I was at my favorite watering hole, Jax, tonight. As luck would have it, the brewer of Dogfish Head beers, Sam, wandered in. The Orlando distributor of Dogfish Head was taking him to the top retail location (Big C Liqours) and the top bar location (Jax) for Dogfish Head sales on what could only be described as a Dogfish whirlwind tour. OK, maybe it was more like a visit, but I was happy to meet the brewer of some of the finest beers going.
I was even more pleased when Sam offered to buy Julie and I a couple brand spanking new Midas Touch Magic Elixir's. I told him I couldn't pass up a free beer, especially one of his fine brews (jesus, I hope I didn't sound like a suck ass). The Midas Touch is a very smooth beer for a 9% beer. It was sweet enough to cut the heavy alcohol taste normally associated with high percentage beers, but wasn't too sweet.
So far, I've had all the Dogfish Head's with the exception of the seasonals and those you hard to get offerings. I have yet to be dissapointed. Sam, keep up the good work!

The simplest way to side step a rut is to look outside of yourself. Help someone and in turn you will help yourself.
I bet you didn't think to set a daily goal today did you? That's alright, its not too late!
Not only will you enjoy the themes of positivity, triumph, hard work, and unbridled teamwork...they also have phenomenal sound tracks that you can jam out to for a continued mood boost throughout the week.
They say Spring is a good time to start growing and digging, so perhaps we can give it a shot and apply the principles of garden design/care to our daily lives to manage stress and achieve happiness!
Not only do we love the down to earth feel, but we love their commitment to making healthy choices "fun" and "cool" for our community...
Some personal development starting with the words you use to describe yourself can...
We love good music....And who doesn't love summer. Rooftop toasts, lounging with pals, bursts of laughter and whimsical adventures all made better when combined with good souls and sweet sounds.
Whether you consider yourself artistic or not, drawing and doodling has a variety of health benefits. Not only is it a form of expression and communication, drawing favors concentration and can help you focus!
It is officially 1 month into the New Year. Are you still rockin' your resolution?
Unfollow friends that lack an artistic eye, and clean up my viewing experience a bit, or simply give in...
A team is strong because of the sum of the individuals, so some light should be shed on how to better yourself in order to strengthen your team.
We all find ourselves in a rut sometimes. Maybe you're at work and just need that little extra boost, or maybe you could just use some good tunes to better your mood!
Often when we think about our goals, we perhaps might scale them back thinking our initial dreams are too lofty and unattainable. But do me a favor; identify something you are dying to achieve in the next 3 years... and then ask yourself "Why not me?"
Like Radio Raheem tells in The Story of Life, there is a constant battle happening in society and inside each of us individually.
Essentially everything in life is a remix if you think about it....buildings, books, cars, sneakers, you name it! Even us!

BCBGMAXAZRIA Women's Rio Red Rib Knit Sweater
This cheerful sweater is guaranteed to brighten up your day as well as keeping you warm and looking great.
The BCBGMAXAZRIA fashion house, the creation of famed French designer Max Azria has brought the style and flair of European fashion to America. The name of the company comes from the French, "bon chic, bon genre," a slang phrase which translates roughly as "good style, good attitude" and that is exactly what Monsieur Azria has brought to modern US women.
Finally sophisticated, high quality, contemporary designs are available at accessible prices for everyday people. French fashion is always at the cutting edge, but unfortunately way out of the price range of most of us, but BCBGMAXAZRIA has brought the elegance and innovation of the latest styles and trends of Europe to within our budget.
This casual, yet intrinsically elegant sweater is made from a soft, warm, figure hugging wool mix, which will caress your body making you feel relaxed and radiant. "Rio" red is the color, and the bright vibrant shade indeed invokes images of the colorful Brazilian festival. The slash cut boat neckline is perfect for showcasing your long, elegant neck and also looks great with an accompanying neck scarf, a multicolored bandanna would look fantastic.
With drop shoulders, long sleeves and an asymmetrical hem, the design is simple but stunning and the overall appeal of this unique sweater is enhanced by the unusual bias rib knit pattern.
You can not help but have a "good attitude" when clad in such "good style"

It shows a good revenue growth over the years and expecting 3.3Bn for the year ending 2016/17. Also profitability is expected to be moderately higher compared to the last year's normalized PAT.
The merger with Bartleet Finance has made Orient Finance a strong second tier Finance company. Their loan book growth was really interesting with a growth of over 16% after the merger. By looking at the expected equity I think the requirement for a rights issue too not so near.
In terms of valuation following summery can be made available.
Based on industry PE the price will be 13.7 (based on 2016/17 earnings)
based on industry PBV the price will be 19.0 (based on 2016/17 estimated NAV)
The average price turn out to be 16.4 and the current price of Rs11.3 seems to be a at a discount of 30% from the real value. Therefore this share has further potential to go up in the short term. Also sometimes we could expect a dividend too.
Posted 6 months ago when trading @ 11.3. Now the stock is proving the value of this analysis. Closing in to the fair value. Especially I did this for GB and hopefully GB is pumped up now.
Targets set six months ago achieved today finally.
Yes BW as usual your target achieved ( we achieved our financial targets, Thanks again BW)

