"Walker County deserves credit for keeping us here because we were looking at a possible relocation," chief operating officer Mike Lee said. "Because the county was willing to work with us, this new investment will keep us operating here."
The company has a second operating location in Spartanburg, S.C., that was being considered for relocation of the plant, Walker County commissioner Bebe Heiskell said.
"We are so glad that United Synthetics has chosen to stay and make this expansion happen here," she said.
This reinvestment will pay for new operating equipment for the plant and a new warehouse to be constructed on the 16-acre site, she said.
"These plans will allow the LaFayette operation to remain competitive with the other operations the company has in different locations outside of Georgia," Heiskell said.
Walker County was not asked for any financial assistance with this project, she said.
United Synthetics is a subsidiary of Stein Fibers LLC, whose headquarters are in Albany, N.Y. The company operates several distribution facilities in places like Los Angeles and Vancouver for the polyester staple fibers it produces within the LaFayette and Spartanburg production plants.
The fibers are used in many applications, including furniture, medical devices, and household items such as pillows and comforters.
Lee said site preparation work should begin within a few weeks for the new warehouse, with actual construction of the building to begin mid October.
"We have already set the new production equipment in place," Lee said.
United Synthetics employees about 60 workers.

Matthew Ladnier IV was jailed Sunday in Harrison County on a misdemeanor false pretense charge. It was not clear if he had an attorney.
Biloxi police investigator Carl Short tells the Sun-Herald that Ladnier was questioned and his truck was towed Thursday after complaints that he was asking people to donate for the funeral of a boy hit by a truck Tuesday.
He says Ladnier was warned against posing as Blake Terrell's father.
Police say Ladnier was charged after getting his car without paying by telling towing company employees he was Terrell's father and couldn't pay for his son's funeral.

And why aren't you wearing a stormtrooper costume in the video?
Awesome bike.
Phat StormtrooperRe: Phat StormtrooperAnd why aren't you wearing a stormtrooper costume in the video?
Awesome bike. No, I am not the guy from http://www.atomiczombie.com - I had this screen name for years before I had even heard of that guy lol.
Re: Phat StormtrooperDUDE!! THAT THING IS CRAZY!! I SAW THE GHOST RIDER TOO. VERY COOL. THE LED'S HAVE GIVEN ME A FEW IDEAS.
Re: Phat StormtrooperHOW AN I GET ONE? I WOULD EVEN TAKE IN ONE KIT FORM AND PAINT IT TO MY LIKINGS AS I AM A CUSTOM PAINTER BY TRADE. PLEASE LET ME KNOW, VERY VERY VERY NICE WAY COOL BIKE!
Re: Phat StormtrooperThis is amazing, How about an R2-D2 Trike next??? OK, seriously, you did a fantastic job on this.
Cruisers are Cool, But Roadsters Rule
Re: Phat StormtrooperThanks a lot, guys, very pleasant for me 2 hear this
Re: Phat StormtrooperYou obviously have some phat manufacturing skills. This bike is...extremely hard to put into words. Entertaining does come to mind. I keep looking at and finding more and more interesting points you've made.
Do you build parts for others? I was particularly interested in the triple clamps for your forks. I could use a set like those for one of my bikes. Great work. What's on the drawing board?? Bryan
Re: Phat StormtrooperWow, phenomenal work! I love it. You nailed the look. It's so clean and well thought out. The attention to detail is like nothing I have ever seen. I'm speechless.
It doesn't matter what I paid for it, it matters what it's WORTH. I never buy anything I will regret KEEPING.
Re: Phat StormtrooperWith the best wishes for the new year 2012!!!
Re: Phat Stormtrooperdid you make that chain guard? if you did you should make a few more of those. there is like 2 companies making chain guards for stretched cruiser. i would rather have one of your chain guards then a dyno knock off. your bike is defiantly one of the baddest ever on this site.
Re: Phat StormtrooperI am not a huge fan of "theme bikes". But this thing is killer. Awesome job.
Re: Phat Stormtrooper
Yeah, I made fenders and chainguard. At first I created 3D-models: Then cut shapes from penoflex: And then made fenders and chaiguard, using fiberglass and resin: Now I'm starting a new project, so I'm really sorry - I can't do chainguards for sale - no much time;( But you can do it yourself - it's not difficult!)
Re: Phat StormtrooperThat's funny. You said "its easy"
Now I have a few questions. Is the tank part of the frame? Did you build it? Did you paint the bike yourself? Did you also make the rims? How much will it cost to ship it from russia to puerto rico? This bike and the swing monster bike are the most awesome builds I've seen. The level of knowledge required to make these pieces of art is astonishing. Amazed and my phone almost overloaded saving all these pictures!
Re: Phat Stormtrooper
When I said "it's easy", I mean "It's not difficult to create chainguard yourself" ))) Yes, the tank is the part of the frame. No, I didn't, it's Phat Stretch Delux's frame, I bought it in Germany) These rims you can also find in Germany - http://www.robsson.de/ About painting - you see, I'm a designer, not a painter. I can create anything in Photoshop or another graphic program, but I can't draw it in real life) So, here was the same situation - I've created design of every detail of this bike, found painters and then they painted frame, rims and frenders) Thanks)

