Happy Holidays from the crew at Box K Auto Repair! As a friendly reminder we will be closed from December 21, 2013 until January 2, 2014. This allows plenty of family time for us. We hope you have a safe and happy holiday and we will look forward to seeing you in the New year.
Don't top off. Don't bother topping off when filling your car's gas tank. Any additional gas is just going to slop around or seep out. Why waste your money paying for gas your car won't use? Stop pumping at the first indication that your tank is full when the automatic nozzle clicks off.
Tighten up that gas cap. Gas will evaporate from your car's gas tank if it has an escape. Loose, missing or damaged gas caps cause 147 million gallons of gas to evaporate each year, according to the Car Care Council. So be sure to tighten up that gas cap each time you fuel up your car.
Go for the shade. The hot summer sun that makes the inside of your car feel like a sauna also zaps fuel from your gas tank.
"If you let your car bake in the sun there's going to be a greater amount of evaporative emissions that take place than if you park in the shade," says Jim Kliesch, research associate at the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy and vehicle analyst for GreenerCars.com.
So park your car in the shade of a building or tree whenever possible. And buy a good windshield shade. A windshield shade blocks sunlight and helps to keep heat out of the inside of your car.
Use your garage for your car. Got a garage? Clear it out and make room for your car. Parking in your garage will help your car stay warm in winter and cool in summer, and you won't have to depend as much on your gas-guzzling air-conditioning or defroster when you drive.
Pump up your tires. Don't get caught driving on under inflated tires. Under inflated tires wear down more quickly and they also lower your car's gas mileage.
"Tires that have low pressure offer more resistance so the engine is going to work harder to keep the car at 60," says Brian Moody, road test editor at Edmunds.com.
Your car's gas mileage may plummet by as much as 15 percent. Driving on under inflated tires may also reduce the life of your tires by 15 percent or more.
Check your tire pressure once a month. Buy a digital gauge and keep it in your glove box. Compare the pressure in your tires with the recommended pressure listed in your owner's manual and on the placard in your car door. Then inflate your tires as needed. Be sure to check tire pressure when your tires are cold. A good time is early in the morning after your car's been idle overnight.
Keep your engine in tune. Fixing a car that is out of tune or has failed an emissions test can boost gas mileage by about 4 percent. So be sure to give your car regular tune-ups. You'll also want to watch out for worn spark plugs. A misfiring spark plug can reduce a car's fuel efficiency by as much as 30 percent.
Replace air filters. Keep a close eye on your engine's air filter. When the engine air filter clogs with dirt, dust and bugs, it causes your engine to work harder and your car becomes less fuel-efficient. Replacing a clogged air filter could improve your gas mileage by as much as 10 percent and save you 15 cents a gallon. It's a good idea to have your engine air filter checked at each oil change. The Car Care Council recommends changing your car's air and oil filters every three months or 3,000 miles or as specified in your owner's manual.
Use the right oil. You can improve your car's gas mileage by 1 percent to 2 percent by using the manufacturer's recommended grade of motor oil. Opt for motor oil with the words "energy conserving" on the API performance label. This oil contains friction-reducing additives.
Don't skimp on maintenance. Be serious about auto care. Your car's performance depends on it.
"Always follow the manufacturer-recommended maintenance," Moody says. "The car's designed to run a certain way. If you neglect it, it won't be as efficient."
Obey the car-care guidelines outlined in your owner's manual

