EPSON print head removal instructions.
The instructions presented here are for basic reference and to show that if you use a little care and follow along you can remove and replace a Epson print head. Although it does show the process it is a good idea to use the service manual along with the on-screen instructions. The main reason for this page is so you can save your faithful old Epson printer. With the newer printers being so expensive to operate. Fixing your older printer does make sense overall. DO NOT REMOVE THE PRINT HEAD JUST TO CLEAN IT!!!
I have included a page from the 640 service manual which shows reference information on the adjustments that need to be performed after you replace the print head.
The instruction will cover several older Epson printer models. Including the Stylus Color 400, 440, 460, 600, 640, 660, 670,Stylus Color EX, Photo 700, 760, And others.
DISCONNECT THE PRINTER FROM THE ELECTRICAL OUTLET! Next remove the printer housing. On most models there are two (2) scrrews in the front and two (2) in the back of the printer.

The Civil Wars member Joy Williams has added her voice to those saying goodbye to Jay Leno. After a 22 year run, Jay Leno stood up from the famous "Tonight Show" desk for the last time on Thursday night, February 6. Since then, Twitter has lit up with messages of thanks and well wishes for years of laughter and entertainment. On February 8, The Civil Wars' Joy Williams spoke on behalf of the duo.
She tweeted:
Dear @jayleno, you were the first to give @thecivilwars a chance to play live on TV. I'll always be grateful. - Joy
As has come to be expected, the other half of the duo, John Paul White, has remained silent. Though the singer did come out of the woodwork to accept The Civil Wars GRAMMY Award in January, he's been silent again since apologizing via Twitter for not thanking his partner, Joy Williams, in the acceptance speech for their award.
Whatever is going on with this duo doesn't seem to be letting up any time soon. Since they canceled their tour in 2012, John Paul White has been all but invisible, while Joy Williams has said that she hopes they can have a reconciliation.
Meanwhile, Joy Williams seems to be trying to keep in contact with the world. In addition to offering her thanks to Jay Leno, she used Twitter to say she's back in the studio. Whether or not The Civil Wars ever make it back to the "Tonight Show"–or any show–perhaps fans will at least get to enjoy new music from the female half of what once was a brilliant duo.

