CIOs have a greenfield opportunity in evolving transactions into relationships. Until now, the CIO has focused mainly on applying IT to front-office and back-office processes, including the web channel. The new opportunity is about out-of-office systems, which will stretch CIOs beyond IT's traditional role. Done right, though, this stretch will place the CIO much closer to the customer than ever before.
As discussed in the article, "Using technology to help customers achieve their goals," the proliferation of connected sensors is accelerating, creating an Internet of Things. Businesses now can collect consumption and usage data from sensors they embed in their products, and they can use this information to redefine customer relationships. PwC believes changes are afoot for businesses to go beyond the transaction. Businesses thus far have transformed their pre-transaction relationship with potential customers, often referred to as e-commerce, by digitally reinventing marketing, product discovery, comparison shopping, buyer feedback and reviews, and purchasing and delivery options; in essence, all the steps up through the transaction. A post-transaction relationship approach creates new services, post-transaction services, which use consumption data to reinvent the provider-customer relationship in the service of customers' goals. (See Figure 1.)
Figure 1
In post-transaction relationships, the digitization of consumption and the augmentation of the customer experience set the stage for businesses to help customers achieve their personal goals
CIOs already play a key role in transforming business processes, most recently by enhancing extended processes that involve suppliers and distributors. E-commerce and e-support established IT as a player in customer-related processes that primarily support company goals (selling and help desk). Efforts in going beyond the transaction will pull the CIO and the IT organization to use its assets and skills to support customer goals. Fundamentally, the "business process" of interest becomes the "customer process"—that is, the set of activities targeting a customer goal, which is the reason for the customer's purchase of a product or service in the first place.
The digitization of consumption via connected sensors creates a continuous flow of data between the customer and the business associated with this customer process. Aggregating, integrating, and applying analytics to this data will generate information businesses can use to help customers be more successful in achieving their goals. CIOs have the skills and experience to make a difference here.
Capitalizing on post-transaction relationships is not a straightforward extension of existing IT capabilities. It requires new formulations of IT, even if legacy IT solutions can serve as the starting point. Because post-transaction relationships offer the potential for new, differentiating business models, they also require new approaches to engaging with the business and its extended ecosystem.
As enterprises have adopted new IT, both enterprises and their IT leaders have seen their event horizons broaden significantly. In earlier times, IT focused on internal business processes, mainly in the back office of enterprises, starting with payroll and accounting, and eventually extending to manufacturing, human resources, and other internal operational systems. Over time, the IT event horizon expanded to the front office and the customer-facing capabilities or capabilities used by employees facing the customer. This front office included systems for sales force automation, marketing, customer support, the web channel, and others.
Figure 2
The post-transaction relationship presents a new horizon for CIOs, the out of office
Going beyond the transaction is a significant challenge for customer and product centers of the business, but it calls for a quantum leap by enterprise IT to a new horizon, out of office. Out-of-office systems power post-transaction services and put the customer consumption value proposition front and center. (See Figure 2.) Out-of-office systems serve the customers by augmenting their experiences and helping them achieve personal goals.
Despite the apparent challenges, out-of-office customer processes complement back-office and front-office processes. Table 1 contrasts key differences between the focus on front office or back office, and out of office. Done right, initiatives that seed post-transaction relationships can position the CIO and IT much closer to the customer in what could become their most strategic role.
Table 1
Comparing the CIO opportunity in the front office, back office, and out of office
To take advantage of the post-transaction relationships, most businesses will need to evolve. Businesses will face not only a technology or innovation challenge, but a process and operating model challenge to maintain an ongoing, data-driven relationship with customers as their product experiences evolve. Success will not come by simply extrapolating from existing operations.
"You need to be ready to invest in a process, to launch and to learn, to fail, to start again, to not copy-paste old ideas, but to copy-morph them," says Daan Roosegaarde, an artist, designer, and entrepreneur who founded Studio Roosegaarde. Studio Roosegaarde has developed many examples of unique experiences that merge physical and digital environments into an integrated experience.1
Here are some of the key capabilities businesses must develop:
Many CIOs have the skills and assets, both technical and operational, to help their enterprises adopt these necessary competencies and operating procedures. CIOs manage organizations that have extensive experience in designing, deploying, monitoring, and managing full hardware, software, and network stack solutions. The CIO organization has significant experience managing 24x7 operations and support. It also has expertise in surfacing, integrating, storing, and analyzing data from batch and real-time processes.
In short, CIOs and enterprise IT can be key resources as the business goes beyond the transactions. Delivering the services infrastructure and advising business unit leaders unfamiliar with connected sensors are two obvious ways to contribute.
PwC identifies three stages of organizational development on the path to helping customers achieve their goals. (See Figure 3.) The journey commences with a set of enabling capabilities to develop a more complete understanding of customer experiences. With these capabilities in place, the second stage unleashes business leaders and product managers to pilot many opportunities for product, service, and business model innovation. The final stage incorporates all of the preceding in a broader, enterprise-wide set of feedback loops driven by more explicit, detailed knowledge of customer outcomes (an outcome is incremental and directional feedback that steers the customer toward the goal). In short, the focus evolves from customer value proposition and convenience alone to enterprise alignment with customer experiences and outcomes. A digital operating model2 is at the heart of the journey as businesses extend their operations beyond the transaction.
Figure 3
Journey to better alignment with customer outcomes
Many IT organizations already have strong competencies in the enabling capabilities in Figure 3. IT may or may not be as experienced in directly supporting innovation and business and community engagement; creating post-transaction services is an ideal opportunity to develop or sharpen these capabilities.
Post-transaction relationships will stretch the CIO and the IT infrastructure, requiring new enabling infrastructure, new skill sets, a new organizational structure, and changes to the business partner model.
Businesses are at different levels of maturity in their post-transaction strategies and initiatives. Therefore, a first recommended step for the CIO would be a current state– future state assessment relative to the enterprise's maturity:
Post-transaction relationships can enable new business models that could complement or displace the current ones. It will likely require a redesign of existing business processes or the introduction of new business units and processes. But CIOs have been here before, first with back-office automation, and more recently with front-office automation. The out-of-office focus explicitly ties the CIO and IT to customer outcomes, which some in the C-suite might view as too risky. Planning a way forward must complement the risk appetite that defines the overall business. Will the enterprise simply focus on a more automated way to deliver customer support, or will it push the envelope and assert a new business model?
That answer depends on many factors, including the enterprise's industry, regulatory mandates, and competitive positioning; how progressive the enterprise is; how far along the adoption curve it is; the current state of its IT; other enterprise and IT priorities; and the level of management support, especially for new investment.
Post-transaction services will require significant investments of talent and technology, and there must be a long-term commitment. Customers will quickly realize if your post-transaction service offering is dedicated to their personal success or not. Such services are a fully transparent glass house of digital-physical convergence. CIOs need to help business units ensure the plan is comprehensive, is endorsed by the C-suite and the board, and has realistic potential to succeed. An inadequate plan can lead to a highly visible failure, put customer relationships at risk, and damage the brand.
Post-transaction relationships rely heavily on a post-sale digital connection between the customer and the enterprise. Only by establishing such a connection can the enterprise efficiently capture data describing individual outcomes relevant to the customer. This new infrastructure means new demands on IT. Solutions must be reliable, secure, and scalable for real-time operations across potentially millions of end users, involving perhaps billions of transactions. To meet these requirements, IT must work with product managers to describe and map a new set of behavioral patterns and associated data structures. The raw data will likely require sophisticated analytics and visualization solutions to deliver effective guidance to customers (and customer support) as they work toward the outcomes they are targeting.
The good news is that the technology industry already provides many of the building blocks, such as a reliable Internet, mobile devices, cloud services, open application programming interfaces (APIs), data analytics tools, and IT security tools. The CIO's role in the past has been to select, integrate, and operate the assembly of these capabilities. Post-transaction services will build on these strengths and experiences, with new emphases on the following:
All businesses understand the need to put the customer at the center of the business. For some businesses, where the product is a digital service, IT may already have the most direct link to customers. In other cases, the customer link is shared with business partners, such as product development, sales, marketing, and R&D. The focus on the customer will always mean partnering with customer-centered business units.
At a technology level, partnering between IT and business units increasingly looks like co-creation, where IT delivers a set of core services via published APIs. Central IT is the one place where all data come together. Acquiring and shepherding that data and/or the analytics derived from it is IT's core competency, but localizing the value from it is often best delivered via applications built by others inside or outside the enterprise. (See Figure 4.) PwC calls such an arrangement an open IT platform.
Figure 4
Open IT builds on prior or ongoing service-oriented architecture (SOA) and API efforts, and it reorganizes IT capabilities in modular chunks to allow co-creation with internal and external partners
"We are opening up our capabilities to allow merchants and publishers to take advantage of our infrastructure to deploy end-to-end seamless experiences," says Dominic Morea, senior vice president of advanced solutions and innovation at First Data. The need to go beyond the transaction and the innovative devices emerging from the Internet of Things are not the only drivers of this change. Advances in social technologies, mobile technologies, analytics, and cloud computing (SMAC) are also pushing IT departments to be more open, so the enterprise can participate in increasingly digital partner ecosystems.3
The core requirement for open IT is that it scale efficiently and reliably. PwC described how to do this in the Technology Forecast 2012, Issue 2.4 Done right, open IT delivers information services that internal and external partners build on rather than passively accept as the endpoint in an information supply chain.
For IT, this approach is a change from delivering and maintaining full, end-to-end applications to delivering a platform that has modular capabilities expressed as reliable interfaces. "The IT department creates a foundation by integrating the machine data with various other sources to enable a wide range of use cases," says Konica Minolta's Ingrassia. "We use this enabling foundation to power the applications that my organization develops to support the technicians and their support experience."
In post-transaction services, many of the connected sensors and devices will expose their information as APIs that form part of this modular technology ecosystem. Similarly, almost all network and cloud services are built with explicit anticipation of API support.
For the CIO, open IT is an architectural matter more than a technology purchase. As business ecosystems become more digital, the value differentiators increasingly come from information generated by or associated with a product or service. The post-transaction relationship capitalizes on this transition of value as connected sensors digitize consumption at the individual level, helping customers achieve their goals.
Embracing post-transaction services via open IT and associated infrastructure requirements will be an organizational challenge as well. Enterprise IT has historically been optimized around the design, deployment, and operation of core systems; it is unlikely the organization has many of the new skills needed.
The CIO needs to focus on building an API-, web-, mobile-, connected-sensor-, and cloud-competent IT organization. Some CIOs are creating startup-like tiger teams under separate leadership. PwC often sees agile methodologies and approaches to code management and deployment in these groups. Other CIOs are establishing incubator groups or centers of excellence for SMAC and/or RESTful API development. Sometimes embedded in business units, these distributed groups focus on building a competency in a given area and acting as evangelists for the methods, tools, and so forth to be used in the future. The members of these centers might also begin to plan, execute, and gain experience building the future state architecture as laid out by the CIO. The great news is that many in the IT organization today are anxious to upgrade their skills and would welcome the opportunity to learn new skills and technologies.
CIOs have long been advised to get closer to the customer. Post-transaction relationships are the opportunity to do so down to each individual customer. The CIO's vision is clear—use information at the point of consumption to guide customers to better outcomes. Implementing this vision will require CIOs to define a new out-of-office context for IT that builds on and complements the capabilities CIOs have assembled with earlier back-office and front-office projects.
Because the action takes place out of office, there are new imperatives. Connected devices present their own hardware, software, and network stack, as well as requirements for remote, automated services and for coordination with R&D and product managers. Post-transaction services will also push IT further into the cloud where many network and device management services already reside, seeding a partnership model based on an open IT via APIs.
The huge potential created by post-transaction relationships is real. So are the challenges. The connected things on the Internet are likely to be as disruptive to the enterprise as e-commerce was in pre-transaction relationships. But CIOs have met the disruptive future before, and they have responded by investing in new skills to address new requirements. This challenge is all about making customers successful. Because of that, post-transaction services will be the most compelling business opportunity CIOs have ever had.

