UPS Expands LCL Lanes - Analyst Blog
United Parcel Service Inc. ( UPS ), the leading package delivery company has expanded its Less Than Container Load (LCL) services to additional networks in Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and South America. This brings the company's LCL network to 17,000 direct LCL lanes serving 116 countries. UPS' efforts to expand its LCL lanes that not only support its ocean business but also ensures cost savings against expensive airfreight.
Given the slackness in the economy, the company believes yield pressure will continue due to the changing business mix, resulting from customer shift from premium products to cost effective logistic solutions. As a result, the company's expanding presence in the LCL space would imply a shift from its airfreight business. This would ultimately benefit the cost structure and serve as an attractive opportunity to add customers in the present economy.
UPS has also added LCL lanes to countries like Vietnam considering its low labor cost. Over the next few years, the company plans to invest in new technology and facility expansion in markets including France, Latin America, Vietnam, China and Korea. In tune with this expansion spree, the company augmented phase 1 of its European hub operations at Cologne/Bonn Airport in Germany to increase capacity by 65%.
The expansion would cost about $200 million, with the entire project is slated for completion at year-end 2013. Overall, UPS projects capital expenditures of $2.4 billion for the year, which is concurrent with its capital-spending estimate of 4% of revenues over the next five years.
However, we remain concerned about volatile economic conditions that continue to restrict market demand. Further, the company is also exposed to unionized workforce and intense competition from giants like FedEx Corporation ( FDX ).
Other Stock
Air Transport Services Group, Inc. ( ATSG ) and Deutsche Post AG ( DPSGY ), both with a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), are the other stocks worth considering in this sector.
UPS has a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).

Avanti Responds To Nisga'a Move On Kitsault Moly Mine
Avanti Mining (TSXV:AVT) responded this morning to the recent decision by a BC First Nation to launch a dispute resolution process with the provincial government over an environmental assessment of the Kitsault molybdenum mine.The move on the part of the Nisga'a Lisims Government could delay the restart of the past-producing mine located north of Prince Rupert. Kitsault has proven and probable reserves of 232.5 million tonnes grading 0.081% Mo and containing 415.8 million pounds of molybdenum as outlined in the 2010 feasibility study. Avanti President Craig Nelsen said the company has spent four years and $13 million on assessing the environmental impacts of the mine, and noted that BC's environment assessment process is "one of the most rigorous anywhere." He also said the Nisga's were key participants in the process and the company provided the First Nation funding to do so. "The amount of work that we have done to ensure the Nisga'a Treaty requirements have been met has been extraordinary and unprecedented, and the government has already gone well past the statutory timeframes," Nelsen said, adding: "We firmly believe that BC and Canada have fulfilled their obligations under the Treaty and fully expect the Ministers to approve this project at this time." According to Avanti, there is nothing in the Nisga'a Treaty or provincial legislation preventing ministers from making a decision on environmental assessment, despite the Nisga'a having initiated dispute resolution. The mine would inject some $1 billion in new capital spending over 25 months of construction to local communities and provide over 700 construction jobs and 300 jobs during its 16-year minelife to local communities including the Nisga'a, Avanti noted in its press release. For its part, leaders of the Nisga'a Nation said Thursday that the billion-dollar molybdenum mine would violate the province's first modern-day treaty.

