Technology advances rapidly, so the capabilities of new machines may not be as familiar to you as your existing machine. This guide is intended to give you some pointers to help in your decision. 1 WHEN TO CHANGE The Finance and Lease Association recommends the maximum period a copier should be kept is 5 years. It is possible to keep them on for longer, but consider the cost, reliability, whether support and spares will continue to be available and whether it continues to meet all your needs. 1.1 Cost Considerations What is the current operating cost? (copy charge and lease/rental) Is it cheaper to keep you old machine going or invest in a new one? Is there any charge or outstanding finance to be paid if you terminate your old contract early? If a new machine is more expensive are the extra features or benefits worth it? Would a new machine be more flexible (networked as a printer, fax, scanner) and save costs elsewhere? 1.2 Reliability What is the age of the current machine - if approaching 5 years will the copy charge cost increase? Is it starting to become unreliable and need for constant calls by an engineer? How many copies has it done? The greater the copy volume, the more the parts are likely to have worn. 1.3 Technology Digital copiers can also act as multi-function devices that scan, print, copy and fax. Consider installing a networked photocopier that doubles as a printer together with advantages including finishing and stapling units and double sided printing. Consider whether operational costs are cheaper for a networked photocopier/printer rather than a traditional printer? Version 1 Page 1 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 2 FEATURES 2.1 Benefits of Digital Machines The main benefit, apart from the ability to connect to a network, is the "scan once/print many" operation. A digital copier scans in originals and stores the digitised image in memory. It then reproduces copies, one set at a time. The copied sets are stacked, set- by-set, in the finishing (sorting) unit. This allows long, non-stop runs of multi-page sets to be made, as there is no limit on bin capacity. Once scanned, originals are no longer required. From the stored image, a digital copier can reproduce any number of sets and collate them electronically. This removes the need for a sorter as the copied sets are deposited, one set at a time, in the output tray. Where multiple sets are required, a digital copier generally uses an offset stacking technique to separate the collated documents that can also be stapled automatically as they emerge from the machine. Some other benefits of digital copiers are the ability to electronically send originals over a network results in copies (prints) being first generation outputs rather than second generation scanned images; a reduced level of noise because once originals have been scanned the copying/printing phase is generally quieter. 2.2 Multi-Function Devices Multi-function devices can act as copiers, printers, scanners and fax machines. Advantages The main advantage is that it is able to replace a copier, fax, scanner and printer. This may be of benefit where space is an issue. A second benefit is obviously cost. Rolling all functions into one machine has the potential to lower capital cost. In addition, the copy charge rate and overall operating cost of a multi-function device compared to operating costs for printers and fax machines, may represent a considerable saving. Multi-function devices are best suited for small office environments where there are a relatively small number of users and there is less chance of conflict in the operating mode at any particular time. Disadvantages One drawback is the conflict of uses, particularly if installed in a large office with a large number of users. If the device is used as a printer and copier then, use as a copier can be delayed if producing a large print run. Similarly, if you want to send a fax, you might be frustrated if it is being used as a copier. Modern fax machines are relatively cheap and it may be an advantage to have a stand-alone fax in a large office environment. This can also minimise the risk of losing important incoming documents if the device is out of service because of a paper jam or other problem. Whereas you can re-send a print job, you might not know if an incoming fax has been lost. Multi-function devices also come with scanning features but desktop scanners are relatively cheap devices and a stand- alone unit might be worthwhile. Irrespective, to be fully useful, scanners should come with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software in order to convert graphics to text. Not all multi-function devices come with OCR software and may have to be purchased separately. 2.3 Copier Features Selecting the most appropriate features is one of the more difficult tasks and the final choice may be a subjective personal preference. If you don't initially order a feature, it is usually possible to add it later if needed. Consider such requirements / features as; Hole Punching: Some copiers do automatic hole punching that can save a lot of time. Version 1 Page 2 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES Scanning Facility: Not all copiers can scan to a file but is it a feature you really will use very often? If it comes with the machine of your choice, then fine, but if not it might be more economical to buy a low priced desktop scanner. Reduction/Enlargement: What range of reduction/enlargement can it handle? Does it meet your needs of at least copying your largest originals down to A4? Platen/Document Feeder Capacity and Size: Can the copier handle your largest original document? What is the capacity of the document feeder - can it handle the original documents that you typically copy? PIN Access and Secure Printing: Some machines have PIN number access that provide control over access and give basic data on usage for cost recovery purposes. Networked digital copiers usually have a "secure print" option that allows confidential files to be sent to the copier but not printed until the sender releases this with a code at the copier. 