The byway segment beginning just north of Seminoe State Park and running through the Seminoe Mountains to the Miracle Mile is graveled, very steep, and quite washboarded. It is not recommended for motor homes or vehicles pulling trailers. There are no services along the byway until you reach Alcova. Make sure you have adequate fuel and a good spare tire. Take drinking water, food, and proper clothing–the weather can change suddenly. Developed campgrounds are located at the Dugway Recreation Area, at Red Hills in Seminoe State Park, and along the Miracle Mile. Camping is also permitted on BLM-administered public lands.
In 1868, three ill-fated miners registered the first mining claim in the Seminoe Mountains but none of them lived to work the claim. One of the three traveled up the North Platte River to Ft. Steele to register the claim. Later that day he was shot, in the words of a newspaper reporter, "just for luck." The Army sent a Lt. Young to inform the man's partners of his death. Lt. Young found them both dead, killed by Native Americans. While on the trip, Lt. Young found some gold and took it back to Ft. Steele. In 1871, Young led some other Army officials to the area where they found gold nuggets lying on the ground, covered with moss. The men formed a mining district and the gold rush began.

"I got these shoes in nude; which are true to color, & they're really cute. True to size; I wear a size 5.5 in most heels/wedges & that's what I got. These wedges are really lightweight. I purchased these with a dress in mind to wear with them & I'm glad I did. They aren't as comfortable as my other wedges, but these aren't killer on my feet. Nothing a pair of insoles wouldn't fix. If they had any in 5.5 for the other colors I would probably purchase a pair of those too."

Perfect Wedding Shoes!
"I got these shoes to wear for my October wedding. They shipped quickly and I received them within about a week. When they arrived they were in perfect condition. I ordered the red ones. They are a true garnet color. Darker than fire truck red, but not as purple as burgundy. Although the heal is high, they are still fairly comfortable. Since I will be wearing them for my wedding, I still plan on getting some cushioned inserts to make sure I am truly comfy. Overall, I am beyond thrilled with these shoes!"

Skip to comments.Why We Lost- We Played By THEIR Rules (Vanity)
Posted on 11/13/2012 6:05:53 PM PST by Steelfish
As we enter the first week since we were shellshocked by the election results of last Tuesday and as 360 degree post-mortem analyses continue to abound, we must take away one major lesson from this epic disaster. We played by "their" rules and we lost.
When Bush won, it was because while he played by "their" rules, third-party backers appealed to value voters and of course we all know of the pivotal role played by the Swift-boaters that sunk the Kerry candidacy.
We ask why did we not run ads showing Obama's embrace of gay marriage and how under the Full Faith and Credit Clause will extend this to the red states? Why didn't we show how the gay culture has infected local school curriculum in places like California and Washington? The connection between gays and AIDS? Why were no questions raised about how a future Supreme Court was one vote away from constitutionalizing gay marriage and with that other polyamorous relationship and possibly incest? Why were no ads run by our side on how God was repeatedly booed at the DNC Convention? Why didn't we run ads on how Obama is requiring people of faith especially Christians and particularly Catholics to choose between their God and his agenda? And finally why were no ads run about the issue of illegals and unlimited immigration that has added to the costs of crime, schooling, and public benefits?
In a word, our side was snakebit. In the past conservative were hammered for raising what "they" called divisive and hate-filled wedge issues. We were stung by the liberal snakes and we kept clear of the snake pit.
In truth these are not wedge issues. They go to the very heart of who we are as an expression of a common culture and Judeo-Christian ethic. If demographics is destiny, culture is the engine that takes us there. And yet we refused to ride this vehicle because the road we were warned is fraught with liberal IEDs.
While one can understand why Romney did not want to go there since he would have been tarred and feathered by the liberal media, there was absolutely no reason why independent groups in the post-Citizens United era shied away. Instead we had Rove and Company throwing away $300 million playing from the same hymnal as Romney, telling voters that it was an economic theme and nothing else mattered.
Democrats will label Romney as a murderer and a felon and everything else on earth and under the earth but as soon as conservatives address value and cultural issues, the MSM descend upon us like a tsunami trying to bury us with labels like "playing dirty" and branding us as being "divisive" of the country and engaging in wedge issues. And not infrequently, they have the support of leading RINOS to further this meme.
Limbaugh has asked how do you defeat Santa Claus? By portraying him as coming to prey on your children, swamping your local schools with gay-filled garbage, and taking away your Bibles.
Unless and until Republicans and conservative stiffen up their spine and are willing to engage in this cultural war, we will continue to lose.
You make a lot of good points.

how do we know we lost before we go over all the votes in the precincts that produced more votes than registered voters?....How do we know it stopped there? Is there a better time to expose voter fraud than when the votes are fresh?
You make a lot of good points.

