[2013] [2012] [2011] [2010] [2009] [2008] [2007] [2006] [2005] [2004] [2003] [2002] [2001] [2000] [1999 and older] [index]
Felton Road Bannockburn Pinot Noir 2013 (sc) Ruby marone with a sweet perfume of rosehips and cherries with nuances of smoky bacon. A sultry savoury wine, rather seductive from the outset, with spiced cherries, caramelised oak, hints of anise-like spices and a sweet earthy depth. Persistent and flavoursome on the lingering finish but quite primary at the moment, leaving behind a dry, slightly puckery mouthfeel. An age-worthy wine that needs more time and will definitely reward with cellaring. This label is superb with a little age. 13.5% alc. $51.99. 16Jul2014.
Sileni Cellar Selection Pinot Noir 2013 (sc) Clear ruby with cerise tints. Very fragrant with violet candies and cherryish - quite a sweet perfume. The violets come through in the smooth succulent juicy red fruit palate with lovely savoury notes in behind, hints of cinnamon, fruit cake spices and it finishes dry. Nice expression on the finish for such an early release. Seems very quaffable but would go well with mushrooms, bacon etc. 12.5% alc. $17.95. 12Nov2013.
Wooing Tree Beetlejuice Central Otago Pinot Noir 2013 (sc) This youthful fruity number is shiny, crimson-tinged dark ruby with smoky cake spice notes on the nose and cinnamon-like nuances most dominant in the palate with juicy black cherries and a beguiling smoky savoury note in behind. Acidity is fresh and the tannins still a little firm - they will integrate nicely with a little more time. 13.5% alc. $24.99. 30Apr2014.2012 Vintage [top] [index]
Akarua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) This has a more translucent ruby hue and the more primary black cherry fruit shines through both on the nose and in the spicy, savoury palate that has an earthy, savoury undercurrent with a bit of a woody edge. Tannins are fine but still firm and the wine is structured, concentrated and complex with excellent potential to age. 14% alc. $37.99. 5Mar2014.
Akarua Rua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Magenta rimmed purple red. Earthy nuances to the (anise-infused) spicy oak scent, firm and just a little grippy in the palate, with a spicy, almost peppery flourish. Lovely fruit balance – spiced cherries, plums and even a suggestion of chocolate on the succulent, lip smacking finish. From Bannockburn, this is very tasty and one of the better Pinots tasted from 2012 so far. 14% alc. $21.99. 10Jul2013.
Chard Farm Finla Mor Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) This is a much fuller style of Pinot with a ruby colour, savoury aromas, velvety tannins, spicy oak and generous plum and black cherry fruit. Dry, spicy, earthy and a little gamey on the finish, you could call this a 'funky' style. 13.5% alc. $42.99. 8Jan2014.
Clos Henri Petit Clos Marlborough Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) The nose of this medium-weight garnet red coloured wine is shy but reveals hints of cherries. It's very dry and has quite firm tannins in the palate, which is unusual for NZ pinot but probably a result of French winemaking influence. A lovely savoury beetrooty Pinot, which expands beautifully in the palate and leaves a lingering taste of cranberries and cherries. 13.5% alc. $23.99. 8Jan2014.
Felton Road Bannockburn Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Bright pinky red. Smoky and savoury on the nose with a subtle fragrance of Central Otago's wild thyme. Juicy and savoury with underlying acidity providing brightness and zing. Lovely tannin structure, it has some grip but that is part of this wine's charm. Full-bodied, sensual and savoury with spiced cherries on the long succulent finish. This and the Akarua tasted alongside it show great promise for Central Otago 2012. 14% alc. $51.99. 10Jul2013.
Gibbston Valley Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Vibrant deep ruby black hue. Very generous on the inviting nose with nuances of chocolate and cherries. Full bodied and juicy to the taste with creamy oak, opulent black cherry and plum fruit and a smooth harmonious flow with a spicy flourish to the finish and some lovely savoury notes as the wine lingers. Perhaps a little bit of grip too. Like the potential here for aging. 13.5% alc. $43.99. 27Nov2013.
Greystone Waipara Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Deep ruby red with an almost black core. Wonderfully attractive aromatics - fruity yet funky in an exciting and evocative way. Full bodied and creamy with black cherries and rose petals underpinned by a deep earthy savouriness and tannins that are remarkably silky and fine. Such a gorgeous texture to this wine. 13.5% alc. $27.99. 4Dec2013.
Gunn Estate Reserve Marlborough Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Quite ruby in colour, this is immediately generous, fruity and mouthfilling with sweet, ripe fruit that's heading towards jammy. I taste plums and prunes and then ribena. A smooth, soft style of pinot with cigar box-like oak, a touch of leather and a hint of mushroom. Pinot for Merlot drinkers because it really doesn't taste like Pinot Noir at all. Far too jammy and sweet for me. 13.5% alc. $19.99. 26Apr2013.
Julicher 99 Rows Martinborough Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) This has a vibrant ruby violet hue with an inviting sweet smoky scent encompassing aromas of bottled red cherries. Vibrantly fruity in the palate – again bottled red cherries come to mind – with a hint of vanilla, a lovely savoury inflection, a touch of salami and mushrooms braised in fragrant spices and thyme. The fruit is plump and juicy, almost luscious, but there is well balanced acidity while the tannins are silky with a firm edge and the wine finishes dry. 12.5% alc. $24.99. 11Jun2014.
Martinborough Vineyards Te Tera Martinborough Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Translucent purple red with a very inviting bouquet that's delicately spicy and floral with sensual gamey notes coming through. It has a gorgeous fine silky texture with flavours reminiscent of violets and juicy sun-ripened red and purple berries, and the finish is savoury and long. Very stylish and great buying at the price. 13.5% alc. $25.99. 6Nov2013.
Mt Difficulty Roaring Meg Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Moderate weight purple ruby hue. Hints of macerated strawberry and cherry on the slightly restrained scent, then dry and savoury in the medium weight palate. Undeniably Pinot Noir with its soft smooth tannins, bittersweet red fruits and subtle herb notes, it's ready to enjoy now. 14% alc. $25.99. 12Feb2014.Ruby garnet in hue with a candied cherry aroma that has a savoury aura and an enticing anise-like spiciness wafting through. Quite dry in the palate, it has sautéed mushroom and bacon notes and distinctive woody herb savouriness with bittersweet cherry fruit, rosehips and aromatic spices. There is just a touch of grip to the fine textured tannins and an underlying brightness that carries the finish but it is to be noted it needs a bit of cuddly warmth before serving at this time of year (i.e. winter in NZ). Gold Medal Decanter 2014. 14% alc. $25.99. 23Jul2014.
Mud House Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Ruby maroon in hue with a lovely smoky savoury cherry bouquet, it's spicy and a little gamey in the medium to full-bodied palate with hints of rosemary and musky rose petal characters, juicy berry fruit, a dry savoury backbone, velvet-edged silky tannins and a long bright finish. 13.5% alc. $19.99. 18Sep2013.

