The Emery County Economic Development Council hosted a Customer Service Symposium in Green River which also touched on tourism. In the afternoon session Ethan Migliori from the Rural Small Business development office and Rob Powell from CEU gave their perspectives on customer service. Migliori asked, "How are we doing on customer service." Our business is not about what we sell, it's who we serve. Migliori had the participants list all who we serve in a business. The list included: taxpayers, customers, family, ourselves, employees, boss, coworkers, vendors, etc. Migliori said businesses need to get the big picture and they will do better by defining who we serve; we serve everyone.
Migliori said he is fascinated by Julius Caesar. Caesar learned about politics; got an education and he was a great military genius. His troops were very loyal to Caesar. They even defended him while he had his epilepsy attacks which lasted for long periods of time during a battle. How many of you are loyal to your boss or employees?
When it comes to customer service it is both internal and external. Four key principles are: service, attitude, consistency and teamwork. What do those whom we serve expect from us. Caesar was a powerful leader he could move his army faster than any other army. Inside your organization everyone must be on the same page, communcation must be there. Have the courage to make things right for the customer.
Migliori encouraged the audience to think about your customer experience. What was your problem? What was the solution? Why did you choose to buy what you did? He said you can gain focus by doing a 360 survey with you in the middle looking out at the whole big picture. Realize the internal and external parts of your business. Reputation might allow more opportunities in, opportunities flow through if we have our internal workings in line including team work. If an opportunity comes and we don't meet expectations then there is work to be done.
"Have it your way, was a great slogan for Burger King but their operation couldn't support it, their sales decreased because it slowed them down, individualizing orders took more time, it wasn't fast food anymore. How often do we have an operation that isn't supported, there could be an easy solution.
"Attitude, is a manner of acting, feeling or thinking that shows ones disposition and opinion. I coach a little boys baseball team, some of the boys stand out because of their attitude. If they strike out, then out in the field they miss the ball. They dwell on their mistake, some of those boys you can tell them to shake it off, some can shake it off, but some it puts farther in the hole and makes it worse. When it comes to us as employees, if something has happened we're having a bad day, not enough sleep, if we bring that bad attitude to work, it shows to everyone, attitude ripples, we need to learn how to deal with it correctly and nip it in the bud. Bad attitude will destroy profits and go through a business. If you want to have good customer service you need good attitudes. How you think about the customer is how you will treat them. Change that attitude and you will treat them differently.
"If we stop at a gas station in Green River and we are treated very nice we are more likely to stop there again and give a good recommendation by word of mouth. Consistency is important to customers. Consistency and pattern will help determine how a customer feels on the rare occasion we don't give them what they expect. Teamwork is important. Study perceptions and see the big picture," said Migliori.
Powell introduced himself to the class, he said he was a counselor at a drug and alcohol facility where they worked three days on and three days off because teenagers were most willing to talk at night. The last seven years Powell has taught at CEU. He has taught human relationships, how to play nice in the sandbox classes, He said customer service starts internally. He talked about a class he took on communication, for five hours they talked about great eye contact, asking questions like how does that make you feel, good technique, but it was like putting frosting on a cow pie, 'You can take a cow pie and dry it out, make it look better, color it, frost it, put it on a table with balloons and lights, play theme music and add sprinkles. The cowpie might look more attractive, but it's still a cowpie. Customer service has to be genuine, you can't pretend to be happy to be there to wait on the customer.
The news show 60 Minutes did a story on the problem with communication, you can smile your best smile, and learn very early what to say and what not to say, but it becomes frosting. One of the things that is deteriorating is our relationships. Donald Trump is famous for a quote, 'at no other time in history have we been more capable of communicating and been so lousy at it.' We are losing a lot of our communication skills.
Every great business is built on friendship. Does your job make a difference? Do you make a difference? What do people remember about a place? gas stations, motels? and who does it make a difference for? We are all connected, the things we do affect other people. We don't just hurt ourselves. Make it enjoyable and fun for everyone. Sam Walton said, 'There is only one boss. The customer, and he can fire everybody in the company simply by spending his money somewhere else.'
Powell talked about businesses who have their pens on a chain, because they are worried about people taking them. "Put your name on the pen and let them take all they want." Consistency. Do what you do so well they will want to see it again and bring their friends.
Recreate every day, some days aren't good days. Customers when they come in, they need to know we want to be there and not in a fake way. Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends. Customers usually don't come alone. When we can give to our customers and make them happy then they'll come back. Relationships get them to come back. We may have quality products, but relationships are the most important part. If you work shiftwork, sometimes you want to know who you are working with. Does it make a difference? You should be able to get along with those you work with no matter who they are. If you want to do it well people will want to come back.
Bill Gates said your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.
Sometimes we get upset if we're not perfect or our employees aren't perfect. Learning mistakes are OK. We aren't critical of kids when they are learning, but sometimes we don't give those same learning mistakes for employees. When you make mistakes you will learn from them.
When we make mistakes we know we haven't done it exactly as good as we should, we recognize that. If you make customers unhappy they will tell countless others. Customer service is even more important now with the Internet and how fast word spreads. Powell likened first impressions to biting into an apple with a worm right in the middle. He said, "I apologize here take another one, are you ready to try another one? Would you be hesitant?" To every customer that you meet you are the face of the company, for someone who walks into the door you are the first apple they pick up. One of the most important factors is a first impression. If you enjoy what you do, the day goes better, you leave with more energy, it will show in other areas of your life, if you feel you are doing a good job. If you don't take care of the customer somebody else will.
You are your first customer. Take care of yourself first and extend from there to co-workers. Service is a huge part of customer service. Golden rule, if we don't take care of our customers someone else will. Nobody cares what you know until they know you care. We all want to have purposes, communicate and define those purposes," said Powell.
Powell related a story of when they operated a group home; they had a 13 year old, and 11 year old boy in the group home and they were struggling. They were playing games at a Toys R' Us store, and the 11 year old was back there playing and he told him it's time to go and the boy said no. Powell had been trained as a family teacher to go through the steps. He told him if he did not come he would carry him out of the store. Powell told Johnny, the 13 year old that he had a job for him to do in this situation. Powell tells Johnny that he is a family teacher and he has a card that says that so as they leave the store with the 11 year old kicking and screaming Johnny was to tell everyone that Powell was a family teacher and show them the card.
He told Johnny they had a little incident going on, his eyes got huge, Johnny said, 'are you serious,' and now Johnny had a job, a purpose, So Powell carried the 11 year old, kicking and screaming out of the store and Johnny was weaving through the store telling everyone it's OK we are family teachers. After they got him in the van, Johnny turned to Powell and said, 'I think we handled that pretty well.'
It was so much better with Johnny from that time forward. Give people a job and a purpose. A lot of time we forget that. Part of growth is empowering. It doesn't matter what we know if people don't know we care. Look at the big picture and don't dwell on the little things, instructed Powell.

