Problems paying RITA taxes? You're not alone
BRECKSVILLE, Ohio (WTVN) -- If you live in one of the more than 200 Ohio communities where city or village income taxes are filed through RITA - the Regional Income Tax Agency - you're not alone if you have had problems going onto their website to file your taxes.
RITA's website was overwhelmed by filers over the weekend and Monday which kept others from logging on to the system to do their taxes.
"Very frustrating because I left work to come and do it just to make sure it's done," said Lauri Dignan who came to the suburban-Cleveland RITA offices in person to file her taxes after the website wouldn't work.
Don Smith, executive director with RITA, says they have doubled the bandwidth of the site and are in the process of adding even more to handle the crush of taxpayers.
Smith says they believed they had sufficient bandwidth to handle this year's filers but he admits they were caught a little off-guard when the system became overwhelmed.
"We also had a new website, compared to last year, that may have contributed to the response time that people received," Smith said.
Add to that the volume of people trying to call RITA to ask questions or complain, and they are getting fast busy signals.
"It's unfortunate because I live about 30 minutes away, but I want to get it done so I'm here. Do what you've got to do, I guess," said another tax payer who showed up at the RITA offices.
For others, filing in person isn't an option. Because of the issues, the deadline to file has been extended to 11:59 p.m. on Monday, April 21.

So many of us have convinced ourselves that UC basketball is a thing of the past and after this year's disappointing football season we have started wishing on a star. Well while your head was skyward, UC basketball has reeled off 11 wins in a row including a always scary Miami of Ohio and Coach Charlie Coles.
Now I know, like you the majority of these teams were scheduled to win and beef up the record but they are beating them like they're supposed to and some teams who scheduled the "cupcakes" ended up losing to them so give respect to the process. Duke does the exact same thing for those ready to offer elite team comparisons. The bottom line is they're undefeated and they deserve some support from students and alumni.
We will find out how much fools gold we have but I have a feeling this team is pretty good; notice I didn't say great, which is THE most overused word in the sports dictionary as it now relates to one play or one season versus a lifetime of work. But when you are 11-0 and have beaten who you are supposed to by the margin you're supposed to I have to acknowledge that. Maybe you can acknowledge them by going to a game when time permits. I mean for what one Bengal ticket cost, you can have a family affair at a UC basketball game and be indoors where it's warm.
I can't make you go to a game and I can't make UC's schedule for them, but if I did I would leave it the way it is until they're ready to have a schedule like Kentucky's whose comes equipped with NBA in waiting players touring and passing time.
So check out a game, get to know some names and faces on this team and when they turn the corner you can say I know; I've been coming for a minute. And that's better than not at all. I always say these kids want to believe you care about them like you did when they were hot shot recruits. Where you faking then when you said we got your back? I wasn't and that's why I'm writing you with 11 reasons to come back home...to the shoe.
Now if they can just change the name to the Big O-Rena in honor of Oscar Robertson...that's for another day
That's the way I see it, sitting in The Box Seat.
Well the football season didn't pan out the way we wanted but we have next year and with so many returning players how can you not be optomistic about the future of UC football?
And with an 8-0 start how can you not have optimism about the future of UC basketball? Now i'm not proclaiming they're going to run the Big East table or even make the tournament but give them credit for beating the teams they scheduled by the margins you would expect. Yes their first true test witll be Oklahoma because it will be a team in a major conference who has major players and a major advantage with the home crowd; but it will also allow us to see how players who have had little trouble getting their shots, work to get them against like minded competition. Will Yancy Gates continue to rebound and deliver double doubles? Will Dion Dixon still contribute and keep his composure? Will Cashmere Wright run the point effectively? These answers will start to reveal themselves in the very near future.
I am not opposed to scheduling wins for two reasons; One, to get in the NCAA, it appears 20 something is the key regardless of other factors. When you look at teams who haven't had much success still get in the tournament, typically its because they've won 20plus games. So the 'Cats have 8 down and I'd estimate 15 to go to be a lock. Secondly, whatever isn't working or needs tweaking, you can fix with these games because it will show itself to the coaching staff. Now either the coaches fix the problem or replace the parts, and I don't think UC still has the depth to replace players with the same talent level so they can focus on the task at hand.
This is one of the most anticipated seasons in Bearcat basketball history because it will most certainly decide whether Mick Cronin is successful or not. I think they just have to win the games they're supposed to win like the first 8 and the rest will take care of itself. The bigger question is: Which games are they supposed to win in the Big East? The answer will come well after the question.
That's the way I see it, sitting in The Box Seat...
OK the season is coming to a sad end with no Bowl in sight...lets move on and focus on the Pitt Panthers. The seniors from this football team had a great run minus this season. Big East titles, Orange and Sugar Bowl appearances and they helped to restore credibility and respect to this program. So how will you honor them? Hopefully by showing up this Saturday and paying homage to them for giving you reason to be UC proud again.
There's no question this is a season many of you want to forget but note this season as a bump in the road because this team will be better next year. They will have returning players, a recruiting class to add to the depth of this program and the hunger for payback after this year's rough and tumble results.
But lets get back to these seniors who came here when they had options; when they could have said what has UC done football wise? Or I'll go to an established college power regardless of the number of players at my desired position. Instead, they came here and won; and won consistently and raised the profile of the school as evidence by their appearance on ABC primetime and ESPN primetime. Yes this senior class has much to be proud of and when they look back on their time at UC it will be fond memories and lots of camaraderie.
What I don't want is for them to look back and see empty seats on their last game and wonder where all the people were who claimed they were fans. Remember these players can still influence younger players in their hometown to follow them here and one of the selling points can be: "The fans showed us love, even in our last but not so successful year". As the argument goes: look at the total body of work and then respond accordingly.
That's the way I see it, sitting in The Box Seat.

