UPDATE – Gas Line Repaired in Florence – Eastside Highway Reopened [AUDIO]
UPDATE 2:00 P.M. Tuesday, January 14
Crews from Northwestern Energy quickly repaired a two-inch gas line that had been ruptured by a crew doing excavation work in a field just off the Eastside Highway in Florence.
Company spokesman Butch Larcombe said that the construction company had taken all the necessary steps to determine if there were any gas lines buried in the area, but the line they encountered was not on any of the company's documents, so the crew was not liable for the repairs.
Larcombe said the adjoining restaurant, Cafe Firenze, was evacuated for only about 45 minutes, while he said the Eastside Highway was reopened after only about an hour. No one was injured in the mishap.
Just before 11 a.m. on Tuesday, January 14, a construction crew accidentally punctured a natural gas line that runs along the Eastside Highway in Florence, leading to the evacuation of a local restaurant, and the closure of the highway.
Assistant Fire Chief with the Florence Fire Department, Tom Martin, said the crew was working on the power lines along the highway in conjunction with road construction when the accident occurred.
"What we heard was that an inch and a half gas line was punctured, and the Eastside Highway here in Florence is completely blocked off because it runs right along the highway," Martin said. "Northwestern Energy just got on scene right now, and they're working with our team to make a plan to get the gas shut off and the highway reopened."
Martin said the Café Firenze was the only structure to be evacuated, because it was right alongside where the break occurred.
"We've been working with law enforcement to get the highway blocked off and keep the people away from the area until Northwestern Energy could get there."
Martin said he was not aware of any injuries related to the incident.

Philip Donie Hall, born October 2, 1940 to Leo and Virginia Hall of Groves, TX, passed away April 19, 2014 in Cottonwood, AZ.
He graduated from Port Naches-Groves High School in 1958, where he played the saxophone in the marching band and the symphony. He joined the Marine Corps Reserves at the age of 17, where he served three years.
He received a B.S. in Political Science from Lamar University in Beaumont, TX in 1963. While a student, he married Nancy Nunnally and had a son, Philip Donie Hall, Jr.
Phil wore many hats during his life. After college, he worked for New York Life Insurance in New Orleans and Kansas City before heading off for adventures in Mexico and the west. On his return to the States, he went to Colorado to work on a ranch in Old Snowmass. He met Linda Johnson and had two children, John and Shyela. He lived with his family in Crested Butte for over 20 years, where Phil formed a tree planting company known as Rocky Mountain Trees.
In the years Phil lived in Crested Butte, he was instrumental in the forward movement of developing the EMS program and brought Advanced Life Support to the Crested Butte and was the first paramedic in the county.
He moved from Crested Butte to Bluff, UT in 1991, where he spent the next 15 years. He worked for Wild Rivers Expeditions and eventually started a Lefty's Shuttle Service and also founded a newspaper The Canyon Echo.
Phil received a Governor of Utah's Award for Excellence for a series of articles on the history of the Four Corners region.

He met Anna Schrenk in Bluff and moved to Oceanside, CA in 2007 where they worked on post fire rehabilitation projects and sailed. They married in May, 2010 in 29 Palms surrounded by family and friends. They began their life on the water that year, spending two years in the Gulf of California.
In 2012, they moved to Arizona to manage a program to remove non-native plant species from the Verde River watershed. Phil's dream was to sail through the Panama Canal to the Atlantic starting this fall. This dream was cut short by his untimely death.
Phil leaves behind his wife Anna, children Donie, John and Shyela, grandchildren Summer, Lily, Avery, Owen, and Spencer, brother Les, sister Barbara, a large extended family and countless friends.

