Comments: This bait is awesome! It is even more awesome on a carolina rig! I love the bruiser color, works around here in TX, cause of the stained water! I would make sure to try some FOR SURE. This bait will help you catch a TON of fish
From: Brayden: Henderson, TX 3/14/16
Comments: best worm out there very durable & when the front of bait rips cut off a bit 're rig and keep fishing awesome bait!
From: Joe: RI 5/10/15
Comments: Great bait! Soft yet durable covered with oily scent soft but durable. I like the reverse design on the ribs, push more water but don't hang up and the tail moves very easily. Ribbon tails are important down here, this has some subtle details that set it apart. Put the hammer down on a 6 pounder first time out.
From: Mike: Jacksonville, FL 10/23/14
Comments: The worm works great it also has lots of action. The bass seem to hit it on the fall. I was able to catch a nice 4lbs Largemouth Bass on my first cast. Really pleased with this bait great job Missile Baits.
From: Jordan: Wirtz, Virginia, USA
Comments: Wow, great worm!. The action is a lot better than your everyday ribbon tail worm. I LOVE Missile Baits because the lures are as soft as Roboworm and Yamamoto, but incredibly durable. Great job John Crews and MAYBE,**(hint hint), you could come out with a stick bait and a fluke. Just figured I'd through that out there... (:
From: Elijah: Mystic, CT
Comments: Great Baits, very durable as far as im concerned like Tyler said all u gotta do is bite off 1/4 of an inch and rehook!!! I got these for free for buying $15 worth of other missile baits and love them, will def be buying some!!!
From: Drew: L'burg, TN
Comments: This bait is a great bait in the rivers! My favorite color is the red shad green. Great imitation of a large crawdad! I highly disagree with the first comment, baits are very durable, all you have to do is bite off top rib and rehook and keep fishing. I caught 6 fish today that would have went about 17 lbs, on one worm!
From: Tyler: Clayton, NC
Comments: This bait is killer, not only can you fish it like a regular worm, but with the twin tails, you can run it on the surface with great action.
From: Rich: NJ

Hendrick Motorsports machinest is brother of slain MIT officer. Five-time NASCAR champion Jimmie Johnson says 'it's a very sad time.'
KANSAS CITY, Kan. – Hendrick Motorsports confirmed that one of its employees is the brother of the police officer killed Thursday night during the manhunt for the Boston Marathon bombing suspects.
Massachusetts Institute of Technology police officer Sean Collier, 26, of Somerville, Mass., was shot and killed in the line of duty.
Andrew Collier, 25, joined Hendrick in September 2008 and works as a machinist in the team's engine department.
SEAN COLLIER: MIT officer killed Thursday night
FULL COVERAGE: Boston bombings manhunt unfolds
SUPPORT: NASCAR teams plan tribute
"It's a very sad time," five-time champion Jimmie Johnson, who drives the No. 48 Chevrolet for Hendrick, said before Sprint Cup practice Friday at Kansas Speedway. "My thoughts and prayers are with the Collier family. It's the same for all of Hendrick Motorsports. We're one big family. It's sad and unfortunate to see a teammate and his family going through such a tough time."
Hendrick Motorsports released a statement that reads in part:
The thoughts and prayers of everyone at Hendrick Motorsports are with Andrew Collier and his family. Andrew, a machinist in the Hendrick Motorsports engine department, tragically lost his brother, Officer Sean Collier, last night in Cambridge, Mass. We ask that the family's privacy be considered during this difficult time.
Johnson has multiple connections to Monday's tragedy in Boston. He learned Tuesday that Nicole Gross, who suffered several injuries in the blast (including a broken leg, ankle and severed Achilles' tendon), is a swim coach at the Charlotte pool where Johnson often trains.
"Once that hit home, wow," Johnson said. "I know who she is. I know her face. That brought it closer to home. To learn the news this morning of (Collier's death) brings us closer to it again.
"We absolutely will race with heavy hearts. A sporting event where most people are competing for the awareness of a charity or a cause, to have these innocent people who are there in the spirit of giving back and have this tragedy take place, it's just ridiculous. As a society, it's hit us deep on that.
"But in the last three hours, it's gone to a new level knowing that a fellow teammate is directly involved with what's taken place in Boston."
Roush Fenway Racing had already made plans to honor the victims of Monday's attacks in Boston, which left three dead and more than 180 wounded.
The race team, which is partially owned by the group that owns the Boston Red Sox, plans to donate $100 for every lap the team leads to The One Fund Boston, which was set up to help people affected by the bombings. The team's three Sprint Cup cars — driven by Carl Edwards, Greg Biffle and Ricky Stenhouse Jr. — will also carry "B-Strong" decals, done in Red Sox script, that have cropped up this week.
"When events occur such as what happened earlier this week in Boston, it is our nature to be overwhelmed with a variety of emotions," Jack Roush said in a statement. "To have to withstand an act of such senselessness and cowardice against innocent people is disheartening to us all. Our hearts go out to the victims and their families, as well as the entire city of Boston."
Edwards said he hasn't had a chance to put the events of Boston in perspective, but realizes how fortunate he is to be driving a car this weekend.
"I can't quite grasp what's going on, I guess the consequences of it, but any time you see that, for me personally, it makes you realize the world is a crazy place," Edwards told the Associated Press.
Michael Waltrip Racing will honor the bombing victims on its three cars at Kansas with special door numbers that replicate marathon bibs. Team owner Michael Waltrip ran the event in 2000 and said "the news was very personal to me. When I ran the Boston Marathon in 2000, I remember thinking about what a privilege it was to be able to participate and all the hard work it took to be there. When you can see those international flags flying in Copley Square, you know you are about to complete your journey. I know the joy those runners were feeling at that moment when their worlds changed."
Said MWR driver Clint Bowyer: "It's touched everybody all week long. It's a tragedy and a shame that these things keep happening. It's very, very sad. Everyone has been thinking about it. To hear about the Hendrick organization and family (being affected), it's sad. It's been a tough week for all of us following this. All the families affected in (the West, Texas) explosion was another crazy incident. It's been a sad week."

