Joe Mande has an odd encounter in a New York bodega, and Jamie Lee doesn't enjoy being approached by overconfident guys at bars.
for the first time.
And it's a beautifulcountry.
Amazing beaches,fantastic weather,
Everything you needin a land.
The only problem is that,as a British person,
you are forced to confrontthe idiocy of your ancestors.
Because you might notbe aware,
but Australia was a Britishprison colony.
It's where we sentour criminals.
Think through the logicof what I'm telling you.
We sent our criminalsto somewhere
that was nicerthan where we lived.
When clearly what we should havedone is built huge fences
around Britain and said,"You all stay here.
We're leaving."
Just imagine how confused thatfirst convict must have been
as he stepped offthat prison ship
onto the beautifulsandy beach,
looked up at the glorioussunshine,
saw a [BLEEP] koala,
and thought,"This must be a joke.
We are all going to getshot in the head right now."
Because if this is real,
no one is this[BLEEP] stupid.
As a criminal, I've just learnedthe opposite of my lesson.
I will say thisabout Australia.
It is the most comfortablyracist country
I've ever been to.
Not the most racist,New York. Relax.
Not that.
Not the most racist country,
just the most comfortablein their racism.
They've really settledinto their bigotry
like an old,suspicious slipper.
Because everywhere I wentin Australia
I started to hearthe same thing.
Just people saying,
"You know what we got a problemwith here, John?
"Bloody lebbos.
"Bloody lebbos everywherehere, John.
"Coming over here,these lebbos.
"Bringing their lebbo familiesover here.
"We got a huge lebbo problem,John.
"Lebbos here, lebbos there,
we got lebboseverywhere."
And eventually I had to say,"I'm going to have to stop you.
"At the risk of seeminglike a fool,
what is a lebbo?"
And they said,"Are you kidding me?
Bloody Lebanese."
Who the [BLEEP] has a problemwith Lebanese people?
That is almostimpressively specific.
That's like saying,You know who I can't stand?
Sri Lankans.
Malaysians,lovely people.
Bangladeshis, the best.
Sri Lankans, [BLEEP] them.They know what they've done.
That is so specific.
I don't actually thinkit's racism anymore.
It's just a flawedargument.
Also, how manyLebanese people
can there be in Australia
to necessitate there beinga perceived problem?
There are only 4 millionLebanese people
in [BLEEP] Lebanon.
New York,it's great to be here.
It's lovely to standin front of a neon swastika.
That's pretty cool.
Very comforting.
Uh, it is greatto be back.
I used to live in New Yorkfor years.
And, uh, I had to moveto L.A. last year.
And I-- I miss New Yorkvery much.
Uh, I was thinkingabout it recently
and I realizedthe thing I miss most
about livingin New York City
are the bodegas.
A lot of people don't knowwhat bodegas are.
Oh, well, they're onevery corner in New York City.
Uh, they're a lot likea convenience store,
like a 24-hour 7/11,
but, uh, much smallerand filthy.
And all they sellare, like, plantains...
Jesus candles.You know?
You know,the essentials.
But they are convenient.They're open all night.
One time I went intomy neighborhood bodega
It was, like,3:00 in the morning.
I was very drunk or high,it doesn't matter.
All you need to knowis if my mom saw me,
she would be very sadand disappointed in me.
It's 3:00 in the morning.Very drunk and high.
Walked over, grabbed a bagof Goya-brand potato chips,
or whatever they sell there.
And I start walkingtowards the cash register.
I made, like, three steps,
and then out of nowhere,uh, I suddenly heard
the worst noiseI'd ever heard in my life.
It was just this awfulhigh-pitch screeching sound.
I thought it was, like,an alarm or something.
And I startedlooking around
to see if I could turnthe alarm off.
And eventuallyI glanced down,
and that's when I noticed
I was standingon a cat.
So I lift my leg up,the cat ran away,
and I was like,"I'm sorry, bodega cat."
Then, uh, you know,I started looking around
to see if anyone heard the noiseover the reggae tone blasting
on the radio.
Then I look at the counter,
and the store owneris glaring at me.
He saw the whole thing,and he was furious.
As he should be.
I was standing on his catfor so long.
I was like, Señor, question.Ooh, pregunta.
Una. Una pregunta.
Um, por qué gato...
Why the [BLEEP] do you havea gato running around...
your trabajo?
But I live in L.A. now.
I was in a parking lot
in Glendale, California,last weekend.
You know,just hanging out.
And this old womancame up to me
holding one of those, uh,disposable cameras.
And she was like,"Excuse me, sir?
Can you tell me where I can getthis film developed?"
And I was like,"I don't know. The past?"
That, like, if you met a person20 years ago
who developedtheir photographs
the way people maintainan Instagram account today,
like, that person would goto a mental hospital.
You know, like,if you met a girl in 1993
and she brought you backto her place,
and she was like,Can I show you some photographs?
And you're like,Uh, yeah, sure. Go nuts.
And she was like, Okay.
And she pulls up, like,15 photo albums.
Lines them up on a table.
And she's just like,Okay, here we go.
That's my face. That's my face.That's my face. That's my face.
That's my face. That's my face.That's my face.
That's my face. That's my face.That's my face. That's my face.
That's my face. That's my face.That's my face.
That's my face. That's my-- Ooh.That's my cat. That's my cat.
That's my cat. That's my cat.That's my cat. That's my cat.
That's my cat. That's my cat.That's my cat.
That's my cat.That's my brunch.
Brunch. Brunch. Brunch. Brunch.Brunch. Brunch. Brunch.
Brunch. Brunch. Face. Face.Face. Face. Face. Face. Face.
Cat. Cat. Cat. Cat.Nails. Nails. Nails. Nails.
Exactly. Exactly.
You'd be like,
Cool, nice meeting you.
And then you'd go runand page 911,
or whatever people did20 years ago.
Anybody? Okay, okay.
I mean, I-- I don't meanto judge you guys
but, uh, I only drinkwhen it's a special occasion.
You know, like whenit's someone's birthday
on Facebook.
But, um...
Thanks. I keep itvery classy.
I really am likea huge lightweight.
Like, I can't drink a lot.I cannot.
Because, like,if I have one drink,
I swear I'll just do somethingsuper klutzy,
like stub my toe.
The camel one.
And, uh, it's just notworth the risk, you know?
But I feel likeat every bar
there's always, like,that one overconfident guy
who has to, like,swoop in and try to talk to you.
He's always, like,70 years old.
And he has, like, one of those,like, long, cascading, gray,
sex commune ponytails.
And, like, a bolo tieand a lazy eye.
And he's like, "Oh, hey,little lady. What's your sign?"
And you're like, "Yield."
And, uh...
He just keeps going.
He's like,"Oh, cool. I'm a cancer."
I'm like, I know.
Everyone knowsyou are a cancer.
You are a social melanoma.
Go away.
congresswomanwho was shot.
That was horrible.
But there was a good partof that we didn't focus on
as a country long enough.
The first personwho was key in saving her life
was a dude namedDaniel Hernandez, Jr.
That dude was the key personin saving her life.
Daniel Hernandez, Jr.is a gay Latino.
And for two weeks,Americans all over the country
had to be happy about that,
even though America hatesgays and Latinos.
Do you understand? But they hadto be happy about it,
because he saveda white woman.
As we know, that's America'smost precious resource.
You know what I'm saying?
So for two weeksAmerica was like, Yeah!
A gay Latinosaved a white lady.
That's so great.
A gay Latinosaved a white lady.
As soon as I heard thatI was like,
Please be a Muslim.Please be a Muslim. Please.
Yay, a gay Latino Muslimsaved a white lady.
Yay! What's that?Supports ObamaCare?
Oh, God, it's so good.