2.4 Output Features - Finishing or Automatic Stapling A finisher collates output copies by offset stacking the sets. This is sometimes called "electronic sorting or stacking" where alternate sets are separated by laterally shifting them by about 1 centimetre in the output tray. If the sets are to be stapled then the finisher does this as each set exits the finisher and eliminates the need for separating sets by offsetting. Further, most finishers offer a range of stapling options and positions, including centre "saddle stitching" for centre folded booklets. Some finishers offer the option of multiple output bins which are used to separate jobs that may have been printed across a network from different users. Network software usually permits selection if the output bin, if multiple bins are available. More sophisticated finishers allow insertion of pre-printed, cardboard covers. These covers can be relatively thick, as they do not pass through the copier's fusing rollers. Such features therefore facilitate the production of high quality publications that may have previously been sent out to a commercial printer. Selecting the most appropriate output device will come down to a few questions - First determine if a finisher is needed at all. Most digital machines have finishers as an option and can effectively separate/collate copies by using electronic stacking as they leave the output unit. If this is sufficient it can save money. If you require the output features of a finisher unit it is also worth adding the stapling unit as this can save a great deal of time for minimal extra cost. If considering a more sophisticated finishing unit that delivers saddle stitching, multiple output bins etc. you need to know that these features will be regularly used. The extra cost should be weighed against the option of sending the occasional "publishing" type job out to a professional printer or print services unit. 2.5 Connecting to a Network Most digital copiers have the ability to be connected, via an interface card or unit, to a network. It is beyond the scope of this guide (and most users) to cover all technical aspects of network connectivity so it is essential that you seek IT if considering a networked device. When selecting a digital copier you may not initially consider, or want to go to the expense of, interfacing it to a network. However, it a good policy to ensure there is an option to add this later. Version 1 Page 3 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 3 MACHINE SIZE AND SPEED 3.1 Calculating Your Monthly Copy Volume When endeavouring to select the "right" sized machine for your organisation it is helpful to know the current monthly copy volume of copies done on your present copier. This can best be acquired by reviewing your copy records for the past 12 months and working out a monthly average. If you do not keep regular records then this information may be obtained by reviewing recent invoices. These invoices generally cover a copy charge and therefore indicate the number of copies done in the billing period. You will probably need to average these over a 6 or 12 month period to get a reasonably accurate monthly figure. 3.2 Recommended Copy Volumes Faster may not mean more heavy-duty. There is often a misleading notion that the "faster the machine the stronger the machine" portraying that the faster machines can handle a bigger monthly volume. Whereas, this is generally true, some manufacturers produce exactly the same machine for their mid-volume range (e.g. 30-35 cpm) as they do for there higher volume range (e.g 40-45 cpm). They just speed up the machine to match the perceived need of the market. Conversely, some mid-range copiers are slowed down versions of the higher speed models and therefore can represent a very robust option and a good buy. One final factor worthy of consideration when choosing a machine speed is that copier engineers often report that machines which are run more heavily tend to be more reliable and average more copies between service. In other words, it might be good practice to keep a good mid-volume copier running at close to its optimum volume rather than nursing a more expensive and faster machine. 3.3 Speed Issues Whereas your current monthly volume is the best indicator to the size of machine required, there are some good reasons why you may wish to consider a slower copier than your present machine. Despite the advantages offered by digital machines that can be set up as networked printers, there has been a general shift in work from copiers to printers as staff tend to run off multiple copies of documents on their "local" printer resulting in lower photocopying numbers. Consequently, a slightly lower capacity machine may suit your future needs. (Conversely, if you are contemplating setting up a networked copier, in order to drive a change away from the more costly outputting to a printer, then you may have to estimate a potential increase in copier volume). The growing access to the Internet as a delivery medium in lieu of printed page has generally had an effect on lowering photocopier volumes over the past few years. This trend is certain to continue. The increased productivity of today's copiers compared to their predecessors. The "scan once - print many" feature of a digital copier results in effectively greater throughput and productivity on long runs. Further enhancements have reduced or eliminated the loss of speed when doing double sided copying. Larger paper bins, automatic stapling and endless stacking have also contributed to greater productivity. This increase in productivity could mean that a slightly slower machine than your current machine may well meet your future needs. Features that were only once available in the high volume copier range are now readily available in the lower end machines. As a consequence, you do not have to unnecessarily oversize in order to deliver the required functionality. Version 1 Page 4 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES With the above factors in mind, you could consider a reduction of about 5 to 10 copies per minute in copier speed. The savings may be attractive. Selecting the Right Speed Machine The following table has been compiled from generalised data and may not strictly apply to your circumstance, but it does give a reasonable indication of a machine's capacity given a regular usage pattern. If you have peaks and troughs in your usage (i.e. 25,000 copies per month of which 20,000 is run