At some point, you've probably come across one of those funny little squares that look like something out of an early 80s video game. They're actually Quick Response (QR) codes, and they're fast becoming a popular marketing tool for many small businesses.
A QR code works much like a barcode in that it's able to store a lot of data in a small, two-dimensional space. But unlike barcodes, when a QR code is scanned it can trigger a specific action –like launch a website or downloadable file, or activate a phone or email function. You also need to have a special scanner application (which you'd download onto a smart phone) in order to access the information stored in the code.
The good news is, you don't have to be a tech whiz to create your own QR codes. There are a number of websites that will allow you generate a QR code that you can use in your marketing campaigns.
QR codes are a fun way to get people to interact with your brand. And what's really great is that you can use them pretty much anywhere. Business cards, print advertising and brochures, receipts, signage, product packaging… some innovative marketers have even turned them into temporary tattoos!
If you really want to get maximum value from a QR code, have them link to something that's going to be useful to the customer and relevant to your product or service. For instance, if you're going to use them on your product packaging, have the QR code contain assembly instructions or directions on how best to use the product. Or maybe the QR code has a coupon offer so your customer can receive a discount on their next purchase.
The QR code is yet another valuable tool to add to your marketing arsenal –and the best part is, the possibilities it offers are endless.

Dear Members,
Non-violence and Vegetarianism
[By Dr. David N. Snyder]
Because of our close connection to animals biologically (evolution) and spiritually in the re-birth
process, the Buddha was opposed to violence towards animals. An understanding and
acceptance of the theory of evolution is important because without that acceptance there is a
perception of a great separation between humans and animals which simply is not true.
Michael Shermer, the founder of The Skeptic Society and Skeptic magazine has written about the
importance of the acceptance of biological evolution and ranks Darwin's work as the single most
important contribution in history. I concur with him that Darwin's research is the greatest
finding in history for its potential at changing world views. It changed (or eventually will
change) the world view that there is a complete separation between humans and animals. As
time goes on, people will realize that it is not even just a biological connection. If we are
animals as evolution shows us, then animals must also have a soul if humans do (or Buddhanature
or capacity for enlightenment or any other spiritual terminology). There is no way around
it since we all evolved from the same source.
Once we realize that animals are our relatives, albeit in the distant past to a common ancestor,
nevertheless, relatives, we do not want to inflict as much harm and violence to animals and the
environment in general. In the Eightfold Middle Path the Buddha advises us not to kill or
cause to kill and not to hold an occupation which involves killing animals or handling flesh, such
as a butcher.
There are some Buddhist writings which specifically prohibit the eating of meat and there are
others that seem to allow it. The most popular of the verses that seems to suggest meat eating as
being acceptable is a suggestion by the Buddha that monks and nuns should eat what is served
them in their alms bowls. The monks and nuns were advised to graciously accept what is served
in their food bowls from a lay person. ―Beggars can't be choosers‖ applies in the case of monks
and nuns, but for the vast majority of followers who are lay people, a conscious decision
must be made. Therefore, many Buddhists (but certainly not all - about half), have chosen a
vegetarian diet. (Based on surveys, including Snyder, 1986, 1987, 1989)
The following are some common questions and points Buddhists from all traditions have made
against vegetarianism. Answers are provided to each and every one of their ―points‖ to show
that the Buddha's path is about compassion and at least leans towards vegetarian diets.
Q. Didn't the Buddha eat meat?
A. This is a claim sometimes made by Buddhists of all traditions. There appear to be some
references about the Buddha eating choice foods which could include meat before he was
enlightened, while he was living in the palace. This is before he made the great renunciation and
left the householder's life and became a recluse (monk). Even after enlightenment he may have
ate some meat as monks and nuns are expected to abide by the Threefold rule where they accept
what is offered to them.
His final meal before enlightenment is reported to be rice cooked in milk (which is vegetarian).
He ate boiled rice, grains and bread just before enlightenment (Majjhima Nikaya 36.33). The
Buddha defines delicious foods as choice hill rice with curry (Sutta 7, Majjhima Nikaya). In
another sutra, Buddha and Ananda compare the teachings to a sweet honey ball which consists of
flour, ghee, molasses, and honey (Sutta 18, Majjhima Nikaya). Here is a passage that specifically
mentions vegetarian foods:
―So the Blessed One early in the morning put on his robes and, carrying his bowl and outer
robe, went together with the community of monks to the cowherd's home. On arrival, he sat down
on a seat made ready. The cowherd, with his own hand, served and satisfied the community of
monks headed by the Blessed One with thick milk-rice porridge and fresh ghee. Then, when the
Blessed One had eaten and had removed his hand from his bowl, the cowherd took a lower seat
and sat to one side. As he was sitting there, the Blessed One, instructed, urged, roused, and
encouraged him with a talk on Dhamma, then got up from his seat and left.
Khuddaka Nikaya, Udana 4.3
After enlightenment two merchants offered the Buddha gruel made from barley meal with honey
that is rolled into balls (Vinaya 1.4). Most of the time his food was very simple, the staple food
was rice gruel. The Buddha even made a list about the advantages of rice gruel, stating that it
dispels hunger, quenches thirst, regulates wind, cleanses the bowels, and helps digestion
(Anguttara Nikaya 5.21). Even when his food was not that simple, but rather ―choice it was
still vegetarian as at one time he ate ―choice rice, many sauces and curries (Majjhima Nikaya
There appears to be one place, and apparently only this one place, where he is described as
eating meat. At A.III,49 it mentions that the Buddha was once served sukaramamsa (Pali) with