"They go to the very heart of who we are as an expression of a common culture and Judeo-Christian ethic"
We are a post Judeo-Christian country, with no common culture any more. The constitution and the founding fathers are not held in anything approaching the regard they were even a generation or two ago.
The issue is how to maintain some vestiges of constitutional freedom while not using the Bible or what we used to consider cultural norms as justification.
The MSM through media manipulation (persecution and slandering of more viable candidates), chose our nominee for us.
True, but we made no attempt to inform them of the consequences of their vote to their families and children aside from bread and butter issues. "Man Doth Not Live By Bread Alone," and alas we ignored this.
"Why We Lost"? It's because the establishment Republicans are just as corrupt as the entrenched Marxist, Socialist, Democrats. We do not have a two party system. Period.
Conservatives have been playing defence for long time.
remember what happened to Chick-Fil-A?
I doubt that a campaign to shout out about Obama's helpfor the gay folks would have helped much.
A majority of people seem only too happy to accept perversion as "normal"
They voted for same sex marriage in 3 or 4 States including my own. Something I never thought I would see.
There are some sick people in this world.Including our Muslim President.
You make good points. But naming pederasty 'gaiety' is playing by their rules.
No sorry I think the problem is, we have sold out too much.
Breaking unions is important.
But one must keep track of the bigger picture: Sending your business international builds up America's competitors.
That is the growing problem. So while I oppose unions, I STRONGLY SUPPORT American jobs.
All American jobs.
Another in a long line of vanities and articles refusing to deal with the Big Pink Elephant in the corner of the room that was the main problem this election cycle.
That would be the moderate/liberal candidate, Mitt Romney, that we had to deal with.
All the other issues, for the most part, are going to be with us, each and every election season until there is no more evil or Democrats (one and the same) in the world.
They will continue to cheat, their lap-dogs in the media will continue to lie, obfuscate, and try to cheat their candidate into the White House.
These things aren't going away.
So what do we have some marginal control over?
We, as true conservatives, (and I don't mean people trying to redefine the word to include support for Amnesty, Abortion or the Gay Agenda, or even ignoring fiscal conservatism), are going to have to stand up and tell the GOP-E, not only no, but HELL NO! to anymore liberal/moderate Presidential candidates like Bob Dole, John McCain, and the worst of the lot, Mitt Romney.
Either we get serious, and be willing to say no even in the face of the next Evil boggey-man, that the GOP will try and use to force us to vote for their loser of a candidate, or the party is doomed, both as a home of conservatives, and for any chance of winning a Presidential election ever again.
They will continue to attempt to abuse us like a battered wife only so long as we put up with it and go along with it.
Now is the time to put first things first and start planning in some fashion to defeat the GOP-E the next election cycle.
It is time to clean up our own house of these Benedict Arnolds, these traitors to everything we believe in and hold dear.
Check out Brett Stephens in today's WSJ, who says he had predicted the loss back in January, and that is because the GOP insisted on emphasizing the so called gay marriage and abortion, the former most people don't care about, the latter, most people, he says, support in extreme cases.
By exposing him for the satan claus he actually is.
I doubt another Republican will be president as long as they remain liberal. FR will have to endorse another Republican liberal in 2016. Can you say, President Hillary Clinton? That is how the GOPe will get the FR vote - would you rather have Clinton or our liberal Republican? So, FR will take the liberal again. I think it will be Jeb Bush. I don't see any hope for conservatives in the future.
Romney also ran his entire primary in urban areas that weren't going to vote for him in the general while passing over those he would need in the general.
But we will not do it. It is not our nature. Reason will not carry the day. Yet we still try to reason with those who are, by their nature, unreasonable. The future looks dim for conservatism prevailing. The government plantation is where they work....and their work is simply voting democrat.
"Romney staked out a position guaranteed to tick off social conservatives and depress turn-out on our side.
THat position included the following:
1. Support for Gays in the Military.
2. Support for Gay Adoption
3. Support for Gays in the Boy Scouts
4. Support for Abortion in the cases of Incest, Rape, life, and HEALTH of the mother"
And we actual conservatives, toward the middle and end, were stomped on by Freepers for mentioning any of that. What we got was, "Obama thanks you for your vote". "Anyone who doesn't vote for Romney is un-American and a traitor."
I expect the same thing next time - the GOPe will push a liberal Republican so the Party won't offend anyone. Bovine Scatology.
I fear that we lost because so many in our country have lost sight of the true God of the Bible. We embrace gays, we prop up muslims, we encourage drug use. It seems to me that "we" have gotten the president "we" deserve. It's just unfortunate that so many of US have to pay the price as well.
Why we lost? Voter fraud!

These elections are NOT certified yet. The only way to get this investigated, much less recounted or overturned, is through the Secretary of State of each of the five key states: Florida, Virginia, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. EVEN IF YOU ARE IN ANOTHER STATE you can help. But it wont do any good to dilute our effort to challenge California or Michigan or other states.