The Hawaii Real Estate Market
The median home price for the entire state of Hawaii, according to Zillow, was $550,800 as of September, 2015. This was a 5.4% increase over the prior twelve months. Zillow expects prices to rise 2.9% in the next year.
The median home price statistics include both condos and single family homes. The median price of a single family home in Hawaii was $660,000. Home prices for the state as a whole have recovered from the significant decline due to the Great Recession. The price for single family homes hit $632,000 in the summer of 2007 before falling to around $530,000 in 2012.
The price of a condo in Hawaii exceeded the high of $383,000 set in the summer of 2007. The state median price for a condo hit its 2007 high again in February 2015. The median sale price of condos in Hawaii in September, 2015 was $395,000.
Hawaii's housing market is considered healthy. The market is actually very hot on Oahu, where two thirds of the population lives on an island where more than half the land is locked up in agricultural zoning, military or state and federal parks. However, the rest of the islands have recovered most of the value they lost since the 2007 housing crash. Only 5.8% of homes in Hawaii have negative equity, compared to 14.4% nationally, as of mid-2015. This doesn't have as much of an impact on Hawaii real estate as the rest of the nation, since nearly four in ten Hawaiians are renters.
The housing market has good turnover. The average time on the market is around 73 days, as of August 2015. Homes costing less than $500,000 are routinely bid up because of the relative lack of affordable housing. Condos also sell well and at a faster pace than single family homes, since they can be sold by residents to investors or retirees.
Housing Market by Island
The housing market varies island by island, which is why you can't decide whether a specific property is a good deal by comparing it to the state averages for Hawaii.
Oahu is home of some of the most expensive houses for sale in Hawaii. Oahu's prices passed their pre-recession highs in 2014, with the median price of Oahu single homes hitting $730,000 by the end of 2014.
Only 12% of homes sold in the first half of 2015 cost less than $500,000; most of those properties were on the Wai'anae Coast, though some were in central O'ahu. You do not find homes for less than half a million along the coast.
The average price of a home in Oahu hit $710,000, a 10% increase of the 2013 median price of $647,000. Though many housing markets saw significant declines in home values between 2007 and 2012, Oahu's lack of supply relative to demand caused homes there to continue appreciating at 5% a year from 2007 to 2013. Hawaii as a whole saw 9% home appreciation in 2014, excluding distressed sales.
The Big Island
The median price of single family homes on the big island of Hawaii sold for $390,000 in the summer of 2015. This is affordable compared to Oahu's market, but it is a 24% increase over the median prices only a year prior. In 2014, the same house would have sold for $315,000. The median price of houses for sale in Hawaii on the big island have skewed up recently due to the spike in luxury homes selling in North Kohala.
Condo sales on the big island went up, the median price of condos on the island has hovered around the $300,000 mark. [ Hunting for the best site to keep up with Calgary real estate trends? Check out www.AlbertaRealEstateGroup.com for all the best Calgary homes for sale. ] In general, the eastern side of the island near Pahoa is cheaper than the western side. Areas like Waimea, Kawaihae and Puako are some of the most expensive markets. Hookaa and Honomu are a little cheaper. Kailua-Kona has a median sale price of almost half that of properties in Milolii in the south. Communities around Hawaii Volcanoes National Park like Kalapana and Naeelehu are some of the most affordable homes on the market.
The median price of homes of all types for sale on Molokai as of September, 2015 was $180,000. A hundred thousand dollars can buy a small one bedroom condo near the beach. For $150,000, you can get a two bedroom condo. Paying $200,000 yields a two bedroom, two bath thousand square foot condo a short walk from the beach or 800 square foot stand alone beach cottage. You can find off the grid single family homes with 1,600 square feet of living space for around $300,000 or six hundred square foot unit in a luxury condo development.
Lanai's housing prices were rendered moot by Larry Ellison's purchase of the island in 2012. Home sales there have dropped, and the median price of the few properties on the market sold for $408,500 in early 2015. In some months, no homes sold at all. One condo on Lanai sold for $325,000 in August, 2015. New site!! Check out www.PhoenixAZHomefinder.com for all the Phoenix homes for sale updated hourly. If you're looking for houses for sale in Hawaii, it is probably best to look somewhere other than Lanai.
The median price of a single family home for sale on Kauai was $662,500 as of August, 2015. The most expensive real estate on the island of Kauai is around Wainiha, Princeville and Hanalei, while neighboring Kilauea is a little cheaper. Koloa is also expensive, while Kalaheo, Puhi, Lihu'e and Kekaha are a little cheaper. You can find one bedroom, one bath condos for as little as $50,000. Two bedroom one bath condos start at around $150,000. You can find two bedroom, one and a half bath condos with a thousand square feet for around $250,000 on Kauai. The same price tag lets you buy a three bedroom, one bath single family home; this makes Kauai a bargain, since you can buy detached single family homes on this island for less than a small condo on Oahu. Kauai is also one of the few islands where you can buy small lots on which to build your own home or several acre parcels to develop.

The median price for a single family homes for sale in Maui is around $550,000 as of August, 2015. The most expensive areas on Maui are around Paia, Wailea-Makena and west of Maalaea. Central Maui is cheaper than housing along the coast, though the Iao Valley is more expensive than the surrounding area. Kihei prices are affordable on average because of how many new condos are coming onto the market there, allowing supply to keep up with demand.

