Personal business loan business loan is to support the private economy banks, private enterprises, the development of individual operators, follow the national policy, introduced for individuals engaged in production and business activities for the financial needs of the loans needed to help the development of personal career goals as early as possible.
ANNEX CCC SMALL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DISASTER LOAN PROGRAMS A. PURPOSE 1. This annex outlines the general circumstances under which the Small Business Administration makes low-interest, fixed-rate loans to repair or replace disaster damaged real estate and personal property. The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) can provide both direct and bank-participation disaster loans to qualified homeowners and businesses to repair or replace disaster damaged or destroyed private property when the Administrator declares a "disaster area" under SBA's statutory authority. Economic injury loans can help small businesses suffering economic losses as a result of a disaster. Residents in affected areas must contact an SBA representative to discuss their specific situation. 2. The SBA offers three types of loans: Home Disaster Loans are for homeowners and tenants to repair or replace disaster damages to real estate and/or personal property owned by the applicant. Tenants are eligible for personal property losses only. Business Physical Disaster Loans are for businesses (including landlords and non- profit organizations) to repair or replace disaster damages to property owned by the business. These losses could be to real estate, machinery and equipment, leasehold improvements, inventory and supplies. Businesses of any size are eligible to apply. Economic Injury Disaster Loans (EIDL) are working capital loans for small businesses and small agricultural cooperatives to assist them through the disaster recovery period. These loans are available to applicants with No Credit Available Elsewhere – if the business and its' owners cannot provide for their recovery from non-government sources. B. CONCEPT OF OPERATIONS 1. The Governor, based upon preliminary damage assessments of residential and business properties, includes the SBA Disaster Loan Program in his request for a Presidential disaster declaration for Individual Assistance. 2. If a natural or man-made disaster does not cause enough damage to merit a Presidential disaster declaration, the Governor may request an SBA disaster declaration. The request must be in writing through the SBA Disaster Area Office, within 60 days of the date of the disaster. The request must indicate the CCC-1 04/03/02 specific county or counties or political subdivision in which the disaster occurred. SBA will not take action on the request while a Presidential declaration is pending. 3. The Governor may request an SBA Disaster Declaration when: a. At least 25 homes, businesses or a combination of at least 25 homes, businesses, or other eligible institutions, in any county or smaller political subdivision, each sustain uninsured losses of 40 percent or more of the estimated fair replacement value or pre-disaster fair market value of the damaged property, whichever is lower; or b. At least three businesses, in any county or smaller political subdivision, each sustain uninsured losses of 40 percent or more of the estimated fair replacement value or pre-disaster fair market value of the damaged property, whichever is lower, and, as a direct result of such physical damage, 25 percent or more of the workforce in the community would be unemployed for at least 90 days; or c. The state certifies that at least five small business concerns in a disaster area have suffered substantial economic injury as a result of the disaster and are in need of financial assistance not otherwise available on reasonable terms. The SBA Disaster Area Office must receive the request within 120 days of the disaster occurrence. 4. For an SBA disaster declaration, we conduct a damage survey of the areas included in the Governor's declaration request. (See Annex DD, Request for a Presidential Declaration). 5. In Presidential disaster declarations, SBA sends representatives to Disaster Recovery Centers (DRC) to advise and assist victims with loan applications. In SBA declared disasters or when DRC's are not operating, SBA may establish Workshops in the disaster area. If no SBA Workshops are established, interested applicants can contact the SBA Disaster Area Office or the nearest bank that is cooperating with SBA. 6. In Presidential disaster declarations, the State Coordinating Officer may request the Federal Coordinating Officer to extend the deadline for SBA disaster loan applications, when necessary. C. PROGRAM PROVISIONS General Eligibility, Terms and Conditions CCC-2 04/03/02 1. SBA makes disaster loans to any applicant regardless of age, sex, race, religion or origin who demonstrates a reasonable ability to repay a loan. An individual must have satisfactory credit and character. 2. The approved loan amount is based upon the actual cost of repairing and/or replacing disaster damaged real estate and/or personal property, less any insurance settlements, other reimbursements or grants that may duplicate any loan proceeds. 3. SBA will not lend funds for "upgrading" or non-disaster related repairs. SBA does not consider structural or other changes borrowers must make to comply with local building construction codes to constitute "upgrading." Borrowers may include cost of code required upgrades in loan amounts. 4. Generally, SBA will not require that borrowers pledge collateral to secure a disaster home loan or a physical disaster business loan of $10,000 or less, or an economic injury disaster loan of $5,000 or less. For loans larger than these amounts, borrowers will be required to provide available collateral. SBA will not decline a loan request because of insufficient collateral. However, we can decline a request if a borrower refuses to pledge available collateral. 5. Interest rates are fixed for the entire term of the loan. However, based on formulas set by law, they can change over time for separate disaster declarations. The actual interest rates in effect for each declaration will be publicized locally. 