jujube fruit. The term mamsa = meat or flesh. The sutta mentions that the Buddha ate "out of
pity" apparently suggesting that he wanted to please the layman by accepting his food.
In the Khuddaka Nikaya, Vimanavatthu (Stories of the Mansions), there are stories of
meritorious deeds done by lay people who then ascended to a deva realm. Many of the
meritorious deeds were giving alms food to the Buddha or one of his monks. Here we find
several examples of only vegetarian food either given to the Buddha or one of his chief monk
disciples, Moggallana or Sariputta.
In the book that follows the Vimanavatthu, the Petavatthu, there are stories of beings in the realm
of hungry ghosts (a lower realm, lower rebirth) and Moggallana suveys the area to find out what
made them get there. In one passage it states, ―This woman ate meat and deceived with a lying
word. (Petavatthu 3.4) In another passage from the Petavatthu, a hunter kills deer and shares
the meat with children every time he arrives back in town. In spite of the generosity (which
normally leads to good rebirth), he is reborn as a hungry ghost, apparently because of the killing
of deer and handling the flesh. (Petavatthu 3.1) The Petavatthu also contains verses showing
that the Buddha was offered vegetarian foods (abbreviated Petav. below) which he ate.
List of vegetarian foods mentioned in the Pali Canon which the Buddha ate:
Thick milk-rice porridge and fresh ghee (Udana 4.3)
Wild rice (Majjhima Nikaya I. 78)
Rice with grains (Majjhima Nikaya 247), (Majjhima Nikaya 36.33)
Barley meal honey balls (Vin. I. 4)
Choice rice with curry (Majjhima Nikaya II. 7)
Rose apple, mango, myrobalan fruits (Vin. I. 30)
Steamed barley and rice (Vinaya, Suttavibhanga 1)
Lettuce and fruit salad (Vinaya, Suttavibhanga 33.1)
Vegetables and rice (Vinaya, Cullavagga VI 4.1)
Milk (Vinaya, Mahavagga VI 34.20)
Conjey (watery rice porridge) and honey lumps (Vinaya, VI 24.3-7)
Vegetables and bread (Vinaya, VI 36.7)
Ghee, honey, sugar, rice, milk (Vim. 1.5)
Molasses (Vim. 4.2) and (Vim. 6.4) and (Vim 6.5)
Rice-crust (Vim. 2.10)
Cake (Vim. 3.1)
Sugar-cane (Vim. 3.2) and (Petav. 4.5)
Rice-crust, soups and curries (Vim. 2.3)
Mangoes (Vim. 6.3) and (Vim. 6.5) and (Vim. 4.8)
Rice custard / pudding (Vim. 6.7)
Rice gruel (Vim. 4.4) and (Vim 4.5) and (Petav. 3.5)
Rice, cane-juice, sugar cane (Vim. 5.12)
Rice gruel and mangoes (Petav. 4.12)
Beans, grains (Vim. 7.6)
The bhikkhuni (nun), Rohini offered sweet cakes to a previous Buddha and was reborn in good
families after that and eventually was reborn during the Buddha's time and became a nun and
attained enlightenment (Psalms of the Early Buddhists 67, Pali Text Society translation).
In one of the Buddha's past lives, when he was a crane, he even refused to kill to eat fish, by
eating only those fish which were already dead from natural causes. (Jataka 1.206-8) If this was
the level of his interest in not being part of the killing as a carnivorous animal, we can only
imagine how much greater the compassion would be as an enlightened human.
At his final days in the parinibbana sutta, the food that led to his death was at one time translated
as pork. The terms have been translated as ―pig's truffles‖ which was originally mistranslated as
pork. Modern scholars including, Arthur Waley, K. E. Neumann, and Mrs. Rhys David have
corrected this to ―the food of pigs‖ which are mushrooms. Today, the majority of Buddhist
scholars agree that the Buddha ate mushrooms, which may have been poisonous and led to his
death at the age of 80. Or it could simply have been the size of the meal that led to his death as
there is evidence that the Buddha was already suffering from digestive problems well before
eating the final meal (from previous suttas where the Buddha was ill and then recovered).
However, the Buddha eats from the dish and requests for the remaining amount to be buried,
apparently knowing that the food was in some way tainted and not simply a large meal. This
suggests that the food was in some way not fit to eat, such as the wrong type of mushrooms.
Further evidence that the Buddha did not eat pork can be seen in the fact that Cunda was a
blacksmith, the one who offered the final meal to the Buddha. On a recent trip to India I learned
from a Hindu-Buddhist scholar that the three highest castes do not eat pork or other foods from
pig meat. As a blacksmith, he was a member of the third caste and therefore, could not have
prepared pork.
According to Buddhism, the three most important foods served to the Buddha were the final
meal (discussed above), most likely mushrooms, the meal just before enlightenment, which was
the milk rice served by Sujata, and the meal right after enlightenment, which was barley meal
honey balls. All three of these meals were vegetarian.
Q. What about the famous three-fold rule that the Buddha allowed meat eating if one did
not hear, see, or order the animal to killed for one's consumption.
A. The main premise behind the three-fold rule is to graciously accept what one receives in your
bowl when going for alms round. This rule was meant and spoken to monks and nuns, not to lay
people. ―Beggars can't be choosers in modern terms. So for the vast majority of Buddhists
who are lay people, a conscious decision must be made.
In the Pali scriptures and the Sanskrit Mahayana scriptures (Buddha's discourses) there are many
references to the Buddha's compassion for animals and his wish for animals not to be killed,
including statements in the Dhammapada and other suttas about how all animals do not wish to
be killed and how we should avoid killing at all possible costs. The Buddha was most concerned
about intent. If we accidentally kill and there is no intent, then there is no negative kamma
accumulated. But, if we purchase meat at a grocery store, can we honestly say that we do not
intend for another animal to be killed?
The monks and nuns were required to go on alms rounds for their foods during the time of the
Buddha. So this apparently removed some of the ―intent. But lay people must choose and can
make a conscious decision at the grocery. The butcher and slaughter house workers are just
doing the dirty work for the demand raised from the grocery stores by the consumers.
Ven. Abhinaya, an English-born Theravada monk has said, ―To use scripture to justify the
disgusing and cruel habit of eating meat is both dishonest and unworthy. I've never been able
to reconcile the preaching of Metta-Karuna (loving-kindness and compassion) with the
practice of meat eating; they contradict each other. And as to seeing, hearing, or suspecting
that the animal was killed especially for someone, well, for whom is the animal killed if not for
those who eat its flesh? No amount of twisting, juggling and verbal gymnastics can get
around that. (Shabkar.org, Taking a Stand)