Chestnut Hill novelist Justin Kramon will visit the Chestnut Hill Library, 8711 Germantown Ave., on Wednesday, Dec. 8, 7:30 to 9 p.m., to discuss his critically-acclaimed debut novel, "Finny," which was published by Random House in July. Kramon, 30, will also offer tips and experiences for writers trying to publish their first novels or stories, and answer questions from the audience.
The event is free and open to the public. Discounted copies of "Finny" will be available for purchase at the event. Kramon will sign and personalize all copies.
Kramon's novel has received rave reviews in many papers across the U.S. and internationally. The New York Times featured his book in their July fiction round-up, and "Finny" made summer reading lists across the country. Reviewer Louise Leetch summed up her feeling about the book by saying, "It is a super summer book; buy it as a beach book or a rainy day book, but buy it."
A review in the Baltimore Sun declared: "Combining the human panoply of 'David Copperfield' with the cutting colloquial wisdom of 'Catcher in the Rye,' 'Finny' is the rare authentic coming-of-age novel." The Boston Globe insisted that "Kramon is a talented young author, and 'Finny' a worthy read, and a dickens of a first novel." Philadelphia's own City Paper ran a review stating that "Finny" is "the most refreshing summer novel I've read in a long time."
An internet review by a Stephanie Harrison that is entitled "Memorable heroine marks young author's debut" states in part: "Through it all, readers will be captivated by Finny (who is 14) as she grapples with finding her place in the world and learning to accept herself, flaws and all … In the pages of 'Finny,' Kramon captures the difficult transition from girlhood to womanhood with remarkable tenderness and insight. The warmth with which he infuses the narrative is one of the novel's strongest elements, and there is a real vitality that hums through its pages. Without a doubt, Finny is the perfect coming-of-age read for those who are eternally young at heart."
Kramon, a graduate of Swarthmore College with an M.A. in Fiction from the University of Iowa, has given seminars for aspiring writers across the country, and he has taught at the Gotham Writers' Workshop in New York, the largest writing program in the country. He has also won six prestigious awards and fellowships, including one in Scotland and one in Italy.
After an exhausting 20-city book tour, Kramon is delighted to be talking to an audience in his new home of Chestnut Hill. Kramon has lived in Chestnut Hill with his fiancee, Lynn Trieu, also 30, since the summer of 2009. (Lynn was born in Vietnam but grew up in San Diego.) "We moved to Philadelphia because Lynn was doing a residency at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry while I was editing my book," he told us last week. Lynn is now teaching half-time at the Pennsylvania College of Optometry, and she's also working in a private optometry practice in Plymouth Meeting.
"We moved to Chestnut Hill because, of all the areas that were convenient to Lynn's work, Chestnut Hill offered the most for us. I have a great quiet space for writing, I can walk up the street and get fresh fish and vegetables at the Top of the Hill Market, and since I travel a lot for book events, it's great for me to have the SEPTA train so close by and such convenient access to Center City. I also love walking, and there are so many nice places to walk with the Wissahickon so close by."
Kramon, who was born and raised in Baltimore, was asked about the extraordinarily flattering comparison by one reviewer between "Finny" and "Catcher in the Rye." He told us, "I agree that 'Catcher in the Rye' is a special book. I love it, too. People are a little harder on that book now, I think, but I re-read it a couple years ago and still found it very funny and moving. I think my book is actually more similar to older-fashioned coming-of-age stories — Dickens or Hardy — but of course I'm happy with a 'Catcher' comparison, if that's what the reviewer felt.
"I've been very gratified by the reviews of Finny. I'm a person who generally expects the worst, so it's been a pleasant surprise to have the book so well-received. The best thing for me is that people are enjoying reading it. I wanted the book to be engaging and funny and moving, and it's nice to know I wasn't too off-base."

The impending end of summer means a lot of things to a lot of people, but for Denver-area artists, one thing that many of us look forward to is the Colorado Plein Air Festival (formerly the Denver Plein Air Festival). It's an organized but increasingly broad event in which artists paint outdoors throughout the area, culminating in a juried show and competition in the fall. I have participated only peripherally in past years, but have been dedicated to bei more involved this year. So far I've been painting at the Capitol, on Lookout Mountain, at Red Rocks, in Leadville, and at the buffalo herd overlook at Genesee Park. I have eleven paintings to show for it – all on iPad, all using Paper by 53. With school starting next week, it's going to be hard to maintain that pace, but I'm happy to be where I am and already have a few worthy of submitting for the competition. Here are some of my favorites.

