Best of show: hot products and high tech were the highlights at this year's MINExpo show.
Here are some of the products that Rock Products saw on the show floor.
Atlas Copco
Atlas Copco introduced the Pit Viper 311 wide-range rotary blasthole drill to the world at MINExpo 2012. The PV-311 is designed to meet the demands of today's expanding mining market with the proven systems, components and technology of the Pit Viper series.
The Pit Viper 311 is similar to the Pit Viper 351 with its single-pass drilling but the Pit Viper 311 has the capacity to drill holes deeper to a maximum depth of 125 ft. (38.1 m). Drilling up to 65-ft. (19.8-m) clean holes with a live tower can reduce non-drilling time and, combined with taller benches, can greatly increase production capability.
The Pit Viper 311 is the first release of the all new Pit Viper 310 series. Atlas Copco Engineering Project Manager Iain Peebles said the PV-311 offers a narrow range of hole sizes 9 to 12.25 in., which fills in the gap between the hole ranges of the Pit Viper 351 and the Pit Viper 270.
"We've incorporated a lot of existing technology that's proven successful on our other Pit Viper models," Peebles said, adding that there have been some upgrades. "One of the things we're most excited about on the PV-310 series project is our new cab. Now you have a fully adjustable chair with joystick and cab controls. We've elevated the cab above the deck to give the operator a better view."
The Pit Viper 311 offers drive train options with both Tier 4 and Tier 2 diesel engine alternatives. The tower has an interchangeable unit, structurally similar to the Pit Viper 351, but is deeper to accommodate larger sheaves for either single-pass or multi-pass applications. Weldments have also been improved, including a ladder that provides access to decking in the tower above the rod changer when the tower is horizontal.
Bits can be changed above the Pit Viper 311 rig's deck even while single-pass drilling 65-ft.-deep (19.8-m-deep) holes so operators will have their eyes on making and breaking the connection each and every time.

Boart Longyear
Boart Longyear showed the 10UMX bit, the latest addition to the Ultramatrix (UMX) family of diamond coring bits. The 10UMX is a high-performance diamond coring bit with the freest-cutting matrix available, enabling the bit to penetrate the very hardest rock formations in extreme conditions.
"The 10UMX diamond coring bit completes the product range for our award-winning family of UMX bits, providing a hit for any type of ground condition encountered," said Matt Baird, global product manager for Boart Longyear. "We have tested these bills in all regions of the globe and take great pride in providing drillers the most advanced line of diamond bits in the industry to maximize their productivity."
UMX bits are engineered to outperform existing bit technology in a wide range of drilling conditions and ground formations. UMX bits use advanced metallurgical formulas to provide increased penetration capabilities, turning easily from one ground formation to another. The optimized life of the UMX bits translates to less tripping and increased productivity.
UMX bits also utilize Boart Longyear's patented Stage waterway design. The geometry of these windows sustains the integrity of the bit through the entire life of the bit, allowing for a variety of crown heights including the original 25 mm, providing maximum bit life. The Twin-Taper design dramatically improves surface flushing, forcing debris through the windows while keeping the bit face clear and reinforcing the inner diameter.

Caterpillar introduced the new MD5150 Track Drill, a customer-inspired design that delivers top-of-class power and airflow for fast, efficient drilling of holes up to 6 in. (152 mm) in diameter. Benefiting from more than 50 years of track drill design, the MD5150 incorporates a proven rock drill, patented carousel rod changer, new cab and many other features that boost productivity and reduce operating costs.
The MDS150 dramatically reduces setup time, thanks to its innovative carousel rod changer, the company said. The Cat design holds six rods and accommodates multiple lengths and diameters of drill steel. Powerful dual-rod grippers and a unique gate design let the rod and gate move simultaneously, reducing cycle time.
The rod changer is supported by a sturdy feed and heavy-duty 8-ft. (2.4-m) boom that extends to 11 ft. (3.3 m) for larger pattern coverage with fewer setups. Because the carousel rod changer weighs less and holds more rods than linear models, the boom extension can reach farther and drill deeper while maintaining stability. Holes can be drilled within 24 in. (610 mm) of the highwall, which is 50 percent closer than with a linear rod changer.
High reliability, long life and low ownership costs are hallmarks of the new machine's rock drill. With less than half as many moving parts as competitive rock drills, it is a simple, reliable design that offers dependable performance and exceptional durability. Owners can service the rock drill themselves to reduce downtime and control costs. A new automated lube system keeps the rock drill working productively, eliminating the need to stop the machine for manual greasing every two hours.

Donaldson Co. offered its newest line of high-pressure delivery filters--Bulk hP --designed to filter hydraulic and lube oils during the final transfer into equipment. This new line of filters from Donaldson Clean Fuel & Lubricant Solutions filters fluids being delivered up to 1,000 psi (69 bar).
High-pressure delivery is the process by which piston or diaphragm pumps are used to transport oil, lube and hydraulic fluids from remote storage tank locations into equipment. These pumps operate on compressed air to force fluids through long lengths of piping and hose reels at delivery pressures significantly greater than the original air pressure. These high pressures force fluids through piping and deliver product out of hose reels and into equipment.
Filtering fluids stored in bulk tanks prior to being delivered into equipment is critical to meet the ISO cleanliness specifications demanded by today's Original Equipment Manufacturers. End-users need a filter with high dirt-holding capacity and efficiency, that's also easy to change and dispose of in an environmentally friendly way. Donaldson Bulk hP filters offer:
* Extended Life. DX-2 Media has 50 percent more dirt holding capacity than a filter the same size.
* Easy Disposal. Filter element easily separates from the housing; all-metal cans are 100 percent recyclable and non-metal elements are 100 percent incinerable.
* Heavy Duty Construction. 300 psi/20 bar collapse pressure prevents dirt from passing even under extreme pressure drop conditions.
* Protection for All Applications. Three different micron media options to fit all fluid types and viscosities.

The new KPI-JCI FT300DF track-mounted mushing plant features the quarry-proven Kodiak Plus K300+ cone crusher, offering both maximum crushing performance and exceptional portability.
Capable of producing up to 460 tph, the FT300DF also features a compact design, making the machines easy to transport. The FT300DF's self-contained track drive allows it to be simply driven off the transport trailer and begin crushing immediately, allowing operators to spend time in production instead of site preparation.
"The FT300DF is perfect for customers looking for an extremely heavy-duty, durable machine," said Jeff Lininger, product manager for Johnson Crushers International, Inc. (KPl-JCI). "At the same time, it's incredibly portable, making it easy for producers to quickly relocate as needed."
"The FT300DF can be equipped with an optional recirculating conveyor that allows the plant to be paired with a screening plant, such as the FT6230CC, GT20SS or FT3620, making it a versatile open or closed-circuit crushing system. The plant can also be equipped with an optional bogie system which allows the FT300DF to be hauled behind a tractor without requiring a transport trailer.

