Thanks Eric for the list of tips. This helps out alot. I do think it would be wonder to start a list as you suggested. I know it would be very beneficial to people other than just me
I need to get a gauge that tells me the temp and humidity level for the room my printer is in. Most of the time it stays at about 68 degrees or so.
Also do you suggest turning off the auto clean option?

Yes I have mine off, and I know many others do as well. It puts more responsibility on you, which is a decision only you should make, but it opens up the opportunity to save you a lot of ink

Hi All,
Thanks for the informative blog generated by loads of pain. It is quite overwhelming.
I am recently the victim of a 7900 printer nozzle clog after returning home from a 2 wk vacation. I kept the cost of the vacation to a minimum, driving to New Orleans from South Florida with a buddy sharing expenses. After I arrived home I realized I should have purchased travel insurance for my 7900 printer. My printer is coming up on 2 yrs old and has had very little use, most of it being cleaning cycles and nozzle prints. There has been perhaps 15-20 prints made due to my introduction to digital photography learning curve. I always check the print nozzles and do cleanings as needed. I've contacted Epson supported and although they are very kind they offer no solutions, liquid or otherwise, only the services of overpriced Delusion 1. When I found out the likely cost from Delusion 1, I nearly went into cardiac arrest. Epson has added insult to injury by not allowing me to purchase parts and not giving me access to the Servprog software. I'm willing to fix it myself and am also capable.
I'm very angry with and disappointed in Epson. When I read the brochure about the print quality, I don't recall any warnings about having to be a commercial user or the printer will fail you warning. This is a problem with the printer design and they should fix these without cost as this shouldn't be happening, period.
Does anyone know where I can get parts or the servprog.exe software?

Bob. Sorry about your troubles. Listen I have no idea where you can get the software and I can't offer you any advice about your 7900. But I did just stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, so maybe you should email me - gogo at gotagteam.com

If you have a stubborn "clog" (it could also be a LACK of ink), doing standard cleanings probably won't help you. the x900 series printers DON'T fire the nozzles during the cleaning processes. The cap station covers the head and SUCKS ink out ... several ml's each time. You may need to do a piezo-clean which is only accessible through the service mode.
No idea about the amount of ink used, but this "super-strong" cleaning does fire the nozzles. I've not had to do this myself.
Disclaimer: The following is given for informational purposes only. Entering the Service/Maintenance Modes is not looked upon with grace by Epson. Perform at your own risk. YOU CAN FUBAR your printer in here:
Enter Maintenance Mode 1: Press and hold the Pause button and turn on the Printer.
Arrow down to "SS Cleaning" and press the right arrow.
Press "OK" to Execute.
Definition of SS Cleaning:
SS Cleaning has a strong ultra sonic component. The Piezo Elements internal to the Print Head are used to attempt
to break up pigment particles that may be clogging the interior of the Print Head.
Use SS Cleaning when a Nozzle can not be cleared through normal cleaning.
Note that there is no paired cleaning available with this mode. I think it's much like doing a power clean on the older 9880/9800/4000 series printers.
Also, it's a good idea to do a normal image print between cleaning cycles.
Good luck. I hope this helps!

Thanks Chadd.
I tried the SS cleaning with no success. I'm going to try printing a large area of Cyan (the clogged nozzle). Once again I had a conversation with Epson support regarding my problem to give them another chance to help. There are very pleasant but no help. They say I have a faulty print head. I explained I don't agree. Why did it work before my vacation and fail immediately after. I told them it is a design problem that is Epson's fault and they should develop a work around or replace the head for free. They also said I should buy an extended warranty which I can't now because it isn't working. The extended warranty is very expensive anyway but if I'd have known how problematic this printer was I certainly would have. They will sale me a print head for about $1130 but not allow me to use servprog.exe to align the heads. No point in that. Also, I mentioned I wasn't alone and told of the many problems listed on the luminous-landscape blog. I'm sure they know of it already. I suggested because of the expense of the repair likely reaching 3/4 the purchase price, selling the printer for parts and buying a new one made sense than a repair. They agree. The problem with that I is I wouldn't get much for my barely used printer and the probability of getting the same problem again is high. No matter how you slice it you lose. I haven't given up appealing to Epson's better judgement by writing them.

Sad these days when something that has some design flaws and costs people more money is tolerated. I have been with Epson for years but myself and a devoted Epson friend are thinking of waving Epson goodby. My 7800 was like the old trusty pickup with no problems...my 7900 is alittle more touchy. If I have any head problems it will probably be my last Epson printer I will own. Many people will jump ship I think if Epson leaves them holding the bag. See why class action lawsuits happen. Maybe a collective, signed letter to the upper corporate ranks expressing our concerns and disappointment with the head clogging 900 series printers is in order....BUT doubt it would help since they seem to be deaf to any reimbursement for the "dead heads" Sad. Sad. "Hello HP.... Canon... I would like to order....."

Hi Eric,
Oh Sorry. Thought you were joking because of the hotel comment. Thanks so much. I'll email you. Don't I need some software to calibrate/align the heads?
Incidentally, when I complained about the ridiculous cost of repair, Epson gave me the name of a nearby repair facility that might be less expensive named Byte computer. Just spoke with them and think they are slightly less expensive ($125 to come out and analyze and/or a flat rate of $350 for repair plus the cost of the heads some $1220).
Anyway, I will email you.

If you are comfortable working on your own machine, which it sounds like you are, you need not pay anybody to get your new head installed and printing like it's designed to. Email me and I will help get you and your machine up and running again.

