Skip to comments.Does an NFA reg turns your residence into a search at will zone?
Posted on 12/27/2012 3:00:19 PM PST by kiryandil
Seeing that the CA Fascist thug from the US House of Lords, Dianne "Brownshirt" Feinstein. is threatening law-abiding US peasants with forced National Firearm Act registration of ALL semi-automatic weapons, the question arises:
Can the BATF search your house at will if you have an NFA registered weapon?
I have seen this answered in the affirmative elsewhere.
Basically, the Fascist thug old bat wants to get rid of the 4th Amendment for gun-owning peasants, as she knifes the Second Amendment in the back.
Why buy the stuff if you're not going to use the stuff, and if you'll hand it over to the first guy who asks for it? Why'd you spend the money????
Why do you ask?
Were you planning on registering something?
It won't pass anyway.
Let BO try some EO crap, and see how that works...
Do I look like the kind of guy who registers his Natural Rights?
Why do you ask?
People need to get their minds right before Boss Dianne finds her dirt in their holes...
"It wont pass anyway."
Plan as if it will. Too many times we heard the famous last words, "Oh, that will never happen."
Personally, I doubt this will come to anything, or survive its first Supreme Court test if does.
Non-starter, IMO.
An old relative in Norway (lived through the NAZI occupation) has his old .22 single-shot rifle registered with the government. Registration in Norway has been around forever - the first thing the Germans did was go to the town's courthouse and get the records of gun owners and take the guns and keep a watch on the owners.
My dad said he was amazed at the animals that relative's .22 has taken: ducks and geese, deer, and even some animals on an African Safari! ;)
I doubt they would take the case which would leave it to the States. Even if they did, I highly doubt even Roberts would rule that semi-autos (handguns included) to be unlawful.
I wouldn't worry about this. Obambi doesn't have the cojones to sign an EO outlawing semi's. He may be brazen enough to sign other EO's, but he won't attempt such a complete overthrow of our system. Yes, I know liberals and incrementalism, but this just won't happen.
I'm more in favor of local "I Ain't Registering My Semi-Autos; Whaddya Gonna Do About It?" peaceable assemblage parties with a hundred or two of your closest semi-auto owning friends & acquaintances at convenient public venues - designed to make the would-be enforcers pony up with an immediate answer.
Yes, it does.
(Elsewhere, I've already seen an instant parody of her statements, basically substituting "negroes" for gun references.)
"Sen. Dianne Feinstein unveiled a negro control proposal that would require federally approved licensing of all black and many mixed race Americans. Feinstein said her plan is intended to keep America safe from "black criminals, blacks with mental disabilities, and black children who will become criminals."
"Under her plan, black applicants for negro licenses would have to pay $25 and go to one of 100,000 federal police officers or to a state-certified office of negro affairs.
"The officer or state-approved official would then record the negroes personal information and license them with the Department of Health and Human Services. Applicants would be required to submit a thumb print, a photograph, their name, birthplace and address, and sign a statement swearing that the information is accurate.
"They would also have to pass a written literacy test that would pose questions about the law and the negroes legal responsibilities. The licenses would be renewable every five years and could be revoked.
"No negro or mixed race negro will be grandfathered, and if not licensed they must be turned in or be in criminal violation."
Sort of puts what she is proposing in context, doesn't it?
I agree 100%. That's why I didn't worry that they would pass ObamaCare over the objection of a majority of Americans. That's why even once ObamaCare passed, I trusted that the thugs in this administration would keep their promises on protecting decent Christians from being required to pay for abortion coverage. That's why I didn't worry once a clearly unconstitutional ObamaCare bill was hauled in front of Chief Justice Roberts. I knew exactly what the Constitution said, so I had no worries - Obama and Pelosi getting spanked was inevitable, wasn't it? That's why I have never worried that wedding photographers, wedding cake bakers, destination wedding bed and breakfast venue owners, and others with religious objections would never be compelled to work against their will in celebrations that offend their fundamental beliefs. This is America, a free country. That sort of thing does not happen here.
Sad but true - well said.
Back when I was into hobby rocketry a lot of the guys needed BATF "Low explosive user permit"s to store rocket motors over a certain size.
They had to agree to give up their rights in order to get said permit...BATF could search their homes and/or storage magazines at will.
I simply never went that big and that was one of the reasons.
(As an aside, Sen. Enzi of Wyoming nearly got a bill passed to get the BATF off the hobby rocketeers asses but our pal Chuckie Schumer went on the Senate floor waving around a big cardboard rocket and proceeded to rail about how we had no business doing such things, that prick bastard)
I predict the next run is on boats.
I think that the law reads that you can be required to provide your NFA weapons be available for inspection from time to time. They cannot just show up at your door and demand entrance and inspection. They must give you reasonable advance notice and may inspect ONLY the NFA items on their list. They may not inspect your other firearms nor are they allowed to snoop around.
"There are going to be a lot of unfortunate boating accidents. "
Don't I know it! I was practicing a George Washington Delaware thing out in the back yard where's there's a 3 foot wide creek. Suddenly there's this Tsunami thing and all the hardware got swept away.
Funny how those bastards think they know what everybody else needs.
That sort of thing does not happen here when firearms purchasess - on both sides of he aisle and in all populations with respect to political persuasion - are at an all time high, and have been hitting record levels, both among Republicans and Democrats - for several years.
But, yes, it's just an opinion; time will tell.
Diane Fienstien is a full fledged NAZI.
I'd wager a large sum her husband is gonna make millions
on the sudden demand and double to triple price increases on AK and SKSs he imports before they start the legislative process. The two probably had this all planned as one last raping of Americans before the treasonist bitch retires!
I assume Americans are not paying $40-$60 each for 30-round AR-15 magazines, and $1,500-$2,000 each for black rifles because they want to sell them "back" to Nancy Pelosi for $5 each on the magazines and $500 each on the rifles (involuntarily trading our own property for token amounts of our own money!). I just hoped that the far left fringe would back off in time to avoid another civil war. I don't expect a just ruling through the Constitution and the Supreme Court. The only resolution for this conflict is through the ultimate source of government power - the people. Watering the Tree of Liberty is sometimes necessary but always ugly.
"The Designed Death to the American Dream"

