HP Deskjet F4480 multifunction printer
An HP multifunction device for users with minimal print needs
- Simple to use, low initial cost, reasonable running cost when using XL cartridges, good text quality
- Loud, poor scan quality, poor quality photo prints, cartridge replacement can be awkward, no PictBridge or memory card reader
Bottom Line
HP's Deskjet F4480 multifunction inkjet printer is about as basic as a multifunction device can get. It can be used to print, scan and photocopy, but it only performs text printing with aplomb. It's a loud and has a small paper handling capacity. It is suited to users who only have to print every so often.
Price$ 89.00 (AUD)
HP's Deskjet F4480 is a multifunction inkjet printer for people who have a small office or work from home. It can print, scan and copy, but it lacks extra features such as a memory card reader and PictBridge.
HP Deskjet F4480 design and paper handling
The Deskjet F4480 is a simple device; the paper loads from the front, traverses the curved paper path and emerges from the front. This means that the 4480 will take up a smaller desktop footprint than printers that have a straight paper path and load paper from the back, but you still can't sit the F4480 flush against a wall — the power and data cables stick out of the back.
You can load up to 80 sheets of plain A4 paper and the printer can hold up to 15 sheets of output. In our tests, we got it to hold up to 20 pages without spilling them onto the floor. There isn't a separate tray for the output to sit on; after it comes out of the printer it just rests atop the input tray. It's a very simple printer — you don't have to attach any wings to it, just drop and extend the flap at the front.
The Deskjet F4480 has two ink cartridges: a black cartridge and a tri-colour one. They are very easy to install; just pull down the lid, wait for the holder to come to the centre and push the cartridges into it until they spring into position. However, they can be a pain to remove because the holder moves when you apply pressure to the cartridges and you have to centre it again to make sure the cartridges can slide out of their groove.
Because the multifunction uses a tri-colour cartridge you don't have to deal with individual colour tanks, but that also means you don't have the flexibility to change individual colours. You might end up having to replace a whole cartridge even if only one colour is depleted.
HP Deskjet F4480 running costs and quality
The Deskjet F4880 is supplied with HP 60 cartridges. The cost of the standard HP 60 black cartridge is $24.32 and the tri-colour cartridge costs $28.52. Considering the printer itself costs only $89, it's a substantial replacement cost. There are HP 60XL cartridges available, too, which cost $47.84 and $56.24 for the black and tri-colour, respectively — getting one of each will cost $15 more than the printer! For the standard cartridges, the average cost per page is approximately 29 cents, which is almost 3 cents more expensive than the standard running cost of the HP Photosmart B109a, for example, which has a higher initial outlay of $129. Using the XL cartridges, the running cost is 20 cents per page. In essence, the XL black cartridges give you three times the print capacity for less than twice the price of a standard cartridge, while the Xl tri-colour cartridge gives you just under three times the capacity for double the price.
During our tests, the standard cartridges allowed us to print our 20-page A4 test document in normal mode on plain paper, as well as 27 'best' quality 6x4in photos using HP Advanced photo paper. We didn't have to wait too long for the photos: each print came out in 28sec. The 20-page test document (which is a mixture of text pages, test patterns, images, graphs and gradients) came out at a rate of 2.1 pages per minute, with the first page out in 39sec. This rate will vary depending on the content of your pages; pages without graphics and graphs will print quicker, for example.