These guys just won't lay down and die will they?
BB has the best UI, best keyboards, best (by far, no comparison) messaging/email, menus are intelligent and intuitive.
Android is a clunker, when somebody lets me use their Android for something I can't wait to give it back to them. Sorry, it may be real "popular", but it sucks, big time.
Apple, while it's nice, once you own one, you may as well tattoo apples all over your body, paste apple logos on everything you own, and shackle that Apple ball-and-chain to your ankle. They will hold you prisoner to them, and you will be indoctrinated to eat, breathe, sleep, and be totally brainwashed to believing Apple is the only thing available to you – enjoy your life in Apple camp.
BB has all the Apps I've ever needed, everything works extremely well, I have a "real" keyboard (Torch 9810), fast processor, tons of memory, sleek high-quality design, and I can go where I want for accessories and downloads. Only a Windows 8 phone would be worthy of consideration for my use. Apple can keep their Brown Shirts, Android can keep their clunkers and popularity. Add the best of the best utility software that is BlackBerry Desktop Manager, you will never lose your data, very easy to change to a new BB device, move files around, nobody else has anything like it – it is The Best, and makes managing your phone (aka – your little pocket computer) the smartest and easiest way to go.

Crisco® Original No-Stick Cooking Spray
1 cup
firmly packed light brown sugar
3/4 cup
Crisco® Butter Shortening*
large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons
1 teaspoon
3/4 teaspoon
baking soda
1 teaspoon
vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups
Pillsbury BEST® All Purpose Flour
3/4 cup
coarsely chopped pecans
1/2 cup
semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (8 ounce) package
toffee baking bits
Memorable! And in a very good way! First, they have great eye appeal. You can see the bits of toffee, pecans pieces and chocolate chips in this chunky, hefty, buttery looking cookie. I was already pleased and impressed before I even tasted them (ok, I tasted the dough and it was pretty darned good too). I made them larger than the recipe specified, so my intention was just to break off a corner to try them for this review. Wow, one bite to know these are eye popping, jaw dropping, socks knocking off good. The rest of that cookie went down real quick and easy. :) I don't like a too-soft cookie and I knew that all brown sugar could possibly result in that effect. So I used half white, half brown. I don't use butter-flavored Crisco (I don't like it) so I used regular Crisco and added a half teaspoon of butter-vanilla baking emulsion to compensate for the loss of (artificial) butter flavor. I also took a gamble and omitted the milk. Finally, I wanted some CHOCOLATE to go with all those wonderful toffee chips and pecans so I used a full cup instead of the half cup indicated in the recipe. What I got was a beautiful, hefty, hearty, buttery/toffee/pecan/chocolate cookie that was kind of sweet and salty at the same time! Only two reviewers on this awesome recipe?! Hope my review and pic help change that! This one's a real winner.
This is an amazing cookie recipe! Everyone in my family loved the cookies and were quite impressed with how delicious they are! I strongly recommend trying the recipe.
11 Ratings
"Like crack" "amazing" "oh my..." "mmmm!!!" are just a FEW of the comments I received in regards to these cookies, so how could they NOT have earned the 5-star rating?!! Let me tell you what I did differently: I only had veg. Crisco, I toasted the pecans before chopping, and I added about twice as many chocolate chips (because I can, that's why!! And you should too!). As I dumped the entire bag of Heath bits into the dough, I thought it might be overkill...too sweet. Well, when I "sampled" (too much) of raw dough, it was too sweet. But when you just enjoy a cookie that has delicious bits of Heath mixed with chopped pecans and gooey chocolate, it's perfect. **I omitted the milk to a small portion of the dough. We found that, while it baked up beautifully and smooth, the cookies had a sandier texture than the cookies made with a little bit of milk...
