Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless
Please Note: Swimbaits are hand-painted and colors may vary slightly from those imaged.
Combining the body of a 6" Huddleston Deluxe Trout with the Tail of an 8" Huddleston Deluxe Trout, the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless delivers a hard-thumping action aimed at bass in-and-around cover. Built with a super-sharp, concealed hook, the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special navigates through heavy vegetation and brush with little-to-no snagging. In addition, the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless is also very collapsible, which exposes the hook easily and quickly for rock-solid hook sets.
Like the rest of the Huddleston family, the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless is capable of fooling the wariest bass with its incredibly lifelike details and precisely weighted action. Perfect for targeting bass in asylum, the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless explores areas of heavy cover with a big, hard-pounding tail action that is sure to put your culling system to the test.

Comments: Fish the Huddleston Deluxe 68 Special Weedless swimbait as a deuce. Twins swimming, one behind the other. Use a three way swivel or rig like a double fluke rig. Monster largemouth bass will like to have a second helping of this combo. Tight Lines!

From: Kevin: Laredo, TX 2/19/16
Comments: This bait is a killer. Great way to get broke in on the hudds. The ROF 12 is a great slow rolling bottom bait and with the covered top hook you can run it through anything and very seldom ever hang up. Even 2 lbers will inhale this bait. The construction of it is a little bit soft, so eventually you will lose the tail if you are catching alot of small fish. I would recommend 65lb braid or higher to improve your hookups. Definitely a must have in your swimbait arsenal.
From: Chris: Las Vegas, NV 3/8/15
Comments: I bought one of these from the company itself in green gizzard shad. Let me say first, it is an absolutely gorgeous bait. I took it out today for the first time, and within 5 minutes I got bit. I could tell it was a very large fish, but I didn't get it hooked. I expected the hookup ratios to be less than favorable, but I wasn't mad. Not until I pulled the bait back in for another cast and the entire tail was missing. 5 minutes, one strike, and a 25 dollar bait is ruined. Hopefully the company will replace it. Really not happy.
From: James: LA 8/23/14
Comments: great bait! iv had 5 of the original top hook model before and decided to go with the weedless for small ponds and fishing reeds, and man do these fish choke them even little 2-3 pounders! if your looking for some of the biggest bass in your lake? commit to one of these cause iv been fishing a lake that people said can only produce 2-3 pounders and last night i lost a 5-6 pounder right at my feet and caught a few 4s but then i set myself up along the reeds and wam! 7lber totally chocked it and by far the biggest bass caught out of that lake iv seen. very good producing bait
From: Austin: Thousand Oak, CA 3/25/14
Comments: Better thump and vibration for stained water. Keeps up that life like swim when you slow roll them when it's super cold. Get a bunch, you will be glad you did.
From: Brandon: Ohio 3/23/14
Comments: Great bait!! The tail is awesome and extremely realistic detail. Highly recommend this bait over the original 6".

This is some interesting information we wanted to share with you all from Dr. Will Snell, University of Kentucky College of AG, AG Economic Specialist.
Each year especially during the dry weather, we have considerable death loss in our cattle due to a condition called "walking pneumonia". Dr. Michelle Arnold, Large Ruminant Extension Veterinarian, University of Kentucky goes into a very good detailed discussion about this condition and with cattle prices today, it may be good to see what she has to assay.
For over 12 years, Washington County 4-H teens have led the way in organizing the local Food for Kids Backpack program. Together with local businesses and organizations providing donations, hundreds of youth have been impacted through the program.
Fall is a good time to plant trees and shrubs. The cool temperatures and adequate rainfall (most years) make for an ideal time for planting woody plants. In the spring, many times it is too wet and the soil too cool to get newly planted trees and shrubs off to a good start. Many times gardeners are much too busy to plant in the early spring as well.
Many of you have been asking and now it is finally time to start renovating or reseeding your lawns. September is the best month to sow grass seed in Kentucky, however the last few years we have been so hot and dry that there was relatively no way to keep enough water on it to get it to germinate and survive. This year is different. It's cool and there is ample moisture in the soil to make it relatively easy to get a lawn established.
This article is the latest tobacco update from Kenny Seabolt.
Blue mold was found in east Tennessee. We still don't have it in Kentucky, but we should be watching for it closely. I don't think it is urgent for growers to treat for blue mold right now. Tobacco that has been topped and sprayed should be safe for the most part.
Last week I started off the 4-H News with information about the Kentucky State Fair. After writing the column today, I'll be leaving to take the 4-H exhibits to enter for judging. Our 4-H members have worked hard on their projects and I am excited for them and can't wait to see the results. Good luck to all 4-H and FFA members over the next two weeks as they participate in many activities at the Kentucky State Fair.
Make plans to attend the 2013 Kentucky Grazing School Aug. 21-22 in Woodford County. Informational sessions will be held at the Woodford County Extension office, with hands-on activities taking place at the University of Kentucky's C. Oran Little Research Center.
The school is hosted by extension specialists from the UK College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. It begins at 7:30 a.m. and ends at 5:30 p.m. EDT both days. Presenters will offer valuable educational information for new and experienced grazing systems managers.
It's hard to believe, but the Kentucky State Fair is right around the corner. This year's Kentucky State Fair will take place August 15–25.
Washington County 4-Hers are working hard to finalize their projects for Kentucky State Fair competition. Anyone wishing to qualify horticulture projects and other categories listed in the summer edition of the 4-H newsletter for the state fair should bring them to the extension office on Friday, Aug. 9 between 8 a.m. and noon.
With the rain we have had of late and some of you have had a lot more than others, there are bound to be many of you out there suffering from mosquitoes. I remember the good old days when mosquitoes only came out to bite at dusk? The imported tiger mosquito likes to bite any time of day and the hotter the better. Guess where the tiger mosquito was imported from. You guessed it, China! Tiger mosquitoes have light silvery stripes on their legs and body, hence the name "Tiger".

