Slumping Fish, Dodgers to meet in LA
Rookies Fernandez, Magill looking to break teams out of doldrums
That the Marlins enter this weekend's series in Los Angeles in last place in the National League East may come as no surprise.
That the Dodgers enter it also in last place is downright shocking, given their offseason full of lofty postseason and World Series projections.
The upcoming three-game set will conclude a three-city, 10-game road trip for the Marlins, who will look to end it on a positive note.
The Marlins arrive in Los Angeles having been swept by the Padres and losing six of their last eight.
Right-hander Jose Fernandez is coming off his first career win -- in which he threw seven innings of one-hit ball with nine strikeouts against the Phillies -- and looks to use that momentum to get the Marlins on the right track.
"I'm basically trying to throw a lot of strikes and make good pitches," Fernandez said. "Hopefully we will have a good result."
While the Marlins enter the series struggling, so do the Dodgers, losers of seven straight. They turn to Matt Magill on Friday.
Magill will be making his third career start after lasting just 1 1/3 innings on Saturday against the Giants. He allowed five runs on six hits, but was better in his Major League debut on April 27, going 6 2/3 innings and allowing two runs on four hits against Milwaukee.
Dodgers center fielder Matt Kemp enters the game with just one homer in 33 games. He insists that his left shoulder is fine after offseason surgery and that his power will return.
"It will come back," Kemp said. "I'm just trying to get back to the basics of what made me successful. It's easier said than done. I've got to go out there and slow the game down a little bit and it will all come back."
Marlins: Dietrich called up to play second base
• Derek Dietrich, promoted from Double-A Jacksonville, will get regular playing time at second until Donovan Solano comes off the disabled list. If Dietrich performs, manager Mike Redmond said, it will be tough to keep him out of the lineup.
• Manager Mike Redmond was hoping to give Placido Polanco a day off on Wednesday, but because of injuries, the veteran started his ninth straight game.
Dodgers: Gonzalez exits with injury
• First baseman Adrian Gonzalez left Wednesday's game against Arizona after the fourth inning. He aggravated a mild strain in his left trapezius muscle in his neck.
Gonzalez fell awkwardly in the top of the inning trying to catch a foul ball down the first-base line. He batted in the bottom of the frame -- lining an RBI double -- but did not return for the fifth.
Gonzalez, who leads the Dodgers with 23 RBIs, expects to be ready for the series opener against the Marlins.
"I'll be all right," he said. "I'll be ready to go Friday."
Worth noting
• Polanco is hitting just .245 in his career against the Dodgers. That's his lowest mark against any team (minimum 50 plate appearances).
• This will be the first meeting between the clubs in 2013. The Dodgers took four of six in 2012, including two of three in Los Angeles.
• Kemp has hit only three home runs in his career against the Marlins -- tied for the fewest he has hit against any National League opponent.

Wtf. I never thought i'd see the day after the death of the gaim-vv project....
I wonder if this happened in light of empathy being chosen for all the major distros as the default im client?
Phoronix: Pidgin 2.6 Released, Brings Voice & Video
The Pidgin instant messaging program has been losing some ground recently to GNOME's Empathy program as more Linux distributions switch to using this newer instant messaging application. Pidgin 2.5 was released just under one year ago, but arriving today is Pidgin 2.6, which may help in winning over more users...
Wtf. I never thought i'd see the day after the death of the gaim-vv project....
I wonder if this happened in light of empathy being chosen for all the major distros as the default im client?
i think empathy is based on libpurple (not 100% sure thought)
Great news! I hope to test it and that others will test it in spite of the new wave of empathy.
it's unfortunate, but I've lost a lot of respect for the pidgin devs.
I remember them complaining about not wanting to do audio/video support, and how it wasn't a priority etc..
WELL, it looks like they're pulling a microsoft (i.e. improving something ONLY because the competition is beating you - like internet explorer)
It seems Pidgin has only improved because soon they won't be used anymore.
With Ubuntu switching to empathy (as default), that's a huge difference in market share
Actually every distro is switching to empathy, because empathy has been chosen as the Gnome's default IM.
So what if Ubuntu is moving to empathy? What devs include in distros by default is not always what users want/need. Ubuntu has a 6 months release cycle, so if not enough "new" features are introduced, a new IM client is a good way distract users from that.
Furthermore let's not forget about Debian (Mr. "stable") and Fedora (Mr. "new features") for example, who still have Pidgin by default.
I do not really see a problem with the introduction of audio/video. They introduce these features to make Pidgin more universal. And yes, if it was not for competition we would not know such word as "PROGRESS" which (usually) bring us something good.
But of course, according to SyXbit "improving something ONLY because the competition is beating you" is bad :-D
-Are playing chess (tennis, go, whatever) only to beat you friend? - Oh, I hate you! Go away, you are acting like MS
Nice! XMPP video is the only thing I need at the moment, since all those I regularly talk with are on Google Talk. Of course, Google Talk might use a different video protocol than XMPP... I read something about that.
Empathy is based on Telepathy. It does have support for libpurple protocols (I think).
Goody, I didn't want to try empathy that much (keeping my system as gnome-free and kde-free as possible).

Clearing the bikelane/stormdrain... SW Barbur Blvd.
Was taking photos of the new buffered bike lanes on SW Barbur Blvd (between SW Hooker and the Naito/Barbur split) when I found it flooded.
In looking for the cause, I found it was due to the fall leaves clogging the drain. I looked around and found a convenient advertising sign "stick", and after a few pokes was able to allow it to drain. See Something? DO SOMETHING!!! |
Good work, K'Tesh. Sheesh, November rain storms are a real mess! I cleaned out a few clogged drains on my daily rounds; used the toe of my waterproof boots to kick off the matts of leaves. The other day when it was REALLY pouring it was too deep for me to reach the drains at a flooded intersection--like half way up small car tires!!--so I left a message on the City of Vancouver webform*. I noticed a sweeper truck and drain cleaners patrolling the neighborhood the next day.

