY RESERVOIR: The ice pack is considered dangerous and further ice fishing is discouraged. In 2003, the trout limit is two. No more than one trout may be over 22 inches. All trout 15-22 inches must be immediately released.
KEN'S LAKE: Ken's Lake is rising and ice-free. After being nearly drained last fall, the lake is now quite full. Stocking will occur in April or May. In 2003, fishing is prohibited from a boat with a gas engine.
LAKE POWELL: The Lake Powell fishing report home page is: http://www.wayneswords.com. DWR Biologist and Project Leader, Wayne Gustaveson, updates fishing conditions at this website weekly. He provides detailed information on locations, tackle, and techniques for each species in the lake.
LASAL MOUNTAINS: No report.
MILLSITE RESERVOIR: The reservoir is ice-free. One angler emailed us to say his group of four caught their limits off the rocky points above the state park, using orange and purple PowerBait. The group fished four hours on March 12. Trout averaged 14 inches.
PRICE RIVER: Flows are extremely low. From the railroad bridge approximately one mile below the Scofield Reservoir dam downstream to the confluence with the White River only artificial flies and lures may be used.
SCOFIELD RESERVOIR: Success has been variable. Wind, snow, and cold have kept a lot of anglers off the ice. Two weeks ago, fishing was good with white or chartreuse-colored jigs tipped with bait or with PowerBait alone

hits the sweet spot
"Believe the story above from the woman whose husband saved his New York trip by switching to these shoes! They are super comfortable, very supportive, and flashy with the neon green accents. The mesh isn't too porous (you don't feel every blast of wind), but the shoe slipped on easily and started conforming to my feet and walking patterns almost immediately. Very happy with this purchase!"

very light and comfortable
"This is a very light and comfortable shoe. When I first got it, I almost felt like this was made of papers. Although it's light, it holds your foot very firmly and thus gives you comfort. Overall, i think this is a very good running shoe. However, I still haven't used it extensively so I can't say much about its durability in the long run. One other caveat is that the color is "highlighting green" not yellowish one shown in the picture."

Saved Hubby's feet
"Recently, on a trip to NYC, we visited DSW looking for comfy shoes for the Hubby to wear. All that walking and his dogs were barking plus he was getting super cranky. After trying on several pairs of shoes, he selected these NB shoes and wore them out of the store sans socks. Well, the crank-a-puss disappeared and happy Hubby returned. He wore these shoes for the rest of our trip almost constantly and when he wasn't wearing them, he was talking about how he wished he was. A very successful purchase and he continues to wear them in our home city."

This NOT written by me. I just thought this prediction was too good not to share.
NARUTO 619 : REASON TO BE REVIVED OROCHIMARU : The ones who know everything....THE PREVIOUS HOKAGE.... (The Four Hokages in attendance) SHODAIME : ?!! NIIDAIME : ?!! SANDAIME : ?!! YONDAIME : ?!!
(All the Hokages watching at the themselves standing inside a seal and then looks at the Four men in front of them) (Orochimaru licks out his tongue lying on the ground) NIIDAIME : Edo Tensei?!! How did we again..? SANDAIME : (looks at half Orochimaru and half Zetsu) You?!! YONDAIME : ...... SHODAIME : Some one used Edo Tensei once again. Its a Forbidden Jutsu. NIIDAIME : Also the user learned how to release the sealed souls out of the Shinigami's belly. SANDAIME : (lowers his head) I apologize Shodaime Hokage, Niidaime Hokage. It was my mistake that I allowed this man to live with the Forbidden Jutsus. (Orochimaru smirks) SASUKE : ....... JUUGO/SUIGETSU : ?!! (The two hokages looks at Hiruzen and then at Orochimaru) (Minato lowers his head) SANDAIME : Orochimaru knows the Edo Tensei Jutsu. Last time, he used you two to kill me and tried to destroy the village. OROCHIMARU : Sarutobi Sensei. There are lots of unsolved topics remained to be discussed here. That's why you all are resurrected. YONDAIME : You are an Uchiha, right? SASUKE : (looks at Minato)..... SHODAIME/NIIDAIME : Uchiha!! SANDAIME : (looks at Sasuke and remembers the only member of the Uchiha clan in the village) Uchiha Sasuke?!! SHODAIME : And where are we? SASUKE : You all are resurrected in the secret place of the Uchihas... NIIDAIME : (In a strict voice)And what for? SASUKE : (looks at Hiruzen) Itachi and the mask man told me everything. SANDAIME : Itachi?!! (remembers) [ ANBU ITACHI : Sandaime Hokage, I want you to look after Sasuke. After this mission.....