USA Technologies Reports GAAP And Non-GAAP Profitability For The Second Quarter Of Fiscal 2013
USA Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: USAT), ("USAT"), a leader of wireless, cashless payment and M2M telemetry solutions for self-serve, small-ticket retail industries, today reported results for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 ended December 31, 2012. Second quarter highlights, compared to the corresponding quarter of the prior fiscal year, included:
- 29% increase in total revenues to $8.9 million and 33% increase in license and transaction fee revenues ("recurring revenues") to $7.4 million, representing 83% of total revenues for the quarter;
- 86% increase in gross profit to $3.6 million;
- Adjusted EBITDA of $1,752,721, up from an Adjusted EBITDA loss of ($938,400);
- GAAP net income of $153,758, up from a GAAP net loss of ($1,821,061); and,
- Non-GAAP net income of $557,393, up from a non-GAAP net loss of ($997,820) in the same quarter a year ago.
In addition, customers and connections to USAT's cashless payment and M2M telemetry service, ePort Connect®, continued to demonstrate solid growth in the second quarter. Highlights, compared to the second quarter of the prior fiscal year, included:
- 12,000 net new connections, a 71% increase;
- 186,000 total connections, a 37% increase; and,
- 375 new customers, a 50% increase, for 4,100 total customers, a 62% increase.
"We are extremely pleased to achieve non-GAAP net income for the first time in USAT's history," stated Stephen P. Herbert, chairman and CEO of USA Technologies, "and to deliver that target with such strength that we achieved GAAP net income as well, even after absorbing a sizable warrant adjustment for the quarter. The aggressive actions taken as part of our turnaround plan communicated to shareholders last year are clearly visible in our results, with exceptional improvements in both gross profit margin and operating margin this quarter. In addition, the inherent value of the recurring revenue base that we are building with every new connection is evident in the steady improvement in revenues over the last quarters and the $1.8 million base of Adjusted EBITDA reported for the second quarter—a great improvement from just one year ago.

What's the cheapest a s150 suit typically go for then? Are you serious it's 4500 to bespoke something with s150 quality?
I see OTR s150 suits for like 300 bucks....
I shit you not, that's why I didn't answer it.
"Seriously I can't suggest KW once right after another."
I don't have any KW polos so I can't really comment but people seem pretty content.
Why aren't Moldovans allowed to make leather jackets when the Chinese are?
N.B. Moldova is just north of Romania. It used to be part of the Soviet Union. It has the lowest minimum wage in Europe. I think your question is answered.
What I don't know is who Rick Owens is. But I take it he's somehow involved with leather jackets. Good luck to him and to you.
Guys -
what are the features on the back of a classic Brooks Brothers OCBD?
Split yoke? side vents/no vents?
Meow? :(
Which of these suede shoes should I get?

At Genesis Medical Center, we know the support of caring professionals helps cancer patients and their families find an extra measure of strength to face the challenges cancer brings.
That's why support is a vital part of our cancer care. Educational programs, information resources, counseling and a host of other services and amenities help cancer patients and their loved ones learn to adapt to the changes in their lives.
You've been told you have cancer. You hardly have time to digest the news before it feels like you've been swept up in a whirlwind of tests, treatments, unfamiliar technology and multiple health care providers.
You fear the unknown. Your family wants answers. If you had a personalized map to guide you through the cancer treatment maze, you would buy it.
Instead, the Genesis Cancer Care Institute has something better: three nurse navigators, Wendy Ballou, Melissa Frantz and Amy Fitzgibbon, who can be a compassionate compass and provide directions to patients during their cancer journey.
When people learn they have cancer, they are scared and anxious. They are listening but not really hearing what is being said. It is very easy for them to get confused or misinterpret what they have been told by their physicians. Their questions usually come after the appointment is over and they are at home pondering the uncertain future they face.
If patients have questions after they talk to their physicians, they can now call a nurse navigator who can reiterate what the physicians have said and instruct them again. They are that one-on-one contact person, resource and guide. They can educate and communicate so that patients and families understand their treatment options or what their treatments, tests or procedures mean.
Cancer nurse navigators can be particularly helpful because cancer treatment usually requires an entire interdisciplinary team.

