The Herm Sprenger Dynamic RS Full Cheek Snaffle Bit is designed to give soft, but effective instructions for the best communication between horse and rider. Combining an ergonomically formed curved Aurgian® mouthpiece with the same angled center joint found in KK Ultras, this bit lies perfectly in the mouth. The result is soft and even pressure for maximum bit acceptance. 16mm mouthpiece. Stainless steel cheeks.
Genuine patented Aurigan bits are manufactured only by Herm Sprenger. Aurigan is a nickel-free alloy comprised of 85% copper, 4% silicon and 11% zinc. The benefits of Aurigan bits have been confirmed through extensive studies at the University of Hanover in Germany. Aurigan rapidly oxidizes, producing a pleasant taste.

Skip to comments.To solve our debt problems, lets sell Alaska
Posted on 02/25/2013 7:24:29 PM PST by mgist
To solve our debt problems, lets sell Alaska Treadwell makes a strong case for a home-grown offer. He notes that of Alaskas 365 million acres, the state government already owns 103 million, which were deeded at the time of statehood. An additional 44 million acres came with the Alaska Native Claims Act. U.S. cash in our till would barely cover a week of federal deficits, but we believe the potential here is worth trillions, especially if we gained freedom to drill it, Treadwell said. Location, location, location.
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Nah. Keep AK; sell CA, OR, and Washington.
Who needs a west coast harbor?
Of course, if they sold Alaska but continued spending as they are, it wouldn't help.
I guess Obama could sell Alaska via executive order.
NAH...let's sell California and New York and Illinois
Better yet, shouldn't have brought in Hawaii.
Now that I think about it, I'd like to buy Alaska. How much?
Nuts - sell California...
There is a "better idea" already circulating in Washington.
All told there is over $19 trillion residing in private 401-K and IRA accounts.
Washington simply needs to "borrow" these...and eve3rything will be hunky-dory.
But that is where we all are going to move from Texas when Globull Warming makes it 150 degrees down here.
Yes, and let some other nation, probably China, develop all the resources the libs have blocked domestic development of for years. A pretty logical outcome to liberal deficit spending and environmental whackoism.
From the Washington Post. You could buy them for 17 cents and a bottle of Gatorade right now.
Palin Derangement Syndrome...
Better to, metaphorically, kill the disease of Marxism than dismember one's country.
Every third post is a lefty, imagining him or her self as clever by making a joke about selling off the Palins.
They don't have the slightest idea why the Palins are worthy of hate, they just know that to be truly cool, according to the beautiful people in hollywood and the media, they have to hate Palins.
Alaska is crippled with federal intervention. Bureaucrats sitting in DC have no clue to what is happening in Western MD or VA, let alone what the real situation is in AK.
Alaska is a Republic waiting to happen if it wasn't for the native welfare population.
The leaders of establishment America are complete fools.
Only God can save us now.
Sell Washington DC and its swampland.
ConservativeInPA is the correct post. The premise that the Federal govt can own or sell a soveriegn state's land is false.
Why should Alaska want to stay in the US? I'd be shocked if it was due to the Entitled. But nothing should surprise us anymore.
God is not going to save us (unfortunately).
This is all going to continue down the slippery slope and have to play itself out to the sadly obvious conclusion.
Odds are nearly non existent that it won't involve significant violence and the severe suffering of a lot of people.
I am very sad to see my great country already turned into a fascist crap hole where the *majority* of the people have no understanding of, nor amazingly any desire for, the liberties our ancestors suffered and died for. Makes me sick.
Libs are such commie rock suckers.
Sell Washington, DC.
Fence off certain states in the northeast, instead.
Yeah, and throw Chicago in for the he11 of it!
Shortsighted solution.
Once the Obama/Gore Global Warming kicks in Alaska will have a climate like Hawaii and we will see citrus orchards and tomato fields where only polar bears roam today.
ONE THING; The largest GOLD, Copper, Molybdenum discovery ever made on this planet has been discovered right by Anchorage(Pebble Mine)..
Above ground you do not have to dig for it..
Most of Alaska has coal deposits a few feet underground..
Theres more natural gas that's even been registered.. but what is registered is humongous.. Then there'e the oil... most of which is off limits on federal land.. but not all..
Then; theres the fish.. crabs, clams, and shrimp..
Alaska is almost as half as big as the lower 48... ITSELF..
Alaska and other federal lands are already mortgaged to China
this ain't the same old country.....
>>>Alaska is a Republic waiting to happen if it wasn't for the native welfare population.<<<
I live in a village which is about 70 percent Alaska Native. Actually, everyone is on welfare up here, in all races, but out of all the racial groups, the Natives are better off than anyone else. Let me explain.
Lots of people work in some sort of government job (I'm a teacher in a public school, for instance). That's true both out here in the Bush and on the road in places like Anchorage and Fairbanks. However, the Native population has something that will save them in the long run. I've lived here most of my adult life, so I know what I'm saying.
There is a long tradition of subsistence living among the Native population (and among those of us living with them out here). This means that people spend a significant part of their year harvesting, hunting, and processing game animals and berries. A lot of families here catch hundreds of salmon, a moose, a bear, buckets of berries, and other fish that happen to come into the net, and that takes a lot of hard work. Yes, there is a lot of welfare, too, but there is still a tradition of hard work and productive effort. All of my students go to fish camp. In addition, we have to grow a lot of our own food in home gardens, and learn to store it for the winter.
You see some of this on the road, and a bit of it in the cities, but out here, it's a powerful force in the lives of the people who live here.
What the Native people tell me is that they expect welfare to disappear one day, along with a lot of the outsiders looking for oil and gold. (They would like me and my family to stay, though.) If the welfare vanished, a lot of my Native neighbors would shrug their shoulders and go on with their lives. This is very different from what I'd expect from the welfared populations in the Lower 48 cities, but it's about what I'd think would happen in Appalachia and the South, too.
