Ricoh SP 150 Free Driver Download
Ricoh SP 150 Printer Driver Download. The Ricoh SP 150 printer is a black and white laser printer that impresses with its design and excellent value for money. In addition, it is characterized by the high quality black and white prints and quiet operation. However, this model can not adequately print out either scanning or grayscale. In addition, it begins to smear for print jobs that consist of more than 50 pages. Therefore, this model can only be recommended to low-cost printers who work either at home or in a small office. The print speed and print quality from the Ricoh SP 150 printer. The maximum speed of this model is given as 22 pages per minute and the printer also demonstrates this in practice. The printouts are razor-sharp if the length of the job does not exceed 50 pages. For longer jobs, it can happen that you look greasy on prints. Therefore, it is recommended to take a break after 50 printed pages and let the device cool down.
Driver Download Ricoh SP 150 Printer Installer
For this Ricoh SP 150, the manufacturer did not use a separate drum or toner. Instead, an all-in-one cartridge is used. The cartridge that comes with the printer is sufficient for 700 prints. Replacement cartridges that can be easily ordered on the Internet cost around 50 euros and are enough for an average of 1500 pages, which corresponds to the average printing costs of 3-3.5 cents per page. Thus, the printer proves to be economical in practice. The dimensions of the Ricoh SP 150 printers are similar to those of an A4 sheet, so the user will not have trouble finding a suitable place. Getting started with the printer does not require lengthy configuration because the installation is done in steps that are very easy to follow.

It does not matter if the user has a Window PC or a MAC OS because the printer is compatible with both types of devices. After turning on the device, the printer only takes 25 seconds to get ready. When printing, the user can decide for himself if he only prints one or more pages per sheet. Two-sided printing is also possible, with the user having to fold the paper manually. Otherwise, the printer is controlled via the virtual and intuitive control panel, which does not cause even beginners any problems. What else should you know about the features of the Ricoh SP 150? Its paper tray holds 50 sheets and can be easily refilled. Just as easy is the replacement of the cartridge, because you just have to remove them and insert the new and lock.

Pomona Mayor Tim Sandoval said he plans on proposing a path to decriminalizing street vendors.
Sandoval said he will introduce a motion at Monday night's council meeting to ask staff to craft an ordinance that would regulate street vendors. The process would also include input not only from staff but from the public, he said.
Earlier in the month, city officials said they would implement a zero-tolerance stance, starting in July, to impound push carts. But the enforcement wasn't going to be limited to push-cart vendors, it would also target those who set up impromptu shops on city streets.
"There will not be a crack down," Sandoval said by phone Friday afternoon. "We don't want anyone living in fear of their livelihood."
Sandoval said he wants to revisit the city's ban on sidewalk vending after hearing concerns from the public this past week, mainly activists who were concerned the enforcement would target immigrants. In Rancho Cucamonga, an Ontario woman who was arrested was later detained by immigration officials.
Councilman Rubio Gonzalez said he heard from staff this week that the Code Compliance department has received about 100 complaints involving street vendors in the past year.
The city could possibly look to the cities of Santa Ana and Los Angeles as examples when drafting language for the ordinance, both Sandoval and Gonzalez said.
"We can look at what other cities have done and use it as a template as what's going to be best for street vendors and Pomona," Sandoval said. The goal, he said, is to devise a policy "that reflects our values and reflects a path to legalizing street vending."
The process will come with its challenges, Sandoval acknowledged. He said he is aware not everyone is in favor of his stance and the goal of the ordinance would be to set up a process that would attempt to address everyone's concerns.
Gonzalez said he joined Sandoval and council member Cristina Carrizosa at a meeting earlier this week at the Pomona Economic Opportunity Center to engage local activists in a dialogue on the topic.
"I hope they trust their elected officials and give us the benefit of the doubt," Gonzalez said.
He pointed out that this City Council, which is all Latino, passed an ordinance December 2017 supporting SB54, also known as the sanctuary state legislation.
Alvaro Huerta, assistant professor of Urban and Regional Planning at Cal Poly Pomona, commended city leaders for taking this approach. Huerta last week criticized the city and called on them to move toward regulating the industry.
"I think it's a positive move from city leaders," Huerta said. "When policy makers take action, that shows responsibility, maturity and helps build trust in the community."
As the city crafts its policy, Huerta said he would advise them against creating an ordinance that's too bureaucratic or too costly for the vendors. Pomona needs to remember that some of these vendors face language barriers and anything that establishes extensive rules can become burdensome for them, Huerta said.
"By trying to formalize the informal economy, everybody gets it wrong. You just push people to the margins, you marginalize them even more," he said, adding that he's open to giving the city input during the process.
"This is a moral issue, this is an ethical issue. It's not a legal or economic issue," Huerta said.