The diagnosis and treatment of cancer causes major life changes. These changes are never easy, but support from family and friends, as well as your health care team, helps to relieve both emotional and physical stress.
Genesis Medical Social Services is an intricate member of this health care team offering assistance in the following ways:
Please call Ruth Laabs-Wilcox, Oncology Social Worker, at 563-421-1082 for more information.
The Genesis Cancer Care Institute offers a variety of programs and services that are complementary in nature and may be used in conjunction with your medical treatment plan.
Meditation, T'ai Chi and Gentle Yoga are offered at Genesis Medical Center in conjunction with the Satva Center. Meditation is an ancient practice that brings inner peace. It quiets the mind by using the breath and directing our awareness inside.
T'ai Chi is a Chinese ancient system of rounded, fluid movements that enhance joining mobility, body flexibility, balance and circulation. It also strengthens the body and centers the mind as a meditation in motion.
Gentle Yoga is a series of body postures held in silence combined with breathing techniques that relax, stretch and add strength and flexibility to the body while calming the mind.
Reiki, the name used to describe universal energy flow from one person to another, speeds the body's own ability to rejuvenate and in some cases, regenerate healthy cells, by increasing and enhancing the positive energy flow through a person's energy body. For more information contact 563-421-1935 or visit the Foundations of Light Web site.
The Genesis Cancer Care Institute in partnership with the American Cancer Society accept donations of wigs and other head coverings that are new or gently used. Wigs are on display in the Resource Center and are available for women at no cost. All donated head coverings/scarves are displayed throughout the Cancer Center and are available on a first come, first served basis. We are very grateful for the many generous donations that we receive. For information about this service call 563-421-1907.
The healing effects of music are available throughout our Cancer Program. The Inpatient Oncology Unit has a large selection of tapes and CD's with players to use in patient rooms.
Hospice care emphasizes the quality, not the quantity of life remaining by focusing on the physical, emotional, social, and spiritual comfort needs of both the individual and his or her family. The goal of Hospice is to help the individual make the most of each hour of each day of remaining life. In-home hospice services are provided in both Iowa and Illinois. For more information on Hospice care, contact Hospice Care of VNA at 563-421-5400 or visit the National Hospice Organization.
If you are reading this, changes are someone you know close to you and maybe even you yourself have been diagnosed with cancer. You want to help you the best you can. What you eat is key to how your body will fight, survive and heal from the cancer treatment.
Whether the treatment includes radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery or a combination, your body is going to need a well-trained defense system to hold strong, replenish, and heal.
Everything you eat and drink changes the chemistry of your body. If you are not putting into your body nourishment there will not be the nutrients needed to fight and heal. You may feel more tired, eat less, your muscles may start to disappear, adn even new sensations you have never felt before will trickle throughout your body.
If you eat only healthy food, it will not stop the side effects of cancer treatment, but it can definitely lessen them and keep your body stronger to fight where needed.
Also, you may be shuddering thinking the dietitian will be putting you on a diet with foods that taste like cardboard or look like brown mystery blobs. Not true. Dietitians are able to put together custom options for you to eat that include your favorite foods, foods specific to help with side effects, and food specific to your cancer diagnosis. Most likely, the dietitian will find things you need to eat less of that will decrease the side effects and foods to eat more of that will boost how well your treatment works.
One of the hardest battles on the eating front during treatment is the alterations in taste that occur. Your taste buds basically go bonkers during treatment. They may develop a metallic taste, be extra sensitive to hot and cold, or go dull altogether. This means food taste different and even may turn you off when you loved them before. On top of that, many patients do not even feel like eating due to lack of appetite settling in stronger than most have ever experienced before.
There are steps that can be taken to revitalize your tastebuds. What is happening is your tastebuds' sensory output is damaged so the brain picks up only a tiny signal and this is worsened by the fact that the brain was expecting a certain flavor sensation and was tricked. It is like taking a drink of orange juie to find out it was really just water colored orange.
Think about when you are mixing the paint colors blue and yellow (in equal parts) and instead of getting a strong green color this time, you get a super light green; the green is barely detectable. So foods that used to be on your favorite foods list may now even taste horrible to you or very weak in flavor.
Here are a few things you can do to help:
Metallic Taste: Add a sweetener like maple syrup, agave nectar, honey glaze, or some sweet maranade; even a squeeze of lemon helps.
Too Sweet: Add in a few drops of lemon or lime juice. It amazingly mutes the sweetness.
Too Bitter: Add a sweetener like maple syrup, agave nectar, honey glaze, or some sweet maranade.
Everything is Cardboard: Use sea salt and a spritz of fresh lemon juice to bring the flavor of the dish discernible for your tastebuds.
Other considerations are the power of herbs and spices. They are super powerhouses because they can bring out the flavor of foods, add new flavor to bland foods, and release cancer-fighting compounds called phytochemicals into your foods giving you a strong defense in your body.
First, it is estimated that 80% of cancer patients develop some degree of malnutrition during their illness. Malnutrition can lead to weight loss, increased complications during treatment, and delayed healing. A dietitian can help you maintain your weight and more importantly your muscle mass which is truly the important weight you want to keep to fight the cancer with.
Secondly, there are many side effects your body will experience during treatment. They often include fatigue, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, mouth sores, no appetite, and changes in taste. No two patients are the same. The Cancer Center Dietitian will meet you where you are in your treatment, in the side effects you are experiencing, and very importantly, find out your culinary preferences to include foods you like both the flavor and texture to create a custom plan for you.
She/he will not force you to eat foods you don't like. And even better, you will get the opportunity to eat foods you may never have tried before that become your new favorites.
The best time to visit the Cancer Center Dietitian is early on in treatment and then regularly during treatment. Contact the Genesis Cancer Care Dietitian 563-421-1900 or 563-421-1923 to get started on a plan customized for you to eat strong.
As part of the Genesis Cancer Care Institute, Genesis Rehabilitation Services are committed to improving potential for survivorship and quality of life. The nurse, using a questionnaire about the patient's functional skills and home situation, will interview all patients at the Cancer Care Institute. This questionnaire will determine potential problem areas and trigger a referral from your physician for therapy as needed.
The purpose of cancer rehabilitation is to assist patients in resolving problems related to their disease and treatment in order to achieve the highest possible level of function. Multiple rehabilitation needs can now be addressed at one location. These services are available throughout all phases of your care.
Therapeutic Objectives:
Physical Therapy:
Occupational Therapy:
Speech Therapy:

Staff chaplains of the Genesis Spiritual Care Department are available to personally minister to patients, families and friends. Hospital chaplains are trained and experienced in the health care field, and serve persons of all denominations and faiths. Chaplains are available to listen, helping you deal with fears, frustrations, questions and tough decisions.

Iranian President Hossan Rouhani is considering resuming flights between Tehran and the US for the first time in more than three decades, in another gesture of rapprochement between the two countries.

Go slow and be careful, Mr. Rouhani! Not too fast.......the west always has its way to get into your country in the disguise of friendship and then recruit local agents and used them to create problems! Protests will pop all over in your country and then you know what happened in Syria and other ME countries!!!
This will like inviting the devil for tea. But I guess President Rouhani knows this already. The western politicians won't be happy until another puppet shah is put in place. One that says, yes sir, no sir, three bags full sir.
Netanyahu's worst nightmare. The thawing of diplomatic relations between the US and Iran. It that the sound of panic I hear?.......I think it is.
If I was Iran, I would be very weary of any apparent gestures of rapprochement coming from the US. They always have a big stick in the back pocket.