Soft, rounded and velvety all the way through, it's an irresistible style of Pinot. 14.5% alc. $24.99. 25Jun2014.
Nanny Goat 'Super Nanny' Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Exciting woodsmoke on the nose, then in the palate it is lifted and spicy with beautifully balanced oak in the background together with hints of thyme, Xmas cake spices, plums and cherries and appealing smoky savoury flavours lingering. It seems soft, sensual and velvety but the firm, assertive finish shows its youth. 14.2% alc. $45.99. 6Aug2014.
Saint Clair Block 14 Doctors Creek Marlborough Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Dark cherry red with sweet berry fruit on the nose and a rich, powerful presence in the palate. It's juicy, almost luscious, with gentle tannins, a spicy flourish and those almost funky, hard to describe bittersweet red fruits on the lingering finish. A show of hands proved this wine was very popular on the night. 13.5% alc. $30.99. 6Nov2013.
Sileni The Plateau Hawkes Bay Pinot Noir 2012(sc) Dark ruby with dark cherry hints. The bouquet is floral with juicy cherry notes and a touch of spice. Ah, this is so much more complex (than the early release 2013) in flavour profile and bodyweight. A touch of spice, more citrussy, sumac-like spices. Dry and concentrated, lovely array of juicy red/black cherry. Some interesting stalky notes coming through on the finish keeps the sweet fruit in check. Lovely mouthcoating textural complexity and very desirable hints of anise. 13% alc. $34.95. 12Nov2013.

Thistle Ridge Waipara Valley Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Medium weight ruby hue. Quite plummy on the nose with a smoky, savoury infusion.

Thornbury Central Otago Pinot Noir 2012 (sc) Intense deep purple red with an inky depth, there's woodsmoke on the nose and it's quite dry to the taste yet has a very appealing smooth rounded texture.

Firm tannins too. 14% alc. $34.99. 15May2013.

Craggy Range Hawkes Bay Te Muna Aroha Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Dark cherry red colour. There's a slight edgy sense to the scent of red fruits, savoury oak, spice and game. Succulent and creamy in the palate, the edginess makes an appearance too. Spicy, savoury, intensely gamey with bittersweet fruit, finishing dry but there is a lingering creaminess too.

Fairmont Wairarapa Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) A lighter Burgundy red colour with beguiling floral nuances to the savoury bouquet, it's fresh with a lovely savouriness to make it exciting without overpowering.

Pencarrow Martinborough Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Dark ruby garnet – quite intense. Strong smoky, savoury bouquet with a hint of a confectionary note and herbs.