(breeze of wind) I won't be able to look after him. I want him to preserve the Uchiha pride in the village. SANDAIME : ....... ] YONDAIME : The masked man?!! (remembers nine-tails attack on the village) NIIDAIME : Who is Itachi? And the mask man? SHODAIME : ...... SASUKE : Uchiha Itachi...(remembers Itachi's face)...the one who slaughtered the Uchiha clan in a single night except me... to save the village. SHODAIME/NIIDAIME/YONDAIME : slaughtered?!! SANDAIME : The Uchihas had set a coup de tat to take over the village. And to stop them, Danzo suggested to annihilate them. I couldn't stop it. Sasuke's brother, Uchiha Itachi, was a spy we set into the Uchihas and later he was ordered to assassinate the clan in return of his brother's life. SASUKE : ...... SHODAIME/NIIDAIME : ?!! NIIDAIME : And who is this mask man? YONDAIME : He called himself Madara Uchiha. SHODAIME : Madara?!! NIIDAIME/SANDAIME : Uchiha Madara!! YONDAIME : He was able to use space time ninjutsu when I fought him. He was the one who attacked the village with the Nine-tails. SHODAIME/NIIDAIME/SANDAIME : ?!! OROCHIMARU : He is not Madara Uchiha. He call himself Tobi. And...(looks at Minato) you know him Yondaime Hokage. YONDAIME/SANDAIME : ?!! YONDAIME : I know him? OROCHIMARU : He is that naiive student of yours. That Uchiha brat. YONDAIME : Obito? But why? (remembers the mission at Kannabi bridge and then the mission where Rin dies and unconscious Kakashi) [ could it be? ] (remembers Kakashi telling him that Rin was killed by his Chidori and do not know what happened later about the massacre around the battlefield) SASUKE : Don't know. But I want to know.... (looks at Shodaime) I want to know how the Uchihas behaved during your time. I want to know (looks at Niidaime) why you appointed them to Konoha's Police Force. I want to know (Looks at Sandaime) what made the Uchihas to set coup against the village. Why did you suggested to talk to the Uchihas? I want to know what was my clan, my village, the people. SHODAIME : ....... SANDAIME/YONDAIME : ..... NIIDAIME : ..... SANDAIME : So you decided to destroy the village. (sighs) (Other Hokages stares at Hiruzen with a shock and then looks at Sasuke for the answer) SASUKE : ......Yes... SHODAIME/NIIDAIME/YONDAIME : ?!! SASUKE : ..... after learning Itachi's truth, I decided to destroy the village because they used my brother. But I want to know what made my brother choose the village instead of the clan. OROCHIMARU : There is a war going out there. Tobi waged war on the Five Great Nations. HOKAGES : ?!! OROCHIMARU : He used living clones made from Shodaime's cells in thousands. Kabuto used the dead to support Tobi against the Great Nations. SHODAIME : ?!! OROCHIMARU : Obito wants to gather all the nine bijuus and revive the Juubi. The Akatsuki wanted to maintain peace among the nations through the bijuus. But the leader wanted to project the strong genjutsu over the moon so as to put every being on the earth into endless sleep. SHODAIME/SANDAIME/YONDAIME : Genjutsu?!! NIIDAIME : [ Infinite Tsukuyomi!! So he is fol-] SASUKE : The Juubi is revived and the one controlling it is Uchiha Madara. HOKAGES : ?!! YONDAIME : [ Naruto. ] SHODAIME : How is that possible? He died during our battle. OROCHIMARU : He fought you just for your DNA. I found it from his body when I was an Akatsuki member. OROCHIMARU : He was resurrected by my apprentice through Edo Tensei but it seems he freed himself from the binds and now he is immortal. SHODAIME : He must be dealt before its too late. And only I am capable of fighting him. OROCHIMARU : He is a Sage now. He has activated the Rinnegan. YONDAIME : Is Naruto dead? SASUKE : No. He's fighting against Madara. But-NIIDAIME : We must deal with them sooner. I'll take you there. YONDAIME : [ Hold on Naruto. ] SASUKE : (activates Susano'o) I want to know about the Uchihas. NIIDAIME : Susano'o. And quite an attitude you have kid. SASUKE : I want to hear the truth. Besides I'm not interested in the war. NIIDAIME : You will get your every answer on the Battlefield. Your every question relates to Uchiha Madara. SASUKE : ?!! (Niidaime slams his hand on the ground and a seal spreads across the room covering everyone inside the seal and a light flashes towards the ceiling) ---------------SCENE CHANGE---------------MADARA : The Juubi is set free. It will be hard to get it under control once again. OBITO : Yes. NARUTO : We won't let you control the Juubi anymore. KURAMA : ?!! (Juubi growls violently and releases a wave of Shinra Tensei across the battlefield) (A sphere is created around the Juubi holding everyone on the surface of the sphere and throws everyone miles away) (A huge crate is formed around the Juubi) (Juubi growls louder) SHINOBIS : Gyyyahhhh!! NARUTO : Gahhhh!!! OBITO : Gahhh!! MADARA : (shattered in pieces) [ Its hard to control it now. ] [ KURAMA : Naruto!! switch over. I must... NARUTO : What's the matter? KURAMA : Hurry up!! ] (Kurama and Naruto switches) (while being thrown Naruto extends chakra hands towards the gorund and leaps back) (Naruto goes in Kyuubi Chakra Mode taking the Kyuubi's shape) (The Kyuubi runs towards the Juubi in a hurry dodging every attack of its tails) (A huge blue aura is shown approaching the Juubi with high speed like a shooting star) MADARA/OBITO : ?!! KURAMA : (notices) ****!! (Kyuubi reaches near the Juubi) (Juubi activates Bansho Tenin) KURAMA : This is the time!! (Kyuubi makes his way up toward the Juubi's head) (On its way) (Kyuubi's chakra covered body covers with orange fur) (While approaching, his sharp nails started slicing Juubi's skin) (In a moment, Kyuubi completely transforms into the Demon Fox) (Grabs the neck of the Juubi with some of the tails and covers its mouth with the remaining tails) (The blue aura hits both of them) (But Kyuubi absorbs all of the aura before the Juubi eats away) [ KURAMA : I got it back. NARUTO : What?!! KURAMA : I got my sealed chakra back. NARUTO : But how did you knew it? KURAMA : The natural energy and the free chakra in the surrounding gets absorbed by the Juubi. The free chakra of mine approached the Juubi. Before it was eaten up by the Juubi, I had to regain it. That's why I had to hurry to approach the Juubi. NARUTO : Where did that chakra came from? KURAMA : Yondaime had sealed half of my chakra into the death god using the Death reaper seal. That huge amount of chakra was released. NARUTO : But dad died when he sealed half of your chakra inside him and remaining inside me, didn't he? KURAMA : ?!! ] (Kurama starts growing bigger and bigger to its original size) (He jumps off the Juubi) OBITO : ?!! The Kyuubi has regained its original size. MADARA : What do you mean original size? OBITO : Yondaime Hokage had sealed half of Kyuubi's chakra inside himself using the Reaper Seal. Does that mean someone broke the seal. But Who? How? and Why? SHINOBIS : (looking at huge Kyuubi standing in the battlefield) ?!! (The Juubi and the Kyuubi are facing each other in the crate formed before) (Wind blows away the dust) (Juubi creates another Bijuudama towards the Kyuubi) KURAMA : [ That amount of chakra. It will be difficult. ] (Juubi shoots the Bijuudama) KURAMA : ?!! SHINOBIS : ?!! MADARA/OBITO : ?!! (Kurama covers his body with the tails to block it) (Suddenly several woods grow out of the ground holding the Kyuubi's tails, legs, head intact) SHINOBIS : ?!! (And a giant forest grows out rapidly towards the Juubi blocking the Bijuudama and pushing it back towards the Juubi) (The Bijuudama is thrown up high in the air by the forest and grabs the Juubi) (Several branches holds the horns of the Juubi and pulls down such that the mouth of the Juubi is directed towards the sky and the eye of the Juubi is blindfolded) (Every tail of the Juubi is held under control by the trees) (The battlefield is covered with the dust from the chaos) (And Juubi and Kyuubi are shown unmovable in the binds of the Mokuton