Pacific Airmotive Corp. - Monday 3/17/2008
When I see these old industrial sites, I always think about all the lives lived inside. So far I haven't found a whole lot on the web about Pacific Airmotive. What a great business name though, huh?
They were apparently a vibrant part of Burbank's now-dwindling aerospace industry.
35 comments:
I work just a minute or so from that facility. This was their engine test facility and it sits adjacent to what was once Lockheed-Martin's sprawling facility which is now the Burbank Airport, in Burbank, California. The Lockheed Buildings (virtually) surrounding it, were levelled during 1997-1999. I have no idea why this building still stands or who owns the property. To be sure a lot of aviation history occured there.
I was a rotating units mechanic at Pacific Airmotive in 1971 and 1972. I moved into that job after starting as a general helper and then a parts cleaner. At that time we were a complete overhaul facility for various jet engines. We could perform almost any maintenance operation imaginable on the engines. The old timers remembered working on the "recips." (piston engines) The cleaning shop alone was magnificent. We had vats of various exotic cleaning chemicals big enough to dunk a small car in. We could even replate the huge shafts. We serviced Pratt and Whitney JT9D (747), JT8, and JT3 jet engines, PT6 gas turbines, GG-4 gas turbines (marine and electrical power generation). Other engines we serviced were Rolls-Royce RB-211 (used on L-1011 airliners), a few Alfa Romeo jet engines and some military engines whose names I dont't recall. To this day, I still have dreams of the place. I can even remember the smell. Being an extreme gearhead, I was in heaven working at PAC. I grew up, got an education and today I'm a vice president of a stock brokerage, but I miss the old place. The test cell was built in the late '60s. My neighbor, Roy Herald of Chatsworth supervised its construction. There was another smaller test cell across Hollywood Way.
I could go on and on about PAC. I am still proud of the work I did there. I feel it is something I can even brag about. It makes me sad to think that it is gone.
- Bruce O'Reilly (La Canada-Flintridge, CA)
Chris wonders why the building still stands. I really don't know, but there are some hints to be found on the Web. PAC's facility at 2940 N. Hollywood Way is a California Superfund Site. That means it was heavily contaminated. I always suspected that the kidney cancer I suffered a few years ago may have been brought on by the use of nasty chemicals in my work as a mechanic at PAC and other places. I certainly don't blame any of my employers. I took the jobs willingly and we really didn't know back then.
- Bruce O'Reilly

Thanks so much for commenting! You're a treasure trove of information. My husband was just
oohing and ahhing as I read this alound to him.
He works in the offices of a small aerospace machining company in Valencia that makes titanium parts for F-22s and F-15s. He worked at Kahr Bearing in Burbank and Allied Signal in NoHo before that.
I'm always moved by old buildings like this, as I imagine the lives that bustled within them when they were operating at full peak. I never would have dreamed up those big vats, though! Thanks for filling in some of the blanks.
I don't want to bore you with too much detail, but your photo stirred up something in me. I just sent an email to Roy Herald, one of the men behind the existence of that building. He's 86 years old, a World War II pilot, and I plan to visit him next week.
Thank you,
Bruce O'Reilly

hi guys
quick question for anyone.
what information is available on the Nomad 260 Mark III? I am looking at N2800G. It claims to be a Super T28, but a mark III. I cannot find any reference to a Mark III.
Does anyone have a history of the plane after its conversion by Pacific Air Group. It seems to have lost its civilain status and has become an experimental aircraft rather than the civilian normal category it once carried (?). ANyway - what is a Mark III, the FAA and Google speak only to Mark I and II
Any help is appreciated
- Kevin said...
Wow! I am surprised that this is still standing! I worked at PAC in the early 90's. Was a lot of fun. I am sure that a lot of folks have wonderful memories. That test cell, back then, was state of the art, and the envy of most of the airlines!
Thanks !!
- Sundry said...
Hi, Kevin,
This is the post that keeps giving and giving. There's not a whole lot about this place online, and people keep finding this post.
What kind of work did you do there?
- Kevin said...
I was the Manager of Marketing... and then as the need arose, I was the Director of Operations, and production. After a major downsize, I was the last to be laid off! But still, I enjoyed my time there!
I too worked there in the late 80s and early 90's. I left a couple of years before it closed. PAC history goes back to the 1920s when they were one of the first FAA part 145 repair stations. They overhauled Amelia Erharts engine. (the good one. lol) They where the first FAA authorized turbine overhaul facility ever. There were many other "firsts" for PAC also. Back in its beginning the company owned thousands of acres of land in what is now Burbank,Glendale and the surrounding areas. Most of it was orange groves. Another interesting bit of information that comes to mind when you mention "the lives lived there": part of the property that surrounds the pictured test facility was used as a Japanese/American internment camp during WWII.
- Sundry said...
Ron - Fascinating! Thanks so much for posting!
Nice to know of the Amelia Earheart connection. There's a statue of her in nearby North Hollywood. This site also tells about her life in the area. http://www.godickson.com/aestatue.htm
I've been visting the Manzanar site for years (as documented elsewhere on this blog) but I hadn't heard of the Burbank connection. According to this reference I found, rather than being an interment camp itsself, the Burbank site was actually used as a temporary housing for people being released from internment camps and trying to find housing in the area. Just points up how very difficult that whole time was for them.
I worked at the PAC Aircraft Division - on the other side of Burbank airport from the engine division during 1967. I was a mechanic converting Convair 440s into turboprop Convair 580s. Although I was only 23 and at the bottom of the totem pole dismantling the greasy old airliners coming in for conversion, I loved the place. Worked with older PAC guys and some from Flying Tigers who worked on Super Connies - all of whom saw lots of early aviation history.
Strange coincidence: In November 1963 I was an aircraft mechanic student at L.A. Trade-Tech College. We took an all-day field trip to PAC's engine overhaul facilities- including the test cells. In those days they were still occasionally overhauling R-2800 piston engines, but mostly JT-3, J-57s, etc. Late that morning on the tour, an announcement was made that President Kennedy was shot. Perhaps I reminder details of that day clearly due to that terrible debacle. But I was impressed by the size of the facility and the dedication of the mechanics. Years later, I remembered PAC and thought it would make a good place to work. It was a good experience.
I have part of a jet that was made at PAC. Its dated 7.6.65. Its an air intake off some jet.I'm trying to find out what kind of jet it is off of. It apears to be off the bottom. Its about 4 ft wide and 3ish across. Its fiberglass and painted great but was silver at one point. I also have side pannels for this plane but they are metal and have no info on them.
Serial #. 0151
Assy #. 906420-1
Any info would be great! Thanks, Jake.
- Sundry said...
Hi, Jacob,
If you want to send me a digital photo, I'll put it on my blog. It's a kind of random blog, but a lot of people have found their way here because of this post, and maybe they'll find their way back.
Here's proof of the Pacific Airmotive/Earhart connection in this 1935 picture of Amelia Earhart unboarding from her plane in Oakland, surrounded by crowds, outside the Pacific Airmotive Corp. hangar.
My name is Roy Herald. I worked as Plant Engineer at P A C in the 60s and 70s. One of my responsibilities was construction of the test cell off Hollywood Way in Burbank. I was in on it from concept to completion. At the time it was a very ambitious decision. Our facility was only equipped to handle the Prart & Whitney smaller jet engines along with Rolls Royce tyne engines. Our largest engine was the j75 engine used on the super secret Blackbird. We captured American Airlines as a customer and the cell was a go. Rather than bore everyone with windy narratives, if anyone has questions, i'll try to answer them
- Angel said...
I just seen this accidentally. I worked for PAC from 1972-1980. I started as a modification mechanic in the QEC dept. and went on to inspection after smashing/sqeezing a finger with a rivet squeezer.
I also agree that we did excellent work there, with a full machine shop as well as plating shop. I think PAC would be open today if it was not for corporate greed on the part of Purex Corp. owners at the time as most airlines today have thair engines done by vendors.
I do remember some of the names i worked with and some of the faces I forget their names.
Nick Garcia, Perry Smith, Quintiliano Izquierdo, Mario Ledesma, Edkie Phillips and others