I agree. Romney was compromised as the RINO candidate he is. But once he was our nominee, it was left to third parties like American Crossroads to go on the attack and sadly, unlike the Swiftboaters before them, they abdicated this attack dog role and did not go for the ankle bites that would have crippled the Obama machine.
A lot of us understand perfectly why Romney didn't want to go there -- those of us familiar with his record, anyway. For crying out loud, Catholic church charity adoption agencies in Massachusetts closed their doors because of law Romney created that would have forced them to accommodate gay "married" couples as "parents." Sure, you can find how later he tried to pawn it off as "nothing I could do, I tried to stop it ..." but any informed Republican is aware of the vast extent of Romney's pro-Gay agenda.
Between blatant vote fraud and a Republican candidate who was himself a fraud in terms of conservatism ... the Republicans lost.
Most Americans reject liberalism because most Americans are good, moral people. It is why Democrats have to cheat: they are outnumbered. But the trick up their sleeve is the MSM, which shapes perception such that "progressives" are the many hip and conservatives are the few squares. But read comments on the you tubes, the yahoo threads, the comments sections on links to LA Times articles. Granted, you see a lot of entitlement liberal idiots, but you see a lot of pretty level-headed folks who understand what a load of crap big government liberalism actually IS, and it's starting to dawn on some of them that elections have gotten downright stinky in America lately.
"Grown-up" Republicans who think in terms of pragmatism and Santa Claus are condescending boobs who also think the majority of Americans are "children." They belong in Europe if they're going to badmouth my country that way.
These "grown-up" Republicans vote for the likes of Romney, ridicule "birthers" and "vote fraud conspiracy theorists," and like the good beta dogs they are, live in a world where going alpha is just too scary.
Thus the alpha politicians create a Banana Republic because so damned many so-called American conservative patriots have neither the vision nor the confidence in their principles to GO ALPHA.
next time, conservatives need to unite behind one candidate *before* the GOPe primaries start, that is, if there is still a GOP around by then. a conservative party would be "optimal."
Folks, we need to think BEYOND the box we continue to confine ourselves into.
Forget working to somehow win votes for an upcoming election.
That time is past.
We saw our last somewhat 'honest' and free national elections back in 2008. Cook County is national now - Marxists control the machine...and there is no way in hell the ballot box is going to be a viable option to change our rulers.
We can go ahead and pretend otherwise if we want to delude ourselves.
We've been taken over in a velvet coup. No Marxist regime ever gives up their power unless forced to. Period. History speaks.
The Ruling Class GOP knows where the power is going to now lie - and they will do everything to share in it.
Given what they did Tuesday during the RNC - it should be clear by now that Conservatism has been forever rendered irrelevant in national politics within the GOP. The Ruling Class Establishment blame Conservatives for the "loss" and are full steam ahead with adopting the Democrat agenda for itself.
We have no hope in the national party - or in what used to be. We are a POST-CONSTITUTIONAL SOCIALIST DEMOCRACY. Not even a Republic any longer. That is the defacto-reality. We are Ameritopia - just as Levin warned in his book. And if history is a teacher - then a hard tyranny is a-commin' if not already at the door.
Know the ground we find ourselves on. For that is what we have to fight on - and the rulers would attempt to disarm us and make us struggle according to THEIR rules.
You cannot win a war by playing by the enemy's rules or adopting their agenda to get along to win hears and minds with principles NOT of God or our foundations.
You are correct about Romney. But it is the role of third parties to launch the unremitting assault on how Obama is radically changing the culture and forcing good and moral Americans from union households to minorities including blacks to accept an agenda that undercuts their family values and religious heritage. The MSM calls this "divisive" issues and cultivates a climate that pre-empts this attack. RINOs are the first to flee and unless third party groups pick up this baton, the race is lost. This is the singular reason for the stunning loss last Tuesday. To be sure there are others, and fraud is one of them but nothing is so decisive to explaining the extent of our electoral losses than the failure to bring up front and center the family values agenda.
We should boldly have framed the issue between God (with non stop videos of DNC delegates booing God) and descent into Sodom and Gomorrah. But being snakebit, our side refused to go there and we played right into a game played by "their" rules.
I live in Washington State and hate the fact 74 passed -- posted about it many times -- but am not aware of "gay culture has infected local school curriculum" in this state. It may well happen in the future, but can you give a current example?
I was under the impression, that like in CA, public high schools now use history books extolling the contributions of gays to civil society.
Exactly right. I think a lot of people aren't really seeing the implications here. This is not just another election loss. This is the Chicago machine getting itself established at the national level. When you add in a few million illegal aliens cum citizens, tens more millions becoming dependent on government assistance via Obamacare and a moribund economy, and the demographic trends already in place, it's obvious that by 2016, there will be an army of drones who will march to the polls at every election to return the regime to power. I'm not sure where it ends. According to de Toqueville, it ends in fiscal collapse and then dictatorship. After that I suppose the possibility of restoring the Republic becomes a reality. That may be decades from now, however.
No, it's because we failed to play the game thee way they play it.
To Republicans and most conservatives, politics is like sports. To liberals, it's all-out war. We have to learn to play it that way.
The task will not be easy because the landscape has changed.
Romney won male voters 52 to 45 percent, but he lost women 55 to 44 percent. While Romney prevailed among married women by 53 to 46 percent, Obamas margin among single women was a crushing 68 to 30 percent.
Adding to the gloom for Republicans, fewer than half of American households now feature a married couple. This insures greater dependency on government. The economic argument alone (and all the economic arguments from unemployment rates to good track/wrong track numbers, deficits, national debt, prior business experience, went against Obama) is simply not going to cut it.
We must not allow the left and the MSM to dictate to us on how the game is played. We need clusters of Swift-boat types willing to play in the trenches if we ever are going to win again. We can shout out aloud all we can about fraud etc, but we'll lose if the rules are "their" rules that dictate on how this game is played.
I think after this latest RINO produced disaster, the GOP-e knows they have to retool their thinking, or go the way of the Whigs. Even with widespread Democrat voter fraud, Obama should have been whipped soundly by any reasonably solid Republican challenger.
The fact that Mitt Romney didn't bury Obama in a landslide, can't all be chalked up to the Dems cheating. In my mind, most of that loss has to be laid at the doorstep of the RNC, who insisted upon foisting yet another milquetoast candidate onto the center-right.
I think it's now painfully apparent to everyone concerned, that the instincts of staunch conservatives were right all along. This wasn't the time to run a nice guy, who wouldn't think of dirtying his fingernails in a street brawl with the left. No, it was precisely the time for the sort of leader that the Tea Party movement demanded. Someone who is fearless, outspoken, and patriotic to a fault. Someone who could inspire the people to answer the call to arms, and boldly lead us to spit in the eye of the evil that is destroying us.
Right when we needed Churchill, the GOP-e gave us Chamberlain.
Do we get it now, people? Have we finally had enough of this? Are we going to allow the party to play us like fools again in 2016? I surely hope not. Even now, I think the GOP may have set the stage for a conflict of unimaginable proportions, but if we somehow avoid a total breakdown of this country, it's certain to me that the conservative right has been played the fool for the very last time.
Thats right all those Negative ads By Obama really turned off voters didnt they? Not talking about Benghazi really helped too. The Marxist selling out our Missle defense to Russia Too as well as spelling out all the Nightmares of Obamacare,How could we lose?
The GOP-e LIKES being the minority party. That's the problem. Look at Boner, he acts like being Speaker is a burden. I would like to be speaker of the house for 10 minutes, I would probably start CWII.
Before the election comments on yahoo articles and other major MSM sites that constantly ran pro Obama articles, being pro Obama, often ran about 12 out of 13 completely and wholeheartedly against Obama. The "likes" for comments against Obama were often into the 100s, and comments for Obama quickly disappeared, and were covered over because they had so many "dislikes".
During the last election the democrats ran their election based largely on propaganda, and covered the internet with comments that were pro Obama. You could tell that many in the same article were likely written by the same people with different handles. Conservative opinions were mocked to death. I am sure that the left had paid operatives to keep the internet covered with pro Obama comments, and to also horribly ridicule Conservative comments. The few supposedly Conservative oriented comments that got through were often racist and/or really nasty. It was obvious that they were also written by their operatives to mischaracterize Conservatives. Good comments I wrote were often not allowed in by what appeared to be bought Moderators.
My point is that Obama's campaign could have cared less about the vast hoards of anti Obama internet comments this time, and I believe it is because it didn't matter. He had this election sewed up, and he knew it, for the left had taken control of the voting machines. His campaign was a dog and pony campaign meant to smoke over the fact that they didn't even need a campaign, except to keep enough people who were obviously for him to throw off the fact that the vote was fixed, for merely the show. Also to keep his base somewhat activated and happy, in case they may be needed sometime in the future.
Also, since comments, when left unfettered by leftist control, ran so tremendously against Obama, even on the normal MSM operated sites, it is obviously that Romney likely won this election, if ran fairly, by a huge landslide. It wasn't at all because he was a great candidate, but rather because the public held a largely "anything but Obama" mind set. I don't think that Americans are nearly as stupid and immoral as we think, except to be duped by vast election fraud.
It was also amazing how many Republicans were stone-cold ignorant on Romney's record in Massachusetts. A shocking number did absolutely ZERO due-diligence in voting for him, but instead believed wholesale the pap in his speeches. The ones who voted for him with their eyes wide open, I can understand -- they knew the risk they were taking in electing a liberal, and I can respect that. But those who voted for a liberal-registered-as-a-Republican in pure ignorance and hope, failed a responsiblity to investigate him for themselves. Likewise, folks who think vote fraud is a laughable kook cause, should take the trouble to go read America's mind themselves, because neither Fox News nor the MSM can or will create a digest of what people are really saying in response.
Indeed. Fine post, Bellflower!
Finny, to what you wrote I'd only add that some people were not just stone-cold ignorant about the Romney record but belligerently so. Willfully so. I can understand the ABO mindset but the groupthink to which so many mainstream Republicans surrendered regarding Romney's 'conservatism' was disheartening. Vote for the man if you must but at least be aware of what you're getting.
I think the vote fraud issue will once again put the much-maligned base against our 'betters' in the GOP-E. All those people who said they would 'hold Romney's feet to the fire' if he were elected President can transfer their ardor to this issue. If we lose elections, then we lose them, but let's at least do all we can to make sure the elections are fair.