The quality of the text is sharp and even 6-point reversed text looked clear. Photo quality isn't great though: there is plenty of noticeable colour banding and graininess, and black areas had a slight green tinge. Photos printed on HP Advanced paper were easily smudged and scratched, and the ink came off on our fingers as we flicked through photos. However, if you just want to print out 6x4in photos to spruce up the office, the prints will be fine.
The HP Deskjet F4480's control panel.
The colour ink started running out when we printed our 26th photo and the printer just kept on printing despite one colour being depleted. The ink level indicators in the printer driver and on the printer itself don't show individual colour levels, which is annoying. The printer's control panel is actually very primitive. It has a single-digit LCD display for photocopying, a 4-step ink level indicator, and lights to tell you which function is currently in use. There is no full-colour LCD screen.
Initial setup of the Deskjet F4880 takes about 20min (for the software and hardware). When you install the cartridges, the printer spurts out an alignment page automatically. Along the way, the software tells you to align the cartridges, too. You only have to do this once, so don't click 'align' cartridges during the software setup. The printed page needs to be placed in the scanner for the alignment to be complete. You need to print an alignment page each time you install a new cartridge — you can't just use the same sheet.
The scan quality from the Deskjet F4880 isn't as good as the quality we saw from the HP B109. Our test scans suffered from lots of banding and a lack of definition. Scanning books can be painful because the lid can't be raised off the scan bed to make more room for them, and the driver doesn't have any advanced options to play with; for example, you can't remove moire patterns from magazine scans.
Overall, the Deskjet F4480 is a basic multifunction printer that's suitable for a small business with very light printing needs. It's the type of printer you buy if you know you'll only be printing one or two documents per week, instead of printing something every day. Its running cost when using standard ink cartridges is high, but it improves greatly when using XL inks. Whether you want to spend more on cartridges than you did on the printer is another story. Also, it's darn noisy.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Perfect for Back to School: "Apple" Pocket Piesbellalimento
School is just around the corner and I'm already thinking about their lunches. We're a lunchbox family so I'm always looking for new things to put into my children's lunchboxes. Pocket pies, or hand pies are a wonderful sweet treat to finish off their meal. I was gifted an adorable APPLE Pocket Pie Mold and I know I'm going to be putting it to good use. You can put any filling in that you like. We've already tried apple and peach {pictured above}and loved them both.
You can use fresh fruit fillings or even a premium pie filling. They would also be great with savory fillings {ham and cheese please} Same goes for the crust. You can make your own, or use store bought.
If you're interested in the Pocket Pie Mold you can find it HERE You could also substitute a very large cookie cutter.
"Apple" Pocket Pies
What you'll need: {makes 5 pocket pies}
1 box refrigerated pie crust {2 discs}
21 ounces premium pie filling of your choice
1 egg – beaten, for egg wash
turbinado sugar – to dust
What to do:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut out 4 "apples" from each dough disc. Gather remaining dough, roll out and cut 2 additional "apples".
2. Place one "apple" into form. Spoon in a few tablespoons of pie filling {careful not to overfill}. Place a second "apple" onto reverse side of mold. Using a pastry brush, lightly brush edges. Fold mold together and press tightly to seal. Transfer completed pocket pie onto a rimmed baking sheet lined with a silicon mat or parchment paper. Continue until all pies are complete.
3. Lightly brush tops of pocket pies with egg wash. Sprinkle sugar on tops. Bake for approximately 15 minutes or until golden and bubbly.