Fertilization involves sperm-egg interactions and is precisely controlled by many molecules within the gametes. After a sperm binds to the vitelline coat of the egg, it releases a lytic agent, lysin, which digests the vitelline coat and allows the penetration of sperm.
In order to understand the lysin system, we have been studying the fertilization mechanism in ascidians (Tunicata). We chose these organisms because large quantities of readily fertilizable gametes can be easily obtained from them. Although ascidians are hermaphrodites, releasing sperm and eggs nearly simultaneously, many ascidians, including Halocynthia roretzi and Ciona intestinalis, are self-sterile. Since vitelline coat-free eggs are self-fertile, the lysin system appears to be activated after a sperm recognizes the vitelline coat of an egg as nonself.
In H. roretzi, we have shown that two sperm trypsin-like proteases, acrosin and spermosin, are involved in the sperm binding and penetration of the vitelline coat. We have also found that an extracellular ubiquitin-proteasome system of sperm origin functions as a lysin. The target for the ascidian lysin was found to be a 70-kDa vitelline coat protein, HrVC70, which consists of 12 epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats.
We have demonstrated that HrVC70 functions not only as a sperm receptor but also as a candidate allorecognition protein during fertilization of H. roretzi. Several observations support this hypothesis. First, HrVC70 is attached to the vitelline coat during oocyte maturation, the process during which self-sterility is acquired. Second, fertilization is strongly inhibited by pretreatment with HrVC70 from a different individual, but not from the same individual. Third, the number of nonself sperm bound to HrVC70-agarose is higher than the number of self-sperm. Finally, HrVC70 is a highly polymorphic protein, showing several amino acid substitutions among different individuals. Our current research aims to identify the sperm ligand for HrVC70 and to elucidate the molecular mechanisms underlying self/nonself-recognition in the gamete interactions of this species.
In C. intestinalis, we recently succeeded in using genetic analysis, positional cloning and proteomic analysis to identify promising candidate proteins responsible for self/nonself-recognition during fertilization. Genetic analysis revealed that two genetic loci, which reside in chromosome 2 (A-locus) and 7 (B-locus), are responsible for self-incompatibility. Both loci contain highly polymorphic sperm polycystin 1-like proteins, which are referred to as s-Themis-A and -B, and highly polymorphic fibrinogen-like proteins on the vitelline coat, called v-Themis-A and -B. These proteins appear to play a key role in the allorecognition system. Interestingly, v-Themis genes reside in the first intron of s-Themis genes. From genetic analyses, s-Themis-A and -B appear to recognize v-Themis-A and -B, respectively. When s-Themis proteins recognize the corresponding v-Themis proteins as self-proteins, sperm must recognize the vitelline coat as self and detach from the vitelline coat. These results indicate that the self-incompatibility system of C. intestinalis has a similar framework to that of flowing plants but utilizing different proteins.
In addition to the studies of fertilization, we are also interested in the mechanisms of endothelial cell apoptosis and hemorrhage induced by snake venoms. We have purified and characterized certain ADAM-family proteins, vascular apoptosis-inducing proteins (VAPs), from snake venoms; these proteins have potent apoptosis-inducing activity. We recently succeeded in revealing the three-dimensional structures of these proteins. We are now focusing on the substrate specificity of the protease domain and the signal transduction pathways that function during VAP-induced apoptosis and hemorrhage.
Fertilization processes of the ascidian Halocynthia roretz
Working hypothesis on the self-incompatibility system during fertilization of the ascidian Ciona intestinalis.
If a sperm recognizes the vitelline coat as self, which is mediated by both interactions between v-Themis-A and s-Themis-A and between v-Themis-B and s-Themis-B, sperm is detached from the vitelline coat. In the other case, the sperm is allowed to penetrate the vitelline coat and fertilize the egg.

As you might expect from the demon barber of Fleet Street, Lynn Barber is almost as ruthless in her approach to her own life as she is to her subjects.
She rips through a precocious adolescent partly shaped by her parent's liberal attitude towards her shady, wealthy boyfriend (later revealed as an associate of slum landlord Peter Rachman), her bed-hopping years at Oxford and her time spent working for Penthouse before becoming the terrier interviewer she is now with not a little pomposity and a fearsome absence of sentiment â her description of her beloved husband's dreadfully fast death from cancer is all the more powerful for her seemingly pathological inability to indulge.
An Education(Penguin, £8.99) has been adapted by Nick Hornby into a forthcoming film but however good that film is, nothing can beat the undiluted essence of Barber's own voice.
Sex also crops up in Jenny Diski'sThe Sixties(Profile, £10.99), a more studious memoir that deconstructs that decade's mythologised image to look anew at the ideas that fomented it. Diski's own experiences are at the centre â as she points out, this was the decade that ushered in the Me Generation â and she sometimes imposes too much retrospective coherence.
But it's a measured assessment of that decade's cultural legacy all the same. Finally, a rather different memoir:The Junior Officer's Reading Clubby Patrick Hennessey (Allen Lane, £16.99), a buoyantly penned account of what makes an Oxford-educated teenager join the Army and serve in Afghanistan.