Jutsu) OBITO : ?!! (Madara is shown with hands clenched together to activate a seal) MADARA : ?!! Obito... is there any one else capable of using Mokuton. OBITO : (remembers Yamato) There is one person who had Hashirama's cells in him. MADARA : [ A jutsu of such huge scale. No. ] Something is wrong. OBITO : ?!! (The dust clears out) MADARA/OBITO/SHINOBIS : ?!!! (Kyuubi is trying hard to look down who is standing below his feet since the wood binds around his neck is making it hard for him) (The Four Hokages are shown standing on a branch of tree along with Orochimaru, Sasuke, Juugo, Suigetsu and the Zetsu) (Hashirama is shown with a handseal surrounded by the leaves of the trees in the surrounding) (The battle of the ages for the truth hidden deep starts

Yamaha has announced 'The Key Advantage', a series of six iBooks providing a new way for piano customers to engage with Yamaha and find out everything there is to know about all aspects of the Yamaha Piano range.
Welcome - A message from the S90 XS/S70 XS Development Team
We're extremely proud to introduce the new S90 XS/S70 XS as the successor to the original S90 ES. Equipped with exceptionally high-quality musical instrument sounds and a real piano-feel response, this is truly the instrument of choice for musicians and players worldwide, whatever the genre. Drawing on our long experience cultivated through years of synthesizer development, we designed this model not only for top professional musicians, but also for casual players and hobby musicians who want to have a greater level of high-quality sound, playability and advanced features - especially in live performance applications. To complete this lineup, we've added the S70 XS, a 76-key model which maintains the same keyboard touch as the 88-key model, yet provides the added value of portability.
The advanced and convenient features of the S90 XS/S70 XS do not stop there. The Remote Control functions and the Master Keyboard features have been enhanced and made more powerful to meet the demands of professional music production. We are proud and confident that the S90 XS/S70 XS can aid in your music making, and we're sure that it will be your first 'go-to' instrument in music situation, live performance, recording and so on. In order to take full advantage of the S90 XS/S70 XS's functionality, please read this manual carefully. We also recommend that you keep this manual in a safe and handy place for future reference.
We really hope that the S90 XS/S70 XS will help your creativity and musical work grow by leaps and bounds.
The Yamaha S90 XS/S70 XS Development Team
Sounds That Satisfy
The best musical instruments start with top-quality sounds, and the S90 XS/S70 XS delivers
all that - and more. The S Series features all the Voices, Performances, arps and Virtual Circuit Modeling effects found on the flagship MOTIF XS Music Production Synthesizer.
Plus we've added a huge 142 megabytes dedicated exclusively to high-quality piano waveforms, for a total of 456 MB of instrument samples.
Foremost among these new piano sounds are the new samples taken from Yamaha's
world-renowned S6 concert grand piano. These fully capture the richly textured sound of
that wonderfully expressive instrument, and provide a warm concert grand piano sound
unavailable on any other keyboard. For variation, the MOTIF XS piano based on a Yamaha
CFIIIS is also available.
Conventional keyboards in the past had their sounds designed primarily for the listener.
This time, however, our development team set out to primarily satisfy the player instead.
We reasoned that when the performer hears and experiences the best possible sound, the
performance would be the best possible, too! The result? The S90 XS/S70 XS is a genuine
musician's instrument, one that truly inspires and stimulates the live performer as well as
the music creator and arranger.
Streamline Your Performance
The S90 XS/S70 XS also lets you quickly and conveniently create your own custom Performances,
with the amazingly fast and easy Performance Creator feature. It's never been easier to
select a Voice, then quickly program Layers and Splits - even assigning a Drum Voice complete with arps to create your perfect Performance.