Horizon: Zero Dawn is locked to 30 FPS on the PS4 Pro, gameplay 'feels much like' The Last of Us
Feb 18, 2017 | 33 Comments
The OUYA Kickstarter came to a close last night. Since its launch 30 days ago, 63,416 people have backed the open-source video game console pledging a total of $8,596,475.
The OUYA reached its initial goal of $950,000 in just about nine hours.
Multiple developers and publishers have announced their support of the new console with Namco Bandai currently in "active discussions" to become the next to bring some of their properties to the Android-based system.
One of the console's biggest titles announced so far will be an episodic prequel to Human Element, a new game from former Call of Duty creative strategist Robert Bowling's new company Robotoki.

The huge scale of Twilight of the West creates a confrontational impact on the viewer that is not achieved with smaller easel paintings. Kiefer constructs works of this size with an underlying skeleton of broad gestural marks reminiscent of Abstract Expressionism. He adopts a wide variety of pictorial devices, in particular the nineteenth-century Romantics' use of the symbolic landscape to create a drama of epic proportions.
The title indicates the grandeur of Kiefer's ambition. The original German title Abendland, written in black paint on the right side of the painting, derives from a study of history, Der Untergang des Abendlandes [The Decline of the West], written by Oswald Spengler and published in 1918. The painting therefore refers directly to the weariness and moral disillusionment of a century wracked by titanic struggles.
A recurrent motif in his work is the path through desolation. In Twilight of the West the path is the railway tracks that cut the countryside in half, urging the eye deep into a blighted industrial hinterland. Perhaps the tracks lead to a concentration camp or perhaps the single track that divides into two separate lines symbolises the partition of Germany. Most likely Kiefer intends his iron road to function as a pictorial 'via dolorosa', a moral guide through life's hardships.
Kiefer uses his camera as a sketching tool: a number of his works are painted directly onto enlarged photographs or are based on photographs. The image of the railway tracks was recorded during his visit to Bordeaux perhaps as early as 1984, and certainly was used in the painting Iron path 1986. The obvious difference here is the addition of the vast sheet of lead above the horizon line. Kiefer began using lead in 1985. The metal sheet is worked, wrinkled and crumpled like paper. Lead is a powerful metal, both as a protection against radiation and as an industrial pollutant. It also has associations with alchemy as the base metal that might be transmuted into gold and, as such, it parallels the idea of metamorphosis that underlies Kiefer's art.
The sun, an impression of a manhole cover stamped in the soft lead sheet, is low on the horizon. Twilight, and a leaden veil of darkness, descends on our civilisation. But just as the manhole suggests a way out, so the sun will follow the night. Like the lead curtain, the landscape below it is near monochromatic. The limited range of colour reproduces the muting effect of twilight, with its dominance of red-browns and raking illumination.
The composition of Twilight of the West maximises the ambiguities and opposition of materials: the soft, flowing lead against the brittle encrustations of paint, the severe division between heaven and earth, of detail against abstract area. Kiefer's dramatic contrast of near and far engineers heightened tension at the horizon line, the meeting point of spatial illusion and the literalness of his material. Twilight of the West evokes a mood of sombre poetry, a mixture of memory and melancholy.

The IronHorse raceway held their first race on Sept. 20. The raceway is located just north of Huntington behind the Huntington Reservoir on the property of Blair Larsen. The track is located on what was originally a horse pasture. The motocross track has become a family project with Blair and Maurdi and their two sons, Dalas and Dylan all involved.
Maurdi said, "When Dalas decided to sell his horse and buy a motorcycle, the boys were out there with rakes and shovels building jumps for their bikes and motorcycles. When, my husband Blair saw what they were doing he decided to help out with a tractor and made the jumps longer and higher and began adding jumps for them. The idea for a motocross track evolved from those first jumps and grew into the IronHorse Raceway. My husband and sons along with Jarod Huntington, John Ellis and Clint Sorensen have been working on the raceway for about a year now. It's been a lot of fun to see Blair and the boys involved in this project together.
"We hope to have three-four nonpoint races each year. The first year we would be eligible for a points race for the Utah Sportsmen Rider's Association would be in 2005. You have to attend a lot of meetings in Salt Lake and get on the list in order to host one of these races. The USRA races will draw as many as 600 riders. We had 131 riders for our first race and 500 spectators. We hope to have our second race on Oct. 25. We want to also have a peewee race one weekend that is just for the young riders.
"In our first race we gave out trophies and prizes. I also want to give out plaques for the riders at a future race. We might start a riding club where the riders would pay a fee to belong to the club and then they could use the track to practice, or they could use the track if they help with maintaining the track. There is a lot of maintenance work that goes into a track of this kind. We are getting a lot of word of mouth advertising and riders are showing up to practice.
"This project has been Blair's passion and its great to see how it all came together. Blair and the others designed the track themselves and did a really professional job," said Maurdi.
Dalas participated in his first race in March at Carbon and has raced twice in Delta. His race on the hometrack was his fourth race. For more information about the IronHorse Raceway contact the Larsens at 687-9273. The track is located at 1315 North 200 East Larsen Lane near Huntington.

Not as expected...
"Bought these shoes on a whim for a trip to Vegas, but sadly they're a darker shade of rose gold and pretty cheaply made. The shoes just arrived and already had unfinished seams showing and sticking out. As fun, comfy and spunky as these seemed, they're too cheap for what I was looking for. Will be returning."

J.K. Rowling on the Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination
I'm always curious to know what successful people really know about failure and mistakes. Not all captains of industry are holding up their failures to the light for didactic analysis. Is it possible that some successful people have never experienced failure (which is distinct from privilege as Rowling points out) and that success begets success? Or if they have failed at something that was deeply meaningful to them, how they have come through it without letting it define their abilities for the future?
In a 2008 commencement address, J.K. Rowling, author of the Harry Potter series, warns the new Harvard graduates about the inevitability of failure and the necessity of risk for living:
"You might never fail on the scale I did, but some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might as well not have lived at all – in which case, you fail by default."
Do all successful people value their failures as an essential experience or life lesson as J.K. Rowling does, or were they simply rendered inconsequential? Whether you've been in the winner's circle or not, I'm curious to hear in what way your failure has been valuable to you, or if it was at all.