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Florida State football coach Jimbo Fisher issued an apology Monday afternoon for using the word "retarded" in reference to the BCS college football rankings.
Fisher's Seminoles are 9-1 but ranked behind three teams with two losses apiece. During his weekly press conference Monday, Fisher was told that some computer rankings, which are factored into the BCS standings, have FSU slotted behind teams with as many as four or five losses.
Fisher responded rhetorically: "How retarded is that?" He then outlined several objections he has with the rankings process, including his opinion that the BCS "stinks." Part of the reason the Seminoles are downgraded by the computers is because their schedule included two teams from the lower-level Championship Subdivision, Murray State and Savannah State.
Fisher's comments touched off immediate debate on social media sites and Internet message boards about whether the "retarded" comment was offensive.
Special Olympics Florida and other groups have lobbied against the use of that word because it can be hurtful to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
In issuing a public apology, Fisher said he made a "poor choice of words."
"It was brought to my attention I used a word during today's conference that I did not intend to use," Fisher said. "That's not the way I think. It was a poor choice of words. I didn't mean to offend anyone in any way.
"Please accept my sincere apology."

The Emery County Headstart parents recently participated in a drug awareness session presented by Deputy Paul Simmons from the Emery County Sheriff's Office. Deputy Simmons encouraged the parents to be aware of what is going on around them and to report suspicious people or activities to the sheriff's office.
Deputy Simmons said rural areas are being used all the time for the making of methamphetamine. Suspicious things to watch for would include camp trailers parked in outlying areas with vents and hoses coming out of them. He said these types of meth producers are hard to catch because they move around a lot. But with public awareness and community help they can be caught. Deputy Simmons said he knows that everyone cares about their kids and nobody wants their child to grow up to be a drug user. He stressed the need for parental involvement and knowing where kids are and where they are going at all times. Know who they are associating with and the company they are keeping.
Small children need to be educated about the risks involved in taking drugs and the damage it can have on their body. Deputy Simmons showed pictures to the parents showing what happens to a body on drugs. He showed the deterioration of the teeth of a meth user. Meth users also put their meth use as their highest priority. They will buy meth before they will buy food for their children. Meth use by parents puts the children at risk. Chemicals used in the production of meth are extremely hazardous. He also showed victims of accidents from meth production and the serious burns that can occur. People have been burned and killed when tanks rupture and blow up.
Deputy Simmons said that brain activity decreased in drug users and losses in brain function may never be regained. Serious damage to the body results in meth use. Meth is highly addictive and treatment and recovery for meth users doesn't have a very high recovery rate. Sometimes meth users who are treated for depression can be helped.
Deputy Simmons said he is involved in teaching the DARE program at Cleveland and Huntington Elementaries. He believes positive peer pressure in encouraging children to stay off of drugs is helpful.
At the junior high level, peer helpers are used to encourage junior high age children to stay off of drugs.
Education on what you have to lose if you become a drug user is helpful in keeping children off drugs.
The Headstart parents also received reports on how their children are doing in preschool. They worked on establishing a parent committee and planning future activities for the Headstart children.

Lambert's second son Constant Lambert (1905–1951) became an important English composer and conductor, and a pioneering exponent of jazz techniques. He won a scholarship to the Royal College of Music in 1922, and he was the first English composer to be commissioned to write a ballet score for Diaghilev's Ballets Russes. In 1929 his choral work in the jazz idiom Rio Grande was performed by the Hallé Orchestra to great acclaim. He was the musical director of the Vic-Wells ballet from its creation in 1931 until 1947, and then musical adviser for the Sadler's Wells ballet from 1948. His ballet music includes Horoscope (1938) and Tiresias (1951). He was also a witty critic of contemporary music, most notably publishing his views in Music ho! (1934). Amusing and iconoclastic, he was the prototype for the character Hugh Moreland in Anthony Powell's A dance to the music
of time .
Lambert created a strong portrait of Constant, using energetic brushstrokes. He carefully modelled the head to capture the fresh, youthful charm of his subject. He presented his son's slight figure somewhat vulnerably perched on a stool, with his eyes looking into the distance distractedly. He contrasted the bright blue of the backdrop against the golden yellow of Constant's stockings.
Constant was a model for many of Lambert's group compositions, but this was Lambert's first portrait of him, painted when Constant was eleven. At this time he was a scholarship student at Christ's Hospital school at Horsham, Sussex, where students were referred to as Blue-coats on account of their distinctive dress. Lambert would appear to have painted it soon after Constant started at the school (in September 1915) and before he became ill with osteomyelitis.

Forget about hearts and flowers and poetry. Love is all in your head -- the brain, to be precise. So let's strip the romance out of those lovey dovey feelings and get down to the neurochemicals and physiology that release a swarm of butterflies when encountering a new crush. See how much you really know about all that mushy stuff with the Science of Love Quiz.