|See for Yourself Participants Will See Checkoff in Action in 2012
|News Releases - Agribusiness
|Written by United Soybean Board
|Friday, 18 May 2012 13:46
United Soybean Board announces participants for annual program
ST. LOUIS (May 16, 2012) – What happens to U.S. soybeans after farmers unload their trucks at local grain elevators or processors? A group of U.S. soybean farmers are about to find out. The United Soybean Board (USB)/soy checkoff has selected 10 farmer-participants for the 2012 See for Yourself program, which will give attendees a firsthand look at how and where their soybeans are being used both domestically and internationally. The program, which also offers farmer participants an opportunity to evaluate specific, checkoff-funded research and promotional activities, will be held August 5-11 in St. Louis and Guanajuato, Mexico.
The soy checkoff selected 10 farmers who applied to take part in the fifth annual See for Yourself program. These farmer-participants will see their checkoff dollars in action by visiting a number of sites related to the national soy checkoff objectives to improve the value of U.S. soybean meal and oil, ensure the industry and soy customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and meet the needs of U.S. soy customers. The locations will also demonstrate USB's work to protect and support animal agriculture and increase public and private investment in transportation infrastructure.
Rick Stern, USB Audit & Evaluation program chair and a soybean farmer from Cream Ridge, N.J., believes the See for Yourself program helps inform farmers about the checkoff and allows them to evaluate and provide feedback on checkoff-funded programs. "There's no better way to show someone the value of their investment than to show them the results firsthand," Stern says.
For example, participants will learn about the use of soy biodiesel at Lambert-St. Louis International Airport, tour a barge-loading facility and visit a laboratory to see soy research taking place, all before heading to the number one market for U.S. soybean meal – Mexico. While south of the U.S. border, participants will get a firsthand look at a large user of U.S. soy in the central Mexican state of Guanajuato.
The following U.S. soybean farmers will participate in the 2012 See for Yourself program:
The 69 farmer-directors of USB oversee the investments of the soy checkoff to maximize profit opportunities for all U.S. soybean farmers. These volunteers invest and leverage checkoff funds to increase the value of U.S. soy meal and oil, to ensure U.S. soybean farmers and their customers have the freedom and infrastructure to operate, and to meet the needs of U.S. soy's customers. As stipulated in the federal Soybean Promotion, Research and Consumer Information Act, the USDA Agricultural Marketing Service has oversight responsibilities for USB and the soy checkoff.

As of 2014 ICS is no longer offering polygraph examination services directly. We are currently sub-contracting all polygraph services only in conjunction with investigation type cases. Polygraph examinations should be conducted as part of or proceeding a more complex investigation. Please complete a free consultation to learn about alternatives to polygraph testing services.
Polygraph testing is available throughout the United States and overseas. These testing devices are readily available for use all over the world. But why? Simply because liars and dishonest people are readily available, themselves. Polygraph testing is being utilized more often by law enforcement, and even spouses. They are effective in determining if a person is telling the truth about the questions that are specifically asked, most of the time.
Polygraph machines are machines that are programmed to measure and record changes in different body responses to particular questions. It is believed that when a person is not being truthful, the heart rate increases, blood pressure will increase, respiration increases and electrical resistance changes. In measuring these changes, a trained professional can determine if the truth is being told, or if a person is having a change in physiological characteristics, suggesting a sign of lying.
The most common among approaches to the polygraph tests is the Control Question Test (CQT). This particular test can be used in determining if a suspect should actually be prosecuted in connection with a specific crime, or if they were uninvolved in the crime in question. This determination is made by asking a question that the suspect would be truthful about. Some of these honest answers can include their name or their date of birth. From there, a truthful determination response can be identified. Thus, effectively, giving a guide to truthful and false answers.
The Directed Lie Test (DLT) is used by having a suspect intentionally lie in the answer to a question. The normal types of questions that are asked are, again, usually simple, such as, their name or birth date. From there a lie response is determined and can make it easier when determining the truth from the false information answered. The determination is made by measuring the physiological responses to the questions.
The next approach is the Guilty Knowledge Test (GKT), a multi-choice type question test about a specific crime. One of the answers to these types of questions will be only known by the investigator of the crime. The criminal will answer this and thus provide the test giver that they are guilty. They are generally very case specific questions with incriminating details revealed. This particular approach is somewhat reminiscent of a multiple choice tests that are taken in school, with a verbal answer.
Although this testing is used by many agencies, it is not scientifically sound according to a vast number of psychologists. Of the three approaches to this kind of testing the one that psychologists seem to feel has a sound scientific theory is the Guilty Knowledge Test. Many feel this test can be used as a forensic tool.
Contrary to popular beliefs, a polygraph test is not a lie detector test. It only measures the changes in respiration rate, blood pressure, heart rate and electrical responses. Many different factors can fool this machine into giving a false report. Some of the little things that can affect the results of the test are anger, embarrassment and nervousness. These can alter your heart rate etc., throwing off the results. But, that's not all that can toy with the results, having to go to the bathroom, a cold, headache and some medical conditions have also been known to falsify the results and make them appear that the person is being less than truthful.

I have to say, this is totally my favorite cosplay right now. I am SO happy with how well this turned out! I am in the process of moving into my new house right now and my sewing machine cords have gone missing so I need to find those and sew the shirt and garter belt but once that's done (and I get my GORGEOUS guns from the friend who made them for me) she'll be complete and ready to rock Otakon 2013~!
Your alice cosplay is so on point !! everything is perfect ! well done !!
Hi, I am running Facebook fan page about Alice and Resident evil movies. I like your cosplay and I hope I can get your approval to put it on my page, it already has a lot of DeviantArt artists. And, of course, it will have your DeviantArt link added to it.
Wow, it looks so great! *__*
Very well done ^^
awesome cosplay!!!

