Hardie Board Siding and Wind
We are in the process of deciding which type of siding to put on our house. The house is 60 years old and generally in excellent shape, however, the current siding is in need of replacement. We have looked around a lot and come to the conclusion that lap siding from James Hardie Company is our best choice.
While talking to a friend about our decision, he told me to watch out for Hardie Board. My friend has a friend who is a contractor (don't we all). The contractor told my friend's friend that Hardie Board can be a problem in windy areas. We live in a windy area. Supposedly, the wind will get under the Hardie Board and sort of vibrate it which, in turn, will loosen the nails and enlarge the nail holes.
I wolud appreciate hearing from anyone that has experience with Hardie Board regarding this or other related problems.
Never heard of that. Example: We installed it on a house literally right on a beach about 5 years ago. Still on that house good and strong.
If someone had an issue in regards to the siding coming off in anything but a serious major storm, I think issues like: sheathing material, sheathing attachment methods, siding fastener choices, etc... should be looked at as a major contributing factor.
The link below is the "Legacy Report" off the James Hardie website. Pages 18 to 28 cover the product's (Hardiplank) maximum designed wind speed load, exposure amount, fastener requirements, etc - based on several different national and regional codes:
I've had a similar product on a house for 10 years, and never had a problem with it BTW located in the mid west, VERY strong winds when the tornado season hits. I never replaced my siding, can't say the same for my neighbors vinyl. You always have the option of face nailing.

text: First post great site! I'm considering the purchase of a 2002 Escalade. I'm upgrading from a full size chevy blazer 1991. I was surprised to find there's no low gear (2H-4H-4L) 4wd selector. Apparently this is not the norm anymore (full time AWD). Would this cause a problem pulling a 5000lbs boat up a steep wet ramp? I'm sure a few members here are boat owners? I asked the dealership and was told the 'tow-haul' button has replaced the low gear transfercase. Isn't that just for higher shift points and no overdrive? Really appreciate any comments or feedback. Thanxs!

LeBron has a locker?
By Matt McCoy
The Buckeye basketball programs unveiled their $19 million practice facility and it is impressive. From the state of the art weight and training rooms, to the practice courts to the players lounge, it's top notch.
But all the new bells and whistles did not draw the reaction that a single locker in the men's basketball dressing room did.
LeBron James, one of the most polarizing figures for sports fans in Ohio, has his own locker.
"We always want to pay our respect to him for what he did for us in 2007," Ohio State coach Thad Matta said. "We were the first LeBron school (outfitted in LBJ Nike gear) and obviously we get tremendous product from him and I know he's very proud of what he does for us."
To hear Coach Matta's thoughts on the new facility click HERE:
The ulterior motive for Matta and the Buckeye basketball program to recognize James is clear...recruiting. When a 15 or 16 year old basketball prodigy tours that locker room and sees the James locker and learns that the NBA's biggest star is a supporter of your program, it has to help.
While the James locker catches your attention, the facility as a whole is eye-popping. Here's a peek.
The new practice court...one of two in the facility. The men's and women's teams will no longer have to share court time.
Center court at the new practice gym. Thad Matta said the only thing he specifically asked was that the court replicate the one on the main floor of the Schott.
The weight room will be used by both the men's and women's basketball teams, the hockey teams as well as a few other varsity sports. It is more than twice the size of the previous facility in the Schottenstein Center.
The therapy pool in the training room. It is Ohio State track star Christina Manning using it.
Michael Redd donated $500,000 and has his name on the Mens locker room
The players lounge inside the mens locker room. The womens locker room has an area exactly like this as well.
The video screen at the front of a theatre style room is connected to the locker area.

10 Years Later, Meyer and Long Meet Again
In 2003, Urban Meyer coached Utah in a game against New Mexico and lost 47-35. It turned out to be Meyer's last loss with the Utes who won their final four games that season and followed it up with a 12-0 record in 2004. From there, Meyer became the head coach at Florida.
The coach of that New Mexico team was Rocky Long, who is now the head coach at San Diego State who visit the Buckeyes Saturday.
"They got after us pretty good. Our defense took a beating that day that I'm not sure I can remember our defense ever taking before," Meyer said of his 2003 loss to Long on the Big 10 teleconference. "(Long is) a very tough, physical (coach) and believes in pounding the ball."
Long coached the Aztecs to a 9-4 record last year but 2013 started in disaster, a 40-19 loss to FCS school Eastern Illinois. The Buckeyes are 28 point favorites.

Probability: I literally try to think of the odds of everything. It's kind of been forced upon me by my major.