Profit indexes
Economic Selection Indexes: A Tool for Successful Sire Selection
In 2005 the American Hereford Association (AHA) introduced four profit indexes. These indexes allow Hereford members and their commercial customers to select sires that maximize profit under different production situations. The indexes are formulated on general representations of beef production systems used in the U.S. and consider a group of economically relevant traits that characterize those systems. Relative economic values for this group of traits are paired with expected progeny differences (EPDs) to produce a dollar ($) index value. The difference in the $ value of the index predicts the difference in profit potential.
Selection index technology is nothing new. The original scientific paper describing the technique was published in 1943. For decades, swine and dairy breeders have used values such as sow productivity index and type-production index to select animals that excel in several traits. Beef breed associations in Australia have used index selection for several years, and a number of other U.S. beef breed associations publish various index values as part of their genetic evaluation programs. While other breeds have only terminal sire indexes, Hereford has developed three maternal indexes in addition to a terminal index.
The four Hereford indexes are:
Baldy Maternal Index (BMI$) – This is an index to maximize profit for commercial cow-calf producers who use Hereford bulls in rotational crossbreeding programs on Angus-based cows. Retained ownership of calves through the feedlot phase of production is maintained and the cattle are to be marketed on a CHB pricing grid.
Brahman Influence Index (BII$) – This index utilizes Hereford bulls in a rotational crossbreeding system with Brahman. This index emphasizes fertility and age at puberty and less on growth. Because Brahman cattle are not used in the CHB program, a commodity pricing grid is used.
Certified Hereford Beef Index (CHB$) – This is a terminal sire index, where Hereford bulls are used on British-cross cows and all offspring are sold as fed cattle on a CHB pricing grid. There is no emphasis on milk or fertility since all cattle will be terminal. This index promotes growth and carcass.
Calving Ease Index (CEZ$) – This index is used to select bulls that will be used in a heifer program. This index has increased emphasis on direct and maternal calving ease.
Real-world scenario
Economic selection indexes allow cattle producers to select animals with the most favorable combination of EPDs to maximize profit in a given situation. As an example, EPDs for four fictitious Hereford bulls are listed in Table 1. Of these four sires, which would be expected to generate the most profit in a rotational crossbreeding program, when mated to Angus-cross cows and heifers?
Each of the four bulls excels in at least one economically important trait. Bull A is the most favorable for scrotal circumference, an indicator of early puberty and increased lifetime female fertility. Bull B has the most favorable combination of calving ease and growth, but is less desirable than breed average for both fat and ribeye area. The bull with the highest milk and intramuscular fat (IMF) EPDs is C, but he is the least desirable for calving ease. In contrast Bull D is the calving-ease sire of the group, but is only average for growth, and in the bottom 5% of active sires for IMF.
The answer to this question is found by comparing the index values in Table 2. Bull B would be expected to sire the most profitable calves for this scenario, slightly better than A, and significantly better than D or C. His BMI$ value is the highest of the four bulls. His calves should generate $2.14 more profit per head, compared with A ($25.35 – 23.12 = $2.23), and $19.86 more profit per head than C. If B and C each produce 25 calves per year for four years, a producer should realize $1,986 more profit using B compared to C, including the cow herd contributions of daughters of B compared with daughters of C (25 calves X 4 years X $19.86 per head = $1,986).
Note that each of the four bulls is best for one of the indexes. While B is an excellent choice for the scenario just discussed, he would be only second best as a terminal sire (CHB$) or a sire of heifer bulls (CEZ$). When crossed with Brahman-influenced females, A would be a somewhat better choice (BII$), largely the result of his high scrotal circumference EPD. Bull C's favorable carcass genetics make him the most profitable terminal sire, while D is the best choice as a sire of heifer bulls, given his genetic values for calving ease.
Selection vs. ICLs
Selection on index values is more effective than using independent culling levels (ICLs) in a computer sire sort. Often breeders set minimum and maximum values for several EPDs, then select among those sires that meet all those criteria. As an illustration, consider a Hereford seedstock breeder whose bull customers typically cross Hereford bulls on Angus-based cows. The Hereford breeder might decide to seek artificial insemination (AI) sires that are in the top 25% of active sires for calving ease, weaning weight, milk, scrotal circumference and intramuscular fat. A sort on the AHA Web site might provide a list of bulls like that found in Table 3.
But are those the most profitable bulls for this scenario? Not necessarily. In particular, sire sorts eliminate any animal that fails to meet even one of the given criteria, even by a very small amount. What if the producer had lowered their criteria slightly? They might have found more bulls, some of which were significantly better overall. In Table 4, the same three bulls are listed, plus one who fails to meet the original criteria for one trait by a small amount.
In Table 4 sire H is the most profitable for the situation, even though he failed to meet the initial criteria set by the producer. His direct calving ease EPD was lower than desired, but only by a small amount. That deficiency is offset by a superior combination of weaning weight, scrotal circumference and IMF EPDs giving him the highest BMI$ value. Rather than setting minimums, index selection allows favorable EPDs for one trait to compensate for less favorable EPDs in another. Indexes identify animals with the overall most profitable genetic profile.
However, like any tool, selection indexes must be used carefully to avoid undesired results. While independent culling levels tend to select animals that are close to average for a large number of traits, indexes may identify animals that are rather extreme in their genetic values. Because indexes do allow one trait to compensate for another, they can select animals that are extremely favorable for a single trait, and somewhat undesirable for several others. Producers should scrutinize the individual EPDs of top index sires to be sure all EPD values are within an acceptable range. This is especially important for selecting calving ease sires for commercial herds. While the CEZ$ value does heavily emphasize direct and maternal calving ease, commercial producers selecting heifer bulls should continue to set minimum levels for those EPDs. The CEZ$ index identifies the most profitable animals for producing heifer bulls over several generations, but a sire can have a favorable CEZ$ value if its other traits are desirable enough to offset a marginal calving ease EPD.
As breeders begin to study index values for their animals, it will become apparent that milk EPD has little effect on any of the index values. In fact milk EPD is ignored in CHB$; that index identifies the best terminal sires, so milk is irrelevant. For the others, the economic value of increased milk, while small, is negative. No doubt some breeders will find this puzzling, as most beef breeds have selected for increased milk EPD over the last decade. However, economic research shows that once a cow provides adequate milk for her calf to meet its needs for health, maintenance and growth, additional milk is an economic liability, not an asset. Heavier milking cows have higher feed requirements, even when dry. If producers reduce the feed requirements per cow, they can increase herd size without acquiring additional land or purchased feed, and increase profit to the overall enterprise. However, if commercial bull customers insist their bulls have a minimum milk EPD, seedstock producers may want to continue to set a minimum milk value for AI sires, then select the top index sires with a milk EPD of that level or higher.