6. There are two interest rates. By law, the interest rate for borrowers depends on whether they have "Credit Available Elsewhere". SBA determines a borrower has "Credit Available Elsewhere" if they have sufficient funds or other resources, or the ability to borrow from non-government sources, to provide for their disaster recovery without hardship. Generally, SBA determines that over 90% of applicants do not have "Credit Available Elsewhere" and are eligible for the lowest interest rate. 7. The maximum loan term is 30 years. However for businesses with "Credit Available Elsewhere", the law limits the loan term to a maximum of three years. SBA determines the loan maturity and repayment terms based on a borrower's needs and ability to pay. 8. Borrowers normally repay loans in equal monthly installments of principal and interest. The first payment is usually due within five months from the date of the note. SBA can modify repayment terms under special circumstances. There is no prepayment penalty. 9. Borrowers repairing or replacing real estate or personal property located in a special flood hazard area must purchase and maintain flood insurance for the full insurable value of the property, for the term of the loan. CCC-3 04/03/02 10. Applicants who have not complied with the terms and conditions of previous loan(s) are not eligible. This includes previous borrowers who failed to maintain required flood insurance. 11. Loans can be increased for mitigation. Mitigation means specific measures taken by a borrower to protect against recurring damage in similar future disasters. The increase a borrower can receive is limited to the lesser of the actual cost of the mitigation measure or 20% of the approved loan amount. 12. Use of SBA disaster funds for relocating is subject to limitations. Generally, borrowers may relocate where they need to do so for reasons beyond their control. If the borrower is forced by the state or local authorities to relocate, the amount of eligibility is the replacement cost of the property that must be abandoned. SBA considers the damaged property a total loss and the borrower may be eligible for refinancing. Home Disaster Loans 1. Home Disaster Loans are limited to a maximum of $200,000 to repair or replace a primary residence and $40,000 to repair or replace contents (personal property). Generally, disaster loan funds do not cover rare or luxury items. 2. The amount for refinancing cannot exceed the lesser of $200,000 or the physical damage to the primary residence after reductions for insurance or other recovery. Refinancing of an existing lien(s) on a primary residence may be eligible if the borrower does not have "Credit Available Elsewhere" and a. The uncompensated disaster damage is 40% or more of the home's pre- disaster market value or replacement cost, whichever is less, including land value, or b. The uncompensated disaster damage is 50% or more of the home's pre- disaster market value or replacement cost, whichever is less, excluding land value. Business Physical Disaster Loans 1. Business physical disaster loans are limited to a maximum $1,500,000 to repair and/or replace uncompensated damages to real estate and property. This maximum dollar amount includes refinancing, code compliance, relocation expenses and all other eligible loan purposes. The $1,500,000 statutory limit applies to the combination of physical and economic injury disaster loans. It also applies to all loans to a business and its' affiliates. CCC-4 04/03/02 2. SBA can waive the $1,500,000 limit if the business is a major source of employment. 3. The amount of refinancing cannot exceed the physical damage to the real estate or machinery and equipment after reductions for insurance or other recovery. Refinancing of an existing lien(s) on real estate and machinery and equipment may be eligible if the borrower does not have "Credit Available Elsewhere" and a. The uncompensated disaster damage is 40% or more of the aggregate pre- disaster market value or replacement cost (whichever is less) of the damaged real estate and machinery and equipment, including land value; or b. The uncompensated disaster damage is 50% or more of the aggregate pre- disaster market value or replacement cost (whichever is less) of the damaged real estate and machinery and equipment, excluding land value. Economic Injury Disaster Loans 1. If as a result of a declared disaster, a business has suffered substantial economic injury, with or without actual physical damage, it may be eligible to apply for an EIDL. The business must have a physical presence in a declared disaster area to be eligible. 2. A substantial economic injury is such that a business concern is unable to meet its obligations as they mature or pay its ordinary and necessary operating expenses. The loss of anticipated profits or a drop in sales is not considered substantial economic injury for this purpose. 3. SBA must review financial statements for each partner, officer, director and stockholder with 20 percent or more ownership or control. SBA may require such persons to personally guarantee repayment of the loan and, in some instances, secure the loan by pledging collateral. 4. No EIDL assistance will be made to a business that is determined by SAB to have "Credit Available Elsewhere." 5. Only for profit, operating, small business concerns as defined by the SBA using the Standard Industrial Classification Codes, are eligible. 6. An EIDL can be made for the verified amount of economic injury and operating needs. However, no loan (including any Business Physical Disaster Loan) may exceed $1,500,000. In determining the eligibility, SBA will consider: a. The obligations that come due during the period affected by the disaster. CCC-5 04/03/02 b. The operating expenses that could have been met and a reasonable working capital position that could have been maintained had the disaster not occurred. 7. The amount of economic injury or operating needs does not automatically represent the dollar amount of loan eligibility, but SBA will evaluate the information provided and determine the reasonableness of the loan request. D. RESTRICTIONS 1. Borrowers must use SBA disaster loans to restore property as nearly as possible to their pre-disaster condition, and within certain limits, to protect damaged or destroyed real property from possible future similar disasters. 2. Borrowers must return to SBA any funds received but not used as authorized to restore property to pre-disaster condition. SBA will reduce the principal balance of the loan by the amount of returned funds. E. PENALTIES 1. An applicant who falsifies the application or falsely certifies the use of loan funds may be subject to criminal penalties. 2. A borrower who wrongfully misapplies the proceeds of a loan will be liable to SBA for one and one-half times the loan proceeds disbursed to him/her as of the date SBA learns of the wrongful misapplication.