Not just a gimmick
The Wii's codename was the "Revolution," which Nintendo probably should have stuck with, but despite the name change you can't deny that a revolution is what the Wii was. With its cheap price, accessible controls, and a veritable cornucopia of games, it helped bring gaming to the mainstream.
Like many revolutions, we can only appreciate the Wii fully in hindsight. In the Wii's heyday, we could've overlooked any number of its wonderful games. But today, we can look back at the system's complete library and highlight 25 of its absolute best. Join us and enjoy our countdown of the 25 best Wii games of all time.
(By the way, as a rule we didn't allow multiple entries in a franchise on the list. It keeps things more interesting.)
25. The House of the Dead: Overkill
There have been lightgun-style games for almost as long as there have been home game consoles, but The House of the Dead: Overkill is easily one of the best in class, let alone on the Wii. Good old-fashioned zombie slaying mixed with grindhouse cinema presentation make this a fun (and funny) title that meshes naturally with the Wii Remote's design.
24. Mario Kart Wii
Were it not for its Wii U sequel, Mario Kart Wii would undisputably hold the crown for best Mario Kart game. The addition of more riders per race, motorbikes, a tweaked drifting system, and the ability to perform tricks were all hailed as major improvements, and the courses are as wonderful as they've ever been.
23. Punch-Out!!
Reboots and remakes are a tricky business. You want the experience to feel fresh, but you need to pay respect to what came before. Thankfully, Punch-Out!! for the Wii does exactly that, bringing back the dodge, dodge, punch rhythm that made the original such a classic, and wrapping it up in a beautifully stylized package.
22. Rhythm Heaven Fever
With its simple design and gyroscope sensor, the Wii Remote makes for a great music game controller. And while Just Dance parties were fun, it was Rhythm Heaven Fever that stuck with you, ensaring players with its adorable visuals, cutesy storylines, and catchy tunes. Plus, it had a certain wacky charm that simply can't be described on the back of a box.
21. Excitebots: Trick Racing
Excitebots: Trick Racing proves that it's not all about how fast you cross the finish line, but how cool you looked when you did it. Rather than focus on tight curves and single-file racing speedways, Excitebots features large, sprawling courses with multiple pathways. And while you may end up in first place just from being fast, you'll want to challenge yourself to be the best trickster too.
20. Red Steel 2
The first Red Steel promised us the fantasy of wielding a console controller like a sword, transforming us into badass samurai (that also wielded guns). But it wasn't until Red Steel 2 that we finally got a sense of how utterly cool that could feel. With more stylized visuals and support for the Wii MotionPlus, Red Steel 2 is one of the tightest action games the Wii ever had.
19. Muramasa: The Demon Blade
Without question, Muramasa: The Demon Blade is very high on our list of most beautiful Wii games. Its lavish, superbly animated world shames the system's tepid 3D offerings to the point where "pretty for a Wii game" should be forever stricken from gaming phraseology. With fantastic combat, a diverse armory of unique weapons, and over a dozen hours of gameplay, Muramasa would stand out on any system. On the Wii it shines as one more ray of inspiration to anyone who passed on the system for good.
18. Dead Space: Extraction
Dead Space: Extraction is much more than a haunted shooting gallery, as the presentation, voice acting, and exceptional visuals make you feel like a part of the action. You're not just moving along with a target reticle blasting grotesque monsters; you are that person - ducking and weaving, cussing in disbelief, shuddering with the guerrilla-style shaky cam that immerses you in the world like no other game in the genre. Like any good rollercoaster, Extraction gets your heart racing and adrenaline pounding even though you have no control. An interesting and emotional take on the lightgun scene.
17. A Boy and His Blob
With highly inventive gameplay and outstanding storybook visuals, the updated adventure of A Boy and His Blob (originally on the NES) is absolutely worth checking out again or for the first time. Whether it's the boy calling his pal in alternately playful and impatient tones or the blob obediently hopping along awaiting its next jellybean snack, this tale is as much about friendship as it about adventure. Nothing drives this point home more than the hug button, which serves no other purpose than to make the boy snuggle his blob like a favorite teddy bear. Simply put: You'd have to have a frigid, icy heart to not love this game on some level.
16. Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
It would be easy to overlook Silent Hill: Shattered Memories as a sloppy Wii remake - we all know there were plenty of those - but going in with that mindset would be a mistake. In reality, it was essentially an original story loosely based on the first Silent Hill, using the franchise as a platform to tell a dark, mature tale. Though it lacked many of the classic Silent Hill tropes, it came with a few tricks of its own, sporting interesting gameplay that analyzed your decisions to taunt you with specific elements suited to your playstyle. If that sounds weird or psychological, that's because it is. Shattered Memories is a game every Wii owner should experience.
15. Super Paper Mario
Fans of Mario RPG clamored for years for more role-playing Mario goodness, and got their wish with the Paper Mario series. The Wii entry, Super Paper Mario, brings all of the silliness and charm of the RPG series to the modern era, mixing in some interesting 3D puzzles and platforming. But what really sets it apart is the dialogue and narrative, which doesn't shy away from shattering the fourth wall in favor of silly puns and awesome jokes that will have anyone, Mario fan or not, rolling on the floor with laughter.
14. Donkey Kong Country Returns
Donkey Kong Country Returns is everything fans wanted from the series. It's beautiful, painfully difficult, and a nostalgic trip for fans of the storied franchise. And yet it feels remarkably new, with strong mechanics and emphasis on cooperative play. DKCR is a lush, vibrant reimagining of the franchise, and one that we hope is only the first step toward a future resurgence for DK and crew.
13. New Super Mario Bros. Wii
There's a reason that New Super Mario Bros. Wii is one of the best-selling games on the system: It wonderfully blended together the nostalgic feeling of classic Mario with four-player cooperative play, creating an experience that had children laughing and adults grinning from ear to ear. Though the level design isn't the best in the series and things can get hectic with four people onscreen at the same time, the overall experience is fantastic, providing some worthwhile fun for groups and solo players alike. Just make sure to share the mushrooms.
12. Boom Blox Bash Party
The Steven Spielberg-produced (seriously) Boom Blox was an early success on the Wii, and the sequel, Boom Blox Bash Party, improves on the formula in every way. Bash Party is a brilliant little toy to mess around with, and one you'll get a lot of pleasure from regardless of how many friends or family members you rope in. It wouldn't work on any other console, and as a Wii owner you really ought to check out at least one Boom Blox game; ideally, make it this one.
11. Xenoblade Chronicles
Xenoblade Chronicles, a latecomer to the Wii, offers a singularly beautiful world, streamlined gameplay, likable characters, and a fantastic soundtrack. For these reasons alone it's probably the best RPG on the Wii. Lest you think we're damning it with faint praise, there's no denying that Xenoblade is invigorating and engaging like few recent games of its kind, giving us reason to hope that this once-proud genre may yet have better days ahead. Visit the strange world of Xenoblade for 100-odd hours and see if you don't feel the same.
10. Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Metroid Prime 3 is the ultimate achievement of the series. By this point, the formula had been tweaked and pruned to its most perfect point, with some of the best shooting on the system. Best of all, it makes beautiful use of the Wii Remote. Freely aiming with the remote makes the experience much faster than the older titles, where you had to hold R just to look around. Here, it's almost on par with a mouse and keyboard, with gesture controls - like yanking and pulling the Nunchuk to activate the Grapple Beam - that makes ripping off limbs oddly satisfying.
9. Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars
The Wii doesn't have that many true fighting games aside from Smash Bros., and that makes the outstanding success of Tatsunoko vs. Capcom all the sweeter. Made specifically from the ground up for the Wii, the game shines on Nintendo's platform, making for a deep, complex fighting game that's perfect for those wanting something more mechanically sound than Brawl. The character models and striking design are powerful even without any HD tomfoolery, easily making this one of the most gorgeous and unique-looking titles on the system.
8. Rayman Origins
At a time when games seem to offer a bit of everything, Rayman Origins stays focused on pure platforming pleasure, and it delivers. Yes, it can be too tough for some, but we're betting even more casual players will soon find themselves hopelessly addicted to the finely tuned challenges on offer here. Play it for the love of platforming, the love of 2D art, or the love of the Rayman series. It doesn't matter why you play it. Just, for crying out loud, make sure you do.
7. Little King's Story
Look at that title. So unobtrusive. That's the little king's secret: smile, look harmless, and crush with extreme prejudice. Underestimating this diminutive dictator will be the biggest mistake you make with this city-building, Pikmin-like Wii game. When everyone else is mucking around in blood and guts, Little King's Story has the tenacity to be an actual game you can play and play and play. With an adorable art style and fantastic gameplay, it's definitely a standout success.
6. No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle
Usually, the word trashy is saved for bad things, but we can't think of a better, more loving way to describe No More Heroes 2. The game goes for a pulpy, sexy, raunchy vibe and nails it perfectly, with hilarious characters and awesome hack-and-slash gameplay that takes full advantage of the Wii Remote's love of waggle. Bizarre, silly situations and awesome boss battles make it easy to recommend this game to anyone interested in a completely unique experience on the Wii. Actually, it's sort of a unique experience in general; what other games let you chop up models with a lightsaber that needs to be... well... shaken to charge it up?
5. Sin and Punishment: Star Successor
The fact that the Wii didn't see a proper Star Fox game was disappointing, but that sadness was overridden when Sin and Punishment: Star Successor filled the void perfectly with remarkable gameplay, awesome music, and some of the most over-the-top action we've seen. Kicking missiles out of the sky? Sign us up. Extreme difficulty during the early levels might be a turnoff for some people, but if you're able to get past that (either by tenacity or by bumping the game down to Easy) you're in for an absolute treat that shouldn't be missed.
4. Kirby's Epic Yarn
Is Kirby's Epic Yarn easy? Yes. It's absurdly easy. You can't die, it's hard to lose, and the game basically holds your hand the entire way. And yet despite that, it still manages to be one of the most enjoyable games on the system, with its absurdly charming art style and some of the strongest platforming from the Wii generation. Even the co-op, a weak point in some of Nintendo's other platformers, made for some incredibly enjoyable play, and the game's somewhat simplistic gameplay made it possible to play it with anyone and still have a good time.
3. Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Not much of the core gameplay changed between Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and that's because not much had to. Instead of altering the core formula, Nintendo settled for piling on loads of new content, from new items to new characters. The entire game is an insanely robust love letter to not just Nintendo's history, but video game history in general. The inclusion of both Solid Snake and Sonic The Hedgehog helped flesh out the game's already-robust character list, making for one of the most enjoyable experiences on the Wii.
2. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword
The Wii saw the release of not one, but two Zelda games, though only one made full use of the new technology to create a unique experience. The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword featured an imaginative art style which allowed for some of the best visuals on the system, and made masterful use of the Wii MotionPlus to prove that motion controls were no gimmick. It used these motion controls to the fullest too, resulting in the best swordplay in Zelda's storied history. The puzzles were also some of the best we'd ever seen, and the plot was a treat not just for fans (serving as the first story chronologically), but for newcomers as well. This was the Zelda we were waiting for.
1. Super Mario Galaxy 2
Super Mario Galaxy 2 improves over the original in every way - a task we didn't even think was possible - to create not just the best Wii game available, but one of the best Mario games of all time. It pushed the system to its limits with wonderful, mesmerizing visuals and some of the best platforming in history, completely redefining what it even means to be a platformer. Even if you believe it's too similar to the first game, what's wrong with more of an incredibly great thing?
Wii will miss you
Obviously not every game could make the list; there are only so many games that can be labeled the absolute best. We're sure that some of you have games you think should have been added, cut, or rearranged, so let us know in the comments below what you would change about our list of the best Wii games of all time.

