By RICHARD SHAWSun Advocate publisher
On Friday night at the annual Utah Press Association convention in St. George, Hal Glen MacKnight, the publisher of the Sun Advocate for over 30 years will be honored by the organization by being placed in the Publishers Hall of Fame at the Utah State Capitol.
The award will be presented by the UPA to his son Scott MacKnight that evening. Hal MacKnight himself passed away on Jan. 17, 1983.
The story of MacKnight's struggle to keep the paper alive during the depression and then to make it thrive into the 1960s was one of fortitude and dedication to the local community.
In 1934, in the middle of the greatest depression the United States has ever known, a young MacKnight and partner Val Cowles purchased the fledgling newspaper in Carbon County. While the paper itself had ancestors that went back almost a half a century, the Sun Advocate was very much on the ropes when the two bought it and determined that they wanted to make it one of the finest small newspapers produced in the state.
The foundation for that future newspaper was laid by MacKnight during a time of social and financial upheaval in the United States as well as locally in Carbon County. The poor economy along with frequent strikes and lockouts in the coal mining business, the life blood of the county, made it hard to run any business, particularly one that had to tell the stories about the various sides of the issues involved.
MacKnight had come to Price as a 10-year-old boy in 1915 when his father was appointed manager of the Consolidated Wagon Company, a new venture in the county.
But Hal was not one to be interested in wagons; instead, not long after moving to the community he talked R.W. Crockett (also a member of the UPA Publishers Hall of Fame) into a job at Crockett's newspaper, The Sun.
Even as a young "printers devil" Hal must have seen the unusual and convoluted goings on concerning the operation of The Sun and its adversary in the form of the News-Advocate. It was in those days when Hal came to work at the paper that Crockett had many a run-in with the ownership of the other paper in town, including, but not limited to gun play and a stabbing. Crockett had once owned the Eastern Utah Advocate while in competition with the Carbon County News, but through a sale and a reneged-on agreement lost the name of the Advocate to the News, which the owners promptly renamed the the News-Advocate, thereby claiming the ancestral line of newspapers in the county right back to the original paper founded in 1891. This irked Crockett to no end so he opened an enterprise almost identical to his "old paper" and he called it The Sun.
Crockett could be an intimidating individual and many people had a hard time working for him. But MacKnight felt differently.
"He trained me well," said MacKnight when interviewed by Edith May Allred in 1962 for a master's thesis that she did on the history of the Sun Advocate. "Most people, however, were afraid of him."
Through the days of the early 1920s MacKnight toiled for first Crockett and then his son Robert Jr. who took over the paper late in that decade. During this time Hal graduated from Carbon High School (May 22, 1924) and went on to study journalism at Brigham Young University.
In 1932, Hal was one of the key people in the composition and printing operations for The Sun when Joseph Asbury bought the two competing county newspapers in Price and merged them together creating the Sun Advocate. Both publications were close to going out of business because they had been mismanaged by prior ownership, and the beginning of the depression had just about killed all business in many small towns.
Asbury also owned other business interests in Utah including the Richfield Reaper in Richfield. These businesses took a lot of time to run and Asbury left the operation of the Sun Advocate to MacKnight who became his shop foreman. But after only 18 months, Asbury found that it was too much to handle and decided to sell the paper. MacKnight and Val Cowles, who was the editor of the paper at the time, were there to take over.
It was the realization of a dream since he had been a young teenager; MacKnight owned a newspaper. But that too was not really complete. He did have partners in Cowles and another man named John Vlahovich who put money into the partnership. So the paper wasn't all his and at times there were differences in what the partners wanted to do.
Despite some of those internal problems, the paper went on, growing in strength during the 1930s, a time when it was very hard to heal a wounded business. But under MacKnight's guidance it survived and later thrived.
In the hard times of the 1930s the Sun Advocate was a bright spot in peoples lives. It carried news that most small town papers of the era commonly did, but the difference with the Sun Advocate was that it wasn't just about one city, but many different towns within a whole county. It also wasn't a typical small town Utah paper either. Carbon County, being a coal mining community, was unlike almost any other part of the state. It was filled with characters from all over the world, not just from northern Europe like most rural Utah areas. There were the Slavs, the Italians, the Greeks, the Mexicans, the Japanese and the Chinese. Names that filled the paper then and to this day were and are not Smith, Brown and Jones but names like Miyasaki, Milovich, Migliori, Malencik, Marakis, Marvidakis, Matekovic, Matsuda, Zamantakis, Zavala, Zaccaria and Zmerzlikar. And that covers only the M's and the Z's.