I've got a Centre Track system on a solo mountain bike.

The ContiTech one for Android does pretty much the same thing.
I've got a Centre Track system on a solo mountain bike.
The Gates app is only for Iphone.
The ContiTech one for Android does pretty much the same thing.
For a low tech player, 83hz is pretty much Low E. Or, you can easily find a free tone player online and save the 83hz output.
An even lower tech test is the 1/2" belt deflection with a 10lb weight placed in the middle of the span.
okay, thanks. I'll check it out..
Recomended tension is about 60psi, down from gates original recommendation of 80psi. At those tensions the belt can not skip under any cyclist imposed load.
The original CDC sprockets came in both anodized and carbide anodized. There is no indication which one might have. Turned out we had the carbide anodized and had 15,000 miles on it with no sign of wear. We are in Colorado with dry, dust free riding for the most part. Others with the normal anodizing saw wear within 5,000 miles. Our carbide equipped bike in now owned by a WY team and I have not kept track of the miles since.
We now have a new bike with CDX front sprocket, CDC rear sprocket and I do not have data on whether the CDX has been carbide anodized. Why we have CDC rear is that the belt is on the right on a V2R Paketa designed for this installation, and the clearance in the back is very tight. So tight that because the DCX does not have that shallow recess normally in the face for the sprocket/ring, the bolt is 1mm closer to the frame and does not clear. Paketa is working on Gates to include that bolt recess in the face of the CDX as they do on the CDC. A couple picture below.
For alignment, it is worth noting that the construction of the belt is done on about a 4' wide drum with the carbon strands wound spiral from one end to the other. As each belt is cut it inherits a slight angle withint the threads of the belt. As a result, you may find that a well aligned belt still wanders off a CDC system. You might try flipping the belt 180 degrees / reversing the rotation of the belt.
compact adaptor.jpg
yes, very true. Flipping the belt starts a new wear surface
I used the app and it just seems way to tight.
I imagine you considered each of these, so maybe you could comment on them and why they didn't work out:
- drill your own bolt recesses in the CDX ring
- look for chainring bolts that have a flatter/thinner head
- spacing the Lightning cranks differently to provide a bit more clearance room on the drive side

We are currently running the CT belt with more like 1" deflection rather than 1/2" and it is working just fine at that looser tension. Our setup is using a more standard crossover/timing ring configuration with the 2012 Ultegra R601/603 tandem cranks. So far, we have not detected any flex in our new S&S Calfee frame, so having a super stable inter-BB span may aid in maintaining tension uniformity under load.
With the belt being perfectly quiet and no vibration as I always felt with tha timing chain, our impression of the Gates CT is very much thumbs up. Bonus I don't have to clean or oil the sucker either

Twocicle, I also backed mine off to about what you set yours at and I think I'm happier with that tension. But the real test will be when we get out on the road with it.

Pretty nice & new cranks there I can't tell if it's the carbon weave or protective tape in your photo. If they don't have some kind of "frame-saver" tape on the crank arms yet, you might want to add that to keep scuffs off. I use: ISC Helicopter-OG Surface Guard Tape (8 mil Outdoor Grade)
Last edited by twocicle; 03-10-13 at 09:44 PM.
Reducing the tension does not help. The tension from the captains pedal stroke is higher than 60psi, so you are not really inducing any more load on the frame by running the belt at the proper tension.
Last edited by Turbotandem; 03-10-13 at 09:13 PM. Reason: edit
Do you have photos, data or other information that proves the CT/CDX system would wear improperly when less tension is used?
see: http://www.carbondrivesystems.com/im...endations1.pdf
Also, from the Gates FAQ section, they indicate approximately 1/2" deflection with 5-10lbs of force. To me this indicates there is a window of tollerance. Absent sufficient reason otherwise, I choose to run on the "less force" side.
How much tension is needed, and how do I know when I have enough?
The best way to tension the Carbon Drive belt is to use our tension gauge. If you don't have a gauge, you can use the "force/deflection" method. Press down in the center of the belt span. The belt should move approximately ½ inch with 5-10 lbs of force.
I picked up the phone and called Gates (720-524-7206)... again, to discuss all this with their tech guy "Ian". Unfortunately they do not have any docs or FAQS discussing the possible installation differences between the CDX vs CDC (the latter may require the higher tension to prevent the belt from walking), or between single bikes vs tandem setups.
Ian confirmed that although the CDX/CT system can be tensioned up to 85hz (even higher than 83hz), there is no requirement to do so. He also confirmed that "less tension is always better because there is less friction", and that there is no wear issue that would be caused by running a looser tension - logically the reverse would be true.
Final recommendation point is to run the system just tight enough to prevent the belt from slipping/jumping sprocket teeth.
Perhaps Steve misinterpreted what I said, or didn't actually participate in the call (bingo!). Nobody said to run the belt so loose that it would skip, but that it may not be necessary to run it at the top end of the tension specification. If Gates is worried people will start riding around with floppy loose belts and poke their eye out (A Christmas Story), then that is quite laughable.
50hz sounds (pun) about right, Wayne. Glad you got the gist of it, unlike Steve.