I'm torn between three and four stars. There were several good things about this recipe. I liked the texture (soft and chewy) and the way they looked. I used half a cup of butter flavored Crisco and a quarter cup butter. I also used Ghiradeli bittersweet chocolate chips and refrigerated the dough between batches-it stayed nice and soft, never getting rock hard. I made 1.2 ounce balls and sat them on the baking sheet, they flattened to the perfect shape while they baked. My major problem with these cookies was how sweet they were. My boyfriend really seemed to like them, although he didn't eat very many.
These are deadly. I followed the recipe with the exception of adding extra chocolate chips (finishing an open bag). I may cut back a smidgeon on the toffee chips next time because it was a little sweeter than I liked, but still excellent.
This recipe was great! The cookies were soft and moist! However since i am not a fan of semi-sweet chocolate chips, i substituted white chocolate chips. It was amazing!
I really enjoyed the flavor of these. This was the first time I ever used Crisco butter-flavored shortening...I used the baking stick instead of the other kind. The pecans, chocolate chips and toffee pieces were great additions, but my cookies did turn out a little bit flat.

The Wedding Song (Le Chant des mariees)
War, Drama
During the Third Reich's occupation of Tunis in 1942, two teens, Jewish Myriam and Muslim Nour, find that they desire each other's life. Although far more interested in love than war, the girls find historical circumstances affecting each of their wedding plans. The occupying Nazis demand reparation payments from the Tunisian Jews, which Myriam's impoverished seamstress mother cannot pay. Desperate, she promises Myriam's hand to wealthy, older doctor Raoul. Meanwhile, Nour is happily betrothed to her handsome cousin Khaled, but her father postpones the wedding until Khaled gets a job. Unfortunately for the girls' relationship, the Islamist Khaled finds work with the Germans, helping to round up Tunisian Jews.

Animator Letters Project
Hey folks!
I started the Animator Letters Project, which is project asking all professional animators to write a letter telling their story of how they got into the industry and encourage aspiring animators to follow their dreams and to not give up. Once I get enough letters, I am going to publish them all in a book and donate the proceeds to help an aspiring animator go to school, who can't afford it. It has been doing pretty successful so far, and with enough luck, more and more letters will continue to come in, so please check out the site often for inspiration!
Please help spread the word, and if you are a professional animator, please consider writing a letter for this project. This book will not only serve as inspiration to aspiring animators and artists around the world for years to come, but will be a time capsule in animation history, and I want as many animators from within the industry to contribute as possible. There can not be too many letters for this, so write one today and send it to me to be apart of this great project!
Re: Animator Letters Project
Thanks for bringing this project to our attention.
We're revamping our homepage to function as a blog. We'll be ready to make the change in a few hours, and once we've got things going we'll feature the Animation Letters Project there.
I'd like to contribute something to it. My story of how I got into the animation biz is unique.
What's the deadline for submissions?
Re: Animator Letters Project
Hey Charles!
I just now saw your reply to this post after seeing the blog post you made for the project. Thanks for helping me get the word out there about it!
I would love for you to contribute to the Animator Letters Project, that would be great! I'm sure your story will be an inspiration to a lot of people!
As of right now, the deadline is pretty open...I would LIKE to have them all in by next summer to be able to start putting them into a book, but it really depends on how many letters I have by then. But, I would like to try to have them in by then.
Re: Animator Letters Project
Are you a professional working in animation?
Then you must have an encouraging story of how you made it into the industry.
Share that story with other artists who are striving to see their dream of making it in animation become a reality.
Check out http://www.TheAnimatorLettersProject.com
Re: Animator Letters Project
Willie Downs continues to move forward with The Animator Letters Project.
He's been collecting and publishing hand written letters of inspiration and encouragement from many of today's top industry professionals to share with artists who are striving to break into the biz. If you're in animation consider adding your story to the collection...

