Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon Line
Virtually invisible and almost invincible, Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon is at the apex of fluorocarbon evolution, and Seaguar's strongest and softest line yet. Available in Japan for quite some time before it officially hit North American shores, Seaguar R18 Tatsu fishing line combines two 100% fluorocarbon custom resins using Seaguar's exclusive double structure fluorocarbon (DSF) technology. Super sensitive and abrasion resistant, the soft exterior resin provides tournament-grade knot strength and flexibility, while the hard interior resin vastly improves tensile strength. Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon also sinks faster so you can maximize your time in the strike zone. Like the flexible, lithe, and armored scales of a Dragon (tatsu – means dragon in Japanese), Seaguar Tatsu Fluorocarbon has a tough, but soft exterior, which hides incomparable inner strength.

Customer Reviews
Comments: It is very good fluoro, very limp, manageable, strong & good knot strength. The abrasion resistance when deep cranking rocks isn't that great though. It is good line, but not worth the price at all.
From: Tyler: Grand Junction, CO 6/19/16
Comments: Fishing 6lb in snag free ponds I never had this break. Caught up to 9lb Bass & had bigger that threw the hook. I use the best knot for fluoro & chap stick for lubrication. I Retie every day and after a big one, and don't tighten the knot on the eye or ring; but pull the line on both sides of the knot with both hands. I run the line out to get rid of twists, and use VanDam's line spray.
Comments: Great fluoro,I use the 25lb to throw around larger(3-8 oz) swimbaits & 15 for smaller ones(1-3). Price point is noticeably higher than some fluorocarbon lines but the quality is there & more.
From: Brad: OH 12/5/14
Comments: all I can say is wow. I thought Seaguar Invizx was something special and that's what I used to flip with(20lb). I figured I would give this line a try and I stepped up to the (25lb) Tatsu to flip with and I will never go back to invizx for flipping. Tatsu is very sensitive with low memory. smaller diameter than invizx but stronger
From: Stallings: Knox, TN 4/11/15
Comments: Never have I seen this line break. One trip south of the border for 4 days lake el salto two guys tossing this line 800 fish. Not open water fish either this is pitching and flipping heavy cover. Around sticks. And anything else you can imagine. Not a single break off! 12-25 lb tatsu/invizx then another 7 day trip to lake baccarac mid May. 100+ degrees 15 hour days. Same results. Best line on earth period.
From: Cody: Columbia Falls, MT 12/24/14
Comments: Spooled 1 rod with 12 and 1 with 15 recently. This stuff is pricy, but I've been very impressed. Casts very well, very supple, not too much memory, and pretty thin.
From: Shane: Santee, SC 11/28/14
Comments: a little secret. braid to floro leader. you won't have the break down in the spool
From: Vinny: USA 3/5/14
Comments: Bought 12# for my light worm rig because it was on sale. Seemed to be alright until after a couple minor backlashes made a cast and the line had broke 20 yards deep in the spool. This happened twice
From: Dave: Columbia MD
Comments: I have used may brands of fluorocarbon lines. I have always had issues with the line breaking at or near the Palomar knot tied at the hook. Not with TATSU. I have used it all season and had ZERO rigs break at the hook. For drop shot fishing, 8lb TATSU is now my #1 choice for great lakes smallmouth.
From: Jesse: Detroit, MI
Comments: I tried the 10lb test and the first fish I hooked snapped this line like a piece of thread. $40.00 down the drain. I took it off my reel and threw this stuff the trash where it belongs!
From: Freddy: bernice, ok
Comments: Let me start by saying that this is absolutely some of the best line ever made. There is a reason the price is what it is. I honestly can't even really think of anything negative to say about it other than the absurd price. However, I do think it is very similar to the Sunline FC Sniper. They are both high end line, but at about $10 less a spool, I have to give the overall nod to Sunline FC Sniper. If you try Tatsu though, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed.
From: Slade: Kansas
Comments: I bought a spool of 10# test Tatsu to use on my drop shot and shaky head spinning combos. I had been using Seaguar's InvizX. This line is 10 times better. It has noticeably less stretch than InvizX. It handles better than InvizX. It's more sensitive, and abrasion resistant. It ties knots a lot better, it does everything better. This is by far the best fluorocarbon you could ever buy for use on spinning gear. It's not even close. Yes, it's expensive. Will I buy it in heavier # tests to use on my bait casting gear? No. But then again, stiffer fluorocarbon lines aren't a problem on bait casting gear. It's expensive to be sure. But for what I bought it for, it's well worth the money.
From: Dave: Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio
Comments: I hate to be the Lone Ranger here but, this Dragon did not breath fire or fly for me /I purchased 2 spools of 10 lb.test Tatsu and 2 spools of 10 lb. InvizX / it was like I was using 2 lb.test line / due to the small diameter any nick or rub on the line decreased the strength by 80 % and the line was so clear you could not see bad rubs /also, with the Tatsu I experienced line twist so bad to the point where on one trip I had to put the rod away and fish the rest of the day with my back up rig / I have returned the unused line for a refund and personally I should be refunded for the Tatsu that I used after all it's supposed to be the best line in the world. Down the road I might purchase some heavier pound test but, I can not afford to be using line that I have no confidence in and using knots that I have never tied before during this time of year.
From: Sam: Cardiff by the Sea, CA
Comments: Awesome assessment of the line Pat, very helpful. Anyhow, the 8# has been great for wacking rigging on a semi-slack line. The sensitivity is superior to any other line I've used and the "hype" is well earned.
From: Chad: Stockton, CA
Comments: Awesome fishing line!!You can fish it around zebra mussels, rocks, yank bass from grass all day. Long casting, super sensitive. I have been fishing for bass for 30 years,all over the country. By far the best flourocarbon line on the market now!
From: Tracy: Fennville, MI
Comments: Here's the deal. I fished every line out there. Ive been busted off and lost a lot of rods and reels in the drink because of it. False advertised line I despise. This is stuff is they best line on the market. Zero memory. Zero stretch. Abrasion resistant to say the least. Had a tournament with some friends last week and if it wasn't for this line it would have been game over. Hooked a bass close to heavy cover and it looked like he was playing magical chairs with the tree limb. Line held up tournament won! Good stuff well worth the money
From: Kevin: Kalispell, MT
Comments: I got a 40 yd spool of 8lb Tatsu when I bought a spool of Kanzen for free :) I am using it as a leader on my spinning gear. It has some memory, but it is a very limp line. I will not be getting any more of this line, it is way too expensive for its performance.
From: Kyle: MI
Comments: Tried a spool of the 15lb. Overall Tatsu is a very strong line. Castability is pretty good but it still has a good bit of memory. Like others I use a good bit of backing so I get two reels filled out of one spool. It holds up well to the rocky lakes I fish in. Price is terrible but I only have to use one spool per season. Sticking with cheaper Fluro and Mono on my other reels.
From: Casey: Greenville, SC
Comments: I haven't tried all the different brands of fluro's yet but this line is great, cast like a bullet on my spinning rigs and no break of knot problems, I wish it was not so expensive, but might pay for itself over time
From: Vince: Jamestown, TN
Comments: This is definitely not worth the price, very disappointed in the performance for the cost. There are better fluorocarbons out there that are cheaper such as sunline or gamma.
From: Bob: Waterbury, CT
Comments: This is the best fluoro I have every fished hands down. It is on level with the YGK, hi end Toray and other JDM lines that I have tried. I wish it came in 30lb test and .018 diameter or .020 diameter. I would not spool an entire reel with Tatsu....Most people don't cast 150 feet consistently unless you are chunking a rattle trap or big crankbait... 50 yards is 150 feet. You can spool at least 3 reels and sometimes 4 depending on size and spool if you use backing. One spool of this will last the weekend angler for a long time. I fished one spool on 4 jig rods from February through October and never respooled. I never had a breakoff related to a fish or abrasion and not one break at the knot. I have had only one other line (non braid) in the last 15 years that stood up to that and it was the original formula of Sunline Shooter in 25lb test. I do wish it was cheaper and also 250 yard spools...then I could get 5 reels per spool. Just my thoughts...
From: Steve: Auburn, AL
Comments: Flipped with Tatsu for an entire season. Sure it is expensive but it is by far the best flourocarbon and for flipping you only need to put 50 yards on (use backing) and it lasts an entire season. Considering I spooled four flipping reels and it lasted an entire season the cost is pretty reasonable. I used to change mono at least 3-4 times per season anyways and the sensitivity and abrasion resistance is so much better. Also, makes great leader material!
From: Tom: Rochester, NY
Comments: Absolutely the best fluorocarbon fishing line that I have ever used. Very strong with great knot strength. Still not worth $40 to fill a spool.
From: Chad: Louisville, KY
Comments: Tied on 20lb test and it was so limp and it casts so well, I had to double check because I thought I put on the wrong size line, amazing limpness and low memory compared to any other line I've used. Only problem is my Curado 300 holds 240 yards of 12lb test and it only comes in 200 yard spool, so a 250 yard spool would be nice, especially considering the price.
From: Martin: Carthage, TX
Comments: Best line but 250 yards would make more sense, and be a better value. Another fifty yards would mean 25 more per spool, almost enough to fill two reels with good line for $50 bucks, plus shipping. Still doesn't sound great, but in fishing line as in life, you get what you pay for.
From: Randy: San Antonio, TX
Comments: Casting distance and sensitivity are about average to other flurocarbon lines. However, this is the strongest flurocarbon I've ever used. When I did encounter snags I would typically straighten the hook before the line would break. I cannot stress how strong the line is and on my most recent outting, I did not lose one fish to the line breaking. I don't have to tell you that this line is completely over priced but I'll gladly pay extra for peace of mind.
From: Nathan: Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Comments: Best fluorocarbon line Ive ever used. Yes it is worth the money. Super soft and manageable and best of all, its super easy to cast.
From: Daniel: NC
Comments: I'm one of those guys that gets hung up - I throw it and work it in the nasty stuff. I lost about 40 lures in about 30 trips to lakes before Tatsu. After Tatsu I lost 3 in the next 30 something trips before the weather shut me down. It is hard to pay that much, but from my math it pays for itself. There are other lines that won't break, but they aren't as manageable or invisible as Tatsu.
From: Miles: Weatherford, OK
Comments: First, let me say that I am not a fan of fluorocarbon line in general. I don't like the brittleness and memory of it and would rather use a quality mono or braid. But let's face it, fluoro has it's advantages and situations where it is the best line. This is by far the best fluoro I've tried. I hate paying this much for it, but if I am fishing in a situation that calls for fluoro this will probably be the line I use.
From: Scott: New Mexico, USA
Comments: Best fluorocarbon I've ever used but obviously very expensive.
From: Spiro: Chicago, IL
Comments: I'm impressed with this line, it's like fishing with a mono but with all the characteristics of fluoro, soft yet tough, low memory. Its like Invizx but much more manageable,if you like Invizx you'll love Tatsu.
From: Jerry: Tucson, AZ