Told to mind my own business... OOPS! Wrong Answer
Caught a landscaper blowing leaves into the bike lane today... I asked him if he was going to clean it up. He got all pissed at me telling me that they will go away in a few weeks, and I should go and mind my own business... Guess he didn't know, my business is bike/ped/ADA advocacy. OOPS!
Unfortunately, my camera's battery dies if I leave it in the camera, so I wasn't able to photograph him. I got the name of his company, called and complained to them. Went to the McDonald's restaurant that hired him, and complained about the mess, and how it's a hazard to cyclists (A LBS owner crashed when a hidden stick popped up and broke his carbon fiber fork once). Called Code Enforcement, and let them know about the situation. I quickly heard back from Code Enforcement, that they've contacted McDonald's and advised them of the complaint and how they are liable for any crashes that result from people avoiding, or crashing due to the mess in the bike lane, and was working with the landscaping company to identify and "educate" the offending landscaper. I'm guessing that this guy's going to be coming back to work for them anytime soon. At last check, the mess was still in place, but Code Services is on the case. I did manage one photograph of the mess though before the camera died. Last edited by K'Tesh; 11-29-2012 at 04:53 PM. |
Stopped Superbowl Drunks Tonight.
Stopped 6 drunks from driving home tonight. Today was the Superbowl. I'm not a big fan of football, so I took the time to go to my favorite study place and do some reading for tomorrow's class (midterms this week... oh Joy!).
While I was there, I witnessed several people who were quite unstable on their feet walk past (loudly talking with slurred speach), heading from the pub next door to their cars. Fortunately they were busy talking, but it was clear they were about to drive home in two cars. Having left my cell phone at home, I asked another regular at my hangout if he had a cell phone... Nope, but the off duty cop who walked in right after those people walked past did. He heard my request to call the cops, and went out and talked to them (just as they were backing up). He identified himself to them, and talked the driver into a quick field sobriety check. Everybody was happy (except for the guy who was backing the 49's), and they realized that they could get into a lot of trouble if they drove home. A few calls to the kids, and their new drivers arrived to take them home. I bought the cop's meal as a Thank You, then took the back way to get home. Once there, I called the non-emergency dispatch to request additional patrols around the pub. See Something? DO SOMETHING! (the life you save could be mine) Last edited by K'Tesh; 02-03-2013 at 10:11 PM. |
Another couple of grates get work...
Back in July, I warned PBOT about this grate at the corner of SW Barbur Blvd and SW Condor Ave.
It's a steep section of road that comes in at a really sharp angle. If I was riding down Condor, and needed to do a right turn, I'd pull over to the right and drop my foot to the curb to help keep me upright while I check to see if it's safe to do the turn. That grate prevents me from doing that. So, PBOT went out and put a temporary flashing warning sign over it the next day... something like one of these... And it sat there until the repaving of Barbur was finished. However, they never replaced the grate with a bike safe one. A car has been parked over that spot for some time, so I wasn't able to see what or if anything was done, until a few weeks ago, when I saw that nothing was done. A few calls into the 24 Hour hotline, and last week I saw that it was replaced with one that has straps welded over the slots, thus making it safe for us to ride over. (Photo Pending) On another occasion, I was in Pioneer Courthouse Square, and I noticed that there is a grate that isn't ADA compliant. (too wide of gaps, oriented wrong, and (probably) made from non-compliant materials (something ran over it, bending the whole thing). (Photo pending upload). I added this to a continuing complaint about the non-ADAAG compliant grates at PSU, and yesterday, I noticed that hey had it cordoned off. Another grate just a few feet away was compliant, how they managed to get one right, and one wrong, I'll probably never know. (Photo pending upload) Now, if PDX or PSU can only get the grates fixed on campus... Last edited by K'Tesh; 02-05-2013 at 09:22 PM. |
The Return of a Fallen Soldier... My SAK's Been Restored.
It's been a while, but my old Swiss Army Knife that was damaged trying to clear the Fanno Creek Trail is on it's way home after spending some time with the manufacturer. According to FEDX it's on its way home today. (I'm broke, couldn't afford to send it in until this last January)
The tree that damaged it on December 2, 2009. Here you can see the damaged Wood Saw, and chewed up Saw Liners (and the replacement knife in the background). Can't wait to get home to find it on the porch. After a few welcome home photos, it'll get a couple of extra's (I'm replacing the OEM Scales with Plus Scales and adding the Pen, Pin, and Miniature Screwdriver). Then it'll get a few more photos taken of it. SAWed Something... DID Something!!! K'Tesh Last edited by K'Tesh; 02-07-2013 at 11:40 AM. |
Vancouver vs Portland repair response
I've made a few online repair requests in Vancouver for potholes, lights out, damaged crossings etc and the response time is 2-3 weekdays for a fix (pretty impressive). Lately I've tried out Portland's online form starting out with getting the lights fixed on the path/tunnel in the NE corner of I-5 and Marine drive. 17 days to fix. Not bad and it's a much better ride now. Today I reported the shoddy patch job left behind after some utility work on the path behind the Hayden Island Safeway (holes in the patch, ruts, and not filling in the cut out sections with enough asphalt). Let's see how long this one takes. UPDATE : Just a heads up for anyone heading through that area. The patchwork is sinking in and getting worse. More holes have developed over night and the ruts are getting worse as the asphalt settles in. The cracked section near the North end of Safeway is basically destroyed from the trucks driving over it making it narrow for users and there are several cones blocking the damaged section. Careful out there!

SW Cedar Hills Blvd... Now With Added Gaps!!!
Mixed bag today...
As I was coming home from going to the Orthopedic and Fracture Clinic (a pair of nasty bone bruises, but no fractures or torn ligaments), I noticed that ODOT had fixed the blackhole grates on SW Cedar Hills Blvd... Kinda. I'm kinda getting tired of the word "kinda". I send my knife to Victorinox, and they kinda fix it (saw is still bent). I request that safety improvements get made, and they kinda get overlooked... You kinda get my drift. In this old photo, you can see how the grate is really recessed due to overlays not bringing up the grate to the new street level. Now, it's level, but Wait! What are those new gaps?! Yup, they're wide enough to swallow my Ranger model Swiss Army Knife (and my knife is wider than a road bike's tires). Close but no banana... Last edited by K'Tesh; 02-12-2013 at 11:01 PM. |
does the city of Vancouver have an Android app for that?
I'm not aware of any app for Vancouver street problems but I have bookmarked this page:
http://www.cityofvancouver.us/Online....asp?cat=81732 It links on to several categories with reporting forms, including Street Lights, Street Repairs, Traffic Light problems, Streets, Utilities & Public Spaces, and some others. Not as convenient as a app but it works on my 'droid. I'm satisfied with the response times when I've used it for burned out or flickering street lights, street sweeping and cutting back brush from sidewalks and bike lanes...within a week. in case you need to type it in, given the way this forum hides long urls... cityofvancouver.us/OnlineServices/default.asp?cat=81732 |