In my previous post Velocity® Facial Cleanser I offered a solution to your acne problems through our Mary Kay product called Velocity. I explained how when I was younger I took care of my acne problem by taking charge of the problem and used what was available at the time. I also explained how Velocity would work for you.
Well, I am here today to tell you that we will no longer be offering Velocity Acne Treatment any more coming this fall 2013. I'm so excited to announce that starting in the fall we will be introducing a new line of acne treatment system called Clearproof™. I will present you with a brief description.
And now, introducing…
This new system consists of:
- Clear Proof™ Clarifying Cleansing Gel‡
- Clear Proof™ Blemish Control Toner‡
- Clear Proof™ Acne Treatment Gel‡
- Clear Proof™ Oil-free Moisturizer for Acne Prone Skin
In an independent consumer study†, 8 out of 10 people said that the Clear Proof™ Acne System clears up pimples fast! Here's what else they had to say†:
- My complexion looks clearer – 84%
- Helps clear up pimples better than what I've been using – 77%
- Reduces the severity of acne blemishes – 82%
- Fades the look of lingering acne spots – 80%
- Minimizes the appearance of pores – 85%
†Results reflect the percentage of panelists who agreed with the statements during a three-week independent consumer study.
‡Over-the-counter drug product
This product is for:
- Those who are looking for an effective yet gentle regimen for treating your mild to moderate acne.
- A teen, or a mom who buys acne products for her teen and wants a multi-faceted approach to clearing up blemishes and preventing new breakouts from forming.
- Clear Proof™ Clarifying Cleansing Gel‡
- Clear Proof™ Blemish Control Toner‡
- Clear Proof™ Acne Treatment Gel‡
- Clear Proof™ Oil-free Moisturizer for Acne Prone Skin
‡Over-the-counter drug product
How It Works:
The Clear Proof™ Acne System uses a combination of salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide to attack the multiple factors that can contribute to acne breakouts. Salicylic acid acts like an exfoliant to promote the easy removal of dead skin cells. As such, it helps keep pores unclogged and reduce the build-up of P. acnes bacteria. Benzoyl peroxide (BPO), on the other hand, is an oxygen-releasing ingredient that kills bacteria. P. acnes bacteria flourish when there's a lack of oxygen, like in a clogged pore. By creating an oxygen-rich environment, BPO can help reduce the number of P. acnes bacteria that can cause lesions to form. It also can help in dissolving the buildup of dead skin cells.
So that's the 411 on the new Clear Proof Acne System from Mary Kay. Remember it is not yet available until the fall of 2013. The links I provided are For Presentation Only. Please check back in on these links when the product is available in the fall to order them.
UPDATE!!! As of March 2014!
Clear Proof Acne System is now available! Also available is Clear Proof Acne System The Go Set if you only want to try it out for a week! Order yours with me and any order over $75 will receive a free gift and free shipping in the USA!