Great Walking Shoe
"I'm a stay at home mom and wear athletic walking shoes all day, pretty much every day, inside and outside the home. Ryka has been my go-to brand for the narrow heel and wider toe box, and these shoes do not disappoint. This is my second pair of the gray and orange Devotion walking shoes. Very comfy insoles are like walking on clouds, and they don't slip at the heel."

Comfortable shoe but...
"After four months of regular use (3-4 times/week for exercise only) the right upper has come unglued from the sole. While it certainly is a comfortable and stylish shoe, I'm bummed at the low quality."

Devoted to Ryka Devotion
"The moment I tried on my first pair of Ryka Devotion, I was converted - seriously! I've tried many other walking/tennis shoes that claim to be comfortable (bought through Khols and Payless); but I often just donate them due to foot ache and lack of support. I have a high arch, and the beginnings of heel issues. Finding a good pair of walking/tennis shoes is very important to me and Ryka Devotion is my answer!!I've worn out my first pair and just bought another; and if there is ever a 'close out' on this particular style, I will buy as many as I can find before they're all gone."

"Il love everything about this shoe except for the length of the shoe laces. I am one who uses that last eyelet. The laces that came with the shoe were too short for regular use, let alone the eyelet that draws the heel tighter. I had to buy a new pair of laces. In my mind, that is not a way to save costs."

Love Them. The color is just right.
"Love the color. Have been looking for a basic rose shoes for a rose skirt suit. Not nude as stated, so the color you're looking at is it. Have not worn as of yet. Tried them on. feels great. didn't have my size, 9/12. Ordered a 10. Heel height is comfortable. The back of my heel is low in the shoe, but who cares. I'll only be wearing with the rose suit."

