PRICE-Rose Ann Saracino McKinnon, age 68, passed away Sept. 24, 2003 at her home. She was born Feb. 13, 1935 in Helper to Ralph and Annie Alfonso Saracino. Married Roger Kenneth McKinnon, Sr., Nov. 18, 1954 in Elko, Nev. He died July 14, 2001.
Mom was an inspiration to all that knew her. Her generosity was surpassed only by her love for her family and God. She loved her husband Roger and was always doing special things to show her affection for him. She also enjoyed spending time with her brothers and sisters, traveling to see them as much as she could. Her children were God's gifts to her and she spent her life living His word to show her appreciation through her faith.
One could not escape her warm personality. The friends and relationships she made with those she worked with were the beneficiaries of her charm and good nature when she was out in the public. She was a tireless worker and never accepted more pay than she believed was owed for the job she had done. She turned no one away that came to her for help. Through this and other ways, she taught family and friends the value of being a selfless servant of God.
Her greatest joy though was her grandchildren. She showered all of them with love, and took every opportunity to praise them for even the smallest achievements. She had a wonderful gift of creating fun out of learning and made it a point to teach good manners, respect, morals, values, and above all, an appreciation for God's blessings. They knew her as Grandma Rose and they all looked forward to going to her house whether it was coming home from school, or a weekend sleep over. Either way it meant fun and most of the time, we parents had a difficult time getting them to come back home. Grandma, we'll miss you.
Mom, God has called you back to Him. You have spent your life helping others and teaching His word. We know He has something special for you to do in reward for everything you have done for Him. Something you couldn't do while here on this earth. We may not understand now, but in time, we will. In the meantime we'll miss you dearly, We love you Mom. See you in Heaven!

PRICE-Rejoice and remember Chase Shane Wood, the loving son of Brian J. and Kimberly Sandoval Wood who touched us dearly on Sept. 23, 2003 in Price
Dear family and friends,
Until now we did not know how important it would be for us to tell you of our son, Chase Shane Wood. Acknowledgement of our child's short life may be upsetting to you. You may not know exactly what to say. And that's okay, you can help us through this difficult time by letting us talk about our sorrow when we feel the need, allowing us to cry when we need to and not pretending that everything is okay...when it's not. No response to this announcement is asked of you, we only want to thank you for listening to us. With your love and support we can be strong and have hope for a bright and happy future.
Chase is survived by his proud and loving parents, Brian and Kimberly Wood of Price; grandparents Joel (Bonnie) Wood, Fallon, Nev.; Bill (Sandy) McDowell, Montrose, Colo.; Charlie (Esther) Sandoval, Price; Carol (Stan) Densley, Price; aunts and uncles, James Wood, Montrose, Colo.; Misty (Matt) McFarlane, Robert (Patera) Wood, both of Fallon Nev.; Bryan (Chrystal) Sandoval, Stephanie (Chris) McNeil, Larry Chavez, all of Price; Jeremy Densely, Salt Lake; great-grandparents, Jim (Marie) Penasa, Montrose, Colo.; Virgil (Dolores) Sandoval, Price; Basil (Carol) Swatzell, Grand Junction, Colo.; and many other loving aunts, uncles, cousins, nieces, nephews and very special great-aunt and great-uncle Ray (Colleen) Haigler, Helper. Chase was preceded in death by Papa and Granny Wood; aunt, Anna Chavez; and special friend, Mac.
Graveside services were held Sept. 27 in the Cliffview Cemetery under the direction of Mitchell Funeral Home.

This West African country with the Atlantic as its western border is also bounded by Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, and the Congo. Its area is slightly less than Colorado's. Most of the country is covered by a dense tropical forest.
The earliest humans in Gabon were believed to be the Babinga, or Pygmies, dating back to 7000 B.C. , who were later followed by Bantu groups from southern and eastern Africa. Now there are many tribal groups in the country, the largest being the Fang peoples, who constitute 25% of the population.
Gabon was first explored by the Portuguese navigator Diego Cam in the 15th century. In 1472, the Portuguese explorers encountered the mouth of the Como River and named it "Rio de Gabao," river of Gabon, which later became the name of the country. The Dutch began arriving in 1593, and the French in 1630. In 1839, the French founded their first settlement on the left bank of the Gabon estuary and gradually occupied the hinterland during the second half of the 19th century. The land became a French territory in 1888, an autonomous republic within the French Union after World War II, and an independent republic on Aug. 17, 1960.

Comfortable and stylish
"First of all, I was amazed at how quickly I received my order. I ordered my black Clarks wedge sandals on a Tuesday afternoon and received them Friday morning! The reviews were very helpful, as I usually wear a 9-1/2M, but decided to order 10M instead. They fit perfectly! I think they are very comfortable for being 3-1/4 inch high and the leather straps prevent chafing. Ive definitely gotten my use out of them in just a few days. They are great for dressy casual attire."