Phoronix: Ubuntu's Unity Still Crashes A Lot, Usability Problems
A week ago a discussion began on the Ubuntu development mailing list whether Ubuntu 11.04 should ship with Unity or the classic GNOME desktop as many people are concerned about the state of the Canonical-developed desktop and shipping it too prematurely. While it looks like they'll continue using Unity since they went ahead and released Ubuntu 11.04 Beta 2 yesterday without any change, they have some published some rather frightening results from their user testing...
I might switch back to Debian with the direction that Ubuntu has been moving... I installed beta 1 and not only did my desktop look like shit when I first booted up (lots of graphic corruption), my whole desktop crashed within 5 minutes. I thought that I would give it a chance and switch over to using the propriety drivers (AMD), but the situation was worse, the crashes happened right away. Fortunately, I was able to figure out to switch back to using metacity, and my system has been much more usable.
If Ubuntu pushes ahead with releasing Unity, I will be forced to tell the numerous people that I provide support to to not upgrade to save me the hassle. Go ahead and release a buggy product Mark, and watch your user base disappear.
This was my first thought: http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/stickers/327b/
Yeah, that's nonsense. This news clearly shows Canonical has no idea how to improve usability. They rather shouldn't do these kind of tests, so nobody learns about the usability problems unexperienced users run into, so nobody can complain. It works out for gnome-panel, gnome-shell and KDE after all.
Yeah, I completely agree. I've tried Ubuntu 5.04 Alpha 2 six years ago and it crashed, so I really can't recommend Ubuntu to any of my friends.
I have been following unity development for a while now, and with an nvidia card crashes has almost disappeared in the last few unity updates. I guess most people use mac osx to compare usability in other interfaces, let me tell when I first tried mac (it was just leopard) it took a lot of time to find my applications menu.
I think with some more bug squashing unity can be made crash free, and some changes to the applications lens it *can* rock.
Here is what the participants of the usability test had to say about unity https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ub...il/002973.html its mostly positive
Quote me the FUD.
Unity does not work for me as of Beta 1. If I get the chance to futz around with my desktop some more, I'll try it again with Beta 2, but don't hold your breath.. Once bitten, twice shy, as they say.
My experience with Unity says that it is not ready for prime time.
As i said above that unity has improved a lot on getting rid of the crashes in last few releases, after the beta 1 there has been i think atleast 2 unity releases. Install the beta 2, update to the newest and see for urself. I'm not saying the crashes have gone, but they have certainly removed a lot of serious bugs. There is also two weeks left, hope they can get rid of most of them.
I suspect Xubuntu and Lubuntu are the same way. The main experimentation and breakage seems to have been around Ubuntu. Due to strange/improperly unexplained decisions starting with 10.04's UI, I've been behind Kubuntu instead for a fully featured Desktop Environment as it finally stabilised with KDE 4.5.
Kubuntu 11.04 is FAST and snappy. Largely thanks to the 2.6.38 kernel combined with KDE 4.6.2 which has fixed most of the issues I've had with KDE 4.x in the past. One nice thing about Linux - if you don't like the Desktop Environment switch. If the distro has reached the "bad" tipping point, switch. Lot more flexibility than Mac or Windows where for better or worse you're pretty stuck with whatever comes out that year. Some years are good (Win7, XP) some years bad (Vista, WinME).
Ubuntu Gnome all the way to 10.10 was making nice/steady improvements overall (except for the decision around the buttons moving to the left in 10.04). I understand having to do something (with Gnome 3 being the next KDE4 release), but I would have preferred if they had switched to KDE and applied the same level of effort to helping KDE fix issues and add features with the now stable KDE. Particularly since Ubuntu is going the QT route anyway.