The people served by the paper came from 27 coal camps spread in canyons around the county, many living in company quarters. But there were also others in agricultural areas and railroad people in places like Helper, Spring Glen, Carbonville, Wellington, Sunnyside and Price. And as World War II came upon the country both Sunnydale, built by Kaiser for wartime coal production for steel manufacturing and Drager (later to be known as Dragerton) came into being.
MacKnight had to deal not only with many cultures in the paper, but also many different languages for the people who came into the business.
Sensitivities about religion also played into the pages of the paper. Unlike the rest of Utah, Carbon was not settled by the predominant church in the state, but instead had a dozen different denominations who built beautiful buildings to worship in and who also had celebrations that the entire community were invited to.
MacKnight took this all in and found a way to blend it all into what was truly a real melting pot in eastern Utah. The Sun Advocate, from day one, was an all-American paper.
There was also the issue of politics. Not only different in religion, ethnic diversity and culture, the county had a strong lean towards the party of FDR. In earlier days the two papers preceding the merger had announced they would take stands based on one party, each picking the opposite to represent. Hal ended that and announced a policy of non-partisianship right from the beginning of his ownership. He knew that taking sides could be the death of a paper both politically and financially. However, this did not take him out of representing one issue over another when it affected the interests of the area or of the people of Carbon County.
It was during Hal's ownership of the newspaper that one of the biggest battles affecting the local area took place. Carbon College (today known as Utah State University-Eastern) had been opened as a junior college in 1938. The paper was a major influence on the county's efforts to open a college in the area in those early years. But in 1953, a very odd thing happened. The former mayor of Price, and a Carbon County native was serving as governor of Utah. To trim the state budget, he decided that a number of junior colleges in the state be either closed or turned back over to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which had originally started those schools. Carbon College was amongst those that were to be closed. J. Bracken Lee, a home town boy, now wanted to close the very thing he had helped fight to get started when he was the Mayor of Price. Hal, along with other citizens, were appalled. The Governor actually got the legislature, during a special session, to vote to close the school. But if ever there was a reason for the Sun Advocate to exist, and for Hal MacKnight to be its publisher, it was the campaign to keep Carbon College open.
Despite a life long friendship with the governor, MacKnight was the first to alert the citizens of the county to the situation and how serious it was.
"Carbon College has advanced the cultural climate of this section's people," wrote MacKnight in an editorial at the time. "It has provided entertainment in the fields of art, sciences and athletics. It has literally brought back to this section state money which left here and were never returned. Governor Lee's attitude is amazing."
He later also wrote that "We (Carbon County) have become the victim of inexorable events in the unpredictable field of political maneuvering."
With MacKnight amongst the leading citizens fighting to keep the college open, a campaign to put an initiative on the state wide ballot began. To do that local people had to go all over the state and gather signatures. The Sun Advocate, with almost every issue for months following the legislature's vote, urged residents to help in the effort to keep the college open. The Sun Advocate was sent to parties around the state to enlist their help in defeating the closur,e and since other places around the state (such as Ogden) also did not want to see their colleges closed either, there became a brotherhood of working together. In the end over 56,000 signatures were collected to put the initiative on the ballot when only about 33,000 were needed. The initiative appeared on the ballot the next fall, and the public voted to keep the colleges open.
By the time of the college fight MacKnight had taken over sole ownership of the Sun Advocate. He did have one partner, a silent one, in his father-in-law, L. Earl Durrant who also helped out at the paper.
By that time too, Hal was also married and raising a family, who as in most newspaper families, joined one way or another in the enterprise. Wife Earlene did the books for the paper, and sons Richard and Scott worked in various places at the paper over the years.
"I remember my mom doing the books and circulation," said son Scott recently. "That's what it seemed she was always doing. Grandpa helped with that too."
Richard, the oldest son, ran the press for six years and then went to the University of Utah and while there worked for the Salt Lake Tribune. He later went to work for Mountain Bell.