CEI President at ARKCR Conference, Prague
CEI President, Manuel Negrão, joined ARK (Czech Republic Real Estate Association) at the 20 years birthday congress, on March 30th, 2011.
Manuel Negrão had the opportunity to speak about the European real estate activity and how to stimulate the housing sector.
As CEI President he strongly supported the development and introduction of the EN 15733, emphasizing the importance of common standards in Europe.
"Fair rules of competition for all real estate agents in Europe are one of the main goals of the work of CEI.
The EN 15733 standard which is the European standard with which property companies in member states must comply in order to ensure the security of consumers responds to that exact requirement, regulating a market that is based on the natural desire people have to own the home they live in.
This regulation which functions as a sort of lowest common denominator for quality in the services provided by professionals working in the real estate industry will make a positive difference and will help to promote those companies working in accordance with the values of freedom, the market economy and respect for citizens and consumers, as well as the very idea of the European Union itself", he said in his speech in the ARK conference in Prague.

|Prince Tour XS String Scores
|String Movement
|Playability Duration
Prince Tour XS is a crisp co-poly whose triangular geometry and pronounced edges make it uniquely qualified to grab a tennis ball. However, according to our team, this string offers more than just a tight grip on the felt. It also delivers a very controlled response, the kind that gives advanced players the confidence to swing bigger so as to impart vicious rotation (spin!) and pace to the ball. While our team found this to string to be comfortable and responsive for a firm poly, we think it is likely too firm and underpowered for beginners or players with slower, more compact strokes. It's also not likely to satisfy those in need of a springy or lively co-poly like Tourna Big Hitter Black 7. However, for the player who wants massive spin potential and exceptional precision on fast swings, Tour XS is worth a serious look.
Tour XS supplied all the ingredients needed to tame the long, fast strokes of our two playtesters. Andy explains, "This string offers low-to-medium power and a good amount of control. I felt like I could take a big cut at the ball and the ball wasn't going to sail long. With the lower power I never felt like I got an inconsistent response off the stringbed, so I was consistently confident that I knew precisely where my shot was going to go."
Michelle was also able to take full cuts without losing control. She said, "I really enjoyed the balance of power and control in this string. I didn't find it overly powerful, which is a good thing. I had good control, but I will always take even more control from my strings, which is why I usually increase the tension. The excellent bite made it very easy to bring the ball down with spin. I found a good balance between being able to hit out and still hit inside the lines. I found it to be a deader feeling poly, but not completely dead like super stiff polys."
Tour XS, with its low power and grippy profile, made it very easy for our playtesters to ratchet up the spin. Even with her flatter mechanics, Michelle had no problem getting her shots to dive. She said, "I love that this string is shaped triangularly! We first hit with it when we playtested the Prince Graphite 100, and I really fell in love with it. I had fun with this one because I could really feel the string grip the ball, and I felt the spin definitely enhanced my shots. The spin potential on defensive shots and kick second serves helped my flatter game be more effective."
"I really liked the spin potential of this string!" said Andy, who had zero complaints. "The shaped profile of the string grabs the ball, lets it sink in to the strings and sends it off with some nice rotation. I felt like I could accelerate on a slice backhand and really get the ball to knife hard through the court. Heavy topspin was easy to come by as well."
Although Tour XS isn't the softest poly on the market, Andy had no problems with impact shock. He said, "Even with its low power, I never had an issue with it being uncomfortable. It isn't the softest string out there, though, so there may be some players who would want a softer, more lively option. In a tight string pattern, or for players with short-to-medium strokes, I could see this string becoming a bit stiff and uncomfortable if the tension was too high."
Michelle also found Tour XS to be firm, but not brassy or uncomfortable. She said, "No comfort issues here! I strung it up in the high 50s and didn't have any issues with arm soreness. I would consider this a pretty firm poly, but it's definitely on the more comfortable side of the poly spectrum with these characteristics."
Some polys can feel too stiff and unresponsive, especially on off-center hits. By contrast, the most elastic co-polys can sometimes feel too springy, making the player feel slightly disconnected from the ball. For Michelle, Tour XS avoided both these pitfalls. She said, "This string never felt too stiff, too mushy or too soft to me. I felt the firmness was perfect for really feeling connected to the ball, and I loved that I could feel the string actually bite into the ball at contact."
Andy also appreciated the feel, saying, "If there's a spectrum from extremely soft and mushy to extremely stiff and crisp for a polyester, this one lands close to the middle, if not slightly toward the soft side. I could feel the ball sink into the strings nicely, and I also felt connected to it as it left my strings. Nice feel for a co-poly here!"
For our team, one of the main strengths of Tour XS was how long it remained playable. Andy was impressed, saying, "There was above average tension maintenance and playability duration. I've had it in one of my racquets for a few weeks now with only a slight drop in tension and no noticeable change in performance."
This string held up remarkably well under the pressure of Michelle's huge strokes. She said, "This poly played really consistently throughout my playtest. It held tension well, above average for a poly, in my opinion."
Michelle - "This is a great option for players looking for a comfortable poly with a lot of spin potential!"
Andy - "With its low power, this isn't the most accessible string for players who aren't used to using poly. This is a string for players with long, fast strokes who generate their own power and are also used to playing with polyester strings."
Michelle - "I like the shape and added spin I found with this string. I also loved the comfort level. I enjoy that deader feel, and I'm happy to not have to sacrifice comfort for it."
Andy - "The control, spin and feel, and how long it lasts in my racquets."
Michelle - "None! I am loving this string (especially strung in the Head Graphene Radical Pro -- the color works perfectly!) I think it's a good string for flatter hitting players who will appreciate the extra spin potential and bite on the balls they hit."
Andy - "Just personal preference, but I like a crisper, slightly livelier string. This would be a great option for players who like a deader poly."
Michelle - "Similar to Cyclone -- awesome spin when needed and just firm enough."
Andy - "This has similar feel, ball pocketing, spin potential and power to one of my favorite strings, Volkl Cyclone. Tour XS may just be a touch softer and lower powered. It also feels a lot like Tecnifibre Pro Red Code and Weiss Cannon Black5Edge."