I just drove by this building five minutes ago and could not take my eyes off of it, so I entered the name I saw on the front of the building, which seemed to capture my attention just as much as the facility itself. I guess I would just like to say thank you for indulging my curiosity and wish you the best of luck in maintaining this wonderful source of random information,
Yours, Cole
My Father-in-law used to work at this plant in the 60's. His name was Richard Carpenter. If anyone that reads this site that used to work there remember him, please leave me a note here and a way to contact you. I am researching his work history to find out what projects/places he worked on/at. He passed away from cancer in 2000.

My parents met at PAC. They both worked there for 20+ years. I grew up around the aircraft industry. Interesting reading all these posts.
I worked at PAC for 29 years starting in 1966 right to the end. Started out as a part chaser and worked my way up though the shop to be the last Machinist out the door. What a shame, still dream of those days. The test cells are still there, in the picture you see there are 5 cells and the one across the street is the bigest that Roy wrote about. The JT9 (747) engines were tested in that cell. GE owns them now and from my understanding there still there because of EPA laws you can't build such test cells in good old Calif.
When Purex bought PAC there were about 2500 employees we were around the would business and shortly became Burbank only. The start to the end. They finally sold PAC the UNC and they slowly down sized us to duing only PT6 engines and that was that.

What a great company! We had consultants there for a long time. They were doing outstanding work.

My dad worked there in the 60s and 70s. I still remember the Christmas parties in the hangars. It was a great company back in its day.

My grandfather worked for PAC for decades if I'm not mistaken. He started sometime after serving as a inflight mechanic in WWII and as far as I know, spent his entire working life with the company.
His name was Will Tiegs, he passed away at age 89 in 2008. I have tons of Pacific Airmotive trinkets that were passed down to me.
If anyone who worked there remembers him, or has any stories to tell I'd love to hear from them. Feel free to email me. firstname.lastname@example.com
I googled PAC and found this blog.
I live in Washington State and have collected a bunch of WWII era magazines and catalogs and one of my near perfect catalogs is a PAC catalog from 1946.
Quick story;my wife had just finished her last round of chemo and her family paid for us to take a mini vacation to her brothers home in Simi Valley,well we fly into and out of Burbank and on this trip I am in the back seat of the car and looking around and what do I see but the PAC building you have pictured! We pulled over and I took dozens of pictures.
I love the stories here and will treasure this even more. thank you thank you.
This is really something; seeing so many workers from there. I too worked there for about 4 yrs in the early 90's. I worked in Accessory Shop. However, my dad worked there for far longer. He originally worked as a painter and then in maintenance. Kevin, you posted that you were the last to be laid of. The last 2 to be laid off were my dad and Larry Loerra. They literally locked the gate on the place! As you all likely know, the entire facility is leveled now.
I miss some of the folks as I was good friends with some. If anyone knows about Dave Canfield please post.
I worked at PAC during the Summer of 1962. I met the President/Owner of PAC that Summer - what a gracious host he was. He was also a test pilot and a lawyer and his father was the Chief Justice of the California Supreme Court before he formed the law firm of O'Melveny & Myers. John Myers died a couple of years ago and some comments about his life can be found at http://www.airportjournals.com/display.cfm/dallas/0803010
My dad, Ollie Jensen, started at PAC in 1941 pulling nails off crates in the receiving department. He wound up buying, with some other long-time executives, a portion of the parts business of PAC from Purex, and was President of Coast
Material Sales until his death in 1992.
PAC was a great company - old fashioned, with Christmas Parties and summer picnics. And the Burbank Airport area was fascinating with Lockheed, and a whole bunch of smaller aircraft parts suppliers. If you get a chance, try Chili Johns on Burbank Blvd. The mural on the wall purportedly was done by some Lockheed engineers in the 1950s.
I have a very large piston on my desk at work from PAC - from a Pratt & Whitney engine. I also have a number of old reciprocating engine parts and schematic booklets from PAC.
OMG... I can't believe I found this site. I'm a second generation PAC employee. My father worked there from the early 40s to the mid 80s. I worked there from 66 to 81. Reading the comments brought back so many memories. Some of the names I recognize also.
My first job out of college. Great history with lots of firsts. I remember being told that PAC coined the word airmotive. The company was older than Pratt and Whitney. Power by the hour was also a PAC original later copyrighted by RR as I recall. PAC HAD the contract to maintain the engines/propellers on the spruce goose for many years. Modified a DC9 for Hugh Hefner. Names like Al Anderson, john myers, ollie jensen, rosie dufault. And many thousands more who were a part of the company and made aviatiin history