Runs a little wide
"I read the 1 review this shoe had as they said it ran narrow so I took a chance. I usually wear a 6 to 6.5 (i sometimes have to go bigger with my wide feet) and I ordered the 6.5 and they seem a little big or loose around the strap. Really cute shoe, I'm just concerned with them stretching and them being too loose to wear later.I've only wore them a couple of times and have no complaints about the comfort."

Looks great you defently have a talent
Anyone who is looking to have professional video work done to help promote their haunt this year, I'd love to talk with you. You can see samples of my work at www.youtube.com/joshhastyfilms. I also have some commercial work I've recently directed for American Cancer Society and Acuvue Contacts, which will be on my official web site sometime this week. I'm currently in post production with The Myers House N.C. (www.myershousenc.com) for the first ever official video for Sheri Moon Zombie's clothing line, "Total Skull" and will be launching it everywhere this fall. For now you can see the music videos and trailers for films I've done on my page. I can send you the other work and my resume if you're seriously interested. I've already hooked up with one local haunt and am hoping to be able to get going immediately so I can post what I've done for them. I live in Cincinnati and am able to travel. Anyone interested, please let me know! Call or email at contact[at]joshhasty.com Thanks!

Boyfriend said these were the best bday gift ever!
"My boyfriend had been looking for a pair of sandals to wear to casual parties and the beach. These sandals are great because the strap is leather and nonirritating, as some cloth straps can be. The part of the sandal that rests on your foot is a fleecy-feeling material and feels really nice. He also loved that the sole was rubber as opposed to leather because when they get wet, they'll dry quicker and won't smell bad. The ridge pattern on the footbed is also comfy and massages the feet while walking. He looks great in them and he's comfy."

The Republic of China today consists of the island of Taiwan, an island 100 mi (161 km) off the Asian mainland in the Pacific; two off-shore islands, Kinmen (Quemoy) and Matsu; and the nearby islets of the Pescadores chain. It is slightly larger than the combined areas of Massachusetts and Connecticut.
Multiparty democracy.
Taiwan was inhabited by aborigines of Malayan descent when Chinese from the areas now designated as Fukien and Kwangtung began settling it in the 7th century, becoming the majority. The Portuguese explored the area in 1590, naming it "the Beautiful" (Formosa). In 1624 the Dutch set up forts in the south, the Spanish in the north. The Dutch forced out the Spanish in 1641 and controlled the island until 1661, when Chinese general Koxinga took it over and established an independent kingdom. The Manchus seized the island in 1683 and held it until 1895, when it passed to Japan after the first Sino-Japanese War. Japan developed and exploited Formosa. It was the target of heavy American bombing during World War II, and at the close of the war the island was restored to China.
After the defeat of its armies on the mainland, the Nationalist government of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek retreated to Taiwan in Dec. 1949. Chiang dominated the island, even though only 15% of the population consisted of the 1949 immigrants, the Kuomintang. He maintained a 600,000-man army in the hope of eventually recovering the mainland. Beijing viewed the Taiwanese government with suspicion and anger, referring to Taiwan as a breakaway province of China.
The UN seat representing all of China was held by the Nationalists for over two decades before being lost in Oct. 1971, when the People's Republic of China was admitted and Taiwan was forced to abdicate its seat to Beijing.

|In response to Re: Ceramic shower pan Repair
: : Have a 15year old shower (second floor). While replacing door found the wall board behind tile wet and falling apart. This is above the mud pan up a few feet. Mud pan does not appear to be leaking. Should I redo the complete shower or could I try to repair just the walls (if I can find matching tile). Shower work is new to me.
: Bob, Depending on the quality of work the pan could stay, I would tear out all the interier walls and install durorock or wonder board (a cement board). Then retile shower. If you like your home thats what i would do. Just my opinion. Dale's Plumbing Service LMP