Well, if the answer is yes, then why would you register them? Just don't register, and they have no right to search your home, so they can't confiscate your weapons.
The "Boating accident" answer is cute, but it is what THEY want you to say, and it will get you locked up just like Martha Stewart.
If questioned about ANYTHING, ask if they are conducting an investigation, and if so, you will answer NOTHING without your attorney. Any other answer will only be Hillery's favorite answer during Whitewqter (256 times!) I do not recall or I do not remember. Nothing else!
It's no secret that Feinstein and her financier husband Richard Blum have close ties to Red China. Some of their wealth comes from Red China.
And there's this from 2001,
Chinese pilot Wang Wei twice "buzzed" the U.S. EP-3 Aries II plane over international waters, flying directly for the EP-3 Aries II, the F-8 hit the propeller of the U.S. plane's No. 1 engine causing the crash of the Chinese F-8.
I was angered that Ms Feinstein expressed her feelings "on behalf of the American people." I informed her in an angry letter that she did not speak for me. Her staff's reply was a copy of their publicity release claiming that she "did not apologize for the incident" and blamed confusion about her statements she made on "Crossfire;" she was expressing "sorrow that the Chinese pilot lost his life."
Best if the Americans apologise now - soon the Chinese could rule the US (2001)
"Dianne Feinstein, the senior senator from California, was unusual in rushing to apologise for the EP-3 incident."
(This article was not the source I was reacting to back then.)
Yes, clearly feelings are running strong just now. Whether things go one way or the other way is anyone's guess.
What I am saying - personally - is that I believe that ultimately cooler heads will prevail, and no new (and invariably both misdirected and useless) legislation will be enacted.
"Well, if the answer is yes, then why would you register them? "
Violations are felonies. Failure to obey makes you a felon, with all the associated [non]privileges.
This is the 'catch' in many of these proposed laws.
Damned if you do, and Damned to Hell if you do not.
That does not mean I will.
Hmmm. Maybe the new third political party will be The Felons.
How did that line from the intro go?
"An objective observer might at this point have said, "Stripping motivated people of their dignity and rubbing their noses in it is a very bad idea."
A very bad idea indeed.
Yes, I know it's a continuing FR joke for the humor-impaired, but do you think that telling the Brownshirt thugs that you lost your firearms is going to keep them off your back?
You and others had better come around to the realization that what is forthcoming is not going to be fun and games.
Don't be a dope. And kindly don't assume I'm a dope too, K? Get a grin. They're hard to come by.
First they came for the smokers, and most shrugged their shoulders.........
"Personally, I doubt this will come to anything, or survive its first Supreme Court test if does."
Do you really trust John Roberts? Just consider it a tax
and you can do as you will. As far as EO's go, so what who's
going to do anything about it anyway.
You are correct and mistaken at the same time. Constitutionally they have no right. Emergency EOs (illegally) give them that right. They were busting in doors in NO during Katrina, knocking people down and taking their weapons.
You want to talk rights? Might makes right. And contrary to what most FReepers seem to think, 80% of the grunts in the military *will* obey orders to kick your door in and search your house. And any half assed claims of boating accidents, Constitutional rights or any other BS will be answered with a boot on your neck at the minimum. More likely, if you don't get shot you will get your teeth kicked in.
These are very bad people and they are coming after you. These are facts. Just because we are not yet seeing mass internments, people disappearing from their homes in the middle of the night and (even) death squads is no proof they aren't coming. Read some of the fascist garbage being bandied about by DHS et al. They are not being very subtle about their intentions. In the near future this country will be more like Argentina, Valenzuela or any one of a number of third world countries. These people are no different than Heinrich Himmler, Reinhard Heydrich and the rest of the fascist perverts running the Third Reich. More than a few are looking forward with pleasure to committing atrocities against conservatives. Think there was "torture" at GITMO? That's nothing compared to what is coming to the conservative dissenters in this country.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
Rebellion to tyranny is obedience to God.
- Thomas Jefferson
"Resistance to tyranny becomes the Christian and social duty of each individual. ... Continue steadfast and, with a proper sense of your dependence on God, nobly defend those rights which heaven gave, and no man ought to take from us."
- John Hancock
"Civil disobedience is the assertion of a right which law should give but which it denies."
"Civil disobedience becomes a sacred duty when the State becomes lawless corrupt."
- Mahatma Gandhi
Those guys have all said it better than I can.
Valenzuela = Venezuela
Sometimes spell check likes to have a laugh at our expense....
I don't disagree with much that you say, except that I think it will be a much rougher road for them than they think. For example:
"More than a few are looking forward with pleasure to committing atrocities against conservatives."
More than a few citizens are looking forward to slitting some petty tyrants' throats as well, if the time comes. They won't find the American people to be as sheepish as some suppose.
Okay, so we don't give up our guns willingly. I won't. But then they make it illegal to bring an unregistered gun to a range. Illegal to transfer an unregistered weapon to anyone including relatives. Illegal to buy more than 20 rounds of ammunition at a time. Illegal to possess reloading supplies without permits requiring picture ID and fingerprinting. Illegal to do just about anything we enjoy now. And the sad part is the Obama "low comprehension" voters will support every step they take. I don't know the answer but it sure seems like they can whittle us down with small steps over time regardless of what we do.
Likewise. United we stand, divided we fall. And BATF won't be getting any help or backup from any Sheriffs or Police out here in West Texas.
"conducting an investigation",,,,,
Badge Man with questions,,,
is there a difference?
We all are going to need LAWYERS ,
wait,,,may be not.
Re your post 36. I am not a dope. I am just very, very weary of the stupid, unfunny, and hackneyed talk about the guns and the boats. It's been overworked. It may have been mildly humorous in 1999 but it's not now. One would think that Freepers would be tired of it by now but I would think wrong.
When I posted the remarks to you I did it with a little trepidation since I recognized your screen name and did not think that you would be among those who thought the lost-all-my-guns-in-a-TRAGIC-accident "joke" was a belly laugh, but I went ahead anyway. Sorry.
Believe it or not but the OldPossum does have a sense of humor. It's just that old jokes wear thin.
I have been interested in reading it but it seems to be priced ridiculously high.
And I hear gun magazines are all sold out.
I'm not sure how the feds can enforce this if the states don't go along. Sort of like federal anti-marijuana laws in WA and CO.

Oil Paintings And The Considerations That You Have To Make
Creating a spark inside your home or office is relatively easy to achieve especially when you have some reproduced oil paintings latched or installed in your walls. With ornate images produced from oil-based paints and created from the artistic hands of professional painters, such wall art is no doubt very effective in bringing some positive feeling as well as some alluring factor to the different places where such art products will be place or instilled.
Aside from giving some additional stunning features, oil paintings are also easy to find since almost all painting and art stores offer such specific wall art products. In a more general aspect, there are a bunch of offerings and advantages that can be incorporated in buying oil paintings. This is what makes such wall art popular in the eyes of the many. If you are also interested to have your paintings created from oil-based coloring materials, you can do some ordering without having some big hinders that can block your way or decision.
But even with such easiness, there are still some important considerations that you have to undergo and remember when ordering reproduced oil paintings. By simply complying in these given contemplations, you can surely secure yourself and your place a beautiful and elegant looking wall art.
The first thing that you should look to consider is the style or process in creating the oil paintings that you have readily chosen. Typically, there are different ways to produce or create such wall art. Most of the time, the best materials or items to choose under this particular matter are those hand-made oil paintings for they give a different yet natural and original look compared from others. However, because of the technological advancement that the world has today, printed canvases which can produce more or less the same outcome like oil paintings are now also going large in the market. Since both processes can produce artistic-looking wall decorations, it is only essential that you thoroughly think and decided which is suited or fit in your style and needs.
The store or supplier that you will contact in order to purchase some oil paintings is also an important factor that needs thorough consideration. Though most stores that sell such specific wall art mostly have the same promotions and offerings, it is still vital that you choose those that have features that will not only bring some sure and alluring benefits but also some shipping advantages as well. That way, you won't have to spend more of your money just to secure that your ordered paintings will arrive to your home safe and soundly.