Domestic violence against men isn't always easy to identify, but it can be a serious threat. Know how to recognize if you're being abused — and how to get help.
Women aren't the only victims of domestic violence. Understand the signs of domestic violence against men, and know how to get help.
Domestic violence — also known as intimate partner violence — occurs between people in an intimate relationship. Domestic violence against men can take many forms, including emotional, sexual and physical abuse and threats of abuse. It can happen in heterosexual or same-sex relationships.
It might not be easy to recognize domestic violence against men. Early in the relationship, your partner might seem attentive, generous and protective in ways that later turn out to be controlling and frightening. Initially, the abuse might appear as isolated incidents. Your partner might apologize and promise not to abuse you again.
In other relationships, domestic violence against men might include both partners slapping or shoving each other when they get angry — and neither partner seeing himself or herself as being abused or controlled. This type of violence, however, can still devastate a relationship, causing both physical and emotional damage.
You might be experiencing domestic violence if your partner:
If you're gay, bisexual or transgender, you might also be experiencing domestic violence if you're in a relationship with someone who:
Domestic violence affects children, even if they're just witnesses. If you have children, remember that exposure to domestic violence puts them at risk of developmental problems, psychiatric disorders, problems at school, aggressive behavior and low self-esteem. You might worry that seeking help could further endanger you and your children, or that it might break up your family. Fathers might fear that abusive partners will try to take their children away from them. However, getting help is the best way to protect your children — and yourself.
If you're in an abusive situation, you might recognize this pattern:
Typically the violence becomes more frequent and severe over time.
Domestic violence can leave you depressed and anxious. You might be more likely to abuse alcohol or drugs or engage in unprotected sex. Because men are traditionally thought to be physically stronger than women, you might be less likely to report domestic violence in your heterosexual relationship due to embarrassment. You might also worry that the significance of the abuse will be minimized because you're a man. Similarly, a man being abused by another man might be reluctant to talk about the problem because of how it reflects on his masculinity or because it exposes his sexual orientation.
If you seek help, you also might confront a shortage of resources for male victims of domestic violence. Health care providers and other contacts might not think to ask if your injuries were caused by domestic violence, making it harder to open up about abuse. You might fear that if you talk to someone about the abuse, you'll be accused of wrongdoing yourself. Remember, though, if you're being abused, you aren't to blame — and help is available.
Start by telling someone about the abuse, whether it's a friend, relative, health care provider or other close contact. At first, you might find it hard to talk about the abuse. However, you'll also likely feel relief and receive much-needed support.
Leaving an abuser can be dangerous. Consider taking these precautions:
An abuser can use technology to monitor your telephone and online communication and to track your physical location. If you're concerned for your safety, seek help. To maintain your privacy:
In an emergency, call 911 — or your local emergency number or law enforcement agency. The following resources also can help:
Domestic violence against men can have devastating effects. Although you may not be able to stop your partner's abusive behavior, you can seek help. Remember, no one deserves to be abused.

Guardian of RainYamamoto Takeshi
i think someone should die allready.
but finally they explained how espada came to be, but not how they removed their mask
How do you eat something so humongeous as a gillian or a adjucha? Especially is your as small as grimmjow was. But cool chapter, Im glad I know how adjucha's are made now, I used to think they just "were" and you couldn't become one. Wonder what the requirements are to become a Vasto Lorde, maybe grimmjow will turn into one???
A pie in the sky?
Message from the Blacknoah:
Hmm, this battle is following the path of the Sasuke-Deidara fight... I sense an imbalance in the force.
But I must agree: Great explanation about the Gillians. That's one thing that was missing in the Sasuke-Deidara battle: Explanation of origins.
Repeat this after me: I will never take on a god AGAIN! -Omega Rugal KOF '98
I was really satisfied with that chapter, the reason those arrancar followed grimmjow is perfectly clear now, and that attack of his will probably put ichigo in a bad way, unless someone can protect (Go super protector Nell!!!)
The panther Grimmjow reminded me of a character from Beast Wars..
Why don't more people read these mangas?
Is it me or did the chapter seem to be shorter than usually? Anyway pretty good chapter(much better than last weeks)the gillian story was cool.
Bleach is going on sooooo slow recently...
I really dislike how these fights really have such minimal strategic aspects to them.
I thought Grimjaw is a Sea monster. So he really is a panther. Another week again.. can't wait for 285 to release. ^_^

It really helps with menopausal symptoms
Verified Purchase
It really helps with menopausal symptoms
I tried other brands of black cohosh and they gave me headaches and didn't help with hot flashes or night sweats. Taking this NOW Foods brand of Black Cohosh twice a day, along with Gamma Oryzanol (120 mg. 3 times a day) has made living through menopause bearable. I was ready to go on synthetic hormones until I found this combination. Painful and annoying hot flashes and feelings of inner tremors had literally hijacked my life. I got 3 hot flashes an hour before. As long as I take this combination of supplements 3 times a day, I can feel normal again. Taking either alone isn't as good as the combination. I'm so happy I don't have to take hormones and raise my risk for breast cancer now. Try the combination. It might take a few weeks before you see the results, but it works.

Helped with hot flushes
Posted by AIM-FOR-GOOD-HEALTH on Mar 15, 2016
Helped with hot flushes to a degree and for a period of time but then I got so bad with hot flushes nothing seemed to help. In the end I resolved my issue by addressing over-stressed adrenals (a common problem with menopause!) and took the herb Schizandra - miracle stuff. I am now cured of Chronic fatigue and insomnia and flushes are very manageable. In my experience it is critical to get to the root cause of your symptoms in order to succeed in aiming for good health. It pays to see a Naturopath or Herbalist for some advice, although in this case I worked it out for myself, the slow and painful way - 9 years of searching lead me to Schizandra, a major Chinese herb with wonderful benefits.

Senate Bill 83, introduced in the South Dakota Senate and referred to the Senate Education Committee on January 25, 2016, would, if enacted, allow teachers to teach "the strengths and weaknesses of scientific information" presented in courses aligned with the state education standards.
House File 2054, introduced in the Iowa House of Representatives on January 19, 2016, and referred to the House Committee on Education, would, if enacted, reverse Iowa's decision to adopt the Next Generation Science Standards — and there is reason to believe that part of the motivation is the NGSS's treatment of evolution and climate change.

Luhr Jensen Hot Lips Express
The Hot Lips Express by Luhr Jensen has been a favorite deep diving crankbait of bass fisherman for years. The wide lip design is perfect for deflecting the Hot Lips Express off of wood or any other hard bottom cover this crankbait may encounter. The Hot Lips Express has proven to be an excellent crankbait for the strolling technique and has become a go to bait for deep structure fisherman as it can reach much deeper depths than most standard deep diving crankbaits.

Comments: These Luhr Jensen Hot Lure Hot Lips Express lures, in the 1/4, 1/2 oz, are the deepest crankbaits in extinction. No other bait can go this deep! Cover is its' deepest foe. Fish this bait over points and deep structure. The Luhr Jenson Hot Lips Express is a extra deep hard pulling lure, that takes a fisherman or fisherwoman to the edge of excitement, and produces bass and other fish, that have never seen a lure!
From: William: Thomaston, GA 1/27/15
Comments: I have only used the 3/4 oz and this lure might have been out a little while and may not be the prettiest lure out there but it definately has caught just as many fish for me as any other and is definately the best deep crank for the price so use it and abuse it! The hooks seem to work fine for a while but i end up changing them after a few trips or after several fish anyway but other than that it seems to be a decent lure!
From: Wesley: Rogersville, AL
Comments: I have not tried the 3/4 ounce bait but the 1/2 ounce baits do not get down fast enough. I think they are better fit for trolling.
From: Nate: Pasco, WA
Comments: i bought some of these baits when they came out years ago and still have them. they are good crank baits but i changed the hooks. the kvd short shanks work great. they fish well over rock piles and are more weedless than any crank bait i ever used. the new colors like rootbeer and wedgy are great. the bass in lake berryessa ca. love these lures in the bluegill/perch color.
From: Wes: Salinas, CA
Comments: These cranks really get down deep. The only problem I have had with them is that the hooks bend a lot and you seem to lose a lot of fish on them. Once I changed to better hooks though it was deadly.
Comments: Great action for fishing those off shore structure in 20 plus feet. The green talapia and redear are the best producers here in the southeast.