0 out of 20
Question 1 of 20
How many sperm will make it all the way to a woman's egg?
A few dozen
Although the average ejaculate contains about 150 million sperm, only a few dozen will complete the arduous journey all the way to the egg.
150 million
Question 2 of 20
What percentage of adult women have never experienced an orgasm?
15 percent
Between 10 and 15 percent of adult women report anorgasmia, or never having an orgasm.
25 percent
45 percent
Question 3 of 20
The gene variation allele 334 is linked to what behavior?
inability to have an orgasm
A 2008 headline-sparking genetic investigation out of Sweden identified allele 334, a genetic variation associated with male infidelity. Allele 334 interferes with the brain's processing of vasopressin, a neurochemical associated with monogamous pair bonding.
Question 4 of 20
What percent of men have a favorable view of vibrators in the bedroom?
30 percent
50 percent
70 percent
A 2011 survey from Indiana University's Center for Sexual Health Promotion found that 70 percent of men welcome sex toy assistance in the bedroom.
Question 5 of 20
People exchange what arousal-stimulating hormone when they kiss?
Locking lips with a fellow is like taking a testosterone pill, since guys pass it along in their spit.
Question 6 of 20
Which of the following neurochemicals isn't as active during early phases of romance?
During the early attachment phase of love, serotonin takes a back seat, residing at low levels, while other reward-regulating chemicals take over. As a result of that serotonin dampening, people become borderline obsessed with their beloveds, unable to focus or eat whenever apart.
Question 7 of 20
The clitoris contains how many nerve endings?
The clitoris is an incredibly sensitive sex organ, and its external hooded glans is packed with 8,000 nerve endings.
Question 8 of 20
Which bonding chemical is released in the female brain during an orgasm?
Oxytocin is especially potent in the female body, washing over the brain during a climax as well as after childbirth, bonding mother and baby.
Question 9 of 20
What percentage of mammals practices monogomy?
3 percent
Only 3 to 5 percent of mammalian species practice lifelong social monogamy, sticking to the same pair bond for the life term.
10 percent
30 percent
Question 10 of 20
Who typically says "I love you" first?
A 2011 study conducted at Pennsylvania State University found that male college students were more likely to fall in love and drop the magic three words sooner than their female co-eds.
Neither. Men and women initiate "I love you" equally.
Question 11 of 20
True or false: Most adulterous men didn't anticipate cheating on their partners.
Approximately two-thirds of adulterous men didn't think they would ever cheat on their partners. Women, on the other hand, tend to anticipate their cheating behavior before it happens.
Question 12 of 20
Which of the following is NOT a physical sign of attraction?
flushed cheeks
sweating palms
constricted pupils
People's pupils dilate rather than constrict when they're looking at someone who rings their bell. Moreover, heterosexual men find women with wider pupils more feminine and attractive.
Question 13 of 20
According to a 1996 study from Pennsylvania State University, women expect to wait how many dates before having sex with a new partner?
The female study sample reported 12 dates as the appropriate amount of time to wait before having sex, compared to men who preferred to sleep over after eight dates.
Question 14 of 20
Approximately what percent of the population is asexual?
1.5 percent
Based on 1994 survey data from British households, about 1.5 percent of people have never felt sexual attraction to men or women.
5 percent
11 percent
Question 15 of 20
True or false: Men think about sex every 7 seconds.
Most men apparently have better things to do than think about sex every 7 seconds. For instance, a study published in 1990 in the Archives of Sexual Behavior asked 49 male college students to tally up their sexual fantasies over a week, and the results averaged to just 7.5 sexy thoughts per day, which works out to once every 3.2 hours.
Question 16 of 20
What chemical is responsible for making our hearts race when we see someone who tickles our fancy?
During early-stage romantic love -- scientific terminology for the honeymoon phase -- the brain releases norepinephrine whenever we're around a love interest, amping our heart rate and shaking us into action.
Question 17 of 20
True or false: Men with lower voices have more viable sperm.
A recent Australian study at last debunked the popular correlation between sperm quality and vocal tone.
Question 18 of 20
Female ovulation is associated with which of the following?
a drop in vocal pitch
wearing less makeup
Women's peak fertility can result in a range of interesting behaviors, including shopping for new outfits and wearing more makeup. One study also found that ovulating women are more likely to cheat on their current partners.
Question 19 of 20
Which sense might give women the most accurate assessment of a man's genetic fitness?
Of course, heterosexual women want handsome hunks by their sides, but the nose might know better than the eyes. Research has found that the female body innately "sniffs" out a man's genetic compatibility, and those with the most pleasing musk are better candidates for having healthier offspring.
Question 20 of 20
What chemical is often implicated in satisfying, long-term marriages?
Although oxytocin and vasopressin initially establish the romantic bond between two people, dopamine is what refreshes the romance as the years wear on. Brain scan studies of happily married couples have demonstrated how their dopamine reward system lights up in response to merely seeing a picture of their 'til-death beloved.

Last time we linked up with Kuro, they showed us a gradient of denim washed, aged, and treated for different lengths of time, and told us the best way to wear distressed vintage jeans was with a tailored blazer and a crisp, clean button-down. Sound advice that doesn't expire, it turns out, since we ran into them this week and they were keeping with their vintage meets tailored aesthetic. "Denim for the Yohji fan," they explained, showing us a dapper mannequin outfitted in the customer image. Selvedge trimmed back pockets, top-stitching, and other details characterize this impressive Japanese brand. Check them out online for more on their philosophy and products.

As the temperature rises, so do the hemlines. And while the prospect of wearing short shorts and tank tops is welcome in the summertime humidity and heat, sometimes you want (or need!) to feel a bit more covered-up. The solution? Add a sheer, blouse-y top when wearing your favorite pair of denim shorts. Buy over-sized and tuck it in to tone down the volume. For a lot more coverage, it won't add that much bulk or cause you to break out into heat palpitations. Win-win.

If you grew up in school uniforms and now shudder at the thought of polo shirts and khaki slacks, it might be time for you to reconsider the power and styling fun of a well-placed classic. A crisp prepster shirt or a pair of boat shoes can bring a super-wild outfit down to earth or add an extra dose of polish and Audrey Hepburn panache. Still wary? Topshop's Denim Tie Front Shirt is a good middle ground. For $50, we love its laid-back preppiness and general versatility. In fact, we've come up with four ways to wear this piece–and you can surely think up more!

We love the photography blog Jak & Jil—it's a perfect example of how "street style" photography has evolved into something both more authentic (sans-posed photos and preconceived outfits), and more intense (the shots are full of models post-show with crazy hair, and many feature European fashion week go-ers who can afford some pretty epic attire). While trends like pastel hair and gem-covered shoes may come and go as you scroll through the pages, one thing keeps popping up over and over: great ways to style denim. All cameos by this dash of instant cool spark a host of ideas about layering, cuffing, distressing, and pairing. We recommend bookmarking.

