Almost professional printer.
Great printer. I own two at the monent. Just in case of ink -pad problems which can happen with age.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: used | Sold by: ronlew671
happy when I found it, pleased when I installed it,delighted when I used it
If you want to reduce your printing cost to less than 1p per page get this EPSON PX720WD wireless multi function printer and convert it to a ciss (continuous Ink System) and save a fortune on your printing ink costs. Fed up with high ink costs, & the need to keep having to locate & install new cartridges . Even if your printer has separate colour cartridges every time you fit a new one most printers will self-clean and waste loads of ink from all of the cartridges . Throw in the need to fit it in a confined space , a front paper loading & front exit tray, fast top quality printing , scanning / copying , easy Ciss setup ..this ticks all the boxes. If you are unhappy about doing the Ciss conversion (& probably throwing away your warranty) Even if you continue to use standard cartridges this is still an excellent multi-function printer with comparatively low running costs. If however you are concerned about all the old cartridges going to landfill and the vast sums that you could be squandering the environmentally friendly ciss alternative is the icing on the cake..Not convinced go to your local cartridge supplier get the price of a set of 6 cartridges and multiply that by 80(Eighty)..thats how much more ink you get! And that is why I rate this printer as my best choice & one of easiest to carry out a ciss printer installation. So if you want really low cost quality prints get the Epson Stylus PX720WD Ciss version and get your costs per page to fractions of pence. Sorry can't tell you about the wireless bit but i'm sure it will work fine just haven't got good signal where this printer is forced to live!

Great Printer
Using Microsoft Windows 7 64bit Version.
Ok first, The delivery was amazing. Speedy or what, they got it to me just 2 days after dispatch.
Now i haven't been able to rate all its functions yet but here are some of the things i liked about this printer.
-Easy setup, instructions made it a breeze (however a bit long winded)
-Great picture quality especial on the Epson Premium Photo Paper
-Easily adjustable paper tray settings, also paper tray is tucked underneath without a big feeder sticking out
-CD printing tray also tucked inside, it pops out! like a tongue! from just above where the prints emerge
-Touch screen very intuitive and easy to navigate
-Ink cartridges easily accessible and installable
-A lot quieter than expected
-Brilliant software accompaniment, ABBYY FineReader is one of the funnest and useful softwares I've ever seen. It allows you to scan text (from almost anywhere,e.g. photos books etc.) and it converts it to text in your desired format. (includes Word, Excel, PDF, .rtf, .txt and more)
Now for the two bad points that i found.
-Toooo much packaging, i understand its better to be safe than sorry but there are so many pits of tape its unreal. I was afraid to turn the thing on encase i had missed one and it broke the printer! however after careful observation i finally found them all and removed them. (good thing they are blue and clearly visible, would hate to think how hard it would have been if they were clear strips)
-Easily set up through Ethernet cable however, and this might just be me, when i came to using the machine wirelessly it all worked fine apart from the scanner. The problem was the machine could see the computer but the computer couldn't connect to the scanner. After about an hour of trouble shooting and Googling i decided to try the Epson website. GOLDEN! the website was easy enough to navigate and found what i was looking for in less than 5 minutes.(just wish I'd thought to go there sooner)
For anyone encountering this problem, this is the fix.

Top print quality and build and compatible with a CISS.
I bought this printer for 2 reasons, firstly the Epson quality and secondly because of the CISS system that was sold with it. I wanted a all-in-one printer that could produce photo quality prints and wouldn't cost the earth to run. This I am pleased to say does it all.
Setting it up was relatively easy, and the software installation took about 15 minutes. The printer has a lot of features, many of which I won't use, but its there if I ever need it. It scans very well, and the print outs are very quick. Finally the Epson software supplied is actually quite good making it very easy to use.Read full review...
epson px series
epson px series is a good printer , i find it better than the new xp series as has automatic cd tray and holds more ink , faster start up and faster changing ink cartridges without all the print head messing about back and fourth like the xp series , printed 5 a4 photos before the xp series even started printing , its got all the same features of newer printers .Read full review...
Super quality all in one printer
All seems well after a couple of weeks, prints excellent quality photo's and is nice and easy to use! Only slight drawback is the size of it.
Best Epson printer I have used.
This is the best Epson printer I have bought. Easy to use and much faster than the DX4450. Excellent quality pictures.
Awesome product , Great value for money.
Best printer, so far. can print CDs photos, photocopy etc.
Quick printing, wireless very easy to configure.
Features 4 star because this printer does not support native Google cloud printing, But Google cloud print is limited to Google docs and apps etc. So that is not a big minus point.Read full review...
Recommend for those who want a good general all-round printer.
Excellent printer, easy to set up. Great print quality and good speed even for colour A4prints. Some good features form the software e.g. photo printing. A nice wee touch if you have children to create colouring in sheets from photographs. Wireless connection acn sometimes be bit hit & miss, largely depends where you are send the print from.Read full review...
Does everything I need of a printer
Does everything I need of a printer.Easy to set up, prints excellent photos, even does back to back. Can operate from memeory card without PC support and even lets you select areas of your photo for printing. Also allows multi photo page direct from card.
My only complaint is it can't handle 250 gm photo paper even when setup turns "thick paper" on.Read full review...