Decio Pasta has made a great name for itself in the premium pasta market. We have been featured on many different avenues across the nation which include television shows, magazine ads, and newspapers. The following are just a few of the great reviews that Decio Pasta always receives!
Lotsa Pasta - Want to create a pasta dinner more interesting than plain ol' spaghetti? DeCio Pasta makes handmade noodles in its Tempe-based facility that can add life to your pasta bowl. Linguine varieties like Artichoke Hearts, Chili Cilantro, Red Bell Pepper, Wild Mushroom, and Szechuan Orange Spice are so flavorful that you don't even need an elaborate sauce. Looking for a creative housewarming gift? DeCio Pasta also sells gift baskets that are packaged in a colander and filled with pasta, olive oil, sun-dried tomatoes, and a wooden pasta rake. DeCio Pasta can be found at the following retailers: AJ's Fine Foods, Wild Oats, and Whole Foods Market, or purchased online at www.deciopasta.com.
Chic Eats - New gourmet noodles - Proof that the pasta craze isn't getting older, it's getting better: these eye catching bundles of tagliarini (very fine linguini). You've probably tried pretty, colored vegetable pastas before— they look good yet they taste basically the same as the regular kind. But these noodles are real standouts— each one spiked with herbs and spices to give it a distinctive flavor all its own. And they're so savory they need only a smidgen of sauce (a touch of olive oil, light tomato sauce, even a squeeze of lemon will do it) —and that's great calorie-sparing news. Made by DeCio Pasta, you'll find them in gourmet, grocery, and health-food stores across the country, at prices a little steeper than most brands, though well worth the splurge.
Cybill, other celebs are passionate about pasta - Pass the pasta, but hold the sauce. Flavored noodles are all the rage—DeCio Pasta makes some 22 versions, including Artichoke Hearts and Szechuan Orange Spice. Fans include Cybil Shepherd and Michael J. Fox. Try them plain with a little extra virgin olive oil, garlic, and grated cheese.
Who: DeCio Pasta - Scott Morrison, chef and chief executive officer.
When established: The company was founded by Rebeca DeFalco and Gary Ciminello in 1985. Morrison bought the company a little over fourteen years ago.
What: Handcrafted pasta in nearly four dozen flavors that does not cook away. "It's pure pasta," Morrison explained "No preservatives, no eggs, and it's because we use real vegetables and herbs with the best semolina. The color in the pasta is real not from any dyes and there is actually protein, vitamins and calcium in it."
Where: Based in Tempe, sold online, and at Arts and Crafts festivals throughout Arizona, Nevada, California, select AJ's Fine Foods, farmers' markets, several wineries, and smaller gourmet stores.
How much to get started: "Twenty-five thousand is enough to run things for the first three months," states Morrison.
Employees: Ten employees and several distributors.
Why it's called that: DeCio is a combination of the original owners names. "Lets face it, would you buy a pasta called Morrison's?", says Morrison.
Bright idea: "Continuing to develop flavors and products, selling the product at art festivals, and finally realizing that giving people a sample creates sales." was Morrison's response. Morrison added, "people from Arizona support Arizona business. Tourists like to try local products and when they go home they order online."
Not such a good idea: "We had quite a few when we started out!" said Hazel Morrison, the office administrator and self-described "chief of whatever needs to be done in the office or packing area." Her son said, " When I started, I would do only one festival or farmer's market a weekend. If that got rained out or sales weren't good it was a bad weekend. It just works better to do at least two or three events every weekend."
Biggest Challenge: "Like any small business our biggest challenge initially was cash flow. Now that we're doing more shows each week and have added some catering as well we are on a steadier track," states Morrison.
Why I do this: "I don't play well with others! No really, when I finished at Scottsdale Culinary Institute I had already been working at different restaurants and caterers and I knew I wanted to do something on my own. So I figured out how to put together a business plan. The only problem was I was 21 and no one would loan me any money at all. For this reason when I started I did this during the day and then taught at SCI from 6 p.m. until midnight. Most importantly, I love doing this."
What he wishes he'd known before opening for business: "How hard it would be, it's been a roller coaster. When I started I just thought I could make it work and it would take two or three years at most. It's now been seven years and it's labor intensive. We outsource nothing and I also do a lot of the festivals by myself, so there's rarely any weekend off."
The next big thing: Primarily expanding the square footage and adding a full-scale commercial kitchen and more storage by taking over the space next door. "I'm going to go back to doing dessert pasta, I have been playing with flavors for that. We also plan on expanding our catering operation. We will be doing much more when we move next spring," replied Morrison.
Long-term: "I want to see how big I can make it. Eventually, I would like to have a bunch of gourmet food lines," stated Morrison.
Exit strategy: "I'm young, why would I want an exit strategy?" was Morrison's response. (Seriously - Morrison like any good business owner, works regulary with his accountants and an attorney in figuring out his next steps.)
Bottom line: Morrison hand crafts somewhere around 4,000 pounds of pasta per week and because of its unique taste and quality Morrison states the following, "I don't see most pasta as competition. We can't make it fast enough. This year is our breakout year."
Chef for the Lavish Life - Meet Chef Scott Morrison, owner of DeCio Pasta and one of our favorite chefs to the lavish life. An extensively traveled international explorer well before he entered grade school, Morrison was born in England and was raised in Hong Kong, Singapore and Manila. His well-traveled childhood and young adulthood exposed him to many tastes and traditions. This exposure, coupled with the history of culinary genius in his family, made Morrison's own entrance to the culinary world a natural progression.
After graduating from The Scottsdale Culinary Institute Le Cordon Bleu program, Morrison taught Basic Culinary at the school for over two years. This experience as an instructor prepared him for his role as a "show chef" for the Viking Culinary and Special Events venue at Sunwest and for his own companies, DeCio Pasta, DeCio Catering, and DeCio Team Building.
But first, let's talk about the pasta! When Morrison was presented with the opportunity to reestablish DeCio Pasta, he jumped at it. After purchasing the business and breathing new life into it, DeCio Pasta has become his pride and joy and is reaping the benefits of his attention to detail and dedication to preparing quality pasta.
"When I graduated from The Scottsdale Culinary Institue, I decided I would provide my clients with the finest pasta available, anywhere," says Morrison. "After six years of research, I can now offer over 20 varieties [of pasta.]" Chef's hands-on approach to DeCio's pasta creations means he personally chooses the finest ingredients and practices time-tested methods to create unique flavors and the wonderful texture found only in handmade pasta.
For the refined, well-traveled palate, a few of his best-selling flavors include spinach basil garlic, tomato basil garlic, lemon pepper, the award-winning herb d'Italia, wild mushroom, artichoke hearts, and Szechuan orange spice, chili cilantro, red bell pepper and saffron. Pair your pick with a splash of extra virgin olive oil and your favorite vintage-absolutely heavenly. The great news is that in addition to AJ's Fine Foods, Wild Oats and Whole Foods Market, DeCio pasta is available online at www.deciopasta.com so no matter where business, travels, and life take you, you're never far from a comforting taste!
Morrison has also been fortunate enough to combine two of the loves of his life: cooking, and cruising the open road. Through DeCio Catering, high-performance Chef Morrison hosts events at the Bob Bondurant School of High Performance Driving. It seems that Morrison has also taken a bit of team building advice of his own from Bob. Anyone familiar with Bondurant knows that his pooch Rusty really pulls the strings. Morrison found his match in Noodles, his one-year-old puppy, a purebred pit bull. Since Noodles would love a taste of what's cooking, this CDO (chief dog officer) is strictly relegated to office work and a number of pet-friendly culinary festivals across the country.
A Certified Executive Chef at the age of 24, Morrison has been in the hospitality industry for many years and has shared his culinary craft at many local Valley resorts and restaurants. Now, those who adore his pasta and personality can get up close and personal with this pasta-papa. As one of the exclusive chefs and caterers for The Viking Culinary and Special Event's Venue at Sunwest, Morrison offers intimate and exciting demonstrations for private and corporate special events. This showroom features a studio set kitchen with culinary themed decor and top-of-the-line Viking appliances. "I really enjoy working with Viking appliances so the showroom is almost a second home to me," says Morrison.
DeCio Team Building, an extension of DeCio Pasta, offers unique corporate team building events with menus like Fire and Smoke BBQ, Dessert, Kamikaze Sushi Pilots and, of coarse, the Pasta Pasta menu. DeCio Catering offers a variety of customizable menus with themes ranging from continental cuisine and Brazilian, to Asian Fusion. DeCio Catering is a favorite of hometown sports heroes like former Raider AC Caswell and his bud, former Cowboy Damon Mayes. Celebrities like Cybill Shepherd and Michael J. Fox are raving about DeCio pasta, too.
With attention to detail, culinary creativity and intoxicating personality, Morrison has truly made an impact on the cuisine of the lavish lifestyle.
Invite Chef Scott to your next affair for a perfect pasta-and more-experience.