Scott worked in the press room and then on production. He stayed with paper for a number of years after it was sold to Robert Finney and a group of investors from California in 1966.
Scott remembers that the paper was his dad's life. As a little boy he remembers how tired his dad was at night when he came home.
"He would sit in the chair in the front room and just fall asleep," said Scott.
But Hal did have time for community beyond the newspaper as well. He served as president of the Kiwanis Club and the Carbon Country Club. He was also a member of the Price Elks Club. He was active in the Price Chamber of Commerce and served as president of that organization and was on the board numerous times.
And the UPA also took advantage of his abilities for 10 years as he served on the board and was president of the association in 1949.
Under his leadership the paper also won numerous statewide awards, including the award for General Excellence from the UPA three times from the time the awards were started in 1946 until 1966 when he retired. The paper also won several national awards in various categories during his years of leadership.
Upon the sale of the paper Hal wrote an emotional piece in the paper talking about his many years in Price, in the newspaper business and about his loyal employees. The farewell came in the Feb. 24, 1966 edition of the Sun Advocate and he wrote that despite the problems and tribulations of running a newspaper and the conflicts that exist when one is operating such an endeavor "the people of Price and Carbon County have been kind, lovable, tolerant....history has been chronicled...sadness and heartaches have been shared. On saying farewell, how fleeting are the misunderstandings and unhappiness...how sweet the pleasant memory. With a lump in the throat, a name is taken form the masthead."
A plaque honoring MacKnight as a hall of famer, which he shares with 62 other past publishers, will be placed in the UPA Publishers Hall of Fame that is located on the lower level of the Utah State Capitol.

OGDENSBURG Sellers filled their lawns with old clothes and forgotten furniture, outgrown toys and out-of-date appliances Saturday for the annual Chamber of Commerce citywide garage sale.
Bargain hunters scoured the city for treasures among other peoples trash, stopping at their choice of the 65 participating houses. The Chamber of Commerce sold directories listing all of the sales for $2 apiece.
We keep jumping from one spot to the next. Were heading for one and we keep stopping at others, said Barbara J. Gardner, Brasher.
Its part of the fun, said her husband, Raymond J. Gardner.
I like looking for the old and unusual, Mr. Gardner said.
The sale is a yearly highlight and a chance for quick cash for city residents.
Shannon M. Demers started to advertise her sale on Facebook three months ago. Shes been participating in the citywide garage sale for the last eight years.
We sold a ton of stuff today, she said. Most of the time fishing stuff sells.
Despite chilly weather and cloudy skies, plenty of people visited with cash in hand.
Its cold, but as long as its not raining, its good, said Ashleigh L. Bushey, who said plenty of people were buying DVDs and clothing from her familys busy sale.
This is our first time this year. Weve done pretty well so far, said Amanda T. Cahrs, who was selling childrens clothing with her mother, Ellen A. Mallette.
K. Laurie Turriff owns the Something Old, Something New thrift shop in Iroquois, Ontario. Any weekend there is a communitywide garage sale, on either side of the border, she is there to scoop up any bargains she can get.
When Im missing certain things I come down here and get them, she said. Its much better than the Canadian sales.
Ms. Turriff said she occasionally finds a spectacular deal, such as a $3 necklace she purchased last year and sold for more than $300.
It all depends on what youre looking for, she said. You need to know your things.
Late in the afternoon is the best time to look, she said, because sellers are willing to cut prices as the day draws to a close. She will return next week for Heuveltons garage sale.
Although Saturday was the main event, some sales continue today.

The financial pieces of resurrecting the simulator at the St. Lawrence County Fire Training Facility in West Potsdam are starting to fall into place.
The St. Lawrence County Board of Legislators agreed Monday to give the organization, which is not a part of county government but which is a training center for volunteer firefighters, a revenue stream so it can erect a building for live fire training at an estimated cost of $450,000.
County volunteers have been without a facility of their own since their old building was condemned in 2008.
Legislators agreed to provide the training center with $4,300 this year. Over the next decade, the county will give the facility a total of $90,000, Legislative Chairman Jonathan S. Putney, D-Waddington, said.
