Arthritis is a term used to refer to more than 100 different diseases that cause pain, swelling and limited movement in joints and their connective tissue. According to the Arthritis Foundation, 43 million people in the United States, or as many as one in six people, suffers from some form of the condition. Most forms of arthritis are chronic, meaning they continue for a long time, significantly affecting the lifestyles of those living with it.
Arthritis is a condition that results from the wearing down of cartilage, the tissue that pads bones in a joint. Some researchers believe that when the joints are unable to react properly to stress, the cartilage is damaged, leading to the development of this arthritis. It can affect joints in almost any part of the body, from the hands to the knees. Some forms cause changes you can see and feel, such as swelling, warmth and redness in your joints. In some cases, the pain and swelling may only last a short period of time, but are very intense. Other cases cause fewer noticeable symptoms, but may inflict damage on joints slowly over a long period of time.
When all ages are considered, a similar percentage of men and women have arthritis; however, it affects them in different ways. In women, hands, knees, ankles and feet seem to be more directly affected, while in men, symptoms are more likely to appear in the hips, wrist and spine. Women are also more likely to experience symptoms in more than one joint than are men. With early diagnosis and a specialized treatment program, however, the painful symptoms of most types of arthritis can be managed successfully.
The two most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Among seniors, OA is the most frequent form, which currently affects more than 20 million Americans, most of whom are women over the age of 45. It starts when cartilage becomes thin and begins to wear away. When OA is at its worst, all of the cartilage breaks down, leaving bones to rub against each other. This condition is most likely to occur in the hands, neck, lower back, knees and hips. Other joints affected may include the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and ankles, but this occurs less frequently. When OA is found in these joints, it is usually due to an injury or an unusual amount of stress to the area.
Some people with OA may experience symptoms such as stiffness and mild pain during activities like walking and bending, while others may experience severe joint pain on a more consistent basis, even during periods of rest. OA usually comes on slowly. In the early stages of the disease, joints may ache only after physical work or exercise. Many times people with arthritis do not experience any symptoms in the initial stages of the disease, as it often takes a long time to progress.
OA is hard to prevent, as the most common risk factor for developing it is simply growing older. Some experts believe the cause depends on which part of the body is affected. OA in the hands and hips, for instance, may be genetic and OA in the knees may be linked to being overweight. Other factors that may increase your risk of developing OA include:
The other most common form of arthritis, RA (rheumatoid arthritis), differs from osteoarthritis in many ways. RA is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's natural immune system does not operate as it should. With RA, the body actually attacks the lining of its own joint (or joints) just like it would if it were trying to protect itself from injury or disease. When a person has a splinter, for example, the skin around the splinter becomes inflamed - swollen, red and painful. RA causes inflammation of the joint, causing pain, stiffness and swelling that can last for hours at a time. Like OA, RA can affect several different joints, from the fingers and wrists to the neck and shoulders. RA not only damages joints; it can also attack organs such as the heart, muscles and eyes.
Approximately 21 million adults in the United States currently suffer from RA. It is two to three more time likely to affect women than men, and can occur at any age, generally between the ages of 20 and 50.
Symptoms of RA tend to include joint tenderness, inflammation, pain, warmth and swelling. Fatigue and the occasional fever are also associated with RA. In addition to inflammation of the joints, it can also cause inflammation of the tear glands, salivary glands, the lining of the heart, and the lungs. An interesting difference to note between OA and RA is that if you have an inflamed joint on one side of your body, you will likely have the same pain on the other side. RA in the left knee, for example, also affects the right knee. While RA is a chronic disease, symptoms may come and go. Periods of worsening symptoms are called flare-ups.
The cause of RA is unknown, but experts believe a number of factors may contribute to its development. Like OA, genetic factors may play a role. Environmental factors may also have something to do with the development of RA, as well. Research has also shown that the condition can be triggered by an infection, although RA is not contagious.

My lo is 2 weeks away from turning 6 months old. She has her raking grasp down to a pat. She is grabbing everything in her site. Hair, lips, eye lids, and neck fat It was cute at first but as she's getting stronger she is starting to hurt people. I've started say ouch, be nice. No no no, let go. In a nice voice, but repeaditly. I'm unsure of what to do. I know the raking grasp is important to her development but I don't want her hurting other individuals. She is an increadible sensitive baby and very high needs. Should I wait until she's older to start discouraging her from this behaviour? Will she grow out of this stage? I would greatly appriciate any suggestions you experienced mama's out there

this sounds very normal and all part of learning about the world. yes, she'll outgrow this soon. when she does something that hurts and gentle, "ouch, hurts mommy." and then quickly redirect her to something else to grab--your hand, fingers, a small toy, etc. Most folks will understand that babies are "grabbers" and it's a normal part of development. I kept my hair tied back and watch for hands moving toward my glasses. Good luck!

you're right, she's not intentionally trying to hurt anyone, she doesn't understand that yet. i think having a grabbing toy on hand as much as possible is a good idea. when she grabs you, gently say "that hurts" and offer her the toy. she's also probably discoverin different textures and shapes. try to give her plenty of time w/ varying objects to explore.
That type of grabbing is very important to an infant's neurological development. They are learning dexterity and developing motor skills. My son loved to pull the hair on my arms (still does) and I would let him until it began to hurt, then I would re-direct with a toy with texture. I chose nnot to use 'no' for this one because it is only a phase they go through (read some of DR. Sears' writings on saying 'no')By letting them do it they will develop the ability to grab individual hairs which is a great sign. I realize that when she is grabbing your hair and skin it hurts, they do learn to soften their grasp. Oh, and keep her nails cut, otherwise you'll have cuts everywhere she grabs

I agree w/ the PP. The other thing I might suggest is a nursing necklace. It is great for them to grab ahold, regardless of if you are nursing or not!

(April 03) Today we're celebrating . . . Mothering Sunday (UK)Sunday, April 3rd, 2011
Mothering Sunday (UK)
Although it is often called Mothers' Day, it is not the same holiday-nor does it share the same origins-as the American Mother's Day.
In England, Mothering Sunday has a church-based origin. Most English churchgoers attend the nearest parish to their home, which is colloquially referred to as their "daughter church". Historically, it was considered important for people to return to their "mother church"-either the church they grew up in or the main Cathedral in their area-at least once during the year. It became customary, therefore, that people would make this return visit on the forth Sunday of Lent…
…Historically, children would give their mothers small gifts on Mothering Sunday-usually wild flowers they picked on the way to church. Today, much like in the American version of Mother's Day, children give presents, flowers, and cards to their mums.*

|In response to Re: Outdoor spiggot won't turn on
: : : I have 2 outdoor spiggots in my house that are on a seperate hard water line that branches off of the main line before it goes into the water softener. This hard water line splits at a 'T' and one direction goes to one spiggot and the other direction goes to the second spiggot. My problem is that 1 of my spiggots turns on and water flows but the second one doesn't do anything. The valve on the spiggot opens and shuts properly because I am able to insert a piece of 12 guage wire into it so I can tell it is open yet no water flows. There are no shut off valves between the 'T' and this spiggot. I'm really baffled by this. How can I not have water flowing? Could there be an obstruction in my 1/2" copper line somewhere? That seems hard for me to believe. Ideas and suggestions greatly appreciated. Cookin; Obviously,since you say both valves are on the same line, the pipe is clogged between the TEE and the outside valve. Was there ever water coming out of this valve? It could be since it's hard water, you got some deposit build-up in the line (but very unlikely)

