It's been 18 years since the last federal government shutdown but officials at North Central are watching intently, hoping the issue is resolved.
The U.S. House of Representatives approved a short-term continuing resolution to fund federal programs at the current spending level through Dec. 15. Of the resolution's three elements, it continues funding at an annual level of $986.3 billion; second, it includes language to block implementation of the 2010 Affordable Care Act; third, it continues debt payments if the debt ceiling is not raised.
The Senate advanced legislation to prevent a partial government shutdown on Wednesday but any differences between the two houses' legislation must be reconciled and the bill signed into law by next Tuesday to avert a partial shutdown.

I have looked at the other questions (ie "why does space expansion affect matter") but can't find the answer I am looking for.
My question: There is always mention of space expanding when we talk about the speed of galaxies relative to ours.
Why, if space is expanding, does matter not also expand? If a circle is drawn on balloon (2d plane), and the balloon expands, then the circle also expands. If matter is an object with 3 spatial dimensions, then when those 3 dimensions expand, so should the object.
If that was the case, we wouldn't see the universe as expanding at all, because we would be expanding (spatially) with it.
I have a few potential answers for this, which raise their own problems:
Fundamental particles are 'point sized' objects. They cannot expand because they do not have spatial dimension to begin with. The problem with this is that while the particles would not expand, the space between them would, leading to a point where the 3 non-gravity forces would no longer hold matter together due to distance
Fundamental particles are curled up in additional dimensions ala string theory. These dimensions are not expanding. Same problems as 1, with the added problem of being a bit unsatisfying.
The answer seems to be (from Marek in the previous question) that the gravitational force is so much weaker than the other forces that large (macro) objects move apart, but small (micro) objects stay together. However, this simple explanation seems to imply that expansion of space is a 'force' that can be overcome by a greater one. That doesn't sound right to me.
I think some of the problems in this question verge into metaphysics, but I think from his (?) previous answer, Marek can probably explain the physical side of things a bit more thoroughly. I will leave it there cos anything else I write sounds rambling!

Tony Tiller wins multiple awards following two touchdown performance against Liberty
Monday, October 20, 2003JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 20, 2003) - East Tennessee State senior All-America cornerback Tony Tiller (Lithonia, Ga.) won three awards Monday following possibly the best game of his illustrious Buccaneer career with two interceptions for touchdowns Saturday afternoon in a 33-23 Homecoming victory Saturday afternoon against Liberty. Tiller earned Southern Conference Defensive Player of the Week, CollegeSportsReport.com Division I-AA Performer of the Week and I-AA Defensive Player of the Week from The Sports Network. The awards are all firsts for Tiller, but fellow Buccaneer defensive back Allen Davis (Mullins, S.C.) won SoCon Defensive Player of the Week earlier this season on Sept. 15. Only one other ETSU player has won a national player of the week honor, as former safety Adam Walton earned Defensive Player of the Week from Don Hansen's Football Gazette in 1996. On Liberty's second possession, Tiller stepped in front of a Gus Condon pass at the 31-yard line of the Flames and returned it for a score. It was the first return for a touchdown in Tiller's collegiate career, but his day was far from done. As the momentum of the game started to shift toward the Flames with the score 27-17 in favor of the Bucs, Tiller again made a huge play that essentially put the game out of reach. In almost an identical play to his first interception of the afternoon, only on the opposite side of the field, Tiller stepped in front of a short J.R. Barley pass and raced into the end zone for a 27-yard score to ice the game. Tiller's first two touchdowns of his collegiate career give the Bucs five defensive touchdowns on the season. ETSU has scored 10 times on defense since the last defensive score by an opposing team on Oct. 28, 2001. Tiller has four interceptions on the season, leading the Southern Conference and giving him 12 in his ETSU career. He is also the active SoCon leader in career interceptions. The Bucs return to action on Saturday afternoon as they travel to face SoCon rival Furman. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. from Paladin Stadium.