At heart, he is deeply devoted to his first love, Naoko, a beautiful and introspective young woman. But their complex bond has been forged by a tragedy years before, until Midori, a girl who is everything that Naoko is not – outgoing, vivacious, supremely self-confident – marches into his life and Watanabe must choose between his past and his future.

Michael Mahoney, NYC Civic Corps Member
Life's been a variety show – I've been a geography researcher in Maine, a waiter in Quebec, a student in Sweden, a page in Washington D.C., a teacher in rural Japan, a journalist in Tokyo, and most recently, an editor in New York. When searching for my next adventure, I felt a need to make more of a difference in the world - specifically in New York. I wanted to engage my creative, publishing and interpersonal skills in a meaningful way. My search coincided with the launch of the New York City Civic Corps, which I was thrilled to discover. I saw the ad and applied the very same day.
The NYC Civic Corps sent me to work at United Way of NYC (UWNYC). UWNYC works to support NYC nonprofits dealing with income, education and health issues and runs a variety of initiatives to impact various sectors. I work primarily with BoardServeNYC, a newly-launched program that recruits and trains professionals to serve on the boards of NYC non-profit organizations. I recruit professionals to serve as volunteer board members - professionals who, like me, have a strong desire to "give back." (Visit www.BoardServeNYC.org to learn more about non-profit board service).
I've been very happy with my work so far, and my NYC Civic Corps year has been a great new chapter in my life. When I hear about the good work our board members are doing, it gives me a sense of fulfillment that I did not feel in my foodservice or publishing jobs. Now, if I could only find a way to put those Swedish language skills to use!

There are 396,416 registered voters in Cobb for the July 31 primary. And for those closely watching the actual vote results on Tuesday night, there will be some changes. Cobb's results will not be updated on the county's website or cable channel on Tuesday night. Rather, the Georgia Secretary of State's office has a new Election Night Reporting tool on its website that will provide a single results page for the entire state.
The website for results is www.sos.ga.gov/Elections.
"Our Agency's new ENR system is a great resource for Georgia voters," Brian Kemp, the secretary of state, said in a news release this week about the Election Night Reporting. "Information will be distributed efficiently, be interactive, and be able to be broken down to the precinct level."
Janine Eveler, director of Cobb County Elections, expressed support for the new process.
"We are very confident that the new system will work; the vendor operates in several states already," she told the Journal via email.
On Friday, the last day of early voting, the tight contest over whether to raise the sales tax for transportation in metro Atlanta continued to draw local residents to the polls.
In east Cobb, voters the Journal spoke to were unanimously against the TSPLOST, whereas in south Cobb, reviews were mixed. None of the voters interviewed spoke passionately about who they supported for county chairman.
Nancy and Vick Mitchell live in the Atlanta Country Club neighborhood.
"We voted no to the TSPLOST," Vick Mitchell said. "We don't trust the money. Too much has happened in the state of Georgia where money is squandered. Projects in Cobb and the city of Atlanta have not been able to be trusted."
In south Cobb, voters said they would like to see the results of the 1 percent tax increase.
Friends Betty Ferguson and Leota Rollins, senior citizens who both live in Mableton and voted together on Friday, said they want transportation in Cobb to be improved.
"The TSPLOST is the fairest tax and I think it is good," Ferguson said.
Added Rollins: "We need everyone's money to clean up our roads."
Arretta Gilbert, 63, lives in Austell and said south Cobb is in sore need of transportation improvement.
"I think the TSPLOST is good because the roads in this county need improving, especially in south Cobb," Gilbert said. "It's ridiculous."
Smyrna resident Richard Hembree, 44, cast his vote in south Cobb against the TSPLOST.
"It's way too much money going with no accountability," Hembree said. "Definitely a no."
On Tuesday, polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. To find your voting location, go to www.mvp.sos.state.ga.us.