Vanderbilt University Partners With Chinese Government to Reduce HIV in Gay Men
June 13, 2011
Vanderbilt University researchers are working on a new study that aims to bring HIV testing and care to men who have sex with men (MSM) in China.
Sten Vermund, M.D., Ph.D., director of the Vanderbilt Institute for Global Health, is the project's principal investigator. The study will develop and pilot test a package of Test and Link-to-Care (TLC) interventions in Beijing. The project is being supported by a four-year, $2 million Methods for Prevention Packages Program grant from the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. Han-Zhu Qian, M.D., Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine at the university's Epidemiology Center and a VIGH faculty member, is TLC's program director.
TLC aims to provide outreach, education, and testing services to 50,000 MSM, the group that represents the largest number of HIV cases in China. Short text messages and social networking sites will encourage the men to get tested. Those who test positive will be linked to clinics or programs for care and treatment.
"If found to be successful, TLC will provide us with additional means to prevent HIV by reducing an individual's level of infectiousness to others," said Vermund. "We expect this method will reduce transmission and save lives."
TLC will work with China's National Center for AIDS/STD Control and Prevention, China's Centers for Disease Control and the Chaoyang Chinese AIDS Volunteer Group. The University of Connecticut and the Virginia Commonwealth University School of Medicine also will participate in the study. If successful, TLC could become a multi-site, randomized clinical trial involving up to a dozen cities in China.

There's no off season when it comes to grime, dirt and microorganisms, so shouldn't you be sure you have something to fight them day in, day out? Dr. Doormat introduces the first antimicrobial treated doormat which starts to disable odors from microorganisms (bacteria, fungus and mold) on the mat on contact.
Think about all the places those shoes have gone in the course of a day. Now when you get home what do you do? Walk inside on your carpet, hardwood floors, all over the house bringing all of those unwelcome guests inside. Wiping your shoes thoroughly (at least twice) on the bubble pattern (which acts like scrubbing brushes) can effectively remove up to 90% of the dirt and debris. Here's how it works, the microbes are negatively charged single cell living organisms, while the antimicrobial treatment on the doormat is positively charged. The positively charged surface of the doormat creates a biostatic barrier that attracts the microbe like a magnet. The antimicrobial treatment for each doormat is infused into the yarn and thus it cannot be tracked throughout your home. Now, you may say "I already have a doormat so why do I need this one?" A common doormat acts as a reservoir where bacteria and microbes can collect and grow. Every time you step on your common mat to wipe, you're wiping off and inviting those unwelcome guests to hitch a ride inside.
This small antimicrobial treated doormat measures 24"x 18"x 3/8" and comes in 3 other color options which are Peacock Blue, Chocolate Brown and Charcoal Gray. While being great for front door use this mat has a plethora of other uses such as putting under a litter box so your cat walks on it after going to the bathroom or under the trashcan in the kitchen to catch any falling debris. Care instructions for Dr. Doormat: Simply shake outside, vacuum, hose down use mild detergent and hang to dry. The doormat will maintain its efficacy for up to 20 washes.
The antimicrobial treated doormat is also an eco-friendly, environmentally conscious product. Each mat from Dr. Doormat uses yarn woven from recycled and virgin raw material. This doormat also takes 100% of all scrap materials not used in production and incorporates them into yarn so that nothing goes to waste. The antimicrobial treatment used is non-leaching and biodegradable. The rubber backing of the Dr. Doormat is made from a blend of natural and recycled rubber and manufactured in the United States. Each mat has a 2 year manufacturer's warranty.