Will the Federal Government Turn a Profit on Risk Corridors? That Can Be Stopped. »

I have written twice about the "risk corridors" in Obamacare's health-insurance exchanges. The first post described how risk corridors will work in the exchanges. Risk corridors exist for three years and are designed to partially immunize insurers from losing money in the exchanges. Recently, the risk corridors have been described as a "bailout," especially...

MINORA MAJORA PRESENTS 1-year Anniversary Party feat. Christy & Emily (NYC) w/ special guests BPX (Band Practice), I Scream You Scream, Thunder Thighs

This event is 21 and over
Experimental folk-pop duo Christy & Emily is comprised of Christy Edwards, a self- taught indie-rock guitarist and Emily Manzo, a classically trained pianist. The duo began writing music together after their band with Walter Martin of The Walkmen dissolved. Since their 2006 debut on The Social Registry, they have toured in the US and extensively in Europe. Their second record was made in Emily's basement apartment and found itself on Robert Lloyd's UK label, Big Print. In 2009 and 2011 they recorded two albums with producer Hans Joachim Irmler of Faust in the German countryside.
At home in New York they have performed at Le Poisson Rouge, The Brooklyn Museum, The Knitting Factory, The Stone and Joe's Pub, often collaborating with musicians from both rock and avant-garde classical worlds.
Recently the duo has had the great honor to develop a concert with Brock Monroe of The Joshua Lightshow and perform with him throughout Germany, Austria, Switzerland and the Czech Republic. They are also delighted to say that their music can be heard in the film, Nancy, Please (2012), directed by Andrew Seamans and winner of the World Narrative Competition at the Tribeca Film Festival.
Over many years Christy & Emily have forged a songwriting style that melds haunting vocal harmonies with jagged guitar swells and vintage electric piano/organ dreaminess. For the latest album and tours, they have built up their sound by adding Peter Kerlin (Chris Forsyth, Source of Yellow) on bass and Kristin Mueller (Gloria Deluxe, Cynthia Hopkins) on drums. In their more subtle formation as a duo, Erik Satie's First Gymnopédie does not feel out of place during a surprise appearance in their tune "Lover's Talk."
"In Christy & Emily's music, we find unconventional rockers with Brazilian baiao rhythms seated in a psychedelic netherworld, suicide ballads invoking the sordid tales in the Harry Smith Anthology and chords borrowed from Schumann and Liszt with a chorus that nods to Brian Wilson."
–Digital In Berlin
I Scream You Scream

The alphabet soup that is the military is most visible in the ships and aircraft that we see among America's armed forces. Some of these designations are fairly obvious. It's not hard to figure out that the "F" in "F-16" stands for fighter (the same is true of the F-14, F-15, F-22 etc.). What about an F/A-18, though? Well, in that case, the "F" still stands for fighter, while the "A" stands for an attack aircraft. We'll try to break this down, at least for aircraft, in today's Military Terminolo