The Future of Energy Management
This article originally appeared in the May/June 2006 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
May 01, 2006
Computers, wireless technology, and the Internet bring advanced energy management to multifamily buildings built more than 30 years ago.
The integration of information technology, building controls, and property management has already been well established in expensive commercial buildings. Residential applications may seem further away, but early pilots suggest that there is great potential.Wireless and Web-based technologies have made possible verifiable nighttime temperature setbacks, gradual temperature reductions, customized scheduling, peak-demand limiting, and peak-demand response, with historical documentation and good resident acceptance. The organization that we work for, the Association for Energy Affordability (AEA), recently completed a demonstration project using a new wireless energy management system.The system brings information technology concepts to energy management and offers community weatherization agencies a role as project sponsors and providers of energy monitoring and reporting services. This is AEA's second pilot of the control system for electric baseboard heating. Two more pilots are ongoing in other multifamily buildings using a similar technology platform for decentralized A/C control. The Project The demonstration project reviewed in this article is a large, low-income multifamily complex in Far Rockaway, New York, called Ocean Village. Built in the 1970s, the complex of 1,100 apartments is outfitted with baseboard ...

"Terrific Tooth Fairy Box"
By Amy M.
Comments: We bought this for our 7-year-old daughter who lost her first tooth. She was so excited! The raised image of the Tooth Fairy and the moon is beautiful. She especially liked the personalized touch of her name engraved on the attached star. Although it is a bit tough for little hands to open it is very secure and keeps the tooth safe. I think it would make a great gift!
By Deb
Comments: This is a very cute idea. I bought it for a friends new little baby girl. It is very classy and will be a great keep sake for her to have all her life. What a great idea and makes it easy for mom or dad (Tooth Fairy) to find the tooth under the pillow. I highly reccomend. Recieved it promptly after ordering.

Manning also has more than 1000 more yards in that stretch. Matt Moore didn't even average 200 yards a game. You won't win many games and even fewer against quality teams with that pedestrian of a number....unless you have the 2000 Ravens D,,,,and we don't. Moore's numbers are very miss leading
Eli won a SB, Moore didn't.
In there head to head match-up, Eli led a 4th quarter comeback victory. Moore took a lead into the 4th quarter and lost it by himself by leading the offense to 1 first down and 4 total yards (accurate stat, look it up)
There is no comparison. One guy is a career back-up. The other is going to Canton
I'm tired of hearing about Super Bowl wins. The team won the Super Bowl. By the philosophy that some of you use, every Super Bowl winning quarterback holds an argument that they are better than Marino. I'm not arguing that Moore is better that Manning, or anyone else. I'm just sick of the qb getting all of the credit for one particular game, or even the journey it took to get there. To me, that argument shows how few people there are out there that even understand the definition or concept of the word "teamwork".
whats the difference if we start arguing about manning being better than moore, or the giants being better than miami.... really? either way, we are going to end up with the same team/qb being superior... NYG..
Maybe you should actually sit back and relax before playing devil's advocate to defend someone who is blindly defending the team.
Manning also had a better offense than Moore.
Let just hold on until end of this season before we crucify Moore. I do believe he may indeed be a top 10 QB so this it for Moore. Hopefully he'll grab this opportunity and never look back.

Mars Curiosity Makes a Startling Discovery on Mars.
My latest animation. Hope you guys enjoy it.
Thanks in advance.
Re: Mars Curiosity Makes a Startling Discovery on Mars.
I like the production quality of your videos and enjoy watching them. The clean simple graphics and color make them visually appealing. Periodically the humor or some other aspect of the story doesn't quite get through or communicate effectively enough, but they're aliens so how would they think. Maybe a scene will linger a bit longer than it should and I think a little more efficiency in this area is something to consider. Still they're fun regardless. All in all you're doing a great job with these shorts. Looking forward to more.

Re: Mars Curiosity Makes a Startling Discovery on Mars.
As an amateur animator, I can only say that I find it extremely entertaining. The coloring looks beautiful with its variety of colors. The sound effects are made to fit the situation. Which tool do you work? More of this!
Re: Mars Curiosity Makes a Startling Discovery on Mars.
Thanks for the great feedback Charles. I do still need to work on my timing and humor and how it comes across. I will continue to learn and improve. Thank you.