A lot of us expect that Alaskan Republic to appear one day anyhow. Selling us off to the Russians or the Chinese would be war, and the Natives would be fighting along with everyone else. And since a lot of Natives grew up with guns, many are wicked shots; some of my students graduated to become snipers in the Army Rangers fighting in vague locations in the Middle East.
Be well down there. Keep warm.
Don't go discounting the idea of selling Alaska too quickly. There is a jobs angle: think of all the workers that would be hired to rip one star off every American flag in the country.
Cripes, can't we sell California? There's gotta be a sucker out there somewhere.
Hell no, sell Hawaii and retroactively revoke the citizenship of everybody born there.
Given California's lefty leanings, disastrous finances and illegal drug culture they would be a natural fit with Mexico. Let's GIVE Cal to Mexico.
Everybody wins!
Given California's lefty leanings, disastrous finances and illegal drug culture they would be a natural fit with Mexico. Let's GIVE Cal to Mexico.
Everybody wins!
Sell DC? who the heck would want it?
Why sell one of the few states that's actually an asset?
Any accounts receivable rep will tell you to sell the deadbeats.
The secret to saving America is to purge from the union the Neo Europa states north and east of New York. Once they are gone things will begin to turn around.
Makes me sick too and I'm not even American.
I'd be for cutting Alaska loose.
Make us like Puerto Rico...all the bennies, none of the headaches.
I'm not saying this as an egotistical, "the world revolves around us" American.
But I believe that when this country completes its descent into the destruction of our Republic, as it surely will do, then a darkness will come over the western world.
This country was given by fate and circumstance resources beyond belief and the foresight and guidance of great men. These gifts have been squandered and debauched more than seems possible.
I'm not religious myself, but I have to agree that there is a biblical sort of accounting coming for what we have become. There is not just greed and corruption in our capital, there is pure, genuine evil. Men without souls are in power. And the remaining good people simply can't grasp the lengths to which they are going, they will go, to destroy us.
Any person that is not sincerely frightened by the progression of current events is either delusional, or one of the bad guys.
As a Canadian, I do support American excellence. I know for a fact that the threat of nuclear war kept the west safe for decades during the cold war. I am grateful to my southern brothers and sisters. Don't apologize for being in a once great country.
I am a follower of Jesus, and yes you are right, evil has a grip and doesn't want to let go. I also believe that if men and women of moral courage stand up, evil will not prevail. A single candle can repel darkness, no amount of darkness can overcome a source of light. Now take that same candle and add thousands, no add millions more, darkness can never prevail.
We (as the free west) need to stand up in unison, support one another, and turn our countries back to God. We can't let the enemy divide and conquer. We are worth the effort, we are worthy to bleed for if that's what it takes. Also know in these uncertain and dreary times that many many Canadians stand behind you and we will not quietly fade away. We also have a military reputation, our soldiers are feared, I was one and personally saw that. We have a moral obligation to resist tyranny, to resist evil wherever we may find it.
God bless us and keep us and make us strong.
My comment wasn't directed at natives so much, but at our government that provides the welfare that has limited natives' outcomes.
I suspect it is natural for many, regardless of background, to take a handout from government. In fact, there are many in the lower 48 that work very hard and are specifically educated (yes, it is taught in schools) at how to fill out all of the forms to obtain government assistance.
The problem with native populations in America is that so much is controlled by government. That extends to natural resources and activities that can occur on native land. It is regulation on steroids. It gets to the point where a people can not make decisions on their own since they have become so dependent on government. Worse yet, it is a government that is thousands of miles away and has no idea of local needs.
My only gripe with natives is that they except the payoff from government when they could demand to control their own destinies - not as Native Americans, but as Americans - with the same property rights, local control and little to no interference from the federal government. (Well maybe not without the federal government because no one get that, but it would be refreshing that they demand it.)

By JOHN SERFUSTINISun Advocate reporter
Lousy weather and a shorter hunt during the 2010 deer season may have contributed to lower success, but the big factor on the minds of hunters and the Division of Wildlife Resources is that mule deer numbers are declining.
"The public wants the herd restored to historic levels," stated DWR Southeast Region Manager Bill Bates in an interview Tuesday.
Furthermore, the message DWR has gotten is that hunters will tolerate restrictions in order to bring the herd back.
Bates said that the Wildlife Board has taken a long look at the situation and has come up with a plan to regulate next year's hunt unit-by-unit across 29 districts in the state.
Hunters will get a chance to learn about those changes - and other efforts the DWR is conducting to restore the herd - during an informal public information session at the CEU Jennifer Leavitt Student Center Feb. 16 from 7-9 p.m.
Bates said the division plans to set up nine booths to showcase what has been done so far and what is planned for deer management.
DWR also wants to listen as well as talk, he added, so people should feel free to express their ideas and concerns as they visit.
The division has already launched what it bills as the most massive initiative in Utah history, and probably in the west.
For instance, the DWR and its partners have already improved mule deer habitat on about 600,000 acres at a cost of more than $70 million. Plans call for enhancement of another 500,000 acres during the next five years.
Coyotes, which prey on fawns, have been targeted in areas important to deer populations. DWR has given $3 million to the USDA Wildlife Services, which last year killed 1,700 of the predators.
The Utah Department of Transportation has also been involved in the effort to reduce the number of deer wiped out on the state's highways. The tab for fencing and highway bypass structures has exceeded $45 million to date. DWR is also funding two studies by Utah State University to find out the most effective bypass structures and to determine just how many deer and elk are killed on state highways each year.
The effort to stop poachers has been intensified, as has research into diseases such as chronic wasting disease. The division has spent about $1 mllion on this research during the past five years.

In Tintin's Footsteps
On 22 May 1907 Georges Remi, aka HERGE, was born in the Etterbeek commune of Brussels. Not only would he become the revered creator of Tintin and Snowy (Milou in the original French), but also the father of European comic strips and the inventor of the "ligne claire" style.
Brussels and Belgium occupied an important place in the life and work of this master of the Ninth Art.
There are references to Brussels throughout the Tintin albums, its cafés, streets, hotels, theatres, museums and parks... Hergé drew inspiration from his environment.