Those who tout Cancun must explain why what has not been achieved in 13 years can be achieved in the next year.privy to the private briefings of the U.S. administration — see any realistic prospect of a deal anytime soon. Looking toward next year's international climate talks in Durban, South Africa, Eliot Diringer, of the well-connected Pew Center on Global Climate Change, said, "We don't think South Africa is practical. We don't think the politics will be ready. If we set Durban as a deadline, we will have Copenhagen all over again."
Some spoke of the power of 'green growth' to do what the United Nations cannot.force next month. Of course, pledges do not necessarily become reality. And there are real concerns about China's reporting regimes for both its carbon emissions and its GDP, which could make verification tricky. But it is clear that China is now acting to reduce its emissions, even though it has no Kyoto targets and won't accept any in the foreseeable future. And it is the world's largest producer of wind turbines and solar panels and so has a clear interest in developing local markets for these products.
If Plan B takes flight, the time may come when the UN's best contribution would be to get out of the way.nation." That sounds overly ambitious. It is based on switching to hydroelectric power generation (something the country's neighbors on the Nile might have something to say about) and on following Brazil's lead by turning its eroding soils into carbon sinks. But it shows how developing nations have gotten the message that green economics and low-carbon development are not the fanciful visions of Western environmentalists, but real practical options for them.

The Government

Ed Harper Simcoe Centre, ON
Mr. Speaker, Brian Mulroney may be gone but his legacy of damn the voters lives on in the Liberal government. Patronage, arrogance and the appearance of corruption were all hallmarks of Mulroney's regime and the same can be said for the members opposite.
I thought I would never see it but the government's refusal to have the heritage minister resign surpasses even the Mulroney Tories in shoddy ethical standards.
Of most concern to me is the government's suppression of public opinion. The Liberals came to power on a mandate for change but nothing has. Ontario called out for change two weeks ago but the federal Liberals responded with threats to the dissenters. Unbelievably the heritage minister is defended while those who stand on principle are scorned.
It is truly a shame but the old saying about safety in numbers obviously does not apply to Ontario's voice in Ottawa.

Pauline Picard Drummond, QC
Mr. Speaker, the issue of BST was raised repeatedly by the official opposition but the government never confirmed that it would respect the citizens' right to eat products unaltered by synthetic hormones.
Without even a debate on the use of biotechnology in food production, the government is presenting consumers with a fait accompli. As a matter of fact, Health Canada has already authorized the marketing of experimental milk produced with somatotropin imported from the U.S.
It is not the interests of consumers that the government is looking after, but the economic interests of pharmaceutical companies such as Monsanto, which is lobbying Health Canada like never before.
The government must stop dragging its heels and extend the moratorium on somatotropin so that the interests of consumers will be protected in the future.

Mr. Speaker, the government continues its initiative to halt the trade in endangered species under the convention on international trade in endangered species.
Training workshops for federal and provincial enforcement staff are ongoing. Airport photo displays advising travellers not to purchase endangered species and products are currently being installed at five major airports in western Canada. Negotiations for formal agreements to implement the government's new wildlife trade act, WAPPRIITA, the wild animal and plant protection and regulation of international and interprovincial trade act, are well under way in three of the four provincial and territorial jurisdictions in western and northern Canada.
A number of prosecutions and seizures under current endangered species legislation have also occurred in western Canada recently with substantial penalties levied.
Nationally a video was recently produced for use on international airline flights and new posters discouraging the purchase of endangered wildlife products are being distributed to airlines-

Larry McCormick Hastings—Frontenac—Lennox And Addington, ON
Mr. Speaker, July 1 is a special time for all Canadians wherever they live to participate in festivities that bring us together in an expression of pride in Canada and in being Canadian.
This July 1 Canadians can also celebrate the 30th anniversary of our national flag. The flag represents our values, reflected in the way we treat each other and in the regard we have for our global neighbours.
Canadians value individualism and industry. We also work hard together to ensure the welfare of our fellow human beings. Our values are evident in the dedication, discipline, tenacity and humanitarianism of our peacekeepers abroad. We have been known to be a compassionate, tolerant and rather unflamboyant nation but we stand firm when fair play is at stake. These values have made our society safe and full of opportunity.
Our Canadian flag has earned the recognition, respect and admiration of many nations. I wish all Canadians a joyous Canada Day and invite them to be generous in spirit with family, friends and neighbours.

Mr. Knowles was first elected to the House of Commons in a byelection on November 30, 1942. In his more than 50 years of political life he has served as a member of Parliament and as a vice-president of the Canadian Labour Congress. He has received the Order of Canada and is a member of the Queen's Privy Council of Canada.
In 1984 a motion supported by all members of this House appointed Mr. Knowles the unprecedented status of honorary officer of the House of Commons, a post which he continues to fulfil.
His work in Parliament, especially on behalf of pensioners and veterans, and his many contributions to political life are appreciated by us all.
On a personal note, whenever I have spoken to Mr. Knowles about political life and the role of politicians, he has one word of advice, which I think applies to us all: "If we are not here for the people, we should not be here". Mr. Knowles has always been here for the people.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, while everyone is celebrating the release of the hostages in Bosnia, the Muslim and Croat offensive against Bosnian Serb positions continues, in an attempt to lift the siege of Sarajevo. The fighting goes on, despite a warning from the G-7 countries Thursday evening, and a solemn appeal for a ceasefire from the UN special envoy.
My question is directed to the Minister of Foreign Affairs. As we speak, some 700 Canadian soldiers are still confined to their camp in Visoko. Would the minister agree that in Halifax, the G-7 countries failed to reach agreement on a specific solution to put an end to the conflict in Bosnia?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
André Ouellet Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, clearly, the Bosnian crisis which has been going on for several years could not be settled in a matter of hours at the Halifax summit. I am sure the Leader of the Opposition realizes that.
However, summit participants have reiterated their confidence in the diplomatic process as opposed to a military solution. They renewed their unconditional support for the peace plan proposed by the contact group and, more specifically, gave a very clear mandate to Mr. Bildt and Mr. Stoltenberg to continue their efforts to bring all parties towards a lasting peace in the former Yugoslavia.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I want to ask the minister whether the Canadian government and its allies intend to take up the offer of the Bosnian president, who says he is prepared to interrupt the current offensive, provided all heavy artillery is pulled back 20 kilometres away from Sarajevo and access roads are again opened to humanitarian convoys.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
André Ouellet Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, this proposal is of course a positive sign. Unfortunately, to be effective, all parties involved in the conflict must agree, not just the Bosnian government but also the Bosnian Serbs. In this connection, summit participants asked Mr. Yeltsin to use all his influence to intervene with the Serb authorities so that an agreement can be reached that will involve all parties involved in the conflict.
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Lucien Bouchard Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, we know that the Americans have refused to contribute financially to the rapid reaction force. That being the case, does the minister believe it might be necessary to drop the idea altogether?
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
André Ouellet Minister of Foreign Affairs
Mr. Speaker, I want to be clear on this. The Americans have not indicated that they were in a position to be a rapid reaction force.
The financial implications of it will have to be discussed at a later date. There was some urgency to pass the resolution at the United Nations and in order to ensure that the resolution would be passed it was decided to postpone the financial implications to a later date.
The Americans, although they have not indicated that they would be participating, have not ruled out the possibility of financing part of it as they have done in the past.