Just discovered this site relating to PAC Burbank. I'm a retired Airline pilot doing research on the 1930's P&W Wasp engines.
Is there anyone who can help me with information for which I have been searching?
What is the rate of fuel consumption for a P&W 600 TOHP Wasp engine during ... takeoff ... climb ... and cruise?
Even approximate estimates would help. Can you direct me to someone who might know?
Thanks for your help.
And the end of an era.
The bulldozers have come in and are in the process of demolishing this facility. As of Friday, September 6 2013, the tower is gone, only about 20% of the walls remain.
My name is Mike Maroney and I worked at Pacific Airmotive Corporation for 7 1/2 years, from August 16, 1968 until
January, 07 1975. My PAC employee number is 13219. PAC was known as the Overhaul & Repair station #88.
They were the 88th certified FAA repair station in the United States to be granted repair station approval under under FAR-Part 145.
They were also the first certified CAA / FAA aircraft and engine oerhaul / repair station to receive their FAA approval certification by Orville Wright back in 1924.
As I understand it from my research, the company actually statrted in Los Angeles and then moved to the city of Glendale, California, onto San Fernando Road near Grand View Avenue, back in 1934. Around about 1946 they acquired two aircraft hangers at the Lockheed Air terminal, now known as the Bob Hope airport in the city of Burbank.
They performed complete aircraft
maintenance and engine overhaul. When I came to work at PAC in 1968 there were still a few mechanics that worked in the engine division with me that had transferred over from the aircraft division / hangers to the main plant at 2940 North Hollywood Way, in Burbank. This building became the main central plant in about 1948 along with the aircraft division.
There were also two engine test cells, one at the main plant and one accross the street on Hollywood Way. The one accross the street was where the JT3's, JT8s and the recepicating engines were tested.
One of the mechanics that I remember well and worked with was Robert Jenn and he had red hair and everyone called him Red Jenn.
Red came to work at PAC in 1941 and he gave me a lot of information from the past. Any body who use to work at at PAC from 1941 to about 1983 and reads this story would remember Red Jenn.
I started out as a production painter, painting engines and components, then a engine tear down mechanic on Pratt & Whitney R-2000, R-2800, recepricating engines, JT8's, then anaccessory mechanic then an engine parts inspector.
When I first came to work at PAC I worked for Ed Jensen, Rod Jensen's father. I also remember Rod very well from when he was an engine parts inspector.
Since those days, I have worked for General Dynamics, Convair Divison, McDonnell Douglas Aircraft Company and now Parker Aerospace as a Quality Assurance Engineer. I have to say in all my 47 years of being in aerospace, PAC had the most talented and experienced people that I ever worked with and I still respect to this day. A lot of them were mechanics from World War II.
I could mention many more names of people that I worked with but it would take too much time. PAC was the largest aircraft engine overhaul and repair station on the west coast, the next largest would be Pratt & Whitney. As mentioned by other people on this site, PAC not only performed work on Pratt& Whitney, R-2000's to Curtis Wright 3350's, JT3, JT8, JT9, Rolls Royce RB-211, the Tyne and PT6 but special special projects unknown to most people and probably the aerospace community.
PAC was the the first aircraft engine company to help engineer, modify and assemble the JT9-11 to the JT9-13"A" version.
These new modified "Dash-13A" engines were used on the Boeing 747aircraft that made the first flight with the shuttle spacecraft mounted on top of the 747. I know this quite well, bcause I was one of the engine parts inspectors that worked on it.
When we were working on it no one knew who the real customer was and where the engines were going to be used, at the time it was a classified secret.
Also PAC was the responsible entity
for modifying the first Pratt & Whitney PT6 engine to put out more power and to interface with an
automotve gear box that was used by Andy Granatelli in the first automotive turbine race car. A little side note here: PAC DID NOT design, modify or manufacture the gear box transmission.
Looking back over the years I miss PAC. I left there to advance myself to where I am now. But in my mind there could never be another Pacific Airmotive Company.
One more entry as of September 13, 2013.
I would like to make a correction to my last entry and add on a couple more historic details about Pacific Airmotive.
First: I would like to make a correction, my actual employee number was 31968, not 13219, which was my badge number and please excuse the other typo erros.
Second: The anonymous entry from September 06, 2013 about the demolishing of Test Cell number-1 is unfortunate and I saw it as well. That was the very last structure that was still standing and still had the Pacific Airmotive name on it and it's gone forever.
I remember Red Jenn telling me when he came to work at PAC in 1941he worked in what was the engine overhaul shop back then and it was located in the airport of the PAC Aircraft Division, adjacent to where the PAC hangers were. So that would mean that the engine overhaul was actually there before it was moved to 2940 Noth Hollywood Way, which was accross the street from the airport runway.
One more last piece of historic trivia. In 1968 Hugh Hefner the owner and creater of the Playboy magazine had his new McDonnell Douglas DC-9 flown over from MAC DAC, Long Beach, to the PAC Aircraft Division on a special FAA permit to be completed. PAC painted the outside of the aircraft black with the famous "white bunny head" on the verticle stabilizer.(tail)
They also installed the complete original interior which was done with white panneling and the seat cushions and carpeting was a lite orange color. It had a bar, a meeting room, a changing room for the bunny's and in the tail section was where the bedroom was.
The bedroom also had a lavatory, shower, closet, Polaroid windows, (you could see out, but no one could see in), a tear droped shaped bed, a phone for room service and lastly a closed circuit television, you could watch a movie or switch to the interior cameras and watch what everyone else was doing in the aircraft.
The painting and interior work was finally finished in 1969. Two weeks before it was delivered to Hugh Hefner, I pesonnally got to go through it, But this was only due to me being an employee Of PAC, no other outside personnel were allowed in it.
Well that's everthing that I can remember, but I will never forget Pacific Airmotive.