After the war my aunt Jerry's husband Charles got out of the navy and they came back to the farm and decided to dairy. When I was a wee tyke they milked the cows in this shed. Charles died in 1960, the dairying ended, and about twenty years ago he shed finally collapsed.
Many years ago I noticed this old frame in the shed, but never pulled it out to have a look until this morning.
Daisy was so excited by this find that she insisted on posing with it.
The long carriage bolts and the cut off running board bracket suggest to me that this was probably used as a farm wagon.
Here are some other views. From what the encyclopedia says, I'm thinking this is a 1925 frame. Am I thinking right?
I'm thinking of using this frame when I build my model T trailer. After all, it already has a trailer hitch.
Looks just like my mid twenties farm wagon frame - except straighter. I could use the E brake quadrant if its for sale.
Yes Steve, 1925 frame.
John, you don't want this quadrant.
Thanks for close up Steve - looks used up, doesn't it!
Here is the interesting part with the quadrant.
It's a 2 hole '26-'27 style on a '25 or earlier frame...notice the two inside holes? Those would be for the earler style 4 hole type.
I guess this brake quadrant was replaced with the latter style some time when the car was still on the road?
Other ideas?
The brake quadrant is likely original - from the encyclopedia: http://www.mtfca.com/encyclo/C-D.htm#Chassis1
"During 1925 the brake lever quadrant was modified. Instead of four rivets holding it to the frame, only two were now used."
So it may have been some time when both types were used, so the four holes in the frame stayed until all quadrants were of the two rivet style.
The encyclopedia says:
In 1925 the hand-brake quadrant was changed. The previous quadrants were held with four rivets while the new one was held with just two. The two-rivet type continued until the end of Model T production.
So the four holes indicate a frame before 1925. There are also holes for a battery carrier, best seen behind the running board bracket in the fourth picture, which means 1919 or later. So I guess the answer is 1919-1924. Or was this one of those "using up the old parts" deals � a 1919-1924 frame used in an early 1925 car? The mystery continues.
Roger types faster than I do.
I think you are right. But I still can't believe Henry would have drilled those extra holes! They cost money.
All those holes were probably punched at the same time, so no real cost involved. They probably kept the four holes in the frame until they knew all the old quadrants were used up and only new ones in stock. Then it would be safe to remove the punches from the tooling. Just a guess, based on my manufacturing experiences.
According to Larry Smith's article on 25's in the May/June 2009 VF magazine, the "'26-7 style" two-hole quadrant was used beginning in the '25 model year, but the frames still had the 4 holes. As Had said, they were set up to punch them, so they just continued doing it the same way they had been until the frames needed other changes for the '26 models. Henry did save two rivets on each car, though!
Have me convinced.
Looks like a '25 frame for sure.
Remember that others supplied the frames and there was allways a stock pile sitting there, Henry would use them all up before the new design ( two hole) would arrive. That time frame
may not be documented anywhere.
It's an early '25 frame. They are not uncommon, but if I was to build a real early '25, perhaps made in '24, this is the frame I'd be looking for.
Just a comment on extra holes. It seems that nearly half the frames I have owned had holes for both the earlier forged running board brackets and the later pressed steel brackets. Most of them had the earlier forged brackets originally even though they were drilled for the newer brackets also. I have had at least five like that. I think I still have one or two.
I would expect the same to happen for a little while with the brake quadrant also.
Thanks to all.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2
Looked at mine this weekend - just the two holes for the quadrant, but no serial number. Has the identical rear crossmember as the photos Steve posted above. Must be a bit later.

|Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) of Selected Foods, Release 2 (2010)
In 2012 USDA's Nutrient Data Laboratory (NDL) removed the USDA ORAC Database for Selected Foods from the NDL website due to mounting evidence that the values indicating antioxidant capacity have no relevance to the effects of specific bioactive compounds, including polyphenols on human health.
There are a number of bioactive compounds which are theorized to have a role in preventing or ameliorating various chronic diseases such as cancer, coronary vascular disease, Alzheimer's, and diabetes. However, the associated metabolic pathways are not completely understood and non-antioxidant mechanisms, still undefined, may be responsible. ORAC values are routinely misused by food and dietary supplement manufacturing companies to promote their products and by consumers to guide their food and dietary supplement choices.
A number of chemical techniques, of which Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) is, one, were developed in an attempt to measure the antioxidant capacity of foods. The ORAC assay measures the degree of inhibition of peroxy-radical-induced oxidation by the compounds of interest in a chemical milieu. It measures the value as Trolox equivalents and includes both inhibition time and the extent of inhibition of oxidation. Some newer versions of the ORAC assay use other substrates and results among the various ORAC assays are not comparable. In addition to the ORAC assay, other measures of antioxidant capacity include ferric ion reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and trolox equivalence antioxidant capacity (TEAC) assays. These assays are based on discrete underlying mechanisms that use different radical or oxidant sources and therefore generate distinct values and cannot be compared directly.
There is no evidence that the beneficial effects of polyphenol-rich foods can be attributed to the antioxidant properties of these foods. The data for antioxidant capacity of foods generated by in vitro (test-tube) methods cannot be extrapolated to in vivo (human) effects and the clinical trials to test benefits of dietary antioxidants have produced mixed results. We know now that antioxidant molecules in food have a wide range of functions, many of which are unrelated to the ability to absorb free radicals.
For these reasons the ORAC table, previously available on this web site has been withdrawn.