Hi, I have compared the GM to Caputo, San Felice and Bay States Contadina head to head on the same day. It doesn't come close to any of them. They need to go back to the drawing board on this one. Extensibility is nonexistent, oven pop is minimal. The crust browns nicely and holds well in the center of the pie but lacks the sweetness and nuttiness of the others. The texture is also more dense than the others.
I was very impressed with this flour! Here are some pizzas I did with it yesterday.
thanks norma, i saw and read your testing the same flour i think it is the best effort yet to give us high temperature flour, i have to commit to 50 bags for my distributor to carry it. i'm going to use my last bag before i commit to it. that last shot got in by mistake it was a house we did a party at it was amazing!!!

I got some great responses for my first topic, so I'm hoping lightning strikes twice here.
I recently got a pound of Sencha Fuka-midori from Den's, and it came with a sample of a tea I'd never heard of called 'mecha'. The sencha is underwhelming me, since it's very vegetal but not bitter enough for my palette. The mecha on the other hand seemed to have that very vegetal/bitter combo I'm looking for. It was also priced in the same area as the sencha, so I'm thinking of getting a pound of it for my next order. My question is whether I'd be ordering an inferior tea (lacking the caffeine, theanine and other good stuff that gives a proper tea high). I can't find much info on mecha besides Wikipedia, and I'd rather not rely on them. Is mecha worth a shot, or would this be a green tea newbie mistake?
Here's a link to Den's page for the tea:

Who do you think the most prolific musicians are? The music business has changed so much over the past couple of decades. In the '60s and '70s, it wasn't uncommon for artists to put out a new album or even two new albums every year. Granted, most albums are longer now than they were then, but I think artists were able to put out more work then because labels didn't have such strict schedules when it came to marketing each record. etc. (Hence the reason Prince wanted out of his Warner Brothers contract several years ago)
Here are some artists I think are still very prolific:
Macca - Not at the same pace he was in the '70s, but with all of his side projects he stays very busy.
Van Morrison - He still seems to release a new album every year
Elvis Costello - Ditto
Neil Young
Elton John (Although he's slowed down a bit recently)
Beck (Unfortunately I think Geffen has slowed him down a bit because he used to release a lot more records on independent labels in addition to his "mainstream" records on Geffen)
Granted, being prolific doesn't always mean the quality is going to match, but I'm still amazed at the work ethic many of the above artists have. I don't see many younger bands working that hard.

Osteoporosis the Truth About Calcium
Yes, calcium is critical to bone health. But has our fervor to boost bones with calcium caused us to miss the bigger picture? Respected health writer Karolyn A. Gazella explains that calcium is just one piece of the puzzle— often a small piece. "For decades, we've been overlooking other important nutrients such as magnesium, vitamin D, and vitamin K," explains Gazella. Research shows us that key nutrients can help many women avoid dangerous drugs. Women who have been diagnosed with osteoporosis, have low bone density (osteopenia), or are at high risk of developing this condition, can strengthen bones through this comprehensive plan that includes diet, dietary supplements, and exercise.

text: Seychelles The Seychelles are an archipelago in the Indian Ocean, northeast of Madagascar. The Seychelles Archipelago occupies 400,000 sq km (150,000 sq miles) of the Indian Ocean northeast of Madagascar and contains 115 islands and islets. The largest island in either group is Mahé, lying 4°S of the equator. It is 27km (17 miles) long by 8km (5 miles) wide and contains Victoria, the capital and main port, and 90% of the population. Mahé is typical of the Granitic Islands, being mountainous and covered with jungle vegetation. The Seychellois are descended from a mixture of French and British landowners, freed African slaves and a small number of Chinese and Indian immigrants, creating a unique culture.The climate is tropical marine and often humid. The Seychelles do have a cooler season during southeast monsoon (late May to September) and a warmer season during northwest monsoon (March to May). The Seychelles do not lie in the cyclone belt. Creole, English and French are all spoken in the Seychelles.

About the Author: Atul Keshap is the Director of the Office of India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Maldives in the Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs.Editor's Note: Atul Keshap visited India in early December. This blog entry is the fourth and final post in a series of his reflections on his trip.
Most people in the United States are familiar with India's great accomplishments in the fields of technology and business. During my travels to India, however, I am also continually impressed by the social entrepreneurship I witness at the grassroots level. My visit to the Naandi Foundation's Academic Support Center gave me the opportunity to see firsthand the innovative methods that one non-governmental organization is using to tackle poverty by confronting education inequality in India.
The Naandi Foundation seeks to bridge the gap between expensive private schools and underperforming government schools by offering after-school programs at 2000 government schools in India (900 in the state of Andhra Pradesh and 470 in the city of Hyderabad alone). The "Ensuring Children Learn" initiative provides children from low-income families quality education that they do not receive in the government schools.
The students attending the Naandi Foundation's after-school programs are first-generation learners. Their parents are often illiterate, and the after-school program is the only opportunity most children get to engage in an interactive, creative learning environment. The program managers hope that their students will become literate in their native language of Urdu and respect education so that they encourage their own children to stay in school. The Naandi Foundation's objective is to effect long-term, lasting change, even if it takes three generations to achieve their goals.
In speaking to the managers of the program, I could see their passion for education. They spoke of the challenges of working with the Indian government at state and national level, and of changing the attitudes of parents who do not always value education. I was shocked to learn that in most Telugu or Urdu government schools, a majority of the female students discontinue their studies between the ages of nine and twelve. Around the time girls begin menstruating, they are often discouraged from attending school and forced to work at home or work as a maid outside the home. Despite this, the young, energetic managers and teachers engaged the students daily, fostering their desire to learn more and hoping to keep them in school.
When I arrived at the school, the students greeted me warmly and one girl presented me with a colorful drawing. The classroom walls were covered with the students' drawings, and the children sat on the floor in groups of four to practice math with fake money and number games.
The innovative methods employed by the leaders of the Naandi Foundation have been recognized and adopted by the government schools. One program manager told me that the Naandi Foundation introduced workbooks to the students to encourage a more interactive learning experience. According to the program manager, the practice was so successful that many government schools, which usually rely on only textbooks, adopted this practice. Widespread poverty cannot be solved quickly or easily, but people like those I met from the Naandi Foundation are truly inspiring. This is where change begins -- with individuals who effect change on a small scale and work tirelessly to pursue the values of democracy and equality.