Posters jump on the whole, "Well Europeans drink all the time!" Yeah, and what did that lead to? A legacy of genocide and wars and kids shooting up their classmates.....
His mother was not a binge drinker and did not drink in the last trimister of pregnancy at all.
Plus... after having one, its SO EASY to have two. Alcohol, after all, loosens one's inhibitions. |
While some people may have that, many many don't. I'm one of them that doesn't I have a natural stopping point, usually before the first one is done. I just lose interest.
well damn, how did we all make it through the middle ages when everyone drank mead and beers as a daily beverage and rarely drank water.
See, this is the problem I have with so many of the studies/anecdotal evidence/research on FAS/FAE. How do you KNOW that this woman was not a binge drinker? Unless she was locked in a cage and her drinking was monitored, who knows, really, how much she drank. People can lie, or not remember, or whatever. I remain skeptical.
Just because people survived does not mean they thrived. Alcohol destroys the part of the brain that empathizes.....maybe that's why they had such barbaric torturing devices?
Nothing brings out the rabid in people like drinking during pregnancy. |
it's that the lines we draw in pregnancy about what is and isn't acceptable are arbitrary, and cultural, NOT purely evidenced based, |
She is also wrong about Europe because as of October 2007, France are putting warning labels on all stock in the shops. |
But the difference is that vicodin doesn't cross the placenta...:
I feel about alcohol in prenancy the same way I do non-organic strawberries or tuna fish sandwiches. Yes, it contains toxins for which we know no safe limits. Overdosing will DEFINITELY cause problems. But y'know what? No one snatches a batch of strawberries out of a pregnant woman's hand - no one should do that for alcohol, either.
Educate - and by that, I don't mean blast with propaganda or anecdotal evidence. Talk about the risks and benefits, the times when alcohol is more or less damaging, then back the heck off. There are times, for each woman, when the benefits may outweigh the risks. Set reasonable guidelines, when we KNOW something is harmful (getting smashed in pregnancy or having several drinks a day) consider intervening, but for all this stuff about which we can say "Y'know, this probably isn't the absolute best idea" - say that if you must, then trust each woman to make the best decisions for her and her fetus. I don't drink. At all - can't stand the taste of alcohol. Kind of wish I did, but I don't, which is just as well given my risk for addiction. But I do love me my family's annual eggnog (made with a little rum), and keeping up with that seasonal tradition is worth the minuscule risk to me, just like I had Burgerville strawberry lemonade last summer and a tunafish sandwich last week. None of these choices are optimal if my sole goal is to avoid introducing toxins to my uterine environment, but I knew the risks, I made an educated choice, and I'm ok with it. My biggest problem with the absolutest stance we take on alcohol in pregnancy in this culture is that we DON'T address other, arguably as or more important dietary risks, like murcury or pesticides. NO alcohol EVER in pregnancy or you're a HORRIBLE mother, but go ahead and have a couple servings of tuna a month? Don't worry about those amalgam fillings, here, have this thimerosol-laden flu shot, and while we're at it, it's only YOUR responsibility to eat well, but not OUR responsibility to make sure you have clean air to breathe and clean water to drink, that your foods aren't poisoned to start with? It's not that there isn't a point to avoiding alcohol - it's that the lines we draw in pregnancy about what is and isn't acceptable are arbitrary, and cultural, NOT purely evidenced based, and we hold ONLY the pregnant woman accountable for the health of her child. Where's the outrage at the corporations and governments that pollute our fetal sources of oxygen, of water, of food? When we, as a culture, and doctors and makers of policy, start getting as upset with corporate pollution of the fetal environment as we do at women who use alcohol in pregnancy, then I will stop saying this is largely about controlling women and their bodies. |

Farm Bill clears way for hemp crops in N.D.
The new five-year, $480 billion Farm Bill passed by the Senate Tuesday includes a tiny provision authorizing North Dakota and a few other states to grow research plots of cannabis as a farm crop.
No, it's not pot, but the version of the same cannabis species used for marijuana that is known as industrial hemp, doesn't make you high and is used in many food and industrial products from shampoo to health supplements to fibers used cars.

Madonna Hydrangea Apology
Around the Web
i am a great fan of hers. she makes great music and i love her dancing and stage performances. i can't help but think that she must be hungry for any kind of publicity, especially since her and Guy have gone their seperate ways. she isn't in the magazines that much these days. this appears to be a pathetic attempt to create a controversy and tabloid story. and another thing i realized is that as much as i have enjoyed her music videos over the years, she is just a sinful human being like the rest of us. the fan who gave her these flowers should know that she is not to idolize. she's just human like the everyone else. i really do like Madonna, but i realize that it's a mistake to idolize her. she's just human after all, and this story just shows that so well.
She is silly pig

