'A Serious Man' Trailer Bangs Our Head Against the Wall
Movie News By Scott Beggs on July 30, 2009 | (3) CommentsI honestly have no idea what's happening in this trailer. Or how the Coen brothers are able to make a film a year while other poor saps are sitting around stuck on page 28 of the screenplay they've been working on since college. I'm pretty sure they finished another movie before I finished my bagel and cream cheese this morning. Granted, I do like to savor my breakfast, but that's pretty ridiculous.
Meanwhile, this trailer for A Serious Man tells me absolutely nothing about the story except how unhappy the main character must be. Count me in:
Who in the what? He's right. That rabbi didn't look busy at all.
Something tells me that there's potential for comedy here, but a larger part is pretty sure that the trademark angst of the Coens is coming out in full force. Of course, the last time there was a trailer for one of their films, everybody thought that Burn After Reading was a wacky comedy romp. We see how that actually turned out. Thus, by the transitive property, A Serious Man will actually be a wacky comedy romp.
The film gets a limited release on October 9th here in the states and stars Simon Helberg, Richard Kind, and Adam Arkin. Also, Fyvush Finkel is involved, which is awesome because I haven't seen that dude since "Picket Fences."
What do you think? What the hell is a romp anyway?

What exactly is the West Nile virus? And why is everyone talking about mosquitoes?
Even though it was discovered all the way back in 1937 in Africa, the West Nile virus probably didn't make its way to the United States until 1999. But since then, it has been a cause of concern all over the country during the summer months.
West Nile virus is caused by a bite from an infected mosquito that's already carrying the virus, but it's important to remember that not all mosquitoes are infected. In many parts of the United States, the risk of being bitten by an infected mosquito is greatest from July to early September. But in some parts of the country, mosquito bites can be a risk all year long.
Not everyone who gets bitten by an infected mosquito will get the virus. And although kids can get West Nile virus, it's rare for them to become very sick from it.
Symptoms of West Nile virus really depend on the person who becomes infected. Kids with normal immune systems (say: ih-myoon), the system of the body that fights off disease and infection, usually get just a mild "flu-like" illness and may not feel bad at all with the infection.
People over 50 years old and those with weakened immune systems due to HIV/AIDS, cancer, or organ transplants are most at risk for the infection.
Most of the time, symptoms of West Nile virus are similar to the flu and include:
In the most rare and extreme cases, West Nile virus can cause a condition called encephalitis (say: en-sef-uh-ly-tis), which is irritation and swelling of the brain.
West Nile virus is not spread from person to person. That means if your friend next door just got it, and you played together the day before, you won't get the virus. And though pets can get the virus, they can't spread it to people. The only way to get it is from the bite of an infected mosquito.
So, what's being done to stop the spread of West Nile virus? Health officials in each state do their best to find out where mosquitoes live and kill the eggs of mosquitoes that might carry the virus.
You can do your best to prevent coming in contact with West Nile virus. You'll want to avoid mosquitoes as much as you can. Watch out for mosquitoes in the early morning and in the early evening since that's when they're often very active. Mosquitoes also like standing water, like in wading pools and creeks.

College students are arguably the group on campus least resistant to assessment efforts. Yet, they remain an untapped resource as institutions seek ways to prove their value to both students and society. The key to effectively involving students in outcomes assessment is to intentionally match faculty need with student interest. When students serve as statisticians, interns, and researchers, this is a 3-way win for faculty, students, and directors of assessment.
For example, our theatre department stored years of self-evaluations submitted by students during the formidable BFA review. Majors in the fine arts enter degree programs as BA students. The BA is a general degree. Acceptance into the professional degree program, the BFA, requires approval by departmental faculty through a rigorous review process that includes evaluation of live performances, coursework submitted to a portfolio, a written application, and an interview before the BFA committee. Part of the written application for the theatre BFA program includes a self-evaluation that students complete at the end of their first year. Following a recommendation by the assessment office, the faculty began submitting evaluations of each student along with his or her self-evaluation. A student intern interested both in music and statistics analyzed the data and wrote a report that led to a faculty-led focus on the importance of self-discipline for the successful BFA theatre student. Students now report specific ways they are working toward this goal. Improvements in student health, time management, and professionalism have been noted. Other projects that involved students analyzing piles of stored data include: student work constructing difficulty and discrimination matrices for assessment exams, reliability analyses of rubric data for composition courses, mapping of the number and types of writing-intensive courses students take en route to undergraduate degrees, multidimensional scaling of general education goals, and comparisons of global awareness of teacher education students interning in various geographical areas of the state.
Sometimes a simple review of existing data leads to meaningful student research. For example, a group of students curious about discrepancies between student (NSSE) and faculty (FSSE) perceptions of student commitment to academic endeavors hypothesized that one group's low-performing benchmark scores on academic challenge were due to low faculty expectations. They conducted an experiment that resulted in an evidence-based report to deans on just how much faculty would expect of first-year students if they "saw us as we see ourselves." Another experiment that started with a review of masses of unused data resulted in a recitation intervention with one of the university's gatekeeper courses that suffered from high DFW rates. Student-conducted focus groups with participants along with pre-post data analysis have resulted in ongoing changes made to the general chemistry course.
Finally, students can be an asset to the assessment work done by co-curricular units. Assisting the career services unit, four students enrolled in a research methods course were able to double the response rate of senior exit surveys after they hypothesized that mode of delivery was the cause of poor return. In another co-curricular project, seniors who were told that the chancellor wanted to make the commencement ceremony more student-centric conducted focus groups, analyzed data, and, most importantly, witnessed changes made to the ceremony. Imagine the students' delight when the chancellor showed up at their presentation of results to the commencement committee! In other co-curricular areas, students have conducted benchmarking, information literacy, and university mission surveys for the learning outcomes advisory council. Their findings have been used to defend programs and student learning outcomes before the faculty senate.
The involvement of students in assessment has rewarded the faculty, the director of assessment, and, of course, the students themselves. Faculty have used student-analyzed data for presentations to curriculum committees, discussions of general education reform, and changes to their own pedagogy. Students boost their graduate-school applications, vitas, and resumes with real-world experience and glowing letters of recommendation. They present their projects and research at our annual Create@StAte , a symposium of student research, scholarship, and creative work. This year, the coveted undergraduate overall poster presentation award went to the students working with assessment in general chemistry. Such accomplishments advance the culture of assessment campus wide.
Some tips for involving students in assessment:
As an assessment director and faculty member, I require a collaborative research project in a course I teach. Approximately one-half of those students contact me after the course and ask either to continue with assessment work related to their project or to volunteer for work with ongoing assessment research. College students today never have questioned demands for evidence of learning, and they make great outcomes assessment collaborators.