Not really. Say two people have the same oven however one has a 1/2" steel plate and the other has a screen (or even a run of the mill pizza stone). They effectively have very different ovens and may benefit from different recipes even if they are after the same style. You need to consider the entire baking kit as one discrete element in the analysis. You can't look at the oven in isolation from the in-oven equipment any more than you can look at the dough in isolation from the oven. Dough and oven are part and parcel.
Dough and oven are part and parcel.
Actually Craig, if you wouldn't mind, could you help in expanding the scope of ways to search the database?
What does this mean?EDIT: I guess you are trying to say that if you make a dough that is traditionally baked in a specific oven, it must be baked in that oven?
In my replies above, I was suggesting that you contract the scope - not expand it. Again, just my $0.02, but I don't see how it makes sense to do (at first anyway) anything beyond #1 and #2 in Derrick's post (reply #23) above. You might include same day and overnight formulas for each combination (sort of a limited Derrick #3). I don't see the people who will use this tool needing any more than that. Even limited to this extent, you are talking about a pretty large number of combinations. Building the framework is one thing. Finding the recipes to populate it is quite another. Please don't take this the wrong way, but I will be very (pleasantly) surprised if this actually gets built even with a scope much smaller than you have discussed to this point.
No, it doesn't mean that at all. It means exactly what it says. You can't look at either in isolation with a specific goal in mind. For example, if you are going to make NP in a WFO, you probably don't add sugar to the dough. If you are going to make a NP approximation in a home oven you probably do though the the type of stone/steel, broiler wattage, etc. will play a role in the decision.
Sorry. I already began to take it the wrong way. I even take "I will be very (pleasantly) surprised if this actually gets built" as somewhat of an insult, as if I have disappointed you before.If you can be a strong critic of the project, in ways that will improve it, I welcome your comments to the max, which I hope I am doing so. If you would like to kill the project, please say so and I will drop it.
Fidel, while I applaud your desire to create something that simplifies the process for the home baker, I'm not sure that what you're describing will work for this forum.
The dough calculator works and is highly effective because it's cold hard number crunching. When you get into recipe selection and tweaking, you're entering into a subjective territory, and this forum has a multitude of opinions on just about every subject.
If you're developing a tool with the intent of representing the forum as a whole, all the opinions should be represented- and I don't see how you're going to achieve this. Even something as seemingly simple as style classification isn't as straightforward as you might expect it to be. While I think most of the forum agrees that Neapolitan pizza should be baked in 90 seconds or less, we get plenty of Kenji and Reinhart acolytes that feel differently. Is your tool going to tell them that they're incorrect?
Don't get me wrong- I would love to see something official that corrects these warped views of Neapolitan pizza bake times, but... that happens to be an instance where the majority of the forum is correct. There are other areas with far less clear cut majorities. .1 thickness factor is NOT NY style- many members subscribe to this concept- and many don't. As you move into subjective areas (and there are countless), you're opening up a can of worms as you try to represent the multitude of opinions. Craig's rating system might go a ways in weeding good recipes from bad, but would you use a rating system to define style criteria, and should you?
And that's just the opinion side. On the science side, there's gaps of information. You're acting like a lot of the science of dough is understood and that variables can easily be accounted for.
For instance, as much as the directions of cake mixes would have you believe, there is no one size fits all correction for elevation. It took Chau and Bill a considerable amount of trial and error to compensate for their elevation, and I think they understand it better than most, but I'm pretty sure they'd be the last people to give you a one size fits all equation.
Hard and soft water is even a less understood area- and an area, that imo, probably isn't even that important.
I don't think, in the general scheme of things, humidity ranks that much either- nor, like water hardness, are the effects of humidity that well understood.
Even a hugely important variable such as oven setup- a variable that this forum has poured over countless hours attempting to master every possible configuration iteration- there's still gaps here. There's materials and configurations that have yet to be tested- there's successes that need to be replicated consistently. For instance, countless home oven owners have gas ovens that don't exceed 500 and don't have a broiler in the main compartment. Right now, the only proven option these people have is American Style. Great Neo-NY in this kind of oven, right now, is just a theory.
Lastly, as Craig pointed out, there's oven configurations that introduce a myriad number of variables. You've got one person with 1/4" steel, another with 1/2", one with cordierite, one with a different brand of cordierite with different properties. The oven setup permutations can be massive. When you start adding in other variables, such as flour protein content, the permutations can go through the roof.
If you want to come up with your own dough recipe calculator, using your own opinions of what constitutes each style and your own opinion of how to best achieve them with commonly found equipment and ingredients...
...but if you're trying to represent the forum as a whole, I think you're biting off more than you can chew.
It was not an insult, and it was not intended to be a reflection on what I think you are or are not capable of. To be clear, my comment was not that I didn't think you could do it. From a IT-technical standpoint, it sounds like you are more than capable. If anything, it is a reflection on what I know about myself - not you.My gut feeling is that you don't yet even begin to realize the actual scope and complexity of the project you are suggesting. Even if you limit the scope significantly from what you've discussed, it is still an immense amount of work, and in my experience, enthusiasm for elective projects like this wanes as the true nature of the scope becomes clear. This project is also going to require a large amount of help from other people where you dont have the necessary experience. And thats not a criticism of you. None of us has the experience do it on our own. Maybe as a first step, build a beta version that only includes the style you know best. Let people give you feedback on it. This should tell you a lot about what it is going to take to expand it beyond the first style.I would never tell you to drop it. For all I know, the fun of building it may make it worthwhile for you even if nobody else was ever to use it. I would however encourage you to really think hard about the elements I have discussed and those Scott discussed and the literally dozens more that have not even come up yet - think about the 100's if not 1000's of combinations you will end up with and what the means in terms of sourcing data. There are 250,000+ posts here and no good way to search them other than putting on the reading glasses. Think about the things you don't know and how you plan to evaluate the suitability of recipes in that context.
My gut feeling is that you don't yet even begin to realize the actual scope and complexity of the project you are suggesting. Even if you limit the scope significantly from what you've discussed, it is still an immense amount of work, and in my experience, enthusiasm for elective projects like this wanes as the true nature of the scope becomes clear.
This project is also going to require a large amount of help from other people where you dont have the necessary experience. And thats not a criticism of you. None of us has the experience do it on our own. Maybe as a first step, build a beta version that only includes the style you know best. Let people give you feedback on it. This should tell you a lot about what it is going to take to expand it beyond the first style.