Weve offered up a way for the financing to take place, Mr. Putney said. Im very pleased to see the county doing its part for our volunteers. From my perspective, this is the right thing to do to get this project going.
The facility is ineligible for many public grants because it is not a fire department.
Assemblywoman Addie J. Russell, D-Theresa, and state Sen. Patricia A. Ritchie, R-Heuvelton, secured $100,000 each in state funds for the facility.
The River Valley Redevelopment Agency recently announced a $60,000 grant for an annex building at the site for live fire training. The Industrial Development Agency is pulling together a financing package that includes all the revenue, including donations that have been raised.
Legislators also agreed to increase the amount in the self-insurance plan from $30,000 annually for the fire training facility to $35,000.
The facility is a vital part of taking the burden off volunteers, who have had to conduct fire simulator training in other counties, said Ronald W. Bertram, chairman of the fire training center.
The ranks have been dwindling, he said. We have to offer our firemen training.

A prospective population-based cohort study is being conducted in Ontario to evaluate whether the performance of Oncotype DX® changes the treatment recommended and the treatment received in women or men with node negative, ER positive breast cancer who are receiving (or will receive) endocrine therapy and who are candidates for chemotherapy. One thousand eligible consenting women and men will have their tumor tissue specimen sent to Genomic Health where the Oncotype DX® assay will be performed.

Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
|Official Title:
|A Prospective Cohort Study to Evaluate the Oncotype DX® Test in Early Stage Breast Cancer
- Change in treatment recommendation [ Time Frame: One month ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary outcome is the change in treatment recommendation by the oncologist and the change in treatment preference of the patient.
- Association between Oncotype DX® RS with other estimated risk calculations [ Time Frame: One month ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The level of association between the Oncotype DX® RS with estimated recurrence risk calculated by Adjuvant! Online, as well as with traditional factors including tumor size, grade, and HER2 neu.
- Change in patient decisional conflict [ Time Frame: One month ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The change in the level of patient decisional conflict measured by the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS). Additionally, the DCS has three subscales: uncertainty, effective decision making, and factors contributing to uncertainty. The change in each of these subscales will also be measured.
- Robustness of economic model of sequential Adjuvant! Online followed by Oncotype DX®. [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To determine the robustness of the economic model of sequential Adjuvant! Online followed by Oncotype DX®.

|Assigned Interventions
Early Stage Breast Cancer
Women and men with node negative, ER positive breast cancer who are receiving (or will receive) endocrine therapy, and who are candidates for chemotherapy.
Genetic: ONCOTYPEDX Test
Gene signature test containing 21 genes (16 cancer-related genes, e.g., invasion, proliferation, ER, Her 2 and five reference genes) and generates an individualized recurrence score.
Detailed Description:
The evidence supporting the adoption of Oncotype DX® is relatively weak by the criteria used by the Ontario Health Technology Advisory Committee (OHTAC). There is only one small published prospective study that reports on Oncotype DX® changing clinical management. The economic models that estimated the potential advantages of using an Oncotype DX® guided treatment strategy may have overestimated the benefits because they assumed that all patients with tumors >1cm in the absence of Oncotype DX® testing would receive chemotherapy in addition to tamoxifen, and that the magnitude of benefit with chemotherapy over tamoxifen is relatively large, i.e. reduces recurrence risk by 74% and associated with an absolute benefit of 28%. (The benefit comes from one trial and is applied to all patients). It is estimated that there are about 3,300 incident cases with node negative, ER positive, HER2 neu negative tumors annually in Ontario, it is important to evaluate the adoption of this test for decision making in Ontario.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
The authors presented updated results of an important and well-designed randomized clinical trial comparing the standard of care to a widely used regimen that substitutes cisplatin for mitomycin. Surprisingly, there was no improvement in disease-free survival with the cisplatin, and in fact, the colostomy rate was statistically significantly higher in the experimental cisplatin arm. Mitomycin's toxicity had led many physicians to use cisplatin and 5-FU instead of mitomycin and 5-FU, but without any randomized data to support this decision. This trial really illustrates the importance of comparing treatment approaches in a randomized fashion. The authors ultimately conclude that 5-FU and mitomycin concurrent with radiation should remain the standard of care in patients who can tolerate it, that is unless and until a different regimen is shown to be superior in a randomized clinical trial.