Tilted Earth Wine and Music Festival
Saturday 6.21.2014 @ 1:00pm | ImagesAZ | Community
Venue: Riverfront Park in Cottonwood
The first annual Tilted Earth Wine and Music Festival being held June 21 at Riverfront Park in Cottonwood is a vibrant and entertaining celebration of many things. First and foremost, it is a celebration of the Northern Arizona wine industry showcasing 16 Northern Arizona wineries. Wine aficionados can enjoy specialty selections from these wineries, which will be together for the first time, and enjoy the music performed by seven bands. Delicious food by a variety of vendors and massages by Page Springs Massage and Yoga will be available for purchase. There will also be free activities for kids of all ages.
Tilted Earth is also a celebration for the tenth anniversary of Page Springs Cellars, which is hosting the event, in place of its extremely popular fall Harvest Festival.
"The Arizona wine industry is worthy of celebration all year long, but Tilted Earth is a special way to commemorate our craft, bring the community together for a little fun in the sun, and give back to a good cause while doing it," said Eric Glomski, Page Springs Cellars' founder and winemaker. "We're incredibly grateful to be celebrating 10 fruitful years in this rapidly growing industry and we're proud to call this roster of wineries our colleagues and friends."
Part of the proceeds will benefit the Verde Valley Teen Center, helping to create and sustain youth programs that empower teens from throughout the Verde Valley to lead successful lives as individuals and community members.
Riverfront Park truly sets the stage for an enjoyable event. Its expansive open space and lush, green trees are perfect for a Saturday afternoon with loved ones or a quick escape from the Phoenix heat. Held during the summer solstice, the event's name hints at the final reason to celebrate: The earth tilts at about 23.5 degrees from it's axis and as a result, we experience the seasons and can, among other things, grow grapes.
Doors will be open from noon to midnight. Admission includes a reusable Govino wine glass, and wines can be purchased from any of the participating wineries. Admission for children 12 and under is free, and there are complimentary activities for kids (big and small) including sumo suit wrestling, inflatable jousts, jolly jumps and slides, face painting and more.
Among the musicians performing is acclaimed Canadian headliner Bruce Cockburn. Inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2001, Cockburn has released 31 albums during a career that has spanned more than five decades.
Food will be available for purchase at Gourmet Food Truck Alley and includes Burgers Amore, Chicago Drive-by Café, Queso Good, Sandra Dee Creole Mobile Kitchen, The Great
Pho King, and Saffron Jak.
Band Schedule:
1-1:45 p.m. Alisa Fineman and Kimball Hurd
2:15-3 p.m. 13 to the Gallows
3:30-4:15 p.m. Dry River Yacht Club
4:45-5:30 p.m. Decker