© Hergé/Fondation Moulinsart 2005
At Brussels Midi Station you can admire the Tintin mural, an extract from "Tintin in America", which was created to mark the 100th anniversary of the birth of Hergé.
Close to the station is the emblematic Tintin and Snowy Sign, at the top of the Editions du Lombard Tintin Building, which is now listed as a historic monument.
A stone's throw from the famous Manneken Pis statue, is the wonderful Tintin Mural, which shows Tintin, Snowy and Captain Haddock in a scene from "The Calculus Affair".
At the terminus of metro line 1B (Stockel station), there is another cheerful Tintin mural, depicting a host of characters from the young reporter's famous adventures.
Don't miss the splendid Galerie du Roi, the very place where Hergé first met another great comic book artist: Edgar P. Jacobs, the creator of Blake and Mortimer.
Don't forget to stop at 116, rue du Marché aux Herbes to visit the Moof, Museum Of Original Figurines, with figurines and collectables inspired from the comic strip.
Then head to the Belgian Comic Strip Centre - BCSC , where you can see Hergé's work in all its glory.
Stop off at the Hôtel Métropole, which appears in Hergé's "Seven Crystal Balls", or the Flea market in the place du Jeu de balle, which bears an uncanny resemblance to the one in "The Secret of the Unicorn".
After that, you can pop into theTintin Boutique, near the Grand Place, where you'll find all the characters from Tintin's world in 3D form.
In Wallonia, you can discover the landscapes of Walloon Brabant, which are referred to in many of Hergé's albums.
The author loved staying in his country house in Céroux-Mousty. Did you know that the Château de Moulinsart (called Marlinspike Hall in the English version), which was inspired by the Château de Cheverny, owes its name to Sart-Moulin, a small hamlet in Braine-l'Alleud, near Waterloo?
And the final, unmissable stop for all comic strip pilgrims is the Hergé Museum in Louvain-la-Neuve, a veritable mausoleum to the author. There you'll find that Hergé's work was not just limited to Tintin. He was also a graphic designer, an advertising executive, a caricaturist and a raconteur: here, all the artist's talents are revealed.
And no doubt you'll want to discover the Tintin trail, the official route established by Moulinsart and the Hergé Studios.
You can order a Tintin in Brussels walking map from the VisitBrussels website.
Round off your visit with the Comic Strip Tour in Brussels:

JGD 12: Lone Star
Kevin McCartney
October 26 2013 02:26PM
The good guys are in the Lone Star State tonight. Their focus is on the here and now - a desperately needed 'W' and some respect in the Division. We're left looking for suspects in the making of another frustrating season for the Jets.
Looking at the Scoring Chances from the Nashville game, we saw Noel move around the lines after the first period and go 29 minutes without an even strength chance. Rhys commented that the blendering may be part of the problem at this point, and it's hard to disagree.
Pavelec is pointing fingers at the play in front of him, while his numbers continue to sink.
Cheveldayoff hasn't addressed the depth on the club, despite playing teams like Nashville, Chicago, St Louis, and even Dallas, who all have tremendous depth to go with their high-end skill.
The shine is falling off Kane and Byfuglien as the scoring dries up, and last year's top line has lost its luster already. Tobias Enstrom is perhaps the 'lone star' of another sort.
It's a complicated plot with no clear good guy or bad guy. Everyone's doing their job but it's starting to feel like there might a skeleton in the closet here. Going after a high draft pick? Budget problems? Too much hope and not enough realism in the front office? A disconnect between coach and manager?
I think John Sayles would approve.
Lines come from DailyFaceoff.com
Jets Forwards
- Ladd - Little - Setoguchi
- Kane? - Scheifele - Wheeler
- Frolik - Jokinen - Peluso
- Tangradi - Wright - Halischuk
Kane is apparently dealing with a flu, and is a game time decision. He missed the skate to hydrate and rest. The other healthy forward the Jets have to replace him? Chris Thorburn. If that happens, you might consider going out with your partner for Saturday night.
In broad strokes, this top six has done well. Points in each of their last two games, and impressive play by Blake Wheeler are both positives with these lines. The Ladd/Little duo continue to be effective as well.
Still, scoring chances from last game show the second line was badly outplayed. Kane was -4 at even strength alone. And though we can be happy Peluso and co. scored, the ice was still tilted against while they were out there. The line only managed a single scoring chance and were way behind in shot attempts (Peluso was -5 in that). In fact, they had the worst corsi % on the team.
I think fans are starting to have sympathy for the team's struggling coach in some sense. Who can he play? He might try riding his top-8 a little harder, and putting all of Ladd, Little, and Kane over 20 minutes a night. But it's not a long-term solution.
It's getting ugly.
Jets Defense
- Clitsome - Byfuglien
- Enstrom - Bogosian
- Stuart - Postma
- Pavelec
- Montoya
Correct me if this sounds impossible, but I think we might be seeing why Grant Clitsome was ever on waivers in the first place. He had an excellent season last year and no one can take that away from him. But his play is a serious problem for the team this year. Without Ron Hainsey to play the tough minutes, and against deeper teams in the West, Grant Clitsome is getting worked.
Last game, he and Byfuglien were on for 10 and 12 even strength scoring chances against respectively. That's not bad, that's horrifying.
This team needs another top-4 defender, and while Clitsome does just fine by possession metrics, he simply can't play up to that role currently. Part of it is luck, of course. When things go wrong, bounces and small errors are part of that.
Still, he turns into pressure in his own zone and his turnovers are a constant problem. Why he doesn't read the pressure correctly is not clear. But for a defenceman liked by math who has obvious puck skills, we might finally see what has kept him out of the top-4 on other clubs.
Enstrom is making Bogosian and effective tough minutes defender. He's the best defenceman the Jets have. Please stay healty, Tobias.
Pavelec gets the start again. So, Montoya starts against Colorado tomorrow then? Right coach? Coach?