(NBC) - NBC is hosting a benefit concert tonight to help relief efforts for victims of Hurricane Sandy.
The one hour event, dubbed "Coming Together" will be hosted by Today Show anchor Matt Lauer at 8 p.m. Eastern and will feature live performances by several singers with personal connections to some of the hardest hit areas.
"To see your hometown devastated like this, and people that I grew up with, my grammar school turned into a shelter. People's homes gone and them saying to me, we are now homeless," says New Jersey native Jon Bon Jovi. "People in other parts of our country feel that if they support us, they know that someday we're going to be supporting them. People come together in this time."
Bruce Springsteen, another native son of New Jersey, and Long Island's Billy Joel are also scheduled to perform tonight, along with the likes of Sting and Christina Aguilera.
Lauer, himself a New York native, suggested tonight's fundraiser to NBC executives after seeing devastation in Queens first hand.
Lauer got to cultivate his Today Show connections to stock tonight's roster of performers.
"To be able to pick up the phone and call the people who are appearing tonight and have them all say yes, it's one of the greatest things that's happened in my career," he says.
Tonight's goal is getting viewers to say "yes" to donations.
Money collected tonight will be donated to the American Red Cross relief efforts for Hurricane
You can visit www.Redcross.Org, call 1-800-Red-Cross or text the word "redcross" to 90999 to make
a $10 donation.
The concert will air on NBC, as well as the cable networks of NBC Universal.
It will also air on Bruce Springsteen's E-Street Radio on Sirius/XM.

Is the Wickedly Long Train of E-Discovery Finally Breaking Up?
What is the long train of e-discovery? It is powered by the relentless engines of technological advancement, surging societal and economic complexity, and the concepts of civil justice due process.
The e-discovery space seems surreal. It is a huge business for everyone but the consumers of legal services—namely, companies. For them it is just a massive, costly pain.

While I was holidaying in Playa Del Carmen recently I made the aquaintance of a man from Calgary while ordering some drinks. I said i guess you are a Flames fan and he says "yes a pissed off Flames fan who has been a STH for 15 years". I say don't worry Burke will fix everything. Dude says he is pissed that Burke is in charge and is not a fan of the fat windbag. Says the team hasn't had a #1 centre since Niewendyk left. I said that Ryan Monahan will be a future superstar in the league...... at least thats what the tards on calgarypuck say. Buddy then goes a little red and says he HATES calgarypuck. Apparently he used to post there about 10 - 12 years ago but the mods have basically censored everything on that site and will not allow ANY negative feedback about their beloved Flames who have made the post season 5 times in 15 years.
He went on to call the sites owners scumbags singling out Bingo and Jiri Hrdina. He said they were very Orwellian in their thinking and that he would never post there again. Its good to know that not EVERYONE in that dump of a city isn't a complete drooling, hillbilly mongoloid.

CREATINE 2XC™ is scientifically designed to ignite the phosphagen system and crank up your energy output. By recycling ATP (one of your body's essential fuels), the potent Creatine HCL found in CREATINE 2XC™ keeps your muscles primed to generate serious force instantly and consistently. This allows you to push yourself longer and harder in the gym. The more reps you hammer out, the greater your anabolic potential - it's just that simple. Besides extending your stamina in the gym, CREATINE 2XC™ works to give you that overall explosiveness you need to optimize your training session.
Are you giving your muscles the edge they need to rebound from the punishment you put them through? CREATINE 2XC™ works to speed up muscle tissue repair by increasing muscle cell volume and hydration, providing an optimal environment for nutrient transfer and other anabolic processes. Critical amino acids like L-Glutamine, L-Carnitine Tartrate, and N-Acetyl Tyrosine also provide support for enhanced protein synthesis and recovery.
Buffering and potency is a huge issue with creatine supplements. Many products disintegrate in the stomach and never even reach your bloodstream. This breakdown produces the byproduct creatinine, which can induce negative side effects such as nausea or bloating. Unlike these inferior creatine products, CREATINE 2XC™ is powered by the potent Creatine HCL, which is precisely buffered to withstand the highly acidic pH environment of the stomach and reach fatigued muscle tissues fully intact to exert its beneficial effects.