Want to know how the economy's doing? Look at the roads. Inrix Corp compiles data from the GPS units in people's cars they say that traffic congestion has increased 10 percent in 2010 compared with 2009. But traffic is still 27 percent off its pre-recession peak in 2007.Inrix rates congestion in what it calls the "travel time tax," a measure of how much longer it would take to travel a given route in traffic than it would when there is no congestion, such as in the middle of the night. The company found that the travel time tax amounted to more than 80 hours annually of delays in peak evening travel times for some commuters. Some commuters in the 10 worst travel corridors are on track to spend an entire month per year stuck in traffic, according to the report. Most congestion is in the evening hours on roads the Federal Highway Administration dubs "Urban Interstates."The study highlights some trends that commuters could take as useful tips: The worst traffic of the week is on Friday nights between 5 and 6 p.m. Evening rush hour on Thursdays and Fridays occurs about 15 minutes earlier than on other days of the week, peaking between 5:15 and 5:30 p.m.Tuesdays are the busiest mornings, beating out Wednesdays in previous years. Morning congestion peaks between 7:45 and 8 a.m. Congestion in 2010 was higher during every hour of the week – except for a small decrease on Saturday evenings. Even weeknight traffic in the middle of the night increased as the result of more roadwork. Based on the study, Inrix expects traffic delays to be back to record levels in 2011. Lets not take for granted those of us who work and live on the Peninsula wont have to worry about spending a month out of our year in traffic.
Its that time of year we may be planning a road trip. Rather than having the kids plugged in the whole trip how about some car games.
Give your kids an allowance for the day.
Tell them that this money is for snacks, treats, souvenirs etc… but when it is gone, that is all there is. Help them learn to budget their money and make good choices.
Let your children have a map
Give your kids an opportunity to have their own copy of a map of where you are going. Show them how far you have come, how much further there is to go and let them mark it with a crayon. Every time they ask "How much further?" have them take out their map and see for themselves. You might also like to get a compass and show them how it works along with the map.
Also kids who are old enough to read can help navigate with Travmatix. You can use this site to print driving directions along with a list of all the food, fuel and hotel options at every exit along your route. When they start getting hungry or need a break, have them check the list of what is available at upcoming exits!
MAKE a "map" of where you are going.
Draw your own that has the major stops and cities, and a nice happy drawing for your final destination. Throw in a few simple drawings of landmarks you'll see along the way, such as a big bridge you'll or a mountain tunnel. A home made map is easy for kids to follow and gives them a clearer picture of how much further there is to go. If your kids are old enough and it's a trip that you take frequently, have the kids make their own map!
Have bubble gum blowing contests
The weirder the gum the better. Get it at the rest areas and try all the different flavors.
The License Plate Game
Print a U.S. map off the computer and color in the states as you see license plates from each one. See if you can get all 50 states between Memorial Day and Labor Day. You might even record the time and date and the state where you saw it. This can be a family project as you build your "collection" of license plates together. Here's a collection of printable maps you can use for this game, or a simple List of the States to check off. Check out my article on the License Plate Game
Odd or Even
Game for two players – Have each child guess if there are more license plates that end in an odd or even number. (plates that end in a letter do not count)
1. Give each child a blank sheet of paper and a pencil, or something to mark with.
2. Set a time limit, usually 10-15 minutes.
3. Have one child look for plates that end in an odd number, and the other look for an even number.
4. A tick mark or dash should be marked for each car they find. (For extra learning, have them group the marks in sets of 5)
4. At the end of the time limit, have the children add up their marks. (Counting by 5's if grouping was used)
What did I bring on my Trip?
Start this game out by saying, "I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing…" . The first player should name an item that starts with the letter "A". After "A" , the next player will say the same thing but with the letter "B", and so on.
Out of 300 Washington AAA repair shops, Box K Auto has earned AAA's coveted "Top Shop" every year since 1999 – and that's the year the award was founded.

Before being eligible for a AAA Top Shop Award, Box K Auto met the precise standards needed to be part of the AAA Approved Auto Repair network.
Let our ASE Certified Technicians take care of your next brake job with quality parts to ensure safe brakes for your vehicle.
Please take a moment to watch this short informative video!
You may save $75 or $80 dollars with a cheap brake job, but is it worth putting your family at risk? We'd like to help you keep your car running as safely and smoothly as possible.
Providing clear, comprehensive information to your mechanic can save them diagnostic time, resulting in more efficient vehicle repair, ultimately saving you money.
The more specific and thorough you can be about your vehicle's performance, the more you help the technician zero in on the problem. Here are some pointers on improving communications with your auto technician:
Good two-way communication shouldn't end when you pick up your car. Arrive in enough time to talk to the technician and test-drive your car so you can bring it back immediately if the problem persists.

Geneva 2011: Nissan turns over a new, sporting Leaf with Esflow Concept [w/video]
by Jeff Glucker (RSS feed) on Mar 1st, 2011 at 2:00PM
If a Nissan 370Z the electric boogaloo with a Leaf, the lovechild would be the Nissan Esflow. The two-seat Esflow is a rear-wheel-drive electric sports car that promises its only emissions will be some why-so-serious smiles. A pair of electric motors sits above the rear wheels. Power from these units is sent independently, meaning the Esflow utilizes one engine per drive wheel. This, Nissan says, allows the Esflow to precisely meter out the torque and turn it into powerful forward acceleration. Thanks to this system, Nissan says Esflow will run from 0-62 miles per hour in under five... Read More

Who can we believe? The recent debacle of the discredited accuser in the Dominique Strauss-Kahn case has put the issue of credibility front and center of our national (and international) discourse. There is a science of credibility. It is part of the research on the psychology of deceiving and detecting deceit, which was my primarily scholarly preoccupation before I pointed my passions to the study of singles.
A remarkable series of studies was just published in the most recent (July) issue of Human Communication Research. The studies, by Tim Levine and his colleagues, document the power of one particular factor - a person's looks (demeanor) - on other people's judgments of whether or not that person is lying.
There are people who just look honest and trustworthy - both when they really are communicating honestly and deserve to be believed, and when they are lying. Then there are the more unfortunate types who just chronically look dishonest - both when they are lying and deserve to be disbelieved, and when they are telling the truth. That's what I mean by "looks" in this post. The authors call it "demeanor."