in that last week) then you will probably want to ensure the machine can cope with the heavy load in the last week and go up a notch in speed. Copier Average Monthly Recommended Comments Range Volume Speed Range (ppm) (copies/month) Low less than 8,000 up to 20 ppm Very low speed copiers/multifunction devices are only suitable as desktop machines doing a few hundred copies per month Mid 8,000 - 10,000 20 - 25 ppm Most copiers in this range come with advanced options such as document feeders, sorters, finishers etc. Mid 10,000 - 20,000 25 - 35 ppm Consider 40 ppm if speed is a priority Mid 20,000 - 30,000 35 - 45 ppm Some suppliers promote a 50 -60 ppm machine for this range but this isn't really necessary Mid 45 - 49 ppm Upper mid-volume territory. Consider 50-60 ppm if speed is a priority High 30,000 - 40,000 50 - 60 ppm If on a tight budget or speed is not a priority, then consider a 45 - 49 ppm High 40,000 - 75,000 50 - 90 ppm The 50-60 ppm can go higher than 40,000 copies per month. However, speed will be the determining factor. High 75,000 - 100,000 75 - 100 ppm This volume is in the high volume usage range. Analyse all the features carefully. 3.4 First Copy Time Most manufacturers list the time to produce the first copy in their standard specification. This is the time it takes for the first copy to appear in the output tray or sorter. First copy time can vary markedly between machines. When comparing seemingly equivalent machines from a number of manufacturers the first copy speed may be a differentiating factor that should be considered. Users will become frustrated if it takes too long to just copy a single page. 3.5 Warm-Up Time Although it should not be weighted too highly when comparing specifications of copiers, it may be useful to consider the warm-up times listed by the manufacturer. This is the time it takes for the machine being in a ready state to produce a copy after first turning on the power. There are differences between makes and models. Most machines have some form of energy saving mode that automatically shuts down the copier if left idle for a set period, which will save on your energy bills. The warm-up time from this mode may also be of importance. Version 1 Page 5 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 3.6 Paper Capacity Most modern copiers have a number of paper feed trays to accommodate different sized paper (say A4 and A3) or to deliver various colour sheets. Further, most copiers now tend to have at least one large capacity bin, that takes upwards of 1000 to 5000 sheets, and an A4R tray to cover reduction of A3 originals to A4 copies. There is no definitive formula for determining the optimum paper capacity of a copier. However, to determine the capacity of the largest paper tray or bin (i.e. the one that delivers paper for the most common copying task - usually A4 size) then it is reasonable to apply the following rule of thumb. (NB. this estimate assumes single sided copying) 1. From the average monthly volume, determine the typical daily volume by dividing the monthly total by 20 (assumes average of 20 working days per month). 2. Assuming that there will be peaks and troughs in demand, and that you will not want to have someone check and refill the copier more than once daily, then multiply the daily average figure by 1.5 in order to provide a reasonable buffer. 3. Round the number up to the nearest multiple of 500 pages (one ream) to a maximum of 5000 sheets. 4. The calculated figure gives you a good estimate of the minimum capacity of the main bin or tray. 5. If the machine you are contemplating does not have a large capacity feed unit to match the calculated capacity it is a fair bet that the machine is not fast / large enough for your needs. 6. Do not worry if you can not exactly match a paper feed unit with your calculation but use this as a guide to what you do require. If it within a ± 25% range then it will probably suffice - but if it is smaller you may just have to fill it more often. 7. If the calculation in 3 above exceeds 5000 sheets then you are doing some serious copying and will undoubtedly want an operator to be on hand to recharge the LCT regularly. Most copiers are limited in A4 capacity to about 5000 sheets. Examples A). Average monthly volume = 30,000 copies Capacity = (30,000/20) x 1.5 = 2,250 Round up to 2500 sheets B). Average monthly volume = 10,000 copies Capacity = (10,000/20) x 1.5 = 750 Round up to 1000 sheets Version 1 Page 6 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 4 COSTS 4.1 Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) When planning for a replacement copier it is advisable to do a few calculations that will give an indication of the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) of the machine over the planned life cycle and to translate this to an effective net cost per copy. Such calculations will enable you to: compare the cost of operating your existing copier against the anticipated cost of the new machine; will provide a means of comparing machines on offers from suppliers; give an indication as to the suitability, in economic terms, of the chosen copier for your organisation; determine the relative cost of different financing options (i.e. purchase, lease, rent or "click charge" copy plan). 4.2 Elements of the Total Cost There are two major components that contribute to the cost of owning and operating a photocopier, Capital Component + Copy Charge. Capital Component This can either be The purchase price of the copier plus options; The rental cost, spread over the full rental term; The leasing cost, spread over the lease term. Purchase It is advisable to spread this over the anticipated or planned "life cycle" of the copier. Generally this will be three to five years. A good rule is to plan for four years. Rent or Lease For leased or rented copiers, there is a financing component to be considered that involves interest rate factors and allowances for the residual value of the copier at the end of the rental/lease period. Rental options generally require you to sign up for a fixed period. For a shorter period (say 3 years) the residual value, generally expressed as a percentage of the purchase price, is higher and the total repayments over the full term may be less than the full purchase price. This is because the