"I love these shoes so much I just bought my second pair. I bought a pair in black last spring and I wore them so much that I ordered the exact pair again this fall. They are great shoes that you can just slip on and go. They also look great with everything I wear, I love to pair them with skinnys. I would also recommend getting the Hue brand slip-on socks. They go around your toes and heel and they are perfect for these shoes."

"I ordered invites for a baby shower. I wanted a special invite for a girl and back yard barbecue. Tiny Prints met my wishes. There were several options to choose from and they were all nice invites. The ordering process was easy and fast. My order came to my doorstep sooner than expected and that's always a plus! I didn't know what to expect quality wise, and I am so very pleased with the thickness of the card stock and overall appearance of the card. I am very very pleased with my order!"
"I loved my shower invite! Every detail was exactly how it was supposed to be and the quality is excellent! I added the pearlilized effect which made the card even more beautiful! It helped a lot that I ordered sample cards before I placed my order so I knew exactly what I was getting before I made my purchase. Will definitely recommend tiny prints to everyone and continue using for all my future events!"
"The invitations came out perfect and customer service was great, I had to call in for something I forgot to add to the invitation. Delivered as promised."

On June 13, members of the State Bureau of Land Management Resource Advisory Council (RAC) met at the county building in Castle Dale. The RAC is made up of citizens of the state representing various interests, including grazing, preservation, motorized recreation and non-motorized recreation. Fourteen members met at a regularly scheduled meeting to discuss issues of concern throughout the state of Utah. Topics of local interest which were on the agenda were the Price and Richfield Resource Management Plans, Recreation Use and Permits, and the Goodwill Rider program.
The RAC is an advisory committee to the State BLM Office. State Director Sally Wisely sits on the council and Commissioner Drew Sitterud is a local representative on the council. Council members were treated to dinner at The 'Ole Millsite Restaurant and on Tuesday took a half day tour of The Wedge Overlook, Buckhorn Draw and had lunch at the campground at Swinging Bridge before departing. There was much discussion with the council at the Wedge Overlook, where BLM is proposing management changes which have been brought on by the presence of the San Rafael cactus, a plant listed as endangered and therefore requiring special protection.
Price Field Office personnel, Sheriff Guymon and Public Lands Administrator Ray Petersen accompanied the group as they toured the area.

Building Jewish Leaders at Hungary's Camp Szarvas
For 24-year-old David Csillik — who works as a unit head at Szarvas, JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp — his purpose is clear.
For 24-year-old David Csillik — who works as a unit head at Szarvas, JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp — his purpose is clear.
Selfies with the rabbi. A bounce castle. An open-air Jewish market. These were just a few of the dozens of activities on the docket at the Balint JCC in Budapest, Hungary's annual Open Doors Festival – a chance for the main community institution of the city's approximately 100,000 Jews to introduce itself to its neighbors.
This summer marked 14-year-old Galya's first time at Szarvas — JDC and the Ronald S. Lauder Foundation's pioneering international Jewish summer camp bringing together 1,300 children and teens from 25 countries — but the Turkish teen is no stranger to the idea of being a global citizen.
Wiktoria Jachym, 16, is a proud participant of many Jewish programs in her hometown of Krakow, Poland — Sunday school, community celebrations, the city's innovative 7@Nite Festival, and more. But the high school student's favorite Jewish program by far is Camp Szarvas, JDC's pioneering summer camp experience for young Jewish leaders from around the world.
Some marriages are a match made in heaven. For Barbi Paszternak-Szendy and her husband Andras Paszternak, their June nuptials were a match made in Szarvas.
"Judafest Juniors is a unique event where positive Jewish identity is created for families and young children through inventive activities," explains Agi Kardos, a mother of two who grew up during the socialist regime in Hungary in a traditional Jewish family—something very unusual for her generation. "Many people who are not ready to attend other kinds of Jewish programs are warmly welcomed here; and it's accessible to non-Jews, giving our community a chance to open up to Budapest's larger society, too."
All year long Henrik Z., 32, who has Down's syndrome and lives with his pensioner mother in Budapest, Hungary, looks forward to the most special week of his summer. That's when he goes to camp Szarvas, where he sees his friends, plays soccer, and celebrates Shabbat with the community he feels closest to.
This June, Kazinczy Street in Budapest's Jewish quarter will come alive with the spirited energy and joy of over 4000 Jews coming together to celebrate the richness of Jewish life in Hungary today.
This summer, hundreds of kids are celebrating Jewish traditions and making new friends at JDC-supported camps in Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. Find out how Olameinu camp director Irina O. will make their experience unforgettable.
"I've participated in Gesher four years in a row because it provides an unparalleled opportunity to bond and connect with international peers in a Jewish context," shared Olivera J., a 25-year-old medical student from Macedonia, after participating in the annual JDC-supported leadership development event for Jewish young adults from the Balkan-Black Sea region last month in Serbia.