After hundreds of scientific studies, there is no evidence that chocolate is an immediate cause of obesity. The total number of calories consumed, the digestion of those calories and the balance in the consumption of proteins, carbohydrates and fats play the predominant role in the prevention of obesity.
Cocoa and chocolate alone do not damage your teeth. Scientific analyses of cocoa and chocolate indicate only very small concentrations of the substances which can cause caries or carry out an acidic attack on tooth enamel. In fact, cocoa naturally contains substances that combat oral bacteria.
The American Dietary Association and the American Academy of Dermatology currently discount any link between chocolate and acne. No study has found evidence for chocolate as a cause of acne.
Chocolate is often suspected of causing migraines. However, no scientific proof has ever been found.

Hi guys. I have been here for a week or so but just noticed the introduction forum.
I am new to Buddhism but have found it to be a spring of refreshing water after wandering the deserts of religion for a very long time. Years of Christianity, then gnosticism, then paganism, then Christianity, then gnosticism, etc, etc left me a bit jaded on God and spirituality as a whole. This passage from the psalms is pretty much how i felt, 'as a stag longs for a stream, so my heart longs for you O God'.
My last go around with gnosticism lead me to try meditation again as many gnostics do this. I had tried it before without much luck. This time I decided to read some books on Buddhism as they seemed to know a lot about meditation. I read Zen Mind, Beginners Mind and I haven't looked back.
The practice of zazen has really helped me. The Zen idea about 'just sit and do zazen' is incredibly refreshing to a mind that can't seem to grasp onto anything anymore. At this point I am sick of scriptures(not saying there is anything wrong with scriptures, but that's been my focus in other religions, i do hope to study Buddhist scripture eventually), so the Zen tradition is very appealing to me as I do zazen and ponder the noble truths and precepts and try to walk the 8-fold path. As I look deeper into Buddhism I find it's view on the world, life and death makes sense to a mind that had trouble aligning other religions teachings to something I could grasp.
I look forward to learning more from the folks on this forum. From my few days already on here you have been very helpful and I than you for that!

Hi and welcome gord. Although I am a student of Tibetan buddhism, Zen Mind, Beginners Mind is still one of my favourite books. It can be read again and again as you go deeper into it's meaning.

Life-saving and life-shaping gestures by Good Samaritans highlight this week's list of the most uplifting stories:
1. Mom breaks back in 3-story jump to save baby: When a fire trapped Christina Simoes in a bedroom of her third-story apartment with her 18-month-old son, she did the only thing she could: She cradled her boy and jumped from the balcony. Her son is fine, but Simoes broke her back and may never walk again. And she says it was worth it.
2. Teen calls cops on family; Cop buys him a bed: Few calls to police go quite as well as the one 13-year-old Cameron Simmons placed a few weeks ago. After an argument with his mom, the teen in Sumter, SC, called the police to say he was done living with his family. Officer Gaetano Acerra arrived and told Simmons to stick it out, but he saw that the teen lacked some necessities. Weeks later he showed up in a truck bearing a bed, a TV, a desk, a chair, and even a not-so-necessary Wii.
3. Oregon governor stops cars to aid woman: On his way to dinner in Portland this week, Oregon Gov. John Kitzhaber spotted a woman unconscious along the roadside—so he halted his driver, jumped out, and made use of his skills as an ER doctor to give her CPR. The woman survived.
4. #RedBalloonsforRyan goes viral: An outpouring of love has stunned the parents of a 3-year-old Ryan Saldana, who was struck and killed by a car while playing Frisbee. Family friend and blogger Alissa Circle then started the hashtag #redballoonsforryan so people could share thoughts and images of the boy with flaming red hair. It quickly exceeded all expectations.
5. Loyal dog stays by owner's body: A search team in Colorado found the body of a missing 81-year-old skier, but they had to get by his loyal golden retriever Buddy first. The dog was described in the sheriff's report as being in a "protective state," guarding the body of Robert Blake from scavengers, particularly coyotes seen in the area the previous night.

I sounds like some kind of sewer problem, but hat kind of smell, where is the washer, where and how does the washer drain, city sewer or septic tank, how long has this been going on, has anyone worked on the drain system and if so, what was done. Any other information might or might not help.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The FBI was working with Mexican authorities Wednesday to bring a former University of Southern California professor arrested at a Caribbean beach town back to California to face charges of traveling abroad to engage in sex crimes with children.
Walter Lee Williams, 64, who was placed on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted list on Monday, is charged in the U.S. with sexual exploitation of children and traveling abroad for the purpose of engaging in sexual acts with children.
Prosecutor Gaspar Armando Garcia Torres said in Cancun, Mexico, that Williams was captured late Tuesday while drinking coffee near a park in the resort town of Playa del Carmen.
"This person is wanted by the FBI because he is linked to the sexual exploitation of children," Garcia told reporters.
The FBI said it would provide more details on his capture at a press conference scheduled for 4 p.m. Wednesday in Los Angeles.
Garcia said it wasn't clear how long Williams had been living in Playa del Carmen and that the fugitive also had an address in nearby Cancun, where he was taken and turned over to Mexican immigration officials.
Garcia did not say whether Williams is suspected of committing any crimes in Mexico.
A federal arrest warrant was issued for the former Palm Springs, Calif., resident in Los Angeles in April, according to the FBI website.
The four-count indictment alleges Williams traveled from Los Angeles to the Philippines in January 2011 to engage in sex acts with two 14-year-old boys he met online in 2010, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement Monday.
"He allegedly engaged in sexual activity via Internet webcam sessions with these boys and expressed a desire to visit them in the Philippines to have sex," it states.
While in the Philippines, Williams allegedly engaged in sex acts with both boys and produced sexually explicit photos of one of the boys, bringing it back to Los Angeles County. Williams fled the Los Angeles area approximately one week after returning from the Philippines, the statement said.
Federal authorities believe Williams fled to Mexico once he learned of the investigation against him, according to court documents filed to seal the indictment until he was taken into custody.
Until February 2011, Williams was a tenured professor at the University of Southern California where he taught history, anthropology and gender studies.
"USC is fully cooperating with the FBI investigation," the university said in a statement. "The FBI has informed us that at this time there is no evidence that any of his alleged illegal activities were associated with the university or took place on campus."
Williams was also affiliated with the Buddhist Universal Association of Los Angeles according to the FBI.
"Williams has an extensive history of travel throughout the South East Asia region, specifically the Philippines," the FBI said. "He has reportedly resided in Indonesia, Polynesia and Thailand."
The FBI said he may have also traveled to Peru.
"I analyzed the computers and the camera that belong to Williams and found child pornography," said Special Agent Jeff Yesensky, in a video about Williams posted on the FBI's website Monday to bring attention to the case.
"He preys on the most vulnerable children," Yesensky added.