Research Summary
Dianne Newman's research focuses on understanding the coevolution of microbial metabolism and environmental chemistry. The contexts that motivate her research span ancient sedimentary deposits to chronic infections. Her work is helping to reshape interpretations of ancient molecular fossils as well as redox-active "secondary" metabolites.
Time has changed the Earth's geochemistry substantially, in large part through bacterial metabolic "inventions." A classic example is the evolution of the manganese cofactor of photosystem II, which enabled cells to produce molecular oxygen (O2) from water and thereby oxidize our planet. Prior to this invention, however, microbial life subsisted anaerobically for millions and perhaps billions of years. The advent of oxygenic photosynthesis and the subsequent accumulation of O2 in the atmosphere forever changed biogeochemical cycling on Earth. While my group has contributed to understanding diverse respiratory and photosynthetic processes involving metal(loids), in recent years we have focused our attention on two questions: (1) Can we utilize certain biomarkers in ancient rocks to trace when cells began producing or utilizing O2? (2) What strategies did cells evolve to survive in the absence of readily accessible O2 or other inorganic oxidants to fuel respiration?
As a geobiologist interested in the origin and evolution of the biochemical functions that sustain modern life, my work has focused on probing the coevolution of metabolism with Earth's near-surface environments. Guiding our approach has been the assumption that studying how modern microorganisms catalyze reactions of geochemical interest is vital to understanding the history of life. Moreover, because many biological microenvironments are hypoxic or anoxic, including those in chronic bacterial infections, this path of inquiry leads inexorably to insights about cellular electron-transfer mechanisms that potentially have profound biomedical implications. To illustrate this, I will describe two problems my group has been pursuing, and the new directions in which they are taking us.
Using the Present to Inform the Past: Interpreting Molecular Fossils in Ancient Rocks
Steranes and hopanes are organic compounds found in ancient rocks that have been used to date the rise of oxygenic photosynthesis. Because of their unique carbon skeletons, these molecules can unambiguously be recognized as molecular fossils of steroids and hopanoids (steroid analogs in bacteria), important constituents of cell membranes (Figure 1). While key steps in the biosynthesis of steroids require O2, hopanoid biosynthesis does not. Modern steroids and hopanoids are structurally diverse, yet only their carbon skeletons are preserved after diagenesis. Remarkably, the total amount of hopanes trapped within ancient rocks is thought to be roughly equivalent to the amount of organic carbon present on Earth today. One of the most important geostable hopanoid modifications is methylation at C-2, and molecular fossils of this type are called 2-methylhopanes (deriving from 2-methylbacteriohopanepolyols, 2-MeBHPs, in modern cells). Cyanobacteria—bacteria that engage in oxygenic photosynthesis—used to be considered the only quantitatively important source of 2-MeBHPs; accordingly, the occurrence of 2-methylhopanes in sediments that are 2.7 billion years old was taken as evidence that photosynthetically derived O2 first appeared on Earth at least that long ago. But because several independent geochemical proxies indicate that a major global redox transition did not occur until several hundred million years later, we decided, in collaboration with organic geochemists, to examine key assumptions underpinning the use of hopanes and steranes as O2 biomarkers.
When we began, although a considerable amount was known about steroid cell biology, what the O2 threshold necessary for steroid biosynthesis is—and the impact this value has on models of atmospheric oxygenation—was unclear. By carefully controlling the O2 available to our cultures, we found that steroid biosynthesis can occur with dissolved O2 concentrations in the nanomolar range. This low requirement helps explain the temporal decoupling between the sterane biomarker record of O2 utilization and the dating of a global redox transition: models of atmospheric oxygenation are consistent with the hypothesis that O2 could have cycled as a trace gas in the marine environment for millions of years prior to its atmospheric accumulation. Key to this discovery was our investment in the ability to culture diverse bacteria in hypoxic and anoxic environments where O2 could be precisely measured. This ability also enabled the isolation of Rhodopseudomonas palustris TIE-1, an anoxygenic phototroph that we serendipitously discovered could produce 2-MeBHPs in as great abundance as cyanobacteria under certain conditions.
Because R. palustris grows quickly and is metabolically versatile, we developed it into a model system in which to study hopanoid cell biology. We elucidated the biosynthetic pathway for diverse hopanoids, the transporter responsible for localizing hopanoids to the outer membrane, and the mechanism and conditions responsible for regulating 2-MeBHP biosynthesis. Our discovery that the C-2 hopanoid methylase (HpnP) is well conserved among all 2-MeBHP–producing bacteria allowed us to circumvent the problem of conditional 2-MeBHP production by using the hpnP gene to identify 2-MeBHP production capacity in other microbial genomes and metagenomes. This survey not only revealed that only a minority of cyanobacteria make 2-MeBHPs but also revealed that a statistically significant correlation exists in modern environments between 2-MeBHP production capacity and an ecological niche defined by low O2, high osmolytes, and sessile microbial communities. In modern environments, this tracks with microenvironments found in microbial mats, stromatolites, and the rhizosphere; relevant to the latter, the occurrence of hpnP is significantly enriched in the genomes of well-characterized plant symbionts.
Motivated by this new correlation, we have expanded our model system set to include Nostoc punctiforme and Bradyrhizobium japonicum, genetically tractable 2-MeBHP–producing bacteria with well-characterized plant partners. In parallel with our work in R. palustris, we are exploring the regulation of hopanoid production by these strains and how hopanoid production affects diverse phenotypes. This has required us to develop novel methods to detect and quantify hopanoids both in single cells and from lipid mixtures extracted from bulk cultures. Using these methods, we are systematically characterizing the membrane composition of diverse hopanoid-producing wild-type and mutant strains grown in vitro and in planta. These results are informing biophysical studies to test the effects of hopanoids on membrane fluidity, permeability, and curvature. Finally, in collaboration with chemical biologists, we are building a molecular toolkit to identify proteins and other biomolecules that interact with hopanoids.
It is now clear that while the O2 requirement for sterane biosynthesis is compatible with other proxies for dating the rise of O2, 2-methylhopanes cannot be used as biomarkers of O2 photosynthesis. Our new goal is to provide a better interpretation of sedimentary hopanes by gaining a deeper understanding of their modern counterparts. Do hopanoids facilitate plant-microbe symbioses in specific ways? With which other membrane components do they interact? What explains their phylogenetic distribution? Unlike steroids in eukaryotes, hopanoid production by bacteria is only essential under certain conditions, offering the possibility of using bacterial systems to explore fundamental questions of membrane homeostasis that are not as readily addressed in eukaryotes.
Using the Past to Inform the Present: Reconsidering the Function of Redox-Active "Secondary" Metabolites
While ancient rocks have motivated us to study the cell biology of hopanoids, they have also shaped our thinking about other small molecules and biological processes. For example, many bacteria live together in biofilms, communities of cells attached to surfaces. Despite their ubiquity—from the lungs of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, to medical implants, to the surfaces of rocks in sediments—we know very little about the rules of metabolism that sustain life in these habitats. Indeed, if we penetrate only a few microns below the surfaces of most biofilms, we encounter hypoxic and anoxic worlds. Bacteria living in these environments face the challenge of sustaining their metabolism under conditions where oxidants for cellular-reducing power are limited. Because the effectiveness of antibiotic treatment depends significantly on the physiological state of biofilm cells, it is important to understand how these cells sustain their metabolism. Can we gain insights into how biofilm communities survive today by better understanding anaerobic modes of energy generation?
Our entry into this problem came from considering how bacteria respire Fe(III) minerals, probably the most abundant and important terminal electron acceptors for ancient cellular respiration. Working first with the metabolically versatile bacterium Shewanella oneidensis, we demonstrated that it excretes small organic molecules that mediate electron transfer from the cell to mineral surfaces. Our results suggested that self-produced electron shuttles might be an important mechanism for mineral transformation by many different types of bacteria. By looking at their chemical structures, we inferred that certain redox-active antibiotics (e.g., phenazines and some glycopeptides) produced by common soil bacteria (e.g., Pseudomonas chlororaphis and Streptomyces coelicolor) and clinical isolates (e.g., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, an opportunistic pathogen commonly acquired in hospitals) can function as extracellular electron shuttles. We went on to show that this is indeed the case, and that they can be exchanged between diverse bacterial species.
Because of the rich history of Pseudomonas research, and the fact that it offered a well-defined and experimentally tractable system in which to study electron shuttling, we decided to focus on the phenazine molecules it produces (Figure 2). Most current literature emphasizes the role of phenazines as virulence factors that generate toxic byproducts (e.g., reactive oxygen species) when oxidized in an oxic environment. For this reason, phenazines are conventionally thought to be toxic to other organisms and are believed to provide the producer with a competitive advantage. However, because most phenazines can be synthesized under anoxic conditions and are often produced at concentrations below their toxic threshold, we hypothesized that their "antibiotic" activity might be a consequence of the geochemical conditions prevalent on Earth today, but not a reflection of their more basic functions.
In recent years, we have used P. aeruginosa strain PA14 to test this hypothesis in several ways. We have shown that (1) phenazines function effectively as electron shuttles to Fe(III), be it trapped in a mineral state or bound to proteins of the innate immune system, facilitating Fe(II) acquisition and signaling; (2) phenazines are signaling molecules, influencing the expression of a limited set of genes during the transition from exponential growth into stationary phase; (3) when respiratory oxidants (O2 or nitrate) are limited, phenazines modulate intracellular redox homeostasis; (4) phenazines permit survival under anoxic conditions by enabling flux through a fermentation pathway that produces ATP, enabling the generation of a proton motive force across the inner membrane; and (5) phenazines play a dramatic role in defining the habitable zone and morphology of biofilm communities, consistent with their other functions (Figure 3). We are working out the molecular pathways that underpin these phenomena by identifying and characterizing proteins that interact with phenazines intracellularly, as well as those that respond to changes in the extracellular environment stimulated by phenazines, such as the specific sensing of extracellular Fe(II) once it rises to low micromolar concentrations.
Motivated by these findings, we have become increasingly curious about whether phenazine redox cycling helps sustain Pseudomonas and other pathogens in complex chronic infections. To explore this, we chose the mucus accumulating on the lungs of CF patients as our test environment because it is expectorated daily and can be readily collected from patients. In collaboration with clinicians at Boston Children's Hospital and Children's Hospital Los Angeles, we have measured phenazine and iron concentrations (ferric and ferrous) in a cross-section of CF patients. Both phenazine and Fe(II) abundance exhibit significant positive correlations with disease progression. We now seek to understand how pathogens are coevolving with phenazine-mediated and other environmental changes in CF sputum, how quickly they are growing, and which metabolic programs are most important for survival. As we characterize the host environment and microbial physiology in situ, we can better design mechanistic experiments to gain insight into the specific cellular factors that promote survival as infections progress. This knowledge may one day enable the design of novel antimicrobial therapeutics that will be effective over a wider range of CF disease states. The approach we are taking is conceptually generic, and we hope to expand our work into other realms of chronic infections.