MC Swimbaits MC Shad
The MC Swimbaits MC Shad offers a bite-sized baitfish profile that is paired with a specially designed square tail. The unique shape of the MC Swimbaits MC Shad's tail gives it a vigorous, flickering action that looks incredible hopping along the bottom, on a steady retrieve, and especially on the drop. Additionally, the smaller size of the MC Swimbait MC Shad makes it ideal for a range of applications. Hand-poured and built with more than 18-years of bait-making experience, the MC Swimbaits MC Shad will make a welcomed addition to any angler's tacklebox.
11 Colors

Customer Reviews
Comments: If you don't use any of these, than you are begging the game of finesse fishing. Nothing else compares to the action, durability, colors, or production of this bait. Rigged weightless is my favorite way to fish it because of how well it stays upright, but also love em as spinnerbaits trailers and run on an Alabama rig. (The 2.5 also catches trout) Give em a shot, you won't be disappointed!
From: Bryce: Trabuco Canyon, CA 3/6/14
Comments: These new MC Shadbaits are absolutely insane regardless of how you rig them. I have tried them on EWG 2/0-3/0's, darter & scrounger heads,and as trailers on my A-rigs and have had very, very good success using all these methods. I know several hardcore smallmouth & spotted bass guys that are losing their minds over this new bait!!
From: Oxnard/Ventura
Comments: bass Fished the baby bass, hologram shad and perch on a 1/18th wt 3/0 wide gap hook bass loved it ! Can't wait to try it on a drop shot !
From: VO: AL
Comments: I have been fishing the MC shad lately and love it! the packaging is great all the way from the way the baits sit to how durable it is. second the bait swims very true even with out weight and the bait draws fish from every where its ridiculous. Corey has really out done him self with this bait, thanks again MC for making such a great product!
From: Taylor: CA
Comments: Purchased a couple packs of some colors that looked good on the site. They look even better in person. If you have silversides in your lake the threadfin and T-shad will knock em. On a standard EWG hook they swim really nice both at a slow and fast retrieve. Put a couple on the A-rig and by far the best looking school of fish I've been able to duplicate. Very durable as already mentioned. MC has a winner here.
From: Adam: NorCal
Comments: I've been fishing the MC shad bait. Very impressed with the bait. Extremely durable and unique action. I've caught 15 fish up to 7 pounds on one bait.The packaging keeps the baits strait so every bait runs true. I would highly recommend using these baits for when the bass are schooled up on shad.
From: Alex: Northern California
Comments: First cast on a boil at elcap reservoir caught two and half pounder.The key to this bait is that you can fly line it on a 1/0 or 2/0 offset hook and it runs straight and does not rool at all.Looks very natural in the water.

The upfront zipper is a nice touch -- adding both style and fashion. I like that it is not a snug fit, and it leaves room for wearing thicker socks or tights. I plan to wear this pair with everything from my Vera Wang dress to my leggings this fall and winter."

"Happy Mother's Day" means more
Than have a happy day.
Within those words lie lots of things
We never get to say.
It means I love you first of all,
Then thanks for all you do.
It means you mean a lot to me,
And that I honor you.
But most of all, I guess it means
That I am thinking of
Your happiness on this, your day,
With pleasure and with love.

Settlement announced with Toyota over unintended acceleration issue
29 states, including Virginia and Tennessee, announced a multi-million dollar settlement with Toyota Motor Corporation on Thursday.
The settlement stems from allegations the company concealed safety issues related to unintended acceleration of cars.
Toyota will pay $29 million in attorneys' fees and civil penalties, to settle state consumer protection claims, and has agreed to provide an estimated additional $5 million dollars in consumer restitution for out-of-pocket costs many consumers paid while complying with safety recalls related to the issue.
We've learned Virginia will receive nearly $740,000 to use towards consumer protection initiatives and education.
The recalled models consumers can be reimbursed for are:
· 10V-017 ("sticky pedal" recall; Toyota Safety Recall No. AOA);
· 09V-388 ("floor mat entrapment" safety campaign; Toyota Recall No. 90L/9LG);
· 10V-023 ("floor mat entrapment" safety campaign; Toyota Recall No. 90L/9LG);
· 11V-113 ("floor mat entrapment" safety campaign; Toyota's Recall Campaign No. 90L/9LG);
· 09V-023 (the Sienna "Safety Improvement Campaign"); and
05V-389 (the "steering relay rod" recall; Toyota Recall No. SSC 50N).