FWIW, the stock arm itself is made by Choate. In the early model, Choate supplied the entire unit, hence the bolt-on steel end plate with thick rubber pad. The newer models, the endplate is a factory HK MP5K plastic endplate and the Choate stock arm is attached to it.
Noteworthy that when purchasing a new one, consider the Choate at 1/2 the cost as you can replace the buffer if/when it wears out. The HK marked units you can not.

Compare Lamborghini Garages and Specialists in Hornchurch with Who Can Fix My Car.
Work was done promptly. Alternator was changed and car has been fine ever since.
I get the following quote from this garage: "Full Service including parts and labour and MOT including fitting of tyres will be £195 we will change oil, all filters, and Fluids and do a engine flush using Forte flush we will also carry a vehicle health check for free. " The think is i don't know what they did there because i left the car at 09:30 and pick up after 4 hours at 13:30, i can see the tyres are changed and mot test paper. I don't know about the oil, filtres, engine flush, fluids and vehicle health check. If the screenwash liquid is part of the "fluids" then they didn't fill-up screenwash tank, rest of the fluids i can't say enything i don't have to much knowledge about, the liquids in rest of the tanks looks at good limit but the tanks caps are still dirty is no marks of touch on them. About the oil, after i drive around 10 miles and checked is look very dirty is black like a old one, if they changed then definitely they didn't make a engine flush, filtres no idea. So if i going back there i wold like to assist at the job and see what happen there.
Good service, nice receptionist, they fix my car and i will use this garage in future for all my problems. Thank you, i strongly recommend you !
Excellent service. Friendly and flexible. Even had a tour of the garage and a decent cup of coffee! Would definitely use them in the future. Thanks Yasser.
Great customer service. Got car picked and dropped off. I was so impressed that I had my car servicing done the following week. Would visit again.
Did crank seal with out getting go ahead when I asked when I called to find out how the job was going to be told crank seal was leaking and had been replaced I asked how much extra it was going to be to be told there was no extra charge and job was almost finished . When I got back to the garage the job was finished the invoice was handed to me with the price of the seal on it which was only another £12 which we hadn't planed for paying out so managed to scrap that extra when complained invoice was amended to the quoted price then I asked what oil was put in the gearbox to be told 2 different story's one being castrol 70w/90 oil then when I said it was the wrong oil was told the old oil was put back in which would have been mixed with the ird box oil which is a different grade to the gearbox , the correct oil for the gearbox is mtf94 or only equivalent is an 75w/80 api-gl4 spec oil now where the oil is to thick when cold it's hard to engage any gear till warmed up so has ended up with me having to replace the oil for the correct grade at a cost of £36 just for the gearbox oil . So won't be recommending them to anyone
Top service ! Thank you Inline Automotive Solutions !
Needed my car fixed urgently and this garage was very helpful right from the start. I assumed that the oil sump gasket was leaking so i wanted it replaced. I also needed a new flexi pipe welded on the dpf as my existing one was cracked. The morning after i dropped my car i recieived a phone call to advising me that the oil leak is coming from the oil filter cooler and not the gasket. They fixed it in no time and also continued to replace the oil sump gadket for me as its a common fault on the car. Price at £340 to replace oil sump gasket, oil filter housing union pipes and unweld and reweld on a new dpf is excellent. My car no longer leaks oil and theres no rattling from under the car. I am well happy and if i need my car fixed will be definately going back. Also not only did they tell me what parts had broken they also showed me aswell which was a really nice touch. I would recommend this garage. Thank you inline automotive solutions They was able to fit me in and was able to find the oil leak with my car and fix i
They did a very good job
Good service mechanics there are great
Very nice people, job done to a high standard. Even stayed late after they closed just to finish the job after wrong parts were sent. Thanks guys.
Really happy with the garage. Helpful, communicative and reasonably priced. Thanks to Michelle and Jason
Excellent and value for money
Work was done quickly and with a friendly and positive attitude. I would recommend this garage.
Fantastic very quick and professional will definitely be returning
never returned my calls after giving me quote online
Fixed okay good job maybe ,an update to say cost would rise .
I was very pleased with the service that was done on my car and would recommend GC Autotech