Hitting the 60-65 Hz range is not so easy when you're on tour, reassembling the bike in a coach parking lot or beside a grass airstrip, and don't have a nice pin spanner to rotate the eccentric precisely, and are instead relying on the needle-nose pliers from a Leatherman multi-tool braced against the crank (which I became quite adept at). In addition, the tension varies a little with the position of the two cranks since the belt rings are not perfectly centered on the crank axles, which for us results in a variation of about 5 to 8 Hz between the loosest and tightest spots in the cranks' rotation.
Therefore, if there is no point in the crank rotation that gives a reading below 50 Hz or above 65 Hz, then I am happy enough, and I lock it in place there (hopefully, as long as I remember this final step). So I'd certainly agree on the guidelines that others above have given.
mouth harp (PC name) if one were available in the correct pitch to use as a belt tuning aid. Having a Ti harp in your seatbag would be oh so cool. Gates, you missed out on selling at least one of those trinkets. LOL.
The chain ring bolts are a specialty item, very long to get this configuration. I didn't procure them, but I suspect options are limited in this length. If I could those bolts would be ti, but they are not available in the length needed.
I did not do the assembly, but I know Dave worked the configuration over and over again including shim options with the Lightning cranks. He was not happy with any of those configurations. He's thinking about chain line as well as keeping the belt center close to the bottom tube center which makes the tandem ride more stiff/responsive.
For now, the solution is to use the CDC ring. For the day when CDC rings are no longer supported or available, we'll have to work another solution. Gates says they will continue to support and manufacture the CDC, but in case not there are solutions as you suggest.
Makes sense. I agree it seems odd Gates did not provide bolt recesses in these new rings.
I looked at putting our rear CDX ring on the inside of the spider, but that would leave only about 1mm clearance to the chainstay with the belt on. That is a bit too close for my comfort level and I didn't want to mess up the chainline by shifting the rear Ultegra cranks more to the timing side. These cranks have a fairly low Q-factor (159mm), but along with that comes less wiggle room for spacers, etc. So, I stayed with outboard ring mountings for now, until I come up with something better.
PS. When I used the term "inboard" in prior posts to refer to our bike, that is to mean inboard of the chain rings. A few makers have attempeted a belt installation outboard of the chain rings, but this induces so much bending in the frame so far from the center line. Better to put the belt on the left than to put it outboard of the chainrings on the right.

Rago Response: The sizing may sometimes take some exchanging until you find your perfect fit. Our sizing chart is a recommended base, however we do understand that all sizes are not going to fit all women. Women come in all shapes and sizes so it's ok to try a size up or down.
Kim from Gretna La. 70053
Rago Response:
Body types vary and we log all criticism but we have not had such comments. We will log and review but for now I suggest the Rago 801
Mel from Salt Lake City, Ut.
Rago Response:
When putting this garment on you need to pull it all the way up it is a high waist fitting product.
Dawn from NJ
Rago Response: The sizing differential on this product assumes a 8 to 10 inch drop from waist to hips so I would suggest a smaller size for you.

A formal indictment was unsealed this afternoon against Jamshid Muhtorov who is accused of proving material support to a designated terrorist organization.
The 35-year-old refugee from Uzbekistan was arrested on Saturday night at Chicago's O'Hare Airport on his way from Denver to Asia.
The U.S. Marshals are expected to bring Muhtorov back to Colorado from Illinois to face the charges. If convicted, he faces 15 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
Muhtorov is accused of supporting the Islamic Jihad Union, a militant group also fighting Uzbekistan's authoritarian regime.
Court records show the federal government believes he was planning to fly overseas to attack coalition forces and was willing to die for the cause.
A federal grand jury indicted him on a single count of providing material support of a designated foreign terrorist organization and attempt to do the same.
The FBI's Joint Terrorism Task Force in Denver investigated the case for several months. Assistant U.S. Attorney Gregory Holloway, who helped prosecute convicted terrorist Najibullah Zazi, is assigned to the case.