Florida Securities Fraud and Investment Mismanagement Attorney, Russell L. Forkey
Options - Are They Suitable Investments for You?
If you are contemplating investing in options or using options as a part of your investment strategy, it is critical that you fully and completely understand what they are and the critical terms associated therewith. One of the things that I have experienced, more than once in my 30 plus years of representing investors, is that investment classes recycle themselves. For example, let's assume that the current "hot" investment class is limited partnerships, then stock trading becomes in vogue, then trading stocks on margin, then option trading and then the circle is completed with limited partnerships returning to the forefront. Obviously, there are many other types of investment classes that exist but you get the idea. Also, remember that trading in options involves substantial risks and is not appropriate for everyone
Because option trading carries its own unique risks, brokerage firms must deliver to investors, before the first option trade, a booklet prepared by the Options Clearing Corporation called Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options. Just to demonstrate how complicated option trading is, the current version of this booklet is 148 pages of single spaced text. The topics contained in the booklet are:
•· Option Nomenclature
•· Options of Equity Securities
•· Index Options
•· Debt Options
•· Foreign Currency Options
•· Flexibility Structure Options
•· Exercise and Settlement
•·Tax Considerations, Transaction Costs, and Margin Requirements
•· Principal Risks of Options Positions
In the option abuse cases that I have handled over the years, I use this booklet to cross-examine the account executive to test his understanding as to how the options that he was recommending to the client worked and what was the risk associated with the option or strategy that the broker was employing. More likely than not the account executive did not know what he or she was doing. What was particularly disturbing is that I cannot remember one account executive that really understood how to compute margin requirements for any option strategy that was being employed because it differs from the normal method of calculation in equity accounts.
With the above said, an option is a contract to buy or sell a specific financial product. For example, if you are dealing in equity options, the underlying instrument is a stock, exchange-traded fund or similar instrument. The option contract is like any other contract. It contains specific terms concerning what you are buying or selling. The contract contains a specific price at which it can be exercised and a date of which it expires, much like an option contract to purchase a parcel of land. As with all option contracts when it expires, it no longer has any value. The exercise price is called the "strike" price.
There are two types of options, "puts" and "calls" and you can either buy or sell each. They can be covered or naked. I am not going to go into any more detail about options or options trading because there are so many variables that can come into play. Suffice it to say that if you have lost money as a result of broker fraud, misconduct or negligence, you need to retain an experienced attorney to represent you in these types of matters.

Videogamer reports that Sony has confirmed release dates for a host of upcoming PlayStation Store titles, both for PS3 and PSP via the PC PlayStation Store.
Coming to the PS3 store this month is Pain, followed by Elefunk in April and the wonderful looking echochrome in May. Pain was released on the US PlayStation Store late in 2007 and we're not entirely sure why it has taken so long to get a European release. Those that do pick the game up this month can also look forward to a bunch of new character packs.
Coming to PSP this spring are flOw and Ape Quest. flOw, a PS3 PSN launch period title, will be available for PSP this month and sees players guiding a luminous creature, hunting and eating other creatures in order to evolve. It's peaceful, calming entertainment and certainly worth a look later this month.

PROVINCETOWN — Town Manager David Panagore is hiring an executive assistant to serve as a project manager.
Town meeting voters approved the full-time position, with a salary of about $55,000, for this fiscal year. The new town staffer will be in charge of communications, projects and initiatives such as broadband expansion.
"It's a bit of a catch-all position," Panagore said on Monday.
Primary duties will include handling civic engagement and outreach programs such as town forums, conducting performance metrics and writing reports on town goals and strategic plans, Panagore said. The new hire will also handle social media platforms such as the town-hosted Facebook page, Town Talk.
"Over the last two years, we've become far more aggressive with civic engagement and outreach, far more aggressive in reporting our progress and more aggressive in social media presence," Panagore said. "This has all been in addition to everyone's regular jobs, but it eats up a lot of time to do it well."
Those interested in applying are required to have a bachelor's degree with at least five years of administrative experience in a municipal government office, or any equivalent combination of education and proven administrative experience. Applications should be returned to Panagore no later than 4 p.m. today, Thursday, July 12 for initial consideration.
"As soon as we identify a good candidate we will bring them on board," said Panagore. —KW

Innovation sofa bed – you will find the perfect solution for your home
The sofa has gained much importance together with the increasing search for ergonomic products in recent years. It's a commodity, where the buyer already emanating from the innovations as such. But even so, one can say that the designer regularly manage to surprise us incredibly much.
The Dam square and the innovations in the sofa
Holow Chair represents a typical example of straight line designs! Also many useful items can accommodate easily in this super comfortable piece of furniture. Things can be, for which can be found just just no more room. The sofa bed to a library or to a valuable part of the baby's room will fit through this innovation. In the living room would therefore no longer searching for a suitable opportunity, where you put the remote control.
Holow Chair by straight line designs
Store your items with style
Innovations in the sofa design take them to Pocket-size
We have many convenient modern sofa beds with mattress and bed box now on the market. But there is something that seems currently unbelievable to us, but could be something normal in the long run. Innovations in the sofa could cause that you can wear them in a few years, even in your pocket. The substance that could make this possible is called polyurethane (SMPU). At a specific temperature, it can be great according to the principle of WholeGrains and come back in a form that has been pre-programmed.
You can back off slightly then squeeze it. Carl de Smet is called the designer who has developed this innovation.
Futuristic design and perfect functionality
Alien forms and smart materials

The miracle of polyurethane
Strange even mounted pieces of furniture
Sophisticated technology
Where can you use the innovations?
These are just two of many examples, which can be for innovations. But they are the future, because you can just find widespread use. Above all this is with the necessary conversion ability. In a room that you use for different purposes, we want no sofa bed, used only occasionally. It must either can have a dual function or just easily disappear.