So add another one. I have a barely used, but 2 year old epson 9900 that has had the middle 2/3rds of the cyan nozzle stop working in the last month. I've tried all the "light duty" stuff, nozzle cleanings, spraying hundreds of $$ of ink into the maintenance cartridge, etc. I finally broke down and pulled the head out today to see if there is anything I can do with it. Looking at it under a microscope was not revealing. The good news is that getting the head out isn't all that challenging if you can turn a screwdriver. I'm gonna try a few things to save this head, i figure it's probably a total loss anyways. After that it's either try and source a new head, and the software to "rank" it, or buy a canon. Grrrh. Honestly, if they would have told me that there was maintenance I needed to be doing, I would have been doing it.

Contact LFPTECH on this forum, quick. You may have the best shot yet at fixing your head. Ask him for his cleaning solution, he's got two - one clean and one red. Try the clear first if you have the patience. If not go straight for the red. I have yet to try it. From what he says it's best if your clog is not so old. So maybe you have a chance still. I'd give it a shot if I were you, since you have nothing to lose at this point.
Yes, the heads come out easy. Just be sure not to take the wrong screws out and loosen the carrier for the head as well as the head. Tough to do if you're paying attention, easy to do if you just start unscrewing everything you see. If you do unscrew the carrier it would mean complete manual head alignment. I don't even want to think about that..
I'm sure you didn't do this, I'm just bringing it up for anyone else considering the operation.

I don't want to hijack Eric's thread (like it was even possible by now) but there's is a lot of good and smart people here so maybe someone will be able to help.
Original thread is here
Basically my problem is banding caused by this:
Tried all kinds of cleaning, head adjusting, paper feed adjusting and nothing seems to help. Anyone got any ideas other than damaged head?

So I managed to make mine worse. I'm getting an actual error code now. Honestly, I'm not surprised based on what I could see happening. I wasn't really all that aggressive with the head either when I took it out. So my dilemma is this. I see that I can get a canon ipf8300 for about 2600 bucks right now, vs 1200-1600 for a print head, assorted other parts I may need, and my time to replace it. And there is no guarantee that I will get it right, and I can't send any parts back if they don't work or I have problems. So it's 1500ish bucks and I will probably have a working printer vs 2600 bucks and I get a brand new printer.
One thing that I occasionally do with my epson is print labels for bottles of acetone and methanol. Much to my surprise, the epson ink appears to be completely impervious to either of those chemicals once dry. I wonder if canon's ink is the same way? It's kind of why I think cleaning with things like, soap, water, ammonia, name your solvent here ____ are pretty useless. I'm certainly no chemist, but the ink almost seems to catalyze, kind of like a 2 part paint..
Either way, there is some debate in our office as to whether we fix this, or just bail out now and get a different printer, that is a little more resilient to sitting around. Our shop is a small business that does stuff completely unrelated to high end color printing. We are all photo nuts, and our excuse to buy it was to print large technical drawings. The ability to do awesome color photo printing was a bonus, and I wasn't concerned about the 9900 being slower versus their other models that basically double up the colors with the same heads.
If I had any idea the result of intermittent use was a ruined print head, or if epson had spelled out regular maintenance to be done, I certainly would have done it. I would have least had a print job that exercised all the nozzles set to print once a day. Anyhow, I'm pretty disappointed in epson..
Anyone that owns a large format canon care to dump some methanol on a print? Lol....

Wanted to contact you a bit earlier but decided to read complete thread with videos first.i am glad that i did
I came across your project by accident...i have a couple of 7800's which needed repair to their cartridge chip sensors and that went ok...cost 19 instead of 230$ plus labour by doing myself....ended up pulling out the cleaner blade with a bamboo skewer rather effortlessly despite Epson telling me not to touch it...next minute,i am looking at your 9900 blade which you described eloquently as tiny and i cannot believe that it is servicing a newer printer than mine...it is not a blade but a recipe for disaster as you outlined later in your thread...Epson wanted to be able to blade clean individual channels rather that 8 or 10 channels in one move ..what do they do next...they invent multiple rubber head gaskets on the park station rather that the bigger single gasket that is on my 7800...so we now have 8 seals that can go wrong rather than one and now serviced by a tiny blade more suited to keeping one seal serviced and not 8 or 10 seals..oh..oh..trouble ahead..then i look at your gunk deposits all over the place and i think straight ahead where is that gung going ? I guess you found it for us and was that a thriller to follow....and then i asked myself where did the gung start....and back i head to the cartridge itself for an explanation and its very simple....your problem would never have been a problem had you been able to do your 24" prints from the cart itself....put your Piezo head on top of your cart head and print away...carts can be stored in fridges and last for years they tell us and they are right...the problem starts when we move out of the cart towards paper...
Yes we sure need pigment(k3) to be able to see our lovely photographs and we sure need resin to stick our photos on the wall...and Epson tell us that we need glycerol (surfactant ) to make the pigment and resin be sociable to one another whilst they live together in the cart...ok ? But..but..the one thing we dont need until the last minute is enemy no 1 AIR...but i hear you say we dont get air in the cartridge or the printer ...patience! Wait six months please and lets increase the number of rubber seals from 1 to say 10...now lets invent a blade that is hard to get at to clean ...with a bit of luck some of the resin muck will stick and harden to make a tool like say a chisel...now add some pigment mess and paper dust and wait....we should be lucky with one or two efforts to break a rubber seal somewhere and attack the real prize...the piezo head itself ....sound familiar..now whose really making money? Its not intentional i will readily agree...just bad and overambitious design...
Epson need to offer us a printing device where users are able to clean away with ease and DAILY their resin deposits from a quality blade....dont buy from them until you can see that they have invented a printer where the user knows and sees that there is no resin threats in the system..new or second hand....it has to go wrong otherwise
I live with and without Epson..i go for their inks and cleaning solution...when i dont print (which is often ) i shake my printers on their castor wheel base..very gently and lovingly..they like it.. ....several times a day...that puts manners on the pigment side of the family in the cartridge and printer system..i dont get drop outs !in fairness to Epson they have given me msds on all their inks and cleaner solution and have sold me their cleaner solution as well....they will HAVE TO produce a printer that is RESIN PROOF....btw when i hear guys talking about dehumidifiers i think to myself PATIENCE...theres air somewhere..we just need a bit of time..go get the resin...and a dolop of pigment for good measure..THANKS ERIC AND EVERYBODY ELSE AND ITS GREAT TO SEE The SITE GOT RID OF THE CYBER BULLIES WITH THEIR CYBER EGOS...