This information in Spanish (en español)
Lung disease refers to disorders that affect the lungs, the organs that allow us to breathe. Breathing problems caused by lung disease may prevent the body from getting enough oxygen. Examples of lung diseases are:
Lung disease is a major concern for women. The number of U.S. women diagnosed with lung disease is on the rise. More women are also dying from lung disease.
Three of the most common lung diseases in women are asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and lung cancer.
Asthma is a chronic (ongoing) disease of the airways in the lungs called bronchial tubes. Bronchial tubes carry air into and out of the lungs. In people with asthma, the walls of these airways become inflamed (swollen) and oversensitive. The airways overreact to things like smoke, air pollution, mold, and many chemical sprays. They also can be irritated by allergens (like pollen and dust mites) and by respiratory infections (like a cold). When the airways overreact, they get narrower. This limits the flow of air into and out of the lungs and causes trouble breathing. Asthma symptoms include wheezing, coughing, and tightness in the chest.
Women are more likely than men to have asthma and are more likely to die from it. The percentage of women, especially young women, with asthma is rising in the United States. Researchers are not sure why. Many experts think that air pollution and allergens play a role in this increase. Breathing tobacco smoke also is linked to an increased risk of asthma.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to chronic obstructive bronchitis and emphysema. These conditions often occur together. Both diseases limit airflow into and out of the lungs and make breathing difficult. COPD usually gets worse with time.
A person with COPD has ongoing inflammation of the bronchial tubes, which carry air into and out of the lungs. This irritation causes the growth of cells that make mucus. The extra mucus leads to a lot of coughing. Over time, the irritation causes the walls of the airways to thicken and develop scars. The airways may become thickened enough to limit airflow to and from the lungs. If that happens, the condition is called chronic obstructive bronchitis.
In emphysema, the lung tissue gets weak, and the walls of the air sacs (alveoli) break down. Normally, oxygen from the air goes into the blood through these air sac walls. In a person with emphysema, the ruined air sac walls means less oxygen can pass into the blood. This causes shortness of breath, coughing, and wheezing.
More than twice as many women as men are now diagnosed with chronic bronchitis. The rate of emphysema among women has increased by 5 percent in recent years but has decreased among men. And more women have died from COPD than men every year since 2000. Researchers are trying to understand why. Cigarette smoking, a main cause of COPD, has increased among women. One theory is that cigarette smoke is more damaging to women than to men.
Lung cancer is a disease in which abnormal (malignant) lung cells multiply and grow without control. These cancerous cells can invade nearby tissues, spread to other parts of the body, or both. The two major kinds of lung cancer are named for the way the cells look under a microscope. They are:
In the United States, more women now die from lung cancer than from any other type of cancer. Tobacco use is the major cause of lung cancer.
Less common lung problems that affect women include:
Experts don't know the causes of all types of lung disease, but they do know the causes of some. These include:
Some diseases that affect the lungs, like the flu, are caused by germs (bacteria, viruses, and fungi).
Early signs of lung disease are easy to overlook. Often, an early sign of lung disease is not having your usual level of energy.
The signs and symptoms can differ by the type of lung disease. Common signs are:
Make sure to call your doctor if you have any of these symptoms.
Asthma can be hard to diagnose. The signs of asthma can seem like the signs of COPD, pneumonia, bronchitis, pulmonary embolism, anxiety, and heart disease.
Common symptoms of asthma are:
To diagnose asthma, the doctor asks about your symptoms and what seems to trigger them, reviews your health history, and does a physical exam.
To confirm the diagnosis, the doctor may do other tests, such as:
Asthma is a chronic disease. Medicines can be used to treat asthma, but they cannot cure it. You can help control your symptoms by working with your doctor to set up and then follow a personal asthma action plan. The plan will include possible medications and ways to avoid things that trigger your asthma.
Your asthma action plan will show:
Taking medicines
Asthma medicines work by opening the lung airways. The medicines used to treat asthma fall into two groups: long-term control and quick relief.
Long-term control medicines are to be taken every day, usually over a long period of time. They help prevent symptoms from starting. Once symptoms occur, they do not give quick relief. These medicines include:
Quick-relief medicines are used only when needed. These include short-acting inhaled beta2-agonists and short-acting bronchodilators, like albuterol and pirbuteral. Quick-relief medicines often relieve symptoms in minutes. They do this by quickly relaxing tightened muscles around the airways. They are taken when symptoms worsen to prevent a full-blown asthma attack and to stop attacks once they have started.
Avoid things that make your asthma worse. Common asthma triggers are tobacco smoke, animal dander, dust mites, air pollution, mold, and pollens. You can try "fragrance-free" products if your asthma is triggered by fragrances. Talk to your doctor about allergy shots if your asthma symptoms are linked to allergens that you cannot avoid. The shots may lessen or prevent the symptoms but will not cure the asthma. You can reduce your exposure to air pollution by limiting your outdoor activities on days when the air quality in your neighborhood is poor.
If you have asthma and may become pregnant, talk to your doctor. Only in very severe cases might asthma be a reason to avoid becoming pregnant.
If you have asthma and become pregnant, you and your doctor can discuss the safety of your medicines. Changes in the medicines can sometimes make good sense. It is very important to manage your asthma symptoms when you are pregnant. Asthma that gets out of control can harm your baby.
You should also talk with your doctor about getting a flu shot. Flu can be very serious for anyone with asthma, but it's even more of a concern for pregnant women with asthma.
People with COPD have symptoms that develop very slowly over many years. As a result, many people ignore these symptoms until their disease has reached an advanced stage. COPD can be easily diagnosed and can be managed.
The symptoms of COPD include:
If you have some or all of these symptoms, make sure to talk to your doctor.
To find out if you have COPD, the doctor will:
The main test to check for COPD is spirometry. For this test, you will be asked to take a deep breath and blow as hard as you can into a tube that is connected to a spirometer. This machine measures how much air you breathe out and how fast.
Other tests can include:
Damage to the lungs cannot be repaired. The disease can be slowed by avoiding certain exposures, though. For smokers, the best approach is to stop smoking. You should also limit your exposure to smoke, dust, fumes, and irritating vapors at home and work. Also limit outdoor activities during air pollution alerts. Treatment can relieve symptoms. Common medicines are:
For patients with COPD, doctors may also recommend:
Usually there are no warning signs of early lung cancer. By the time most people with lung cancer have symptoms, the cancer has become more serious.
Symptoms of lung cancer may include:
In addition, you may feel very tired, have a loss of appetite, or unexplained weight loss. If you have symptoms of lung cancer, it's important to talk to your doctor. The doctor will ask about your health history, smoking history, and exposure to harmful substances. He or she will also do a physical exam and may suggest some tests.
Common tests for diagnosis of lung cancer include:
Testing for cancer before a person has any symptoms is called screening. Screening may help find cancers early, when they may be easier to treat.
Many studies show that screening smokers with x-rays or sputum cytology does not save lives. But recently a major study showed that CT scans of older people who smoke a lot (or used to smoke a lot) can save lives. You can learn more about the results of the study, which is called the National Lung Screening Trial. Experts are still working to figure out who should get CT screening. There are risks and benefits to screening for lung cancer.
For now, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) makes no recommendation either for or against routine screening for lung cancer. If you're concerned about your lung cancer risk, talk to your doctor about whether screening is right for you. Of course, the best way to reduce your risk of lung cancer is not to smoke.
Sometimes lung cancer treatments are used to try to cure the cancer. Other times, treatments are used to stop the cancer from spreading and to relieve symptoms.
Your specific treatment will depend on:
Your doctor may recommend one treatment or a combination of treatments.
Surgery is used to remove the lung tissue that has the cancerous tumor. Sometimes a large part of a lung or all of it is removed. When the cancer has not spread, surgery can cure the patient.
Radiation therapy uses a machine to aim high-energy x-rays at the tumor. This energy kills cancer cells. Radiation therapy can relieve pain and make a person feel better.
Chemotherapy uses medicine to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy medicines can be given through a vein or taken as a pill.
Targeted therapy uses medicine to block the growth and spread of cancer cells. It can be given through a vein or taken as a pill.