supplier can generally refurbish and then re-market the copier and extend their return on the asset. For longer rental terms (say 5 years) the residual is generally very low as the machine is probably close to its useful life. As a consequence, the total repayments over the term would normally exceed the purchase price when taking into account interest rates. Leasing is slightly different to rental in that the customer is generally required to pay out the residual value and assume ownership of the photocopier at the end of term. Copy Charge Component (maintenance) Most photocopier suppliers charge a copy charge rate (pence per copy) that is applied against each copy done on the machine. This usually covers the cost of toner, parts, drums and general preventative maintenance. The copy charge is generally billed separately by invoices raised against periodic meter readings. NB. The copy charge does not include the cost of paper. Version 1 Page 7 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 4.3 Copy Plan Agreements (click charge) Some photocopier suppliers offer an alternative method of financing the cost of owning and operating a copier. This is by establishing a Copy Plan Agreement (commonly called a "click charge"). The mechanism for establishing a Copy Plan Agreement is relatively simple. The supplier effectively adds the total cost of renting the capital component of the copier, over the full term, and the copy charge for to the total number of copies contracted to be run over the full term. The supplier then divides the sum of these two components by the total number of copies to arrive at a net cost per copy (click charge rate). The crucial factor in determining the click charge is the total number of copies. 4.4 What is a Reasonable Cost? The best benchmark that can be established to compare photocopier operating costs is the net cost per copy. This is the effective cost per copy when spreading the total number of copies to be run over the full term or life of a machine (i.e. capital + copy charge). The net cost per copy will depend on a number of factors including: The correct matching of copy volume to speed (size) of machine. Whether the photocopier is to be networked and includes all connectivity costs. What features are included on the copier (paper bins, stapling unit etc.). The planned life cycle of the copier (i.e. the longer you run it to amortise the capital component cost, the cheaper the net cost per copy). It is advised that you plan for a 4 or 5 year term. To a large extent, it is hard to generalise about certain makes or models being intrinsically cheaper or more expensive than other models. You have to look at each bid from the supplier and determine the true TCO yourself. Version 1 Page 8 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 5 BUY, RENT OR LEASE In terms of net cost per copy, over a typical 4 or 5 year term, the best option is generally to buy the photocopier and pay a standard copy charge to cover maintenance, toner costs and servicing. This does not take into account other factors that might be relevant to your own circumstances. It may not always be possible to raise funds necessary to purchase a machine outright and therefore a rental or lease plan provides a viable alternative. You may have a situation where you need to use a machine over a shorter period, say two years. Under this circumstance, it could be difficult to economically cover the purchase price across only two years of copies. If considering a rental or lease plan, you should still do the comparative cost to determine the net cost per copy but you should be aware of the liabilities that come with such financing schemes. There are a number of financing options that can be used to cover the acquisition of photocopiers. These are: 1. Rental agreement 2. Finance Lease 3. Operating Lease 4. Copy Plan (click charge) agreement 5.1 Rental Agreement On the day that you enter into a rental agreement the photocopier company receives a payment from a financing company covering the full cost of goods - from then on, you are dealing with a finance company. You should be aware, when you enter into a rental agreement, that: you commit to an agreement for a fixed period (typically 3 to 5 years); there may be penalties for early termination; the rental payments will be due in advance and are usually due quarterly; there is usually an additional copy charge applied to cover the cost of toner, maintenance and servicing (unless it is a "click charge" agreement); rental charges cover the capital component and are generally fixed at a set rate for the full period of the agreement - this does not apply to the copy charge component; the onus is often on the customer to inform the supplier, at the end of term, to remove the copier - otherwise they could roll-over automatically, committing you to additional rental; unlike finance lease schemes, there is no residual value placed on the copier and you cannot pay out any residual and take ownership at the end of term. 5.2 Finance Lease The principles of a finance lease are: they are similar to rental agreements except that there is a fixed residual amount factored into the financing schedule; the quarterly rates will depend on the term of lease and the residual value; the higher a residual value, the lower the rates for a fixed term. A low residual will attract higher rates but a lower payout factor; the customer is required to "buy out" the residual at the end of the lease term and assume ownership of the copier; lease charges cover the capital component only and are generally fixed at a set rate for the full period of the agreement - this does not apply to the copy charge component. Version 1 Page 9 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES Finance Lease or Rental Agreement? In determining whether to enter into a rental or lease agreement, you will need to consider whether you want the burden of owning a relatively old machine at the end of the financing term or have the option to changeover to a new machine. Rental assumes that you will changeover the machine whereas leasing passes ownership to you. Therefore, for short terms, leasing is probably better whilst for five year terms it is advisable to rent and changeover to a new machine at the end. 5.3 Operating Lease An operating lease differs from a finance lease. Although there is a residual value (%) of the purchase price that is applied to the lease, there is no requirement for the customer to purchase the goods at the end of the lease period. N.B. West Mercia Supplies offers outright purchase or operating leases over 3 or 5 years. 