Stars Forwards
- Benn - Seguin - Peverly
- Whitney - Eakin - Chiasson
- Nichushkin - Horcoff - Cole
- MacDermid - Fiddler - Roussel
In this pre-game presser, Claude Noel highlighted the speed of this group, and of the top line in particular, citing the need for better team play to counter it. He's not wrong - this group beat the Jets with 4 skilled goals in 25 minutes when they came to the MTS Centre, and until they retreated into a Prevent defense, they controlled the play and puck.
Benn leads the team in scoring with 11 points in 9 games, while Seguin has 10, and Chiasson 9.
But the Stars have more than just speed - they also have a lot of size. And experience. And depth down the middle.
I joked last time around that the team had organized its lines to have a veteran and someone over 200lbs on each line. Sadly, the joke was on us.
The Stars haven't been very good this season, though, despite the convincing win in Winnipeg. Their forward group hasn't changed much, but their defense pairings continue to be shuffled. That's owing to going 2-4-0 since beating the Jets, and 4-5-0 on the season.
This team has a lot going for it on paper. On the ice? They have a 15% powerplay, a sub-80% PK, and are being outshot by 5 shots a game on average. They're 20th in Goals For per game, and 26th in Goals Against.
This is a team that everyone knew should be at the bottom of the Central Division, and they're living up to that hype. The Jets have to get points against this Division rival.
Stars Defense
- Dillon - Robidas
- Daley - Gonchar
- Goligoski - Benn
- Lehtonen
- Ellis
Dillon - Robidas is the the team's tough minutes pairing, and has done well since being put together. Dillon is +6 in his last four games while playing well over 20 minutes a night.
But he's on that top line, getting all those minutes because both Gonchar and Goligoski are having miserable seasons. They have each been sheltered, but continue to bleed shot attempts attempts. And neither have been scoring - part of the reason the PP is so ineffective. They have a single point between them.
One wrinkle to the Stars' season is that Lehtonen has only played in 4 of their 8 games. He has three of their wins on an amazing 1.41 GAA and .956 sv%. Meanwhile, back-up Dan Ellis and call-up Jack Campbell are both struggling below the .900 sv% mark.
Of course, Lehtonen is healthy in time to play the Jets again.

By GARY ARRINGTONSports writer
During the years, the rivalry between Emery and Carbon high schools has been intense and fun for the fans and players of the two high schools with games that have usually gone right to the end before the outcome was finally decided. Not this year, this year in both girls and boys basketball the forgone conclusion was that Carbon would win the game before the first half was over.
Last week, Carbon led the Emery girls 18-4 at the end of the first quarter and 28-15 at the half with fans from both teams knowing the final outcome would go the Dinos way. Final score was Carbon 56 Emery 30.
In the boys game last week, the scores at the end of the first quarter and at the half were similar. Carbon led 18-5 after one period and 34-13 at the half. Carbon defeated Emery by a final score of 72-54. Emery used a big fourth quarter to narrow the gap by 10 when they outscored the Dinos in the final period 25-15.
In both games Emery turned the ball over numerous times, had trouble rebounding and had trouble getting the ball to go in the hoop. The Carbon boys won by getting contributions out of 11 different players with Derek Young leading the way with 12 points in the first three quarters of play. The Carbon girls won because Miranda Averett led the Lady Dinos with 24 points and was clearly the best player on the floor in this game.
Senior Dallon Cologie led the Emery boy's team with 23 points with 17 of those points coming in the final period. Jordan Cox scored 10 points with Bailey Faimalo scoring eight points. Also scoring for the Spartans were Curtis Mason with six points, Dawson Jensen with four points, Logan Tuttle with two points and Brendon Jorgensen with one point.
Also scoring for Carbon were Jordan Blanc with 11 points, Taje Richardson and Tanner Gagnon with nine points each, Bryce Blackburn with eight points, Clay Finkbiner with seven points, Nick Haycock with six points, Dakota Cisneros and Dillon Manzanares with four points each and Seth Tryon and Daulton Nelson with one point each.
Scoring for the Emery girls team were Jeridi Price and Shaylee Stokes with eight points each, Kim Oldroyd with seven points, Kelsie Cox with five points and Blayr Jeffs with two points. Emery shot 14 percent from the field in this game, a percentage that will not win any games. They were zero for 10 from behind the three-point line and six for 33 inside the line.
The Lady Dinos went on 10-0 runs to start the first and third quarters which proved to be too much for Emery to overcome. Also scoring for Carbon were Rachel Scoggins with 10 points, Regan Powell with eight points, Lexi Gagon with five points, Kelcy Otani with four points, Jennee Martinez and Shaylie Jones with two points each and Shailee Croasmun with one point.
The Emery boys will host Beaver this Tuesday night and the Emery girls will host Beaver this Wednesday night. Varsity games will start around 7 p.m.

BRETHREN, I do not run in vain or labor in vain. Even if I am to be poured as a libation upon the sacrifical offering of your faith, I am glad and rejoice with you all. Likewise you also should be glad and rejoice with me. I hope in the Lord Jesus to send Timothy to you soon, so that I may be cheered by news of you. I have no one like him, who will be genuinely anxious for your welfare. They all look after their own interests, not those of Jesus Christ. But Timothy's worth you know, how as a son with a father he has served with me in the gospel. I hope therefore to send him just as soon as I see how it will go with me.

Surgi-Wax Brazilian Microwave Wax - 3 Pack
- Overview
- Features
Removes hair instantly and gently
No mistake heating chart
No muslin strips required
Extra gentle formula
Includes fully illustrated, easy-to-use and detailed instructions
Each kit includes:
Brazilian Wax: 136 g (4.8 oz.)
Pre-epilation oil 3.6 ml (.125 fl. oz)
2 wooden applicators
Step-by-Step instructions
- About the brand
Surgi-Wax Brazilian Microwave Wax - 3 Pack is a special formula designed specifically for hair removal from the bikini area. Surgi-Wax Brazilian removes hair from the root, leaving your skin free of re-growth for weeks! This special formulation is designed to remove coarse and stubborn hair from the most sensitive and delicate areas. All you need is a microwave. Simply heat wax to a creamy consistency and apply to skin. Within seconds the wax will become pliable. Then pull off to remove hair. Everything you need is in this one kit for fast, effective hair removal. No muslin strips required!