I love my absolute unique house. It is 150 m2 and has 3 floors, 2 outside terraces, and superb views over open water all around. At only 10 minutes from the city center you can barbeque at sunset and see all kinds of sailing ships float by. The modern house is built on stilts above the water and is connected to the dike with a castle bridge. I have installed a perfectly functioning wood burning stove which is a pleasure to use. It is built in a much visited architectural concept of floating on the water houses. IJburg is Amsterdam's newest Neighborhood and contains many innovative architectural features that will attract your attention, in walking distance you find Amsterdam's biggest warehouse filled with Dutch Design.
First floor: The house has a very open concept. You enter on the first floor which (email hidden) island where you can dine with your family and friends. There is also a large dining table with 6 chairs. As you can see on the pictures the windows are from ceiling to floor 3 meter in height, so lots of natural light comes flooding in. You can open the doors to let in the air and enjoy feeding the ducks which come floating to the house while you are having breakfast. There is an outside terrace with 2 benches and a large table, a barbecue is available to enjoy dinner and beautiful sunsets. This first floor also has a small bathroom with toilet.
Second floor: contains 4 large sliding doors that can create either one big open space or 2 bedrooms and a hallway. Also the modern Bathroom with bath and shower is situated here. There are two bedrooms, the first bedroom contains a double bed which can be transformed into 2 singles. The second bedroom has the same double bed that can be transformed into 2 singles and and an extra high quality 2 person Futon, so 4 persons can sleep here. As my house has 3 floors its easy to take for example the Futon to the 3rd top floor, which creates than a third bedroom. Also the couch in the upstairs living room contains a couch with sleeping quality springs, so It can be used as bed for one person.
Third floor: is the top floor and has amazing views of the water around the house, you can see the nearby fishing village. This floor also contains a perfectly and very romantic wood burning stove, there is always some wood available for you to use. This floor has the large couch and some pillows and sheep skins to create the perfect relaxing atmosphere. This living room also has an large 20m2 outside terrace. Here I have a large 6 person lounge to relax. The terrace is perfect to enjoy some sunshine and take in the views of the floating community.
The house has all natural oakwood floors, and of course all modem amenities are available, WIFI, DVD player with lots of dvd's, flat screen TV with multiple language channels, wifi printer, stereo with CD player + cd's, reading books.
Unique is ofcourse that you can have this kind of house and water setting only a few minutes from the City Center. From my front door you walk 100 meters to the tram which arrives every 5 minutes from 6.30 till 00.30. The tram takes you in exactly 11 minutes to the heart of the City (Central Station/Dam Square) and from here you can walk towards our most famous attractions like the museum square or the red light district. After midnight you can take the nightbus system which drives every hour, but a taxi from any point in the center to my house is 25 euro.
There is no Parking space available with the house, but paid parking is around the corner and the P&R parking is also very near and cheap.
I like to welcome my guests myself to hand over the key's and explain the details of the house, answer some questions and give some advice if wanted. In the house are maps and information available which show you some insider tips the highlights of Amsterdam. I have good written information on restaurants, bars, festivals, museums, places to go which are for must visitors just below the radar. Nearby is the City Beach Blijburg, ideal for swimming and lounging (restaurant and bar), campfire at night and good Jazz performances.
Domovní řádPlease send an email with details of your intended stay before making a last minute booking. Please treat the house as you would your own home.
Be respectful of the neighbours. Smoking is permitted only on the balcony.
Extra guests are not permitted.

We were a group of 6 friends in Amsterdam for a birthday. Met Frank at the house which is absolutely fantastic. The upstairs terrace was superb and the beds really comfy Frank left lots of local information which was really helpful. As a group of 6 we bought tram passes for the 5 days we were there which allowed us to travel freely around on the buses and trams. Even had a swim just outside the villa, wonderful.
We stayed here over New Year and Frank was a very welcoming host. He kept in regular contact before we stayed, answering all of our questions about taxis and supermarkets! He also made lots of suggestions of things to do in Amsterdam and some helpful tips regarding New Year opening times. When we arrived he had left a lovely bottle of cava as a welcome and had left a map with the tram routes marked on and some notes on the table for us.
The house itself is lovely, it's over 3 stories and has a lovely view of the water. It's clean, spacious and bright. The area was peaceful and was less than 10 mins into central Amsterdam on the tram which is just a few minutes from the house. There is also a convenience store a few minutes walk away.
We were a group of 6 young professionals in our late 20s/early 30s and we really enjoyed the house and the stay - would definitely recommend.
Franks house in near to the Central (City) only a few tram station from his wonderful house.
Frank is a very friendly and uncomplicated type of Men.
The Check in / out are very quickly.
I highly recommend it.
Only 12 minutes from Central Amsterdam by tram (every 5 mins to Central Station on the 26 IJBurg) but feels so different. The Dutch certainly have public transport sorted, all connected, very frequent services. We bought a 72 hour pass and it made life very straightforward.
House is spacious and warm and very easy to find. Incredibly quiet and tranquil location, after very busy days in the city. Only 4 years old and looks very modern, lots of glass . Stairs in the property are quiet steep and curved so if you had any mobility issues they may be tricky especially as the lounge is on the top floor. Views over the water are lovely.
Shops/supermarket (beware that the supermarket takes no credit cards and no Visa debit cards, only cash and Maestro) 1 tram stop further down and a good Italian restaurant (2 stops).
Frank is a very easy host and quickly responds to any questions you may have. It was a perfect base for us to explore Amsterdam and get a good night's sleep away from the noise of the city. If you want bustling nightlife etc then this area won't be for you. We were a group of ladies for a long weekend celebrating a 50th.
The house is very nice and central located. The rooms were clean and comfortable. Frank is very friendly and helpfully. We recommend this lodging.
Great house, lots of space and light.
15 min away from city center with the tram.
Very cool location, all houses built on the water.
Frank is the perfect host.
We had a great time in Franks Villa! The house is big, modern, bright, quiet and as nice as on the pictures.
It takes you only 10 minutes by tram to reach the central station of Amsterdam.
Frank gave us a warm welcome and all instructions we needed. And he provided different, very helpful maps of the greater Amsterdam area. So we had no problem to find the best way to the city by bike.
And if you have any question, you can write an email to Frank and he will come back to you in an few minutes.
The kids liked the WLAN, the tv and the dvd very much and did some fishing from the living room.
We would rent this villa any time.
Thx a lot, Frank!
We stayed at this property during four nights and everthing was great. The house is really wonderful, fully equipped, with a modern and functional design and spacious enough for us: we travelled four adults and one baby and there was more than enough room for all of us. Beds are large and very comfortable, we could rest incredibly! Besides, the place is located in a calm, beautiful neighborhood, and its connection with the center of Amsterdam is very easy thank to the tram stop less than 2 minutes away on foot. You can get to the city center in less than 20 minutes!
Additionally, Frank's welcome was warm and friendly. Even before our arrival, he gave us all the necessary directions to get to the house (very easy to find, on the other hand, both if you travel by car or by public transport) and solved some doubts. And, once we arrived, he gave us all the information and tips to live in his house and also a lot of information and recommendations about Amsterdam and its surrounding area.
We would recommend the house to everybody and if I ever go back to Amsterdam (hopefully!) I am sure what my choice will be!
Our stay at Franks house was great! The location on the water is really cool and we enjoyed it a lot. It's very good connected with the tram and the nightbus, so you can go wherever you want! Frank was very helpful and he made our stay so easy as possible, thank you for all! Markus
it was so cool! we are delighted with this cozy place, a beautiful area and this wonderful house, and from you Frank!. one month has passed and we still remember those happy 3 days, we are always speking about it!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! It is the beste Place we know! We Hope to visit you, Frank again!

