Wood manufacturers see growth in domestic product
February 27, 2014,
High Point - Domestic wood furniture makers say they saw significant growth last year, which they admit could be difficult to duplicate in 2014. Still, they believe their quality construction and proximity to the marketplace will continue to be major advantages that will drive some growth in the year ahead.
Legends Furniture, for instance, reported a 47.5% increase in sales of its domestic wood line in 2013, largely driven by additional capacity at its Tolleson, Ariz., plant, which produces mostly home entertainment and home office furniture but also some bedroom.
Due to limitations in its domestic capacity, company marketing and product development director Tim Donk said Legends won't likely duplicate that growth in 2014. But he still expects it to be a good year.
"Everything is in place to have another banner year," he said, noting that more than half the company's sales are from domestic product. "I think that speed to market has a lot to do with it along with consumer appreciation of made-in-America goods."
The company promotes its domestic story on hang tags at retail, and has competitive price points that range from $199 to $599 for entertainment console units.
Solid wood furniture manufacturer Gat Creek also had a good year in 2013, with sales up about 10% from 2012, bringing the company back to pre-recession sales levels. CEO Gat Caperton said he expects growth to slow to the 5-6% range this year since the company is discontinuing some old product.
"Our strongest category is bedroom, but that is where we have done the most product development in the last few years," Caperton said. "We are now spending time in the dining category, which is where most of the growth opportunity is for us." The company will discontinue a number of older chairs it has sold for up to 20 years and replace them with new chairs. As that product comes into the pipeline, it will take a while for the sales to catch up, but Caperton remains optimistic.
"Generally there has been clear improvement (in the economy) and we expect good growth this year," he said.
"We are very optimistic but we think our growth will be a little moderated." Glenn Prillaman, president and CEO of Stanley Furniture, said the company's Young America brand grew in the single digits in 2013, representing about 40% of the company's overall sales of around $97 million.
"I do expect growth in the coming year, but it is very difficult to predict top line revenues in this environment," he said.
Over the past few years, the company has invested in equipment and technology, including up fits to its Robbinsville, N.C., plant, where the Young America youth bedroom line is made. Along with manufacturing a line available in multiple color options, officials say controlling their production allows them to ensure the product meets safety standards. The line is also Greenguard certified, meaning it uses raw materials with low chemical emissions.
The company also has partnered with retailers to offer consumers online information about finishes, product specifications and availability. It posts its retail prices on the site, but gives consumers a chance to save by buying the product at their local retailer.

clipped corners at the winter Las
Vegas Market. It is available in
oak and alder and retails from
$829 to $899 on the West Coast
and East Coast respectively.
Prillaman believes these will be among the company's primary drivers of success in the year ahead.
"The biggest tailwind is the fact that we don't have to make any changes in our business, and we are very focused on making ourselves easy to do business with," Prillaman said. "We have a great product with great value, and a good website and we are protecting the brick and mortar retailer by not allowing the Internet to be just a price shopping tool."
The main challenge, he said, is to improve the partnership between Young America and its retailers so that together they can be focused on "attracting and retaining the customer that wants to trade up" to the brand, which offers dressers retailing around $849 and twin beds around $749.
Some manufacturers are more bullish on 2014, saying that they expect to see more growth than last year.
Chad Gascho, founder, owner and president of solid wood case goods manufacturer Conrad Grebel, said business was up about 10% in 2013. He expects sales to increase 15% to 20% this year.
"I have grown every year since we started in 2002," he said. "There are advantages to being small. I had nothing to do but grow."
He said that over the years, his company has sourced bedroom and dining room furniture from about 11 Amish workshops within a 30-mile radius of his company headquarters in Indiana. This year in particular, he expects to see growth from two solid wood lines that offer a better and best story - one at price points of $5,999 and $7,999 for four-piece bedrooms and another at $3,499 to $4,499 in the American Hardwood Creations line it introduced last April.
Five-piece dining sets retail from $1,799 to $7,999 in the regular Conrad Grebel line and $1,499 to $2,299 in the American Hardwood Creations line.
Gascho said the biggest challenge is to differentiate itself from other Amishmade lines by offering more stylish looks.
"The perception is that all Amishmade furniture is the same," he said. "It forces us to be creative, and we are open to being creative. The opportunity is to be more creative and distinct than other companies out there."
Simply Amish is another solid wood Amish-made furniture resource that experienced growth in 2013. Company President Kevin Kauffman said sales were up 10%, ithe company's fifth consecutive year of growth.
This year, he expects to match that growth.
"Last year was a record year for us on overall sales," he said, noting that previous year growth was in the mid single digits. "We are planning on growing on that."
Kauffman admits the company can't come close to matching the price of imports. But he said the company isn't willing to sacrifice quality simply to compete with those goods.
"A lot of people recognize the value you get with this product," he said. "Just because it is made in America is not the reason it is higher-priced. It has higher quality, has better hardware and is well thought out.... They get a lot for their money."
|The Garrett bed by Gat Creek is made with solid
Appalachian cherry and is shown with some case
pieces from the company's Sabin collection. The bed
retails at $1,998.
That said, the company has sharpened its price points by scaling back the size of some pieces. It also is doing some larger production runs.
"If we can do 20 pieces at one time, that is a big run for us," he said. "That created efficiencies for us there."
A bed in the regular line retails for about $1,999 compared with $1,099 in an entry-priced line. A best-selling large dresser retails at $3,599, while an entry priced version sells at $1,699.
Art Barber, president of dining and occasional furniture manufacturer Charleston Forge, said the company saw 20% growth last year and expects to grow 25-30% this year. That won't get it back to its peak sales before 9/11, but Barber is optimistic about the future because of the company's added efficiencies in manufacturing and its more targeted sales approach, which includes social media.