Cute and comfy!
"I normally wear an 8 M in most shoes. Sometimes a half size larger or smaller depending on the style and brand. These seem to run a bit small for me. The back of my heel hung off the back of the shoe a bit, and since there are no 8.5 left, I think I could comfortably wear a nine as well. They are very cute, stylish, comfy and very easy to walk in."

"These shoes run pretty big. I was reading reviews that sometimes with Steve Maddens, you have to order a half size down. I own plenty of Steve Maddens but this is the only pair I had to do that with. Very pretty shoe. They are very comfortable for a flat."

Ran a little short
"Some reviews said to order down, but I don't agree. I'm a half size and these didn't come in half sizes, so I went with a 7. Would've been better to go the half size up and get the 8. Hopefully I can stretch them out. I can see how these may make the soles of my feet hurt with too much walking."

Recording of workshop held February 15, 2014
Includes video recording of 2-hour workshop (edited to remove extraneous material) in MP4 format; excerpt from Donna's book on Stellium; and handouts with information on interpreting stellium. ALL PROCEEDS GO TO THE KEPLER SCHOLARSHIP FUND
There are possibly more people alive today with stelliums than ever before.
Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto are conjunct in the sky infrequently, but for the past 50 years, there have been an unusual series of them. When the inner planets reach these conjunctions, they form stelliums. Managing a stellium is a lifelong learning curve. We'll explore the special challenges of the 20-Somethings with three to seven planets in Capricorn.

Backstabber Deep Diver Crankbait
The Backstabber Lures Deep Diving Crankbait features a hook extending from its back as opposed to the traditional belly hook placement of most crankbaits. This allows the Backstabber Deep Diving Crankbait to repel snags better than conventional lures, and the back hook configuration also hooks fish on the top lip - greatly increasing your odds of landing those larger fish. Specially tuned and weighted to accommodate the top hook placement and swim true, the Backstabber Deep Diving Crankbait also features 360-degree rotating swivels to prevent fish from using the lure as leverage to dislodge the hooks. Available in a variety of colors the Backstabber Deep Diving Crankbait will get down deep and avoid those costly snags.

Comments: This bait goes DEEP! So deep I managed to catch a snag on the first cast. Lucky for me this bait is so tasty a 6 Pound+ Large Mouth took it right off the bottom. Managed to hook 3 more on this crank. LOVE THIS BAIT! Citrus Sexy Stabber is now one of my number one crank baits.
From: Tye: Windsor California USA
Comments: Cool crank, but one of the two that I ordered was defective, they have swivels built into the bait somewhat like 22nd Century triple trout, so that way bass ( or pike ) can't use the lure to throw it when they come to the surface to jump. Well the one baits swivels didn't rotate as well as the other one, so I added a drop of oil to see if that would fix it. Well I ended up twisting the treble hook on the top clean off! The swivel that the hook was attached to was very flimsy and the metal was very thin. But my other crank is just fine, and this bait is a great concept, but you would think at $15.00 a pop they would make sure each baits swivels preformed like their suppose to before they package it.

This vibrator is not cheap, so I expected it to last for a bit. After a little over a year (just over the warranty period!) the battery stopped taking a charge and it died. And it's not like I overused it-- if anything I underused it. I have cheap $20 vibrators that have lasted 10x as long!

By KEN LARSENSalt Lake City
Dear Editor,
Racism is racism. These Indians who want to deny rights to non-Indians have lost their right to object when racism is directed at them. Our founders clearly stated, as the first of our founding principles, that we are all equal. We cannot judge anyone by their genealogy on any issue and not violate this fundamental principle of Americanism. As an American, I am free to own or wear any item, regardless of how special or sacred it may be to any group, culture or race. If we surrender this right for any reason, we lose what makes America free, and we open the door to racial and ethnic warfare.
I do not speak idly. I have taken courses, studied and practiced Native American Shamanism. In the summers of '66, '67 and '68, I performed many Native American dances in Europe with the BYU International Folkdancers. When I did my war dance, I had two golden eagle feathers in my headdress. I was proud to wear them along with my eagle claw necklace and bracelets. When I began my career as a faculty member at the U of U, I listed my ethnicity as Native American.
If you say I am not an Indian, just because my ancestors were all from Europe, you are a racist. If we are not free to decide our personal race/culture/ethnicity, then someone else is our master. We must not surrender to any government officer or government body the authority to tell us our race or ethnicity, or whether our personal spiritual quest is a religion protected by the Constitution. My right to my harmless personal pursuit of happiness is clearly guaranteed by the Ninth Amendment. And that includes owning and worshipping with eagle feathers.
America is all about tolerance. It has to go both ways. All people of all genealogies should be free to choose and practice any religion or culture they wish, including peyote, eagle feathers and special underwear. Otherwise, what the Bleep were the founders talking about when they announced that each of us has the equal unalienable right to the pursuit of happiness? Nowhere does the Declaration of Independence or the Constitution justify special rights for people of special descent. The 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 should have cleared this up.
I think atheists, pagans, shamans and all other non-Christians who want respect, freedom and tolerance for their different cultural practices, should strongly oppose this and all other forms of racism and cultural bigotry in America.
It's too bad such an obvious thing as personal religious freedom should require a decision by the courts.
If any Indian tribe wants to enforce special cultural privileges, let's first make their territory a separate country, with international borders, so that such an unAmerican practice will not happen in America.


text: In Germany, Nikolaus is usually celebrated on a small scale. Many children put a boot called Nikolaus-Stiefel (Nikolaus boot) outside the front door on the night of 5 December. St. Nicholas fills the boot with gifts and sweets overnight, and at the same time checks up on the children to see if they were good, polite and helpful the last year. If they were not, they will have a tree branch (Rute) in their boots instead. Sometimes a disguised Nikolaus also visits the children at school or in their homes and asks them if they have been good (sometimes ostensibly checking his golden book for their record), handing out presents on a per-behavior basis. This has become more lenient in recent decades.