Comments: Unlike Forten Sweet, this string is as stiff as medium stiff polys. I tried to put this string as cross in
2 of my hybrid string jobs. Both times, I had to cut it after less than 1 hour of play, as it doesn't soften the poly main at all,
and gave me elbow problems.
From: Mike, 5/16
Comments: I thought I would try this just for the price. I normally string my racquets with Alpha Gut 18. I put
this in and went out to hit against one of the local club pros that is a regular hitting partner. I was expecting to give up on it
after a few minutes. I was totally wrong, I could not have hit better, he was the one that was frustrated. After we played
several baseline games, I rubbed some salt in the wound and told him I was playing with nylon that costs less than a dollar
to string. This stuff is for real, so far it has lasted 3 hitting sessions (which is good for me, normally I will break the Alpha
Gut on the third). It is very soft and has great feel, plenty of spin when you want it. Also the easiest string I have ever
strung. To me it plays very similar to the Alpha Gut with a little more durability. You absolutely can not go wrong with this
for the price.
From: Steve, 7/15
Comments: Great price! Worth the money, but don't expect it to be as good as Prince Synthetic or Duraflex.
pop, decent durability, not great for spin. Not as arm friendly compared to Prince or Gamma synthetic. After 2 and half
hours of
straight play, my elbow starts acting up. never happened when I used Prince or Gamma synthetic. I don't regret buying
because the price can't be beat, but I'm not going to buy this again going forward. I have a heavy top spin one hand
backhand and
also use top spin forehand so maybe this is why my elbow is weak.
From: Thomas, 4/14
Comments: I have been playing tennis for 23 years so far. Former D1 college player. I have played with some
expensive strings in the past and to be honest, I love this string and this price, you just can't beat. It is durable, feels soft,
easy to
weave. I actually prefer the string that moves around a little bit. It gives me something to do in between points. I purchased
first reel of this string about a year ago and now I'm coming back to get another one. I recommend this string whether you
are on
a tight budget or not.
From: I, 2/14
Comments: This is a really soft string that works well as a cross string in poly hybrids. I have reels of this
string in
natural, black, and white. I find that the black and white strings are prone to shearing and break easily if you mishit off the
top of
the frame (I've never had this issue with the natural colored strings). The paint on the black strings will rub off pretty easily
will mark up the tennis balls. I've hit with this string in a full setup and it's fairly durable. I hit with heavy topspin and can
about 5-6 hours on it.
From: LP, 2/14
Comments: I recently bought 2 reels of this to string for the High School team that I coach. The kids love it
and the
durability has not been a issue. For a coach on a budget this has been a great investment. The string performs well at a
range of
tensions. This helps to find the ideal tension for each player.
From: Jim, 2/13
Comments: I'm a former collegiate player, teaching pro, and participant in many Futures Wildcard/Qualifier
This string is wonderful for teaching, and for my clients. I've played this string in the crosses with a poly mains setup and it
me wonderful feel. Do yourself a favor, save some money, and buy this reel, especially if you have your own stringer. This
is a
must have string in a full bed for beginning players.
From: Mike, 1/13
Comments: The color of these strings does matter. The yellow color ones are soft, not as durable, and tends
vibrate a little bit. I also got the white color ones and those are more durable, play a little stiffer, and has minimal vibration.
sound that comes off from these two different color strings does sound differently. I've used these strings only as a cross
strung at 55-57 lbs. I say if you are going for more power, then get the yellow. If you are going more for control, then get
white. These strings are so cheap, I say get them in different color and experiment.
From: Anon, 11/12
Comments: This is a good string. I got it from a friend for free so I can't complain. It's great to learn how to
From: Chris, 10/12
Comments: I did not find this string durable. I wouldn't recommend this string.
From: William, 10/12
Comments: Don't use this string in the mains, as it moves dramatically
(0.5-1.0cm each way) after 30 minutes of normal play. Best to only use this
string as crosses in combination with a stiff, long-lasting string in
the mains. I strung this as a full string bed in a Head iPrestige
93sq.in. racquet and a Babolat Pure Drive mains and synthetic gut for crosses
and the string bed moved to the point of being able to put two-three
fingers through a gap in the center of the string bed.
From: Triston, 6/12
Comments: This is a pretty good string! It plays soft and is arm friendly. When it lost its playability I just break,
which is around 1 month. I play 3-4 times a week at 2 -3 hours each.
From: Raymond, 11/11
Comments: These strings has good playability and the durability is way below average. Whoever owns a 90
inch racquet, don't use these strings with old grommets. It doesn't last long and I only recommend these reels if you are a
From: Albert, 9/11
Comments: This string is the best bang for you buck. It is cheap, easy to string,
soft for the arm, etc. My only complaint is that it leaves marks on the
balls just like other players mentioned here. I use it as cross with
Tecnifibre Black Code on the main and it works perfect.
From: John, 9/11
Comments: In my opinion, this is very good string. I am semi-pro club player. I have played with this for 6
and changed it 4 times. In feel it can compete with avery expensive string. It's only weak point is that after 3-4 weeks it
loses its
tension. But if you have to change it for every 3 weeks, its price is still very well.
From: Turkey, Istanbul. 06/11
Comments: Great strings for the price. However, the strings works best with mid-stiff to stiff racquets and if
racquet is in the flexible side, you will not get that lively feel or pop on the ball (if that's what you're looking for). The string
maintains tension fairly well (summertime not so great), it's soft enough to be arm friendly, it bites on the ball well enough
generate spin (the "natural color" Forten not as much), and above average durability with a slow to moderate swing speed.
I give this string a 7 out of 10, great if used as a full set and even better as cross (poly strings on the main). For a under $20
of strings, you'll get more than what you pay for.
From: Teddy. 6/11
Comments: Well, I must admit, I am surprised. I guess we all have different tastes. I really enjoy the soft mushy
these strings provide. Over the last three years I have tried over 30 types of strings, ranging from OG Sheep Micro, to MSV
Hex ect, I am also not a fan of the Poly's.. Without a doubt, we all have different tastes. I'm not exactly sure why these and
Sweet 16's work for me; and I assure you I don't work for Forten. I string my rackets too often to address any long term
I usually like strings at lower tensions (54-52), but these strings at a higher tension still give me that soft feel at much
tensions (62-60), wile providing me more control through self propulsion. All of my friends have varied opinions, and this is
I use a Wilson BLX Pro Open racket.
From: Joshua, Albuquerque, NM, USA, 03/11
Comments: People say this string is not bad for the price, but it is terrible, no spin, pop, control, nothing just
terrible! Now I am stuck with a whole reel of this crap. STAY AWAY FROM THIS STRING; I play tennis at least six hours a
week at
4.0 level. I know what I am talking about.
From: Adam, West Lafayette, IN, USA, 02/11
Comments: Ok here is the low down. First of all this string is very good for first time stringers. It is very
maneuverable and is easy to weave. Now I bought a reel of the black and green cause it is so cheap. I strung with the
green and I
hit for a few hours at about 58 pounds. After a few hits, the strings started to move. After a match they were so shifted
Not too much tension loss. I played the next day with a friend and after a few hours of play, I hit a huge forehand down the
off a serve and they broke. They do have very good control and feel and spin but just not too durable by them selves.
People on
these reviews say that they are so durable and I don't get it because I hit with moderate spin and after 3 to 4 hours they
The next day I strung a hybrid with pro hurricane and some black Forten nylon in the crosses, I played and it was great
very cool. After a day or so, the black color begins to wear off but that's ok. Overall great string for a better price but not
durable. I would definitely consider it for a hybrid. Good luck!!
From: John, Miami, FL, USA, 01/11
Comments: Strings do leave marks of balls. Strings are changing color. These stings are durable. (There are
guts, which brakes within an hour). These are going to last from 3-4 days to the infinite. Not overpowered (love this fact).
stiff, they are soft. Can be mixed with any other types of strings. Spin at average (sufficient) level. Strings do not move (do
pieces that is the solution). I play with these strings for 6 months or so. Have mixed them with long list of different kinds of
strings. I always used Nylon as cross. Changing brands for mains and keeping these as a foundation. Other people whom I
installed two pieces just Nylon are very happy and play great games too. These strings perform very good at wide range of
from 39 to 60 Lb. They start getting alive with tension going up, I mean low tension primarily can be used for increasing
consistency, higher tension for adding performance. Easy to install.
Get contrast colors for mains (not dark) to make it easier to perform stringing.
Not crisp (I'm not suffering from that :) ).
There are many syn. gut strings like this one in the same price range and with the same playability level.
Can recommend to mix with polyester lower power mono-filament, preferably shaped or textured strings.
From: Bedrock, Santa Barbara, CA, USA, 12/10
Comments: Wow I was surprised with how great it was for the price. Only problem is its durability. I have been
restringing it every 3 weeks and I only play 4 hours a week. Recommended for people who don't have a lot to spend and
have their
own stringer.
From: Mark, Rockford, MI, USA, 11/10
Comments: I like this stuff a lot. Very soft, seems to last more than Prince SGD with less string movement
(still a
lot though), and really easy to string with. It's a bit more on the mushy side feel-wise as opposed to the crispier feel of
other synthetics.
One thing I will say is that if you're a heavy hitter, I would avoid getting the black color. I've noticed I now have 3 parallel
lines the exact spacing of my crosses on all of my practice balls! (Thought my ball machine was doing it for the longest
From: Paul, Gainesville, FL, USA, 11/10
Comments: One string I would use. It is so easy on the arms. I used poly strings before. They gave me tennis
elbows so bad not to mention shoulder problems. Switched to this string, shoulder's getting much better and a whole lot
tennis elbow. It has good power, spin and pop. I have my own string machine so durability is not a problem and it costs
very little
per racket. I would recommend this string with no doubts. Excellent string.
From: Van, FL, USA, 08/10
Comments: Fantastic string! As others have said, this has a similar feel to natural gut. I string my own
and this is, without a doubt, the easiest string due to the elasticity. Positives: Feel, easy on the arm, price. Negatives:
From: Steve, Lincoln, NE, USA, 07/10
Comments: I string myself, and this is the easiest I have strung with. Very elastic, which translates to a nice,
easy-on-the-arm string. The only negative to this string is durability, but given how easy it is to string coupled with the
performance, this will be my string of choice for some time. I typically hybrid this in the mains with a 1.15-1.25 synthetic in
crosses. Do not use something too expensive in the crosses, as the string does not have good durability. As others have
mentioned, using this in the crosses of a hybrid is problematic as the poly will eat through this string in no time. It does
nicely with a cheap string like Gosen Polylon 17 in the mains...a stringer's low price dream!
From: Steve, Lincoln, NE. 7/10
Comments: Good string that is quite soft, but a little stiffer than prince 15L tournament. 16$ - great price for a
string. It hits good, usual spin, power is decent, and it's about in the middle of the weak/power range. There's good pop.
I'm a
heavy hitter, and I've played 6 hours in these, they are 3/4 through, so they lasted about 4 days for me, but it's so cheap,
and I
don't mind restringing. I have played with the string in a hybrid. It is good, but if you had a hard poly/co-poly it will eat
this string. I have played with prince topspin, which is a little harder nylon, and it doesn't have any signs of indention, the
is taking all of it, so you should probably find a more durable string if you are looking to hybrid, cross, or main...I personally
would hybrid this in a cross.
From: Bryce, Fresno, California, USA. 06/10
Comments: First of all this string is cheap...really cheap. While stringing, you realize that it is very elastic and
making the actual job of stringing a pleasure. On the racquet this string performs very well, similar to natural gut. I use this
on older Wilson Jack Kramer Pro Staff wood racquets.
From: Mitch, New York, NY, USA. 4/10
Comments: This string is great for someone that has a big serve and great volleys. This is a great string for
in a hybrid. I recommend using it with gamma Monoblast in mains strung to 55#. The only problem I had was durability. It
about half a week in the hybrid and 2 days with full bed. I recommend using string savers with it too, but string a little lower
the string savers can add tension with no problem.
From: Kyle, Birmingham, Alabama, USA 03/10
Comments: I think most of the posts were from tennis players and thus different results than from
racquetball players. Anyways, I restring my own racquets and for friends and for costing $17.00 it hits great and lasts very
time for the average / regular racquetball player. I restring my racquets once a month because it is so cheap and I like the
string feel. You can't go wrong using this Forten string on any racquetball racquet.
From: Larry I
City, State, Country:San Jose, CA 02/10
Comments: I was very surprised at how elastic this string is when I was stringing racquets with it. It
is by
far the most elastic string I have used. I have tried many types of syn gut strings out there in the market and this nylon
performs just as good in playability and durability at a fraction of the cost. Use these as crosses with Gosen Polylon on the
for a cost-effective yet high performance hybrid setup.
From: Son, Mableton, GA, USA, 10/09
Comments: Horrible for me. Broke strings (Gosen Og Micro) at the court once and my friend's dad
to run home and string my racquet up. Came back with this (full bed) in it. Tried hitting with it, oh man the ball slips off the
strings! No bite at all. That's what I felt.
From: Vincent, USA, 07/09
Comments: I had my doubts about buying a reel of this string for 17 dollars, but I thought I'd try it
Boy, was I surprised. This string has been one of the easiest to string, and one of the softest on the arm. It is extremely
economical and my clients give me good feedback when I use it in their crosses. It's a great string, and for the price, its a
From: Alec, Corona, CA, USA 06/09
Comments: Very soft strings. I use this string as crosses hybrid with Gosen Poly 17g for mains. I
been hitting for 15+ hours and it's not anywhere close to breaking soon. Last time I used the Head FXP Power strings
racquet) that feel a little softer but only last about 8 hours. If you're looking for a hybrid string (for a softer feel than all
polyester), this is the one to consider. I consider myself a hard hitter with a decent amount of topspin, so this string is very
durable when used on a hybrid. I haven't tried stringing it by itself yet, but I will since I string my own racquets. I doubt it
will last
as long as the hybrid though. Great buy! Low cost, durable, and great feel.
From: Andy, Richmond, VA USA. 05/09
Comments: Safe on elbow, good for everyday play. I would go to a better grade for tourney play.
From: Luis R, San Diego Ca U.S.A. 05/09
Comments:Great string and flexible; soft feel. I also play with my old wooden tennis racquet from
time to
time and had tried different stings on it, but was not happy with how it played until I put this string on it. I was surprised to
hit the
ball with ease on my wood racquet with this string. So if you have a wood racquet your thinking about stringing, use this
you won't be disappointed. And if you don't, this string is great anyway for the price.
From: Mark, USA. 12/08
Comments: I compared this against the Gosen Syn16. Go for this if you want softer feel, and Gosen
if you
prefer firmer string bed.
From: Wksoh, Singapore, 07/08
Comments: I have used this string for months now, and I snap it about every two weeks. At almost
snap, it was near the frame. Be sure to pre-stretch the string before stringing because the string can break easily while
(drop weight machines).
From: Anon, Stockton, CA. USA. 5/08
Comments: I've had this string about a week, and I've used it on all my racquets now. It feels good
hits well for the price. The strings move around after about an hour of hitting, but the feel and spin are still there. I have my
stringer so I restring about once a week. I play 4-5 days a week about 3 hours per day. I'd recommend it if you are looking
something cheap and affordable but still has a decent amount of spin and feel to it. Can't beat the price.
From: Donny, Wilmington, NC, USA. 10/07
Comments: This string is an excellent choice for the budget player. It is soft for a solid core string
plays lively. It lasts me a couple of outings before it loses tension and becomes unplayable. However, because it is so
cheap and
having my own stringer I can restring after every two outings.
From: Tuan, Houston, TX, USA, 10/07
Comments: Good string at a great price. Pretty soft with decent feel, and does ok on spin and
power. If
you keep it fresh it plays pretty well. definitely a good choice for crosses on a hybrid. Can't beat the price.
From: T, San Diego, CA, USA, 09/07
Comments: The only good part of this string is its price... you really get the bang for your buck. It
breaks easily and moves around erratically after half an hour. Only get this string if you string your rackets by yourself.
From: Adham, Beamsville, Ontario, Canada. 12/06
Comments: Great stuff. If you break your strings a lot, get it! Same feel and cost a lot less than any
string on this site.
From: Mike 05/06
Comments: As a college tennis player, I am a heavy spin hitter. I need something that has a soft
feel, yet
lasts longer than typical synthetic gut, which would last roughly 3 days for me. So, I use this nylon as cross with some
string as the main and it works very well! It feels exactly the same as synthetic gut and I hardly ever break strings with
From: Grant, Cincinnati, Ohio, U.S. 07/05
Comments: This nylon plays pretty good, and it makes a good benchmark for comparing string
performances. Although it doesn't feel quite as crisp as the most expensive synthetics it does last about 10-20% longer
than the
average synthetics of the same gauge. It is extremely economical with a great durability to cost ratio. If you have a stringer
works out to a little over fifty cents per racquet. It definitely is great for people who hate the expense of being a chronic
breaker like me.