|In response to Re: toilet releasing pressure?????
: Last fall one of my upstairs toilets started making a noise similar to releasing pressure when the master bath shower is on, the dishwasher or washing machine downstairs is on. It only happens when water is running in another part of the house. The home is 6 years old. This does not happen in the master bath or the powder room downstairs. Sometimes the noise is very loud and can be heard throughout the house. our builder told us this may happen occasionally, but it now happens on a daily basis.
I would look into the fill valve (ball cock)
Here are excerpts from the Fluidmaster web site:

By CARL F. HAUPTBenson, Ariz.
My name is Carl F. Haupt, I am a 70 year old retired Air Force Master Sergeant. About 20 months ago I became aware of the extreme poverty of the people living in the Colonia area of Agua Prieta, Mexico. For the past 18 months, I, with other senior citizens, have contributed our time and much of our limited resources in taking necessities to the people of Colonia. We took the name The Starfish Difference for our group because although we can't help all the poor, we can make a difference to some.
This year I went to Africa and hiked Mt. Kilimanjaro to raise money for the poor. I paid all of my own expenses and promoted it as well as I could. We are still receiving donations from people as they become aware of our efforts. We have raised more than $12,000 so far. One thing that helped raise money was my becoming the oldest hiker in the Guinness Book of World Records to do this climb.
My hiking days are winding down but I am confident that I can do this year's hiking goal; hike four peaks in four weeks. I would start with Mt. Whitney in California, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Kosciuszko in Australia, and Mt. Fuji in Japan. With skilled promotion this effort could produce a very significant amount of money. As with all donations, every penny received will go directly to the people that we are helping. One special note: Presidente (Mayor) David Figueroa of /Agua Prieta will climb Mt. Kilimanjaro with me.
With my limited income I am not in a position to finance another hiking event. It is not that I am unwilling, but my contribution so far in helping these people is well in five figures. To keep some domestic tranquility in our home I must seek outside assistance.
Please aid this effort by helping locate a sponsor and a promoter (pro bono). If we don't get a single sponsor, then 100 individuals will work. Check our donated webpage www.starfishdiffernce.org. Please help.