Rather than build walls and fences, why not establish a transitional zone of about 3 to 4 miles wide along the border. The zone would be for the purpose of developing transitional border towns at appropriate locations.
The towns would be populated with as many permanent residents as possible and both governments would provide facilities and services for those crossing the borders either way.
There would of course be two-language towns where one would be comfortable speaking either language.
Services and facilities would be provided for people moving in either direction.
Schools would be provided especially for learning the other language. Whatever border patrols might be required would be based in these towns. The towns would provide all usual services.
They could also be developed as vacation and recreation towns and even as special shopping communities and places for industry.
There initial purpose would be to encourage those crossing the border to do so legally, coming through the towns to obtain visitors' and workers' cards bringing them through legally. Many may even stay and become residents of these towns.
Let's do something positive utilizing present social movements and make the border area a positive place rather than a place for confrontation. Naive, eh?

Alex's Story
My name is Alex Schenk, I'm a sophomore here at Saint Louis University. I am studying education and mathematics with a minor in Spanish. I would like to share with a little bit about you my experience and understanding of the Jesuit mission.
I went to a public high school so coming to Saint Louis University, I had no idea what the whole "Jesuit Mission" thing meant. It was not a factor when I was choosing a college, but after a year of attending SLU, I can tell you that it is something I value more than anything else. The Jesuit mission is what sets SLU apart from other universities. I am lucky to have had some experiences this past year that helped me sort of figure out what it all means. For me, the Jesuit mission is about living beyond my degree and serving a greater purpose.
When I came to campus last fall, I didn't know too many people, but I came with an open mind, ready to make new friends and have new experiences. The second weekend in September, Campus Ministry hosts a retreat called "Urban Plunge." It's a social justice retreat where students confront some of the issues that those living in poverty face everyday. Although I didn't know a single person going on the retreat, I signed up anyway. The retreat has both learning and service aspects. The first day we spent time touring impoverished areas of St. Louis and some time after reflecting on it. That night we slept on the floor of a church, and the following morning was the service aspect of the trip.
My service site was at the Karen House, which is a Catholic worker house for homeless women and children. We had the opportunity to interact with some of the women and children who were staying at Karen house, and that, I feel, was the most impactful part of the retreat.
There was one boy that I'll never forget; he was about 7 or 8 years old. I remember how excited the boy was to show us around, and show us how he could ride a bike. I could tell how much it meant to him just having a group of young students who wanted to listen to him and give him some attention. It's amazing how spending just a little bit of time with someone can have such an impact. Just as I'll remember how happy he was to play with us, I'll never forget the disappointment in the boy's face when he asked when we would be back to play again. It was like we had built the boy up for a letdown that he was all too familiar with... because the reality was that we would not be back, at least not anytime soon.
After we left, I couldn't stop thinking that experience. I thought about how that boy has already faced challenges in his life that are beyond anything I will ever face in my own. I thought about how fortunate I was to return to SLU and be surrounded by people who care so much about me. I've had so many resources and individuals that have helped me to succeed on my journey, but the sad reality is that many people don't have those same resources. Just by being here, we all have been afforded privileges that some will never have. That's the reason that I personally feel it necessary to pay it forward, and give back to the less fortunate; that's what the Jesuit Mission means to me.
The Jesuits believe in living amongst those whom they serve, so it's no accident that this university is located where it is. The City of St. Louis offers countless opportunities to grow as a person and serve others. There are volunteer opportunities in every field that one could study here at the University. That said, it's ultimately up to us to pursue these opportunities. It's okay to take risks and try something new. Every organization on campus does some sort of service so I'd encourage everyone to try and get involved because you can have some truly unforgettable experiences.
I'll wrap up by saying that SLU does more than prepare you for a successful career. The Jesuit education focuses on the "whole person" and goes much beyond academics. SLU strives to instill values within us so that this passion for service extends well beyond our four years here as undergraduate students and ultimately becomes a part of who we are as individuals. While being a Billiken has made me a better student, most importantly, it's made me a better person. New Billikens: you have a lot to look forward to.

Putting the band back together
Jason Strudwick
April 16 2013 09:34AM
Yesterday Steve Tambellini was removed from his position as general manager of the Edmonton Oilers. He was replaced by Craig MacTavish. Former general manager of the Columbus Blue Jackets Scott Howson moves up in the lineup. Kevin Lowe, MacT and Howson have worked closely together before and now must get this team firmly on track.
I will start with Tambellini. Based on the record of the team since he took over his removal as manager should not be a real surprise. That being said, the team has been improving through their top draft picks. The top-end talent is there now. I firmly believe his plan was to be patient, let the youth develop and then make moves to plug the holes this summer.
But when you look past the three top picks how many drafted players are poised to jump into the lineup up today, next year of the year after that? Down in OKC I don't think there are too many. Oscar Klefbom is a good young prospect, but his shoulder injury may have slowed down his career.
There are some drafted players in college and junior that will turn pro in the next season or two. Time will tell how well the team drafted past the first picks. As GM you are ultimately responsible.
Steve tried to fill in around the team's youth with free agent signings and small trades. Belanger, Eager, Hordichuk, Fistric, Brown and Smyth haven't had a huge impact on the club. These are not big minute guys. Big minute players with courage and endless compete levels are what the Oilers have needed and continue to need desperately.
The one signing that I loved, and thought was a great move three years in a row was Jason Strudwick. This guy had a sick backhand, impressive hair for a 35-year-old and won well over twenty percent of his fights. This signing could be considered the high water mark of Tambellini's off-season moves.
The combination of Lowe, MacTavish and Howson produced average results when they were together. Everyone remembers the terrific sprint to the Cup finals, but outside of that nothing very memorable. Should we expect something different this time?
Scott Howson became the GM of Columbus in June of 2007. There wasn't a lot of great success for his teams. However, the one area his club was very good at especially this year was its compete level. I have watched the Blue Jackets play against the Oilers and other teams this year and they battle the whole game, all over the ice. How many nights have we said that about the Oilers this year?
The Blue Jackets are in playoff contention because they never give up. They do not have the skill in their top-six forwards the Oilers do. They have to compete. Howson also put together a very good and underrated group of defenceman. They are mobile and pretty big.
Both areas the Blue Jackets are now strong in are the two areas of big concern for the Oilers. Before we all write him off maybe Howson should be given a second chance, if he can improve those areas.
MacT is the new general manager. Ironically he was the type of player the Oilers need on their team today. A player full of character, consistency and dependability. Can he bring in the types of players required?
This team does not compete hard enough. That is obvious. The number one job for MacT is to upgrade the compete level throughout this lineup. Easier said than done. He is a rookie GM, but I don't think it makes a big difference. This area needs to be addressed.
I think it is valuable that he played the type of game that is lacking on this team. He can recognize those attributes in players he wants to trade for, draft or sign.
The biggest question is will he have the courage to make hard decisions? Does he have the stomach to maybe move out some long time Oilers if he feels it needs to be done? Will he trade a young stud to get a new mix in the Oilers top 6? These are hard decisions that he will have to be made at some point. We don't know if he can or can't because there is no track record. After having played for him I think he can.
Kevin Lowe has been part of the Oilers for a long time. He has been a part of the greatest moments for the Oilers and the worst. He has almost always been here. He is taking a lot of heat for "keeping the old boys' club" going today. I understand why many of you are feeling this way.
That was my initial reaction as well. After taking some time to think about it and actually write down my thoughts I am at peace with it. Howson could bring the compete blueprint with him from the Blue Jackets, exactly what is missing from the Oilers. MacT worked in the Vancouver system as head coach in their Chicago farm team. That is a very well-run organization. They have developed many of their own stars and players over the last many years. The Oilers need to have their own later round picks come up through the system.
Based on those two guys and what they have seen and done I think there is reason to be hopeful.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter to me who has what title or who is whose boss. These three will be working together to make this team whole by filling in the holes. Yes there were all together previously with very mixed results but the landscape has changed.
Two big changes in fact. New ownership with an appetite to spend and a cap system in place that really evens out the playing field. I am not making excuses for previous season, but this has made a difference for smaller market teams.
Ultimately I can break this down as much as I want, but we won't know for a few years if this was the right call. If the team goes on to successful seasons Kevin Lowe will be hailed a genius.
If it doesn't then all the naysayers can say they were right.