It's not often that someone can claim that going from a positive to a negative is a step forward, but that's the case for a team of scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and private industry. In a recent paper,* the group significantly extended the reach of their novel microfluidic system for analyzing the chemical components of complex samples. The new work shows how the system, meant to analyze real-world, crude mixtures such as dirt or whole blood, can work for negatively charged components as well as it has in the past for positively charged ones.
In previous work,** NIST researchers Elizabeth Strychalski and David Ross, in collaboration with Alyssa Henry of Applied Research Associates Inc. (Alexandria, Va.), demonstrated the use of a technique called GEMBE (for "gradient elution moving boundary electrophoresis") for analyzing complex samples. The NIST-developed system combines a simple microfluidic structure (two reservoirs connected by a microchannel), electrophoresis (which uses electricity to move sample components through a fluid) and pressure-driven flow.
Analyzing complex samples can be difficult because components in these samples (such as the fat globules in milk or proteins in blood) can "foul" or contaminate microfluidic channels. The traditional solution has been to remove contaminants with costly, time-consuming sample preparation prior to analysis.
GEMBE solves this problem by pumping fluid through the microchannel using a controlled pressure in the direction opposite to electrophoresis. This opposing pressure-driven flow acts as a "fluid gate" between the sample reservoir and the microchannel. Gradually reducing the pressure of the counterflow opens the "gate" a little bit at a time. A specific sample component is detected when the pressure flow becomes weak enoughi.e. the "gate" opens wide enoughthat the component's electrophoretic motion pushes it against the pressure-driven

As of Tuesday, November 6, 2012
© Copyright 2014 Albany Herald
ALBANY, Ga. — Gary Sharod Walker, 38, pleaded guilty Monday to two counts of molesting a girl under the age of 16, Dougherty District Attorney Greg Edwards said.
The molestation had been going on since 2001 when the girl was about 4 years old, he added.
"We made no plea deal agreement," said Edwards. "Judge (Willie) Lockette gave him 40 years in prison. He will serve at least 90 percent of the sentence."
Abytaxpayer 2 years, 1 month ago
Sick 40 years is too easy for him.
Sherwood_Eagle_Alum 2 years, 1 month ago
It will be a long time before this sicko even thinks about life outside of a prison.
waltspecht 2 years, 1 month ago
Oh contraire, he will dream about it every night. The molesters tend to group up in a prison, sometimes housed together for their safety, and feed off of each others tales. There is very little chance the individual's urges will have changed by the time of release, and we are simply dumping him on some future generation. Even the Doctors say there is no helping them without medication you can't force them to take. The Death Penalty should apply in some cases, but the bleeding hearts don't see it. So we will spend a lot of money to house, clothe and feed this creep over at least the next thirty years.
Bulldawg 2 years, 1 month ago
I agree, Walt. There should be no "deals" made in cases like these. I believe when you hurt a helpless child like this turd has, you lose your right to a "deal." Judge Lockette is obviously a proponent of deals considering the "deal" that he received regarding the smack down that he put on his wife. We know and He knows that he got away with that one. I just feel sorry for the little girl and her family that have to carry this incident with them for the rest of their lives.
darnette0101 2 years, 1 month ago
Judge Lockett is not the one who hit his wife. That was judge Weaver.
Bulldawg 2 years, 1 month ago
Sorry, my mistake. Sorry Judge Lockett.
VSU 2 years, 1 month ago
That's okay Bulldawg, but judge lockette is the one who sends these criminals back on the streets to continue their life of crime.
ittybittyme 2 years, 1 month ago
40 years is too good for him.
Outtahere 2 years, 1 month ago
This is disgusting!!! He should never see the light of day again!! Could someone please tell me why the system is so easy on pedophiles but someone who is convicted of something much less heinous will get life without parole!

Is bah/bas protected when the amount of child support is calculated in Texas? I am an e-5 paying child support for one child while my section sgt, e6, is paying considerably less than me and he's paying for 2. His bah and bas were not calculated into his support
No, bah and bas are not 'protected' in any state.
FYI, its very possible either you misunderstood the E6 or you did not get the full story.
Bah/Bas are included in calculating child support. It is possible that your friend had an agreement not include these in his child support calculation. Of course there are some courts that do not include Bas - this is not the norm.
Your BAH/BAS is not "protected" in any state. In fact, it is part of the calculation when determining the level of child support required. Visit the legal assistance office at your base/station- they will be able to run the numbers for you. Good luck.

West Ham have completed the signing of midfielder Diego Poyet on a four-year deal.
The 19-year-old, son of Sunderland manager Gus Poyet, was a free agent after his contract at Charlton expired, but the Hammers still needed to agree an undisclosed compensation fee with the Championship club.
Poyet only broke into the Addicks first-team in January and was named player of the year after some impressive displays in their successful fight against relegation.
But the teenager has linked up with his new team-mates at their their pre-season training camp on the French-Swiss border and is keen to prove himself in the Premier League.
"I'm very happy to be here. It took me by surprise a little bit and it all happened very quickly,\" he told West Ham's website. "It's a great club to be at and I know a few of the boys here already.
"It was a no brainer to sign, I wanted to come out here to the training camp as soon as I could and I'm grateful that they've had me here.
"It's massive to come to a Premier League club. It's what I wanted to do - I wanted a new challenge and soon as I heard there was a chance of stepping up I had to take it.
"I played quite a few games last season with Charlton and I just want to push on now. Like any young player, the first thing you want to do is get into the first team. I need to show the staff, players and the gaffer what I'm capable of doing and maybe pushing my way in.
"West Ham is a great club with a lot of tradition, moving to a new stadium and everything, it was a no brainer for me because you never know if you're going to get that kind of chance again."
Poyet, who has been capped at England U17 level, becomes the club's fourth summer signing following the arrivals of forward Mauro Zarate, midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate and defender Aaron Cresswell.