Let's say that you're playing a piano Voice and you want to layer a string sound on top of it.
Simply press the [LAYER] button, then select the desired Voice category and Voice, and store
your new Performance - just a few button presses and you're there!
Plus the panel controls of the S90 XS/S70 XS have been designed and positioned for optimum, intuitive operation, especially for live performance. For example, you can quickly select a Part, turn it on/off, set Arpeggio on/off, switch Arpeggio Hold - all done easily with the top panel controls - and instantly tweak important synth parameters via the Knobs and Sliders.
The perfect Performance has never been easier to create and control.
Ideal for Live Performers
The S90 XS/S70 XS has a host of other features that live performers
will appreciate - such as the combo input jack that accepts mic
input. Simply plug in a microphone, tweak
the INPUT GAIN knob (while checking the convenient PEAK lamp),
and you're all set! Plus, you can use the Control Knobs to finely adjust
the volume and even directly apply reverb or chorus to the sound.
Recording Direct to USB / Internal Memory
If you've got a USB memory device or thumb drive, you can plug it into the S90 XS/S70 XS
and record your performance as audio data. This remarkable feature lets you instantly
capture what you play on the keyboard - including arpeggio playback - to your USB device.
If you've connected a microphone or guitar, you can even record your singing or playing
as well. You can also record audio directly to the internal flash memory (192 MB) built
into the instrument, without the need of a memory device.
And keep in mind that anything you've recorded to the memory device, even audio files created
on your computer, can be played back on the S90 XS/S70 XS - which means you can create
your own custom audio backing tracks and perform along with them on the S90 XS/S70
XS. For example, you can create a basic song track beforehand, then sing and solo over it
during your performance. Or add guitar parts and vocal harmonies to be played back with
your live performance. There's also a useful Song Chain function that lets you string together
separate recordings and create a convenient backing track "set list" for your gigs.
76 & 88 Keyboard
The S70 XS has a 76-Balanced Hammer Effect keyboard in a compact, lightweight design. It's easy to use, exceptionally portable, and absolutely perfect for live performers and gigging musicians.
The S90 XS provides 88 -Balanced Hammer Effect keyboard for those players who need a full-range, full-scale keyboard.
Software Integration
Cubase AI - a powerful and versatile audio/MIDI sequencer - is included with the instrument, giving you complete music production capabilities right out of the box. And for editing the S90 XS/S70 XS from your computer, there's the S90 XS/S70 XS Editor. This provides convenient, comprehensive control over absolutely all the sounds, settings and functions of the S70 XS/S90 XS.
DAW Remote Function
The S90 XS/S70 XS is a perfect companion for your computer music production system, too, serving both as a master keyboard and a full-function, multi-timbral tone generator. With the DAW Remote function and its 50 different control templates, you get amazingly easy, intuitive control over your main DAW software and VST instruments - directly from the panel controls! Moreover, the Voice Editor and Remote Editor software gives you convenient, comprehensive computer control over all the sounds, settings and functions of the S70 XS/S90 XS.

Nearly 100 students from Canyon View Junior High School were recently honored as Top Cat Achievers for second term. To become a Top Cat Achiever, Canyon View students need to excel in academics, attendance, citizenship and community service. Also honored as Top Cat Achievers are honor roll students and those who attain an extraordinary numberof accelerated reader points.
The Top Cat Awards party was held on Jan. 20, and featured a program presented by Emery High School Sterling Scholars and advisor Neal Peacock. The sterling scholars met with the Top Cats in small groups and talked to them about the sterling scholar program, life in high school and how to prepare for the next level of education. More than anything else, the sterling shcolars encouraged the junior high students to get nvolved in a variety of programs while in junior high and to carry that participation into high school as well.
Canyon View Principal Larry Davis said, "The sterling scholars are certainly role models for these younger students and what they had to say made a lot of sense. It was good for our students to hear this message from kids they look up to."
Sterling scholars participating in the program were: Meagan Rogers, general scholarship; Allie Mangum, English; Bethany Peacock, speech/drama; Melissa Wilson, social science; Cadence Tuttle, music; Jeremy Gilbert, math; Michelle Johansen, business; Leo Wright, science; Kelsie V. Anderson, foreign language; Becky Wright, art; and Natalie Larsen, family and consumer science.