Church Loses Fight Over Sealed Papers
The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for the release of thousands of pages of sealed documents concerning sexual abuse by priests in the Catholic diocese of Bridgeport, Conn.
The court's decision Monday effectively lifts a stay that has delayed the release of the documents since 2006, when four newspapers persuaded a Connecticut court to unseal them.
The materials were filed in 23 lawsuits against the Catholic diocese by parishioners during the 1990s, alleging that the church failed to supervise its priests and reassigned those suspected of abusing children. The cases were settled in 2001, as the Catholic abuse scandal grew in national prominence.
The sealed documents are said to include transcripts of depositions of church officials, including Cardinal Edward Egan, and files from the investigation of priests accused of abuse during the 1960s and 1970s. A 2002 article in the Hartford (Conn.) Courant described some of the documents, which the newspaper said it obtained from sources it didn't name.
The other newspaper plaintiffs were the New York Times, the Boston Globe and the Washington Post.
A Connecticut judge scheduled a hearing for Nov. 9 on unsealing the documents.
The case demonstrates the diocese's failure to "take appropriate action to protect innocent children from priests that it knew to be sexual predators," Dan Sullivan, the co-chairman of the Bridgeport affiliate of Voices of the Faithful, an advocate for victims of sex abuse by clergy, said in a statement.
In an interview, Bridgeport's bishop, the Most Rev. William Lori, said the church had apologized and improved. "The Catholic Church today is one of the safest places your child can be, thanks to all the steps the diocese has taken," he said.
"Every employee, every volunteer, every member of the clergy undergo background checks," Bishop Lori said. "No one who abused a child or harmed a young person has been in ministry for 10 or 15 years."
Bishop Lori said the diocese was concerned "about the impact that these court decisions will have on our First Amendment rights, to determine who is or is not fit to become a priest, and that applies to all religions." The church has maintained it only released the documents to the plaintiffs under the promise that they would remain sealed.