Trauma Informed Care
|Liz Mullinar, Di Frost
|Trauma Informed Care Workshop Description
Trauma effects both the physiological and psychological development of a person.
Heal For Life Foundation (formerly Mayumarri) has been operating a highly successful, trauma-informed recovery model for over 12 years across Australia. The consumer orientated model has been independently researched and proven to be successful. Heal For Life presents training for organisations who are working with people with mental illness, addiction, eating disorders, homelessness, domestic violence, isolation, bullying and lack of self-esteem, many of whom have experienced childhood trauma and/or abuse.
Trauma Informed Care is a relatively new approach to supporting survivors of trauma in their healing and recognises that survivors, with all of their symptoms, are having a normal reaction to an abnormal experience. For many years, childhood trauma and abuse have not been considered as having any significant relation to social welfare issues. Survivors of childhood trauma and abuse had their own (albeit limited) services and drug and alcohol, mental health, homelessness and other major social issues were considered separately.
This has led to the extraordinary situation where the cause of the problems have been treated separately from the symptoms despite the obvious logic that the symptoms cannot really be helped without addressing the cause. This style of service delivery has often led to low success rates and a lack of job satisfaction.
Organisations such as Heal For Life (HFL), which is run by survivors of trauma, know how we want and need to be treated for optimum success. Neuroscience has also informed us about the impacts of trauma on the brain and the behavioral issues that may result. At HFL we have discovered that what the scientists say and what we as survivors know, are one and the same. It is this knowledge and understanding that is the basis for the Trauma Informed Care Workshop.
The Trauma Informed Care workshop covers the physiological and behavioural impacts of trauma, issues and strategies for the care and recovery of clients,
and interactive exercises designed to address specific scenarios relevant to participants. The workshop gives participants the opportunity to develop further skills at applying a trauma informed approach within their workplace.
Learning Outcomes for the Trauma Informed Care Workshop
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:
1. State why a trauma informed approach to clients is important
2. Identify clients who may have experienced trauma from their symptoms

6. Describe the parts of the brain impacted by trauma
7. Describe the different impact of trauma on the 2 brain hemispheres
8. Discuss how trauma impacts on adolescent brain development
9. Describe the common autonomic nervous system responses when clients are 'triggered'
10. Describe the hormonal response when the autonomic nervous system is activated
11. Describe how healing the effects of trauma on the brain comes about through neural plasticity
12. List the fundamentals of trauma informed practice
a. State how to establish safety for the client and how to apply it in their workplace
b. Describe why developing an empathic relationship is vital to recovery of survivors of trauma
c. Describe how to provide a non-hierarchical, empowering service for clients
d. Describe the importance of inclusive, non-judgmental language and how to apply it in their workplace

Patient Activator's new Web Feed ensures that all the leading search platforms, directories and mobile GPS providers regularly receive accurate, up-to-date data for member dentists. The rich information provided to the targeted local search sites includes the dentist's practice name, address, office hours, specialties, phone and email contact information, website and logo.
"Our Web Feed gives Patient Activator® member dentists a decisive advantage when it comes to attracting new patients online," said 1-800-DENTIST® founder Fred Joyal. "We're making sure our clients get maximum exposure in search engines."
Local search listings are essential to growing a successful dental practice in today's Web-centric world. Patient Activator's Web Feed reaches the sites where over 90 percent of U.S. consumer local searches occur. When prospective patients look for dentists online, Patient Activator member dentists will appear on more of the most frequently searched websites.
"We're significantly improving our clients' online presence and the best part is they don't have to do a thing to enjoy the benefits," said Jeanne Anderson, Patient Activator's Vice President of Product Management. "Our Web Feed feature is automatic and is offered at no extra charge as part of our core service."
"Patient Activator® is leading the way in providing dentists with best-of-class social media optimization and patient communication solutions," Anderson added.

Bank-Failure Details Are Leaked Again
CHICAGO ( TheStreet) -- Regulators are trying to make deals to sell the assets of Corus Bankshares (CORS) by the end of the month, according to a published report.
The New York Times said on Thursday that regulators were looking to "cleave the bank in two and sell its banking operations and condominium loans separately."
This is the third time in the past month that details have emerged in advance of a large bank's failure.
News of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp.'s intention to sell the deposits and branches of Guaranty Bank to Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA (BBV) leaked on Aug. 20, and Guaranty failed the next day.Early on Aug. 14, Dow Jones reported that Colonial BancGroup was set to be seized by regulators, with the FDIC selling its deposits to BB&T (BBT). The FDIC announced Colonial's failure after the close of business that day. Since those two leaks occurred right before the banks were seized by regulators, they probably didn't cause much damage, but the early release of the details of an FDIC auction of a failing bank's assets at an earlier stage in the process could cause an outflow of deposits. Of course, with Corus reporting that it was insolvent as of June 30 with negative capital ratios, any depositors with balances exceeding FDIC insurance limits were likely to have already taken action. The FDIC's temporary increase of the basic individual deposit insurance limit to $250,000 (set to expire) has limited the likelihood of runs on deposits at troubled banks. The temporary increase on individual deposit insurance coverage has been extended to the end of 2013. The temporary waiver of all limits on non-interest-bearing transaction accounts (mainly business-checking accounts) has been an even bigger factor in limiting the chances of deposit runs, since even small businesses can keep very large sums of operating funds in these accounts. Deposit coverage on these checking accounts is set to revert to the standard $100,000 limit on June 30, 2010.