"It's been a tough battle," Barber said, noting that the company had to sell some real estate and pare down its work force to remain stable. "But we are seeing growth, and we expect growth this year."
Charleston Forge and others are achieving growth after investing in equipment, technologies and even new facilities. Kauffman said Simply Amish recently spent about $200,000 to more than double its in-house finishing capabilities. Caperton said Gat Creek added five CNC machines in its West Virginia plant in the past year or so, and is adding some new sanding and molding equipment this year.
"Domestic manufacturing has become a niche, but even within that niche you have to be internationally competitive," Caperton said. "The folks that are left manufacturing in the U.S. are the ones who can compete on an international basis.... The lesser players have been taken out of it, but it is still competitive."
Bedroom and home entertainment/office furniture producer Oak Design Corp. also saw growth last year and expects to grow again this year. Company President Ismael Castellanos attributes that to the company's maintaining its quality standards.
"We haven't lessened our quality, or come up with a new product for a customer that wants to spend less money," he said. "We have stuck to what we have wanted to do best. The mentality (of the consumer) is completely changing in that they want higher quality product and made-in-U.S. product."
To stay competitive, his company too has invested in new equipment, including a new CNC router last year. This year, it is installing new software to offer retailers real-time information on product and where it is in the production and shipping process.
"This year, that is our biggest priority," Castellanos said. "It will streamline our whole operation.... Now customers, when they send in an order, they want to know an exact shipping time based on backlog."
He said other challenges remain, including the California regulatory environment that sets rules on everything from formaldehyde emmissions to labeling requirements for U.S.-made product. Raw materials costs, including oak, a major component of its wood line, are also rising.
That said, he remains optimistic about 2014.
"We are trying to provide the best product at the best prices, and little by little I am putting my stamp out there for customers," he said. "It's about quality, quality, quality, and then the profits will come."

We are attorneys who live most of the year in New Albany, Ohio and have vacationed on Martha's Vineyard regularly since 1980. We have travelled many places, but believe Martha's Vineyard is one of the best places on earth!
We purchased our home in Vineyard Haven in 2008 as a gathering place for our extended family. We love it and hope your family will as well.
Nancy Ferguson purchased this house in 2008
The house is two blocks from the beach and downtown Vineyard Haven. Vineyard Haven has great shopping, restaurants, and proximity to the ferry and island-wide bus service. It is home to the island's best bookstore, home decor stores, galleries, coffee shops and 4 theaters! Unlike the other towns on Martha's Vineyard, most of the Vineyard Haven stores and restaurants remain open in the off-season.
This is the tenth year that we have made this home available to the rental market. During those years, we have never had an open week, we have never deducted any amount from a rental deposit, and we have had many, many repeat rentals. Many people re-book for next year at the conclusion of their stay. Accordingly, there are only a few weeks during the summer that this property is available. We have many more reviews that we can share from a competing rental website, if you would like to see them just let us know!
Our shingle style house was built in 1898 by William Barry Owen, a local businessman, real estate developer and owner of the Martha's Vineyard Bank. The park and beach, one block from our home, was named in his honor. The home was sold to Captain Henry Stevenson in 1898. Captain Stevenson owned a freight boat, the Eben A. Thatcher, which was a fixture in Vineyard Haven harbor for many years. The house remained in Captain Stevenson's family until we purchased it from his granddaughter in 2008.
The location of this property, near both the beach and downtown, is an unbeatable combination. You will find yourself walking everywhere. The house's character, in-town location, expansive porch, view of Vineyard Haven harbor, and proximity to Owen Park Beach (one block), sold us instantly. It is rare to find a property that allows the occupants to easily enjoy both the beach and a downtown atmosphere.
This is the 2nd year that we have rented this house.
Love the location (5 minute walk to downtown Vineyard Haven and the ferry).
Perfect vineyard home!
This rental was every that was promised. The house is a beautiful island home in the heart of Vineyard Haven. The house is within walking distance to the town. There are wonderful galleries, restaurants, clothing stores and shops to explore in town. The house is comfortable, charming, and beautifully decorated. The beds are comfortable and the bedrooms are spacious. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking apparatus and serving ware. All the necessary appliances needed to cook wonderful meals are available. The best part of the house is the beautiful porch that overlooks the harbor. The swing on the porch brought back many wonderful memories of our childhoods. It is a very relaxing space to read, nap, have conversations, and just relax. Nancy and Jerry were extremely helpful with information about places to eat, sight to see, and things that were fun to do on the island. I would recommend this rental to anyone wanting to visit Martha's Vineyard!
We recently stayed at this rental for our first visit to Martha's Vineyard. What a wonderful location! As stated, it is within walking distance to all of the unique shops and restaurants of Vineyard Haven. The charming house is beautifully decorated, the rooms are spacious, and the house is well maintained. Our favorite spot was the back porch where we spent numerous hours relaxing and enjoying the view of the harbor. Perfect for morning breakfast, reading, enjoying a cocktail, or a lobster bake in the evening. Since this was our first time on Martha's Vineyard, Nancy was a wealth of information on restaurants, grocery stores, sightseeing and things not to miss on the Vineyard! Having a place to park the car was especially important as parking is limited and it was nice to be able to take our car and explore the rest of the island. We would definitely recommend this property for your visit to Martha's Vineyard. It's a wonderful place to stay!!
Make sure you check out the location of this property on Google Maps! One block to the beach and 3 short blocks to the ferry, shops, dining, bookstore, coffee shops, galleries, theaters and public transportation--in the heart of Vineyard Haven and all it has to offer. The excellent public library is across the street. No need to bring a car since you can walk to the ferry terminal, which also serves as the hub of MV's excellent bus transportation system to all other Island towns. Off street parking for up to 5 cars is provided if you choose to bring your vehicle. Perfect for teenagers who can walk to all of Vineyard Haven's amenities on their own.