Ephedrine and Blood Glucose
Ephedrine and Blood Glucose
Here's one quick example from Pubmed emphasis mine:
Enhanced stimulant and metabolic effects of combined ephedrine and caffeine.
* Haller CA,
* Jacob P 3rd,
* Benowitz NL.
Department of Medicine, Division of Clinical Pharmacology, University of California, San Francisco, CA 94143, USA. email@example.com
OBJECTIVE: Herbal weight loss and athletic performance-enhancing supplements that contain ephedrine and caffeine have been associated with serious adverse health events. We sought to determine whether ephedrine and caffeine have clinically significant pharmacologic interactions that explain these toxicities. METHODS: Sixteen healthy adults ingested 25 mg ephedrine, 200 mg caffeine, or both drugs in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled crossover study. Plasma and urine samples were collected over a 24-hour period and analyzed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry for ephedrine and caffeine concentrations. Heart rate, blood pressure, and subjective responses were recorded. Serum hormonal and metabolic markers were serially measured during a 3-hour fasting period. RESULTS: Ephedrine plus caffeine increased systolic blood pressure (peak difference, 11.7 +/- 9.4 mm Hg; compared with placebo, P =.0005) and heart rate (peak difference, 5.9 +/- 8.8 beats/min; compared with placebo, P =.001) and raised fasting glucose, insulin, free fatty acid, and lactate concentrations. Ephedrine alone increased heart rate and glucose and insulin concentrations but did not affect systolic blood pressure. Caffeine increased systolic blood pressure and plasma free fatty acid and urinary epinephrine concentrations but did not increase heart rate. Compared with ephedrine, caffeine produced more subjective stimulant effects. Clinically significant pharmacokinetic interactions between ephedrine and caffeine were not observed. Women taking oral contraceptives had prolonged caffeine elimination (mean elimination half-life, 9.7 hours versus 5.0 hours in men; P =.05), but sex differences in pharmacodynamic responses were not seen. CONCLUSIONS: The individual effects of ephedrine and caffeine were modest, but the drugs in combination produced significant cardiovascular, metabolic, and hormonal responses. These enhanced effects appear to be a result of pharmacodynamic rather than pharmacokinetic interactions.