NC School Choice is seeing another boom.
Last month, 29 new charter school applications were received and are under review to open in the 2019-2020 school year. View the new Applications.
In the prior year there were 40 such applications and 12 were recommended to the State Board.
In 2014, 46 applications were reviewed with 26 receiving final approval. 23 charter schools were approved in 2013. View the history of charter school applications in NC.
Of the 31 total applications put forth for 2018, Mecklenburg county had the most entries with 7. Wake county came in second with 4.
173 charter schools are currently in operation with 20 more charter schools already approved and slated to open in 2018-19. Once open, there will be a total of 193 charter schools operating in the state.
According to the Office of Charter Schools, the number of students in charter schools has doubled over the last five years. There are roughly 89,000 students in NC Public Charter schools. That's around 5.8% of the total number of students who attend public schools in the state, which was around 1.5 million last year and includes charter attendance.
NC School Choice – Charter Process
The NC Office of Charter Schools will ensure the applications are complete before sending them on to the Charter School Advisory Board (CSAB).
A detailed review of each application will be made by the CSAB before making recommendations to the State Board of Education.
All charter school applicants are required to provide a detailed description of the school's mission and how they expect to accomplish that mission.
The cost of each charter school application is a non-refundable $1,000. Each group applying must run a criminal background check on their board members.
NC School Choice – Facts vs Media Spin
"Why NC charter schools are richer and whiter."
That is the title of the News and Observer's recent article on the NC charter system, which amounts to a thinly veiled attempt to smear charter school families as segregationist – i.e, racist.
The News and Observer put three reporters on this story. Let's cut through the spin.
Charter schools in the state of North Carolina are public schools. Contrary to the continued attempt to paint NC charter schools attendees and their families as being pro-segregation, it is important to understand that anyone can apply and enroll in one. In short, the families pick the school.
If demand exceeds available open slots at a charter, which happens in many cases, a lottery system is then employed. There is no barrier to entry other than demand exceeding available openings.
The media often forget to look at the poverty make-up of the state and the placement of the charter schools. Charters operate in only roughly 59 of the state's 100 counties. Most charters are close to urban areas or in suburbs just outside of one. Demand is higher there, so that's where charters end up opening. There are virtually no charter schools in poorer, rural areas of the state.
The N&O's neatly presented data graphs really don't make their case very well. I particularly liked the one on 'racial demographics' which showed a constant decline in white attendees and an increase in minorities over the last four years. Also not taken into account are the rise in the level of minority students statewide.
Also hindering the 'white and rich' theme, the article runs only images of minority kids in charter schools and relies on a five year old study that came out before NC's charter school boom.
In addition, the article's statistics do not offer any evidence that the 'majority of white students' attending charter schools are wealthy. The writers simply state that 1 in 3 children in charter schools are from low-income backgrounds. The writers therefore make the assumption that the other 2 children must be rich.
NC School Choice – Money, Money, Money
What the N&O article does get right, yet fails to really explore, is that Charter schools are getting the short end of the stick when it comes to funding. There is a big funding gap. The average charter school in North Carolina receives close to $1,100 less per student than their traditional counterparts.
Despite that funding gap, Charters have outperformed their traditional counterparts on state tests pretty consistently. For those truly interested, look at the most recent drill down and state testing data and the historical data provided by the Department of Public Instruction.
Charter schools have consistently had a greater percentage of A and B ranked schools. Date recently released shows that 43.5% of charters ranked A or B and traditional public schools had only 35.2%. Charters a slightly higher percentage of D and F schools (25.2%) than their traditional counterparts (22.5%).
Charters are leaner, have more teaching flexibility and are run more efficiently with a focus on education instead of administrative bloat. At last check, around 54% of traditional public schools staff were actually educators. Compare that to 65% at charter schools.
The tired and hackneyed excuse that either meals or transportation is a barrier to entry needs to be examined.
The majority of Charter schools do not receive capital outlay funds for transportation nor do they receive county-funded debt service payments like traditional public schools do. Charter parents are responsible for transporting their children to and from the school. Irregardless of race, for many families who want to attend, transportation could be a factor but there's never been any evidence that supports that.
Former Wake County Schools Chair, Tom Benton, is quoted by the N&O. Benton stops just sort of calling parents who want to choose the best educational experience for their child a bunch of racists.
"Charters have opened the doors to us resegregating our schools," he said. "At some point, I think we need to have a serious public policy debate about how do we weigh this thing of parental choice, when parental choice allows us to resegregate our schools." (Source: News and Observer)
Benton's remarks are the same type of lazy, political and ideological driven rhetoric that was displayed in a Duke University report on the Opportunity Scholarship program. A report that was thoroughly debunked.
This all begs the question, if official like Benton are so worried about 'resegregation', then where are his cries for closing the funding gap? How about capital outlay for transportation? The same questions can be posed to the three writers at the News and Observer.
What's interesting is that the News and Observer article does not really pursue the transportation angle, yet their past reporting by the outlet had a 'pro-busing for diversity' flavor.
More NC School Choice Stats
Homeschooling is continuing to boom as well. In 2016-17, there were 127,847 students and the total number of registered homeschools was 80,973.
The year prior, homeschooling students totaled 118,268 in a total of 74,653 registered homeschools.
In 2016-17, Wake county continued to have the largest number of homeschools (7,401) and homeschool students (11,972) of any district in the state.
NC School choice also includes a number of private schools. Total enrollment in 2016-17 was 100,585. Almost 70% of private schools in the state are religious based. Attendees based by sex are nearly evenly split.
This time, Mecklenburg county leads, with 18,506 private school students. Wake county is not far behind with 17,557. No other district even comes close to Mecklenburg or Wake's private school enrollment.
Private school attendance in 2015-16 totaled 97,721. Both Mecklenburg county (18,524) and Wake county (17,240) vastly outstripped other districts in private school enrollment that year as well .
Many of those attending private schools in North Carolina do so because of the Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP). The OSP grants students a scholarship of up to $4,200 to use at the school of their choice.
[Related: African-American NCGA Democrats Support School Choice]
Students and their families must meet certain income restrictions and other requirements to be eligible for the program. Students need to meet all of the following criteria:
- Be a resident of North Carolina
- Live in a household that meets the Income Eligibility Guidelines established by the
Opportunity Scholarship Program;
- Enroll in a participating nonpublic school in North Carolina;
- Not have a high school diploma;
- Be 5 on or before August 31 of the Scholarship year;
- Be younger than 22 as of the date of the beginning of the Semester.
Students also have to meet at least one of the following additional requirements:
- Have received Opportunity Scholarship funds during the previous school year;
- Be assigned to and attend a North Carolina public school or a Department of Defense school
located in North Carolina for the full prior spring semester;
- Have a parent or guardian on full-time active military duty;
- Will be entering kindergarten or the first grade; or
- Is a foster child; or
- 6. Has been adopted within the last year.
The program has endured and it's popularity has increased since its inception. In 2014, there were 5,558 applicants. In 2017, that number almost doubled to 10,577 applicants. The number of new applicants has grown each year as well.
Continued attempts to kill the OSP program have failed. Everything from lawsuits to false claims such as the program 'steals money' from public schools. No suit to date has yet been successful in halting the program.
[Related: PEFNC Corrects Duke Scholarship Program Report]
As a point of fact, the OSP has its own set of funding administered by the North Carolina State Education Assistance Authority (NCSEAA). The OPS does not take a dime away from the public education budget.
The bottom line is that parents want choice. And they want more of it. This is not just true of North Carolina – this is nationwide. For now, our state is answering the call and NC School Choice is definitely thriving.