When Arthur moved to Spring Canyon, one Saturday, one of this friends introduced him to a bunch of school kids that were playing football, and a young man by the name of Lynn Richards said, "I think were just going to call you Leif." That is how he got his nickname of Leif, and has been called that ever since.
Leif was born, July 12, 1928 in Wattis to Carl (Whitey) Erickson, and Cell Christensen. His father Carl came from Hokksund, Norway, when he was 15 years old, and never returned. Leif's mother, Cell, was born in Emery. He attended school in Emery and Carbon County.
When he met his wife to be, he was working as a butcher in the company store in Spring Canyon. When they got married in 1949 his boss gave him a whole half a day off. They were married in her mom and dad's home in Spring Canyon. Their marriage was later solemnized in the Manti Temple on Nov. 11, 1955.
After they got married, he was transferred to the Standardville Store, as a manager, when they closed the mine down, they also closed the store. Then he went to work in the Spring Canyon coal mine as a mechanic, where he worked until the mine had an explosion in 1958, there were four men killed in that explosion, one of those men was his wife's brother Keith Anderson.
When work got real slow in Utah, they moved to Carbondale, Colo. Where Leif worked for Mid-Continent coal and coke, as a foreman in the coal preparation plant. He worked his way up to become the superintendent of that plant. In all they lived in Colorado for 30 years. They had five children, two boys and three girls. They lost their oldest son to cancer on Jan. 19, 2002. Leif has 17 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren.
Leif retired in 1990. They moved to Richfield, so they could be close to Fishlake, a place they dearly loved, and also to be close to Rene's aging mother. Leif and his wife were called to be ordinance workers in the Manti Temple. They served in that calling for six and a half years, which they thoroughly enjoyed.
Because of the failing health of Rene's elderly mother, they came to the decision to move to Emery, so they could be next door to her and take care of her.
Leif and his wife are very active in the church. At this time, Leif is the high priest group leader, Leif and Bishop Cox are great buddies and are always out doing for others. They work together in the Bishops workshop making picture frames and other things.