Schemes for Re-Compressing MP3 Audio Bitstreams
This paper presents three schemes for re-compressing MP3 (MPEG-1 Layer III) audio bitstreams. The first two schemes are lossless ones, which exploit the inter-frame redundancies of the main data (the scale factors and the quantized MDCT coefficients) of the MP3 bitstream. The third scheme is a lossy approach, which exploit the redundancies between consecutive beat-patterns. The aim is to study the potential of the new coding schemes. Preliminary results are demonstrated in this paper.

Hey all, I'm currently working on a new virtualisation setup using Xen, and Centos for my workplace. We intend to deploy the domUs into LVM volumes. Currently, the only thing preventing this from working as smoothly as we'd like is the Kickstart script's insistence on partitioning. This is the relevant part from our current KS template (which I've been messing with):
# Partitioning
clearpart --all --initlabel --drives=xvda
part / --size=0 --grow --ondisk=xvda --fstype=ext3
This sets up a single partition and installs to it - which would be fine, but I'd prefer if there were no partitions, and installed directly to the existing LVM (so that we could then mount the LVM from the dom0 for backup and maintenance purposes).
It's possible I'm doing something wrong, and should be exporting the volume as xvda1 rather than xvda - which I'm more than happy to amend - but I'm still not sure how I'd navigate the Kickstart!
I'd really appreciate any help :). Cheers in advance!

While striving for equality, it came to my attention that Tom from Myspace is my perfect match (truly one made in heaven). In another move that will surely cause strife in the relationship, months ago my companion and I chose to compile a list of three people we could receive pleasure immeasurable from without any of the normal cheating consequences. Thus far, the only person I have seriously considered for my list is David Cross (unless you count my recurring Michael Ian Black/wedding cake dream as serious consideration) but I am hesitant to commit not being sure that David would be interested in the extreme pleasure that awaits him were he to be added to my list. The hard place is staring me in the face and I can feel jagged pieces of rock cutting into my back as I am faced with the decision of leaving David off the list and instead adding a young, hot computer mogul in his place, who may also lack the appropriate interest in pleasuring me. What is a girl to do? If only River Phoenix were still alive and possessed by Prince's spirit, equipped with Ramachandran's brain, and as skilled at rubbing as my presently obdurate partner - I would then only need one spot on my list.
UPDATE: The list is no more as I received a box filled with my belongings from my boyfriend (now ex) today. If you have a love of poker, sci-fi, endless rubbing (you rub me), games, intellectual pursuits, art, water, and the sun - I am newly single and an emotional wreck so let the dating begin!
UPDATE ON THE UPDATE: My nearly perfect ex-boyfriend has e-mailed me concerning reconciliation. As long as he does not mind being in a relationship with an extremely emotional and crazy yet regretful lady then I will extend an invitation for just that. Stay tuned for further updates.
FINAL UPDATE: Bungling boyfriend will fill the role of the future Mr. Zita. All rubbing is officially his duty now although I will continue to receive all due profile praise.
I am bombastic, droll, and impiously peccant