The Liebherr L 586 wheel loader on display at M1NExpo features 335 hp (250 kW), an operating weight of 70,000 lb. (31,750 kg) and a tipping load of 43,607 lb. (19,780 kg).
The loader is equipped with a 7.9 cu. yd. (6 cu. m) rehandling bucket. Suitable for quarry, load and CatTy as well as general re-handling and truck loading, the L 586 offers unmatched performance and efficiency. Multiple bucket and machine configuration options are available to suit any application.
Like all Liebherr wheel loaders, the L 586 is exceptionally fuel-efficient. Up to 25 percent less fuel consumption compared to similar equipped competitive machines reduces the customer's overall operating cost and the equipment's environmental impact.
The drive technology is a further optimization of the hydrostatic travel drive. The drive technology is based on one gear with two different sized hydraulic motors, as demand requires, at least one of the hydraulic motors is engaged when accelerating or decelerating; the wheel loader smoothly adapts itself to the required travel speed and drawhar pull automatically--without shifting gears. The result is smooth and productive operation.

Metso's latest development in materials-reduction equipment, the HRC, is a major step in the profitable application of high pressure grinding roll (HPGR) technology. Metso has made several key innovations in order to increase throughput and decrease total cost of operation.
Metso's patented Arch-frame creates an even gap setting across the width of the tires, limiting skewing that can result in downtime for mining operations. This anti-skewing Arch-frame also prevents damage to the roller bearings (caused by misalignment) that can occur with the traditional HPGR design.
Used in place of spring-loaded cheek plates, the flanges keep the bed of material within the crushing zone and prevent material from bypassing the tires. This enables greater circuit capacity and increases the overall crushing efficiency.
In addition, by preventing material from bypassing the tires, even pressure across the width of the tire is better maintained. By distributing the pressure more evenly, the tire life is maximized by preventing a "bath tub effect," in which the center of the tire wears faster than the edges.
Victoria tierman, Metso's product manager for the HRC, notes that this breakthrough design is a response to the growing needs in the mining industry. "Energy efficiency has been attracting our customers to HPGR technology for years," she says. "But (our design concept) increases capacity and crushing efficiency--and that's something mining companies are always looking to improve on."
Other notable benefits of the HRC:
* Hydraulic cylinders are positioned to create a compact design while still providing excellent crushing strength.
* Dust enclosure minimizes dust and reduces noise.
* Transporter facilities a safe and fast tire replacement.
* Feed hopper include liners designed for long life.
* Studded tires maximize tire life by building up an autogenous layer.
The HRC is ideal for high-tonnage, hard rock applications and can be used as a tertiary, quaternary or pebble crusher.

Philippi-Hagenbuch (PHIL) launched its HiVol Lowboy Trailer and Vehicle Recovery Tool (VRT) system during MINExpo 2012.
The two-piece equipment is designed to work independently or together as one integrated system to haul the largest, heaviest off-highway mining equipment quickly, easily and safely. The system is also designed for fast return on investment, typically paying for itself within a year.
The HiVol Lowboy Trailer-VRT combination is the only system that provides the capacity necessary to haul Ultra Class rated equipment, a standard for mining equipment such as drills, loaders and high-capacity shovels. The system offers a hauling capacity of 400 to more titan 2,000 tons, far exceeding the capacity of any other trailer on the market. Whether providing initial transport into file mine pit, relocating a shovel from one pit to another or hauling a piece of downed equipment to the shop for repair, PHIL's system is able to move nearly any piece of mining equipment eliminating the need for multiple vehicles and trailers.
Acting as the intermediary between the haul vehicle and trailer, the VRT is key to allowing up to 22 percent more hauling weight than the trailer alone. The VRT evenly distributes the load over the axles and tires of the VRT, the haul truck and the trailer. By distributing the weight of the load, PHIL's UltraClass Lowboy Trailer is able to haul the larger loads safely.
While traditional lowboy trailers use a gooseneck and require more time, manpower and effort to front load the trailer, the HiVol Lowboy Trailer features a rear-load system, designed for safe, efficient loading and unloading fbr all sizes of equipment. In far most pieces can be loaded or unloaded in less than 20 minutes. The trailer's rear axles swing out and drop the deck to ground level while rear loading ramps descend.

Bosch Rexroth
The new Hagglunds CBM hydraulic motor from Bosch Rexroth creates powerful opportunities. Taking over from the tried-and-true Hagglunds Marathon motor, the Hagglunds CBM packs 50 percent more torque into a motor that is smaller and up to 50 percent lighter than its predecessor. That gives it the world's highest torque-to weight ratio.
For Bosch Rexroth customers, the new motor opens up new possibilities. The Hagglunds CBM not only handles heavier workloads, but also takes up less space and places less weight on the drive shaft. This means that customer machines, and in some cases the facilities that house them, can be smaller, lighter and simpler.
The motor's reduced installation requirements, combined with the higher productivity it allows, can mean lower overall investments and increased long-term revenue. Added to this are the unique operating advantages of a hydraulic direct drive: full torque from zero speed, protection from shock loads and four-quadrant operation.
The Hagglunds CBM motor was developed in direct response to customer requests. Greater power is increasingly needed in many industries, and it is a prerequisite for a number of new applications, such as wind and tidal energy. The Hagglunds CBM provides power for these applications and many others.

Superior Industries
Superior Industries exhibited its Urathon Return Roll. The Urathon Return Roll sheds sticky material, ensuring smoother conveyor belt alignment and less belt damage, making it ideal for use in the mining, aggregates and other bulk material handling industries. Constructed of heavy-duty 87A durometer urethane, Urathon return rollers offer up to three times the life of rubber disc-style idlers, and are available in standard and spiral disc options.
The Urathon return roll's non-stick properties prevent build-up of wet and sticky material on the roller discs, leading to smoother operation, greater productivity and minimized belt damage. Material build-up is the leading cause of conveyor belt mistracking and damage. When excessive material accumulates, rollers can double in size, which can cause issues with belt alignment that lead to downtime. In severe cases, the rollers become so weighed down by excess material that they stop working altogether. As the belt continues to slide over the stalled rollers, expensive ripping and other damage can occur.
The Urathon return roller also reduces downtime for change outs and excessive maintenance, effectively minimizing overall costs. Both rolls are self-cleaning, and the spiral style offers an added cleaning action on the underside of the belt to further reduce maintenance requirements caused by carryback material.
The Standard Roll is available in a 5-, 6- or 7-in. diameters, while the Spiral Roll is offered in a 6-in. diameter. Both models are compatible with conveyor belts ranging from 18 to 96 in. in width, and CEMA load rated at E, D, C or B.