Te Mania Nelson Reserve Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Medium pinky red to the colour and bright red fruit scent with a smoky vanillin infusion. It seems quite sweet on first tasting – a little confectionary – all fruit without the requisite savouriness and a touch of chocolate to the finish.

Terra Sancta Central Otago Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Dark ruby / black cherry coloured with complex aromas that are subtle and sensual and a vibrant, spicy veneer to the flavours. A mouthfilling wine that's intrinsically savoury with classic wild thyme, roasted mushroom, fruits of the forest, black cherries, a touch of chocolate, a little tug to the tannins and that sought after brightness to the finish. New label from the new owners of the former Olssens vineyard - same vines, same winemaker - there is a track record and this could one of the vintage's stars. 14.2% alc. $33.99. 22Aug2012.
The Miner's Daughter Reserve North Canterbury Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) While light in colour, it smells spicy and savoury with smoky oak, woody herbs, red cherry and strawberry, and tastes soft and spicy with juicy red plums, red cherry, a touch of earth and game and a citrussy tang to the finish. A medium bodied style with the pinot characters you expect, but at the price point you don't. 14% alc. $16.99. 13Feb2013.
Tohu Marlborough Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Evocatively scented, sweet-fruited yet savoury with the savoury theme continuing through to the palate which is fresh, gamey and dry. Smoky oak mingles with iron-rich minerals, violets and cherry jam while the texture feels like brushed velvet with a mouth coating finish that is expansive and persistent. A very good match to lamb. 14% alc. $27.95. 17Jan2013.
Urlar Gladstone Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Pale coloured with tints of violet, the lighter colour perhaps indicative of the 2011 vintage. Cherries on the nose with a savoury gamey nuance – quintessentially pinot. The taste is sweet and savoury with upfront bittersweet cherries quickly tamed by the sensual savouriness, earthy funkiness, a deep smoky spiciness – Moroccan spices - yet still a touch of underlying freshness. Medium bodied and mouth filling with a lovely silky texture, long finish. Nicely resolved and drinking very well. 14% alc. $38. 23Dec2012.
Waimea Nelson Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Deep purple ruby. The cherry-like aroma seems simple and a little sweet and jammy at first but becomes quite concentrated over the course of the tasting. Bright and spicy, rich and savoury with pepper and cake spice, red and black fruit, a beefy undercurrent and firm leathery tannins that seem more velvet on the finish. 13.5% alc. $25.00. 9Aug2012.
West Brook Waimauku Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Like cherry juice in appearance, it's softly aromatic with hints of strawberry jam. Slightly salty, savoury and earthy to the taste with delicate raspberry and strawberry fruit and a vanillin edge to the rounded finish where pinot noir purity comes through.

Woollaston 'Mahana' Nelson Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Dark garnet red. Quite smoky and deep on the bouquet with concentrated vinosity and a lilac-like floral edge – an alluring evocative scent. Concentrated, spicy and savoury to the taste with firm but sensual tannins, attractive red and black fruit, a touch of Black Forest chocolate and a lovely long rich finish – it has all the elements and drinks very well. I thought it quite outstanding.14% alc. $52. 9Jun2013.
Woollaston Nelson Pinot Noir 2011 (sc) Dark ruby garnet with ruby flashes. The bouquet is smoky, savoury and just a little stalky but in the mouth it savoury and fleshy with fruit evolving nicely. The dark fruit has well balanced sweetness and firm velvet-edged tannins and an attractive lift to the finish with violets and anise-like spices coming though. Coal smoke too. Very firm and dry with an edgy bite and lingering berry sweetness. 14% alc. $35. 9Jun2013.

Microsoft Makes Its Move
Jobs Action
"If there's one guy who is going to try to put everything together ... Steve and his team have one of the unique opportunities," Tim Bajarin, president of tech consultancy Creative Strategies, said of Apple CEO Steve Jobs at a recent digital living room conference.
"Look at the Front Row interface they created -- you can see digital living room written all over it," he added, referring to Apple's interface for viewing digital media.
And then, of course, there's Apple's huge success with music and recent deals to sell video content from NBC Universal at its iTunes music store.Similarly, Sony is in a unique position to take over the digital living room, given its position in the consumer-electronics space, the success of its PlayStation video-game console and its music and movie businesses. And finally there's Internet search leader Google, which announced also at CES that it will begin allowing consumers to buy videos from major content partners through its Web site. Before IPTV, Microsoft's rolled out the Media Center version of its Windows OS to connect TV and PCs. But Media Center PCs have gotten off to a slow start in part because they were bundled with a preinstalled TV tuner, which increased their cost, Scherf says. Microsoft recently announced that 6.5 million Media Center PCs have shipped in three years, with 5.5 million of those shipping in just the past year. "The important thing to understand about that is that the majority of those units are not going into the living room," adds Gartner media analyst Van Baker. He estimates that fewer than 10% of Media Center PCs are connected to a TV set. And adds that they're still a "pretty tiny" portion of overall PC sales. The problem: PCs simply aren't stable enough to take over the role of the beloved TV. "If you're in the middle of your favorite TV show and you get the blue screen of death, you're going to go crazy," Baker says. Despite that, Microsoft is still aiming to bring television to the PC, with announcements last week about connecting DirecTV (DTV) video onto Windows Media Center PCs.