Aitken Puts Brave Face on Prison Life
William, Helen, The Birmingham Post (England)
Jonathan Aitken's painful task of trying to cope with life as a convicted criminal has emerged in a comforting letter written to his mother from his prison cell.
Aitken, the 56-year-old former Conservative Minister, wrote to Lady Aitken, aged 88, from south-east London's Belmarsh Prison within days of starting an 18-month sentence for perjury and perverting the course of justice last Tuesday.
In a cheerful and defiant letter, Aitken - now known as prisoner CB9298 - expresses relief at being away from media attention and the "hurly-burly of bankruptcy," consultant forensic psychologist Mr Ged Bailes said.
"People awaiting incarceration often express a sense of relief because at last they know what they have to deal with when a sentence is given," said Mr Bailes, who works with offenders on all aspects of their mental health from assessment to treatment and rehabilitation.
"Prisons are not pleasant places, prison officers settle people in and people adapt. When people who have never had contact with prison first go in, initially there may be a lot of shock but people can be very resilient."
The persistently cheerful tone of his letter may be a deliberate attempt to cheer his mother up, said Mr Bailes.
And the fact that Lady Aitken has released it to the public may be her way of supporting her son while telling his detractors "you have not ground him down", he said.
However, the letter's "jovial" tone may masking feelings of denial, said Mr Bailes.
"When people are faced with a shock it can take a long time for them to realise what has happened, or even to accept what has happened."
In addition to the cheerfulness of the letter, it is also brimming with an unmistakeable sense of self-centredness, according to Mr Bailes.
"Some people can be a little self-centred. Human beings have an ability to rationalise what they have done and rise above it. …

The range factor was excellent and the double play turning numbers are the highest I have ever seen from a player. He can manage the strike zone with a career w/k rate of 232-244. His crappy play at the big leagues was just 11 games and its tough hitting in that Met stadium from the right side.
I would not want to count on him as a player, but I think he could challenge Aviles for a backup role. Still think he starts at Pawtucket. But I think he is as valuable as say Lars Anderson.

Spring break is past and summer is fast approaching. For many area youngsters, that means summer camps are just around the corner.
The Augusta Family Magazine Summer Camp Expo provides parents with one-stop summer camp shopping.
The expo, slated for 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 27, at the Augusta Preparatory Day School Boardman Gym, will feature many local and regional camp representatives.
Saturday's Benderdinker already is expected to more than double the participation of its inaugural year.
The two-hour noncompetitive kayak or canoe paddle on the Savannah River, accompanied by an all-day festival on land, will begin at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 27, at Riverside Park in Evans.
In addition to water events, Benderdinker includes a festival with music, food, craft vendors and activities for children.
Metts Memorial Car Show
Blues & BBQ
The following accounts were taken from reports from the Columbia County Sheriff's office:
Rhinehart's workers robbed
Two employees of an Evans restaurant told authorities they were robbed at gunpoint early Friday morning.
Mickey Lubeck has wanted to stage the musical Honk!, a retelling of the Hans Christian Andersen tale of The Ugly Duckling, for several years but she always received a negative response from her students at the Musical Theatre Workshops. They thought the show was just for little kids.
"I tried to get across to them it's a story that the little bitty ones as well as adults will enjoy," said Lubeck, who swayed her students in her direction. Honk! will be presented at 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, April 27, at Greenbrier High School.
It's time to celebrate spring in Grovetown with the 11th annual Heritage Festival on Saturday.
The annual festival will be from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Liberty Park Community Center at Newmantown Road. Admission is free.
It will be the second year the festival is held at the community center instead of spread out at several locations along Robinson Avenue, city Community Events Coordinator Jennifer Evans said.
Wifesaver has closed an Evans location and is moving to Grovetown.
Franchise owner Bob Quigley opted to relocate his restaurant at 116 N. Belair Road near Columbia Road, which closed Sunday, instead of undertaking extensive renovations on the dated building. The new eatery is set to open April 29 at 5123 Wrightsboro Road.
Quigley spent three years looking for land in the vicinity of his old location, but real estate was too pricey, he said. Grovetown offered a more affordable option and a strong customer base.
The Sacred Heart Garden Festival heralds spring in the Augusta area and signals area gardeners and gardening enthusiasts to take part in an annual rite that marks the change in seasons.
This year's festival, slated for April 26-28, will convene under the "Southern Tradition with a Twist" theme.
"The theme lends itself to both the traditional and a bit off of the beaten path, if you will," said Mary Louise Hagler, chairwoman of this year's festival. "There are traditional style gardens and a couple with that twist of creativity that provides a bit of excitement."
Most have heard the saying, "April showers bring May flowers." Rainfall in April helps replenish plants as they enter into another growing season.
However, this precipitation also brings unwanted consequences to our landscapes: disease.
Fungal and bacterial diseases usually start popping up at the beginning of spring. For disease to occur, the following three components must be present: host, pathogen and environmental conditions that favor growth of the pathogen. With time, these factors lead to plant disease.