Director's Spotlight - May 2010
Workers' Memorial Day 2010
A column by Department Director
Larry Rebman
Several hundred people gathered on the South Lawn of the Capitol on Wednesday, April 28th, to commemorate Workers' Memorial Day, an event of remembrance for Missouri workers who lost their lives while on the job in 2009. To further honor these workers and to promote safer workplaces, Gov. Jay Nixon recently proclaimed April 25 through May 1 as Workers Memorial Week in Missouri.
In years past, the ceremony has been a fairly small event, with the Labor Department Director presenting a proclamation from the Governor to the AFL-CIO. This year, however, the ceremony was a much larger occasion. Labor Department and AFL-CIO representatives were joined by the families of 18 of the workers who died while at work last year, as well as several Missouri State Senators and Representatives who lost constituents. Each family in attendance was presented with a personal proclamation from Governor Nixon, an American flag from their Senator, and a Missouri flag from their Representative. 22 Senators and 29 Representatives participated by providing these flags. Also joining the ceremony to honor the fallen was the Missouri Department of Corrections Color Guard and a bagpiper, the Honorable Bill McKenzie.
While the ceremony sought to honor those who lost their lives and their families, the Labor Department also wanted to emphasize that the emphasis of the ceremony should also be what all Missourians can do about workplace safety in the future. To reduce these accidents, the Labor Department offers no cost workplace safety training and programs to high-hazard businesses with 250 or fewer employees. Participation in the On-Site Safety and Health Program can lead to a reduction in workplace injuries and fatalities, as well as a reduction in the employer's workers' compensation insurance and out-of-pocket expenses.
The Department's Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program (SHARP) rewards small businesses that maintain a safe and healthy work environment. Once qualified, participants become members of the SHARP and benefit by achieving a reduction in workplace hazards, improved morale, increased worker productivity, and paying reduced workers' compensation premiums.
To further ensure workplace safety, a new law took effect on Aug. 28, 2009, which requires all contractors and subcontractors who work on public works projects to train their on-site employees on potential hazards they may encounter while working on the project, by taking a 10 hour OSHA construction safety class. If an on-site employee is found without proper documentation showing the course was completed, a $2,500 fine, plus $100 per day will be assessed to the contractor for each noncompliant employee.
It is our hope that all Missourians can use the lessons of Workers' Memorial Day to create a safer future in the workplace.

Art Fund Collect will take place on 13 May, at COLLECT. On the day, short-listed curators will be given special advance access to the fair, ahead of private buyers and VIP guests, enabling them to cherry-pick the very best works on offer.
Working against the clock, the curators will have just one hour to race around the fair, at London s Saatchi Gallery, and pick one item they wish to acquire for their institutions public collection. The expert panel of judges will examine their choices and decide who will win a share of the £75,000 prize from The Art Fund. Winning curators will be able to buy their chosen piece outright on behalf of their museum or gallery.
Stephen Deuchar, Director of The Art Fund, said: Ambition, originality and curatorial flair; these are qualities we were looking for in applications, and we are pleased to have found them in this years applications to Art Fund Collect. Its wonderful to see several institutions on the list that have been previously short-listed or won, as well as five new names. Each has already drawn up an impressive wish-list of artists whose work they hope to acquire, and we look forward keenly to seeing which ones will end up taking home a great new acquisition for their public collections.
Rosy Greenlees, Executive Director of the Crafts Council, said: I am delighted to be part of the committee for Art Fund Collect, and to have selected eleven museums and galleries for such a strong shortlist. It is great to see such a range of organisations represented from across the country, and this year we were particularly impressed with the curatorial ambition and vision that came through so boldly in the applications. I am sure that there will be some extremely exciting works purchased for public museums and galleries at Collect this year.
Edmund de Waal said: The crafts are vigorous, challenging- and beautiful. The ways in which they are collected and curated has undergone a sea change and this initiative by The Art Fund has stimulated ambitious thinking about what contemporary work should be in our museums. I was overwhelmed by the care and quality of the applications.
A total of 21 institutions applied to Art Fund Collect 2010.
Winners will be announced on the evening of 13 May at the private view of COLLECT. Decisions will be made based upon the ambition and expertise demonstrated by curators on the day through the work they select.
Last year, 23 curators applied, ten were short-listed and five walked away from Art Fund Collect with a beautiful piece to add to their permanent public collections, ranging from an elegant, one-off glass sculpture by Japanese maker Niyoko Ikuta for the V&A, to a highly intricate gold bracelet by Italian goldsmith Giovanni Corvaja for mima, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art.