Discover Chocolate and Live La Vida Cocoa!
Our kitchen sink has started backing up on a regular basis. I try to get as much chocolate as possible into the trash so it doesn't wash down the drain, but inevitably some gets in there and builds up. We have no garbage disposal.
Boiling water, enzymes, baking soda, etc. did nothing. Sulfuric acid and a snake finally did the trick, but even the acid doesn't seem to do much to chocolate.

Well, the third Zumba lesson was also a joy although the saying, 'Pride comes before a fall' seems to be accurate. There I was, enjoying myself, unfortunately close to the front, when I slipped and landed on my side.
I did the standard thing: took a second to process why the world was sideways, another to right myself, one more to check nothing was broken and then a few more to style it out. I'm pretty sure I pulled it off with aplomb.
My elbow and hip will probably have fair old bruises on them but obviously the main dent has been to my pride. Still, the worst (well, almost the worst, the worst would be falling over, taking someone with me and breaking a bone in their body or... well I could run doomsday scenarios all night...) that could have happened to me has happened. I fell over in class and will now forever be known as 'That Girl That Fell Over'. Ah well. It had to happen to someone.
My first Zumba class was over 2 weeks ago now. I'll be heading off to my third class tomorrow and I cannot wait!
The first lesson was great fun although I had to walk past a load of women playing netball outside which reminded me so strongly of miserable PE lessons, netball skirts and gym shorts that I almost turned around on the spot and headed home.
Fortunately, I put my head down and ignored the gaggle of women sitting around the bench (just like school!) and headed into the PE hall for the lesson instead. Our instructor is a lovely Portuguese woman who is not too shouty and has a wonderful habit (at least for people like me who occasionally have to stop and think about which is their left and which is their right) of signalling right and left with hand movements.
As for the class itself, I was concerned that I wouldn't last but actually by the time the instructor said, 'Last 2 songs and then the cool-down' I found myself feeling disappointed and thinking that the time had flown by! I don't think I've ever enjoyed exercise so much in my life!
The second week I was able to push a little bit harder and consequently 'felt' it a bit the next few days but it was still unbelievably good fun. I love the moves and learning the routines. I used to borrow my Mum's Rosemary Conley videos when I was younger (child of the 80s!) and I love the way zumba combines aerobics with dance but without ever getting too formal.
Anyway, I am very much looking forward to my third week tomorrow and having renewed my exercise efforts I am turning to the healthy eating area in order to try and get below 180lbs before the end of the month. Various things have crept up on me over the past few months and have derailed me somewhat. Having now got back down to my lowest weight (181.5lbs) I am determined to see the back of the 180s before the end of the month. I know it's doable because it's not actually magic, it's a relatively simple formula to follow. (This reminds me of a saying I hear a lot in another context - it's a simple programme for complicated people. How right they are.)
I have the added incentive of starting to feel my trousers loosening again. Not quite enough to move down a size, but definitely heading that way again which would make me a UK size 16. I haven't been a size 16 in almost a decade! Allegedly Summer is around the corner although it doesn't much look like it today but I have had to start buying some new clothes as the ones from last year are too loose and baggy. Hurrah! Even if my bank balance my disagree with me on that one.
Still, onwards and downwards!
One of the things I promised myself at the start of the year was that I'd take a proper fitness class this year. Well a few weeks ago a deal popped up on a voucher site for zumba classes in my area. I'm not studying at the moment so it seemed like the perfect time.
Tonight will be my first class. I am so nervous. I realised today that I haven't done any sort of organised sort or exercise class since school which was a good 10 years ago now! I am sure it will be fine, possibly I will even have Fun and a Good Time.
But for the moment, yes, slightly nervous and hoping I can remember my left from my right!
So the first challenge for Springing into Action is to write a little something in your blog which is perfect because I�d just been thinking how much I enjoy reading other people�s blogs and how mine has been left languishing since last year.
I�m 28, live in South London and have a job that I hate. I�m also a part-time student with the Open University which is a distance learning programme that means you need to be fairly disciplined about study. I�m currently ploughing my way through Introduction to Bookkeeping and Accounting because I thought it would be useful for work when I signed up but then the work situation changed and it is now not massively useful and I�m finding it ridiculously hard which is slightly annoying.
At the moment I work out by using DVDs or workouts on Sparkpeople or youtube. There�s a surprisingly good selection on youtube! I really like kickboxing workouts and although I found Chalene Johnson annoying at the start I�ve really warmed to her. I cringed at first when she�d say �This is going to be the highlight of your day� but now I find it often is!
I really want to lose the weight before I turn 30 next year. It�s taken me a really long time to feel like I�m getting where I want to be in my life (long story shortened, left Uni at 19 drifted in and out of various unfulfilling jobs thereafter, had issues with depression and alcohol but have been in the same job for almost 4 years and am over 2.5 years sober now) and since starting with Sparkpeople it actually feels like an overlooked piece of the puzzle has fallen into place. I�ve finally started to realise that I am a whole person and that means I have to look after my physical self and health as well as my mental and spiritual sides.
I have next week off so I�m looking forward to catching up with a few friends, getting at least another chapter of my Bookkeeping course out of the way, getting back into my meditation routine and picking up 30 Day Shred. Oh and getting my haircut- you have to treat yourself every now and then!
Oh and finally for the bonus challenge:
Body fat: 46.29%
Lbs/Kgs of Body Fat: 85.64
Lean Body Weight: 99.36
Yesterday was a very stressful day. My colleague and I actually ended up walking out of the office for a couple of hours after our boss spoke to us yet again, in a completely unacceptable manner. I'm not proud of my actions exactly but she has been treating me like a doormat for years and it actually felt like a very positive thing for my self-esteem to say, 'No this is not an acceptable way for you to talk to me' and then follow through by removing myself from the situation.
She didn't apologise but did hand us our bonuses in the afternoon which is the closest we'll get to an admission on her part that she was in the wrong. Plus the bonus was good enough that I can save a bit and spend a bit. I'll definitely not be able to use money as an excuse for not signing up to an exercise class next year now!
However, the best bit of all, I didn't binge. I had one quarter of a small cookie which actually tasted pretty delicious and I didn't mind that I only really ate one mouthful. Otherwise, no tub of Haagen Dazs pralines and cream to cheer myself up, no family size bag of Malteasers, no popcorn, nothing. Pretty flippin' close to miraculous for me!
Now I just need to make it through the Christmas lunch tomorrow... Oh joy. Definitely doing a stress-busting kickboxing video tonight!