The Newport Harbor High School girls' volleyball program, which has produced the likes of Olympians Misty May-Treanor and April Ross, held a fashion show fundraiser Sunday at the Hidden Jewel Boutique and Gift Shop in Costa Mesa. The fashion show was co-hosted by Newport Beach's Antonia Shoe Boutique.
"Everybody was very generous and very kind," Event organizer Evelyn Yardley said. "It was pretty exciting, and the girls had a great time."
Senior and junior players modeled looks from designers like VeronicaM and Charlie Jade, while guests ate snacks donated by a number of local eateries, including Whole Foods Market, Nothing Bundt Cake and French's Cupcake Bakery.
Yardley said about 110 people turned out, raising about $4,000, minus about $500 in expenses. She said funds will be used for team equipment and for tournament trips.
"This was the first time we've done this," Yardley said, adding that she only started going "door to door" asking businesses for support in late August. "Next year, we're going to step it up."
Newport Harbor's volleyball program has won five state championships, the most of any public school, and eight California Interscholastic Federation championships, under Coach Danny Glenn.

D. Wade Over 23 points -125
I like D. wade to come out more aggressive in game 2. He only took 13 shots, which is 4 shots below his average, in game 1 and finished with 19 points. D. Wade missed a good bit of April with nagging injuries and the Heat should see this opportunity, Shump being out, as a good chance to get D. Wade going. The Heat will need Wade and Lebron to be on top of their game to make a championship push.
smaller play
Lebron over 6.5 assists +125
I expect D. wade to score more tonight and I expect some of these points to be the result of passes from Lebron. Lebron ended game 1 with only 3 assists but it seemed like every time he hit the corner for an open three it resulted in a brick. He should have no problem hitting 7 assists if he can get 2 extra buckets from Wade and 2 from 3's.
D-WADE Prop..
Took it this morning, Schumpert is the only one that could gaurd him and now he is out D-Wade should be able to get some clean looks...
D-WADE with that last lay up got us to 25...