U.S. Marines rock rappel during ROK Marine Mountain Warfare Course
DVIDS | Apr 04 2014
REPUBLIC OF KOREA MARINE CORPS MOUNTAIN WARFARE TRAINING CENTER (March 19, 2014) — U.S. Marines learned how to rappel down rocky surfaces and cross rope bridges from Republic of Korea Marines March 19 during the second day of the three-day Mountain Warfare Training Course at the Mountain Warfare Training Center in Pohang, Republic of Korea.
The U.S. Marines going through the course are with various units under III Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group and are in the Republic of Korea to take part in Marine Expeditionary Force Exercise 2014. MEFEX 14 exercises the interoperability and combined capabilities of the ROK and U.S. Marine Corps.
The course gave U.S. Marines a chance to build camaraderie between units and a relationship with the ROK Marines, according to U.S. Marine SSgt David J. Sheer, an electronic maintenance technician with 3rd Intelligence Battalion, III MHG, III MEF.
"The training definitely builds confidence in your equipment and your fellow Marines, both ROK and U.S.," said Sheer. "It's an excellent opportunity to train with other units and work with the ROK Marines. The ROK Marines are very professional and expertise in mountain war-fighting techniques was impressive."
Although all U.S. Marines learn how to rappel, The ROK instructors introduced the U.S. Marines to various scenarios and new techniques to conquer them, according to U.S. Marine LCpl Michelle A. Mendoza, a motor transport operator with 9th, Engineer Support Battalion, III MHG.
"This was refreshing, I never thought I would do something like this," said Mendoza. "It's a lot less pressure than in boot camp, so you're able to get inside your comfort zone and see what works for you. You actually learn what you're doing. I'm more confident in my abilities because of what we did today."
For the U.S. Marines participating in the training course, it was mentally and physically challenging.
"I was excited to do this, I love an adrenaline rush, and the height of the cliff-face and rope bridge the ROK instructors had us navigate was much higher than anything I have done before and crossing all three rope bridges was strenuous but I still went back for more," said Lance Cpl. Joseph Taylor, a motor transport operator with 7th Communication Battalion, III MHG. "This training taught me new techniques for rock climbing and rappelling I want to continue using and build upon in my own time."
According to Sheer, Marines should take full advantage of an opportunity like this. It's a chance to work with professionals from a different country. It provides a challenge but also develops confidence.
"As Marines we are expected to fight in any clime and place and this kind of training is what being a Marine is all about!" said Sheer.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
Mesia Nyman presented a forest service update at the Emery County Public Lands Council meeting on Aug. 12. She began by telling the council that the forest service was waiving the fees for the Arapeen ATV Jamboree use of the forest trails. She mentioned the jamboree would use the first year as a building year and the event will gain momentum as it becomes better known and through word of mouth advertising. She said the event would begin with a ride up Reeder on Aug. 13.
Nyman said the forest is on fire restrictions and fires are to be lit only in developed campground steel fire rings. There have been six small fires in the district, but they have been contained to one tenth of an acre and the response was fast and they were put out quickly. One hundred acres have burned, however, on private ground near Scofield Reservoir.
The grazing situation looked worrisome to begin with Nyman said, but with the recent rains things are looking pretty good. The cattle have been moving through the allotments, quicker than normal and the main problem is with the water sources. Some springs are dried up and some cattlemen have been hauling water.
Nyman reported that the weeds are still doing well even with the drought and the forest service has an active weed fighting program. They have a crew of six people who are out fight weeds every day. Also, this year the forest service is working with the sheep herders who are out herding their sheep on a daily basis and come into contact daily with the weeds and are now enlisted in the fight against the noxious weeds.
The weed strategy to date has worked with keeping the weeds out of the south where the concentration of weeds is less than in the north. Also work continues to make inroads in the north and keep the weeds from moving southward.
Nyman reported that there is an infestation of Mormon crickets in Joes Valley which could have a big impact on the forage.
She said there has been a die out of wheat stands and with the recent rains there has been a little regeneration and the forest service plans on a reseeding project. Nyman asked the council where we are on the wild and scenic river process. Commissioner Gary Kofford reported that they have attended many meetings with the forest service and that the draft will soon be out. Ann King will present the draft to the forest service. The forest service has asked for input from the public and the county as they have gone through the wild and scenic river process.
Nyman reported that the forest service is installing some new culverts along the Millers Flat Road to help with drainage problems and to expect some traffic delays in the area. Also, there will be a bridge replacement at Miller's Flat Reservoir and traffic will be rerouted around the bridge. The magwater treatment has been done on stretches of road on the Ferron Dugway. Nyman said she had hoped this treatment would help with the washboard problems of that road, but it hasn't. The commissioners explained that with a sandy road base with nothing for the magwater to adhere to the treatments aren't as effective as roads with more gravel in the base. However, more treatments will be administered to this road in the fall and Ray Petersen, public lands director, said that the gravel the forest service has generated has performed a lot better than what the contractor on the project had provided.
The road to Wrigley Reservoir has had a problem with maintenance. Large mounds of dirt were dumped on the road with the intent of being bladed down immediately, but the intended work was not completed for a couple of weeks and some vehicles traveling the road sustained damage. Nyman pointed out that any vehicles that sustained damage have a valid claim and need to file a clam as the forest service would like to take care of the problem. The problem with the road has been taken care of now.
The ATV bridge across Ferron Creek may not be completed this season. The improvements to the dispersed campsites on Miller's Flat Road has not had a design completed or an analysis completed yet. There has been some opposition to this project which would include some learner loops for young ATV riders and also some loop reroutes. However, work to the roads will begin in a couple of weeks.
Petersen mentioned that he had been in the Miller's Flat area over the 24th of July and there didn't seem to be any enforcement or education going on at that time and he didn't see any goodwill riders in the area. "There was a problem and more impact on that area that weekend than there should be all year. It was a free for all for camping and OHV activity," said Petersen.
Nyman said she would pass that information along and see if they can correct the problem for next year. She also reported that they are replacing 12 old toilets on the forest with newer sweet smelling ones. The DWR is currently working on the Ferron Reservoir dam and will continue through November.
Nyman discussed a letter she had received from the council requesting a team approach at evaluating allotments when the time comes for the cattle to move or leave the forest. She said they would be happy and willing to participate in any such program. Dickson Huntington who is the grazing subcommittee chairman for the lands council said he had talked to the cattlemen association presidents and they were less than enthused about the idea. Huntington said they didn't want to impede any of the work the forest service does and they felt they had been treated fairly, although the group effort is not a bad concept. Nyman said they would not be an impediment and that she would let them know when the dates for the allotment visits have been decided. Ray Wareham, a cattleman from Ferron brought the matter before the lands council in a previous meeting where he discussed the matter saying that he thought the allotment visits are too long in coming and that after the cattle leave, elk feed on the allotment and the forest service does not get a clear picture as to the condition of the allotment at the exact time the cattle are taken off. Many times he stated, site visits are done in the fall after the remaining vegetation has already frozen. He felt a more accurate assessment of the condition of the allotment could be done at the time of the removal of the cattle.
Commissioner Kofford mentioned that a photo history of the allotment is an option as to portray the true condition of the allotment when the cattle come off. Nyman mentioned that the forest service has invited many agencies and experts to come to Gentry for a look at the problems there and to offer solutions.
Nyman said they have cameras installed at various locations taking pictures to monitor the lynx. So far there hasn't been any lynx photographed but bear and a bobcat have appeared in the photos.
Nyman said they have a lot of mineral related matters going on at the current time. Craig Johansen, water subcommittee chairman said that he had heard there was a conflict between the BLM and the forest service about mining methods underneath Box Canyon
Nyman said she believed the conflicts were being handled in the upper levels of the BLM and the forest service in Washington. Johansen said that he liked the forest service involvement and their ideas on resource utilization more than the BLM as the BLM had not been kind to them in those matters. The BLM wanted to utilize long wall methods which results in subsidence and the loss of water on the surface.
Johansen explained that the BLM handles all leases of mineral rights on federal land including the forest service. The forest service is responsible for the surface lands. The BLM leases the coal tracts to the highest bidder. To date the forest service has had consent authority and their approval was needed on the awarding of any leases. In Johansen's opinion the BLM is trying to get the consent authority removed from the forest service.
Long wall mining operations cause subsidence and many mining operations have been required to use the room and pillar method when crossing beneath streams to prevent subsidence. Long wall mining increases the yield of coal and results in increased coal royalties for the federal government. Johansen's opinion is that water will be compromised for the sake of mining. "We have relied on the forest service's consent authority heavily in the past," he said.
Johansen asked Nyman how they can get in the mix on the issue. Nyman suggested they express their concerns to the political representatives and they are also welcome to discuss any of it with the mineral experts from both the forest service and the BLM. Johansen expressed concern that he thinks pressure is being exerted to let the leases which come over to Joes Valley reservoir and that 1.8 miles is close enough to the reservoir without coming any closer. Johansen felt the BLM is actively pushing to get closer.
Nyman said it sounded like the issue is bigger than just what is happening in Box Canyon.
It was determined that the commission would send a letter to the BLM, forest service, and state and national representatives expressing county views on the matter.