The Mailbox Club Discipleship Center - Student Sponsor Program
$68,844 Budgeted need for 2014
In 2013 we mailed out 61,734 lessons free-of-charge to an average of 4,131 active students across the United States. It was a fruitful outreach because 177 students indicated that they had received Jesus Christ as their personal Savior through taking the lessons! 3,182 certificates were awarded for successfully completing a course.
That's about $20/year/student to send lessons all across America free of charge!
With God's help, our desire is to continually increase the number of students enrolled in courses through our local Mailbox Club here in Valdosta, GA. You can enroll new students in this great "discipleship" program right here on this website by completing a "signup" form right HERE!
Would the Lord be leading you to sponsor one or more of our students?

In general, I think the competition was really well run. Not a lot of waiting around, I knew where to be and when, so that was all wonderful. In terms of the judging, I was less impressed. I went to the feedback session, but barely got any information out of it. I was told a lot of what was good, but the judges had a hard time telling me how to improve, even when I asked specific questions. As a first timer, it's kind of frustrating not being sure how to improve my work for next time.
For the future, I would love to see a scoring rubric before and/or after the competition. It would be great to see where the points go beforehand to better focus my work. Afterwards, it would be really helpful to see what areas need the most improvement. I would also love to see a more diverse judging panel.
All in all, great job on keeping everything running so smoothly. A huge thank you to the coordinators and the judges for your time and attention to everything.

removing letters from alphanumeric data
I am able to find and read in from a data header a particular variable
value, my difficulty is in my attempt to drop the letters that follow
the number I need to retrieve.
For example, I'll use Find to locate the position of the variable
"Temperature" and then store the value that follows it, however there
is generally a "C" or something after the temperature value, e.g.
"45C". All I need is the value 45.
Also, If there is no entry at all is there a way to put a placeholder
value in it place, instead a Null.

Missing MSWINSCK.OCX
I just downloaded a program that requires a file called MSWINSCK.OCX and I've read all the questions and answers about this problem and they say to open cmd (Command Prompt) and type: "regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx"
as the admin, and the problem I have is...when i opened computer, and went to "C:\windows\system32" i kept looking....and looking...and the file "MSWINSCK.OCX" isn't even there! WTF??? I read a article that said, "download MSWINSCK.OCX from any site and copy and paste into system32" So I did that and it appeared as a Text Document, so when i went to regsvr32 mswinsck.ocx it STILL didn't load, so I don't know what to do! HELP!!
and don't try to find some bullsh*t from google I LOOKED AT ALL OF IT! I need pro help!!
Sincerely, slappyman.
e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
If you can find MSWINSCK.OCX and download from proper resources, please choose the one that has the same version of Windows vista. If you have Windows Vista SP1 installed, please download the cooresponding file version.
If that did not help, here I would like to suggest perform the following steps to resolve it:
Step 1:
Run the System File Checker (SFC) to repair Windows Vista system files
1. Click Start, type "cmd" (without the quote) in the Start Search bar, right-click cmd.exe and click run as administrator.
2. Input the following commands and press Enter after each line.
sfc /scannow
Note: There is a SPACE between "SFC" and "/Scannow". This command will take several minutes to complete.
If the corrupted files are detected but cannot be fixed, we need Windows Vista Installation Disk to repair Windows.
Step 2: In-Place Upgrade
Note: After performing In-Place Upgrade, your personal data and installed programs usually will not be removed but we may need to run Windows Update to install all the available updates for your system to update these system files to the current version. This troubleshooting process is time consuming. Your patience is highly appreciated.
As to the steps of In-Place Upgrade, I still would like to explain that it will reinstall all system files with this method. You may need to reinstall some applications to upgrade some files to a higher version, because they may be replaced during the installation of Windows. It will take about two hours to repair. Your personal files and settings will be kept as they were after the installation. However, it is always recommended to backup the important information and files to other partitions or other disks before doing it.
If you would like to perform the In-place Upgrade, let's refer to the following steps.
1. Start the computer by using the current Operating System.
2. Insert the Windows Vista DVD in the computer's DVD drive.
3. Use one of the following procedures, as appropriate:
If Windows automatically detects the DVD, the Install now screen appears. Click Install now.
If Windows does not automatically detect the DVD, follow these steps:
a. Click Start, type Drive:\setup.exe, and then click OK.
Note Drive is the drive letter of the computer's DVD drive.
b. Click Install now.
4. When you reach the "Which type of installation do you want?" screen, click Upgrade to upgrade the current operating system to Windows Vista.
Please remember to click "Mark as Answer" on the post that helps you, and to click "Unmark as Answer" if a marked post does not actually answer your question. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread. "