5.4 Copy Plan Agreements (Click Charge) An alternative method of financing the cost of owning and operating a copier is a Copy Plan Agreement (commonly called a "click charge"). The mechanism for establishing a Copy Plan Agreement is relatively simple. The supplier adds - the total cost of renting the capital component of the copier, over the full term, and the copy charge applied to the total number of copies to be run over the term. They then divide the sum of these two components by the total number of copies to arrive at a net cost per copy (click charge rate). The crucial factor in determining the click charge is the total number of copies. This requires the establishment of a reasonably accurate monthly copy volume which is often an uncertain factor. The supplier must establish the target volume in order to spread the capital component of the click charge over each copy. If you fall short of anticipated volumes then they will not recover the capital cost of the machine. As a consequence, Copy Plan agreements commit you to a required volume and, consequently, can be a trap. More importantly, some agreements lock you into a minimum monthly volume and if you don't reach the figure then you pay for them anyway, so be cautious. Of further consideration, often in copy plans the agreement permits a supplier to periodically increase the rate to cover inflation. Unfortunately, this increase is often (and incorrectly) applied to the capital component of the click charge that is generally financed separately. Basically, this unfair as the finance will be at fixed rates and should be thoroughly investigated before signing any such agreement. Warning: Always consider the purchase (or rent / lease) plus copy charge option as the most cost effective method and investigate thoroughly the alternatives before locking yourself into a click charge agreement. Copy Plan agreements can be an advantage if your plan allows additional copies each month to be effectively deducted from the total committed copies and therefore enable you to reach the target volume more quickly. However, if you do not reach the normal copy volume rate then it can have serious consequences on the overall financing of the copier. Version 1 Page 10 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 6 SERVICING 6.1 Copy Charges Whether you buy, rent or lease, including a copy plan (click charge) agreement, it is usual that part of the charge covers servicing, generally referred to as the copy charge. The copy charge is normally billed separately, usually quarterly. 6.2 What the Copy Charge Covers The copy charge covers reasonable action and components necessary to keep the copier in working order and producing good quality copies, typically including - replacement toner; replacement drum; other components subject to wear; regular, preventative maintenance servicing; breakdown servicing as required; training (as required). 6.3 What the Copy Charge Does Not Cover The copy charge does not typically cover - the cost of paper or staples; damage caused by malicious intent or rough handling 6.4 Advantages of a Copy Charge Arrangement A copy charge arrangement is the most economical servicing arrangement as it covers all standard parts and service at a fixed rate. It covers the cost of replacement toner irrespective of rate of usage dependent on the degree of "blackness" on a page. Toner usage is normally based on 6% coverage on a page but even if you use more by copying lots of black sections or photographs, the copy charge covers extra toner required because the supplier has an obligation to keep it topped up. The copy charge is usually fixed for a period enabling reasonably accurate prediction of operating cost, given regular known copy volumes. 6.5 Disadvantages of a Copy Charge Arrangement The only issue to be aware of is the right of the supplier to increase the charge during the term of agreement. For a properly sized copier, where the copy speed matches the copy, the copy charge component is typically 60% of the total cost of ownership (TCO). Any significant variation in copy charge rate can therefore significantly affect the TCO. If a supplier offers a considerably low copy charge in order to close a deal, be sure to get a written agreement as to what period the charge is fixed for and to what extent the charge can be increased after that period. It is normal within the industry for copy cost charges to be reasonably stable for a five year period. Beyond that time, as parts become worn, the cost of maintenance increases and suppliers usually increase copy charges beyond the typical guarantee period of five years. This is a strong incentive to consider ownership for a period of no more than five years. 6.6 Response Times West Mercia Supplies suppliers are contracted to provide a maximum of eight hours response time to service a copier. This means that the engineer should be on-site, servicing the machine within eight hours of you placing a request for service call. In some instances, the operator taking the call will attempt to assist you over the phone to ascertain if it is a simple problem or due to operator error. Version 1 Page 11 of 12 August 2006 GUIDE TO PURCHASING PHOTOCOPIERS AND MULTI FUNCTION DEVICES 6.7 What to do if you are not getting satisfactory service Assuming you are paying a copy charge for your photocopier's servicing it is your right and the supplier's obligation to have the machine operating satisfactorily at all times and, importantly, producing high quality copies. If you are not satisfied with the service you are getting or the quality of copies on your machine then insist that the matter be escalated to the Service Manager. If you are still not satisfied then you should inform West Mercia Supplies who will take up the matter on your behalf. Version 1 Page 12 of 12 August 2006

mystery plants
hello! I started this garden last year. I kept meticulous records on what I planted. Now I have these mystery plants that I have no clue what they are!