900 Miles from Nowhere: Voices from the Homestead Frontier
By Steven R. Kinnesella
Minnesota Historical Society Press, St. Paul, Minnesota, 2006, 206 pages, hardcover.
It was on the vast American prairie that people from around the world seized the opportunity for personal and economic freedom promised by free land. Traveling across oceans and continents, these hard-nosed, pragmatic people began arriving in the 1860s with shovels and plows, convinced they were part of something important. They were. Putting hand to plow and breaking the sod for their first crude homes, these hardy settlers left an indelible thumbprint on American history and on the country's character. Though many of their ventures ended in failure, their risks permanently enhanced the nation's diversity and its sense of independence and resourcefulness.
900 Miles from Nowhere is the heartfelt chronicle of the daily lives and personal struggles of Great Plains homesteaders, told in their own voices through many never-before-published letters, diaries, and photographs. Believing absolutely that they could control their own destiny, they bet everything they owned, even in the face of insurmountable obstacles. This is the remarkable and ever-inspiring story of life on the grasslands that stretch from Canada to Mexico.
Former press secretary to U.S. Senator Tom Daschle, Steven R. Kinsella is a news-media consultant and public affairs strategist for conservation organizations. The great-grandson of Great Plains homesteaders, Kinsella was raised on the northern prairie and now lives in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he also works as a freelance writer.

Backstabber Squarebill Crankbait
Featuring a unique design with a hook extending from the back of the bait as opposed to the belly, the Backstabber Squarebill Crankbait repels snags better than conventional lures. Specially tuned and weighted to accommodate the top hook and swim true, this hook configuration also hooks fish in the top lip - greatly increasing your odds of landing those larger fish. Available in several colors, both of the hooks on the Backstabber Squarebill Crankbait also rotate 360-degrees so fish can't leverage against the bait and bust free.

Customer Reviews
Comments: I had seen the lures for a while and wanted to try one out. A little while later I received one in my Lucky Tackle Box. It feels like a great for but trust me the action is horrible, when I took it out every time I'd pull it in it would dive to far under and to the left.
From: Sebastian: USA 8/31/15
Comments: I used this model today for the first time. On the first retrieve, the lure kept skipping out of water.I figured that the treble must have wrapped around the line, so I got it back, and saw that it was not tangled. After a dozen subsequent casts and retrievals, and having this reoccur, along with the bait making a big semicircle on the retrieve, I have decided I will be using the other crankbaits that I have. Maybe the particular model I received is not representative of the product as a whole, but I do not like this crankbait.
From: Hunter: TX 7/19/15
Comments: Silly design, save you money, crankbaits are made to deflect off cover like lay downs especially squarebills, with this bait all you will do is get hung on cover as you like the bait float up after knocking cover and with the hook on the top it takes away a ton of action. Lastly with both hooks in the back the weight is un even and that makes it not run true. Don't buy this.
From: Jack: South, USA 3/1/14
Comments: It's not that great. I used mine in a tournament and the square bill broke on something in the water. I ordered two like always and took a look at the new one. Feels cheap. Doesn't run true and for some reason the material feels cheap. I wouldn't recommend it at all.
From: Xiong: Charlotte, NC 2/24/14
Comments: I personally love this squarebill for river smallies in PA. Ive learned that if you take the back hook off you still catch just as many bass it runs true and hooks don't get tangled. If your going for smallies you gotta get the honey mustard craw its a great crawfish color plus there not use to seeing it in that shade.
From: Tyler: susquehanna river
Comments: good looking bait used mine for the 1rst time yesterday and it has good action but some times it doesn't stay true but i think its cause the hooks catch each other but will have to see if it catches bass once the water warms up

Squash grown 10,000 years ago in Peru By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID, AP Science Writer Thu Jun 28, 6:09 PM ET
WASHINGTON - Agriculture was taking root in South America almost as early as the first farmers were breaking ground in the Middle East, new research indicates. Evidence that squash was being grown nearly 10,000 years ago, in what is now Peru, is reported in Friday's edition of the journal Science.
A team led by anthropologist Tom D. Dillehay of Vanderbilt University also uncovered remains of peanuts from 7,600 years ago and cotton dated to 5,500 years ago in the floors and hearths of sites in the Nanchoc Valley of northern Peru.
"We believe the development of agriculture by the Nanchoc people served as a catalyst for cultural and social changes that eventually led to intensified agriculture, institutionalized political power and new towns in the Andean highlands and along the coast 4,000 to 5,500 years ago," Dillehay said.
Dolores Piperno, curator for archaeobotany and South American archaeology at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, said the report "adds to the accumulating data for agriculture in the Americas as old or nearly as old as that in the Old World, provides evidence for the domestication of a major species of squash native to South America, and documents ancient peanuts and quinoa."
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
the article reminds me of:
Pumpkins in China?
Reader Carlos Jimenez was puzzled to come across this sculpture of a pumpkin when visiting an exhibition of the famous Xi''An terracotta warriors from Emperor Qin Shi Huangdi''s burial complex. The objects in the exhibition are all dated to be from the Qin Dynasty (221-206BC) or the Han Dynasty (206BC-220 AD). If, as most encyclopedias will tell you, pumpkins originated in the Americas, how did this sculpture come to be part of this fascinating collection? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
They wouldn't eat it either, huh?
The earth itself is only 6,000 years old (/sarcasm).
"We believe they must have therefore been domesticated elsewhere first and then brought to this valley by traders or mobile horticulturists.
the question is: from where?
I have made a note of this.
The archaeologist at Indiana University who determined that this area was one of the world's primary points of plant domestication followed up with an invite to France to work on recently discovered caves full of paintings.
Others have continued the work of discovering just how old agriculture is in Kentuckiana (as the TV folks call it). The vast numbers of dry caves in the region give them the opportunity to find ancient seeds.
That looks more like a big squash than a pumpkin.
Earliest-known evidence of peanut, cotton and squash farming found
it's a pumpkin if you're an aussie!
Aussie Pumpkin - 'Queensland Blue'
I think they served some of that squash from Peru in the college cafateria.
Okay. That's more like it.
The researchers dated the squash from approximately 9,200 years ago, the peanut from 7,600 years ago and the cotton from 5,500 years ago.
The use of these domesticated plants goes along with broader cultural changes we believe existed at that time in this area, such as people staying in one place, developing irrigation and other water management techniques, creating public ceremonials, building mounds and obtaining and saving exotic artifacts.
so, agriculture in Peru is dated at 10 thousand YO?
There was a thread this morning about some supposedly Incan bones dating from about 1000 years ago found in Norway. It looks like the Vikings were in search of squash.
IF that 'chinese pumpkin' is really and truly from the source claimed, it does compare well with the Queensland Blue, doesn't it?
"...some supposedly Incan bones dating from about 1000 years ago found in Norway..."
I did read that, identified as 'Inca' due to a malformation of the neck in the skeleton. Without further information, that's not a whole lot to base the ID upon. I tried my best to find further info, but not much success:

Yummy yummy yummy I've got squash in my mummy...
you funny...!
10,000 year old squash served in school cafeteria.
"I didn't realize it was missing." said the schools dietician, " Squash is really nutritious and helps build healthy bones, blah, blah."
The earth is only as old as the day these people graduate from college.
It also looks something like a Surinam cherry, and probably could be said to look like a variety of other plant fruits and pods. Now if only they had carved grinning teeth and some triangle eyes in it...
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Surinam Cherry, Brazilian Cherry, or Cayenne Cherry (Eugenia uniflora) is a plant in the family Myrtaceae, native to tropical America. Known as Pitanga throughout Brazil, it is a large shrub or small tree with a conical form, growing slowly to 8 meters in height. The leaves are glossy green, up to 4 cm long, and new leaves are copper-colored. Fragrant white flowers mature into reddish fruits up to 2 cm in diameter.
If, as most encyclopedias will tell you, pumpkins originated in the Americas, how did this sculpture come to be part of this fascinating collection?
Don't know but Koreans eat a lot of pumpkin. Would be interesting to know just when pumpkin was incorporated into the Korean diet.
Aren't there gourds or squashes that LOOK like differently-colored pumpkins? I see them in markets as decoration during the autumn. Maybe it isn't a pumpkin...

Aren't we forgetting something here? Like Tite Kubo's love for parallels?
According to Grimjoww's flashback, in order for a Gillian to progress into an Adjucha a single entity has to rise among the countless entities rite? And in order for Adjucha to transform into Vastelord it needs to eat others wif similiar power levels(or higher). So if we were to take Tite Kubo's love for parallels into consideration,
When Ichigo still had his hollow inside him, he was a Gillian, because the definition for Gillian is multiple entities that mix, rite?
When Ichigo defeated his hollow self, a single entity rose through the other entity, thus he has progressed to an Adjucha class(proof for this is above)
So, now Ichigo has defeated Grimjoww(including the three-digit guy), who is his level, all he needs to do is to defeat(which is basically the same as eating, as shown when Grimjoww merely beats the other guy{I forgot the name} and Shao Long says he can no longer evolve. Before this, it was stated that if an Adjucha is eaten, it can no longer evolve) more Espada that are stronger than him and he'll progress to Vastelord class and own Aizen.

World AIDS Day / Day Without Art
World AIDS Day is an opportunity for people worldwide to unite in the fight against HIV and AIDS. It's up to you, me and us to stop the spread of HIV and end prejudice.
Day Without Art (DWA) began on December 1st 1989 as the national day of action and mourning in response to the AIDS crisis. To make the public aware that AIDS can touch everyone, and inspire positive action, some 800 U.S. art and AIDS groups participated in the first Day Without Art, shutting down museums, sending staff to volunteer at AIDS services, or sponsoring special exhibitions of work about AIDS.
Every year since artists and art institutions throughout the world have taken part in the observances, many closing or covering their artwork with black cloths for the day. While others hold special observances and performances in remembrance for those artists lost to the disease.
The theme of World AIDS Day this year is "'Universal Access and Human Rights'". What can you do today?

By Chris Kieffer/NEMS Daily Journal
TUPELO – Northeast Mississippi superintendents said receiving state help to add armed law enforcement officers to campuses could be helpful, although a proposed grant program would not cover their full costs.
On Jan. 11, Lt. Gov. Tate Reeves called for legislation to establish a $7.5 million grant program at the Mississippi Department of Education that would provide up to $10,000 to pay for a certified law enforcement officer at a public school.
Reeves' proposal was part of a plan designed to enhance school safety. He also called for Mississippi courts to be required to report findings of mental incompetence to the FBI's background check system to prevent those individuals from buying guns.
Reeves' remarks came in response to December's fatal school shooting in Connecticut. Many schools already have school resource officers, armed police officers who patrol their campuses during the school day. In some cases, local police or sheriff's departments fund those officers. In others, districts foot all or part of the bill.
The Nettleton School District currently has one such officer to patrol its two campuses and is considering adding a second, Superintendent Russell Taylor said.
Money from the proposed program would help, he said, noting his district shares its current cost with the Lee County Sheriff's Department, which provides the SRO.
"We never want to make school seem like a prison, but I think times change and with everything going on today, I agree with the proposal of putting officers at all schools," Taylor said.
"It costs a good bit more than that, but any money would help."
Lee County Superintendent Jimmy Weeks said for his district it would cost more than $30,000 to add a school resource officer, pay that person's benefits and equip him or her. Taylor said the cost to his district would be roughly the same.
Lee County currently has six armed SROs, stationed at Mooreville, Shannon, Saltillo, Guntown, Verona and the Lee County Improvement Center. The district pays the full salary of three of those and splits the cost on two others.
"I don't know if a grant program where all you'd get is $10,000 would be beneficial," Weeks said. "You won't get an armed security guard for $10,000.
"You have some districts, if you gave them $10,000, they wouldn't have enough to pay the rest. We'd also be thankful for any financial assistance we could get."
Reeves' proposal calls for the local community to fund the rest of the cost of adding such an officer. It notes that officers in the program would be required to train in the Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training program at the Mississippi Law Enforcement Officers' Training Academy, which is used by law enforcement nationwide to train officers responding to shootings.
The Mississippi Department of Education also is considering efforts to promote school safety, such as making a stronger link between accreditation requirements and school safety issues, requiring additional safety assessments and mandating more safety training for educators.
"We appreciate the work of Lt. Gov. Reeves and other elected officials who are working to make sure our schools are safe learning environments," Interim State Superintendent Lynn House said. "We share their concerns, and that's why the MDE is looking at an array of possibilities to enhance our school safety policies and procedures."
The Tupelo Public School District has five school resource officers and 16 school safety officers. The SROs are certified police officers who have been through state-mandated training and are armed. The SSOs patrol the school campuses to provide a safe environment and do not carry a weapon.
"The safety of our students and faculty is always at the forefront, and we are constantly looking for ways to make our campuses safer," Tupelo Superintendent Gearl Loden said. "At this time, I don't anticipate TPSD participating in this program due to the fact that it is significantly underfunded.
"The $10,000 would help with training, equipment, travel and supplies for these individuals in our schools, but it would not even begin to address the salary and benefits for an additional officer."
New Albany has three school resource officers for its four schools. Those at the middle and high school are funded by the police department, while the district pays for one at its alternative school.
"I would be in favor of the proposal if they appropriate new money to pay for it," New Albany Superintendent Jackie Ford said. "I'm not in favor of taking $7.5 million out of an already strapped education budget."
Ford said if the district had an additional $10,000 and could add an additional resource officer to its elementary school, it would do so.