^^pulled this form Tnation. I have heard about this before. Now I know the aspirin may help with the spikes in cystolic BP but does anyone think the increases in blood glucose while using EC/ECA is something to worry about. (non diabetics?)
- Black coffee w/ no additives = zero rise in glucose
- Black coffee w/ Stevia = a 2 point rise in glucose
- Black coffee w/ Splenda = a 5 - 8 point rise in glucose.
- Coffee w/ Splenda & generic Coffee Mate creamer = 15+ point rise in glucose
- Coffee w/ Splenda & 2% Lactose free Milk = 17+ point rise in glucose
The take home message for you is that caffeine in a cup of coffee does not effect blood glucose BUT the additives sure as heck do!
How do you reduce the rise in blood glucose w/ these additives (besides the obvious)? ....add FIBER.
So ingesting 2 grams of Psyllium Husk powder just prior to drinking Coffee w/ Splenda & Coffee Mate creamer resulted in only a 4 point rise in blood glucose. WOW!
I have never done any monitoring of blood glucose after taking ephedrine or ephedrine+caffeine but I don't imagine that it would be that high. But if it were or if it is a concern of yours add FIBER and it should reduce the blood glucose spike.
thats very interesting..... I will do that. But I thought that the issue was that ephedrine and caffeine were KEEPING blood glucose elevated for some reason.... I really dont think its something I will worry about to any large degree. But just an inquiry.
hey dat,
have you ever measured the blood glucose response to BCAA or the popular BCAA product Xtend.? that would be interesting to note considering many including myself sip on it throughout the day.
The additives in the coffee are contributing to a BG increase because they contribute positive calories. I thought that Stevia was zero calorie however a 2 pt change on a ng/dL scale could just be error. Splenda contains maltodextrin.
Ephedrine, on the other hand is related to adrenaline, which triggers glucose release. Caffeine does not.
Glucophage XR, aka extended release metformin HCl can help control blood glucose levels by reducing an increase in BG from breaking down glycogen.
A coffee berry extract does this, too. I've seen it offered through Life Extension.
My tests were more about the additives then the caffeine. However as a non-diabetic a cup of black coffee has zero effect on my blood glucose...in fact in moderation (say 4 spaced out cups a day) it has zero effect on my blood glucose. This is from multiple testing of coffee ingestion at least an hour after a meal.
I would be surprised if moderate black coffee drinking effected glucose levels in others...at least to any significant degree.
Nitrox is absolutely right that your body will thank you for it!
From the textbook Biochemical and Physiological Aspects of Human Nutrition, Stipanuk et al. ed. 2000
Insulin ...is secreted in response to changes in circulating glucose; a change of as little as 2mg/100ml of plasma can be detected by the pancreas. Insulin release can also be stimulated in response to certain amino acids in the circulation. Other important signals for insulin secretion include gut hormones and nervous stimulation. - p395
In adipose tissue insulin increases fatty acid uptake and triacylglycerol storage via increases in lipoprotein lipase activity, and at the same time decreases lipolysis by decreasing hormone-sensitive lipase activity. The latter may be one of insulin's strongest actions because it occurs at very low insulin levels and effectively lowers the levels of free fatty acids in the circulation thereby decreasing there utilization as fuel. - p396
The use of fiber probably has no effect on glucose triggered by ephedrine or large amounts of caffeine but it will if used w/ food that triggers glucose rise.
Again from the textbook Biochemical and Physiological Aspects of Human Nutrition, Stipanuk et al. ed. 2000
Soluable viscous polysaccharides [certain fibers] can delay and even interfere with the absorption of nutrients...
Positive benefits of delayed nutrient absorption include an improvement of glucose tolerance and a lowering of serum cholesterol levels. Delayed absorption of carbohydrates results in a lower postprandial (following a meal) glucose level. In general the more viscous the fiber the greater the effect on blood glucose. This is similiar to the effect seen with eating several small meals rather than one large meal. When glucose is absorbed in small amounts over an extended period, such as seen with viscous fibers, the insulin response is attenuated (Pick, et al. (1996) Oat bran concentrate bread products improve long term control of diabetes: A pilot study J. Am Diet Assoc 96:1254-1261)
Viscosity of the polysaccharides and their ability to form gels in the stomach appear to slow gastric emptying. This in turn results in a more uniform presentation of the meal to the small intestine for absorption. [Poorly soluable fibers that do not form gels such as wheat and cellulose have little effect...unlike those that do which include guar gum, pectin, psyllium, oat bran.] - p146. 147
I have found IGF-1 when NOT used in conjunction with other peptides like pegMGF usuefull for exactly what you mentioned above, as well as its connective tissue healing abilities. I notice also that my finger and toe nails grow noticeably faster even when on 10mcg EOD to E3D.....
for keeping blood glucose down to prevent fat gain I think I would respond better to 10mcg ED. the E3D seems to inconsistent for my body. to each his own
...here we are a couple years later and practical experience by a LOT of users (mostly off this board) has proved you correct on that point.
Now those users more in tune w/ their bodies have come to realize that IGF-1 LR3 isn't really DIRECTLY responsible for overall muscle growth...so once again you were way ahead of the curve on that one.
A few years ago the only trainers saying use small amounts (if at all) were Muscle trainee and Dave Palumbo...
Lake, have you ever used the nonLR3 IGF-1 (IGF-1 RH)? Maybe pinned that one 3 times a day and then compared it to the LR3 version...
I was wondering if the IGF-1 RH might prove to be better...I have seen a few claim so.
Well as nerdy as I was and as much damn research as I did on that damn compound I would have hoped I was somewhat right lol. I literally studied that stuff all day, it absolutely intrigued me at the time. Dave palumbo was saying it but there was something about his dosing that was insane and I forgot what it was.
I had definitely told people that PEG-MGF was going to go systemic, the stuff was just too damn stable. I mean that isn't a bad thing by any means, but with that half life you have to expect it to go systemic. There is a reason why regular MGF's half life is so short, it only needs to act on the cells right next to where it is secreted pretty much, it has no reason to last long in the body.
As for the RH IGF-1 I have never used it. The stuff is so expensive that it is far too hard to just buy some up and test it out ya know.
Yea I have used LR3 for a while, using different protocols. Any time I used it I got the following result: increase in appetite that eventually normalizes, smoother PCT recovery, Significant impact on connective tissue repair (I had a few tendon issues) and that is about it. I agree that LR3 is not responsible to site specific growth, and I am not so sure that using it the way we have been causes any muscle growth.
I have heard conflicting things. I have heard that ECA can increase BG concentrations and YET people say avoid using insulin when using Ephedrine.......this doesnt make sense to me. what if using slin ONLY PWO? I mean.. if insulin shuttles glucose OUT of the bloodstream and ECA increases blood glucose concentrations than if anything it could only help...?
The body wants to maintain a stable BG level of around 90 ng/dL. Anything above that is deemed excess energy and triggers a storage response of insulin until it returns to 90. Below that level (caused by activity), down to about 72, there is insufficient circulating energy and glucagon is released to catabolize stored energy. Below that is considered critical and the body then releases epinephrine (adrenaline) to quickly release stored energy to get levels back to normal.
Ephedrine produces adrenaline-like effects. Dosing insulin at the same time basically tells your body to do two opposing things at once.
If you're taking your ephedrine before your workout, the increased activity will probably use up any above baseline BG anyhow.
Also taking a small dose of insulin (even say 1 iu of Humalog) can be too much for a non-diabetic. Say you measure your BG and it is slightly high, you have no idea how much natural insulin your own body is currently putting out - remember your body wants to get back to baseline and has its own ability to get there. Say your body is already producing 1 iu and you just add another. Now you've taken too much, your BG will now drop below baseline and now your body has to go catabolic to adjust back the other way. Worst case scenario is that you way overcompensate and without dietary carbohydrate to offset, BG tanks to a disastrous level because while your body can turn off its own 'bolus' insulin when levels tank but it can't change that which you inject.
Personally I don't think that the benefits of recreational insulin use outweight the costs/risks. I think those who are on large AAS doses and competing can justify it since they are already sacrificing their health for their careers. However I do think that it is a very poor idea for a non-diabetic to try and manage his or her BG levels by using insulin. You just have no way of telling how much your body is already producing.
If you are going to use it then make sure you take it with an appropriate amount of food (carbs) but that is different from BG control. I know I sound like a broken record but I can't overemphasize the complexities and risks involved.

The Style: What to Wear for Fall
Everyone was wondering, how would Tom Ford register the Nineties redux? Would he even? The answer, well, sort of. Yes, there were faint homages to his own slick and sexy oeuvre of the late Nineties-early Aughts. But does Tom ever do what we expect? This time, he pushed things into uber-sexy territory, touching down in bondage and glamour, starting with the heavily seamed tight brown leather which easily segued into a bit of black leather and itty-bitty skintight dresses covered in straps.
If there was one thing that thread all these looks together, it was sex. He took what can only be described as a shattered disco ball look — tiny fragments of high-gloss paillettes pieced together in second-skin tops, shorts and thigh-high boots. The girls looked like walking hyper-sexualized mosaics.

By COREY BLUEMELStaff writer
Wayne Ludington of the Bureau of Land Management informed the Emery County Public Lands Council that Cleveland Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry has closed for the season. He stated that visitation numbers were up for the season and they attributed the rise to the renovations which had recently taken place at the quarry.
Ludington also said the RMP comment period closes on Dec. 13, so everyone is encouraged to get their comments in quickly. The status of the West Tavaputs Plateau environmental impact study will be coming in the next couple of months. It is presently in internal review and this may approve nearly 700 wells for the area.
Rick Larsen of the Division of Wildlife Resources said they have moved into their new office building. He also stated the 200 acre fire which happened in Range Creek during the summer months has been reseeded. Their goal in that project is to prevent the cheat grass from returning. The Range Creek management plan is still in internal review.
Mesia Nyman of the US Forest Service reported on the proposed seasonal road closures. She stated the gate on the South Reeder Trail has been installed and moving the gate on the Hole Trail should be complete in several days.
The dates for the closure and gate installation in the Joe's Valley area will be Jan. 1, 2008-April 15, 2008. "Our goal is to protect the roads and trails through Spring breakup," said Nyman. "We are trying not to interfere with any hunting activity."
Nyman stated the scoping questionnaires concerning the Kitchen area ATV connection road, the Lord's Trail off Horn Mountain, and the Black Fork jeep trail are needed. She said she wants to meet with all interested parties about the proposed road closures and the three new trails proposals.
"The Lowry Water road has been badly neglected," said Nyman. "It's time to do something about it. There is lots of damage through the wet areas, and we are in the process of gathering input for the management of that road."
She stated the concern is for the Red Pine Ridge to Potter's Pond portion of the road. "We are taking comments on three options. One-close the road totally. Two-leave it open to ATVs. Three-leave it open to full-sized vehicles.
"Damage around the wetlands is serious and needs to be addressed. Maybe we can reroute around that area," said Nyman. The public lands council said they are in favor of rerouting the road around the wetlands and leaving the road open to full-sized vehicles as it has been in the past.
The School and Institutional Trust Lands representative, Bryan Torgersen said the applications for OHV rights of way are still being processed. He said a great number of requests came in and it is taking longer than anticipated to process those applications.
"We are in the process and working with the involved parties on reclamation project for the roads that were built during the Crandall Canyon mine disaster," said Torgersen. "We are also working to establish an economic development area near Green River. It is a 2,500 acre parcel and it is a rail served area."
Council chairman Bruce Wilson informed the council there will be four seats on the council becoming available in December. The council approved to begin the application process.
Gary Petty, councilmember, informed the council of a recent field trip with SUFCO into the area above Emery. "They are very interested in helping us solve the problems with the water. They are willing to try anything to bring the water back."
Wayne Urie of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, said, "We have put together a tamarisk project to address the tamarisk growth in the Buckhorn area in the Swell and in Joe's Valley. One thousand Order of the Arrow Scouts will be coming into Emery County to help with the project. The project will begin in June 2008 and our goal is to remove the tamarisk in those areas."
Urie stated the beetles which were planted to reduce tamarisk are working fairly well in the area around Moab. He said the progress in Emery County is not very good.
The Emery County Public Lands Council meets every month on the second Tuesday of each month in the Old Courthouse at 10 a.m.