W.S. Tyler
W.S. Tyler introduced a 10-ft.-wide version of its F-Class Vibrating Screen at booth 10250. The F-Class offers the only double eccentric screening solution for challenging applications that require minimal vibration transmission during operation.
This allows for the use of multiple machines within the same building or structure without the same reinforcing measures required to house traditional vibrating screens. Due to its consistent G-Force, the F-Class is also known for its ability to keep screen openings dean, thus avoiding the pegging of material and making the processing of sticky material possible.
"It just made sense," W.S. Tyler President Florian Festge said. "Our double eccentric technology has been so effective that customers expressed the need for larger screens as their operations grew. We answered with the largest double eccentric screen to date, the 10-ft.-wide F-Class. Its size, paired with its versatility, make the F-Class a viable option for customers who were previously forced to invest in much more expensive technologies, such as exciter driven screens."
This means that, when equipped with the right media choice, the F-Class virtually eliminates blinding and pegging. With the ability to handle the toughest applications, the F-Class is designed and built for classifying of ores, copper, gold, minerals, stones, sand and gravel.

Weir Minerals
Weir Minerals Linatex, a business unit of The Weir Group PLC, introduced its new Linatex Wear Indicator System.
The Linatex Wear Indicator System is a revolutionary early warning system for hoses that handle highly abrasive materials in mining operations. The Linatex Wear Indicator System has a 24-hour monitoring system that transmits and receives information, relaying the message to mine operators onsite.
According to recent reports, the cost of installing and operating a new coal mine has increased nearly threefold in the last few years. The story is nearly the same around the globe and no one anticipates any relief in the near future. Many mines around the world are looking at their equipment and focusing on maximizing efficiency and productivity to get more with less.
"Mineral processing is a highly abrasive environment and it causes a lot of wear on equipment, especially the hoses that move the slurry through the system," said Geoff Moore, divisional sales and marketing director for Weir Minerals. "With the Linatex Wear Indicator System from Weir Minerals, mine operators can create a safer environment for employees and the surroundings by closely monitoring the wear on equipment and proactively planning equipment maintenance."
The Linatex Wear Indicator System senses a change in resistance as measured by ohms--a precision measurement that provides more accurate results. With the 24-hour monitoring system there isn't a need for operation shutdowns for physical inspection or costly emergency maintenance downtime.
Key features of the Linatex Wear Indicator System:
* 24-hour monitoring system.
* Senses a change in resistance as measure by ohms.
* Provides more accurate results than a standard indicator system.

The SJR recently had a chat with three basketball head coaches, Justin Moon of the San Juan Lady Broncos, Ryan Nielson of the San Juan boys team, and Lee Chadwick, coach of the Monticello Lady Buckaros. Their responses follow.
Q. How many years have you been a head coach, currently and other coaching stops?
Justin Moon: This is going to be my fourth year coaching girls basketball here at San Juan (one as an assistant and three as head coach). Prior to coaching here, I spent six years as the head coach of the girls basketball team at Whitehorse. I spent one year before that as an assistant for the girls freshmen team at Canyon View (Cedar City), and before that I was an assistant coach in California for a year.
Ryan Nielson: This is my 13th season as a head basketball coach; six years at Grand County, and now in my seventh season here at San Juan.
Lee Chadwick: This is my first year as a head coach. I have coached football and basketball previously in Alaska for 10 years. I have great assistant coaches helping this year, including Jennifer Westfall, Lindy Young, and Elisa Rogers.
Q. Do you have a team slogan this year and if so, what is it?
JM: Finish Strong.
RN: Team slogan is preached every year and that is Play Hard, Play Smart, Play Together, and Have Fun. We feel if we do those four things we will be successful.
LC: Our team slogan/this year is "Learn from yesterday, prepare for tomorrow, live for today."
Q. What are your definite strengths this year?
JM: Definite strengths this year are #1 A group of girls that gets along on the court. #2 A desire to not just play the game but to get better at it as well.
We are looking to improve on what was a disappointing year last year. I challenged the girls to MAKE 3000 shots during the off season. We only had a couple accomplish that goal but we had a lot of girls that tried and made more shots this off season that they have even shot in years past.
Many of the girls attended a local shooting/skills camp and also we took a team to a summer tournament. We haven't worked that hard in the offseason in a while here in Blanding.
We hope that this work pays off for us this season.
RN: Our biggest strength believe it or not is our team chemistry. These kids get along and they come to work every day, and they enjoy being around each other.
LC: Despite our limited varsity experience, we have some enthusiastic girls that are responding well to what we ask of them. We do not operate with a "peak by Friday" philosophy, and are looking forward to region play in January.
Our goal is to secure the top seed from our region, with everything else being preparation for that goal. We are fortunate to be able to play some top quality teams in December to help prepare us to meet that goal.
LC: Our girls' willingness to learn and have faith in what we are trying to teach them will be a great asset to us as we work through the year. We certainly have our work cut out for us, but I see indicators of us being able to attain our season goals every day in practice.
Q. Why do you coach?
JM: It has always been something I wanted to do.
RN: I love to coach because I love being around kids. I am very lucky to be around great kids who are very coachable and love the game of basketball as much as I do.
LC: I decided to coach after being persuaded by a close friend and coach to try it for one year with him. I came to realize the significance of the work of assisting youth through tumultuous years, and came to believe strongly in the value of team sports to accomplish that endeavor.
I recognize that not all athletic programs teach the same values or morals, and few expressly emphasize the purpose of athletics in raising quality young women and men. In fact, high school athletics often gets denigrated due to the numerous and well-publicized poor examples.
I hope to work to change that. I take my guiding principle for coaching from the book entitled, "The Season of Life." There, when asked how successful the team will be, Coach Joe Ehrmann replies, "I won't know for 20 years!" Likewise, I hope to be a force for good in the lives of those I coach.
Q. Team Captains-who are they and what is their significance?
JM: I don't really pick a team captain. I rotate that honor during the year.
RN: Team captains where voted by their teammates and they are Keaton Perkins and Cameron Shumway. These two young men have tons of varsity experience and their teammates look up to them to lead the team.
LC: Team captains this year include Janessa Bowring and Abigail Chadwick. Janessa has played a pivotal leadership role in the off-season this year as we transitioned coaches, programs, and players, attended camp, and focused on the coming year. Her inclusionary nature is pivotal in our team's success this year, and is necessary for each of our team members to obtain.
Abigail has set the standard for off-season work. In addition to attending camps, she has not missed a single open gym this summer or fall and has steadily worked to improve her skill set. Her work ethic both off- and in-season is exemplary and the standard we hope to set within our program.
Q. Players to look for this year.
JM: Junior Kelsi Meyer is in her third year on varsity. In our first game she had 28 points and 13 rebounds (10 on offense).
Junior Erika Grover plays bigger than she is. She started most of last year as a sophomore.
Senior Jessica Bergeman has worked hard on her game and when she lets go can be a great offensive threat for us.
Senior Felicia Flavel is only the second year she has played basketball. She is our workhorse. She loves to play inside and is one of the strongest girls I have coached.
Senior Brooke Bowring fills the holes in for us. She can play numerous positions, and is a great one on one defender. There are many other girls that will help us as the year goes.
RN: I am very excited about this year we have some great basketball players. Its obvious that Keaton and Cameron will be ones to watch. But the biggest surprise will be AJ Slavens. He has really worked hard to get better and he should have a great year.
Others to watch will be Tyler Nielson, Seth Moses, Tyrell Nielson, and Shea Swenson. We will definitely miss Stetler Shumway this year who had a season ending injury from the state football game.
LC: I really can't name individual players to look for this year, I see so much potential and growth in each one despite the level they may currently be at.
As always, certain individuals tend to be more visual than others, as they have more visual skills and abilities. However, I am often reminded of King Benjamin and his sermon. No one would have heard his speech unless a few unknowns built the tower for him to speak from.
Likewise, our team will only be as strong as those deeper on the bench that work hard to make us all better each day in practice. They may not be on the court, but their contribution is no less valuable in what we are trying to accomplish as a team. If you really need a player to look for, look for the ones on the bench. They are our strength.
Coach Rhett Maughan's Buckaroo boys hit the ground running this year, winning big in both their first two games, defeating the Grand County Red Devils in the home opener on Tuesday, 72-43.
Four Buckaroos scored in double figures led by junior Dallin Duncan's 29. Steven Redd (12), Devin Wright (11), and Cory Young (10) also chipped in.
On Friday, the Bucks pounded the Montezuma Cortez Panthers, 57-39. The Bucks got balanced scoring with Redd leading the way with 15, followed by Wright (12), Duncan (9), Young (8) and Kendall Maughan (8). This week finds the Bucks at Richfield against Manila and number two ranked Piute.
Monticello Lady Bucks got their first win of the season Saturday in their home opener, blasting the Mancos Lady Blue Jays.
Swayzi Slade and Kendyl Boyd led the Bucks, scoring inside with 12 and 10 points respectively.
Tuesday saw the Lady Bucks at the mercy of MontezumaCortez Lady Panther's full court press, producing a 59-32 loss.
By press time, the Lady Bucks and the Lady Broncos will have completed the first half of their annual two-game rivalry.
Coach Ryan Nielson's Broncos have run out of gas. "We had nothing against Enterprise", says Nielson of the 2A Preview in Richfield. "We're wore out," he continues as the Broncos, fresh off a state football championship, have had just seven practices sandwiched between five games.
And they have four more games this week. The Broncos beat Durango, 53-42, but lost to Emery County, 62-61, Enterprise, 66-40, and Kanab, 55-47. Bronco stalwart Cameron Shumway rolled his ankle early against Kanab and didn't return but is expected back for the Broncos quadri-games this week.