The speakers that originally came in your car were made from inexpensive materials, designed to create acceptable sound at the lowest possible cost to the manufacturer. If you love music, you deserve better. Name-brand aftermarket speakers deliver fuller, richer sound with considerably more detail and nuance, and they're capable of playing louder and cleaner than factory speakers. Connect new speakers to your factory radio and you'll get the best possible sound from your dealer-equipped system. Pair them up with a new car stereo for a level of enjoyment that can rival a high-fidelity home audio experience.
Great speakers. Excellent sound. Written By Anonymous, Seattle on Thursday, January 15, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these to replace the stock 6x9s on the rear deck of 2006 Accord VP. These were showing as not fitting in this car. The Crutchfield rep said they were too high. Bought them anyway because of the great price and reviews. Dropped in and the stock grills fit with no issues. Sound amazing especially compared to the pathetic stock speakers. I have these and the front speakers powered by a Pioneer 5500BHS deck. They sound good. I would say that these would sound better if powered by an external amp. May go that route down the road. Highly recommended speakers. Pros: High quality build, built in crossovers, great sound. Cons: Tweeters are a little high. Make sure they fit.
Clarity and accurate reproduction Written By Anonymous, MS on Tuesday, January 06, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers for the price, can handle every bit of their advertised rms wattage and reproduce the sound accurately and clearly.
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Davypig, Parma, Ohio on Saturday, January 03, 2015 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Nice speakers! Good, clean sound. Pros: Sound. Price Cons: Still need a sub. Not really a con-I knew I still would.
Excellent Speakers for the Price! Written By lox4rox, Texas on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought two pairs of these for the front and rear doors of a 2014 Dodge Ram 3500. Front ones slipped right in, rear ones were a little more challenging to install but nothing too difficult. All the effort was worth it...even with the stock stereo these sound great, and way more full and clear then the stock speakers. I am excited to save up for a new head unit and amplifier! Pros: Sound incredible, even with stock stereo Cons: None
I was amazed Written By Hwalkman, 423303 on Sunday, December 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These Polks really brought my OEM system to the next level. I had another set of aftermarket speakers in my vehicle but these brought a clarity that I never thought possible with a factory outfit. Pros: Great frequency response. Cons: None that comes to mind
Polk at last Written By Morris, McDonough, Ga on Monday, December 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Fantastic sound quality as expected. My friends and family loved the sound over the holiday. I can't wait to replace the front speakers. Pros: Excellent reputation maintained Cons: I waited to long to purchase
Great for the price Written By GeorgeU, Illinois on Monday, November 24, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers for the price. Marine rated too. Fit fine in my Saturn Aura but GM doesn't make it easy. Instructions were perfect for how to access the old speaker and install new ones. Pros: Great improvement over stock speakers. Marine rated.
1966 GTO sounds amazing now Written By Brandon, Davie on Monday, November 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Soo lets start this story like this.... my old man has a '66 GTO little bit of a restomod going on, he finished the resto in the late 90's early 2000's. Well the stereo was pathetic to say the least.. so I swapped out the aftermarket casset stereo for a original '66 AM radio. Relocated a pioneer multimedia single din headunit into the glove box, custom glove box mount and everything. Dad decided he wanted to go cheap on the rear speaker and I didnt agree orginally. So fast foward, we install these sony's. I voiced my opinion about which speaker would be better looking a perform better, next thing I know dad approves and says these look sooo much better than the sony's he originally bought. So on to Crutchfield and purchased these. I have these powered by a Rockford Fosgate 400W with a sub bridged on the other channels. Needless to say, these speakers DON'T look out of place at all in a classic car and they just sound amazing!! Pros: Gorgeous look when together Crisp sounds mids sound incredible and im not even pushing them :) Made right here in the USA Cons: GOOD GOD the size of these magnets puts some things to shame!!! Pain to put into the rear shelf of a 66 GTO but sooo worth it!
Polk Audio DXi690 Review Written By Ron W., Hebron, KY on Tuesday, November 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I was curious how well these speakers would perform and sound with my Dodge Ram's stock radio. They sound great! I now need to purchase a matching 6 1/2" pair for the rear door speakers. Installation took less than 15 minutes. Pros: Great sound and range!!! Cons: Should include locking washers so the vibration of the bass doesn't jar loose the screws. Not a big deal.
Smooth and Natural Sound!!! ;) Written By Gilberto, Brownsville, TX on Sunday, September 28, 2014 I bought these from a local big box store, not from Crutchfield. I spent close to an hour listening to these and other speakers and comparing the sound. It was either these or Alpine Type S. The Alpines looked nicer and the bass was fuller but the tweeter sounded less life like and more artificial. The DXIs just sound smoother and more natural. They have slightly less bass but the tweeters and woofer blend in better. I listen to all kinds of music and these sound great regardless. In my truck, I have them on 45W RMS. I can only imagine how they would sound on full power. Pros: smooth tweeter, natural sound, has a super tweeter, marine certified, good materials, good build quality, high sensitivity Cons: Plain design
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By RobF, Littleton, Co on Sunday, May 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good sound
Nice low end Written By Anonymous, Eldersburg, Md on Saturday, May 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Real nice bass from these speakers. Mounted them in custom enclosures mounted on the rear wheel wells of a 1994 Jeep Wrangler. They really couple nice with the Polk 4 x 6 speakers in the front dash they add greater depth than the front speakers can provide. Pros: Great sound Cons: They don't make them any more?
Really? You're kidding with these grilles Written By PeterTH, Jacksonville, FL on Wednesday, May 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers sound great, but a little thought could have gone into the design - particularly the mounting instructions (obscure in a "one booklet covers 90 countries" format AND the horrible grilles. You have to remove them to address the mounting holes, but getting that odd shape back into the tiny rails without bending them is really disturbing. I ended up damaging two, and Crutchfield said the no longer carried the speakers. I will end up with mis-matching grille covers. Pretty shoddy. Pros: Sound good Cons: No thought went into the instructions or the design of the grilles - practically impossible to mount them without bending/denting/distorting them. How about instead of a throw away "spacer" you put ten cents into designing a snap on grille cover than anyone could install? Shame on you Polk.
Kim's two cents Written By Kim, Englewood, FL on Wednesday, April 30, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound wonderful across the entire frequency range. Volume is great. This is due mostly to picking the right speakers for my medium quality Clarion unit. I was planning to purchase much higher price speakers that would have been underpowered and I would have been disappointed. Luckily, I called and spoke with the Crutchfield rep and he explained how these (lower priced) speakers would perform better with my existing equipment. Hats off to Crutchfield. When I'm ready to buy a higher end system, I know who I'll buy from. Pros: Great all-round sounds over the entire frequency range. Cons: None.
great speakers. can't go wrong Written By Dakota, Chicago, IL on Monday, April 28, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great bass with almost no distortion. They get pretty loud. Have them in an 05 Chevy cobalt running off of the in receiver amps and they run very well. No amp required. Don't hesitate Pros: Price. Sound. Design. Cons: None
Great Speakers for the money Written By Anonymous, Nixa, MO on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Easy to install. Sounds are superior to stock speakers. Pros: crisp clear sound. ease of install. dealing with Crutchfield. Cons: none
Now I'd rather just be in my car. Written By J Diggz617, Boston, MA on Wednesday, April 23, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) My girl use to be mad about the Xbox. Now she's mad that I spend more time in my car. Need I say More? I did add an Audison amp to the speakers for an even more crispier sound. Even though I purchased from Crutchfield, I feel like a kid at McDonalds... I'm loving It!!! Pros: price was hard to turn down, marine certified, and easy to install. Cons: nothing so far
Rich Sound Written By Tom M, St. Louis, MO on Friday, April 11, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers deliver a full rich sound that other speaker makers don't seem to achieve. I have used them for years so I also know that they are extremely reliable too! Pros: Great sound, reliable
Great speakers!! Written By Dusty S., Malvern, Ar on Wednesday, April 09, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers but i expect nothing less from polk. Visually they are lacking style though. Pros: Polk quality and sound Cons: Ugly
Nice speakers! Written By Greg, Chillicothe, Ohio on Monday, April 07, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Bought these because of them being a great bargain at half price, and because of the Polk name. Even at that, I debated, due to them being used in '69 Camaro and knowing that mods would have to be made to rear package shelf in order to get them installed. Did not want to bottom mount, which meant removing metal to get them to fit. An originality purist would not want to put these in his car. I'll let it go at that. Paired up with RetroSound Zuma and the 93dB sensitivity allows for decent volume without dedicated amps. I like these enough that I have also ordered a pair of DXi525s to install in kick panels. Pros: Well made. Nice looking. Sound great. Cons: Despise the push in grilles.
Great speaker Written By John V, Dover NH on Friday, April 04, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Speakers sound great, Cant beat the price! Thanks Crutchfield I love your company Pros: sound good price, looks Cons: none so far
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Anonymous, Albuquerque, NM on Tuesday, April 01, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sound! Pros: Came with grills Cons: Did not come with wire leads
Polk DXI 6×9 Written By Brad W, Alliance, Ne. on Monday, March 31, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding speakers and you can't beat the price. Some say that they don't put out bass, well they aren't subwoofers. Adding a amp, the closer you get to the RMS rating of the speaker, the better they will sound. I bought these a while back and just installed them 4 days ago and now I wish I would have installed them the day I got them. I still have 15 hours before I reach the 20 hour break in time. I have them powered with a Alpine MRX-F65 , backed up by a Alpine R12, powered by a Alpine MRX-M110. Head unit is a Sony DSX-S210X. Its not top of the line, but it is enough. Pros: Quality at a great price Cons: None
Polk DXi690 Speakers Written By JJC, Nebraska on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Perfect fit to replace factory JBL in 92 Mercury Marquis. Sound quality is awesome and they are performing beyond expectations. Glad the Crutchfield advisor suggested them to pair up with a new head unit. Pros: Perfect fit. Sound quality is extremely good. Cons: None
'06 Dodge Ram Quad Cab TRX4 Written By Gerald, Shelby, Ohio on Wednesday, March 26, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) put these in the front door of my truck and 6.5 DXI 651s Polks in the rear doors and they spound fantastic together! plenty of bass-(for my taste) and crystal clear! I love 'em! Pros: Great sound! Cons: none
Polk 6x9 Written By Donl, Forest lake mn on Tuesday, March 25, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Huge sound difference over stock. I bought more expensive components for front and these sound better. I would buy again.
Great sound. Written By USMCSgtJ, Oak Creek, WI on Tuesday, March 18, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great Sound, very nice upgrade from factory whether amplified or not. Unamplified, the sound is clear, highs are awesome, midrange is awesome, bass is a little sloppy and distorted. Amplified, these speakers shine. Block out the low range bass and these speakers are top notch and can be cranked. As most speakers of this size, trying to pump bass out creates distortion, if you believe you can get clean bass from a 6x9, it simply isn't the job meant for an 8 inch sub or bigger. Paired with a 50 to 100 watt amplifier they can really fill out the sound. Pros: Priced right, high quality. Cons: Bass distorts when not on a crossover.
Polk Audio Written By J.Elliott, Peru, IN on Monday, March 17, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Whoa, great value for the price. have crisp highs, and thumping bass for a non-sub speaker. Very nice! Pros: great all around sound. Cons: none
DXI690 Written By Marcus, Michigan on Monday, March 10, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Running these off the stock head unit in my 2005 Cobalt and I must say they sound amazing! While they may not be as loud stock, they are easily 100x clearer and offer great bass. For the price they're absolutely amazing. Pros: Sound quality, Good bass Cons: None