One of them is titled "yellow flowers' and the other 2 are the "lemon yellow" and closeup of same.
I guess one of the joys of gardening is how you never know what kind of weird surprises you'll get! I can't wait to get my handheld microscope so I can inspect these plants up close!
Seriously?! Sure about that? Do you know what it's called? If not...how do you know it's a weed? I originally thought it was a survivor from last year's "wildflower mix" which produced all kinds of weird stuff.
Do gardeners ever allow "weeds" in their gardens or is that a bad idea? I thought the lemon-yellow color of this plant was a perfect offset to all the orange-yellow coreopsis and stella d'oro daylilies. I was very glad it had invited itself into my garden to fill up some empty spaces and give me some interesting color. If it's a weed, I wonder if it will come back next year!
The lemon yellow flower is evening primrose, some think of it as a weed, some think of it as a wildflower. I let it grow here and there since it does look nice and I like the height, but it's like you said, more of a filler until something better comes in. It will die after setting seed, it will set a ton of seed btw.....
Thanks for your info, Kato! I don't know where it came from unless it was in the 'wildflower mix' I planted in april 2011. And it waited a year to come up!
So, about 'setting seed"...that happens after the flower drops off? So if I pull off the flowers, will it live longer?
Will it come up next year? I thought I saw it being described as a biennial somewhere. So after 2 years, it's history?
When the blooms droop and fall off, the little stub that remains will become the seed pod. Picking these off might make it bloom a little longer but I never tried it.
It probably did come in your wildflower mix, or the seeds just blew in. Last summer it would have made a leafy clump, this year it produced a bloom stalk and is in the process of blooming itself to death :(
But there will be kids I'm sure!

Rugelach with a twist
Cleaning out the fridge and came across an extra wheel of rugelach dough (which inspired the fridge cleanup cause I KNEW I had put 6 in yesterday but could only find 5 this morning) and cranberry jezebel sauce from Thanksgiving (HOT! with fresh horseradish)
So what did I do....
Made Cranberry Jezebel and toasted pecan Rugelach and can I just say YUMMMMMM!..........
The dough was Maida Heatter's which I made up twice to get the 6 rounds. I baked off the others with Apricot preserves, cinnamon sugar and golden raisins.
I also used white sugar crystals on the top.
Maida Heatter's Rugelach (Walnut Horns)
1/2 pound unsalted butter at room temperature
1/2 pound cream cheese at room temperature
1/2 teaspoon salt, optional
2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
1/2 cup, plus 2 tablespoons, granulated sugar
3 teaspoons cinnamon
3 tablespoons melted butter
3/4 cup currants or raisins
1 1/4 cups walnuts, finely chopped
1 egg yolk
1 teaspoon water
Prepare the pastry the night before you are ready to cook.
To make the pastry, put the butter, cream cheese and salt into the large bowl of an electric mixer. Beat on medium, then high speed, until the mixture is creamy and smooth. Then beat on low speed while gradually adding the flour. If the dough starts to overly coat the beaters, scrape the dough off the beaters and continue adding flour, stirring it in with the hands until thoroughly and evenly blended. The dough will be extremely sticky.
Scrape the dough off the hands and fingers. Rinse, wash and dry the hands. Turn the dough out onto a well-floured board. Flour the hands and gather the dough into a short sausage shape. Cut this into three pieces of equal size. Flatten each piece slightly and wrap each piece in clear plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
When ready to cook, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with aluminum foil and set aside.
Combine the sugar and cinnamon for the filling and set aside.
Place one ball of dough on a floured pastry cloth. Hammer the dough firmly to soften it slightly. Do not let it become warm. Quickly roll out the dough, turning it occasionally, with a floured rolling pin into a circle about 12 inches in diameter. Don't worry about a slighly uneven edge.
Using a pastry brush, brush the dough with a tablespoon of the melted butter. Sprinkle the dough all over with one-third of the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Sprinkle with one-third of the currants or raisins and one-third of the walnuts. Roll the rolling pin lightly over the top to press the filling slightly into the dough.