If you could advocate for ONE cause only, what would it be? Why?
Recently, I watched Faith Jegede's talk titled "What I've learned from my autistic brothers". The talk got me thinking -- Most of us have a cause we believe in, and these causes are usually diverse from increasing fashion consciousnes to saving the animals or reducing stigma of people with mental health issues.
I'm interested to know about the cause you believe in and the one you would advocate for. I'm interested in why this particular cause is important to you, and why the world needs to know about it.
Nov 15 2012: Freedom
The one thing humans have been fighting for since the beginning.
The one endangered species that is fast disappearing.
The one thing all people have been given by birth, by the act of birth.
The one thing that virtually all leaders everywhere want to destroy or take away.
That should tell you something about how important it is.
It is more important than just about anything else.
It was a concept that drove others to risk everything in their attempts to try and reach the promised land that the world knew for the first time as America.
America is now almost gone. The land remains. The liberties don't.
The space is there, but the movement is restricted, followed, tracked, surveilled, noted and filmed.
The toys are too but they are merely machines to spy with.
The polarization is still there, just not North and South.
It is Fascism or Freedom fighters.
It is business as usual and most vaguely agree with this because it is a sound byte, etched and cemented into the public's psyche.
Only it is prison business as usual.

Nov 15 2012: I stand firmly behind equality under the law for ALL adults - regardless of color, gender, wealth status, ethnicity, religion, or any other artificial division that separates us from being able to come together as community.Nov 19 2012: interesting conversation, anne. I still wonder if respect is the basis. For example, I read that one of the reasons Germans did the Holocaust is because they wanted the wealth the Jewish people had, the possessions and money. I'm thinking the germans respected the jews (even though they said they didn't), they just looked for an excuse to take the Jews' stuff.
- +1
If someone appears to be disrespecting you, they may be looking for an excuse to take your stuff.Nov 18 2012: anne, I googled "organization promoting respect," and I found that there are some orgs promoting respect. If you wanted to promote respect through an org, maybe you could get involved with one of these. Some of these orgs focus on childhood education, teaching kids respect.
if you can't find one of these orgs that you like, there's obviously a million issues to work on, and they all involve respect. For example, a pacifist organization tries to get people to not make war, and I'm sure one of the ways they do it is to promote respect.
Nov 20 2012: Thanks for letting me know about organisations that promote respect! They sound interesting. I agree about the million issues to work on! I definitely support a few causes and try to promote respect through these causes, although it may not be their main focus.Nov 16 2012: I'm already advocating for many causes. The one that matters the most is less noise in the environment. For example, I've lived in apartments where my next-door neighbor played loud music, and it came through the walls into my apartment. It was very disturbing, and I could not think, all I could hear was the music.
Anne, your syntax is funny because you ask what cause people would advocate for, what do you mean "would advocate for"? Do you not think people are already advocating for the causes they believe in? In my case, for example, I have often gone next door and asked my neighbor to turn the music down.
What cause matters most to you? Are you already advocating for it? If not, why not?
Nov 17 2012: I assumed Ann meant that people tend to stand for and work toward several goals or causes that are meaningful to them and that she wanted to know which they would pick if they had to abandon the rest.
Anne N
Nov 17 2012: Hi Greg, I didn't realise that the question could be interpreted in such a way, but after rereading my question, I understand your point of view. Also, thanks for clarifying what I meant, Fritzie! I did mean to say that people often advocate for and/or believe in many causes, but I was interested to know which cause they would choose if they had to abandon the others.
- +1
The cause that matters most to me is a mutual respect between people regardless of factors that may separate them. To treat others the way one would want to be treated and to not intentionally harm anyone either physically or emotionally. To respect one another as well as one another's dreams and beliefs.
I don't mean that people have to agree with one another. Rather, they should respect one another. I think the world would be filled with less arguments, and that more children would be able to chase their true passions and goals from a young age instead of having their dreams disrespected. Having said that, many people do practice mutual respect. It's also sometimes difficult to practice mutual respect.
I would say that I do not advocate for mutual respect per se but I practice respecting others in my daily life and hope/ am happy when others show me the same courtesy.
Nov 17 2012: Well, that's all well-said, Anne. But if you're identifying it as an issue, it must mean you see a lot of disrespect in the world. Where do you see it, or where do you identify it? I think I generally see people respecting one another but disagreeing. Or sometimes I see people on a power trip, like person A respects person B but person A would like to hammer person B down so person A can feel superior.
if you're practicing what you believe, then I think you're advocating for it. Do you find in your daily practice of respect that it's hard, that you sometimes have to fight to respect someone, or fight to get their respect? Because usually when we advocate for something we're saying we have to fight for it, that it doesn't come freely.
Do you wish you had a cause that you could fight for in a larger sense, like do you wish you could join an organization like save the whales? Because I'm thinking the cause of mutual respect might be too vast, and subjective. It's an issue that shows up in every other issue, so it's too vast; and it's a little subjective because respect to one might not be to another. Maybe you need to find a specific issue, like animal rights, or women's rights, or..........? The issue of mutual respect could be related to civil rights, like if we're racist we're not showing respect. What are civil rights like in Singapore, is there a tolerance of different races and religions?
Nov 19 2012: Thanks, Greg. Well, I would say that I don't see a lot of disrespect in the world per se, but I feel that practically every issue partially stems from some form of disrespect which is why I chose it as the cause that is most important to me.
Good point about how two people may respect one another but hammer one another down on power trips. More often than not, I feel that this can be attributed to disrespect of each others' opinions though. However, as you pointed out, mutual respect is indeed subjective!
I identify disrespect in other ways as well. For example, I feel that groups of people are often stigmatised because they are disrespected and the disrespect comes in the form of others thinking they are unable to take care of themselves/ less smart/ more cruel/ etc. I guess you could say that I think stigma is built partially on disrespect.
In my daily practice of respect, I do not find it difficult to gain respect most of the time. Mainly because I find that when one respects others, others tend to respect oneself. There are of course, times when respect is hard-earned or hard to give. I believe this usually comes about because of a difference in values. In this case, I usually try to stop myself from thinking that I am right and the other person is wrong. Perhaps we're both different kinds of right/ wrong.
In Singapore, I do feel that people are largely tolerant and accepting of different races and religions. For example, people often have groups of friends consisting of people of different races and religions and we often discuss one another's cultures so as to be more culturally aware. People in Singapore often invite one another to celebrate each others' festivals/ holidays together as well.Nov 16 2012: Peace.
I live in Afghanistan and I have been living in war since I came to this world. I want to stop it.Nov 16 2012: "Donate to fusion energy research!"
Successful fusion energy would lead to global energy independence, world peace, an end to world hunger, and increased quality of life for just about everyone. The lack of abundant free energy is the bane of human existence!Nov 15 2012: Civil rights come first. No other good cause can exist without it.
World Peace without civil rights is totalitarianism.
Security without civil rights is fascism
Health without civil rights is slavery.Nov 15 2012: World peace. Because we need it.
PS: We = humanity.
Nov 19 2012: Why do you think humanity needs world peace?
What do you envision in a world that is completely at peace? :)
Nov 19 2012: The world as it is, can not be completely at peace.
Just as the world as it is can not be totally crime free, or free from people who would cheat in relationships.
But excellence or perfection should always be set as the ideal worth pursuing. There would always be criminal elements, but societies are to encourage crime-free campaigns; there will always be cheating husbands/wives, but spouses still expected and strive for faithfulness. Not all sprinters would win olympic medals but they have to set their sights of becoming the best.
World peace is a laudable pursuit.
Hopelessness and mediocrity has hardly ever solved problems or made the world a better place.Nov 19 2012: The world as it is, can not be completely at peace.