The Top Cat program included the presentation of achievement certificates and prizes. Also, those students earning the most points in each class were honored. They are: Zachary Clement, seventh grade; Camille Fehlberg, eighth grade; and Patrick Fehlberg, ninth grade.
The Canyon View Top Cat program is funded in part by an academic grant from Emery Telcom.

Jackall Flick Shake Worm
Jackall has developed a specific Flick Shake Worm and Wacky Jig Head, which work together as a system. The Jackall Flick Shake Worm has a built in curved design, which creates a squirming action that the fish cannot resist. The Flick Shake Worm is also salt injected and has a live bait scent. The jig head's eye is designed at a ninety-degree angle for better hook setting and less snags. The hook has a short shank to allow the worm more action. The tungsten weight allows the worm to sink faster and has a smaller head to create the right action. Jackall mastermind Seiji Kato used it to win the co-angler title at the 2007 Amistad Bassmaster Elite.
Jackall Weedless Wacky Jig Head
Try fishing the Octopus Rig, the newest way to fish the Jackall Flick Shake in Japan. Use two Jackall Flick Shake Worms, offset at 90 degrees, on a Jackall Weedless Wacky Jig. After rigging both worms on the jig head rotate the first 90 degrees and run it back onto the hook, creating an "X".

Customer Reviews
Comments: I have been using these since mid season 2016. They are AWESOME! The number of 5+ pound bass I have caught on these is staggering. Pretty much every single time I go out. I had to switch back to worms when the bass at my local honey hole stopped hitting crankbaits. I was using Berkley Power Worms, but they weren't quite cutting it. I bought the Jackall Flick Shake's on a whim at a local tackle store and decided to try them out. It wasn't long before the big girls started gobbling them up! They love these things! The only "con" is that these worms are very fragile. But the the way they are made is also why the bass hit them! They evidently look irresistible in the water. I mostly rig these on a shaky head and tick/hop them across the bottom in brush or at the edge of grass.
From: Jason: Cape Girardeau, MO 12/27/16
Comments: 4.8 for smallies when I can't get a bite. Worm like no other. Narrow river with a little bit of current and these things shine. Small split shot or 1/16 Oz wacky head and just let it drift in the current. Usually doesn't take long for it to get smacked and choked. Not necessarily a big fish bait, but it can turn a bad day around for sure. I prefer it to the Senko in most scenarios.
From: Mark: USA 7/13/15
Comments: These things will catch fish when nothing else will. The only down side is durability but I have figured out a trick. Take two o rings and tie them together with the wire from a bread bag twist tie and run your hook through the wire this will make them last for several fish
From: Dave: Sykesville, MD 7/11/15
Comments: I use 7in Camo and Green Pumkin wacky style and these are bass slayers. The action on these drive the bass nuts. I have to agree though the durability of these are very low basically only get 1-2 fish on each worm before needing to replace it with a new one. In my eyes its worth it because i'm catching fish.
From: Bob: NJ 6/10/15
Comments: they are absolute bass slayers. If I'm fishing for numbers, I go with the 4.8 but the 5.8 in watermelon red flake just seems to get me the bigger ones out of the Ohio. The only thing that sucks about these is they tear super easy because they are super soft but that's what makes them work so well I think.
From: Jesse: VA 6/2/15
Comments: This is a great product. I use the 4.8 in a cola color and absolutely smash them at one of my favorite ponds for bank fishing. I caught 15 in about a hour and a half. I throw it on a 6'8" St Croix Mojo spinning rod with a Shimano Symmetry 3000 and 6lb Seaguar InvisX. Rig it wacky and weightless with a 1/0 VMC wacky hook. Deadliest combo for finesse fishing in clear water.
From: Nick: NJ 12/2/14
Comments: These have been out for like 32 years, so they are not new...but they are still catching fish. They work, no matter how you wanna rig them. So buy them. If I say they work, they work. You can trust Uncle Jay.