iPF 8300 head?/data cable faults
November 28, 2012, 02:14:33 PM »
This problem was eventually solved, but I am posting the following summary in case the fault sequence and conclusion might assist anyone else. I would also be grateful for any comments on Canon's response as detailed below.
The original fault symptom was that prints very suddenly began to show a cyan cast; no error messages were reported. A nozzle check showed one whole contiguous block of missing Photo Magenta nozzles, precisely 50% of the total for that ink on the Left head, with all other nozzles on both heads perfect. On the dealer's advice, this head was replaced, which reinstated the missing nozzle block, but the printer then returned a -2F43 error and would not perform a printhead adjustment.
Canon's engineer attended and after examining the original nozzle check printout concluded that this was not the typical signature of a failing head and that it was possible that the original left head may not itself have been faulty. He also noted repeated head overheating (-403E), -2F43, and other miscellaneous errors which had not been present previously and which he was unable to clear, despite both head checks showing 100% perfect nozzles.
Having ordered additional components and requested that I also source a further (Right) replacement head in case this was required, he subsequently returned and replaced the head carriage and relay board, and then also the motherboard, which did not clear the repeated errors.
He then additionally replaced the Right head, with no improvement.
As a final measure, he eventually replaced the flexible data cable between the motherboard and the print heads, at which point all the errors immediately ceased and the printer initialised normally.
Both original heads were out of (time) warranty at the time of replacement at 600 days but had logged only 171,000 Mdot (Left) and 136,000 Mdot (Right) total ink usage, well within rated throughput. The total consumables cost of the service included the two new print heads, the remaining ink in some eight cartridges previously showing 40% full, partial consumption of the other four, and 60% of the capacity of a new maintenance tank.
It appeared that the entire fault sequence was most probably due to the faulty data cable in the first instance, as evidenced by the complete cessation of all errors and the resumption of normal operation immediately upon replacement of the cable. It is very probable that the second (Right) head replacement and much of the consequent ink wastage - the head was removed and replaced several times in the course of the service - was entirely unnecessary, and quite possible also that the original Left head may not have required replacement either.
The major parts were covered by a service contract, but I have requested compensation from Canon in consideration of the excessive ink wastage during the service and also the (unnecessary) replacement of at least the Right head, given the low throughput and otherwise perfect condition of both heads. So far they have responded with an offer of 3 ink carts + a maintenance tank, which I consider is probably reasonable in respect of the ink wastage, but are resisting any concession on the print head(s). The gist of their comment on the latter was that I now have two new heads with a new 12-month warranty, so should be happy with that.
I need to respond to Canon's initial offer tomorrow and would be grateful if anyone has any thoughts on the matter.
Many thanks.

I'd take the offer, but I'm easy. Seems likely that the service contract only obligates them to fix your machine, regardless of collateral damage.
Complex machines are difficult to service and diagnose. Just ask any auto mechanic about microprocessor-filled new cars. So on one hand it's hard to fault reasonable sounding steps like replacing heads. On the other hand, complex but easily baffled machines like human beings usually try the easy steps first, rather than the more difficult ones like replacing a probably hard-to-access cable. Have dealt with a lot of persnickety machines in my day, and printers are near the top of the list. I might have taken the same wrong paths.
FWIW if you still have the old print heads, you can theoretically replace them on the original side at some later date. However, I'm not sure how to properly preserve them against drying for the time in storage, other than to use the plastic caps that came with the new ones in perhaps a well sealed plastic bag with a sliver of wet towel.
PS, about a year ago I spent $1300 servicing my wifes car, including replacing the motor mounts, when in the end all that was needed were new spark plug cables. Has an echo to it. These are strange times we live in.

A fault I more often reported of a friend's iPF9000, the ribbon cables running to the head carriage wear out and the Light Magenta channel no longer working. May have happened 3 times over 4 years for that particular machine, always the Light Magenta. Your cyan cast in the prints points to the same cause.