Deeplinks Blog posts about NSA Spying
The fallout from the passage of the USA FREEDOM Act continues.
One of EFF's three cases against the NSA, Smith v. Obama, has been sent back to the trial court by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. The lawsuit was brought by an Idaho neonatal nurse, Anna Smith, who was outraged to discover that the NSA was engaging in bulk collection of telephone records. This same program is challenged in our First Unitarian Church of Los Angeles v. NSA case and has also always been a part of our long-running Jewel v. NSA case.
The European Commission and the U.S. Department of Commerce have finally announced the details of the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield, an agreement designed to ensure that personal data can flow between Europe and the U.S. for commercial purposes while maintaining the privacy rights Europeans have come to love and expect. Lawmakers in the U.S. and abroad were under intense pressure to produce some sort of agreement after the European Court of Justice (CJEU) dissolved the safe harbor agreement related to transatlantic data flows last October, leaving countless international tech firms in a lurch about how to handle data. The court decision and subsequent negotiation could have been a powerful motivator for the U.S. to clean up its surveillance policies.
With a presidential election looming this fall, mass media and social media will be more focused on policy issues over the next several months than likely at any other point until 2020. We've put together a questionnaire for the candidates to invite them to explain their own policy platforms. We'll let you know what they say, and in the meantime encourage others to ask these questions themselves at campaign events, fundraisers, town halls, or informal appearances.
As a tax-exempt non-profit organization, we are forbidden from endorsing or opposing any candidate for office, so to be clear: we think voters can and should make their own choices. But we also think it's important for voters to know where the candidates stand on a variety of issues implicating digital rights, from the TPP to mass surveillance. These might not be the only issues that matter in choosing a candidate, but they are important to consider.
Here are a few questions that EFF is asking:
We won a groundbreaking legal victory late Friday in our Jewel v. NSA case, which challenges the NSA's Internet and telephone surveillance. Judge Jeffrey White has authorized EFF, on behalf of the plaintiffs, to conduct discovery against the NSA. We had been barred from doing so since the case was filed in 2008, which meant that the government was able to prevent us from requesting important information about how these programs worked.
This morning, the White House announced an Executive Order establishing a federal interagency privacy council composed of senior privacy officials from two dozen federal agencies. While seeming to offer some promise, however, the council has a limited mandate, and ultimately represents an overdue nod to privacy principles the administration has repeatedly abused in practice.
If the Obama administration wants to support privacy, it can start by finally offering straight answers to Congress on surveillance and intelligence practices that offend privacy. Instead, Congress has legislated surveillance policy in the dark while enduring a long series of executive misrepresentations.

About This Reel
Weighing in at only 6.5oz, the Shimano Chronarch 150 CI4 Casting Reel takes reel performance to a whole new level. Lighter and more advanced than ever before, its CI4+ construction allowed Shimano to greatly reduce its overall weight, while still maintaining incredible rigidity and strength. Actually 250% stronger than the original CI4 material, CI4+ is also over one-and-a-half times stronger than Shimano's normal XT-7 graphite and is over 20% lighter as well. Since CI4+ does not contain any metal, it is impervious to rust, making the Chronorch CI4+ a great choice for fishing saltwater or brackish water.
The patented X-Ship Gearing also increases cranking power more than 205 to help you tame the hardest fighting fish. Its eight S-ARB bearing system (7+1) keeps things running smoothly, and its new SVS Infinity Casting System delivers a wide range of precision brake adjustments, consistent brake force, and easier access. Winner of the 2013 ICAST "Best of Show" in the Freshwater Reel category, the Shimano Chronarch 150 CI4 Casting Reel delivers the high-end performance anglers have come to expect from Shimano.