Patrick once was planning to give SpongeBob a rock that was in the shape of a heart. However, he thought SpongeBob was trapped inside, so he destroyed it.
Sandy once gave SpongeBob an acorn that was in the shape of a heart with an arrow in it.

I be happy to spank you! where do you live?
I want to be spanked, i dunno why, i just do.
nothing hotter than a guy spanking my ass hard, calling me a bad slut
I love spanking, it's so hot to have a guy over the knees and spank him real good. I would just love to see a youngster (or more of them) spank a fit daddy.
Spanking is a really great scene. I think it is a turn-on because my Dad used to take his belt off and beat the crap out of me. I would have to strip naked and lay across the bed or later, bend over....it was humiliating, painful and very scarey when I knew it was coming. Sometimes it just came out of nowhere. As an adult, to be naked and put into position to submit a spanking has always been a big turn on. Last time I got spanked, I was naked and bent over the dom's bed. He took a leather paddle to my butt, at the back and insides of my thighs. The scene ended with him tying me face up spread eagle and riding my rock hard cock. Always like getting my ass slapped hard while I'm gettin fucked from behind, too.
I only did this once ... but it was fucking out of this world. I had a tall twink I know who is into spanking agree to give me a dose at his apartment. I got naked and laid across his knee. OMG ... from his hand to a paddle ... fucking awesome, but my ass hurt. I came since my dick was stuck beetween his feet, and I could not stop from nutting when he went from paddle, back to hands.... Its an awesome feeling when you dont touch yourself and you nut!
I think the humiliation part has a lot to do with it. I'd love to be made to strip naked and assume the position for my punishment. What a rush!
Sometimes my boyfriend likes to spank me while I'm on all fours, before he fucks me. It's pretty hot.
Love spanking!!
I have to have my bottom spanked every few weeks - and caned, slippered, tawsed and much more.
I have a blog where I am writing the stories of all my beatings with different masters.
Have a look if you're interested:
Getting spanked hard before a good fuck is awesome! For me, it just makes me that much more aware of how little power I have in the bedroom and how much control my bf has over me (I like it that way). I have a paddle and also some old belts that my bf uses, but he often just uses his hand as well. I don't get spanked every time, but depending on the mood, I have been spanked anywhere from 30 smacks (very light, ass doesn't even get red) to 200 smacks (ass was still bright red the next day). I usually count off each spank as we go.
Looking forward to getting spanked tonight...
Boys, watch this perfect ass getting spanked
spanking is something ive always found as a turn on and have done it to others and (as i prefer) have it done to me. not a fan of anything rough, but god do i love a man pinkening my cheeks
God spanking turns me on so much! I've been spanked by some great ones. Had an older man take me over his knee, pull my belt from my pants and wrap it around my wrists and then pull my pants off and spank me for a very long time. It was at a bondage party. Eventually, he had me completely naked and blindfolded with my hands still bound by my belt. He fingered my ass but would not let me cum. Then he kept my hands bound behind me while he walked me around the party naked. I think everyone who had a free hand groped me. Eventually, he strapped my to a bondage horse, still blindfolded. He continued to pummel my ass and then he and I think one or two other guys fucked me, all the while spanking my very red ass. One of them finally jacked me off while I was being fucked. It was so hot, I stayed hard after cumming. He told me to stay naked which I quite happily did. Later on, he came back to me and he and another man dragged up to the cross they had, chained me to it, blindfolded me again and I was well flogged and fondled. God so hard remembering it all.
So yeah, I love getting spanked.
I love getting spanked. But so many seem reluctant to do it. Also would love to spank a boy.
The strap marks on my smooth little ass are almost faded.......it's time for another spanking. Maybe tomorrow.
It would be hot if a guy took me over his knee and spanked my bare ass! Spankings get me incredibly hard and horny!
Not many guys I have met are into spanking..
Spanking is hot!!
Yeah. I had a boyfriend spank me once and was like, this isnt doing anything for me.
I would really like to be spanked, I've definitely fantasized about it enough.
Being forced to bend over a knee and getting spanked until my ass is raw. With him telling me I'm a bad slut and forcing me to ask for forgiveness. Having him force me to count out the spanks and thank him for teaching me my place, just generally verbally humiliating me and laughing at how hard my cock is from the humiliation. Afterwards having him force me to stay in the position and have him come over and smack my face with his cock as he laughs at how much of a slut I am.
Damn that's a turn on.
I've never been spanked, but GOSH I want it... I'm kinda submissive about everything and spanking is a "yes, please!"
Spanking my ass gets me so hard and horny!
Love Love Love getting my arse spanked and returning the favour.
I love spanking a guy while he is sucking my cock!
I totally love spanking guys and getting spanked. There are many interesting positions for spanking but I find the "over the knee" position the most intimate and humiliating (a good type of humiliation).
It's especially fun to combine spanking with edging - there is nothing quite like making a boy squirt his cum while spanking him.
When playing with another "switch" it's a blast to play a game-of-chance which involves spanking for the loser.
I'm a big spanking fan, either spanking guys or seeing them get spanked. I think the hottest scenes are when there is a power and perhaps age differential, like a teacher spanking a student against his will. It's not quite as hot, at least when it comes to porn, if the bottom wants to be spanked.
I love being spanked while I'm getting fucked
Been spanking some SoCal boys lately...go figger.
The deal is that a lot of guys into it have a really specific scene (clothed, naked, hand, brush, whatever) both with and without any sex involved. WTF? I have learned to ask the right questions up front.
When the butt bounces lol
*⁂⁑* The Lonely Snow Queen, Elsa *⁑⁂*
I need to be turned over a spanking table and have my as whipped in my super skintight jeans with the crack seam splitting my ass in two and a whip scorching each cheek and the sides of my crack. Then forced to crawl on my hands and knees and lick the soles of the man spanking me keeps my hard and spurting cum like Niagara.
Love being spanked, great stories guys

I have been purchasing the CBTL capsules for about a1 1/2 years now. I cannot imagine a morning without espresso! When I want a more full bodied espresso, I really like the premium. It does have a slight bittersweet finish but personally, I rather like it that way.This is my second favorite of CBTL's espressos (second only to the Continental espresso). Can't say anything negative about this product.