Nic and Maddy love living in South Hobart, where they can admire the changing moods of the mountain, and enjoy the surrounding views of the bush, and yet be a stones throw away from all things they love.
Every Superhost has their own style, but they've all reached key hospitality goals.
Congratulations, you're a Superhost! We'll reward you with priority support, product previews and more.
Nic And Maddy has completed online and offline ID verification.
Simply sublime. a beautifully designed and elegant abode in a serene setting. Our hosts ensured we had everything we needed and left us to enjoy the studio. Small touches like art pottery pieces and great kitchenware all added to the experience.
The reservation was canceled 62 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
My parents and I had a lovely stay at the rivulet studio. The building is beautiful and Nic and Maddy were great hosts just next door. I thoroughly enjoyed my morning walks down the rivulet to the city and it was a great base for getting out on the weekend or just heading up to the cascade brewery (no need for a designated driver because it's a short walk). The beds were very comfy and while I found the wet room shower a bit odd at first we were more than satisfied. Thanks for your hospitality guys!
Gorgeous property in a fantastic spot. It was fantastic to be able to wander into Hobart central so easily from the studio, or just stay in the area because there was so much to keep us entertained. Nic and Maddy were lovely and always on hand to help with the heater or offer suggestions on things to do and places to eat. Would highly recommend.
Nic and Maddy were wonderful hosts. Straight away we felt welcomed at their Rivulet studio in Hobart. The place provided everything needed. Quiet neighbourhood surrounded by mountains and close to a gourmet grocer.
What you see in the photos is what you get. A delightful modern & very comfortable, airy space in a lovingly converted old stone barn next to the owners premises. Nic was a friendly host who was there to provide assistance if required but otherwise gave us the space to relax & investigate Hobart by foot & car. The nearby Rivulet path is a pleasant walk & the CBD / Battery Point / Salamanca is about 15/20 mins walk. There are some mixed shops, groceries for self catering & restaurants from French cuisine to Fish & chips around the corner. Would describe the location as quiet residential. Would suit one or two couples travelling together. Definitely recommend!
What a beautiful property Nic and Maddy have created! The attention to details and artistic inclination make it a property worth staying in. It is very conveniently located, so close to the city and everything else you need to visit in Hobart. We really enjoyed our stay there and Nic and Maddy were very friendly and easy to deal with.
We absolutely loved our stay at the studio! It was even more beautiful than imagined. The location was fabulous being short walk along the magnificent rivulet into the CBD. Our hosts were delightful and Maddie went above and beyond by providing medicines when one of us was sick- the personal touch really made a difference! We would definitely stay here again when next visiting Hobart and recommend it wholeheartedly!
We had the pleasure of calling the Rivulet Studio home for a weeklong stay and we left most reluctantly. Nic and Maddy have created a beautiful space, close to the city yet immensely restful. We enjoyed walking downtown each day, along the rivulet, and even spotted a platypus splashing about one evening. Nic and Maddy are on hand if you have any questions but otherwise leave you to potter, explore and settle in your home away from home. The studio is flooded with natural light and the pellet fire is very toasty if you chance upon cooler weather; these features make staying at home with a good book a fabulous option if you fancy a little quiet time. We look forward to returning to the studio when we next visit Hobart.
As good as it looks! Plus more that you can't see: very comfy beds, great heating and abundant hot water. Very private, but Nic was over quick sticks when we needed help. Love the walk into town via the rivulet track. Great gourmet deli/minimart just around the corner. Very happy, would recommend.
Maddy and Emma and their man tribes were great guests. Awesome people. Invite them.
It was a pleasure to host Maddy. Though we didn't get to meet in person, communication, check-in and out with Maddy were all smooth, and I returned to a spotless, tidy apartment. What more could a host ask for? Thanks Maddy!
I really enjoyed having Maddy to stay. She was a delighful guest; considerate, respectful & easy to get along with. I would be happy to have her stay anytime.
Maddy was the kindest, sweetest person one could have. She was a darling

Drew's Rostock variant
by Ellindsey, published
This is a printer I am currently building based on Johann's amazing Rostock printer.
This design is modified to use Makerslide rail instead of smooth rod and linear bearings. I chose to use Makerslide partly because I found a pile of V-roller bearings at a junkyard for real cheap, but also because I thought the Makerslide would be more rigid and would allow me to hide wiring inside the channel.
This printer is also being designed to be a single self-contanied piece of furniture, with all wiring and electronic components hidden inside it as much as is possible. I intend to eventually equip it with Bluetooth, a SDcard reader, and a full LCD interface so it can print completely stand-alone.
The original version of thie printer didn't work bery well due to structural issues. I don't have access to a CNC mill or laser cutter or any other proper machine tools. I'm basically building this thing by hand with a table saw and power drill. The wooden structural parts for the original version weren't accurate enough, so I've redesigned it to be possible to build without haveing proper machine tools.
The revised version uses 3/8 inch threaded rod to make triangular frames at the top and bottom ends of the printer. The position of the rails can be finely adjusted by turning the nuts on the screws, so you can tweak it until everything is properly lined up after building it. The wooden frame is now reduncant, although I'm still using it to mount secondary parts.

view allMan , you're killing me. I already have all the parts printed out for a rostock, but this thing of yours is too elegant not to build.. Oh well back to printing.
Remixed From
Give a Shout Out
Each drive axis is made from a lenght of Makerslide rail. I'm using three 666mm pieces (cut from a single 2000mm length) but the length could be changed for a larger or smaller print area.
The top ends of the rails each have a 5mm hole drilled in them, and one "railtopblock" part secured to the rail by a 5mm bolt and nut. This bolt also goes through an idler pully built around a 525 bearing. The rail top blocks also have pockets for the upper end travel limit microswitches, and channels for the wiring to those switches and other stuff on the top end.
The three top end blocks are joined to each other with three 3/8" threaded rods and nuts. The "topfoot" part allows you to mount an upper plate to the rods, which is convienent for somewhere to put the extruder drive, filament spool, lights, etc.
The bottom end of each rail has one "railbottomblock" part secured to it with a 5mm bolt and nut. Like the top, the bottom blocks are joined by 3/8" threaded rods, and the "bottomfoot" part lets you secure the rods to the bottom plate.
The rail bottom blocks have four thru holes for #10 bolts, with hexagonal pockets for #10 nuts. The two closer to the rail are to mount the motor blocks, with bolts that can be turned from above to adjust the belt tension. The two further away are for longer #10 bolts to support the plywood plate that supports the print bed. I use springs to support the bed support plate so that the print bed has some give to help prevent motor skips if the print head bumps into the printer part.
The "motormountblock" part has a mounting pattern for the motor, and a pocket for a 525 bearing to support the end of the motor shaft. Two #10 botls attach this block to the rail bottom block and can be turned from above to adjust the belt tension. I also put in slots that can be used to attach grounding wires to the motor face screws if desired.
The rail carriages are each made from one "carriagemid" and two "carriageside" parts. Each carriage side holds two V-groove bearings. Two #6 threaded rods go through the back side of the carriages to join the sides together. The drive belt is pressed through a groove in the carriage mid section, and then one #6 threaded rod and one M3 threaded go through the two sides and the center to join them together. Adjust the nuts until the piece slides smoothly but without any ability to shift sideways or rotate, and then lock-tite all the nuts.
Yes, I'm using a mixture of english and metric hardware. It's hard to find metric hardware around here, so I use english unless I specifically need to use a metric part.
The M3 threaded rod also goes through the two connecting rods on each carriage. The connecting rods are made from Traxxis rod ends and carbon fiber tubes.
The "headmainbody" part holds the three M3 threaded rods that secure the other ends of the connecting rods. It also has channels for wires and pockets for LEDs and three 20mm cooling fans. The mini J-head is secured in place with a little triangular wooden piece secured up inside the head main body with three screws. On top of this one "invertedextrudeclamp" and one "tighteningcone" secure the Bowden tube.
The extruder drive is a heavily modified Airtripper, which I'm not really happy with and intend to redesign.
I have stuck the original part from my first attempt in a zip file. I don't recommend using them, the new design works much better.