Dear Editor,
Tuition Tax Credits Won't Help Rural Utah
The state legislature is considering a bill that will hurt us in rural Utah while benefiting wealthy Wasatch Front residents. There's nothing new in that, but for some strange reason, this time our rural legislators are supporting it. The bill is House Bill 39, Tuition Tax Credits. Tuition tax credits are a scheme to pay people (with our tax dollars) to send their kids to private elementary and secondary schools.
Those who favor tax credits say that it will give parents more choice. Which parents are these? They don't live in my neighborhood. I don't know of a private school south of Santaquin that doesn't exclusively cater to out-of-state teens who have either a) behavior problems, b) drug problems, or c) both behavior and drug problems. Even if good private schools did suddenly pop up in rural Utah, how many of us would be able to afford them? Private schools cost about $6,000 a year for tuition alone. Most of the people I know in rural Utah couldn't afford to send their kids to private schools - even if they were given $3,000 by the government to help with tuition.
Some say that we need to pay people to keep their kids out of public schools because there is going to be a big increase in the number of students over the next 10 years. Most rural school districts are losing kids. Our tax dollars are going to be sent to private schools so that the public schools on the Wasatch Front don't grow too much. Even assuming that works up there, how does that help rural Utah?
Some legislators say that rural districts won't be hurt by tuition tax credits because the bill has $1.5 million to hold them harmless. The State Office of Education estimates that tuition tax credits will cost the state about $30 million a year. That means the pot of money for all Utah schools - including our rural schools - will shrink by that much each year. How can a one-time appropriation of $1.5 million fill that hole?
Tuition tax credits don't make sense for rural Utah. We need to ask our legislators why they are supporting it.

Very comfy!
"I bought these for my husband, and he absolutely loves them! They're super-comfortable and really nice-looking . I was a little worried about the lime color, but it isn't noticeable at all. Plus, the sneakers came with white laces instead of the lime color shown in the picture, which was a relief!"

Yamamoto PsychoDad 5pk
Designed by Western "punching" guru, Bub Tosh, the Yamamoto PsychoDad is a small punch craw with the versatility to do everything else. It features huge round claws that act like swimbait tails and actually "paddle" when you swim the bait. It's also the only craw with a built-in rattle chamber that's big enough to hold a 7mm rattle. The PsychoDad even has extra plastic on its "tail" which will help it hold up on the new style straight shank punch hook with the barb keeper. No more having your bait balled up at the hook bend.
Pair the PsychoDad with a big punch weight, a Paycheck Baits punch skirt, then put toss it in the nastiest mat you can find - and hold on! The PsychoDad is also great for Carolina-rigging, or as a jig trailer, and it even catches fish on a Shaky Head. You can also use it behind your Chatterbait for a different look. Whatever you need a soft plastic crawdad to do, the Yamamoto PyschoDad will get it done for you.