I reorder this one (orange) to confuse my picky husband who is starting to like it as much as the cafeterra!

About Me Frequent Diner
A good Espresso with 1% milk but not as good as the Continental Espresso with 2%. If I feel like a coffee in the evening this is what I'll use, but I find the Continental to be more refined and richer. The Premium is still a good coffee though and deserves 4 stars.

Dating from 1900, the lilliputian chatelaine or miniature purse is marked "Sterling" on the inside of the frame. There are a couple other tiny marks as well, but they are indecipherable, even with magnification. Not only is the tiny purse in excellent condition, but it has a great feel to it. From outside of rim, the widest part measures 1-7/8", and from the top of closure to the bottom of the mesh measures 1-3/4", not including the four little decorative balls at the bottom. Think how proud your favorite doll would be when given this gem for her Easter present to wear with her best dress! Thank you for visiting.

You know spring is here when the colorful crocus start to sprout and there's still sunlight during the evening commute. Even though we experienced a mild winter here in New England, I am still feeling that yearly inner yearning to get outside now that spring is officially here.

In early November 2011, Equal Exchange traveled to the West Bank to meet with the members of the Palestinian Agricultural Relief Committee (PARC) from whom we are now buying organic, fairly traded olive oil.

Have you ever noticed feeling extra tired during the winter months? Less energy to do the things you usually do, like exercising or playing with your kids? As we shift into winter, the sun goes down earlier and rises later, the temperature drops, and our energy levels tend to follow. Not all of us are prone to the winter pull; some find the cold reenergizing. Regardless of which side of the fence you fall on, the below tips may boost your mood and help you feel stronger and healthier during the winter months.

With the holidays quickly approaching, I always get questions about how to prepare for the season to avoid weight gain or overdoing it when all the tempting, delectable treats appear on the scene. I am a huge sucker for my grandma's fresh baked rolls and brownies cooked using Equal Exchange dark chocolate. Luckily, I have found that these tasty delights can fit into a healthy, balanced diet, without guilt. How? Everything in moderation! What is moderation?

musa - from what you've laid out, there's a lot of "quid", but not much "pro quo".
In other words, what's in it for the owner? I think that's what you're being asked - and it's a perfectly valid question. And your listed credentials don't help answer that very well.
Reading through your posts - the only "pro quo" I see would be the case of a boat owner that had a personal mission to help young creatives who he/she believed in, or who's work he/she believed in. In that case, you might actually find a benefactor because financial gain or true assistance with labor is not that important.
Apart from that, if you've got no skills or money to help the owner with the boat (even though you're willing to learn them) what is the "something in return"? The "pro quo"?
Maybe those creative benefactors are out there - and it definitely never hurts to ask. But it sure seems like a hard sell.
Personally, I'd sue Google.

17DD Success, Gluten Avoidance and Vit D
View GABBY308's Sparkpage
View All Blog Entries from GABBY308
Thursday, November 17, 2011
This a repeat of a 17DD topic post. Most of my 17DD team members know that I'm constantly cautioning members when they add gluten back in to their diets on Cycle 2 and Cycle 3 (like Dr. Mike's power cookies which have oatmeal and whole wheat). For those who don't know the first 17 day cycle is a cleansing cycle and eliminates most processed foods. At least once a day when someone wants tips for those cycles, or if someone complains about not losing weight I urge them to keep a food diary and notice how their body reacts when they add back in certain starches that contain gluten. Now I have confirmation that I was correct.
I went to my rheumatologist for my bi-annual check up for my fibromyalgia. Of course, he congratulated me on my weight loss (60 lbs since he last saw me). my excellent numbers for blood test results and my lower blood pressure. He actually gave me a real physical pat on the back.
I told him all about Sparkpeople (he wrote it down to suggest it to other patients), and I explained all about the 17DD. I told him in detail what foods were allowed in each cycle. He nodded his head knowingly, when I told him that I don't lose weight when I eat oatmeal or whole wheat, even if my calorie count is under 1200 calories. He questioned me how else I felt when I ate those foods and I explained that my cravings and hunger return, and I have also gotten stomach aches.
When I told him that I feel better on this diet than I have in years because I have less pain and have more energy, he said that there were two major reasons for my feeling better:
1. My Vitamin D level is now 47 which is great. It had been dangerously low (below 20) six months ago. He said everyone in the Northern Hemisphere should take Vit D supplements and told me to continue taking 4000 mg /day. (Google Vit D deficiency)
2. NO GLUTEN - He said that the main reason I feel better is because I have eliminated Gluten. He explained that Gluten can cause pain and inflammation among a lot of other things.
The nutritionist yesterday, also mentioned gluten. She blames the problem not just on gluten from processing, but also the GMO wheat they use in the U.S. She said that she eliminated it from her diet 7 years ago and feels a lot better since doing so.
So, forgive me if I sound like a broken record and keep mentioning gluten sensitivity. I think it may be at the root of a lot of our problems with weight and ill health. You don't have to be diagnosed with Celiac disease to have a problem with gluten. Next time the scale goes up, don't just assume it's because of sodium. Ask yourself if you ate anything with gluten. Check the list. You'll be surprised at how many things have gluten besides the obvious grains - like soy sauce and even yogurt!
Healthy eating!

Congrats on your weight loss. I had a Vit D3 level of 9 at one time. I caution people who live in the south because they can have that same problem.
Hope you are doing well!!!
Warm regards,

Thanks for sharing... just got done with competition, which of course that diet removes most of the items listed on the link you provided, and of course, I felt great. Over the holidays, alot of that stuff was back in my diet and I now feel horrible... tested for Celiac came back negative, but I do believe it is gluten sensitivity based on my food journals... seeing specialist next week.
I am like you, I believe in those food journals! They take time, but can be a true eye opener.
Again, thanks for sharing.