Willie Geist will no longer have to be at work way too early.
The MSNBC personality will join Al Roker and Natalie Morales as a host of the 9 a.m. hour of the "Today" show and contribute to the program during its first two hours, NBC News said.
Geist has been a regular on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" and host of that network's 5:30 a.m. Eastern newscast, "Way Too Early."
He'll turn over the early newscast to another host but still appear on the 6 a.m. hour of "Morning Joe."
"It's the 'Today' show, arguably the most iconic brand in news television," Geist said.
"It's kind of an easy question to answer when you say why do you want to go there. Because I want to play for the New York Yankees."
The third hour of "Today" has started an opening segment where the hosts banter about some of the day's top stories, similar to the "hot topics" on "The View" or the chats Regis Philbin had at the beginning of his show.
"There is a sense of just loosening up the show a bit," said Geist, son of CBS News reporter Bill Geist.
"I think that by having me there they hope I can bring a little more of that in terms of a sense of humor and a different point of view."
Geist, 37, spent several years behind the scenes in television for jobs at CNN and Fox Sports. He began getting on-air time as a producer for Tucker Carlson who came out to talk with the host at the end of his MSNBC show.
Joe Scarborough brought Geist on when he started "Morning Joe" five years ago.
He's done some fill-in work for "Today" in the past. He joins the bench of potential replacements for Matt Lauer when the "Today" host decides he wants to sleep later in the morning.
Geist quickly batted down that idea. "He's the best that's ever been in that job and he'll be there as long as he wants to be," he said.
"Today" has had a tough stretch in the ratings recently, losing its long-held dominance to ABC's "Good Morning America."
Geist's new job begins Nov. 12.