Comments: Great bait many uses! I've heard good & bad comments. But I know, this bait is great! Like paca craws (net bait), this bait doesn't last long! The action on the claws in this bait is sudel they raise up slow that's water makes it deadly!
From: Kendog: MI 3/11/16
Comments: these are awesome. Really lifelike. Lots of action. I prefer to bite 1/4-1/2" off & put of an Ike's mini flip jig. It's deadly in the delta. The rattle chamber is perfect. They are really soft, which makes fish hang on longer, but that also makes them a bit delicate. I don't care if I catch 1 fish per bait because I'm catching good bass.
From: Steve: Sacramento, CA 5/26/15
Comments: I agree with the flimsy/softness of the bait. Had the pinchers get pulled off twice last time out, but I'd have to say these baits are bass slayers!!!! I've caught more than one fish per bait. I usually get 2 fish before I have to replace them sometimes 3. I think they are soft because that was the action they were going for, too stiff and you wouldn't get that killer action from the pinchers. My number one flip bait right now for the delta.
From: Bayareabassin: Santa Clara, CA 7/10/14
Comments: viewed from above, it does resemble the OSP dolive craw. however, the dolive has a round profile and the psychodad is thin and flat-bottomed. the arms holding the claws on the dolive are sturdier too. The glass rattles i have fit perfectly inside the rattle chambers and the colors and detailing look good. unfortunately, that's the end of the good news. these things are flimsy...i doubt they'll last more than one fish each and bluegills will pick those claws off easily. i spent an hour last night just trying to decide how i'm going to rig these things. i think i'm not even going to bother using them for punching because they look and feel so delicate but i tried flipping hooks, 3/0-4/0-5/0 EWGs, G-locks, owner twistlocks, etc. and nothing i have seems like a good fit for these...the tail section is just too thin and the rattle chamber at the top is in the wrong spot. ultimately, i decided i will either put them on a shakeyhead or dropshot.
From: Norm: Delta, CA 6/6/14
Comments: First off if you purchased these primarily for punching, then give up fishing all together! They recommend 3 other rigging options to try, and IMO shakey head and T-rigged are the ticket. Caught a 3lbr/5lbr/ and 6.12lbr all in the same outing. Best colors black/blue, watermelon, and pumpkin candy, they stand straight up on a jig or trailer and drive bass nuts! Try a pack... you just might go psycho for these craws-
From: Hog Hunter: San Jose, CA 5/8/14
Comments: awesome as jig trailer for flipping in pads or any type of emergent vegetation
From: Trent: Winfield, PA 2/24/14
Comments: While the bait can be fished many different ways, the designer of the bait; designed it for punching heavy cover. So if the bait was intended for punching heavy cover, it should excel in that situation; and it does not. With that style of fishing, which I do often; there are clearly better AND cheaper baits. In this case, when fishing this bait in the correct manner in which it was intended to be fished; this bait is a fail. Does it catch fish? Of course! Are there many other baits that cost a couple bucks less a bag and catch multiple fish per bait? MANY! Just saying!
From: That Guy: Cali
Comments: You guys are all correct, the plastic is extremely soft for a hollow body craw. Perfect!! It may not be great for punching(that's why we have beaver style baits), but on a 1/4 oz. Texas Rig or lighter, that soft plastic guys are complaining about give of an action that you wont get with stiffer plastics. Great bait when used in the correct manner.
From: Omari: MD
Comments: Terrible!! These things are a joke. Tried punching these for the first time and they are way too soft to be useful. Every time I would try to pull my bait back through the mat, the hook would poke through the soft plastic and snag up. The rattle chamber makes it even worse. Don't waste your money.
From: really disappointed: CA Delta
Comments: Really looks great but the plastic is awfully soft and I think this bait would go from a 5/10 to an 8/10 if they eliminated the rattle chamber or at least re-positioned it. It is a big hole precisely where your hook should be entered thru the bottom. Anything from a 3/O-5/O will be effected by it. Depending on comapany and hook style...It's pretty much hollow from the eyes to the halfway point on the body so it does make it very hard to hold the hook effectively. The Claws are rly cool and kind of vibrate/'swim' like a boot-tail on a swimbait does. I think these look GREAT behind a Bub Tosh Paycheck Baits punch skirt. Green pumpkin psychodad w/ a green pumpkin/watermelon punch skirt and a gp tungsten weight pegged and you've got a pretty-ass rig. They're just very expensive for the durability, have one MAJOR design flaw IMO which rly hurts my opinion of the bait (and apparently quite a few others below as well). I, too, got pumped for these and grabbed like 10 packs of the rip...I think they'll get their use and I'd reccomend trying a bag to see how u like them. It's worth the $5.39 to see them for yourself and see how they work for you. ALSO: I think these would be bad-ass on a Picasso shakey football head or swinging football head because they're buoyant and very soft and would definitely do well fished that way. Also a good Carolina Rig option for sure. IMHO, of course.
From: Tanner: Westport, Massachusetts, USofA
Comments: These catch fish no doubt. The problems outweigh that unfortunately. Plastic is much too soft. Claws rip off constantly. The slot on the belly for a rattle makes it impossible to use a 4/0 hook as should be used. The fatter plastic on the head is on the wrong side and Contrary to the description, it constantly wads up around the hook bend. Caught some on the baits but won't buy again.
From: Justin: Salt River, AZ
Comments: Awesome bait perfect for when bass little to no action style baits
From: Jamel: CA
Comments: These are not the craws I was looking for. They look great but they will not hold up when flipping or punching. Claws are delicate and will come off easily. I think the legs should be reversed for punching. There are better craws that will hold up better.
From: Larry: TN
Comments: my turn! I've had my greasy hands on these since they hit the market. I gotta agree, so far, unimpressed. I bought into the hype though and have packs upon packs of these. Sorry Kinami but I ain;t feeling it. I've fished it every way you can fish it...dont get me started. All of mine are going on eBay soon.
From: Skeezo tha lure reviewer: your house
Comments: WHERE CAN YOU BUY THE OSP DOLIVE CRAW??
From: Randy: USA
Comments: This is a bad copy of the O.S.P DoLive Craw. Go to that one, that one is awesome!!!
From: Johnson: Shenzhen, China
Comments: Not sure what these guys are thinking but with all the talk I thought this would be a hit. I did not think it would be a straight rip off of the OSP craw. That one has MUCH better action and is cheaper!!
From: Big Jr.: So. Cal.
Comments: Decent color selection but durability is questionable. I hate to say it but I still prefer a ZOOM Ultra Vibe Speed Craw. Zoom beats em hands down..
From: Oscar: Mesquite, TX
Comments: Expensive imitation of a far superior product, the O.S.P. DoLive Craw.
From: Frank: Marianna, FL
Comments: I was so excited about these coming out. But over $1 a piece? WOW! Even for Kinami/Yamamoto baits; that seems kind of high. I'm sure I'll still pick up some packs, but Kinami definitely isn't giving them away.
From: Joe: Poor guy in CA
Comments: Pretty blatant ripoff of OSP Do-Live Craw. Lacks the killer squid scent and sweet nose tentacles of the original.
From: Jeff: Canada
Comments: it looks amazing as a jig trailer, but as said isnt very sturdy. claws fall off very easily. but thats what happens with very soft baits. the claws dont have a ton of movement on the fall just a very subtile shiver.
Comments: I agree with the previous comment. The rattle chamber is positioned at the end by the head and claws. As a result, the plastic is quite thin in this area. After burying the hook point more than a couple times, durability becomes an issue. At over $1 per bait, I was really disappointed.
From: John: Howell, MI
Comments: Jury is still out on this. So far, FAIL on a shakeyhead, dropshot, light TR and as a jig trailer. Guess I gotta punch w it. The craws DONT flap, by the way.
Comments: SO SICK ON A JIG!
From: Grat: On a lake homes
Comments: Was not impressed with this bait at all! very little action from the claws and it doesnot hold up well. It is ruined after one fish. Does not hold rattle well either. To pricey for the frustration.
From: Trey: Bridge City, TX

Also on 2 of the fringe pieces the leather was damaged. This bag was hard to find but I'm not sure if I would buy it again, knowing what I know now."