Customer Feedback
Comments: I have around 15 bait cast reels and this is still one of my favorites (own 3). It does everything well (skipping, casting, pitching) so pick one up while it's on sale.
From: Paul: Texas 2/9/17
Comments: Got mine when it first came out & when I started to bass fish. Really didn't know how good or spoiled I was getting because of this thing. Now I have 2 & couldn't be happier. Still able to throw light baits far and has now dropped its performance in 4 years! Great reel!
From: Tou: Tulsa, OK 2/5/16
Comments: awesome craw! Only one I use other then maybe rage tail craws. Durable, nice action, and life like with great scent. What more could you want. I use it as a jig trailer mostly.
From: Noah: Wilmington, NC 12/25/15
Comments: This reel is incredible. Smooth retrieve, strong drag, palms like a dream. When I hit the lottery, I'm buying a few more!
From: Justin: GA 12/11/15
Comments: This is a great reel. Would spend the money anytime. It is great parts & i have had mine for 3 years & has been working great ever since i have opened it. Great job shimano
From: Ryan: Riverside, IL 12/6/15
Comments: This reel is phenomenal! Just got mine a few days ago and even without replacing the stock bearings this thing can flat out cast. Switching over from Lews it took me a few casts to dial in the different braking system. I'll still use Lews reels but I'll be stocking up on shimano products as well for next tournament season. Having confidence in your gear will give you more confidence all around, thus making you a better angler. If you're into or thinking about getting into tournament angling then I highly suggest you buy this reel. If you're fishing more for recreation there are cheaper options that will get the job done. Lews LFS isn't bad at $99 for recreational use.
From: Jessie: Moore, OK 10/24/15
Comments: Bought the 6:2:1 initially for throwing squarebills & it works perfectly for that with the extra speed, but later learned this reel is perfect for throwing soft plastic swimbaits. Throws a 5" Basstrix Paddle Tail with 1/4 OZ belly weighted hook a mile. This reel is the perfect all around reel. I'll be buying a bunch more and this will be the only reel I use moving forward.
From: Andrew: Arlington, VA 9/15/15
Comments: this is one of the best reals I have ever owned. It is tough enough to pull bass out of the grass on Toho and Okeechobee. I love this reel so much I keep buying more.
From: Justin: OH 7/25/15
Comments: This shimano it very light & egos are awesome so comfortable & well balanced. Couple tries getting the brake & magnet set up working right & it was game on throw slower and smoother to go farther. casting is incredible. reeling in feels strong & positive. Very accurate caster & gets smoother every time i use it Brings the fun back to casting For someone that doesn't want just a bait caster but doesn't need a 500 reel this 269 i promise feels like the more expensive brothers and at mid price point to wont go wrong
From: Mike: Locust Grove, CA 6/22/15
Comments: CI4+ = Great. Lefty retrieve 6:2:1 paired with G Loomis CBR845 Deep Cranking Rod. Smooth and strong. Plenty of backbone to stick em and work em up from deeper water.
From: Andrew: Arlington, VA 6/13/15
Comments: Absolutely love this reel - I've been fishing the heck out of it for months now. Feels great, great aesthetics, awesome brake control, and casts a mile.
From: John: Gilbert, AZ 3/25/15
Comments: these things are smooth man. wow. I got the white chronarch when it first came out and that things a beast, and i thought it couldn't get better. oh baby it did. this pig is lighter and a sweet drag. just picked up 2 more. instant classic
From: Joey: USA 2/8/15
Comments: I've had this reel for awhile now and it's not bad at all. casts light and heavy lures easily and far (was able to cast a third of roboworm on a 3/0 light wire hook on 14 pound flouro) the breaks are great and the drag is super smooth. my only gripe with this reel is that it doesn't feel as smooth as the chronarch e's imo. but does everything else fantastically
From: Mitch: MN 10/30/14
Comments: These are fantastic reels. Not PERFECT, but still wonderful. They feel wonderful from an ergonomic standpoint both in terms of weight and shape. The drag is perfectly smooth when battling big fish that need some give. The ability to micro-adjust the centrifugal brakes on the outside is very handy. These chronarchs cast both heavy and light baits further with less effort than anything else I own or have tried. I do find the need to make micro adjustments with the outer dial if I go from casting with the wind to casting against it. If I don't, the line starts to get a bit out of control. That said, this is still the finest bait casting reel I've used to date.
From: Brian: Oak Forest, IL 10/23/14
Comments: The smoothness and lightness of this reel makes it a real treat for chucking hardware all night long. The new braking system and adjustments for Shimano is excellent and very versatile. You can simply open and turn on 2 internal pegs and forget about it or if you want to fine tune for every lure the option is there - I mentioned this due to some on-line comments I've read that it's too complicated and over-engineered and it's NOT. I'm extremely happy with this reel and finally Shimano simplified their braking system. I've landed over a dozen Chinooks this season with the CI4+ and 2 were over 25 lbs and the drag system is super smooth. Thanks TW for the excellent service and timely delivery - 10/10 for consistency.
From: Roberto: Ontario, Canada 10/18/14
Comments: I picked up two of these from TW. First thing, the range of adjustments you can do for the reel are nothing like any Shimano I have had before. I think this is a good thing because rod actions are evolving and the ability to fine tune is necessary to cast each bait effectively. I have not had them very long, but I am very impressed. I broke down the reels to do a little degreasing, adding of carbontex drag washers and BigGreenFish bearings as I do with all my reels so I can accurately compare them to my other reels. Worth the money IMHO.
From: Matt: Broken Arrow, OK 10/15/14
Comments: great reel. After our whole season of use this reel is still as smooth as the day I bought it, this reel is so good that I bought a second one a few months ago. Lightweight and casts great
From: Josh: Brampton, Ontario Canada 10/13/14
Comments: Have had this reel for 4 months and used it for Pitching jigs and beavers exclusively. when I would cast a jig out(to swim it) with all the settings backed off, the reel would make a clacking noise. I never thought much of it until A day ago when i cracked a 6lber and my handle spun backwards making clacking noises. I caught the fish but I pulled on the line after and around 7lbs of pressure the reel would clack and the handle would spin backwards. Its a shame cause I really liked the reel.
From: Matt: FL 10/7/14
Comments: I think this one of the best everyday reels on the market for this price at the moment! Is it that good? Yes it is! It casts a mile, its strong, the braking system is phenomenal, its light weighted and its... Shimano... Only 1 little downside, the CI4 scratches easily.
From: Michael: Capelle, Netherlands 10/2/14
Comments: I just bought a new C14 Shimano and a Revo Premiere 3 series. They both were very smooth and weighed within half ounce of each other. Final impression is that the C14 is a fine reel but a bit over engineered for me. I could see a lot of wasted fishing and tournament time having to adjust internal brakes for different wind and lure types and weights.
From: Jim: Huntsville, AL 8/10/14
Comments: love this reel! It's smooth, powerful, great casting, good feel in hand while palming it. After spending a lot of money i found what i was looking for, one side note got a lemon from shimano and a lemon from lews took a month for shimano, lews has 3 day turnaround on warranty issues. Buy the chronarch its great!
From: Scott: Little River, SC 8/5/14
Comments: I love this reel! The size of this reel is great. It looks good and it's lightweight. Paired up with the right rod and it balances out perfectly. It casts really far, and far surpasses my old Curado's. It can even handle lighter weight lures much better than other reels I have used. I love the new SVS braking system. I love being able to adjust on the fly with the click of a wheel. If you're on the fence about whether to spend the money on this reel or not, just do it. You won't be disappointed!
From: Seth: Pittsburgh, PA 6/27/14
Comments: I was skeptical about this new coronary at first, and it took a while to get used to the svs braking, but man am I glad I bought it. 6 months later its my favorite reel to pick up. Casting is effortless with no backlash, the reel is smooth, and paired with the right rod, its a pleasure to hold all day. Shimano did good with this one.
From: Daniel: Statesboro, GA 6/18/14
Comments: My wife got this for me for my birthday. I love this reel. Smooth retrieve, excellent drag, and cast extremely well if you set the brakes right. Well worth the money.
From: Bronson: Sacremento, CA 6/7/14
Comments: Ergonomics: very easy to hold and control when not palming, and then palming brings out the great ergonomics of the body shape. Handle grip material is septon, and their shape is fine. It's as light in weight as you can want; Winding is very smooth, though I only have a few months worth of use right now. Drag: close-or-on-par with other carbon or greased carbon drags that I own. Casting: excellent and predictable. It's better than the Curado 50E when dialed in. Throws lightweight lures well enough that it doesn't matter in bass fishing. I don't quite like the new SVS but it works fine enough. Overall this is a much-better-than-good-to-great reel, well worth the money.
From: Joe: NJ 6/2/14
Comments: At first I wasn't that impressed with this reel but as I started to use this thing more and more only one word can describe it effortless.. It may not be the smoothest but it casts sooo damn good who cares I barely flick my wrist and it zoomed a 3/16 shakeyhead 30 yards it's unbelievable.. My favorite reel wish I could change all my reels to this one
From: Peter: NH 6/2/14
Comments: The best reel I ever used. I like this reels more than all my Curado 200E. Very smooth, strong and light. Use it's with G.Loomis MBR 844 GLX an BCR853. Excellent combinations for senko and punching.
From: Alex: New York City, NY 5/23/14
Comments: All I can say is wow I took the reel out today right after I got and caught I 6ib and a 5 with a frog this thing cast smooth and far it's ridiculous love this over any of my lews and abus going back next week and getting 2 more it's worth every penny.
From: Matt: Cumming, GA 5/8/14
Comments: I have the chronarh CI4+ in 7.6:1 gear ratio put on St. Croix legend tournament bass pitchin light flippin rod and 18 lb sunline shooter. Just caught my first two bass of the year with it. Best combo I own. Fartherest casting Shimano, I like it more than the core. Tight lines and God bless.
From: Shane: MI 4/18/14
Comments: This reel was nice until the spool got all rusted. How did this reel win icast for best freshwarer reel. The curado 200 I is 10 times better and not even made in japan. C'ome on shimano! Im so disappointed. Send it to shimano for a new spool. Hopefully, hopefully mine was a lemon.
From: Luis: TX 4/5/14
Comments: This is one amazing reel. Super light and tough with amazing casting distance. It amazes me how shimano always seems to come up with something different and 99% of the time alot better. If you buy this you wont be disappointed.
From: Ryan: Minneapolis, MN 3/24/14
Comments: I recently bought the new Chronarch and I'm amazed at the smoothness of the reel.
From: Hubie: Greenwood, SC 3/16/14
Comments: This reel is awesome. Works fine with 50lb braid, which is what I currently have on it (Swimbait rig). I don't know what the deal is with the few negative reviews on here, but it does say in the instructions that you need to oil the braking system after every use. I've only had to do it after every third outing with it. I LOVE THIS REEL. I will be buying another, and another...
From: Shawn: Tampa, FL
Comments: I received one of these as a Christmas gift, being from Iowa, I won't get to use it for a while, but my first impression was that this is a well made reel. The handle turns very smoothly, I have it on a 13 Omen rod and it balances and palms perfectly. All the lines are clean, and the fit and finish is excellent. Can't wait to get this out on the water to see what it'll do.
From: Keegan: IA
Comments: I received the chronarch ci4+ for Christmas this year. right out of the box it is running terrible. not smooth whatsoever and makes a terrible noise when I attempt to crank the handle has anyone else had this problem and what should I do to fix it
From: Dan: Chicago, IL
Comments: very smooth, casts great, so far its a great little reel.as far as the negative comments go you cant make everyone happy.there always that one person thats in the minority that you cant make happy.enough said
From: Jeff: Orland park,il
Comments: This reel is the cream of the crop. I had used mine everyday for the past couple weeks. Easy to fine tune and casts like a dream. Bar non best reel I have used!!!! Sooo good I just ordered a second in the other gear ratio. Reel is well worth every penny and more!! Way to go Shimano!!!!
From: Darren: Warrenton, Va
Comments: Good reel so far. Light weight, smooth cranking, and a smooth drag (upping it a couple more pounds would be nice!). I haven't used it for bass fishing yet so I can't comment on the the casting capabilities. Broke in this reel with a 15lb chrome salmon in the feather and it handle the fish fine. No complaints so far.
From: bay area, ca
Comments: Review:AMAZING! casts a mile and a half with ease brake system is incredible and it's extremely light. i had a lew's speed spool before this and this is a HUGE improvement worth the money
From: Jon: London Ontario Canada
Comments: This is a superior reel. It is light, strong, and controllable with the turn of the dial.
From: Larry: Houston, TX USA
Comments: Great reel! This is the smoothest reel I have ever owned and the CI4+ is extremely light without feeling cheap. I have had this reel for a little over a week now, and enjoy it more everyday. The new casting controls are excellent and I have yet to have a backlash with this reel. I have had no problems with the reel clacking on casts or ticking while reeling, but I only time will tell with the durability issue. I am looking forward to many years with this setup. Super reel, you will not regret this purchase!
From: Shane: Pitts, GA, USA
Comments: it is a solid reel. bought the 7.6 to 1. my only negative comment about it is that when hooking into bigger fish the reel seems to twist a little. maybe its the loomis GL2 I put it on that makes it feel that way but overall a very nice reel.
From: Mike: mpls mn usa
Comments: once I figured out the braking system this reel casts light lures a mile with virtually no effort best reel I own!!!!