"Do not fear, for I am with you;
Do not anxiously look about you,
for I am your God.
I will strengthen you…
I will uphold you"—Isaiah 41:10 (NASB).
Depression affects about 19 million people in the United States every year. In the past, depression was a taboo subject. People didn't talk about it because of the stigma associated with the word. If someone had a "nervous breakdown," the family hid the truth from the prying eyes of the community.
Thankfully, today, depression is out in the open. Many of us have felt sad or alone at some point. However, when the sadness becomes overwhelming or lingers for a long time, it may be a sign of depression. Depression symptoms can include insomnia, anxiety, dismal mood, panic, thoughts of suicide, loss of energy/weight/joy/libido/love for life. It may conjure up images of people staring through a window at a drizzly day.
Depressive illness, which is a medical condition, isn't like that Monday-morning I-hate-to-go- back- to-work feeling. It's not the down-in-the-dumps feeling you have when your return from a vacation to find your house in disarray because your hot water pipes burst. Depression is a medical fact, like breaking a leg, only the broken part is in the chemical circuitry of your brain. Depression can affect people's ability to work, study, interact with others or take care of themselves. It can be caused by imbalances in brain chemistry but can also be triggered by stress, poor nutrition, physical illness, and personal loss as well as school or relationship difficulties. Healing doesn't happen overnight.
In my early 40s, I was diagnosed with depression, triggered by marital problems. My mother fought it most of her adult life. If you have a family history, an event can activate the depressive state. For me, healing required counseling and medication. However, one of the greatest tools to healing has been my prayer journal.
Writing down my thoughts in a letter to God has helped me to see how valuable I am. My self-worth took a nosedive in my 40s when my husband (at the time) wanted a divorce because he was attracted to another woman. The fact that the woman was 20 years his junior didn't help my self-esteem either.
I sought self-worth in other things, including an extreme weight loss and rigid exercise routine, shopping for new clothes because I'd lost 55 pounds, a complete makeover which included a new hair color and seeking approval from others.
Through prayer journaling, I have been able to unravel the reasons my marriage failed. I have also come to realize that God loves me for who I am. I don't have to prove anything to Him. As I have overcome my depression, He has replaced it with joy. Psalm 30:11 says, "You turned my wailing into dancing; you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy."
The opposite of joy is sadness. However, it's hard to remain sad when your joy is found in the Lord. Nehemiah 8:10 says, "Do not grieve, for the joy of the Lord is your strength."

Christmas Tree Prints on 'Climbed paper', Tree Dedication prints and Exhibition posters.
Hello there and season's greetings! I'm now selling some UpTrees related art. Totally unique gifts with Christmas, family/friendship at the core.
I've been on a long sabbatical from tree climbing, although I've snuck a few in here and there including one in Sweden between buses on my return journey from Norway. Back in the UK now where it all began!
Some shots of Puneet Dadu's printing block after the action (see the 'Shop' for details):
I'm a little late for this Christmas 2011, but I'm sure there are less organised people like me who still need/want to find the ideal gift, so I thought I'd try and flog some metaphorical 'splinters' from my year climbing trees.

Service Stations in Brownstown, IN
Helpful Definition for: Service Stations
Service Stations, also known as a filling stations, in Brownstown, refer to a gas or petrol station that offer services such as oil change and mechanical repairs to automobiles. It is basically a facility which sells fuel and lubricants for motor vehicles. There are a few service stations in cities like Brownstown that sell only electric energy and are known as charging stations. Many service stations also combine small convenience stores and have added shops to the primary business.
Most service stations are built in a similar manner, with most of the fuelling installation underground. Local regulations and environmental concerns may require a different method, with some stations storing their fuel in container tanks.