A new printer every two years keeps the printer doctor away, and service contracts at bay. Words to live by. New 8400 rollin' in next month, my 4th exercise of the 2 year principle. Great deals on 8400's at Lexjet. 8300 amortized at $0.08 per square foot, and almost zero headaches. But that clock keeps ticking. Give your old printers to schools, not the landfill or your potential competitors.

Ernst, thanks for your confirmation re. similar faults on your friend's iPF9000. I would have expected the engineer to be aware of the issue and perhaps to have tried replacing the cable at an earlier stage in the service, as it seems to be a known problem. The series of intermittent and apparently random error messages might also perhaps have offered a clue.
Bill, I agree with your comment about the complexity of modern electronics and the difficulties of diagnosing possibly intermittent and interdependent faults. However, it is one thing to swap the heads out willy-nilly in the hope of a cure when someone else is paying for them, another when they are £300 each and the cost is coming out of my pocket.
And unfortunately the printer replacement cost equation doesn't work that way for us in the UK. The only real deals available are on end-of-line 8300's and even those are still high at £3300 - I've seen deals of well under $2000 quoted early in its life cycle for that model in the US, literally a third of what we would pay in the UK today for a superseded model.
The iPF8400 is currently listed here at £5758 RRP (recommended retail price), and the best deal I've been able to find is £4100. Adding to the cashflow burden, all prices quoted above are also subject to 20% VAT, though as a registered business I can recover that eventually. The pricing differential makes no sense whatsoever, except perhaps to Canon's marketing department, but 'twas ever thus I'm afraid.

Thanks for the info in this thread - I've linked to it from my own 8300 usage notes page in the hope that it might help someone avoid so much hassle.
As to the prices - we pay an absurd amount here in the UK, compared to the US. One factor is that Canon UK have to buy their printers through Canon Europe, so we suffer an additional hit due to the state of the Euro etc.

At least you had a service or maintenance contract. My heads failed maybe after 400 days and they had WAY LESS ink through them than yours did. However, the relay board was also bad (according to Canon) and they were not sure whether the failure of the relay board caused the heads to fail, or vice versa. Canon went on to tell me that if they just sent me out a set of replacement heads, installing the heads would not fix the fault and could blow the motherboard itself. So .... it cost me $1,500.00 (plus tax) for that dreaded service call. (Not to mention all the extra ink that was consumed.) For that I got a set of heads, a relay board, and a maintenance cartridge. If it had been a $5.00 part or something simple like a belt, the cost would have been the same: $1,500.00!!
You see, part of Canon's business model is to sell you a service contract, and if you don't buy one, they literally will get their pound of flesh from you on the back end when the machine is out of warranty. They are pretty clever about this: If your machine is out of warranty and you want service and/or parts from someone other than Canon ... well ... good luck. First off, it is extremely difficult to find independent service technicians to work on wide format Canon inkjets. When, and if, you do find a knowledgeable service technician, you then learn that it is nearly impossible for the technician to get the parts that may be needed. Canon is only source of parts ... and while they can get them (eventually) it usually in some round-about way takes a period of time, which only prolongs your agony, when you want your machine fixed now.

I have to wonder if the UK Canon operation is not quite up to world standards. The "blow the motherboard" stuff is kind of the nonsense you get from tech supporters recently promoted from the loading dock. Replacing every possible suspect component in the chain is the sure sign of a diagnostically challenged technician.
With well over 20,000 square feet on my high mileage 8300, and with nearly two years on the clock and no warranty, the phone support here in the US still sends me replacement heads when needed, at no cost, shipped overnight for free. Total maintenance costs to date: $0.00. Their tech support consistently connects to an intelligent person who is very knowledgeable about the machine, not just technically but as from first hand experience. Extremely pleased with my Canon support experience, it's almost uncanny.

I have a gut feeling that Canon keeps track of ink use on a specific printer and adapts its service policy to ink use. The other hypothesis is that the higher EU purchase price is covering more than the US price. The issues with the 9000 mentioned before were not followed by high invoices either.

Well ... good for you! All I can say is LUCKY ... extremely LUCKY! I guess you have the magic MoJo with Canon. Next time (God forbid) maybe I can have you call Canon for me. (I guess my 8300 was just made on a Friday or right before some big Japanese holiday.)

Bill t, I'd love to know how, with no warranty, you get no-cost replacement heads when you need them. Do any others on this forum get the same? Please ask them for two more and send them to me, I'll pay postage.