Harrisburg High School head wrestling coach doesn't want the score against Marion to be indicative of just how well his team performed Tuesday night.
Marion won 72-12 in a dual match at Bonnell Gymnasium, but Langley said, while the final tally may not show it, his guys were right there with the Wildcats in five matches point wise when they gave up a pin.
"This one went about like I thought it might," Langley said. "I knew going in that Marion had a veteran team and we are pretty young and have many inexperienced guys going for us right now.
"I told the kids afterwards that it is extremely early in the season, we are behind in our conditioning due to the late start and we are young."
That being said, Langley added that despite just two wins, one for Darren O' Dell, a sophomore in the 113-pound weight class and another for Austin Lowry, also a sophomore, in the 126-pound weight class, Harrisburg (0-1) just could not finish like Langley was hoping for.
"We have to get our young guys to finish their matches and put together three periods of wrestling. This group picks things up well and we will continue to work in practice and make improvements."
O'Dell won with a pin fall in 4:56, while Lowry won with a fall time of 3:31.
The Wildcats won 12 out of the 14 matches by pins. Marion had to forfeit the 113-pound match, but had mostly no trouble with the Bulldogs.
Marion's Justin Edwards defeated James Baker by pin in 4:29 in the 145-pound match. In the 152-pound match, Marion's Mitchell Bartle pinned Harrisburg's Lucian Hicks in 2:38.
At 160 pounds, Marion's Jon Evetts pinned Zach Perkins in just 1:23. Marion's Jonah Belanger pinned Harrisburg's Bryan Miller in 5:16 in the 170-pound matchup.
At 195 pounds, Marion's Tony Allen won by pin. He pinned Cole Adams in 3:56.
Marion's Tyrone Maples (220 pounds) defeated Tyler Owens in 4:33.
In the heavyweight bout, Marion's Preston Lunon downed Brandon Thom in 1:45.
Marion's Chase McGee and Brandon Tennyson won by forfeits.
Marion's Michael James (120 pounts) got past Tyler Sullivan in 3 minutes.
The Wildcats' C.J. Morrison (132 pounds) pinned the Bulldogs' Cody Rightnowar in 4:30. Marion's Luke Abott won by pin over Brandon Tanner of Harrisburg at 138 pounds in 3:38.
Harrisburg will host Murphysboro on Thursday, starting at 6:30 p.m.

"My feet are two different sizes and I usually have to deal with one shoe being very uncomfortable while the other fits perfect.... NOT WITH THESE! They are so comfortable and I love the small wedge!"

Comfortable Sandle

Extremely Comfortable
"This shoe looks and feels (and makes you feel) like a million bucks. The leather is very high quality and the shoe is well-made. It's striking on your feet - with a simple outfit they'll grab attention, but you can overpower them if you want to. I have slightly narrow feet and these fit me perfectly, so I'd be careful if you have wider feet. But take a chance and try them - they're EXTREMELY comfortable! No strange rubbing from all those straps, the leather is very soft, and the heel height is just right for extended wear."

Cute AND comfy
"These are comfortable right out of the box AND they are stylish and cute. Perfect height for the office and look great with skirts, capri pants and regular length pants. I love them. Got them in black and my only mistake was not geting them in dark brown when they had my size."

"I loved this sandal. I have worn it several times and they are very comfortable. The heel height is not too high and the brown color goes with everything."