In anticipation of the Toffee Pecan Caramel Pound Cake I am sharing with you this weekend (in time for Easter!) and my Layered Caramel Pecan Toffee Ice Cream Cookie Crumble Cake (perfect for summer!), I thought I would start with the Easy Creamy Caramel Sauce because this caramel sauce deserves it's very own post.
Just like this caramel makes the pound cake better, this caramel makes everything better.
This caramel makes apples, bananas, pretzels and popcorn better.
This caramel makes waffles, French toast, crepes and pancakes better.
This caramel makes cookies (especially in a skillet!), brownies, cheesecake, and ice cream better.
You get the idea. It pretty much makes everything better. At some point though, it becomes not about making a food taste better but rather just finding new vehicles to douse with caramel so there are more "legitimate" reasons to put caramel in my mouth.
Be cautious though, its a creamy, lip smacking, finger licking slippery slope. First its drizzled on ice cream, next its bathing carrots.
I am asked for the recipe every time I bring it anywhere! Its rich, creamy, buttery and sweet and 1,000 times better than any store bought caramel.
Now to making this easy caramel. I am not going to lie. I have burnt caramel before. But not this caramel. This caramel is FOOL PROOF! If you can boil butter, brown sugar and a smidgen of water then stir in evaporated milk and vanilla, than you can make this caramel in 5 minutes! SO EASY!
You can even control the consistency for thicker or thinner sauce by simply adjusting the amount of time you boil the ingredients.
I suggest keeping evaporated milk on hand so you can always make this caramel, which means you can always eat this caramel, because as previously discussed, you never know when you might need to "make something better…"
.5 cups
- 3/4 cup butter
- 1 1/2 cups light brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1-2 - 3/4 cup evaporated milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- Add butter, brown sugar, water, and salt to medium saucepan and heat over medium heat, stirring until butter melts.
- Bring to boil for 5 minutes (it will bubble a lot!), stirring occasionally.
- Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 cup evaporated milk and vanilla. Add additional evaporated milk to reach desired consistency.
Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for 5-7 days.
This caramel reheats beautifully in the microwave or stovetop.
You can also freeze the sauce for up to 3 months. Just make sure to use an airtight container that's NOT glass because the milk expands when frozen and can rupture the glass. Defrost the sauce overnight in the fridge and warm gently before using.

Online Exclusive: Trademark Squatting Sees Global Increase
Starbucks had an identity crisis. Back in the early 2000s, the company was itching to open up some stores in Russia. But it couldn't do so under its famous brand name because Sergei Zuykov, an attorney with no affiliation to Starbucks, had registered the company's trademark in Russia.
Zuykov offered to give up the trademark registration if Starbucks paid him $600,000. Instead, Starbucks took the trademark squatter to court.
It took Starbucks more than three years to cancel the registrations and win back the rights to its trademark. The company incurred significant legal expenses, but the biggest cost for Starbucks was that it had to delay its entry into the Russian market. By the time the company opened its first Russian store in 2007, the price of real estate had shot up, the labor market had tightened and competitors had entrenched themselves across the country.
Many other companies–including Kodak, Forbes and Audi–could tell similar tales of trademark squatting. The practice has become a serious problem for companies seeking to do business in Russia, China, India, Korea and some other nations around the world. Trademark squatting is not, however, supposed to be a problem in the U.S. Attorneys and companies widely believe that trademark squatting doesn't occur in this country. "I don't see it as a problem in the U.S. The law is sophisticated enough to prevent this," says Philip Jones, a shareholder at Brinks Hofer Gilson & Lione.
Tell that to Geisha LLC. The company has three successful and highly regarded restaurants in Chicago, New York and Las Vegas, all operating under the name "Japonais." The company recently completed an expensive, four-year legal battle to wrest the federal trademark registration for "Japonais" from a trademark squatter here in the U.S.
Trademark squatting is a relatively new phenomenon in the U.S., but some experts warn it's growing. "This problem is increasing in frequency, and small and major brand owners are equally at risk," says John Cullis, a partner at Neal Gerber & Eisenberg.
Not in America
Trademark squatting has long been a problem for companies doing business overseas. "It is a well-known foreign practice, a cottage industry," says Robert Lee, a partner at Alston & Bird.
In most foreign countries, anyone can register a trademark simply by filing a trademark application. And once the mark is registered, the legitimate brand owner is in trouble. The brand owner will have to fight for years and pay some hefty legal bills in order to get the registration canceled, if it does get canceled. The only other alternative is to pay off the trademark squatter.
For many years, however, U.S. law effectively discouraged trademark squatting. Here, unlike overseas, trademark rights arose only from using the mark, not from simply filing a trademark application. One had to sell or ship goods bearing the mark in interstate commerce in the U.S. in order to obtain a federal registration of the mark. Squatters didn't want to go through the time and expense of doing this.
Then Congress changed the law. The Trademark Law Revision Act of 1988 created intent to use (ITU) applications. For the first time, anyone could obtain trademark rights simply by filing an application and paying a modest fee, provided the applicant had a "bona fide" intent to use the mark in commerce. "The PTO has made it incredibly easy to file these applications online at the PTO's Web site," Cullis says.
Gaming the System
Trademark squatters have found a way to take advantage of the ITU application process.