Customer Reviews
Comments: My first frog and my favorite frog. I tried the Booyah_Pad_Crasher_Frog but I didn't get nearly as many bites. I would Def recommend.
From: Zack: New Smyrna Beach, FL 3/17/16
Comments: this is my favorite. My spro take water instantly. They all catch fish but this one seemed to out produce. As far as walking it I loop knot it and have no issues.
From: Eli: Chesapeake, VA 9/9/15
Comments: best frog out there. from the heavy cover to open water it walks great.only other frog i ues is a spro cause they have a popping frog. iv caught bass in 15+ feet open water walking the bait. awesome action and colors.
From: Dan: OR 9/2/15
Comments: I had been looking for these for a while and I'm glad I found them. I got black shad and emerald shiner. I rigged them up just like you would a live minnow and on my first cast I reeled in a nice 2-3 lb bass. Tossed it back out and nailed another the same size. Walked to the other side of the pond and reeled in two nice sized crappie. 4 fish landed in just about 30 minutes, not to mention the multiple strikes and failed hook sets. I fish a lot of different baits, but these are the only things I have they get ATTACKED every time out.
From: Derek: NC 9/2/15
Comments: first frog I owned & my favorite it's got a huge hole in it but it still catches fish so I don't want to replace it.
From: Eli: Chesapeake, VA 9/1/15
Comments: This frog is my favorite it beats out most on the market. i say most because i just bought a live target and i want to use all before i judge it. But as of now no other frog compares to the presentation, details, and i love the rattle in it.
From: Rick: Winter Park, FL 6/27/15
Comments: The Strike King KVD Sexy Frog in black is by far my favorite lure. I have caught fish all over the eastern United States with this awesome lure. It is a confidence bait that works. I never have issues missing a fish with this lure. I've caught 1 pounders up to 5 pounders and never had an issue with setting the hook. They choke it every time.
From: Brandon: Fort Knox, KY 8/15/14
Comments: If you're tired of missing fish on this frog, do these three things :
1) Bend the hooks up, and away from the body. The hooks are to low and they are to angled towards the body stock.
2) trim the skirt. It comes way to long stock. Trim it so that it is as long as the frog.
3) Most importantly, take the rattle out! A lot of times when you jerk or walk the frog, the rattle gets in the back of the frog. When the fish takes the frog it doesn't collapse and he never gets the hooks.
From: Riley: Brookland, TX 8/11/14
Comments: good frog the hook needs to be fixed I missed a lot of fish because of that and it always gets me mad
From: Hunter: AR 7/12/14
Comments: These frogs honestly don't look that bad in the water, Just trim the skirt a little. But the hook sets are bad on it. Miss tons of fish. Much better off spending the extra money and getting a live target, spro, or booyah pad crasher.
From: Michael: FL 6/22/14
Comments: Ive had good success with the frog when and only when I bend the hooks a little bit. I don't think its a softness issue as much as it doesn't seem to be as thick as the Spro or Ish's phat frog. There for intern not collapsing enough and not getting a good hook up ratio. I have not measured them but just visually it looks smaller in diameter. It may just be my eyes though... other then that walks and looks great.
From: Chris: Leslie, MI 6/17/14
Comments: Great Frog and great color selection . Only thing that I don't like is I have a bad hook up ratio m Fish kill this frog but I can't seem to get them to the boat .
From: Dylan: Rainbow City, AL 5/26/15
Comments: They walk great, look great, cast great, and I get tons of hits.... but my hook-up ratio is pitiful vs. the Spro frog. I'm going to make some modifications to the hook angles, but I don't have to do that with the Bronzeye.
From: Alan: Adairsville, GA 5/22/14
Comments: Hate this frog, plastic is too stiff, can't walk it well, and it just doesn't feel like a quality frog in my hands or on the water. It works and I've caught fish on it, but I have much more confidence in snag proof, koppers, spro, and jackall. Each one of those frogs out fish this one by a longshot.
From: Marcus: AZ 5/15/14
Comments: Strike king please redesign this frog. Rubber is hard, paints peels, hooks point in. Hookup ratio is terrible with this frog. Everyone says to bend the hooks but i shouldnt have to. My hookup ratio with the scum frog trophy series is almost 100%. I love strike king products but im gonna use scumfrogs till they change it or come out with something better. Also id like to see a little bit bigger frog with a super soft body. If it makes them a little more fragile then so be it. At least id know when i tie it on that if ole big momma comes up and eats it shes gonna be in the boat.
From: Derrick: USA 5/1/14
Comments: Great frog! Only thing is the hookup ratio.. The hooks are almost impossible to bend up! If you get this frog, I suggest you get a trailing hook! 4 out of 5 stars!
From: Landon: Ripley, MS
Comments: Great frog walks easy, sharp/strong hooks, good colors, decent price. Now the downfall the frog itself is pretty durable but the paint peels off after a couple good hits from fish. This frog allowed me to catch a nice 2 pounder along with the biggest fish of my life so far it weighed 7.1 pounds. that's all I caught before the paint fell off. would much rather get a spro frog instead. ***
From: Caleb: Demopolis, AL
Comments: Once you trim the skirt on this frog, It will walk like no other. MANY big bass on this frog as well as missed hook sets. I also caught a HUGE bullfrog that kept hitting it out of aggression. Overall a great frog.
From: Liam: Ohio, USA
Comments: This frog is the best hollow bodied frog I have used. It walks easy and catches fish. I have never lost a fish I hooked into.
From: Noah: AL
Comments: This is my first frog/top water purchase so I am fairly new to the frogging game. With that being said these are really easy to use for the beginners. I was walking this thing in no time. From subtle twisting to full on zig zag action. They are very user friendly and come in some great colors. And you can get them almost anywhere.
From: Sean: USA
Comments: These things are trash. I caught a nice 5 1/2 largemouth on one in the tiger black color, but thats the only thing it did well. After that ONE bass the rubber was torn beyond repair, and the hooks kept digging into the side of the bait. I had another one on me and that one has almost completely lost its finish after only about 3 bass. They catch fish, but so do spro frogs, and I have spro frogs that are going on their 3rd and 4th season and have caught 10 pound laregmouth on them and arn't torn up a bit. It's just not durable enough for a frog, but you will catch fish. I recommend trimming the skirt about 1/2 inch and it will "walk" better. But overall not impressed, and will not be buying again. For the few extra bucks just go with the spro frog, they also cast further.
From: Jack: CT
Comments: This is my favorite frog by far. I used a loppers and caught about three fish. Used a sexy frog and caught 5 fish. Plus a six and a eight pounder will buy more definitely!
From: Trent: IA
Comments: This frog it outstanding, its easy to walk, the colors are great it sits nice in the water and the fish just crush this frog, love this frog
From: Nick: USA
Comments: Decent frog ,but hard rubber ,you really need to bend the hooks out for a better hook up ratio.Glad I only bought one.
From: John: Winter Haven ,FL
Comments: I used this lure one time and i caught a 3 foot water snake, and a nice size large mouth. it was incredible
From: Nick: quakertown, Pa. US
Comments: Awesome action,look,and most importantly feel. Threw it out there and let it sit for about four or five seconds then started walking it. On the third motion a fish launched out of the water for it,turns out it was a four pounder and helped me win the tournament i was fishing in that day. for eight dollars you cant beat this frog strike king realy did a good job on the action and the realistic looks. will definitely buy more. PS:this frog will wear out your arm over about three or four hours,so use a long rod and put the butt in your arm pit and just use your wrist and forearm or you'l wake up the next morning and not be able to move your shoulder, like i did.
From: Caleb: Germantown, TN
Comments: Good Bait
From: Jim: USA
Comments: I have fished just about every kind of big name frogs out there and i respect this frog because of its price point, but only because of its prise point... They are good for the first couple fish then the paint just starts peeling off. These frogs have painted on colors, instead of actually rubber being that color. In my opinion one live target frog is worth three of these frogs. 10$ or 18$ ?? you choose.
From: Sam: Bemidji, MN
Comments: The sexy frog is awesome!! I went out to a local pond infested with lily pads, and boy did I catch some fish! I caught a total of 14 bass on it. I caught an 8 1/2 lunker on it! Great hook up ratio.
From: Zack: Fort Pierce, Fl, USA
Comments: I bought one to try it out and caught a couple of good bass In green pumpkin/pearl belly.Hooks are sharp,paint does not come off,durable,and just all around Amazing frog I gotta buy a couple more because a gator decided to make my frog it's dinner but amazing frog!
From: Alan: LA,(Lower Alabama)
Comments: I love this frog it is great!!!! I always catch at least a 3 pounder when i go out. This is a great bait and the paint doesnt come off!! Dont believe any of the other comments that are bad. This is a great bait get it in black, leopard frog, pearl white, sexy frog, spring frog, and green pumpkin pearl belly. Great bait dont go on the boat without one!!
From: Luciano: PA
Comments: These things are great!I've caught plenty of bass with them when the grass gets up in the summer. I found switching to something like a ribbit when the season switches to fall works better, but during the summer this thing is da bomb !
From: Chris: Kentucky Lake, TN
Comments: This was my first hollow bodied frog, and I was amazed at the vast amount of places I could get my bait. I was able to get bites in mats so thick, you could walk on them. My first time out, I was about ready to leave, so I was just fooling around, chucking it next to shore, and then thhis 7 lb bass came up and nailed it, Not expecting it , I missed the fish. I chucked ti back in there, hit it again set the hook, but not have braid It broke off, always frog with braid!!!! This frog is amazing, will order more in the copper frog color!!!
From: Mitch: WI
Comments: great bait. first cast wonder!!!!in the moss,beside the moss, it doesn't matter!! this frog out fishes real frogs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
From: Jed: Gilmer, TX
Comments: This Frog is the best bait I've ever used for large mouth bass in florida. Brought it out with me today at a local pond and pulled out a 11 pounder! no joke, i swear! Along with 5 more 2-3 pounders. overall worth getting if you're looking for big fish! Your tackle won't be complete without this frog!
From: Brent: Florida USA
Comments: Great bait. Quite durable. Caught many good fish on them last summer when BooYah frogs were sold out.
From: Pat: CT, USA
Comments: These baits are really nice i use frogs quite often in mn and have caught many fish in the 5-7 lb. range on them. these stand out because of the rattles already installed in them and the nice color patterns available. the only problem with them is the tails are not as durable as spro, but i think they are nicer while they last in comparison. i wish they would come out with a popping frog series like the spro line. If you don't catch with this you will probably have a tough time catching with any hollow body frog.
From: Mitch: St. Cloud, MN
Comments: Strike king should stick to crankbaits. this thing is trash. buy the booyah pad crasher, which is a killer frog. this things paint chips off so easily and its just not as soft as the pad crasher.
From: Scotty: VA
Comments: Oh for Peats sake! I wonder where they got there colors from, let me think...SPRO! SPRO: inovative,quality lures designed by pros. Strike King:so UNinovative that they have to copy other companies colors.I'll go with SPRO.
Comments: Paint sucks and body fills with water. Want a good frog go with the Ish Monroe frogs by snagg proof
From: Nathan: Texarkana, AR
Comments: did not like dont get me wrong it does produce good bass but paint comes off easy and fills with water too much and after 3 bass the hooks bent outa place and now they stick out to far to the side so i keep catching weeds. go with a spro bronzeye!!!!
From: Anthony: Portage, WI
Comments: the frog is fairly descent only had frog for three days paint already off had one reaction bite in front of some catails would be nice if sk could improve the paint job a little overall good frog though
From: Nick: OH
Comments: this frogs suck they fall apart and the hook uo ratio are terrible and the paint peels real easy.
From: Jeff: Hemet, CA
Comments: Great frog, also very sharp hooks don't miss many bass at all.
From: Parker: IN
Comments: When i first fished this frog, it was amazing, but shortly after, it would sink every cast. Not sure if it was a defect or not.
From: Bryce: Orange County, CA