DXI690 Written By Fred O, Scottsdale, AZ on Wednesday, February 19, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Excellent sound from a 6X9 set of speakers.

More Powerful Than My Car Can Handle Written By VA Bull, Midlothian, VA on Saturday, February 15, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) When I turn up the bass, the back of my 1999 Camry starts to rattle - I guess I bought some speakers that provide too much power for my old car! :-) Pros: The speakers sound so much better than the old stock speakers that there is truly no comparison Cons: None so far

Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Anonymous, Scotts Valley, Ca on Thursday, February 13, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had to do some massaging to make them fit in my little boat but they sound fantastic on land. If it ever rains again I am looking forward to hearing them on a lake.
Best sounding speaker I've ever heard Written By Jeremy K, Oklahoma City on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 These are the best sounding speakers I have ever heard, the sound quality of these are superb to my Bose headphones, whenever I want to listen to music I go straight to my car. I hear guitar rifts and parts of synthesizers I never knew were existent within the music, you hear every note crystal clear with these speakers, I highly recommend them, Polk audio has a true fan. Pros: Sound clarity. Cons: none
Excellent Speakers for 2005 Toyota Sienna Written By Kingtut, Southern Calif. on Tuesday, January 21, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I had the speakers installed into the front door, using professional installation, as I wanted more bass without using a sub-woofer. The installer cut out the original stock 6x9 speakers, which was compose of cheap paper for cone and a tiny magnet, and used the their brackets/frames to install the Polk into the front doors. The sound coming from the original speakers was muffled and unintelligible. The sound now improved quite a bit with the stock Fujitsu Ten/Toyota head unit. Bass is stronger, treble is more clear and I can actually hear what the they were so bad that I hardly turned the stereo on from day one that I purchased the van. I should've replace the speakers sooner. I probably will replace the head unit soon with an aftermarket one to get more power to drive the Polk speakers. Pros: Good bass and treble, better mid-range than the original speakers. Cons: Have to get professional installation in order to use 6x9 speakers to the front doors.
Great speakers, great price Written By RexB, WI on Monday, January 20, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Purchase these to replace a old set of factory speakers, Awesome upgrade. Did not even need an additional amp and they sound great. Pros: Great sound, sensitivity made system sound better without adding amp Cons: None so far

Free shipping. Cons: none.

Polk 6x9 Written By sparky, NWArkansas on Friday, January 03, 2014 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Even though I am using an amp and sub, these speakers provide plenty of punch themselves. They can handle the power with no problems. No distortion, very solid bump and clarity. Pros: Excellent speaker, can handle what you give it. Cons: none

Great clear sound!!! Written By 98mgalant, Big Clifty Ky on Tuesday, December 03, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) These speakers sound great. These do seen to have a good amount of bass but I'm not a big fan of bass so they may not have as much bass as I think. They are very clear and I would recommend them to anyone. They did not however fit under my stock speaker covers but that's an easy fix for me.
polk dxi690 Written By Anonymous, cali on Wednesday, November 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great looking and sounding 6x9s. Clear high, solid lows. Pros: Great sale price, solid speakers Cons: Not 4-way
Nice Speakers Written By KC9RMU, Scottsburg, IN on Wednesday, October 16, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Good Set of Speakers. I installed these in my 86 Ski Supreme boat. I am pretty happy with the product in general, I gave it 4 stars because the speaker grills tend to work themselves off the housing. But I am sure this is not typical in a car install. A boat has a lot of vibration and that tends to walk the grills off the speaker. They sound great when you are idle in a boat, but with a PCM 351 inboard you tend to hear the motor over the music. Pros: Nice set of speakers. Happy with them. Cons: grills tend to fall off on a boat.
saab 93 rear deck upgrade Written By jim d, billerica,ma on Tuesday, August 27, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great suggestion from sales and excellent support team. speakers sound great, better than original set. Pros: easy installation

Awesome Written By Anonymous, Virginia on Saturday, June 29, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great speakers and can't beat the price for the quality. Put them behind the seat of my single cab and they sound really good. Very pleased on all fronts. Pros: Marine speakers. Easy install. Great quality Cons: None so far
Polk audio dxi690 Written By John G, Chambersburg, Pa on Thursday, June 13, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) The speakers are nice looking units which I installed using wooden speaker boxes which I built. They sit on the rear package shelf of a '59 Thunderbird. I am using a Custom Autosound receiver with about 45 watts per channel. Since I just finished installing them last night I haven't had a chance to try them with any audio source other than the FM on the unit. They sounded OK but did not have as much bass as I had hoped. The mounting was a little tricky becuase using the screws provided in to wood , it was difficult to keep the screws exactly perpendicular and if you have any angle at all to the screws, the snap in grille will not fit correctly. The Crutchfield folks were great and recommended and provided the correct wires/terminal ends for the mount. Pros: nice looking, marine rated. Cons: hard to mount correctly in a wood base, not much bass.
Dxi690 Written By Pete, Madison wi on Thursday, May 23, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed these in SO box and put behind the seat of my Chevy luv.