After an ITU application is filed, an examiner at the PTO reviews it. If the review determines the application satisfies procedural and substantive requirements, the application is published in the agency's weekly Official Gazette. Anyone who believes the registration should not be granted can file an objection within 30 days of the publication. If no objection is filed, the applicant will receive a Notice of Allowance. The applicant then has six months in which to submit a Statement of Use (SOU), evidence that it is using the mark in commerce. After the agency has reviewed the SOU, it will issue a registration of the mark.
That's how it's supposed to work. ITU applications are intended to provide brand owners with a relatively short period of protection, enabling them to use their new marks in interstate commerce and thus complete the criteria for registering those marks.
Trademark squatters, however, have discovered how to game the system. A squatter files an ITU application, receives a Notice of Allowance, but usually does not go on to use the mark in commerce. Instead, the squatter files a simple form, pays $100 and extends by six months the deadline for using the mark in commerce. It is possible to obtain six extensions, each of which grants an additional six months. Thus, without using the mark in commerce, a squatter can hold rights in the mark for up to three and a half years.
In the Geisha case, for instance, New York resident Roy Tuccillo filed an ITU application for "Japonais" as a mark for restaurants, nine months after Geisha opened its "Japonais" restaurant in Chicago to widespread acclaim and coverage by the national media. The PTO approved the ITU application and gave Tuccillo a Notice of Allowance in August 2005. He managed to wait almost three years before filing an SOU. A federal court in New York subsequently found this SOU was fraudulent, holding that "Tuccillo was not in fact operating a bona fide … restaurant under the JAPONAIS mark" for the time periods he had claimed.
Paying Off
During the period after a Notice of Allowance is issued and before an SOU must be filed, a trademark squatter is in a powerful legal position. The Notice of Allowance gives the squatter significant legal rights and casts a shadow over the legitimate brand owner's ability to use the mark. And there's little the brand owner can do to attack the Notice of Allowance, according to Cullis. The brand owner must wait until the squatter either has abandoned its ITU application (by failing to provide evidence of use) or has finally registered the mark. Once the mark is registered, the genuine brand owner can commence a cancellation proceeding.
In short, if the brand owner doesn't notice the squatter's ITU application in the Official Gazette and object within 30 days, the squatter can effectively prevent the brand owner from using its own trademark for more than three years.
There is thus a big incentive for the brand owner to pay off the squatter.
Experts agree that the best defense against trademark squatting, whether in the U.S. or elsewhere, is for brand owners to register their marks before the squatters can. But that's often easier said than done.
"The Internet gives squatters an easy way to monitor a company and read its press releases on plans for new products or expanding into new markets," says Jennifer Dean, a partner at Drinker Biddle & Reath. "Before the company goes public with such plans, it should make sure to file the appropriate trademark registrations."

I received a sample of this from Angel and the folks at TeaVivre. Thank you!
This came in a vacuum sealed packaging with brewing instructions written on the package. This is my 2nd or 3rd keemun. The first keemun I tried had quite a bit of smoke to it and I really enjoyed it. I was anticipating the smoke for this tea and there is only a hint of smoke for me. This tea is medium bodied. The first part of the sip is very smooth that hints at a tad bit of bitterness towards the end. There is also a dry malty taste with a hint of smoke. I am not sure what to make of this tea. It is a tasty cup, but not one that I would crave. I will have no problems finishing what I have but I am not sure this one would be a restock for me.
I want to note that my ratings are based on my preference and whether or not I would restock/repurchase a tea.

'At the Bottom of Everything' Shows Its Author's Promise
Ben Dolnick is a young writer from, Brooklyn, and he is the real thing. His gift for metaphors deserves recognition. He writes with humor and intellectual rigor.
At the Bottom of EverythingPublisher: Knopf Doubleday
Length: 256 pages
Author: Ben Dolnick
Price: $24.95
Format: Hardcover
Publication date: 2013-09
Washington, DC, in the late '80s/early '90s. A friendship forms between two school kids. One, Adam, is mostly interested in being normal, attending parties, and hooking up with high-school girls. The other, Thomas, is harder to read. Everyone seems slightly in awe of Thomas's intellect. Normal adolescent matters don't trouble him. He's unnervingly even-keel.
Adam admires Thomas's philosophical depth. When a teacher erupts at Thomas, Thomas handles the situation calmly, and he later says, "Well, that could have been much worse." How many teens have the presence of mind to shrug off a teacher-meltdown? Adam wishes that he had Thomas's strength of character, his spine.
But the friendship begins to suffer. Why can't Thomas just get drunk and go after meaningless foreplay, as nearly everyone else does? Maybe he's not such an asset, after all, thinks Adam.
However, time with Thomas is still sometimes fun. For example, one night, Adam and Thomas persuade each other to steal the keys to Thomas's parents' car. It's late, and they drive slowly, attempting tricks from action movies. One boy will run and jump onto the windshield while the other boy drives. Other stunts ensue. On a fateful night, weeks later, Thomas performs a trick that Adam doesn't anticipate. Thomas jumps from the driver's seat out the door and, for complex reasons, neither Thomas nor Adam is able to catch up with the car as it rolls away.
In slow-motion, the car moves into an intersection. Its lights are off. Another vehicle nearly collides with it, and swerves at the last second. The vehicle strikes a young woman. She is hospitalized and later, she dies.
Thomas and Adam recover the car and escape from the scene with (possible) impunity. No one has seen them. They go on to live their lives. They drift apart. Guilt gnaws at both. Adam finishes college and doesn't really know what to do, so he stumbles into tutoring and a superficial relationship.
The relationship ends, and Adam's heart breaks. He wanders into tutoring sessions, and entire hours pass in which he says very little, or nothing. (As he notes, depression can make you unusually skilled at enduring long stretches of tedium.)