Study hard. Get good grades. Repeat until graduation. That's the message Zions Bank is sending students like Jazmyn Sacco Stoddard, who won the Emery County-area drawing for a $100 scholarship savings account through the Zions Pays for A's program. Stoddard received the surprise news about the scholarship during an assembly from Zions Bank's Huntington branch manager Joel Hatch and customer service manager Jenene Hansen along with Principal Jim Jones on Feb. 14.
Open to all Utah and Idaho students ages 13 through 18, Zions Pays for A's offers cash incentives for good grades. Teen students simply take their most recent term-end report cards from the current academic year into any Zions Bank location. They'll receive $1 per "A" deposited into their savings accounts, or .50 cents per "A" if they opt for cash. For each "A" on their report cards, students receive automatic entries into one of 152 annual drawings for scholarship prizes worth up to $1,000.
Earlier this year, Stoddard brought her report card with at least one "A" grade into Zions Bank's Huntington office. Her name was selected randomly in a drawing among entrants from throughout the Emery County area.
Students have until March 16 to submit their most recent term report cards for the next scholarship savings account drawing. Teens need not be customers of Zions to participate. More information and full contest details are available online at www.zionsbank.com/pays4as.
"At Zions Bank, we understand that it takes community support to foster successful futures for young people like Jazmyn. That's why we want to help local teachers and parents in their efforts to encourage teens to do their very best in school," said Joel Hatch, branch manager of Zions Bank's Huntington branch.
Zions Bank is Utah's oldest financial institution and is the only local bank with a statewide distribution of branches, operating 106 full-service offices. Zions Bank also operates 27 full-service branches in Idaho. In addition to offering a wide range of traditional banking services, Zions Bank is also a leader in small business lending and has ranked as the No. 1 lender of U.S. Small Business Administration 7(a) loans in Utah for the past 18 consecutive years. Founded in 1873, Zions Bank has been serving the communities of Utah for nearly 140 years. Additional information is available at www.zionsbank.com.