A new area code of 629 is now in effect in the Mt. Juliet area.
Residents will now have to dial 10 digits when dialing, the area code plus the telephone number, even for local calls. For right now, calls that are just dialed with seven digits will be completed, but on Feb. 28, 2015, it will be mandatory to use 10 digits.
The 629 area code is known as an Area Code Overlay. The Tennessee Regulatory Authority approved the new area code when it found that the 615 area code was running out of numbers. Customers will not have to change their own phone number, they will just have to dial the 10 digits when dialing out. 911, 211, 311, 411, 511, 611, 711 and 811 will remain the same. Security systems could also be affected by the new dialing procedures, so check your provider.
The new area code will go in effect in communities throughout the existing 615 area code. New 629 area code numbers will start being assigned on March 28, 2015.

As most of us were settling into the new year, the Green River Pirates celebrated the first week of January by hosting the Altamont Longhorns for a night on the hardwood in a nonregion home game. The 4-5 Pirates needed a win against the 5-3 Longhorns to right their ship and set them on a winning course for the rest of the season. It took some doing but in the end the Pirates played a great game and came out the victors. After the game, Coach Hughes said that they were out played by the Longhorns but his team never gave up and battled to the end despite the fact that neither team shot well from the free throw line. The Pirates could have avoided a close game by making more than 7 out of 16 from the charity stripe but the same is true of the Longhorns who faired worse by shooting only 6 out of 17.
The Pirates balanced scoring was led by TJ Hughes (12) followed by Jon Mendez (11), Nick Corrigan (10), Adrian Escalante (9) and Chance Pfander (8) and rounded out by Spencer Marshall (4).
After their close home win, the Green River Pirates joined with the lady Pirates and traveled to the big city to take on the Intermountain Christian School Lions. The ladies took to the court first jumping out to an 18-14 first quarter lead followed by a 14-4 second advantage and the lady Pirates never looked back finishing off the lady Lions by a score of 60-36. The lady Pirates only shot 50 percent from the free throw line but Feleisha Antillon used the occasion to record a career high 21 points off of 5 long balls. Jamie Johnson dropped in 13 points by working the inside. Taylor Johnson and Michaela Hughes pulled down 14 and 10 rebounds respectively.
The boys found the cramped gym a bit more challenging to begin with and the tempo escalated as Pirates and the Lions fought for each possession. The Pirates took a 7 point lead, adding to it a 12-5 third quarter advantage and they ended up the victors with a score of 51-39. The Pirates shot poorly from the line making 5 of 11. Six different players knocked down 3-pointers and Hughes dropped down 16 points followed by Marshall with 12.