One particularly randy tutoring mom propositions Adam, and suddenly the two are fucking in the mom's bedroom. The affair becomes all-consuming, until the mom's estranged husband walks in on the couple. Suddenly, Adam's tutoring career is over.
At the same time, disturbing reports regarding Thomas come in. His parents are at a loss. Thomas has not finished college; he has spent too much time on the couch; he has traveled to India, and he no longer has contact with his family. Could Adam reach out to his long-lost friend?
It's not fully clear to me what motivates a soul as troubled and immature as Adam to perform the good deed that follows. In any case, Adam does consent to write to Thomas. The e-mails persuade Adam to get on a plane and follow Thomas to India.
All of the novel, up to this point, is interesting and plausible. As I re-narrate it, in all of its complexity, I think, Can I really have believed each plot twist as it happened? I really did believe the twists. It's a tribute to the author, Ben Dolnick, that I didn't even think to doubt the twists.
What happens toward the end is no less plausible but, unfortunately, it's uninteresting. Adam discovers that Thomas has learned some Zen tricks. Adam follows Thomas to the home of the car-crash victim's family, and both young men atone for their sin. Some of the Eastern philosophy and practice that Thomas has adopted will take root in Adam. Adam will accept that desire leads to suffering, and that standing still and taking deep breaths is almost always a good idea. Compassion leads to maturity. Self-forgiveness leads to empathy. Yadda yadda yadda.
I want to emphasize all there is to love about this book. Dolnick is a young writer in Fort Greene, Brooklyn, and he is the real thing. His gift for metaphors deserves recognition. He writes with humor and intellectual rigor. His decision to narrate portions of the novel via e-mail transcripts is wise, and the e-mails really do reflect many different, compelling perspectives on Thomas's decline.
And yet the last third of the novel simply didn't have me on the edge of my seat. The grown-up Thomas seemed more like an idea than like a person. The tension between Adam and Thomas isn't really addressed, and it needs to be addressed. It's the core of the novel, and it gets cast aside. If Alice Munro were telling the tale, the final pages would be some kind of breathtaking confrontation between the two men or, at least, there would be a genuinely surprising epiphany. Nothing like this happens in Dolnick's novel.
Call it a failed, enjoyable experiment. Still, I will keep an eye on Dolnick's career.
Also, if you're looking for a similar and slightly more satisfying story, consider David Schickler's memoir, The Dark Path. Schickler covers quite a bit of Dolnick's terrain, but Schickler has a memorable, well-earned ending.

Put kids at the heart of child-care union debate
By Joanna Weiss Globe Columnist / November 22, 2011
Text size – +
Tender Hearts ay Care Center in Dorchester has joined small centers across the state in an effort to unionize, coordinated by the American Federation of Teachers-Massachusetts and the Massachusetts Teachers Association. This new union would be unconventional and unprecedented, open to both workers and owner-operators, requiring a bill for its creation. And like anything involving unions these days, it has become caught up in larger forces and general mistrust.

(15 quotes found)
"It's three completely different looks. Moody comes from the left side, works both sides of the plate and tries to keep hitters off balance. I try to do the same thing from the right side, and Fern comes back and does things different than I do."
"The court finds that it is necessary to grant (Moody) a new trial because it finds the jury misconduct undermined the integrity of the jury deliberations and public confidence in their verdict,"
"Moody is a complex, challenging character. Brendan brought a great balance of ferociousness and humor to the role that makes him both formidable and lovable."
"They are taking it real tough. Everybody is mad. Jeremy Case is real mad. (Christian) Moody ... the seniors are real devastated about the loss."
"In 'Doom,' (you have) a wonderful cinematic venue; it's atmospheric and moody and scary. So you know the genre you're in, but you still have to craft a complete story."

Summer School, England - Every Year in June
http://careermastery.net.au/?7f5=6a Dear Friend in Homoeopathy,
Once again the Summer School was a success. Delegates commented that "it was the best yet", "really learnt so much"; "wonderful opportunity of observing so many live cases and follow-ups"; "confidence on classical methodologies and its wonderful action in this drug-dependant world".
خيار ثنائي التطبيق الروبوت "I particularly enjoyed the clinics".
Dr. Subrata K. Banerjea is pleased to announce the Nineteen Summer School for 2018, which is now a part of the establishment.
TThe "Summer School" will take place in Great Baddow, in Chelmsford. London is approximately 30 miles away, and the seaside 25 miles, both are accessible by train from Chelmsford.
- To develop your Materia Medica.
- To grasp the Medicine Picture through a few Key-Expressions (e.g. retention for Nat. Mur; Anchor for Pulsatilla; Principle for Kali Carb; Unfulfilled for Tuberculinum) and Miasmatics of Medicines (Rapid miasmatic diagnosis and remedy diagnosis through appearance, gesture, posture and behaviours).
- To compare related medicines instantly.
- To be a confident prescriber with time tested, century old scientific approach of combining Miasms, Totality & Essence with sound knowledge in Materia Medica; Practical Reinforcement of Classical Hahnemannian-Kentian Approach: Consistent & Repeatedly verified, even in the Drug Dependent Cases, see how it works! (Guarantees confidence in Materia Medica as the medicines are presented through personification, pictures of faces, gestures etc and extensive comparison with related medicines)
- Observe Rapid & Permanent relief of curable Pathology: Live Cases in the Teaching Clinic of U.K and Video footage of Indian Medical Centres: Fast results even in Drug Dependant Cases.