High Efficiency Radiant Cooling Systems Come to North America
Latest News
Industry News
By Greg Cunniff, PE, Taco, Inc.
Click here for a PDF of this article.
In the past few decades radiant cooling systems have progressed and are becoming recognized as one of the most comfortable and, from the standpoint of energy use and materials, highly efficient HVAC systems available on the market today.(1) Their efficiency includes not only energy efficiency but materials efficiency as well. As a hydronic system they use approximately 1/2 the horsepower and 1/2 the materials to move heating and cooling energy around a building compared to air systems.
They have developed in Europe during the past several decades and are now just starting to be looked at closely - and initially specified - here in America. A new low flow injection pumping system is now available to make a radiant cooling system even more efficient. The first system of its kind in North America was recently installed in Milton, Ontario, outside of Toronto. The system delivers heating and cooling energy to a variety of terminal units including chilled ceiling panels, chilled beams, fan coils and heat pumps - all in the same piping distribution system despite each of the terminal units requiring different temperatures.
The European Experience
Like many hydronic-based system developments, radiant cooling had its origin in commercial HVAC systems in Western Europe stretching back to the 1980s. Traditionally, European commercial buildings were typically supplied only with heating systems. However, with the introduction of personal computers these buildings now required a measure of sensible cooling.
The Europeans developed chilled radiant ceilings to satisfy this need for indoor cooling. Radiant chilled ceilings consist of metal panels with hydronic tubing attached to the top side of the panels. Chilled water is circulated through the panels to produce radiant and convective cooling. (2) While many European commercial buildings have limited ceiling space, the system requires minimum space since small pipes instead of large ducts are used to transport the cooling energy. Newer chilled panels are now available that use plastic pipe embedded in ceilings, walls or floors.
Approximately 50-60 percent of the heat transfer from a radiant chilled panel is radiant and 40-50 percent is convective. The chilled water temperature must be above dew point to prevent condensation from forming on the underside of the panels. This is in the range of 55º F to 60º F. The driving force or temperature difference between the chilled water and the room is therefore reduced, falling within the range of 15º F to 20º F as opposed to a conventional chilled water system of 30º F to 35º F, using 40º F to 45º F chilled water.
As a result, higher chilled water flow rates are required to achieve reasonable capacities. These flow rates are in the range of 4.5 to 6 gpm per ton using chilled water delta T's of 4º F to 5º F as opposed to conventional chilled water systems of 2 to 3 gpm per ton using delta T's of 8º F to 12º F.
The chilled water flow rate for chilled panels and ceilings is approximately double that of conventional chilled water systems, as shown in Figure 1.
Even with higher flow rates the capacity of radiant chilled panels and ceilings is relatively low, in the range of 20 to 40 btuh/sq. ft. of panel area. While this is within the range of cooling loads for interior spaces, it may not be adequate for exterior spaces. For the European experience in the 1980s some cooling was better than none.
Exterior spaces with larger glass areas approach 60 btuh/sq. ft. of floor area or higher. For full sensible cooling in these exterior spaces either the cooling load must be reduced or the ceiling panels supplemented with other cooling sources. The solar load can be reduced by using shading devices on the windows. This can take the form of interior blinds or exterior sun shades that close when the windows are exposed to direct sunlight. Additional cooling sources could be chilled wall or floor panels. (3)
Because the chilled water supply temperature supplied to a radiant chilled ceiling is above dew point, radiant chilled panels cannot provide latent cooling capacity. However, providing a 100 percent dedicated outside air system (DOAS) to accomplish latent cooling allows the combination decoupled system to provide
sensible and latent capacity. (4) Again, this was not important for the European experience two decades ago, but for full comfort cooling in the United States latent cooling capability is a necessity.
The biggest advantage of decoupling the sensible and latent loads is the substantial reduction in airflows. A typical air-based cooling system will require 7 to 10 air changes per hour of airflow (recirculated and outside air). A radiant cooling system employing a DOAS will only require 1 to 2 air changes per hour (outside air only). This makes for a substantial reduction in the horsepower and materials required to move cooling energy.
Passive and Active Chilled Beams
The Europeans discovered from their experience that by lowering the chilled panel below the ceiling that the convection cooling component of the individual panels could be increased; this satisfied the increased cooling loads from increased use of computers experienced in the 1990s. In addition there was a desire to provide higher cooling capacities for exterior zones to provide better overall comfort.
By lowering the panel below the ceiling the capacity of the chilled panel can be increased to approximately 120 to 150 btuh/sq. ft. of the beam or coil area of the beam. This configuration has been designated as a
chilled beam by the industry. It resembles a beam when mounted below the ceiling. It is passive since the convective cooling component is natural convection.
The higher cooling capacity of a passive chilled beam could now satisfy increased equipment loads in interior spaces and solar loads in exterior spaces. To increase the cooling capacity of a passive chilled beam even further the conditioned ventilation air from the DOAS can be used to flow air through the chilled coil. This further increases the convective component of the beam. The ventilation air is introduced to the chilled beam through a venturi, generating a higher velocity and subsequently lower pressure region inside the chilled beam. This low pressure region induces room air to flow up through the chilled coil and mix with the primary air from the DOAS. The airflow over the chilled coil is reversed for an active chilled beam vs. a passive chilled beam, with the induced room air now flowing up through the coil.
chilled beams are sometimes referred to as "induction diffusers." The air from the active chilled beam is introduced into the space through a slot diffuser, creating a Coanda effect. Inducing warm room air to blow through the chilled coil substantially increases the capacity of the chilled beam. Active chilled beam capacities are in the range of 350 to 600 btuh/sq. ft. of the beam or coil area of the beam. Added to this is the capacity of the primary air from the DOAS. Depending on the temperature and quantity of this primary supply air, this can add up to 300 btuh/sq. ft. of the beam or coil area of the beam. An active chilled beam can deliver from 500 to 900 btuh/sq. ft. of the beam or coil area between the chilled coil and the primary air. An active chilled beam configuration is shown below.
Any of the radiant or chilled beam systems have one thing in common: substantially lower air volumes (1 to 2 air changes per hour vs. 7 to 10). This results in substantially lower horsepower and fewer materials needed to achieve the same or better levels of comfort than air systems such as VAV, rooftop, VVT or CAV.
Figure below shows the reduction in horsepower for a typical all-air VAV system vs. a radiant chilled ceiling or chilled beam system.
The total peak power demand for the radiant cooling system, including the transport as well as generation systems, is almost 25 percent or 1/4 less than an all-air system, a substantial reduction. This includes the 50 percent or 1/2 reduction in energy transport. This is due to the reduction in air quantities needed to accomplish the task. There is, however, an increase in pump horsepower, the result of the radiant cooling system requiring approximately twice as much chilled water flow as a conventional system.
Lowering Peak Power Demand with Injection Pumping
If the chilled water flow for a radiant cooling system could be reduced to that of a conventional system then the peak power demand could be reduced even further. This can be accomplished by the use of injection pumping. Injection pumping has been used for a number of years in radiant heating systems by mixing down the higher temperature boiler water (at 180º F) to that needed for a radiant floor panel (100º to 120º F). This same principlecan be applied to a radiant cooling system only in reverse - to mix up low temperature chilled water (40º F to 45º F) to that required by a chilled ceiling panel or beam (55º F to 60º F).
Shown below is a schematic piping layout for a radiant cooling low flow, low temperature injection piping system.
In this system the primary chiller flow is actually lower than a conventional system. The primary chilled water temperature difference is 16º F (58º - 42º F) or 1.5 gpm per ton. A conventional system is in the range of 8º F to 12º F or 2 to 3 gpm per ton. This is a flow rate 1/2 that of a conventional system and 1/4 of a typical radiant cooling system. This results in a corresponding decrease in pump horsepower and less materials for smaller pipe. This system lowers the transport horsepower to move heating and cooling energy around a building to a minimum.
Another advantage of using low temperature chilled water is the ability to spot dehumidify. The use of a 100 percent DOAS pressurizes the building to negate infiltration of outside air. At building entranceways the amount of natural infiltration will temporarily overwhelm the amount of outside conditioned air delivered by the DOAS when an outside door is opened, especially in humid climates.
To overcome this temporary infiltration overload local dehumidification is needed, and is typically provided by a fan coil installed at building entrances. The fan coil will need chilled water in the range of 50º F maximum to achieve adequate dehumidification. This cannot be supplied by a distribution system using 55º F to 60º F chilled water to radiant panels and chilled beams. Use of an injection pumping system will enable chilled water in this range to be available to the building entranceways by proper layout of the low flow piping system. In addition, operating a chiller at lower temperatures (e.g., 40º F to 45º F) allows the DOAS to use chilled water rather than a DX unit.
A comparison of the peak power demand for the low flow injection pumping system is shown below.
The peak power demand for the low flow, injection pumping radiant cooling system is 33 percent or 1/3 less than an all-air system, again a substantial reduction. This system reduces the transport energy to only 20 percent of the total HVAC system and only 1/3 of the transport energy of an air system. This system, presently under development by Taco, Inc., promises to be one of the most efficient HVAC systems to become available on the U.S. market. It combines hydronic heating and cooling energy transport with injection radiant heating and cooling energy delivery in the conditioned space.