someone comes to the forums for help. A baseline is established.
Dough and oven are part and parcel.
Feliz,If the end point of the exercise is a recipe, then you might want to first identify all of the recipes and then work backwards. What I think you will find is that there are literally hundreds of recipes on the forum. And most of them will not be written "cookbook style" and where everything is fully contained in a single place or post. Many of the recipes will have evolved over a long period of time, over possibly many pages of disconnected posts, but yet not reduced to a final recipe with all of the relevant details. We have a substantial number of members who join the forum just to find recipes. That is all. They have to join to do searches or ask for recipes, so they join. But when they feel they have found what they want, they leave, and usually return only to find another recipe. But they don't just want any recipe. They want a recipe that is written cookbook style with everything they need in one place. A good example of a thread that does that is the Papa John's clone thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6758.0.html. For an example within that thread, see Reply 2 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,6758.msg58197.html#msg58197. I cite this thread for two reasons. First, it is number 8 on the forum in terms of page views, with almost 144,000 page views. Secondly, most of those page views were due to people looking only for the recipes. You will note in this regard that this has occurred with very little posting activity once the recipes were completed and posted. The Tom Lehmann NY style thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,576.0.html is also one with a lot of self contained recipes but with little current posting activity. That thread is the most viewed thread on the forum. From time to time, I have tried to create collections of different kinds of pizzas and recipes to assist our members, both new and old. From the photo standpoint, see Reply 5 at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,7799.msg67003.html#msg67003. From time to time I update this thread with new links to more photos but I just don't have enough time to do it on a regular basis. I also created collections of recipes at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,8297.0.html and at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,11860.0.html. They are also periodically updated as the spirit moves me. What is most notable to me about these collections is the relatively small number of page views, especially after three or four years. That tells that members who discover those collections are unwilling to go much beyond scanning the entries in those threads. The recipes don't go far enough. They are scattered all over the place and not reduced to single recipes with all of the relevant details. As I see it, if you cannot identify all of the relevant recipes up front, the rest of the project becomes very difficult. I think you will also discover that members who were responsible for the best recipes that are identified, even those who are still with the forum, may be unable or unwilling to put them in a form that is most useful to others. In many of the cases, the authors of the best recipes are no longer on the forum.In the past, we have had other members suggest that the best recipes be collected in some fashion. And in many cases, the suggestions were good ones. But the first question I asked in each such instance is "Who is going to do all of the work needed to do that?" That question always goes unanswered. Peter
So, what does the above mean?
1-4 I can have functioning and running by breakfast Friday. It is NOT an immense amount of work.
This is not about ovens, oven prep, wood use, wood type, placement, timing, etc
It seems as though you don't want anyone to find these recipes, much less in an efficient way.
Fidel, I hope you go ahead with this project. What ever you produce can be fine tuned after members give it a look. In reply 40 Peter said that major forum changes must be approved by Steve, and I certainly agree with that. I see this as a tool made available, not a forum change, but of course it's up to Steve.I already make a great pizza, and it's great because my family says so. That's who I bake for. I am in awe at what I see here by other members. I probably won't get to that point, but I enjoy trying different recipes, and your project may make them readily available. I'd like that.Marty
Still means the same thing as when I answered up in response #29 above.
The single most common pitfall that the beginning pizzamaker falls into is believing that if they just get the right recipe, all will be well. For the two most popular styles on the forum, NY and Neapolitan, bake time is at least 80% of the equation. In your first post you referenced 'equipment and oven requirements' so I mistakenly assumed you were taking an oven-aware approach and, in turn, trying to tackle the massive amount of complexity involved with oven configurations. Putting the most popular recipes in a database in an oven-unaware context would certainly be considerably easier, but it doesn't do the beginning pizzamaker much of a service, as it only tends to reinforce their misguided 'recipe holy grail' consciousness.How many copies of American Pie did Reinhart sell? While there's plenty of bad pizza recipes on the internet, there's also plenty of them that come close to the recipes on the forum. By the time people make it to this forum, they've tried at least one viable recipe. The problem isn't that they've never had access to the right formula, it's that Reinhart and Alton Brown never took the time to explain to them the connection between fast bake times and great pizza.In all my time here, I've never come across a single member who didn't, after grasping the concept of the importance of bake time, easily pick up a solid style specific recipe to go along with their oven setup.


text: I feel like I've seen a lot of bread pudding recipes lately and it got me in the mood to make one myself. I've never made one before and I've had some not so great versions, so I was a little hesitant. But, when I found a recipe that called for these:

Today's pour:
2013 Spring Wenshan Baozhong tea. This tea is the leftover from the the World Origin Tasting Tour brought to the expo by Thomas Shu. It's a high quality baozhong (包種), dry leaves are bright and green with no excess stems, wonderfully fragrant. I pour it today on intuition and follow the tea; it easily stretches 8 rounds before I settle to other tasks. The liquor is a rich golden color for so light a tea. The flavor is rich, a balsam/vegetal tinged sweetness with soft/subtle cream/nutty undertones, carried over with delicate floral high notes, a truly wonderful tea experience.
I pour 8 grams of bright leaf in a 150 ml Taiwan stone xishi teapot, with 93 deg. C filtered water, and Lin's glazed cups. Each round the smell cups stay fragrant and sweet.
I'm going to have to order more.