Man , you're killing me. I already have all the parts printed out for a rostock, but this thing of yours is too elegant not to build.. Oh well back to printing.
I'm working on a variant using makerslide to connect base and top instead of 5/8 threaded rod. I know you said you designed in Autocad feel like posting some design files? ;)
My build got close enough this week for me to start firing up bits and start working with the tuning. It is a 1m high MakerSlide based machine with a hex shaped Misumi frame, 12" heated bed with a 3-point leveling mount. My guess is that with the current rods and carriages it is probably an 11"x11"x18" envelope. With some small changes, I think it could be 12x12x24. While everyone else seems to aim at making everything, I just wanted to see what could be made with a minimum of fabrication with available parts. As soon as I have it all running, I'll post a BOM with detailed instructions and pictures.
I used a modified version of your motormountblock (had to cut out the bearing floor to fit my pulley closer to the slide to prevent clearance issues with my carriages), a modified version of your headmainbody (took off the top 3/8" so I could mount a pneumatic fitting - hope that doesn't come back to bite me) and a newheadclip.
The filament spool rollers and extruder are the only other printed parts I used.
I am finally: > moving stuff around (not yet sure I understand why homing only does short upwards jumps of all stages in sequence or why the motors shut down after 30 seconds of inactivity) > endstops are showing leds but I'm not sure the software is reading them right yet > heating bed (my 12" bed is going to require a dedicated fan for the RAMPS 1.4 fuses as they aren't really happy with 12V and 15A) > cooking cartridge heaters (they like 12V and not 13.8V) > and ringing out my cabling (if you follow all the documentation for the motor's colored lines and what the RAMPS board wants you get motors that just lock in place. If you just do a color-blind 1 for 1 connect across the motor and cable connector pins you get a cable that works. Now I can't even say which document was wrong.)
Hi! Glad you're having good luck so far with your assembly. The homing only doing short jumps is probably an issue with with your endstops, either not working or not being configured properly so that your code is thinking the endstops are already pressed when they aren't.
The motors shutting down after a period of inactivity is a feature of the Marlin firmware. There's a setting you can change in the code to change the timeout period.
The color coding on motor wires varies by manufacturer, so you really do need to meter them out before hooking them up.
And yeah, I'm not surprised the RAMPS board has trouble with a 15A heated bed.
This is probably obvious to everyone, but I have printed headmainbody.stl and with the part in one hand and my hot-end in the other, it looks like the top of the hot-end goes into the round cutout area inside the part. What holds it there?!?
Initially, there was hand-carved wooden block which clamped around the top of the J-head and was mounted to the inside of the headmainbody part. Since then, I have determined that a printed plastic part will work for that piece. I have now uploaded that part as newheadclip.stl. This part presses around the groove on the J-head and is secured into the head main body with three 3mm screws.
What partnr for the traxxis rod ends and what diameter carbon fibre rods?
I used Traxxis 5347 for the rod ends, you can buy them in packs of 12 which is just enough for one printer. You should use 4mm ID carbon fiber tubes, so you can easily use a M4 threaded rod to join the tubes to the rod ends. I used 3.5MM ID tubes and had to drill them out slightly to get the threaded rods to fit, don't do that.
I'm building mine with Misumi rail for the superstructure and MakerSlide for the stages (note that they make 60 degree corner extrusions). A small metric die and tap set should be on your tool wish list as it would be much easier if you tap the M5 holes on the end of the MakerSlide to attach the top and bottom blocks. Your parts are some of the best my poor old MakerBot has made. Until I can get your designs to modify, I'm going to drill two 5mm holes on the back of the blocks to attach them to the extrusion slots on the back of the MakerSlide.
Very impressive work!
Great job Drew. If you run short on MakerSlide parts I can give you some through my MakerShip program.
Nice use of MakerSlide. I have a similar design in progress with MakerSlide that has bearings at every pivot point and full housing design.
Looks like you added a lot of weight to the y-axis by using makerslide rails and 4 bearings plus all the nuts & bolts, I think that is gonna come back and bite you in the ass when you start printing
stick with the LM8UU/smooth rod, it's a proven concept, less is more :)
The weight of the Makerslide itself isn't relevant because it doesn't move. IMHO parts of the printer that don't move should be heavy, that helps with the overall stability. The only real difference in weight is the V-roller bearings versus the linear bearings, and I'm not convinced that's enough to be an issue. I have started printing, and it looks like the only performance problem I'm facing at the moment is due to the flex in the crappy two-part plastic connecting rods, which I'll be replacing with carbon fiber tubes soon.
If we all stuck with proven designs, the Rostock would never exist at all.
Thanks loads for posting - I don't suppose you did all this hard work in OpenScad, did ya?
I've gone with a simpler carriage design, but I'm running into problems and it looks like I'll have to re-think it - I really like yours!
Sorry, I don't know how to use OpenScad yet. I really should learn now that I have a working printer. All my design work was done in AutoCad 2006.
I'm actually redesigning the carriages to have adjustable bearing spacing, which makes them a lot more complicated.
I'll see if I can dig up the original link I found regarding the 3 wheel, offset design using the eccentric nut - that part seems to be working fine for me - I think I overcomplicated my life trying to use Spectra rather than belts! :P

