Postal Reform Bill
Direct Mail's Dynamic Duo Gird for a Fight on the Senate FloorApril 01, 2014
The postal exigency saga continues. Direct Marketing News Senior Editor Al Urbanski breaks it down for you.
In Search of a New Postal ParadigmMarch 27, 2014
John Callan's Postal Vision 2020 will convene the world's finest postal minds to explore future options for mail in America. Here, the delivery industry veteran gives his own views on what lies ahead.
As Postal Reform Slogs Along, the Exigent Rate Appears Here to StayMarch 01, 2014
The bad news? The 4.3% exigent rate increase is almost sure to endure. The good news? Mailers enlisted a stalwart defender of their cause on Capitol Hill.
Mailers Prepare to Turn Down the VolumeMarch 01, 2014
USPS's five-year plan is built on forecasts of 3% volume declines, but this year's huge rate increase has direct mailers and catalogers talking double-digit cuts in mailings.
One Cataloger's Dim Prospects for Mail VolumesMarch 01, 2014
Experienced direct mailers and catalogers enter a new year with well-defined strategies and cutoffs for their house file and prospect mailings.
The Sky Isn't Falling for Direct MailersFebruary 14, 2014

Here is a test of Kodak magenta dye transferred to old fixed-out Kodabromide with an F-2 glossy surface.
The matrix was 6% gelatin, 1% sorbitol on melinex and brush-sensitized at 5% potassium-dichromate. The matrix was dry, so it was briefly pre-soaked in cool water, then added to the dye bath at 20° for 5 minutes. It was then rinsed in a 10% acetic acid bath*.
The Kodabromide was punched and soaked in cool water about 15 minutes prior to this, then squeegeed to the transferring board.
The actual "rolling" of the matrix was done with a squeegee, but I need to get a brayer or a print roller. Thought about a rolling pin...
You can see that there is bad transfer near the registration holes, this is due to my registration pins being inaccurately mounted, causing some buckling. (need to fix that)
All in all I'm pretty pleased, just looking at it. It's the best image I've gotten yet with a dye, but it definitely illustrates what needs improving.
* For one, the 10% a.a. rinse (Ive's recommendation) might have been excessively high, resulting in high contrast. Afterall, Kodak recommends 2 baths at 1%, adding acid in the 1st rinse to increase contrast.
It pays to read up
Ives speaks of the necessity for a 'tenuous' relief (read thin) in his patent that includes the claim for a light-restraining dye, a practice thereafter used in the industry. The relief needs to be thin to allow for flush contact between the matrix & transfer paper.
I think I will include some yellow food dye in the next batch of matrix gelatin. As PE says above, the dye is tartrazine and I'll bet that's what the majority of yellow food colorings use anyways.
Lastly, EK says that the quicker the print is dried, the sharper it is. I let this one air-dry after a wash in distilled water. Washing isn't recommended at all by Kodak, but it seems like you'd wanna wash the acid out?? IDK.
Ok.. well I think the next logical thing to do is repeat this exact procedure but with Kodak Dye-Transfer paper. That'll give some idea of what mordants can do.

Posts from Tubs
An Etsy Sourced Bathroom
Dream Bathroom
Inspired by Nancy's great Anthropologie Etsy Challenge post, I wondered if one could furnish an entire bathroom using Etsy. If it could be done, would it be a cohesive look, and would I even like it?! The answer is, mostly, yes.
Renovation Resouces: Clawfoot Bathtubs
If you're going for a vintage vibe with your bathroom renovation, the clawfoot bathtub is an obvious choice. This classic tub shape will never go out of fashion, unlike those pesky jacuzzi tubs. We've rounded up some of our favorite resources for this bathroom fixture after the jump…
Bathroom in a Box: Bath Simple's 5-Step Remodel
Store Profile
When the time comes to remodel a bathroom, most of us are inexperienced novices. We might look at samples, read remodeling blogs and mags, and talk to some storeowners and contractors, hoping everything will come out all right in the end. For us ingénues, the idea of a "bathroom in a box" — where nearly everything is taken care of, from fixture choices to installation — seems appealing.
Essential Shopping Resources for Bathroom Projects Big & Small
Weekend Shoppers Guide
Whether you're gutting your bathroom or just giving it a little facelift, sometimes the hardest part of getting started is sourcing the essentials. While our list is in no way complete, these stores are some of our favorites.
Kontextur: Modern Bath Accessories
Store Profile
Why is it that you can easily find a good looking trash can, but bath accessories still consist of aisles of palm tree ceramics and plastic fish figurines? This is the exact conundrum Kenneth Schiller faced, and the catalyst for creating Kontextur, an oasis of attractive and functional items for the loo.
Renovation Project Planning: Tips for Fitting a Laundry into a Bathroom
Having in-unit laundry machines is a luxury right up there with having a dishwasher, a flood of natural light and perhaps parking. When you get a stain, have guests over or just plain need something clean to wear, there's nothing better than being able to do a quick load without having to schelp all your stuff to the laundromat. If you have a little space that you can give up in your bathroom or closet, you might be able to gain a whole laundry area.
Remove Tub in Small Bathroom?
Good Questions
Q: Since my fiance and I just bought a tiny fixer-upper from my aunt and uncle, we knew that we'd need to make a few adjustments to suit our needs, starting with maximizing the space, especially in the bathroom. Since there is one bathroom in the whole one floor home, we need to make the best of it. There is no storage at all in the bathroom, and that will be a problem, so we were thinking about ditching the tub and just installing a stall shower, BUT we are starting a family soon and we know that a tub is always a plus in any home.
Organization Inspiration: 10 Neat & Tidy Bathrooms from Our House Tours
Clean and serene — those are pretty idyllic words for a bathroom. But neat and organized? That might seem a little out of reach for those of us with small spaces shared with roommates and family members. If you're looking for a little inspiration, there's nothing better than taking a cue from some of the best bathrooms from our house tours:
Little Changes That Make a Big Difference: Bathroom Update Ideas
In small spaces like bathrooms, modest changes can have a big impact. Just like kitchens, a good bathroom should be functional and beautiful, so we've rounded up five update ideas to help you achieve the best of both.