- Re-visit the action of century old lesser known Organopathic medicines like Helonius, Indigo, Tanacetum, Verbena in Depression; Amyl Nit., Epiphegus, Melilotus, Onosmodium, Usnea for Migraine. (a) To discuss the Organopathic lesser known medicines for common acute & chronic ailments e.g. Asthma, Arthritis, Cough & Cold, Constipation, Depression, Eczema, Hypertension, UTI etc. (b) To discuss the effective classical methodology to deal with drug dependant patients from Subrata's extensive clinical experience in the U.K & India with illustration of successful cases and demonstration of the rapid action of the Organopathics. (c) To demonstrate methods of weaning off conventional chemicals in accordance with aphorism §91 of Organon and thereby giving confidence to the patient that (i) yes, I can control the dosage and may take fewer chemicals; (ii) there are alternatives to manage my condition and (iii) homoeopathy is working for me!
The "Modern Classical Prescribing" an article by Dr. Banerjea in our website (details at: http://homoeopathy-course.com/index.php/about-us/our-prescribing) has been specifically designed to use homoeopathic medicines in drug dependant cases and wean off gradually the conventional chemicals without any complications or side effects. Dr. Banerjea has extensively used either deep acting anti-miasmatic medicines or lesser known organopathic medicines to open such cases and when the totality is more clear, prescribe a polychrest or constitutional medicine.
So see here please official site prepare the http://vgo.vn/?zerkalo=strategia-opzioni&f4f=40 weblink patient for receiving the Seroquel 300mg click to read more polychrest (PPPP)!
In aphorism §91 of Organon, Hahnemann clearly mentions about prescribing for natural disease and not for conjoint disease (where the drug induced artificial chronic disease is super-imposed on natural disease and patient cannot give us a clear picture e.g. modalities, sensation or characters of pain etc.)

Discussion in 'Classic Racquet Talk' started by plasma, Jan 21, 2009.
Sorry to ask but .... what racquet is that in the middle where the strings are diagonal?
Keubler Diamant, made by S. Keubler, the genius German engineer who invented the wilson profile and all other wides. Oh yeah, he's also a leading racquet collector, author, and historian...basically a living God...
That looks like a definite collectors item.
Your Prestige Pro has 'balls'
I tried to neuter it but the old vibrazorb dampeners leave a gummy residue after 20 years. Vibrazorb was superb, it killed vibration better than rubberbands but didn't totally mute, kill and homogonize feel like rubber dampeners. I remember Prince came out with a yellow vibrazorb after these originals, and soon the foam dampeners were lost forever to rubber ones which looked cooler, but did the needed job too well... let's bring back the puffy dampeners, tennis needs more balls these days!!!
kind thanks to my buddy Bob, for this perfect specimen of a US Prestige Pro,superb!
Oh, no!!!
^^ it sort of reminds me of Mr. Bill, now (balls are now eyes)
memories, ....can't forget
Gilda Susan Radner (June 28, 1946 – May 20, 1989)R.I.P.
Sweet wall.
Wait...you tried to neuter your balls?
Hmmm..I am glad the Keubler is not stuck in a dark leather-smelling closet lol
Here's a pic of the Diamant against the background of my Van Gogh...jk..it is painted by my mom
Have U hit with it yet, Dan?
Plasma, by any chance, do you have a Wilson Graphite Matrix? I'm looking for a few...
just traded my last matrix, sorry...someone offered me a graphite matrix which I've never tried, I'd love to try the wilson reflex 85 as well,but more than any other, I am looking for an 85 square inch Chris Evert autograph mid...I saw an OS and it looked like an Ultra, sounds like the mid might match my current love, the stars and stripes...a great, great racquet...makes the loudest "pop" ever...feels just like a prestige or puma winner, elastic on the inside...
Separate names with a comma.

In a plastic encapsulated semiconductor package 1 shown in FIG. 1, a semiconductor element (not shown) such as an IC or an LSI is placed on a lead frame 2. After wiring is formed, the structure is placed in a mold, and an epoxy resin is injected into the mold for encapsulation. However, during molding, the epoxy resin leaks through the gap between the lead frame 2 and the mold to form flashes 3 on the lead frame 2 and in the gaps between the leads of the lead frame 2. When a columnar electric element such as a diode is to be plastic-encapsulated, the epoxy resin leaks out through the gap between a pair of upper and lower molds, thereby forming flashes around the columnar molded product. Plastic encapsulation of such a columnar electric element therefore requires a post-molding step to remove such flashes. In view of this problem, a hard abrasive such as alumina, silicon carbide or glass bead, or a soft abrasive such as a walnut shell powder is blasted onto the flashes 3 to remove them.
However, a problem is encountered when a hard abrasive is used. That is, an abrasive with a hardness HR C of 70 or more while the epoxy resin useful for a semiconductor device has a hardness HR M of about 100. Thus, the abrasive is far harder than the epoxy resin, and has a specific gravity four times that of the epoxy resin. For this reason, when the flashes 3 are removed, the surface of the package 1 is damaged, to have a poor outer appearance. In addition to this, moisture may be introduced through the damaged portions of the package 1, adversely affecting reliability of the semiconductor element. On the other hand, a problem is also encountered when a soft abrasive such as a walnut shell powder is used. Since such a soft abrasive has an removal ability which is weaker than that of a hard abrasive, a soft abrasive must be blasted at a higher pressure than a hard abrasive. This leads to deformation of the lead frame 2 and a higher running cost of the equipment for manufacturing the molded products, since a larger amount of compressed air is used. Furthermore, when a soft abrasive is used, static electricity is generated between the abrasive and the molded product 1 upon contact therebetween. The static electricity firmly attaches the fine powder of the abrasive, flashes and the like to the surface of the package 1. As a result, an outer appearance of the package 1 is degraded in a subsequent soldering or plating step. This also leads to a problem of corrosion of the lead frame 2.