Struds, many words but the bottom line is that Tamby failed miserably. Everyone in E-town knew the deficiencies on this team but Tamby failed to correct them. Get the bum outta here.

I needed a good laugh after that press conference.
My only comment on Lowe is this:
Being Oiler President with Katz as owner means: I never have to say "I'm sorry".
April 16 2013, 03:58PM
Let's hope that the Oilers end up being as bad-ass as the Blues Brothers, without the associated hilarious consequences...
In my opinion Common sense Tambi in a weird way didn't screw up.
One could say he did his job perfectly. Which was get top end talent into the organization. I just find it funny how every move to make the team "better" and plug holes has ended up horribly. Purely planned out? or just 100% convenient stupidity lol.
LOL, thanks Jason.
But if you say "need to try harder" sounds alot better than compete level in my opinion. Compete level sounds like a bad hockey cliche.
I think 'compete' is quite appropriate. To call it a 'bad hockey cliche' is trite.
Competing applies to many things, including all sports. Competing is more than trying hard. I've seen the Oilers 'try' and not compete and they also don't compete when they don't try.
When their compete level is high, they're putting in the effort, playing within their abilities and playing smart.
If you think it's a bad hockey cliche, you need to get your compete level higher.
This team is now the official laughing stock of the NHL.
The Edmonton Oilers have usurped the NYI as the most inept hockey organization in North America.
Not only do they make poor decisions internally it has spilled over into the public.
I am a season ticket holder for both the Edmonton Oilers and the Oil Kings and couldnt belive what I heard come out of Lowes cake hole.
This organization reeks of arrogance from the radio personality's to the head office.
Never did I ever get a sense of entitlement from Sather, Fraser or Phillips, or Muckler
This team is almost beyond saving at this time.
Glad to here this from a Season Ticket Holder. I've felt like that since they resigned Hemsky. I live out of town so I don't have season tickets, there for my opinion doesn't count. I also don't have any stanley cup rings so dispite the fact I been successful and happy in both live and business, I wouldn't know what I'm talking about anyway.
I think he applied for the position of Octane Talent Scout.
Remember Lowe has all those cups, you can't be humble and have cups.
At least that is how Lowe comes across.

I don't know
Calgary might have saved us.
Feaster screwed two separate organizations and two GM's in a matter of weeks.
Then basically denied they were rebuilding by saying his mandate is to make the playoffs and the media everywhere including Calgary has been laughing about that.
The team that Burke built just made the playoffs.
THAT is the point.
If you look more closely, many of the more successful GM's in the league also spent time as player's agents which not only gives them an increased level of knowledge of other GM's tendencies but they also have experience on both sides of the negotiating table.
Yes they are the verge of making it. However, they are riding some pretty incredible shooting percentages.
They are shooting 11.5% as a team. The only team this high is Tampa Bay. On top of that they have the 6th best Save Percentage at 91.9%
If the Oilers were shooting the same, they would have 27 more goals. And saving the same they would have allowed 12 less goals.
They would probably also be in the playoffs.
By way of comparison, last year the Leafs had a 9.8% shooting percentage and a 89.8% save percentage, with more or less the same players.
Time will tell but this years Leafs look like a one hit wonder, they will need to make changes in the off-season to remain competitive.
I would like to point out one thing, when Howson left, we got considerably worse. I do not know if this has been mentioned before or not. I think he is a very smart hockey man (and no, he is not my Dad or uncle!). I also think MacT is smart and unafraid of tugh decisions. I am optimistic.