Bush asks Congress to approve Australia trade deal
Page Tools
US President George Bush has urged the US Congress to promptly approve a recently negotiated free-trade agreement with Australia.
Following a White House meeting with Australian Prime Minister John Howard, Mr Bush said the pact would "deepen our strong economic ties" with Australia.
The US Congress and the Australian parliament "should ratify the free-trade agreement as soon as possible," he told reporters.
Two-way trade between Australia and the United States totals about $28 billion a year.
US industry estimates the free-trade deal would increase sales of manufactured goods by about $2 billion in the first year of implementation.
US trade officials also argue the agreement would remove barriers to investment, government procurement and services.
They say it also would enhance copyright protections for music, movies and computer software.
American farmers, however, have been ambivalent. As the agreement was being negotiated, cattle ranchers, dairy and wheat farmers all complained it would do little to boost their exports.
US hog farmers, however, see the trade pact as a positive step.
The 13-million member AFL-CIO labour federation opposes the arrangement, which they say would lead to more US jobs moving overseas.
Mr Howard was scheduled to meet congressional leaders later today to lobby for the agreement's ratification.
The Bush administration is hoping Congress debates the deal by this summer, before election-year politicking lessens the chances for a vote in the Senate and House of Representatives.
"I assured the Prime Minister that I'll work with the leadership in our Congress to move this agreement forward," Mr Bush said. He gave no specific schedule for seeking a vote.
There has been speculation congressional leaders might speed up a vote by coupling the Australian free-trade agreement with a US-Morocco free-trade deal scheduled to be signed by Washington and Rabat on June 11.