I just recently read Far from Here by Nicole Baart. It was one of those books that after I finished reading I kept thinking about. When a book affects me like this one did I have to say it is a great book.
Danica Greene married her high school sweetheart. Etsell was the boy of her dreams and they had a wonderful marriage, despite the fact that he was a pilot and she hated flying. He owned a small plane and gave flying lessons. Without consulting Danica, Etsell decided to help out a pilot friend and take a job in Alaska. It was only for three weeks. Danica was not happy but knew she could not stand in his way. On his last flight before he returned home the plane vanished shortly after takeoff. Etsell did not register a flight plan and the search team cannot find the plane.
Despite her fear of flying Danica gets on a plane and flies to Seward Alaska. While there she finds out that Etsell might not have been alone when he went missing. A woman is also missing.
This book deals with a wife whose husband is missing. She does not know if she is a widow or an abandoned wife. Danica thinks back over her marriage and the reader learns a lot about her past good and bad.
There are a lot of colorful characters. Her mother and two older sisters are not the best choices to help her overcome her grief but they do their best. The author did an excellent job of letting the readers know the many feelings a person has in a situation where you do not know what has happened to someone you love. This would be a good book for book clubs, lots of discussion.
I am now rereading David Copperfield. The first time I read it my oldest son was six months old. It was summer and we had just bought our first home in Seattle. We had a wonderful backyard with beautiful gardens. My baby and I spent many hours outside. He playing in his playpen and me reading. For years I would tell friends that this was my favorite book. I decided I should reread to see if I still like it and yes I do!!

