text: State environmental regulators have approved a cleanup method from Morgan Chase Bank, trustee for the former Browning Lumber Property, located approximately one-half mile south of Greenwood in Boone County on state Route 85.Morgan Chase has been working with the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection to address environmental conditions at the 2.4-acre site, which was formerly used to treat cut wood with a chromate copper arsenate (CCA) solution.The DEPs Office of Environmental Remediation negotiated a Voluntary Remediation Agreement (VRA) under the Voluntary Remediation and Redevelopment Act with Morgan Chase on June 9, 2009. The former Browning Lumber property was further characterized and a human health risk assessment was performed. Institutional controls were selected as the remedial option to address any associated residual risk at the site. These restrictions include prohibition of extraction of groundwater at the site for any use other than groundwater monitoring and/or remediation, no residential use, no excavation of soil or intrusive activities without an appropriate Health and Safety Plan, and an annual site inspection to confirm institutional controls remain in place, officials said.Beginning in or around 1976 and continuing until 1998, the land surrounding the property was utilized for the operation of a saw mill by Browning Lumber Co. In the 1980s, Browning Lumber added a pressurized wood treatment operation on the site. In that operation, Browning Lumber reportedly used CCA to treat and preserve cut lumber.Beginning in December 2005, response actions pursuant to the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act were performed at the property, according to officials. These included a time-critical removal action initiated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The treatment system equipment, vessels, and pad were decontaminated, officials reported. Residual CCA process material and decontamination fluids were disposed of off-site. Treatment system equipment and vessels were recycled. Approximately 727 tons of soil were excavated and disposed of off-site, officials added. Following completion of these activities, hazardous substances remained present in soils and groundwater on the property at levels greater than residential cleanup standards, officials said. Questions regarding the Voluntary Remediation and Redevelopment Act, or this application, may be directed to either: David Hight, Project Manager; WVDEP, DLR/OER, by calling (304) 926-499, Ext. 1268 or Mike Shannon AECOM Environment Four Neshaminy Interplex, Suite 300 Trevose, PA 19053, (215) 244-7147.

Madras Serving Tray 3 3
What a great item to use. We use the madras tray on the island in our kitchen. It is not used as a serving tray, we use it to store bread, bagels, rolls etc, which we use on a daily basis. Because of it's size, it is easy to see when something needs replacing. When we made the purchase my husband and I looked at several basket's, trays etc and this seemed to be the best fit. I know we made the right choice. September 18, 2010
Great Serving Tray or Hold Everything This generously sized, lightweight, inexpensive and attractive tray has many uses. I keep one under my glass coffee table in the living room to hold my papers, pens in a cup and ipod or other things I use when lounging. I serve friends with it on an ottoman. It is roomy, plates and glasses can't slide off of it, it looks good even in a formal apartment or home, it can easily be stored by lying it on its side on a shelf or in a closet. It is a great price for a tray of its size. The opening for hands to carry are comfortable and sizable. All around, this is a great tray to have a couple at home or to give as a hostess present or for any other reason. I have one that holds my plants on my terrace. And I have one to serve with, and one under my coffee table and all three cost [$]. Not bad in today's world for all that this tray does. And, it is sturdy. January 13, 2009

KERNERSVILLE - In an all too familiar fashion, Starmount dropped its opening round matchup to North Davidson Wednesday night in the 38th Annual Frank Spencer Holiday Classic.
The Rams fell behind early before seeing their second-half comeback come up short, dropping a 70-49 decision to an over-sized and over-powering Black Knight squad at East Forsyth.
"That's been the story of our season," head coach Rocky Horton explained. "First quarter, four points and then we come out and get 14 in the second. And then we get beat on transition defense. They beat us at something that we like to do against other teams.
"Tonight we looked like we ate too much for Christmas and weren't ready to come out and hustle. It didn't seem like we had our heads into it until it started to get out of control; then our guys seem to show up and play. We did have some guys who tried to lead this team, we just need everybody else to buy in and join on board with them," he added.
Starmount could not find its rhythm coming off the Christmas holiday, going scoreless for over four minutes to open the game and only scoring four total points in the first quarter.
A lanky North Davidson side jumped out to a 10-4 lead after one and never trailed as the Rams found their shooting stroke in the second period.
Powered by senior Nathan Williams' eight points, including a personal 5-0 burst in the opening minutes of the quarter, the Rams scored 14 points in the frame. But the Knights matched each score and poured in 23 points in the period to take a comfortable 33-18 advantage into the locker room.
Starmount scored 31 second-half points to stay within striking distance, but were unable to slow down hot-shooting North. The Knights scored 37 points after halftime to cruise to the 70-49 victory to advance in the Pepsi bracket of the holiday classic.
"That's how we've been, digging ourselves into a hole that we can't get out of," Horton said. "We do a good job of getting to the basket, but we just have to finish. I think tonight we actually did a better job of shooting free throws, we just didn't shoot enough of them.
"They did a good job of blocking shots when we drove to the basket. We're small and they had good size and height. I can't blame it on all youth and inexperience just because we have a bunch of freshmen and sophomores playing. We just have to be more forceful with the issue," he continued.
Freshman Kyler Gregory had his breakout game of the season, recording a team-high 10 points on the night. Luke Shore finished nine points, while Williams added eight.
"Kyler kind of came out of his shell today; it was exciting to see," Horton explained. "That's something we've been waiting on some other guys to do, but it was good for him to do it now. Hopefully that carries onto later games. If he can keep that up and be a scoring threat, that'll be great for our team.
"We knew coming into this Christmas tournament and stepping away from conference play, we wanted to give some people some minutes and an opportunity. We tell them when they go on the court, that's their opportunity," he added.
With the loss, Starmount falls into the loser bracket and will return to action tomorrow afternoon. The Rams will take on 8th-seeded Atkins at 12:45 at East Forsyth.
Horton says he will focus on transition defense and finishing shots in the second game of the Christmas tournament.
"Us getting back in defense on transition and finishing shots - that's been the story of the year for us," he said. "We need to believe in each other. We put up good fights and good runs after getting down. We just have to put together 32 minutes of that, for four quarters, every game. Hopefully, in time, that will come when these guys get more experience."
In other games around the tournament, top-seeded West Forsyth knocked off Atkins to advance. McMichael breezed past Parkland, while Forsyth Country Day topped Carver. West will take on North Davidson in the first semifinal before McMichael and Forsyth Country Day square off in semifinal No. 2.
Championship action will be played at Lawrence Joel Coliseum on the campus of Wake Forest University Friday night.