Sorry to have missed your post until now Blue moon. You make good points and I love your humor. I am glad all of this work has helped you - great community here.
It's true I have been quiet, but I have also been thinking. I have identified what I think is our greatest enemy considering X900 printhead clogs.
Not the time you have owned yours, or hope to own yours, without experiencing the unclear-able clogs from hell. That time has no bearing. And it's not the amount of time that's passed since your last clog. That doesn't matter either. What time does then? It's the amount of time that passes from the moment your clog forms, to the moment you get to clearing it. THAT is the ever critical "time" that we are all up against owning X900 printers. Get to your clog soon enough and you're fine. Wait too long and you are thoroughly,entirely, screwed.
I don't go out on a limb waving flags of caution often, but I'll do it now. If you print multiple times per week you're likely in the best shape of all considering clog management. But if you don't print multiple times per week, you've GOT to get yourself into the habit of routine maintenance. Run some nonsense print through your machine on plain paper at least twice a week. Better would be three times a week. And once a week, please, run a nozzle check pattern. If you find a clog, clear it right then.
Think of your printer like it's a dog. Maybe a really lazy dog. One you have to walk, and to feed, just not every single day. Maybe every third day. I believe doing this will keep you and your X900 happy.
I believe the best thing anyone could do for all of our X900 users is to create an image that runs each channel individually, specifically, just like a nozzle check pattern does. Only have it print an area large enough to flush the most vulnerable ink sitting right out there in the printhead face. If we ran a print like that twice a week I'll bet clogs could be a thing of the past for all of us.
HAL suggested this a while back. I created a print for everyone to download here but it does not access each channel accurate enough. It does not purge all of the nozzles on all of the channels. I had been running this print that I made through my machine twice a week for a couple of months of no "real" printing and never saw banding or any other problems. Then one day I organized my short stack of routine plain paper cleaning prints and noticed a color shift in some of the prints when I compared the first to the most recent. I did a nozzle check and sure enough I had clogs all over the place. Scared the crap out of me. All of the clogs cleared with ease, thank the lord, but the point was made - I need a new system.
So at this point I am putting out a request. For sure this forum is populated with far greater/wiser/more experienced/more connected X900 users than me. So maybe one of you can step up and flex your network, maybe put some requests out for the development of a routine maintenance doc we can regularly run. In an awesomely optimistic world it would be great if Epson themselves could work something like this into a firmwear upgrade. Perhaps a setting for while you're away - maybe call it "Holiday Mode". Put some cheap roll paper in the machine, set it to Holiday Mode, then fly to Aruba with your girl (or guy) and not a worry to be had. Twice a week the X900 fires an inch or two of ink across the sheet then advances to the next inch in a few days. You come home three weeks later to twenty inches of home made Christmas wrapping paper hanging out the face of your printer, and you have no clogs.
I have been contacted several times behind the scenes of this site by now - no I am not joining any class action lawsuits against Epson. Not my style. But I WILL say this...
...It would sure be nice if Epson gave us a "Holiday Mode".

On the 6 channel wide format Epson models that I used in the past I actually had a small strip with CcMmYK lines running over the entire length of the rolls next to the actual prints. Sometimes you had images where at the end of the image a certain color was needed that was not used at the start and the nozzles were clogged before it reached that point. It was a surprise to see that on the HP Z3100 calibration target similar lines are used and on the profiling targets wider bands at the beginning. The lines and patch colors addressing the 12 channels directly of course. With QTR you can address the Epson printer channels directly too so if something has to be automated it could be QTR for that purpose.

|VT Author Archer Mayor
One of the most surprising things about moving to Vermont was discovering the number of artists, writers, actors, musicians, and other artistic people who live here. They are literally everywhere. Vermont is smaller than tiny (teeny?) but it's brimming with talented folks.
One of the best known is author Archer Mayor , a resident of Townsend, a beautiful village in southern VT. His crime stories have been best sellers for about two decades. Mayor's 19th novel, The Catch, has just been published by St. Martin's Press. Like all his Detective Joe Gunther (the main character) stories, this one also takes place in Vermont but it soon moves to Maine where Joe is in pursuit of two "evil doers" as George Bush would say.
Mayor himself probably would not make a very good character for a novel because he would not be believable - too much of an over achiever! He has been a "scholarly editor, a researcher for TIME-LIFE Books, a political advance-man, a theater photographer, a newspaper writer/editor, a lab technician for Paris-Match Magazine in Paris, France, and a medical illustrator . . . He is also a death investigator for Vermonts Chief Medical Examiner, a deputy for the Windham County Sheriffs Department, and has 25 years experience as a volunteer firefighter and EMT."
Unfortunately there is not much more information about his background except that he grew up in the US, Canada, and France but that just piqued my curiosity even more. It would be interesting to see more details about his family, early life, education, and details about his work experiences.
If you would like to meet him in person, he has a busy calendar of personal appearances this month and next throughout New England and New York. You can see the schedule here. .
On his website is a series of short videos, one of which I found particularly interesting: why he chose to live in Vermont.
Another video I suggest you watch is a humorous story involving doughnuts that took place while he was working as a police officer.