American golfers have always been patriots.
As we prepare to celebrate Patriot Golf Day this Labor Day weekend - using our beloved game to help those who sacrificed to give us the right to play it – we should also remember that our nation's heroes have been intertwined into the fabric of golf since the game took root after the Civil War.
Francis Ouimet, America's first golf superstar, enlisted in the Army at age 25 when America entered World War I. Ouimet rose to the rank of lieutenant, although his action was limited.
It was the nation's next great star of the game, Bobby Jones, who solidified the inexorable link between the golf and national service.
Jones was only 15 years old during the First World War, but that didn't stop him from doing his part. Along with Alexa Stirling (the greatest female player of her generation) he went on an extended exhibition tour to raise money for the Red Cross.
By the time World War II broke out, he was a sporting icon and one of the most famous celebrities in the world. Still, at age 42 with three kids at home, Jones lobbied to go overseas to serve on the front lines. Despite being encouraged to stay home, he got his wish. Jones was part of the second wave entering France on D-Day-plus-one. He and his unit withstood intense enemy fire for four days.
Ben Hogan and Sam Snead also served: Hogan in the Army and Snead in the Navy, while Jackie Burke saw some of the most brutal combat in human history as a Marine in the Pacific.
Lloyd Mangrum, one of the great players of his generation, turned down the head professional's job at Fort Meade to take a front-line position in Europe. He received two Purple Hearts: one for taking a bullet through the helmet during the Battle of the Bulge. Upon returning home, Mangrum put the uniform and medals away and won the 1946 U.S. Open.
Many other patriots have held the game close. Teddy Roosevelt, leader of the Rough Riders and hero of the Spanish-American War, was our nation's first golfing president, although he was not the most famous Commander in Chief. John Kennedy, another Purple Heart recipient, carried a single-digit handicap, and George H.W. Bush, America's youngest-ever combat fighter pilot, continues to be active in the game at age 88.
Eisenhower was our most famous golfing president. But few know that Ike used the game as a way to clear his head while planning the D-Day Invasion. Telegraph Cottage on Kingston Hill outside London, Ike's wartime retreat, backed up to the 13th fairway of the Coomb Hill Golf Club. On many a stressful afternoon, General Eisenhower would slip out the rear gate and play the course's final six holes to clear his head and ponder the enormity of the months that lay before him.
Countless stories have been lost over time, although noted author and golf writer John Strege captured many of them in his book "When War Played Through: Golf during World War II."
The numbers dwindled in the modern era. Larry Nelson, sergeant and Infantry Squad Leader during the Vietnam War, was the last combat veteran to win a major championship. But the game remains linked to those who serve.
Tiger Woods, Davis Love III, Rickie Fowler, Hunter Mahan, Bubba Watson, Phil Mickelson and countless others do more to support our military heroes than most will ever know. They don't do it for the public relations. Most go to great lengths to make sure their efforts are kept quiet.
They do it because patriots don't have to put on a uniform or take up a weapon to serve.
This weekend Maj. Dan Rooney, founder of the Folds and Honor Foundation, will take to the airwaves to encourage everyone to support the families of the fallen by participating in Patriot Golf Day. President George W. Bush normally plays with Rooney on these occasions, but because it is an election year, the former President called Maj. Dan with his apologies. No need to muddle the cause with politics of the day the president said.
So, as he has done time and time again, Jack Nicklaus stepped up. Maj. Dan will travel to South Florida this weekend where he and Jack will, once more, raise money and awareness for the patriots who sacrificed the most, from the patriots who play our game.
"I never had the privilege to serve our country, but I have such a deep-rooted respect and appreciation for the men and women who served," Nicklaus said. "For what these men and women have given us and for us - the sacrifices of life and limb for our country - you can count me in to help in any way I can. Just to be asked to involved, be it with programs like Patriot Golf Day or American Lake Veterans Golf Course, is a privilege."
Patriots are still plentiful in our country. You can find them many places, but almost certainly at a golf course near you.