I'm glad that are doing well! God bless you!
Good to hear and good to be paid! Take care!
Then really the rumble is that you are making money, and that is in the jungle,,, glad to hear.. take care
Thank you Larry! I thought for a moment that you didn't want to answer my question 'cause I touched perhaps a delicate subject. Like I said before in that email, pls feel free to ask me any question my friend, no problem. Thanks again for your help! :)
Hey guy! What's new with you? All is well here in VA!
Larry my man what's up, hope you had a good weekend .hope. all is well and what is the "Rumble in the jungle" ??
hello theeeereee!!! did you have fund camping? i hope so, I've never done that but it must be fun! :) keep in touch and have a great rest of the week
Larry here in reno we close to the mountains and higher elevation than vegas.. I love it when it snows is Vegas and watching people drive, it snows there just about 1 to 2 days every 5 years.. I was born and raised there in that town.
The town of Reno which is realled called " the biggest little City" snow is a common thing, ,, I like it and I hate it also the snow,, love driving, playing in it, but having to do the shoveling, making sure everything does not freeze etc.. I am right now fighting the leaves already have 10 big garbage bags and still plenty to come. .. but driving in it ' LOVE IT" just have to watch out for the caalifornia folk, who think the drive 65 on the freeway and it has snow or black ice,, to where people like me drive 45 maybe?? majority are the ones who have lifted trucks.
I defintely buckle up, fist safety and then even in the summer a Cop see you with a seatbel automatic $ 75. 00 ticket, do not ask why ? do not pass through, and forgot the words from MonopolY,,.. " DO NOT PASS GO"end of story and if you have passengers who are not buckled up, you gwet an additional fine since you are the driver and should know the responsibility.
I know seat belts are good but at times they are not also, really depends on the situation
well, the interview was for a legal assistant for personal injury cases. I am a paralegal, but legal assistant it's ok to start. I can tell they make good money, but it all depends if they are willing to pay something fair, considering the distance.
wooow! you guys must be pretty busy all the time...i just came back from my interview, it went pretty good, but they still have to interview more people, so we'll see...nice office though, I can tell they make money, that's good!
Alright! Will do!
bye now and take care of yourself. Maybe other time you can explain me what your workers do. Just curious, that's all :)
thanks for the gift! and the nice comment! :)

When I was in College (early 70's) Ringing Bros Circus came to the College. My friend and I walked over to see them set up as there were crowds. They were putting up a tent and needed help so my friend and I just went ahead and helped without being asked.
After, we were done helping a short man with the circus came up and asked if we wanted to see the Lions. We said yes and he explained that he was a trainer, but not a performer and the Lion we were going to meet was pregnant so not in the show, but since he had been with her since her birth he was keeping her close now. She was in a large cage and laying down. She was so big I could put my hands together and that was the size of one of her paws. We got to pet her. They look smooth, but their fur is very coarse. They purr like house cats very loud, the trainer said she would only purr when she was happy. We got to pick up one of her paws and see the claws. She licked our hands and the tongue is 1000 times more sandpaper then a house cat. Other people tried to come up and pet and the trainer told them to go away and with the big cats around him they listened. It was a magical 1/2 hour. Now, that I am older I hate the thought of Lions being forced to live in cages and there should not be circuses.ReplyCancel
Thank you, Old ;ady, for sharing your story! Oh god, I would just die of squeeing if I had this experience!! =)ReplyCancel
Here is my "circus" story. It was one if those traveling carnival fair deals that used to set up in vacant lots. It was about 1965 or 6, and my friend and were walking home from high school, and a guy from the carnival says hey you want to see something? Being complete idiots, and about 15 yrs old, we said sure and followed him to a dank tent. We went inside- mind you, there wasnt a soul around- and showed us the 2 headed baby he had preserved in a giant jar, and other disgusting things in jars. Then he went on and on about how nothing is fake, and hes an honest man,and we were bored to tears and got out and went home , thinking it was weird BUT NEVER THINKING OF THE DANGER WE COULD HAVE BEEN IT!!!! So not as delightful as lion story, which clearly wins, but it did bring up an old memory. He could have put us in jars, lol!ReplyCancel
That was a great story Old ;ady!
I remember when I was growing up in Reno. What used to be the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino had "Leo the Lion" in a store downstairs in the mall. They just had him sit there all day long so that you could pay to take a picture with him. He always looked so sad. I hated it for him. 🙁ReplyCancel
I would absolutely love to have an experience like this. Lions are my favorite. I think they are so beautiful and majestic. I find it a crime and a shame to lock animals in cages and make them travel around and do tricks for our entertainment. I eat meat, and I am not a PETA type person, but I refuse to go to the circus. I find it so cruel to cage wild animals. It makes me terribly sad.ReplyCancel
Damn, I'll bet that chick REEKED when she was done.ReplyCancel
@auntliddy That circus guy was just probably trying to drum up business for his circus. Plus Travellers aren't likely to shit where they eat, so going from town to town kidnapping teenagers couldn't have gone on at least since the second town kidnapping. So I doubt you were in any danger, but it was still a reckless thing to do. Of course, back in the 60's and early 70's, we were TOLD to do what any adult told us to do.ReplyCancel
As for this woman, she's even more reckless than Auntliddy!. While I am sure those lions were probably creche bred (born and trained in captivity) that's not to say if they get irritated they won't eat your face off. And don't get me started about that thing they call a fence! Ain't no way that would stop any angry or hungry beast. Or even zombies! (I just finished watching Walking Dead season 2. No spoilers for three thank youverymuch).ReplyCancel
They actually are males (castrated)
Loved the stories! I would have loved to be able to get thisclose to a lion….
As for my circus story, I was at the mall early to watch them set up and to watch the animals and I met this really cute guy who was an animal caretaker, ….and he asked me to join him (I was 17, he was about 18 or so). I said no.ReplyCancel

CSULB's University Housing has three residential colleges: Beachside College, Hillside College and Parkside College. Each college provides a safe and comfortable living environment in which students can socialize, study, and reach their potential as a 49er.
All residential colleges provide a unique community atmosphere and are coeducational. Resident's room are double occupancy, with the exception of a limited number of singles rooms at Hillside College and triple rooms in Beachside College. Each college also offers the opportunity to be part of a living-learning community or live in theme housing.
Located off-site from main campus, this 2009 refurbished college, houses over 600 residents. Beachside residents can find themselves immersed in a small community, while still being part of a large university.
Located at the northwestern part of the university campus and bordered on one side by the municipal park, these facilities give residents the opportunity to make everlasting friendships with their suitemates. While furtherest from the center of campus, residents still enjoy the convenience of campus living.
As the closest of the colleges to the mainstream of the university center, Hillside College provides residents community living and convenience. Whether its traditional or suite style living, residents favor the social atmosphere this college provides.
Within our three residential colleges University Housing also provides three unique theme housing options:
International House (Hillside College) - The goal is to pair an American student with an international student as roommates. Our International House offers a unique opportunity to explore, live, and understand other cultures.
Gender-Neutral Housing (Beachside College) - The goal is to provide support to residents who, for whatever reason, need or request special accommodations due to gender identity/expression. A limited number of spaces are available for this theme.
Quiet Housing (Hillside College) - The goal is provide residents a 24-Hour quiet living environment for each resident throughout their stay in housing.
Please contact University Housing to discuss necessary special accommodations. Please note that when notified in a timely manner, University Housing will make every effort to provide reasonable accommodations, but requests are not guaranteed.
Living on campus provides you:
What do you need to bring? Not much. All rooms are approximately 15 by 11 feet and furnished with a bed, dresser, desk, chair, wastebasket, closet and mirror.
Residents must provide their own blankets, sheets (twin extra long), pillowcases, bedspreads, towels and study lamps. Refrigerators, microwaves, personal computers, stereos with headphones and compact televisions are also standard luxuries to consider.
Before you decide whether to bring all of these things, you may want to wait until you come to the campus and meet your roommate, and then together, you can decide on what you'll need. Sorry, we don't have storage space for additional items.