Follow Akron Basketball on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram
AKRON, Ohio – University of Akron senior Rachel Tecca has been named to the Capital One Academic All-America® first team by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA), the organization announced Thursday.
Tecca is UA's first women's basketball player ever to receive first team honors, after being named to the second team a year ago.
"I am very proud of Rachel for earning this prestigious award," said Akron head coach Jodi Kest. "She has worked extremely hard both on and off the basketball court for the last five years to get to where she is today. I am honored and humbled to have coached such a well-rounded student-athlete."
Tecca maintains a 3.89 graduate GPA, as she is on track to complete her MBA this spring. The fifth-year senior received a bachelor's degree in marketing management from Akron in December of 2012.
On the court, Tecca has changed the face of the Akron women's basketball program. This season, she became the school's all-time leading scorer and rebounder, consistently ranking in the nation's top-10 in points per game. Tecca is the second player in Mid-American Conference history to surpass 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds in a career, and is one of just five active players in Division I to reach the milestone.
The Tallmadge, Ohio native has been named MAC East Player of the Week four times this season and 10 times throughout her career. Tecca broke UA's single-game scoring record when she dropped 43 points and grabbed 22 rebounds in just 27 minutes of action against Eastern Michigan on Jan. 28. She was named NCAA Women's Basketball Player of the Week for her record-setting performance, marking the first time a Zip has earned the national award.
Tecca has played in 129 games in an Akron uniform, another school record, and is set to make her 100th career start this weekend when the Zips travel to Ohio on Saturday, Feb. 22.
To be eligible for Academic All-America® consideration, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.30 on a scale of 4.00 and have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution.

Centre for Orofacial Research and Learning
The Centre for Orofacial Research and Learning (CORAL) is a multidisciplinary centre bringing together the University of Adelaide's nationally recognized research leaders, basic scientists, clinicians and translational researchers in oral health and disease.
Research Areas
CORAL has four priority areas of research activity which represent clear national leadership, and are internationally recognised. These include:
CORAL is in the process of developing a fifth area around an existing nucleus of research strength in dental materials where there is the opportunity for development of new dental technologies and substantial commercial earnings from licensing.
Research Objectives
CORAL's research programs will lead to:
- significant developments in techniques for treating oral disease, including the ability to regrow periodontal tissue in situ;
- new insights into links between periodontal disease and systemic conditions such as pre-term low birth weight, coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, stroke, Type I diabetes mellitus and rheumatoid arthritis, enabling early diagnosis and treatment;
- significant advances in understanding alimentary mucositis;
- improved understanding of the molecular and signalling pathways associated with mucosal injury processes;
- development of effective new anti-mucotoxic agents for chemotherapy and radio-therapy oncology treatment regimes;
- significant advances in the understanding of the genetics and epigenetics of dental development and oral disease;
- development of effective new treatments for tooth attrition, abrasion, corrosion and erosion;
- ongoing improvements in the education and training of dental and oral health practitioners; and
- development of new materials for restorative dentistry.
Professor Richard Logan, School of Dentistry, has just taken up a 2 year term as President of the International Society of Oral Oncology (ISOO), and Professor Dorothy Keefe PSM, School of Medicine, is reprising her role as President of the Multinational Association of Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC). Last month the two, who co-head the Mucositis Research Group in the CRE in Oral Health in the Faculty of Health Sciences, found themselves in Berlin as the two society Presidents for the Annual MASCC/ISOO International Symposium on Supportive Care in Cancer. The picture shows them exchanging the updated MOU between the two societies, which have been working together for more than a decade. Richard and Dorothy have also worked together to successfully bid for the MASCC/ISOO meeting to come to Adelaide in 2016.

My wife and I are expecting our first child in October, and have both come around separately to the idea of doing a dragon-themed nursery.
I figured who better to ask about dragon-themed items than the Paizo community.
So, has anyone else done similar and do they have any good resources for nursery decorations? I'm talking crib bedding, wall decorations, toys, etc.
Thanks for any help you provide!