CREATINE 2XC™ contains the patented and incredibly potent AstraGin™ extract, which has been scientifically proven to boost nutrient uptake and cellular ATP by 18%, increase insulin sensitvity by 38%, and elevate post-workout muscular glycogen levels by 60%. AstraGin™ works by helping your body to increase the volume of transporter chemicals and mRNA, which determine the quantity of nutrients that are absorbed into your intestines.
For best results consume CREATINE 2XC™ within 30 minutes before or after intense exercise. Add 2 scoops of CREATINE 2XC™ to 16 oz. of cold water and stir or shake for a few seconds.
Warning: For Adult use only. Keep out of reach of children. Consult your physician before using the product if you have any medical condition. Do not use if you are pregnant or nursing. For best results combine with a diet and exercise program.
Buffering and potency is a huge issue with creatine supplements. Many products disintegrate in the stomach and never even reach your bloodstream. This breakdown produces the byproduct creatinine, which can induce negative side effects such as nausea or bloating. Unlike these inferior creatine products, Creatine HCL is precisely buffered to withstand the highly acidic pH environment of the stomach and reach fatigued muscle tissues fully intact to exert its beneficial effects.
In terms of energy consumption during training, your body has 3 options, the oxidative system, the glycolosis system, and the phosphagen system. While the glycolosis system is typically the first process to be used by your body in supplying energy (ATP) to your muscles, it is not well-suited to react to bursts of high-intensity, low duration exercises. During activites like weight training, the glycolosis system can take 5 minues or more to release ATP - long after you've "hit the wall" on reps. This is where the phosphagen system comes in. Unlike the glycolosis system, which relies on carbohydrates and glycogen, the phosphagen system circumvents muscular energy demands by converting ADP (used ATP) into new ATP, allowing for rapid energy replenishment. This ATP recycling process is made possible exclusively through the molecule Creatine. While your body does contain natural stores of creatine, these are quickly depleted by the phosphagen system during extended weight training sessions, reducing your body's ability to recycle ATP. By supplementing with CREATINE 2XC™ you can take advantage of a reduced recovery period between muscle contractions, allowing you to work out harder and longer before muscle failure.
When it comes to creatine supplements, quality can be a huge issue due to the many different forms of this molecule and their varying efficacy in actually reaching muscle tissues. If a particular form of creatine is not properly buffered to resist the highly acidic pH environment found in the stomach, it will immediately break down and convert to a byproduct molecule called creatinine. In addition to having never actually reached your muscle tissues to exert its ATP recycling effect, this decomposed creatine can produce negative side effects like bloating, water retention, and nausea. With CREATINE 2XC™, you've got a highly effective creatine that is designed to navigate your digestive and circulatory systems fully intact so it can exert its beneficial effects on your hard-working muscle tissues. Unlike inferior creatine supplements, CREATINE 2XC™ is powered by the potent Creatine Hydrochloride, and requires no loading phase or cycling on and off. CREATINE 2XC™ also contains 100% Pure Micronized Glutamine, L-Carnitine Tartrate, & N-Acetyl-Tyrosine, for additional support with increased recovery, stamina, and endurance.
CREATINE 2XC™ works most effectively when taken within 30 minutes before or after your training. When used as a pre-workout, the potent Creatine HCL component works to saturate your phospagen system and boost your ATP power output, so you are ready to slam your workout. When taken post-workout, CREATINE 2XC™ is designed to restore depleted creatine reserves and support increased cell volumization for optimal muscle growth and repair. Additional amino acids like Micronized Glutamine, L-Carnitine Tartrate, and N-Acetyl-Tyrosine help to stimulate protein synthesis and increased lean muscle mass.
I've tried regular creatine powders, concentrated creatine caplets and everything in between. 2XC tastes and mixes, no extra water retention, and a few added extras like l'carnitine which stood out to me. All around great product.
Loving the blend of creatine and glutamine HCl, tyrosine, carnitine and Astragin. Also love how you don't need to worry about a loading phase, or cycling on and off. The flavors all tastes good but I like fruit punch the best, It would be nice if they made an unflavored flavor in the future but otherwise overall great product.
excellent product! size & strength increase. Muscle are feeling thick. I'm loving it. Great tasting & mixes with no clumps. If your looking for a new Creatine, NUTRABOLICS: CREATINE 2XC is a MUST.