Skip to comments.GOP Consultants Seek to Regain Control (From Tea Party, Conservatives)
Posted on 12/19/2012 4:56:58 PM PST by kristinn
The internal battle for the direction of the Republican Party has enveloped Washingtons GOP consultant class, as pragmatic party strategists hired to win campaigns ponder how to reclaim control of the primary process from powerful conservative activist groups.
This developing conflict comes in the aftermath of consecutive election cycles that saw Republicans blow as many as five Senate races because the party nominated flawed candidates over those who were better suited to compete in the general election.
Some of these losing 2010 and 2012 nominees received crucial support from Washington-based tea party groups that made their primary campaigns viable. GOP consultants who found themselves on the losing end are considering the formation of outside groups of their own to counter these organizations and boost their favored candidates in the 2014 primaries.
The bigger the office, the brighter the spotlight, and it is difficult, if not impossible, to elect a lousy candidate over a good candidate in any [general election] Senate race, regardless of ideology, said a Republican strategist who is frustrated with the hold that conservative groups like the Club for Growth, FreedomWorks and the Senate Conservatives Fund have had on the GOP primary process in recent elections.
Unlike these tea-party-affiliated groups, this Republican strategist and others who think similarly (prioritizing winning over ideological purity) argue that a Republican will always be more conservative than a Democrat and the partys objective should be to control the White House and Congress so it can set the governing agenda and prevent Democrats from enacting laws like the Affordable Care Act.
In quiet postmortem sessions, these strategists are exploring ways to influence primaries and curb the power of the tea party groups.
(Excerpt) Read more at rollcall.com ...
Moderate pubbies like Romney win . . .
The "GOP consultants" can guarantee the GOP that they'll continue to lose these popularity contests every four years if they only listen to them. Can the conservative or TEA Party do that?! Heck no.
Like the last campaign they won?
Without names your article isn't worth a damn.
Don't forget Juan McCain.
Look how great the GOP did in California once the "moderate" GOP consultants took over the party establishment there. Maybe they can do the same thing across the entire nation!
"pragmatic party strategists "
Translation: liars, thieves, opportunists, and commies.
"a Republican will always be more conservative than a Democrat "
Nope. The NE Republicans are scarcely more conservative than Britain's Labour party.
Unfortunately, it appears they are winning.
Most of the new conservative house members 2010 class will join
Bonehead and Cantor in voting for taxes tomorrow.
We keep sending them, and DC keeps turning them.
It's hard to believe that Rhode Island's Lincoln Chafee was once a Republican in the Senate.
Regain control of what, Boehner's crying towel?
I have a solution for these morons trying to keep their social club: go away voluntarily or get fired.
0-3 since 2006 enough said right there!
Someone needs to tell these nameless wonders the jig is up.
Are they talking about candidates like Berg in ND, Rehberg in MT, Scott Brown in MA, Connie Mack in FL, and Tommy Thompson in WI, you know, outsider Tea Party radicals who lost in elections that could have been won?
We have had a bellyful of GOP consultant losers, Certainly they seek control, but it's too late.
They have two choices, Bring the GOP together behind Conservatives and the Tea party or do what they have done in the last 2 losing campaigns, Split the party and lose.
Me? I am ready to move on. If nothing else I will go independent.
The GOP-E can go to hell and take its crooked consultants with it.
These consultants would rather have President Obama and the Democrats control Washington than have genuine conservatives in power.
It is time to SMASH the GOP and start a new political party.
So Rove has a new job? What a joke. They got their Rino
Candidates the past two Presidential Elections.
I think this is more an attempt to shield the party nobles
from the chattering class. How dare we challenge their backroom deals
That stuff their pockets with cash while selling out America.
"Moderate pubbies like Romney win..."
Don't forget President McCain...oh wait.
Steve Schmidt and the rest of the useless RINOs blew two presidential elections in a row. It's time to try a full-blown conservative as the GOP nominee, and to close the primaries to RAT voters.
Conservative's who remain republican are just wasting their time and political capital! There is not one single solitary reason why any conservative should be a republican in this day and age.
TEAPARTY FOREVER!...Screw the GOP Rino's!!!
Oh, there's one reason, for sure.
Conservatives who abandon the Republican party are doomed to live in Loserland -- probably for the rest of their lives.
Conservatives who decide to stick it out and work to take over the Republican party from within will at least have a chance to elect conservatives two, four, six, eight, ten years from now.
These national consultants are the biggest problem in politics. Keep in mind that they get paid win or lose.
One would think they would learn from this.
But, nooooooooooooooooo.
The American people face two enemies:
1. Liberals
2. Washington Republicans
A single party system would be better than a future of minority RINO's doing the bidding of majority Democrats.
That is what they keep expecting us to believe election after election.
Form the paragraph at the top of page two in the article comes this gem: " - - - Since 2008, the national party seal of approval has served only to taint candidates as Washington insiders. - - - - "
If this is a valid observation, then the following may also be truee:
1.) the problem is with what is going on inside Washington;
2.) winning elections has had a history of turning well-meaning winners into the same old Washington insiders.
Old Abby is DC lib and peddles lies and Dem party faxes as a story.
Since she lives in DC and works for. Dem party front group she has never actually seen or met a republican but she was hired to
Split out Dem party pr releases about them .
There is no way to splinter off and still be able to defeat RATS.
This is why we have primaries. Fight it out there but after that is over, the goal is to defeat every RAT possible.
We need majorities and that may mean accepting RINOS we'd rather not have but a RINO is better than a RAT--any day.
Forget this "third party" talk--it's destructive. We have to live in reality and I'm talking reality.
There aren't enough of any one faction to defeat both Republicans and Democrats.
{Conservatives who abandon the Republican party are doomed to live in Loserland — probably for the rest of their lives.}
As opposed to the loser land we now live in. Got it.
From early on, Communism has always strived to control the opposition.
In that light, RINO consultants are easier to understand.
Don't forget those 'consultants' got the Father of Socialized Medicine (RomneyCare) passed.
Question: Who was the Father of Gay Marriage, legally speaking?
Answer Gov. Romney.
Correction to previous posted version:
From early on, Communism has always worked to control the opposition.
In that light, RINO consultants are easier to understand. Think commie, but disguised.
Dont forget those consultants got the Father of Socialized Medicine (RomneyCare) nominated for POTUS.

Answer: Gov. Romney.
Got 'consultant'?
I love the way this beautiful man THINKS and SPEAKS!!!
With fearless PASSION and CONVICTION and HONESTY!!!
Savage screams invectives, but Levin screams the battle cry for FREEDOM and LIBERTY!!!
As if they ever lost it.
There's so much wrong with this piece I hardly know where to start. So I'm not going to try to deal with it point by point. It's too late at night and I'm tired.
Suffice it to say that it's all theater. These people never lost control of anything, and the relationships between the "consultants" and what they call "powerful conservative activist groups" are as incestuous as it gets, so the whole premise of the piece is inherently flawed.
Both groups, which are really the same old group, will continue to garner all the power to themselves, and conservatives and conservatism will continue to be the losers.
As long as conservatives are willing to play their game, that is.
It's over. Turn out the lights at the RNC, lock the doors, and throw away the keys.
Yeah, right! That's worked out quite well for ya over the past two Presidential elections!
Here's your problem. conservatives are NOT going to ever take it over because there are way too many rinos. The moderates will destroy whatever gains conservative make. It ALWAYS been this way. Conservatives need to start their own party and move on! republicans can GFT!
FGS, abandon that Titanic!
Exactly! The republican party NEEDS to be "destroyed" because it's so flawed now! Dumbass republicans who insist on going down the same road are just complete numbskulls at this point!
This is a very real problem I have with FR, I see a whole bunch of people who are eager to "follow the leader" right off the cliff. That, too, is human nature.
Do you understand math? This is a matter of the math must add up to over 50% and it will not happen with another watered-down party.
May I ask a question?
If, as you suggest, it is impossible for conservatives to defeat the rinos in the GOP-e, how would it then be possible for a conservative 3rd party to defeat both the rinos and Democrats?
Telling the Republicans to GFT punishes the Republicans and may be gratifying...to a degree. But does it improve the odds of electing a conservative?
I don't care about a new party all I know and everyone else knows but you and some straggler conservatives, is the republican party is useless. If you don't see it by now you never will. So, support the losers and end up in the next four years with the same exact results as you have now!
Who cares whether republicans win?! Do you understand insanity? How long are you going to follow power hungry rino's getting the SAME results year after year, decade after decade?
I've concluded republicans SUCK and I have a feeling I'm in the majority with many other conservatives with these same feelings!
Are you watching FOX now? The Republicans HAVE stood on principle and it's time to thank them rather than condemning them.
The Republicans have pushed this right back where it belongs--in the lap of Obama and the RATS.
The Republicans also trying to get to the bottom of Benghazi.
I am extremely disappointed at what I see here on FR. This is the perfect example of a herd mentality. I feel sorry for you, and others like you here on FR who are so blinded you can't see there is a team on your side who is trying to do the very things you want done.
FR is far more anti-Republican than anti-Democrat. That is wrong.