Book Description HTML | Report this book
This novel is the fourth and final chapter to The Time Walker Series. It illustrates the overwhelming difficulties faced by a family of immortals. How they continue living without updating birth certificates, IDs and driver's licenses to live the American dream. Even after 100 years, they still appear to be in their mid twenties! After many years, they still failed to find ways to update their identification to live off the riches they've acquired over the years through a secret and the lucrative family goldmine. Until they were able to find a feasible way to produce up to date forms of identification, they couldn't hope to live normal lives of comfort and wealth. The life that they all deserved...

Good printer, but makes more noise than expected. This is the third one that I have gotten. First one was replaced under warranty, could not clear the jets to print. The second one had the same problem but was just out of warranty. The only reason I got another Workforce 30 was that I had 10 new ink cartridges. Don't know if I will get a 4th even if I have an abundance of ink cartridges.

Great, easy set-up. You can get printing in moments after getting it home. It does a great job printing with the first set of ink cartridges... In the long-term, it's very disappointing. The ink cartridges can only be proprietor-brand -- or else you face the challenge of trying to get it to work with other-name-brand cartridges, not an easy task... The first set of cartridges make great print-outs! After you reload ink - proprietor-brand or competitor - it just never works the same again. Horrid printouts, loads of trouble-shooting, to no avail. For an added bonus, when it's time to replace the ink, it costs just about as much to buy a whole new printer as it does to replace the cartridges! What is the proprietor trying to tell us?... "Waste aplenty!" Thumbs down for this printer. Thumbs down for the cartridges. Powers that be, I beg you! Please let this poor elementary school teacher find an economical printer that can last throughout my years -- at least a couple of them -- in the classroom!

Great Little Printer

from Goodyear, AZ, USA
I have bought Epson printers the last 10 years and have yet to run into a problem. For the money they can't be beat. They are easy to use with great print quality when using for documents or photos
Epson workforce 30
By Charlie
from Grand Rapids, Michigan
If you follow the instructions there is no problem hooking up and setting up this printer. So far it has done a great job for me. I haven't printed any photos yet but from the job it has done on text and pictures, the photos will be great too. Thanks Charlie Foley
Early review
By Sugarbush
from Fond du Lac, WI
I just finished an easy installation. I printed three documents with ease as well. Yes, the printer is noisy, but I can tolerate that as long as it performs as well as it just did. We will see how long the inks last. Colors are crisp and clear. Very little lag between initiating "print" and actually starting to print. I would purchase it again. Plus good delivery time.
EPSON WORKFORCE can have issues.
By Zephyr
from California
Although the printer hasn't failed me yet, if left alone for the weekend it prints funny. The lines are off, and some areas just don't print, until you clean the heads. It's also noisy. When printing, it lets you know it's definitely printing. The print may only need black, but if the other colors are empty, it won't print. All and all a cheap printer, but has a few faults. Not all around friendly.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend
This is the easiest ...
By Grasshopper
from Meshoppen PA
This is the easiest setup. The print quality for basic data printing is excellent. The quality for photo's just falls short of perfect. I do recommend this printer for everyday use. I would not recommend this printer for anyone who wants high quality or professional level photos.