Rated 3.8 out of 5�by 20 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5�by jerry inner bags don't fit Seemed to be well made but when I filled all 4 bags with 10 pounds of sand It was a struggle to get the outer bag zipped with three bags in and with four no matter how I tried to arrange them the outer bag would not even begin to close. There was a 12" gap in the middle. I returned it to the store with no problem and was told that they had had quite a few returns for this reason. Dick's service was excellent as usual. I bought the more expensive on line bag and there was no problem but I had to spend double the price. November 25, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5�by B Day 2 So I purchased this to use this on my hike here in SoCal and on day 2 with 30lbs in it, the seams along the zipper to the end cap of the bag began to let loose. Keep in mind this is just from hiking with it on my shoulders. nothing more. bought it for the versatile handle positions but if the ends dont hold how are the handles going to keep in tact. February 19, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5�by QMCF Great Sandbag Good quality sandbag at a great price. The Good: *Handles provide a comfortable grip *Good quality zipper *Reinforced handles and lining. *Resist rough handling The Bad *Do not overfill the sandbags, read the instructions. Otherwise you will have sand leaking out of the inserts. *Limited to 40 Lbs, increments of 10 lbs each. I used at home and the gym, no issues with sand leaking out of the bag. September 29, 2013
Rated 1 out of 5�by Jester Leaked sand from both the filler bags and the shell itself. This bag only held together for a week or two. Soon after the filler bags started leaking sand and soon after the shell was leaking sand from holes being worn into it. Spend the extra money and get the real deal....the Ultimate Sandbag (I used these at the police academy, along with many cadet classes before mine and they still held up perfectly.) May 9, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by lynn Great Buy This is a great product, and the price is reasonable. I was looking at purchasing a similar bag online, but it was $80, which seemed pretty steep. I've had it for a few months and I had one bag leak a little, but it was because the inner velcro on the bag wasn't fully fastened. I carefully cleaned it and re-sealed it and haven't had a problem since. December 22, 2011
Rated 2 out of 5�by Linda the trainer It's ok I like the the bag, but after using it only twice it the sand was leaking out. October 10, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by Mr.fitbody Great product for a reasonable price! I purchased the sandbag to add a bit of variety for training sessions Bootcamp classes, people really love the versatility of this training aid and for durability if your teaching proper form and technique this product should last you a long time. June 24, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5�by Chick looks like a comic book character Great Value I follow a home workout program that uses a different brand sandbag, but that one was twice the price, came with a DVD that I wouldn't need, *and* it was out of stock online. The only difference with this bag is that there is no central handle, so for one-armed moves, I tie two handles together with another grip so that it's balanced.I love the construction and compact size of this bag. The inner sandbags are also very well-made and I've had no leaks. The grips are very comfortable, and the canvas is smooth and doesn't scrape my arms during clean lifts. I definitely recommend it! August 14, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5�by CazyKatie Great for the price We were very happy with the quality. I did want to warn though that the sandbag they carry in the store is not the same as the one online. This one online has nicer rubberized handles and the overall quality is so much better. July 29, 2011
Rated 4 out of 5�by pokie22 good outer duffle bag, poor inner bag The outer design is almost exactly the same as the ultimate sandbag, with respect to the handles. I choose this bag because it was half the cost of that one [...]. From the few reviews on this bag, it seemed like it was durable and could be able to take abuse. There was one reviewer who commented on the sand leaking out of the inner bags. With this in mind, I filled each bag ~ 80% capacity (35lb total weight) so that there was less chance for sand to come out and made sure that each double velcro sealing was flush. I played with it for 10 mins. Yes, there was sand coming out. The sand was not leaking from the velcro sealings - those were designed well. It is the stitching on each bag that was designed poorly. The stitchings are too wide (1/8''), which allow the sand to flow freely from each inner bag when pressure is applied. Thus, I duct taped the (1) side and bottom of each bad where the stitching was. There is no problem now, and I added more sand to 40lb capacity. This is a great bag for the price if one does not mind some arts and crafts for 10 mins. August 23, 2011

One of the perks of going to class for many students is to see their friends. Yes, yes, they may learn something along the way (yawn), but what really gets students out of bed is to see what's happening with their peers. Now, current online classes are adept at providing all of the content of the class, but very little of the community. I can predict the type of people who do well in online classes: self-motivated, self-disciplined, self-directed learners who actually enjoy reading and writing and sitting quietly on the computer. Discounting yourself, how many students does this describe? What about all of the other students, who for whatever reason opt to take an online class and find the process so grueling that it turns out to be easier to take the class in person?
For online courses to reach their full potential, a course management system must provide options for students to customize their classes. This means students should be able to create an online identity, should be able to create forums for discussions, share files easily, and interact with other members of the class. A class is a community, and online classes are lacking in personal interaction and acceptance of user-generated content outside of text-based discussion posts and assignments.
Online classes are choosing to push course content to students and wash their hands of all other aspects of the traditional classroom. Online communities are flourishing on the web, while the atmosphere of most online classes is deadly. In the online classroom it's all business, and interactions are often cold and formal. The atmosphere is more like a 19th century schoolroom than a modern one. I'm surprised there haven't been riots. Instead, there has just been a widespread rejection of the notion that online classes are comparable to in-person ones. I hope this can change.