The Wrap
February 22 2013
Well, I'm guessing that we saw the bottom in all four precious metals during Far East and early London trading yesterday...as there was no price activity worthy of the name during the Comex trading session that followed. If I'm wrong, we should find out shortly.
But where we go from here...and how fast we get there...is the other $64,000 question without an answer as of yet. As Ted Butler has already pointed out...JPMorgan et al spent the entire engineered price decline buying back short positions and going long...as the technical funds were forced to sell their long positions, and have now loaded up on the short side.
Unfortunately, today's Commitment of Trader Report due out later this afternoon, won't show what happened during the final two days of this sell-off...as the cut-off for today's report came at the close of Comex trading on Tuesday. The crucial Wednesday and Thursday price action...the final capitulation to the downside...won't be included.
Here are the 6-month charts for all four precious metals. I found it very intriguing that 'da boyz' would set the low price in both gold and silver in Far East trading...and then do the same for platinum and palladium shortly after London open a few hours later.
For all those pundits bemoaning the state of GLD, I would like to point out that the situation is far different in SLV...and one has to wonder why that is the case...especially the deposits in SLV and the withdrawals in GLD during this price decline. If the precious metals were going lower in the long term, why would JPMorgan go to all that trouble of covering their monster short position in that ETF? The short positions in both these ETFs have been relegated to background levels...and are so tiny now, that they are of no significance.
Along with the recent frantic activity in SLV, there's the other matter that Ted Butler has been going on about for about the last two years...and that's the phenomenal churn in Comex silver. It's not happening in any other metal...and you have to ask yourself why that is the case. Ted thinks that "da boyz" are hand to mouth in silver...and I agree. I'd also bet serious money that most of these good delivery bars that have been arriving and departing the Comex in the last couple of years are picking up quite a few "frequent-flyer" points during their travels, because it's my belief that a significant portion of their journeys are by air, as almost all of U.S. silver production is ending up at the U.S. Mint.
There are lots of commentators out there that feel that a re-pricing of gold is inevitable...and I'm one of them. With the COT structure set up favorably once again, this may be used as an opportunity to let prices rip to the upside. However, I'm choked with caution, as we've been at a similar COT structure several times in the last fourteen months...and nothing of that sort happened, as JPMorgan et al poured back on the short side during the subsequent rallies in all the precious metals.
Will it happen this time? Beats me, but if I was the powers that be, this would be the sort of timing I would pick. As I and others have mentioned many times over the years, the world's economic, financial and monetary systems are circling the deflationary drain ever faster...and they all want some 'positive inflation' in the world's economies...and a re-pricing of the precious metals, whether by market forces or by decree, would be an important step in attempting to right over 40 years of monetary malfeasance. If there are any big changes forthcoming, I would expect them to happen quickly.

Cubic silicon nitride was synthesized from a mixture of hexagonal silicon nitride and copper powder in a cylindrical recovery capsule. It was shown that the synthesis occurred only in the region of the Mach reflection of shock waves near the axis of the capsule. A method of loading the material with ejection of the sample from the capsule into an airtight container was developed. As a result of loading, up to 20% of the starting hexagonal silicon nitride transforms to the cubic phase.

Bonus and Rebate: Perception of Exclusive GSM Dealers and Their Salesmen in Turkey
The aim of this paper is to study bonus and rebate for exclusive dealers in GSM sector in Turkey, for which operators and handset manufacturers provide special incentives to dealers for exceeding specific sales targets. They develop a theoretical model of dealers and manufacturer behavior based on observations about key aspects of the mobile phone market. The analysis provides important insights about sales bonus. For example, rebate is not preferred by the owners of dealers instead of bonuses. The authors find empirical support when they test the theoretical results.

All Rise...
Judge David Johnson is neither a saint nor a sinner. He's a Taurus.
Editor's Note
Our review of Sinners and Saints, published January 10th, 2012, is also available.
The Charge
A city under siege. A man with nothing to lose.
Opening Statement
On the surface, Sinners and Saints looked to be right in my wheelhouse: gritty violence, lone-wolf cop with anger issues, a team of mercenaries to systematically shoot in their dumb faces. And yet…
Facts of the Case
Sean Riley (Johnny Strong, The Fast and the Furious) makes his living getting into violent gunfights with the scumbags of the New Orleans. The captain of his precinct is starting to think Riley is off his rocker, considering the overwhelming number of corpses he's left in his wake. But before he gets sent to the department shrink, a more pressing matter arises: someone's running around the Big Easy burning people to death and Riley thinks the murders might be connected to a shady friend of his. Rogue security firm employees are on the loose, hunting for something incriminating, and it will fall to Sean and his new family-man partner to open fire and snuff out as many fools as possible.
The Evidence
I was pulling for this movie. There were more than a few elements in place that really appealed to me, but in the end Sinners and Saints fell victim to its own economy. This is a low-budget film and, thanks to some iffy acting chops and stylistic filming decisions, the good stuff loses its traction.
Since it's a New Year, let's ring it in with the positives before we start dropping deuces all over the place.
Johnny Strong is pretty cool.
The villains are detestable.
The action is hard-R and largely practical.
Now the downers…
The acting is terrible.
Director William Kaufman is over-eager.
Okay, fine…Upon further review, the bad guys are dumb-asses.
Sinners and Saints (Blu-ray) is given a highly-detailed 2.35:1/1080p widescreen transfer whose imagery is so clear it gives the film a weird Spartan feel. The visuals are joined by a suitably aggressive and enveloping 5.1 Dolby TrueHD mix, a lengthy making-of featurette, and some deleted scenes.
Closing Statement
Decent action and a cool antihero are swallowed up by mediocrity. Bummer.
The Verdict
Close, but no victory cigar.
Give us your feedback!
Did we give Sinners and Saints (Blu-ray) a fair trial? yes / no
What's "fair"? Whether positive or negative, our reviews should be unbiased, informative, and critique the material on its own merits.