Requests for J-1 sponsorship must be initiated by an established administrative liaison from your academic department. If your department plans to request J-1 status for you, the department administrator will complete a Request for DS-2019 form. The department administrator will ask you to submit various documents required for the application, including a copy of your passport, curriculum vitae, and financial documentation if necessary. Once the Office of Global Services receives the request form and supporting documents from your department, the office will review the information and issue a DS-2019 form for you using the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) database. Your department administrator will mail the form to you so you can then apply for your J-1 visa stamp at a U.S. embassy or consulate.
The Office of Global Services requires a minimum of a three-month lead-time for all new scholars arriving from overseas. This is to allow sufficient time for the Office of Global Services to process your DS-2019 form and for you to receive it in the mail then apply for your J-1 visa at a U.S. consulate or embassy in your home country.
If you will be transferring your J-1 status to NYU from another institution, your NYU department administrator will need to include with the Request for DS-2019 copies of your current immigration documents. The Office of Global Services will then contact your current institution for your transfer of your record in SEVIS. Once your transfer date arrives, the Office of Global Services will have access to your SEVIS record and will be able to issue your DS-2019 form after you arrive at NYU. If you plan to travel before transferring to NYU, please contact the Office of Global Services immediately.
If you are currently in the United States in a different non-immigrant status and are not traveling outside the U.S. before the begin date of your J-1 appointment at NYU, it may be possible to apply for a Change of Status (COS) from within the U.S. Please contact Scholar Services for further information.
Immediate family members (defined as a spouse and/or unmarried children under 21) may apply for J-2 visas to accompany exchange visitors to the U.S. If you have dependents and would like them to join you at some point during your stay at NYU, notify your department of this when you are asked for information for your visa application.
If your dependent has no plans to work and no intention of staying longer than three months, the B-2 (tourist) visa or the Visa Waiver Program is a fine option for visiting you in the U.S.
More information for J-2 dependents can be found here.

I play therefor I am
this is the link the the article most recently from the creators of Shroud of the Avatar.
It is one thing to try and sway the avid fanbase of the various avatar games over the years into purchasing virtual (see pixy dust) space to place a house in a semi-protected area of an online community that has not happened yet. It's another to try and now tell new people that are interested that "hey....better pay now or you will not have a home since they are limited" which only adds to this pixy dust house of cards.
I am not saying that the game itself will be good or bad. Just that there are alot of people in real life spending LITERALLY THOUSANDS of DOLLARS to have a house (pixy dust) in a virtual world.
Where has common sense gone? Seriously......ugh. I am a fan of UO and played it for several years, but I will be the last to throw my hard earned money into developing any game unless they will be splitting the profit with me.
Oh they are not splitting the profit with people that have invested 3K into the game? hmm well at least you get a pixy dust house :P

If I agreed with you we'd both be wrong.
I agree, this is my main worry about this game. For me, it's very simple - if I can't own a house (without forking out $500 or more before the game is even finished), I won't play. But since the game will be "free to play" apparently, at least I'll be able to try it without giving a cent.
And mark my words - I won't be the only one pissed if he can't get a property in the game. Housing was very important in UO too, but UO had many shards, this game will only have one game world. If they don't change that, the amount of people quitting when they realize they don't have a chance in hell to get a plot of land to build their own house will be massive.
And don't get me even started about the gold farmers. The Asians will be all over this game with massive amount of farmers grabbing all the house spots and selling them back to players for huge amounts of real world cash.

What are the benefits of forking out $$$$$ for LAND in an unreleased game with minor perks?
Investment and resale for profit?
Housing Bubble online?
Unless you're speculator why bother? If you are a gamer is it so you can speculate to gain more in game? But then does that not lead to a form of pay to win?
I can see why they're selling land, to make money - but I can't see why players looking for an interesting game are buying it - unless they're speculators > players???
A house / plot of land is not needed to play the game. Its just extra fluff. You can decorate it, place trophies in it, meet with friends or craft from within your house (instead of using a public crafting station).
You are basically paying for convenience. They have said that you will be able to friend others to your house as well, for friends that couldn't afford to purchase their own.
Why have limited housing at a premium? Kind of like star citizen selling $1000 ships. They have decided to use it as a main source of crowd funding. If someone wants to pledge $10,000 for a castle, fine with me. It gets the game developed, improves the game and I can just reap the benefits of increased funding entering the game.
If housing is breaking point for you, then I can understand if you would be turned off by this avenue of crowd funding. However, housing and owning a plot is not the main source of content of the game. There are tons of MMO's that do not offer housing of any kind, just a bank or cargo hold
Each house they render costs money and time. I remember reading that in Star Citizen, some ships cost $35,000 to render. They hope to make that back with some added profit to put back into the game.
The overall main objective is to get funds into the game.
If for instance they only offered a $30 pledge tier at launch, without any higher tiers (housing etc) X 24,000 backers = about 750k. 250k short of the 1mil needed to fund the project. Hence, the game would never gone to development and we would have no new game to look forward to.
The higher tiers and housing have helped fund this game. Not everyone will be able to own a house, but this game is not an MMO about owning a house and decorating it. Its about exploring and adventuring in a new land created by Richard Garriott.
How many adventurers are just gonna sit in their house all day? Its not gonna be the main focus.
Plus, as the game progresses, more land will open up and more room for housing with it as well.

Why are you so shocked about this, guess you are new to MMO's. This has been going on for years. For example there is a MMO Entropia Universe, in which you pay real money for everything including for bullets. You can buy and sell in game real estate as well, I remember some land got sold for 350k USD.
Also nobody is forcing you to pay for houses in this new Ultima game and those who want to pay will.

Housing does not = sandbox.
Sandbox is considered an open free roaming world. Player housing is not part of the criterium.

Correction: It wasn't essential to you.
Sorry, but I'm also of the opinion that home ownership is a near-essential part of games like this.
I wouldn't mind so much about land being sold for real cash if it were just certain high-demand areas such as waterfronts, big city suburbs, etc. However with land being a finite resource and every single parcel available for RL cash, they're essentially locking people out of a chunk of content from the get-go because they're not wealthy enough IRL to pay for it. To me, this is absolutely inexcusable. I didn't contribute to this game for some pay-to-win cash grab, I contributed because I wanted a worthy successor to the Ultima series.
If this decision isn't reversed, then I will be contacting the appropriate parties to have my contribution refunded. This isn't what I signed up for, and sure as hell isn't the kind of garbage I want to support.

Good luck with that, considering Kickstarter doesn't have the money anymore and since it isn't outside of what they promised in the Kickstarter campaign (non-instanced housing and paid prestige property), Portalarium has no obligation to refund the money and performing a chargeback would hit Amazon, who will respond by disabling your account and any digital items you've purchased on it.

As much business as I've done with Amazon, I really don't think they'd be stupid enough to suspend someone who has spent a goodly sum of money through their site over the years (and a Prime membership) over a relatively small chargeback. Furthermore I don't purchase digital goods through them, so really I'd just be prevented from buying anything else through their website. Plenty of other sites out there who would love to have my business I'm sure.
Anyway, I'm hoping it doesn't come to anything quite so extreme, although I most certainly am willing to go that far if necessary.
It really would suck if I had to find another place to buy Irn-Bru from though. 'Free' shipping is nice...