To prevent these problems the present invention has as its object a method for removing flashes from a workpiece or molded resin product with greater efficiency which will not damage the molded resin product, which significantly reduces attachment of the small pieces of the abrasive to the molded product, and which allows an easy post-treatment after flash removal.
In order to achieve the above object, there is provided according to the present invention a method for removing flashes from a molded resin product by wet-blasting, wherein a slurry comprising a synthetic resin abrasive, water and a surfactant is blasted onto the molded resin product.
According to the present invention, a synthetic resin having a relatively high hardness and a small ductility is preferred. Examples of such a synthetic resin may include thermosetting resins such as an epoxy resin, a urea resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, an alkyd resin, or a melamine resin; or relatively hard thermoplastic resins such as polystyrene, polycarbonate or an acrylic resin. In particular, since a thermosetting resin can provide particles which have a polygonal shape and sharp edges, it is preferred for flash removal.
When flashes are to be removed from a plastic encapsulated semiconductor package, an unsaturated polyester resin or an alkyd resin having a hardness equal or close to that of the resin for encapsulation (e.g., hardness HR M of 80 to 120) is optimal when the product is encapsulated with an epoxy resin having a hardness HR M of about 100. The size of the synthetic resin particles can be freely selected in accordance with the application of the abrasive. However, when an abrasive is to be used for removing flashes from a molded product, the abrasive should, preferably, consist of particles having an average size (defined as 1/2 the sum of the maximum diameter and the minimum diameter) of 0.05 to 2.0 mm (i.e., more than 50% of all the particles preferably have sizes distributed in the range of 0.05 to 2.0 mm).
The shape of the particles of the resin may be arbitrarily selected and may be spherical, needle-like, flat, polygonal and so on. Also, a mixture of particles having different shapes may be used. An abrasive consisting of particles having different shapes generally has a better performance than an abrasive consisting of particles of a single shape.
The particles of the resin abrasive preferably have a large number of cutting edges to grind a workpiece or remove flashes therefrom upon being blasted against the workpiece by a compressor.
Thus, the average size and shape of particles of an abrasive can be determined depending upon various features of a workpiece to be worked upon, the precision required for this specific workpiece, and so on.
The synthetic resin abrasive particles as described above are obtained by the following procedures. A synthetic resin mass is formed into a thin sheet or the like. The sheet is crushed by a crusher or a hammer to obtain resin granules. The resin granules are milled by a roll mill, a ball mill, a jet mill, a cutter or an impact grinder. The particles obtained are passed through a mesh to have the required predetermined size distribution.
The slurry consisting of a synthetic resin abrasive, water and a surfactant to be used with the present invention can be produced by adding a suitable amount, for example, 0.0001 to 1% by weight of the surfactant with respect to the total amount of the slurry, and either mixing it with the abrasive or coating it thereon so that the surfactant gradually smears out into the slurry during abrasion. When cracks are formed in resin flashes by collision of synthetic resin particles, the surfactant allows easy entrance of water into gaps between the flashes and the lead frame. The surfactant also serves to prevent electric charging of the workpiece to be treated upon collision with the synthetic resin particles. The surfactant to be used herein may be of cationic, anionic, non-ionic, or ampholytic type. For example, derivatives of imidazoline and carboxylic acid may be employed. However, when removing flashes from a plastic encapsulated semiconductor package, it is preferable to use a non-ionic surfactant which does not contain metal ions, halogens, ammonia, phosphorus, sulfur or the like, which may adversely affect the semiconductor element. Examples of such a non-ionic surfactant include polyoxyethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkyl ester, polyoxyethylene alkyl phenol ether, sorbitan alkyl ester, polyoxyethylene glycol ether, and polyoxyethylene sorbitan alkyl ester. The amount of such a surfactant to be contained in the synthetic resin abrasive of the present invention is not determined by the type of surfactant used or application of the abrasive. However, a surfactant can be added, in general, in the amount of 0.0001 to 1% by weight. When a surfactant is mixed in the particles of a synthetic resin abrasive, it is mixed to such a degree that the surfactant slightly spreads out from the surface of the particles.
According to the present invention, a slurry consisting of water, a synthetic resin abrasive and a surfactant, and having a low surface tension is used for removing resin flashes from resin molded products. Accordingly, the synthetic resin abrasive is homogeneously dispersed in the slurry and is uniformly blasted onto the workpiece. Water can easily enter gaps between the resin flashes and the workpiece through cracks which are formed upon collision of the abrasive against the workpiece. With the aid of vibration caused upon collision of the abrasive particles against the resin flashes, removal of the flashes is facilitated, resulting in high performance. Since use of a surfactant can prevent electric charging of the workpiece being treated, generation of static electricity upon spraying of the slurry onto the workpiece is prevented. Neither the abrasive particles nor pieces of the flashes become attached to the workpiece, thereby facilitating a subsequent cleaning step. Thus, if a workpiece is a molded product such as a plastic encapsulated semiconductor package, neither defects in outer appearance caused in a subsequent soldering or plating step nor corrosion will occur. Since the surfactant does not contain a component which may adversely affect the operation of a semiconductor device, such as chlorine or sulfur, reliability of the semiconductor device is not impaired.
FIG. 1 is a plan view showing a plastic encapsulated semiconductor package showing the appearance of resin flashes;
FIG. 2 is a representation of a wet-type blasting apparatus for practicing the method of the present invention; and
FIG. 3 is a partial sectional view for explaining flash removal using a synthetic resin abrasive according to the method of the present invention.
The present invention will now be described through examples.