This married B list celebrity/singer who wants so badly to be A+ list and will try anything to get it binged and then purged on enough McDonald's for four people yesterday
. She says it is the only way she can eat the food she likes.
Eating disorder day folks.ReplyCancel
Beth DittoReplyCancel
@bbhood- that's Michael K's nickname for Leann RimesReplyCancel
Leanne Rimes woolfing down a sandwich in DM, isn't she shopping a reality Series?ReplyCancel
Rita WhoraReplyCancel
I'm too lazy to go through it again, but this is terrible! Kris tried to make Khloe feel bad about her weight, that's ultimately what lead to our separation. Well, there were a number of things but that was my final straw.ReplyCancel
In all fairness, whenever I eat Micky D's anymore (once or twice a year), I inevitably have an urge to vomit about 15 minutes later. It's like my body is rejecting it. So this might be more about a weak gag reflex than an eating disorder.
And before you ask why I subject myself to this: Sometimes I just get a craving for trash food more overwhelming than my brain's "Danger, Will Robinson! Danger!" alarm. Mmmm… Big Mac… mmmmm.ReplyCancel
Bruce, Kris harasses me constantly about my weight too. It only makes me want to binge on Chinese food, pizza and burgers. Kim is even worse! She is such a moron.ReplyCancel
If I'm such a moron, how did I get in to Mensa? Go eat another burgerReplyCancel
Bruce, fuggeddaboutit. She tells me all the time that if I ever plan on leaving Kourt, her door is wide open.ReplyCancel
@kim, by having someone open the door?ReplyCancel
See Kim, even strangers think you are a moron. You are not in Mensa, go take another boob selfie and shut up.ReplyCancel
Rob, dont listen to your mother. She means well but she has no tact. Remember: opening ceremony at my place tonight. I got the chef for the night!ReplyCancel
Thanks Bruce. I'll come to the beach house tonight if there are some healthy dinner choices for me and if mom isn't there.ReplyCancel
Where's my invitation dad? Is this another family function that I'm not invited to?ReplyCancel
@bombing the last few tines Ive eaten Mickey D's 2 hours late I wound up on the throne for ten minutes. No more.ReplyCancel
*@nomnom *ReplyCancel
Oh please…I bet this celeb/singer ate a Big Mac and some fries. There is no way that someone who doesn't eat like this all the time, would not get full quickly…even if they were to purge.
Also…how do they know that after she at it she purged? Highly doubt she would go into a McD gross, pee ridden bathroom and do it there.ReplyCancel
I truly, truly love you VIP.ReplyCancel
Hi Brody! Of course, you're invited! I've only been talking about this all week! You said you were coming. Kris will NOT be there and I have the family chef to cook and yes Rob, there will be healthy options for you.ReplyCancel
Look Khloe, I don't need this bad energy at my wedding. If you're going to talk shit about me, you don't need to be at my weddingReplyCancel
Thanks, dad! I'll be there! What time should I have the strippers show up?ReplyCancel
Oh Brody, after Kendall and Kylie leave and I go to bed. Probably around 10 or 11.ReplyCancel
I don't need to wear them anymore! You better double up on yours, I can see your camel toe from here!!ReplyCancel
Leanne RimesReplyCancel
Do you see what I had to put up with? This is why I married Chad Kroeger. He's a REAL MAN!ReplyCancel
Miranda LambertReplyCancel
Yuck. Who would like McDonald's enough to binge and purge on it?ReplyCancel
This is definitely Leanne. Who was it that said she's addicted to laxatives? Just saw a pic of her wolfing down a taco or something on the DM.ReplyCancel

The super secret scroll probably describes how to get the rinnegan. Orochimaru already experimented on Hashirama cells years prior to Naruto even starting, hence Yamato's age. It's also described how Orochimaru wanted an Uchiha body from the flashbacks when he wanted Itachi but couln't beat him. Which is why he went after Sasuke years after.
Come one, sometimes one's got to use Occhams razor, and everything indicates that this scrolls describes how to get the Rinnegan. Kabuto even said to edo Madara that he and Orichu did research on this and that their "thesis was true".

USDA Welcomes Appointment of U.S. Ambassador Ertharin Cousin as the World Food Programme's Executive Director
There is good news! Earlier this week Ambassador Ertharin Cousin was appointed as Executive Director of the United Nations World Food Programme. The WFP, based in Rome, is the world's largest humanitarian agency. Its objective is to provide food aid to the world's poorest and most vulnerable people with the intent of ultimately ending the need for food aid by eradicating hunger and poverty.
Ambassador Cousin is uniquely qualified to assume this prominent position. I have had the opportunity to spend time with her in one of the grandest cities in the world. For more than two years, she has been living in Rome, where she has served as our country's Representative to the UN Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome. In this role, Ambassador Cousin has provided critical leadership in helping to carry out President Obama's global food security policies. She is full of energy, ideas, and optimism. Secretary Vilsack and I greatly appreciate Ambassador Cousin's support in fulfilling the United States' strategic objectives with the three Rome-based U.N. agencies. We know she will bring the same level of dedication to her new role. Read more »

Canadian men and women advance to semis at first stop on NORCECA beach circuit
GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands – The lines have been drawn for an all Canadian semifinal in men's play while Jamie Broder of Victoria and Kristina Valjas of Toronto also advanced to the final four on the women's side on Saturday at the opening stop on the NORCECA beach volleyball circuit.
In men's competition, Martin Reader of Comox, B.C., and Ray Sewell of Calgary posted two wins Saturday defeating Daniel Erazo and Erick Hadock of Puerto Rico 21-16, 21-14 and Jeff Moran and Ivan Mercer of the U.S., 21-16, 21-11.
Meanwhile Maverick Hatch of Comox and Ben Saxton of Calgary also earned a spot in the final four with a convincing 21-13, 21-9 victory over Seth Burhanm and Lucas Wisniakowski of the U.S., after a victory over Jamaica on Friday. Therefore the two Canadian entries will battle each other for a berth in the championship final.
In women's action, Broder and Valjas suffered their first loss on Saturday falling to Brooke Langston and Heather Lowe of the U.S., in their final round robin match after a victory earlier Saturday over a pair from St. Kitts & Nevis.
On Friday, Broder and Valjas opened round robin play with three victories. They beat Nancy Joseph and Elki Phillip of Trinidad and Tobago 21-17, 21-13, edged Ingrid Morales and Natalia Alfaro of Costa Rica 18-21, 21-11, 15-8 and defeated Cristin Alexander and Tarasa Barnett of Cayman Islands 21-14, 21-12.
For both the men and women, the top two teams of each pool advance to the semi final and the rest play for the 5-10 positions.
There are 11 teams taking part in the women's event and fourteen in the men's with US$10,000 in cash prizes up for grabs.