Sadly you are way off, Star Citizen Ships are just ships that can be gained in game by ANYONE with in game resources. Buying the ships prior to launch allows the following...
- you can play with the ship at launch
- your investment gives you insurance that you can also buy in game as well
- everything in star citizen (EVERYTHING) can be gained by just playing the game.
So why I can see why one might "think" it's the same , it is not. Anyone can buy the 30.00 ship and get everything others will start with that paid more , you are at that point just buying the game.
All items again can be gotten in game by playing and nothing more is needed no real cash ever! You can however use a store and do so if you wish but only for cosmetic items which can also be gained by currency made in game. So the differance there is there is no "cash only" option for Star Citzen in any aspect of the game. There is "when it launches" an option again to use real life cash for cosmetics, but you never have to and if you don't it doesn't mean you can never get them unlike other games where it's cash only for certain cosmetics, SC will never have this.
I Just want to clear this up that only 2 other games I know in development are going with this "Real cash only " concept ... Power Monger and Pathfinder.

Get a clue. They can not afford 24,000 houses. They don't have the funding to support the servers or required resources. Star Citizen has 19 mil vs 2.5 for SotA..
Anyone can own a house (via in game currency), its just very rare. Just like that $1000 ship. Good luck earning that in SC. As a backer of SC, I don't have any issues with them offering 1k ships. It supports the game. Why can't people see housing in SotA the same way?
Originally posted by chaintm
I meant that it would be difficult to earn that ship in game, it will be rare just like housing. However, u can earn housing in SotA as well. I believe neither game is pay to win (as a backer for both)
If housing is such an issue for people, go play Housing Online or something. Owning property is not a majority of the content. Housing is their fundraising plan. Did they have other options? I don't know what was discussed during the creation process, but that is what they have gone for.
Housing is rare just like a $1000 ship in star citizen. I may never own a plot of land or that mega ship, but it won't stop me from playing the game. I'll just explore with my Aurora or live out of an Inn.

Completely agree with everything said here. I honestly did not know until this thread that they were only planning to open 1 shard. Housing in UO was very important to me. Was not for fluff at all. In fact certain housing plots my guild had were extremely strategic locations for an enemy guild we were fighting. (i.e. skara brae). Housing in most games since then was a joke (exclude swg and maybe 1 or 2 others). If they really open 1 shard and the land made available is simply not enough, then I will also be parting ways with it. Being a huge RG and Ultima fan, this would be really disappointing for me.
Originally posted by GungaDin
Because even if I were to make enough in-game money to purchase a plot of land in SoTA, there's no guarantee any of the people who bought it up before launch with RL funds will want to sell it for in-game money, if at all. Again, people are going to be locked out of participating in game features because of a lack of wealth IRL.
Your Star Citizen example is flawed. As far as I know, the $1000 ship isn't limited to a certain amount (correct me if I'm wrong please). Anyone who scrapes up the in-game cash can head to the dealership and buy a shiny new one. Even if the damn thing is limited in quantity, people aren't locked out of core content because they didn't plunk down a thousand bucks. People without the big fancy ship can still do trade runs, mine asteroids, participate in PvP, faction warfare, and do everything in their less expensive ship which can be done in the $1000 one, albeit certain aspects not quite as effectively.
That's my issue. Like I said before I really don't care if RG wants to sell virtual premium property on a special island or piece of land with waterfalls, deer frolicking, and all that jazz to raise money for the game. What I have a problem with is that ALL property is up for grabs to those with the $$$. I already donated what I could, I shouldn't have to pay more just so I can experience the 'full game'. It's bullshit, and feels quite a bit like extortion.
I knew I should have put that money toward a higher tier of Wasteland 2...

A 50$ pledge will most likely not be enough to own a a house. Houseowners will be the ones with better real life economy.
Excluding players from some features cause they dont have enough real life cash to spend is as i see it bad for the game and i can imagine many potential backers avoid to pledge cause they will never own a house in SOTA.

Housing was a very important aspect of the UO experience. Housing near dungeons, mines, cities etc: played an important role in the economy, pvp, and many other areas.
Not having an opportunity to own a home ( except by spending real money) is not the type of experience I was hoping for.
This game reminds me of Greedmonger a game that had a kickstarter about the same time.
Wonder how that game is progressing.
All said if it's f2p I will probably visit as a tourist and move along.

I Call bullshit, as the game will be dead quicker than a fly! Only People playing then will be the backers and that´s it!
No one is going to buy this game when it launches, to be immediately excluded from content, just because they didn´t open their wallet several years ago!
After the Whole Tabula Rasa debacle I can´t believe anyone still believing the nonsense coming out of Richard´s mouth and yet again throwing Money at him.
Well..... good Luck With that I Guess.

Personally really upset already supporting this for $200 before they decided to basically bilk us out of another $200.
With the " limited " and gone its gone announcements, this really feels like flat out extortion.
Technically they made a contract with us when we kickstarted this game, now they have changed their end of that contract.
Almost feels like fraud.
Oh and to rub salt in the wound they announce this land and house on sale.. 25% and 50% off our regular price.
Excuse me? "Off our regular price" if the sale price is the first price they have posted, then that is the regular price not some fabricated price they pulled out of their asses and never charged anyone.
Fuck you very much Garriott Im not paying for you to spit in my face again as you rocket off to Mars this time.

Just finished my latest creation, an AR45 in ?Tommy Gun? configuration.
I started off with a 10% CNC Guns AR45 lower receiver finished out by Khalan Weaponry. Single digit serial number 00x! The Upper is a VM left side charge handle 9mm receiver a[img][/img]vailable from Spike's tactical and modified by Tango Chaser tactical for an Olympic Bolt & Ejector in .45 caliber. The ?Finned Barrel? is a standard 16? Thompson barrel modified by Kurts Kustom Firearms with a Olympic style barrel extension. The fore grip & pistol grip are standard wood furniture for the Thompson, the pistol grip was heavily modified to fit the AR45 receiver. Muzzle brake is for a 9mm high point carbine; both brake and barrel were modified by Alien Arms to thread together. Alien Arms custom machined the fore grip adapter ring secured on the barrel nut. This allows the use of the stock cantilevered mount for the Thompson fore grip. The butt stock is available at Brownell?s as a retro replacement for the AR15 plastic stock. Magazines are stock 30 Rd M3 grease gun mags & sighting system is the short version of the Eotech.
Since I?ve built it, I?ve taken it to the range several times. The typical reaction is ?What is it ? followed by ?Can I shoot it & I want one!? With the 16? barrel it is extremely accurate and with minimal recoil , a pleasure to shoot. I normally shoot a 12? gong with my AR15 .223 at 65 yards, so I?m used to the time from shooting until the bullet hits the gong. With the AR45 and sub sonic round, it?s almost disturbing how much longer it takes to hit the gong , you almost feel like you could squeeze a second shot off before the first hits. 3000fps vs 900fps..
I love the retro Tommy Gun look and enjoyed building something different. My next AR45 project is going to be something like a combination of an AR45 and a DeLisle Commando Carbine.