What good is a printer that doesn't feed properly half the time? Even standard 8 1/2 X 11 paper or worse yet is a little heavier certificate type stock that doesn't feed at all. Going back to my good old reliable C88+. May be a bit slower but gets the job done.
Basic _is_ Good! :-)

I received this printer months ago and was delighted to find that it was a snap to set-up and operate. I wish I set it up when I first received it because I was paying copy places for print-outs. What a waste of time and money Love this printer!!!
Excellent Printer!

Josh is an adorable, energetic 4 year old boy living with autism. He loves to play with bubbles, jump and play chase with his sister, Hayden. Josh attends preschool in an autism support classroom. He also receives Occupational therapy, Speech therapy and in-home behavior services.
Josh struggles to communicate his wants and needs and does not respond consistently to commands. Not being able to communicate leads Josh to become frustrated, which he shows by acting out aggressively including hitting, kicking and throwing tantrums. In addition, he lacks safety awareness which makes it very difficult to go on outings as a family. Even a trip to the store is close to impossible or has to be done very quickly before Josh has a meltdown. Due to Josh's communication and behavior challenges, we are currently working with 4 Paws for Ability in Xenia, OH to train a service dog to meet Josh's needs.
The service dog will be trained to calm Josh when he demonstrates aggressive behaviors. Josh will also be tethered to the service dog during family outings and when Josh begins to wander or be unsafe the dog will be trained to stay and keep Josh in place. Finally, there have been many examples of service dogs helping children with autism to communicate and form close bonds.

U.S. Government Ceding Control of Key Internet Body
By Michael Liedtke
SAN FRANCISCO -- The U.S. government is relinquishing its control of the Internet's address system in a shift that may raise questions about the future direction of online innovation and communications.
The decision announced Friday begins a long-planned transition affecting the stewardship of the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, or ICANN. That's a not-for-profit agency launched in 1998 by the Commerce Department to govern the system that assigns website addresses and directs Internet traffic.
The department's National Telecommunications and Information Administration, or NTIA, hopes to end its oversight of ICANN's Internet Assigned Numbers Authority by the time its contract expires in September 2015. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority administers the technology that keeps computers connected to the Web and steers Internet traffic.Proposals for a new ICANN stewardship will be accepted beginning next week at a conference in Singapore. Although it's too early to tell how future oversight will be handled, the U.S. government appears determined to hand over the reins to an entity without political entanglements. "We will not accept a proposal that replaces the NTAI's role with a government-led or intergovernmental solution," Lawrence Strickling, assistant secretary at the Commerce Department, told reporters. That statement may ease concerns that oversight of ICANN will be turned over to International Telecommunications Union, which is part of the United Nations. Although other countries have had a say in how the Internet works, the U.S. government retained veto power over ICANN. That role has fueled recurring debates about whether the U.S. government exerts too much influence over technology that plays such a pivotal role in society and the economy. The concerns about the United States' role in ICANN have intensified during the past nine months amid a series of media leaks from former NSA contractor Edward Snowden. The disclosures have revealed that government spy programs have been vacuuming up emails and other personal data off of Internet services for at least the past six years as part of the country's anti-terrorism efforts.

It took six months longer than expected, but Douglas Lima is again a Bellator MMA tournament champion.
All 24 fighters competing at tonight's Bellator 100 event successfully made weight for the milestone show.
With injuries forcing Matt Riddle and Mark Scanlon out of Bellator MMA's Season 9 welterweight tournament, Rick Hawn and Ron Keslar have stepped in to the bracket's eight-man field.
The fight card is set for next month's Bellator 100 event, and a host of notables are now part of the night's preliminary card.

All quotes tagged Actor
(1135 quotes found)
"Acting is half shame, half glory. Shame at exhibiting yourself, glory when you can forget yourself."
"As a born actress, she instinctively understands that the world is more than a stage-it is an audience."
"If I wasn't an actor, I think I'd have gone mad. You have to have extra voltage, some extra temperament to reach certain heights. Art is a little bit larger than life- it's an exhalation of life and I think I you probably need a little touch of madness."
"It is so much more difficult to live with one's body than with one's soul. One's body is so much more exacting: what it won't have it won't have, and nothing can make bitter into sweet."
"Actors speak of things imaginary as if they were real, while your preachers too often speak of things real as if they were imaginary"
"Acting is not very hard. The most important things are to be able to laugh and cry. If I have to cry, I think of my sex life. And if I have to laugh,well, I think of my sex life."