What is Brazilian waxing?
Going Brazilian means going completely bare - as bare as the day you were born. Some choose to leave a small strip or shape in front, but many choose to go completely bare.
Can I really do this myself at home?
This special type of hard wax was developed specifically for Brazilian. Waxing. The pre-epilating oil ensures that the wax adheres to the hair and not to skin - so no need to worry about muslin strips, it is just as easy as regular bikini waxing. The illustrated waxing guide that comes with your waxing kit gives detailed step-by-step directions, making the process very easy.
How long will my results last?
Each person is different. For some it will be a few weeks before hair begins to reappear, for others it may be a few months. In most cases, hair growth is minimal during the first three weeks and noticeably increases later on. The new hair is generally finer and with continued use, some hair will stop growing altogether. Since heat stimulates hair growth, in the summer hair grows a bit quicker. With regular waxing, hair re-growth will be slower, more sparse, and finer.
The Surgi-Care hair removal collection includes microwavable waxes, wax strips, bleaches and depilatory creams for flawlessly smooth skin.
Brazilian Hard Wax, Best For Bikini AreaI have used various waxes designated for the bikini zone to remove my wife's bikini area. We do the full Hollywood Style so no hair is left. The sugar / non microwave waxes are useless in the bikini area. The softer microwave waxes you use with a fabric strip subject her to quite a bit of pain and cannot be used on the most delicate areas. Brazilian Hard wax allows for use on all and I mean all areas covered by the bikini and does the job with the least amount of pain. Surgi Brazilian Hard Wax for Private Parts is the best we have found. I find it best to allow the wax to harden to the point where it is slightly pliable. I test it by tapping on it for firmness. If it gets to hard, it becomes brittle and creates small flecks that must be cleaned up. Any residual wax may be removed by rubbing the area with either the pre epilation oil or any baby oil. If you can get your partner to do the waxing, it can add a lot to your relationship. Good LuckMay 25, 2010Kevin

Good Way To Get Salon Results At HomeI'm a little prudish about having a brazilian done at a salon, but I still want the same results. This product is great, much better than alternatives I've tried like Nair (which is painful on sensitive areas and the regrowth is too quick) and wax with muslin strips (which can't get to hard to reach places. The only complaint I have is that when the hair grows back, I am very prone to ingrown hairs. I am not sure if this is because of the oil or if it's just because of the way my skin is.Jan 27, 2010Terry

No One Poll for Gecko Moria....what a poor Lazy guy
If you had to Travel,Where you would want to go ?
im pretty unsure >.<, so imma just think and vote later, at anyrate... ROFL MORIA GOT PWNED
I dunno, Kuma seems like a good bet, seeing as how hard he fucking owned the strawhats both times around (They were tired though, to be fair), but
even then his Pacifista clone without the devil fruit ability managed to do some hard damage to them.
The problem with heaps of the shichibukai is that they re overconfident and dont realsie they might lose until the end. I mean look at Crocodile, even when he couldnt transform into sand and he was all bloody he still thought he was so much better and could win. And Moria who thought there was no way the SH crew could beat Oz and then he thought he could hold them until down with Shadows Asgard. And I reckon someone like Flamingo would probably toy around until he gets pwned.
Why don't more people read these mangas?
i cant believe boa n croc got votes
Sigs and Ava by Ravona
Everyone is saying if Mihawk had no swords, he would be useless. Let me say this now, if Mihawk only had a spoon, he could still kick a lot of ass. He's got speed and agility too. I'm pretty sure he could still deflect bullets with a spoon.
And he could definately make a fist, so I wouldn't count out any hand to hand action he might use. Even Zoro made a fist to punch a shark.

Cute...but OW!
"I ordered these because I have a TON of other Rocket Dogs that I love. In the past, I've had to order a size larger because my feet are slightly wide and this has always worked. However, I wore these and I, unfortunately, will have to return them because they HURT when I try to walk in them. They dig into the bone below my big toe and are tight-tight-tight...even after order a size up like I normally do. These would be PERFECT for someone with a narrow foot, though!"

Agilent Technologies Endorsed by Quantum Data for HDMI 1.3 Testing
SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 2, 2007
Agilent Technologies Inc. (NYSE: A) today announced Quantum Data's endorsement of Agilent's HDMI 1.3 compliance test software. Quantum Data invents test equipment used to identify and help solve interoperability problems between audio/visual products.
"Designing our new 882E-series video test instrument would have been next to impossible without Agilent's Infiniium oscilloscope with HDMI 1.3 compliance software," said Mark Stockfisch, vice president and CTO of Quantum Data. "Our new instruments support HDMI v1.3 bit rates, which are 50-percent faster than anything we've offered before.
"Like Agilent's customers, our customers have come to expect superior-quality, undistorted reference signals from our products. Only with Agilent's 12-gig bandwidth, low noise floor and quality fixturing were we able to clearly see the effect our design changes were having on waveform quality. As we iterated our design, we were able to log our progress toward perfection with the Infiniium's Web interface, which provided a concise statement of results over our in-house network -- and we didn't have to install drivers on our PC to make this work. We'd simply browse to the instrument to see the results. During the compliance-testing phase, the canned HDMI applications were a major timesaver. These were very responsive and had a short learning curve."
The Agilent N5399A HDMI electrical performance validation and compliance software for the company's Infiniium 54850 and 80000 Series oscilloscopes provides a fast and easy way to verify and debug HDMI designs for set-top boxes, digital video recorders, DVD players and motherboard systems.