Roth IRA conversion calculator
Roth IRA conversions are now available to everyone
On January 1, 2010, all investors, regardless of income, became eligible to convert their tax-deferred retirement savings to tax-free Roth IRAs. Roth IRAs differ from Traditional IRAs in how contributions and withdrawals are taxed.
Contributions to a Roth IRA are not tax deductible, but all withdrawals are tax free, provided certain provisions are met. You may benefit from a Roth conversion if you expect to be in a higher tax bracket in retirement, already own taxable and tax-deferred savings accounts, or want to leave a financial legacy to future generations.

Cat jumps 3 stories to escape Celebration apartment fire ignited by lightning
Lightning strike ignites fire as severe weather hits Central Florida
ORLANDO, Fla. – A lightning strike sparked a large fire in Celebration on Tuesday and caused a cat to jump three stories to safety.
[MORE INFO: Live radar | Temperatures | PICS: Fire ignites]
Osceola fire officials said the blaze ignited on Latta Street at the 24-unit Evander Square Apartments, destroying all the units.
There were no reports of injuries, but Osceola fire officials said several people were concerned about their pets inside of the building.
Josue Alicea said he was at work when the fire ignited on Tuesday and his cat, Charlie Jasper, jumped three stories to safety.
"The cat just had burned paws, some scratches so far that I know he's OK," he said.
"I saw a few people that looked like they worked at Disney that ran home when they heard it was on fire and were pretty upset, crying and kind of hugging each other," said Greg Taussig, who lives in the complex. "I feel terrible. There are a lot of good people in this building and a lot of people that are working in the area, and I just can't imagine bouncing back from having your house burn down or at least damaged."
The fire forced officials to close Celebration Boulevard near the Interstate 4 entrance.
Severe thunderstorm and other weather warnings were issued Tuesday in Central Florida as a line of storms trekked across the region.
Thunderstorm warnings were issued for Brevard, Orange, Seminole, Marion and Polk counties earlier in the day.
Temperatures warmed to 87 degrees in Orlando.
"Behind the front, temperatures will be 10 degrees cooler," Bridges said.
Wednesday's high temperature will reach 77 degrees, with a 20 percent chance of rain.
The overnight low into Thursday morning will be in the mid-60s.
"Rain chances will be on and off at 30 percent through Saturday, with highs back in the mid-80s by the weekend," Bridges said.
Easter Sunday will be dry, with a high in the mid-80s.

Protecting health: thinking small
Sidhartha R SinhaI,*; Rajaie BatnijiII

IIUniversity of Oxford, Oxford, England
Benefits of microfinance
When illness strikes, people on low-incomes often respond by foregoing their children's education, selling limited assets (including those used to make a living), borrowing from informal sources at exorbitant rates or foregoing medi cal treatment. Limited access to formal credit and savings arrangements constrain health-care financing options for these people. In low-income countries, private sources (including out-of-pocket expenses) account for more than 60% of health-care expenditure; 20% more than in upper-middle and high-income countries.1 With such a high percentage of health care financed privately, residents of developing countries are particularly vulnerable to financial instability from "health shocks" (i.e. new and significant health issues).
Microfinance has been successfully deployed to compensate for the lack of traditional financing opportunities in developing countries.2 It can also be used to help finance health care for excluded populations. Microfinance broadly refers to small loans, savings opportunities, insurance and other financial products and services tailored for poor people. The most common tool, microcredit, is the extension of small loans, often without collateral requirements, usually for self-employment projects that generate income. By capitalizing on social networks in poorer communities and developing channels into the informal economy, microfinance is assisting millions of people, particularly women, to improve financial resilience.
Additionally, by promoting local entrepreneurship, microfinance helps build a more resilient and secure local economy. This resilience is demonstrated in a review by the Inter-American Development Bank of the recent global recession, which indicated that industry leaders in microfinance matched or even outperformed their commercial bank counterparts in key performance indicators.3Box 1 shows additional characteristics that promote the economic resilience of microfinance institutions. Due to its success in providing conventional financing for poor communities, microfinance is now being used as a tool for health financing and also health education and prevention.
Health promotion and education
Several microfinance programmes have incorporated preventive health education as part of services based on either public service motives or from the belief that health education will lead to higher repayments, client retention, and increased profit. In South Africa, for example, the IMAGE (Intervention with Microfinance for AIDS and Gender Equity) project combined a microfinance programme for women with HIV and gender training curriculum. The results of a randomized control study indicated that a microfinance and training intervention resulted in a 50% reduction in intimate-partner violence among programme participants.4 Furthermore, after two years the study showed an improvement in nine measures of empowerment, including self-confidence and financial confidence. Other research has shown that improvements in women's income through microfinance projects led to advancements in preventive health care. Improvements in nutrition, immunization coverage, contraceptive use and other health measures have been demonstrated in communities using microfinance.5
In addition, microfinance has been used for infrastructure development. In Lesotho, for example, under a United Nations and World Bank programme, poor families were given credit for purchasing and installing latrines in their community, after depositing a portion of the costs in a bank. Leveraging household and community resources for sanitation improvements have also been reported in many other countries
Can it benefit the poorest?
Despite the strengths of microfinance, it has thus far been largely inaccessible to the absolute poorest communities. The poorest communities continue to depend on public spending and donor aid, unable to benefit from microcredit or microsavings because of an absolute lack of capital. Microfinance may alleviate some financial burden on the public sector by providing coverage for some of these people, but its ability to provide for extremely poor people is still under investigation.
BRAC, one of the world's largest nongovernmental organizations with extensive microfinance capabilities, has targeted the "ultra poor" with a package including health-care subsidies, training, interventions for social inclusion and even cash subsidies. A recent evaluation by the Asian Development Bank of this programme indicated that these broad interventions have led to improved economic and health outcomes for the poorest participants.
Microfinance for health
Choosing the appropriate microfinance tool (credit, savings or insurance) for the health-care need is challenging and, in many cases, evidence is lacking for making informed decisions. The choice of which instrument to use can be considered a function of two variables: (i) the likelihood of the health-care event, and (ii) the relative cost of the event (Fig. 1). Under the likelihood of the health-care event variable, one must consider duration and frequency of the event. The costs associated with the event can be recurring (chronic diseases) or infrequent (certain epidemics). With these variables, one can create a framework for choosing the appropriate financial tools for each type of event.
Microcredit and microsavings may be best suited for relatively lower cost health-care services, including some acute events and preventive care. As costs increase, however, relative to a household's savings or expected future income, savings and credit products become increasingly less attractive solutions as neither can effectively provide full protection against losses greater than what a household can save or repay in the future. Micro-insurance (namely voluntary, contributory, risk-pooling endeavours designed to address the needs of the poor) then becomes a more relevant method to guard against risk as the size of potential loss increases. Given that micro-insurance schemes operate within a local community, this community is likely to be exposed to many of the same risks (e.g. natural disasters, epidemics, social insecurity). A key role for international institutions is to explore strategies for better distributing localized risk, thus allowing micro-insurance to serve populations when it is most needed. Savings and credit tools may be more applicable for quadrants I and II in Fig. 1, as these expenditures have the best chance of being affordable for savers or loan takers. However, as costs increase in quadrants III and IV, insurance becomes a more realistic way to finance health, since the potential loss may be too high to be financed through savings or credit.
At extreme levels of uncertainty and cost (quadrant III), insurance generally becomes a less effective tool to manage risk. As a result, most mass, covariant risks, such as certain epidemics and natural disasters, can be difficult to insure, particularly for the relatively smaller micro-insurance organizations. For these types of situations, government relief and aid from the international community are alternative sources for partial coverage. The largest potential for microfinance is seen for addressing idiosyncratic risks, such as those related to basic health and disability. As microfinance institutions grow and increase their outreach, they may also increase their potential to help their clients address larger, covariant risks.
Microcredit and microsavings offer potential for providing predictable, low-cost health care where it otherwise may not have been accessible. Micro-insurance could supplement public medical plans in poor, underserved areas. There are varying health-care uses, strengths and weaknesses of these microfinance approaches for health (Table 1). Micro-insurance, by offering greater protection than a household may save or borrow, offers significant promise.
Microfinance to help fund health certainly has limitations that need further investigation. Some of the areas that need further investigation include access to extremely poor people, difficulties in targeting the right form of microfinance to match other social factors in a community and ability to expand schemes. Critically, microcredit and microsavings schemes do not solve the issue of out-of-pocket payments deterring access to health care. Like user-fees, microcredit and microsavings for financing of health services are unlikely to improve health equity. Certainly, more trials are needed to evaluate the potential health benefits of microfinance. Additionally, studies on repayment rates for microcredit used for health-care financing are needed.
A comprehensive study of plans that cover different types of care (e.g. hospitalization only versus inclusion of outpatient care), various re-insurance schemes to cover broader risks and better assessments of risk in poorer populations are all needed to ensure optimal insurance services. In addition, concerns about high interest rates in some schemes and the commoditization of social capital must be considered. Research on the benefits and limits of all forms of microfinance should be promoted and conducted by governments, nongovernmental organizations and microfinance institutions to make informed choices within different sociocultural contexts.
International organizations such as the World Health Organization and The World Bank should continue to make microfinance for health a consideration in technical advice given to governments on health-care financing and social protection. They should also fund systematic, evaluative research so that science can back up what seems to be a logical and useful approach to health-care financing for the poor, particularly as it emphasizes prevention and health promotion. The large-scale delivery of these tools will depend on repeated local adoption that must grow from communication of demonstrated success and advice on implementation of effective models. However, we already have enough knowledge to recognize that microfinance is an important tool in protecting health. Given the grave risks to health from the current economic crisis, governments, international institutions and nongovernmental organizations must consider microfinance when shaping their policies to finance and promote health during these difficult economic times.