Sale claimed a potentially vital Aviva Premiership victory in their battle against relegation, winning 26-25 at London Welsh.
Sale Sharks' recent momentum continued as they took the spoils with a 26-25 win over London Welsh at the Kassam Stadium
A Nick Macleod penalty ten minutes from time stole the lead from Welsh, in a game where the lead changed hands several times.
Seemingly doomed only a month ago, Sale are now only one point behind second-bottom London Irish, while Welsh are only one point ahead of the side from Reading.
Welsh had won only once in their last nine games, a home win over Prato in the Amlin Challenge Cup last month, and had lost 28-12 at Leicester Tigers last week.
Sale, meanwhile, were on a good run of form having won their previous three fixtures, and had closed the gap on their fellow relegation candidates with a home win over Exeter Chiefs last weekend.
Danny Cipriani and Alex Davies traded early penalties, and as the first half wore on, Sale indiscretions led to opportunities for the home side – Henson missing a long range penalty, before Davies added two more.
Henson meanwhile, earned his place on the scoresheet after half an hour's play with a well taken kick from half way to stretch the Exiles into a 12-3 lead.
In the final minute of the first period, Sharks took the lead with a good move, ending in Cliff crossing the whitewash, and with Cipriani converting – in addition to his second penalty scored minutes earlier – the Sharks took a one-point lead at the break.
Sale kept that momentum going as the second period started, and Dan Braid scored his second try since signing last month with the conversion sending them 20-12 in front.
The topsy-turvy nature of this game saw Welsh go back in front though, after Davies scored his third penalty, and a converted try from winger Phil Mackenzie game them a 22-20 lead.
Another long-range penalty effort from Henson – this time five metres inside his own half – fell short, before he regained his form from the 22 metre line as the hour mark approached.
Cipriani pulled three points back, before former Sharks hooker Neil Briggs almost haunted his former club, but his drive to over the line was held up.
It was still all to play for as Macleod kicked the winning points, for the visitors to hold on for a dramatic victory, leaving at least three sides above them in the table now looking nervously over their shoulders as the season enters its final phase.
The scorers:
For London Welsh:
Try: MacKenzie
Con: Henson
Pens: Davies 4, Henson 2
For Sale Sharks:
Tries: Braid, Cliff
Cons: Cipriani 2
Pens: Cipriani 3, Macleod
London Welsh: 15 Tom Arscott, 14 Phil MacKenzie , 13 Gonzalo Tiesi , 12 Sonny Parker , 11 Nick Scott, 10 Gavin Henson , 9 Alex Davies, 8 Ed Jackson 7 Julio Cabello , 6 Adam Balding, 5 Matt Corker, 4 Jonathan Mills (C), 3 Paulica Ion , 2 Neil Briggs, 1 Franck Montanella.
Replacements: 16 Greg Bateman, 17 Tom Bristow, 18 James Tideswell, 19 Kirill Kulemin, 20 Michael Hills, 21 Tyson Keats, 22 Gordon Ross, 23 Seb Jewell.
Sale Sharks: 15 Rob Miller, 14 Charlie Amesbury, 13 Jonny Leota, 12 Sammy Tuitupou, 11 Mark Cueto, 10 Danny Cipriani, 9 Will Cliff, 8 James Gaskell 7 David Seymour, 6 Dan Braid, 5 Tom Holmes, 4 Richie Gray, 3 Henry Thomas, 2 Marc Jones, 1 Alasdair Dickinson.
Replacements: 16 Tommy Taylor, 17 Ross Harrison, 18 Eifion Lewis Roberts, 19 Andy Powell, 20 Richie Vernon, 21 Cillian Willis, 22 Nick Macleod, 23 Will Addison

Electronic Arts have stubbornly backed the Medal of Honor series for about 15 years, despite releasing some of the most flawed first-person shooter games along the way.
Danger Close Games took over the 2010 reboot of the series with some success. Its second outing, MoH Warfighter, is by no means a bad game but displays many of the horrific frustrations that have dogged the series.
The game picks up where Medal of Honor left off, and finds Tier 1 operator Preacher returning home to find his family torn apart after years of deployment. As he prepares to meet his wife in Madrid, a suicide-bomber blows up the train his wife was meant to board, putting Preacher in hospital.
Upon recovery, Preacher is assigned to the CIA's Operation Blackbird in Pakistan, to find out the whereabouts of stockpiles of the explosive PETN before it takes many more innocent lives.
The cut scenes that introduce the plot and the ensuing link scenes are actually some of the best-looking animations I have seen, but that's where the praise ends for MoH Warfighter.
The biggest problem is the AI, both of the enemy and your squadmate, who seems completely unable to shoot anyone and is only useful for indicating where enemies are by watching his line of fire.
On more than one occasion I found an enemy and my squadmate standing side by side, seemingly unable to shoot each other.
Even the multiplayer doesn't lift the game above anything worthy of a weekend rental.
Medal of Honor Warfighter

World's Smallest Boring Head?
6. March 2013
Big Kaiser says it has produced the industry's smallest finish boring head. Its EWN 04-7 series is designed for use on micro-milling machines with high speed spindles such as HSK-E25, E32 and E40 models.
This boring head has a diameter range of 0.016" to 0.276". It features a high-precision adjustment accuracy of 0.0005"/diameter or 0.0001"/diameter with the use of a Vernier scale. The head is available with the Kaiser KA1 modular connection or with a 10-mm-diameter straight shank, and can accept boring bars with 4-mm-diameter shanks. Maximum through-tool coolant pressure is 300 psi. High rigidity and secure clamping of the boring bar makes it well-suited for many micromachining applications including those that require small-diameter boring deep inside cavities.