From: Jay6: USA 10/8/14
Comments: I got these after reading a few reviews and watching some videos. I never really caught anything on them, just little bites from little fish. I was going through my stuff and wanted to use up some of my opened plastics before winter. I took all my Fick Shake Worms and 1/16th oz Owner Wacky Jigheads. Holy $%@# balls! I caught 12 fish, all of them on the flick shake 4.8 and 5.8 Cola and few on the 4.8 and 5.8 junebug. I hooked at least another 12. This thing works! I was catching bass, catfish, bowfin, bluegill, yellow perch and white perch all on one bait! Just wished they lasted longer on the hook.
From: Cal: Virginia Beach, VA 9/29/14
Comments: This is my go to soft plastic! Bass absolutely love them. I use the "inchy wacky" method on bedding bass, and they slay it! My wife recently received orders for Germany, and I've been using them over here as well. Slaying Pike, Zander, and Perch. The sell a 3.8" version over here. I wish Tacklewarehouse carried this size. They are great on finicky fish, and after cold fronts. I'll have to stock up before we come home. I can't say enough about this bait! Amazing action, and they just plain work! Get ya' some!
From: Phil: Landstuhl, Germany
Comments: Holy Crap! this bait works! Rig it wacky on the jackall tungston weedless jighead. Tons of bites, i went through two bags in a day catching 15 bass. The plastics on this bait is durable, just make sure to re-rigged it every two catches or it might slip off the hook though.. This bait outfishes Zoom's trick and finesse worms.
From: Tim: NC
Comments: holy crap.......freakin amazing bait....went though a pack in 50 minutes....the catch tons of fish........big and small......not durable, last maybe 2 fish max.....still worth it
From: Mitch: s, WIherwood
Comments: Awesome! Fish em the same way as a senko and you'll kill em. Produces big fish as well. The place where I fish, bass wont touch the senko, but love this bait.
From: Mike: Chicago, IL
Comments: these were one of my go to baits i would catch 7 fish in only 2 hours and 30 mins my favorite colors were camoflauge sun burn punkin pepper
From: Brian: Costamesa
Comments: QUICKLY becoming my go-to straight tail. A friend tossed me a pack to try about a month ago. Thanks to him, I am ordering more, and hese turkeys aint CHEAP. But ya know what, kids? They are pretty durable.
From: Meatwad: Keeping Japan's economy goin strong.
Comments: AUSOME! Best lure ever designed! Use it for whatever the situation calls for, they all work great. Fish suck em' up and just swim away with em'! I wish there was a chartuese pepper color. I just wish they would stay on the hook longer!
From: Jerry: Blue Island, IL
Comments: I used this all year last year and they are a lil pricey but i love em. I used the zoom finesse worms instead bc they r cheaper but i they arent the same. These in my opinion are the best wacky worm with the smallest wacky jig head. I have caught 28 bass with in about 2 .5 hours. Good worm for anyone!
From: Ryan: Lincoln, NE
Comments: These work. In my opinion, it is a bit of a toss up between these and the Zoom Trick Worms... Most days, I'm throwing the Trick Worm (E.g. Wacky Rigged), but some times/days, the flick shake worms seem to work better for my friends and I. Don't ask me why or how this happens, as I'm not sure myself, but it does. Not often, but it does. The Watermelon colored varieties work best for me and my buddy, on most days (E.g. Central Florida ponds and lakes), but some odd days the June Bug or Candy Bug colors work better... Mileage - I.e. success, with colors in your area will likely vary, so start with colors close to what works in your neck of the woods...
From: Shawn: Tampa, FL
Comments: You have to fish it with a weight, i like to fish my wacky worms weightless just based on the lakes that i fish and these sink way too slow. good worm but would be awesome if they made one that you could fish weightless
Comments: best wacky rig worm on the market period. The best color for me is Cinnamon solid.. Buy them you will NOT be disappointing!!!!
From: Jason: USA
Comments: All I have to say is wow, I've never caught so many bass in an hour ever before. 10 bass in an hour, biggest being 4lbs 3oz. Just pitch it into any kind of cover, be it timber, a weed edge, drop off, etc, twitch it a couple times, and hold on. I had the best luck with the bluegill color.