1st one went into labour in middle of the night and felt I had to poop.
2nd one was induced sent home and knew
3rd one was 2 weeks early and never realized until I had "gas pains every 5 miniutes"
every time is different, but honestly you will know when you go into labour trust me
With DD, it started as menstrual-like cramps. I was only 34.5 weeks along, so I went to get checked out. I was in active labor, had no idea. My water broke in the hospital after trying to stop my labor.
DS, I spent the week leading up to it getting sick at night. My water started leaking that Friday evening, so I went in. I was actively contracting and again had no idea. Again, I only felt menstrual-like cramps. I never experienced contractions that I could time myself with either of them.
had timeable weak contractions on Sunday night for a few hours.
Went to bed and they diminished, in the AM when I got out of bed they were back, stronger, and closer together
With DS, I was induced with Pitocin and the doc breaking my water - I ended up having a C-Section.
With DD, I lost my mucus plug and had contractions about 10-15 minutes apart the morning of my 39 week appt. When the OB checked me for dilation, I was 5cm dilated! She sent me to the hospital and DD came out 2 hours later - vaginal delivery with no pain medication!

Q&E Babble
Find a Conversation
|Fri, 12-21-2012 - 7:34am
Okay, I give. I am doing it. I miss PPWM too much.
I want to babble. I think you all want to babble. So let's babble here and then go back to PPWM when they finally get us fixed. I know, it's discouraging now, but I am too optimistic for my own good. I do think iVillage will get this mess fixed. One day.
For those not on FB, Shelly is monitoring Waylon, debating on a trip to Pitt. He ran a fever all day yesterday and most of the night. At her last check in, he's down to 99. She's calling the coordinator this morning.
I had my work party last night. I took a platter of Jalapeno Cheese Grits. I have never had 6 people ask me for a recipe before. I heard they were, "on point" and "ready." I love it when I bring the most popular dish. There wasn't a scrap left.
Off to get dressed for work. As of 3:00 today I am done until January 2nd. And then I can start counting down for my spring break beach trip.
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 9:29am
I hope everyone had a very joyous and Merry Christmas. I'm glad I took a vacation day today as we are under a Blizzard Warning. How very fun! They are predicting 8-10 inches of snow with 20 mph winds with gusts to 40 mph. Poor DH had to get up and go to work in this crap. Good thing he's only 5 miles away.
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 9:34am
Fooded out? Yup, hit that wall yesterday too. But I have another party to go to tonight. There will be awesome food there. And I have zero willpower. Hopefully my cleaning marathon, the one that I am putting off getting started on by piddling around here, will get some calories burned.
I am getting up in a minute to start pulling down Christmas. Boo. I do love the lights. But I too want to get a good deep clean on the house while I have the time.
We have rain transitioning to a light snow. I am now in the 1"- less range. I'll take the less part, please.
Off to clean. Maybe...
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 9:57am
We are getting the storm out your way Susan & Tracy but not until later today and into Thursday. Oh well. No place specail I have go so home in front of the fire works for me.
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 12:13pm
Wow!!! you ladies sure have been chatty the past few days!!!
Yep Im fooded out, glad we are staying home today, so I can stay on track with my eating and my points lol. I ate way too much yesterday! Just did some zumba, so hopefully that helps with the damage! LOL
Sandy- Im sorry to hear about your aunt passing :( Oh and you asked how the weight loss is going... Im officially down 63lbs! so Im 2/3 of the way to my goal!
We all went to mass(at a french catholic church) on christmas eve because DH's nephew was a shepherd.. so that was dull because I dont speak french... Oh and FIL's brother was the priest doing the service... so that part was nice...
We had our big christmas meal on christmas eve, and we went back to the in laws yesterday, for lunch, and ended up staying for dinner too lol.
My washing is done! going to hang it up, and then its time for a nap!
Have a great day everyone! and sorry if I missed anyone....
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 12:37pm
Mel you said you lost 63 pounds!!!! Great job! I'll bet you are starting to look like a whole different person aren't you. Any chance you might be able to try a befreo and after picture on here?
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 12:59pm
We had a good Christmas, for sure. Christmas Eve was just my brother and us, but we had our traditional cheese fondue for dinner before heading out to the 9 pm service. It had pretty low attendance since the weather was good. My church has a 7 pm service that is outside, so if the weather is good most people go to that one. If it is raining the 9 pm has a bigger crowd, although it is still not huge. Erick played the piano for the service, and I sang the usual O Holy Night. We also added In The Bleak Midwinter for prelude music - Erick accompanied me on his ukekele - it was a nice change. We are getting tired of O Holy Night, but it is a tradition for a lot of folks, and we aren't ever going to be able to drop it! We always get comments like "it wouldn't be Christmas if we didn't come hear you sing 'O Holy Night', which is very nice, but we would love to change it up a little!
After services we came home and sent the boys to bed, had our usual egg nog and played Santa.
Told the boys not to come out of their rooms before 7:30, so we didn't do too badly in the sleep department. Opened stockings. Had a big breakfast. Opened gifts, then waited for Erick's side of the family to arrive.
Drank wine, nibbled on cheese and crackers, veggie tray, Chex mix until dinner around 4. Roast pork loin with apple, onion, apple cider reduction, mashed potatoes with Manchego cheese, roast brussel sprouts, Waldorf salad, homemade buttermilk rolls. Rice pudding with cranberry compote and chocolate amaretto mousse for dessert. YUM. SIL was a huge help with dishes (and Erick made a God-awful mess), - really nice - we did up all the dinner dishes, then waited for awhile before dessert. After dessert we were all in the living room visiting, and Krista went back into the kitchen and did up all the dessert dishes without me even noticing. I was just going to leave them until this morning, so that was sweet.
Tristan and Riley both got big-ticket gifts from Santa this year - Riley got a new DS (they broke the hinge on the old one) and Tristan got an iPod Touch. His iPod was stolen from the locker room at school, so he has been withouth a music player for about a year now. I know he would have prefered a smartphone, but no way are we paying for data every month. The Touch has Wi-Fi, so he can go online at home and school - wherever there is a hotspot. AND, if his grades slip all we have to do is change the Wi-Fi password and he will be out of luck in the internet access department, but will still have music. If he REALLY screws up, we take it away completely. Gotta love when Santa is complicit in creating more incentives for good behavior!