Down N Outz
Sometimes the most interesting of projects arise from the most unusual of
circumstances. So it is that the Down 'N' Outz is a project fronted by Def
Leppard's Joe Elliott, backed by The Quireboys and playing rare tracks
connected only by Mott The Hoople.
Joe Elliott takes up the story, "When Mott The Hoople announced they were reforming for a week's worth of shows at the Hammersmith Odeon I was asked that I participate in some capacity. They've always been my favourite band and it's nice to see the rest of the rock world finally catch up and give them their due."
The Down 'N Outz supported Mott The Hoople at one of their legendary 2009 reformation shows at Hammersmith Odeon. In addition to Joe Elliott (Vocals/Guitar/Keyboards) the band featured The Quireboys' Paul Guerin (Guitar), Guy Griffin (Guitar), Keith Weir (keyboards) and Phil Martini (drums) and finally bassist Ronnie Garrity (Raw Glory). Following a rapturous reception the one night project took on a life and energy of its own and an album project was born.
Down 'N Outz then set about recording an album's worth of material. The album was produced by Joe Elliott with co-production by Ronan McHugh. The album was recorded at Joe Elliott's own studio Joe's Garage and Moor Hall studio in Bedfordshire.

A corporation is a formal way to organize your business to gain rights and privileges, and to limit your personal liability. There may be tax and financial advantages to incorporation, but it can also increase your business licensing fees and decrease the amount of personal control you have in running your business. There are many legal consequences to incorporation, so it's a good idea to consult an attorney specializing in corporate law. A corporate attorney also represents shareholders unhappy with the actions of a corporation.

How Long To Keep Financial Records
Tax returns and other documentsYour tax return is a copy of what you send to the IRS every April. It's basically a financial snapshot of your life, from a taxation perspective. Included in that pile of financial records are paycheck stubs and records that support your deductions, such as receipts.
How long should you keep it?
There's not really a definitive time frame for how long you should keep tax records as it depends on how long the IRS can come after you for a certain transaction. In other words, different records need to be kept for different lengths of time, which is between two and seven years. But you don't need to be a lawyer to figure out what to keep and what to toss. To make things simple, keep all your tax records for the maximum period — seven years. Once that time frame has elapsed, proceed to shred the seven-year record all at once, rather than culling through each year's returns wondering which documents to keep and which to throw out.
Side note: Technically, the IRS has 10 years to assess taxes that you didn't pay. While you should always file a return, guys who find themselves in the situation of facing a 10-year inquisition from the IRS will want all their records from the past decade. On the whole, you can avoid this unpleasant situation by filing your taxes.
Canceled checks and receiptsThese documents include records for mortgage payments, alimony and charitable contributions. A lot of these records will overlap with what you might call your tax documents, but they are a smaller group under the larger heading of "tax."
How long should you keep it?
The IRS has three years to audit your return. So, you'll want to hang onto these records for three years.
IRA contributionsThese are records of the money that you contribute to retirement savings plans, like a 401(K). You receive statements on these plans — which tell you how much money you made and how much you presently have in the account — once per quarter with a summary at the end of the year.
How long should you keep it?
You'll want to hang onto records of your contributions indefinitely (basically until you withdraw the money during your retirement) to prove that you already paid the tax on it. As for the statements, dump the quarterly records once you match the figures with the annual statement. Keep the yearly records until you retire or close the account.
How long to keep your bank records, your brokerage statements and more…