Skip to comments.Romney camp sides with Obama that health insurance mandate is not tax
Posted on 07/03/2012 5:06:20 AM PDT by tsowellfan
Mitt Romneys presidential campaign on Monday rejected a Republican attack on the Affordable Care Act, repudiating a contention made in last weeks Supreme Court decision that the laws requirement that individuals carry medical coverage amounts to a tax.
The Romney teams refusal to invoke the word tax with regard to the individual mandate puts the candidate at odds with others in his party at a moment when Republicans are attempting to capitalize on the Supreme Courts decision, which deemed President Obamas health-care law constitutional. Some Republican-led states are trying to thwart the legislations effort to cover the poor.
In an interview Monday on MSNBC, Romney campaign senior adviser Eric Fehrnstrom said the former Massachusetts governor disagrees with the courts ruling that the mandate was a tax.
Although disappointing to conservatives, the justices decision contained what they regard as two silver linings: the potential to fuel political opposition to the law and a path to undermine its substance.
First, in ruling that Congress has the ability under its taxation power to fine people who choose not to have health coverage, the court undercut Obamas credibility on how to define that provision. The president had insisted repeatedly that it is not a tax....
(Excerpt) Read more at washingtonpost.com ...
Romney has no choice because his on record saying this about Romney-care in the past.
I remember Coulter, Rove, McCain, Christie,... and a bunch of RINOs where I live claiming that Romney-care would not be a problem in this race against Obama and Obam-ney Care.
That's no way to run a serious campaign, Sparky.
Mr. RomneyCARE INVENTED ObamaCARE and the idiot GOP
makes Mr. RomneyCARE their figurehead EXACTLY when
America HATES RomneyCARE/ObamaCARE.
GOP = The STUPID Party
Incredible stupidity. This is why the 'Pubbies lose elections. The man isn't elected yet, and is already stabbing conservatives in the back. We are SO screwed.
Time to mutiny, the new captain of the SS GOP has no clue how to steer the ship, has out of date maps for the shoals and thinks his vessel is unsinkable.
Way to go Mitt...stop being stupid and taking a winning issue off the table.
worth repeating
taking a winning issue off the table
It matters not what the camp or Obama says. The question is decided. The argument is over. It is a Tax. The issue is decided.
If there is disagreement or disdain or hate, the remedy is not involved with what is or is not a tax. The remedy is involved in a process that tosses the tax out and doing it over in an acceptable manner.
Grumbling after the fact is irrelevant. It is a tax. The decision was handed down
Romney appears to be the typical Republican Establishment presidential candidate, in the mold of Dole/McCain/Ford. His idea os the pinnacle is the Republican Party Nomination. He seems, at best, to be indifferent to winning the presidency, perhaps even averse. The Republican Party is afflicted with Gentlemen Politicians who want the acclaim of other Republican gentlemen but not so much the onus of governing.
"Reagan-like Romney is," eh?
The argument against Obama that he passed the biggest tax increase ever based on Obamacare is weak. The fact he thinks the Federal Gov't can run health care better than the private sector and that he rammed through this unpopular socialist program remains the issue. It is what won the 2010 mid-terms. And, he ignored other pressing issues while ramming away. This is also a strong counter argument against immigration policy, economy issues, etc.
Although we all would have rather Roberts side with the conservatives on the Court, this decision will bring a lot of energy, anger and participation to those on the right. It may turn out to be the deciding factor in November. We need the Tea Partiers to get revved up again!
Romney is right - it is not, nor should have been ruled a tax. That being said, since it was ruled a tax, reconciliation works in the Senate and we only need 51 votes to overturn there- need 4 more seats. That is where the action will be!
We need Romney and 4 Senators to take back the country. During Romney's 8 years, a bunch of liberals will likely leave bench and with the Senate, we can get some real conservative appointed.
This is just the opposite of what's being reported today. They are saying today that Romney agrees it is a tax. Gov Christie says its both a tax and a penalty.
Every response on this thread, so far has bitten into the media bias, hook, line and sinker. It is leading into destructive behavior; Romney's stupid, Romney's doing what McCain did, etc, etc.
At worst, the Romney camp is guilty of not giving a clear and concise response. While that is a problem in and of itself, it is a far cry from capitulation to obama on the issue. And what is worse, Romney is right; it IS a penalty.
The Dems are trying to have it both ways; it's NOT a tax, but rather a penalty (despite what the SC says) and it's constitutional (despite what the SC says).
The Romney camp is saying, Gov. Romney has ALWAYS held that it was a penalty, and it's constitutionally legal in the state of Mass. The problem is that they haven't gone the extra step to explain how that fits with the SC ruling on the issue. Instead of lining it out in simple terms, they fumbled and assumed that people are smart enough to know the difference.
It's obvious through the response of the libs, and the dazed look on the faces of people you talk to, that Civics 101, as taught in the US education system fails teach people how it all works. And that, combined with some people's hate of Romney, or anyone else who is not a pure-strain conservative as they view themselves, is what will be the ultimate down-fall of our great nation.
My advice; teach people where they need to be taught. Die hard liberals won't listen; most everyone else will, as long as you are teaching; not preaching.
Addemdum, if what Harley posted about Romney changing his tune, then I think the Romney campaign is making a huge mistake.
I'm with you. I'm not in any way thrilled with Romney, but he's the only option on the ballot who (1) might win, and (2) claims he will repeal ObamaCare. If Romney does in fact win and keeps his word on repeal, it will not matter what he said about this being a tax or a penalty. If Romney is a loser or a liar, then things will get VERY ugly, and again it will not matter what Romney said.
IT IS A TAX. The Supreme Court said so
Thank you, bboop!
Why do peddle Lies and Propaganda from the Compost .
Rombey did not say that but the Obama media is pushing that bs.
Are you trying to help the Obama media push this talking point here and divide US and get obama elected !
I don't trust your motives here !!!
Thanks for being a voice of reason.
No clearer example of why Romney was never the best choice from the GOP field.
1. Too moderate (I want to get along)
2. His record sucks
3. Foolish to even open his mouth and utter words (He should have just said "I respect the Supreme Court's decision and will abide by it".)
4. Out-of-touch with Americans who say "IT IS A TAX, STUPID"
45. Like McCain, trying desparately to fail.
We need new leadership. Sarah, where are you?
Charles Krauthammer looked foolish on Fox's Special Report yesterday trying to explain away this stupid blunder by the Romney campaign. Get used to it, Charles. There will be more to follow.
Fehrnstrom is the idiot who made the infamous "Etch-a-sketch" comment. Judge a candidate by the advisers he keeps.
Fehrnstrom is a first class fool.
Just how pointed are the heads of Romney's advisors?
The way I see it, it's a penalty AND a tax.
Further proving he's nothing but Obama-lite.
Keep mentioning her.
Either she'll be VP in 2012, rallying all our side to vote.
Or she'll be President in 2016.
Or... Both.
Never mind the Romney campaign. Independent PACs will have to drag his pathetic arse across the finish line.
The GOP does not intend to WIN!!! That's the real issue here. They are not going to do anything except throw the fight! This is a totally rigged election, like the last one.
I've said RINOmney is a vapid dork.
Welcome to the world of Obama lite if we elect the dork.
Which, I guess, is better than another four years of the Muslim Cretin.
Regardless of what "it" is...I'm feeling penalized already...and, I haven't even refused to buy insurance yet.
It is TYRANNY!!
This is a lying bullshit article trying to say that Romney agrees with Obama on Obamacare, when he does not.
Is it an excise? No.
Is it a duty? No.
Is it an impost? No.
Is it apportioned among the several States? No.
Is it a tax on income? No.
Therefore, it is not a tax in the forms that the Constitution grants taxing power to Congress.
Republicans who are jumping on the "tax increase" bandwagon are idiots.
I dont trust your motives here !
Can you show me the link where Mitt Romney has come out against THIS biggest tax hike in American history called ObamaCare? You post it here in comments and I will post it on FR (if it does not already have its own thread). Send me the link where Romney calls this for what it really is.
The president said it was not a tax, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (Ky.) said in an interview on Fox News Sunday. The Supreme Court, which has the final say, says it is a tax.
To the headline: of course he does.
The Supreme Court, which has the final say, says it is a tax.
Ok, and Romney's advisers say he will not repeal obamaCare.
Do you have a link to that?
I'm having trouble fathoming this comment.
The phrase "tax increase" is toxic in a presidential campaign.
Regardless of whether its a fine, or a tax, or a mandate, shouldn't Romney shove the SCOTUS ruling down Obama's throat by using the phrase, now that they've salvaged his signature legislation by using the "tax increase" rationale?
I take that as a compliment coming from you :)
"Mr. P.C." McCain: How he wants our votes but not our introductions
ncalburt, Wednesday, February 27, 2008: "Dont bother rationalizing with the people suffering from McCain derangement. This crowd just looks for any excuse to trash McCain."
And that is a just a quick search.
MR is running web abs calling this a tax increase
" - - - Mitt Romneys presidential campaign on Monday rejected a Republican attack on the Affordable Care Act - - - "
What we have here is a GOP Elite-endorsed coward pretending to try to displace a Marxist Dictator in November.
Hang onto to your hat folks, as America is about to fall over the Financial Cliff!
Oops, sorry! I forgot, no politicians are talking about that yet. My bad!
Anyway, back to Romney: let us just DUMP that loser. The voters who care about the betrayal by Traitor John will remember how Romney did NOT embrace their outrage.
Romney has a great wife, great kids, great smile, and of course, great hair.
Romney's great flaw is that he is the perfect candidate - - - - to lose again to Obama in November.
Just vote to ABSTAIN on the first ballot in Tampa. Vote, BROOM, done.
Romney sides with the minority opinion, the mandate is unconstitutional. He can still hold that either it's a tax or it is unconstitutional.
And therein lies the poison pill; Roberts only ruled that the mandate represents a tax. He did not rule on what kind of tax it might be, nor on the constitutionality of the specific tax itself.
The challenge will now be focused on the tax. Since the kind/type of tax isn't specified in the original act, it may be as simple as a lower court simply declaring the tax as unconstitutional, because it doesn't meet any the criteria you listed.
If a court allows Congress to refine/define what kind/type of tax it is, and if Congress doesn't then act, it could also die. Or, it could rule that the tax falls within one of your criteria, but then that opens up a whole new set of challenges regarding exemptions, etc.
Roberts is either a genius for throwing this in the quagmire of tax details, or he lit the fuse for CWII. If we start to see the next series of legal challenges, I will stick with my opinion #1.