With the E. coli outbreak of the past couple of weeks across Europe, coupled with some stories from friends dealing with staph infections, I thought NOW would be a great time to talk about alternatives for antibiotics. Simply put, between the overuse of antibiotics in our doctor's offices and the insane amount of use of antibiotics in our food system (milk, meat, fish) we have created super monstrous strains of bacteria that our drugs can no longer handle effectively. In addition, we have debilitated our immune systems by not allowing them any practice at fighting bacteria. How are our immune systems supposed to know what to do if we never let them practice? We stop fevers with acetaminophen and ibuprofen, so our bodies don't know to heat up when they're infected with an agent that they need to destroy. We make a mess out of our gut with unhealthy, processed, pesticide ridden, irradiated, genetically modified "food" that stimulates an autoimmune reaction of its own. With all of this going on, how we make it from day to day at all, is sometimes a mystery to me…
Here are some tactics to try BEFORE you're faced with something that mainstream can't cure anymore:
- Clean up your diet and eat foods that are appropriate for you. Your intestines are a critical part of your immune system and must be cared for correctly.
- Encourage the growth of healthy belly bacteria! The good guys love to eat greens and the bad guys thrive on sugar and junk. Starve the enemy, feed your warriors and send in new troops with probiotics. There are specific strains that target specific issues, S. boulardii and L. plantarum are 2 of my favorites.
- Don't use antibacterial soaps, sprays and gels. They are toxic, the triclosan creates chloroform when it combines with chlorine, deadly. Plain old vegetable based soap is all you need. Dr. Bronner's is great for just about anything, from your car to your body to your dishes, ask any camper!
- Eat fermented foods to replenish good bacteria in your gut, that's the whole foods based option and humans have been doing it forever with great results.
- Get sleep and sun, your body needs rest and Vitamin D.
- Try to minimize your stress, act thoughtfully, do not react.
If this all fails, you have a tough week, or a superbug gets you, here are some options to help you out when mainstream fails. Please remember to consult your doctor, alternative practitioner, or naturopath for guidance. Some of these options cannot be combined with yeast or fungus based antibiotics, as they could cancel the drug's effectiveness. Also, they may interact with other prescription drugs and should be approved by your physician. Please do not let him or her dismiss your suggestions, but listen if there is a valid reason for recommending other options.
- oregano oil, with isolated P-73 strain
- wild olive leaf extract
- red thyme oil
- Young Living Essential Oils including Immune Support, R.C. and Thieves Customer #1073135
- Vitamin C or better yet, intravenous Vitamin C if you need the big guns, do some research on the Linus Pauling Institute site. There is also an amazing story of a man in New Zealand who was saved with IV Vit C when infected with H1N1, much to the chagrin of mainstream medicine.
- UV light, sometimes known as plasmaphoresis. Very potent pathogen zapper.
- Grapefruit seed extract, also potent anti-fungal.
- Hyperbaric oxygen therapy
- Colloidal silver
- Transdermal magnesium therapy, can also be nebulized in severe cases.
Many of these modalities can cause a die-off reaction that can make you feel worse, before you feel better. Get in a nice tub full of epsom salts, drink lots of water with fresh lemon juice and REST!