Comments: 3/5 okay at best i bought some right off the bat just because of the strike king name, but after actually using the product for quite a long time this summer and spring i'm disappointed in the actual performance, hard to collapse, tough to walk poor hook up ratio i'd stick with koppers,jackall,or deps,or spro
From: Louis: Green Bay
Comments: Very nice frog, nice color selection from Strike King. I have the tiger frog and the spring frog both will get bites but can be hard to get the walk the dog action fisherman like to see.
From: Brian: South Dakota
Comments: The best frog period. Very good hookup ratio. Only problem I have is that the plastic where the eyelet is rips and the hook starts to come out. Also the plastic rips on the belly where hooks come out. Not a big deal, easy fix. Stump jumper is the BEST COLOR AVAILABLE. SK needs a bluegill color. Also never sinks for me anyway.
From: Mike: Marion, IA
Comments: I use a frog every day from about mid april to November depending on the cold fronts. This year I have used 3 brands H20 (academy brand) Spro, and the strike kings. 1st all of them will take on water, it cant be helped.*super glue the around the hook ring* 2nd all of them have paint issues But I care not what the thing looks like on top that my friends is for the angler. I have not really found a color difference other than dark at night, light during the day, some shade of gray during cloudy days I color my own patterns with a sharpie after a few days. 3rd and most important to me is the strike/hook up ratio. The strike king hands down has put more fish in the boat than the other two combined. Yes I have lost fish on the SK but that has been my error in a whimpy hook set. In my opinion the SK walks a bit easier and I can really get this frog to dance almost in a complete circle on flat water with #50 braid not so much with #65 or #80, although with any type of chop they just dont walk as well, but that is the case with all frogs. After 4 months of solid use I have to say the Strike King has become my goto frog of choice...Begining Sept. 1st I will be trying out the River to Sea Bully wa frogs...as always your experiences may differ, I hope you find this review helpful.
From: TeamHooligan: Central TX
Comments: bought the tiger frog, works fairly decent. Missed 6 bass today, seems like it doesn't land fish like it should. Someone told me to try to bend the hooks up a little bit more, and this frog should crush. Ps it does sink after 10ft..
From: Derek: Monaca, PA
Comments: I've been using the sexy frog all summer with huge success. Missed a Huge pig(snapped my line) & caught at least 50 on 1 bait & I dont see the paint coming off at all. I can go out with buddies for 6 to 8 hours fishing heavy lilypads & scum & I would be the only 1 catching them. They were using frogs too but not by KVD. Highly recommend these.
From: Terry: Green Bay, WI
Comments: This frog is the bomb, it works great, I have caught over 50 bass with it this summer. The only thing that suck is the paint is wearing off! I wish it had a better paint job, but next years models better have paint that will last. I would still buy it again.
From: Jake: CDA, ID
Comments: No joke I have them in every color love them so worth the money
From: Patrick: USA
Comments: ONE WORD SEXY! THIS FROG IN SEXY FROG COLOR IS AWESOME ALL THE OTHER COLORS BLOW THE PAINT CHIPS!
From: Louis: LA
Comments: This frog is amazing, the hook up ratio is better than most frogs I've used, I cut my legs short so it walks easier. The hooks are sharp so you can hook them fast. The rattle in the bait is a good idea, i caught about 15 bass on it and it is still going strong. I have the Green Pumpkin/Pearl belly. I recommend to anybody looking for a nice frog.
From: Brandon
Comments: Great frog. the hook ratio is amazing and never sinks unlike spro. i got this frog yesterday and caught 1 nice bass and like 5 strikes. i recommend this frog for anybody that likes frog fishing.
From: Tommy: beaver Dam, WI
Comments: dont worry about the paint chipping like every one says it does it chips on the top majority of the time and the fish dont see nothin but the bottom! also the hooks on this thing are amazing i caught a four pounder on it today and when it jumped it missed the lure and i ended up hookin him in the belly since these hooks are so nice
Comments: The only reason this frog is bad is beacause before you even tie it on it is chipping i havent even caught one fish on mine yet and it has no paint dont buy it
From: Louis: USA
Comments: Really dig these baits, my 2 colors the Tiger and sexy shad are now my top producing summer time hydrilla bed baits. They hold up well after numerous large fish, great large fish hook up ratio, and really effective. Im now even throwing them well beyond the time of day one would expect to be throwing a frog. Just squeeze the water outta them every now and then and your good to go.
Comments: This frogs paint chips so easily the day i got it not even used it started to chip stick to spro and koppers
From: Louis: LA
Comments: I like this frog a lot more than i thought i would. After hearing both negative and positive reviews on this frog, i decided to try it out myself. Boy im i glad i did. I have caught numerous bass over 2 pounds, and one 8 pounder on this frog so far and it shows literally NO signs of wear and tear. Damn near bullet proof. its a great frog with a pretty good hook up ratio, but for some reason i like the booyah pad crasher a little better than this frog. Still, don't hesitate to pick this frog up.
From: Julian: Amherst, MA
Comments: This bait has a nice walking action and is easy to use
From: Geoff: MI
Comments: I was very skeptical of this frog being that the Spro has been my go to/confidence frog for so long. I must say that I am pleasantly surprised. I would have to disagree with most of the people who say it sinks (that's always been one of my gripes about the spro, it doesn't hold up well and it sinks.) The KVD held up well under heavy fire from fish in the 4-6lb range and never sank. I found that the KVD walks much easier than the Spro too. The only negatives for me are the color choices, no jr. size, and in my opinion, it's a little too hard...However, I threw the spro and the sexy side by side and caught 'em very well on each. And again, I write this review being an unbelievable huge fan of the Spro.
Comments: I got a good one. Well, several good ones. It does everything a frog should do. I wish it was a bit heavier though. But you can add in some weight to solve that.
Comments: as far as preformanc its amazing but the paint on the bottom is gone and it sinks some times but in the long run its real good
Comments: I have fished these frogs since the minute they hit the market. No sinking problems, the walk better and easier than spros, the legs/skirt don't twist on the inside and make the frogs butt "pucker" like spros. The paint does not peel of like spros, they use the same hook, and have a rattle, which if you don't like is easy to take out. Every bit as good as the Spro's, plus a little cheaper. No they don't have the color selection, but they have all you really need. These are my #1 frog now.
From: Brad: NY
Comments: I caught 9lber on this frog off the Lilly pads ,needed pliers to dig out the hooks . I didn't have a problem with sinking.
Comments: These frogs are like all of Strike Kings products. Some are great,some are fair and some are junk. Strike King has very little constancy in any of their product lines. Crankbait colors vary,split rings vary, and in this case the body texture varies a bunch.
From: James: Richland Hills, TX
Comments: garbage. i have a frog box with 4 to 500 dollars worth of one type of frog and thats spro!. theres no frog that will ever compare.
From: George: Lorton, VA
Comments: This frog is awesome, but some people have given it negative reviews. I think some are defected,and if so i got a good one. Hook-ups are awesome and i have not had sinking problems. Pick one up today.Comments
From: James: MN
Comments: This frog doesnt fill with water, but its like throwing a rock. The plastic is way too hard, and the hookup ratio is poor.
From: Boca, CA
Comments: There super hard. Not to great if you ask me.
From: Tony: Madison, WI
Comments: Recently picked a green pumpkin orange throat color and it is amazing. we were straight up catching fish cast after cast with no "sinking" problems. haha not. these frogs are fine.
From: Blaise: Peachtree City, GA
Comments: I have no confidence in the lure, first off it fills with water way too fast!! I have been fishing scum frogs and I have been looking for new frogs due to the design and the hooks digging into the body causing the bait to be worthless and providing poor hookups. I thought the KVD frog would be great, after viewing his video but I have to give it a very poor performance rating. I will not be willing to spend more on the Koppers live target frog.
From: Brett: Rochester, NY
Comments: Ok, lets be honest here. How many times have we seen KVD in first place VIA a frog.... Just a name to put on a frog to help move them. Stick with SK crankbaits endorsed by KVD... they work.. otherwise, if you want a frog, stick with the trusty scum frog or get a Koppers. Ish Monroe is the guy to get frogs from.
From: Matt: Iowa
Comments: Disappoiinted KVD indorses this frog, it sinks, the hook up ratio is poor hooks constantly embedding into the plastic which prevents hook ups. I am sticking with spro, it has proved itself
From: Kim: Resse, MI
Comments: Junk. Will not float. Stick with a Snag Proof.
From: Lane: AL
Comments: It sinks, which is no good. Spend 3-4 more dollars and get a kopper frog.
From: Leng: Siloam Springs, AR
Comments: This frog is nice but it SINKS. According to KVD, it doesn't sink but if you let it sit for a while it will sink. Guess I'm going to be using it like a carolina rig.
From: Burt: CA Delta
Comments: Best frog I have fished so far, and I've fish them all. Walks great, doesn't fill with water, and it's the most durable forg I've fished. Last weekend I caught at least 40 fish on one bait and it still looks new. The finish doesn't wear off like it does on the Spro's. I'll be filling my box with these frogs from now on.
From: Eric: Milwaukee, WI
Comments: i live on a lake where frog fishing is unheard of. which is why this is my new secret weapon!!! we have shoreline water willows but no hydrilla or mats of any kind but i catch tons of fish on this frog. sits low in the water so hook up percentage is high. cant wait to throw this in the fall after they draw the lake down for winter and the bass key on the shad! ps trim the legs 3/4" and it will walk like a zara spook
From: Wade: Lincoln, AL
Comments: It sinks, have two of them and they are garbage, buy a Koppers Frog. Did like the rattle, but you can't walk this frog very far before it is full of water and sinking.
From: Mark: Sarasota, FL
Comments: The frog overall is well built. Some people are saying that the frog dives underwater I have yet to have that happen. I do not think this is a great open water bait. Would be best used in lilly pads or some type of cover. Not enough action for a open water bait.
From: Kevin: MD
Comments: This frog is not totally weedless when fishing slop but the hookup ratio is almost 100%. You can either have totally weedless with a worse hookup ratio or not totally weedless with a good ratio. Guess it depends what your fishing in. Rattles are awesome!
From: Garrett
Comments: The frog has a good look in the water. But I don't care for the way the hooks lay on the body, they seem to get snagged a lot more than other frogs, When will some one remake the Donkey?
From: Jason: Grant, MI
Comments: I used this for the first time today after first getting many strikes on a Spro Bronzeye 65. Perhaps I'm fishing this SK frog wrongly but I didn't care very much for it. I threw it out and it started sinking. I reviewed the Icast 2011 video clip that KVD made and he said this was one frog that would not sink...his exact words, "This one here isn't going to be sinking." I must be missing something. I think I will stick to the Spro until I discover what I'm doing wrong.
From: Rod: MO
Comments: Awesome!!!!! This is by far the best frog on the market today!!!!!
From: Kenny: Oaland, TN
Comments: Just got this frog in. Fished it today and it is a amazing frog! Great looks, and it sinks a inch when you rest it. Very realistic!!
From: Calvin: CO
Comments: Awesome frog caught my biggest bass so far of the season and i used the black one.
From: Chavez, NM
Comments: not a bad frog, only used it a little bit but i think it sinks to fast compared to the other ones. its good if you want to cast to shore and then reel it back in, but if you want to jerk it back all the way to you it wont work because it will start to sink so think it fills up with water to fast, not a bad frog though
From: Matt: IL
Comments: this frogs great it skips better than any other ive tried. if you walk them fast enough they ocatoinaly dive a few inches then surface again after about a foot thats way more realistic than a frog stayin on the top for 40 feet think about it they dont ever do that they go down just a little then come back up. i have to say that every thing kvd designs is for the most part like other brands but he make it do something eratic here anthere dont know how but its def my new favorite frog. and there a little cheaper thats always a plus. as great as these are im still keep the spros handy there good to and a little tougher than these stock up on both
From: Michael: Newbern, TN
Comments: BOMB! they skip great!
From: Karl: IL