Well, it's Christmas Eve and many are visiting friends and family. So I thought I'd just say a quick Merry Christmas. I hope you all have a wonderful time and I'll be back Sunday I'm sure (I'm addicted to posting on here so I'll have to force myself to not post anything else for two days).
So our plans~
Today, Christmas Eve, will likely be spent with me obsessing over how I'm going to get my hands on Out For Blood (Drake Chronicles) because all the stores I've gone to haven't had it. I'll likely make a run to Borders so I can relax on Christmas Day without thinking about it. Unless Borders doesn't have it, of course.
In the evening maybe we'll watch a Christmas movie and I'll sneak upstairs and wrap the presents cause I haven't yet done that.
Christmas Day morning we'll wake up around 7 am (baby automatically does) and we'll watch the kids open their presents and I'll feel depressed cause I didn't get anything. Not anything wrapped anyway. I bought my own presents though, trust me.
Later in the day we'll go out to my in-laws and we'll spend the day eating snacks and then we always have enchilada's for dinner (yeah, they're weird). And we'll have more presents at some point. Well, the kids will anyway.
Then Sunday will be the most boring day EVER! Cause Christmas is over and there's nothing to look forward to.
Hope you all have fun!

I love Sofft
"These pumps are the tenth pair of my Sofft collection. I'm so loving this brand.I have wide feet; so although these pumps run a little tight for me, I'm sure they will work perfectly for others with normal feet shape. But even that they are a little narrow for my feet, they're still supper soft and comfy.I hope Sofft can have more cute and stylish shoes in the future. I'll definitely go for them."

Welcome Back
Reports are Sal Perez is on his way to Kansas City.
About time.
It's strange to think this way, but it just feels like the Royals are already Sal's team. He's the guy. The one they can't afford to have out of the lineup.
I mean, we're talking about a guy with 158 career major league plate appearances. How the hell can he be the big kahuna on a major league team with so little experience?
All I know is what I've read and heard discussed from various players and team officials. The guy oozes professionalism and commands respect.
As a writer with a SABR bent, I'm supposed to mock the leadership angle. (Francoeur? Too easy.) But there is no denying that something really cool started last summer when the young guys were brought up to the majors. And it kind of feels like it's been placed on hold while Perez has been rehabbing. It's been interesting to me to see the amount of respect he holds within the realm of the clubhouse. Leadership won't get you wins, but there's something about it that makes it crazy fun to watch.
Is Sal the Savior? I don't think so. Defensively, he's going to be awesome. As long as his knee holds. And I seriously doubt the Royals would be putting him behind the plate if he wasn't 100 percent ready.
I know many of you are excited by his offensive performance from last season, but there was nothing in his minor league history to indicate he was capable of that. He finished with a line of .331/.361/.473, which was just insane. Yes, he was hitting .340/.365/.380 in Omaha, but I really don't think we can insert him into the lineup and expect those kind of numbers.
He will be a huge upgrade over the Pena/Quintero tandem, though. And that's good enough for me.
If Sal is behind home plate tonight, it will feel like Opening Day, Part 2. Welcome home, Sal.
The Bases Are Drunk. A lot.
Jonathan Sanchez has faced 15 batters with the bases loaded – defined as "grand slam opportunities" by Baseball Reference. That's the second most in the American League this year. The Rangers Yu Darvish has the most in the AL with 16. Interesting. Especially given the fact that Sanchez has thrown 36 innings. Darvish has twirled 89 innings.
Fortunately, in each grand slam opportunity, Sanchez has kept the ball in the yard. Still, 15 opportunities in 36 innings… And you thought Jonathan Broxton pitched on a tightrope.
Sanchez has contributed the lion's share of the Royals league leading total of pitching with 74 grand slam opportunities. Fortunately, they've surrendered just a single slam.
The Twins – with the worst pitching in the league – have faced just 42 grand slam opportunities.
I have no idea what this means…
High Leverage Pen
Not only is the Royals bullpen really good, they've been doing it under tremendous pressure. According to Baseball Reference, the bullpen's average Leverage Index (aLI) is 1.094, which is tops in the league. In fact, only three bullpens have an aLI greater than 1, which is "average" pressure.
Royals – 1.094
Tigers – 1.058
Orioles – 1.054
The Orioles have the best bullpen in the league, according to ERA at 2.38. I'm thinking the high leverage combined with the quality of performance is a huge reason the O's are leading the uber competitive AL East. The Tigers bullpen ERA is 3.89, which is the second worst rate in the league, better than only the Indians. So I'm thinking the high leverage combined with the poor performance (relative to the league) is a reason the Tigers are scuffling.
The Royals may blow that hypothesis out of the water. Their bullpen ERA of 2.93 is seventh best in the AL, yet they're nipping at the heels of the Tigers.
It boils down to the offense. The Royals are plating just 3.88 runs per game, while the tigers are scoring 4.4 per contest. That difference of 0.5 runs per game may be enough to offset the Royals bullpen advantage.
I still think the Tigers are the favorites in the Central. But they'll need their pen to improve. Meanwhile, in a weak division, it's the pen keeping the Royals in the hunt. If they can get their offense to pick up, they'll be able to prevent the Tigers from gaining separation.
It's a simplistic analysis, but sometimes the simple things help you gain the most clarity.
I may be coming around on this whole contention thing.

|In response to Re: Remodeling
: : After my husband told me I was on my own for all the little honey dos on my list, I enlisted the help of a man that I work with. To make a very long story short, he replaced my Delta One handle tub & shower faucet and back plate. After he was out of the house I saw that there is at least a 1/4 gape between the faucet and shower wall(Plus he grouted behind it but there is still a big opening). Now, when I turn on the shower some water drips from the faucet as well as the stem that pushes in to turn the shower on. This is an older house( 20 years) . The stem is located inside the shower handle plate. What is causeing this leak. The old stuff worked just fine but it was ugly. Please help a woman who knows nothing.
: : Thank You,
: : Deb
: The old cover plate was probably bigger than the new one and the original tile hole was made for that shower valve unless the guy that put the new valve in got it just a little higher than the old one and its now off center.If there is more than enough space on the top and the bottom part of the hole is showing you have to cut off just that much of the hot and cold risers( the 1/2 inch copper supplies on either side of the valve) and use slip couplings and re-solder them. Also if you take off any from the risers you have to also take off the same amount on the bottom that goes to the tub spout. Also you have to Add that much to the riser to the shower head( the pipe that goes to the shower head) I hate shower valve repair because I'm chicken and I freak out when soldering inside a wall with very litttle space and I can't see what's going on inside tell him to keep a spray bottle handy and keep soaking down the drywall and studs. Be a safe "wuss" and not a homeless Rambo.
Thanks Steve I will relay the message. The plate look the sime size and there was a genours hole around all the vaules on the inside. This sounds complicated.