I have a partial roll of weed fabric that was given to me that I thought I would use as shade fabric. I saw a show on PBS that demonstrated how it doesn't work as weed blocker. That stuff is a real fail! I'm just trying to decide how to put it up, which direction, temporary or permanent, that sort of thing. I've been reading a thread on pvc building things, so that got me thinking about it more.
Texan Buckeye
You're so creative. Can't wait to see what you come up with. Wouldn't the weed block increase the heat though? I used it one year and it worked ok, but cleaning it up after harvest was something else. You have to tack it to the ground to keep the wind from blowing it and ripping out the plants, but it still gets loose in some places. Then, at the end of the season, pulling it out was enough to lengthen your arms. Made me feel like I had orangutan arms getting that stuff up and I still see bits of it here and there. It was great though for starting early seeds because it held the warmth in.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 11/28/12 -- While many British Columbians enjoy warmer temperatures than the rest of the country, it does not seem to calm their nerves when they invest. At a presentation entitled The Art of Investing held today at the Vancouver Art Gallery, Serge Pepin, Vice President, Investment Strategy, BMO Asset Management Inc., revealed that people living in British Columbia are the most emotional investors in Canada, with many unaware of what is in their portfolios or not putting enough money away for the future. On a positive note, almost 80 per cent hold some kind of investment.
During the presentation, Mr. Pepin revealed the following about B.C. investors:
-- Almost half (47 per cent) say that emotion plays a role when making investment decisions, surpassing the national average of 41 per cent. -- Sixty-three per cent of B.C. investors have made an investment decision based solely on impulse. -- Almost two-thirds (61 per cent) report they are not always in total control of their emotions when investing. -- Anticipation, trust and fear are the emotions felt most intensely when deciding how to invest.
"Though we can't always help how we feel, it's important to keep our emotions in check when making decisions about investing," said Mr. Pepin. "The money you invest today will determine your ability to achieve your financial objectives in the future. Wise investing decisions based on a well thought-out strategy will allow you to properly save for retirement and plan for other important life goals."
In his presentation, Mr. Pepin also revealed that many British Columbians do not know how to make an investment and lack the confidence to do so:
-- Forty-five per cent of British Columbians are not confident investors. -- Almost one-third (28 per cent) are not familiar with the companies in which they invest. Some are not even sure in what they have invested. -- Only 17 per cent conduct careful and extensive research before making investment decisions. -- Fifteen per cent have invested based solely on a company's name or logo.
Are British Columbians Investing Enough?
As to how much they are investing, 43 per cent of British Columbians do not believe they are investing enough and 21 per cent do not hold any investments at all. Respondents identified the following barriers:
-- Not enough savings (83 per cent) -- Focussing on paying off debt (82 per cent) -- Not sure who to turn to for advice (76 per cent)
"Rather than investing with their hearts, or not investing at all, British Columbians should educate themselves on best practices and seek strategic advice that will allow them to build and manage their portfolios with confidence," advised Mr. Pepin. "If they don't do their due diligence, they could jeopardize their dream of a comfortable future."
Mr. Pepin's comments were based on the newly-released BMO Psychology of Investing Report that examines the mindset of Canadian investors. The inaugural report builds on the BMO Psychology of Spending Report released in September - part of a series of studies from BMO that examine the personal finance and investing behaviours among Canadians and the resulting effects.
As part of its ongoing commitment to 'Making Money Make Sense,' BMO has introduced various tools to help Canadians stay on top of their personal finances, including BMO by Appointment, BMO MoneyLogic, BMO SmartSteps, BMO SmartSteps for Parents and BMO SmartSteps for Business. Additionally, BMO recently launched a Financial Planning Website which enables Canadians to determine what steps to take today to reach their financial goals with confidence. It features a full range of online tools, including a Retirement Savings Calculator, Major Purchase Calculator, Education Savings Calculator, Cash Flow Worksheet and a Net Worth Worksheet.
Get the latest BMO press releases via Twitter by following @BMOmedia.
For more information, please visit www.bmo.com.
The survey results cited in the BMO Psychology of Investing Report are from online interviews with a random sample of 1,000 Canadians 18 years of age and older, conducted between November 6th and November 8th, 2012. A probability sample of this size would yield results accurate to +/- 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20. The sample size among residents of British Columbia was n=175.

Established in 1817 as Bank of Montreal, BMO Financial Group is a highly diversified North American financial services organization.