Why Use PC System Utilities Software?
So your computer has the blue screen of death, what should you do now? Downloading a PC system utilities tool can help bring life back to your PC. Whether your system is completely broken or is just a bit slow, the best PC optimizers can do wonders for old and clunky computers. By cleaning up unneeded files, fixing registries and defragging your hard drives, utility software is a cost-effective way of making your PC faster and more efficient.
System Mechanic Pro, Fix-It Utilities Pro and WinOptimizer are the best PC system utilities tools for getting your machine up to speed. If you have concerns about specific problems with your PC, check out the latest articles about the health and safety of your PC.
PC System Utilities: What to Look For
The best system optimizers should have all the right features for both fixing errors and preventing future problems with your computer. Many also have both automatic and manual settings so you can keep your system running smoothly without watching it like a hawk.
Repair & Recovery
How well the software actually fixes problems is a big part of choosing utility software. Some of the best tools to have are registry and hard drive repair, internet activity cleaner, shortcut repair and system backup and restore. You'll also want to find a program that makes it easy to recover lost data, allows you to securely delete files and delete unwanted programs.
No matter how well your recovery software works, it has to be easy to use or you won't have any success. Easy-to-use programs will have tutorials, one-click fixes, scans and optimizers, automatic problem detection and simple navigation.
In order to find out why your computer is running slowly, you'll need to run a diagnostic scan of your whole system. Some programs run quick and full scans, and some don't run scans at all. Find a program that will fully analyze your computer. The best PC maintenance software allows you to control automatic or manual scans of your computer to diagnose and monitor hard drive failure, hardware failure, drivers and system information.
Once you fix errors and speed up your system, the best utility software will prevent future problems with your PC. Managing startup programs can really help keep your computer running quickly. Your computer cleanup software should also perform regular maintenance tasks like defragging your hard drive, optimizing memory, updating Windows and monitoring internet settings.
Help & Support
When learning how to speed up your computer, you might need some extra help from the software manufacturer. Many have FAQs pages so you can learn how to use more functions of the software. You should also look for email and live chat features so you can easily reach support representatives. An important feature to notice is how many computers one license covers. If you can find a license that can be applied to 3 or more computers, you'll definitely be saving money.
In order to keep your Windows PC in the best shape possible, use a PC system utilities tool to fix problems and to prevent problems in the future. If you keep your PC clean and working properly, it'll last much longer and keep more money in your wallet.

College Hockey:Niagara Wins CHA Title
Second Period Power-Play Tally Provides Game-Winner For Purple Eagles
LEWISTON, N.Y. — Niagara (22-10-4) won the 2007-2008 CHA Tournament with a 3-2 victory over Bemidji State on Sunday, clinching a berth into the 2008 NCAA Tournament.
The Purple Eagles scored two goals in the final four minutes of the second period and junior netminder Juliano Pagliero stopped all nine Beaver shots in the final period, including two incredible saves while on a five-on-three penalty kill, to preserve the victory.
"From the first day of practice, we talked about being a championship team," Niagara head coach Dave Burkholder said. "All year we dreamed about celebrating on our home ice. I had visions of this. We were on a mission to make sure our seniors went to the NCAA Tournament and we've accomplished it."
"We just didnt have that mojo today," said BSU head coach Tom Serratore, whose team finishes at 17-16-3. "Our puck possession and fore checking weren't what they normally are and we didn't sustain the kind of pressure you need to win on the road.
"I thought our guys showed a lot of resiliency and fought until the end and that is all you can ask."
Junior forward Kyle Rogers connected on a one-timer just 10 seconds into a power-play opportunity in the final minute of the second period for the game-winner. Senior co-captian Matt Caruana won the draw and cycled the puck to Ted Cook. Cook sent the puck across the ice to Vince Rocco and the co-captian found Rogers wide open in the center of the zone. The 6-foot-1 forward sent the one-timer on net and buried the game-winner.
With six minutes remaining in the contest and the Purple Eagles already on the penalty kill, Niagara was forced to fight off a five-on-three for 1:27. Burkholder sent three defensemen to the ice as sophomore Ryan Annesley took three draws in the penalty kill.
"The three seniors who were on the ice during the five-on-three were completely unphased," Burkholder said. "I, on the other hand, was a complete mess."
The Dwyer Arena crowd of 1,081 seemed like it had a bolt of electricity sent through it with each Niagara clear, but the biggest eruption came on a Pagliero save. The junior goalie made a sprawling save, and as the puck trickled between his legs, Pagliero sat down on the puck and stopped it just inches in front of the goal line.
Just after Niagara successfully killed the pair of penalties, Cook came racing down center ice and Annesley fed him the puck on a breakaway. After a quick deke, Cook sent the puck past Matt Climie and the goal light went on. After a short break, officials ruled no goal after video replay showed inconclusive evidence.
Bemidji State took a 1-0 lead 2:55 into the first period when Brandon Marino gathered a rebound and beat Pagliero on his stick side. Halfway through the opening frame, with the nation's fifth-leading power-play unit on the ice, Cook deflected a slapshot from Rogers in front of the net to knot the score at 1-1.
Bemidji State controlled the first 16 minutes of the second period, including taking a 2-1 lead off a turnover in Niagara's defensive zone. Tyler Lehrke buried a wrister after Matt Francis wrestled the puck away fron Niagara.
Sophomore Chris Moran tied the score at 2-2 with a rebound goal with 3:32 left in the period. Senior Scott Langdon took a shot off the draw that was blocked and Moran had an easy opportunity that he took advantage off. With 55 seconds left in the period, setting up the game-winning power-play opportunity.