Celebrating its 11th Anniversary, the Best of Barbecue returns to Lake Placid July 2-4
Delish.com ranks Lake Placid festival among the best in the USA; KCBS puts Lake Placid in its Top 20
USA Luge leads the organization of annual I Love BBQ and Music Festival
LAKE PLACID, N.Y. – The aromas from the pit bosses will once again waft from the Olympic Speed Skating Oval in Lake Placid when the 10th Annual I Love BBQ and Music Festival, benefitting the Thomas Shipman Youth Center in Lake Placid, returns July 2-4.
The center, located just down the street from the skating oval, is a not-for-profit organization providing support and programs for youth 10-18 years of age. The facility was inspired by the late Thomas Shipman, a Lake Placid police officer who dedicated his life to the area's youngsters.
USA Luge, the national governing body for the sport in the United States, helps support the organization of the annual event as a means of giving back to its home community.
Daily admission is $6 for adults; children under 10 will be admitted free of charge. And for the first time, the I Love BBQ and Music Festival and the I Love NY Horse Show will participate in reciprocal agreements, effective July 3-5. Ticket holders for one of those events during those days can gain entry to the other.
"For the last nine years, the I Love Barbecue and Music Festival has brought to Lake Placid over 300 barbecue teams from United States, Canada and Europe," said festival organizer Dmitry Feld, USA Luge marketing manager. "We've had over 180 music bands from Lake Placid to Louisiana, and have attracted over 50,000 visitors. And in the previous nine years, thanks to undying support from our volunteers, we're proud to say that we've raised over $180,000 for the Shipman Youth Center."

GDB 21: Garon rides the pine
Jason Gregor
November 26 2008 01:46PM
If it wasn't obvious before, it is now. Craig MacTavish has lost confidence in Mathieu Garon. In a move that shocked most, Dwayne Roloson will be starting tonight, not Garon, against the Kings.
Why you ask?
I have no idea. This move doesn't make sense on any level. Roloson got pulled his last time out, and while Garon didn't look comfortable for the first ten minutes in relief, he did look much better as game wore on.
The Oilers had four days of practice, Garon got to see more rubber than he had in the previous weeks, he looked and acted more comfortable and even he gave the impression he expected to start tonight against his former team.
But there was Roloson, first off at practice, and talking openly about starting tonight.
At the start of MacTavish's press conference today, he was asked about Garon, but said he didn't want to talk about the goalies before the game. Later in presser when pushed on it again he spoke about it.
"In talking to Pete about Mathieu he says his game in coming along in practice. It's not just about the game, it's about how Pete sees them (three goalies) coming along in practice. Matty's game is coming around and based on practice he will get a start very soon."
This move is more about just whether Roloson is better than Garon. MacTavish has lost confidence in Garon, and it sounds like goaltending coach Pete Peeters isn't on the same page as Garon.
It was well-documented last season that Peeters wasn't enamoured with Garon working with another goaltending consultant, Lyle Mast. Garon enjoyed working with Mast, and sources have hinted that #32 is no longer allowed to work with him.
If that is indeed the case, then Garon's not playing could be based on more than just stopping pucks.
There is clearly something fishy about this situation.
Garon was great in his first three starts, and then average to below-average in the four since, but he wasn't awful in relief against the Wings. And it's not like Roloson was outstanding in his past few starts. He was okay, but not so great that you wouldn't consider going with Garon.
Many wonder if the Oilers are showcasing Roloson, or plan on doing the same with Garon when, or if, he gets another start. So I asked MacTavish if he ever takes that angle when considering who will be his starter.
"I'm not a fortune teller. It's incumbent on the player to get in there and play well, if he wants continue to play. That's the simple part of it. When the goalies get and play well, like Mathieu did earlier, Jeff did in the middle, and how Rollie has done now. I go by what I see in practice and in the games; it's as simple as that."
Based on those comments Garon must not be practicing well, because he has only played 48 minutes since Nov 7th.
Rarely do I second guess a lot of moves a coach makes, because I don't think I know more than him, but in this case I'm scratching my head.
All the signs pointed to starting Garon. He allowed one goal in 25 shots versus Detroit. He had four days of practice, he was playing his former team, and he hasn't had a start since November 6th, but he will be watching again.
Coaches get paid to win, so if the Oilers win tonight, MacTavish can feel confident in his decision. But this decision has many more negatives possibilities than it does positive ones.
The only positive is a win.
A lose opens him up to loads of criticism, and justified criticism in this case. It leaves Garon wondering more than ever where he fits on this team. It also hurts the team down the road. They need to clarify their goaltending situation sooner than later, and hopefully find a solution that ends what has become a five-year search for a true #1 goalie.
Win or lose tonight, not starting Garon looks wrong.

November 26 2008, 01:55PM
Good Lord, Craig MacTavish has lost his marbles. How on Gregor's green earth does Garon not get the start? Whatever happened to him being our #1? I would consider this a larger slap in the face than what MacT did with Penner. At least Penner only sat for 2 games. It's becoming more clear why UFAs don't want to come to Edmonton. It's not because of the cold, the night life, or the media. It's the coach. Way to lose another player in the dressing room, MacT, only 20 or so more to go.
Agreed, baggedmilk. He's killin' us, here. Is there anyway we can sit MacT for a while and go with Huddy as the head coach for 3 weeks?
November 26 2008, 02:06PM
Who saw this coming?
November 26 2008, 02:08PM
Chances of Garon resigning with the Oilers under MacTavish regime? 0%
Another player with potential run out of town to keep the old balls player happy. AWESOME!
I wish/hope that Katz reads this blog.
JDD- With wins in the 1.Saddledome 2.Jersey 3.MSG - What more does he have to do?? Tell me the last time an Oiler tender had wins in those rinks in the same season...let alone in the first 4 starts of their career!??!? MacT is rattled and picking the sure bet. Roli is a stop gap, and not in our long term plans!! Garon and JDD should be splitting the load and building towards the future!!! GO OIL GO!!
20 or so more to go baggedmilk? I think he's lost a lot more than 2 or 3 guys already.
November 26 2008, 02:18PM
This rotation of players - from forwards playing out of position - to defensemen playing as forwards - and now this with Garon is just getting out of control. Someone needs to stop the nonesense.