Congrats on the 60 lb loss! Thats a terrific accomplishment. Something to be very proud of.
I too have discovered my sensitivity to gluten. A little over 4 years ago, I went gluten free. AMAZING!! So many (not all) of my health issues went away. Not immediately, mind you, but over time. Our grocery shopping trips are very lengthy because we read EVERY label. I try not to eat anything from cans, but its very difficult not to. Unfortunately, our move to Texas where they FRY everything has bumped me back into eating things I shouldnt. Thanks for the reminder!!

Great info! Thank so much for sharing!
Way to go on releasing the 60 pounds. Super!

Wow! Congratulations on the 60 pounds gone! that's pure awesomeness!
And much as I would hate to agree but I know I feel better if I lay off the processed wheat products (I live in Kansas, among the top wheat producer states in the USA - just call me "Benedict Arnolda").
I really suspect I'm NYD on the Celiac thing... "Not Yet Diagnosed". I really really need to start me a food diary that also tracks how I feel, how my ears and eyes do etc. I've noticed eating too much junk and I won't be able to see well the next few days, especially if I'm inactive the same day. If I've gotten out and walked or had other exercise, it's not so bad. Also some foods and then within a few minutes of eating them, I start having tinnitus. I'm already deaf, so I need tinnitus like I need another hole in the head...

I know your doc is VERY proud of you - us, too! 60 pounds down - that's totally awesome, young lady!!!
I'm chiming in here because, much to my dismay, I absolutely agree with you about the gluten sensitivity. My tastebuds LOVE breads and pastries and crackers and all things glutenny. But my digestive system certainly doesn't. I seem to be a slow learner and find myself reverting back to my old ways, which is destructive. Why I can't learn is a mystery, but one I need to keep vigilant about.
I also agree with you about the Vit D - I have been taking 5000 a day for about 2 years now and it brings my levels just up to the bottom of the Good category. It's a great supplement. I'm going to go check out your link now.

Congratulations on the wonderful doctor report. Your weight loss is something to be quite proud of. I too have had a problem in the past with gluten and am still learning about the food that it is hidden in.
Keep up the great work!!

And this year, Anthony, who has skied at exotic locales all over the world for the past 21 years while filming with Warren Miller Entertainment, got to stay in his own back yard for the company's latest production, Wintervention. "The footage we shot is in the Stone Creek area on the east side of Beaver Creek, in these steep little pillow-line chutes that they just opened up a few years ago," he says. In it, you can see super-slow-mo shots of him throwing powder all over the place, filmed with a special camera shooting 350 frames per second. "It's a spot some of us locals have been charging for years, and the chutes are now officially part of the ski area. Wait for a really big storm and then get back there and go nuts."
But when there's no new snow, Beaver Creek has great groomers as well. "I'll happily spend the whole day under Centennial riding the same three runs over and over again," Anthony says. Beaver Creek also has the McCoy Park Nordic Center for cross-country skiers or snowshoeing, as well as terrain parks and the kid-appropriate Bachelor Gulch and Arrow Bahn areas.
Speaking of kids, the Chris Anthony Youth Initiative works with nonprofits like SOS Outreach, First Descents and the Children's Hospital Sports Program to help get more kids on the mountain, and this season he's focused on the 10th Mountain Division Film Project, a joint effort with Warren Miller Entertainment and the Colorado Ski & Snowboard Museum.
"What I want to do is retrace the route that a bunch of guys from the 10th went and did prior to being deployed in Italy in 1943, following their route from Camp Hale to Aspen, skiing and highlighting those mountains and getting into their whole story. There's an awful lot of history in these hills."

Breckenridge Ski Area
Breckenridge snowboarder JJ Thomas had one hell of a season last year: He won the Winter Dew Tour, shot some footage at Breckenridge with the Warren Miller Entertainment film crew with his teammates Steve Fisher and Zack Black, and started his own business, Boulder-based clothing company YEA.NICE. This season he's got even bigger plans. "I spent my summer snowboarding at the Windell's camp out at Mount Hood and then trained down in New Zealand for the last few months, and I'm getting ready to start riding in Colorado again now that it's snowing like crazy," Thomas says. "I haven't really had a summer, which is how I like it."
Breck's catering to Thomas and his Dew Tour cohorts this season with its first-ever 22-foot superpipe, which will open in time for the Nike 6.0 Open, December 16 to 19. Thomas wants to win on his home turf, and he'll be waving the banner for local pride when he does: "Breck is hands-down the best ski town in Colorado — the best mountain and mountain-town combo you can get — and caters to the top, top tier of professionals and extreme go-getters."
To go get some for yourself, check out the Freeway Terrain Park — home to the new superpipe — on Peak 8. Breck's also offering a new elite Ski & Ride program for advanced and expert skiers and riders looking to step it up, and unveiling a new Peak-to-Peak Challenge for its Breckenridge Adventure Sessions: Register at Breckenridge.com and then attempt to ski or ride ten black runs across all four peaks in a single day.
"Breck is great, because the mountain has a little bit of everything," Thomas says. "I get so focused on training in the pipe that it can be easy to forget."
When you're not tearing it up in the park and pipe, Thomas suggests seeking out the steepest and deepest terrain the mountain has to offer: "Get as far up Peak 8 or Peak 7 as you can to get away from the crowds and really challenge yourself. It's good to get out there and remind yourself what snowboarding's all about."

Buttermilk Mountain
Aspen's smallest ski area has developed a bit of a split personality in the fifteen years since it began hosting the Winter X Games: It's now as well known for its big booters and 22-foot Olympic-sized superpipe as it is for its gentle groomers and family-friendly beginner and intermediate runs. Bridging that gap, there's also the Panda Pipe terrain park for beginners, a dedicated run from the top of the West Buttermilk lift to midway.