SUSSEX CO., Del. - On Friday, the Delaware State Police along with the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations and the Ocean City Police Department reportedly concluded an eight month investigation into a human trafficking ring operating in Sussex County.
Beginning in December 2015, investigators say they got information that Rashawn Davis was running a prostitution ring out of numerous motels. Troopers then began an investigation into the illegal activities and known associates of Davis. Over the course of several months, persons apparently connected with Davis were contacted several times at local motel rooms in eastern Sussex County.
In April 2016, Delaware State Police and agents from the Homeland Security Investigations with the help of the Ocean City Police Department led an investigation into the activities of Davis. During April, investigators say they discovered Davis had recruited George Dunn, and showed him how to operate another prostitution ring...

Special thanks to our sponsors
About the cause
One Love was founded in 2010 after Yeardley Love, a senior at the University of Virginia, was killed by her ex-boyfriend, also a UVA scholar athlete. After her death, Yeardley's friends and family were stunned to learn that 1 in 3 women and 1 in 4 men will be in an abusive relationship in their lifetime. Young women ages 16-24 are at 3X greater risk and have limited awareness of that fact. One Love exists because Yeardley was killed and her death was avoidable. Today, we work to ensure that everyone has information about unhealthy and abusive relationships that Yeardley, her friends and her family did not. We want everyone to understand the danger in these types of relationships and empower them to leave an unhealthy situation—or help a friend leave—before it escalates to abuse.
One Love's educational approach starts with the creation of emotionally compelling, film-based content that opens people's eyes to the presence of unhealthy and abusive behaviors in their lives. This content sparks conversations unlike others that have taken place before and gives people guideposts on how to talk about unhealthy and healthy relationships. In opening people's eyes and sparking conversations, we are establishing stigma around abuse that we believe is the first ingredient in changing the horrible statistics.
Newly awoken and motivated to help others, individuals on campuses and in communities around the country are raising their hand and giving their time, energy and resources toward the movement by joining Team One Love. This decision to participate and desire to help in whatever way —no matter how big or small—is the key to moving from educating to movement-building to social change.
Video: The Story of One Love
This is a great five minute segment on the story of Yeardley, the creation of One Love and the work being completed today!

Released in 2001 for the Game Boy Color, "The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Ages" and "The Legend of Zelda: Oracle of Seasons" made their way into the video game world as the seventh and eighth games in the "Zelda" series. However, the games do not need to be played in any particular order. A set of passwords is made throughout the game as the main character (traditionally named "Link") makes choices of donating money, naming someone's child, and obtaining legendary items. The passwords also keep track of how much money Link has when finishing the first game and the number of deaths acquired throughout the entire quest.
While the two games are similar in art style, basic story, and gameplay, they differ quite a lot in all other areas. "Ages" is mainly focused on presenting puzzles to the player which get increasingly more difficult as the game goes on, while "Seasons" is more concerned with giving the player more combat-based scenarios. The storyline of "Ages" tells of Link finding himself in the land of Labrynna and meeting the Oracle of Ages, named Nayru, and using her Harp of Ages to travel through past and present to stop the ghastly sorceress Veran from destroying Nayru and all balance in the country. "Seasons" shows Link's adventures in Holodrum as he helps the Oracle of Seasons, Din, by using her Rod of Seasons to change the appearance of the land between Autumn, Winter, Spring, and Summer before the mighty General Onox can rid Din of her powers and bring chaos to the region. With his trusty sword and shield, Link travels the lands of Labrynna and Holodrum to collect Essences of Time and Nature to foil the plans of Veran and Onox.
Throughout the game, Link travels to dungeons and collects new items to aid him on his quest. From magnetic gloves to a mermaid suit, his arsenal holds it all. In addition, one of the main features of the game is ring collections. Throughout the worlds, rings of all kinds can be found giving Link powers from extra defense to turning himself into an 8-bit version of himself from the original "The Legend of Zelda." These are always a fun way to keep mystery and suspense in the game, as taking the rings to Vasu the ring jeweler to get them appraised always leaves the player in suspense of what powers the rings may hold.
The password system is a brilliant idea as finishing one game will allow the player to get a head start in the next with a sword and shield already in Link's arsenal, rings already in his ring box, and rupees in his wallet. Playing the games back-to-back like this also unlocks a secret ending where Link must save Princess Zelda and fight the evil sorceress Twinrova and his reincarnated true enemy Ganon. The original final bosses are creative and fun, but this extra fight is truly an experience with several game mechanics suddenly being flipped as Link fights heavily unprepared against his largest foe.
Both "Ages" and "Seasons" have great plots, challenges, and gameplay for any adventuring videogamer. With secrets in "Seasons" only unlockable by playing "Ages" first, and secrets in "Ages" only unlockable by playing "Seasons" first, these games provide hours of fun without getting frustrating or boring at any point. The adventure continues with these two legendary games.