Standards-based compliance: A how-to guide
This presentation by Dick Mackey discusses the pros and cons of using standards as the vehicles to improve regulatory compliance.
Dick Mackey, Principal, SystemExperts Corp., presented this session at Information Security Decisions Fall 2005.
Regulations such as SOX 404, GLBA and HIPAA are notorious for telling you what you need to accomplish, but not how to accomplish it. This session dives into the pros and cons of using standards such as COBIT, COSO and ISO17799 as the vehicles to improve regulatory compliance. Each of these standards has a different purpose, some extremely broad, others more focused. In thinking about security, in particular, one needs to navigate through the various standards to understand which parts overlap and how to meet the security requirements specified in them without wasting time and money. This session shows you how. We detail how the standards relate to specific regulations, the motivation behind each security framework, and their strengths and weaknesses. We also discuss how awareness of these standards can help improve your overall security approach, as well as your risk management program.You find out:

It may look smooth from the outside, but there's nothing simple about managing diabetes, with the round-the-clock need to regulate ups and downs in blood sugar -- especially for a kid.
When her daughter Tia was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes three and a half years ago at the age of 8, Tamar Sofer-Geri was taken by surprise.
"This came totally out of the blue for us, as it does for many families," the Los Altos resident said. "We have no family history of Type 1 diabetes."
Hungry for information about a diagnosis that could change meals and other aspects of daily life for the whole family, Sofer-Geri joined a Yahoo group for parents of kids with Type 1 diabetes and began networking.
"With diabetes, if you're two weeks ahead of someone in the journey you can already help them out," she said.
"Very quickly we were mentoring newly diagnosed families, just as people had helped us out."
The new situation brought out the organizing instincts in Sofer-Geri, who worked at Stanford's Graduate School of Business and was born in the United States but raised and educated in Israel.
She emailed the parents group for a "carbs and coffee" gathering at Esther's German Bakery and turnout was strong.
That group of parents and caregivers now meets twice monthly -- once in the morning and once in the evening.
At Tia's request, Sofer-Geri launched "carbs in the park," a monthly gathering for families in public parks and other recreation venues, including Winter Lodge and bowling alleys.
Last year Sofer-Geri launched a full-blown nonprofit organization, naming it Carb DM -- a play on the Latin phrase "carpe diem." The "DM" in the title is for "diabetes mellitus" or "diabetes management" -- people can choose, she said.
With a mailing list of more than 400 families, adults and health care providers, the group runs about seven programs a month for toddlers, kids and adults. Some events occur in the East Bay, and Sofer-Geri also is working on offerings in Spanish.
"We're always learning -- every time I go to something I learn," she said.
"The adults who have been living with diabetes for 40 years can actually learn from the newbies because they have new information that older folks may not be keeping up to date on.
"I don't know anyone who considers themselves an expert, even the doctors," she said, describing the disease as "non-linear, not logical and an art more than a science."
This past week, Carb DM sponsored an evening about living with diabetes as a college student, featuring a panel of students, recent college graduates and parents, who shared their experiences.
On Aug. 14, the group will sponsor a talk about living with diabetes in schools, with information about the right to accommodations of rules surrounding eating, bathroom breaks and test-taking.
Palo Alto's Parents Place, a program of Jewish Family and Children's Services, has provided a venue for many of the events and has been "very supportive," Sofer-Geri said.
But she yearns for a space the group can call its own -- with a lending library, a lounge and product samples -- along the lines of Palo Alto's Blossom Birth or Breast Cancer Connections.
"What we really need is a resource center, a physical space where there's always someone to talk to," she said.
As for Tia, she's 12 now, about to enter seventh grade at Blach School in Los Altos and managing her diabetes with an insulin pump, which she wears everywhere. She spent part of her summer attending two different camps for children with diabetes.
"To me, diabetes is like brushing your teeth," she said.
"At the beginning it is something new and different, but after you have been doing it for some time you get used to it. It becomes part of your life."