Switzerland 1865 – France 1925
Self-portrait (My portrait)
[Autoportrait (Mon portrait)] 1897
oil on card
card 59.2 (h) x 48.0 (w) cm
Musée d'Orsay, Paris , Purchase 2007

Born into a conservative middle-class family in Lausanne, Switzerland, Vallotton studied the classics before moving to France. During his early years in Paris he spent many hours at the Louvre, admiring the works of earlier artists such as Hans Holbein, Pieter de Hooch, Albrecht Dürer and Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres, who would act as exemplars throughout his career. In 1893 Vallotton noted, 'I have been thinking about … those exquisite masters, whose brilliant ideas, put down on canvas in perfect form, have an immediate impact even today, four centuries later.'1 In fact, his own style gradually developed a flavour of Northern European realism which alienated him from many of his contemporaries.
While his earliest paintings were rooted in the academic tradition—he exhibited at the Paris Salon in 1886—during the 1890s Vallotton joined the avant-garde. However, his stiff, reserved personality prevented him from integrating easily into the Parisian art world.
Vallotton was always interested in faces, particularly his own. During his career he made no less that nine self-portraits, the earliest when he was seventeen. His shrewd perspicacity and often caustic aesthetic is evident in the portraits, especially the self-portraits, where his personal insights are accurately translated onto the canvas with finesse and precision. In this 1897 work, Vallotton makes no attempt at pictorial effects, leaving the background a sober taupe, and firmly focusing on his own face, where his reserved character is written so clearly.
Vallotton's paintings reveal a flatness of colour with hard edges and, increasingly, a sober, often biting realism, a development very much independent of his fellow Nabis. Many of his colleagues viewed his austere style as retrograde, too much reflecting the art and academic values of the past. In 1898 Signac commented that:
Vallotton's paintings are anti-picturesque. He thinks that by employing a calculated and conservative technique he is imitating Holbein and Ingres, but he only succeeds in imitating Bouguereau's worst pupils. The result is ungainly and unintelligent.2
Contemporary critics were also disparaging, accusing Vallotton of 'paint[ing] like a policeman',3 and describing his self-portraits as 'solid enough in construction, but … dead and lifeless'.4 However, his precise techniques inspired a future generation of artists, such as the New Realists of the twentieth century.

The Highlanders have recruited well – bringing in Brad Thorn, Tony Woodcock, Ma'a Nonu and I'm a fan of the 7.0 for them to top their conference. The past two years they have started strongly, winning 7/9 matches but then faded. With six home fixtures in the first nine games and four matches against conference rivals, they have the chance to build up momentum. Looking at their non-conference ties, they have an average success rate of 77% against that opposition in the specific fixtures (compared to 63% for the Crusaders and 54% for the Chiefs). They are unlikely to move too far away from their abrasive, grinding style but there has been talk of perhaps approaching the breakdown with a bit more subtlety and reducing the number of penalties conceded there. If they get off to their usual quick start then the price appeals and there is the option of opposing them after their Round 10 game against the Kings if you think they are going to slump late on, as in the last two seasons.
The Brumbies capitalised on both the Reds injury issues and general shambles at the Waratahs last season, but just fell short of a play-off spot. Critics may point at those factors and that their wins came against sides ranked eighth or below as reasons to oppose, but I am taking the 3.3 price for a conference win. The Lions tour is going to have an effect on the Australian group and the Brumbies may end up being less hit than their rivals. They only had three players represented in the last Australian squad compared to thirteen Waratahs and eight from the Reds. They weren't beaten by more than seven points by a top six side in 2012 and an already resilient team has been improved by David Pocock and some South African grunt. Unlike the other contenders they don't have a new coach settling in, or the distractions that Quade Cooper / Israel Folau may bring so they are our picks in Australia.
If you like the Bulls, I'd back them after their away tour, so from Round 7. They've only won 3/36 away games against their non-conference opposition in Rounds 3-6 so their price should increase before their run of home games. Unlike last season, the Sharks start with 4/6 home games and I can see them being popular with punters, but I'm breaking a habit of avoiding the favourite and backing the Stormers at 2.5. They finished seven points clear last season, despite only collecting two bonus points (the average was eight in 2012 with the Sharks, Bulls both picked up eleven) and it may be that their new signings and lessons learnt from a successful Western Province Currie Cup campaign brings a more attacking intent. A run-in that sees them play the Kings twice should build plenty of momentum.
The pattern for league success of winning your home games, picking up points on the road and collecting bonus points is pretty well established now in most competitions. Super Rugby has the added intricacies of the conference system and how friendly the fixture compiler is. There is yet to be a Final winner that finished lower than second and while over a period of time the extended play-off system may change that, I'd still be happier backing a team that is more likely to secure a home semi-final than an outsider. The Stormers have finished in the top two in the last three seasons so have the pedigree. If you look at their matches against the other bookies favourites – they play the Chiefs, Crusaders, Brumbies and Reds at home and swerve the Highlanders completely so the price of 8.0 suits.
The tempting 2.0 for the Kings to finish bottom that was on offer back in August is long gone and a best of 1.29 is available now. As a reference – the Rebels have conceded 570 and 520 points in their short existence and had far better preparation than the new South African side. It's a short 1.25 for the Kings to concede over 500 points and 3.0 for them to leak more than 585. That and the 3.0 for them to lose every match will no doubt be taken up. A treble of Stormers, Highlanders and Brumbies to win their conferences is up at a tempting 42.0.
Based on the last two seasons, it's going to take nine or ten tries to take the top scorer crown. I like the idea of looking at a South African side to produce the top scorer as they each get two clashes with the Kings. Since 2007, there has been a Bulls player in the top two scorers each year. Bjorn Basson was prolific in 2011 and 2012 and deserves attention at 21.0, while Lwazi Mvovo at 26.0 and a bigger call of Raymond Rhule at 41.0 may also appeal for e/w value. In the other conferences, Dom Shipperley and Henry Speight at 41.0, Frank Halai at 26.0 and Andre Taylor at 21.0 may give a good run for your money.