Palladium Books® Weekly Update – Sept. 25, 2014
By Kevin Siembieda
It has been a productive and wild week. Read on for the lowdown.
Fire at Port Los Angeles
What's next? Earthquake? Mudslide? Tsunami? Train hijacking? Pirates? Locusts? Yikes. This is why we hate to post a specific arrival or ship date. Every time we turn around there seems to be some event that impedes and delays the delivery of every darn container of Robotech® RPG Tactics™.
When we first heard the news of the fire, our hearts sank as we feared the worst. Thankfully, Container Two was nowhere near the fire, and was undamaged. However, it was trapped in port for a couple days while the authorities investigated the fire and the port was in turmoil. We should have missed the excitement entirely, but there was a delay in getting the container "on wheels," as our broker put it. That prevented Container Two from shipping last week as had been anticipated. It was supposed to ship the afternoon of the fire, but the fire prevented that. To make a long story short, Container Two of Robotech® RPG Tactics™ should arrive at the Palladium warehouse sometime next week. Whew. I don't know how much more excitement like this my heart can take.
UPDATE: Robotech® RPG Tactics™
Robotech® RPG Tactics™ Container Two should arrive by mid-week. As soon as we get it, we ship, ship, ship to our Kickstarter backers. So make sure we have your CURRENT and CORRECT address.
Container Three is on the ship at sea and should be arriving at Port Los Angeles early next week. We don't yet know if the damage from the fire will cause congestion and delays at the port or not. We hope not. Container Number Four is also at sea, and Five left the factory yesterday and should leave China on Monday.
Everything is in motion and we are looking forward to shipping out Robotech® RPG Tactics™ to our Kickstarter backers at an accelerated pace next week. Everyone is champing at the bit to get this game and those who have received it are loving it.
Here is another unboxing video. More to follow.
UPDATE: RRPGT™ Kickstarter Address Changes – keep them coming!!!
We've gotten nearly 200 address changes in the last week! PLEASE MAKE SURE WE HAVE YOUR CORRECT AND CURRENT ADDRESS! Here's how.
First, please log into BackerKit (http://robotech-rpg-tacticstm.backerkit.com) and make sure your address is correct. If it is, you're all set; no further action is needed. If not, or if you have moved since the Kickstarter in 2013, and have NOT updated your address yet, please send us your correct address this weekend! Make sure you include your apartment number.
If you have moved and haven't updated your address, and we send your rewards to the wrong address, your rewards might be lost and unreplaceable.
Palladium Books will not be liable for lost goods if you have moved and did not tell us in time. Even if the shipment comes back to us and we have to send it out again, we will need to pass on those new shipping costs to you if the fault was yours. Save yourself time and money and make sure your address is correct NOW.
We'll be shipping out hundreds of packages next week, with thousands to follow over the next two, so it's critically important that you do it this weekend, so we have time to do an updated data export and be ready to ship when Container #2 comes in. Address changes have been streaming in these last few weeks, and Jeff has been updating them all along, but that stream can't continue after the middle of next week or into the weeks after, because by then some of those people will be too late and their packages will have shipped already. Get them in NOW, please.
UPDATE: Palladium Fantasy RPG®: Bizantium and the Northern Islands™
I have started editing and rewrites. A bunch of the artwork has been assigned. A few pieces of art have already been turned in. I'm meeting with Chuck Walton on Friday to finalize the tight, finished cover pencils and discuss color elements. Chuck has also agreed to do some of the interior illustrations. This will be a Fall 2014 release.
UPDATE: Dead Reign™ – Graveyard Earth™ Sourcebook
I am deep into the final edit and writing tweaks, and damn is it good. I expect it will go into layout and be sent to the printer next week, so it will be released in time for Halloween. It's another fun zombie title by Matthew Clements.
UPDATE: The Rifter® #68 – Autumn Issue
I approved the color rough for the cover and John Zeleznik is painting away. We are assessing material for this issue and it should include some "official" Megaverse® in Flames™ source material that was trimmed from the main book. This is shaping up to be another great issue with source material that can be used in many game settings with minor modifications. Do not underestimate The Rifter® as a source of ideas, villains and adventure for all game worlds.
UPDATE: Robotech®: Expeditionary Force Marines Sourcebook One
– Formerly titled 'UEEF Marines'
It's coming. Still planned for a 2014 release.
UPDATE: 2015 Open House – May 14-17, 2015
Artist Apollo Okamura has confirmed he will be at the 2015 Open House. More Palladium creators to come.
Closing Thoughts
We have several projects underway, so I'm keeping this Update rather short. Stay positive. Stay excited. And keep those imaginations burning bright.