|Wed, 12-26-2012 - 8:01pm
Made a pork loin, yams and green beans for Amy and the boys Christmas Eve. She decided to take the boys to the early service at my church, and wanted to have dinner with me. Actually, that was overscheduling, because I was supposed to be at the church at 7 to rehearse for the 8 PM service, and the early service didn't finish until after 6:30. So I missed rehearsal, but made the 8 PM service, knowing the music, but having no idea of logistics. Sang the 8 PM service and the 10:30, and got home sometime after midnight. Amy and the boys had put away the leftovers, rinsed all the dishes, and loaded the dishwasher
We had a white Christmas Day here in the Dallas area. First one since 1975 (and we didn't live here then). It rained in the morning and changed to snow about 1 PM. Amy came and brought her dog for me to pug-sit until Sunday, because she left with her gentleman friend to go skiing early this morning. Amy and I shared some leftover pork loin for lunch, but we scuttled the plan for movie and Chinese food because of the weather. She got back home before the roads got bad. Christine didn't come down, because McKinney got about 3 inches of snow, and there was no point in her risking life and limb either. There were accidents all over the Metroplex, and there were reports of the emergency vehicles being hit, too.
Amy texted me a little while ago that she and Mark are in New Mexico. He drove. They did encounter wintry roads. I know it snowed in Amarillo yesterday, too. He has a four-wheel-drive RAV4, and he is from Wisconsin.
All three pugs in the house hate the snow. I had no idea they could hold it so long. Amy's dog is an apartment dog, and is used to being walked on a leash. Pre doesn't understand that I can just open the back door and he can go out and potty. So when I came home from work, I put on my walking shoesm, scarf, hat, down jacket and gloves and Pre pulled me around the block. Whatever works, folks!
|Thu, 12-27-2012 - 8:28am
Good Morning Ladies -
So who is off work this week besides me? I know Tracy and Cara are.
We had snow turning over to rain starting last night and into this morning. It is icky outside. there is a lot of heavy wet snow out there. I am planning on doing some more cleaning this morning. Leaving the tree up another day at least. Think I may go through my closet and purge some stuff to take to the Salvation Army store tomorrow. I want to get one more tax deduction in before the end of the year. When John gets home from work today we are heading to the mall to exchange a few things. We will probably get pizza for dinner at CPK.
|Thu, 12-27-2012 - 10:14am
No work here and unpaid unless you had vacation days or paid time off. I had both =).. So today and tomorrow are vacation days!
Went through part of my file cabinet, got laundry going, and have to run into town. May get my feet done today..
We have snow but only like 2 to 3 inches. Had a fire in the fireplace last night- it was perfect!
Enjoy your day!
|Thu, 12-27-2012 - 10:29am
I would have been here earlier but I got out of bed at 8:15 and hadn't even peed yet when the doorbell rang. I forgot the cable guy was scheduled for this morning to change my phone line over to digital service. He took about 1.5 hours to get it done. So, I couldn't get on the computer. My whole routine was off.
I deep, deep cleaned my family room yesterday. I took out 4 huge bage of garbage, put old toys that I want to save in tubs (6 total) and scubbed everything in that room. It looks and smells great. And the kids weren't too upset since I saved their favorite toys (DD's Barbies, DS's Star Wars Galactic Heroes, Rescue Heroes, and Power Rangers). The three of us all had about 8 trips to the storage shed to stash them. Also in the cleaning, I got all the Christmas stuff down and organized. The house, at least that parts, looks great.
I am on vacation leave today and tomorrow too. The early part of the week was scheduled off. Monday and Tuesday are scheduled off. The party I went to last night, the school registrar is my friend's mom (at my friend's house). She was practically begging me to work today. She has to and will be the only one there. All the custodians took off. She doesn't like setting the alarm or being there all alone. No go.
The party I went to last night, my friend is married to a man from the same small area Daisy is from. His dad owns the restaurant they do family breakfast in frequently. How weird is that?
Mel, 63 pounds is awesome. I have go to get inspired and do something similar.
Cara, I do like Oh, Holy Night during Christmas Eve service. It is a little long though. We were at the 11:00 service, too late for me but their @ss father didn't bring them home in time for us to go to the 7:00 service. It was my parents, sister, aunt, the kids and me. My son was about 4 people down from me. During Oh Holy Night he passed me a note saying, "She skipped the verse 'Jesus was born and so we get presents." I cracked up. Anyone else familiar with the South Park version of the song? That's where it's from.
Well, I am off to go clean some more. Today is the computer room and kitchen drawers. And I have to be done by 3:00 because Jeff is picking me up then and we are heading to a gambling boat.

Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
If you find reading the Bible uneventful, "old hat," or downright confusing, then it's time for The Message. Join the millions of readers who have been drawn to God through Eugene Peterson's best-selling Bible paraphrase.
Translated directly from the ancient Hebrew and Greek texts into today's American idiom, The Message is designed as a reading Bible. With no distracting verse numbers or stiff, formal language, the sixty-six books of Scripture unfold like a gripping novel. Passages you've read many times before will come alive, revealing the vibrant energy and passion of God's Word.
From the mysterious Old Testament stories to the straightforward teachings of Jesus to the encouraging early church letters, reading The Message will jump-start your heart, challenge your mind, and forever change your life.
The vibrant flavor of the text is evident from the opening verses of the book of Genesis: "First this: God created the Heavens and Earth--all you see; all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness."
There's renewed vigor in some of Jesus' most well-known words of the New Testament in John 3: "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life. God didn't go to all the trouble of sending his Son merely to point an accusing finger, telling the world how bad it was. He came to help, to put the world right again."
Whether it's the poetry of the Psalms, the thundering tirades of the Old Testament prophets, or the ageless words of Jesus, Peterson breaths new life into timeless passages in this fresh-voiced paraphrase. --Cindy Crosby