Top Food and Beverage Companies for 2008: Succeeding in a Difficult Year
Tyson returns to the top, PepsiCo, Nestle turn in stellar years in our annual ranking of the largest food and beverage companies in the U.S. and Canada.
In a testament to management and to the hard work of thousands of employees, most of our Top 100© food companies turned in respectable years in 2007. Despite all the grousing over how tough the past year was, all of our Top 10 companies saw sales increases, and seven out of the 10 improved profits as well.
Much as we try not to turn this into a footrace each year, it's difficult not to acknowledge the shuffling of the top three finishers on our list and the remarkable sprint of the North American operations of No. 4 Nestle.
Tyson Foods returned to the No. 1 position, which it held in our 2005 and 2006 reports. More importantly, the big animal protein company erased a $196 million loss in its fiscal 2006. PepsiCo had such a good 2007 (sales up 10.4 percent) that it leapfrogged Kraft into the No. 2 spot.
While the U.S. and Canadian operations of Nestle remained in fourth, the position those divisions have held for several years, the North American chunk of the world's biggest food company recorded a 12.6 percent sales increase.
Kraft in various incarnations had been the U.S. and Canada's biggest food and beverage company for the first 30 years of this annual report. In its first full year of independence from Philip Morris Cos., the Northfield, Ill.-based packaged foods company performed admirably. Despite some divestitures, Kraft's U.S. and Canadian-based sales rose 3.5 percent in 2007, and overall, global sales rose 8.4 percent. Net earnings were down 15.4 percent, however.
After a disappointing fiscal 2006, in which it suffered a $196 million loss, Tyson came back strong in its fiscal 2007. "Tyson had an outstanding turnaround in 2007," with sales up 9.5 percent, President/CEO Richard Bond wrote in the company's annual report. "Following one of the most challenging years in the company's history, we are back on solid footing and on track to achieve our long-term goals."
At PepsiCo, "What makes me particularly proud is that our 2007 performance was strong — not just measured by these short-term metrics — but also with the long-term equally in mind," wrote Chairman/CEO Indra Nooyi. "We increased capital expenditures in plant and equipment worldwide … We added several tuck-in acquisitions in key markets and segments … We created the chief scientific officer position to ensure our technical capabilities … We funded incremental investment to explore breakthrough R&D opportunities … We maintained focus on building next-generation IT capabilities."
Nestle, especially in North America but also worldwide, was aided by the 2007 acquisition of baby-food company Gerber, bought from Novartis AG. But it wasn't all based on acquisitions. "The Food, Beverages and Nutrition business, with … an increase of 9.2 percent, was the main contributor to growth," said the company's annual report. "It achieved organic growth of 7.1 percent, with real internal growth of 4 percent and pricing of 3.1 percent. This relatively high level of pricing, compared with recent years, reflects our success in passing on raw material cost pressures and is a testament to the strength of our brands."
The biggest growth (17.1 percent) of any of our top 10 companies belongs to Dean Foods. The Dallas-based company became the biggest fluid milk supplier in the world by acquisitions, and it made a big one in early 2007: Friendship Dairies, one of the largest dairies in the northeastern U.S. But raw milk prices rose faster than sales, and every consumer knows what happened to milk prices. Raw milk prices in the second half of 2007 averaged more than 80 percent higher than in the prior year, so it was no surprise that Dean's sales soared even as profits dipped -- for the second year in a row.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Boris Epshteyn formerly served as a Senior Advisor to the Trump Campaign and served in the White House as Special Assistant to The President and Assistant Communications Director for Surrogate Operations.
WASHINGTON (Sinclair Broadcast Group) - We have all seen Republican Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore be tried in the court of public opinion over the last month.
There is no issue with that, as long as the same standards apply to Democrat candidates and elected officials.
That has not been the case with Congressman John Conyers.
Congressman Conyers faces multiple accusations of sexual harassment and has admitted to making improper settlement payments to staff.
Democrat Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said the following on NBC's Meet the Press about John Conyers:
"We are strengthened by due process. Just because someone is accused -- and is it one accusation, is it two? I think there has to be -- John Conyers is an icon in our country. He's done a great deal to protect women."
The minority leader struck a very different tone on Roy Moore during the same interview.
Pelosi: "No, but we are talking about a child molester. This is—"
Chuck Todd: "Okay, but –"
Pelosi: "We're talking about a child molester."
Yes, Leader Pelosi has tried to clean her comments up since Sunday but her initial reaction is clear – protect the Democrat at all costs.
This is outdated thinking by Nancy Pelosi, the same approach which saw the Democrats close ranks around Bill Clinton since the 1990s.
Here is the bottom line: furiously condemning representatives of the opposing party while coddling your own is the same old Washington, D.C. politics as usual. Americans stated in the 2016 election, and polling continues to show, that they will no longer tolerate the very double speak which the minority leader has gotten so good at.

A new line of small to mid-size farm tractors will be introduced at the Sunbelt Agricultural Exposition, Moultrie, Ga, Oct. 19-21, 2004, under the brand name Montana Tractors.
Montana Tractors are a new breed of rugged, reliable workhorses capable of meeting a variety of job needs from small farming chores to commercial landscaping and grounds maintenance, to utility and construction site tasks.
"These new tractors are really an intelligent buy," says Rodney Miller, CEO of Montana Tractors. "They offer rugged, reliable performance, but they also offer economy. In fact, 'pound for pound,' they might just be the best buy on the market right now. That means they will provide customers a great opportunity to own 'new' instead of having to buy 'used.'"
Montana Tractors are available in seven Compact 4-wheel-drive (4WD) models ranging from 27 to 45-horsepower; and three "VIP" models, offering a choice of 2-wheel-drive or 4-wheel-drive, ranging from 43 to 57-horsepower. The larger VIP lineup offers a choice of open station with ROPS or a "Big Sky" wrap-around, high-visibility cab. Plus, two of the Compact models feature infinite speed hydrostatic transmissions.
All Montana Tractors feature compact, ergonomic design for handling and operating ease, and mechanical 4-wheel-drive for extra traction and pulling power, and include the following features standard:
4-cylinder Mitsubishi or 3-cylinder Daedong diesel engines; water cooled, fuel injected for fuel efficiency and quiet operation.
8×8, 12×12 or 16×16 Synchromesh Shuttle Transmissions offer easy forward/reverse for loader applications; two infinite speed hydrostatic models available.
Independent 540 rpm PTOs.
Remote hydraulics standard on all models.
Unmatched visibility with "Big Sky" cab available on 43 to 57 HP VIP line.
3 Year Warranty.
Montana Tractors are manufactured in South Korea by LG Cable, a manufacturer of electronic equipment, home appliances, and industrial equipment in addition to the line of 27 to 57 horsepower tractors. Final assembly takes place at the headquarters facility in Springdale, Ark., where all units are given a thorough inspection and pre-tested before delivery to dealers.
To tap into and service the various markets of interest in the U.S., Montana Tractors already has 90 dealers in 26 states and expects to expand to 40 states within the next year. Plans are to have a national dealer network in place within two years.
"Dealers will be key to our success," adds Miller. "We are seeking dealers who know their local customers well and are committed to meeting their needs by providing a rugged, quality product with excellent pricing structure backed by outstanding service."
For more information, contact Montana Tractors, 2737 N. Thompson, Springdale, Ark. 72764, phone (479) 872-2020 or visit www.montanatractors.com.