La Cruz Makes Cuban History in FinalOlympics 18/08/2016, 0 Comment
Olympic Light Heavyweight Gold Medal Bout – Julio Cesar La Cruz v Adilbek Niyazymbetov. – In the final bout of the exciting Light Heavyweight tournament, Cuba's outstanding Julio Cesar La Cruz faces off against equally talented Adilbek Niyazymbetov of Kazakhstan to compete for top Olympic honours. The pair know each other well having faced off twice prior to this bout in two world championship finals, both times the hands of the Cuban being raised.
We got underway in the final with La Cruz ceding the centre to Niyazymbetov, allowing the more reluctant front foot fighter to take the lead. The Kazakh could not get past the crisp and accurate jab of the Cuban who timed it with perfection, beating the Kazakh to the punch. As he danced around the perimeter of the ring, the Cuban fired single straight punches at Niyazymbetov's face as the Kazakh was made to miss. The Kazakh found it difficult to pin his opponent down in the first and the judges awarded the round 10-9 to the Cuban.
Into the second round, the crowd encouraged Niyazymbetov who's opponent was strutting around the ring with his gloves by his waist. La Cruz kept the pace slow, suiting him, commanding the distance and counter punching the Kazakh's offence. Niyazymbetov remained on the front foot but for the majority of the second seemed hypnotised by La Cruz and unable to adjust to find success. La Cruz was maestro in the second, displaying in the final moments why he is so difficult to defeat as he landed a punch on the Kazakh, evaded his counter and hitting him one more time with a quick left jab before the Kazakh's glove had returned to his guard. The judges scored it a second 10-9 round across the board for the Cuban who was well on his way to winning Olympic gold.
The final round of the bout began with the Cuban keeping distance between the two whilst on the move as Niyazymbetov remained unable to land any thing effective. Little had changed by the middle of the round as the highly skilled La Cruz slipped and slid his way around the ring as he cruised towards victory. Niyazymbetov threw his best shot of the bout but only to have it blocked by a glove moved swiftly into guard and countered by the other. La Cruz landed a final left hand in the last moments of the bout and became Cuba's first Olympic Light Heavyweight champion.
The illustrious Julio Cesar La Cruz was beaming as the referee raised his hands, the three time world championship gold medallist added Olympic Gold to his collection and cements his name in the annals of Cuban amateur boxing. He boxed exceptionally well with his feet and hands, barely being touched by a punch throughout the tournament.
Cuba have now won an Olympic gold medal in every single weight category of the competition. A truly impressive achievement is unique amongst the games.