(he must had known something because he knew One Piece held something WG doesn't want to get out and 'people will find it one day' - which then made Sengoku angry)
"Wasted" is a strong word. WB being a "failure" is more debatable coz WB did try. Failed in the end but attempted to do something big so It's not a waste of life or by the way I see what you are trying to say is a waste of his full potential as a pirate. Wasting one's life is doing nothing productive or anything worth mentioning.
sig made by me
whitebeard is A pirate. he lived his life the way HE wanted. he was in no obligation to go out of his way and save the world tbh.
he, being the great pirate he is, protected towns and islands that he liked OR had friends in it, he was friends with neptune on FI.
the fact that he could have done more, doenst mean he should've.
and when comparing him with dragon and his army. they are rebels. rebels are anti-government. thats why you see them attacking the WG and planning against them.
Pirates just dont care.
TLR... some of it. Lolz, now I know how some people feel when they read my post.
On topic though, WB didn't waste his life. However, he did fail, although it was most likely out of his control. Here's my reasoning:
-WB wanted to make Ace PK, and have him complete Roger's dream.
-WB, in the past few years, hadn't been very active, as shown by the civilians discussion when the war was announced.
-The reason for this, was because he was having Ace move about to spread more reputation. Ace was shown recruiting Squadro which confirms this.
-WB had intended to die at the war from the get and go. The reason is simple, to start a new age, the old one must end. He had intended for Ace to take over as Captain, then go out and rule the seas.
-Ace was the one thing that didn't go to plan, falling to Akainu's stupid taunts. Which pretty much screwed everything up.
-WB started a new age with his death, but in the process, he saved Luffy, and passed on Roger and Ace's will to him through creating unrest around the world, to keep the WG busy from concentrating on hunting Luffy.
Had Ace not been so stupid, the territories that were WB's would have fallen to him, and possibly spread to taking over all the seas. I mean Shanks himself was part of Roger's crew, that and the fact that his friends with Luffy, Ace's brother, means that they were very likely to join forces in some way. WB had all the connections, e.g. Neptune and Jimbei meant that the fishmen would have been on Ace's side.
Also note that WB had no reason to take out the WG after Ace's death. I mean sure, with him gone, islands that were under his protection would be targetted, but that's only a small amount. With the WG gone, all the worlds islands would be under unrest, not to mention his not a D, nor does he carry the will of D, he best protect those who do (in other words Luffy).
Of course not, he open a new century of Pirate, and it will lead more and more people to search for the freedom, the truth of this world!
火影忍者 狐忍
-But why? Ace would never had been Whitebeards equal, not to mention Whitebeard most likely didn't even know about Ace being Rogers son until after Ace was already in the NW - so that was like 18-20YEARS after Roger died.
-And that's why I say his life is wasted, he was so powerful yet he was inactive, even if he didn't take the WG down, he could had done more with strengthening the islands under his command, we know he didn't do anything like that because the turmoil that happened when he died.
-But that still doesn't account for the 15years+ when he didn't even know Roger had a son (and unless Garp told him, he couldn't have known since Ace's mother died giving birth and Roger told Garp in secret)
-But this future never had to happen, before Roger died he offered WB the way to Raftel and thus One Piece, Whitebeard at the time was still relatively young (maybe 40) yet he didn't do anything... and of course he would had died eventually but he could had done so much more while he was healthy/younger.
-I think I answered this bullet.
-I don't think he started a new age, rather inspired a new generation, those are not the same things
Still, thats only IF Whitebeard knew about Ace before Ace was a NW Pirate... And I doubt he did, Roger wouldn't had let something like him having a son slip out to anyone considering the WG was committing infanticide on those islands he visited unless he was planning to give the baby to Whitebeard - and there's no way WB would had turned down Rogers son (considering how he was about family) yet despite that, Roger gave Ace to Garp.
I and would be fine with that if he was a guy like BB, but WB was shown to be a generally goodly person - he protected islands and asked for nothing in return and because he did that I say he could/should had done more with his life/powers.
First of all, Ace has the potential to be WB's equal. He's the son of the PK after all. So why Ace? Because he is a D. Actually WB just adopted Ace mainly because he just wanted to. Being a D just presented itself.
So why being a D is important? If we study the conversation of Roger and WB plus the things WB said in the war before he died, we can conclude that not anyone can be the PK or at least not anyone can be what Roger was waiting for. Roger wanted a D. Let's break it down.
Roger asked WB if he wanted to know to go to Raftel. WB declined as he never wanted to go anyway so Roger just told him why is the WG trying to hide that he's a D.
So Roger told WB who was he waiting. Roger waits for the men who carries his will who has been passed down to Ace and now to Luffy. He's simply talking about the will of the D. Something that BB doesn't have even though he's a D himself. Therefore WB can't be PK so instead he wanted to guide Ace to be one. Knowing whether Ace is the son of Roger or not is irrelevant. WB just wanted a D who is carrying the will. Ace being directly the son of Roger was just a bonus. Same thing why Shank sacrificed his arm for Luffy. He wanted him to be the PK one day.
Now back on topic.. uhmm I'll let CM answer that.
sig made by me
Whitebeard didn't do anything to reveal the true nature of the World Government because it is not his place to do so.
Whitebeard exposing the government as the 'evil-doers' of the world is like criminals saying that the police are the 'real criminals'... first of all, people wouldn't believe it because they wouldn't want to believe it and they were brought up trusting the WG and the Marines. You just can't instantly change someones mind.
That's why you see Dragon and thr revolutionaries continuously opposing the WG but never really try to expose them. The revolutionarys only go around helping and saving people.
Maybe the WG isn't really the evil ones. They're methods and the things they might do may seem evil to us and to them but in the end of they day, they are 'justice' in the world of OP and that will not change. Pirates will always be seen as scum and the evil-doers as long as things go the way they are going.
People praise the WG and the Marines but cower in fear when they hear the names of pirates.
Even if the pirates were to go on another full on, all out war with the government and navy... things still will not change, even if the navy does lose.
Whitebeard did not waste his life, he simply enjoyed it and lived the way he wanted to live. He had everything he needed. plus he was a clever man, he wouldn't just go running around various islands shouting 'the WG and Marines are evil!'
Also I don't think Roger cared much a 'D' finding One Piece, after all he offered it to WB - you may say "well, it wasn't in WB's personality to want it" but that's not the point, if WB had asked for it Roger would had given it to him.
And Pirate King is just a title, anyone with the drive can get it, and in One Piece it seems peoples "will" is reborn when they die - even if WB didn't have the 'Will of D' he obviously had a very very strong Will.
For the whole first part of your comment all I have to say is 'Rodney King' - you say people will always believe in the establishment but here was a case were ONE guy got abused by the system and basically all of Los Angeles started a riot, killing like 50people and injuring thousands (not to mention the looting/arson).
Now what the WG in OPverse does is much worse then what the L.A.P.D did (Not saying the officers were innocent, obviously they all should had went to jail) not to mention the WG isn't like 1 country, its more like a Empire but not like a normal Empire, because it has at least hundreds of countries in it, and EACH country and its own King/Army/Navy with little WG oversight.
Say.. only 1/3 of the Kings are like Cobra and are goodly, if they all left the WG would be powerless to do anything about it since from all we know right now the WG is powerless to stomp out Dragon and the new governments he helps install.
I agree he wouldn't have to run island to island shouting "WG and Marines are evil" he could find the proof, hell, Luffy has been on the ocean (minus training time) for *maybe* 8-9months and he's already encountered so much, who knows what WB knew about the WG but it had to be something important because Sengoku looked scared when WB mentioned someone would find One Piece.
Back on topic
One thing I notice you keep mentioning is that WB didn't know of Ace's existence before he came into the Grand Line. And it's true, he didn't. But how does that go against WB wanting to make Ace PK? I mean:
-WB has been waiting for one carrying the Will of D to come (which most likely is the will to overthrow the Celestial Dragons, void period, that kinda stuff).
-Ace carry's the name D. Which is why even before Ace revealed his identity as Rogers's son, WB recruited him. I mean seriously, why else would WB be so persistant with keeping Ace on his ship when the guy kept trying to assassinate him.
-WB was said to be inactive in the last few years, which are the few years after he recruited Ace. If he had been totally inactive over the decades, who would still know of him? Don't forget, the people who were talking weren't old people, they were middle aged to young.
-WB was the one who started the taking over islands thing. He protected islands all around the grand line and new world with just his name. He made a difference to so many people's lives. How is that a waste?
-WB was only taking over islands in trouble, in need of help from pirates that were brought out through Roger's words. He was continuing Roger's will in a way. The reason that he doesn't have total control over the sea's, one could argue, is because unlike Big Mom and possibly Kaidou, he didn't force those island/countries under him. Places like Alabastra B.C (before Croc) were peaceful places, with a fair government and a strong justice system. Those places didn't need his help so he didn't offer it.
-WB didn't want to take over all the sea's and islands, it's not his job, it's the job of the D's.
-As mentioned in my previous post, WB went to the war ready to die. He went to save Ace. He went to end his era. HE DIDN'T' GO TO WIPE OUT THE WG. He knows that if he did so, the world would go under havoc. Don't forget that he protects only ¼ of the NW, but the WG protects all islands on all 4 seas, the grand line and the NW. There may be some corrupt Marines going around the majority are there for justice. Not to mention his death would have been insignificant by comparison if Ace had survived and became Captain, like he had originally planned (reason stated/proven in previous post).
So basically put, in the past 15 years or so, B.A (before Ace), WB was carrying out Roger's will. He was protecting islands that needed protection. He was waiting for a D carrier to come out (other than BB who then seemed unambitious).
When Ace came out, he instantly recruited him, because he was a D carrier. And when he learnt of Ace's bloodline, he made preps to push Ace to become PK.
WB never had any intent on taking out the WG because he knew it would bring more chaos into the world that anything else.
All his plans went down the sink because Ace was stupid, luckily he had Luffy as a backup.
God this is getting long again.