France made it back-to-back victories in the Six Nations as a second-half stampede saw them ease past Italy 30-10 in Paris on Sunday.
France made it back-to-back victories in the Six Nations Championship as a second-half stampede saw them ease past Italy 30-10 in Paris on Sunday.
A 9-3 half-time score summed up perfectly what was a dismal opening 40 minutes before the floodgates opened after the break for Les Bleus.
Tries came from Louis Picamoles, Wesley Fofana and Hugo Bonneval while Tommaso Iannone replied three minutes from time for the Azzurri.
A red card apiece for Rabah Slimani and Michele Rizzo for trading headbutts soured what was an otherwise clean contest of Six Nations rugby.
Action now takes a week's break before France go to Wales while Italy host Scotland in what already looks like being the Wooden Spoon decider.
On this second-half form, the French will fancy their chances against a Welsh side that had their confidence shattered against Ireland on Saturday.
It did take a while for France to click into gear though as that aforementioned summation of the first period suggests. Several missed penalty attempts from both sides meant the game was scoreless until the 27th minute when Jean-Marc Doussain finally found his range following a strong run from full-back Brice Dulin.
France weren't ahead for long however as visiting fly-half Tomasso Allan equalised off the tee a minute later as Dulin was penalised for not retreating behind the back foot of tackled player Alberto De Marchi before contesting at the ruck. Allan made no mistake to level.
Italy were on top at scrum time at this point but it was to be France's driving maul that did the damage next, with Italy falling into the trap of collapsing it, thus coughing up a further three.
Doussain was again on target just before the break when Joshua Furno was pinged by referee Jaco Peyper for not rolling away, meaning it was a six-point lead for the French.
Whatever coach Philippe Saint-Andre said at the break clearly worked as Les Bleus came out firing, with Picamoles barging over on 43 minutes after TMO confirmation because of possible obstruction by hooker Dimitri Szarzewski off a driving maul fifteen metres out.
And like London buses, the hosts' second arrived soon after when Fofana spotted space on the blindside of a ruck and quickly set off for the right-hand corner, seeing off Luke McLean en route to the try-line. Doussain was now striking the ball sweetly to make it 23-3.
On 52 minutes the result was put beyond doubt as France scored the pick of their three tries. It came from a lovely breakout from his own 22 by Fofana, who freed Yoann Huget on the left before the wing fed Bonneval for a debut try. Doussain's conversion made it 30-3.
The threat of a demolition was now looming in Paris but instead there was a lull before replacements Slimani and Rizzo saw red for respective headbutts, this only a minute after France lock Sebastien Vahaamahina had been yellow carded for throwing the ball away.
The last word would be Italy's though and credit to them for it as wing Iannone finished well, giving them hope ahead of the biggest game of their 2014 Championship on February 22.
Man of the match: Few would have scored the try that Wesley Fofana did. His ability to see space before others was evident when he spotted just that on the blindside of a ruck. Net result, he picked, went and raced over despite the best efforts of covering full-back McLean.
Moment of the match: When the French aren't playing well, they can always look to Louis Picamoles to get them going forward. His try to make it 16-3 with the conversion was key.
Villain(s) of the match: No place for headbutts in rugby. Michele Rizzo and Rabah Slimani.

Strong Debut Seasons
January 29 2011 08:32AM
I love old time photos. This one features the great Gordie Howe in the middle, a young Bryan "Bugsy" Watson (who would one day coach our beloved Oilers) on the right and young Ray Cullen on the left. This photo is from 1966-68. One of the best things about following a team is watching the young players develop; Cullen had the better pedigree and was a better offensive prospect but it was Watson who had the longer NHL career. On the current Oilers roster, who are the keepers? The throwaways? The career minor leaguers? It's always been tough to say.
According to hockey-reference, 103 young men have made their NHL debuts this season. Last year it was 137, so there are more kids to come as the season rolls along. In terms of playing their first NHL games, here are the Oilers on that list of 103:
- Taylor Hall 49gp, 16-15-31
- Magnus Pääjärvi 46gp, 6-13-19
- Jordan Eberle 37gp, 9-14-23
- Linus Omark 20gp, 3-6-9
- Jeff Petry 14gp, 1-2-3
That's a helluva list, it really is. Five kids making their debuts in the same season, 4 of them with enough potential to be at least considered for the top 6 on a contending team and the other looking like a lock for top 4D duty for years to come. Things don't always work out as planned, but you'd have to give this group a solid chance at making it five for five when it comes to establishing themselves as NHL players.
There are no seasons that really compare to this group in recent Oiler history. In the last decade, the best season for the Oilers in terms of NHL debuts were:
- 02-03 (Ales Hemsky, Jarret Stoll, Fernando Pisani, MA Bergeron, Alexei Semenov all played 200 or more NHL games and Alex Henry got close).
- 06-07 (Jan Hejda, Tom Gilbert, Ladislav Smid, Zack Stortini and some kids who may make that marker like Rob Schremp).
- 07-08 (Sam Gagner, Andrew Cogliano plus guys like Theo Peckham and Liam Reddox who may make the 200 game marker in the future).
I think the current group will trump the three seasons mentioned here. The 02-03 group had a very nice variety of skill, grit and checking ability, the 06-07 group had three NHL defensemen and the 07-08 group brought the club two everyday forwards.
The strength of this season's group--and what puts them over the top compared to the three seasons we're discussing currently--is that they all appear to have a wider range of skills than the average rookie. Hall has balls, speed, shooting ability and a brain; Pääjärvi has much the same in lesser doses but also brings a strong defensive aptitude and is a little bigger; Eberle is so smart he could have played for the 70s Habs, plus he has this ridiculous ability to slightly change his shooting angle in close that should garner him buckets of NHL goals; Omark is a buzzsaw, strong on the puck and has sick puck skills and Petry is everything you look for in a defenseman save for the killer instinct physically.
We have to go back into the 1990's for an Oiler debut that rivals the current group.
- 93-94 (Jason Arnott, Kirk Maltby, Peter White, Boris Mironov, Todd Marchant, Fred Brathwaite)
This was a tremendous group of NHL debuts. Arnott and Marchant are both past 1,100 NHL games now, Mironov was a quality player over an extended period and Maltby found a role and filled it forever. That's 4 very useful NHL players plus a couple of other guys who played over 200 games. Oilers traded for Marchant and Mironov during their debut seasons, something Steve Tambellini might want to explore (picking up a Michael Grabner mid-season could help this team).
I think the 2010-11 group may one day be stronger than the 1993-94 group, but that's a strong list. Any other candidates?
January 29 2011, 08:38AM
FIRST! (maybe?)
One of the reasons kids are now coming in (that I see) is the crackdown on headshots and hooking. The smaller have more (not full) ability to move through the offensive zone without fearing for their life or being held up.
It's also a reason why Martin St. Louis and Patrick Kane are starting to thrive.
January 29 2011, 08:48AM
although i am plenty old enough to remember the 1993-94 group this current crop of talented rookies has the potential to be much more exciting. i suppose it isn't even potential but reality.
great description of eberle, this kid amazes me...smart!
hall is kamakaze of the group and it is about time we have a loose wheel, no guts no glory!
petry is our best defenceman in my eyes (i know its early).
omark is slick and stronger on the 'd' side than given credit for.
mps is fast and learning. that learning will pay off and be special very soon.
good read LT!