A Beast,
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
I am replacing a Cannon S820 inkjet. I decided to buy another Cannon because its paper handling was superb. My local Staples had no simple Cannon printers, so I bought the MX452. This is my first printer/scanner and first wireless printer.
Day 1 First impression: For an inkjet this thing is a beast, massive and heavy, a lot of printer for $80. There are two paper paths. Pages to be copied or scanned feed left via the document feeder to the glass scanning bed below and return beneath the originals. Plain paper is fed in at the bottom front and copies output to the paper tray above. Setup: After assembly, following the step by step instructions, I skipped over the wireless setting (on the small low contrast display) and plugged the printer into my computer via USB. Wireless or USB: While billed as wireless, the printer has two USB ports, square in rear and standard in front. The rear port is for communication with PC, and Canon says the front port is for a USB flash memory stick. I am going to use a USB cable with my desktop, since my WiFi has a way of randomly going down and needing to be rebooted, and wireless for a portable I occasionally use. Drivers: Windows 7 says no drivers need be installed for a USB printer (it's done automatically). Really? Didn't work for my Cannon S820 and didn't work here. The needed drivers (print, scan and fax) are on the enclosed Canon CD, but it took several tries to get them to install. Wireless: Here I am stuck. All the instructions start by saying pull up "wireless" on the printer display. How? I skipped over it at the beginning, and now I can't pull it up, neither the menu button nor the back button does it. (I solve this problem on day 2.) Performance: Great Copy: My first tests show this works like a 'real' copier. Has a document feeder, and it takes only one button press to do a color or BW copy. A first test with a utility bill with some color gave a copy almost identical to the original. No adjustments, no hassles. Printer: As a printer, this thing is fast and clean, very impressive. With it's default settings it is much, much faster (and noisier) than my old S820. What I like, following up on tips from other reviewers, it that you can run this printer two ways: as a fast, and somewhat noise office type printer (default setting), or via printer preferences you can tame it, so it becomes a much quieter, slightly slower, ink stretching home type printer. In printer preferences you have a choice of five ink (density) settings with default in center. The printer has a 'quiet' mode, which slows it. I did the printer test page with the default settings and with print quality set to 'fast' (other reviewer call it 'draft' mode) and quiet mode on. The only difference I see in a side by side comparison is that in fast/quiet mode the blacks are not quite as dark, but perfectly acceptable. I am going to adopt fast/quiet mode for my routine printing. There is also an option to reduce color intensity and contrast, so I am going to do this too to stretch the color ink. Canon sells cheaper ink cartridges for this machine that are only partially filled, but for lowest cost/page buy the full cartridges: 240 XXL (black) and 241 XL(color), about $57 for the pair. This printer will print even if one of its two cartridges runs out of ink, leave it in and select the good cartridge in preferences. Day 2 WiFi: I finally got WiFi working using a file in the Win directory of the Canon CD called MSetup4.exe. This file allows you to connect the printer to WiFi using a (temp) USB cable. It downloads a driver, then guides step by step for keypresses on the printer and in the software. No password had to be entered even though my WiFi network has security, which was a surprise. The Canon CD was needed too in my laptop for it to install the needed printer drivers. In my final setup printer is connected to my desktop computer via a USB cable and to my laptop via WiFi. Scanner: The scanner is functional, but the (default) scanner software is horrible: no zoom, no rotate, no way to preview changes in lightness/darkness. The default scanner software I am referring to here is what opens when right clicking the printer/scanner icon in the Windows control panel and selecting 'Start Scan'. Day 3 Finally found the advanced Cannon scanning program: 'Scangear'. It had been installed from the CD, but without a shortcut so it was hidden. To start Scangear from the desktop I added a shortcut to the file 'ScanUtility.exe' (found in the folder 'IJ Scan Utility'). (Tip: Scangear defaults to 'zoom' grayed out, to ungray 'zoom' click the upper left icon.) The Canon installation from the CD has a nasty feature. On the desktop it inserts about 10 icons (!) all grouped into a backward L shaped thing that hugs the lower right corner of the desktop. I have never seen anything like it before. It's huge, using up a ton of desktop real estate and overwriting other shortcuts. It's the Canon Easy menu, and you can get rid of it by uninstalling the Easy Menu.

A Good "Does It All" Printer,
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
Bought the MX452 to replace an old HP all-in-one. Although the HP was a great printer in terms of hardware, I had recurring problems with the accompanying HP software, so decided to give Canon a try.
I wanted a four-function printer for general home use. So far, so good. The MX452 is easy to set up (I'm using a USB connection, not the wireless option). The Canon software installed without problem. The software has more bells and whistles than you really need (don't they all?), but once you learn where the essential functions are, it's a breeze. Printing quality is excellent, speed is good and it is relatively quiet. It accommodates a variety of paper and envelope sizes. Photo printing quality is good, but not the best I've seen (after all, consider the MX452's price). If photo printing is your thing, I'd recommend one of the Canon MG-series printers. The main difference between the MX452 and it's higher-priced cousins seems to be the absence of the automated two-sided printing feature, which I don't need. The printer's physical construction is almost totally plastic, so one needs to be a little gentle with it. I don't think this is the right printer for commercial office use - you would want something physically sturdier for that - but its fine for my relatively light home use. A good value for the buck. **UPDATE ONE YEAR ON 5/05/14** After a year+ of use, I've had absolutely no problems with the MX452. It still rates 5 stars from me!