A 17-year-old hurt in a crash in Derry on Tuesday night has died from his injuries.
The crash happened on Gulf Road around 10:30 p.m. Tuesday.
Kyle Ross, of Derry, died Wednesday of his injuries. He was not wearing a seat belt while driving, police said.
One passenger, Johanna Morse, 16, of Derry, suffered serious injuries in the crash.
A second passenger, Thompson Upham-Davis, 16, of Chester, suffered minor injuries.
Ross and Morse, who were trapped in the vehicle, were taken to the hospital by medical helicopter after the crash, police said.
Although the crash is still under investigation, officials said speed does seem to be a factor.

1. Realism and Anti-Realism: Hawking and Mlodinow.
Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow, The Grand Design (Bantam, 2010). This book declares in paragraph two that "philosophy is dead." The authors proceed, in chapter 3, "What is Reality," to produce what appears to be some terrible philosophy. The book as a whole looks like a somewhat frustrating combination of interesting science and bad philosophy. It might be interesting and fun to read parts of it as a case study in the connections between philosophy and science.
2. Bell's Theorem. This fits in with the more general issues about whether a realistic conception of the world is adequate; Bell's theorem (in conjunction with experimental results) appears to show conclusively that hidden-variables interpretations of QM cannot work. This has implications that appear to be anti-realistic in some sense. More precisely, it seems to show that some facts about the world are indeterminate, not just in the sense that we can't find out what they are, but in the stronger sense that there aren't any. Some have argued that QM also leads to philosophical antirealism, perhaps even to an idealistic view according to which the world is mind-dependent. (To me, this seems to be a pretty big stretch.) I have a song-and-dance I can present on this topic if people are interested. (Not a literal song and dance, just a presentation on the topic.)
David Mermin, "Is the Moon There When Nobody Looks? Reality and the Quantum Theory," Physics Today 38 (April, 1985): 38-47; letters and a response from Mermin in 38 (November, 1985), 9ff. A humorous and enjoyable piece, with historical as well as substantive discussion.
Bernard d'Espagnat, "The Quantum Theory and Reality," Scientific American CCXL (November, 1979): 158-181. My favorite introduction; careful and philosophically sensitive. (The library has several books by d'Espagnat on QM; I haven't read them, but judging by this article I'd expect them to be good.)
Abner Shimony, "The Reality of the Quantum World," Scientific American 258 (January, 1988): 46-53. More about the experiments which seem to show that Bell's Inequality is violated.
Van Fraassen, "The Charybdis of Realism," listed above, is a useful philosophical discussion. So is Arthur Fine, "Antinomies of Entanglement: The Puzzling Case of the Tangled Statistics," Journal of Philosophy 79 (1982): 733-747, and the relevant chapter of Fine's book cited above.
"Interview: John Bell," Omni 10 (May, 1988): 84-92, 121. Fun.
3. String Theory and Problems of Confirmation. There has apparently been an interesting flap in recent years over the status of string theory. There's an apparent problem: string theory by itself doesn't seem to make any testable predictions. Steven Weinberg and others have (I gather) suggested that we should accept the theory for aesthetic reasons, reasons of overall theoretical coherence, etc., even if there isn't any way to test it directly. On the other hand, there are fairly recent, controversial books criticizing string theory (and the culture of contemporary physics departments more generally): Lee Smolin, The Trouble with Physics, and Peter Woit, Not Even Wrong. Although I own these books, I haven't read them, so reading selections from them would be a bit of a shot in the dark. However, they look to be quite readable, and highly relevant to philosophical issues about confirmation.
4. Creation vs. Evolution. We've discussed this to some extent already, but could do a more serious job.
A truly excellent book on evolutionary theory, with lots of material of interest to philosophers, is Richard Dawkins, The Blind Watchmaker (1986; reissued with a new introduction, 1996). (There's a good section on how the eye may have developed in stages in Chapter 4.)
An excellent explanation and defense of evolutionary theory, with particular reference to creationism, is Douglas J. Futuyma, Science on Trial: The Case for Evolution (New York: Pantheon, 1983). I know that there are more recent books in the same vein: I've seen descriptions of one that looks good by Elliott Sober. I just happen to have Futuyma on my shelves.
(See also the intelligent design topic under "Science and Religion.")
5. Evolutionary Theory and Ethics. Does evolutionary theory have ethical implications? Some biologists have argued that evolutionary theory makes possible a scientifically based ethics. Most philosophers have their doubts. Defenses include Alexander, The Biology of Moral Systems, and E. O. Wilson, On Human Nature. A clear and well-written philosophical critique is Peter Singer, The Expanding Circle. These books date back to the 80s, though they're still of interest. More recently there's a growing literature on "evolutionary ethics." I haven't kept up with this, but we could sample some if people would like to take up this topic.
6. Economics. Is economics a science? How is it influenced by political considerations, and does this affect its status as science? It's very common for economists to talk about "models" of how the economic world works: does this suggest that the semantic view of theories is a helpful way to think about theories in economics?