Education and Schools in Kuala Lumpur
Schools in Kuala Lumpur are divided into public, private and international schools. Due to numerous factors, including the language barrier and bureaucratic obstacles of enrolment at public schools, most expats living in Kuala Lumpur choose to send their children to a private or international school.
Parents should not struggle to find a school for their child as there is a broad range of private and international schools in Kuala Lumpur to choose from. However, education at these schools comes at a high price and parents should factor these costs into any negotiations for their relocation package.
The top schools may also have waiting lists, so it's best to begin the enrolment process as early as possible. When choosing a school it is important to consider the location of the school. Traffic in Kuala Lumpur can bring life to a standstill at times and, even though some schools may seem relatively close to the office or home, they may be inaccessible during peak traffic.

Kenmore Oven not Heating
I have Kenmore Electric 316.... About a month ago it got really hot while I was baking and it gave me an F? code. It worked again fine for a month, but now it only heats to around 150 degrees. All the fuses and voltage issues were ok'd by my electician friend. He said it had to be something inside the stove. What do you think?

"We are excited with the results of this study which demonstrate that pimavanserin has the potential to offer PDP patients a new treatment option that, for the first time, can achieve the desired clinical profile by providing an effective, safe and well tolerated antipsychotic therapy," said Uli Hacksell, Ph.D., Chief Executive Officer of ACADIA. "We remain committed to advancing pimavanserin to registration as a first-in-class treatment for this large unmet medical need. These results also suggest that pimavanserin may have the ideal clinical profile to address a broader range of neuropsychiatric disorders that are underserved by currently marketed antipsychotics.""These significant and consistent top-line results are a strong validation of the optimized study design used in this trial," said Roger G. Mills, M.D., ACADIA's Executive Vice President of Development. "Encouragingly, benefits of pimavanserin were seen by patients, caregivers and investigators, as well as the independent raters. Following the successful outcome of this pivotal Phase III trial, we will continue our ongoing preparations for a confirmatory pivotal Phase III trial, the -021 Study, using the same trial design."