Free or reduced-price meal guidelines for child care centers available
The Department of Education's Child and Adult Nutrition Services announces the federal policy for free and reduced-price meals in child care agencies participating in the Child and Adult Care Food Program for 2005-06.
The program allows children whose families are unable to pay the price of meals served at a child care agency to receive those meals free. A list of participating agencies can be found at doe.sd.gov/oess/cans. This list also includes participating schools.
Each child care agency that participates in the program has a copy of its meal policy available for review. Each agency also has applications available. Information provided on the application is confidential and used only for the purpose of determining eligibility.
Many child care centers do not charge for meals; however, they will ask parents to complete the applications for free and reduced-price meals. This practice helps to ensure that centers continue to receive full federal reimbursement and are able to provide the service to those who need it.
For those centers that do charge for meals, the policy applies to children whose families are unable to pay the full price of meals. These families may apply for free or reduced-price meals for 2005-06, according to guidelines effective July 1, 2005.
Children from households that are currently on Food Stamps, Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) are automatically eligible to receive free meals at a child care center. In order to receive the free meals, they must provide their case number on the application or present a letter stating that they are eligible for one of these programs. Children who are Head Start participants based on income automatically are eligible for free meals. Families should contact their local child care center for detailed information.
Children who receive free or reduced-price meals are treated the same as children who pay for meals. No child will be discriminated against in accordance with federal law and U.S. Department of Agriculture policy. This institution is prohibited from discriminating on the basis of race, color, national origin, sex, age, or disability.
To file a complaint of discrimination, write USDA, Director, Office of Civil Rights, Room 326-W, Whitten Building, 1400 Independence Avenue, SW, Washington, D.C. 20250-9410 or call (202) 720-5964 (voice and TDD). USDA is an equal opportunity provider and employer. If a child needs a special diet as prescribed by a doctor, the family should contact the local center's food service manager.
Click on the link below to view the income scales used to determine an applicant's eligibility for free or reduced-price meals. The same income guidelines apply to the National School Lunch and School Breakfast Programs.

On a 3-2 vote on Oct. 2, the Jeffco school board approved an amended version of a plan to review the Advanced Placement U.S. history curriculum.
A new committee will not be formed, but changes to the district's two existing curriculum review committees were approved. The two committees will add community members and students to help in the curriculum review process.
The two existing committees will report directly to the board. Before last Thursday night's decision, the existing curriculum review committees had reported only to district administration.
The owners of row after row of motorcycles parked behind Columbine High School didn't know one another. Yet they all knew why they were at the school on a Sunday morning clad in leather, jeans and bandanas.
More than a thousand bikers made the 45-mile ride Sunday morning from Columbine High to Platte Canyon High for the ninth Emily's Parade to honor victims of school violence. The event is named for Emily Keyes, the 16-year-old student shot and killed in 2006 during a hostage situation at Platte Canyon High School.
The county commissioners have four months to decide whether to allow marijuana sales, grow operations and manufacturing in unincorporated Jeffco, after a divided task force recently recommended that the county just say no.
The county's current moratorium on retail marijuana sales expires Feb. 1, and the commissioners apparently have several issues still to ponder despite the two reports recently provided by their pot task force.
Littleton doesn't know if a new outdoor display policy downtown is working because no businesses have applied for a special permit to display merchandise on the sidewalk.
The Littleton City Council in May approved a zoning ordinance allowing businesses to display merchandise on the sidewalk with a free permit up to three times a month and 36 times a year. The displays had been illegal before, but the code hadn't been enforced.
Susan Klebold, the mother of Columbine High School gunman Dylan Klebold, is set to write a book dealing with her family's struggle to come to terms with the horrific events of April 20, 1999.
The Crown Publishing Group, a branch of Penguin Random House, announced the deal Sept. 23.
For Inter-Canyon Fire Chief Randy Simpson, Sept. 20 was a day of reflection as his department celebrated 60 years of providing fire, medical and emergency services to the community.
"I feel honored today," Simpson said. "This department started out with just a few guys who thought we needed a fire department up here. Now it's a sophisticated department with volunteers and equipment."
Two projects involving flood control and stormwater detention in South Jeffco will get underway a year ahead of schedule with funds from a postponed project.
The county's Development and Transportation Department will shift funds to make improvements at Beer Sisters Lake Reservoir north of Bowles Avenue and east of Simms Street, and in the Massey Draw on the Deer Creek Golf Course. The funding came from a project at Mount Olivet Reservoir that's been delayed by an easement issue.

For the Courier
Two new businesses will be moving into the Aspen Grove shopping center on South Santa Fe Drive in the next two months.
Brilliant Sky Toys and Books has leased the space formerly occupied by Build-A-Bear, and Fab'rik, which sells designer women's apparel, will open in what used to be a Lucky Jeans store.
Student protests and teacher sick-outs in Jeffco Public Schools have put the county's K-12 system at the center of national media coverage and further polarized the already-strife-torn school district.
Two weeks ago, school board member Julie Williams, one of three conservatives elected last November, proposed a curriculum review committee designed to boost patriotism and downplay civil disorder in Advanced Placement history classes.
Jeffco Schools Superintendent Dan McMinimee said he's concerned after a high number of teacher absences closed two more district high schools Monday, and he raised the possibility of docking the instructors a day's pay.
"I'm really disappointed," McMinimee said Monday afternoon. "If I was a parent, I'd be really upset if a day was taken way from my student."