The games keep getting bigger for the Harrisburg High School football team, but the performance and results continue to stay the same.
The Bulldogs, once again, relied on a dominating defensive performance and tore up Taylor Field on the ground with a brutalizing rushing attack as they knocked off Columbia 14-7 Saturday during the IHSA Class 4A football playoffs.
The win puts Harrisburg into the quarterfinals for the first time since 2000, the same season the Bulldogs played for the state title.
Next up for Harrisburg will be another home game - Saturday - against Alton-Marquette, who knocked off Olney East Richland 56-28.
As excited as Harrisburg head coach Jason Roper is about moving on to the third round of the playoffs, he showed his smile in talking about his Bulldogs' victory against Columbia.
"I'm so proud of these guys right now," Roper said. "Those seniors, what can you say, they have been with us and with this program for a long time. I thought they played great. We faced some adversity and Columbia is a great team and has a lot of speed. They're well coached, but I'm just proud of our guys for being able to win another playoff game and another game here at home."
Harrisburg built a quick 14-0 lead in the first half, scoring first on a Dylan Hathaway three-yard plunge on fourth-and-one after Brandon Pate picked off Eagles' quarterback Logan Santanello and returned it to the 10-yard line.
In the second quarter, Hathaway again found the end zone, this time from one-yard out with 5:05 to play.
In the second half, the winds of change blew in favor of Columbia as they were able to block Ryne Roper's punt attempt on Harrisburg's second possession of the half and fall on the football around the 15-yard line.
From there, Santanello hooked up with Eric Read on a 15-yard pass en route to the end zone with 2:26 to play, cutting the Eagle deficit in half.
On more than one occasion however, the Harrisburg defense rose to the challenge.
Still clinging to a one-score lead and with Columbia threatening midway through the fourth quarter, Capel Henshaw came up with a much needed fumble.
The drive stalled however, when Harrisburg went three-and-out, giving the ball back to Columbia.
The Eagles couldn't do anything with their drive and punted away at the 6 minute mark, where Harrisburg went to work.
Starting at the Columbia five-yard line and needing four first downs, Harrisburg got just what they needed, including a big push from the Bulldog offensive line for Hathaway on a fourth-and-four situation with just over a minute to play to ultimately sealed the deal for the 'Dogs.
Page 2 of 3 - "We talked a lot about it all week and when you play big games like this, things are going to happen where adversity turns," Roper said. "They had the momentum there for a while after the blocked the punt, but our kids were able to come right back and play fantastic. There at the end, getting the first downs when we needed too and icing the game and running some clock was tremendous."
Statistically, Harrisburg ran 58 plays for 250 yards, while the Eagles rushed 24 times for 55 yards and got about 107 in the air.
Of the 16 first downs Harrisburg got Saturday, 13 of them came via the rush. Hathaway finished with 157 yards on 38 carries, while Justin Younger gave Harrisburg a lot of life through the air, catching two of Roper's passes for 57 yards.
There was a time in the second half when Roper admitted that he abandoned his running back Hathaway, but in the closing minutes made it very clear he wasn't going to make the same mistake twice.
"I quit running him," Roper said. "I tried to do some different things and it back fired on us. I told Dylan, 'hey, if I have to run you every time, I'm going to.' I think he took that as a challenge, stepped up and did a nice job of finishing."
Roper, who hadn't won a playoff game in his seven years as head coach has now won two straight. He knows that from this point on, every game is a one-game-at-a-time situation.
"We're very blessed to still be playing and I think our kids understand that. We have some seniors who show some great leadership and have been with this program for a long time. It's great for our community to have home playoff games like this and I think our community has really rallied around our kids. They're a great bunch of kids and I'm really proud of them."

Win one without the Kipper (maybe?)
Kent Wilson
February 03 2009 03:10PM
While I concluded below that the Flames should be in line for an improved road record going forward, there's absolutely no guarantees that the turn-around will begin this evening in Dallas.
Working against the Flames is the dreaded "road game less than 24 hours after the previous road game". Calgary has suffered some of their worst losses of the year on the second night of a back-to-back this season (6-2 in Chicago, 6-2 in Colorado), so history isn't exactly on our side here.
In addition, the Dallas Stars aren't nearly as bad as they were at the start of the season. Since expelling the cancerous Avery in December, the Stars are a respectable 15-7-3, including a recent 5 and 1 stretch in which they've outscored the opposition 21-14.
Dallas won the last game between the two teams back on Dec. 2, 3-1 - but it pretty much entirely on the back of good goaltending and good fortune. I went to that game and the Flames probably out-chanced the Stars 3 to 1. Dallas happened to bury most of their chances while the Flames shot wide, hit pads, missed nets, etc. Shots were 37-23 in Calgary's favor by the end of that contest and the corsi rates were even more lop-sided.
The Star I'm going to watch tonight is Jere Lehtinen. The former Selke winner's return from injury may be one of the reasons for Dallas' post-november turn-around. Since returning, Lehtinen has face tough competition and put up some of the best underlying stats on the club. I'll expect to see him shadowing Iginla (who was stellar yesterday) all night so that Ribeiro and/or Richards can face the lesser lights.
The only real question for the Flames heading into tonight is - Kipper or CuMac. The bearded Fin had a rough go last night, facing 42 shots. On the other hand, Mike Keenan hates and distrusts back-up goalies so much, psychiatrists will soon be fabricating a whole new pathology (Backupophobia?), so the chances are Kiprusoff will be playing again. Which is too bad, in a way: the Flames don't really have any idea of what kind of goalie that have in MceLhinney yet.
This talk of scrambling for another 'tender for the play-off run is born more of fear of the unknown than an acknowledgment of the CuMac's deficiencies. The former AHL all-star has played in just five games this season (several in less than favorable conditions) and the team has played lousy in front him pretty much every time. Five games is a minute sample to evaluate any goalie, but 5 games behind a under performing team in unfriendly surroundings is going to tell you even less. It would be nice to determine the kids actual baseline performance before spending money and/or assets on another vet at the deadline is I guess what Im saying...
Anyways, here's hoping for a better effort than last night and a MceLhinney win, should Keenan improbably give Kipper a rare night off.