Do you Gocco? You will.
I never respected my poor Print Gocco until she was gone. Over the four years that she was the main tool of my craft, I treated her super bad. I stored her in a closet under shoes, dropped her dozens of times, let my twins knock her off of a chair, never cleaned her, never changed her batteries, ever. I shouldn't have been surprised when over the past few months, she began to decline. She was making spotty prints, not exposing bulbs, ruining screens. It was so sad. My quest for a new machine began and was far easier than I expected.
Wait, what's a Gocco, right?
Wikipedia says:
Gocco is a fully self-contained compact color printing system invented in the 1977 by Noboru Hayama. Using flash bulbs similar to those found in old cameras, an original image is thermally imprinted on a master screen.
The name "print gocco" is derived from the Japanese word and concept "gocco", loosely translated as a type of make-believe play used to learn common rules and knowledge.
In December 2005, Gocco's parent company, "Riso", announced they are ending production of the Gocco system due to low sales in Japan. An Internet campaign was started to find a new home for the product (www.savegocco.com).
So, over four years, I used my Gocco to make nearly 1000 prints. I printed on blank cards, silk screened t-shirts, lunch bags, pillows, underwear. You name, it I printed on it. (See photo below of 2 and 3 color cards.)
The Gocco is the answer to all of your silk screening wishes and dreams. It is compact, easy, low stress, fun. The only real drawbacks to the Gocco are the smallish print area, about 4 inches by 6 inches and the constant threat of supplies disappearing since the parent company announced the product's demise.
It appears that all of the worries surrounding the Gocco's future can now be quelled. This week, Paper Source made this announcement on their website:
"In our excitement about getting the Gocco machines and supplies in at Paper Source, we sorta jumped the gun with our announcement that the machines are available to order from us immediately. We're delighted that on June 22nd Gocco machines and supplies will be offered for sale online. We'll be happy to take your pre-order over the phone. Please call us at 888.727.3711 to pre-order any of the Gocco items listed..."
This is super news. Having a major store supporting Gocco is totally rad. Their product list's first item is this, though: PRINT GOCCO ARTS FOR PAPER $395.00. I am not sure what they are selling for $395 or if that is a mistake, but I bought my new Print Gocco from Northwood Studios 3 weeks ago for $165. I also saw one available on Etsy's Feltcafe this morning for only $100. So this $395 price point should be researched before you run out and buy one from Paper Source. Some other good online sources for Gocco machines and supplies are Welsh Products and Wet Paint Art. I have ordered from both myself. Welsh Products has the best price and customer service.
UPDATE:The updated Paper Source site reveals the $395 item to be the larger print area (6.5in. x 9.3in.) Gocco machine.
My new, smaller, cuter Gocco is orange and happy and easier than ever to use (see photo, she will always be stored in her box with bubble wrap!).
Last night, I made a small batch of t-shirts in under 30 minutes. How rad is that? It is not this easy for beginners, of course. There are tons of tips and tricks that I am always giving out. These might not be helpful to you until you are in the middle of a project, so book mark this post and come back to it:
- Start out using the Gocco inks. They are never too thin or too thick for the screens. They are a sure thing. Later on, feel free to experiment with other silk screening paints, but only after you see what the Gocco can do.
- Mix paint! The Gocco ink for fabric only comes in bland primary colors. Mix them to make new colors and you will be mucho happy.
- Change the batteries in your machine every few months. I never changed my batteries and know I got less than perfect prints because of it. I also had the scare of, "is it broken?" When I just needed new batteries.
- Clean your screens! I used to just toss mine. But you really can clean them (with the Gocco cleaner or baby oil or water) and use them again.
- Store your screens in foil.
- Only use print outs from a laser printer, no ink jets!
I would love to hear your tips, please comment with them below!
My prints are pretty simple, but to see some amazingly intricate work, check out the gocco flikr group.

Review Details
Country Way 2" Aluminum 5.5 HP Water Pump CWWP-20
Product Review (submitted on July 16, 2012):
This Chinese made pump is very superior to the US made pump that uses Briggs & Stratton motor. This TWP gas tank is over the carburetor, starts first pull almost always. B&G carb sets over gas tank and when cold must suck up gas requiring many pulls before gas is sucked up to start. As much as I hate to support Chinese made tools, this pump works great, I have two of them. The Briggs & Stratton pump is going to scrap iron dealer.

The man facing the death penalty for allegedly stabbing five people to death in a Denver bar is due in court this week, when attorneys will argue a slew of motions in the case.
Dexter Lewis, 24, is charged with 16 counts for his role in the attack that left five people dead at Fero's Bar and Grill in October 2012.
The charges include first-degree murder, arson and robbery.
On Monday, attorneys will begin the first in a four-day stretch of motions hearings.
Prosecutors and defense attorneys will argue dozens of motions, including what evidence may be presented at trial, what Lewis will wear during trial and a defense effort to move the case out of Denver District Court.
Interactive: Denver Crime Map
A number of motions focus on whether statements made by Lewis and three others connected to the crime will be admitted at trial.
Two other men charged in the case, brothers Joseph and Lynell Hill, have accepted plea agreements and have received lengthy sentences.
A fourth man, Demarea Harris, was working as a confidential informant for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives when he entered the bar with the three other men.
Harris has not been arrested or charged in the case.
Attorneys will argue whether or not the varying statements the four men made — most of which contradict the others — will be presented to the jury.
Prosecutors have already indicated they will seek to present all the statements Lewis made to police and others at trial. They allege Lewis inflicted the fatal stab wound on each victim.
Lewis' case marks the first time since 2001 that Denver prosecutors have pursued the death penalty.