Arguing for child custody can be quite a bit more difficult than it sounds. Very often, a parent's grounds for requesting custody are irrelevant in the eyes of the family court. The family courts have historically awarded child custody based on a "best interest" model. Fortunately, parents may also be able to use this model to support their case for child custody.
The best interest model generally accepted by most family courts considers many factors when determining child custody. One of the main considerations may be which parent has been the primary caretaker. While a stay-at-home parent may not be able to request full custody simply based on their role as primary caretaker, it can help his or her case.
A child's extended family and community involvement are also heavily considered when determining custody. If, for example, one parent spends the majority of their time working, commuting or lives in a different area, a case may be made that their schedule does not lend itself well to nurturing a child's current relationships or community involvement.
Home environment and stability are also heavily considered when determining child custody. One parent's erratic schedule may be grounds for arguing a change or modification in custody. In the event a child is older, they may also be able to express their wishes to a family court. If an older child experiences a struggle with one parent's lifestyle, schedule or other family members, they may be able to offer additional evidence as to why a change in custody is necessary.
Barring any major issues like physical abuse, drug or alcohol use, or mental or physical limitations, an argument for custody may still be made by offering evidence that supports the family court's best interest of the child model. Working with a family law attorney may be able to better help parents organize and deliver a convincing and supported argument for child custody.

Hollywood Enigma: Dana Andrews
by Carl Rollyson
From the Author:
Dana Andrews (1909-1992) worked with distinguished directors such as John Ford, Lewis Milestone, Otto Preminger, Fritz Lang, William Wyler, William A. Wellman, Mervyn Le Roy, Jean Renoir, and Elia Kazan. He played romantic leads alongside the great beauties of the modern screen, including Joan Crawford, Elizabeth Taylor, Greer Garson, Merle Oberon, Linda Darnell, Susan Hayward, Maureen O'Hara, and most important of all, Gene Tierney, with whom he did five films. Retrospectives of his work often elicit high praise for an underrated actor, a master of the minimalist style. His image personified the "male mask" of the 1940s in classic films such as Laura, Fallen Angel, and Where the Sidewalk Ends, in which he played the "masculine ideal of steely impassivity." No comprehensive discussion of film noir can neglect his performances. He was an "actor's actor."
Here at last is the complete story of a great actor, his difficult struggle to overcome alcoholism while enjoying the accolades of his contemporaries, a successful term as president of the Screen Actors Guild, and the love of family and friends that never deserted him. Based on diaries, letters, home movies, and other documents, this biography explores the mystery of a poor boy from Texas who made his Hollywood dream come true even as he sought a life apart from the limelight and the backbiting of contemporaries jockeying for prizes and prestige. Called "one of nature's noblemen" by his fellow actor Norman Lloyd, Dana Andrews emerges from Hollywood Enigma as an admirable American success story, fighting his inner demons and ultimately winning.

The Long Dusty Trail (Birth of an Outlaw)
Part Three in the Trilogy
by Mel Adkins
From the Author:
This is the third and final book in the 'Long Dusty Trail' series. It brings to an end the struggle of one families determination to build a cattle empire in the foot hills of the southern Rocky Mountains. Rustlers, thieves, bandits, and Indans have plagued the "Flying C Ranch" both on the long dusty trail from Kansas City with the first herd of Herefords, to the sensless killing of Bob Glasgow on his front porch.
"Slim Randles" western author and currently a syndicated columnist of "Home Country"says; "Mel Adkins writing is right up there with Louis L' Amour's and this is an amazing saga of a fascinating ranch family set in the majesty of the West in the 1880's A real page turner."

An oilseed that can grow in arid portions of Eastern Washington could one day supply fuel for commercial and military aircraft, power Navy ships and give livestock an important heart-healthy nutrient.
Camelina, a member of the mustard family, produces an oil that shows so much promise as an aviation biofuel that 14 major airlines have an agreement with a Seattle-based company to buy up to 750 million gallons of the fuel.
Airline and aircraft manufacturers that are part of the Airline Transportation Action Group have committed by 2015 to making biofuels 1 percent -- about 500 million to 600 million gallons -- of their annual fuel consumption, a Boeing executive said in February at a clean energy conference in Kennewick.
The Air Force and Navy also have contracts with a biofuels company to supply it with camelina-based fuel for aircraft and ships

چکیده انگلیسی
This paper examines differences in welfare implications between a free trade area (FTA) and a customs union (CU) for member countries differing in their market sizes. In a stylized three-country model of trade under oligopoly, we take into account the conditions that FTA members set external tariffs to induce their exporting firms to comply with rules of origin (ROO) within the trade bloc. This approach rules out trade deflection and regime switches in forming an effective FTA. The key findings are as follows: (i) Unless the difference in market size is too large and ROO are too restrictive, an FTA can be welfare-improving to countries with market size differential. (ii) The formation of a preferential trade agreement (either an FTA or a CU) is more likely to emerge between countries of similar market size. However, forming a CU allows for a greater degree of market size asymmetry than forming an FTA. (iii) Compared to the pre-PTA equilibrium, the greater reductions in external tariffs under an FTA than under a CU remain valid even for the case with market size asymmetry and preferential ROO. As such, a non-member country is relatively better off under an FTA. (iv) World welfare is higher under an FTA than under a CU when the market size asymmetry is moderate and ROO are less restrictive.