To design, implement and evaluate a multisource feedback instrument to assess Foundation trainees across the UK.
mini-PAT (Peer Assessment Tool) was modified from SPRAT (Sheffield Peer Review Assessment Tool), an established multisource feedback (360°) instrument to assess more senior doctors, as part of a blueprinting exercise of instruments suitable for assessment in Foundation programmes (first 2 years postgraduation). mini-PAT's content validity was assured by a mapping exercise against the Foundation Curriculum. Trainees' clinical performance was then assessed using 16 questions rated against a six-point scale on two occasions in the pilot period. Responses were analysed to determine internal structure, potential sources of bias and measurement characteristics.
Six hundred and ninety-three mini-PAT assessments were undertaken for 553 trainees across 12 Deaneries in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Two hundred and nineteen trainees were F1s or PRHOs and 334 were F2s. Trainees identified 5544 assessors of whom 67% responded. The mean score for F2 trainees was 4.61 (SD = 0.43) and for F1s was 4.44 (SD = 0.56). An independent t test showed that the mean scores of these 2 groups were significantly different (t = −4.59, df 390, p < 0.001). 43 F1s (19.6%) and 19 F2s (5.6%) were assessed as being below expectations for F2 completion. The factor analysis produced 2 main factors, one concerned clinical performance, the other humanistic qualities. Seventy-four percent of F2 trainees could have been assessed by as few as 8 assessors (95% CI ±0.6) as they either scored an overall mean of 4.4 or above or 3.6 and below. Fifty-three percent of F1 trainees could have been assessed by as few as 8 assessors (95% CI ±0.5) as they scored an overall mean of 4.5 or above or 3.5 and below. The hierarchical regression when controlling for the grade of trainee showed that bias related to the length of the working relationship, occupation of the assessor and the working environment explained 7% of the variation in mean scores when controlling for the year of the Foundation Programme (R squared change = 0.06, F change = 8.5, significant F change <0.001).
As part of an assessment programme, mini-PAT appears to provide a valid way of collating colleague opinions to help reliably assess Foundation trainees.

The tracking polls seem to show the presidential race tightening. Rasmussen numbers released this morning show Barack Obama ahead of John McCain by only 50 percent to 47 percent--the narrowest margin in Rasmussen polls for more than a month and the first time McCain has been over 46 percent since September 24 (nine days after the collapse of Lehman Brothers and two days before the first debate). Gallup's tracking released yesterday showed McCain behind by only 49 percent to 47 percent on its traditional-turnout model but behind by a much larger 51 percent to 44 percent on its expanded model.
John Zogby's numbers yesterday showed a 49 percent-to-44 percent margin for Obama, considerably smaller than the one he had a few days earlier.
Against these numbers one must weigh polls in battleground states showing Obama doing just about as well as he has been since the financial crisis hit in mid-September. And the respected Pew Research poll shows Obama out in front by a whopping 53 percent to 39 percent. I'm reluctant to dismiss Pew as an outlier, but if you do, the realclearpolitics.com average of recent polls looks like Obama 49.6 percent, McCain 44.8 percent, a margin of 4.8 percentage points--the smallest Obama margin in RCP averages since September 30.
This sounds plausible to me. Hypothesis: The McCain "Joe the Plumber" high-taxes issue is having some impact. So are doubts, kindled by a typically verbose Joe Biden comment, about how Obama would handle an international crisis. Is this the beginning of a McCain surge? Possibly. It's beginning to look like something more than statistical noise. But it's hard to be sure at this point.

I bet the Fritzi fans are happy today.
je temp
They've got their love to keep them warm, silly!
I haven't been following the comments consistently — has there been any explanation of why Guy started drawing Phil as taller than Fritzi?
I mean, compare him from http://www.gocomics.com/nancy/2012/12/06
Have every comic strip kid have been seeing Calvin for his creepy snowmen ideas recently?
The snowman obviously doesn't have any brains. Otherwise, he'd be interested in something a little bit lower on her body. (Fritzi's rack comment. Are you happy, Susan?)
Looks like the snowman has its own rack!
(the "angry eyebrows" look like small antlers in Panel 1)
That sweater is maxed out!!
No luck here, one look at Fritzi in that sweater and the men (myself included) lose all evidence of having brains
Great eyes on the snowman, but I wonder where Nancy found those raggedy old oven mitts. At Sluggo's?
WOW! What a rack! (Gotta keep SUSAN happy.)
Calvin would be impressed with Nancy's snowman.
I really wonder what the so called adults with the minds of a ten your old do when not screwing up comics that are meant for lite fun reading do in their spare time. I think maybe make some appointments at a shrinks office as your really sick would be a plan. Or maybe read porno and leave this site to those of us that enjoy something with our your filth added to it.
The fact that Fritzi's wearing a sweater and not a coat should indicate that it's not that bad out and probably not cold enough to make a hat necessary. If there's no wind, I can actually go hatless even if the temp's in the 20s (that's the negative naughts for our metric-based friends).

