#Alaska #Death #Wilderness Hiker killed and Eaten by #Grizzly...Searcher Mauled!

http://www.ktva.com/story/38467047/search-underway-for-missing-eagle-river-hiker

An Eagle River man who went missing after he reportedly went out for a hike Monday has been found dead, with a searcher injured Wednesday after police say he was mauled by a bear.

Although Anchorage police initially said 44-year-old Michael Soltis had been killed by a brown bear, Alaska Department of Fish and Game officials didn't confirm that detail Wednesday.

Baritone Strings for my 6 string Epiphone

I needed some new strings and ordered Elixir Strings 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings w NANOWEB Coating, Baritone...

I did not even notice the BARITONE part of the description...so i got the strings Acoustic guitar strings constructed with 80/20 (80% copper, 20% zinc) bronze wrap wire Played for a crisp, bright tone with an expressive, vibrant presence Ultra-thin NANOWEB Coating provides a more traditionally textured, “uncoated” feel Our patented coating technology protects against common corrosion, extending tone life longer than any other brand’s coated or uncoated strings (Elixir Strings player survey) Baritone gauge: .016 .022 .030 .047 .059 .070 (perfect for players who frequently use drop-tuning)

very very sweet...these strings make my guitar sound like a real gibson...why have I never heard of these strings before? It's almost like I got a new guitar....