Microsoft certification program to get a makeover
Microsoft is introducing sweeping changes to its certification program to make credentials more challenging -- and to reward IT professionals who have extensive on-the-job training.
Microsoft is introducing sweeping changes to some of its certification programs that will eventually trickle down to the popular IT professional credentials by the time the next versions of the Windows client and server, code-named Longhorn, ship in 2006 and 2007.
Exam content will have a sharper focus and be more challenging, according to Al Valvano, lead product manager of Microsoft Learning.
The first credentials to be revamped will be within the technology series of exams aimed at database administrators and developers, in support of the release of SQL Server 2005 and Visual Studio 2005 on Nov. 7.
Microsoft is retooling these certifications to reflect specific duties and more diverse job roles than the earlier certification program was able to capture, Valvano said. The certifications will have more of a natural alignment of credentials to job postings. To achieve certification, paths for each will be shorter and the content of the exams will be more granular.
Making years of experience count
One of the problems with the current system is that it's not possible to distinguish between a certified individual with 10 years of experience and another person with only one year of experience, Valvano said.
As one example of how the program will look, the developer track for the Microsoft Certified Database Administrator (MCDBA) credential will have three paths. One path will be for database administrators, one for database developers and one for a business intelligence developer. Each certification will drill down into the core functions of each role.
Microsoft has yet to outline the track for IT professionals, which includes the current Microsoft Certified Systems Engineer (MCSE) and Microsoft Certified System Architect program, but it will be modeled on the program created for database professionals and developers, Valvano said.
Unfair reward for good test takers
One expert said the exam makeover shows that Microsoft is taking seriously the concerns of certification holders and employers who value the credential. In the past five years, the number of people seeking credentials has dipped. Many IT administrators have complained that the credential is watered down by those who can study for the test, and that on-the-job training is a better indicator of skill levels.
To blunt those criticisms, Microsoft is toughening up the next curriculum. The first credentials, for database administrators and developers, are getting the attention now because of the new related products coming this fall.
They are trying to hit these strategic markets out of the gate, said Ed Tittel, an Austin, Texas-based consultant and author. "They haven't revved the database stuff for a while, but now that SQL Server 2005 is coming out, they have the opportunity to rework the MCDBA curriculum," he said.
"The development track tracks with Visual Studio's release," he added. "[This is] the perfect time to transition to what their new vision of functional certification should be. It gives them a chance to try out these before [Longhorn]."
At TechEd in May, Microsoft released an architecture certification, and has also recently been adding more simulation content to all of its exams. The cost of each exam will remain $125, Microsoft said.

Panna Cotta...Need I say anything about this silky smooth dessert...Spoon full of creaminess..As everyone knows panna cotta comes from Italy and means cooked cream...Usually the agent used for setting it is Gelatin...But I like to stay away from it....but when I saw this here with agar agar tried it, tested it, tasted it and fell in love with it......Don't believe me...Try it...:)
Method of Preparation:
1. Combine all the ingredients in a saucepan and bring to simmer, stir it in between.Do not boil it.
Let cool for 5 min
2. Rinse four bowls under cold water,do not dry and distribute the panna cotta mixture evenly among them.
3. Keep refrigerated until firm, about 3 hrs or overnight.
Pomegranate Sauce:
1. Blend the pomegranate seeds to extract juice or use ready made pom juice.
2. Heat the pom juice with sugar on low flame.
3. Add the corn starch mixed with water to thicken the pom juice.
4. Once little thick turn off the heat and allow to cool.
5. Now pour/drizzle this on top of the panna cotta and serve.
1. I have used some pom seeds and few cashew bits on top of sauce. Add according to your wish..It just adds to the taste..

Dowsing, a science or paranormal event?
Thursday, June 25th, 2009 9:15pm
Dowsing, a scientific approach to a dimension misunderstood, misrepresented and most understudied of all windows of knowledge available to man! Is dowsing a mental paranormal exercise or is dowsing an energy similar to unseen infrared rays within the light spectrum that can be explained scientifically? These are questions and statements made worldwide that are finally addressed here publicly. Dowsing a state of mind, tools and the expectation of a correct response.
Over time there has been some noted dowsers of little record, Leonardo De Vinci, Albert Einstein, Robert Boyle (father of modern chemistry), Charles Richet (Nobel prize winner), Field Marshall Erwin Rommel (German Army), General George Patton, Edgar Casey, Major General J. Scott Elliot (Scotland) and some famous dowsers of lengthy record: Abby Mermet, John Mullins, Pierre Beasse, Le Vicomte Henry De France, Abby Bouly, Samuel (Lobo)Wolf, Henry Gross, Evelyn Penrose, Raymond J. Poppelman, Vernon Cameron, Jack Livingston, Dwin Gordon, Harold & Jarold Eaststep, Louis Matacia, Carl Bracey, Leroy Bull and Paul H. Smith, Army Intelligence Officer, Retired. The latter dowsers from this list have contributed to the discovery and practice of radiesthesia with their lifelong work and documentation. These men have all become noted for dowsing a problem and having correct solutions greater than the law of averages. Only four dowsers in the list above are alive today.
Dowsing, a magnetic sense of humans, (a sixth sense) defined as biolocation, allows the body to receive diamagnetic and paramagnetic signals from any object that the dowser chooses to focus upon.
Dowsers are radiesthesiologists who have a natural affinity to locate items, natural resources, people, animals or solutions to problems with the help of tools known as a dowsing rod, L rods, pendulum, wand or bobber. A few dowsers can dowse without tools and are called deviceless dowsers. These dowsers are not witchers, warlocks, witches, diviners or spiritualist! They have just learned a system of deciphering an energy that is everywhere on the earth. Dowsing a matter of objectivity is futile. Each session must include dowsing a question that can be answered with a "yes" or "no". Outer Space dowsing has not been verified at the time of this printing, however innerspace (diving underwater) dowsing has proved to be just as accurate as land dowsing.
Dowsing is claimed by many and mastered by a small handful. The title of "Master Dowser" has been assumed by many using the credentials of longevity as the basis for acclaim. These self appointed "masters" may have little success to substantiate the title but point to "umpteen" years or more of getting rod or pendulum response as evidence that they know how to dowse. On the other hand there are many self taught Master Dowsers that have better skills and more successes than seminar instructors of dowsing. Master dowsers are known for their record of successes, not self accreditation.
Almost anyone can propel a pendulum or hold an "L" rod and retrieve a "yes" or "no" response. Children are the best and quickest students of dowsing. Artifacts are one of the easiest items to dowse. Finding lost people or treasure is on the most difficult end of the dowsing spectrum. Earlier it was mentioned that different facets of dowsing resembled the different rays in the light spectrum. Some light rays are realized with the 5 senses and the rest are only identifiable with specialized filters and electronic equipment. Dowsing, a gift very similar to the complexity of photographing full spectrum light, uses all of the five senses and some yet to be scientifically named.
Dowsing criteria and tools differ immensely with each subject, object, matter or beings that are searched for by the dowsers. A dowser that is a master at locating water wells may know absolutely nothing about dowsing for your lost pet. Only a few people have mastered all facets of dowsing.
Dowsing a map or for a lost article is a simple quest of asking the mind to solve the question while being fully awake instead of "sleeping on it".