At the end of the night in a crazy-craaazy club in Manhattan's Lower East Side called Mehanata, we peered over the bar to notice that one of the bartenders was wearing a pair of loose-fit Zara jeans with a grey waistband, front-button detail, and a cute cuffed hem. She's gotta move like the wind pouring drinks for impatient nutjobs all night, and we imagine that's not hard to do when you're wearing comfy denim like this, paired with some kicks! Check out her style in these snapshots below.

With the holiday season well under way, you can find a great deal of information on the web about ways to manage the season when you have a loved one with dementia, including on this site.
The truth though is that many of us enter the holiday season with a mixed bag of memories and emotions. Rituals, familiar food and smells, songs and decorations all stimulate memories of people and holidays past. The season may loom particularly heavy for those who have a loved one with Alzheimer's.
It's common to experience feelings of loss for "the way things used to be," or to have a sense of guilt about what we think we should do, or how we think we should feel. If you followed my blog last year at this time, you may recall the themes I advocate most during the holidays: First, adjust your expectations, and second keep it simple. I want to add one more this year — take good care of yourself.
From now until the end of the year, consider making a plan to take at least 15 minutes a day to turn your attention inward and focus your mind on the present moment — easier said than done I know. Yet, studies have shown that meditation or mindfulness can be helpful in stopping ruminations over things that cause stress (such as caregiving for someone with a dementing illness and/or the holidays). A meditation practice helps people keep from dwelling on negative thoughts, gives you a mental break and a way to gain perspective and a greater sense of contentment.
Set aside 15 minutes when you are least likely to be interrupted. You may simply sit on the floor or in a comfortable chair with your eyes closed and focus on your breath (noting the sounds, temperature and rhythm) or listen to calming music. You could take a bath in a candlelit room or take a walk outdoors — anything to settle the mind from thoughts of the past and future. I heard someone once refer to meditation for caregivers as "refueling your caring center."
Please share your thoughts. Peaceful holidays to all.