Using a long, sharp knife, cut the circle into 12 pie-shaped wedges. Roll each wedge jellyroll fashion, rolling from the outside toward the point. Do not be dismayed if some of the filling falls out. Place each roll, point side down, about one inch apart on one foil-covered cookie sheet. Repeat with a second ball of dough and then a third, filling and rolling each as indicated.
For the glaze, beat the egg yolk with the water. Brush the top of each walnut horn lightly and evenly with the mixture.
Place each sheet on a rack in the oven and bake for 30 minutes. Preferably at mid-point during the baking, you should reverse the sheets top to bottom and front to back, to insure even browning. When the horns are cooked, remove them with a metal spatula and transfer them to racks to cool.
YIELD: 36 cookies
Annie, They were inhaled and loved. One friend even called it a savory cookie.
I love rugelach because you can literally fill them with anything.
Another favorite is apricot preserves, cinnamon sugar and raisins and the kid likes blackberry jam and choc chips.

price wise on a 5 min. chart this afternoon--only today it began right at 12 Noon est. Hugging $17 like a magnet. We may get a slight dip at the end of the day.
IBD is Investors Business Daily. Kinda like a better wall street journal.
What is IBD?
That was my post and I'm glad it helped. I liked the human aspect to it.
Many thanks for the links to IBD summaries. Post 8258 was very compelling info. Off i go to buy IBD. Wonder if the library has it??
I've got Candle Stick Charting Explained by
Gregory Morris somewhere around here.
Go to
Amazon.com and pull a page for the above book and you'll get
other related titles.
In a pinch I can
But like anything else it's just a tool, like

Will look at QDEL. Thanks.
good morning.
"(I've seen chart patterns,
triangles, for example, where the baelines and slopes are
technically violated but the overall pattern holds. Same with
fibs. It's a sloppy world out there.)" Ain't that the
I will lay off this triangle discussion as I have
never used the formations in such short term [2-day]
situations. Maybe I will develop a taste for it later, but I
am not a day trader and use other indicators to try
and pick sell points.
I'm with the hold to 100
and beyond crowd and I got me a POSITION in this
stock starting at 2 and up.
Another nice medical
sector play is QDEL. Take a look at the chart, very
strong, 24/7 plant operation, great test kit product
line, looking for 30 in Dec., now at 10+. In since 5�
and added at 8. QDELW, a little high now, gives you
nice leverage.
BTW, what is a good
reference for understanding candle stick charting?
O.K. Thanks I'll take a look.
For the moment ignore the 22 3/4 high.
you pull that 60 min. candle stick chart again, look
at the first big red candle (3/8 at open)from just
below 22 which extends down to 16 1/4 then look at the
red candle (3/9 at open) that extends from about 18
1/4 down to 16. (I was the highs and lows for each
day on large red candles that caught my eye in the
first place.)
Connect those two tops and
It fits the definition of:
1) The second high
point in the triangle has to be made AFTER you have
found the bottom resistance.
2) After making the
second high point, you come back down to the SAME
baseline as on the first test.
16-16 1/4 is close
enough to the SAME baseline for me--chart patterns
rarely work out perfectly (intra-day and short-term even
more so,) but often good for timing entry and exit
points. Certainly better than a wild guess. I was able to
pick up some shares cheap near close on 3/9--again
thank God for the IBD news.
I think what this
tells us, if nothing else, is that we have some support
in the low 16s that could hold in a larger down
draft from higher levels.
(I've seen chart
patterns, triangles, for example, where the baelines and
slopes are technically violated but the overall pattern
holds. Same with fibs. It's a sloppy world out there.)
Do you want to send your kids to camp or put them
all the way through college? If you want to send them

SCLN would be the last stock I
would sell now. It has way more upside than Intel. It's
not even a contest!
My conservative 1 year

Uomini by O Boticário
I just received this as a gift and I really like it. The opening is a tad strong for me - very citrusy, but that didn't last long, the dry down is wonderful. This is a wonderfully refreshing scent. It reminds me of a sunny summer afternoon in a lemon grove.
24th February, 2013
Spicebomb by Viktor & Rolf
I just bought this over the weekend after having samples for a few months. I really like this scent. The initial notes are spicy and peppery and it warms down to a simple vetiver and leather.
19th December, 2012
Unbreakable Joy by Khloé and Lamar
I usually am turned off by the thought of celebrity fragrances and most of them smell pretty awful, however I was intrigued by the initial talk of this being a holiday scent so I bought it online to give it a whirl. My first impression of this scent is "simple" and then "happy".