A nice do-it-all printer!,
By Starlike (Queens, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
Updated August 3, 2013....I recently purchased the Canon PIXMA MX522 wireless color all in one office printer. I also wrote a review for it as well. There wasn't anything that was major or wrong with this printer but I really just wanted an upgrade with more features. I still like this printer, but I love the MX522!
July 21, 2013....Updated review.....After owning this printer for some time I wouldn't recommend this printer for a business or home office. I had to print up 70 pages recently for a project and even though it printed well it did take some time for the pages to print. But it is still a good printer for home use if you just need to print a few pages daily. I still feel that the scanner features still needs more tools. I do have a Visioneer scanner and I use the Paperport software that came with it. So if I need major editing tools Visioneer is my go to scanner. It would be nice if Canon put some time into the scanner features then I wouldn't have to drop a star. This Canon printer is nice. I also own the Canon PIXMA IP100 Mobile Photo Printer since Feb 2009. I love that printer because it was mobile, small and printed beautiful photos as well as documents. But lately is started to have a few problems (going to have it repaired) that I had to put it on the shelf for this new Canon MX452. I really wanted something that was 100% wireless without sending it a cloud. This printer does everything that is says it will do and more. Printing, scanning, and faxing is a breeze! And it really is 100% wireless! I installed the software (CD) that came with the printer on my Windows 8 PC with no problems at all. There are a few programs that are helpful that work well with your printer. The Canon website also has the software on line, but then you have to install each program individually. I had to use the printer USB cable that came with the printer in order for me to connect wireless. But you may or may not need to use the cable like I had to in order to set it up. The software and cable came in handy and connected me right away. After 1 minute the printer recognized my network. I put in my network password and connected and then the installation CD asked you to remove the printer cable to then go wireless. The only cord that is used is the power cord and the telephone cord for the faxing. Best part is I can print now from anywhere in the house from my laptop or tablet and even my Android cell. Goggle play has a Canon app, but it's really not needed since mostly every program or web page has a print button to click on. Just make sure you don't turn off the printer power button. When the printer is not in use the printer will just go to sleep to reduce the power. But as soon as you click print or any other feature the printer will wake up immediately. Printing documents is sharp and clear. This printer uses 2 ink tanks (color & black). Most printer brands these days use 5 or more inks cartridges. So it really depends on how much color printing you use to notice any cost savings in using 5 tanks verses 2 tanks. So far the ink that came in the box is still going strong and has not run out. We use the printer for personal use everyday. The only thing I wish Canon would of spent more time in perfecting this printer is adding more tools to the scanning features of the printer. Needs work, but will get the scanning job done. This printer even has an area just for scanning photo negatives. Photo printing is really nice, but I didn't really purchase this for my photos. But overall for the low price and for everything that this printer does it is a purchase that I still recommend. But just make sure you do a comparison shopping before getting this one. I highly recommend the MX522 over this model.

A Nice Basic Printer With A few Extras.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
My last Canon served me well for a couple of years. Then, all of a sudden, it displayed an unrecoverable error message regarding paper feed. Oddly, every single function, including scanning or copying to my computer, was rendered useless as well. After all attempts to fix this failed, I plugged my nose, and decided to stick with the Canon brand.
PROS: *Seems solid and well built for the price. *It connected very nicely to my wireless network. I expected a fight, as this is the first wireless printer I have owned. No problems. Within 10 minutes or less, I was printing wireless. *AirPrint is a nice bonus, and It works. I was both happy and surprised. *Good quality prints. I play around occasionally with photo's, but really all I need is something that prints documents. Whether scanned or from an e-mail attachment, the quality is very good. The few photo's I did print came out fine, and the quality rivaled many from other more expensive printers. Not bad. CONS: *If printing speed really matters to you, this is not where you will get it. For my casual use, however, I am fine with the printing speeds. *It will go thru ink, especially the "starter" ink supply that comes standard with this unit. It is by design. Replacement ink cartridges, while very expensive, contain more ink, and therefore will last longer. While it may still cost a small fortune if you print a lot of stuff, to be fair, don't judge ink usage by what is supplied initially. Once you run out of original supply quite quickly, casual users will probably do alright with the replacement cartridges. *It is somewhat noisy, and seems to grind just a little bit while working. The noise is not as bad as I have heard on other printers, so probably this is what is expected. It looks and feels substantial. The price is good. I guess if you even only get a couple years out of this thing, you could still go on with your life and buy something else (or another Canon, like I did). BOTTOM LINE: 5 stars in this price range! Wireless is not fussy, so that is one less thing to worry about. An overall great purchase if a basic, all in one, with reliable Wi-Fi appeals to you. Recommended. Update: 3/18/2014: I temporarily downgraded my rating, because after a few months of not using, it was hard to get this printer to start again. Have since learned long periods of non usage causes the ink to dry out, and it takes a while for the printer to fix this. The next day, I printed something and it worked like new again. Back to 5 stars, it is a good low priced printer.

This cable was not necessary for either set up, but I did have trouble with their "quick WiFi set up"--on both printers. Both printers have quick-set-up for connecting to your WiFi home network. You press your router's network button and the printer is supposed to find it and hook up to it. The trouble is, neither did. It wasn't that they didn't "see" the router/network. They did, and both showed it. But they couldn't make that connection on their own. We went to the Canon website (as instructed by the little flyer(s) inside the package(s) with the manuals.) We followed those directions (which were basically the same as the instructions that popped up on the screens of the printers), and had no luck. I finally went into an alternative network setup option and found the router and inputted the security code and both printers hooked into the network without a problem. Seems something about the quick-start didn't work with my Verizon router. Neither printer required any physical connection to the router nor any computer for Network set up. There are lots of options for both printers--the trouble is, with the 452, it's hard to maneuver the menus because it is hard to see the screen. The 522 was easy and seemed simpler (even though it has a few more options). The optional software has printing programs for photos, etc. Typical for all Canon and other big-name companies. The face recognition software was pretty neat--and kind of creepy. Both can do borderless photo printing, are optimized for Canon photo papers, and claim that with the combination of Canon inks combined with Canon papers, your photos will last up to 100 years in an archival-quality photo album. (Up to? Not much of a promise...if they said, "at least", we'd be talking...) Auto scan modes, auto document fix, Movie Print, 30 Sheet Auto Document Feeder, and more are on both printers, and work equally well (but I do think the 522 is a tiny bit faster). The 452 does NOT have full duplex printing. This is a big drawback for me, as I print a lot of paper for school and don't want it all one-sided (and I certainly don't want to stand there hand feeding pages back in to get the backside printed). The 522 has FULL DUPLEX PRINTING. This means that it automatically prints on both sides of the paper (if you choose that option). You do not have to hand-feed the pages back in. My current printer has this, and once you have had it, you don't want to go back. The Fax programs are the same, and work equally well. Of course, the menu/caller ID is far easier to see with the 522. Transmission speeds on both are (black) 3 seconds per page and (color) i minute per page. Both have a 50 page memory, and both have modems that transmit at 33.6 Kbps. As a Copier, both Reduce/Enlarge from 25% to 400%. Both have menus that allow you to lighten/darken the copies. Copy speeds are (color) 4.7 ipm. The Scanner is identical on both printers. Both have a Scanning Element that is a Contact Image Sensor (CIS), with resolutions of 1200x2400 dpi (optical), 19,200x19,200 (interpolated) with ADF (Auto Document Feeder):600x600 dpi (optical). Both have a max color depth of 48-bit internal/24-bit external, and the same max document size of 8.5x11.7" on the flatbed scanner and 8.5x14" on the ADF (Auto Document Feeder) Standard Interface is identical, except that the 522 includes PictBridge. (See above side-by-side comparison.) OS compatible with Win 8, 7, RT, 7 SP1, Vista SP1, Vista SP2, XP SP3, Mac OS x 10.5.8, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 The 452 states that it for Intel Processors Only. This is not listed for the 522. Both printers can use the XL and XXL ink cartridges. On the Canon Website, they have some apps that are pretty neat--the printing apps are the iEPP (Print pictures, Scan items), and Mobile Printing (Print Documents, Web Pages, and Images). Both work with iPhone and can be downloaded directly from the App Store for free. Because the 452 has the 2-Line LCD display with NO BACKLIGHT (How did you miss this one, Canon?) it is quite difficult to read. I have pretty bad vision, and had a tough time getting through the menus. The 522 has a very bright and clear LED display. It's not a touch screen (that would be the one improvement I'd like to see). It is very easy to read and use, and for those like me with bad vision, it's a blessing. Both printers have fax, capability, copying capability, Scanning capability, and Caller ID/Call block rules for the fax. Both printers have built-in templates for graph paper, ruled notebook paper, children's printing paper, schedules, calendars, to-do lists, and more. Getting to the menu options for these is much easier on the 522, but isn't too bad for the 452. The Quiet feature is wonderful. I don't know how they do it, but both printers ran quieter and the "beep" and "alarm" volumes are very adjustable. They are each quite capable printers, both are quiet, quick, and do an excellent printing job. BUT there are many differences. If you are looking for a utilitarian-looking printer, the PIXMA MX452 is a good choice, but the screen is not very easy to read, and you have to do a LOT of scrolling to get through the menus. If you're more like me, and like easy-to-read menus and the sleeker shiny surface and/or you are a Google-Cloud Printer or double-sided printer, you will be better served with the Canon PIXMA MX522. I took a bunch of pictures of them side-by-side, during the set-up. I will post them on the Customer Images section of this page. I hope this review helped you out--sometimes we don't realize we "want" a feature until we have seen it elsewhere. (For me, the Google-Cloud Print was my "surprise" feature--but now that I have seen and used it, I know I'll use it again.) For my use, which is typical home-use and school-use, I'd opt for the MX522. It's 50 dollars more expensive, but I know I'd save that in paper (with the duplex) in no time. It looks better--more sleek, and the LED screen is bright and looks nice, too.