Struds, many words but the bottom line is that Tamby failed miserably. Everyone in E-town knew the deficiencies on this team but Tamby failed to correct them. Get the bum outta here.
Tambellini wasn't brought here to turn things around. He was brought here to drive this team facefirst into the mud/lottery position for multiple years, to restock the shelves with players who have no other option but to come here. During his time here, Edmonton added 5 really good building blocks to their lineup. I hardly think you could call that a failure. Where would the future of the Oilers be today if it wasn't for those 5 new building blocks.
Steve was hired to be the sacrificial lamb. He accomplished everything Katz/Lowe wanted him to. A 21st overall, 3 first overalls, and yet another top 5 selection this summer. I'd hardly call that coming up short.
Well Darryl i would like to know why your comments when you bought the team are not being adhered to. You said if anyone in your organization is doing a poor job they will be let go and you know very well if this were not hockey in Edmonton you wouldn't have any fans coming out to watch Kevin Lowe make a mockery of a once proud franchise, here are a few things I would like to point out. Ok!! 1st on Oil Change Kevin introduced Tambelini to Oiler Staff, you were sitting right there Darryl, and made the comment, with a huge laugh I might add as if it were a joke, He said " Steve come in and clean up this mess. Darryl do you think it is funny Kevin and his decisions made a mess of the organization. Now he comes in and made another joke during Mac T introduction. As one of the fans that doesn't make too many games to Rexall I don't like my team loosing and my president of operations making a joke of it. 2ndly he says in the news conference that almost all other GMs in the league would love to have the oilers roster so of course why not fire the GM that gave you that roster, oh ya makes sense LMAO. 3rd does anyone care that after Mac T left the oilers he went to Chicago and got fired aft one year cause he led them to a worse winning percentage than they had the previous year, then he goes to that tournament aft the new year a couple years back and leads our Canadian boys to their worst finish in 7years, then he goes to the world championships in May of that year and leads that team to their worst EVER performance in the tournament. Of course no other team in the league will touch him, not even Lowes mentor Sather will touch Mac T with a 10 ft pole, .so Darryl you let Kevin hire him back because why??? Because he got some university degree , what in the heck does that do for our oilers. I am sorry but this move and even the move to hire him back at all just makes no sense. Heck now he will probably fire Kruger and put Buckky in his place so then Darryl you will have 3 oiler grinders running your organization, do you think that the old oilers would not have won any of those stanley cups if they didn't have these 3 guys or is it like it seems that you are letting your buddies run this team into the ground, would you let anything even close this even begin to start running your Rexall organization into the ground before you started firing people. And don't tell me it takes time. Columbus has done it in one year, St Louis did it last year, Tampa bay did it a few years ago in only a few years. It can be done but not with this crew. If the oilers have any success it will be because Hall Eberle and the rest are too good to loose not because Craig got a college degree. Not to mention how I and I can think of one family feel about Mac T getting any chance to succeed considering his past legal issues.
Oh ya and one last thing and this is to Craig! Hey Craig I hope you don't plan on letting Kruger stay for 8 years of loosing just because he has a good attitude. You didn't have a good year coaching the year you went to the cup, even with Pronger your team was loosing then a miracle happened, a soso goalie came to town (rolly) and played way over his head right up until Bergeron took him out and the of course you couldn't coach your way out of a paper bag aft that and without Rolly you lost. Great choice Kevin and real smart to keep an arrogant guy with a proven bad record as president at the helm Darryl.
Oh ya and Kevin great job with the whole Pronger thing , you must be especially proud of your buddy over that one Darryl. Make me GM and when some guy decides he doesn't want to play here I will tell him to stay home unpaid not give him to another team for a nobody even though Lupul has finally arrived not in oiler colors though.

Emery County Commissioner Jeff Horrocks opened the recent commissioners meeting and welcomed Delena Fish from the Division of Workforce Services to make her presentation. Fish informed the commissioners she was there to talk about the Sub For Santa program.
"We need to find a fiscal agent to the program. DWS had handled all the applications in the past, but we are now in need of a new fiscal agent. Most state agencies are not allowed to be a fiscal agent. Our problems in the past have been that some of the clients who have applied for help are not being served. We want to serve everyone who applies. We are OK for this year, but there will be a problem next year if we do not find an agency willing to be the fiscal agent for this program," said Fish.
Fish went on to tell the commissioners that Judy Palmer has headed up the program by doing the shopping and distribution of the items. Palmer plans to keep doing the job she is presently doing with Sub For Santa. Geraldine Wright informed the commissioners the agency who takes this fiscal responsibility must be a 501C3 to accept the donations.
"We are just letting you know that we have a problem for next year, and we would appreciate any recommendations you can give to keep the funds here in Emery County," said Fish. She also said the DWS will continue to oversee the applications and all volunteers will remain in place. The commissioners made several suggestions of groups to approach with this request, and asked her to report back.
Commissioner Gary Kofford then explained a new county road repair agreement between Consolidation Coal Company and the county. He said Consol has a new coal lease and should the mining interfere with the road in Miller Canyon or do any damage to that road, this agreement states that Consol will be responsible for the funding to repair the road. The commissioners agreed to enter into this agreement.
Mark H Williams, representing the travel bureau, asked the commissioners to consider the adoption of a restaurant tax in Emery County. "Emery County is the only county in the state that does not have a restaurant tax in place," said Williams.
"If this 1 percent tax is adopted, the revenue would be around $60,000 for the travel bureau. We feel the public is used to paying this tax anyway, and the travel bureau will manage the funds."
Commissioner Drew Sitterud stated he felt this is a good idea. Commissioner Kofford stated this tax would only cover restaurants and not convenience stores. This revenue must be used specifically for advertising and promotion of Emery County. The commissioners approved to begin the process to review implementation of the tax.
During the Crandall Canyon Mine disaster, many of the county's employees were called on to perform above and beyond their duties. Many put in long hours that were unpaid. Following the disaster, Murray Energy sent the county a large amount for reimbursement of the county's expenses during that time.
"This money was paid by the mining company at the time of the disaster," said Commissioner Kofford, "These employees' claims have been in contention for more than a year. We have denied their claims twice and in all fairness, we need to approve these claims. I move we pay the claims." The commissioners approved to give the bonus money proportionately to those employees for their extra time. One employee will be given a bonus of $5,000, another will receive $2,500, three more will receive $1,000, and the last will receive $500.
Sheriff LaMar Guymon said, "That money which was sent to the county from Murray Energy has paid the expenses. Our request is for the remainder of the funds to be put into a separate budget. The money is there now, our request is to take that money and put in the Homeland Security budget for hazmat equipment and maintenance. That is just something for you to think about," he said.
In other business conducted by the commission, an agreement was signed to allow emergency contact numbers to be printed in an emergency preparedness book by Castleview Hospital. Consent was also given to enter into an agreement with Horrocks Engineers for a project to be completed at Eagle Canyon on I-70.
Commissioner Horrocks stated the commission and the Emery County Public Lands Council will sponsor an energy producers meeting. This meeting will enable the county officials to be better informed about the needs of the energy producing companies in the county. This meeting will be held Jan. 13, 2009.
The Emery County Commission will meet on Dec. 2 at 9 a.m. in the courthouse.