Sometimes it feels like modern games coddle players. There was a time when beating a game meant sitting down and battling through it in one sitting. If you were lucky the developer employed a password system that would bring you back to the start of whatever level you were on. Now we have checkpoints after every minor battle and constant autosave systems. We have unlimited lives and omnipresent hint systems. Gamers today often find their only challenge in competitive multiplayer; someone on the other end creates a challenge where the developers couldn't.
I mention this because Super Meat Boy is hard as hell. I had every intention to finish the game before reviewing it, but I couldn't. This isn't to say I can't beat this game or that I won't; god help me I will finish this game. However my conquest has eluded me due to a perfect storm of tortuously difficult levels and sheer content overload.
Super Meat Boy is, on the surface, a simple platformer where you lead a skinless flesh bag through a carnival of dangers with the elemental power of wall jumping. Dig deeper and you will begin to notice how tight the controls are. With practice you'll find yourself recreating the exact same jump time and time again. You'll start to feel how button press duration affects your trajectory and how a running start affects your momentum.
And then you will die, a lot, and eventually you'll grow to accept that too.
Life, Death, and more Death.
In Super Meat Boy, death is the norm. Oh sure, maybe you'll make it through the first dozen levels without dying. Hell, maybe you're really good and you'll breeze through that whole world without seeing your avatar splattered into a fountain of blood and sinew more than a handful of times. But eventually this game will catch you, and it will break you, and it will laugh and tell its friends about the whole thing.
Thankfully, death in Super Meat Boy comes at very little expense. The levels are small, so being forced to start over doesn't feel like a major setback. After dying, you are respawned at the start almost instantly. In platformers of the past, frustration generally sets in during the death sequence. To this day thoughts of MegaMan's death animation can still make my skin crawl. Super Meat Boy avoids this by never pulling you out of the fray, and that goes a long way towards keeping the game from ever being truly frustrating.
It's important to note that Super Meat Boy does not achieve kills through cheap tactics. When you die you know exactly what you did wrong. With the exception of a couple of boss battles, death doesn't sneak up on you. When you die in Super Meat Boy it's always for the exact same reason: you weren't perfect.
You're the best! Around!
Super Meat Boy is an exercise in perfection. Some of the most difficult levels present their challenge by demanding perfection from the player. You'll need to have perfect timing to avoid an oncoming laser beam. You'll need to jump at the perfect angle to squeeze between two saw blades. This is about learning a system of gameplay and becoming perfect at it, and your reward is the unmitigated rush of adrenaline you get when you succeed.
But Super Meat Boy does not just require perfection, it demonstrates it. On display here is some of the best level design since Super Metroid. I lost count how many times I jumped directly into a trap placed there by a team who obviously took the time to play their own game. With a masterful pace the game introduces a new hazard or level element as soon as you start to get the hang of the old ones. It slowly builds an arsenal of weapons with which to torment you, and then it clicks off the safety.
Is it worth the price?
When games are released on console download services, value for price always seems to be a major topic of conversation. Super Meat Boy will be released for 1200 MS points (or 15 real-person dollars), which is the price point most often associated with the question "Is it worth that?" This is always a very personal decision, but all I can say is that Super Meat Boy packs an absolute ton of content. The normal game has well over a hundred normal levels. Add to that the "Dark World" levels (mega difficult versions unlocked by beating the normal level fast enough) and that number doubles. There are also hidden "Warp Zones" in each world that contain a handful of retro-themed levels and the promise of entire worlds free to download in the future through XBL's title-managed storage system. When was the last time you played a game with potentially 350+ levels?
Adding to the value are the Super Meat Boy's myriad unlockable characters. The list reads like a who's who of indie gaming heroes. Tim from Braid, the ninja from N+, and Edmund McMillen's own Gish are just a few playable characters. Each has their own unique gameplay mechanic that dramatically affects how the levels play, so you'll find yourself replaying old levels with new characters just to clock a faster time.
Super Meat Boy is one of the most addicting experiences I've had with a controller in hand. The game is jam-packed with references to the classic games I played growing up: Castlevania, Street Fighter, Ninja Gaiden. Each world of Super Meat Boy features an intro movie that mimics one of the classic game intros of that generation. There's even a boss that tips off his attacks by blinking (see Punch-Out). But the most fitting tribute is the game itself, which is simultaneously a throwback and improvement upon those classic games. Though some gamers may be turned off by the near-constant death required to plow through this game, those who give it a chance will be rewarded with one of the best platformers released in this or any other generation. Super Meat Boy expects you to be perfect, because it is.
Rating: (5/5)

I have this scanner and it seems like it would work fine if the damn scanning software was worth a damn. First of all, if you want to scan directly into an application like acrobat and choose to show the native interface, the scanner always scans in color. Then in the interface where the scans show up there is no easy way to change it to greyscale or black and white without selecting every single damn page and changing the setting for each one. There is no way to select all the pages at once and change the setting. This is UNACCEPTABLE if the document is any large than maybe five pages and even then. WTF HP, I knew you became a crap company after so many years, but WTH. Don't your software programmers ever test anything or get feedback from trials?
If that weren't enough, if you try to solve the issue by hiding the native interface while scanning from adobe's dialogue the G*Damn scan won't work at all 50% of the time, especially if you have a document with more than 5 pages. When you do this, it will appear that the scan is sort of going ok, until the scanner gets done with the last page. Then it refuses to autosend the scans to the program and sits there. If you click on the adobe interface, you get a ping like as if there's a modal dialogue behind the adobe screen and you are at that point screwed. You have to kill the scan driver in task manager as well as acrobat. BTW, the other advantage of hiding HP's crappy interface is the only way to scan in greyscale or black and white as chosen in the acrobat dialogue. Additionally, the horrible HP interface setup dialogue gives no easy way to change between single sided and double sided prior to the scan. You have to set it up ahead of time!!!!
Overall these problems make the damn scanner next to useless. My old epson multipage scanner was vastly superior except it didn't do duplex.
BTW, HP's support is USELESS, they blame the adobe software and refuse to acknowledge their scanning software issues. They further refuse to return it and just direct me back to the place I got it.
I'm really, really pissed. I've spent 1000% more time than I should have to trying everything to get their crap to work.
I've even tried find third party interfaces without a hell of a lot of luck.