nah, St. Louis had an MVP season before the rule changes. hes just good. and as much as i hate Kane, he avoids physicality well with his speed (until he got caught). something Sam Gagner cant do at his size because hes too slow footed, which is why you rarely see Gagner trying anything gutsy with the puck - he cant. he waits for chaos to occur from other players or situations and takes advantage of it. rarely is he "creating the chaos" (defensive breakdowns, etc) himself.
What will add to the fun is the next wave. Next year you can expect to see 2 or 3 more rookies make their debut. That would make it 7 o 8 relative rookies, added to Gagner/Cogliano and Peckham, and that is a young group. Penner, Horcoff and Hemsky may be our only over 25 forwards starting the year and I think you can do ok with that if you have exceptional kids, but the back end is where you then have to shore up with solid vets. I believe we end up with Larsson in the draft, and he would most likely play right away, along with Lander and most likely Hamilton (who fills a desperate need of a physical two way player for the bottom six).
We are really shaping up nicely, but a vet or two with complementary skills would make a lot of sense, the question becomes does management actually make a deal to round out the roster.
Whitney-Larsson Gilbert-Peckham Smid-Petry Plante-Foster
Young, but solid and a balanced skill set if Smid progresses and Plante can step up and be a physical shut down option.
Hall-Horcoff-Eberle Penner-Gagner-Hemsky MPS-Lander-Omark (all swede would be fun) Hamilton-Cogliano?-Reddox/Jones
A vet as our 3rd or 4th line centre would be solid, but Cogliano is getting better. However more size and a better faceoff man is needed. And some more size and physical nature is important. If we re-sign Hemsky and Penner, I hope they consider moving one of the kids. If Omark nets you a solid, physical two way winger then you may have to pull the trigger on that deal since its that kind of player is missing from this roster.
Many have mentioned Brayden Schenn as a target if we move Hemsky, and while he woudl be a great fit I think another player from LA would be just as useful. Wayne Simmonds would balance our roster just as much and if there was some way to get both then I would be more excited about the next 2 years. Especially since I just don't see management signing anyone to fill those roles.
January 29 2011, 09:14AM
there really hasn't been much of a crackdown on head shots, has there really? with seemingly more frequency there are more players with more concussions than ever.
granted media exposure, better diagnosis of symptoms etc. are reasons we can attribute what we know hear and know now buti belive the reality the league has NOT done what they need to do to curb concussions.
side note...i hear stauffer preaching vigoroulsy for big mac ,more physicality basically a meaner tougher brand of hockey, but someone will need to explain the success of the detriot red wings to me in last few years....complete disconnect.
It's off topic, but did Wanye's grand announcement/event occur?
Edit - somehow my post above double posted - so this is an 'edit' to tell you that so you don't have to spend your time reading it twice. I would hate to waste your time reading something repetitive or useless on a Saturday morning. It would be unfortunate if you did happen to read something repetitive or useless on a Saturday morning. That would make me feel bad.
Note - ON needs a delete button!
Well damn it all to Oodle Noodle - LT replied to my duplicated post, so now the quote on his post makes no sense, so, here let me repost my original post here for you to read so that everything makes sense.
It's off topic, but did Wanye's grand announcement/event occur?
"someone will need to explain the success of the detriot red wings to me in last few years":
A killer power play that severely punished teams stupid enough to try to goon their stars. Teams that score 1 power play goal on 40 chances doesn't have that type of protection as an option.
January 29 2011, 09:38AM
now isn't that exactly what the oilers should be aiming for, beating teams on the points column of the score sheet rather than penaly minutes. we are skilled and we can punish, just let's punish with speed and skill rather than intimidation and scare tactics....team toughness, cool, i'm down with that. i'd rather have detriot as my idol than anyother team. NO MORE FISTS (literally and figuratively)JUST MORE WINS!
Yeah, that's an excellent point. I think the NHL has moved away from some of the rules they placed after the lockout (you can hook a little more) but speed and creativity are rewarded heavily.
I often wonder what a current fan would say about the olden days when opposition forwards would hook their sticks into the puck carrier and hold them all the way through the neutral zone without penalty.
God it was awful hockey.
Not that olden of days. The flames 04 cup run and numerous version of lemaire hockey have yielded the exact same pig with just a shade of lipstick. Awful hockey
I think that it's a hell of a lot easier to hire a goon than get the right mix of talent for perfect power play chemistry. That doesn't mean they aren't trying to improve the power play, or haven't thought 'Damn... maybe our guys wouldn't get elbowed so much if we could score on the power play'.
I also think that someone like Stauffer has his finger on the pulse regarding players playing 'bigger' when someone like MacIntyre is in the lineup.
Some argue that it takes a seat on the bench and is mostly a waste. Really? Ask Hall or Paajarvi if they'd like to pick up a couple extra shifts per game and see what they think about MacIntyre's 4 minutes of ice time.
LT: forgot about Haartikanen. We could always use a solid Finn! does he play the PK? Because if he did then that would be exactly what we need. Makes Omark even more tradeable, or I guess if you are looking for a top return you consider moving Hemsky. Omark is Hemsky lite, so maybe based on dollars you move Hemsky at the height of his value. Hopefully he comes back healthy for the run to the deadline, and a team like LA who needs to make a splash may pay dearly. I don't want to move him, but due to his injury history he scares me on a long term contract. If LA offered Schenn and another solid prospect, or we added a Brule to the deal and got back a high pick then we would have to seriously consider it.
LT: the number of roster players is high. Haartikanen does go to the hard areas, and I think that is something we lack.
As for who to move, I hope everyone realizes most of our guys don't have a lot of value. However one who does is Ryan Jones. his shooting percentage is crazy high, and he's not as big or physical as i would hope for the role he plays. so trade him while his value is high, especially since goals seem to inflate value when he has been (to my eye) more lucky then good.
As for Jacques, he plays no role that can't be replaced. So i hope to see some waivers on some guys, some dumps for picks/prospects and one or two solid hockey moves.
January 29 2011, 10:11AM
sure it is easier but does it make it the best plan?
mac provide the other players the opportunity to play like with some abandon and freedom, understood. i'm ok with him in the line up eating 5 minutes a night, fine. the theory that we NEED this is overplayed tho. what we NEED is a better pp, pk, to win face-offs, to come out and play a consistent 60 minutes, not to intimidate/beat-up other teams.
persuade me that olympic hockey is a lesser grade than what we see everyday in the nhl, and i will subscribe to the ifhgt first ask later theory.
Not yet. I was looking forward to it. I think it might be gift certificates to Oodle Noodle, but am worried he just wants help moving.
What's Oodle Noodle - I have never heard of it?¡
Great article! The future looks promising. My concern is the lack of physical players in the top 6 or 9. Hopefully some of the prospects can fill that role. None of our top 9 have that Dustin Brown, Mike Richards or Corey Perry bash and crash ability. Hall, Eberle, Magnus- Hemmer,Penner,Gagner- Omark,Cogs,Brule,Horcoff, are the top 10 players we have. In my opinion, we need at least 1 banger on the first 2 lines, and 1 or 2 on the third line. Take a look at Chicagos team from last year. Lots of grit. There will have to be a lot of change in the top 9 before this team becomes a serious contender.
And that is not even talking about the fourth line, which I see will be completely blown up sooner than later.
January 29 2011, 11:01AM
After watching Brayden Schenn in the WJC it would shock the hell out of me if ST managed to pry him away from LA, but uber cool if he did.
Ryan Jones IMO should be a keeper and be re-signed to at least a 2yr contract, sure he might not repeat his goals he's been putting in the back of the net this year but with his energy and a real team player the Oilers can't miss with this guy.
I agree with a previous post that big MAC should see more ice time(even more so after huggy bears embarassment of a fight last time)even if he plays 4 min a game that might give the other rookies a little more ice time when hes not on the ice. GET RID OF STORTINI.
One of the reasons kids are now coming in (that I see) is the crackdown on headshots and hooking. The smaller have more (not full) ability to move through the offensive zone without fearing for their life or being held up.
It's also a reason why Martin St. Louis and Patrick Kane are starting to thrive.
Were you the same guy who in the last post that suggested that Omark will be a St. Louis? Regardless, St. Louis is just awesome, period. Hooking or no hooking.
Also, if it was you making the Omark comparison, if Omark could be half the player St. Louis is, I would be thrilled.
January 29 2011, 11:10AM
If it was possible for every team to have a PP that was awesome all the time dont you think they'd have all done it? Even Lowe couldnt miss that. Should they be building towards that? Absolutely! In the meantime (because it isnt going to happen tomorrow, this season, or likely the next few seasons) we need to have some system in place....
Or are you advocating we do nothing until we are good? In which case, we never will be good.