Understanding the Naval Strategy Process
By Robert Kozloski
In September 1992, the Naval War College gathered naval experts from around the world to examine the works of Sir Julian Corbett and Admiral Sir Herbert Richmond in the post-Cold War context. From the conference papers, the book "Mahan is not Enough" was published.
One excellent article from this compilation that remains particularly relevant today is "Process: The Realities of Formulating Modern Naval Strategy" written by Dr. David Alan Rosenberg.
Rosenberg uses the works of Corbett and Richmond to illustrate the importance of leveraging and integrating the expertise of naval historians and naval officers to fully understand naval strategy.
The key takeaway from this piece is a valuable framework for understanding the modern naval strategy-making process. It includes a list of seventeen topics for investigation, and while delving into each factor is too lengthy for this post, a cursory examination reveals the complex nature of naval strategy:
- The nature of training and education programs, career patterns, and professional specialization of officers in the naval service;
- The career patterns and operational, technical and staff backgrounds of individual naval officers in significant leadership positions;
- The procurement costs, capabilities, operating patterns and sustainment requirements of naval weapons systems;
- Changes in tactical doctrine and/or naval art;
- The administrative structure, operational doctrine, strategic plans and command and control organization of tactical units beyond individual ships;
- The sources of intelligence information;
- The process of intelligence production, analysis, and dissemination;
- The structure, organization, and procedures of naval service-wide strategic planning;
- The structure, organization, and procedures of naval service-wide program and procurement planning;
- The state of research and development progress of a nation's naval warfare technology;
- The state of the national scientific and industrial infrastructure for research, development, and production of naval warfare technology;
- The character and personalities of naval service and national leadership;
- The structure, organization, and procedures of national strategic military planning;
- The structure, organization, and procedures of national program and procurement planning;
- The character and personalities of national defense leadership;
- The character and structure of the national political system as it relates to defense issues;
- The character, structure, and status of national financial and economic systems as they relate to national defense.
While this framework is valuable for researchers and students of naval strategy, it also provides a useful guide for aspiring naval strategists to consider. To become a proficient naval strategist, a broad knowledge-base attained through experience, education, and professional reading is essential.
For those interested in learning more about the history of naval strategy, the Center for Naval Analysis provides a repository of their superb work on this topic. Each of their products provides a thorough examination of navy capstone documents and covers the political, economic, and military context within which it was formulated.
As a reminder for those interested in naval history, the United States Naval Academy hosts the 2013 McMullen Naval History Symposium in Annapolis, Maryland, on 19-20 September 2013. The list of presenters and topics is impressive and the event provides an excellent forum for naval officers and historians to interact.