I think I'm exploiting the original warranties on the heads themselves, separate from the printer. But I do think Canon has given me a very liberal interpretation of how the warranty from the old head is pro-rated onto the free new heads. But enough of that, I'm going over to kiss that printer right now.
PS...Frequent use seems to be good for the mechanical hearts of printers. Looking back at the long line of printers behind me, the ones I used the most were the least troublesome. The high use printers tended to develop ordinary diseases like head clogs. The least used ones tended to develop more exotic maladies like contaminated head electrical contacts. Sort of like Google finding its most exercised hard drives were the most reliable ones.

Phoenix, Ore. -- Comments recently made by the former Phoenix High School varsity softball coach have put him in hot water, but his players say they support him 100 percent and the whole situation is the result of a joke that went too far.
"There wasn't really a reason for him to get fired, we feel, and he was the best coach that Phoenix will ever have so we want him back," said Adriana Mereida-Ford.
"We want him back" is the rallying cry of the Phoenix Pirates varsity softball team after they say their coach was wrongly fired.
"Everyone's so close to us, it doesn't really offend anybody, it offended one person and it got out of hand," said Tiona Hurd.
During an end of year team banquet Coach Jason Zanni made jokes about the Mexican heritage of one of his players and how it should help her be a better softball player. Players say it's those jokes that cost Zanni his job.
After the firing, even the student the jokes were directed at came to Zanni's defense.
"We're having a protest... at the Phoenix talent school district and we all got t-shirts made and stuff so, we just want our coach back," said Mereida-Ford.
"He has gave so much for us and the school that no other coach would have done before," said Liliana Gomez.
The players say, unless coach Jason is reinstated, they're willing to make the difficult choice and give up playing softball all together.
NBC5 contacted the Phoenix talent school district and they said they couldn't comment on personnel issues but they did say that all coaches are on a year to year contract.

Kem One bidders granted two more months to finalize takeover plans
10:38 AM MDT | September 26, 2013 | Francinia Protti-Alvarez
The commercial court of Lyon, France, has granted the three bidders for debt-ridden polyvinyl chloride (PVC) producer Kem One (Lyon) two additional months to finalize their respective takeover projects, the company announced today. The final offers, which cover the entire Kem One group, will be examined at a further court hearing to be held on 12 December. Kem One SAS, which includes Kem One's Lyon headquarters and the upstream chlor-alkali and PVC activities of the company at seven production sites in France, has been under receivership since the end of March...

Even if you've already planted stuff, you could still transplant to the Dearthbox and save some water this summer.
This instructable shows you the materials we used, the steps we followed, and how to plant a fairly big plant, as well as how to plant seedlings.
Step 1: Gather your materials
Materials pictured:
2 big paint buckets that stack (~5 gallons each)
1 lid
1 plastic tub OR drain grate (The height of the tub/drain grate should be approximately the same height as the gap between the two buckets when stacked)
1 2' long 1" diameter plastic pipe (make sure it is longer than the height of the buckets when stacked)*
1 mesh baggie (find them as packaging for fruit, veggies, other stuff!)
Tools pictured:
drill with 1 inch bit and 1/4" masonry bit
utility knife with extra blades
rounded file
permanent marker
tarp (collects all the plastic bits!)
Not pictured:
black plastic garbage bags
seedlings or established plants
potting mix
*I've read different things about using PVC after making this first version, which does use PVC. This project is made entirely of plastic, so if plastics in general bother you, you probably should not make this. If PVC specifically bothers you, it's easy to find other plastic pipes that will work, just poke around the garden supply store. Also, Greenpeace has a big database of alternatives. What do you think about PVC? What alternatives have you discovered?
Can the growing medium in the dearthboxes be reused? I'm assuming I'll have to add more fertilizer and dolomite/lime but replacing all of the vermiculite/coir/perlite/etc. could get expensive. Thanks.
*I've made five and so far everything is kicking butt.
If you have any old pantyhose with runs, etc. you can use small sections to hold your fertilizer. Knot one end, pour in your solid fertilizer, trim and knot the other end. The fertilizer sack should be on the topmost layer of dirt in a trough. When the growing season is over, you can throw this away and start a new one. I live near Ellenton FL where the earth box was invented. They have a 1 acre farm of earth boxes. Some of the earth boxes have been using the same potting mix for 14 years.
Firehouse Subs also sells their 5-gallon "pickle" buckets for about $2. I believe a portion or all of those proceeds are donated to charity as well.
Not positive if it is food-grade plastic, but I would assume so if they are shipping pickles in them.
Lowes has food grade buckets for about a dollar more than Home Depots "homer" buckets.
Heating plastic will create hazardous gasses, Make sure you are in a well ventilated area.
Think of it this way: if the pipe is cut flat, 90 degrees to its length, and the flat end rests directly on the bottom of the container, there is really very little clearance for the water to actually flow from the pipe, into the container. This means the water can only flow out at a low rate, much less than the flow rate from the hose.
Now consider a 45 degree angle cut. Only the tip of the "point" is resting directly on the bottom of the container. The "open" portion of the cut allows fast , direct movement of water from the pipe into the container. Instead of the miniscule clearance provided by the 90 degree cut, there is now a wide-open space for the water to flow.
It qhould allow to grow patatoes, carrots etc.
So, it seems to be a trend. Thanks for adding this link to the comments!
I'm not sure if you have a question about drainage holes, or? There have to be some holes in the outer bucket so that the water in the bottom doesn't become stagnant, and so that you know when you've filled it up. If something doesn't make sense in the directions, let me know! Would like to clarify.
Another way to protect your recycled plastic buckets from UV exposure is to paint them (outside only). Unfortunately, you may have to use a good oil-base floor enamel to find something that will STICK to the plastic (latex paint peels off way too easy). This concern about the UV breaking the plastic down is actually how I got started building my containers from wood and lining them with black plastic.
You could also build a round (or square) box to enclose the bucket and shade it from the sun . . . looks better too. We use this approach to build outdoor ashtrays for our commercial buildings and simply fill the buckets mostly full with sand.
I agree with Mr. Beefhead -- potting MIX (not soil) works best. If you're inclined to make your own, it's about 40% peat moss, 20% perlite, and 20% compost. Some tomato growers (like Ray Newstead) think it runs a little wet; feel free to experiment. I use the 2.5 cubic foot bags of Miracle Gro = h-e-a-v-y . . . bring a helper.
Taking my cue from wicking boxes, I think we're wasting a lot of buckets (and time drilling holes) when ONE bucket will work just fine. I'll do an instructable on this and link to it soon. For now, you can scope out two wooden versions of "EarthTainers" which I built here:
Feel free to leave any constructive comments.
I am using information posted on the Global Buckets website as a guide also. There is more information on growing media and watering systems for a rooftop garden. All of your visitors can get a lot out of these self-watering buckets. I'll post photos of my results on my profile later on.