Expansion starts at Smyth County Courthouse
SMYTH COUNTY, Va. - Construction crews are hard at work inside the Smyth County Courthouse.
County Engineer, Scott Simpson, says right now crews are creating temporary holding cells inside the County Courthouse for inmates traveling from the Regional Jail in Abingdon.
This project should take 6 months but this is actually a two-phase project. Soon construction will begin on the four streets surrounding the courthouse.
"That work will be water, sewer, and gas relocation. The new construction will have some traffic impacts," added Simpson.
We've learned that project will take at least 3-years. Part of the project includes tearing down the old jail.

MRM DHEA 50 mg. is HPLC tested for potency and purity. DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) is produced in the adrenal glands from pregnenolone and eventually converted into testosterone, estrone and estradiol. The marked reduction in DHEA by the adrenals during aging results in a dramatic fall in the formation of active sex steroids in peripheral target tissues - a situation which is thought to be associated with a long series of age related decreases such as insulin resistance, obesity, muscle mass, bone and cardiovascular health. MRM DHEA 50 mg. has shown an ability to return blood levels to those enjoyed in younger years. DHEA in appropriate replacement doses appears to have remedial effects with respect to its ability to induce an anabolic growth factor, increase muscle strength and lean body mass, support immune health, and enhance quality of life in aging men and women.