Polk Audio DXi690 Written By AYoung, Sacramento, CA on Monday, May 06, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very good speakers, installed them last week and theyre doing a great job. Pros: Good Mids, Lows, and Highs Good price Cons: The magnet in the bottom of these is VERY strong, so they like to attach to the metal around where i place them
Great speakers! Written By Reznik1012, Kentucky on Saturday, April 27, 2013 Great speakers for the price! I installed these in the rear deck of my cobalt along with the DXI 650's in the front doors. They sound great and could sound even better if I installed an amp. Pros: Great price, good highs and mids, Cons: Polk doesn't include crimp connectors but not a big deal.
Great Upgrade.... Written By Tom D, Western MA. on Friday, April 19, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Upgraded an old set of four way Kenwoods in my Wife's Grand Caravan. These are a major improvement all around. Clean bass, highs loud and not piercing or overpowering. Powered by 88 watts rms, crossovered at 80 hz, very happy with results. Highly reccommend these. Pros: Price very reasonable for sound quality Cons: can only think of the fact that the tweeter/midrange tower protrudes out enough to contact trim bezel in rear quarter when installed. Doesn't bother me, but someone else may find this unacceptable.....

Pretty good Written By The guy with the face, behind a monitor on Sunday, March 31, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) They sound a whole lot better then my Audiobahn AS69Q's ever did. Great highs and mids, but you will want to add a small sub for bass.
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Anonymous, Orlando, Fl on Monday, February 04, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Overall great speakers, sound is awesome. Will not handle lows well, nothing an amp and a good sub wouldn't fix. Just had to do that sooner than I wanted to Pros: Great sound Cons: Poor lows, need sub
Great Value Written By Anonymous, Indiana on Wednesday, January 30, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Installed in a 2010 Malibu. made the mistake of putting in cheaper Sony's. A few more dollars for these was the way i should have gone in the first place. Exceptional sound and value. Pros: Easy to install great sound Purchased on sale for $112. Cons: None so far

Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Jordan S, Memphis, TN on Monday, October 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) At first I was very disappointed by theses speakers. I had purchased these and the 570's 5 x 7 polks and for the life of me couldnt get any bass whatsoever even though I had played around with the eq on the head unit. So the next day i did a little more research on my HU and found that it did in fact have "loud" setting, that really helped but i still had major distortion on the extreme highs . Long story short I found out that I had to turn off all of the audio enhancements on my phone, so now they have great all around sound! Pros: Great all-around sound, the bass is great while still able to get those mid-range vocals and screaming highs without distortion. Cons: None for now.
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Carl, Knoxville, Tn. on Thursday, September 13, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Great sounding spekers. Good price. Goos looking. Easy to install.

Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Anonymous, n.w. indiana on Tuesday, July 03, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) great product
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Fred M, San Antonio, Texas on Sunday, July 01, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) This was my first set of Polk DXI 690's..I recently upgraded from a 2010 Ram Quadcab to a 2012. I purchased 2 sets of 690's to install into the quadcab doors. The difference between having the aftermarket Pioneer TSA 6974 6x9's with the Aramid fiber speakers and these new Polk 690's was " Definitely worth the few extra dollars!" Better clarity with a deeper, richer bass was noted by everyone. I am using the Factory Stereo..and am "Extremely Satisfied"! Only thing I feel I can do too improve anything in the near future might be to install a small Alpine 4 channel amp (40 watt or less) to maximize the Polk 690's full potential. As with my review of Polk 350's, the same remarks apply, not only will the 690's "Bring a smile to your face!," but with 2 sets installed in the 4 doors, these Polk's " Will put Chapstick on both of your Ears!" Pros: Install went exactly as easily outlined in the Crutchfield install sheets provided..
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Tim, Morgantown, WV on Thursday, September 15, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Awesome speakers, great sound, tight punchy bass, perfect fit into my 1996 Saab 900, which anyone who owns one knows it is very hard to find something that easily adapts to that car. I'm very satisfied with the product and with Crutchfield's service and have already ordered another pair of Polk audio speakers.
Excellent sounding speakers! Written By RonR, Northhaven, CT on Saturday, August 27, 2011 For the past 16 months I have been restoring a 1976 Pontiac Firebird Esprit. the car wears its original metalime green paint and has a white interior with black accents. The car originally came with one dash speaker and an AM radio. During restoration, when the interior was removed, I laid down the wires for an amplified 4 channel stereo system and applied new sound deadening material throughout the cab. The interior is a 35 year survivor in excellent condition after minor refurbishing. I bought these speakers to mount under my new package tray behind the rear seat. I have them connected to a Kenwood kdc-x395 receiver which I learned about and purchased through Crutchfield. These speakers match very nicely with this reciever and deliver crisp highs and tight bass. Eventually, I will add an Infinity reference 4 channel amplifier and find a suitable location for DXi series front speakers without cutting the dash. This car is starting to sound as good inside as it does outside!
Very Clean Speakers Written By Corey, Tricities, Tn on Sunday, July 31, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Very nice, very good sound. I would highly recommend these speakers over any factory speakers.
Polk Audio DXi690 Written By Matt D, Sherwood Ar, on Friday, July 29, 2011 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) I flush mounted these in my back porch ceiling hoping for a sleek look and more bass than what seems to come from outdoor box speakers. I could not be more excited with the results. From the grill to the garden, Polk Audio delivers!!!
Rear Deck Written By JamalC, Louisville,KY on Friday, March 11, 2011 I bought these along with some pioneer 6.5s but after hearing these i will eventually change the front 6.5 to polks. When first installed I was disappointed with the volume they were getting distorted at, but after breaking them in for about a week they sound better and better everyday, i can now almost max my kenwood cd player out and they are still crystal clear. From now on I will only use polk for my components. Well worth the price