This is one of the must have creatine powders. Mixes great and tastes really good. Best part is that you get no bloat from it and very easy on the stomach. Other creatine made my stomach ache for hours. If you are looking for a premium creatine look no further
Great creatine goes down very well and I gotta say it's the best creatine I've tasted so far and I've tried four.
This product is my first time consume and recommend by seller. Seller said this product got 2 times creatine than others. Blueberry tasted is good.

Answer a few simple questions and we'll build your document.
How it works
A bill of sale is a document that is used to record the sale or purchase of personal property, such as a car, a laptop, or any other goods. Whether you are the seller of the property or the lucky buyer, a bill of sale helps to protect your legal rights and responsibilities by putting the agreement in writing before money changes hands. That way, you'll have proof of transfer of ownership, and you can refer to it if any questions arise about the sale of the object.
More than just a template, our step-by-step interview process makes it easy to create a Bill of Sale
Save, sign, print, and download your document when you are done.
Our step-by-step interview process makes creating a printable Bill of Sale easy.Make Document
When you're transferring goods to a buyer, a bill of sale form is the easiest way to make it legal. But just because a bill of sale is a fairly straightforward legal document doesn't mean you shouldn't know a few things before you start.
For real estate: If you're planning on transferring real estate property, you can't use a bill of sale form. Real estate transactions are simply much more complicated and require different forms, such as a quit claim deed, or forms available only from your state or local government. Consult with a real estate attorney or real estate agent if you're looking to transfer this kind of property.
For services: A bill of sale should be used when transferring goods, not when performing services. If services are involved (such as woodworking, babysitting, business consulting, etc.), it's a better idea to use a general contract for services.
For small sales: This is a matter of personal preference, but most people do not feel it necessary to use a bill of sale when transferring cheaper property. If you're selling a used guitar, a bill of sale makes a lot of sense. If you're selling a couple old fishing lures, it might be more trouble than it's worth.
For certain items or classes of property, you'll need to use a specific bill of sale. That's because those bills of sale will contain information required to make the sale legal. Here are a few of those types of bills of sale, all of which we provide.
Car bill of sale: Used car sales between two parties are incredibly common, but you can't use any bill of sale to transfer the ownership of a car. That's because a car bill of sale has specific information you need to provide to actually purchase (or sell) an automobile. For example, to legally sell a car, you'll need to let the buyer know the VIN number, the make and model of the car, the odometer reader, and whether or not that car is under any sort of warranty. Failure to provide that information can actually void the sale of the car.
A motorcycle bill of sale will contain nearly all that information as well. Omitting any of those details can likewise void the sale.
Boat bill of sale: Like a car bill of sale, a boat bill of sale contains information about the make, model, year, price, and valid warranty of the watercraft in question. But unlike a car, a boat has what's called a HIN (this stands for hull identification number.) Like a VIN, it's unique to each boat and is used by government agencies in keeping track of the ownership chain.
Taxes: as a seller, you may need to report the sale amount as part of your tax documents or for business accounting purposes.
As-Is: indicating on a bill of sale that you have sold property "as is" protects you as a seller if the buyer encounters problems with the item after purchase. For example, if a person buys an automobile from you and it breaks down after he or she drives away, you are not responsible for the repairs or damages.
Transfer of Ownership: a bill of sale also documents when the item was transferred to a new owner, which can be critical in certain cases. For example, if someone buys a gun from you and the gun is then used to commit a crime, a signed bill of sale form may be used as supportive evidence that you were not the owner of the firearm at the time of the crime.
Proof of Ownership: as a buyer, a bill of sale provides proof of ownership, allowing others to verify your rights to property. Whether registering a motorcycle at the DMV or totaling the value of your assets for a bank loan, the document serves as required proof of ownership.
Date of Ownership: other benefits include documentation of the date that you became owner of an item, preventing disputes about when the property was transferred. The value of the property as agreed on by buyers and sellers is also included on a bill of sale form, limiting conflict over how much was paid or received and/or when payment(s) were made.
Want to learn more about Bill of Sale forms? We've got you covered.
If you have any questions about what's right for you, we can connect you with a lawyer for quick answers or a document review.