If you want to get a sense of how college students approach sex, the play Speak About It is a pretty good place to start. It's a series of skits written by students at Bowdoin, a small liberal arts college in Maine. The skits show students in a variety of sexual encounters, based on real experiences. Bowdoin students must watch the play during freshman orientation. It's meant to foster "healthy relationships" on campus by addressing the issue of consent and sexual assault. Speak About It has also been staged at colleges and universities nationwide, including Harvard, Brown, Williams, and Bates.
Related Story
Think of the play as a half-baked mashup of The Vagina Monologues and Girls: blunt, confessional, lacking in delicacy. In one skit, a bisexual woman reveals intimate details of her sex life. She lets the audience know that she has "kissed big lips, skinny lips, vagina lips, and penis tips." In another, a male student confides, "Having sex with somebody you don't love just isn't worth it. That's why they invented whacking off."
In yet another scene from the play, we see two co-eds hooking up:
Female: We've been making out for a while now. I wish he would just ask me to take off my shirt.
Male: Really? That won't kill the mood?
Female: What mood? We're in a twin extra long bunk bed. You should just ask.
Male: So you think that...
Female: Just ask...
Male: Will you take your shirt off please?
Female: Sure if you take yours off!
The scene represents a normal sexual encounter between two students. There's moaning. There's orgasming. And yet, it falls flat. While the play wants to promote the idea that this kind of sex is hot and fun, in this scene, it is boring and banal. Erotic sex ideally involves mystery and an electric connection—longing—between two people. But the exhibitionism of Speak About It kills this mystery and longing—it leaves little to the imagination. As the writer and critic Cristina Nehring, author of A Vindication of Love, tells me in an interview, "Where there is no distance and no sense of transgression at all, where anything goes and everything shows, there is no erotic chemistry.
Speak About It is not the only sign that young people have a limited understanding of the erotic potential of sex. HBO's Girls, created by and starring Lena Dunham, and very popular among twentysomethings, is essentially one unerotic sex scene after another. When the second episode of season one opens, for instance, Hannah (Dunham) passively lies on a bed as her hookup buddy, Adam, has sex with her. His muscles convulse. He pants. He has a thin layer of sweat covering his body. He even talks dirty: "I knew when I found you, you wanted it this way...you were a junkie and you were only 11." Then, after he climaxes, he asks Hannah if she wants a Gatorade, putting an end to perhaps the most unerotic sex scene ever written for the screen.
Of course, this problem isn't exactly new. Twenty-five years ago the late educator Allan Bloom wrote in his bestselling book, The Closing of the American Mind: "The eroticism of our students is lame." Bloom was no conservative prude. He was an atheist who, rumor has it, had student lovers. He wrote extensively about eros, the Greek word for passionate, sexual love. But, reflecting on the vast majority of the young people who came through his lecture hall at the University of Chicago following the Sexual Revolution, he wrote:
Young people, and only young people, have studied and practiced a crippled eros that can no longer take wing, and does not contain within it the longing for eternity and the divination of one's relatedness to being... Young men and women distrust eroticism too much to think it a sufficient pointer toward a way of life... Their lack of passion of hope, of despair, of a sense of the twinship of love and death is incomprehensible to me.
Eros is, in other words, the beating heart of life. Without eroticism, not only does sex lose its depth and meaning, but life itself does. In an essay from 2000 called "All Sex, All the Time," the British psychiatrist and writer Theodore Dalrymple captures this point:
In my hospital, for example, adolescent and young adult visitors to their hospitalized boyfriends or girlfriends not infrequently climb into bed and indulge in sexual foreplay with them, in full view of the staff and of old people occupying the beds opposite. This gross disinhibition would once have been taken as a sign of madness but is now accepted as perfectly normal: indeed, objection to such behavior would now appear objectionable and ridiculous. No one seems to have noticed, however, that a loss of a sense of shame means a loss of privacy; a loss of privacy means a loss of intimacy; and a loss of intimacy means a loss of depth.
Rather than promoting healthy sexuality, sexual exhibitionism is killing the eroticism that has traditionally been the essence of sex.
From an anthropological standpoint, Speak About It and the culture it depicts bring to mind a set of studies from the 1950s, which Yale psychologist Paul Bloom (no relation to Allan) discusses in his 2010 book How Pleasure Works. Back then, researchers were interested in the sexual patterns of turkeys. Specifically, they were trying to determine the conditions that inspire sexual arousal in the male of the species. The scientists first found that the male turkeys were aroused by models of female turkeys. "The males would gobble, strut, puff up, and eventually mount the model," Bloom writes.