What I've Done is a track off Linkin Park's Minutes to Midnight album and released as its first single. It is also included in Transformers: The Album, the soundtrack to the Transformers movie directed by Michael Bay starring Shia LaBeouf.
A live version – as performed in Milton Keynes, Buckinghamshire, England – is included in the band's live album, Road To Revolution: Live At Milton Keynes.
I've seen three versions of the video: the official music video (the slightly altered version posted on their label's YouTube channel has a title page) and live performances in Red Square and Rio+Social. Both of these live versions do not sound as "heavy" as the original. The Rio+Social version features a short keyboard intro.
Wikipedia lists another version of the music video made for Australia. When I see an official source, I'll post it here.

You just didn't know it. Consider this: Besides writing the Expedia (Dot Com!) jingle and "Stay Home"–the first track on the 2.4 million-selling Shrek motion picture soundtrack–Mahaffey played the organ on Beck's most recent acclaimed album Morning Phase and he's currently scoring Disney Junior's popular cartoon Henry Hugglemonster. His fans, however, know him best for a string of albums he released as Self, beginning with 1995′s major-label cult classic Subliminal Plastic Motives where he unveiled his signature sound–a hook-laden, head-nodding blend of beats, samples, rock guitars, and all-around pop mastery. He continued to refine his sound over three additional LPs, ending with 2000′s fantastic Gizmodgery which was recorded only using toy instruments and featured the single "Trunk Fulla Amps." Last month, Mahaffey released the Super Fake Nice EP–the first music he's put out as sElf in 14 years. Lead single "Runaway" is exactly the type of bright-shining, earwarming pop gem that is bound to delight his old fans and earn him plenty of new ones. HIP Video Promo is extremely pleased to present the clever, viral-bound clip for "Runaway." Click here for sElf's full artist page.

Think Ominos is a timeless puzzle that has been around for a number of years. The concept and challenge of the game is quite simple. All you need to do is to position the 6 hex-shaped pieces in the tray provided.
The problem is you have to join the spots on the pieces by matching the color. There are 6 colors of spots on each hex which are arranged differently. I was able to solve the puzzle in 20 minutes by placing the hex in the top position while systematically trying the other pieces.
Once you encounter a problem, there is an immediate solution to it. However, I have yet to find out if there is more than one solution. It is a challenging puzzle that is easy to understand.
This game can be enjoyed by people of all ages. This puzzle is available for purchase at Amazon.

Color Ink being wasted in Print Greyscale mode.
Subject description: Color Ink being waster in Print Grescale mode.
I never bought in to the nearly free printer but it sucks expensive ink all the time scam. My Laser printer is non functional and until I do fix it I'm using this HP Deskjet 8610. Now, I understand that the printer is shipped with special carts that have just enough ink to get you going. So I went in a bought a large B/W cart and I thought I was ok. Then the printer informed me it wasn't able to print because the blue ink had all run out. I double checked and I have the printer default set to greyscale in CUPs. Then the Yellow cart went dry and I'm waiting for the red one to crap out.
How in #$#&$ do you set a stupid printer to print B/W not gush out color ink and the B/W ink? I can't believe how POed this makes me.

Post subject: Ink Jet Printers
Subject description: Ink cartridges always run out when you need them
I got so frustrated with HP and Canon ink jet printers and integrated ink jets with scanners. The cartridges could be full and hardly used but on the occasions I needed to print something it would not - I guess there is also a date cut out. It was infuriating when this happened, especially when I had to print something like aircraft boarding passes. I wasted many a happy hour trying various codes to get printers into a mode where I could reset the beast and trick it into printing again. The other matter was that on some of my previous units, when the printer would not print it would also not scan - how daft is that?
Anyhow, I acquired an old laser black and white printer and that works fine and if I need to I can push some more toner into the thing. And I also resurrected a very old separate usb scanner and that, obviously, never suffers from a ink problem. Another solution is to get a very old ink jet printer where manufactures tricks are not so well developed and for which you can get cheap non OEM refills.

I've printed countless pages on this old Laserjet 4 printers. Montly Newsletters TONS of stuff and its been near nil to keep it happy with toner and one drum. Now the power supply is gone and I was ALL too close to putting it on the curb.
This "racket" these printer places have going is just obscene. It makes me want to drop kick this money pit. And cheap? As in cheap ass junk. Its built like its a kids easybake oven or some such crap.
The computer industry is taking its lessons from car places that never built a car that didn't rust away into scrap *Until this Truck I saw advertised just a while ago. Who wants to bet those trucks stay on the road forever?
How do they get away with wasting the color ink when printing b/w? Tell me it ain't so. And this "chip" crap for refilling ink with "genuine" ink and warranty violations etc. How stupid do they think we are? I know I'm pretty stupid but I sure as hell don't like getting ripped off.