The crew at Casselview Golf and Country Club has beaten back the chilly challenge that Old Man Winter blew at them.
Your reporter played the track in Casselman last week and the news is true - the large greens are in velvety fine mid-summer form.
"We're always improving to stay ahead," said Claude Leclair, who co-owns and operates the full service facility with his brother, Daniel. "Our motto for 2014 is 'Experience all that is great' and to make this happen for members and public players we continue to look for ways to better the experience each player has here."
One of the tweaks is in the works on No. 11 where the former par four has become a risk-reward par five now that the tee boxes have been moved back.
"No. 11 used to play from 393 yards from the white tees," said Daniel. "It now measures 446 from the whites and presents golfers with the challenge of going for the green in two while missing the pond that borders the putting surface on the right."
Claude and Daniel are also huge believers in providing all golfers with pleasant social experiences.
"Our two women's leagues on Wednesdays are back for the 2014 season," Claude said. "The ladies can play during the day or in the evening. Each golfer receives nine holes of golf, a power cart, a buffet and the chance for prizes for $40. The day league starts at 2:30 p.m. and the evening league begins with a shotgun start at 6 p.m."
Meanwhile, the age for seniors to be eligible for special rates has dropped to 55 from 60.
"The senior rates are the $35 for walkers and $45 for power cart riders every Monday and Tuesday," said Claude.
Casselview and Country Club features five sets of tees-boxes and is situated only 25-minutes east of Ottawa beside Hwy. 417 near the Casselman exit.
The layout measures 4,851 yards to 6,705 yards in length and plays to a par of 72. It features four ponds and is surrounded by Butternut Creek.
For more details, to book a tee-time or inquire about leagues and the new tournament and banquet menu, call 613.798.4653 or e-mail email@example.com.

I'm working through a final exam from 2 years ago. First task was to find the ideal class group of $\Bbb{Q}(\sqrt{-73})$. That is not the difficult work. I can give the 4 representants of the group by $\omega$, $\frac{\omega+1}{2}$, $\frac{\omega+2}{7}$ and $\frac{\omega-2}{7}$ with $\omega=\sqrt{-73}$. This group is isomorphic to $C_4$. A generator for the group is given by $C=\frac{\omega-2}{7}$ (I hope this is true :) ) But now the following task:
Compute all ideals $\mathfrak{a}$ from $\Bbb{Z}[\sqrt{-73}]$ such that $N(\mathfrak{a})<15$ with $\mathfrak{a}\in C$ (here is N the Norm of the ideal).
Can someone help me with this question?! Thanks :)

As for the picture, it is actually a scene of Evan Jay Newman as Gavroche, Tom Zemon as Grantaire, and "the Company", from the Broadway production of "Les Misérables" (obtained from that site's photo database). By the way, before it was a musical, this was an inspired play and novel by Victor Hugo, and a sobering comment on real-life France in the beautiful Victorian era. Of course, in New Europa, life is so much gentler that there is no apparently Communes Revolt in 1871. Still, let's keep in mind that aspect...

Anderson Cooper Can't Control Giggles Over Gerard Depardieu Pee Incident
Anderson Cooper ends his CNN show with a segment called "The Ridiculist," during which he pokes fun of one of the day's most peculiar pop culture stories. Today, the anchor took aim at Gerard Depardieu, who peed in a plane's aisle in front of his fellow passengers.
Cooper giggled through a series of urination puns until he finally lost it when noting the cleaning crew was glad they didn't have to deal with a "De-part-two."
Check out the video below of Cooper laughing uncontrollably during his segment.