Re ferrets, gosh, I'm still not sure they would not find a way. Check out these beautiful upside-down earthboxes: http://www.instructables.com/id/Upside-Down-Hanging-Earth-Box/ Maybe if it were hanging it would foil the ferrets. That's a lot of ferrets.

under the authority of Macon Missionary Baptist Church
Macon Christian Academy
Under the authority of Days Cross Roads Missionary Baptist Church, Macon Christian Academy opened its doors for school on August 9th, 2010. The members of Days Cross Roads Missionary Baptist Church appointed a committee in 2008 to study the possibility of starting a private Christian school where our children can learn about the LORD, as well as excel academically. All grades Pre-K through grade 12 are offered.
Macon Christian Academy is located at 518 Church Street in Lafayette, TN. We will begin our third school year August 6th, 2012.
Applications are now being accepted for all grades Kindergarten-Grade 12, and Pre-K for 2-5 year olds. Pre-K and Kindergarten will use the Abeka curriculum and Grades 1-12 will use the Accelerated Christian Education (A.C.E.) curriculum. The school day is currently from 8:00am-3:00pm. The doors are open from 6:00am-5:30pm. There is a $50.00 application fee that will be credited toward tuition.
Our staff includes: Linda Blair, Tammy Britt, Kim Horton, Kyle W. Deering, Wayne Deering, Amber East, Paulette Claiborne and Terra Solomon.
Providing an excellent education for the children is very important; but exposing the children to the gospel is of the utmost importance. Along with the daily Bible lessons, the children are exposed to the gospel through our weekly services (chapel). A Missionary Baptist minister is invited each week to preach or teach to the children. We will also have gospel singing. Everyone is invited to attend these services.
For more information visit our website www.maconchristianacademy.org or contact Wayne Deering (Principal) at Phone: (615) 633-7265 or E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com.

I've been thinking of building one...just wondered if anyone has and any suggestions.
I was going to use an old portable air tank I've got laying around. Mount it to the wall tank ends up and down. Weld a pipe through the side with diffuser holes drilled along its length with the pipe end capped. Weld it close to the bottom of the tank and this would be the air inlet from the compressor.
The tank has an outlet already at what would be the top side of the tank. I would cut a hole on the top end and weld in a large pipe female fitting. I am thinking of using silica gel cat litter. Its 98% silica and a 12 lb tub is only about 20 bucks. Its not color changing but as best I can tell does the same thing and should be reusable if poured out and heated in an oven at 250.
Anyway...pour in the cat litter... thread in a pipe plug with Teflon tape to seal it and that should be it. I figure I'll build a stainless wool filter at the outlet as a first pass filter. Then a standard off the shelf air filter and a gauge to monitor any pressure drop.
I would think 12 lbs will take some time to fully saturate with moisture.
Any thoughts?