The -Lede- Concept for the Control of Acoustic and Psdychoacoustic Parameters in Recording Control Rooms
An approach to the standardized control room is found in the "Live end-Dead end" (LEDE) technique. Desirable features include greatly increased spatial perception, psychoacoustic removal of directional clues from the semi-reverberant sound field, assurance of the generation of a suitable semi-reverberant sound field, and deliberate control of anomoly density and arrival time at the mixing engineer's ears. The result is an exceptionally neutral control room environment that allows precision judgments to be made at the mixing console that correlate remarkably with the sound field appearing between two microphones in the studio. Both theoretical considerations as well as actual user responses, will be discussed.

President Dmitry Medvedev will oversee agreements on energy and innovation in what Russia sees a "breakthrough" visit to Poland next week as the two historic enemies seek to improve ties.
Medvedev's foreign policy aide Sergei Prikhodko went further to say that Russia expects "very positive and even breakthrough results" from the two-day visit that starts Dec. 6, he told reporters in Moscow. "The two sides are ready to solidify the current positive tendencies in bilateral relations."
Medvedev, 45, will hold talks with his 58-year-old Polish counterpart Bronislaw Komorowski and Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw and lead a Russian delegation set to sign agreements on energy cooperation, sea transport and pollution in the Baltic Sea. Poland imports two-thirds of its gas supplies from Russia, and the two countries completed an agreement in October that will increase deliveries by as much as 38 percent.
Russian Energy Minister Sergei Shmatko and Alexei Miller, chief executive officer of gas export monopoly OAO Gazprom, will accompany Medvedev. Vagit Alekperov, CEO of Russia's second-largest oil producer, OAO Lukoil, and Sergei Kiriyenko, head of state-owned nuclear holding Rosatom Corp. will also join the delegation.
'Tea or Sugar'
"The Russians and Poles need to sort out their energy issues," said Krzysztof Bobinski, president of the Warsaw-based research foundation Unia & Polska. "Russia should just start treating gas as a product like tea or sugar and stop using it as a geopolitical weapon."
Gazprom and Poland's state-controlled distributor, Polskie Gornictwo Naftowe i Gazownictwo SA, or PGNiG, on Oct. 29 signed an agreement that will increase gas deliveries to Poland to 10.24 billion cubic meters by 2022 from 7.45 billion cubic meters under the previous contract.
PGNiG has repeatedly said it would seek lower prices from Gazprom after securing the long-term supply deal. Customers such as Dusseldorf-based E.ON Ruhrgas AG and Rome-based Eni SpA earlier this year obtained lower spot prices for the period through 2012.
"I don't exclude" that gas prices will be discussed next week, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski told reporters today in Warsaw. Radoslaw Dudzinski, PGNiG's deputy chief executive officer, said today by phone he "wouldn't rule out that the topic will be raised during the visit."
Arms Race
Next week's talks, which take place one day ahead of the Russia-European Union summit in Brussels, will also cover Poland's involvement in the U.S.-led missile defense initiative, Prikhodko said.
U.S. President Barack Obama in September 2009 canceled plans by former President George W. Bush to locate parts of a missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic in favor of a solution closer to Russian proposals for a joint system.
Medvedev, speaking in his annual state-of-the-nation address Nov. 30, said a new arms race could break out within the next decade unless Russia reaches an agreement with the U.S. and its allies on a joint missile-defense shield.
The U.S. sent a battery of Patriot missiles and their crews to northern Poland in May for the first stage of a rotating, two-year deployment. The Russian Foreign Ministry said at the time that the location of the missiles, about 70 kilometers (44 miles) from Russia's Kaliningrad exclave, wouldn't improve security or help build relations in the region.
After Crash
"Poland should have the best possible relations with its neighbors, so it's good Medvedev is coming," Bobinski said. "But a healthy sense of skepticism is necessary where Russia is concerned."
The leaders will also discuss the release of further documents on the 1940 slaying of 22,000 Polish officers and officials by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin's secret police in the Katyn forest and several other sites.
Relations between the two countries improved after an April 10 plane crash near Smolensk, in western Russia, that killed President Lech Kaczynski, his wife and 94 officials who were flying there to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the Katyn massacre. Medvedev braved a cloud of volcanic ash from Iceland that closed airspace throughout Europe to attend Kaczynski's burial in Krakow.
The State Duma, the lower chamber of Russia's parliament, late last month approved a text declaring that Stalin personally ordered the killings in 1940. The Russian General Prosecutor's Office has handed over more Katyn documents to Polish authorities, the Kremlin said on its website today.
Russia and Poland will also consider boosting investment projects. Russia holds $1.85 billion of investments in Poland, mostly in the energy industry, according to the Kremlin.
"For us, the 45 years of Communism imposed from the east were a deep national trauma," Sikorski said. "Now I think that 20 years after we regained our freedom, we're feeling more confident, and that's why normalization is possible."