Seattle Mariners batting order news might catch fans by surprise today (July 29). The Mariners' batting order will now have Dustin Ackley as the leadoff hitter and rookie shortstop Chris Taylor hitting second. According to a report from MLB.com, James Jones will move to the No. 9 slot in the new order. It's an interesting strategy by manager Lloyd McClendon as he tries to find some offense with his roster. Hisashi Iwakuma will take the mound in Game 1 of this series against the Cleveland Indians.
Ackley has posted a batting average of .375 during the month of July and that ranks him among the best in the American League. It has been a nice hot streak that the team has noticed and which fans have been very happy to see from the former No. 2 overall selection. He might finally have found the hitting stroke that the Mariners saw in him while he was having success at the University of North Carolina. It would also help the offense a lot down the stretch if he could continue this hot streak.
In the latest 2014 MLB standings, the Mariners hold a 54-51 record that has them in third place in the American League West. The team has really fallen out of contention for a division title, especially with how well the Oakland Athletics are playing, and now is simply battling for one of the wild card slots. The team now has to worry more about the New York Yankees and the Toronto Blue Jays, as those are the two teams neck-and-neck with them when it comes to the second wild card slot.
Having Dustin Ackley leadoff the new Seattle Mariners batting order might be a risky move simply because it puts added pressure on him at the plate. It could also turn into a genius move if it turns out that he really has figured out something at the plate and he can continue putting up these great July numbers. As for Jones, the hope is that he too can figure something out at the bottom of the order, because he has been struggling worse than nearly everyone on the roster in recent weeks.

Brands like Tom's and Warby Parker have been following a "Do Good" approach for years now. With every purchase of a Tom's shoe or a Warby Parker pair of glasses, the companies distribute a pair to those in need in coutnries such as Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia and India. Efforts such as these demonstrated an increase in productivity for students as well as a better clinical health status for many children since the use of shoes would protect them from minor illnesses. Recently, brands in the health and wellness space have been moving in the same direction. Here are a few that are making an impact:
S'well - S'well bottles are composed of non-leaching and non-toxic stainless steel allowing your beverages/liquids to be kept cold for 24 hours and hot for 12 hours. Not only does the purchase of one S'well bottle help reduce the use of plastic bottles each year, but the brand also donates a portion from the proceeds of each and every bottle towards Water Aid. Also, for every limited edition S'well bottle sold, 10% goes towards brining nutrition, counseling, support and women's empowerment to those in need through the Keep A Child Alive organization.
Studio 360 NYC - Studio 360 is a relatively new boutique studio in the Murray Hill neighborhood of Manhattan, New York. It is the only studio in Manhattan dedicated exclusively to Cycling and Yoga not to mention one of the only studios that donates one dollar per student per class to a different monthly charity. Each month the charity changes! Who wouldn't want to sweat for a great cause?
Steve's PaleoGoods - Steve's PaleoGoods started off as a simple "PaleoKit" created from his very own kitchen! It's a combination of jerky, nuts, and berries with hopes that it would provide fuel to the kids he worked with as an healthier alternative to the school lunches in order to improve their nutrition. Soon enough, the kits become popular and Steve's Club became a national program. 15% of proceeds from sales of Steve's PaleoGoods go to Steve's Club National Program – our 501c3 non-profit that brings fitness, nutrition guidance and mentorship to at-risk youth.
Suja - All of Suja's juices are certified Organic, Non-GMO & Kosher and are processed using cold pressure (also known as High Pressure Processing or HPP) to kill harmful bacteria while preserving nutrition and taste. It is now one of the fastest growing cold-pressed beverage companies. When a Suja Elements bottle is purchased from our exclusive partner Whole Foods Market, 20 cents is donated to the specific cause associated with that flavor. This partnership hopes to bring greater awareness and assistance to the missions of important causes like New Eyes, Teens Turning Green and Citizens for GMO Labeling.
The partnership with charitable organizations or sales contributions towards different organizations demonstrates their efforts to achieve a healthier life for many worldwide.