A federal judge has ordered Tim Cook to give a deposition as part of the US Justice Department's lawsuit over ebook pricing. The government has been limited to deposing Cook for four hours. Executives from the companies involved in the suit have already testified, with Cook being the sole exception. Prior to the order, Apple's lawyers had tried to argue that deposing Cook could be harmful to Apple's business.
Orin Snyder, a lawyer at Gibson Dunn & Crutcher LLP who is representing Apple, said in a March 11 letter that questioning Cook would "threaten disruption of Apple's business" and "serve as a potent tool for harassment." He also said the government's assertions about Cook's knowledge and role in the matter were "speculative."
Senior Vice President of Internet Software and Services Eddy Cue was deposed on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. During the deposition, Cue apparently said that Cook had knowledge regarding Apple's ebook pricing strategy. Apple and the major publishers settled a similar case with European Union regulators towards the end of last year.

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A prosecutor says the captain of the South Korean ferry that sank two days ago has been arrested.
Senior prosecutor Yang Jung-jin Yonhap says 68-year-old Lee Joon-seok and the crew members were detained early Saturday.
The ship, the Sewol, sank Wednesday, leaving hundreds missing and feared dead.
The investigation into the disaster has focused on the ferry's sharp turn before it started listing, and on whether a quicker evacuation order by the captain could have saved lives. Investigators also were determining whether the captain had abandoned the ship.
Rescuers are searching for about 270 people still missing and feared dead.
At least 28 bodies have been recovered. Officials said there were 179 survivors and about 270 people remain missing, many of them high school students.

HELP and CONTACT
Product code:
Delivery by: 28.03.2019
Each t-shirt is produced separately and hand-batiked, which can cause deviation in the sizes shown in the table. The difference in size is ± 5% for the width and ± 7% for length.
How do the T-shirts fit? Our T-shirts have a looser fit and may be about a half-one size bigger. We recommend to do the measurement at home or to choose a smaller size than you wear normally. In case you wear size S, you can even consider buying children's XL size (children's collection can be found here).
Can I exchange the product for another size? Of course, if anything does not fit right, feel free to return or exchange it for another size.
Most manufacturers use petrol (plastic) inks which stick to the surface of the T-shirts. These inks create a rough surface and contain toxic phthalates. But our T-shirts are different! They are printed with the finest water-based inks, which guarantee a beautiful 3D effect. The colour is spread directly onto the fibres, so it doesn't wash off.
Our shirts are made of 100% pre-washed cotton (even the fiber holding the T-shirt together is cotton). If you follow the washing instructions (cold water, 30ºC) not only the T-shirt keeps its original proportions, but the motif lasts for many years.
The Mountain products have 100% Oekotex certificate (one of the highest standards in the world) which guarantees that the T-shirts don't contain any chemicals harmful to the human body.
Our T-shirts are printed with water-based colours and inks which are enviromentally friendly. All manufacturing processes ensure the protection of our Earth, air and water.