Consumer Energy Center - Fuel Cells For Electricity
Fuel cell technology is "space-age technology" brought down to earth. Fuel cell technology dates back to the 1800s, but it was not until the end of the 20th century that it was used successfully in spacecraft to provide electricity and water. The technology can be used to make electricity to power vehicles, homes, and businesses. And if you use a renewable energy source as the main source of hydrogen, a fuel cell can be considered a renewable energy source.
Unlike conventional technologies, fuel is not "burned" but is combined in a chemical process. A fuel cell consists of two electrodes sandwiched around an electrolyte. Oxygen passes over one electrode and hydrogen over the other, generating electricity, water, and heat.
Hydrogen fuel is fed into the "anode" of the fuel cell. Oxygen (or air) enters the fuel cell through the cathode. Encouraged by a catalyst, the hydrogen atom splits into a proton and an electron, which take different paths to the cathode. The proton passes through the electrolyte. The electrons create a separate current that can be utilized before they return to the cathode, to be reunited with the hydrogen and oxygen in a molecule of water.
A fuel cell system that includes a "fuel reformer" can obtain hydrogen from any hydrocarbon fuel - from natural gas, methanol, and even gasoline. Other possible fuels include propane, hydrogen, anaerobic digester gas from wastewater treatment facilities, and landfill gas.
Fuel cells are being designed for use in stationary electric power plants to provide reliable, clean, high quality electricity for distributed power generation. These small systems can provide primary or backup power to commercial and industrial customers such as hotels, hospitals, manufacturing facilities, and retail shopping centers. Eventually, smaller fuel cells will be sold for use in homes, most of which will connect to natural gas supplies.
For industries that require high quality uninterruptable power, such as the computer technology industry, fuels cells can provide power without disruptions or voltage distortions.
In addition to electricity, customers can take advantage of the heat from the fuel cell and use it for hot water, space heating and cooling, and industrial processes.
Fuel Cell Types
Fuel cells are categorized according to the type of electrolyte used. Some of the these include:
- Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM) fuel cells were used in the "Gemini" space craft missions and designed by DuPont. A solid polymer ion exchange membrane is used as an electrolyte. Platinum Ruthenium is used as the catalyst. PEM fuel cells are being tested in mobile sources such as buses and smaller vehicles.
- Platinum is used as the catalyst in Phosphoric Acid fuel cells, one of the most mature fuel cells (and which relies upon aqueous phosphoric acid as an electrolyte).
- Alkaline fuel cells are one of the oldest types of fuel cells. They, too, rely upon platinum (or palladium) as the catalyst for a potassium hydroxide electrolyte.
All three of the above fuel cell types operate at temperatures that require that conversion of fuel to hydrogen occur outside of the fuel cell. This approach introduces a level of complexity avoided by the following two fuel cell designs:
- Molten carbonate fuel cells rely upon nickel-based catalysts (and molten carbonates as electrolytes) and can operate at higher temperatures. Reforming the fuel into hydrogen can occur inside the fuel cell. Most of the larger fuel cells on the market today rely upon this approach.
- The Solid Oxide fuel cell relies upon a coated zirconia ceramic as the electrolyte, which translates into the ability to operate at even higher temperatures that can support fuel formulation within the fuel cell. No catalyst at all is required. This technology is the least mature of the fuel cell types currently on the market. Nevertheless, it offers the promise of reduced cost and greater quantities of thermal heat for use at the installation site.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Love the Baby Rage Craws! I fish a river with an abundance of crawfish that don't grow very large. after having prior success on the original Rage Craw, I gave these a shot. All I can say is WOW! Sometimes you just need to downsize to make a world of difference and the Strike King Baby Rage Craw does just that!
From: Christian: Lake City, FL 2/13/17
Comments: I use them alot as a jig trailer, they sure catch alot of fish, but they dont last long. Even if its not getting bit, the claws will starts to tear off from being retrieved for so long, not to mention ifmthe fish are biting they might catch 2-3 fish before its no good. Im looking for something tomlast longer with the same effectiveness. Brush hogs and other bulkier trailers seem to hold up through out the day quite well in comparison
From: Joe: MD 6/10/14
Comments: Great smallmouth/finesse option but I am excited to replace this (mostly/hopefully) in clear water situations with the Rage DB craw...subtle...Both good options. IT's pretty slim and small. Try a pack or two. Good finesse jig/eakins jig/casting jig/small football jig trailer!!!
From: Tanner: The Riv, MA
Comments: 3 inchies of dynamite !!! I use this bait whit a 3/16 ounce tungsten weight near to the cover and it works very well!!
From: Gabriele: Italy
Comments: This is a money maker. I have caught 3 pounders on pressured waters with this bait. I tend to notice I catch more fish rigging it weightless. The only downside, is that they don't last too long. After 3-4 fish it's time to put on a new one.
From: Samuel: Charlotte, North Carolina, USA
Comments: great bait works every way you can thinck of. Ive fished it as a top water, jig trailer shaky head any way you want. Hard candy color makes a great bluegill color even caught crappie and big trout on them
From: Jason: Vermont
Comments: I put this on a 1/4 oz SK finesse football jig and use it to fish ultra-clear water near home. They eat it deep and shallow. I really like it to sight fish for fall time smallies.
From: Bronzeye, MI
Comments: Put it on a scrounger head and it's irresistible to smallmouth.
From: Ian: Honey Grove, PA
Comments: Good as a jig trailer
Comments: this is a vary small craw bait and everything hits it bass perch blue gill rock bass and the acasional picral
Comments: My favorite bait to drag along the bottom. Great Texas rigged and on a jig head. Smallmouth crush this thing. if they don't hit it on the bottom they will nail it on a slow swim back to the boat. Has great action on top of the water too. Very soft and not very durable, but they will produce.
From: Mark: Spokane, WA
Comments: Great early spring/spawn bait. I fish them on a 1/8 Spot Remover stand up jig head, usually in Green Pumpkin or Watermelon Red flake. Also a great jig trailer and work very well in tough/high pressure conditions. An all around great bait!
From: Mike: LaGrange, IN
Comments: These are my go to for fishing streams for smallmouth and spotted bass. These are the best craw trailers out there. Without a doubt the one bait I can not do without.
From: Matt: Columbus, OH
Comments: These things just flat out catch fish, and big ones too. Great for high-pressured waters.