In the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains, just above the fog line, one discovers the partnership of climate and soil, idyllic for the growth of the delicate wine grape. Warm afternoons and cool evening breezes offer year-round perfection for the production of the Bruzzone Family Chardonnay. Hand-harvested in late Fall, oak barrel processing creates a medium-bodied, clean wine with hints of citrus and apple, followed by the gentle entry of a light coffee flavor.
The Bruzzone Family Vineyard was established in 1999. After great success with their Chardonnay, the family added an additional 7 acres dedicated to the growth of this notable varietal and created an additional planting for their Pinot Noir.

Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 5pm.
Closed Monday through Friday
Burrell School's origins date back to 1854 when Lyman J. Burrell settled the rough wilderness that is now home to our winery and Estate vines. Carrying on the more than 130 year old tradition at the School, David and Anne Moulton began development of the Estate vineyard in 1973. At a 1,600 foot elevation, the site faces to the southwest. Soils are a complex mixture of loam and shale due to our close proximity to the San Andreas Fault.
Nearby Monterey Bay brings warm days and cool nights. This results in a unique microclimate, perfect for long, slow ripening of cool climate grapes.
Initial plantings were to Chardonnay and Merlot, with Pinot Noir added in 2002. Cultivation and spraying are done with heritage Cletrac tractors; pruning, seasonal operations and picking are all done by hand.
From growing to harvesting, the goal is toward the best wine grapes possible in order to produce distinctive, concentrated wines reflective of their mountain home.

The accuser in the rape trial of two Ohio high school football players testified Saturday she recalled drinking at a party last summer, but could not remember what had happened when she awoke the next day naked in a strange house. (March 16) AP
The much-publicized rape trial of two Steubenville, Ohio, high school football players accused of assaulting an intoxicated 16-year-old West Virginia girl ended Saturday. Judge Thomas Lipps says he will announce his verdict Sunday after reviewing evidence from the four-day trial, the Associated Press reports.
Trent Mays, 17, and Ma'lik Richmond, 16, are charged in juvenile court with raping the girl after a party last summer. Both maintain their innocence. If found guilty they could be held in juvenile jail until they turn 21.
The accuser took the stand Saturday and testified that she could not recall what happened the night of the attack before waking up naked in a strange house.
The alleged victim said she drank a mixed drink, spiked punch and a shot before leaving the party with Mays, WKYC in Cleveland reports. The girl said she suspects she was drugged because of how intoxicated she became that night.
"I remember walking down the steps and in the street. That was it," she said.
The prosecution says Mays and Richmond sexually assaulted the intoxicated girl in the back of a car, and then in the basement of a house where she later awoke, naked. She testified she could not find her cell phone, earrings, shoes or underwear.

EARLIER: Text messages key evidence in trial
"It was really scary," she testified. "I was embarrassed and scared. I didn't know what to think. I couldn't remember. I woke up with no clothes on. I didn't know what happened at all."
The girl said she did not learn of the alleged assault until she saw a photo from that night and a friend gave her the link to a video posted on YouTube in which a student joked about the assault.
When the accuser was shown a nude photo of herself that students had shared through text messages, she broke down and cried on the stand.
"I was just not myself . I wasn't being myself," the girl said.
She testified she does not remember being photographed as Mays and Richmond carried her, in an image that was widely circulated on social media sites.
Earlier Saturday, the defense questioned witnesses who called the accuser's credibility into question.
Gionna Anile, a former friend of the alleged victim testified she tried to stop the girl from leaving the party with Mays and Richmond.
"She would not listen to me," Anile said. "I tried to pull her back, saying 'let's go.' She swung her arm at me."
Anile testified she picked up the alleged victim the next morning where she found her lying on a couch in the basement of a Steubenville student's home, the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
The alleged victim did not seem upset, Anile said, and was primarily concerned with finding her cell phone.
Anile asked the girl what happened the night before.
"We didn't have sex, I swear," the alleged victim said at first, according to Anile. But soon after that the girl said she didn't remember what happened.
West Virginia high school student Kelsey Weaver said the accuser told her what happened two days after the alleged attack then, sometime afterward, told Weaver she couldn't remember what happened.
"So two different versions?" asked Mays'attorney Adam Nemann.
"Yes," Weaver replied.
Weaver also said the accuser had been flirting with Richmond at the party.
Both Weaver and Anile testified that they were upset with the alleged victim the night of the party because she was drinking heavily. They both said she has a history of drinking and has lied about things in the past.