17th November, 2012
Old Spice by Procter & Gamble
Such a classic scent I have the reformulation and it doesn't seem that much different than the older version. There is this initial blast of cleanliness like an old time barber shop shaving lotion, then resolved down to a very warm spicy little number. It lasts a long long time.
24th October, 2012
Royal English Leather by Creed
This is the smell of success, of victory, of accomplishment, of confidence. It is a strong scent, but not in an overtly sexual way. The picture it brings to mind is that of a man surveying his world and knowing that he is the master of not only what he sees but of himself.
16th October, 2012
Black by Kenneth Cole
The first time I smelled this in the mall, I was not impressed. It just felt very "meh". I got a deal on a bottle and wore it today for the firs time and have changed my mind. It started out kind of floral and minty, too much for my taste, but that didn't last too long it settled into the middle tones and base tones (mostly the incense smoke and the suede). It lasted for a long long time and I really enjoyed wearing this. I think I would reserve this for cold or cool weather, but overall I would recommend this as a good middle of the road scent.
12th October, 2012
Pink Sugar by Aquolina
I smelled this today at Sephora and it was horrible. too sweet, too strong, and too loud. If perfumes paint a picture, this painted a picture of a cheap stripper eating cotton candy.
06th October, 2012
Givenchy Play Intense by Givenchy
I hadn't worn this scent in a while but this summer I put it back into my daily mix. I love the initial intensity and the dry down into labdanum is really enjoyable. I know some people hate the bottle, but I actually like it quite a bit. It feels "cool" to hold. I will purchase this again when it runs out. Longevity - good, projection - good.
30th August, 2012
Eau Sauvage Fraîcheur Cuir by Christian Dior
Initial impression: It is a very strange combination of citris and leather. Initially it seemed weak (hence the extra chest spray) but then it became very strong and the leather and Cedar came out clearly. It is now 7 hours later, and I had an active day in a hot room, and the fragrance is still present. It is now much more subtle and more citrusy.
26th August, 2012 (Last Edited: 13th September, 2012)
Nautica Blue by Nautica
I got this for under $10.00 on Amazon and I have enjoyed it this summer. It is light, very citrusy and floral. It is a good "workhorse scent" for the hottest days of the year. I wear it on hot summer days when I have had enough acqua di gio. I really enjoyed it later in the evening after a work out and a shower, it was very refreshing. Well worth $10.00, but I wouldn't spend more than $20.00
26th August, 2012
Coffee Man Seduction by O Boticário
A female friend of mine with ties to Brazil bought me a bottle of this for Christmas last year. The Bergamot and the Nutmeg are very strong in the top and as it fades down the Vanilla and Coffee become more dominant. I do not smell the Lily of the Valley at all, but the other mid tones are there.

Moonflowers not surviving
Last year, I transplanted moonflower seedlings to a place by my back porch where they'd have a nice trellis to climb.
They limped along and then eventually died.
This year I transplanted healthy young plants to a spot in front next to a wall and a fence where they'd have something to climb and they'd get morning light.
They did slightly better. One even developed a flower, although I never saw it bloom. Then they dried up and died.
What am I doing wrong? Do they just not like the hot, dry Colorado weather? I've heard that the scent is fantastic, and I'd like to be able to grow these.
Mine have survived this Tennessee drought we've got going on down here with only being watered every 3-5 days and they're trained against a tree as their trellis for this year.
They're actually doing a lot better than I thought they would because the area is bright shade until about 3:00PM and then they get full sun for three hours and then back to bright shade until sunset a couple hours later.
What about your other conditions, drainage, nutrients, watering, etc.? How much heat emanates off that wall during the day, is it possible that's "baking" them until they finally wither and die off?
I have moon vines growing and blooming everywhere but the ones in full sun are doing the best. I had 8 blooms on this vine tonight and it is loaded with buds. I have found that they do not transplant well. I start mine in 4" pots and plant when they get about 6" tall. I also am growing some purples this year so I am hopeful for seeds from these. I do not think that heat bothers them as long as they get enough water. I live in Louisiana and we have very hot temps and high humidity and they still grow to amazing sizes here.

Center for Healthcare Policy and Research Seminar Series
One of the fundamental aims of the Center is to enhance the intellectual environment for health services research at UC Davis and to help faculty and trainees develop the skills to conduct first-class health services research projects. As an expression of the Center's commitment to the professional growth of its faculty members, the noontime seminar series was initiated.
Convened under the leadership of Stephen Henry, MD, the Seminar Series is held weekly during the academic year, with a hiatus during the months of July and August. The location varies. Seminars are open to all Center members and other interested individuals. Continuing Medical Education credit is available to practicing physicians for most sessions, and students can take the course EPI 291 to earn 1 unit of course credit for each quarter of regular attendance.