Palladium can only accommodate around 300 gamers total (plus staff and Palladium creators). Once we reach that number, the POH will be sold out. Order in the coming months or risk not being able to attend. If you wait till March or April, 2015 it may be too late!
A more complete description of the 2015 POH is in the online store and you can start purchasing your admission for the weekend or individual days as well as VIP Thursday (May 14, 2015). This write-up is just the highlights, please read the full description in the store. Remember, Price of admission covers ALL EVENTS, except VIP Thursday. There are no extra fees for gaming events, panel talks or autographs.
$45 per person for the Three Day Weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday; May 15, 16 & 17) when ordered in advance per each individual. ($60 at the door and after April 12, 2015, if space is available.)

VIP Night is a special, one-evening event limited to around 120 gamers – 70 are available right now. VIP Thursday, May 14, 2014: 3:00 P.M. till 12:00 P.M. NOTE: As has become tradition, we hold a number of VIP slots to be offered at a later date – typically February – so that gamers who decide to attend at a later date have a chance at getting into the coveted VIP Night too. You get the delicious meal catered by Palladium's very own Kathy Simmons (people rave about her meals), plus you get an extra afternoon and evening of gaming (opens late afternoon), a more intimate chance to talk with Palladium staff, artists and writers, and first crack at rare collectibles, prints and original art.
Other POH Highlights:

- And it all happens at the Palladium warehouse and offices, where the magic happens! Okay, not quite "all." When the gaming stops around 1:00 AM every night, the hotel has a large conference room where you maniacs can continue to game till you drop. There is room for at least 8 games in the room.

Now that I've finished filling my Cafepress e-shop with all kind of products and I have enough experience under my belt to write down a brief commentary on Etsy, Cafepress and Society6 I decided to do my evaluation.
On Society6 you have to pay a small fee for activating your account, but you can list items for free on some available products such as prints, t-shirts and hoodies, pc and phone cases and… that's all I think. You get paid every month no matter what amount of money your items make. I sold a print on Society6 and I didn't notice (yet) any fee for this transaction.
On Cafepress you can have an account for free and you can upload as many products as you want (plus the list of products is endless) without paying anything. You get paid every month as soon as you reach a minimum amount of money, 25 USD. A disadvantage of Cafepress is that uploading pictures gets really- really slow at times and you get system errors at rush hour every now and then.
On Etsy you pay a fee for activating your account, for every item you upload and every time you sell a product. A product is valid only for 4 months so after this period if you list it again you have to pay again. (I think the only service I don't pay for on Etsy is browsing around :p) Also on Etsy you are the seller so you have to take care of the safe delivery of your products.

Agra: Sarojini Naidu Medical College(SNMC), one of the earliest medical schools of the country is all set to redo its burns unit to develop the unit as a zero infection ward. A Rs.1 crore centre sanction for renovation has already been granted. At present, the unit receives a footfall of 25 burn injury patients daily.
"Of the 25 cases, some are minor injuries where patients are discharged after first aid. However, half of them are referred to the hospital's burn ward, which has only six beds. Doctors have a tough time treating the patients as there is a dearth of beds and other resources," an official of the hospital administration said. The sanctioned budget is to help procure an increased number of beds and some modern facilities for the ward as well, he added.
Dr Ajay Agarwal, Chief Medical Superintendent of the hospital told TOI, "Besides, adding beds and bringing in modern facilities to the ward, our main focus will be to develop the unit as zero infection ward as burn patients require extra care and an infection-free atmosphere."
"We are under process to complete the pre-renovation formalities. Once the paperwork is done, we will begin the task to develop the burn ward," Agarwal added.

Saw tooth sound waves generated under fifty hertz, IMPERIVM LVCIFERI has found resilience in the molecular density. Working with heavy tones, like steel rails vibrating miles from the locomotive source, IMPERIVM LVCIFERI conducts each listeners passage. From ancient times, through and on to distant futures, this is the soundtrack always playing. An under current of surface life, vast tunnels stretching to where no living soul has gone. This is the journey we all have taken and will all take again. Darkness slowly pulsating, breathing on you shoulder, it is always there.
This compact disc is divided into two roughly twenty minute tracks. "LVCIFER'S FALL" is the first, a sonic sink into droning quicksand. There is struggle, a fight to stay one with breathable air. The harmonics keep pulling, until light and oxygen disappear. Heartbeats become louder and the mind rationalizes if this is real or a dream that can be escaped. Maybe these are hallucinations, IMPERIVM LVCIFERI has become the only constant and sole comfort. "REGENCY OF CHAOS" is beyond this realm. If the previous track was thought of as dark or embodied with some aspect of the other life, "REGENCY OF CHAOS" bellows more than truly comprehensible. There is no struggle anymore, only a massive molten flow, white hot rock moving in an unknown direction. These sounds are the heaviest drone, shallowly breathing as souls fall into the thickest current.
IMPERIVM LVCIFERI was released in an edition of fifty on Deivlforst Rec out of Germany. This compact disc came out almost a year ago and is sold out. Not usually in the habit of posted older releases, especially ones that are sold out, but this was sent to Lost in a Sea of Sound just recently. Started listening and really felt depth and emotion in these sounds. Followed the path back to the label and found many cool releases that are sold out or on the threshold of being unavailable. So the intention with this post is to share a very good heavy drone composition by IMPERIVM LVCIFERI and to direct any interested listeners to the Deivlforst Rec label. Worth the attention on both accounts. Hope you enjoy this one.