Oct. 23, 2009 -- Researchers say injections of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccine apparently hurt less than people may think.
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill scientists, reporting in the online journal Vaccine, say anecdotal accounts and news stories have stressed the side effects of the HPV vaccine, including reports of painful injections.
The researchers say health care professionals are concerned that these reports may keep young women and others from getting the vaccine or completing the three-dose series, which is recommended.
The HPV vaccine administered during the study period was Gardasil, which protects young women from strains of the virus that cause a majority of cervical cancers and genital warts. Only about 37% of adolescent girls in the U.S. who are eligible for the shots have initiated the three-dose series.
The researchers conducted surveys in 2008 with parents of girls aged 11-20 living in areas of North Carolina with elevated cervical cancer rates who had received at least one shot of HPV vaccine.
Parents reported that pain at the time of HPV vaccination was less frequent and less severe than tetanus or meningococcal vaccines. Compared to all other vaccines received by their daughters, 69% of parents reported that HPV vaccine caused their daughters the same amount of pain or discomfort at the time of the shot. Seventeen percent reported that they experienced less pain from the HPV vaccine, and 12% reported it caused more pain.
"These findings may be important to increase HPV vaccination coverage," write the researchers, who include Paul L. Reiter, PhD, of the University of North Carolina's Gillings School of Public Health.
"Some stories about HPV vaccine side effects and pain have been downright scary," Reiter says in a news release. "However, most parents in our study reported their daughters experienced the same amount of pain or even less pain from the HPV vaccine compared to these other vaccines."
The team reports it found that parents who reported that daughters who completed the series of shots reported pain from the shots just as often as those who were late for subsequent doses.
The findings could increase the number of young women who start and finish the vaccine series by dispelling the myth that the shots are painful, says Noel T. Brewer, PhD, senior investigator of the study.
"It's important for parents and health care providers to be aware of these findings," Brewer says in the news release. "Doctors and parents can now make better informed decisions about giving adolescent girls HPV vaccine."
The main message of the study: "Getting the HPV vaccine hurts less than you think," Brewer says.
HPV Vaccine vs. Other Vaccines
The study was done by telephone interview of 229 parents in five North Carolina counties.
The study found that:
- 65% of parents reported their daughters suffered some pain or discomfort after receiving an HPV vaccine, with more reported at time of injection than in the hours and days that followed.
- Few parents said their children experienced moderate or severe pain at the time of injection or afterward.
- Parents were more likely to report their daughters suffered a higher level of pain or discomfort from tetanus booster shots and meningococcal vaccines.
- More parents reported pain at the time of tetanus shot or meningococcal vaccine than the HPV vaccine.
"While many parents in our study reported their daughters experienced pain or discomfort after receiving HPV vaccine, the reported pain was less frequent and less severe than that associated with other adolescent vaccines and did not affect completion of the HPV vaccine regimen," the researchers write.
The researchers urge health care providers to inform parents and their daughters that pain from the HPV shots has been reported as being similar to or less than the discomfort from other adolescent vaccines.
One researcher, Jennifer Smith of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, reported receiving research grants or contracts, honoraria, or consulting fees in the last four years from GlaxoSmithKline and Merck. GlaxoSmithKline makes Cervarix, a vaccine recently approved to prevent cervical cancer in girls and young women. Merck manufacturers Gardasil, recently approved to prevent genital warts in boys and men.
Brewer acknowledges receiving a research grant from Merck on men's attitudes toward HPV, but received no honoraria or consulting fees from Merck or GlaxoSmithKline.

A nuclear test explosion set off last night by North Korea was far larger—perhaps by three or four times—than the country's last known blast, say seismologists who have examined seismic waves coming from the site. The estimate suggests that the North Koreans are making steady progress toward building more forceful weapons.

In a research career spanning more than four decades, Paul Richards, a seismologist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, has helped uncover Earth's inner structure and advanced techniques for detecting nuclear explosions to ensure that bans on nuclear testing can be enforced. Richards will receive the Seismological Society of America's Harry Fielding Reid medal at its annual luncheon on Wednesday, April 21.

Seismologists, Pinpointing Location, See Little Doubt It Was Bomb
Seismologists who have intensively studied North Korea's nuclear testing efforts say Monday's blast was certainly a nuclear bomb, roughly five times larger than the country's first test in 2006.

Would you trade iPhone thinness for longer battery life? [Poll]
When it comes to the next generation iPhone, is thinner always better, or would you trade a couple of extra millimeters for longer battery life? Rumors went around last week about Apple potentially changing screen technology to something that would let them make the iPhone 5 thinner than the current iPhone 4S. There was also some talk about Android maker HTC running internal polls about thinner phones vs. longer battery life. Apple, however, made the new iPad slightly thicker last time, in part to make sure they could add a Retina display and LTE radio and still off the same battery life.
If the iPhone casing gets even slightly bigger, then the battery can spread out more and maybe the next generation iPhone can be thinner and get the same or better battery life. If the iPhone 5 keeps the same overall casing size, however, something might have to give.
If you had the choice between a thinner new iPhone with shorter battery life, a same depth iPhone with the same battery life, and a slightly thicker new iPhone with longer battery life, which would you choose?
Vote in the poll up top and give me your reasons why in the comments below!