Research Ethics Board
Research Ethics Board
Welcome to the website of the Saint Mary's University (SMU) Research Ethics Board (REB).
The SMU REB reviews and approves research involving human participants under the jurisdiction of Saint Mary's University and NSCAD University as well as serves as the Appeals Board for Mount Saint Vincent University. All research with human participants must be reviewed and approved by the REB before being carried out.
This website has been designed to help you learn about the ethical principles and preparations that are involved with conducting research with human participants, determine what policies and procedures relate to your own work, review previous questions from your peers, note when education sessions are being held, opportunities for consultation, and to utilize the resources and forms needed for a submission to the SMU REB.
The Policy
Canada's three federal research agencies, CIHR, NSERC and SSHRC, jointly created the Interagency Advisory Panel on Research Ethics (PRE of the Panel) as part of a collaborative effort to promote the ethical conduct of research involving human participants.
The Panel develops, interprets and implements the Tri-Council Policy Statement: Ethical Conduct for Research Involving Humans (TCPS 2) and requires that all faculty, student, staff, funded or unfunded research proposals that involve human participants and fall under the TCPS 2 be brought before the REB for review and approval. Please note that the electronic version of the TCPS 2 is the official version of the Policy. The TCPS 2 replaced the 1st edition of the TCPS on November 29, 2010.
The REB advises all prospective applicants to read the Tri-Council Policy Statement and complete the TCPS 2 Course on Research Ethics (CORE) online tutorial. The tutorial will help applicants familiarize themselves with the TCPS 2 and consider their research in this light.
The Board
The Saint Mary's University REB is a Senate appointed Committee mandated to review and approve research proposals that involve human participants. The REB provides a service to the University community by working together with researchers to identify and resolve ethical issues in their research in order to protect the interests of research participants, maximize the benefits of the research and minimize harms.
The Board consists primarily of faculty members as well as members from the community. The REB is empowered to approve, reject, propose modifications to, suspend or terminate research activity that involve human participants and fall under the jurisdiction of Saint Mary's University. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
For more information, please see the Frequently Asked Questions or to better understand how policies relate to your research and feel free to contact the Office of Research Ethics at email@example.com or 420-5728.
We seek to improve our procedures for implementing the TCPS 2 and our SMU REB policies and appreciate comments and recommendations you may have.
No research with human participants shall begin before approval is received from the University's Research Ethics Board. Research protocols must have a valid Certificate of Acceptability/Continuation for Research Involving Humans.
Upcoming SMU Community Research Ethics Education Session:

Gov. Steve Bullock has named the five commissioners of the new Montana State Parks & Recreation Board.
The Legislature earlier this year passed a bill creating the board. It will oversee state recreation spots previously managed by the Fish, Wildlife and Parks Commission.
Supporters of the change say the parks in the past have been overshadowed by the wildlife and hunting issues that dominate the other board's agenda.
Bullock named the commissioners Friday: Mary Sexton of Choteau, Diane Conradi of Whitefish, Jeff Welch of Livingston, Douglas Smith of Dagmar and Tom Towe of Billings.
Towe will be the board's chairman.
State officials say 2 million people visit Montana's 54 state parks each year and generate roughly $300 million for the economies of nearby communities.
Governor appoints 5 to first state parks board

Top 5 Chardonnay at the LCBO
Casablanca Valley, Chile
The main white grape of Burgundy has become ubiquitous in the wine world, and remains one of the most popular of the "international" grape varieties. Planted all over the globe, from the most southerly regions of New Zealand to Québec's Eastern Townships, the Chardonnay grape itself is relatively neutral, with many of the flavours commonly associated with the grape being derived more from the specific climate and geology or the vinification and aging methods than from any intrinsic aromatic components. In fact, the notes of butter and vanilla, so often associated with chardonnay, are actually derived from oak and a process called malolactic fermentation, rather than from the grape itself. With such a transparent character, it shouldn't be a surprise to see it vinified in many different styles, from the elegant, "flinty" wines of Chablis to rich, buttery Meursaults and New World wines with tropical fruit flavors. Chardonnay is also an important component of many sparkling wines around the world, including Champagne.

Obama and Leopard Skin Underwear
You Tube prophet and genuine American probably holding a handgun license, The Third Eagle, was the guy who told us about Gangham Style's Psy warnings of the end times.
Now he's on the job interpreting the Super Bowl blackout and that the "Hyundai commercial is an end times prophecy."
In case you were wondering, and I know you were, God caused the blackout. Leopard underwear symbolizes Barack Obama, a wave signifies the Masonic sign for s-e-x, and Alicia Keyes sings woo-woo-woo-woo-woo five times which means the end times is upon us and then there's some damn thing about the whore of Babylon in a Hyundai commercial.
Honey, I did not find this much symbolism in Moby Dick.