Maybe MacT is letting Garon rest up so he's fresh for his debut as the fourth-line left winger against St. Louis Saturday.
November 26 2008, 02:23PM
Remember when we played Novice hockey, or tim bits hockey, or whatever the hell level you started playing at, and everyone got a turn at every position? I hear that Strudwick is going to have a go in net on Saturday, and JDD is going to play third line center.
I'm all for finding the right combination that works, but, come on. If the lines/goalies are still this scattered at the all star break don't be surprised if we see Kay-Z parachute in from the roof, pull MacT's pants down at center ice, and give him a full on spanking in front of everyone.
baggedmilk Says: November 26th, 2008 at 2:08 pm Chances of Garon resigning with the Oilers under MacTavish regime? 0%
I agree that the way things are shaking out is strange but in looking ahead I wonder if Garon not signing here isn't the option we should hope for.
We're talking about committing money and most importantly term to a starting goaltender and despite the flashes Garon has shown he is far from proven and even if he was we are still left looking at a guy that would probably rank in 15-25 range league wide.
I don't know who the answer is but it would sure be nice if the Oilers solved friggin position once and for all.
This is total bunk. MacT sure knows how to turn chicken salad into chicken shit. Next year will be inspiring when the goaltending tandem is something like JDD and a "choice" free agent signing like Martin Gerber. No goalie in his right mind would come here as a FA unless he received about double any other offer. This season is going down the dumper in front of our eyes. Can we have a new coach yet?
November 26 2008, 02:29PM
Garon + penner and Gagner for kovalchuk and pavec...
November 26 2008, 02:31PM
I don't know who the answer is but it would sure be nice if the Oilers solved friggin position once and for all.
...fine...I'll play net.
This is getting embarrassing. What players would want to come here after seeing how certain players are treated. This is ridiculous. As a season ticket holder since '79 I will stand up at the next luncheon and demand that MacTavish be fired for this absolute ignorance. I might not get that chance though, as the Oilers now treat their season ticket holders like garbage and don't have the luncheons anymore.
How has Garon performed under Peter's guidance? What does it say about an organization that stops a player from working with people he's comfortable with? What does it say about Peter's character when he acts like a jealous ass? For the record Pete Peters SUCKED as a goalie - and sucks even more as a coach.
I don't even know if I can put my jersey on tonight as I'm becoming ashamed of what this team has become under Lowe, MacT and Co.
Katz needs to stop being such a jock sniffer and lay down the law.
November 26 2008, 02:40PM
Robin: I heard Garon was a real sniper during his days in the Q.
November 26 2008, 02:41PM
Question for everyone...
Which happens first?
a)Garon gets a start b)Claude Lemieux wins another Conn Smythe c)Mike Peca has his underbite fixed
Annnnndddd GO!
November 26 2008, 02:43PM
Hey BM, how about this idea.... we trade for Turco, move him up to play with Hemmer, since he does that drill in warmup to put a puck through the camera holes in the glass in the corners.
Another perfect example of maybe the problem here is the coach. Another start for Roli makes no sense.
Maybe if Roli gets yanked again today MacT's hand will be forced.
Very disappointing.
November 26 2008, 02:44PM
If luongo wanted to have his own goalie coach, which I am sure he does, whomever the team is they would surely not oppose. If a goalie feels comfortable only under their own coach they should be allowed the right. I didnt know this was the case with Oil; it almost seems as if the writing is on the wall for Garon: "Thank you, but no need to think about being here for the long-term." It seems the oil are impressed by what he did last year and obviously wanted him to come here and play back up, but were not ever or even will to think of his as a Number 1. It surely looks like we will be looking to free agency this summer and most likely looking or a goalie early in the draft. Devan Dubnyk seems to have picked up his game greatly this year too. I have a feeling roloson might not be the one traded this year.
Bye bye Garon.....
November 26 2008, 02:48PM
I want to punch MacT in the brain. I wonder how many player are shaking their heads right now in total amazement that this bag of crap is still their coach.
RB: that was nice a barb! Well played played:)
Jason: nice work on the reveal with the outside netminding coach. That's the first time I've seen that in print and it probably tells us all we need to know.
The last thing I'll throw out there is since when did Pete Peeters deserve the keys to any decision making machinery?
It seems out and out nuts that Peeters has now taken Garon out of starting two games; tonight's and then the last game at Colu.
Not only is this fishy, it's also weird and frustrating.
November 26 2008, 02:53PM
I can't wait until the only goalie we can get to sign here in the summer is either a) Roloson and Katz pays his contract in arthritis meds or b) a goalie like Gerber.
I mean Pete Peters has obviously done wonders with the goalies. Roloson was terrible last year, Garon was good last year dealing with a different coach, Roloson was bad the year before, Conklin and Markannen were bad the year before that.
I am really at a loss for words. I have not cheered against the Oilers but I truly hope they get pummeled tonight.
November 26 2008, 02:56PM
Gerber to edmonton as a FA - woo :(
Pete Peeters seems like a guy who deserves a throttling and Gregor and Brownlee may get one as well if they don't stop being as funny and/or truthful and revealing as they've been in this thread:)
I can't remember 100% but I think the same thing happened to Ray Emery. Ottawa fired the goaltending coach and brought over Gerber's old goaltending coach. He tried to turn an athletic Ray Emery into a stand up goalie that just looks big and the rest is history.
I wonder how Tiger Woods would perform if his coach was Jim Furyk.
November 26 2008, 03:02PM
Anybody know how long Peters has been the goalie coach? Like back into the days of Salo? Cujo?
November 26 2008, 03:02PM
Aside from your oddly spelled name, just how badly did Pete Peters suck as a goalie?