This past Friday a twitter/blog friend @jabulani9 notified me that another of our twitter/blog friends @trilisakay had died the day before.
I first began following Lisa when she blogged at The Tale of My Left Foot and more recently at Call Me Dr. Lisa. She began the second blog as she put it (August 2009):
I have decided that The Tale of My Left Foot is done. 34 monthes ago, I had my first surgery on my ankle and 1 month later learned I had cancer. I have documented my journey, my triumphs, my failures, my fears and last weekend I completed a triathlon. So, now the "Tale" feels done. Thanks for travelling this road with me.
In January of this year she underwent a major surgery with reconstruction (a gracilis flap) when her cancer returned. I answered some questions for her regarding the flap, etc. I tried to encourage her as she recovered and began training again for another triathlon. Truth is, she was encouraging to me as she remained more upbeat than not and pushed forward. I would have loved to have known her in real life.
Her last blog post was October 26 and remains upbeat: Taking my Training to the Pool
……I remain as committed as ever to complete my first half marathon just short of the one year anniversary of my surgery. I continue to feel incredibly fortunate to be on this journey with some of the most amazing and inspirational people I've ever met. I appreciate everyone's support more than you know.
If you are so inclined you can still donate in her name to her TEAM.

FakerPress は WordPress に偽のコンテンツやダミーコンテンツを生成するクリーンな方法です。テストが必要な開発者に最適です。
Whenever you create a new Theme or Plugin you will always need to create custom data to test whether your plugin is working or not, and as Developers ourselves we had this problem quite alot.
Our goal with this plugin is to fill this gap where you have problem with a good solution both for Developers and for Users of WordPress.
Note: This plugin requires PHP 5.3 or higher to be activated.
Checkout our GitHub Repository
Normally a WordPress developer will need to perform the task of filling up an empty theme with dummy content, and doing this manually can be really time consuming, the main reasons this plugin was create was to speed up this process.
Create randomly generated attachments as the Featured Images for your WordPress dummy content.
WordPress has Meta for Users, Posts, Terms and Comments, FakerPress will allow you to generate custom dummy meta for all four, with 20 types of Data
After you are done with your testing it should be easy to delete all the content created using FakerPress, now you will be able to do it.
When creating dummy posts what you really want is that the HTML is really random so that you might see bugs that an XML import wouldn't.
When you are testing your website images are important, so FakerPress will allow you to output Images to your HTML tests.
For comments our plugin is prepared to generate a real Browser data instead of leaving the field empty.
For creating and assigning the terms you will have a much better tool that will allow you to select which kind of taxonomy you want to assign to your posts, and leaving the randomization to the plugin's code.
If you fill up your WordPress with any data for the user profiles you might not catch an edge case, this plugin will fill up the fields with data that will really matter in the tests.
We moved away from Transifex due to the new GlotPress on WordPress.org, so if you want to translate FakerPress to your language please follow this guidelines.
Great! There are several ways you can get involved to help make FakerPress better:
Thank you for wanting to make FakerPress better for everyone! We salute you.
Requires: 3.7 or higher
Compatible up to: 4.6.3