Would you trade iPhone thinness for longer battery life? [Poll]
If it is just a little thicker than the 4S, as the New IPad is just a little thicker than the IPad 2.....I'd say yes, a little thicker, for better battery life.
There should have been a 4th poll option for:
"Hell yes! Do it now!"
I think this whole race for the thinnest device is absolute foolishness. Then, to make matters worse, the only way they're getting bigger batteries in devices is by make them larger in size... (Galaxy Note, Razr Maxxx, etc)
We can't continue this route, time to turn this car back around and head back towards bigger batteries that can last more than 8-10 hours.
I think the question is a little off as of more recent rumors. I think the option is a thinner phone or same size that allows for a bigger battery based on a liquid metal backing with thinner glass with touch being built into the LCD...
I'm sure same size bigger battery would win over all....mind u...add lte data speed and that would leave one with...same size, more&faster features, same battery life....
Rumors r fun...
Not sure why people need to have a phone that last for more than a day. If I'm running or biking I have a juice pack to give me the battery life I want. For everything else the battery life is fine. I'd much prefer a thinner device with the same battery life. I'm hoping for iPod touch thin in the next iPhone.
What i truly don't understand is how is it that technology has advanced so greatly. How is it that my iphone 4 is more powerful than all supercomputers from the year 2000 and previous ( there are tests that prove that). How is it that i have such a gorgeous display which challenges what i see in real life...
And yet batteries haven't advanced since 2000..... pure foolishness
That is so true. There was a lot of research in battery size at one time. Statements were made that a car battery will be a micro chip, but as you state, not much change in batteries for a time. The technology is there, just guess the they people do not want to use it right now for whatever reason. Makes no sense at all. "pure foolishness" is so right.
Especially in comparison with a bulk of Android phones, I think the iPhone already has exceptional battery life. I think the thickness of the phone is fine as is, but anything more than that will take away some of the sleek awesomeness...
I think a thicker iPhone 5 would feel like going from an iPod Nano to the 1st Generation iPod.
Thus, same battery, same size!!
Love the design of my 4S. No necessity requires my phone to be any slimmer than it already is. I COULD however use an extra few hours of battery life in my day. I have to use either 1)my mophie juice pack or 2) car charger during lunch every. single. day. as it stands. Most days it's fine, but if I have a day where I have an extraordinary amount of downtime at work then I am stuck doing both the car charger during lunch AND using my juicepack later in the afternoon. Rediculous if you ask me.
phone with exceptional battery life is preferred the most so i go with thicker with long battery life
I think that the companies should develop a thinner phone with extra battery life!!! Come on, I can't believe they cannot do it... If I have to chose I chose battery life, as my Iphone 4s (work) battery is riduculous compared with my samsung galaxy sII (personal). But I can't belueve apple and the rest don't come up with a good solution...
Someone shared a concern over a phone being "too thin". I concur. Long time ago I had a Sky Page pager that was nearly credit card size. I returned it because I was afraid it would snap in half in my pocket. Others commented "I carry a juice pack" or similar "extra battery". Why? If I'm hiking or biking, why would I would want an extra device to carry?
Thinner is not always better. I concure with a lot of the other posters in that the iPhone being much thinner would also be fragile. I have no problem with charging my phone at/over night. However since upgrading to the 4s I have had days with, albeit heavier than normal use, that I must charge before the day is gone. As a user of many apple products I LOVED my iPhone 4 due to my average 2 day use before charge cycle. Understanding that as the devices can do more and run faster will effect drain times I was overly pleased and completely understanding in the thicker iPad (3rd gen). I am however displeased with the 4s(I've already returned one to apple for poor battery performance). I'm sure most people would agree that there is little glory in showing off a very asthetic but DEAD iPhone. "your heading to grandmas for the weekend, oh sh** you forgot to grab your charger, oh well your new iPhone will last just fine over the weekend and you can top off Sunday night after you get home." That's the phone I want to carry.
I don't care whether it is thinner or not. The battery NEEDS to last longer than it does. Frankly, I certainly want to see I new design of iPhone, but it doesn't necessarily have to be thinner. I was somewhat disappointed when the new iPad LOOKED exactly like the old one. I want people to be able to know which one I have, without having to ask me.
This is a dumb argument. The phone as is is way to fragile for its' own good. Make it thinner, claim to have the thinnest, then we all have to go stick in an "Otter Box" just to walk out of the house. I have this great phone wrapped up in so much plastic you can hardly tell what it is. And if it is thinner next time, I will carry it the same way.

He appears to be in good health and did not appear to have any injuries, the Columbia City department said in a statement.
Stryker was discovered missing about 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon after he somehow escaped from his kennel at an officer's home in the Collins area, police said for an earlier story.
"Thrilled" that Stryker is back home, the police department thanked the Whitley County Sheriff's Department, Churubusco Police Department, Indiana State Police, Indiana conservation officers, the Churubusco Fire Department and volunteers for helping with the search.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 20 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by mariais pale blue is mint green the "pale blue" color is much more green in person. keeping them anyway because the fit is just too cute and sexy! bought my usual size 26 (5'7" 118lb) and they fit great, a little tight in the bum and thigh area. 7.8.2012
Rated 2 out of 5Â by Goldengddss Sad story! I'm a pretty true 12 right now, 5'9 and curvy. These would not even go up over my hips. Great color, twig girl fit. These will be going back. 2.14.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by changed1 toned legs beware These are true in the hips but too tight in the thighs. I am 109lbs with very muscular legs. I could get them up and buttoned but movement was not an option. The length and color were wonderful. So if you have super skinny or less toned legs these will be beautiful. 1.10.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by KingaJ if you're short, they're just pants! this is good news, though. I'm 5'3" and have trouble finding pants that aren't 32" (wayy to big for me). I bought the "fire red" ones of these, and they work well as not-ankle-crop regular pants! They sit just below my ankle. The colour is true to the pictures, though it shouldn't be called "fire red" as it's more of an orangey-pink. great colour. the fit is awesome. they are form-fitting but thick material, which hides all the unflattering parts. i'm petite with a little junk in my trunk and find these pants really flattering on me. overall, i love them. 12.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by juz8 love the yellow I got the yellow colour, and agree that they are more of a mustard. the colour is so versatile and lovely in person! they do run a little on the tight side, but they have a good thickness and stretch. I find them slightly thicker than the '24407991 COLORED ANKLE CROP' jeans which I think are too thin for tight jeans 12.11.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by junet colour discrepancy i got the pale blue but it is absolutely a light green or mint green colour!!! the colour is totally different from the discription which is misleading!!! but i still keep it as the quality is good, stretchy and fit. good for petite size people. 11.16.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Americanflower Average These jeans are just "OK". They are more of a jegging (jean+legging). I thought thet would be actual jeans. I'm 5'7 145 and purchased a 28. They run small so definitely upsize. I love the color and they are crop skinny so wearing them with a pair of boots will be a breeze. I'm satisfied. If I had brought them at the original price, I'd be sending them back. But since I got them on sale I'll keep them. 10.17.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by shay1990 very flattering and great colors! I'm 5'3 98 lbs and usually wear a 24 or 25. Got these in a 25 and they fit great! Bought in both the yellow and the red. Great colors for fall to wear with denim jackets or vests! 10.17.2012

Its deja vu all over again, again.
A couple of Berkeley Stags history making sports moments.
Never before has either the Berkeley Stags baseball and the Lady Stags softball teams repeated as region champs.
Until this year.
And never before have two Berkeley teams captured their respective region titles on the same night in back-to-back years.
Until now.
The Lady Stags no-hit Hilton Head 15-0 behind the arm of Brooklyin Stone and the Stags nearly duplicated that feat as Zach Gonzales fired a two-hitter to pace the Stags to a 10-0 region clinching win on the other side of Lake Berkeley.
We could see big things out of these teams this spring, said Lady Stags Coach Boogie Grooms. These girls are hungry.
Region 8AAA Coach of the Year Landy Cox smiled for the first time in three months following the ceremonial ice bath after his Stags pitched their third straight shutout.
These guys refuse to lose, and they wont lose at home.
Both teams will face the number four seeds out of Region 7 to include Myrtle Beach, North Myrtle Beach, Georgetown, Socastee, St. James and Wilson.
The first round of the the state tournament begins Friday, May 2 and again on Monday, May 5 at Jim Bradley Field.