A new variety of sex symbol has invaded pop culture in the past few years.
That would be, of course, the fanged heartthrob.
Some go for the trenchcoat-wearing, broody vamp who glitters in the sun.
A smaller but still sizable percentage lust after the more R-rated yet gallant Vampire Bill from HBO's "True Blood." Then there are the hotties from TV's "The Vampire Diaries," not to mention oodles of paranormal romance novels that feature a vamp and a mortal in love.
John Vance, an English professor at the University of Georgia who also writes and directs plays and acts, was puzzling over this phenomenon when a thought occurred to him: "I wonder what the old boy would think of all this if he were around?" he asked himself.
That "old boy" would be Count Dracula, Bram Stoker's famous character who has taken hold of Vance's imagination before. Vance penned two other plays inspired by the most famous vampire tale: "Dracula: The Unending" in 1998 and "In Mind of Dracula" in 2005.
The playwright's pondering gave birth to his newest parody, "Dracula Comes to Atlanta," which runs Friday and Saturday at the Seney-Stovall Chapel.
With the show, Vance tried to capture a tone similar to Mel Brooks' "Young Frankenstein."
As "Dracula Comes to Atlanta" opens, the audience meets the great vampire, played by Vance, who is entering his seventh century. Age has started to take its toll. "Dracula has to go to the bathroom more than he ever had to before," Vance said.
As the title suggests, the play finds Dracula in Atlanta, where he plans to be interviewed by one of Stoker's descendants.
Vance selected the Georgia setting by a process of elimination.
Other writers already had set vampire stories in Transylvania, London and New Orleans.
"Well," he said, "I don't think anyone has done Atlanta yet."
Of note: Vance feels so close to his character, he tends to use the first person when talking about both himself and Dracula.
At one point in the interview, the Count describes Bluta and Nosferata, his two daughters.
Bluta, it seems, is a traditionalist chip off the old block. "She's like me," Vance, as Dracula, explains. "She loves the old ways."
Dracula took an exasperated tone when discussing his second child.
"Now, my other daughter was born in the 1950s," he explained. "So she's basically the rebellious-teenager type, and she wishes to accept as much of modern culture as possible, which infuriates me and her older sister."
The playwright describes his character as a bit of a fuddy-duddy vamp, who, like Vance, has not read any of the books or watched any of the films in "The Twilight Saga." "Like a typical parent who complains about something their child is watching that they've never seen," Vance said.
That doesn't, however, stop Dracula from railing about "the brooding and depressed teenage vampire who only wants to 'fit in.' "
It's enough, the great vampire complains in the play, to make him want "to take a holy wafer and jam it against my unholy forehead."
Vance made sure to include lines that examine how the culture has depicted Dracula and vampires since the early 20th century.
But while the playwright took care to weave this history - as well as his considerable studies of Stoker's book - into the play, he didn't worry about hunting down authentic-looking vampire fangs.
Vance pointed out that in "Interview with the Vampire," both Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt sometimes had slurred speech from wearing creature-of-the-night teeth.
"We're doing minimalist," he said.

the apps seem to be missing on mine so no streaming possible. connecting to internet service keeps timeing out and going no were wont stream
I just got the thing today. We actually have a similar one. It's a few years old and It's wired. We recently discovered that it works great for Netflix. We don't have to tie up a computer to run Netflix and it's simple. Very similar to any other video controller you have. So we started to wonder if there was one that is wireless, sure enough there is! It's got a great picture and is really fast. Not having to wire it opens up your world.
As for internet, well? It is theoretically possible but it's painful. I believe any used $100.00 PC would outperform this device as a computer. However, that cheap computer would in no way compare to the Model # BDP-S3100 downloading and streaming video. So there is a point here about using modern devices for what they are good at and not trying to force them uphill into tasks that will have disappointing results. Grab an HDMI cable before you leave the store, it doesn't come with one.
Got this brand new from Pixmania for £74.90 including postage, best I could find.
I need to hook up an extender (I think) the router is too far from the player, is an extender a possibility? if so which ones will work?
Great article Danny .:) For those who live outside US like me, you can access Netflix, Hulu and similar media stations on your Sony Blu Ray player by using UnoTelly or similar tools.