This afternoon I attended the RootsMagic Webinar, Getting Started with RootsMagic. Although it was a basic overview I still learned a few tricks that I didn't know. Now I am looking forward to the more advanced webinars that will be offered. The webinar is available online for download if you would like to view it. The next webinar offered by RootsMagic will be Publishing a Family History on January 11th. An important webinar coming up will by the Sources, Citations and Documentation on on February 4th - I would sign up soon since several webinars are all ready full.
Thomas MacEntee left a message on my blog that he will be teaching a Build a Research Toolbox webinar for Legacy Family Tree on April 6, 2011 at 1pm CST. Check LegacyFamilyTree website for signups in the near future. I have never attended a conference class or webinar that Thomas hasn't taught this girl a new trick or two.
I had also planned to attend the RootsMagic group at UMC this afternoon but decided not to go after learning of the shooting of Gabby Giffords, Judge Roll and others in the northwest area of Tucson. Many of the injured were flown to UMC and I was sure the hospital didn't need any additional folks around with all the news vehicles and added security around the hospital. I would like to offer my prayers for everyone effected by the shooting this morning. The legal community has lost a wonderful judge with the passing of John Roll. It is scary when things hit so close to home

A theatre-style lecture hall provides space for art history, visiting artist lectures, and video/film presentations. The Jundt Art Museum provides collection, storage and exhibit areas for Gonzaga University's permanent art collection and changing exhibits of local, regional, national, and international artwork. The museum also maintains a print study room for student, faculty and community use and provides a lounge overlooking the Spokane River for art receptions and related activities.

Stocks in North Asian markets edged higher Tuesday as the region recovered from a bruising start to the year, though yen strength continued to weigh on Japanese shares.
Hong Kong's Hang Seng Index HSI, +0.47% and China's Shanghai Composite SHCOMP, +1.18% both rose 0.1%, while Korea's Kospi Composite SEU, +0.18% gained 0.3%. Japan's Nikkei Average NIK, +0.09% lost 0.6%, reflecting the yen's USDJPY, +0.28% strength against the dollar on Monday.
The greenback recovered slightly to ¥104.55 Tuesday afternoon in Asia, compared with ¥104.21 late Monday in New York.
For ex-Japan markets, the small gains marked a turnaround after losses in the year to date. Benchmark indexes in Hong Kong, China and Korea are down 2.6%, 3.2% and 2.6% so far this year.
Still, some Chinese banking stocks were under pressure after China's cabinet drafted a framework to tighten the oversight of rapidly increasing shadow-banking industry. The move suggests that Beijing is looking to control a rapid buildup of debt in recent years, weighing on the banking sector.
China Construction Bank 0939, +0.00% CICHF, +1.89% lost 0.6% % in Hong Kong, and China Minsheng Banking Corp. 1988, +0.78% CMAKY, +4.66% fell 1.1%.
China's weak start to the year comes amid disappointing economic data relating to activity in both manufacturing and services, compounded by the resumption of domestic initial public offerings.
More economic data are on the way from China, with trade numbers due on Wednesday and inflation figures on Thursday.

Its shares fell 0.2%, bringing declines since the start of the year to almost 5%.
The South Korean electronics giant, which faces slowing momentum in smartphone sales and increased competition, expects to report a 3.8% to 8.4% decline in fourth-quarter operating profit later this month.