Information For:
School of Digital Sciences
Kent State University
236 Math & Computer Science Bldg
Kent, OH 44242-0001
Support the School
In many established departments, generous alumni or friends have contributed over the years to support the teaching and research needs of the department. Typical uses for donations are:
- Departmental Awards: given annually to recognize student achievement.
- Named Scholarships: given to endow a scholarship to support deserving students in their studies.
- Instructional or Research Equipment: given to support the purchase of equipment for academic teaching labs or faculty research.
Since the School of Digital Sciences is still in its infancy, it does not yet have funds available for these very worthy purposes.
Making a donation to the School of Digital Sciences is easy! Kent State University's Ways to Give page describes how to give a gift by check, through an employer matching program (make your gift count even more!), through payroll deduction (Kent State employees only), or as a bequest in the memory of a loved one. Making a donation by credit card is even easier — simply click on "Make your online gift now" on the right.
To directly support the School of Digital Sciences, however, the key is to designate the gift in support of the School.
If you make your gift online by clicking the link on the right, when you reach Step 3 "Designate your GIft", you should select "Let me decide where to designate my gift", then select "Other" at the bottom of the list, and finally, type "School of Digital Sciences" in the box. If you make a gift by check, simply write "For the School of Digital Sciences" in the memo area.
Endowing a Named Scholarship is slightly more complicated, but can be a wonderful way to leave a lasting legacy to benefit deserving students for years to come. If you would like to explore this option, please contact the School of Digital Sciences and we will help you make the arrangements to do this.

Kur Memory Foam Face Rest PadThis contoured temperature sensitive foam face rest pad uses a state of the art, temperature and pressure sensitive viscoelastic foam that supports and conforms to a person's unique facial features. The viscoelastic foam uses millions of tiny cells which conform and support, offering firmer support in cooler areas and a softer support in warmer areas. So soft it feels like floating. Fits any massage table as the Velcro base attaches securely to all head support designs. Includes foam crescent and a removable cover.Material:
I love this face cradle! I read that it could come with a strong odor, I did not find that to be my experience at all. My clients Love it, and I think it will hold up much better than the memory foam face cradle I was using which had an imitation leather surface.
Excellent product and got it for over 50% less than usual price. Like the cover for laundering as well.
My clients are very pleased with the feel and comfort of this face rest!
This face rest is well designed to be comfortable and easy to use. I'm very happy with it.
I'm receiving mixed reviews from my clients on this face rest. Some think it feels too firm. It is more open for the eyes and hopefully not as much pressure on ones sinuses which is why I wanted to try this face rest. Some of my clients really like the openness they experience when using it but it hasn't helped much in preventing sinus congestion as was my hope. Probably wouldn't buy again. Got it at a good price on sale. Glad I didn't have to pay more for it.

Skole wins 400th career game as the Bucs sweep Campbell 13-9
Requires Adobe Flash
Andrew Green
Sunday, May 15, 2011
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (May 14, 2011)
- Sophomore
Andrew Green
(Powell, Tenn.) increased his hit streak to 13-games as the ETSU baseball team completed the sweep of Campbell 13-9 Saturday night giving head coach
Tony Skole
his 400th career victory.
The sweep is the second straight at home as the Bucs (34-17, 15-10 A-Sun) finished the home season with an eight-game home win streak. The 34 wins is the most under Skole, and is also the third most in school history behind the 1980 (39) and 1981 (44) teams.
ETSU posted the second most hits in conference play in 2011 with 18 on the night as senior
Paul Hoilman
(Johnson City, Tenn.) became the first Buccaneer to reach the 300-hit plateau with his single in the seventh. Hoilman went 2-for-5 in the game with an RBI.
Green and
Matthew Scruggs
(Knoxville, Tenn.) led the way offensively for the Bucs as they were both perfect on the night. Green went 4-for-4 at the plate with a game-high four RBI and scored two runs, while Scruggs was 3-for-3 with a homer, scored three runs and drove in two.
Bo Burton
(Kingsport, Tenn.) picked up his third win of the season limiting the Camels (16-35, 2-25 A-Sun) to three runs on six hits with three strikeouts and one walk.
Ryan Koopman suffered his ninth loss of the year for Campbell as he gave up eight runs on nine hits while striking out three with a walk.
The Camels grabbed a lead in the top of the first for the third straight game on a solo home run to right center by Cameron Nelson.
Bo Reeder
(Cookeville, Tenn.) tied the game at 1-all in the bottom half of the frame on an RBI single through the right side of the infield.
In the next inning, the Bucs jumped in front 3-1 on a two-run double by
John Long
(Anderson, S.C.). Later in the inning, Long came around to score on a double Green to make the score 4-1.
Scruggs gave ETSU a 6-1 advantage in the bottom of the third as he sent his tenth home run of the season to left for a two-run homer.
Campbell got the Burton for only the second time in the contest in the fourth and fifth innings as the Camels cut the Buccaneer lead to 6-3 after a solo homer by Josh Holskey and a RBI single by Nelson.
The Bucs exploded for five runs on six hits in the bottom of the fifth to take an eight-run edge. A two-run double by Green highlighted the inning for ETSU.
In the top of the seventh, Campbell added two runs on a Holskey single to right field to make the score 11-5.
ETSU would get the two runs back in the bottom of the seventh as Green singled in his fourth run of the game followed by a Hoilman RBI single.
The Camels went on to add a run in the eighth and three in the ninth to cap the scoring in the contest.
The Bucs return to action on Tuesday at 6 p.m. as they head to Georgia Tech for a non-conference game. For more information on Buccaneer baseball, visit ETSUBucs.com or follow the Bucs on Twitter at