Lord Emsworth (Timothy Spall) and his outrageous sister Connie (Jennifer Saunders) along with his Lordships son Freddie (Jack Farthing) reside at Blandings Castle. That would be just fine for his Lordship for his only real joy in life is playing with his prize pig The Empress. Unfortunately, they are not alone. A long list of family and house guests all seem to want to live or visit for long periods of time. You see his Lordship would be content if his sister Connie would go and find another place to live but that doesn't seem to be the case. In other words this is one hilarious place to live for there is always something crazy going on.
The series 2 DVD set includes episodes "Throwing Eggs", "Dirty Work at the Crossroads", "Hallo to All This", "Lord Emsworth Acts for The Best", "Sticky Wicket at Blandings", "Necessary Rhino", and "Custody of the Pumpkin".
I would have to say my favorite is the titled 'Throwing Eggs". It has the Duke of Dunstable (Harry Enfield) come for a visit. Not only does he try to destroy everything at the Castle, but he also tries to have his Lordship committed. Which makes it one if the most hilarious episodes of this series.
Another favorite is one in which older sister Charlotte (Celia Imrie) arrives ends up wanting to stay on permanently in the episode titled "Dirty Work at the Crossroads". In addition Empress the pig getting stolen by Freddie is hilarious. I know it all sounds so silly but it is all good fun and makes for one enjoyable show.
Acorn is bringing the Series 2 DVD set to us come August 26, 2014. The DVD quality is superb. The sound and visuals are perfect and most enjoyable.
'Blandings' is one of those shows to enjoy when you just want to sit back and laugh for a couple of hours. This would be a perfect fit for any comedy lover's DVD library. You would have at your fingertips some of the best in British humor. So take the time to see his Lordship, Empress, Connie, and Freddie at their very best. Enjoy all the crazy extended members of the family that happen to drop by and the nuttiest friends they seem to have.

I am forty-eight years old. I am a Michigan-licensed attorney who practiced law in the metropolitan Detroit area for twenty-one years. From 2001 to 2007, I was a hard-working, high-billing litigation attorney in an employment law firm, the fifth firm I had worked for during the course of my career, earning a six figure income and generous yearly bonuses. Although I can honestly say that I never really "loved the law," as do many attorneys, I fully expected to continue plugging along on this same career path for another twenty years. While I had always harbored a deep-seated desire to write a book before I died, feeling that if I didn't accomplish that I would die with regret, I pushed that desire to the side for the last two decades and even had myself convinced that I could otherwise "die happy." I just could not envision a life without "lawyering." I had been at it too long and a law degree is not something that one just tosses aside.
Without warning, however, life happened. In December 2006 I was told that I would be receiving a large bonus but not a salary increase because the sole corporate client I worked for was struggling financially and the firm's future with that client was unstable. Then in January 2007, without reason or explanation, one individual associated with that client became disgruntled with me personally, and my entire caseload was ripped out from under me. With no other clients or business to tend to, I resigned from the firm. The day I walked out was the first day in years I felt myself breathe. I never shed a tear. I never mourned the loss of the job or the work. I missed my boss, for he was and still is a good man, but the enormity of relief that flooded every cell in my body was the proverbial red flag that life in the firm had not been "life affirming."
For most of my adult life I have been influenced by outside negative forces, always feeling inferior and always defining myself by what others thought or said about me.
Admittedly, there were many days when I felt like a huge failure, but gradually, I considered that perhaps I didn't fail the profession; it was the profession that failed me.
For the next six weeks, I went to the gym, met my lawyer friends for lunch, and yes, began buying and reading a magazine called MORE, something I had first discovered in a doctor's office waiting room. I was shocked when a recruiter called to say a firm was looking for a part time, temporary contract attorney in my field of employment law. I agreed to have her submit my name as a candidate, but was not overly excited to get back in the business. When I received an offer and accepted it, I did so not for financial reasons, but because as a contract employee I would not be married to the firm, would not have to bill a defined number of hours, and would have the freedom to come and go as I pleased. The flexibility of this job would allow me to reach deep inside and ponder what to do next.
I began absorbing every article in MORE and other magazines that referred to "second acts" or "reinventing" oneself, terms I had never heard of before. The stories of other women who had hit speed bumps in life and used it to turn their lives around were compelling and inspiring. I began to feel less like a failure and more like a person who had just been handed an opportunity.
While still working as a contract attorney, I applied to become an arbitrator with the American Arbitration Association. This much I knew: I no longer wanted to be a legal advocate, but wanted to keep a toe in the profession to some degree. Arbitration was an attractive option. I solicited the required letters of recommendation and completed the demanding essays as to why I thought I was qualified to serve as an arbitrator. My application was accepted and I completed an intense training period. This process rebuilt my confidence and confirmed that all was not lost.