January 29 2011, 11:19AM
@The Beaker
not advocating we doing nothing at all and i never said we shouldn't have mac there or be team tough. what i am saying tho is that we need to focus on other aspects of the re-build, or re-growth of the franchise, rather that simply laying the blame at feet of fear.
this team in a very short period will play whomever, big team/small team, the same....with speed, skill, and talent, and they won't let their greatness be defined by stortini's fighting ability and jfj lack thereof.
So have been looking at the depth chart in the org,and what is crazy is how many solid left wingers we have. Hartikanen and Hamilton are two way LW with size who could all conceivably make the jump next year to the NHL roster. With that in mind, it makes sense the org is considering moving Penner. I think that would be a huge mistake. We need vets more then just rookies. I wonder if anyone would consider moving MPS? yes he's a rookie and has huge potential, but the return could be huge.
So with that in mind, what could you get for him? We have cap space and a huge need for a top dman or centre. So which teams with possible money issues would move a top player for MPS. I would target a team like Nashville and go after Weber. He's going to make around $6 million next year and Nashville is hurting for money. Would MPS and say Smid (Nasville has plenty of offensive dmen in their system, but lack stay at home types) along with a prospect get that deal done?
LT: agreed on the depth. Which is why I wondered if we would move MPS instead. You've mentioned before a contending team needs a mix of vets, players on ELC and players playing hard for new deals. My fear with the scorched earth policy right now is that if we move all of our vets, then we may never reach a point where we have the necessary balance to compete for a cup.
I would look to move Cogs, MPS or Omark, and probably Smid and see what kind of top level vet we can get that still is in his late 20's and has 5 or 6 great years left, allowing him to be a major part of our cup runs (in 2 years when we should be ready if our management is smart).
Org Depth the next 2 years:
LW: Hall, Penner, MPS (can play rw), Hartikanen, Hamilton, Jacques
RW: Hemsky, Eberle, Omark, Jones, Reddox, Martindale, Stortini
C: Horcoff, Gagner, Cogliano, Lander, Fraser, Pitlik, O'marra, Vande velde
That is a lot of youth, and if we were smart we would move youth for mid 20's vets. We can afford a big contract for a Weber, and still re-sign Hemsky, Penner and the kids in 3 years.
Make a hockey move Tambellini. This off season you may see major moves, but at the deadline this year I expect only minor dumps that stockpile picks and prospects. When you have a full cupboard like we currently seem to have, then you make a hockey move. Add a vet or two, the kids are a year older and we add a few rookies next year to round out the roster. i expect they could make a run at the playoffs next year and contend the following year if management plays it's cards right.
I think the situation at LW is why we'll see Hall embedded at C sooner rather than later.
I'd also rather trade any of Hamilton, Hartikainen and Lander before Pääjarvi.
January 29 2011, 12:42PM
I relish your articles and insight and therefore want to put this to you. Are we missing the boat with MPS? Given his skill set, speed, size, two-way play and excellent passing ability should he not be offered the opportunity to play centre? I believe MPS is the centre (1st or 2nd line) we have been looking for; it is just that the decision makers have failed to recognize a possible future role for him.
I appreciate that it will take time for MPS to develop in that role but if it works one of the designated centres becomes expendable - and we keep a player that I would be loathe to let go.
Keep up the excellent work. We need more such as you.
Too much time on my hands right now. So played with Capgeek.com and came up with a roster based on two NHL trades and some dumps.
trades: 1. MPS and Smid with a prospect for Shea Weber. Sign Weber to an extension of $6.5 mill 2. Trade Sam Gagner and a pick/prospect to Florida for Stephen Weiss
- Dump Brule, Cogliano, Jones, Vandermeer, Foster and Fraser if possible
- Re-sign Penner for $5.1 mill and Hemsky for $5.25 mill.
- Draft Couturier ($3.75 mill entry level deal like Hall)
Lineup next 2 years
(Pitlik, Martindale, Vande velde in minors)
Foster or a vet if Foster is moved
Total cap hit = $58,289,000
That balances our team, has a core of players between 25-29, along with old man Horcoff at 33 and youth between 19-22. Our defense is solid top to bottom and there is cap space to make moves and add a vet or two if needed. Our PK is better with Weiss and Weber (not to mention Hamilton and Lander) and our PP is better with Weber at back, another growth year for Petry and a healthy Whitney. Yes we move out MPS, Cogliano and Gagner from our young potential stars, but add a solid vet or two between 25-28 and we move from potential to contender.
January 29 2011, 12:52PM
So you want to be "buyers" at the deadline? That severly limits who we can buy from then... Playoff teams are not going to ship contributing peices for picks and prospects the deadline.
January 29 2011, 12:56PM