John Frieda Frizz-Ease Hair Serum Original Formula
Julie L.EssexHairDark BrownChemically Treated HairFrizz Ease Serumreally good product made my hair silky i seriously have the worlds frizziest hair and it works on my hair pretty well. one thing they should do is make a bigger bottle beacause i used it all up in only two days because my hair is jus soo frizzy. xxposted Jul 25, 2013Link to this post
LcBrooklyn, NYThe Best!I THINK TIS PRODUCT IS AMAZING IT TAMES FRIZZ AND CONTROLS IT. A CON IS THAT IT IS VERY SMALL AND IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE BUT WHO CARES IT'S WORTH IT!posted Mar 20, 2010Link to this post
CassieCincinnatiGreat For Long Fine HairOMG this product is the only hair styling product that I use with my CHI Nano flat iron. It doesn't leave your hair sticky or tacky...only incredibly shiny and smooth. I highly recommend this product if you have fine curly hair that you want to straighten or just relax the curl a bit. The Frizz Ease Extra Strength Serum was too heavy and goopy for my hair, leaving it more stringy and greasy looking than shiny and bouncy. Get this serum because you will NOT be disappointed!posted Sep 21, 2009Link to this post

KrissiOregonIt Doesn't Exactly Do What It Says It Does.Its not too bad of a product, if you know how to use it. I wouldnt let it dry in my wet hair, but when Im done I but just the slightest amount on my hair (it can get your hair pretty greasy), and use a tiny bit of hairspray on my bangs. Once used, my hair stays soft and about 90% frizz-free for the rest of the day.posted Apr 4, 2009Link to this post
Goldi_locksCanadaToo GreasyI used Frizz Ease serum before I discovered Zero Frizz Serum quite some time ago. I found Frizz Ease too greasy it left buildup and flakes. Thus my hair looked dull and dirty. Then I switched to Zero Frizz which I absolutely love, unfortunately it is becoming increasingly harder to find. It is no longer available in drugstores, here in Canada, so I stocked up. I founfd Frizz Ease gloopy and overrated, while Zero Frizz is underrated and cheaper. I tried Frizz Ease Lite serum and that again, was a disappointment.posted Jun 14, 2008Link to this post

Requirements/Sources | Therapeutic Dosages | Therapeutic Uses | Safety Issues | Interactions You Should Know About
Vitamin B1, also called thiamin, was the first B vitamin discovered. Every cell in your body needs thiamin to make adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, the body's main energy-carrying molecule. The heart, in particular, has considerable need for thiamin in order to keep up its constant work. Severe deficiency of thiamin results in beriberi, a disease common in the 19th century, but rare today. Many of the principal symptoms of beriberi involve impaired heart function.
Your need for vitamin B 1 varies with age. The official US and Canadian recommendations for daily intake are as follows:
Although vitamin B 1 deficiency is rare in the developed world, it may occur in certain medical conditions, such as alcoholism , anorexia , Crohn's disease , and folate deficiency. People undergoing kidney dialysis or taking loop diuretics may also become deficient in vitamin B 1 . Certain foods may impair your body's absorption of B 1 as well, including fish, shrimp, clams, mussels, and the herb horsetail .
Brewer's and nutritional yeast are the richest sources of B 1 . Peas, beans, nuts, seeds, and whole grains also provide fairly good amounts.
A typical dose of vitamin B1 for therapeutic purposes is 200 mg daily, although much higher dosages have also been tried.
Some nutritional experts recommend taking B 1 with other B vitamins in the form of a B-complex supplement. However, there is no meaningful evidence that this offers any advantage.
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a condition in which the pumping ability of the heart declines, and fluid begins to accumulate in the lungs and legs. Standard treatment for CHF includes strong "water pills" called loop diuretics . These drugs, however, deplete the body of B 1 . 1 Since the heart depends on vitamin B 1 for its proper function, this is potentially quite worrisome. Preliminary evidence, including a small double-blind placebo-controlled trial , hints that supplementation with B 1 can improve symptoms. 2,3
One double-blind study suggests that thiamin taken at a dose of 50 mg daily might enhance mental function . 14
Other potential uses of thiamin have even less scientific support. Observational studies of people with HIV infection suggest (but definitely do not prove) that increased intake of vitamin B 1 might slow progression to AIDS and enhance overall survival rate. 4,5 Weak and contradictory evidence hints that vitamin B 1 may be helpful for Alzheimer's disease . 6-10 Vitamin B 1 has also been proposed as a treatment for epilepsy , canker sores , and fibromyalgia , but the evidence for these uses is too preliminary to cite.
Vitamin B 1 appears to be quite safe even when taken in very high doses.