we just received these on Friday: from http://www.christmaslightsetc.com/p/Poinsettia-Glass-Candle-Holders---Set-of-3-Christmas-Dinner--20394--865.htm
They are 3 different sizes - the tallest is 16"H. Of course we had to use them once before storing for the summer. The lights reflected off the crackled glass and through the red poinsettia design, so we are very happy. Strong and sturdy candleholders with large openings and room for pillar candles

ipf8300 print head
November 19, 2012, 08:28:00 PM »
Hey folks,
I'm about 2 years into my ipf8300 and while I've not printed a ton I've certainly put the thing to regular use (total print area is 1,983sf). My images have just recently started looking very magenta in people and cyan in things that are supposed to be green. when I print a nozzle check the yellow boxes are crisp but faint. It's really hard for me to say if they're more or less faint than they should be since the yellow ink doesn't really stand out to begin with. Careful scrutiny under bright lights reveals that the yellow nozzle check pattern is regular (not faint/smudgy in the middle). The canon tech has suggested that I need a new print head because I'm not getting enough yellow ink out. Before I drop several hundred dollars I'm wondering a few things....with a workflow that is otherwise unchanged on an unchanged system have you had anything like this happen?
Also, I see some ads for 3rd party head cleaning kits, anyone ever try one?
I'm two A clean and two B cleanings in and not much has changed, I've now got the latest firmware, latest driver and an updated plugin....any other ideas?
While I'm at it, the canon rep says they go by the dot count. my left head says 170,300...give me an idea, is this a normal expiration point, way early, late?
Many thanks

First of all you can do some head cleaning to see if that helps you.
Second, you can use calibration adjustment on your printer menu to calibrate your printer back to the factory standard.
Third, do you use custom profile or downloaded profile? If you can make your profile, why don't you just make another one to see if there's any improvement.

The yellow pattern is normally very faint and hard to see, I think it's a little easier to read by looking at the reflective difference on glossy paper.
Where do you get the dot count number? I recall one of the techs told me the life expectancy was about 1 trillion dots, or 10^12 dots. I think the dot volume is 4 picoliters, or 4 x 10^-12. That works out to 4 liters life expectancy, which is a number I have heard bantered around elsewhere.
I had one head go over 10 liters, but the others were more in the 3 to 5 liter range, based on the "Total Ink Consumed" in the accounting tab. Have only replaced the left head once.
On your previous post I mentioned all my magenta nozzles konked out and then came back. Well, the next day they were gone again and this time I could see magenta contamination in the lighter photo magenta pattern. That's all the tech needed to hear, he immediately sent me a replacement head, free overnight, with a return label for the old head. Problem solved.
Did your tech offer a free replacement? I have replaced a few heads on my 20,000+ sq foot machine. All were supplied free by Canon, although I bought one additional one so I would always have an instant spare. I'm just under 700 days, so maybe the free ride is over at two years. Or maybe they give preferential treatment to high volume ink addicts.
All I can think to do short of replacing the head is run a profile. On iccview.de check it for symmetry and bizarre bumps or holes. You can use a manufacturer's canned profile as a reference. Run another one a day or two later, then compare those two on iccview to see if there's some sort of trend going on.

I've done several head cleanings, both a and b
dot count is printer info-> head info-> whichever head you want. it's listed in Mdot which I'm not sure if that means thousands or millions, if it's traditional printing industry I'd take it to be thousand so mine is actually 170,000X 1,000 - which still isn't near enough. if it's 4 liters then maybe, I think I'm on my third set of 300ml tanks.
tech didn't offer a free replacement. they replaced the right head at 14 months but I'm right at 2 years and they said I'd have to buy one. I wish Canon assigned pro's a referral number, I swear I sell a canon rebel system once a month and a 7d every other month from "what do you use, what should I buy" questions from my customers.
I've printed a handful of color profile reference targets and see the same craptacular magenta shift. tomorrow I'll try upgrading from photoshop cs5 to 6 (which I've been meaning to do.
tech suggested I try to restart my printing system too, gotta figure out how to do that and I'll try.