I've written that I'm not the biggest political junkie. However, I follow politics enough that I would feel comfortable if I was ever approached on the street by one of those late night hosts asking me how many US Senators each state has.
I'm especially paying attention to the goings-on surrounding Governor Walker whom I wholeheartedly support. Like many others, I have the view that there's been a politically-motivated witch hunt against him. But it doesn't stop there.
As you're probably aware, the news media has been all over the prosecution of former aide Kelly Rindfleisch. You also know that Paul Harvey was famous for his reports that ended with, "Now you know the rest of the story."
For the first time Rindfleisch has spoken publicly about her prosecution, or is that persecution?
She talked with the Wall Street Journal, providing information and a perspective you'll hear for the first time.

Skip to comments.Boeing may move 777X out of Washington state
Posted on 11/14/2013 3:53:09 PM PST by mandaladon
SEATTLE (AP) Boeing's history in the Pacific Northwest dates back more than a century, when William Boeing purchased a Seattle shipyard that would become his first airplane factory. In recent years, however, those ties have been fraying, first with the company shifting its headquarters to Chicago, then with the development of a new production line in South Carolina. Now, the relationship between Boeing and Washington state is near the point of unraveling after a fiery debate among machinists this week led the workers to reject a long-term contract.
On Thursday, Boeing made good on its threats and said it is looking elsewhere to develop its popular new 777X airplane and the company may take thousands of jobs along with it.
Boeing Co. spokesman Doug Alder declined to specify where the company is now looking, saying there is no short list and that there are many places both within Boeing's current operations and outside that are being explored.
"Everything is back on the table," he said.
Boeing has helped anchor western Washington state's economy for decades, but that relationship began to fray about 15 years ago. In 2001, the company moved its headquarters from Seattle to Chicago.
(Excerpt) Read more at news.yahoo.com ...
I figured they would try to move it to China.
Gee, why'd they go and do a thing like that?
Stupid media. Another day, another insult to my intelligence.
Boeing 777's ... this year's Hostess Twinkie.
no other companies stand a chance at that kind of special treatment...
Dollars to doughnuts they won't be moving to California...
Please pick Virginia!
In Nashville, several years ago, the union at the Peterbuilt truck assembly plant went on strike for the second time in about 3 years. Peterbuilt decided that they could make due with the non-union plant in Texas and just shut down the Nashville plant and moved all of the production to Texas.
That's surprising, when you consider what a garden spot Nashville has turned into lately.
Seattle features a prominent statue of Lenin.
It's not meant with any kind of hipster irony.
Alabama has the work force the infrastructure and we are a right to work state that has a true conservative state government.
I worked at Boeing for a couple years, non-union.
You know what? If I was a small, independent parts producer in the Seattle/Everett/Renton area, and I lost business or even went out of business because of the vote, I'd be lining up lawyers around the block to sue the pants off the union.
This WILL effect alot more people and families than the union thugs!
expand....has Nashville really gone to the dogs?
the other thing about the Boeing union workers is that because of "international" competition, they get extended unemployment and can travel anywhere to look for work and get paid for it....lots of goodies even when they're out of work...
George C. Marshall Space Flight Center provides a talent pool and customer base...
More like it has gone to the illegals...
Both Tennessee & Texas have no income tax. I wonder how many of the NON-UNION personnel will go with Boeing?
Hmmmmmm, another labor pool to poach...
Poaching? Not as much as you might at first guess-—nobody else really wants that old union slag. Why would I bring people into my company who are going to mostly whine about the old days when they had a union job? I've picked up hitchikers before who spent the whole trip explaining how great things were when they could get the bucks together to pay their union dues. I got zero sympathy for a bunch of people who think their asses are so golden they'd vote their own job right out of town.
15 years ago +/- I watched a union member in Spokane bemoaning the fact that Alcoa was closing it's Spokane plant. He was telling the reported he had worked there for 18 years and the had gone on strike 3 times and now the plant was leaving. He would not understand the idiocy of his comments.
These Machinist have really solidified their pension and health care clear to the point they and future generations is WA will have nothing!
Oh wait, they will have Obama to take care of them.
Actually, it was stupid to move to Chicago, one of the worst taxed states and cities in the USA. They were considering Dallas,but I have a brother-in-law who worked at Boeing, and he said the CEOâs wife was into Arts and insisted they go to Chicago instead of Dallas. (don't know how much of that is true). Boeing's excuse was they wanted to be in the middle of the country between the East and West Coasts.
It almost sounds like he thought his time on the picket line was some kind of investment in his future job security.
Come to think of it, he may actually have been told that by his union leadership, and been stupid enough to believe it.
Roflmao!..............you beat me to it!
No poaching. The Mercedes plant, Honda plant, Hyundai plant, and the BAE plant employees make a GOOD living and have GOOD benefits. They produce a GOOD product and the lines are expanding.
As in Boeing poaching Airbus, should Boeing move to Mobile, Alabama.
Alabama has more room. But Alabama won't get the Boeing plant. I hope its North Carolina.
A WA Republican (one of the few) just said he wanted to introduce a right to work law. Governor (tax break for corp coronisim) Insley, said "no way"
ooooopps I meant South Carolina.
Yes Sir'reee , they already have a base there now with their 787 plant.
They need to do it. Tell the 0bama supporting union to kiss off. I do feel for those union members victimized by the union. They need to go to their union with torches and pitchforks and give them the what for.
As long as they get out of WA, I'm cool.
Hey Boeing!
There is Lotsa room in Texas!
And cheap energy.
No state income tax, yeeeehasame
I moved to texas from california ...in texas natural gas is about the same (figure some extra for a colder winter ) but electric is more on account of summer AC.
Water cost can be offset by using rain barrels....
In my city, if you use your house water supply to water your yard they assume it all goes down the sewer and there is a sewage charge.... they peg the sewer charge equal to the water usage . So if I use rain barrels to water the garden, there is no meter to measure and thus no matching charge for sewage. :D
Should be
(Doggone smartphone filled in the wrong word)
Washington has no state income tax either....