"Finding Nirvana is like Locating Silence" Jack Kerouac- Dharma Bums
Twenty minute traffic jam on 16 en route to Mount Rushmore.....
All my life people have been telling me that Mount Rushmore is a lot smaller than you'd think it would be. Those people must have seen it from the Highway coming in because up close it is big and impressive.
I will say though that the monument is set up to accommodate a crazy amount of people. Huge dining hall, the biggest gift shop I've seen at a Park and multiple parking garages. On a windy, cold January afternoon we shared the park with two other people. Winter is definitely the way to go.

My dad has been trying to convince me to get married for the last…well, I'll just say for a long time. In the beginning, I was very patient and understanding of his reasons. But I think my dear father just didn't know when to stop.
At age 21:
"Daughter, I think maybe it's time for you to settle down."
"Settle down?"
"Let me find you a nice guy so you can get married."
"But I'm still studying, Papa."
"But if I start looking now then by the time you finish your studies we can have the wedding."
"Sorry, Papa, I just really want to concentrate on this for now. Can we talk about it in a few years?"
Papa sighs unhappily. "Okay, darling, if you say so."
A few months later:
"D [for daughter], your loving aunt, my sister, has sent me a letter with a boy's picture. Look at it, he's good looking, he comes from a good family…look at his qualifications!"
"What is that? A resume?"
"Uh, I really don't want to think about this now. And I really don't need anyone else to find me a guy. But thank her for thinking of me."
Many more conversations of this nature transpire. Parents and brother move to the US a couple of years later, I move to Canada. On a visit to the US, in my parents' new home Papa and I are having a little chat about a lot of stuff:
"D, I want to grow tomatoes in the backyard."
"Go ahead. I think it's a great idea…have a little kitchen garden in the back. Mom would love it."
"But it'll be incomplete."
"Well, grow some other veggies you like too. You've done it before. I know that was many years ago, but I'm sure you can do it again. Oooh, I know! Habaneros!"
"That's not what I mean."
"I'm confused."
"What I mean is…when I'm tending to the tomatoes I want to have grandchildren sitting on my knee."
"Is that your fantasy, Pops?"
"Right now it is, yes."
"I'm sorry to disappoint you, but it doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon."
"But why?!"
"Because I'm not ready yet, Papa."
"I just don't feel like this is the right time."
"Okay, how much time do you need?"
"I don't know, a couple more years maybe? I really don't know."
I hear a dissatisfied sigh. "Okay."
A few months pass. Our little family of four is on a summer holiday in the Catskills. On a beautiful, sunny, warm evening, I'm enjoying reading a book in the cool grass. Papa comes and sits next to me.
"How's the book?"
"Oh, I love it! I must finish it before we leave!" I had borrowed it from the study at the place we were staying in.
"Well, maybe I can ask the owner to let you take it with you and I'll mail it back to him. Or I can offer to pay for it."
I laugh. "Then we may as well buy it from a bookstore!"
"That's true. You're a quick reader; you'll probably finish it."
"I intend to!" I smiled, and immersed myself in the book again.
"I was thinking…"
"Oh?" A quick glance at my dad lets me witness an amused look on his face as he watches me. A twitch of my eyebrow lets my dad know I'm preparing myself for the talk. He's getting predictable.
"Maybe it's time."
I refuse to look up at him. "Time for what?"
"For you to settle down."
"Settle down?!"
"We can find you—"
"But you are—"
"I don't care."
"Listen, darling," he says sweetly, "I think you should think seriously about getting married now."
I finally look at him with a smile that is sickly sweet plastered on my face. "I don't think so."
"But I do."
"I'm not ready for marriage, Pops!"
"But I am."
"Then you get married!" He can see that I am exasperated.
"Daughter!" he exclaims. "You forget that I already am."
"Honestly, Pops, this needs to stop."
"I'm getting old. I need grandchildren."
"You have a son. Please ask him to procreate."
"Why can't I ask you?"
I have a steely look in my eyes. "Ok, ask me. You will have grandchildren. Marriage, I cannot promise."
"But that's impossible!"
"Is it? Really?"
"It's time for a wedding in the family, my darling daughter."
"Ask someone else to get married. Your son, for example."
"Why not you?"
"Because I continue to refuse you," I answer simply.
Papa looks up at the sky as if asking for help and sighs.
Another few months, I think, pass before he brings it up again. This time the situation is outrageous. I am visiting my parents and my dad has taken me to their doctor for a regular check-up. The conversation between him and the doctor, who happens to be from the country as us, goes something like this:
"Mr. S, just for our information, we need to know if your daughter is single."
"Yes, she is." Sigh. "Unfortunately." Sigh. "But do you know of any boys who're around her age?"
I feel compelled to interrupt. "Okay, first of all, doctor, you can ask me these questions, I'm perfectly capable of answering them myself. Secondly, Papa, I'm not comfortable with this conversation."
It's like the doctor doesn't hear me. "I can give you the address of this place where a certain community meets every few weeks, I think. Parents bring their sons and daughters who want to get married. You should take your daughter there."
"Can you give me a phone number too, doctor?"
My dad graciously accepts the Post-It with the address and number scribbled on it. I stare at them ungraciously, my eyes disapproving and annoyed.
We go home and my dad suggests going to one of those get-togethers.
With an icy smile I ask, "Why, Pops? Why do you think I need to go there?"
"So that you can find a boy to marry."
"I take offense to that," I say, tight-lipped.
"I don't see why."
"Well, you're basically implying that I'm incapable of finding someone on my own. That it is so highly improbable that someone I meet could like me that I need to have someone help me find a boy."
"That's not what it means, darling. This will just introduce you to some nice people."
"All these so-called boys there—"
"Darling, they really will be boys, not just called so."
"Ugh. All these so-called boys there"—my fingers make furious little air-quotes—"are going to be the kind that follow every order given by their mums and I'll be damned if I marry someone whom I know is a mama's boy!" My eyes flash angrily.
"But you are my responsibility, dear daughter, and as you can see I am getting old, so I must take care of my responsibilities."
I take a deep breath. I use a card that I know will win me the game. It's a dirty one, but it must be played. "I didn't realize I was such a burden on you that you think of me as a responsibility that needs to be taken care of. You could have just told me, Pops. I would have been more than understanding about it. You know that. I really don't want to burden you any more than you absolutely need to be."
My father is dumbfounded. He looks at me for a few seconds, speechless but slightly amused for his daughter has managed to silence him. "Never say that again," he finally manages with a wounded look.
I smile, triumphant. "Sorry."
After that, he hasn't brought it up the way he used to, but that's not to say he has stopped completely. I was talking to him on the phone the other day when I told him I was thinking of maybe getting a dog since I live alone and I like pets.
"If I may make a suggestion, dear daughter," he said quite seriously, "maybe you should think about marriage instead."
I couldn't help but laugh. It's nice to know, Pops, that getting married is, for you, the equivalent of me getting a pet. For now, I'm still not ready and I pick the dog. But thanks for the suggestion, my loving father.