Ok for the money. Software issues. Poor Scanner,
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
I purchased this printer as a replacement for a HP 4150 Color smart AIO. I bought this particular printer for two reasons,
1) It has only two cartridges. I do not print many pictures and what I do print is for personal use. 2) The scanner was rated better than some of the other higher priced Canon printers. I have had this printer for about a week. The installation process was not as easy as it could have been. The software hung up and I had to restart the process. At one point in the initialization process an error message popped up telling me that the software was not compatible with IE8? HUH!! Well I restarted the process and it finally did install the software after about an hour. Really Canon. I have put together furniture faster than this. Printing: The printing seems to work at an acceptable level for home use. I set the defaults to black and white only to stop the unnecessary use of the color ink. This is also where the Canon software is not really user friendly. The ability to set how the printer uses ink is buried in a second level control panel under another button. If you are not familiar with the way windows control panel works you may not even know that this exists. Scanning: The scanner cuts off the first 1/4 inch of the left side of the scan. I found that the scanning area is smaller than the scanner bed. There is black on black marking across the top of the scanner showing you where the paper should be. I have had several AIO printers and I have not seen any scanner that did not scan the entire width of the bed. Black and white scanning appears to be fine. Color scanning is terrible. I tried several different professional pictures and each time the scanner did not scan white areas without pixelation. The color areas were not true. This is not useable for business or for anyone who needs professional prints. This is really not good enough for a basic scanner. My HP was so much better than this scanner. What I also do not like is that the scanner WILL NOT start a scan from the front panel of the printer. The scanner must be started through the supplied software after it has been opened. On the Hp that I am replacing I could have the computer on, place a picture on the scanner and hit start scan. The software would then open. This is really poorly thought out on Canon's part. Software: The initial software loading was a pain but I got through it. The software that comes with the printer called "My Image Garden" is just another picture sorter. Instead of a menu it has unlabeled picture buttons that you have to scroll over to find out the function. Okay this may be nitpicking, but I hate the dumbing down of software. Could they have made it look like a another open window with the functions at the top? I will have more to add when I have spent more time with it. So far I would say this is a good printer for home use. UPDATE: 4/29/2013 Having used this unit for about a week and hearing the constant complaints from my wife as to how poor the copy function is I bought the MG5420. I am using the MX452 at my office for scanning documents and occasional copying. I can see why my wife did not like the copy function. To copy a page the user has to press three different button just to make one copy. The ability to lighten or darken the page is also more difficult than it has to be. The HP AIO that this unit was to replace had one button color or B&W copying when we purchased it 5 years ago. Another problem is that the LCD display on the MX452 has no backlight. This makes it hard to read in anything other than direct lighting. The HP AIO had a color LCD 5 years ago. I am not sure why the setup was such a problem on my desktop, maybe because it was a HP, but the wireless setup at work went smoothly. The printer was able to find the network without any problems and identified the network ID and connected the first time. The installation of the software as well as the wireless connections to my laptop went perfectly. I can only say that my 4 year old Toshiba laptop is better made than the HP desktop. Having tested the wireless scanning and printing I am happy to use this printer. Although as everyone else has pointed out, the ink levels are already showing that the black cartridge is half full after only a dozen copies and prints. I set up the printer to use plain paper using grey scale. The one difference between the MX452 and the MG5420 is that the MX452 is always on. There is no auto-shut off as has been discussed about the MG5420. In summary I can say that if you need a basic printer that is to used primarily as a B&W scanner and for limited copying and printing than this is a good unit for the price I paid. $69 at Fry's Electronics.

Great printer,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
Although I have only had this for less than 24 hours, I want to say this is a great printer, copier, scanner. Set up was so simple compared to others I have dealt with. The wireless connection so very easy and set up right away. So far no complaints and I highly recommend this product. The only thing I would change is the panel does not light up so it is hard to see if you do not have adequate lighting but most things, ie scanning can be done right from your computer. I will not be using the fax option so I cannot comment on this. I had previously owned a Dell All In One Printer and it was very complicated and just did not do the job. Want to make a further statement after a week of use, I LOVE THIS MACHINE. Great for home use and it does everything you want it too. I again, recommend this printer without question.