For anyone following the thread I had a long talk with customer support. I'm informed that color ink is always used even when printing black and white. That the cartridges come with aprox the same amount of in each cart so when my standard b/w cart went empty and the color ones were close behind it appears it uses all 4 at equal amounts. This is because not printing a color gums up the print head. So... They tried to give me 15% off an order for new ink. Then tried to sign me up where they mail ink to me based on how many pages I print at a "reduced price"
Last it was suggested I use "Draft" mode to use less ink and to slow down the printing speed.
My conclusion. This is a complete and total rip off on every level. I think by the way the printer is built it will fall apart in a couple years where I will gladly drop kick it into the trash. The Electronic Freedom folks have talked the printer places into allowing outside or refilled ink cartridges to be used but they cancel your warranty. SIGH... *Plus you have to find the secret menu to turn off the alerts and warnings that non corporate ink has been detected.
After getting into Puppy linux I knew that software like Windows 10 is just crap designed to make money. Hardware is clearly on the same path. I so hope someone comes out with a printer designed to print pages at low cost but that can't happen?
I'm Investing in a new OLD printer.

text: I was born and raised in Washington State and I have lived in almost every quadrant of the state. From Seattle, to Spokane, to Tonasket, and now currently in Yakima I feel it is safe to say that I am a Washingtonian. I have worked with kids ever since I graduated college in different capacities, all the way from pre-K to 12th grade. Throughout my experiences, I have seen so many students and people struggle with the battles of fear in their minds, as have I. I currently have been breaking down the walls of my mind, digging up my past, and healing all the corners of myself. I am on the journey to the center of my true authentic self and learning how to strengthen my self-love. In the "in between" I love hanging out with my fiancé and my springer doodle, Xena, who have both taught me how to open up my heart to give and receive love.

In this week's Leading Behind the Scenes, Marlou Hermsen makes the case (without laughing) that those who wish for a better world should seek to, "CHANGE the world without being a smug twat." If the statement makes you smile, and does not offend, it means you're probably on the right track, because, as Marlou further explains, smugness, besides being a deterrent to team collaboration, is also a creative block. Collaboration is key to success, but when individuals are smug twats, they stifle new ideas and thwart joint ventures.
According to Marlou, there are people who work for worthy causes to personally benefit — via the acquisition of money or notoriety. These types of gains can lead to smugness. Instead of seeking profit, she says, find a purpose. But, how can one not be smug when they have been successful? Easy. Reflect. Celebrate the small steps, but don't lose sight of the big picture. Avoid superficiality. If one remembers that work is never done, the impetus to be smug will diminish.
Despite wanting to change the world for the better, Marlou don't consider herself to be an activist. She says, "The word 'activist' has a stereotypical feel, a negative connotation — it reeks of smug twat, of someone who is an individual, rather than a team contributor. Even though I have spent my whole career actively working towards change, I avoid labeling myself an activist. Instead, I prefer to be called naive."
Naive is the opposite of smug, exactly what we need to succeed. Naive implies that one is not jaded, that one is open to new ideas. Curiosity, drive, and commitment are elements of naiveté. Once a person has become set in their ways, these traits vanish, and smugness takes hold. It's like losing your superpower.
Everyone has a superpower — it's comprised of what you enjoy doing, plus what you are good at. Superpowers are about balance. And balance is the key to being energy-resilient, which is so important when working towards a goal.
Marlou has learned that changing the world does not occur in a straight line. Instead, she notes, it's two steps forward, five steps back, ten steps forward, one step back. As such, it would be easy for a smug twat to lose their balance, and energy, and forgo an opportunity to change the world.

Kourtney Kardashian NOT Demanding Kris Jenner Kick Scott Disick Off Show, Despite Report
A new tabloid report claims Kourtney Kardashian is demanding that her mom, Kris Jenner, kick Scott Disick off "Keeping Up with the Kardashians." Gossip Cop, however, can debunk this story.
An article in the latest issue of Star claims Kardashian was enraged by the recent photos of her ex parading around with multiple women in Europe, and now she wants the momager to cut him from the family payroll. "Kourt told her mom she'll quit the show and ban her from the grandkids if she doesn't kick Scott off," a so-called "source" tells the magazine.
The outlet's dubious insider goes on to contend Kardashian accused her mom of only keeping Disick around to help boost the show's ratings, but Jenner tried explaining to her daughter that she cares about his well-being. "Kris insists that she's just trying to help him with his issues," says the questionable source.
But the magazine's report is entirely inaccurate. In fact, the reason Disick appears on the show so frequently is because Kardashian still spends a lot of time with her ex for the sake of their three children. Despite not still being with the reality star, Disick often joins her family on vacations, and the two work hard at co-parenting their kids together. Regardless, Gossip Cop checked in with a trustworthy source close to the situation, who exclusively assures Kardashian never gave her mother an ultimatum about kicking Disick off the E! series, and the magazine's story is simply "ridiculous."
Of course, Gossip Cop has repeatedly debunked Star's many bogus claims about the Kardashian-Jenner clan. We previously busted the tabloid's ludicrous cover story alleging Jenner and Disick were sleeping together. Before that nonsense, we called out the publication for falsely claiming Jenner was auditioning men to play Kardashian's boyfriend on their reality show. There was no truth to either of those stories, and the same goes for this latest one.