From publisher blurb:
This Product is a full color set of three 24 x 30 inch, floorplans of an Observatory.
It comes with Square, Hex and No Ovelays and includes the VTT (Virtual Table Top Images for online play).
Game Masters need quality maps for their miniatures. DramaScape™ is committed to bringing Game Masters the maps they need.
The Observatory includes a mystic's observatory tower with first and second floor and a roof with a telescope. The entrance to the tower is the front door in the southeast on the first floor. The first floor has an intricate pattern of runes in concentric circles around the center armillary sphere with its lower half visible.
The second floor has a pattern of wooden planks arranged in a hexagonal manner around the center armillary sphere with its upper half visible.
The roof has a telescope that can be moved up and down and left and right by two different gear systems.
One adventure with The Observatory could be the Player Characters find a treasure map that leads to an old tower on an adventure or perhaps sold to them in a local village. The treasure map indicates that the treasure is on the first floor, but that the telescope must be properly aligned first, and then the armillary sphere activated.
The first step is getting to the roof and aligning the telescope. The runes on the roof can be used for the first puzzle. Many of them are shaped like arrows, and if the Player Characters turn the gears toward them and in the proper way up or down, the puzzle might be solved. For example, the treasure map could indicate that the bow and arrow like rune in the southwest is the key rune. So the telescope needs to be pointed to the northeast with an angle up of approximated 30 degrees.
If the Player Characters think to look, they can note that the telescope is facing a certain celestial body such as Mars when they are finished aligning it. The second step is activating the armillary sphere, which is a puzzle on the first floor. For example, the Player Characters need to move all the furniture out of the second outermost ring to the wall, and then must stand on the circles from where they had moved the furniture.
Once they accomplish these two tasks, the armillary sphere whirls to life and moves faster and faster until suddenly a portal appears. From the portal could step out a demon, devil, trans-dimensional horror, alien, or any other being the Game Master would like. The creature may offer them treasure to fool them into letting their guard down, but had no intention of giving them anything.
The creature needs to kill the Player Characters. Only their blood smeared on the pattern of the twelve red runes on the floor can break the seal that has kept it in this place for millennia. Once the creature is defeated, the armillary sphere stops spinning and shatters revealing stairs underneath it that lead to a lower level. This lower level could be filled with traps and more puzzles but at the end is the treasure.

This classroom activity presents College Algebra students with a ConcepTest and a Question of the Day activity concerning the effect of the initial value, C, on the y-intercept and position of an exponential graph where C<0 and k is an arbitrarily fixed value in f(x)=Ce^(kx).
While students may have learned that the initial value affects the shape of a exponential curve, most do not realize exactly how or that it also affects the position of the y-intercept. Analyzing the effects requires some effort on the students' part but the results are rewarding.
Learning Goals
To enable students to:
- develop their understanding of the effects of the initial value in an exponential function
- exercise their mathematical intuition and verify it via appropriate calculations
- exercise the skills of algebraic and mathematical analysis
Context for Use
The activity is comprised of three segments: ConcepTest, Question of the Day and Conclusion, involving the use of a demonstration applet. The time required for the entire activity is approximately 25 minutes but fewer segments can be offered as a shorter alternative (see Activity Description below for individual segment times).
Description and Teaching Materials
Activity Description and Teaching Materials
- Instructor presents a ConcepTest (Rich Text File 82kB Aug19 10) in the form of a straw poll (either show-of-hands or written) concerning the effect of increasing the initial value, C, on the position of the y-intercept and the position of the graph with regard to quadrants. Each student is asked to make a conjecture and the instructor records the results for the class to see. (~5 minutes)
- After the straw poll, the question becomes the Question of the Day (Rich Text File 79kB Aug19 10) and students work in pairs to share and explain their reasoning in written form. (~10 minutes)
- In conclusion, the instructor presents a classroom demo involving a Java applet that quickly and easily demonstrates the effects of changing the initial value in an exponential function.
In addition, the instructor ensures that students understand the algebraic and mathematical analysis involved and clearly explains the reasons for the effects. (~10 minutes)
Teaching Notes and Tips
References and Resources
This applet allows the user to change the initial value and the proportionality constant of an exponential function and immediately see the graphical results.