CAVE RUN, Ky. – Lynn Fields won the most recent Tug Valley Bass Anglers tournament held on June 13. It was the fifth tournament of the 2013 season on Cave Run Lake.
There were 24 anglers who competed in the event. The tournament was sponsored by Trey K Electric
Cave Run Lake in Morehead Ky. was at summer pool with clear to lightly stained water on the entire lake and a water temperature around 80 degrees.
The weather for the tournament was great with mostly sunny skies, light winds and an air temperature around 85 degrees.
The fishing was good, with every angler weighing fish. The fish were caught in 5 to 10 feet of water on the main lake as well as in the pockets and creeks.
The main pattern for this tournament was to fish soft plastic baits, worms or crawdad imitations around grass. Finesse fishing with small worms accounted for most of the fish weighed in. Total fish weighed in was 76.83 lbs.
The top finishers are as follows.
1st —Lynn Fields —- (5 fish) 12.41 lbs.
2nd —Kevin Runyon —- (5 fish) 8.91 lbs.
3rd —Gary Varney—- (5 fish) 7.36 lbs.
4th —Keith Pacific —- (5 fish) 5.96 lbs.

Rated 4 out of 5Â by ElephantGirl Still love it I guess I'm in the minority with loving this cuff. Yes, it is plastic, and yes mine did show some slight fading, but I still think it is adorable and so unique. I ordered it in the blue/turquoise and the color is as pictured. The cuff was a bit big, but it can be *slightly* adjusted to fit your wrist. For the price, it adds such a statement to any outfit. I have gotten so many compliments on it and had people ask me where it's from. Overall, I have no issues with this piece. I knew what I was getting before I ordered (from reading the reviews) so I wasn't let down when it arrived. It is beautiful and gives the illusion of a stone without the price tag so I don't have to worry about how I treat it, especially over the summer. 5.9.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by meghanLoveFP China plastic !!!!!!! Tooo big. not real stone and metal turns green after few days!!! 3.21.2013
Rated 1 out of 5Â by ghappy Fake and cheap painted plastic! I bought a round stone cuff from Free People few weeks ago it was real stone but these are just cheap plastic. 3.16.2013
Rated 4 out of 5Â by CSuggs Big and Beautiful I ordered this bracelet in red and will be getting a black one soon. That being said, the red is gorgeous is person. The stone doesn't look fake or cheap--it is exactly as pictured. The cuff is very big though and you will probably need to adjust it . Be very careful when you do though because it is quite flimsy and prone to breaking. I have already popped the stone off a tiny bit from the metal base but it's nothing that can't be fixed. I highly recommend this bracelet, especially for the low price. I have gotten numerous compliments on it already! 3.15.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Janesays Great Buy! You can't beat this for the price. It's a stand out piece and I love the colors (bought red, blue, and black.). These bracelets are cheaply made, but not over-priced like so much of the other FP jewelry, so I don't mind. They are eye-catching and easy to wear. Love them! 3.11.2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by studio Painted plastic! I had the turquoise cuff, and although it is super large, it manages to be feminine. When the red became available again, I ordered it immediately, the one I got this time, had a scrape on the plastic "stone" that shows that the plastic is white and painted over. So, if you buy it, be careful with it. The red one goes back (maybe for an exchange because the turquoise one is still in good shape). I would have given it 4 stars if the plastic was colored all the way through. Not 5 because the metal sometimes catches (be careful when wearing with delicate clothing, it may pull threads). The attached photo may show how thin the layer of red paint is. The white you see is NOT light reflecting from the plastic stone but dull white plastic showing through. My camera can't do better than this. In real life it is very noticeable and ugly. 3.8.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Awwshucks "Yummmmy"...... I ordered the blue and was excited to receive it. It shipped and arrived quickly. Wrapped well and safe. Its as I hoped. 'Beautiful', well made, standout statement piece. A real eye catcher. Deep blue stone, rich ambiance, wonderful 'aesthetic' aura. Loving it! I just ordered the 'green' one... Celebrate, Celebrate, dance to the music....skirt twirl... 3.6.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Sparksss Gorgeous As soon as I saw this cuff in the store, I knew I had to have it. It's so big and gorgeous. The blue cuff goes along with everything and makes a statement. I'm thinking about getting one in green too! 2.28.2013

Don Manzullo is a man of vision, all right.
Here is the one vision that clings most closely to:
Speaking to a group of his disciples at a political rally in 1996, Congressman Manzullo revealed that he supports turning our country into "a nation of one culture, one people, one ideology, one voice" (Northwest Herald, 19 Jan 1996).
Until the cowardly press demands that Manzullo explain exactly what he means by this statement, I have no use for this coverage of his support for this trail or anything else he might be saying.
The man is either a Nazi or a nincompoop. Which is it?

United States Army Colonel Derrin E Williams, a Moncks Corner native and Berkeley High School graduate, took command of the Defense Logistics Agency-Central (DLA) during a recent ceremony at MacDill Airforce Base, FL.
The ceremony was officiated by Rear Admiral Vincent L. Griffith, U.S. Navy, DLA Director of Logistics Operations. Colonel Mark A. McCormick, U.S. Army, passed the mantle of command to Col. Williams. Among the distinguished attendees were Major General Aundre Piggee, U.S. Army, USCENTCOM Director for Logistics, Engineering and Contracting, as well as his Deputy, Scott Anderson.
Col. Williams comes to DLA as an experienced Army logistician with a strong background in CENTCOM gained through numerous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. He also brings a strategic perspective from his studies at the Industrial College of the Armed Forces.
Col. Williams is prepared to lead DLA Central into the next phase of logistics support to the CENTCOM AOR as the U.S. turns over security responsibilities to Afghan forces and prepares for the next contingency in this volatile region.
Col. Williams is the son of Christina Williams and the late Nathaniel Williams Sr. of Moncks Corner and is a 1985 graduate of Berkeley High School.
Williams earned a Bachelor of Science degree from South Carolina State University in 1989, Master of Business Administration from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2001 and a Master of Science in National Resource Strategy from the Industrial College of the Armed Forces in 2012.
Col. Williams is married to the former Denise Collins of Columbia, S.C. They have two children Kristin, age 17, and Derrin, age 14.