From: Mike: Waukesha, WI
Comments: this my fellow ninjas is the bomb! i have caught 27 large mouth in about 3 hours biggest being 9 lbs. use the 6.8 inch with 3/32 jig head wacky style and get ready for the big fish.
From: Bob "big boy" Pham: Auburn, AL
Comments: This is my first full season fishing bass. On my second outing this year (6/5/11), I caught a ~4 pounder, a slightly bigger bass than the previous weeks personal best. I was using a 3/16 oz. wacky jig I bought off of eBay with the Flick Shake worm in Watermelon Red Flake. My first two bass of the season were both new personal bests!
From: Austin: St. Paul, MN
Comments: All I can say is man, this bait is the $%#!!!! It catches bass, when nothing else will. I buy them quite frequently because
they get blasted when the big bass hit it. I dont mind this bait is awesome!
From: Brian: Akron, OH
Comments: This is my go to bait when nothing is working. Caught a pile at KY lake last weekend under very tough conditions. I take a small piece of shrink tubing and slide it over the middle, run the hook through that, last 5X longer...
From: Dave: Kentucky
Comments: What a great spawn bait. Jiggle it on the bed and POW! Caught 20 + lbs in 3 hours on a very heavy pressured lake.
From: Matt: Fredricksburg, VA
Comments: I fish this bait texas style with great success. I try differnt colors and and retrieve methods depending upon conditions here in south florida. This and chompers are my go to baits when conditions are rough. Caught many 5 to 10 pounders. Junebug and cola seem to be the best colors. Much cheaper than the senko anf the action is great. Thanks Tackle warehouse for introducing this bait!
From: Larry: Coconut Creek, FL
Comments: This bait was designed for wacky fishing and "inch'wacky", and it really is one of th ebest ever for those 2 technics. Its molded bent body provocate great action inch'wacky rigged on a 1/16 or 1/8 oz zappu inch'wacky head. Perfect for high pressured bass.
From: Fab: France
Comments: Amazing! A little pricy and they seem to only last for a few fish but definitly a bass catcher.
From: Mike: Georgia, USA
Comments: I think it is safe to say it makes all other finesse worms obsolete. The only bad thing is for 5 dollars you only get about 7 worms? BUT you gotta pay to play. I like the 4.8 for drop shottin, 5.8 for shakey heads and the 6.8 for the wacky jighead technique. Big bass love the 6.8 so get ready. Dont be afraid to fish em on light line sometimes I go as far down to 6lb test fluorocarbon. Invizx is good, you will get a ton more bites.
From: Juan: Annadale, VA
Comments: This worm is really a bait because it always will produce a bite no matter the conditions or season. Only problem is that are quite expensive and are really soft which gives it the great action but also leads it to fly off the hook after just one fish :(
From: Sean: Rahway, NJ
Comments:I love the flick shake worm. I use the 4.8" on a Luck E Strike 1/16 oz perfect finesse weighted hook. The added weight allows for better casts and makes it a bit easier to control and detect the strike when fishing weedless around brush and wood. I fish a lot of pressured water and this worm has produced fish every time.
From:Frank: Birdsboro, PA
Comments:I've had some good fish (bass and pickerel) on the 4.8'' green pumpkin pepper on the 1/8 oz. wacky rig jig head. Still have to try the 5.8'' I have in the black red flake.
From:Joseph: Liverpool, NY
Comments:I caught 17 largemouth's in 90 minutes using this Worm. And I live in NJ of all places. This combo of Flick Shake Worm and Jackall's shaky head hook is amazing. I use no other hook and worm. And I mean never.
From:Peter: Lyndhurst, NJ
Comments:I am yet to catch fish on these Wacky rigged but on a shakey head they are deadly.
From:Andrew: Mission Viejo, CA
Comments:The 6.8" worm is a big fish magnet, I fish it with a 3/8oz. shaky head. All I can say is WOW.
From:Eddie: Georgetown, KY

Tuesday of the 7th Week
The Gospel according to Luke 11:34-41
The Lord said, "Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye is sound, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light." While he was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him; so he went in and sat at table. The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner. And the Lord said to him, "Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of extortion and wickedness. You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? But give for alms those things which are within and behold, everything is clean for you."