Sail-World.com : Royal Prince Alfred YC Youth program to offer offshore racing lecture
Royal Prince Alfred YC Youth program to offer offshore racing lecture
'Bruce and Tina Hogan and the Perpetual Mocean crew made up of the RPAYC Youth Development squad2' Damian Devine
The Royal Prince Alfred Yacht Club is taking its youth development program to another level by providing seven selected students a comprehensive training on big boat offshore racing at Club Marine Pittwater & Coffs Harbour Regatta 2013. The youth development team will be composed of high school and university students and will undergo training under the tutelage of seasoned sailors such as Nicky Souter, Olympic silver-medal winner Nina Curtis, and America's Cup helmsman James Spithill and his sister, Katie Spithill.
This year the club's youth development program has added another component to its training repertoire - big boat offshore racing.
The January Club Marine Pittwater & Coffs Harbour Regatta and the generosity of one owner is giving some of the current youth development recruits wanting to venture out of Broken Bay and Sydney Harbour a handy leg up into bluewater racing.
Bruce Hogan and Tina Clifton, owners of the sporty Marten 49, Perpetual Mocean, will add another dimension to the sailing CV's of seven youth development sailors when they set off on January 2, 2013, in the Club Marine Pittwater to Coffs Harbour yacht race.
Hogan and RPAYC club coach, Tom Spithill, have put the inaugural program together with Spithill responsible for training and the final selection of the seven chosen from the original pool of 11. The youth development team will be joined and mentored by an experienced ocean racing crew for the annual sprint up to the tropical mid north NSW coast.
Ranging in age from 15 to 20, the high school and university students are champing at the bit to be chosen for the 226 nautical mile on the 49 footer.
Given it's a category 2 offshore race, there is no minimum age of 18, giving those less than the voting age a taste of the adrenaline and what it's like to race day and night, eat salty sandwiches and snatch sleep in short stints on a bucking bed.
The 'kids', as Spithill affectionately calls them, like racing fast and exciting skiffs. The Marten is a major drawcard because it's a high performance boat, they will be sailing with good mates who are a similar age and they will play an active role on board.
'It's an unusual stepping stone from centreboard to keel boats,' says Spithill, adding 'a lot of the time young people are asked to stay out of the way when they are trying to learn about big boats'.
Spithill predicts a humdinger in the 40-50 foot range with the two DK46s, the Farr 45 Pretty Woman, the Beneteau 45 Victoire, the Kerr 43 Kerisma and the Corby 43 Anger Management, among others.
Knowing they needed crew, Spithill mustered his understated charm and approached Bruce and Tina with the idea of helping the club's youth development program by giving select youth the opportunity to add offshore experience to their already well developed skill set.
'We said yes for a number of reasons, one being Tom,' admitted Hogan. 'He's earnest and trustworthy and believes in what he's doing, which was compelling for us. We believe in giving young people an opportunity to enhance their skills, and we have had the full support of the RPAYC from the board down.'
Under Spithill's guidance, the youth crew are being put through their paces on Perpetual Mocean in the RPAYC's five-race bluewater series. They have also had the opportunity to complete the gruelling Sea Safety and Survival Course, including life raft drills at the Qantas pool, to understand what can go wrong at sea and how to best manage emergency situations.
'The forces are so much greater on a bigger boat and everyone has to understand exactly what their job is should an emergency arise. Everyone on the crew will also have to read our standard operating procedures and understand them,' said Hogan.
Perpetual Mocean won line honours in the 2009 race - Damian Devine
Perpetual Mocean was crowned line honours winner of the Pittwater to Coffs race in 2009 and competed again in 2010.
'It's a terrific event which starts with a testing race without being as gruelling as heading south but still, it takes a lot of discipline and focus,' said Hogan. 'We also enjoy the outstanding camaraderie and spirit at the Alfreds, the professionalism with which it's all put together then, once we reach Coffs we get to do a few fun races and enjoy a relaxing holiday cruise back to Sydney.'
Bruce Hogan was a latecomer to the sport, first stepping on a boat as he approached 50. Having watched Sydney Harbour come alive each Wednesday afternoon with twilight racing from his high-rise office, he decided he was missing out and ten years later Bruce and his wife are enjoying their third boat.
Being boat owners who like to cruise and race, Bruce and Tina know that having well trained and enthusiastic crew allows them to put together a race program.
'I don't have any expectation that I'm developing crew for myself,' assures Hogan. These are people I hope will have their skills enhanced and some, but not all, will continue to want to do it. That resource will be available to everyone.'