I am sorry for the anger you feel. I have been there, and felt the emotions, but never acted on them. Luckily my mom is in a wonderful facility and I can walk away when overwhelmed. Ask friends or relatives to give you a small break (if possible). Prayer helps me too. Please reach out for help. I have taken many classes at our local Office for the Aging. There is no shame in asking for help! Bless you my heart is with you!
My father is 90 and has dementia. He has lived with me and husband for several years. Familiar music is soothing to people with dementia. My father likes to listen to classic country music and old gospel songs on TV, and he often hums or tries to sing along. Surprisingly he doesn't know how old he is, etc., but he still knows parts of some of the old songs. I get the RFD TV channel for him because it often has old-time music shows, especially on the weekend evenings. If the music's not on when we need it to be, I record it for listening later. But this time of year, he especially likes to listen (and try to sing or hum along with) Christmas carols. Merry Christmas. Pat C.
For everyone taking care of a loved one with Alzheimer's I wish you a very merry Christmas. Breathe and be happy with the moments that you did get to share with your loved one I loved my husband we had a wonderful marriage unfortunately the age of 50 he came down with Alzheimer's. 12 years later he's still with us still living at home nonverbal but I keep being positive joyful and thank goodness that we have had such great memories remember being positive also means your children will be positive.
Interesting to see how this article is 6 years old.
Tried this and opened my eyes to find my husband nearly naked, soaked and complaining that I had left him alone. Actually he was in same room as me and was very quiet. Guess I can't do this anymore.
I like your meditation comment as caregiving & it is the same thing as me saying my prayers for my husband & everyone that I love & I feel good until the next moment or hour. This is quite new to me about 3 mos but if I'm honest I now think I was always a little bit worried as each & everyone of his family ended up with alsheimers. My husband is 86 & I am 73.
What I would like to ask you is did you feel so guilty for being angry & still thinking that your loved one would pull out of it? Because some days my husband has so much clarity that I (of course) believe that he is the same. I was going to turn myself into my Doctor (and still might) for being so mean & not being able to control my temper, I am just so ashamed as that has never been my personality & I resent that any human being can bring me to my knees. What would you. Also I have to go back for more tests after thinking after 3 yrs that I might be cancer free. I went through the whole ninee yards chemo & radiation & being bald, then getting my hair back - but my doctor at Fraser Valley Cancer Clinic wants me to go for another CT scan on Jan 13/17 & I know already that I will never go through chemo & radiation again as I'm 73 & basically have lived a good life.
Any suggestions on how to curb my temper? Because it seems that I'm having one big pity party for me & that is not fair.
This year it was buying presents for the family that caused problems. Wanting to purchase the same gifts again and again from catalogues became almost an obsession. "It's what we did last year," was the often repeated and mistaken message since mid-October, even after the proposed gifts had arrived and were in the cupboard.
Special holiday foods and a massive party were also disruptive issues in our seniors residence. Formerly an excellent cook but no longer with either the ability or equipment to do what once was normal also distressed Helen nearly two years after diagnosis.
We are looking forward to quiet dinner with our daughter and family sometime during the holiday. Sadly the residence diet is excellent but not to her simpler tastes.
Thanks for counsel to take care of ourselves.
I play gin rummy on my ipad for 1/2 hour in the afternoon lying in bed with my comforting heating pad!!
I just wish that during the holidays friends and relatives would take into consideration the inability to travel, to have too many guests, to shop, disrupt routines make it impossible to enjoy the season. We made a conscious decision not to travel with mom on thanksgiving, instead having a quiet dinner at home. It was so peaceful. Not fighting traffic. Not having to lose sleep having her in unfamiliar surroundings. I recommend it. Less is definitely more when caregiving during the holidays. Peace at all costs.
One way to take care of yourself during the Holidays and every day is to have no expectations. If something good happens, enjoy it in the moment. If something less than happy occurs, endure it in the moment. If I have expectations, I am usually disappointed--this I do not need and is no way to take of oneself!
I wish that some people would respond to some of the posts, otherwise it feels like I am writing into thin air. Granted, as the blogger stated, writing, in and of itself is therapeutic and helpful. This I know. How am I doing, better than I expected, and actually because I lowered my expectations lately, I am finding life somewhat easier, especially around the holiday time. For example, I no longer get upset when my uncle wishes me a merry christmas, especially when we do not celebrate that holiday as we are jewish. But I know that he loves the holiday spirit, especially seeing the trees, decorations etc. SO, I now take it as he says it and acknowledges his feelings. I wished him happy chanuakah so he knows that chanukah is our holiday. But when he talks about christmas -- i don't dispute with him, i do not say to him, ... we do not celebrate xmas, i merely say happy holidays etc.
so this has helped me as i do not engage him in a discussion that might upset him. it is still hard for me but i do not have those bad feelings as much as i used to. Overall., he is happy . i miss the way he used to be, but am learning to accept him for who he is now.
I'd love to hear how everyone made it through the holidays...any new advice? It's so stressful, but in a way, it's good to have it over.
My mother, Mary has ALZ. I have been taking care of her for 7 hrs. It has been a long and difficult road. I just recently put her in assisted living. She has adjusted fine and it seems to be a very good place. I know this because of how she acts. They also listen to me and follow through. In the process of taking care of her and a full time job, my health took a dive. I am only 51 and have severe diverticulus. I am glad I got more so I could take of myself too. Please remember to pay attention to yourself too or you end up paying for it like me. Who did not listen to her body's health signals. It was all about taking care of mom.
I too take care of my mother who has stage 5 alzheimers. She's been living with my husband and I for 2 years. My father passed away 2 years ago in Oct. He ask me to take care of her and I have been. The problem is that my patience runs thin alot, she's in complete denial to anything we say and there's no getting thru to her. In the beginning, things went well, but as time goes by, she seems to get worse. Our dr. says I should have already put her in a nursing home, but I've tried my best to keep her here. I do have a sister and she can't and won't help. I also have a brother, but he lives with someone else and no job. I'm considering starting the paperwork come the first of the year to get her qualified for Medicaid. I know once I start this, I can't go back. I have my own health issues, including bladder cancer and MS and I know from past experience, if I don't slow down, I will be so run down, I won't be no help to anyone. I need a major break from it all, try and get my life back to normal if there's such a thing. I do get out of the house at times, but that's not enough for me. I love my mother and always will and I want what's best for her and me.
I live alone, having been divorced for quite a while. I have an uncle age 90 who has dementia, and seems to have lost his long term as well as short term memory. He lives at home and has a homecare worker for most of the day, but he stays by himself at night. I live in same apt bldg as he does and check in on him often, and manage some financial and medical issues. He and I were pretty close when he was younger and I miss that closeness. COnversations are so simple and non substantial that it is very frustrating for me. HE does not do much during the day, but eat, look forward to trips outside in his wheelchair as his homecare worker takes him out. WHen we visit with one another, he either doses off or sits an hardly says anything while the homecare worker yaks away about some various stuff that does not even relate to him at all. Yet, she is so good with him. I try to redirect her and or involve him in some kind of conversation but he does not show any interest. He sometimes says to me -- what is there to talk about. Even showing pictures of present or past do not interest him and he merely sits and watches tv even while eating -- it is a habit and it would bother him to turn tv off. Even when I turn off tv in order to try to have a conversation, he does not engage himself. and doses off. Especially during the holiday season, I feel so alone. I do not have many friends. and not any other family members who show any interest in me or uncle. What do I do other than meditate?
Having lost my husband of 23 years to prostate cancer (a 15 year battle) in mid-September I'm REALLY struggling with the holiday season upon us... Having lost my Father 7 years ago to prostate cancer at Christmas time I've learned to force myself 'to celebrate' - I've got a two foot artificial tree with lights and ornaments to commemorate the two of them on my coffee table (stratigically placed opposite "my" chair) - CD's on the stereo that I find comforting and I think I'm doing a great job of 'getting through' the season thus far... Be kind to yourself, focus on getting through one day (sometimes, one hour) at a time and I think we'll survive... Our loved ones would be very upset to think that their passing could or would affect our 'celebration' of the seasons, therefore even tho we're STILL taking care of them by 'celebrating' - we're taking care of ourselves in the same time... God Bless - and make the most of a Very Merry Christmas and a HEALTHY Happy New Year !!!
Phillip... I understand what you are going through. My husband started 12 years ago. He was first diagnosed with Alzheimers but it didn't quite fit the symptoms, it was changed two years later to FTD. He is in a daycare during the day. It's a difficult situation but you have to take some time for yourself. It's vital for you to be able to continue to cope with everything.
For Rosemary.... Get him out of that place asap...bring him back home and find a good caregiver...good luck
My husband has pneumonia from being on the floor awhile falling off the toilet in a Memory Unit. I am more stressed than ever trying to get the care I was giving to take place there. A bad situation for both of us. Help.
I care for my sister with early stage Alzheimer's. She is an adult with Down's Syndrome and now this. She started Aricept about a year ago. Sometimes she is better than others, but compounded with the Down's it is very hard to get a good read on symptoms with her. If there is anything to educate myself on sypmtoms at different stages, I would be grateful to know where to find material. I am told that 100% of people with Down's Syndrome get Alzheimer's, so I was hoping there was something out there to guide me. I feel like I am "Fishin' in the Dark," like that old song. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Sharon I know what you are feeling. I lost my mom the 26th of Sept.2010 and my dad is in the early stages. I don't know if I can get thru this Christmas.
my wife, 63 years old, has frontolobe dementia, diagnosed 5 years ago, symptoms started about 9 years ago. She attends an adult day care M-F, 8:30-5:00, each week. this facility saved me. I do not find or take time to meditate or even relax. Much help from our church family. There is no way to prepare youself for caregiving for a person with early dementia. The docs and psychologist treated her for depression for 5 years, before an accurate diagnosis... No long term care insurance now available. Many helpful friends, but still feel alone.
For Earnest and Richard...please try and enlist the help of a good caregiver...it will be less stressful;.............
Richard: I have the feeling that I am starting down that same path. My heart goes out to you. Dependency is terribly hard on the one that is depended upon.
I will pray for your strength as well as my own.
myself and my caregiver no 2 have been taking care of a wonderful lady with Alzheimers for the last 2 years, and she is doing so well...she lives in her own home...best place for her, take good care of her..we even take her dancing...and prepare her good nutritious food...it is fortunate that the family can afford to keep it going...in my experiences if the person is taken care of in their own home they do much better............in a facility you are in a secure unit and do not get a chance to get out everyday and enjoy whats left of life for her..We live in Gulfport Florida .we love our work........and will continue to care for our Rosemary.... until her last days