It hasn't been the hardest campaign that I've run or played in. There have been some rough patches, but not too terrible. Council of Thieves is way deadlier, IMO. I've had one player in CoT with an equal number of character deaths himself than all six of my Kingmaker players combined. In Cot, each of my players has at least one character death. I still have two players with PCs they started with in Kingmaker.

On the flip side, you're the GM, and what you say goes in a situation like this.
Of course, if you feel that having to send them someplace to get a remove curse cast would be detrimental to the flow of your game, you might be better off letting the lesser restoration handle it.
I run into issues like this with my group because their only divine caster is an oracle with a limited spell list. He never bothers to pick up scrolls he can use to counter his limitations either.

Seattle, on the other hand, receives 38 inches of rain and 12 inches of snow per year in 155 days.

I've had four PC deaths in my campaign thus far. I'm just getting to the end of Varnhold Vanishing. One of those deaths occurred in a side plot I ran when several players had to miss an evening and I sent the remaining on a side quest of my own creation. Don't know that that one really counts.
I had one ripped apart by an assassin vine in the evil fey towers, one ripped apart by a shambling mound infested with a centipede swarm, and one ripped apart by a piscodaemon. Interestingly, I think they all died of being constricted during a grapple.
We've only had that decided to come back, and that was the latest who was ripped apart by the piscodaemon.
The one that died on a side quest in Mivon was caught in a winter wolf's breath weapon.
Name: Lanthorr
The Gory Details: Lanthorr stood up and challenged the satyr to one-on-one combat. He thought he'd be able to simply use his smite ability and chop through the satyr. Unfortunately, the satyr is CN and his smite did not work. Lanthorr finally changed tactics and began to Feint the satyr to take him down. This was working well, and would've probably killed him in the next round, but I rolled out a Vital Striking Power Attack in front of the group and landed a 20. I then confirmed the critical hit and struck Lanthorr with 4d12+22. I rolled at least two twelves.
Thankfully his ally, a halfling cavalier riding atop her dog with a lance, charged in and critically hit with her charge, finishing off the satyr and intimidating the redcaps into following her.
The party chose to reincarnate him, and he has come back as a half-orc.
Name: Mutumbo
The Gory Details: Before entering the guard chamber, there was the nasty problem of dealing with Stygian Fires trap in the Daemon Shrine. The rogue couldn't find a trap associated with the strange door, so they decided to open it and move on to take out the strange creature in the next room (one of the PCs can see through thin walls). They opened the door and triggered the trap. Mutumbo took all the damage from the trap and lost a chunk of his Wisdom. The Piscodaemon cast a stinking cloud at the group and took the bard and rogue out of the fight temporarily. Mutmbo charged in and began hacking at the Piscodaemon, but the Piscodaemon got a hold of him with a claw. Mutumbo was bleeding and grappled and the Piscodaemon continued to hold him with a claw and squeeze him until he split apart.
Luckily, they took the daemon down soon thereafter, though the party was pretty decimated because a Greater Shadow (my addition for a six-man group) had attacked them from behind a closed door. Had a couple of people almost incapacitated because of Strength damage.
In addition, the bard had a scroll of raise dead and they were able to bring back Mutumbo. They slept the night in the guard chamber with the doors barred, and the next morning, the wizard teleported them (and the imprisoned centaur) out of there.

I have a guy in one of my games doing the Paladin/Rogue thing. Seems perfectly legit to me. It's just someone who has a fighting style focused around catching opponents off guard in a fight and hitting them in the soft spots to end the fight quickly.
My guy even took Combat Expertise and Improved Feint. The downside is he doesn't hit nearly as often as he should (especially when power attacking). When he does hit (Power Attack + Vital Strike + Improved Feint), he's rolling 7d6+12 damage, I think (2d6 greatsword + 2d6 vital strike + 2d6 sneak attack +1d6 electricity).

We'll do the next one when we have the time. It's not an easy thing to write these; it basically takes about a day for an author to come up with a name and a story for an iconic, and when we're trying to gear up for a huge pile of deadlines that are compounding due to PaizoCon and Gen Con, we simply don't have time to have one of the few folks at Paizo I trust to write an iconic's backstory take a day out of their schedule.
Could make for an interesting contest for the community, though.
I tend to get long-winded in my backstories, though. I had a Shugenja with a nine-page backstory once. Would probably need a word limit.

Inquisitor seems to be the best choice IMO. You add a decent skill set that can back up the cavalier. You also add a good spell complement to the witch's list. You're pretty decent in a fight. You get the abilities of one domain (Travel is pretty good). You gain some outdoorsy abilities (like Track).
I think Inquisitor would be a good add to your group.
Now, if the DMPC was something else (like a rogue), then I might lean more toward the paladin.