And surely the designs are vintage! Italy might be a country that's home of high-end fashion designers such as Giorgio Armani, Fendi and Dolce & Gabbana yet the women of Italy are looking for wedding gowns from someplace a little even more unanticipated.
Thrifty new brides are visiting Argentinian nun Sister Maria Laura's atelier at the St Rita monastery, a medieval intricate hidden amongst the central Umbrian hillsides, to find their dream gown.
Once came to collect a wedding celebration gown, Sister Maria Laura and her group run a used wedding-dress solution for disadvantaged bride-to-bes.
The abbey was inhabited by St Rita, a mistreated bride-to-be and widow, 600 years earlier. She was wed off by her mom and dad when she was merely 12 to an abusive and fierce partner.
Eighteen years into her marital relationship, her other half was murdered in a bad blood, and St Rita was admitted to the Augustinian convent of St Mary Magdalene.
Females traveled far and wide to come and pray to her for their marriages to be saved.
Ladies began contributing their dresses out of solidarity and as an offering to St Rita back in the 1950s and the collection has actually now totaled up to hundreds.
Seamstress and developer Sister Maria Laura, who entered monastic life when she was 28, now runs the facility and declares she could locate the perfect dress for any type of bride that comes her method.
Sis Maria Laura is seen by around 3 women a week, and between eight and ten per month leave with their dream outfit.
Using her design proficiency, she changes the dresses to make open backs with bows, proposes where to reduce the neck line, and reassembles internal padding to suit the bride.
In return for her solutions, many ladies return their dresses after their wedding event so that another woman can have the same experience as them and some leave around £700 as a token of their recognition, based on The New York Times.It offers me excellent pleasure to view a girl which could meet her long for love with a gown appropriate for the happiest day of her life,' stated Sister Maria Laura.

Women's Golf in Tenth Place After First Two Rounds of Bradford Creek Spring Invitational
Monday, March 11, 2002Johnson City, Tenn.

UNC-Wilmington leads the tournament by one stroke over host East Carolina, after shooting a combined 614 on Monday. Leading the Bucs on Monday was senior Mimmie Dymling (Sollentuna, Sweden) who improved from a first-round 82 to a second round 79 to tie for 26th after the first day of play. Fellow senior Catalina Zuluaga (Cali, Colombia) shot a first-round 83 and a second-round 82 to finish the day in a tie for 39th. Sophomore Kristen Fletcher (Cookeville, Tenn.) shot an 86 in the first round of play, followed by a second round 81 to finish in a tie for 42nd. Rounding out the Bucs' day on the links were senior Susan McKinney (Rogersville, Tenn.), who finished in a tie for 56th (89-83=172) and freshman Alysa Few (London, Ontario), who finished in a tie for 70th (89-87=176).

ONAMIA, Minn. - Minnesota's strange spring has delivered another unusual weather phenomena to the shores of Lake Mille Lacs.
Strong winds have pushed huge ice sheets ashore at one of Minnesota's premiere fishing lakes and right up to people's doorsteps. In some cases, the ice has pushed through the buildings.
Pictures posted on the KARE 11 Facebook page show the ice from Lake Mille Lacs reaching the doors and windows at Izatys Resort and other buildings on the southern shore Saturday morning.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Shawn Devinny says 30 to 40 mile an hour winds pushed the water into the ice, driving it ashore. He says the winds were lighter Sunday and the shoreline got a reprieve.
The Department of Natural Resources says about 10 miles of shoreline are covered with the huge piles of ice, with some reaching up to 30 feet high.

"Lamestream", "Blamestream" Or "Shamestream" – Liberal Media Is All The Same Stream
A "livid" Star Jones (did you have to think for a moment who that is?) is hyperventilating over a Sarah Palin interview with Matt Lauer in which Palin addressed the liberal media as "lamestream" on several occasions, and Lauer let her get away with it without interrupting her.
"Star was watching the interview in the green room and she was absolutely floored that Sarah Palin as a guest on the Today show was basically calling everyone on set lame."
How "offensive" is it, really, calling liberal media "lamestream"? Whether it's ABC, CBS, NBC, MSNBC, CNN, NPR, it's all the same media, and it has been that way for over fifty years. Liberal media has always gone after conservatives and Republicans, while defending its own liberals, entertainers and politicians alike. Jones, who does some "lawyering" on the side, can file defamation and slander charges against Palin, if she thinks her choice of "lamestream" went too far. Otherwise, she can just suck it in. But if she needs some "Fresh Air", NPR has a glowing tribute to Rachel Maddow that might soothe her and make her forget about Sarah Palin's "outrageous" and "offensive" use of words to describe her beloved media outlets.
In the meantime, here are some less "offensive" clips and use of play on words from Rachel Maddow herself:
These clips ought to work better for Star Jones than a paper bag!

Standing on the front step of his red brick ranch house in suburban Dallas, sipping a cup of coffee, his black Scottish terriers Barney and Miss Beazley at his feet, he comes to life when he spots the guy next door getting ready to leave for work. "Sleeping in this morning?" he yells across the lawn with a friendly grin. "That's where Barney made his deposit," he adds, referring to an amusing story in his new memoir, Decision Points, about being leader of the free world one day and scooping Barney's mess off the neighbor's front yard the next.
Aside from a few Secret Service agents and a big American flag hanging near the front curb, there is little that sets this house apart from the others on the cul-de-sac where the former president and first lady live — except maybe the beautifully landscaped putting green that George, who loves golf, built on the empty lot he owns next door. "Laura turned it into Versailles," he says. "I turned it into Augusta."
In his book, President Bush explains why and how he made some of the most momentous — and at times controversial — decisions in his life, including his decisions to marry Laura, to stop drinking, to run for president, to fight wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and to step in and prop up U.S. banks in 2008 to avert a global financial crisis. Of his political decisions, right or wrong, he writes, "On every one, I did what I believed was in the best interests of our country."
Since leaving office, President Bush, 64, has virtually disappeared from public view, refusing to criticize his successor or weigh in on political events, including the rise of the Tea Party movement. So I was curious about what he's been thinking and how he's feeling after two years of reflection. His passion for his ranch in Crawford, Texas, as well as for the Texas Rangers (the baseball team he once co-owned) and the Republican party are a given. Our conversation therefore turned to the other six big R's that define his postpresidential life: reinvention (a word he doesn't use), risk taking (credit his Texas upbringing), his controversial reputation ("There's nothing you can do about it"), regrets (he admits to a few), relationships (he feels " blessed"), and retirement (an "old-fashioned" term).
AARP The Magazine (ATM): At 40 you gave up drinking. By 50 you were governor of Texas. At 55 you were president. What do you do for an encore? How do you go from 100 mph to 10 mph?
President Bush: (Laughs.) First of all, I'm just experiencing what it means to go from 100 mph to 10. I was able to adjust initially by plunging right into the book and the Bush Presidential Center at Southern Methodist University. And it turns out that there is a good way to make a living by giving speeches. So I'm in a transition period from presidency to active citizenry. I want to go 100 mph again — well, maybe not 100. Maybe 80. I want to live out principles that became a part of my life in my 40s, 50s, and 60s. One principle is the universality of freedom. I'm a freedom lover. And I feel a sense of obligation to our troops and their families because of the decisions that I made. So I'm involved with veterans.