I love giving and getting home-made presents. Often they don't cost much to make (except if you count your labour at say, $50 per hour - now they're expensive!) My sister Jeannie told me not to show anyone her craftsmanship, but I love this crocheted cup too much.
Got this lovely hand carved Indian stamp for my birthday. Printed and sewed up a sweet tea-towel for Kia that really is a one-off. (I have a very short attention span and only made one!)
Flaws are part of the charm of handmade pressies - they're living proof that this is not a mass-produced item!
Why not have a shot at this little make-up bag? There's a great little tutorial here at Three Bears.

Separate names with a comma.
Discussion in 'Utah Jazz' started by dalamon, Apr 10, 2019.
Oh ****. When did Churro ever save us from anything?
pray to the chu
prostate urself in the Proud name of The Churro, and all questions will be answered
Hey it's gotten us out of the first round a couple of times. If it can pull it off again, I'm ****ing all in.
It helped us win a playoff series against LAC. I watched @dalamon eat one live at the game when we won at home against them. It was clearly the difference maker.
There's been no churro on the board the past 24 hours. Have you been watching what happened to us without that?
Sorry guys, the last 4 games have taken a toll on me.
Thinking about switching to an all Churro diet tbh
**** it--if I were a praying man, it might as well be to the Churro.
Sent from my SM-G973U using JazzFanz mobile app
Might I remind you that that was the ONLY home game we won that whole postseason.
With all due respect to the Red Churro of Light, heat, and life, we do not need saving.
<classy intensifies>
Oh yeah, eff the rockets.
Churro worship is wrong and it always comes back to bite us. Retire the Churro.
We did. Just like you and a few others asked. Yet here we are with the most improbable path to a first round meeting with Houston. You don't need the churro to retire. You need the churro to come out of retirement. Did you tell Jordan to go back into retirement after the Bulls got bounced in the second round?
Might as well watch Game of Thrones for game one....
Ugh, not this again.
Your quote reminded me of this, which somebody should turn into the churro:
Oh ffs
The Churro has called us to repentance through a series of improbable events... If you cannot see the signs and repent then you deserve what is coming. I never strayed but wandered in the wilderness as the wickedness of those that did not believe in the churro was too much to endure. Now is the time to look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself... Do you believe in a magical churro? I know I do.
