Multifunction Printer Ink Usage Comparison and Cost: How to
The cost of replacement ink cartridges must be taken into consideration when purchasing a new multi function printer. More often than naught, consumers purchase a new printer without first researching the price of the ink cartridges. This can be a very costly mistake indeed.
It is not uncommon to find brand new printers in second hand stores and garage sales. Why you ask? The simple answer is that it would cost more to purchase the new ink cartridges than it would to buy another printer. This is especially true of the "free Printer" often packaged with computer systems. Of course it is free; the real money is made in the replacement ink cartridges.
Comparison Shop Printers
All of these printers have the same basic functions and are basically in the same price range. They are all Energy Star Compliant and they all offer a good all around value. So how does one make an informed decision as to which printer offers the best value? The main difference is in the cost of ink over the life of the printer. A savey buyer will do the calculations required to find an actual per page price for each page of printed material. Now, this average price will vary from user to user slightly since some of us print very dense pages while others may have lighter print jobs as the norm. Before purchasing a new printer, always check the ink prices and yeild to get the best value for the money over the life of the printer.
Compare Multifunction Printers and Ink Cartridges
For ease of comparison I will only include the black ink cartridges since those are the cartridges most frequently replaced.
- HP Officejet J4540 All-in-One Printer: HP901- $14.99 yield up to 200
- Canon Pixma MX330 Multifunction Printer: CL-210– $17.99 yield up to220
- Brother Network Ready Multifunctional Printer: LCBK- $26.99 yield up to 450
- Lexmark X7675 Inkjet All-in-One Printer: Lexmark 44- $29.99 yield up to 540
Energy Star Rated Multifunction Printers
Now, at first glance it would seem that the HP Officejet J4540 has the best price for ink cartridges, ergo this printer must have the cheapest printer ink. But this is only half of the equation. Now we look at each individual ink cartridge and determine the yield. The yield is the number of pages you can expect to print based on a 5% Print coverage per page. Yes, all print jobs are different however this gives us a standardized form of measurement in order to make an informed decision. Your particular ink usage may be more or less depending on what you print.
Each printer manufacturer states the page yield on the ink cartridge packaging. To figure the cost per page printed you must divide the price per cartridge by the max yield. This cost per page will give you the best idea of which multifunction printer is actually the most economical purchase. In our example above, the cheapest printer ink is the Lexmark X7675 with a 5 ½ cents per printed page. All things considered equal, the Lexmark would cost less over it's lifetime than the other three printers.
I priced the ink cartridges at my local big box store, but there are numerous online sites that sell ink at discount prices, in addition to refurbished ink cartridges as well as ink refill kits.

With summer in full swing, I decided it was time to get out and take advantage of some of the amazing adaptive watersports available out there. Ski ability recently hosted an adaptive watersport day where anyone with a disability could try out this epically fun sport.
Now, I've learned that getting involved in adaptive water skiing isn't that easy. It's all word of mouth right now. So I'm hoping this post will help other people learn about and have a chance to experience this ridiculously fun activity. The wildest part about it that I learned is that people of all abilities can do this, and get out of the water. With a sit ski and a side-skier or two, anyone can get up and out of the water. So, if any part of you wants to whip across the water with the wind in your hair and adrenaline in your veins, you can do it.
Vancouver Water Ski Club hosts a skiability day once a year, and to get on the info list to join next year, e-mail Ian Harder at [email protected].
I've also learned that there's a 2-day water ski camp held in Kamloops once a year as well. Sadly, we've missed it! But I'll be signing up for it next year. For more information on the Kamloops event, check out their website HERE.
I sure hope I see some of you out there next year!
A special thank you to my amazing father, Wes Sheldon for the great photos.

15 Best Wireframing Tools for Designers Building a website can be a time-consuming and expensive business. To ensure that you minimize the number of hours spent and the amount of money wasted on each project, it's absolutely essential that you plan properly, flushing out content and functionality early, reducing rework. Most people simply use a pen and paper to plan the early stages of their website designs, but is this enough? Besides a rough, handwritten sketch, you should be creating wireframes for your own benefit and to aid in preliminary discussions with clients and team members. To create a successful wireframe, you're going to need to use a good wireframing tool. We explore the 15 best online tools below. Online tools, as opposed to desktop applications, tend to be easier to use, cheaper and better for sharing your designs with colleagues and clients. Each tool in the list below performs several unique functions. Some are better for knocking up a mockup in a matter of minutes; others are better for building fully interactive, clickable, high-fidelity prototypes that look and feel like a proper website. Take some time to try out a few of these tools and find out which one's right for you.
1. Cacoo (free)
Besides wireframes, you can use Cacoo, the online drawing tool, for creating sitemaps and network charts. It offers all the basic drawing features you'd expect alongside a vast collection of stencils. Cacoo's major strength in relation to some of the other tools in this list is its ability to let you work on diagrams with other users, wherever they are, simultaneously, communicating with one another using the 'Chat' function.
2. Balsamiq Mockups ($79 as a desktop app)
Balsamiq Mockups is one of the most popular wireframing tools out there and it's easy to see why. With over 75 controls, 150 icons and 50 keyboard shortcuts to choose from, you really can create anything. One of its strongest features is 'Quick Add'. Kind of like Mac's Spotlight, users only need to type the first couple of letters of a specific control to select it. Elements added to your designs snap into place making everything look clean and professional.
3. Mockingbird (free)
Safari, Chrome and Firefox users can make the most of Mockingbird's exceptional prototyping abilities to make really straightforward wireframes without any unnecessary fuss. UI elements can be dragged and dropped into pages, separate pages can be linked together to give you a visual representation of a whole website and you can share your mockups with others simply by sending them a link.
4. HotGloo (from $14 per month)
HotGloo launched the latest version of its impressive online wireframing tool on 14th February 2010. People who have used it in the past should certainly consider giving it another go as much has changed. HotGloo has got to be one of the most attractive wireframing tools, but its performance is striking too. The editor is extremely user-friendly and creating custom elements, collaborating in real time and managing sitemaps is a breeze.
5. MockFlow (free)
MockFlow claims that it's a faster way of creating wireframes than using a pen and paper. At first I was skeptical of this, but having now given it a go I'd be inclined to agree. One of the best things about MockFlow is that it lets you work on your wireframes online and offline. With no internet connection, using MockFlow desktop, you can work on your projects with all changes stored locally and optionally synced back when connection is regained.
6. Pencil Project (free)
Pencil is a free, cross platform, open source wireframing tool with a strong following. It's available as a standalone tool or a Firefox add-on. The latest release (1.1) offers various new features including inter-page linking and the ability to export your wireframes to HTML, PNG, Openoffice.org, Word or PDF. Its stencils look superb and it's really user-friendly.
7. Pidoco (from $9 per month)
Pidoco is a 100% browser-based app requiring no downloads whatsoever. With Pidoco, you can create wireframes that are interactive and clickable with stencils that link to other elements and pages. Different aspects of your design are held in layers, like Photoshop, so common elements can be kept for each page. Getting feedback on your wireframes is easy- simply choose which members of your team you want give access to and they can leave comments.
8. Protoshare (from $29 per month)
Protoshare offers a higher level of functionality to most of the other tools explored here. You can make everything from the most basic wireframes to the most high-tech, interactive prototypes. As the tool is completely web based, team members can login from any computer to view and comment on your work. You can rearrange pages by dragging and dropping them in your sitemap, view prototypes as website diagrams and make sitewide changes in a couple of clicks. You can add styles, images, Flash, forms, RSS feeds and more to make your wireframes look and behave just like the real thing.
9. iPlotz (free basic package)
iPlotz is a cross-platform wireframing tool that's really easy to get to grips with. Its basic package, which lets you edit one project with a maximum of five pages, is completely free, so there's no excuse not to give it a go. Drag and drop functionality, the ability to quickly upload your own images onto a page, and the facility to export pages as PNG, JPG or PDF, make iPlotz a pleasure to use. You can even invite other colleagues to view, comment on and edit your designs.
10. Gliffy (free)
Gliffy is a great tool for creating wireframes quickly, but that's not all it's good for- you can use it to sketch flow diagrams, floor plans, network diagrams and much more. Such versatility means that its shapes and stencils are more diverse than usual. Embedding your designs into wikis, blogs and hosted apps is simple too.
11. Jumpchart (free basic package)
Jumpchart is a collaborative website planning application tool which revolutionizes the way we plan our sites. Rather than focus on design, like most of the other tools explored here, it focuses on content, allowing you to order all the text, files and images you need for each page in a highly structured way. Jumpchart uses Textile, so there's no need for any coding know-how.
12. JustProto (free basic package)
JustProto is an excellent web-based tool for building prototypes of web and desktop applications. With JustProto, you can visualize your apps properly by creating interactive simulations before any coding begins. JustProto features a text editor and file manager, and every change you make is previewed instantly.
13. Creately (free basic package)
Creately can be used for working securely and collaboratively on pretty much anything visual, although it specializes in the creation of UI interfaces, flow charts, software and web designs. It features all the usual drag and drop, unlimited undo/redo and curved connections you might expect, but it's particularly strong when it comes to comments. Click on a comment a colleague has made and you'll be shown exactly which element of your wireframe they're referring to.
14. Lovely Charts (free)
Wireframing tools don't come any cuter than Lovely Charts. It doesn't have the technical abilities of some of other tools, but it's free and wireframes made on it look really stylish and original. It's perfect to use when working with a certain type of client- perhaps one that's more interested in design over functionality. Easy and sexy (its words, not mine), Lovely Charts makes designing wireframes that little bit more fun.
15. Templatr (free)
A lot of people would not consider Templatr to be a wireframing tool, but it's actually really handy for creating mockups. Simply choose the layout you want, upload any images and customize it to suit your exact needs. It's simple, but very effective and free! This is a guest post from Tom Walker who blogs for a supplier of ink next day in the UK. He blogs on the CreativeCloud about media design and advertising.

Warning: do not try this at home without proper supervision.
In my meditation class with Scott McBride we have been studying the Four Limitless Qualities of the bodhichitta (the awakened heart) which includes cultivating joy in one's life. Unlimited joy is a happiness that is completely devoid of clinging and craving. This is the joy of "happiness without the hangover" explains teacher Pema Chodron.
I would like to share how I experienced a moment of what I am calling Ecstatic Joy on Saturday evening at my home. Please bear with me as I set up the story.
A few weeks ago my junior in high school attended a post prom party at Dave & Busters with most of her junior class. After spending a few hours playing games at the arcade she and a big group of kids decided to pool their tickets in order to get a "really big prize". And in the moment they exchanged their total of 9,000 tickets, Bruce the Blue Gorilla was born.
Bruce is (was) a giant stuffed gorilla. Yes, he is also blue. My daughter was so taken by Bruce that she offered to house him on behalf of the junior class. That night (morning) I met my daughter, five of her best friends and Bruce in my kitchen as they returned to my house at 4:45 am (hem, hem). The six of them (plus Bruce) were giddy with prom stories and Bruce stories. They quickly changed and went to the basement where they sat Bruce in the middle of their circle and engaged in "Prama" (Prom + Drama) discussions.
Let's speed up to this past Saturday evening and a last minute bon fire gathering at my home with 25 plus juniors. There was joy in the air. It was a beautiful night and the pizza and soda were abundant. "Life is good" fairies were heard singing in the air as these young adults flitted about enjoying life.
As my husband Brian and I sat watching TV, one of my daughter's friends, wearing a mischievous grin, asked us if it was okay for her to go to the basement to get Bruce. I should have known at that moment that something momentous was about to take place …
About 20 minutes later Brian and I heard an ecstatic eruption of joy and laughter. Screams and clapping filled the air. I felt elated, excited (and kind of nervous) to find out the cause of this incredible joyful celebration.
We couldn't believe what we saw. The juniors had sacrificed Bruce the Blue Gorilla in the bonfire. They sacrificed him as a right of passage into their senior year of high school. His soft blue body had exploded open from the heat. His innards were strewn about my backyard.
I burst out laughing. I celebrated with them. It was pure delight from this unexpected spontaneous combustion. It was a moment of Ecstatic Joy and I thank Bruce the Blue Gorilla for making it happen.

Aviation Unions, Air Transport Industry Lobbying Cruising at High Altitude as Federal Legislation Looms
In the National Transportation Safety Board's report on Continental Flight 3407, the agency attributed the fatal February 2009 crash — it killed all 49 people onboard and one person on the ground — to a combination of pilot error and inadequate safety procedures by flight operator, Colgan Air.
The victims' families quickly responded by successfully getting increased pilot safety rules placed into law, but they've encountered potential opposition in a recent amendment from Rep. Bill Shuster (R-Pa.). The legislation adds additional hurdles for the Federal Aviation Administration before the agency can enact safety regulations and critics argue that it would also weaken post-Flight 3407 reform efforts.
Shuster's amendment — currently on its way to the Senate — also doubles as the latest legislative front for airlines, aviation unions and air transport groups. These entities, which often harbor competing interests, have long maintained a strong presence within Washington, D.C. And as the federal government's focus on airline policy increases, their lobbying spending and outreach efforts will likely continue to rise.
The Continental Flight 3407 report stopped short of naming pilot fatigue as a cause for the plane's crash landing, but dissatisfaction over issues such as salaries and working conditions initially helped bring air transport unions and the victims' families together.
Both groups continue to share the same concerns, according to Gregg Overman, director of communications for the Allied Pilots Association, a trade union for American Airlines pilots.
"We both — as far as APA and [the Flight 3407 families] are concerned — we share an interest in helping to ensure that, when you get on an airplane or you put your family on an airplane in this country, that the cockpit crew members are properly trained, they have a sufficient amount of experience and they know how to react in case of an emergency." Overman said.
Similar issues have driven much of the air transport unions' legislative pushes.
In 2010, air transport unions spent more than $2.8 million on federal lobbying efforts, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal lobbying records found.
While this figure is a slight downturn from 2008 and 2009 — unions recorded around an additional $1 million in expenditures for both years — their preferred party and contribution activity has remained consistent. Air transport union political action committees gave more than $4.2 million to federal candidates during the 2010 election cycle, and more than half of that went to Democrats.
The Air Line Pilots Association and National Air Traffic Controllers Association are also dominant players within the industry's political efforts. Both groups accounted for almost half of airport unions' total lobbying in 2010 and political action committee spending during the 2010 election cycle.
A representative from the National Air Traffic Controllers Association declined to comment to OpenSecrets Blog.
However, unions are significantly trumped by airlines on other spending areas.
In 2010, airlines invested more than $21.4 million on lobbying, with organizations such as AMR Corp. — parent company of American Airlines — and the Air Transport Association of America ranking among its top spenders.
Airlines have frequently pushed for regular communications with lawmakers, said Steve Lott, vice president of communications at the Air Transport Association of America.
"ATA and our members have always worked closely with Congress and regulatory bodies to ensure safe and secure air transportation and also to enable U.S. airlines [to] be globally competitive," Lott said in an email. "ATA leads industry efforts to drive crucial aviation policy and supports measures that enhance aviation safety, security and commercial competitiveness and viability."
Airlines have also traditionally hedged their bets when it comes to party support. During the 2010 election cycle, the overall airline industry gave 54 percent of its contributions to Democratic candidates, but donation figures have swung between Democrats and Republicans during the past few election cycles.
When it comes to political action committee spending, air transport unions still maintain some advantage.
For instance, while AMR Corp. spent more than $5.5 million on lobbying during 2010 — the most among all airlines — the organization's political action committee only contributed $504,250 to federal candidates.
By comparison, the National Air Traffic Controllers Association's political action committee gave more than $2 million to federal candidates during the same period.
The current legislative debate over the Federal Aviation Administration's reauthorization bill has also provided ample high-profile targets for airline and air transport unions' lobbying dollars.
For example, during the 2010 election cycle, air transport unions gave the most money to former Rep. James L. Oberstar (D-Minn.), while Rep. John L. Mica (R-Fla.) was the biggest beneficiary of airline industry contributions among House candidates. Oberstar and Mica are, respectively, the former and current chairmen of the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
Financial support from an industry doesn't always beget favorable legislation, though.
While Shuster has earned the ire of everyone from the families of Flight 3407 victims to Captain Chelsey "Sully" Sullenberger (pictured right), the representative hasn't attracted significant financial support from airlines. Of the $495,150 Shuster's campaign received from political action committees during the 2010 election cycle, only $18,500 came from the air transport industry.
Beyond Shuster's amendment, airlines and air transport unions have also directly lobbied to lawmakers on numerous occasions.
During the past session of Congress, airlines and air transport unions lobbied on multiple bills dealing with issues such as improved airfare transparency, crewmember training and Federal Aviation Administration appropriation.
Overman acknowledged that federal attention on airlines has long been a factor in the industry's federal lobbying efforts.
"Having a lot of government attention in our business is really nothing new, so I guess we do our best to navigate the process and we're committed to representing our pilots' interest at the FAA and on Capitol Hill." Overman said.

The following sections provide information about Cisco Unified Communications Manager and the IM and Presence Service, and the relationship between these nodes when they are installed together in a cluster.
Cisco Unified Communications Manager serves as the software-based call-processing component of the Cisco Unified Communications family of products. A wide range of Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers provides high-availability server platforms for Cisco Unified Communications Manager call processing, services, and applications.
IM and Presence, which is a service of Cisco Unified Communications Manager, provides native standards-based dual-protocol enterprise instant messaging (IM) and network-based availability as part of Cisco Unified Communications. This secure, scalable, and easy-to-manage service offers users feature-rich communications capabilities both within and external to the enterprise.
This section provides an overview of the system topology and describes the relationship between the types of nodes in the topology.
Clusters provide a mechanism for distributing call processing and database replication among multiple servers. They provide transparent sharing of resources and features and enable system scalability.
A cluster comprises a set of Cisco Unified Communications Manager (Unified Communications Manager) nodes and IM and Presence nodes that run compatible software versions.
Within a cluster, there is a database publisher for each type of node that you install.
When you install Unified Communications Manager, the installation wizard prompts you to specify whether the node you are installing is the first node in the cluster. The first Unified Communications Manager node that you install becomes the publisher node, because it publishes the voice and video database to the other Unified Communications Manager nodes in the cluster. All subsequent nodes in the cluster are called subscriber nodes. Each subscriber node must be associated with the publisher node. You must set up all subscriber nodes in the system topology on the publisher node before you install the software on the subscriber nodes.
When you install IM and Presence nodes, the first node that you install functions as the server for the IM and Presence database. Because this node publishes the database for all of the IM and Presence nodes in the cluster, it is referred to as the IM and Presence database publisher; however, you must install this and all other IM and Presence nodes as subscribers of the Unified Communications Manager publisher node. As with other subscriber nodes, you must add these in the system topology before you install the software.

Boutin Publishes Research Article
Associate Professor of Mathematics Debra Boutin recently published a research article "The Determining Number of a Cartesian Product" in the Journal of Graph Theory. This work continues Boutin's studies finding a smallest set of nodes that captures all the symmetries in a network. In this recent work she closely bounds the size of such a set in a large class of networks created by taking products of smaller networks.

After receiving kudos on her sewing abilities from friends and family, Feyza Demirtas decided to open an Etsy shop selling handbags. The success of her line and her husband's heavy travel schedule allowed her to take the plunge into making her Etsy shop a full-time venture. She's now managing a whopping four Etsy accounts and splitting her creative line into casual bags (ikabags), luxury bags (Arva), embroidered coasters (madamehoux) and custom labels (hobbytime).
Tell us about your previous working situation.
I worked as an an office director and production planning manager at Koleksiyon Furniture Company. I was working with fabrics, as well as wood and leather. After I was introduced to the SAP system and received the training required for it, we started working abroad as expats for the SAP. Because of my husband's frequent business trips and the positive value of returns with my new Etsy shop, I decided to resign from the job in order to establish the bag company.
How did you originally get into making bags and embellishments?
What started as a mere hobby (the embroidery, wood and glass painting works) moved to a new level after the year 2000. After the birth of my second son, I began to spend more time at home and had more opportunities to develop new artistic insights. The positive feedback I received from my friends and the discovery of Etsy motivated me to move on to a professional level. Purchasing a Pfaff sewing machine enabled me to make embroidered linen coasters and bags. In time, this has turned into the production of more versatile, sporty, colorful and eco-friendly bags.
What are your best marketing tips?
- The most important thing is to stick to your own style. This allows you to get the attention of more potential customers.
- The best way to market your products is to provide clear details and photographs that present them as best as possible.
- You have to complement these efforts with marketing on Twitter, Facebook, Kaboodle, Flickr and other social media outlets.
- Make sure to check out the updates from Etsy.
- You can improve your sales and presentation through friendships made via the Forums and Teams.
Walk us through your typical workday.
- My day begins at 6:30 in the morning with getting my kids ready for school.
- After taking them to school I take the packages I prepared the previous night to the post office.
- After I get home I check my email.
- I take a short coffee break, walk in my garden and then check the bags to be made that day in my Excel file. Then I start making them.
- I do this until I pick up the kids from the school. Then I make new items to list. In the meantime, dinner is prepared.
- After dinner I talk to my kids about what they did at school and help them with their schoolwork.
- During breaks I chat with my friends and share new ideas. I continue writing our family diary, which I started after the birth of my first son.
- After the kids go to sleep, I continue sewing and prepare the packages to be posted the next day, as well as respond to emails.
- I become a very happy mother on weekends since I get to spend more time with my kids. We usually take walks in the woods, play tennis, swim and bike. We enjoy visiting brocantes near our town. We read together and do hobby-works, which my sons love. We go downtown to Paris as a family two times a month to look for new fabrics. I also shop at the organic market twice a week.
What do you enjoy most about not having a day job? Is there anything you miss?
Not having a day job allows more time for my creative ideas. On the other hand, I miss my friends in the office, as I sew alone in my home atelier.
What's the hardest part about running your own business?
The hardest part of the business has to be looking for and testing the fabrics and supplies I use. I spend a lot of time finding the best quality materials.
If you could go back in time, what advice would you give yourself or someone considering a similar route?
Nothing is too late in life, but I wish I would have set up my Etsy business sooner, because my creative ideas do not fit into a 24-hour day. I advise others not to be afraid to leave a day job, because everyone has creative ideas to sell. The most important thing is to be yourself and discover what you can do.
Have any favorite Etsy shops we should know about?
- Blueterracotta: I love Laura's natural handmade work.
- HeartshapedCreations: I love Maria's happy collection and her Treasuries.
- OneClayBead: Lee is a wonderfully talented mother.
- Ayca: Ayca has 25 years experience crocheting and makes custom designs.
Thanks to Feyza for sharing her story. You can see some of her work in the Seller's Items below.

The light called me to the beach this morning.
I went, knowing there were few days left till winter.
Perfection wasn't what I wanted.
What was I looking for?
The wind. The light. The gulls and the spray.
A small group gathered to say goodbye to one they loved. They huddled close against the wind, below the bluff. A gull above. Gliding.
The gulls and the light and the fading colour.
And the gulls. I've been blind to their beauty. Look, look.
What could be commonplace here? They turn to face the wind. Dig in.
Have you seen sunlight illuminate their bones?
Geese push into formation.
The gull flies.

I feel like I start a lot of entries explaining that I've decided to make a dish because x ingredient was on sale this week at the grocery store. And you know what? I'm proud of that! Part of my goal in starting this blog was to give myself a reason to experiment and to learn to "cook by feel" instead of following recipes (or asking Mike).
Tonight's dinner was a great example of having an idea and then adapting the ideas I found online to fit the ingredients in my pantry, inventing something completely my own in the process.
Based on a recipe for Roasted Butternut Squash Soup and one for Butternut Squash Green Apple Soup, I made up some shallot-butternut squash-apple cider-ginger soup. And oh man, I loved it. That's saying something, because I don't usually like soup!
**ALTHOUGH, I must include this aside. I was at River Gods in Central Square last week and I think it was the first time I've ever actually ordered a soup at a restaurant. Not counting clam chowder, of course. It was a white bean (cannelini, I think) creamy soup with brie and grapes. Oh my god. It was basically a dessert soup…but there was no. friggin. guilt. I definitely recommend trying it if you happen to be there anytime soon!
I actually had soup yesterday at school, too (garbanzo, kale, and ham), and it was pretty satisfying. I'm learning that a hot soup can be just the ticket when you need something light but warm and filling.
ANYWAY. Tonight's soup reminded me of one Becca suggested for a dinner party we had last winter, although I think we had cream or yogurt then and it was pretty great. I need to find out from Becca if she still has that recipe…
If you don't have shallots, any sweet onion will do (Vidalia, ideally). But look at how pretty the purple and green shallots are! And so delicate!
The flavors of this soup are pretty subtle, but the color is bold and refreshing and everything just feels wonderful while you're eating it. Trust me. Try it. Do it. Maybe add some mint if you're feeling adventurous (only a few sprigs, though).
Butternut Squash-Apple Cider Soup
Makes a lot of servings! Maybe 6-8 appetizer, 3-4 dinner
Olive oil
1 Tbsp butter
2 big shallots, sliced (or 1 Vidalia onion, diced)
1/2 cup apple cider
1 butternut squash, peeled, seeded, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 cups water
1 cup white wine (I used cooking wine, but regular would be better. You could also use chicken or vegetable broth for a different kind of soup)
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
Pinch nutmeg
Pinch cinnamon
In a large pot, heat oil and butter together, then add shallots and throw on a pinch of salt. Let them cook for a couple of minutes, then add apple cider and let it all reduce and pretend-caramelize for about 5 minutes. Add squash, water, wine, and ginger. Add salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cinnamon (be judicious with the last two). Bring to a boil, then simmer for at least 10 minutes, until squash is soft. Puree in a blender or with an immersion blender, sprinkle some pepper on top, and voila! Doneskies.
Note: If your squash isn't soft after 10 minutes or so, you can cover the pot for a few minutes. It helped me a lot!

Time: 9:53pm
Number of witnesses: 1
Number of objects: 1
Shape of objects: Orb/Round
Could your sighting be a UFO balloon/lantern?: No
Weather Conditions: Warm clear night. Quite windy.
Description: I was taking the dog for her last walk of the day before bed. She stopped to do her business so I stopped too. I looked up at the sky and could see all the stars as it was a clear night, then out of the blue a bright purple/blue orb appeared in the sky. It was stationary for about 5 seconds then it looked like flashed or disappeared and reappeared very quickly 3 times, then moved across the sky heading north east for maybe a mile or so, it didn't look far, then completely disappeared again.
This is the second thing I have seen in the sky that I cannot explain. The other was only 5 days earlier and I have never seen anything before this time.

If you use SVN for version control, you've probably run into situations where there are undesirable matches to your egrep command from resources within .svn directories. It's easy enough to avoid that by piping the output of your first egrep into a second that does an inverted search (ie. returns anything that does not match the expression):
egrep -rn 'hook_form_alter' . | egrep -v '\.svn'
It's the -v option that does the inverting.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has expanded its consumer complaint database to include problems with payday loans. The CFPB is the first federal agency with the regulatory authority to supervise this industry.
"Before the Consumer Bureau, consumers who had trouble with payday lending products had few places to turn," said CFPB Director Richard Cordray in a statement. "By accepting consumer complaints about payday loans, we will be giving people a greater voice in this market."
The CFPB said it will accept complaints from customers about:
- Unexpected fees or interest charges
- Unauthorized or incorrect charges to a bank account
- Loan payments that were not credited
- Problems contacting the lender
- Not receiving money after applying for a loan
The CFPB also wants to hear from people who received a loan they did not apply for. This can happen when the lender mishandles personal information, such as a bank account number or Social Security number.


text: After five games, the Bucs were 3-2 and showing serious potential around the NFL. Then they lost in the final minute to the woeful Lions and promptly started a five-game losing streak that ended their chances. Two narrow wins included a sweep of the Bears but losing five of their eight games that were decided by four points or less proved decisive for such a young team.

We are living in a difficult time for investors.

text: THE PEOPLE'S WALL John Adams, the first president to take residence in the White House in 1800, once wrote: "I pray Heaven to bestow the best of blessings on this House, and all that shall hereafter inhabit it. May none but honest and wise men ever rule under this roof." On January 20, 2017 someone that has lied to, stolen from and greatly threatened the American people, is intended to set foot in our White House, and we must stop him at all costs. If we are to survive as a free nation in this present time, we must communicate to the entire world that we oppose the evil forces that seek power through corruption, through bigotry, through sexism, and through thoroughly self-interested means. A Trump presidency is a TYRANNY and A THREAT TO DEMOCRACY. Jefferson and our founding fathers gave us the right protect what is ours against all threats: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security." We and we alone are the new Guards for the rights of ALL people must unite and build a human barricade around the perimeter of the White House. THE PEOPLE'S WALL for freedom is the last line of defense against national fascism and world destruction. Trump wants to build a wall based on the foundations of pure hatred, paved with the despair of the downtrodden of this country, and cemented with his own relentless thirst for personal financial gain. We will gather the stones of freedom, the will to work peacefully but unceasingly, and cement ourselves around the white house fence on January 20, layer upon layer of people linking arms who will preserve the democracy and freedom of all people of the United States. We, THE PEOPLE, will build a barrier constructed of of love and hope and passion for freedom against a self proclaimed fascist wall builder who opposes all of these ideals. HOLD THE LINE AND BUILD THE PEOPLE'S WALL. How it Works The White House sits upon 18 acres at 1600 Pennsylvania avenue in Washington DC. The total perimeter around the white house is only 3,536 feet. We only need roughly 2,000 people to encircle the white house in a single layer as seen below: Now imagine if we could gather the number of people that have been protesting in recent days following the election outcome from all of the following cities: That's roughly 35 cities. 1,000-3,000 people from 35 cities is at the lowest 35,000 to the highest 5 million people or more. At the densest it will look like this: We can and MUST make this happen. Do not let intimidation and fear mongering break your spirit. It is your right as an American to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These are rights that all possess- and they are rights that now must be DEFENDED. Holding the wall on January 20th we will deny usurpers and despots to enter our internationally recognized center of power and freedom. What is Needed physical necessities: food/portable restrooms/funding- kickstarters/donations/volunteers from local companies and movements can bolster this; additionally forms of communication beyond cellphones- walkie talkies spread of word through social media: any and all forums are necessary, boundaries must be crossed and no stone left unturned momentum from all progressive movements to support this endeavor: WE NEED ORGANIZERS AND LEADERS TO COME TOGETHER AND BUILD THE PEOPLE'S WALL TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY

We had a great day with the kids, they are still raving about it. We will be back for more.
so much fun and such good customer service!
We have been here many times. It is a safe area and great for large groups. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the groups I have taken have varying ages but there was a craft that suited everyone.
Just a brief note of gratitude for making such a fabulous time possible for us all. It is obvious from the children's comments since, that they all had a ball and greatly enjoyed the freedom they were given. They have told anyone who will listen about their day on the boats with great excitement in thier voices. I believe that the day will remain vivid in their memories. The older ones also understand that they were quite spoilt and very much appreciate your generosity. So from all of us….. THANKYOU. Jody and family.
Hi Team
Thanks so much for yesterday's party. My son and his friends had an awesome time, the
kids were ecstatic and the parents thought it was a brilliant idea. I expect
you may get some interest for it for others now…
We will come back again for sure for a fun family day, excellent and well
worth the money!
Had a great time. Tried everything we wanted. Paddle boats, kayak and paddle board. Good value because you can try all of it instead of just hiring one thing. Will go again. Safe area and pleasant staff

The Texas legislature is more than halfway through its biennial 140 day sprint, and I doubt anyone's surprised at the level of heated political rhetoric. Still, somehow in the midst of this political morass, a few bills that would help modernize both our electric grid and energy markets have begun to move. These bills may not make or break the clean energy industry but they can help break down outdated market barriers and get rid of unnecessary red tape. That would go a long way toward bringing more solar power, energy efficiency and customer choice to the state.
While they may not make the market in Texas, they will make the market work. New business models are helping customers make the investments they want in renewable energy and efficiency, and the continuing decline in technology cost makes these changes all the more critical. For instance, Senate bill 981 offered by Chairman Carona, would free third party ownership models like those offered by SunEdison from the regulatory webs in Texas that have prevented an aggressive investment in new technology in most of the state. It also would get rid of the outdated requirement for anyone with a solar panel on their roof to register as a wholesale power generator.
It's remarkable that during a session filled with so much politics and rhetoric, a sensible bill to cut red tape in Texas that keeps new businesses from growing is making its way through the process. The bill was passed by the Senate Committee on Business and Commerce late last month and will hopefully pass through the Senate quickly, heading to the House. Another bill, SB 1501 from Sen. Watson would allow smart grid companies like Tendril, Incenergy (an Austin startup) and oPower to use one of the nation's smartest grids to provide customers with detailed usage information that will reduce their electricity consumption. The bill, which passed out of committee last week will bring innovative businesses and industries to Texas, and benefit electric consumers at the same time. Its companion legislation, HB 2709 from Rep. Turner will be heard in the House Committee on State Affairs this Wednesday.
Speaking of the House, there have already been positive hearings on a few important bills, notably HB 340 from Rep. Pete Gallego and HB 774 from Rep. Anchia. The first bill is similar to SB 981 but also includes an important provision that would ensure customers would get a fair rate from their utility on any excess renewable electricity they generate at their home, church or school. Historically this has been an issue of heated debate between customers and their utilities, but Rep. Gallego and his staff deserve credit for working over the last few sessions to bring together a broad consensus. Thanks to a series of meetings led by Rep. Gallego and TXU Energy that consensus seems to be very near and hopefully we'll see the bill move forward in the process this week.
Rep. Anchia's HB 774, which sets a goal for the state of building 1,500 MW of non-wind renewable energy received a very positive hearing in the House Committee on Energy Resources. The bill's companion in the Senate, Sen. Watson's SB 330 has yet to be heard in the Committee on Natural Resources, nor has Chairman Fraser's SB 492 solar omnibus bill. As Chairman Keffer summed it up near the end of the Energy Resources hearing, the bill helps the state avoid "putting all our eggs in one basket" but the Chairman pointed out some political concerns relating to the bill. Since the bill seeks to replicate our success with wind, one of both our current and former Governor's favorite bragging points, its unclear why this issue would be politicized.
Another key bill is from Rep. Darby: HB 2961 would create a statewide solar program that would develop residential, commercial and utility scale solar in Texas. The solar industry is one of the fastest growing and most dynamic industries in the world, with manufacturing plants being built in Tennessee, Michigan, Pennsylvania and a handful of other states. So far Texas has failed to attract this dynamic industry, and HB 2961, which is up for a hearing this Wednesday, seeks to reverse that trend and bring new businesses to the state.
For the now the future of any of the bills that would jumpstart the development of solar power or other renewables is less clear. That's bad new for the businesses looking to come to Texas to grow, but at least there is some good news during a pretty difficult session.

We need to move a couple of tonnes of fine quicklime powder per day over a distance of 300 metres on a clean work site.
Does anyone know of a standard container we could purchase that would allow us to fill it through the top and empty it into a Screw Conveyor for dosing to the process?
We would only need 5 - 10 units.
With thanks in expectation

My heart is full today.
I just looked through the pictures from Maddox's dedication and Mason's 5th birthday party.
I will share more soon, but here's a sneak peek....
Is that not the cutest cake you have ever seen????
After the party ended Saturday night and we got the house put back together, we officially listed our house for sale. It is a bittersweet decision, but we are trusting God on this one. We honestly have no idea where we will end up and are looking in about 3 different areas of town.
Because of all the craziness this week, I got a bit behind on my Bible reading. Remember that plan to read it in 90 days? Yeah. I spent every quiet (or half-quiet) moment reading and catching up yesterday. I almost made it. I ended the day with just 7 chapters left in yesterday's reading. So, I am about to do that and today's reading now. While Max is sleeping. And Mason and Miles are at school/MDO. LOVE a quiet house.
(Updated: finished yesterday's reading. On to today's. Will have read thru 2 Chronicles 23 by bedtime tonight!)
Ok, here's
one two more.....(I can't leave the middle child out or Uncle Kelley will call me out on it!)

How to Cheat on Essays
So you've been assigned a book by your teacher, and been told to read it. Chances are, the book sucks, and you have no desire at all to read it. So what do you do? Do you force yourself through the book, hating every second of it, while you take notes about the boring stuff that happens in it?
Or do you do it the easier way, through cheating, where you don't have to waste hours of your life on something you don't want to do? The choice is yours - but I must tell you that you shouldn't make cheating a habit - it should only be used when you have a painfully boring book assignment, or when you have no other choice.
Anyways, here are the best 3 ways to go about cheating on essays and book reports.
Reading a Short Version of the Book
This is the safest way to cheat on your book assignment and will never be found out by your teacher. However, it also requires a lot of work compared to the other choices you have.
What you do is you find a short version of the book you've been assigned (which can almost always be found online or in book stores if the book is popular). There should be at least one version that's 50 pages or less.
Then you just read the book and write your essay on that - saving yourself the time it would take to read the actual, full-sized book. If this is still too much work for you though, you could always try;
Reading And Combining Finished Reviews
This is by far the greatest way to cheat on essays, and will wield the best results. It also requires substantially less work than reading a short version of the book.
What you do is you google the name of the book while adding the word "review" at the end. You should now find several great reviews of the book you're researching. All you have to do now is to read through a couple of them (at least 2 or 3), take out the good parts and write them down with your own words and style.
If done properly, this technique is virtually untraceable, and since you've taken ideas from a lot of good reviewers, you will most likely get a good grade as well. Of course, the more reviews you read, the more good thoughts about the book you'll find to put into your own essay, which will lead to an even higher grade.
Having Someone Else do the Work For You
This is the hardest way to do it, but if you manage to pull it off, it will require the least amount of work from you, and you most likely won't even have to touch the book you're doing a report on.
However, in order to use this strategy, you must first find someone who's willing to actually do the work for you. This can be quite difficult, and can come at a high price. But if you're still bent on doing it this way, make sure the person who writes for you is at least as good at writing essays as you are. Otherwise it's just useless.
Also, keep in mind that this is the least honorable of the three methods of cheating. The other ones, while still being a lazier choice than doing the actual assignment, at least involve doing some form of work of your own, while this method just relies on leeching off of others.

Mirapakay Movie Review By Chetan
Caption: Very Spicy…
Mr Bankable Ravi Teja is back again with energetic entertainer, by giving first success to Telugu Film Industry in the year 2011 in the form of Mirapakay. Mass Raja Ravi Teja has given full length comedy entertainer packed with tight action sequences to his fans for this Pongal Festive Season.
Coming to the story Rishi (Ravi Teja) is an Inspector in Intelligence Bureau, joins a college in Hyderabad as Hindi lecturer upon the order of his superior (Nagababu) to fulfill an operation. How he fulfills the operation forms the rest of the story.
Richa Gangopadyaya, Deeksha Seth fit to their roles and are good. Spoof dialogues by Ravi Teja from some of block busters of Tollywood fit to the context and added some spice to his comedy. Though Prakash Raj has very limited character entire story runs in search of him. Kota Srinivas Rao has given his best, once again in Telangana accent.
Director Harish Shankar has taken much care in story and screen-play by keeping Ravi Teja's image in mind. Though his first movie Shock with Ravi Teja is a disaster, Harish Shankar has given his best efforts in making this marquee, a watchable one. All the characters in the movie fit in the context, except few characters in the college back drop, which appears to be added for the sake of comedy. Colors Swathi guest appearance is also for the same.
Music by Thaman S, is not upto the mark, though he has given extra ordinary music for Ravi Teja earlier flick Kick.
And of course the most happy person is Ramesh Puppala, producer of the movie, not compromised anywhere in filming this marquee.
On the whole Mirapakay is must watch movie for all movie lovers and especially for those who likes Ravi Teja Comedy.
Rating: 3.5/5