I'm not sure what we'd read on this. I've read some interesting off-hand remarks by Paul Krugman that are relevant; I'm sure we could find more substantial discussions.
7. Does psychology show that free will is an illusion?
Some have argued that it does. A very interesting book by a psychologist, with obvious philosophical interest: Daniel Wegner, The Illusion of Conscious Will. (Interesting side note: although he's now a professor at Harvard, Wegner was at Trinity when I first came here in the early 80's.)
Science and Religion
8. Intelligent Design. The current incarnation of the creation/evolution debate, with perhaps a few new twists and angles. We could look at Darwin's Black Box, which may be the most influential defense of intelligent design, and some of the literature critical of its theses. The string theory flap mentioned above turns out to be relevant: one of the main arguments for intelligent design has been that otherwise it's hard to explain why some of the fundamental physical constants, notably the "cosmological constant," seem to be "fine-tuned for life." String theory apparently can be construed to offer an alternative, entirely natural explanation (see e.g. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/fundamentals/mg18825305.800.html).
Possible readings include (selections from):
Michael Behe, Darwin's Black Box
various writings of William Dembski (many of his writings are online at http://www.designinference.com/)
Niall Shanks, God, the Devil, and Darwin: A Critique of Intelligent Design Theory (Oxford, 2004)
essays by Elliott Sober
9. Science and religion: non-overlapping? Obviously some of the other topics are relevant to the relation between science and religion. But we could also take this up more directly. Stephen Jay Gould has argued that science and religion should be regarded as "non-overlapping magisteria," each of which gets into trouble when it tries to encroach on the other's territory.
10. Science and the "new atheism."
Some (e.g. Richard Dawkins) have argued that science should make us skeptical of the truth of religious claims. (Not all of the arguments and issues surrounding the new atheism are directly relevant to science, but some are.) We could take a look at some of this literature, in particular Richard Dawkins, The God Delusion (Houghton Mifflin, 2006), chapter 4 ("Why There Almost Certainly Is No God"), which gives more or less scientific arguments that the probability that there is a god is very low, and chapter 5 ("The Roots of Religion") which tries to give a scientific explanation of why religion is so prevalent given that, on his view, it is false.
Critiques of Science
11. Feminist critiques of science. Is the very notion of objectivity, or at least our current understanding of it, sexist?
possible readings include: Okruhlik, in Curd & Cover text
Ginzberg, "Uncovering Gynocentric Science" -- provocative suggestions about how feminist science might be different
Given the number of biologists in our class, we might want to look at feminist critiques of biology. Some possibilities, from Janet Kourany's text The Gender of Science:
Ruth Hubbard, "Have Only Men Evolved?"
Sarah Blaffer Hrdy, "Empathy, Polyandry, and the Myth of the Coy Female"
Biology and Gender Study Group, "The Importance of Feminist Critique for Contemporary Cell Biology"
12. Social Studies of Science.
Some philosophers, sociologists, and anthropologists have argued that a social-scientific understanding of science can lead to a fairly radical critique of the conception of science held by many scientists. In particular, it has been suggested that social studies of science can reveal that science does not discover an independently existing reality, but rather constructs a reality of its own.
There's a vast literature here. An influential book that I find provocative and interesting to discuss (although frankly I think it's crazy) is Bruno Latour and Larry Woolgar, Laboratory Life. A philosophical critique that I haven't read but looks interesting is Andre Kukla, Social Constructivism and the Philosophy of Science. A book I haven't seen but would like to get hold of is Ian Hacking, The Social Construction of What?
Science and Ideology: Case Studies
All of the following topics concern areas where scientific research and ideological issues get tangled up. Each involves both scientific claims that certain scientific results have politically sensitive consequences, and critics who claim that the work isn't really scientific at all but is ideologically driven. In the case of sociobiology and evolutionary psychology, we even have debates about whether the purported science is scientific at all, or is really a form of pseudoscience.
13. Climate Change
A topic suggested by a member of the class. I haven't had a chance to look for literature on this, but I'm sure we could find some. Or we could read some primary stuff and do our own philosophizing about it. I've read some discussions of the "Climategate" emails, but it might be interesting to read the emails themselves, and the reports of some of the investigating committees that looked at them, and think about what this might show about the relation between science and politics, the possibility of objectivity, and perhaps whether there are special problems about confirmation in a subject like climate science.
14. Intelligence
selection from The Bell Curve
Ned Block, critical essay on The Bell Curve
selection from other criticisms and defenses (e.g. essays in The New Republic and in National Review, or from the volume The Bell Curve Debate)
also relevant: research on sex differences, below
15. Sociobiology
selection from Wilson, On Human Nature
selection from Kitcher, Abusing Science