A catalyst 55% "MEKPO" (methyl ethyl ketone peroxide) was added in the amount of 2% to an unsaturated polyester ester "R235A-1" (tradename of Mitsui Toatsu Chemicals, Inc.) The resultant mixture was injected into a mold having dimensions of 300�300�20 (mm). After the resultant unsaturated polyester resin block were granulated by a crusher, a hammer or the like, the granules were then milled by a ball mill, a roll mill, a jet mill or an impact grinder to provide unsaturated polyester resin particles having an average size of about 0.7 mm and a number of blade-like edges.
An abrasive consisting of these unsaturated polyester resin particles was suspended in water in the amount of 5 to 30% by weight (about 20% by weight for optimal effects). Polyoxyethylene nonyl ether (a non-ionic surfactant) was then added in the amount of 0.0001 to 1% by weight to the suspension to provide a slurry.
A slurry 7 prepared in this manner was deposited in a hopper 8 of a wet-type blasting apparatus shown in FIG. 2. Subsequently, the slurry 7 was drawn by suction by a first pump 9 and was drawn toward the bottom of the hopper 8. Then, the slurry 7 was uniformly agitated until a synthetic resin abrasive 5 was uniformly dispersed. The slurry 7 was then drawn by suction by a second pump 10 from the bottom of the hopper 8 and was supplied to a gun 11. The gun 11 served to accelerate the slurry 7 and blasted a three-phase high-speed jet flow 13 of water, abrasive and air onto a plastic encapsulated semiconductor package (not shown) placed a treatment chamber 14.
When the synthetic resin abrasive 5 collides against a resin flash 17 formed on a lead frame 16 of a semiconductor device 15, the resin flash 17 consisting of a brittle cured thermosetting resin forms cracks 18. Water rendered by the surfactant to have a low surface tension for a higher osmotic pressure easily enters into the gap between the resin flash 17 and the cracks 18. Thus, the resin flash 17 is floated away from the lead frame 16 to facilitate separation. Together with the vibration caused upon collision of the synthetic resin abrasive 5 against the resin flash 17, a gap is formed between the lead frame 16 and the resin flash 17. As particles of the synthetic resin abrasive 5 repeatedly collide against the cracks 18, the resin flash 17 is completely removed.
Flash removal was performed for 100 samples each using Example 1 in which a surfactant was contained in the slurry 7 and using a Control to which no surfactant was added. The flash removal was performed under identical conditions including spray pressure, slurry flow rate, and spray time, in each case. The flash removal performance was evaluated on the basis of the number of samples of the original 100 from which all flashes were completely removed. In the case of the Control, resin flashes remained in 20 to 30 samples, while the flashes were completely removed from all of the 100 samples using Example 1. Furthermore, Example 1 resulted in a spray time 20% faster than that of the Control. Accordingly, using Example 1, the flashes can be completely removed even if the spray pressure is not particularly high. Thus, deformation of the lead frame due to the jet flow can be prevented.
In Example 1, generation of static electricity was prevented, and neither the removed flashes nor the abrasive particles became attached to the semiconductor device 15 or to a jig for conveying it. In synergism with the self-cleaning effect of the surfactant, a subsequent cleaning step was thereby facilitated.
Polyoxyethylene nonyl ether (a non-ionic surfactant) was added to an unsaturated polyester resin solution, and the mixture was agitated to provide a homogeneous mixture. A catalyst 55% "MEKPO" as used in Example 1 was added in the amount of 2% to the mixture and the resultant mixture was injected into a mold having the dimensions of 300�300�20 (mm) for curing.
A cured resin block was granulated by a crusher, a hammer or the like. The granules were then milled by a ball mill, a roll mill or an impact grinder. The obtained particles were classified to provide synthetic resin particles having a hardness HR M of 100 and an average size of 0.7 mm. The synthetic resin particles contained 0.01 to 0.1% by weight of the surfactant and had a polygonal shape.
The particles were suspended in water (three parts water to one part particles based on weight). A resultant slurry was used for flash removal from plastic encapsulated semiconductor packages in a similar manner to that used in Example 1. Similar results to those in Example 1 were obtained.
After submerging a synthetic resin abrasive obtained in Example 1 in a 1% by weight of aqueous solution of sorbitan alkyl ester several times, or after spraying the abrasive with the aqueous solution of sorbitan alkyl ester, it was dried and was then coated with a surfactant. The abrasive was then suspended in water (five parts water to one part abrasive based on weight) to provide a slurry. The slurry was used for flash removal from plastic encapsulated semiconductor packages using the same blasting apparatus as that used in Example 1. Similar effects to those obtained in Example 1 were obtained.
Although polygonal particles consisting of a cured thermosetting resin are used for a synthetic resin abrasive of the present invention, the present invention is not limited to this application. It was confirmed that similar results to those obtained in Examples 1 to 3 can be obtained if a synthetic resin abrasive consisting of a thermoplastic resin such as a polyamide resin, a polycarbonate resin or a polystyrene resin is used.

CALGARY -- A Saskatchewan man faces serious charges after he was allegedly found speeding down the highway drunk with six young kids in the back of his van.
RCMP say they tagged an eastbound van going at 149 km/h on Hwy. 1 near Suffield, about 7 p.m. Friday, and the situation quickly escalated. The hamlet is approximately 32 km northwest of Medicine Hat.
When they pulled the vehicle over, the 21-year-old driver was found to be impaired with children sitting in the back.
Officers took six kids ranging in age from eight months to nine years, one of which was unrestrained, and Child and Family Services have joined Mounties in their investigation.
"We're still investigating his relationship to all the children ... the driver is related to all the children," Cpl. Chris Zanidean said.
When the driver is released, it will be with a court date in Medicine Hat to face charges for impaired driving and criminal negligence.
"Anytime anyone's driving is impaired, they're not only putting their lives at risk, but everyone's else's lives at risk," Zanidean said, adding having children in back "just makes it that much more important."