Yum Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr.
Please Note: Baits and Jigheads not included.
The Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. is a compact, flashy, finesse-style umbrella rig equipped with four spinnerbait blades to help it further simulate a small school of baitfish. The little brother of the Yumbrella Flash Mob, it has all same the same great features - just with a smaller profile. Equipped with five super-strong, heat-treated stainless steel wires to ensure strength and flexibility, the Flash Mob Jr. also features high quality super strong snaps and swivels to ensure flawless performance when hooking multiple fish at the same time.
The Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. is available with your choice of willow or Colorado blades. Willow blades offer increased flash with limited vibration, and are great for clearer water conditions. The Colorado blades on the other hand put off increased vibration, and are ideal for dirty and stained water conditions when bass rely more on their lateral line to hone in on prey. Perfect for targeting suspended bass, as well as other gamefish feeding on baitfish, you can rig the Yumbrella Flash Mob Jr. with a variety of lures, including soft plastic swim-baits, grubs, jig heads, etc. Multiple hook ups are always possibility, so hold on tight.
Length: 5.5" (tip of head to end of middle wire)
**Don't forget to check your State's fish and game rules and regulations - a fully rigged Yum Ultralight Flash Mob Jr. Rig is illegal in some States.

Customer Reviews
Comments: Have had several arms dislodge from the head itself. No problems with snaps & hardware. Works when it stays together.
From: Tommy: Garrett, IN 5/25/16
Comments: Great rig, but the arms will definitely break. Caught tons of fish on this. The snaps on some of them are not very good. They may have fixed this.
From: Steve: Austin, TX 1/19/16
Comments: This rig works very well, but the first thing I do is remove the snaps and replace them with split rings. I also use 1/8oz fishhead spins that add even more flash. They wreck this thing on Hartwell. The stripers love it too, but they do wreak havoc on it. The arms tend to break after 10-20 stripers and hybrids(mostly 4-5lb) run with it. I throw it on 50lb or 65lb PowerPro braid. When I set it up the way I mentioned previously, I am slinging about $38 so I use heavy braid.
From: Scott: Anderson, SC 12/3/14
Comments: Recently fished a 2 day tournament on Table Rock Lake, Missouri and landed several fish over 4 lbs including one 6 pounder with no issues with the snaps as others have described. It was our money bait, finished 2nd overall and every fish we weighed in was caught on this bait. I threw this thing for 6 days straight on that trip and caught about 60 fish without an issue. Ordered more!
From: Mike: Grand Rapids, MI 4/12/14
Comments: these are awesome I have caught so many bass on these things and have had absolutely no problems with snaps or wires breaking.I'm deffinently buying more!
From: Denver: DeRidder, LA
Comments: I haven't had any of the issues others have talked about with this rig. Works well for me, did have one of the wires finally break after lots of use and catching....probably fatigued from being bent back into place too many times. I'm still not sure how you straighten a 45lb snap out but then I only fish these on 20-30lb braid and a 10ft leader of 20lb mono. I guess if you're using 65-80lb braid you can pretty much straighten any hook out. I'm fishing bass, not tuna, groupers, or amberjacks in the Gulf, so I won't be needing the 65-80lb braid.
From: William: LB Ca USA
Comments: great rig have caught 9 bass from 3-5 ibs did have one of the snaps break at the swivel but otherwise it has held up well works well with small swim baits and light hooks and weight
From: Glenn: jackson MI USA
Comments: Bought a few of the newer ones and the new design that attaches the blades to the arms totally sucks..really disapointed in YUM for not just sticking to the original design with the tiny crimps. On the new ones the blades sometimes bind up and don't trail straight back like they should. Also I think their new source for their willow blades is sub-par because they seemed to tarnish real quick.. All YUM had to do was keep it the same or just use better snaps.
From: Ceasar: So Cal
Comments: Great rig, pulled in a few @ Quachita (ultra clear water) in mid-Feb. Thanks for the other posts, swapped the snaps out before using, otherwise it is made very well.
From: Bailey: Beebe, AR
Comments: Lost two big largemouth in a tournament on Lake Amistad due to the snaps failing. Replaced them with stronger snaps and didn't have any more problems. Looks awesome in the water.
From: Tony: Mont Belvieu, TX
Comments: these could use stronger snaps, but I would give them a high grade. I caught several big rockfish(stripers) the biggest was 15 lbs and it held up well.
From: Dave: Columbia, MD

About the Author: Laura Gritz is the Public Affairs Officer at the U.S. Embassy in Reykjavik, Iceland.
Thanksgiving came early this year when the Iceland Fulbright Alumni Association hosted a fundraising dinner on November. 13. With support from the Iceland Fulbright Commission and U.S. Embassy Reykjavik, the Thanksgiving dinner attracted nearly seventy guests, including notable Fulbright alumni from government, academia, and the media.
U.S. Ambassador to Iceland Luis Arreaga encouraged Icelandic Fulbright alumni to continue expanding outreach activity. Former Foreign Minister Jón Baldvín Hannibalson described how his Fulbright years in America shaped his views at a young age.
The evening's entertainment included American folk songs performed by U.S. Embassy staff, along with an American trivia quiz hosted by an Icelandic talk show host who is a Fulbright alumna.
Question: "Iceland is approximately the size of which U.S. state?"
Answer: "Kentucky."
Funds raised through ticket sales will contribute to one Icelandic Fulbright student grant. Association Chairperson Ragnhildur Sigudardottir said that by hosting the fundraising dinner, the alumni association wanted to show its commitment to Fulbright Iceland and that she hopes the event will become an annual tradition.