Since September 2012 I work part-time for Metzelaar Praktijkgilde, a starting up school where craftsmanship is in the center of the educational concept. Students are coached and taught by a team of professional craftsman and educators. After an introduction period of six weeks students work together with professional craftsmen on paid jobs. While on the job, students find out what they're good at and what they need to learn.
For the six weeks introduction period, the assignment of designing and making of a "Led wall piece" works great because a lot of aspects of different crafts and skills are introduced on a novice level. In the same time, making a logo of your own design (or your favorite soccer team :-)) proves to be very rewarding and stimulating for the students.
For the instruction, I haven't used a powerpoint, worksheet or drawings. I used the real thing, a hands-on example in the form of my self made Boo wall piece. I find this much more efficient way of instruction than the text or picture based instruction.
Since the students made their own designs for the wall piece, a few extra's came along that I had not foreseen, but was very happy to include, such as the use of perspex, typography, using different colored led's, chiseling, etc.
We started with a very heterogeneous group of 11 students, aged from 17 to 31 with different levels of previous education.
General goals for this project are:
- First and foremost: Make students enthusiastic about Making and providing a successful start with their just-started education.
- Introducing different skills and materials to the students.
- Investigating the students' skills in various disciplines.
- Investigating the students' interests in different disciplines of craft.
On crafts:
- Introduction to the crafts woodworking, painting, eletronics, calligraphy
Introduction and training of skills:
- Introduction to the use of some tools: jigsaw, sander, chisel, router, soldering iron
On design:
- Sketching
- Dimensioning and technical drawing
- Transferring design on wood
- Use of colors
- Typography
On electronics
- Concepts of electrical circuit, current and voltage
- Concepts of electrical resistance, use of resistors to limit a current

The Rebels and the Brumbies head into Friday's Super Rugby encounter as the unbeaten teams in the Australian conference.
The Rebels and the Brumbies head into Friday's Super Rugby encounter as the unbeaten teams in the Australian conference.
The Brumbies made short work of the Reds, who have been the yard stick of the conference in recent years. The Rebels by comparison had a patchy performance to claim the points against the Western Force.
The Rebels, buoyed with the return of several key players from rest and injury, showed signs they're shedding the tag of easy beats. While they were far from clinical, their forwards were robust and their backs competent. They dropped plenty of ball and gave away silly penalties and were also blighted by the sin-binning of start recruit Scott Higginbotham who was a too enthusiastic at the breakdown.
The Brumbies though, have put the conference on notice and with the standard of their game against the Reds. Their hustle and bustle kept their more fancied opponents at bay. The return of influential playmaker Christian Lealiifano at inside centre and the injection of former Western Force flanker David Pocock into the back row have given the team two go-to players in pivotal moments.
Counting the pre-season, the Brumbies are travelling 3-0 with wins against the Force and the ACT amateur representative side in addition to the Reds last week. The Rebels are travelling 1-2 after credible loses to the Waratahs and the Highlanders in the preseason, and their seven-point victory over the Force.
In their two encounters last season, the Brumbies triumphed. The Brumbies humbled the Rebels on a wintery Canberra night. They ran the Rebels in the forwards and the backs. When the Rebels hosted the return encounter, the match was far closer. Outscored two tries to one, the Rebels scored late through a Cooper Vuna try but couldn't peg back the lead to go down by eight points.
It's hard to predict what kind of game we'll get from these sides based on last week.
The Brumbies clearly played a higher quality opponent. One can expect the Brumbies to unleash the fire power of the front 10, particularly with scrum-half Nick White and inside centre Christian Lealiifano respectively organising their forwards and midfield up the ground.
The Rebels will need the trio of Scott Higginbotham, Gareth Delve and new blindside flanker Scott Fuglistaller to get the job done in close to nullify David Pocock and will need to look wide quickly for their scoring opportunities through Kurtley Beale's spiral passes.
Prediction: The Brumbies have the better form and have proven it against a classier opponent. They also have greater depth. The Rebels will push them, and push them very hard. They'll also have to stay very cool and clinical to come close. The Brumbies to win by 7, with a bonus point!
The teams:
Melbourne Rebels: 15 James O'Connor, 14 Lachlan Mitchell, 13 Mitch Inman, 12 Rory Sidey, 11 Richard Kingi, 10 Kurtley Beale, 9 Nic Phipps, 8 Gareth Delve, 7 Scott Fuglistaller, 6 Scott Higginbotham, 5 Luke Jones, 4 Hugh Pyle, 3 Laurie Weeks, 2 Ged Robinson, 1 Nic Henderson.
Replacements: 16 Shota Horie, 17 Paul Alo Emile, 18 Cadeyrn Neville, 19 Jarrod Saffy, 20 Nick Stirzaker, 21 Alex Rokobaro, 22 Tom English.
Brumbies: 15 Jesse Mogg, 14 Joe Tomane, 13 Andrew Smith, 12 Christian Lealiifano, 11 Clyde Rathbone, 10 Matt Toomua, 9 Nic White, 8 Ben Mowen (c), 7 David Pocock, 6 Peter Kimlin, 5 Sam Carter, 4 Scott Fardy, 3 Dan Palmer, 2 Stephen Moore, 1 Ben Alexander.
Replacements: 16 Siliva Siliva, 17 Scott Sio, 18 Fotu Auelua, 19 Colby Faingaa, 20 Ian Prior, 21 Robbie Coleman, 22 Tevita Kuridrani.

Comments: The Cream White Miki is a Great Bed Fishing Bait! I use a 3/0 Straight Shank hooked weightless.
From: Rusty: TX
Comments: This bait is great. Anytime the bass are really pressured I reach for this bait in the 4" size. This produces on drop shot when nothing else does. I get bit on the first cast to a bed most times with this lure. Extremely finesse.
From: Nathan: Saginaw, MI
Comments:I got a pack of Damiki Finesse Miki in the 4" model oxblood and used it on a drop shot rig. I caught a limit of crappie and bream on them. The only problem was I was fishing for bass. I haven't caught a bass on this yet but they do catch fish. I will go with the 6" next time and see what happens.