KCC Productions presents Troy Roberts' Nu-Jive
Zinc Bar, New York, June 26, 9 PM
Hailing from the remote location of Perth, West Australia, saxophonist and composer Troy Roberts has won four consecutive Downbeat Jazz Soloist Awards, two consecutive West Australian Music Industry Awards, was the only Australian finalist in the Thelonious Monk International Jazz Saxophone Competition, received his first Grammy Nomination Medal, and has shared the stage with greats such as Sammy Figueroa, James Morrison, Stephen Scott, Slide Hampton, Bobby Sparks, Jeff Hamilton and John Clayton, to name a few.. More recently, Troy represented Australia at Herbie Hancock's launch of the first ever UNESCO International Jazz Day at The UN Assembly Hall, NYC, sharing the stage as part of an international quintet made up of jazz greats Wayne Shorter (US), Richard Bona (Cameroon), Vinnie Colaiuta (US), Zakir Hussain (India), Tineke Postma (Netherlands) and Tarek Yamani (Lebanon). Having been on faculty at The University of Miami for the past 3 years, Troy is currently based in New York, is celebrating his 4th internationally released record as a leader, Nu-Jive (2011), and continues to maintain a busy performance and recording schedule around the globe.
The Music of Troy Roberts' Nu-Jive is an eclectic concoction of soul, funk, R&B, Latin, gospel, Indian classical music, and even glimpses of the 19th century romantic period – all musically glued together by every player's great sense of Jazz etiquette with four outstanding sidemen: Silvano Monasterios, piano, Tim Jago, guitar, Eric England, bass, and David Chiverton, drums.. However, the main concept behind the group is to serve as the meeting place of four great musical minds. "Whilst it's not common to display virtuosity, it's even rarer to be wonderfully creative while doing so. But the rarest of all gifts is to have a unique voice; a sound that is unmistakably your own. Troy Roberts has this gift. He amply demonstrates that it's possible to pay homage to the great tenor players of jazz and still create a fresh approach that leaves the listener always in anticipation of what he'll come up with next." – James Morrison

I have one of these...super annoying how it covers the USB port along the front edge. Only the OEM cable works...and even then just barely. Other cables I have won't stay plugged in. Stopped using it due to this.
Does it cover the camera enough so you can lay it flat on its back? I might get one. Sent from my HTC One XL using Tapatalk 2
Now.. do I get the black or grey version for my HOX..

what drama awaits your Thanksgiving?
My mil went to see my sil in NYC. Leaving us with my bil his wife who are ass holes. And her side show family.
As long as my sil watches her p's and q's with my kids. It should go fine as we pretend to like each other. I'm drinking my way through the whole day.
One a good note I'm hoping to get up and take my 5 yo to hand out dinners.
"I guess that's how the Dollar Tree survives, overcharging for the cock." --GarrettsWorld
I love my nephew but my brother is a sloppy mean drunk who becomes verbally and physically abusive to others when drinking. So everyone has to walk on egg shells so we don't set him off. I don't play that game. If he's being an asshole, I'm the first one to tell him and when he explodes, I'm the first one to call the cops.
So this should be fun.....
The end.