16. Research on sex differences. This became a hot topic a couple of years ago when Lawrence Summers, then the president of Harvard University (and currently [March 2011] Director of the White House National Economic Council), made some off-the-cuff remarks at a conference in which he suggested that it was worth considering whether the relatively small numbers of women in science and engineering had to do with innate sex differences.
selection from Longino, Science as Social Knowledge
maybe some stuff about the Summers flap
Anne Fausto-Sterling, "A Question of Genius: Are Men Really Smarter than Women?" -- detailed overview of a lot of research on supposed sex differences in intelligence, from a feminist perspective
Some further possible topics and readings (I'm guessing that these are less likely to be of interest this time around, but I could be wrong)
17. Realism and anti-realism. There are at least two distinguishable issues here. (1) Realistic vs. instrumentalistic interpretations of quantum theory. One dispute over quantum mechanics is really a special case of a general dispute over whether theoretical entities in science should be regarded realistically or not. The special interest of quantum mechanics in this regard is that its picture of the subatomic world is so weird and difficult to interpret that it is especially tempting to regard it as just a collection of helpful mathematical tools, without taking seriously the idea that all aspects of those tools correspond to real phenomena. (2) Realism vs. anti-realism about the nature of the world. Supposing we construe quantum theory realistically, as making genuine claims about the world, there is a further issue about what sort of view of the world it forces us to have. (This is where debates about the "interpretation" of QM enter the picture; one could regard instrumentalism as making the claim that it doesn't need an interpretation at all.) Two related questions are especially relevant, namely (a) is "determinism" compatible with QM? (Writers on QM typically mean by "determinism" the view that certain quantities have determinate values, not the view that later states are determined by earlier ones.) (b) Are there properties of the world which are observer-dependent? Some writers suggest that certain states take on definite values only when observed, so that observation doesn't just record what is already there but in some sense determines the make-up of the world. This can be made to sound a lot like the idealism of Berkeley or perhaps Hegel. Among the potentially helpful readings on this topic are these:
Bas C. van Fraassen, The Scientific Image, esp. Chapters 1 and 2. Defends an anti-realist view. This book doesn't have much to say about quantum physics, but an article by van Fraassen, "The Charybdis of Realism: Epistemological Implications of Bell's Inequality," Synthese 52 (1982): 25-38, argues that Bell's theorem refutes a version of realism.
Arthur Fine, The Shaky Game: Einstein, Realism, and the Quantum Theory (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1986). Chapter 6 explains the sense in which Einstein was a realist. Chapters 7 and 8 defend an alternative to both realism and anti-realism, and Chapter 9 takes up the general issue of whether scientific realism is compatible with quantum physics. (Fine says "yes.")
Nancy Cartwright, How the Laws of Physics Lie (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1983). Chapters 4 and 5 defend realism about theoretical entities; 5 includes a discussion of Duhem and van Fraassen. (Chapter 9, "How the Measurement Problem is an Artefact of the Mathematics," may also be of interest.)
Marshall Spector, "Mind, Matter, and Quantum Mechanics," in Patrick Grim's rather wildly misnamed collection, Philosophy of Science and the Occult, is an interesting deflationary discussion of the role of the observer in QM.
Of course there are many popular accounts of relevant material. I suppose everyone has their personal favorites; by far the clearest and most impressive presentation I've read in recent years is Brian Greene, The Fabric of the Cosmos (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2004). I'm also partial to the books of Paul Davies (e.g. Other Worlds; God and the New Physics).
18. Quantum logic. A number of writers have proposed that quantum mechanics requires us (or at least invites us) to revise the classical laws of logic. This topic should only be tackled by someone with a fairly firm grasp of classical logic. Possible readings include:
Arthur Fine, "Some Conceptual Problems of Quantum Theory," in Colodny, ed., Paradigms and Paradoxes (Pittsburgh: University of Pittsburgh Press, 1972). A good first place to look.
Hilary Putnam, "The Logic of Quantum Mechanics," in Mathematics, Matter, and Method: Philosophical Papers Volume 1, Second Edition (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1979). A fairly introductory presentation, with discussion of philosophical issues about whether revising classical logic in the light of empirical facts makes any sense. Putnam returns to the issue of quantum logic in "Quantum Mechanics and the Observer," in Realism and Reason: Philosophical Papers Volume 3 (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1983).
R.I.G. Hughes, The Structure and Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics (Cambridge: Harvard University Press, 1989), especially Chapter 7. Too hard for me, but might be useful for someone with a good mathematical background.
Bas C. van Fraassen, Quantum Mechanics: An Empiricist View (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1991). Parts of this are also almost certainly too hard for me, but other parts look accessible; thought I'd mention it since it is by an author we are becoming somewhat familiar with.
19. More on Evolutionary Psychology
In addition to Pinker and Fodor, which are already on our syllabus:
Steven Jay Gould, two-part essay in New York Review of Books
responses to Gould from Dennett, Pinker
Cosmides and Tooby, eds., The Adapted Mind