Central to Conrad's work is the idea that there is little difference between so-called civilized people and those described as savages; Heart of Darkness raises important questions about imperialism and racism.
Originally published as a three-part serial story in Blackwood's Magazine, the novella Heart of Darkness has been variously published and translated into many languages. In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Heart of Darkness as the sixty-seventh of the hundred best novels in English of the twentieth century.
An early and primary event is the abandonment of a ship in distress by its crew including the young British seaman Jim. He is publicly censured for this action and the novel follows his later attempts at coming to terms with his past.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Lord Jim 85th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century.
The novel details the undoing of Peter Willems, a disreputable, immoral man who, on the run from a scandal in Makassar, finds refuge in a hidden native village, only to betray his benefactors over lust for the tribal chief's daughter. The story features Conrad's recurring character Tom Lingard, who also appears in Almayer's Folly (1895) and The Rescue (1920), in addition to sharing other characters with those novels. It is considered to be underrated as a work of literature for many. Conrad romanticizes the jungle environment and its inhabitants in a similar style to his "Heart of Darkness".
This novel was adapted for the screen in 1951 by director Carol Reed, featuring Trevor Howard as Willems, Ralph Richardson as Lingard, Robert Morley, and Wendy Hiller.
The work was quoted in T. S. Eliot's The Hollow Men ('Life is very long.').
This book was written in 1896, following a journey that Conrad himself had taken from Bombay to London.
This carefully crafted ebook: "Das Herz der Finsternis / Heart of Darkness - Zweisprachige Ausgabe (Deutsch-Englisch) / Bilingual edition (German-English)" is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. This bilingual edition helps the reader to understand and to interpret Joseph Conrad better, is practical for looking up text passages and very useful for learning and teaching German / English language through classic literature.
- Herz der Finsternis ist eine Erzählung aus dem Jahre 1899 von Joseph Conrad.
Zur Inhalt: Auf der nächtlich an der Themsemündung in Gravesend stillliegenden Seeyacht Nellie erzählt der ehemalige Seemann Marlow seinen vier Freunden, die das Band der See eint, eine Episode aus seinem Leben. Er beschreibt seine Sehnsucht, die letzten weißen Flecken des Globus kennenzulernen, und wie sie nach einigen Mühen dazu führte, dass er Flusskapitän wurde.
Heart of Darkness is a short novel by Joseph Conrad, published in 1899.
Plot: Aboard the Nellie, anchored in the River Thames near Gravesend, England, Charles Marlow tells his fellow sailors about the events that led to his appointment as captain of a river-steamboat for an ivory trading company. He describes his passage on ships to the wilderness to the Company's station down the Congo River in Central Africa.
The novel deals broadly with anarchism, espionage and terrorism. It also deals with exploitation of the vulnerable, particularly in Verloc's relationship with his brother-in-law Stevie, who has an intellectual disability.
The Secret Agent was ranked the 46th best novel of the 20th century by Modern Library.
Because of its terrorism theme, it was noted as "one of the three works of literature most cited in the American media" two weeks after the September 11 attacks.
In 1998, the Modern Library ranked Nostromo 47th on its list of the 100 best English-language novels of the 20th century. F. Scott Fitzgerald said, "I'd rather have written Nostromo than any other novel."
This novel is considered to be one of Conrad's major works and is close in subject matter to The Secret Agent. It is full of cynicism and conflict about the historical failures of revolutionary movements and ideals. Conrad remarks in this book, as well as others, on the irrationality of life, the opacity of character, the unfairness with which suffering is inflicted upon the innocent and poor, and the careless disregard for the lives of those with whom we share existence.
The book's first audience read it after the failed Russian Revolution of 1905. A second audience read it after the Russian Revolutions of 1917, which changed the reader's perception of the author's insight.
Writing to Edward Garnett in 1911, Conrad said « ...in this book I am concerned with nothing but ideas, to the exclusion of everything else ».
Esta obra adelanta, en cierto modo, la temática de «El corazón de las tinieblas»: dos hombres blancos viven cómodamente en un puesto comercial en el interior del África colonizada, hasta que la naturaleza y la vida se despliegan frente a ellos con todo su horror.
La mejor novela corta de uno de los maestros del género, ahora en una nueva traducción.
Las crónicas que conforman este libro repasan las vivencias marítimas de Conrad, primero como marinero en Francia y más adelante en la marina mercante británica. Estos textos componen un vivísimo retrato de la relación entre el hombre y el mar en una época en que la llegada del vapor supuso el fin de la hegemonía de los barcos de vela.
Considerado como el cruce entre un cantar de gesta sobre la navegación a vela y la biblia del oleaje, El espejo del mar es la insuperable reminiscencia de una forma de vida y una obra imprescindible para comprender a su autor.
«Todo el libro es Conrad cien por cien, y, además, el mejor Conrad, el que sabía dibujar un hecho del mar con la más perfecta forma literaria, y el que sabía ilustrar un acontecimiento narrativo con la más acertada imagen marinera.»