Admit it, the crisp, flaky outer scales of the onions you use in soups, salads, and casseroles usually end up in the trash (or perhaps more usefully, the compost bin).
But don't toss them out before you've put them to use. For your health!
Recent research confirms that the outer skins of onions provide an exceptionally rich source of plant compounds called flavonoids, especially the powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory compound, quercetin.
Quercetin is under study as an agent for lowering LDL cholesterol and blood pressure, fighting allergies, reducing inflammation, enhancing muscle growth and function, treating depression, some forms of cancer, and other conditions.
"Plants are the master chemists," says Mary Ann Lila, who directs the Plants for Human Health Institute at North Carolina State University. "Because plants can't move around, they have to manufacture what they need, not merely to grow, but to defend, protect, and heal themselves. It makes sense that the compounds plants produce in response to stress would help a human under similar circumstances."
It also makes sense that plants would concentrate many of these protective compounds in the outer coverings--skins and peels of various roots and fruits--the point where most environmental assaults would likely occur.
To extract quercetin and other beneficial plant compounds that onions skins might contain, toss a whole onion or two, scales and all, into the pot next time you make soup, put a stew into the crock pot, or cook rice. Or, you could save the outer onion scales in a paper bag. Tie up a handful of onion skins loosely in the cut-off leg of an old pantyhose or a thin sock. You can discard the skins after the soup has simmered or the rice has cooked. Wash and save the "bag" for another use.
A nice side benefit: onion skins will impart a rich brown or deep mahogany color to your broth, depending on which color onion you use.
Other uses for onion skins
Noted ethnobotanist James Duke recommends an infusion of onion skins as a soothing wash for the itch of scabies and other skin disorders.
Although I haven't tried it, onion skins make gorgeous dyestuffs for natural fibers. Take a peek.
Also, if you have a surplus, an onion-skin infusion has a long reputation as a softening and smoothing hair rinse. Just run the strained onion-skin broth through freshly washed hair a few times and let it air dry. (Yes, I have tried this, with positive results. Don't worry. There's no residual onion odor.)
A Japanese firm has developed a fermented onion-skin "health tea" they claim concentrates the quercetin and removes the bitter aftertaste of the raw product. (The declared benefits might also derive from the fact that the tea contains nine other health-promoting herbs, including green tea and turmeric.)
Thanks, but I think I'll stay with the soup stock.

On May 14, investigators from the SPCA Serving Erie County charged Beth Hoskins with 10 misdemeanor counts of animal cruelty after 73 horses, 53 cats and four dogs were found living in deplorable conditions on her Erie County farm.
"These are definitely some very serious charges," says Jeff Eyre, ASPCA's Northeast Director of Field Investigations and Response. "But it's important to remember that each animal involved was a life that was abused."
Eyre was one of several members of the ASPCA Field Investigations and Response Team deployed this past March to assist in what has been declared the area's largest farm animal rescue ever. For more than two months, the Team oversaw the sheltering and care of 74 Morgan-type horses recovered from the scene. The Team also played a vital role in nurturing the abused equines, who eventually regained confidence and trust.
"I can remember the first days after the rescue, when the horses would react to us with horror and fear. They were emaciated, dirty and their manes full of tangles and mats," says Eyre. "Today, these healthy animals can be gently walked with a halter lead and approach humans with interest and affection—that is a huge difference."
On April 30, the ASPCA's task came to a close, as the remaining horses were transported to new foster homes. "We achieved our goal to rehabilitate these horses, both physically and behaviorally," reports Eyre. "These are now happy horses, and I could not have asked for a better ending."
According to Eyre, the Team's next step is to prepare a report that documents the poor physical conditions the equines were found in, as well as their deplorable living conditions, and follows the improvements they have made since rescue.
While Hoskins' attorney maintains his client's innocence, the accused is scheduled for arraignment on May 26 in Aurora town court. To date, the total cost of the investigation, including animal care, has exceeded $110,000.

Ditto. The Maxstar (and other TIG/Stick machines) use a Constant Current (CC) process.
MIG and FCAW use a Constant Voltage (CV) process. Machines that do both are expensive.
Besides, for a 140A machine, a HH140 would cost less than a wirefeeding attachment anyway, and now you have two machines!
What projects do you have in mind?

Academic Computing Services
Going the extra mile for you!
The Specialized Services group provides three major services:
Repairs beyond that of Customer Support
If the Service Desk determines that a piece of equipment needs service beyond that which can be provided on site, it will be handled by the Information Technology Services' (ITS) Specialized Services. Typical items include manufacturers' warranty repair; complicated part replacement; and, parts that need to be ordered. When possible, the Technical Services will provide temporary, substitute equipment.
Specialized technical skills and/or knowledge
Although the Technical Services unit does its best, we recognize that it is not always possible to train all techs to do everything that is required of the Technical Services department. The Specialized Services unit reserves the techs with identified special skills and/or knowledge so they can be made available whenever the need arises.
Technical Projects
ITS Technicians ("Techs") are needed to provide immediate service to CCSF technology "customers." Techs area also are needed to work on projects, so the Technical Services unit manages staff expertise and availability to ensure that both of these critical roles are met.