I guess I'd work to make sure that I had enough of everything so that during your first few months working, you could have an almost non-existent grocery budget, easing the swing back into your normal budget.

Not a big help with ideas, here, but I go through 1 box of Mother's Milk tea a week. I double up on my bags so I'm not drinking it all day. I drink a double bagged cup in the morning and a single bag in the afternoon. And my son is 10 mos old. All that to say, I could easily end up going through 24 boxes as I went back to work when he was 6 mos old and I'll be pumping during the day until he's 12 mos old. At around $5.00/box, that's $120 right there.
Now, I'm at the point where my supply is dropping and this weekend I'll be buying More Milk or More Milk Plus. I don't know whether one can use FS to buy these, but, it's something to consider as they are more pricey than the tea. Or Fenugreek capsules. I think that's the supplement that enhances milk supply.

Major milestones of Mike Hussey's cricket career
- From: News Corp Australia Network
- January 03, 2013
HE didn't make his Test debut until the age of 30, and Mike Hussey didn't hesitate in making up for lost time. Take a look back at some of the key dates in Mr Cricket's career.
November 4-7, 1994-95
Scores 16 on debuts as an opener for Western Australia.
August 14-17, 2003
Hussey's incredible form in Enlish county cricket reaches a pinnacle when he becomes only the third man to amass three County Championship triple-hundreds. His 331 for Northamptonshire against Somerset in 2003 follows the 310 and 329 in his previous two seasons with the side. His averages in England (79 in 2001, 72 in 2002, 89 in 2003, 36 in 2004 and 76 in 2005) eventually make him impossible for Australia's selectors to ignore.
The year Hussey finally comes to national attention. In his first ODI for Australia in February, he ends up unbeaten on 17. Remarkably, he isn't dismissed until his sixth innings. In his first Twenty20 game, he scores 31 off 15 balls. Goes on to captain the Australia A team to Pakistan and lead Durham in England's county championship during the 2005 northern summer.
His accomplished batting all year, and especially during the one-day series ahead of the Ashes, left many English critics perplexed as to why he was not in the Test squad. On the eve of his eventual Test debut late in the year, Hussey's one-day international average required a double-take: 123.5 from 18 matches.
Mr Cricket's career in pictures
November 3-6, 2005
A broken rib suffered by Hussey's WA teammate Justin Langer finally opened the door for Hussey to don a baggy green against the West Indies after what the Herald Sun described as "the most exhaustive apprenticeship in Australian cricket". With 15,313 first-class runs at 52.8, no Australian had scored more runs than the then-30-year-old before making their Test debut
Hussey was walking along a Perth beach with his wife and daughter when he got the call to "get on a plane to Brisbane as soon as possible". Langer, though disappointed not to play, was delighted for his good friend: "I've watched him since he was an 18-year-old kid and I'm not sure I've ever met a guy who wants to wear the baggy green cap as much as Mike Hussey does."

On the eve of the Test, Matthew Hayden revealed Hussey's dressing room nickname, and had some prescient words of praise for his new opening partner: "The boys all call him Mr Cricket, the consummate professional, a really great little character,'' Hayden said. "The great sign for me is that he's 30 and it's still like he's 20, still trying to improve as a cricketer. The Test arena is all about great characters and I think he's got one of them.''
But kind words counted for little once the Test began. After taking 13 balls to register his first Test run, a nudge past short leg, from the next ball Hussey tried to pull a short ball and skied a catch.

His second innings saw him make 29, enough to give him another shot in the second Test in Hobart, where he followed up with two centuries, including a classy 137.
December 27, 2005
After two more centuries, Hussey's best innings to date came at the MCG on Day 2 of the Boxing Day Test against South Africa.
Australia was struggling at 9-248 when Glenn McGrath walked to the crease with Hussey on 27. What followed was one of the greatest-ever 10th-wicket-partnerships that earned Hussey the mantle of "the next Adam Gilchrist" in the next day's Australian.

"In just his fifth Test, Hussey not only manipulated the bowling during his 107-run 10th wicket partnership with McGrath but humiliated the tourists' attack with hitting so clean it smacked of (Gilchrist)," Andrew Ramsey wrote.
"But it was the surety more than the savagery that framed his 122 from 203 balls faced as an innings of a long-term Test batsman."
It marked Hussey out as a salvage specialist after his 133 against the Windies in Adelaide the previous month, when he and Stuart MacGill were thrown together with Australia 8-295 in the first innings. The pair compiled a ninth-wicket stand of 93, with Hussey totalling 133 not out. He ended the campaign with a career-high 182 against Bangladesh in Chittagong.
5 December, 2006
Hussey's personal choice as the best day of his Test cricket career. After announcing his retirement, he singled out scoring the winning runs in the legendary second Ashes Test in Adelaide as the memory he'll treasure most.
England declared for 551 in their first innings before collapsing in the second, losing their last nine wickets for 60 runs. Australia required 168 after tea on the final day for an improbable victory.