Biotech Stock Mailbag: Merrimack, Rockwell, Prosensa, Osiris
TheStreet) -- An email from Peter Y. kicks off this week's Biotech Stock Mailbag: Wondering if you could give your perspective on Merrimack Pharmaceuticals' (MACK - Get Report) chances of a successful outcome on their just completed enrollment for MM-398 in phase III trial for pancreatic cancer. Wondering how this might play into the Feuerstein-Ratain Rule?MM-398 wraps the "old" chemotherapy drug irinotecan in spheres of liposomes, or fats, which is supposed to increase the absorption of the drug inside tumors where it can be most effective and minimize exposure in surrounding, healthy tissue, therefore reducing potential for side effects. Merrimack's phase III "NAPOLI-1" study enrolled 400 patients with advanced pancreatic cancer that no longer responds to gemcitabine-based therapy. In other words, these are second-line pancreatic cancer patients. The patients are randomized to one of three arms: 1) MM-398 monotherapy; 2) MM-398 plus 5FU-leucovorin (a chemotherapy regimen); or 3) 5FU-leucovorin as the control. The study's primary endpoint is overall survival with progression-free survival and objective response rate as key secondary endpoints. The MM-398 study completed enrollment at the end of August. Merrimack executives have guided to the release of top-line results in the fourth quarter or possible early in the first quarter of next year. With that as background, let's see what the Feuerstein-Ratain rule says about the outcome of the MM-398 study. As a reminder, the F-R Rule says phase III studies of cancer drugs have a zero percent chance of success (100 percent failure rate) if the company sponsoring the study has a market cap of $300 million or less, measured four months before the study results are announced. Merrimack's fourth quarter 2013-first quarter 2014 guidance for MM-398 data makes it harder to nail down a timeframe from which to calculate the company's market cap. I'm going to use January 1, 2014 as my target date because it's the midpoint of Merrimack's guidance. Four months back from Jan. 1, 2014 is Sept 1, 2013, which puts Merrimack's market cap at just under $350 million. That places Merrimack outside the F-R Rule dead zone, but just barely. Vical and Ziopharm were similarly positioned ahead of their respective phase III studies recently and both failed. The F-R Rule has proven to be very accurate to date, so I'd have to give MM-398 low odds for success in this second-line pancreatic cancer study. The company's recent below-market financing and subsequent stock sell off likely reflects low investor expectations for the MM-398 study.BOSTON (

Ok so I took a spill the other day, nothing major, but when I got up my saddle was still tightly clamped down but totally misaligned. I was wondering does this happen to you guys when you fall sometimes? Obviously it has to do with the extent of the fall and the relation of your body to the saddle when you fall (sitting in it or standing). The likely case would be that your saddles would move, but I'm only asking because i've always had issues with by seatclamp and/or binder bolt and I was wondering if this is the reason this happens or if it's just normal.
I've been riding for some time and never really gave this any thought, but now I'm curious

So I am trying to understand this 'war on women' and taking it piece by piece. One of the factors is violence against women. For me, it's very personal. On this issue, I believe that both sides have it all wrong. The Violence Against Women Act needs to redone to include men as well. If I were a man, I would be screaming 'war on men' because of two reasons.
First, men have 3 forms of birth co
I may get flamed for this and many Christians may have an issue with me posting this; however, it is what it is and this is the world we live in and we all need to consider this no matter your beliefs. We can approach these issues with humanity and compasssion or we can approach them as though everyone needs to live by the Bible and the rules that God established (which is not happening b/c not everyone will live by those rules and guidelines.) It causes me to think 'how would Jesus Christ, while on earth, have approached these issues we face?) Somehow I don't think Jesus would say 'oh well, too bad for you.'

Fun was had by all at our Fall Festival.....
October 20, 2015
Here is a sneak peak of our facility!
October 6, 2015
Hats off to the staff at O'Charley's....
I am a retired RN Nurse for 26 years. Before nursing I was diagnosed with Cerebella Ataxia which is hereditary. It is a balance problem that affects my balance, walking and speech. When I become stressed or extremely tired my speech becomes very slurred.
Before coming to Rehab at Jonesboro Nursing and Rehab, I had been seen by 5 different neurologists from local hospitals, and a Rehab facility other than Jonesboro Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, LLC with a fractured ankle. Neither of the above addressed the possibility of therapy for my Ataxia.
I came to Jonesboro Nursing and Rehab in July 2014 after I had surgery for left shoulder replacement and it was the BEST decision I ever made. I am now able to perform full range of motion with my left arm and plus they addresses my Ataxia with exercises to improve me center of gravity and safety concerns. Speech Language Pathologist was able to improve my speech intelligibility via therapeutic speech exercise. My friends state that they are amazed at my speech clarity and my walking is straighter than they have seen.
The entire staff gave positive praise and support and I say THANK YOU!!! Everyone gave 200%. They exceeded the excellence goals! I highly recommend Jonesboro Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, LLC.