Embracing the Ink Evolution
Annual State of the Ink Report
The technological evolution moves quickly in the world of print, and judging from compelling news about advancements in digital inks, it�s not likely to grow stagnant anytime soon. UV-curable and other equally environmentally friendly inks are quickly finding a leadership position in wide format print. However, it is not necessarily their sustainability that entices print service providers (PSPs) to implement the technology.
�Ink choice is important in the display permanence and durability of a print, although there are other factors to consider, including media characteristics, pre-treatment, post-treatment, how the particular print is used, and whether it is displayed indoors or outdoors,� notes Ross Allen, Ph.D., senior technology specialist, Hewlett-Packard (HP) Graphics Solutions Business.
The eventual usage of ink or the completed application, certainly plays a factor in PSPs� ink decisions. In January 2010,
Ink manufacturers work to improve upon pre-existing technologies and embrace change. �The inherent versatility of inkjet technology�and now the availability of a wider range of inkjet inks�push the envelope and the industry even further,� reports Michael White, wide format sales manager, Agfa Graphics.
Flexibility in Ink
UV inkjet�s reach is extending beyond traditional signage and large format graphics applications. �The advent of UV-curable technology allows companies and industries to produce high-quality prints on various substrates including plastics, metals, and glass,� reports Ken D. Kisner, president, INX Digital International Co.
He cites other industries such as the tag and label market investing in UV-curable technology for narrow web printing. Other companies are able to create prototypes on demand now as well, thanks to UV-curable ink.
Stephen Sung, Ph.D., UV technical and commercial director, Collins Ink Corporation, agrees with Kisner�s observation regarding the range of substrates UV adheres to, adding industrial-type items such as ceramics to the list.
Ink designed for hybrid printers calls for both a scratch-resistant and flexible product for flatbed and roll-to-roll, respectively. Interestingly, the ability to stretch printed materials without ink cracking, also referred to as increased flexibility, is another characteristic of importance to DO readers. Tied with improved UV stability at 18 percent, many PSPs acknowledge UV as a solution that caters to this need.
Several ink manufacturers are working on increasing the flexibility of ink. �It usually requires two types of inks to ensure flexibility and scratch resistance; however, Bordeaux Digital PrintInk Ltd. created inks to solve this issue, with our product designation Plasma PLFx. This UV-curable ink is designed to work well on both flatbed and roll-to-roll printers,� says Steve Igoe, North American sales manager, Bordeaux.
New this year, Agfa UV flexible inks that are 40 percent more flexible than the company�s current selection of UV inks, with no compromises to adhesion or color quality. They are compatible with all Agfa :Anapurna M series printers. �These inks allow users to expand into new applications and print on a wide range of substrates, which in the end help users grow business,� shares White.
�There are improvements in UV ink components, such as a high degree of flexibility. However, one of the biggest pitfalls is the skin-irritation factor during handling. A good printer system should have enough safeguards built in to avoid this,� explains Sung.
Igoe acknowledges that UV inks do have drawbacks. �Although there is no harmful solvent, the inks carry a characteristic monomer odor, which may bother some individuals. Operators must avoid exposure to the curing lamps when in use.�
LED Light
Steve Emery, director, ink sales and marketing, EFI, notes that UV LED offers considerable savings on energy usage, and significantly lengthens the span of time between lamp replacement.
Bordeaux�s Igoe shares, �Printing equipment using this technology requires less energy, while the life of the curing source is increased.� He warns, however, that this new breed of UV-curable inks is more costly than its UV predecessors.
INX Digital�s Kisner says LED-curing technology offers a compelling alternative to print service suppliers. However, he explains, �this technology also provides less power for curing the ink and making it an interesting challenge for inkjet chemists.�
Eco-Ink One Step Further
�These inks use aqueous-dispersed polymer technology to deliver display permanence and scratch-, smudge-, and water-resistance�on water-resistant media,� says Allen. The water-based solution allows for odorless prints that emit low levels of volatile organic compounds.
Available in six colors, the pigmented inks offer a wide color gamut. Prints come off the printer dry and ready to handle�streamlining print production workflow. Additionally, HP Latex Inks do not contain materials that require hazard-warning labels and are non-flammable and non-combustible.
�Many 3M customers express interest in HP Latex Ink technology,� notes Jennifer Greenquist, inks and warranties business manager, 3M Graphics Market Center. �3M already has a Performance Guarantee Program for selected films printed on certain HP printers that use HP�s Latex Inks. We continue to explore opportunities with this technology.�
Dye-sublimation (dye-sub) print is garnering attention too, but much of the research and development (R&D) is in new fabrics compatible with dye-sub inks, according to Dana Curtis, product manager, Roland DGA Corporation.
�The majority of R&D investment focuses on the development of UV LED inks, and depending on the success of their initial release, latex or alternative green inks are yet to be defined,� he predicts.
Graphics One, LLC is one company investing in alternative eco-friendly inks. Launching at the International Sign Association�s (ISA) ISA Sign Expo in April 2010, SEPIAX ink uses a water-based resin. The ink prints on both coated and uncoated substrates and is used both indoors and outdoors. Lasting up to three years outdoors without any lamination, it offers a color gamut similar to OEM eco-solvent inks, but dries similarly to UV-curable ink. A heat fixation method is used to adhere the ink to the substrate. Compatible with all Epson piezo printheads, SEPIAX ink is non-toxic, non-flammable, and odorless.
�There is a worldwide green movement occurring and the large format industry is no exception. SEPIAX ink is environmentally friendly and prints on virtually any substrate. This means it replaces most non-green inks being used by the large format industry today,� comments Dan Barefoot, president, Graphics One.
Survival of the Fittest
Reed Hecht, product manager, professional imaging, Epson, sees aqueous inks differently. �Aqueous printers are the backbone of almost every industry that utilizes digital printing�photography, proofing, graphic design, and fine art. All are built on aqueous technology.�
Epson�s UltraChrome HDR and UltraChrome HDR White Ink illustrate how aqueous ink is driving markets, according to Hecht. Epson UltraChrome HDR White Ink introduces a new Organic Hollow Resin Particle Technology, which forces light to randomly scatter and produce the illusion of seeing the color white. The ink is a safer, water-based resin particle�void of any known carcinogens.
INX Digital released new aqueous-based inks for HP Designjet 5000 and 5500 series printers in January 2010. The T81 dye inks and T83 UV pigmented inks are chemically compatible with OEM options and extend printhead life up to twice as long as other non-OEM alternatives. In addition, the inks are 100 percent color compatible and help extend the lifecycle of printheads. Both T81 and T83 inks are available in 680 milliliter direct replacement cartridges, allowing users to add new colors as needed without flushing lines or throwing away unused ink.
�Saving 20 percent or more while running our color compatible alternative inks give HP Designjet 5000 and 5500 users a timely advantage,� shares Kisner. �We anticipate introducing more advanced options, such as ink sets designed for the HP Designjet Z6100 later this year.�
Specific applications, such as billboards and building wraps, thrive on solvent inks. �The potential for residual solvent affecting graphic performance, and the longer time needed to fully dry solvent-printed graphics remains the greatest drawback, although media producers�like 3M�reduced the sensitivity to drying,� notes 3M�s Greenquist.
Though environmental pressures and high-performance ink spark R&D, legacy products like aqueous- and solvent-based inks are still in widespread use throughout large format. Considering the current economic climate, PSPs are fiscally conservative and selective with investments in new technologies and consumables. It�s unlikely that any breed of ink will be rendered extinct in the coming years.