Amazon.com Review
The terrific Elvis Cole series has grown through the years, each book better than the last, but nothing prepared me for the quantum leap (yes, it's a cliché, but it belongs here) that Crais has made with L.A. Requiem. It's not as funny as the other books in the series, but it's a beautifully plotted detective story, rich with police procedure, and it will keep even the most sophisticated reader at sea right until the end. And that's what elevates this book to the level of literature.
This one is more about Joe Pike, Elvis's silent sidekick, than it is about Elvis. We learn, through Pike's own eyes, how his childhood made him the way he is today. It's also about a friendship so strong that it threatens Elvis's relationship with his beloved Lucy. It is a tender but dark book--a serial killer book--but it doesn't attempt to outgross the other serial killer books on the shelf. It is funny at times and chilling at other times, making it one of the rare books that can't help but linger in the memory long after it's been read and put away. --Otto Penzler

Roman Battle TacticsBy: Lucas Fulle
1) Early Roman Tactics:
By 390 BC The Roman Empire's military tactics were in dire need of major reform. The soldiers and armies of The Roman Empire were fighting their opponents with outdated tactics and suffered defeats and losses because of it. Although the tactics that were incorporated by the Roman armies were, at one point, successful in fighting against the Greek Phalanx, they soon proved to no longer be effective in combat. One such example is in The Battle of Allia, where the Romans were completely defeated by the hands of the Gallic tribes. Through-out the next fifty years the Romans continued to fight Gallic and Italian tribes with these outdated battle tactics. These battles would most-often end in either a defeat or substantial losses on for the Roman armies. In ancient times, The Romans would gather in herd-like formations and simply charge at the opposing factions army and would fight until either surrender or defeat. Sensing a need for change, Roman military commanders began to reorganize the forces and institute new and more effective battle tactics.
2) Military Reform:
Of the many things that changed in the Roman military, the first to be renovated was the structure of the roman armies as a whole. Instead of just traveling and fighting in a large pack, many new divisions and organizations of troops were used under Caesar. At the lower tier there was the Contubernium that contained 8 men, a Centuria consisting of 10 Contubernium units. Then there was the Cohorts which contained a total of 480 men or 6 Centuries. Normally the highest tier of organization was the famous Roman Legion, this unit was made up of 10 Cohorts for a grand total of 4800 fighting men, along-side support and auxiliary units.
The next issue that was innovated and used by the first dictator of Rome, Caesar, was the actual tactics that the legions would use in combat. Some famous deployments are shown below:
In these battle formations, the troops in the blocks would be deployed into battle via triple-line system. What this means is that the roman forces would form 3 line of infantry; one behind another, this allowed for the soldiers to take a break or to start a retreat in desperate times.
3) The Battle of Alesia:
The Battle of Alesiawas one of the famous battles in which Caesar won during his campaign in Gaul and took place from September to October in 52 BC. The Battle of Alesia is a terrific example of the effective use of Roman military tactics in battle and combat. In this battle Julius Caesar and his 12 legions, with approximately 60,000 troops, laid siege to Alesia, which was under the control of Vercingetorix and his 80,000 men. Caesar fought the Gauls until his army lost a battle against Vercingetorix. From there the Gallic leader decided to avoid another battle with Caesar and retreated to the city of Alesia, then after Caesar rejected an invasion, began to siege the city. The Romans built walls and fortifications to prevent attacks from within the city and from relief forces. In late September of Commius lead a relief army to launch an attack on Caesar's outer walls while Vercingetorix attacked his inner walls; both proved ineffective and failed. The Battle was over when the Gallic leaders surrendered to The Roman Empire.

Critical Rating: AAAA
Genre: Gonzo
Considerably less fetishy and distinctive than previous volumes of this superb, AVN Award-winning line, Euro Domination 7 nonetheless is superior to a lot of other jack-off fodder. That's a tribute to how high a standard the superb Christoph Clark has set for himself.
Three of its four scenes feature fine Euro bitches getting energetically butt-banged in group settings. The fourth scene is a hot, but abbreviated girl/girler with a pair of Yanks, strap-on wielding Jada Fire and subby Julie Night.
Taken on its own, strokable stuff. Compared to other ED volumes, it feels almost rote.

Retailing: The series? past track record should sell this one.

I've got a problem filtering pages by searching a keyword.
I organized WordPress in this way: there are parent pages, in which I put "Hospitals", and their child pages, in which I put "Wards". I'd like to organize the search on the website separating "Hospitals" (parent pages) from "Wards" (child pages).
Code that filters only parent pages is: http://pastebin.com/mNUSz9iV but it doesn't work...


text: I've been reading the man page on gen_server and the section describing multi_call/2 states: "Makes a synchronous call to all gen_servers locally registered as Name at the specified nodes by first sending a request to every node and then waiting for the replies." Does this apply to gen_server:multi_call/2? If so, how can I register multiple processes on the same node with the same name? Thanks, Kevin

Um. ok. But I've been to Paris lots of times - and it's still Paris.
Hey Charles, what kind of tits are on this woman you speak of? Are they ripe? She wasn't too old was she?
Right because unsanitary, consumptive, overcrowded ghettos are preferable to well organized neighborhoods with broad avenues and open spaces?
The Baron Haussmann's transformations to Paris brought a real improvement to the quality of life in the Capital. Disease epidemics ceased, traffic circulation improved and new buildings were better-built and more functional than their predecessors. We could use a Baron Haussmann.
pinin' for the fjords, he is.
i have architect friends who think that the underside of the viaduct is the only real urban space in the city of seattle. they have a point, but it still sucks.
No, Max, they're right. As anyone from the grunge days could tell you, under the Viaduct was where it was happening.
You can't get more real than that.