1 million units of the Google Nexus 4 were sold. While Google would not comment on the figure, the company did indicate that it was happy with how the phone has done so far in terms of sales. Meanwhile, the other day, XDA member draugaz said the 1,000,000th Google Nexus 4, a black model made on February 5th, was sold in Turkey. LG has really stepped up production of the phone. In October, just 70,000 units were made, rising to 90,000 in November, 210,000 in December and over 550,000 in January. That dovetails with information from an LG executive who said that production was rising and the shortages would be a thing of the past in the middle of February.
At the end of last month, the Google Nexus 4 had returned to the Google Play Store and while the 8GB model is sold out, the 16GB variant is still listed as being "in stock". That is amazing considering the phone would sell out within 30 minutes whenever it was on sale in the U.S. Google Play Store. We should add though, that the device now ships in 2 to 3 weeks, up from the 1 to 2 weeks seen back at the end of January. The attraction here is that the unlocked 16GB model, for $349 without a contract, is giving buyers a phone with great specs with no carrier handcuffs for a very reasonable price. Buyers are getting a 4.7 inch screen with a 318 ppi, a quad-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 2100mAh battery, an 8MP rear shooter that captures video in 1080p at 30 fps, and a 1.3MP front-facing camera. The best part of the whole equation is that Android 4.2.1 runs the show.
Now that supply seems to have caught up with demand to some degree, we could see a big jump in those estimates from the XDA forum and perhaps we will get some official figures from LG in the not too distant future.

Finally got tired of the loose/bent banana plugs on my Eichmann speaker cables and did some chopping. I have always really enjoyed the sound from these cables but was never quite happy with their banana plugs. Upon opening, found two 14 gauge solid copper for the neg and two 20 gauge for the pos (see pics). Went ahead and attached some Audioquest copper bananas that I really like because of their solid connection. But, while the AQ bananas are great for stranded, I think I might do better for the solid wire (especially the two twisted 14 gauge which don't quite fit). I was thinking of a bit of solder to meld the two solid wires together but that would make it even more difficult to fit the 14 gauge into the back of the AQ bananas.
I do really like the solid connection of the AQ and would like to stick with bananas but if a spade connection will work better I guess I am open to that. Any other banana plugs I might look at using? Thanks!
Follow Ups:
Wrap one of the 14 AWG wires around the other, leaving enough length of the first wire (that's not wrapped) to be able to fit into the BFA connector, all by itself -- solder the wrapped wire onto the first wire making sure not to allow any stray solder to run onto the section of bare wire that will be placed inside the connector. You may wish to slightly flatten the bare 14 AWG wire where the set-screws make contact with it in order to obtain a firmer grip.
Bare, treated wire if all possible puts less between you and the music.
between different termination methods. I will try bare and listen, who knows, I may like it better this time. The issue is mainly one of convenience for me. I am not lazy, but I get so little time to listen these days that bananas just work best for me.
I get the "bare" part of course, but what do you mean by "treated wire"?
Cleaned: 99% alcohol - 91% is OK
Treated: Stabilant 22 Contact enhancer
Read more @ stabilant22.com
App notes are very interesting.
BTW: According to the manufacturer Sumiko marketed a contact enhancer named "Tweak" that was actually a form of Stabilant 22 -- until the manufacturer put a stop to it.
I've been using this stuff for over 10 years and it works great.
Fixed many household items with it also.
Edits: 02/06/12
Maybe it's just me, but I'm not getting what the convenience of bananas have to do with your limited time of listening.
Do you have to connect and disconnect the speakers each time?
And, like I said, the wire jumpers on my Snells kind of mess with spade or bare wire connection.
and I do like the crimp sleeve idea but I don't think it will help me fit the two 14 ga wires into the back of the AQ bananas. The Eichmann bananas had the two wires soldered on to a 'plate' (for lack of better term) that was connected to the banana end. The soldered plate was a great connection but after that the banana end was just weak and flimsy. I guess I am hoping to find a strong banana like the AQ that is a solder type instead of a set screw type. I am searching but so far no luck.
I would rather have the convenience of bananas but am not totally opposed to spades. The biggest problem is the solid copper wire jumpers I have on the back of my Snells pretty much prevent the use of spades. I would have to find some type of flat jumpers to accommodate the spades. I guess I could run spades on the speaker cables and use bananas for the jumpers? Hmmmm...
These BFA banana plugs fit from 14-8awg wire so these should work for you and are really affordable.
I do it all in the name of music!!!
but not sure if they will fit 2 14 ga wires into one plug. But, for the price I might just buy 'em and mess around. Any reason you know of that I can't put one on each of the four wires and effectively make it a shotgun bi-wire setup? My Snells are set up for bi-wire so I don't see any problem there. But, my Viennas are not so I run into a little problem when switching out speakers.
Those will easily fit two 14awg conductors as that is only 11awg and the plugs will accept up to 8awg. So basically these plugs will accept four 14awg conductors as that equals 8awg.
I do it all in the name of music!!!
Banana connectors IMHO are not a high-end solution to speaker cable termination.
Try some WBT crimp sleeves for your set screw type terminations...should make the job much easier to terminate.
I do it all in the name of music!!!
I used to like bananas from Nordost but now prefer spades.
Much better contact with a more secure connection.
They sound better IMO too.
Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