My Aunt who has early stages Alzheimers has been in an assisted living facility for just over a year now and still thinks she has been there just 2 days. I think the holidays are actually a better time for folks living there as they seem to have more fun things going on such as X-Mas light tours, tree trimming etc. It's taken about a year for me and my family to adjust to it all even with her being in what we think is the best place we could find. I try not to think about her getting worse, but instead focus on the here and now for my own sanity. Merry Christmas and God Bless all of you in this same situation.
good advice for everyone
Sharon, I, too, lost my mom after 5 yrs of taking care of her. My heart goes out to you as there is always something that triggers the pain of the loss. I now have the care of my husband who has dementia/wears Depends but still wants to drive the car. My work is cut out for me and I must move on emotionally as my husband is needing every bit of my energy and understanding for this final stage of his life. Mom's care was my warm-up. You will survive and you will be stronger!
I am having a particularly difficult time this year. I have made the decision, in consultation with my wife's gerontologist, that it is time to place her in a assisted living facility. I find that I am very angry, i suppose it is because I am forced into this situation over which I have no control. I am very tired, emotionally drained and know this is necessary but I don't know how my wife is going to react. She is so very attached to me and not necessarily in a healthy way, but I dread what I must do.
Sharon, My heart goes out to you. I lost my mom in 2008 and it is so hard. I now take care of my father who has Alzheimer's and he doesn't understand why she's not around. I have to tell him everytime he asks 'Have you seen mom?' that she is gone so it's like losing her over and over for him.
Lean on God...he will carry you through.
I pray that he make his presence known for you and brings you peace and comfort during this Christmas season.
To Kirsten, try making it his idea to get cleaned up, help him by laying all his cleaning stuff out with clean clothes and cut the water on the shower. When he protest, just say your the one who wanted to do this. Taking a bath seems to be a big deal, they don't realize how long its been or how bad they need one. I try to remember that my mom can only see whats wrong with her in her mind, getting her to the problems at hand have to be tricked. Try not to make it a big deal. Its ok I do this all the time. Or thats what I'm here for. everything we do is your idea. Your the boss.
Does anyone have a suggestion to help someone with mid- stage alzheimers to use the bathroom? He wears a depends, but does not understand when he has a bm or has soaked through his depends. He will not let anyone help him change and puts up much resistance. He does not even understand that he has soild himself. Any tips would be so appreciated!!

Sharon, my heart goes out to you. I share your feelings of loss.. my Mom and Dad are both gone.. I miss them very much.
May you get through the season with support and care from friends and family.
I would give anything to have my caregiving days back. lost my mother in Feb 2010. she had Leukemia for 7 years. First Holidays without her. Just trying to get through them. we lived together for 15 years. Huge loss and huge whole in my heart. Can't listen to Christmas music very well so I try to avoid it. I was very stressed in the end but I would do it all over for my sweet mother.

Secondly, my experience is that 99% of native English speakers are absolutely clueless when it comes to phonetics. Nothing against any of you, it's just how how fucked up - albeit beautiful in it's Oxford version - your language is. Yes, that's a fact. But you may blame the French for that.
Like Zero has already explained they don't say "vizards", that's just how your English wired brain interpreted what they said. They said "ヴァイザード" (see manga raw ch 185). It was written in kanji (with the meaning "masked soldier") with the katakana (ヴァイザード) next to it. If I write ヴァイザード in roumaji you get "vaizaado". The fact that it was written in katakana means that it's a foreing loan word, and the vast majority of loan words in Japanese are English. And "vaizaado" is how Japanese wired brains interpret the English word "visored", and that English word only.
Oh and it's Visored, not Vizored or Vizord.
There. Now I've said it, once and for all. I had to get it off my chest.

So comfortable, you'll never take them off!
"From the moment I put these boots on I haven't taken them off! I wore them to work the 1st day I got these (8 straight hours walking and on my feet!) and they felt like I'd had them forever! Perfectly broken in and super cute looking.I normally wear a size 6.5, but got these in 6 having previously tried them on at the store and found that they run a bit big. The 6 feels more like a 6.5-7, but then again they might fit perfectly with thick socks, especially if you're somewhere cold.I've worn them with skinny jeans and shorts and they look great with everything.The only thing I would be careful of is the traction, meaning there is none, so careful where you step!"

Versatile, stylish, and comfy too!
"I ordered this boot in the dark brown. The are made of a nice quality leather, are very comfortable, and fit true to size. I like that I can wear them with the zipper up or down. They pair well with skirts and tights or over jeans. They are my new favorite go-to pair of boots. And they have weathered the rain nicely too! I expect to have them in my rotation for a long time."