1982/83: The Bruins acquire goaltender Pete Peters, who wins the Vezina Trophy while posting a 9-game winning streak and a 31-game undefeated streak with 26 wins, as the Bruins finish with a league best 50-20-10 record. In the playoffs the Bruins would oust the Quebec Nordiques in a 4 games. However in the Adams Division Finals the Bruins would be pushed to the limit by the Buffalo Sabres before winning Game 7 in overtime. However, in the Wales Conference Finals the Bruins would be sent away by the New York Islanders in 6 games. That year, which was Peeters' first with Boston, he posted a 40-11-9 record with 2.34 GAA. He led the NHL in wins, average and shutouts (8). He was also named to the All-Star team as the top goaltender
Oh RIGHT! Vesna trophy sucky! Peters did nothing to improve Tommy Salo when he came to town too, right (pre-Belarus meltdown)? RIGHT?
November 26 2008, 03:04PM
Jason: I'll second Dennis' comment about the goalie coach - that's great information and very appreciated.
Here are the Oilers goaltending numbers on the season:
Deslauriers: 3-1-0, 2.44 GAA, .927 SV% Roloson: 3-3-2, 3.02 GAA, .913 SV% Garon: 3-5-0, 3.41 GAA, .889 SV%
MacTavish's preference for Roloson seems glaringly obvious to me, and I think he decided Roli was going to have a shot at the number one job again this season, so the first chance he got he decided to roll with Roloson.
Personally, I think that's silly, since Roloson isn't going to be the starter next year and Garon could be (or possibly at this point "could have been"). On the other hand, it isn't like Roloson hasn't given him reason for confidence so far, and if his play continues MacTavish is going to look just fine for going with Roli.
Seems pretty clear to me that one of the three needs to go - even Garon, who has the worst numbers of the bunch, deserves better than he's been getting. The strong play of Jeff Deslauriers has really made this a three horse race and that isn't good for any of them.
Fire CracT. PERIOD. Is Laddy still playing wing? You know, for along time, I stood by and thought he deserved time. But WTF???? Garon is the NUMBER 1 GUY for what 3 games? Now, I will not blame this on Roli, who is clearly CracT guy, BUT I WILL BLAME KLO, TAMBY AND CRACT.....TRADE OR WAIVE A GOALIE. by the time these morons get this sorted out.....I'm gonna be broke and we're gonna finish 9th....just like last year. If this idiot had of made Garon the number 1 last year, when everyone in the free world could tell he was on fire, and that Roli had lost it....WE ARE IN THE PLAYOFFS. How much longer????? How much longer Klo??? How much longer Tamby??? How much longer Billionaire Kz...that said things would happen fast once he ran the team...
November 26 2008, 03:14PM
MacT has the last word on who is playing. Change the coach now!
November 26 2008, 03:16PM
Maybe i'm crazy but... they must have a reason not to start Garon. He must be (doing/saying) something to keep riding the pine. I for one don't really care who is in net. So to be honest who gives a rat's ass on who plays tonight. Really this must be a decoy for the crappy play of the forwards. We need to score. That's what the team needs.
Besides, Roli is a great goalie except for the 5 hole. By far his weakest spot. 2 goals tonight will be scored 5 hole on Roli.
Remember that MacTavish is the same coach who after finally announcing to the media after Garon stole numerous game that "Garon is the #1", went and played Roli 3 out of he next 4 games. MacTavish handles goalies about as well as Ally McBeal can handle mandingo.
November 26 2008, 03:19PM
With the strong play of JDD. I can see him getting the shot at #1 next season. And I think he will be a great goalie down the road.
November 26 2008, 03:19PM
Didn't that happen after Garon was injured, though? That's the only time I can remember in the second half where MacTavish rolled with Roloson.
Jonathan: No, it was earlier in the season. January 17th is around when MacTavish said Garon is his number 1 and then played Roli 3 of the next 4. Long before Garon's injury.
MacTavish said around Janurary 15th that "Garon is my # 1 goalie."
Then started Roli
January 17 January 20 January 22
It was funny because all the fans were saying since MONTHS earlier that Garon should be the #1 and then when MacTavish finally came out and said it to the media he went against his word and played Roli 3 of the next 4.
If it wasn't obvious before, it is now. The fans have has lost confidence in Craig MacTavish. Story at 11:00
November 26 2008, 03:46PM
Fair enough, Braden. Thanks.
The term is Mactarded. That's what this is....
November 26 2008, 03:48PM
Great Scott, by the looks of this I'm going to have to clear some room on the "Fire MacT Bandwagon." Heaven forbid they lose tonight or I have some Caravans, Aerostars, and panel vans to rob.
November 26 2008, 03:56PM
BM: There certainly is a large amount of pitch fork & torch weilding folks around here today.
There is clearly a pecking order in that dressing room and it's not entirely based on performance. I disagree with the way Garon has been handled. (It must be a personality thing) I disagree with the way Penner has been treated. (Definately a personality thing) Last year MacT backed Stortini at every turn. (Because he had helped run Big George outta town...because of personality)
I think MacT has been too close to this group for too long. It's time to take his personality to the pressbox. Let's have a new pecking order established based entirely on performance and performance alone. It's time to be a more professional organization.
November 26 2008, 04:13PM
Anyone know what the 3rd and 4th lines are going to be tonight?
November 26 2008, 04:15PM
With Jeff Deslauriers as the number one tender, and Roloson as the backup? ;)
November 26 2008, 04:18PM
The mighty Oil that KLowe and MacT have assembled are on pace to finish a "mere" 60 points behind first place San Jose!! Combine that with the fact they also are only 4 points out of "Dead F**cking Last" place!!! Nice job boys!!! Then they have the audacity to tell they are basically happy with a 9-11 record so far!!
November 26 2008, 04:24PM
The masses seem upset :)
Open question to everyone: if the Oilers win 4-0 tonight, will anyone's opinion on the firing/not-firing of Lowe/Tambellini/MacTavish/Joey Moss change? If not, what kind of performance would it take to change your mind (in this game or coming games)?
I only ask because I'm wondering how entrenched people are in their positions.
November 26 2008, 04:29PM
14-0? WITH HORCOFF, HEMMER AND PENNER EACH GETING A HATTRICK, AND THE FIRST 100 SAVE SHUTOUT? MacT can stay forever.