God it was awful hockey.
I dunno, I watched the 10 best games DVDs, and I'll be damned if the Marchant OT game wasn't WAYYYY more exciting the than the Pisani OT game. Agreed, the regular season is probably better now, but the playoffs were something else.
DRock: not at the deadline, but in the off season. a lot of deals happen at the draft or around July 1st. I would make the moves in the off season when we could get full value. Nashville will try to make a playoff run this year, so no moves for them in regular season. Florida may look to dump salary, so if that's the case the Gagner for Weiss swap could happen at the deadline, but also more likely in off season.
January 29 2011, 01:56PM
Agreed. Like those deals. I've said before, if it is possible to get Weber here and keep him for a number of years, this should be done.
Also, this summer is going to be what defines Tambo's tenure here. Like him or dont like him opinions will be made/changed this summer.
I'd say that the crackdown on holding and hooking has contributed much more to the small player's success in the league. Head shots are a small player's nightmare! (ie. Savard, Pierre-Marc Bouchard, Crosby).
So please tell me......why would Nashville be looking to move their #1 defencman in Weber. Upon their recent west coast swing, he's obviously NOT a player they're going to trade for anything you've offered here. He's worth far more to Nashville than what you've proposed. Sorry, back to the drawing board!
January 29 2011, 02:32PM
I wonder why they didn't continue the experiment with #4 at C. I thought he was doing well. I'd love to hear why coach Renney made the move.
I thought the two main purposes behind trying Hall at C were playing him with Hemsky and replacing Horcoff. Since those are both moot points now i prefer him on the wing, I think it fits his skill set better.
If he becomes a faceoff ace over the summer I will revisit that opinion.
January 29 2011, 03:12PM
I guess the question then is, where can Hall play BEST? I have no doubt he will be awesome at either center or wing depending on how things go. But it's what he will play best at that matters.
Drafting for need is probably just as bad as taking the players you already have and pushing them into spots where they aren't their best just so we can draft BPA....
(hope that made sense)

took a while for them to settle, but after that, I did like them. I will try them some more. And I also want to try the 18g as well.

Comments: I'm an average player (3.5-4.0). These strings broke after the 4th time on the court, about 8-9 hours of
use. Durability aside, the strings felt hollow when making contact with the ball. It was fine after the learning period. Overall, not
the strings for me.

Comments: I've been playing with the red s-gut on my Dunlop Aerogel 4D 200 Tour at 60 lbs for a couple weeks
and it really is underpowered but the 17g is great for spin, control and even feel for a synthetic. I have a one-handed backhand
and I can rip the ball cross-court or down the line with surprising ease and feedback with this string. I'm going to order many
more sets in the near future!

Comments: Great string for the price. However, if you really rip the ball with topspin, don't expect these to hold up
for long. They lasted for 1 week, 3 hours a day on clay and then broke. Which I guess that is still about 20 hours. Anyway, great
string for the average person.

Comments: This synthetic gut string is on the better quality of synthetic guts. And at $3.99 a set, it isn't bad on
It is pretty durable but still nice and soft. It has decent spin production and grabs the ball nicely. Power is decent but is on the
end of the power spectrum in my opinion. It comes in a selection of colors for kids (and adults) who like different colored strings.
like the 17g better than 16g because of the power and playability of strings. I will continue to buy it and use it, maybe just as a
string with poly in mains.
From: CF, 3/13
Comments: Tried the pink 17g in my Dunlop 4D Aerogel 200 Tour. It has surprisingly decent spin, not too stiff, but
very underpowered at 55/51 lbs. I think this string would be best played at lower tensions to enhance power.

Law enforcement agencies are using technology in all aspects of policing activities – from day-to-day operations to long term planning initiatives. Since 1994, the COPS Office has supported the use of technology to advance the community policing efforts of state, local, and tribal law enforcement agencies, awarding more than 4,400 agencies more than $2.2 billion in funding for crime-fighting technology. From supporting crime prevention and crime-solving strategies to improving information sharing capabilities, the use of technology continues to play a critical role in law enforcement operations and enhancing public safety.
The COPS Office has awarded funding for a variety of technology projects, including systems support and specific types of equipment, hardware, and software such as: computer aided dispatch (CAD) and records management systems (RMS), crime analysis, crime mapping, voice interoperability and data information sharing, call management systems (e.g., 311 systems; reverse-911), in-car cameras and closed-circuit televisions, electronic in-field reporting, mobile data computing and radio upgrades, justice data integration projects, and other technology initiatives that can benefit law enforcement and their communities.
To help ensure successful implementation of technology projects, the COPS Office has also funded guides and reports, training
and technical assistance opportunities, and has provided links to other resources, on topics such as technology planning and procurement, information technology security and performance measures, and best practices in the use of specific technologies. We encourage you take advantage of the many knowledge resources made available.