BELLINGHAM – Western Washington University's College of Fine and Performing Arts will hold a winter session of classes for youth through Western Arts Preparatory Academy (WAPA) including classes in violin, creative dance and ballet.
The WAPA program supplements the art education that many school programs often leave underdeveloped. With the guidance of two high quality instructors, children will be encouraged to have fun and develop skills, which transfer to other areas of life.
Lisa Humphrey, instructor for the WAPA violin courses, holds a master's degree in Viola Performance from Indiana University. With over three years experience as a violin and viola teacher, she has taught traditional and Suzuki violin and viola as faculty for the Hartt School Community Division in Hartford, Conn. She is a registered Suzuki instructor and has extensive experience as a teacher of young children, and a particular interest in providing Violin lessons for youth. Originally from Bellingham, Humphrey has performed solo, chamber, and orchestral music around the country and throughout Russia and Armenia.
Rachel Narhi, instructor of the ballet and creative dance courses, has a bachelor's degree in Dance from Cornish College of the Arts and a passion for child development through dance. She has taught at several dance institutions around the Pacific Northwest including Western's Dance Academy for Youth and at the Firehouse Performing Arts Center. Narhi specializes in ballet, modern and creative dance and past pupils have gone on to study or perform with the School of American Ballet, Pacific Northwest Ballet, Cornish College of the Arts and the International Ballet Theatre.
The WAPA program provides an opportunity for youth ages 2-12 to experience the rewarding process of learning the formal elements of music and dance performance. Striving to create a nurturing atmosphere, the violin program employs the Suzuki method, breaking lessons into achievable chunks that give children a sense of pride and accomplishment. Similarly, the dance programs are broken up into various age and skill levels, adding new achievements and challenges to each solid foundation of form and technique.
Classes will take place on the WWU campus and in the community. Space is limited and prompt enrollment is encouraged to reserve your space in the classes, which begin the first week in January.
Details are on the web at http://www.wwu.edu/wapa or call (360) 650-3308.