Applying Gradual Progress to Distance Running
An integral part of training for distance running is a universal principle called Gradual Progress.
Gradual Progress states that everything that moves through developmental stages of growth must do so gradually and sequentially. From the seed that grows from sapling to tree, the basement business that grows from cutting-edge tech company into the next Google, to the flirtatious glance that leads to dating and one day becomes a life-long partnership, everything in life that grows positively must do so gradually.
And what happens when you defy this principle? Well, I can pretty safely say the consequence of breaking a universal law is more than just paying a fine and promising not to do it again. Breaking the law will inevitably lead to some level of failure. Every economic boom and bust of our modern economy is a testament to this truth.
The principle of Gradual Progress also applies to distance running. When you start running, it's important to start slowly and build speed as your body adapts to the movement of running. Likewise, you wouldn't take off from a stoplight driving your car in 4th gear. The engine would be working way too hard and wasting fuel. Instead, you accelerate through the gears until you reach your cruising speed. Your approach to distance running should be no exception. Whether you're running in a single event or beginning a marathon training program, it's important to start slowly. If you start running at high speeds or increase your mileage too quickly, you could get injured. Most running injuries happen when training habits outpace the body's capability to produce new muscle cells. A well-planned training program allows your muscles to go through natural, sequential stages of growth.
Gradual Progress is a principle to follow during speed workouts. Let's say you want to train yourself to run faster, so you go to the track to run 400 meter intervals (one lap). The principle of Gradual Progress says you should begin with a reasonable number of intervals that your body can handle. Just because your friend is running ten 400 meter intervals, that doesn't mean you should start with that many. Try running four with a rest break between each one, then see how your body feels before adding on any more. If you're tired, you're done. Do your cool-down run and go home. If you feel your body can handle more, add one interval at a time until your lap times start to get slower.
Remember to follow the principle of Gradual Progress when you start running your intervals as well, and run your first interval the slowest. That will warm you up for running the next one slightly faster. As your workout progresses, and your muscles get more loose and relaxed, you can run each additional interval slightly faster. Running slower intervals up front allows you to work on your Form Focuses and think about what you're doing, to sense what's correct and what's incorrect, with each interval becoming a stepping-stone for the next.
Gradual Progress applies to running any distance longer than a sprint. If you start running at a reasonable pace, your body will gradually loosen, relax and gain momentum throughout the race. Starting a race slower than you finish gives you a psychological race advantage because you'll be passing people the entire race instead of watching them pass you in the later miles. It's a great boost to your spirit and another great reward for using the principle of Gradual Progress.

Excellent customer service and excellent products!
This is the first time I used them. But I know Bonsoni for quite sometime and few people recommended them. Would definitely use again
We bought an Oak side table for my elderly mother-in-law, she finds it very useful and attractive. It was delivered very quickly and was easy to assemble. There was a slight scratch on it when we got it, but not worth making a fuss about - it'll get more in use
Third time I have bought from them. Very pleased with the products. Look good and easy to put together.
Great service item exactly as advertised
We waited nearly three weeks for the product to arrive, it was well worth the wait. Good quality, could not believe how well it was made and packaged. Delighted with the purchase.
The chest of drawer was even more beautiful than on the website. It arrived at least 4 days before I expected it. The delivery was brilliant and the product was extremely well protected.
Amazing been looking for a long time. Don't think twice buy it
I'm really pleased with the bed I received, good quality fabulous colour & very good value. Customer services were very helpful & friendly. Would definitely recommend.
Really like the desk which fits very neatly into a small space but large enough for a laptop and printer. I can't fault the service I received.
From choosing what I wanted on the website to ordering and then delivery, everything was easy. My nest of tables are lovely and were very easy to assemble and I am so pleased with the end result. I will be back for more!
Excellent service, the best communication ive had from a company and speedy delivery.Will buy again without hesitation. Thanks very much! :)
At first hesitated as I never used this site before. But after some research before ordering I decided to go ahead and place an order for an Oak Chest of Drawers. And I was delighted with the quality of the item!
Prompt response and kept me informed and delivered within reasonable time. The best price I could find on the internet and high street. Very satisfied. well deserved 5/5!

I don't know what it says on an iPhone, but on my Blackberry, when the phone rings, it's either "answer" or "ignore". This is Jennifer Lopez on the Georgia set of What To Expect When You're Expecting looking down at her cellphone and my first assumption was - it's Marc, IGNORE, let it go to voice.
Apparently Marc Anthony has been harassing her. A source tells Us Weekly that:
"His mood shifts from blaming her to begging her to take him back to telling her she is destroying his life. He's being difficult on every little point...He wants to prolong things so she reconsiders."
That sounds about right. They are always sorry after they are mean.
So what will she do? Well, she'll keep walking. I mean, the fact that her people keep leaking these details, it sounds like she's been walking away from that for a while.

This week I'll once again be taking part in Stacking the Shelves hosted by Tynga's Reviews. The idea of Stacking the Shelves is to talk about the books you've bought, borrowed, etc. and show off and talk about your purchases and borrows. This is basically the perfect feature for me because I buy way more books, and read way more books, than I'll ever be able to review. I'll most likely talk about the stores I bought the books at as well, especially if they're independent stores.
This meme is once monthly for me, where I'll round up what I've gotten since last month's post.
This month I purchased 6 books, 23 comics, received 3 books from publishers, 3 books on NetGalley 1 book on Edelweiss, borrowed 1 comic, and received 2 book as Christmas gifts. Check them out below!

Pre-Planning Options
When is the Best Time to Pre-Plan Your Funeral?
The best time to begin making your prearrangements is now, while you're thinking about it. While some people in their 40's and 50's may think it's too early to preplan, people who do say that prearranging their funerals is smart financial planning and gives them added peace of mind knowing they aren't leaving this burden to family members. By taking time now to collect cost information and calmly making choices related to your own funeral arrangements, you'll be protecting your family against the stress of having to make these decisions at a time of extreme emotional stress. This way you can carefully choose specific items you want and need ... and pay for them now. Prepaid Investments through funeral homes allows families to fund their funerals in advance through different investment vehicles.
The Six Common Reasons for Prearranging Funerals:
Today, more individuals and families are making the decision to prearrange their funerals than ever before. Because of the factors such as inflation, fewer extended family members living close by, and other changes in our society, planning your own funeral can make a lot of sense. In a recent survey, these were the most common reasons people gave for prearranging their own funerals:
