- simes7 years, 11 months ago #7Show comment tools ReplyShame its the 360 and not the 300
No cheap compatible inks are available for the 360 model.
I suppose its a good deal for those that are prepared to pay the scandalous costs for manufacturers replacement ink.
- greyster7 years, 11 months ago #8Show comment tools Replyi think its just cos the printer is soo new .... they are probably on their way [third party ink replacments].
- beerman17 years, 11 months ago #9Show comment tools ReplyVoted hot. It's difficult to get the R200 for £60 so to get an R360 for just a few quid more is a bloody great price mate.
- gary_rip7 years, 11 months ago #10Show comment tools ReplyTypo in title... Needs to be corrected to 360.
- fu510n7 years, 11 months ago #11Show comment tools ReplyI have the R300 and i love it to bits, so id say the chances are that the next model up is even better. Great find :thumbsup:

You can buy throw away printers if you like but their performance would not be any great shakes.
- topdealman7 years, 11 months ago #16Show comment tools ReplyThinking about this deal as it looks great value, but just a question on the cartridges.
You need the below to use printer
* T0801 - Black
* T0802 - Cyan
* T0803 - Magenta
* T0804 - Yellow
* T0805 - Light Cyan
* T0806 - Light Magenta
Are any cartridges bundled with printer?
How many 6 x 4 prints would a full set of cartridges do?
Can you switch it to just the black cartridge when you want to save ink, when printing word documents for example, So you need only replace the black ink if not doing photos all the time?
Is this the best option or is there something else better, thinking about ink costs in particular?
- Kirsty2627 years, 10 months ago #17Show comment tools ReplyI have just posted a question asking for the best prices on this printer (didn't realise there was already a thread) :-(
I too would like to know if the machine comes with ink and roughly how many photos you can print out before replacing the inks
Thank you

Housewife JoAnn Demonbreun says she tries to vote in every election, but this time around, she is stepping up her participation.
With five open seats on the Killeen City Council, she is now vying for her very own seat on the dais.
"People need to get out and do something," She said. "I've always heard 'You get the government that you demand.' If you don't demand it, you don't get it."
Demonbreun knows facing off against 15 other candidates isn not going to be easy.
"There's going to be some of us disappointed, but as long as you try the best you can do, that's it," she said.
One of those 15, Ralph Cossey Jr., is no stranger to the process. He unsuccessfully ran in 2009 and applied for an appointment last year.
With his service on several city committees, this software development manager feels he has a better grasp on what residents are looking for.
"I'd like to see citizens have more hope that their voices will definitely be heard," Cossey Jr. said.
He says his past professional experience as an accountant and financial analyst will also be assets.
"We're way behind in studying the budget and finding out what the expenditures are and what people are spending money on," he said. "Management in the city has to be the first priority of the council, making sure we have a sound foundation of leaders."
Demonbreun and Cossey Jr. will find out if their fellow residents agree on May 12 when they cast their votes.

Lucia di Lammermoor (The Met Live in HD)Posted by keris9 under HD-Live , Metropolitan Opera , Opera review , Donizetti, Gaetano , Summers, Patrick , Kwangchul, Yun , Zimmerman, Mary , Dessay, Natalie , Calleja, Joseph , Tézier, Ludovic , Lucia di Lammermoor

Gaetano Donizetti – Lucia di Lammermoor
The Metropolitan Opera, New York | Patrick Summers, Mary Zimmerman, Natalie Dessay, Joseph Calleja, Ludovic Tézier, Kwangchul Youn | The Met: Live in HD - March 19, 2011
Donizetti's bel canto operas, with their emphasis on elaborate ornamentation of extremely challenging vocal parts that would give their lead players an opportunity to demonstrate the virtuosity of their singing, were considered somewhat old-fashioned even by the end of the nineteenth century when the huge influence of Richard Wagner put dramatic content back at the heart of the music-drama. Of all Donizetti's operas, it's the dramatic tragedy of Lucia de Lammermoor (1835) that is considered to be the opera that gives its prima donna the opportunity to demonstrate her vocal prowess.
It's a role therefore that Natalie Dessay, along with perhaps La Fille du Regiment, is most associated with, and it's clearly a role that the French soprano relishes. Dessay starred in the first run of the oft-criticised Mary Zimmerman's much-maligned 2007 production, and, indulged by the current conductor Patrick Summers, she clearly delights in adding a capella embellishments to the coloratura – particularly in Lucia's "Mad Scene" at her wedding. There were some worrying signs at the start of the performance that her voice might no longer be quite up to it or that it was showing signs of tiredness perhaps from rather overdoing things in the current run of performances (this Live in HD broadcast was the last Lucia of the season), but Dessay in her interval interview put it down to a dry throat, and certainly didn't let it affect her extraordinary performance elsewhere.
What is even more wonderful about her performance is that, while fully rising to the challenges of Lucia's vocal parts, she also managed to remain focussed on her character's dramatic journey of gradual disintegration. Lucia is torn between she man she loves, Edgardo di Ravenswood, and the duty towards her family, the Ashtons, and comes to feel that she is being used in the great feud that has existed between the two families. Those concerns are heightened by her own fragile state of mind, one perhaps made fragile because of the long-running rivalry that has seen other tragic events take place, events in the past that leave ghosts in the grounds of Lammermoor castle that still haunt Lucia.
Based on a novel by Sir Walter Scott, this is the stuff of pure melodrama however, and it can't honestly be said that Donizetti seeks to give it any greater psychological depth or dramatic credibility, either through the playing out of the intense scenes or through any subtlety in the musical composition of the piece. It's straightforward blood-and-thunder melodrama fuelled by jealousy and political rivalry (one can see the huge influence the piece has on the works of Verdi in this respect, as well as in some of the musical arrangements), with expressions of deeply romantic and forbidden love, swooning heroines, challenges to duels – the restored Wolf's Crag scene, often cut, is intact here at the beginning of Act 3, only adding to an already over-heated situation – and of course a descent into pure madness and death with thunderstorms raging outside.
All of which would seem to give credence to the rather old-fashioned nature of the opera as little more than a dramatic piece for the leading diva to show off her credentials, and in some cases even make a name for herself. To mess about with any of these elements or to try to downplay those excesses could prove fatal to the sheer crowd-pleasing enjoyment that the opera, with its beautiful melodies and dramatic sense of purpose nevertheless contains. This production somehow manages to successfully retain all these elements, while also managing to give a little more depth to the piece, or at least, by even including the presence of real ghosts, throw up other elements for consideration.
Partly, that's down to the fine production that stirs up echoes of the best cinematic equivalents – the likes of Hitchcock's Rebecca, the 1943 Jane Eyre starring Orson Welles and Joan Fontaine and even Dreyer's silent film Michael – films likewise of a bygone age, made during the silent period or shortly afterwards, made to a style that is somewhat old-fashioned now, but still retaining an enormous power of the "they don't make them like that anymore" kind. They don't make operas like Lucia di Lammermoor anymore either, but they should be cherished and lavished with a sympathetic presentation and that is fully achieved in the elaborate sets that reach upwards, like an old film in academy ratio rather than in widescreen. If filmed, and shown in black-and-white, this Lucia di Lammermoor could convincingly pass for a film from the late 1930s or early 1940s, in its style, in its content and in its production values.
Given that kind of stage to work with, each of the singers fully enter into the spirit of the drama, but some try to bring a little more shading to the characters. Vocally, all fully meet the demands – Dessay, evidently, but Joseph Callejo is a bit of a revelation, with a classic tenor voice that, with a bit more robustness and fitting of it into a more solid dramatic context, will be a fine singer of bel canto and Verdi dramas. In his interval interview, Ludovic Tézier made some interesting observations about his Enrico, seeing him not just as a stereotypical baritone baddie, but as a character who is as cracked and has been pushed as close to madness as Lucia, adding a further dimension to the tragedy.
On the actual Met Live in HD production itself, Lucia di Lammermoor was one of the more fascinating broadcasts of the season from a backstage point of view, Renée Fleming presenting and managing to get a wealth of behind-the-scenes information from the performers, from the Irish Wolfhound handlers and from backstage crew managers. The two intervals drew out a relatively swift moving opera to excessive lengths (there have been some criticisms of this in the press), but the sheer scale of the elaborate production was revealed in such fascinating detail that the audience at the cinema I attended sat glued to the screen watching the stage-hands manoeuvre it all into place. Along with the success of this particular performance, the clever promotion for the next production, Le Comte Ory, another star-studded bel canto opera, will ensure that the growing attendance at these broadcasts will all be back for more of the same in two weeks time.

listings | Format only Digits
Hello guys.
With the listings package I want only digits in orange. No strings or comments. I've looked at many topics about it on the internet but are not very satisfactory. I'll explain below:
Note: This is for RGSS, of RPG Maker.
Is this really possible? Thank you for your attention.
Re: listings | Format only Digits
Hi Tedd,
Welcome to the board!
I am not aware of an automatic way for this. The only way I can think of is a not very convenient one: declare the digits to be letters (as far as »listings« is concerned) and declare all digits that should be formatted as keywords with an own keywordstyle:
Maybe minted has better possibilities?

Re: listings | Format only Digits
Oh, really thanks cgnieder!
So you think the minted package is best for this case?
I'm new in LaTeX, I am studying just a month ago. I started with listings beacause i found more material, but i will find out about this package. As would be done in minted this example? Could you exemplify?
Thankful. Tedd.
Re: listings | Format only Digits
Actually I don't know. I fairly familiar with »listings« but I have never used »minted« before. I just heard that it is quite powerful, too. So I think you should at least take a look.

A whiter shade of… – well, of what exactly?
There's a scene in the movie based on Roddy Doyle's novel, The Commitments, where one of the characters is discussing the Procol Harum song, A Whiter Shade of Pale, with a Roman Catholic priest. Getting to the bit in the lyrics where 'sixteen vestal virgins [are] leaving for the coast', both admit they have no idea what on earth that is supposed to mean. Indeed, the lyrics of the song as a whole are a mystery to most. There are, as you would expect with such things, all sorts of theories, including that it was about being high on cocaine, waking up from a dream, an interpretation of a Chaucer poem, the end of a relationship, and so forth. The songwriters themselves have never said, and my own theory is that the words have no deeper meaning at all; but who am I to know anything?
Anyway, Whiter Shade has just been declared to be (in one of those odd league tables) the 'most played song in public places' over the past 75 years, beating Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody into second place. And would you believe it, there is not a single Beatles song in the top 10, though they then enter big time in the 11-20 places.
Whiter Shade of Pale was a hugely enigmatic song, with its mysterious lyrics and its Bach-like opening. The band did have other hits, though none as big, and indeed they are still singing and even recording. But for many people this song was the signature tune of my generation, and it continued to be that long after those vestal virgins must have reached the coast.culture, music

That list is very questionable… Wet Wet Wet? Not right.
July 4, 2009 at 4:36 am
Ok, I can't let this one go by.
This song is obviously about death from an overdose of drugs. The drug referred to in the song is coke, but it could be any drug overdose. The "miller" is obvious, and key to the song's meaning.. A "miller" is any type of moth that has white, powdery wings. Look it up. The first verse of the song obviously describes the trip the author is on. Ever been on one? This is exactly it. Could have written this verse if I'd known the words. And who said there was not readily-available coke in the late 60s? You apparently didn't live in the 60s.]
Think about it. When is something a whiter shade of pale? Ever seen a corpse in a coffin? Death is when you are a whiter shade of pale. Nothing on earth is the ghostly color of a corpse.
"And so it was that later as the miller told his tale that her face, [at first].. just ghostly,[then] turned a whiter shade of pale [as she died]. She [death] said, 'There is no reason and the truth is plain to see.' But I wandered through my playing cards and would not let her be one of sixteen vestal virgins who were leaving for the coast and although my eyes were open they might have just as well've been closed."
The "she" here is death. There is no reason for the author's death. The author here is being mocked by the very drug (death) that enticed him. The author's fate was out of his hands (… I would not let her [death] be) when he became addicted to the drug. His eyes were wide open, but they might have well been closed. Eyes wide open but might have been closed? That's addiction, people.
What I can't believe here, is that folks are even discussing this. The meaning of this song has been well-known for years. Don't make the song so complicated..! Having trouble with the imagery and symbolism? Think Hotel California..!..!
July 22, 2009 at 7:34 pm
utter nonsense alerek. simply by noting your posting time, i can derive you are probably a fan of white powdery "moths" yourself…any number of band members have indicated the lyrics have no comprehensive meaning and are dismayed that anyone would waste their time trying to extrapolate such. go to bed child, tomorrow is almost here…!
September 21, 2009 at 5:14 pm
Not really that enigmatic, I think. A guy and girl are at a party or club, whooping it up, dancing, drinking probably more than is good for them, and then, after self-medicating their inhibitions, do what young couples frequently do in those circumstances. It may be the girl's first sexual experience, which would explain why she's a little scared as well as drunk — although another possible reason for turning a "whiter shade of pale" is that, as Garrison Keillor once said, she's about to ruin the guy's evening as well as his best shoes. But I doubt that, because we know for sure that she is NOT going to be one of those 16 virgins, Vestal or otherwise, who are leaving the party. The final two stanzas, which PH didn't record (would have made the song too long) includes a few more not very subtle puns about crash-diving into the ocean bed, after a little more poety obfuscation about mermaids. But we know what these two are up to.

lyrics from geoffery chaucer novel the millers tale
April 3, 2014 at 6:48 am
I think it has another meaning. First, one of the most important thing is the phrase: "As the miller told his tale", that is related to "The Canterbury Tales: The Miller's Tale". This it is about a carpenter who was cheated by his beautiful wife and his guest. Other lines in the song refer to this story too.
It is easy to think about drugs, it doesn't matters because the context and the 70s crazy decade.
"But I wandered through my playing cards
And they would not let her be
One of sixteen vestal virgins" means it is obvious (the cards are saying) she is not "pure" at her 16 years old… that´s one of the reason she is pale (maybe she is dead because of drugs too)
This is a song written by KEITH REID, GARY BROOKER and this part is missing (not sang by Procol harum):
She said, "I'm here on a shore leave,"
Though we were miles at sea.
I pointed out this detail
And forced her to agree,
Saying, "You must be the mermaid
Who took King Neptune for a ride."
And she smiled at me so sweetly
That my anger straightway died.
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
If music be the food of love
Then laughter is it's queen
And likewise if behind is in front
Then dirt in truth is clean
My mouth by then like cardboard
Seemed to slip straight through my head
So we crash-dived straightway quickly
And attacked the ocean bed
And so it was that later
As the miller told his tale
That her face, at first just ghostly,
Turned a whiter shade of pale
(I´m sorry, my english is not so good)

Tony Sipp Rumors
Nationals Notes: Astros, Hill, Prado, Iglesias
It's difficult to tell whether the Nationals could be very busy or stand pat before the trade deadine, Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post writes. It seems like the Nats are at least exploring a number of options, as Kilgore reports…
- The Nationals have asked the Astros about available relievers, and Houston had scouts watching the Nats' Triple-A and Class A affiliates over the weekend. Left-hander Tony Sipp best fits the Nationals' needs, Kilgore surmises, since Washington is thin on southpaw relief options.
- The Nationals haven't talked to the Diamondbacks about Aaron Hill or Martin Prado. Either player could fill the hole at second base created by Ryan Zimmerman's injury (Anthony Rendon moved to third), or Prado could simply play third and Rendon could return to second. Kilgore isn't sure the Nats want to pay Hill the $26MM he's owed through 2016, however, though Hill loved playing for manager Matt Williams when Williams was a D'Backs coach. Arizona is reportedly shopping Hill but "barely listening" to inquiries about Prado.
- With Jose Iglesias possibly on the trade block in Detroit, Kilgore thinks the Nats could be interested given the team's desire to add a young shortstop as depth if Ian Desmond can't be extended. The Tigers had a scout watching the Nationals' Class A team recently, Kilgore notes, though that isn't necessarily related to Iglesias.
- Speaking of scouting assignments, the Rangers had an evaluator watching a recent game between the Nationals' and Braves' Triple-A teams. The two NL East rivals are both known to be looking for relief pitching.
- Washington had scouts watching two recent Red Sox series, and Kilgore figures that they were checking out relievers Koji Uehara and Andrew Miller. Earlier today, Peter Gammons reported that the Nats were interested in Miller.

West Notes: Aiken, Qualls, Sipp, Kemp, Padres, D'backs
Nick J. Faleris of Baseball Prospectus provides a thorough account of the Brady Aiken failed signing from both his perspective and that of the Astros. Anyone with interest will want to give it a full read; I'm still working through the lengthy (but entirely worthwhile) piece myself.
Here's the latest from the game's western divisions:
- The Astros are unlikely to deal away any of the club's young starting pitching but are definitely listening on relievers Chad Qualls and Tony Sipp, reports Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com. In particular, the Tigers have asked about Qualls, who has served as the Houston closer of late, according to Heyman. Meanwhile, there has not been much discussion of other Astros veterans such as Scott Feldman, Dexter Fowler, and Jason Castro.
- Though some around the league believe the Dodgers are highly motivated to deal former star Matt Kemp, the Red Sox were not left with that impression after making an inquiry, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. At least three other American League teams have also asked about Kemp's availability, including the Indians, Mariners, and Rangers, but Rosenthal says that none have made trade proposals. Cleveland and Texas both appear unlikely partners, while Seattle could have an outside chance of adding him. Though moving Kemp poses many difficult questions for the Dodgers, Rosenthal says that the veteran is "at odds" with manager Don Mattingly.
- Taking a look at a Padres club that has already dealt away several veterans, Rosenthal writes that the team should also move outfielder Chris Denorfia. But key pitchers Ian Kennedy and Joaquin Benoit are under control for 2015, and Rosenthal opines that the team's new GM ought to make the call on them.
- A new GM is, of course, at or near the Padres' priority list, and the club is indeed nearing a conclusion of its search. Bob Nightengale of USA Today tweets that the club will finish up its second round of interviews on Thursday and hopes to have a new GM installed within two to three weeks.
- The Diamondbacks have exhibited a startling tendency, writes Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic: former pitchers have succeeded elsewhere while newly-acquired arms have struggled. Piecoro lists Brandon McCarthy, Kennedy, Tyler Skaggs, and Trevor Bauer as examples of the former phenomenon, with Trevor Cahill, Randall Delgado, and Addison Reed representing the latter. For his part, GM Kevin Towers says it is not a result of anything the organization is doing differently: "It's not anything that we're doing in the minor leagues or development or up here that prevents guys from having success," he said. "Especially young guys, they usually get better with time and experience in the big leagues. The reason why guys get better [elsewhere] isn't because we don't have good instructors here. I believe in our staff and in our farm system and the people we have down there."

Cafardo On Price, Cardinals, Hamels, Benoit
In today's column, Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe wonders if the Red Sox will succumb to fan pressure and re-sign Jon Lester. Lester turned down a four-year, $70MM offer from the Red Sox in spring training and other clubs will almost certainly offer six- or seven-year deals if he reaches the open market. Boston, of course, doesn't want to go that far. "If that's your philosophy you can't make exceptions or it will be viewed as a joke," said one American League general manager. "If you vary from it, that sends a weak message to the baseball community, agents etc., when it comes with dealing with other players. I think the players themselves need to know where you stand as an organization, and if you keep deviating that sends the wrong message." Here's more from today's column..
- The Mariners don't mind dealing for Rays ace David Price without an agreement in place for a long-term deal, but that's not the case for everyone. The Cardinals are interested in Price but would want a financial commitment, a major league source tells Cafardo. Cafardo cautions not to rule out the Giants, who also have had interest in Ben Zobrist.
- The Phillies have been discouraged by what they're hearing from other teams on Cole Hamels. The Phillies consider him their biggest trade chip, but will hold on to him if they don't get what they consider a fair deal. The Red Sox sent their top pitching scout to watch the hurler before the break and the Phillies have scouted Boston's major and minor league teams all season. One major league source said if the Phillies get a taker on the full contract and they get three top prospects, he's gone, and Hamels, according to another major league source, wouldn't mind.
- Joaquin Benoit is one of the most sought after relievers on the market but a Padres official tells Cafardo that they won't just give him away.
- Chad Qualls has resurrected his career with the Astros and teams are calling on him, according to a major league source. Houston left-hander Tony Sipp has also drawn interest.
- A.J. Pierzynski, who cleared waivers Friday, has told agent Steve Hilliard that he would like to continue playing.

Astros Notes: Luhnow, Fowler, Castro, Rule 5
This trade deadline could be a quiet but a fascinating one for the Astros, as the team may still willing to move veteran players but not only for prospects, Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle writes. "We're going to do anything that presents itself that will improve our club," GM Jeff Luhnow said. "We're not going to focus only on the next two months. We're also not going to focus only on 2017 and beyond. We're going to focus on any moves that we think can help in both the short term and the long term. That may be nothing; it may be several things."
Here's some more from Drellich's broad overview of what the Astros could explore over the next two months…
- Dexter Fowler and Jason Castro would've likely been trade candidates in past years given the Astros' veteran-dealing strategy since Luhnow took over. Now, however, the GM says he wants both players to be Astros "for a while. And they're still under team control, and there are opportunities to keep them beyond team control."
- Fowler told Drellich that he hadn't had any extension talks to keep him in Houston beyond the end of the 2015 season, when his current contract expires.
- Castro's trade value has dropped thanks to a poor season, though Houston is known to have explored dealing the catcher thanks to the team's recently-leaked trade notes. Castro is under team control through 2016 and the Astros have catching prospect Max Stassi at Triple-A.
- Drellich thinks every member of the bullpen "feels moveable." Once some injured relievers return, Luhnow said "we would probably have surplus in the bullpen, and bullpen is one of those areas that clubs that feel like they're in contention for a division or wild card oftentimes need some depth. Something could happen there, but there's nothing right now that seems obvious."
- Tony Sipp and Chad Qualls both figure to draw interest from other teams, though Drellich isn't sure the Astros would trade Chad Qualls so soon after he signed a two-year deal with the club last winter. Dealing a player relatively soon after a multiyear commitment could harm the team's standing with future free agents.
- On the minor league front, Houston has so many quality prospects that they can't protect them all via the Rule 5 draft. Some prospects may have to be traded if the organization doesn't truly see them as long-term pieces.

Stark On Yankees, Brown, Astros, Papelbon, Dodgers
ESPN's Jayson Stark hosted a chat with readers today and touched on a number of hot stove topics with the July 31 non-waiver trade deadline roughly a month away. Here are some highlights, though the entire thing is worth a read-through for those interested in next month's deadline…
- Stark has received no indications that the Yankees are shopping for a third baseman. He hears that they're prioritizing the rotation over everything else at this time.
- Domonic Brown's trade value is dropping by the day, says Stark. Scouts have been watching Brown (and the Phillies in general) over the past couple of weeks, and Philadelphia is trying to bill Brown as "a guy who did it once before so he can do it again." However, Stark has a hard time seeing Brown fetching anything more than another change-of-scenery candidate.
- Jeff Luhnow and the Astros view most relievers as interchangeable parts, making it likely that they'll be very willing to move names like Chad Qualls and Tony Sipp next month.
- Right-hander Ken Giles has impressed so much that Stark expects the Phillies to ratchet up their efforts to trade Jonathan Papelbon, and with Papelbon pitching better than he has in years, this is the perfect time to do it, he opines. Giles has thrown just seven innings for the Phils, but he's averaged 97.1 mph on his heater with a 12-to-3 K/BB ratio and a ground-ball rate north of 55 percent.
- The Dodgers have been telling teams that they won't move Joc Pederson or Corey Seager this summer, according to Stark. If that's indeed the case, that should take them out of the running for David Price (in my opinion).
- Stark doesn't get the sense that the Tigers are shopping for a closer, which meshes with yesterday's comments from GM Dave Dombrowski. Detroit doesn't think Joe Nathan is finished yet.

AL West Links: Rangers, Tepesch, Blanks, Sipp, McHugh
The surprising outbreak of injuries to Rangers pitchers has forced GM Jon Daniels to turn his attention from an underperforming offense to the gaping holes in the rotation, writes MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan. Texas will rely on Colby Lewis, Nick Tepesch, Robbie Ross and Nick Martinez to fill in behind ace Yu Darvish for the time being, with Scott Baker representing an alternative as Joe Saunders and Derek Holland mend. Daniels' preference is to remain in-house, writes Sullivan, who also briefly notes that the Rangers have scouted Kendrys Morales to help the offense, but don't want to meet his asking price.
Here are some more links pertaining to the Rangers' pitching woes and the rest of the AL West…
- Over at Fangraphs, Dave Cameron compares injured Rangers lefty Martin Perez to his likely replacement — Nick Tepesch. Cameron points out that despite Perez's prospect status and the perception that Tepesch doesn't have as much ceiling, the two have had remarkably similar results in their short careers. Tepesch's ERA looks worse due to a high BABIP with runner in scoring position, but aside from that, they compare favorably. While Tepesch's numbers have come in a smaller sample, his recent work at Triple-A and his MLB track record cause the ZiPS and Steamer projection systems to project that he'll be as good or better than Perez over the rest of the season.
- Joe Stiglich of CSN Bay Area was among the reporters to speak with Athletics GM Billy Beane about his acquisition of Kyle Blanks. The A's were looking for a right-handed bat that could capably play both first base and the outfield, and Beane feels that Blanks fits that bill "exactly," adding that "there aren't many out there." As Stiglich notes, Tommy John surgery and shoulder surgery have slowed what once looked to be a promising career for Blanks. Said Beane: "He was a pretty highly thought of prospect coming through the minors. It looked like he was going to be that guy in the majors until injuries derailed him."
- The Astros have gotten big contributions from lefty Tony Sipp and right-hander Collin McHugh in the season's early stages, but Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports that the team's first attempts to acquire each player failed. The Astros pursued Sipp this offseason and made an offer before he elected to sign with the Padres, and GM Jeff Luhnow told Drellich he tried to acquire McHugh from the Mets and Rockies in trades last season.
- Within that same piece, Luhnow discussed the early success of left-hander Dallas Keuchel, which has come as no surprise to him. Each member of the Astros front office made a "pick to click" during Spring Training this year, writes Drellich, and Luhnow's was Keuchel, and the GM certainly makes it sound like Keuchel is viewed as a long-term rotation piece. "He's never been handed a job … I think after this year he will put himself in a position where that's no longer a question."

Astros Sign Tony Sipp
1:09pm: The Astros have officially announced the signing, adding that right-hander Jesse Crain has been transferred to the 60-day DL in order to create room on the 40-man roster, and right-hander Paul Clemens has been optioned to Triple-A to create room on the 25-man roster.
FRIDAY, 7:29am: Evan Drellich of the Houston Chronicle reports that Sipp's deal will pay him "roughly" $700K if he hits all of the incentives (Twitter link).
THURSDAY: Left-hander Tony Sipp has asked for and been granted his release by the Padres so that he can sign a Major League contract with the Astros, Dennis Lin of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports (on Twitter). Sipp, 30, is a client of the Bledsoe Brothers Athlete Agency.
Though Sipp's ERA with San Diego's Triple-A affiliate was a somewhat pedestrian 4.30, he posted an outstanding 21-to-2 K/BB ratio in his 14 2/3 innings of work at El Paso this season. He inked a minor league deal with the Friars this offseason and elected not to opt out of his deal when his first opt-out date (March 26) came up.
Sipp has significant Major League experience under his belt, as he's pitched at least 37 2/3 innings in the big leagues in each of the past five seasons. In that time, he's compiled a 3.84 ERA with 9.3 K/9, 4.6 BB/9 and a 29.9 percent ground-ball rate. Over the course of his five Major League seasons, Sipp has held opposing left-handed hitters to a .224 average and .306 OBP, but he's been homer-prone against same-handed hitters, yielding a .426 slugging percentage and allowing a homer every 22.3 plate appearances.
Houston's bullpen has struggled this season, posting the worst ERA (5.86) and FIP (5.11) in all of Major League Baseball. In particular, left-handed relievers Raul Valdes and Kevin Chapman have struggled, allowing eight earned runs and issuing 10 walks in just seven innings of work.

NL West Notes: Kershaw, Figgins, Sipp, Sandoval
Clayton Kershaw has been scratched from the Dodgers' North American opener against the Padres on Sunday, the club announced. The left-hander is suffering from inflammation of the teres major muscle in his upper back and the Dodgers are understandably being very cautious with their ace, though Kershaw still intends to start the Dodgers' home opener against the Giants on April 4. Kershaw also told reporters (including MLB.com's Ken Gurnick) that he didn't believe his injury was caused either by his 102-pitch outing in the Dodgers' opener against the Diamondbacks or the long flights back and forth from Australia.
Here's some more from around the NL West…
- Chone Figgins is thankful to be back on a Major League roster after his struggles of the last few seasons, which included missing the entire 2013 campaign, the utilityman tells Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times. Figgins signed a minor league deal with the Dodgers in January and while he hasn't hit much in Spring Training, his on-base ability and positional versatility were enough for him to win a bench job.
- Tony Sipp won't opt out of his contract with the Padres, MLBDailyDish.com's Chris Cotillo reports (via Twitter). Sipp was told earlier in the week that he wouldn't make San Diego's Opening Day roster and he could've opted out of his minor league deal today, but will instead report to Triple-A. The southpaw faces another opt-out date on June 1.
- At least two years and $50MM separate Pablo Sandoval and the Giants in extension talks, and the large gap is indicative of how wary the Giants are about committing a long-term deal to Sandoval, John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle writes. Notable players like Curt Schilling, Carlos Lee and Delmon Young have signed contracts with weight clauses in the past, but the MLBPA "frowns on them, especially for marquee free agents." Shea lists the Yankees, Dodgers and Red Sox as teams who could be looking for a third base upgrade next winter when Sandoval is a free agent, and Shea thinks Sandoval could find his price on the open market.

Padres To Sign Tony Sipp
9:41am: Sipp's deal includes opt-out dates of March 26 and June 1, MLB Daily Dish's Chris Cotillo tweets.
8:31am: The Padres have agreed to terms with lefty reliever Tony Sipp on a minor-league deal. Sipp, 30, posted a 4.78 ERA with 10.0 K/9 and 5.3 BB/9 in 37 2/3 innings for the Diamondbacks in 2013. The Diamondbacks designated him for assignment in November. He had pitched the previous four seasons for the Indians before heading to Arizona in the three-team Shin-Soo Choo deal.
In addition to Sipp, the Padres have recently added Alex Torres (via a trade with the Rays) and Patrick Schuster (via the Rule 5 Draft) as potential lefty bullpen options. GM Josh Byrnes said in November that the Padres would attempt to add lefty relievers this offseason.

Padres Nearing Minor League Deal With Tony Sipp
The Padres are closing on a minor league deal with southpaw reliever Tony Sipp, according to MLB.com's Corey Brock (on Twitter). Yesterday, it was reported that Sipp, a Bledsoe Brothers client, was nearing a deal with an unknown club.
The 30-year-old Sipp has a career 3.84 ERA with 9.3 K/9, 4.6 BB/9 and a 29.9 percent ground-ball rate. After spending the first four seasons of his career with the Indians, Sipp was included in the three-team deal that sent Shin-Soo Choo to the Reds, Trevor Bauer and Drew Stubbs to the Indians and Didi Gregorius to the D-Backs.
In his lone season with the Snakes, he struggled to a career-worst 4.78 ERA in 37 2/3 innings. Sipp averaged more than five walks per nine innings last season and posted a minuscule 26 percent ground-ball rate, but he also whiffed 10 hitters per nine innings. Should Sipp make the team, his fly-ball tendencies would play significantly better in San Diego's Petco Park than they did in Arizona's Chase Field.
Padres GM Josh Byrnes said left-handed relief was a priority back at the GM Meetings in November, and he's since added Alex Torres in a trade with the Rays and Patrick Schuster via the Rule 5 Draft (acquiring him in a trade from the Astros). Sipp would further add to that depth.

Video: Greg Stiemsma blocks Bismack Biyombo
Alonzo Mourning's relentless defensive mentality sometimes led to unfortunate, life-threatening scenarios like this one, but when he had a split-second to decide between "I could turn the other way and save myself all potential embarrassment or stand my ground and potentially save two points," he always chose the latter answer.
Getting dunked on puts you on the wrong end of SportsCenter Top 10. It puts you on the shameful side of 1 million YouTube hits. It sometimes leads to your last name being part of a new verb, such as, "Damn, that son-of-a-bitch got Mozgov'd," or a trending topic, such as, "#KendrickPerkins."
But a shot-blocker doesn't get my stamp of approval unless he's willing to get dunked on at any moment. Greg Stiemsma chooses to protect his basket regardless of the chances that he might become the latest poster and the brunt of everyone's jokes on Facebook and Twitter. He shrugs off the chances of infamy because he would rather have a chance to stop a bucket.
Bill Russell, Stiemsma is not. But a 6-foot-11 shot-blocking menace with the right attitude, surprisingly nice touch on his mid-range jumper and a willingness to suit up every night even when he needs to leave the arena in a walking boot, can play for me any day.

Part of the reason for the Celtics success this year has been this man. Everybody in the league knows not to come in the paint with this guy lurking. KG, GS, AB I credit with this team getting their swagger back on the defensive end. Flashes of Alonzo Mourning at Charlotte. I feel like it's 1992 all over again.

FXL4TD245 is the industry's first four-bit, low-voltage dual-supply voltage translator with independent-direction controls. The unique control feature increases design flexibility by allowing designers to control the direction of each bit individually compared with typical configurations that control the direction of bidirectional voltage translators in groups of four, eight, or 16 bits. The translator's wide voltage range of 1.1 to 3.6 V simplifies designs and accommodates the voltage requirements of a variety of consumer and industrial applications. In addition, the voltage translator's ultracompact (2.5 × 3.5 mm) DQFN package provides 65% board space savings versus TSSOP packaging, making it suitable for space-constrained, ultraportable computing and consumer applications. The voltage translator is fully configurable: The A port tracks the level of the VCCA supply and the B port tracks the level of the VCCB supply. Both supplies are independent, allowing designers to select the translation levels and set the high side or low side according to their specifications.

VFX Mastermind Gets Directing Debut with 'Goblin'In Development By Scott Beggs on June 22, 2009 | Be the First To Comment
I got a chance to talk to Charles Gibson, the man behind the effects for Terminator Salvation as well as Babe, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Ring a bit ago regarding how he built Terminators for the screen. I asked him if there was any specific character that he was passionate about creating, but apparently I should have been asking whether there was a project he was passionate about directing.
According to Variety, the Academy Award winner is going to step behind the director's chair for the first time with the family film The Goblin.
The story focuses on a family that moves into a house where an unfriendly goblin resides and his efforts to get them to leave. I can only assume that he's also constantly throwing pumpkin bombs on innocent people and trying to kill Spider-man.
It sounds fairly par for the course as far as family films go – being written by Geoff Rodkey, the same writer that brought the world Daddy Day Care and RV. It still only has a rough synopsis, but it sounds a little bit like that Disney television movie that was made in the 1980s called "Mr. Boogedy." Which is awesome. So hopefully this will be equally so.
Gibson has massive experience with visual effects, but also has spent a large amount of time as a second unit director and shares his name with the anchor for ABC World News.
What do you think?

Sec. 33.01. Penalties and Interest.
(a) A delinquent tax incurs a penalty of six percent of the amount of the tax for the first calendar month it is delinquent plus one percent for each additional month or portion of a month the tax remains unpaid prior to July 1 of the year in which it becomes delinquent. However, a tax delinquent on July 1 incurs a total penalty of twelve percent of the amount of the delinquent tax without regard to the number of months the tax has been delinquent. A delinquent tax continues to incur the penalty provided by this subsection as long as the tax remains unpaid, regardless of whether a judgment for the delinquent tax has been rendered.
(b) If a person who exercises the split-payment option provided by Section 31.03 of this code fails to make the second payment before July 1, the second payment is delinquent and incurs a penalty of twelve percent of the amount of unpaid tax.
(c) A delinquent tax accrues interest at a rate of one percent for each month or portion of a month the tax remains unpaid. Interest payable under this section is to compensate the taxing unit for revenue lost because of the delinquency. A delinquent tax continues to accrue interest under this subsection as long as the tax remains unpaid, regardless of whether a judgment for the delinquent tax has been rendered.
(d) In lieu of the penalty imposed under Subsection (a), a delinquent tax incurs a penalty of 50 percent of the amount of the tax without regard to the number of months the tax has been delinquent if the tax is delinquent because the property owner received an exemption under:
(1) Section 11.13 and the chief appraiser subsequently cancels the exemption because the residence was not the principal residence of the property owner and the property owner received an exemption for two or more additional residence homesteads for the tax year in which the tax was imposed;
(2) Section 11.13(c) or (d) for a person who is 65 years of age or older and the chief appraiser subsequently cancels the exemption because the property owner was younger than 65 years of age; or
(3) Section 11.13(q) and the chief appraiser subsequently cancels the exemption because the property owner was younger than 55 years of age when the property owner's spouse died.
(e) A penalty imposed under Subsection (d) does not apply if:
(1) the exemption was granted by the appraisal district or board and not at the request or application of the property owner or the property owner's agent; or
(2) at any time before the date the tax becomes delinquent, the property owner gives to the chief appraiser of the appraisal district in which the property is located written notice of circumstances that would disqualify the owner for the exemption.

FDIC was required to pay the delinquent ad valorem taxes and statutory interest but not attorney's fees, costs, and special assessments on properties held in federal receivership. Travis County v. Resolution Trust Corporation, 61 F. Supp.2d 581 (W.D. Tex 1999).
The Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) is not liable for penalties owed on taxes that become delinquent while the FDIC owns the property. Penalties and interest that accrued before the FDIC became the property's owner cannot be collected while the FDIC owns the property; however, a lien for penalties and interest remains on the property and may be enforced after the FDIC disposes of the property. Irving Independent School District v. Packard Properties; Carrollton-Farmer's Branch Independent School District v. Johnson & Cravens 13911, Inc., 970 F.2d 58 (5th Cir. 1992).
The FDIC is not liable for penalties, interest, and collection costs on delinquent taxes owed by failed savings and loan associations. Irving Independent School District v. Packard Properties, Ltd., 741 F.Supp. 120 (N.D. Tex. 1990).
The FDIC is exempt from foreclosure, sale, fines, and/or penalties in connection with taxes on real estate when it acts as receiver. Ft. Bend County MUD No. 30 v. Gayle, 755 F. Supp. 746 (S.D. Tex. 1990).
The statutory requirement of Section 26.15(d) of preparing and mailing a corrected tax bill did not include postponing the delinquency date in Section 31.04(a), and the corrected tax bill did not void the original tax bill. Richardson Independent School District v. GE Capital Corporation, 58 S.W.3d 290 (Tex. App. - Dallas 2001, no pet.).
Partial tender of assessed taxes prior to the delinquency date was sufficient to preclude imposing penalty and interest on the unpaid balance and to avoid any effort to collect the balance due pending the resolution of the property valuation suit. House Bill 2201 (1997) deleted the unconstitutional portion of Section 42.08(b) and amended Section 42.42 for the due date of a post-appeal supplemental tax bill and the penalty and interest on such bill. By changing the delinquency date for pending valuation cases not yet reduced to judgment, the Legislature did no more than remit a penalty, not release an indebtedness or liability owed to a political subdivision of the State. HB 2201 is not an unconstitutional release of an indebtedness under Article III, Section 55, Texas Constitution. Jefferson County, et. al v. Clark Refining & Marketing, Inc., 7 S.W.3d 324 (Tex. App. - Beaumont 1999, no pet.).
Penalties and interest that accrued as a matter of law while a previous owner of property was in bankruptcy were only voidable, not void, because of the automatic stay provisions in the bankruptcy code. Therefore, only the bankruptcy court had power to invalidate the penalties and interest. Since the bankruptcy court did not do so, the lien for the penalties and interest were still valid, so the new owner could not obtain a refund of the amounts. Walker Country Place v. Central Appraisal Dist. of Taylor County, 867 S.W.2d 111 (Tex. App.-Eastland 1993, no writ).
Summary judgment should not have been granted to a taxpayer where there was an unresolved question of fact regarding how much the taxpayer owed the taxing unit under an earlier delinquent tax suit. Nueces County v. Com Four, 865 S.W.2d 538 (Tex. App.-Corpus Christi 1993, writ requested).
A water recreation district may not waive penalties and interest due on delinquent taxes because it does not have the specific authority to do so. Tex. Att'y Gen. LO-03-58 (1993).
Sec. 33.011. Waiver of Penalties and Interest.
(a) The governing body of a taxing unit:
(1) shall waive penalties and may provide for the waiver of interest on a delinquent tax if an act or omission of an officer, employee, or agent of the taxing unit or the appraisal district in which the taxing unit participates caused or resulted in the taxpayer's failure to pay the tax before delinquency and if the tax is paid not later than the 21st day after the date the taxpayer knows or should know of the delinquency; and
(2) may waive penalties and provide for the waiver of interest on a delinquent tax if the property for which the tax is owed is acquired by a religious organization that qualifies the property for exemption under Section 11.20 before the first anniversary of the date the religious organization acquires the property.
(b) If a tax bill is returned undelivered to the taxing unit by the United States Postal Service, the governing body of the taxing unit shall waive penalties and interest if:
(1) the taxing unit does not send another tax bill on the property in question at least 21 days before the delinquency date to the current mailing address furnished by the property owner and the property owner establishes that a current mailing address was furnished to the appraisal district by the property owner for the tax bill before September 1 of the year in which the tax is assessed; or
(2) the tax bill was returned because of an act or omission of an officer, employee, or agent of the taxing unit or the appraisal district in which the taxing unit participates and the taxing unit or appraisal district did not send another tax bill on the property in question at least 21 days before the delinquency date to the proper mailing address.
(c) For the purposes of this section, a property owner is considered to have furnished a current mailing address to the taxing unit or to the appraisal district if the current address is expressly communicated to the appraisal district in writing or if the appraisal district received a copy of a recorded instrument transferring ownership of real property and the current mailing address of the new owner is included in the instrument or in accompanying communications or letters of transmittal.
(d) A request for a waiver of penalties and interest under this section must be made before the 181st day after the delinquency date.
(e) Penalties and interest do not accrue during the period that a bill is not sent under Section 31.01(f).
(f) A property owner is not entitled to relief under Subsection (b) of this section if the property owner or the owner's agent furnished an incorrect mailing address to the appraisal district or the taxing unit or to an employee or agent of the district or unit.
(g) Taxes for which penalties and interest have been waived under Subsection (b) of this section must be paid within 21 days of the property owner having received a bill for those taxes at the current mailing address.
(h) The governing body of a taxing unit shall waive penalties and interest on a delinquent tax if:
(1) the tax is payable by electronic funds transfer under an agreement entered into under Section 31.06(a); and
(2) the taxpayer submits evidence sufficient to show that:
(A) the taxpayer attempted to pay the tax by electronic funds transfer in the proper manner before the delinquency date;
(B) the taxpayer's failure to pay the tax before the delinquency date was caused by an error in the transmission of the funds; and
(C) the tax was properly paid by electronic funds transfer or otherwise not later than the 21st day after the date the taxpayer knew or should have known of the delinquency.

Impositions made for delinquency for failure to pay taxes, whether these impositions are denominated "penalties," "interest," or "forfeitures," or whether prescribed without definition or name, are all in reality penalties imposed for delinquency that are not part of the tax proper and thus subject to legislative control and remittance. Jones v. Williams, 45 S.W.2d 130 (Tex. 1931).
Taxing units were required to provide evidence of mailing the five-year delinquent tax notice (now repealed) before the presumption of delivery to an individual taxpayer arises. Taxing units must also claim avoidance through waiver as an affirmative defense to a taxpayer's plea in intervention. By failing to do so, the issue was waived by the taxing units. Further, taxing units must raise a taxpayer's corporate capacity to sue defense by verified pleadings or waive the issue. WHM Properties, Inc. v. Dallas County, 119 S.W.3d 325 (Tex. App.-Waco, 2003, pet. filed). Sec. 33.011 is discretionary only; taxing units are not required to forgive penalties and interest. Amoroso v. Aldine Independent School District, 808 S.W.2d 118 (Tex. App.-Houston 1991).
Where school board refused to waive penalties and interest, taxpayer had no claim for refund under Sec. 31.01. Even if penalty and interest were illegally assessed, the voluntary payment rule barred right to refund. Sheldon v. Jasper Independent School District, 768 S.W.2d 884 (Tex. App.-Beaumont 1989).
The discretion for waiving penalty and interest on a delinquent tax rests with a taxing unit's governing body and not the court; and, for consideration of such waiver, the taxpayer must pay within 21 days of learning of the delinquency. Bryan Independent School District v. Lamountt, 726 S.W.2d 192 (Tex. App.-Houston 1987, no writ).
A county may not waive taxes, penalties, and interest on real property owned by an individual that houses a nonprofit organization. Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. JC-0134 (1999).
The central appraisal district acts as the agent of a taxing unit, and the unit's governing body may waive penalties and interest on a delinquent tax because of an error made by the central appraisal district. Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. JM-919 (1988).
Sec. 33.02. Installment Payment of Delinquent Taxes.
(a) The collector for a taxing unit that collects its own taxes may enter an agreement with a person delinquent in the payment of the tax for payment of the tax, penalties, and interest in installments. The agreement must be in writing and may not extend for a period of more than 36 months.
(b) Interest and a penalty accrue as provided by Subsections (a) and (c) of Section 33.01 on the unpaid balance during the period of the agreement.
(c) A property owner's execution of an installment agreement under this section is an irrevocable admission of liability for all taxes, penalties, and interest that are subject to the agreement.
(d) Property may not be seized and sold and a suit may not be filed to collect a delinquent tax subject to an installment agreement unless the property owner:
(1) fails to make a payment as required by the agreement;
(2) fails to pay other property taxes collected by the unit when due as required by the collector; or
(3) breaches any other condition of the agreement.
(e) Execution of an installment agreement tolls the limitation periods provided by Section 33.05 of this code for the period during which enforced collection is barred by Subsection (d) of this section.

Delinquent tax receipt information, see Rule Sec. 9.1001.
A contract for installment payment of delinquent taxes, penalties and interest by a county commissioner is not subject to Local Government Code Section 81.002, and the county commissioner has not violated the written oath that he or she will not be interested in a contract with or claim against the county. The county commissioner - as a taxpayer - has entered into the contract for installment payment of delinquent taxes, exercising a payment option available to other delinquent taxpayers. The terms of the agreement are established by statute and not by negotiations between the tax collector and taxpayer. Tex. Att'y Gen. LO-96-135 (1996).
A delinquent tax penalty adopted by a taxing unit under Sec. 33.07 does not apply to delinquent taxes subject to installment agreements entered into under Sec. 33.02 before July 1 of the year the taxes became delinquent. Since the purpose of Sec. 33.02 is to allow a taxpayer formally to agree to pay delinquent taxes and avoid the imposition of further penalties or a collection suit, the taxpayer would have little incentive to enter into an installment agreement if penalties continued to accrue or suit could be filed against him or her. Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. DM-235 (1993).
Sec. 33.03. Delinquent Tax Roll.
Each year the collector for each taxing unit shall prepare a current and a cumulative delinquent tax roll for the unit.

The county assessor-collector is not entitled to retain fees in either a public or private capacity for work performed in aiding the attorney hired by the county to collect delinquent taxes. Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. JM-264 (1984).
Sec. 33.04. Notice of Delinquency.
At least once each year the collector for a taxing unit shall deliver a notice of delinquency to each person whose name appears on the current delinquent tax roll. However, the notice need not be delivered if:
(1) a bill for the tax was not mailed under Section 31.01(f); or
(2) the collector does not know and by exercising reasonable diligence cannot determine the delinquent taxpayer's name and address.

Amendments by HB 490, 77th Tex. Leg., effective September 1, 2001, do not apply to taxes subject to a delinquent tax suit pending before this effective date. They apply to all other taxes that became delinquent before the effective date of this Act or that become delinquent on or after that date. Penalties and interest on a delinquent tax are not canceled under Section 33.04, Tax Code, for failure to deliver any notice under that section as it existed immediately before this effective date. A delinquent tax that is the subject of a collection suit filed before this effective date is governed by Section 33.04, Tax Code, as that section existed immediately before this effective date, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
Taxing units were required to provide evidence of mailing the five-year delinquent tax notice (now repealed) before the presumption of delivery to an individual taxpayer arises. Taxing units must also claim avoidance through waiver as an affirmative defense to a taxpayer's plea in intervention. By failing to do so, the issue was waived by the taxing units. Further, taxing units must raise a taxpayer's corporate capacity to sue defense by verified pleadings or waive the issue. WHM Properties, Inc. v. Dallas County, 119 S.W.3d 325 (Tex. App.-Waco, 2003, pet. filed).
A taxpayer who owes property taxes that are delinquent more than five years but who has not received proper notice is not responsible to pay any penalty and interest. The taxpayer has until the first day of the first month that begins at least 21 days after the tax collector delivers proper notice. Any accrued penalty and interest between the time the tax became delinquent and the first day of the first month that begins at least 21 days after proper notice delivery is canceled. Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. JC-328 (2001).
Sec. 33.05. Limitation on Collection of Taxes.
(a) Personal property may not be seized and a suit may not be filed:
(1) to collect a tax on personal property that has been delinquent more than four years; or
(2) to collect a tax on real property that has been delinquent more than 20 years.
(b) A tax delinquent for more than the limitation period prescribed by this section and any penalty and interest on the tax is presumed paid unless a suit to collect the tax is pending.
(c) If there is no pending litigation concerning the delinquent tax at the time of the cancellation and removal, the collector for a taxing unit shall cancel and remove from the delinquent tax roll:
(1) a tax on real property that has been delinquent for more than 20 years;
(2) a tax on personal property that has been delinquent for more than 10 years; and
(3) a tax on real property that has been delinquent for more than 10 years if the property has been owned for at least the preceding eight years by a home-rule municipality in a county with a population of more than 3.3 million.
Amended by 1991 Tex. Laws, p. 2893, ch. 836, Sec. 5.4; amended by 1997 Tex. Laws, p. 132, ch. 63, Sec. 1; amended by 2001 Tex. Laws, p. 1188, ch. 669, Sec. 119.

Personal property defined, see Sec. 1.04(4).
Real property defined, see Sec. 1.04(2).
Installment payment of delinquent taxes, see Sec. 33.02.
Limitation statute does not release or extinguish the debt, but merely affects the remedy when its enforcement is sought. Sam Bassett Lumber Co. v. City of Houston, 198 S.W.2d 879 (Tex. 1947).
Because the tax liens properly attached to the properties at issue during the period of time when the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation held only a lien interest, the owner of the properties through a foreclosure sale was responsible for paying taxes upon its foreclosure and also responsible for paying penalties the lien secured to the extent that the proceeds from the foreclosure were greater than the amount of the tax liens. Tax Code Section 33.05 did not bar collecting the 1991 and 1992 taxes. PNL Asset Management Company v. Kerrville Independent School District, 37 S.W.3d 80 (Tex. App. - San Antonio [4th Dist.] 2000, pet. denied).
A court's dismissal of property tax collection suits for want of prosecution did not prevent taxing units from refiling them, subject to the 20-year statute of limitations period. City of Houston v. Robinson, 837 S.W.2d 262 (Tex. App.-Houston [1st Dist.] 1992, no writ).
This section bars a taxing unit from filing suit to recover taxes more than four years delinquent. Flowers v. Lavaca County, 766 S.W.2d 825 (Tex. App.-Corpus Christi 1989, writ denied).
Statute of limitations provided by this section is an affirmative defense. Taxpayer may not use it as the basis for a cause of action. Salvaggio v. Houston ISD, 752 S.W.2d 189 (Tex. App.-Houston 1988, writ denied).
Mineral production equipment must be appraised separately from the mineral leasehold interest. Land, improvements to land, and interests in land must be appraised separately, even though they are all included within the code's definition of "real property." The appraisals may be in one taxpayer account, but the account must reflect separate appraisals for each property. No authority supports a view that mineral production equipment to be indispensable to the production of oil and gas on the leasehold estate, and therefore taxable as an improvement, fixture, or appurtenance to the realty. Three factors determine whether a property is affixed as an improvement and considered real property: (1) the intention of the person making the annexation (the preeminent factor), (2) the mode and sufficiency of the annexation to the real estate, and (3) the adoption of the property to the real estate's uses or purposes. Determining if mineral production equipment is real or personal property for tax collection purposes must be made on a case-by-case basis. Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. DM-438 (1997).
Only a court may enforce statutes of limitation as the collector has no authority to forgive or forego the collection of taxes lawfully assessed. Op. Tex. Att'y Gen. No. WW-107 (1957).