MIL decided that Friday is the right day to move FIL into a nursing home. So, I have to have dinner with MIL, FIL and SIL at my parents' house on FIL's last day of freedom, as it were. We visited the home yesterday and it is awful. I feel awful. LO slept for six hours straight last night for the first time in four months and I was lying awake worrying about FIL. Also, he doesn't really know who any of us are anymore (not even DH) so tomorrow will be really strange, to say the least.
They are not usually into drama, but I have to give it to MIL on this one, what a dramatic choice!
mom 3 times over since 2006
One if my friends got a divorce. The ex-wife lives with his parents and he's bringing his gf (reason for divorce) to thanksgiving...

Cool. The guy that runs IH8MUD.com was supposed to be there too. Nice guy.
I almost bought one of the new Trail Teams FJs. After driving one, they would take some getting used to the way they are laid-out. Plus I didn't really care to lose the utility of having the pickup bed. |

They are dishonest! by Kapua - 01/10/2008
I lost some belongings in one of thier cabs. I called and the Cab driver never reported my lost items! They didnt prosecute or investigate him either!
DO NOT USE THIS CAB COMPANY!! by Eyedoc - 11/19/2007
I have absolutely nothing good to say about my first and LAST experience with this company! When i called for a cab on a Sunday afternoon to go from my house to the Red Rock Casino so I could pick up my car, I was quoted a time of 10-30min for pick up. Well an hour and a half and 4 phone calls inquiring as to when the cab was actually going to show up later, one finally did! The ride was fine enough, but when we payed and didn't leave a tip (which we told the driver when we payed that we weren't tipping much because of how long we had to wait), the driver proceeded to scream and cuss us out at the top of his voice and then threatened to run us over! So I repeat, DO NOT USE THIS CAB COMPANY!

ArchivePatriarch Irineos dismissed
The Greek Orthodox Church Synod, the church's highest decision-making body in the Holy Land, has dismissed Patriarch Irineos I over his alleged role in a land deal that angered Palestinian Christians, church officials said.
 06 May 2005 19:55 GMT Irineos is seen here in Jerusalem in April The patriarch has been under attack over a deal in which church property in Jerusalem was leased to a Jewish group. Such land transactions, while legal, are politically explosive because Palestinians see them as abetting Jews in their efforts to expand their presence in occupied east Jerusalem. Palestinians consider that sector of the city as capital of their future state, while Jews claim the entire city as their eternal capital. The church leadership announced on Thursday it was ending all contact with Irineos because of corruption suspicions and considers him dismissed. That decision, however, was non-binding. In their statement on Thursday, the rebel clergy accused Irineos of being "incorrigibly caught up in a syndrome of lying, religious distortion, degradation of the patriarchate's role, and irresponsible mishandling of patriarchate property". Official confirmation On Friday, the Synod officially endorsed the position and Irineos left the patriarchy, church spokesman Attalah Hanah said. "We decided to fire him and he left today and we don't know where he went," Hanah said. Irineos, who has denied the allegations, had been under pressure to resign since March when an Israeli newspaper reported that the church had leased property, including two hotels, to an Israeli firm. The sales would bolster the Jewish presence in east Jerusalem, a traditionally Arab quarter. Whereabouts unknown Palestinian officials said the church leaders were meeting to begin the process of electing a new patriarch. "We know that a majority of the Holy Synod met today and decided to dismiss the patriarch and according to the law they have the right to do so," said Emil Jarjour, who heads a Palestinian ministerial committee investigating the land deal. A Palestinian Christian holds up a banner calling for his resignation"Now they are taking the necessary steps to conduct elections in the near future to choose a new patriarch," he said. It was not clear where Irineos went after the Synod meeting. Church officials said he left with an escort of Israeli police, however police denied this. At a rare news conference last month, Irineos said he was unaware of the alleged transactions and said he was not involved in any deal that reportedly was signed by Nikos Papadimas, the church financial officer who vanished three months ago. Papadimas is wanted in Greece after Greek Orthodox Church officials in Athens accused him of fleeing with $800,000 in church funds. His wife is wanted on separate charges of money-laundering. Separately, a European arrest warrant has been issued for Papadimas, Greek officials said. Source: Agencies

The Bottom Line on Bad Customer Data
The Bottom Line on Bad Customer Data
Baseline Consulting
Written By:
(Originally Published On:)
You can blame your sales people all you want, but if the lead data is bad, they're not going to bring in business. You can blame your product managers for ineffective promotions, but if the target lists are redundant, the pitches fall on deaf ears. You can blame your customer service representatives for low satisfaction scores, but if customer data is missing, then no wonder the complaint resolution pipeline is backed up. Think it's your customer resource management (CRM) system? Think again. It's bad data, and it's costing you millions. Request your copy of The Bottom Line on Bad Customer Data that delivers detailed advice from Jill Dyche, partner and co-founder of Baseline Consulting, about what you can do to address the impact of bad data on your company. The report gives you insight into how bad data is impacting your company and what you can do about it. How to identify where the bad data is and quantify its impact, and different approaches to determine the sources and causes of bad data are all offered in this paper.