After Justin Langer and Matthew Hayden were caught, Hussey was pushed up the batting order to take his place on the crease with Ricky Ponting. Ponting and Damien Martyn fell, but Hussey held firm alongside Michael Clarke.
His 61 not out included the winning runs with three overs to spare, sparking wild celebrations after one of the greatest Test wins in memory.

Hussey went on to become the fastest man to reach 1000 Test runs, and held a batting average of 86.18 after consecutive centuries against Sri Lanka in November 2007.
28 April, 2007
Despite scintillating form at Test level, the first signs of Michael Hussey's sporting mortality on the international stage came in early 2007.
His captaincy of the one-day side began in ignominy, with Australia smashed 3-0 by New Zealand in the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy. Along with a loss to England in the finals of the Commonwealth Bank Series, it meant the one-day side entered the 2007 World Cup in a downbeat mood.
Hussey's first four innings at the tournament were single figures, he didn't bat in the semi-final or final and ended up with 87 runs for the tournament despite Australia's march to victory.

However, as testament to his renowned status as a team-first player, during his retirement announcement Hussey singled out the World Cup final victory over Sri Lanka in Barbados as one of the highlights of his career, ranking it right up with the 5-0 Ashes sweep of England, in which he had played a far more pivotal role.
August 23, 2009
Hussey had gone 15 Tests without a century before breaking his drought with a brave late stand in the final Test of the 2009 Ashes at The Oval.
After building a partnership of 127 with Ricky Ponting, Hussey lost his captain and then Michael Clarke in successive overs. Despite steadying the ship with Brad Haddin, it was too late to save Australia's Ashes hopes.

Hussey's was the final wicket to fall, caught by Alistair Cook at short leg as England won the match by 197 runs to claim a 2–1 series win.
25-29 November, 2010
Hussey's form had dipped during 2010 and many were calling for him to be dropped ahead of the 2010/11 Ashes series. Typically, he answered the naysayers in spectacular fashion, scoring a magnificent 195 at the Gabba, his best-ever Test score.
As he watched from the Channel 9 commentary box, Richie Benaud declared it "the most valuable innings he has ever played for Australia".
The on-pitch reaction of the usually understated Hussey upon reaching his century showed how much the innings meant to him. As Peter Badel wrote: "When he reached his 12th Test ton from 197 balls after punching Stuart Broad through covers, Hussey produced more fist pumps than Lleyton Hewitt.

"He ripped off his helmet. He roared in delight. He gave Haddin a bear hug. He roared again. He had walked the (baggy) green mile, and survived. After spending the past year fighting to justify his place in the Test side, the 35-year-old batted on comforted by the fact he is safe for the summer."

The Test ended in a draw, and as Australia ultimately failed in their bid to reclaim the urn, Hussey was one of the few shining lights, scoring 93 and 52 at Adelaide and 61 and 116 in Brisbane in Australia's only win of the series.
29 December, 2012
The day on which Mr Cricket made the announcement that few, if any, in the sport saw coming. After the demolition of Sri Lanka in Melbourne, Hussey declared that the SCG Test would be his last.
After a year in which he had scored centuries against India, South Africa and Sri Lanka - scores often overshadowed by the incredible numbers being posted by captain Michael Clarke - and averaging 79.16 for the summer, most would have agreed Hussey was close to his best and still had another Ashes in him.
Mike Hussey pictured with his four children, Oscar, Molly, Jasmin & Will after announcing his retirement. Picture: Valeriu Campan
Not Hussey though, who decided that he needed to spend more time with his young family and lacked the drive required to do a Test spot justice in 2013.
He left in typically understated fashion – his departure announced on the same day as Tony Greig's death – with words of praise ringing in his ears from colleagues and opponents around the world, and more than a few relieved comments from the English cricket fraternity.

WrestleMania 29 is so close that Superstars and fans can nearly taste the excitement. As we prepare to witness action on the grandest stage of them all, however, those within the company have to be wondering one thing.
What would the best outcomes be for the WWE?
This may not appeal to fans or be what the wrestling marks want to hear. With that being said, these predictions would go a long way toward benefiting the WWE in the short or long term.
So what would transpire if the WWE was thinking on the premise of solely what was good for the company?