Mizuki (ミズキ, Mizuki) was a chūnin-level shinobi of Konohagakure and a former instructor at the Academy. He is the first antagonist shown in the series.
Though not revealed in the manga, the anime expanded on Mizuki's background. He was originally a childhood friend to Iruka Umino and stood up for him until he was overwhelmed by sheer jealous rage when Iruka was getting better treatment by everyone else. Despite his new-found hatred towards Iruka, Mizuki pretended to be his friend to be noticed and discreetly keep Iruka miserable. Despite obtaining the rank of chūnin, being initially turned down from a position as an Academy instructor or being suspe
Originally, Mizuki appeared to be very polite and kind-hearted, and was described to be a sweet man by his former lover, Tsubaki. In reality, he does not care for anything or anyone beyond his own rise in power. He takes pride in the fact that he is not bound by things like morals or teamwork, and is willing to sacrifice whatever he has to in order to complete his goals. His desire for power seems to come from what appears to be an inferiority complex, as he cannot stand having anyone look down on him. In what is perhaps an attempt to make him even more of an antithesis to Naruto, Mizuki's least favourite food is ramen, which happens to be Naruto's favourite. Mizuki also has a particular hatred for Naruto, seeing him only as the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox. It is unknown if Mizuki had started off with these negative traits and was merely hiding it with the façade of a sweet man, or was indeed once the sweet man Tsubaki claimed, but became corrupted as time passed. Mizuki is, overall, greatly ambitious and dishonourable.[1]
Mizuki had shoulder-length, white hair that has a slight hint of blue to it and green eyes. He wears the standard attire of the Konoha-nin before his defection, which included flak jacket and forehead protector which is worn like a bandanna. In the anime, after his time in prison, he became much more muscular to the point Naruto didn't recognise him at first. He also started wearing a short opened blue vest with sleeves torn off and tight black pants with a dark brown belt with a silver rectangular belt buckle. His cursed seal which took the form of tiger-like stripes also gave him a more feral look.
At the beginning of the series, Mizuki did not seem very skilled beyond proficiently wielding large shuriken. His abilities were expanded upon in the anime, where he was revealed to have always been considered a very clever and talented ninja with a knack for learning advanced jutsu. He was even strong enough to defeat a jōnin such as Shizune when under the influence of the Animal Cursed Seal. In truth, the reason he had never advanced beyond chūnin was because there were suspicions on his conduct while in the field. He was also shown to be a very cunning manipulator from how he so easily deceived Naruto and then later the Legendary Stupid Brothers (although both cases were not too difficult, as Naruto was considered to be a little naive at the time, while the Legendary Stupid Brothers were simply unintelligent).
After Mizuki's life in prison, he seemed to be much more muscular and had an extreme amount of strength. During his battle with Iruka, he demonstrated a new mastery of a random assortment of jutsu. While mostly improvised, he proved very capable of using them in clever combinations that Iruka just barely survived.
Animal Cursed Seal
Orochimaru has granted Mizuki a special tattoo which was a prescription of a potion that initially transformed him into a muscle-bound behaemoth of himself, with tremendous raw speed and strength. It also allowed him to gain the appearance of a tiger-like being with even greater strength but with much weaker speed, but since the potion was incomplete, his body was eventually destroyed, turning him into a shrivelled up old man. Although Tsunade managed to save his life and restore his body, Mizuki lost all of his battle and physical prowess and was never able to become a ninja again.
Part I
Introduction Arc
At the series' start, playing on the youth's desire to graduate, Mizuki duped Naruto Uzumaki into stealing Konoha's Scroll of Seals for him. Originally, Mizuki had the plan set up to have Naruto as a scapegoat and kill him to hide the truth of his deception and secretly leave the village with the scroll in his possession. However, Mizuki's plan is derailed when Iruka found Naruto first and decided to reveal Naruto's identity as the Nine-Tails's jinchūriki to ensure he runs off disillusioned. However, overhearing Iruka standing up for him, Naruto comes to his teacher's aid and uses the Multiple Shadow Clone Technique he had learned from the scroll to beat Mizuki to a bloodied pulp for harming Iruka.
Mizuki Strikes Back Arc
In the manga, Mizuki claimed that he wanted the Scroll of Seals to gain infinite power for himself. However, the anime's filler arc showed that Mizuki intended to give the scroll to Orochimaru. Ending up at the Konoha Strict Correctional Facility after his defeat by Naruto, Mizuki bulked up by the time he stages a prison riot to escape from jail, intending to use the instructions given to him by Orochimaru to create a potion to increase his power and get his revenge on both Naruto and Iruka. Before that, he visited his lover, Tsubaki, who claimed that Mizuki used to be a sweet man, but that, ever since he got involved with Orochimaru, her relationship with Mizuki had faltered. Mizuki knocked out Tsubaki, whom he apparently did not love any more, and travelled to a cave where he could find the ingredients to the potion.
After consuming the potion, Mizuki obtained enhanced strength and power, stripes along his body, and enlarged arms. Later, as he added extract of a tiger into the potion, Mizuki assumed a tiger-like appearance but deceased his speed as Naruto managed to defeat him with the Rasengan. By that time, the flawed side effects of the Animal Curse Seal take effect with the defeated Mizuki reduced to a frail old man. Although his life was saved by Tsunade as she restored him to his original form, having no information on Orochimaru's whereabouts while being interrogated, Mizuki loses his ability to ninjutsu for what is later revealed to be have been a failed experiment of Orochimaru's.
Video Games
Mizuki is a playable character in the following video games:
Game name | Japanese release | English release |
Naruto: Clash of Ninja 2 | 4 December 2003 | 26 September 2006 |
Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 3 | 20 November 2004 | |
Naruto: Gekitō Ninja Taisen! 4 | 21 November 2005 | |
Naruto: Shinobi no Sato no Jintori Kassen | 26 June 2003 |
- Mizuki's name means "cornel", a variety of the dogwood shrub.
- According to the first databook:
- His favourite food is chirashizushi while his least favourite food is ramen.
- His favourite phrase is "Positive thinking" (ポジティブ・シンキング, pojitibu shinkingu).
- His dislike of ramen is likely a metaphor for his dislike of Naruto and Iruka.

Reviewer2133269发表于 Oct 12, 2013
This is an excellent product. No aftertaste & as sweet as described. I switched to this after NuNatural 's changed their formula, which used to be great & is now awful. I'm glad I switched. Now I have to hope that the bottle lasts as long.

Better Than NuNaturals!
3 个顾客认为以下的评论有帮助
tigerkiss发表于 Apr 02, 2012
Author, nutritionist, and raw foodist, Natalia Rose, put me onto stevia which I am thankful for, but she is either too set in her ways or is making money from recommending the NuNaturals to everyone as well as selling it on her website. It was a good brand, in terms of no nasty aftertaste, but I just never got a great feeling about it and felt to find an organic and more natural version. Thanks to my intuition and iherb's customer feedback, I made the change. This Now Foods one is by far the best and I totally recommend it! I will never return to NuNaturals or feel a need to try any others. This is it! x

sadly not as good as Nu stevia extract

Reviewer2681046发表于 Jul 09, 2013
I got this because the Nu stevia extract was out of stock. I appreciate many products from the Now Foods brand but this stevia is a bit bitter afterall. It's not as bad as the Sweet Leaf liquid stevia which makes everything you put it in taste inedible bitter-sweet, but I will not buy this again. It's very difficult business finding non-bitter stevia! here in Europe, almost impossible it seems...

Doesn't Seem Very Sweet

Reviewer2418106发表于 Sep 12, 2012
I don't think I will purchase this again. Even at 1.5 times the amount of the previous stevia extract powder I used, it is not very sweet. I think I will return to using my former brand once this is finished. Stevia, I found, is hit and miss. The level of service I received from iherb.com though is great on a positive note. The carrier lost the original shipment which iherb.com quickly replaced. Kudos to iherb.com!

Customer Raves & Reviews
Just what I wanted!
This magnet design was exactly what I was looking for to match my newborn's invite theme. The magnet was very easy to design using the Magnet Street website, and they arrived quickly. My only complaint is that the photo came out darker than the original image that I uploaded. I compared a 4x6 print of the same image and the magnet is definitely darker, not sure why...
easy to create and a gem to keep!
the magnet (birth announcement) was super easy to create and will be a treasured memento of the arrival of our daughter each day
Great product
I have used magnet street several times in the past and will continue to do so in the future. We love the products and the personalization availability is outstanding :)
Perfect Birth Announcement
We have used magnet street in the past for our save the dates and couldn't think of a better way to announce our baby's arrival! These magnets can be customized from the wording to the colors. I love that these are different from what everyone else does. My baby girl deserves the best and that's what we got!
On a side note...we got married 4 years ago and most of our friends still have our save the date magnets up. Now they can put my baby girl up too!
Quality Product - What You See Is What You Get
Because this was our birth announcement, I was very concerned with the quality and presentation of the product. The design came exactly as I had laid it out and in the time it said it would.