Tom Croft scored in the final minute to hand Leicester a 41-32 bonus-point victory over London Irish at Madejski Stadium on Sunday.
Tom Croft scored a try in the final minute to hand Leicester a 41-32 bonus-point win over London Irish at the Madejski Stadium on Sunday.
Tigers were trailing with just two minutes left on the clock when Toby Flood landed his eighth kick of the afternoon to put the visitors in front before Croft's late strike denied Exiles a losing bonus point.
London Irish began the match strongly and Tom Homer took advantage of some early ill-discipline from Leicester's forwards to give his side a 3-0 lead and take has personal points tally to 200 for the season.
Irish's Kiwi fly-half Dan Bowden then got in on the act with a drop-goal from in front of the posts as the home side opted to take the points on offer as reward for their domination of territory and possession in the first quarter of an hour.
Tigers worked their way back into the game though and, such was their domination in the scrum, they twice spurned the opportunity to register three points of their own in favour of another scrum. And the decision was vindicated as the forwards rumbled the set piece to within a few feet of the line, allowing Ben Youngs to feed Toby Flood, who ghosted in between two defenders to score.
The England fly-half was far too relaxed with the conversion though and it was charged down by London Irish to ensure they remained ahead.
Their lead did not last long though as Leicester were straight back on the front foot, the forwards again asserting their dominance, and Julian Salvi had the simple task of touching the ball down for a second try after a typically powerful run from Thomas Waldrom.
Irish were not about to give in though and, after Homer had notched another three points, scrum-half Darren Allinson made a great break from a line-out before offloading to Bryn Evans to gallop over the line and give the Londoners a 16-12 lead at the interval.
Tigers began the second half brighter but after Flood had momentarily given them the lead with two penalties, Homer burst through a couple of arm-tackles and accelerated away to score.
The game was really beginning to open up and, after Flood added another three points, Billy Twelvetrees exploited a gaping hole in the London Irish defence before passing to Manu Tuilagi to stroll over untouched underneath the posts.
Homer continued his excellent form with the boot though, kicking three penalties to Flood's one, to give Irish a one-point lead with less than five minutes remaining.
But Leicester's power at the scrum came to the fore again and, after the pack won another penalty at the set piece, Flood restored their lead.
The home side threw the ball from side to side as the game went into added time in an attempt to snatch victory at the death but, in doing so, they came up with a critical error which allowed replacement Croft to pounce on a loose ball and canter in for the final score.
Croft's try gave the Tigers a bonus point and denied London Irish a losing bonus point of their own, an act which could prove vital in the final Premiership reckoning as Leicester look to cement a top four place and Irish attempt to qualify for Europe.
The scorers:
For London Irish:
Tries: Evans, Homer
Cons: Homer 2
Pens: Homer 5
Drop: Bowden
For Leicester :
Tries: Flood, Salvi, Tuilagi, Croft

Spoiler!It's a wonder Jiraiya didn't leave the leaf for Hidan's village of pervy paradise... The village hidden in the hotsprings!
72 hours of hell!
we dont even know if he got hit in the eye
ok my thoughts are that pien will indeed try to kill him. i think he is fucking with kakashi's mind so that he may get any information out of him that he has, make kakashi want to die buy torturing him..... if thats the case either kakashi dies or he is saved some how... maybe naruto.
kakashi though might be fucking with pien back making pien think he is in a better position then he really is. thus genjutsu...
yeah me too back with kakashi fuck genjitsu pein fake eyeballs leak haha
He doesn't need a new sharingan if he's dead.
Avatar and Signature by Ravona
if 2 peins are in the area. 1 being in eye contact with a unchiha or sharingan user and the other not in direct eye contact with the sharingan user or uchiha, would the genjutsu work?
because all perspectives are shared wouldnt the genjutsu be found out and thus have no effect?
kakashis sharingan then would have no effect on pien if it was able to even cast a genjutsu

Prokeimenon. Mode 4.
Psalm 18.4,1
Their voice has gone out into all the earth.
Verse: The heavens declare the glory of God.
BRETHREN, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how shall I benefit you unless I bring you some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? If even lifeless instruments, such as the flute or the harp, do not give distinct notes, how will any one know what is played? And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? So with yourselves; if you in a tongue utter speech that is not intelligible, how will any one know what is said? For you will be speaking into the air. There are doubtless many different languages in the world, and none is without meaning; but if I do not know the meaning of the language, I shall be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. So with yourselves; since you are eager for manifestations of the Spirit, strive to excell in building up the church. Therefore, he who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unfruitful. What am I to do? I will pray with spirit and I will sing with the mind also. Otherwise, if you bless with the spirit, how can any one in the position of an outsider say the "Amen" to your thanksgiving when he does not know what you are saying? For you may give thanks well enough, but the other man is not edified. I thank God that I speak in tongues more than you all; nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others, than ten thousand words in a tongue.

No home can be totally immune to the threat of crime. But, prior planning and common sense precautions can significantly reduce the risk.
Use this test to survey your home. Every "No" answer indicates a weakness that could help a criminal. As you eliminate the "No" answers, you reduce the risk that you will become a victim of crime.
Go through the test carefully and systematically. Look over the situation at night as well as in the daytime. Remember, this test points out weaknesses in your personal security program. You cannot be adequately protected until these are corrected.
Of course, there is no such thing as total security. Taking this test and following it's suggestions can't guarantee that you won't become a crime victim. It will however, greatly reduce your odds of becoming a victim by helping you take the reasonable precautions needed to deter all but the most determined criminals.
Did You Know?

Remember, the Home Security Test is designed to point out possible weaknesses in your personal protection program and give you some ideas for correcting them. The Test does not, and is not intended to, address every possible crime threat. It is intended only to give you a place to start; to show you some of the more common security problems and solutions. It's up to you to take the information in the Test and build on it until you develop a personal protection program that fits the special needs of your home, family and lifestyle. If you have questions about crime prevention and personal security or need help with a specific security problem, contact a qualified security consultant and/or your local law enforcement agency.

Earlier today, Volkswagen released the first two teaser images of a new vehicle that will be positioned above the Passat sedan in its lineup.
Like the Passat CC, the new model will feature a fastback roofline. But according to VW, the swept back roofline will in no way interfere with backseat headroom as one of the key objectives "was to combine avant-garde design with a high level of versatility."
According to VW, the 2017 e-Golf comes with a city driving EPA estimated fuel economy of 126 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPGe). On the highway, it's rated at 111 MPGe, while its combined city/ highway estimate is 119 MPGe.
Those numbers are, for the most part, improved over the 2016 EPA estimates, which were 126/105/116 city/highway/combined. It also makes the 2017 e-Golf's EPA estimates, at least so far, the best in the Compact Class.

The Triad of Evil, often abbreviated triad, is an organization of three critical and sarcastic out of state students who chose to attend college in Greensboro, NC. They are most likely found mocking the south and it's residents for their own amusement. They especially enjoy it when North Carolina residents insist on the incorrect pronunciation of Appalachian.
"I knew what you was doing, I ain't stupid" said the Triad of Evil.