You'll spend a fortune on ink,
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
The printer is an ink hog. I bought it about 6 months ago and have had to replace ink at least once a month. We don't really even print that much, but the printer FORCES you to replace ink even when it isn't needed. If one ink cartridge needs replacing, you can't print. Even if you just want to print some greyscale text (no color needed or wanted) you cannot print if the color cartridge is low. Not empty. Low. You can tell it you want to print in greyscale all you want, and it'll still tell you to check the ink until you put in a new color cartridge. Let me emphasize that the color cartridge doesn't even need to be empty for the insanity to begin. Just low. If Canon thinks you should replace a color cartridge after printing color a few times, you'd better do it, or you can't use your printer. I wish I could give them the benefit of the doubt and say that maybe it was just bad printer design that renders it useless when only one cartridge is low on ink, but its more likely a ploy to get consumers to buy more overpriced ink.

The worst printer we've ever purchased,
By Carol Paszkiewicz (Ypsilanti, MI United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
Given that this was a Canon brand product I expected it to be a reliable, easy to use piece of equipment. It's been quite the contrary. It's less than a year old, we cannot get it to function as a wireless printer on a consistent basis, the printer heads come out of alignment very easily and the print quality is fair at best. It frequently jams when feeding paper and while printing. Do not buy this product.

Going to return this one. Runs out of ink in no time.,
Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Canon PIXMA MX452 Wireless Inkjet Office All-In-One (Office Product)
I received this printer last Monday. Brand new printer, brand new ink cartridges. After I printed 106 pages--all but two in grayscale, all in standard print quality mode--it ran out of black ink. Canon's web site offers black cartridges for $18.99. At that price (yes, I can get it for slightly less at Amazon, but I'm basing the per-page cost on Canon's own quoted price), if this is as good as it gets, I'll be paying $0.18/page just for the black ink, not counting whatever color ink is used up even in printing black (apparently that's how it works and why you can't print in just black if the color cartridge needs to be replaced), paper, or wear and tear on the machine. I get that the ink is where the manufacturers make their money, but that's outrageously expensive. I would expect the per-page cost to be less than half that.
My guess is that the cleaning cycle that seems to happen after EVERY print job (even if it's just one page) and every time you turn the printer on (if you're misguided enough to ever turn it off) sucked up a lot of the ink. Or is all that noise and activity after a print job some other mysterious thing and not a cleaning cycle? I can't find any information about that, and I cannot find any way to turn the cleaning cycle off and just do it manually. Before I spend a fortune on ink and while I'm still in the return window, this sucker is going back to Amazon. I spent a week researching printers to replace my Epson that broke, and I thought this Canon looked good from specs and reviews. Looks like it's back to square one. Too bad, because its features are more sensibly designed than my old Epson WorkForce 600 and I had no trouble getting the computers on my network to recognize it and print from it. |

To the Editor:
On Aug. 21, Ken Good wrote a letter to the editor and complained how the California Highway Patrol is wasting tax payer money by guarding the bypass south of Willits. If not for the idiots who are trying to ruin the equipment that is used to make sure the bypass is completed, the CHP would not have to be there. These same idiots climb into the trees surrounding the area to try and stop the work on the bypass, and the CHP have to use their special operations task force to remove them from the trees so Caltrans can continue with the work needed to complete the job.
I don't believe "Security Guards" have the equipment or manpower the CHP has to deal with this problem. The bottom line is, the idiots who are trying to the stop the bypass are costing the state of California mega bucks.
The CHP are paid a salary similar to that of other law enforcement agencies in California. The CHP is paid from the vehicle registration fund. The CHP officers on average work until they are 50-55 years old and after they have dedicated 20-25 years of their life to making sure they keep our citizens safe on our highways and byways. The CHP officer, as well as other law enforcement officers, risk their lives everyday fighting criminal activity. The odds of getting killed on the job is greater than most jobs, so the stress level is higher for law enforcement officers.
I spent two years as a United States Army military policeman from 1968 to 1970, and 35 years as a CHP officer from 1972 to 2007. When I read a letter from a person who is complaining about how much money a law enforcement officer gets while working or in retirement, I get irked. Ken Good is a whiner who has nothing better to do with his time and has no idea what he is talking about.

Word from Jeannot Painchaud
At Cirque Éloize, we have always nurtured our shows through encounters with creators from different horizons. We have also always favored a multidisciplinary artistic approach, which is enriched with artists of several nationalities.
This new creation is no exception.
Fourteen artists on stage, thirteen circus disciplines, and the discovery of a world which is new to us, that of urban dances such as breakdance and hip-hop.
I imagined this show at the heart of a futuristic city, where the omnipresence of image causes us to lose our reference points. I sought to create an aesthetic at the crossroads of comic books, science-fiction movies and the rich universe of graffiti.
The decidedly rock, electronic and poetic music, coupled with the presence of video, highlight the show's playful, energetic, youthful and urban aspects.
In the middle of this surreal megalopolis exists a public place. A public place, as a spot where one can seek refuge and escape anonymity, to express one's individuality and affirm one's identity, in order to reclaim possession of public space, and to dance the city…
An area for encounters, a site of passage, a hood where clans confront one another, where friendships are woven. Where love is created, and dissolved.
I invite you to join us on this new adventure.

Zeder Investments: Value a share climbs at least 22%
Comment on this storyZeder Investments expected its sum-of-the-parts value a share as of the end of February to be between R4.90 and R5.05, or 22.8 percent to 26.6 percent higher than a year earlier. The investment company said recurring headline earnings a share for the year to February would be between 29c and 30c, or between 12.8 percent and 16.7 percent higher than the previous year. Headline earnings a share would be between 25c and 26c, a growth of 24.4 percent to 29.4 percent. The increase in recurring headlines earnings a share was mainly due to improved contributions from Agri Voedsel, Capespan, Zaad, Kaap Agri and Chayton. Zeder shares closed 3.61 percent higher at R4.30 yesterday. – Nompumelelo Magwaza