A reasonable diagnostic might be that if the problem evolved slowly, it's like to be a hardware problem. A sudden, fully blow appearance is more like a software issue.
For laughs, here's the quick 400 patch profile I ran just after I first noticed my particular issue. There's actually a wormhole from one side of the hull to the other! Did not bode well for color quality. I wrote it off to the fact that my i1 system is severely challenged by glossy canvas, but I should have paid more attention.

Did your tech offer a free replacement? I have replaced a few heads on my 20,000+ sq foot machine. All were supplied free by Canon, although I bought one additional one so I would always have an instant spare. I'm just under 700 days, so maybe the free ride is over at two years. Or maybe they give preferential treatment to high volume ink addicts.
Sounds very familiar to what a friend with several Canons did experience over the last 5 years, so he ordered the iPF9400 last week to replace an iPF9000. It will work along with an iPF8300 and some iPF5100s. No complaints on Canon service as there is a lot of paper and ink going through those printers.

for anyone who cares,
at this stage I've reset my printing system - WAY easy, option click on the menu of printers in print and fax - I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything canon (all updated). I've upgraded to photoshop cs6, I've done 2 a cleanings, 2 b cleanings and what feels like a few hundred yards of test prints. I downloaded a couple color target charts and printed them and the ones with people everyone looks too magenta. My right print head has shown a slight variance in the nozzle check on the lower right black box from the begingin but the first two techs wrote that off because the problem seems to be that I'm not getting enough yellow. Today's tech said she's sending a new print head and it's absolutely the problem. The odd thing to me is that the right print head has been replaced once before and the left is original to the machine. hopefully the case is that I'm not geting enough black and there's nothing wrong with the yellow. We'll see when the fedex guy gets here.
thanks for your help so far.

I have 2 ipf8300 and I can tell you that canon has some issues with there print heads and the inks, I have replaced 6 print head in a two year time span
Canon is trying the resolve these issues in the ipf8400 with newer heads and different ink formula that why the ipf8400 uses new inks. I can tell you that I would not be surprised to see a class action lawsuit. This is unacceptable. I have a left print head out today; lets see if canon replaces it? lucky number 7

iPF8400 uses the same ink - and many iPFx300 users reported, that Canon supplied free replacements after head failures.
In my iPF8300 both printheads are doing fine after >1,5 year of rather frequent use. I suggest to update iPF8300 firmware to newest v1.26, keep it on all the time, print regulary, and check humidity.

kept on all the time the printer will clean itself when it needs, eliminating clogs from non-use.

Canon print heads have a 1 year warranty. We have two 8300's and print on them all day long 5 days a week. The heads usually last about 8-10 months then when it goes bad canon sends us a new one overnight for free. If you don't print very much you should just purposely damage the print head every 10 months to get a new one for free. However I'm not suggesting this would work or canon would not catch on.

Canon printers will keep the nozzles "primed" while on by using minute amounts of ink. this will extend the life of the heads.

Our ipf 6100 is kept in sleep mode. Because I have my desk next to it I see what it does: every so often it wakes up and the screen says "checking nozzles", :Agitating", and "Checking temperature and humidity".
With the latter it is likely that when dry air is seen by the printer, it does it's nozzle routine more frequently.
In five years of moderate use I have never done a nozzle check before printing. Once the machine did one automatically after having been off for a month. I regularly do a calibration, which guarantees every color is used, as the weekly print.

....when the ipf8300 was first released it used a different ink formulation....and the ink carts were "PFI-x04" it wasn't until later that the new formulation was released as "PFI-x06" cartridriges. Both types are still available and the IPF8300 lists the x04 and x06 as compatible to it.....BUT the IPF 8400 only lists the "x06" ink cartridges as compatible to it.

It isn't a different ink formulation - both x04 and x06 contain the same LUCIA EX pigment ink. The only difference is that x06 carts for Asian market won't work in EU/US printers, and x06 carts from EU/US market won't work in printers from Asian market.