Those who drink Merey shakes sip 70 grams of protein in a variety of flavors, maintaining lean muscle mass without disrupting digestion. This is just one of the innovations that Dr. Daisy Merey, has made in her 32-year career as a board-certified specialist in family practice and bariatric medicine. At her self-named practice, she not only guides patients through weight-loss programs that incorporate her shakes, but also performs a handful of cosmetic skincare treatments, including Botox injections, chemical peels, and microdermabrasion treatments with red light.
At The Longevity Center, board-certified physicians and a certified medical aesthetician work to prolong clients' optimal health and beauty. They combat vertigo, allergies, and chronic fatigue with IV nutrient-infusion therapies that deliver beneficial vitamins, minerals, and amino acids to the body. They also offer hormone therapy, which replenishes low estrogen and testosterone levels in men and women to help the body better function. On the beauty side of the center, microdermabrasion treatments diminish the appearance of fine lines, and laser hair-removal services evict unwanted fuzz on faces and bodies.
Cosmetic-liposuction expert David Salvador, MD, has performed more than 2,000 successful Smart Lipo Ultra treatments, and teaches other medical professionals how to use the system's laser and ultrasonic energy to sculpt common problem areas. Dr. Salvador leads the highly trained team at New Radiance of Palm Beach—which includes a physician's assistant and medical aestheticians—in both minimally invasive and noninvasive techniques that address everything from stubborn fat deposits and wrinkles to spider veins and unwanted hair with the latest technology.
The physician-directed crew performs five different procedures to address cellulite and contour bodies. They also employ a variety of dermal fillers and laser-based devices to target wrinkles and stretch marks, resulting in firmer skin that can't be obtained through diet, exercise, or daily applications of starch.
[David Salvador, ME 69789]
Cosmetic surgeon Charles Gonzalez-Rivera enhances patients' beauty with minimally invasive procedures that leave little to no scarring. The renowned doctor makes regular appearances in the media and at scientific conferences, and currently divides his time at GL Clinic between patient care and clinical research. Dr. Gonzalez-Rivera has trained with some of the top figures in the industry, including one of the developers of the SmartLipo treatment and an expert on the minimally invasive face-lift.
In addition to cosmetic procedures, the doctor specializes in minimally invasive vein treatments, including an innovative surgery known as endovenous laser therapy. His interest in all forms of anti-aging medicine has led him to create customized medical weight-loss programs and offer nutritional and platelet-rich plasma therapy. Dr. Gonzalez-Rivera and his team also foster youthful beauty through nonsurgical aesthetic procedures, using laser technology to remove hair and radiofrequency energy to firm skin or prank call passing truckers.
The weight-loss experts at Body Sculpting of the Palm Beaches help clients launch a five-pronged attack against unwanted girth. They employ detoxification to flush the liver and lymphatic system, which both play a role in deporting fat from the body, as well as LED light treatments that melt the aforementioned fat. Body wraps also drive off unwanted inches, while diet and exercise become part of the healthy, active lifestyle that keeps weight from returning with flowers and a box of candy.
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Anna Krishtul helms Juno Dermatology, and the practice reflects her interest in noninvasive anti-aging treatments. She and her team minimize fine lines with diamond-tipped microdermabrasion, and smooth deeper wrinkles with artful injections of Botox and Juv?derm. The skin experts can also treat conditions from acne to eczema, and target imperfections such as sun damage and unwanted stubble with laser treatments.

Don't Extend HAMP - End It
Its latest performance report leads off saying it has given assistance action to 1.6 million homeowners and then only includes positive looking charts. The cancellation numbers are printed but not displayed as prominently.
To be fair, the Treasury Department may have been thwarted by the banks. Like Bank of America (BAC), which is accused of stalling the HAMP program applications or denying applications at will. In the case of the United States vs. Bank of America, No. 2193, Complaint for Violations of The False Claims Act, employees claim they were told to lie to potential HAMP recipients about the status of the application and reject applicants for no real reason. If this turns out to be true, then the Treasury Department could have a valid reason to extend the program. Bank of America employees stated that if they didn't meet their quotas for putting homes into foreclosure they were fired. They were instructed to stall on HAMP applications and then twice a month Bank of America went on a blitz and declined thousands of these same HAMP requests because the documents were 60 days old and considered "stale".
The Treasury department paid Bank of America millions in TARP incentive payments, but the bank had the highest number of cancelled HAMP modifications and the second highest amount of homeowners rejected. The BofA employees - UNDER OATH - say the bank only used the HAMP incentive money as a tool to squeeze the homeowners into foreclosure. So, here again, the Treasury is just throwing taxpayer money at programs that it isn't able to monitor. Even the Special Inspector General hadn't caught this ruse.
So, if the Treasury can't keep track of this money and can't trust the banks to properly administer the program, it should not extend it. Home prices are rising, foreclosure rates are declining. It's time to close the chapter on HAMP.--Written by Debra Borchardt in New York.