A few month back I bought a cheap Samsung 24" monitor. This was for a secondary machine that I only occasionally need to use (off premises). After a few days I realised the screen was hurting my eyes within a short period of use. More investigation made it obvious that the text on the screen was slightly blurred in the center of the monitor.
I immediately concluded that this was due to it being a budget priced monitor and enjoyed telling everyone (that would listen) that budget monitors where evil - even to the point that they should be given a health warning, or simply banned from sale.
I've now discovered this isn't the case - and, also realised that my memory must be failing otherwise I wouldn't have come to this wrong conclusion.
The simple fact is that it isn't the monitor that is evil, it's the GRAPHICS CARD.
I've just plugged my EIZO (crystal clear image) monitor into the secondary computer I mentioned above. And the exact same problem has happened with the blurry text.
Now, maybe I'm still jumping to conclusions; there are three possible causes as I see it:
1) It's the graphics card - an onboard intel thing.
2) It's the VGA connection (Yes, I know, maybe I should have thought about that being the cause before - as I said, my memory is going, I know I've seen similar poor signal coming from VGA before).
3) It's the operating system (though, I have reconfigured cleartype and enabled/disabled it several times without any improvement).
The onboard card only has VGA out (which is then going to DVI on the EIZO) so I'm going to stick another card in with DVI connections - which I expect will make everything work perfectly.
So, I just wanted to say, to anyone out there still using VGA connections (even to an LCD), you may like to consider upgrading your graphics card. There really is a dramatic difference in quality, well, blurred text isn't fun to read even if it's almost imperceptible.

"It is just what it claims to be. Use as unbaked pie shell."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

Watch video tips and tricks
1 1/4 cups
all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon
1/2 cup
shortening, chilled
3 tablespoons
ice water
I gave the dry ingredients and the shortning a whiz in my food processor until it formed a small crumb, then poured this into a bowl and added the water. This dough was so easy to work with. I'm so impressed with myself...the dough was delightfully flaky. I've always stayed away from making pie crust...but no more!! Peach season is just starting here and i can't wait to try my hand at a pie with this dough! Thank you Stephanie!! UPDATE: Since writing my review six months ago, I've gained a reputation for my flaky pie crust. I've been asked numerous times to make pies for gatherings. For people who have problems with this recipe, here are a few suggestions: Add an extra tbsp of water to the mixture, roll the dough between 2 pieces of waxed paper to prevent sticking and for easy transfer, and even though the recipe says to chill the dough, you don't have to. I've been working with this dough without chilling it, and I find it turns out even flakier, and is so easy to work with. Hope this helps!
??? It was so very crumbly! Did anyone else have trouble rolling this dough? It cracked badly...EXACTLY followed the recipe...
1601 Ratings
I wish there were 10 stars. OMG this was the best pie crust ever!
***For anyone looking to double the recipe use 2 1/2 cups flour, 1/2 teas salt, 1 cup chilled shortening and 1/4 cup AND 2 tbs ice water. My sister doubled it wrong and although it was harder to work w/ it still tasted great!
From reading all the reviews and will next time use the wax paper under and over the dough to help me roll it out and place it in the pie pan. But really this was so easy to make and was easy to work with, for the most part. Next time I'm going to try it w/ butter just to see the taste difference. My MIL couldn't stop talking about the crust. This is definatly a keeper! THANKS!!!!
***UPDATE*** I now make this crust all the time and I now use sticks of butter right out of the fridge instead of chilled Crisco and I like the taste much better. I've used this for all kinds of pies, even chicken pot pie and it goes great w/ anything you want to use it for. Also for a tip.. spread milk over the top of the crust and sprinkle w/ sugar before baking for a sweeter crust. Ummmm... Gotta go make some pies for Thanksgiving!
Left recipe as is, but used real butter (instead of shortening) that I had in my freezer. Sliced butter into small pieces and blended into flour mixture. After rolling in a ball, I placed in the refrigerator for 1/2 hour and then rolled it out. It was wonderful and flaky and in my opinion there is no need to use another pie crust recipe.
This tip is for Adtrent who has problems rolling out pie dough. On the surface you plan to roll out your pie dough, take a clean wet cloth, wipe the surface and IMMEDIATELY BEFORE IT DRIES, sprinkle flour over and rub it around. You will be able to roll out your dough without any trouble. Trust me I know. I experimented for a long time before I learned this trick. Just add more flour to the surface for more pie crusts.Good luck. Sandy
I didn't have any shortening (I guess I can't buy it in my country/ I don't know what it is (?))
I made the crust with butter. Turned out really great. (though there wasn't enough for one quiche)
To roll out the dough:
Take a piece of clingfilm. On top of it you put the dough. Cover it with another piece of clingfilm. Then roll out the dough. Remove the upper layer of plastic. Put it up side down in your pie pan and pull the plastic off.
So easy, I assure you won't have any problems! (And you don't need extra flour this way)
I froze the crust, then prebaked it for 15 minutes. Brushed the crust with some eggwhite and put it back in the oven for 30 seconds (so it becomes 'waterproof') then put the filling in it.

I also was disappointed that the recipe directions did not include baking instructions; the type of pie I made (Lemon Meringue) required a pre-baked crust. Using the directions from a very similar pie crust recipe in a cookbook I have, I baked the crust at 475 degrees for about 8-10 minutes.
This recipe is exactly like a recipe I found in a 1940's cookbook. This recipe makes pie crusts simple. If you have time to refrigerate the dough after it is mixed, it will roll out better. Also, using cheese cloth under the dough to roll it out will prevent sticking plus help you put it in a pie plate.
One more hint I found in that cookbook. Glass pie plates will bake more evenly than metal.