To make your yellow pattern easier to see, pick up a flashlight with a blue lens or blue LEDs. This makes the yellow stand out much better when you hit the nozzle pattern with the blue light.

After 3 1/2 years I had to replace the left head in my IPF 8300. It had less use than the right head (I don't remember the count). As others have said, I think less use is more often the cause of failure than over use. Still, I appreciate the fact that it was easily user replaceable, and I was back up and running in no time.

I've just had to replace the right head in my iPF8300 for the second time in 18 months, following an earlier service at which both were replaced by the technician (possibly unnecessarily - the root cause of the problem at that time may well have been a faulty data cable, see thread elsewhere). The first replacement right head failed at around six months, this one at a further 350 days or so, both with the same issue of 'echoes' in the nozzle check - i.e. a second set of fainter vertical lines offset from the main lines in one or more channels.
There was no obvious visible degradation in print quality, and the printer's routine nozzle checks did not report any errors, but some profiles I attempted to make last week were full of 'wormholes', inversions and jagged spikes, which is what first made me run a manual nozzle check.
The left head is now 556 days old and has a similar if less visible issue in the yellow channel. I also found a previous nozzle check (date unknown) which on close inspection showed a similar echo in this channel that I had previously missed, which leads me to think this head has also had undetected problems for some while.
The head usage figures are 91 Mdot for the right head and 189 Mdot for the left; the UK suppliers have agreed to replace the right head under warranty (it was fortunate that I found the problem just before the 365 days were up), but won't do anything about the left head as it is now over a year old, despite the low usage figure.
The printer is left on to do its own routine maintenance, is used regularly if not heavily, is kept very clean and is protected with a dust cover when not in use, etc etc. I am beginning to have serious doubts as to the longevity of these heads, and Canon or their agents in the UK do not appear disposed to offer any concessions in respect of early failure, contrary to reports I have read of their more helpful attitude elsewhere.
The lesson seems to be to keep track of the head age and to check very carefully in sufficient time before the year is up to claim a warranty replacement if necessary.

How do you sleep at night? Would you honestly consider purposely damaging a print head so you can get a free replacement? Have you no shame?

Al's Past Treasures
I have had many boxes that have had inlays of wood but never one with all this inlay of fine brass strands. It is not wire but actually very fine rectangular shaped. It is completely covering the cover as well as the four outside sections of the base. Except for the base insert it is made of one solid piece. The top is also notched out of a solid piece. The cover has a 6" section of one strand missing on the outside edge of the right side and bottom right corner...
Al's Past Treasures
Very attractive small black lacquered wooden box with gold floral design. It is signed on the inside of the top lid "Chantilly". I am not sure if this is a box that was used to house the Chantilly Perfume Products or not but it would make a very attractive vanity piece. Measures 7.5" x 4.25" x 1". In excellent condition. See all the many other great listings I have for your consideration and check out my testimonials of what past customers have said about me.

Weak plastic wheels
Written by: Bryan
Miðvikudagur 22 Október 20142/5
Wheels warp very easily, which cause the tire to pop out the side. The wheels are a cheap plastic. And only a one year warranty. Had to spend $150 on new tire and wheel sets all the way around. Also the wheels say inflate to 22 psi while the tires say 36 psi?? Be sure to inflate to 22, not 36, or your wheels wil warp and deform. Once this happens you will need to buy new ones, and they are only sold in a set (tire, wheel, and tube together) so have to pay a fortune to fix.
A design flaw??
Written by: Hannah78
Miðvikudagur 01 Október 20144/5
This was the third inner tube and tyre I've needed for my Explorer pram and the second actual wheel. The Explorer has been a terrific pram but the front wheel has been a real pain even though we have been careful always not to overinflate the tyre and we are by no means rough with our pram; we use it in an urban setting. It's like the plastic of the actual wheel doesn't grab tightly enough to the tyre allowing the inner tube to bulge and dislodge the tyre, subsequently causing damage to all three parts! Here's hoping it's third time lucky with this one?
Doesn't fit Explorer model
Written by: Phil
Laugardagur 02 Ágúst 20141/5
Axel didn't fit into my stroller frame. Compared it to my original axel and it was longer thus why it wouldn't line up with the pin. Ended up having to put the new tire onto my old axel. Waste of money. Should've just ordered a new "rear" tire had I known better.