You are MOST WELCOME Eric, and I hope everyone reading and contributing to this thread will do the same. This is a very valuable thread for all of us, especially those of us without warranty coverage, the rank I will be joining soon unfortunately. However, I just heard from the tech at Glodyne Decision One and he told me that I should have a service call possibly by Wed next week. NOT good enough by any means, but little choice I suppose. They are going to install another new print head, the third one. Didn't mention anything about the Pump/Cap Assembly, which is the standard go-to part with them it would seem. I imagine Epson will be VERY glad to see the end of my warranty extensions.
I have recently cleaned the Wiper Blade for the first time since the last Pump/Cap Assembly was installed. It was actually surprisingly clean, but even better now of course. All of the tests I've done concerning this latest issue have been printed on 8.5x11 Prm Luster, the size I generally use for most of my testing(5-2x8" tests per sht). Now get this, the tech said the latest issue could have something to do with that paper size. I then replied that I have never seen this problem before. His reply to that was that no one uses that size paper on a 9900. I agree it is perhaps a bit of overkill to be printing an 8x10 on a 44" printer, but WTH does that have to do with anything? I ask you Eric, WHAT? I could hardly believe my ears when I heard him say that. So I suppose Epson should include that caveat in the Users Manual, the 9900 should be used only for paper sizes larger that 8.5x11. Otherwise one might expect problems. I believe the more appropriate Epson warning would be to NEVER, under any circumstances, rely on anyone at D1 to actually know WTH they're talking about. Perhaps this is stepping a bit over the line, but past experience has made me very reluctant to trust that company for any sort of reliable information or service. They will definitely NOT be getting any business from me after my warranty has expired. I will be relying on your site and my own mechanical experience to solve my problems as much as possible. Your vids are very easy to follow and I know a print head replacement is not out of the realm of possibility.
Well, I really must get moving here for now, but I will post agin soon to ask another question.
Again, I salute you for your work and imparting the knowledge you have accumulated to this community Eric. Take care!

Sorry Matt race season is upon me. The walls of time are closing in on me so I have to make this quick:
In the background I have been working on a capping station theory which compliments Lee's suggestion. Good time to mention it now I guess. I plan to modify the right side cover on this 9900. I will make it easily removable. Idea is to release the head, slide it to the side, roll the capping station manually into view, check that it's clean then spray it with a mixture of distilled water and glycerin - a humectant. This will have to be tested of course but the hope is it will help keep the head from drying.
Interesting ideas Eric and Lee. As a matter of fact I was about to ask if you might entertain the idea of putting together a video on replacing the capping station at some point, but this certainly seems very plausible as well. Reminds me of my approach to my two 7600s, one of which I still use(sold the other one a couple of years ago). After using the printers for a couple of years and removing the right end cover to gain access to the cap/pump assembly and clean the wiper, I decided one day to leave the cover off permanently. Mounted the control panel on the front metal body just to the left of where the cover would normally reside and have been working that way ever since. I keep a piece of plastic over the workings to prevent dust etc from accumulating, but this way I can remove the cap station, clean it and the wiper and reinstall within half an hour, no problem. What you are proposing sounds somewhat like an offshoot of what I've been doing, so I'm anxious to see the final results of that research as well. I'm sure that whatever you do will work very well and will benefit all of us.
Good luck at the track Eric. Keep focused on the vehicle and leave the X900 where it belongs. There's a great little book I read a while back, might interest you as well. "The Art Of Racing In The Rain", an interesting read and I'm pretty sure could identify with it in many ways.

Is there a sado masochistic relationship between Epson, its wide format printers and customers? Are printers ritually dissected? Do service men appear in black leather or vinyl to repair printers? Are fines paid to continue this torture? Not even Epson seems to mind the exposure of this relationship. No cries of disgust are heard when torn apart parts are shown in gory detail.
I read this thread less and less but I can not resist the temptation to look for a new episode from time to time. It is true, I am a voyeur and not one with compassion for victim or torturer. Being confronted for years with stories like this you can only think they must like one another for some reason.
Next time I might consider another perspective; similarities in The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha and Epson 7900 from the inside - out.

Hello Ernst,
I agree with much of what you write. To some extent tongue in cheek, but I think more a serious tone than not. I too will admit to not reading this thread daily, but I certainly do tune in on a regular basis to more or less catch up. As I mentioned in my post, I will soon be part of the great unwashed as well, those without warranty. And, having traveled down a rather rocky road, mounted atop my trusty steed Rocinante(my new name for the 9900 by the way), I will have to take the time to contemplate which windmill I will tilt toward next. Draw my rusty sword and step up to the challenge. Yes indeed, sometimes the service techs do appear clad in their leathers, wielding their tools and gnawing at the opportunity to delve once more into the heart of the Epson beast. Now of course all of this is said due to my own particular experience with
printer. Let me say upfront that this 9900 has NEVER been abused in any way. Always kept in a clean environment and handled with care. However, as we all know, there are simply some occasions when a piece of equipment seems to be possessed.
...perhaps an Epson exorcism is in order here. Maybe I could convince Eric to don his robes, bring his hammer and take his life in his hands in the Great White North. Say a few choice words over the 9900 and hope it does indeed do some magic. Oh ya, I've done that many times without success(sans robes and hammer), but definitely the 'choice' words. Oh no, I wouldn't dare approach it with hammer in hand, too tempting. Actually I'm somewhat surprised that you read this thread at all Ernst, being a HP/Canon devotee(sorry, I don't remember which). Well actually, perhaps I do understand, a gleeful glint in your eye as you peruse this thread and inwardly chuckle at the woes of us lowly Epson followers. Tongue in cheek on my part there Ernst, since I don't believe you are the sort of person to belittle the problems of others. At this point the only thing left is to make light of the situation when possible, and this is a good outlet. Thanks for the post Ernst.
And to 'enduser', the answer is YES! There, satisfied? I have indeed given that a lot of thought. However I doubt that I will be working at this for many more years, so I suppose I'll stick with Epson until it wears me out completely. Then they can stuff us both in the same box perhaps and ship us back to the manufacturer, whomever that may be. Of course there is another reason for my stubbornness. I get all of my Epson products at dealer net, so that's quite an incentive. There's also the fact that I have been using Epson printers for many years and have NEVER encountered the volume of issues that have occurred with the 9900. There are a lot of X900 users who experience none of these problems, at least not to the extent I have. As we all understand, there are simply some pieces of equipment that should come supplied with a can of Lemon coloured paint and a brush. Call it what it is, but don't speak too loudly. I'm of the impression that it also has ears.
Thanks to both for the interesting posts.

Starship 7900, Captians Log, stardate 3/2/2013 -2/3/2013
Upon executing a PK to MK maneuver and proceeding to Canvas 1620 in the Epsonian cluster, a red alert was sounded that there were missing nozzles in MK and the Cyan channel had dropped out completely
Cyan at 1% too low- too clean, so a new cart was placed in the bay by the engineering staff and charged up to do a standard C/VM pairs clean and test run,Thinking this could be an Canon/HP attack I procceded with phasers and photon torpedoes ready to do a powered clean, just to be on the safe side.
This failed to materialize the cyan channel
Shut down all non essential life support systems and rebooted.
Had the engineering staff engage another standard C/VM pair clean and test.
Cyan back on line, and all MK nozzles clear,Put the old 1%cyan back in...
Good work Scotty
A sigh of relief could be heard throughout the ship ,and we resumed course to Canvas 1620 in the Epsonian cluster, and a rendevous with Starship 9890 later in the day.
I have only experienced complete and large channel dropouts when carts are at 1%.This is a ink delivery -pressurization problem not a nozzle problem!
Doing power cleans, especially in rapid succession, is a sure way to destroy the nozzles
Never freak out and do power cleans when you get a complete channel drop out , give it a chance to come back on it's own !