By Pam StevensManaging Editor
October 15, 2013
Juston Masuda, an accountant and runner who lives just off of Chapel Hill Rd., was taking a late night run when he felt something grab hold of him. It was an owl, most likely a Barred Owl.
"The owl attacked me a little before 10 p.m. on Tuesday night," Masuda said. "I am a CPA and went for a late run to unwind. I also like running at night as it is quiet, cool and the traffic is light."
Masuda was wearing his headset as he ran along his street on 103rd Ave. NE at the bottom of Chapel Hill.
"I was jogging on the road as I always do and all of a sudden it felt like someone put two big hands on my hooded head but couldn't understand how that could be possible," he explained. "I then realized I was scared and threw my hands up on my head, threw my hood off and looked up. I thought I saw a bat in the air, but it was hard to see as it was dark and getting foggy."
A little dazed, Masuda stood to gain his composure and soon the owl started coming toward him again.
"As I stood there wondering if I really saw something, an object appeared out of the dark and was heading right for me. I ducked and he/she missed me the second time and that is when I realized it was a huge owl," he said.
After grabbing his hood, Masuda starting sprinting towards his house and noticed three red dots.
"I had no idea how much I was bleeding until I went into the house and looked in the mirror," he said.
Just over a week later, Masuda has been able to find some humor in the situation noting that it was a little creepy with Halloween just around the corner.
"The irony for me is that as I jogged that night it was a little spooky out as a lot of folks had their Halloween stuff out and it was getting foggy," he said. "I had to keep reminding myself that I am a grown-up and that I know that monsters are not real. I had no idea that I was going to get the spook of the year for me."
He also noted that he was grateful he had recently had a tetanus shot.
The Seattle Audubon Society stated in an article written by the Associated Press on Nov. 12, 2012 regarding "dive-bombing owls" that, "most aggressive behavior from owls (barred owls and great horned owls are the most often reported) is motivated by defense of their territory or young, or their search for handouts.
"In winter owls establish territories, build nests, and rear young. During this period, adult birds may engage in belligerent behavior, such as attacking creatures many times their size. In this case, the owls are simply trying to protect their homes, their mates, or their young.
"When possible, stay away from nesting areas with aggressive birds until the young are flying (three to four weeks after eggs hatch) and the parents are no longer so protective. If you must walk past a nest, wave your arms slowly overhead to keep the birds at a distance. Other protective actions include wearing a hat or helmet, or carrying an umbrella."
The article also states that many of these owls seem to attack women in ponytails and people wearing headphones, which is what Masuda was wearing while he was running.
Just be cautious and aware of anything that feels unfamiliar, especially if you are wearing headphones and call 911 if you see anything suspicious, including a diving owl.

Record Label: Fat Beats Records
There's a lot to be learned from Large Professor – how to produce, how to rhyme, how to cultivate new talent, how to stay creative and consistent for decades. The passing years only increase his legendary status – as a major collaborator with Main Source, Nas, A Tribe Called Quest, Kool G Rap & DJ Polo, etc. – while re-confirming his originality with each new project. So what's on the syllabus for the Professor's latest class? In his own words: "taking it back to the B-boy uprock style."
His latest masterwork Professor @ Large drops June 26 on Fat Beats Records. Large's impeccable craftsmanship shines on each of the 15 songs, many of them at upbeat park jam tempos. Whether he's spitting hard with MOP's Lil Fame, dropping an ill instrumental, or casting his wizened gaze out of the kaleidoscopic cover art, Large Pro is always smooth, on point and uniquely himself.
In addition to Lil Fame, the album features a connoisseur's selection of fine MCs: Busta Rhymes reminiscing in double-time on "Straight from the Golden"; Cormega and Tragedy Khaddafi bringing the streets on "Focused Up"; Mic Geronimo and Grand Daddy IU keeping cool on "Mack Don Illz"; and Cormega, Saigon, Roc Marciano and Action Bronson comprising the stunning "M.A.R.S" – easily the best posse cut of 2012. In a classy move, Large Pro gives Marco Polo the album's only production guest spot on the title track.
Sold Out - $16.99
With over 8 years in and appearing on over 30 vinyl releases, Damu the Fudgemunk has built a modest following and a collectible catalog. With his latest release, Public Assembly (cover photo shot at the legendary Fat Beats record store in NYC), his label Redefinition Records decided to empower fans with a role in the selection process. Is this a greatest hits? Not quite, but a highlight reel of sorts influenced by carefully analyzed comments in Redef's social networking community, hence the LP title. Many consider, "The Greatest Hits Album" overdue, but for a man who considers "his best work has yet to be released", Public Assembly is the Fudgemunk's artist statement that brings things to date full circle. 10 full length instrumentals from various projects are consolidated into one album. Over half the featured tracks were either never released on vinyl (Hole Up and Streamline instrumentals) or released in limited quantities (Supply Intro). For newcomers, Public Assembly is the full course introduction into Damu the Fudgemunk's vast catalog. For those who have been on board over the years the record connects the dots in one sitting. Either way, with the growing expansions of Damu and Redefinition records, it's safe to assume this won't be last of their projects rallied by the people.
This 12-inch was released leading up to the full-length Further Adventures of Lord Quas. Cover by Jeff Jank showing the night view of Quasimoto's building where who-the-hell-knows-what goes on at all hours of the night.
Lord Quas, Madlib and Melvin Van Peebles on some fantastic, nightmarish planet, tripping hard. As hallucinatory a hip hop experience as you can possibly hope to experience without mushrooms. For some reason, the remix was featured first, and, as a result was the version featured on The Unseen album. So peep the original version – available only on this 12".
Lord Quas' first solo 12" on Stones Throw Records! Features three songs also available on Quas's The Unseen, but get 'em here with artwork by DJ Design. Instrumentals too.