Intercropping is a multiple cropping practice that involves the cultivation of two or more crops simultaneously on the same field. In the case of the project, it involves utilising the rows between the trees to grow food crops.
Intercropping or co-planting provides the opportunity for Landowners to expand food gardens by accessing areas utilising biomass infrastructure. It is the intention of the project team to ensure that local villages are able to expand their food and cash crop and traditional operations where possible, with co-planting of food crops to provide the community with increased food security and additional revenue streams where they can take crops to market for additional income.
Trials on co-planting have already been conducted with melons, cucumbers, rice, cassava, yam, peanuts and other food crops that have been highly successful and resulted in additional supply for markets creating additional value and early cash flow for the landowners.

Creative and artistic expression have always played a big role in my life, but my passion for contemporary jewellery I only discovered during the last year of my 3D-Design studies at the University of Portsmouth, UK. After that I specialized in contemporary jewellery at ALCHIMIA - Contemporary Jewellery School in Florence, Italy with Prof. Manfred Bischoff and Prof. Ruudt Peters.
Since 2009 I'm living and working as a contemporary jewellery artist and active member of STOSSIMHIMMEL - Atelier for contemporary jewellery in Vienna.
I find inspiration in things that we can see but are somehow unobtainable, untouchable, unreachable...I feel the need to materialise my inner landscape into my own imagined reality.
In recent years I found that balsa wood, an incredibly lightweight and transformable material, allows me to do this.
My process is very intuitive.
I work directly with the material, with a vague idea in my head. The forms emerge spontaneously while carving the wood. I start with a large block from which I carve a rough form that will then be cut into smaller parts, that will be carved again. Thus my pieces develop simultaneously in small groups. After I create the base in wood, I start applying various paints and materials; layer by layer they grow until they mutate into something else.
The material, for me, is inspiration and challenge at the same time. It is transformed in such a way that it changes completely, until it becomes something else entirely until it becomes jewellery...

UPDATE - The drama is over. Firefox wasn't the culprit - it just looked like it could have been. I'm leaving all the posts for the Forum's amusement - and my final post on here is like a murder mystery story.
-------------------(original post below)------------------
This is a catastrophe, and so far, nothing I'm doing is fixing the problem.
To cut to the chase, the most recent Firefox update, 19.0.2, was installed yesterday. Immediately I lost sound everywhere. Sonar won't function, ARIA won't function in stand alone. (EDIT - I discovered I can play MP3s and video - it's "just" all music production items that no longer work.)
The problem could be rare, directly related to my slightly elderly sound interface, Alesis iO|2. All I know is that I've tried things over and over since yesterday afternoon, and I'm dead in the water.
Very unfortunately, Firefox doesn't offer an easy way to just roll back to a previous version. They purposely prevent you from doing that. So using a restore point on my computer had to be my option - I ran that, going back 2 days. Everything worked fine - for about 2 minutes - then Firefox went through an automatic update, bringing me back to 19.0.2 again.
ARGH! I forgot that I had auto updating checked, did that a long time ago - STUPID - Now I have the option checked to be notified about Firefox updates, and I'll choose to do them or not.
So I needed to do the restore point routine again.-- But it failed. In fact, it's now failed 4 times - none of the restore points work, error message comes up at the end. I've re-booted the computer a million times - nothing's shaking loose.
---I guess I have to do the more drastic thing of finding an older version of Firefox, installing it, and losing all my plug-ins, my layouts,- I have so much customization on this. I'm freaking out.--- Plus, I can't find an actual old version to install -- I see some listings, but I have no idea how to install them - I'm seeing just folders of components, no installer provided.
Something has to work out - But it's The Worst - I was set to do mixing on a new project this weekend. But here I am tearing my hair out over this.
If anyone has any input, it would be much appreciated.

WALL OF HONOR!! You've read about the dog tags and for 2017 and each year going forward, we are taking this idea one step forward. Beginning in 2017, we presented our Wall of Honor. This wall showcases veterans, whose service means so much. We will accept any 8 x 10 photo, bio, any written tribute with or without a photo that you would like to share on our wall. Just another way to say "Thank You" and to honor our military. The Wall of Honor will be on display at our Friday night Expo (Friday, November 16th) and on race day. Contact us for more info; sleeves are $5.00 each.

My latest article for New Scientist is about a new method for mapping the globe:
A new technique for unpeeling the Earth's skin and displaying it on a flat surface provides a fresh perspective on geography, making it possible to create maps that string out the continents for easy comparison, or lump together the world's oceans into one huge mass of water surrounded by coastlines.
"Myriahedral projection" was developed by Jack van Wijk, a computer scientist at the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands.
"The basic idea is surprisingly simple," says van Wijk. His algorithms divide the globe's surface into small polygons that are unfolded into a flat map, just as a cube can be unfolded into six squares.
Cartographers have tried this trick before; van Wijk's innovation is to up the number of polygons from just a few to thousands. He has coined the word "myriahedral" to describe it, a combination of "myriad" with "polyhedron", the name for polygonal 3D shapes.
You'll find the rest at New Scientist, along with some nifty images and video.