Good job Captain David(AKA - James Tiberius). Indeed those red alerts can often invoke actions unsuited to the Epson Starship, but a bit of intergalactic fun is nothing to be concerned about. So in the words of Jean Luc - "Make it so!" Warp speed and onward. And of course the best of them all, Mr. Spock's words to all of us star travellers....Live long and prosper! Great words to travel by, except that I believe the Borg Collective has now taken control of the Starship 9900 and indeed, resistance IS futile. I could go on like this all night long, activity truly unbecoming an old Trekie. But why would that concern me at this stage? Only Kirk would know the answer to that, and he seems to have left the building.
Good advice and indeed, Live long and prosper, all Trekies!

Does anywone know of software that will make a 7900/9900 print separate color bars for each of the 10 inks for test and purge? MIS had a program for the 2400, but doesn't seem to have one for the 7900.

Hi Everyone
I am new and came across this forum because I have the 7900 woes.
I bought one used and am not able to get past an error in the boot up phase.
If anyone can shed some light on my problem I would appreciate it.
Here's what happens:
If I insert the ink cartridges in, up to 10, the machine will recognize them and accurately show their ink amount and the one empty bay saying:
"No cartridge Install ink cartridge"
As soon as I push that last one in, the printer does its little boot up procedure and them announces:
"Ink cartridge error Replace ink cartridge" and flashes ALL compartments as empty with the red circle and white cross; not one cart is seen.
It does not matter which cartridge is left as the last one to be inserted. They all register accurately until that last one is pushed in.
I believe that the machine is satisfied they are all present and filled enough and moves on to its next boot up item and flashes this error.
It is so fast but I imagine I can see the display showing the carts are ok before the "Ink cartridge error Replace ink cartridge" but it might take some slow motion photography to confirm this.
Nevertheless I am stumped.
The cost of parts alone is $1200 and for a tech to knock on the door $100, to come in and cough $175 per hour.
If that gets resolved there is no guarantee the head will print.
I am sure it is worth every penny but I have so few these days.
So can anyone offer some insight into this mysterious behavior?
Thanks in advance, Peter

Did you try booting the printer up in service or maintenace mode? Does it make a difference?

I can boot up in whichever mode the right arrow, the ok button and the down arrow is.
But that does not help me get in "Ready" state
Thanks though.

Have you read through the service manual? I looked it up for you and it suggests four things to do when you get the "NO CARTRIDGE INSTALL INK CARTRIDGE" message:
1 - (and this is clever) Install the ink Cartridge.
2 - Remove the Ink Cartridge once, and install it again correctly.
3 - Check the connection between the Ink Cartridge and the Main Board Assy.
4 - Replace the Ink Cartridge with a new one
You say you bought it used - did you see it run before you bought it? If so maybe it's #3, a loose connection. Could be it got dislodged while moving?

Try to press the ink output hole on the cart with a paperclip and blow some air in the nipple near by with a tube to eliminate bubles in the cart. It is explianed in the service manual, page 226.
Error Message: INK CARTRIDGE ERROR: REPLACE INK CARTRIDGE Explanation of Error:
The CSIC Chip reports ink in the Cartridge, but the Ink Out Sensor (located where the ink leaves the Cartridge) reports no ink.
Cause of Error:
Tiny air bubbles in the Ink Out Sensor. Repair Strategy:
Remove the tiny air bubbles from the Ink Out Sensor. Repair Detail:
. Use the paper clip to open the Ink Valve, and release a small amount of ink and the trapped air.
This Cartridge did contain air bubbles in the ink. The small amount of air in the ink is enough to cause the error.

John Caldwel just had this on a brand new 9900.
D1 replaced the main board,but they just love to replace parts willy nilly, especially when Epson pays for them under warrantee.
Try jiggling and reseating the ribbon cables on both cart bays and the main board and also the bay doors interlock, especially the one that you are closing last that gives you the error, before you resort to parts.I recently had my 9890 do the same thing when booting up ,turns out the right door was ajar (I wonder how a door can be a jar?)
I don't believe one bad cart would cause
to show as not registering, especially if you change the insertion order.

Re: Epson 7900 from the inside - out -- HELP!

I installed a new wiper blade in my Epson 7900, and when I shut down from Service Mode and restart in normal mode I get a white screen with "Code 1489" and the message that I should try restarting again and if still a problem call Epson.
Gulp .
Everything appeared to go smoothly and easily, however:
* I was a little surprised that when I "snapped" the wiper blade assembly into place, the assembly wasn't at a uniform distance: slightly more towards me at the bottom than the top, but it did "snap" into place. I can't remember what it looked like before I started. I have tried fiddling it to see whether I can get it to be a uniform distance and don't seem able to do this; it does seem to be naturally "seated" where it is and I don't want to force anything.
* It required me to agree to "Cleaning", and I then had to change two of the ink cartridges, and then it appeared to clean ok in Service mode, though possibly with a little more sound effects. But as noted, I can't get back into normal mode without the white screen Code 1489 appearing.
Any ideas would be much appreciated, as I am stopped and at my wits end as to what to do here.

Thanks for all your responses.
I like the one about the cables and the door ajar.
Eric, I do have the service manual but nowhere does it allude to any 10 carts being inserted with success, in any order, and the printer going only wacko with the 11th and saying there are no carts all. 8 of the carts are brand spanking new and I burped the not-so-new ones.
I bought the printer and the owner mentioned this problem as to why he had put the printer out to pasture but exclaimed, when I was buying it, that the problem was no longer there. That was probably because he was a cartridge short and so the remaining carts were registering just fine.
Any way, one of the doors is just a tad wonky and I think I will shake that tree and see what fall out.
Thanks and any other suggestions would be appreciated.

I cannot find 1489 error listed in the manual
Just a wild guess, but try the pause- cancel job button on the panel and see if you can cancel and reset before shutting down then restart. Or...
Try leaving the printer unplugged overnight. Some errors retained in flash memory might possibly will dissappear after the power is off for more than a specified time and the printer returns to defaults. Worth a try!

You didn't see a print come off the machine before you bought it?
I hope you have recourse with the former owner, or has he already skipped town?
I have a bridge for sale, Interested?

Hi David
Where's that bridge located?
I'd love to come and check it out.
How much do you want for it?
Actually, anyone on this forum would have done what I did.
Let's just say it was priced accordingly.
Now I have this monster printer sitting in our small living room, in between our 2 couches, so if anyone sits in them they have to peek through the Epson stand to converse with each other.
Wife's not too happy.