Scientists join forces to save Australian devil
CANBERRA (Reuters Life!) - With Australia's Tasmanian Devil facing extinction within the next 20 years, a group of Australian scientists have joined forces to try to save the endangered marsupial.
Numbers of the carnivorous marsupial that live in the wild on the southern island state of Tasmania have fallen as much as 60 percent due to a deadly and disfiguring facial cancer that can kill within months.
The animal, which is the size of a small muscular dog with black fur and ferocious temperament, was listed as an endangered species by the Tasmanian state government earlier this year.
In a bid to save the Tasmanian Devil, University of Adelaide zoologist Jeremy Austin was named to lead a national project to spend the next three years on a conservation program.
This would include trying to find a vaccine to suppress the infectious cancer that is ravaging Australia's largest living marsupial carnivore by analyzing genetic material to understand the disease's origin, spread and impact.
"Extinction of the species is a possibility within the next two decades unless disease spread can be stopped," Austin said in a statement on Tuesday.
Austin, who will be joined in the project by colleagues from South Australian Zoos and the Tasmanian government, said the loss of the devil would not only mean losing a key tourism icon but would be harmful to the ecology of Tasmania's native ecosystem.
He said Tasmanian Devils are more prone to the infectious cancer because they have low levels of genetic diversity and a chromosomal mutation unique among carnivorous mammals.
The disease is spread directly between devils through biting during the mating season. Continued...

Butler-Gonzaga preview: 'Mid' label is misleading
No schools represent the parity that has evolved in college basketball more than Gonzaga and Butler.
As long ago as 1999, Gonzaga was on the brink of a Final Four, losing to eventual champion Connecticut 67-62 in a regional final. More recently, Butler reached the NCAA championship game in 2010 and '11.
The teams play tonight in Spokane, Wash., in only their second meeting. The fact the game was picked up by ESPN2 and placed in a favorable time slot -- 6 p.m. in the West and 9 in the East -- underscores the stature of the programs.
Whether Butler and Gonzaga are characterized as mid-majors or giant-killers or underdogs is not particularly relevant anymore. They are small schools with big-time programs.
Five years ago, before the teams' first meeting in the NIT Season Tipoff at New York, Gonzaga coach Mark Few said mid-major was a convenient description by lazy media.
"If you look at human nature, everybody wants to put you in a category, whether it's socioeconomic or racial, and now basketball," Few said. "They want to fit you into this group. We don't fit into the group. We're competing on the national level."
That is as true in 2011 as it was in '06.
Butler vs. Gonzaga
Category — Butler — Gonzaga
Founded — 1855 — 1887
City — Indianapolis — Spokane, Wash.
Enrollment — 4,034 — 7,682
Nickname — Bulldogs — Bulldogs
Arena — Hinkle Fieldhouse, 1928 — McCarthey Athletic Center, 2004
Arena capacity — 10,000 — 6,000
NCAA tournament record (since 1999) — 16-8 — 16-13
Longest active streaks of regular-season conference championships:
11: Gonzaga (West Coast)
7: Kansas (Big 12)
5: Butler (Horizon), Xavier (Atlantic 10)
Butler won that initial meeting 79-71, capping an improbable four victories that launched a more improbable five-year run. Butler and Gonzaga were both in the 2007 Great Alaska Shootout but didn't meet because coach Bob Knight's Texas Tech Red Raiders defeated Gonzaga in a semifinal.
Through the 2011 national championship, Butler was 146-32. Its percentage of .820 was second in that span only to Kansas (165-22, .882).
Few didn't allow the Zags to celebrate long after beating Arizona 71-60 Saturday at Seattle.
"I just told our guys we play a team that has been a shot away from a national championship and 40 minutes away from a national championship," he told the Spokane Spokesman-Review. "That will be another very difficult task."
Few followed coach Don Monson, who left Gonzaga after that 1999 Elite Eight appearance. Few is 323-85 in 13 seasons, a .792 percentage that ranks third among active coaches. At .797, Butler's Brad Stevens (122-31) is second to North Carolina's Roy Williams (653-164, .799).
Few called Butler's physical defense "unbelievable" and said its "dedication to execution is unmatched right now in college basketball."
Few and Stevens corresponded last season after their teams had bumpy starts in their respective leagues. The home-and-home series sends the Zags to Hinkle Fieldhouse next season.
"They have won their league 11 straight years. It's almost unfathomable what they've done," Stevens said. "You go through the country -- North Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, UCLA -- you go through them, and they've all had years when they haven't been as good. But Gonzaga hasn't.
"What they've done is remarkable. And they continue to get NBA players year in, year out."
Gonzaga has two NBA prospects in 7-foot center Robert Sacre (Canada) and 6-7 forward Elias Harris (Germany). They are two of seven foreign players on the roster.

Hi everypup, my owners and I have been going to the aptos park but there have been hardly any little dogs there! That would always make me so upset! Finally today my owners decided to try the scotts valley park and see if there were any little dogs there. Sure enough there were about 5 or 6 little dogs there! I mainly just chewed on a tug-o-war toy until this little japinese breed came up and said "hey pup, lets play" I was so shocked! That little dog looked like a mini Sibarian Husky! I played a little bit but then I had to get a drink a water and after that the other doggy didn't wanna play no more. That was ok because I still had a super good time! On the way home, I was so tired that I fell asleep in about 3 minutes after entering the car! I was TiRed! bol (bark out loud). Anyway sorry about not writing for the last couple a days. Bark at ya later