Agreed. My players have been scared smurfless thinking they're about to encounter a pit fiend. I had to metagame tell them that the fight won't be as difficult as they think, and I'm not pitting them against a CR 20 pit fiend. Otherwise, they were thinking of abandoning this ship.
I was tired of my players being too cautious, so I had the Dovan mount an assault on Oleg's while Svetlana, Kesten, Jhod, and two other NPCs I'd introduced were away. Dovan and his bandits took on Oleg, three soldiers from Brevoy, and a couple of redeemed bandits who were helping out around Oleg's. The bandits managed to kill everyone except Oleg, who they left handless. They then strung all the bodies up over the entrance to the compound and set fire to some new structures the PCs and NPCs had been building.
My party arrived at Oleg's the day after a tornado had whipped through the hills and plains around Oleg's. They had seeked refuge in the forest in some low-lying areas. and watched the tornado head off toward the northwest (as they often do). They spotted the smoke from Oleg's and quickened their pace. They then spotted the bodies, and one of the player's who had a love interest in one of the NPCs took off toward Oleg's.
Only Jhod (returned from the temple of the elk and stabilized Oleg) and Oleg were there. They forced Oleg awake and made him tell them where everyone was because they couldn't find bodies. Oleg says they went to Bokken's for potions. They sigh in relief until they realize a tornado was headed to the northwest just yesterday. They take off in the late evening, lame a couple of horses, and get to Bokken's where his hut is collapsed and a tree was barring a door into a cellar of some sort. They move the tree and rescue Bokken and the other NPCs.
After all this, they decided it was time to take care of this Stag Lord.
I had a seven character party at the time. The ranger and rogue decided to loop around to the back of the fort since it wasn't guarded too well. They even managed to spot the trap door at the back of the fort. They started to make their way up to the palisade to investigate when the zombies attacked. The two of them managed to get away without being spotted.
The next day, they decided to take the tricky approach and show up as bandits. Well, one of the players is playing an Animus from one of the 3PP books and has a bear head, so they make him stay in the woods 300 feet from the entrance. They gain entry to the fort and begin moving into position. My group is about as subtle as a tarrasque, so they almost immediately open fire and begin taking out bandits. Once the Animus druid is in, the rogue jury rigs the gate so it can't be opened; it's a fight to the death. The alarm is raised and Akiros and Dovan begin fighting the PCs with the bandits. Dovan opens the gate to let the owlbear out and calls for Auchs to get down here. With all the ruckus, the Stag Lord finally makes his entrance, totally sober because the PCs drank all his booze. He steps out with his bow, spots the Animus Druid who is fighting the owlbear and uses insightful strike to sneak attack, nearly taking the druid down in one shot. The battle basically turned into a huge smorgasborg with every bandit in the fort on the field against my seven PCs (and one animal companion). Auchs took a burning hands from the party witch who then began slumbering things. Akiros turns sides and helps the ranger flank Dovan. They cornered the Stag Lord back into his room where he fights to the death.
Akiros is the only one who survived of the bandits. My party took the charter rather seriously with regards to the unrepentant bandits shall be punished with the rope or the sword.
It was a pretty epic fight with lots of close calls. I didn't have any deaths in Stolen Lands. The party was smart enough to not go chasing the one will o'wisp I rolled on the random encounter table.
Rivers Run Red was totally different. Had two PC deaths in that book.

I accept that some players want to get to the highest level spell levels, but in alchemist, I personally don't think their higher level extracts are worth worrying over too much.
And for the record, entering rage is a free action. There is no wasting a round to activate rage.

Would Intensify therefore work on Inflict Wound spells because they deliver damage modified by level.
Aelryinth makes a good point. The feat specifically says dice in the wording, so +1 per level increases wouldn't work by RAW. I'm starting to come around to the no intensified MM by RAW party now as well. Aelryinth did some of the convincing with his discussion of scorching ray above.
That said, I don't believe that letting scorching ray have 1 more ray, magic missile have 2 more missiles, or even cure light wounds heal 5 more hp is all that game breaking, but I know that's not the argument here. The argument here is RAW.
I think my mind has been officially changed to the anti-intensified magic missile per RAW, but I'll always allow it in my game.
Kingmaker has been 7 levels in 2 years.
Council of Thieves has been 8 levels in 4-5 months.
Rise of the Runelords has been 8 levels in about 3 months.
Even in APs, it's pretty varied. A lot depends on how fast players want to keep moving. Kingmaker lends itself to a longer time because PCs wanted to build the kingdom and craft. In CoT, I've asked my players at each break point how long they want, and they've wanted to keep trucking.
My KM group has a lot of crafters and item creators. I don't think a single person has those skills in CoT. It totally depends on the party, in my estimation.

I would allow intensify spell to work with wall of fire with respect to the damage for walking through. The difference between this damage and the damage from acid arrow is that the damage for walking through a wall of fire and MM is instantaneous in the same round. At any point with acid arrow, it deals 2d4 instantaneous damage (unaffected by level). Only duration is affected by level, and there already is a feat that extends durations that doesn't have a level cap like intensify spell.
And keep in mind: while I agree with JJ's response and interpretation of Intensify spell, he has said before that rules that are unclear are left to the particular GM to interpret, even in PFS. He said earlier in this thread that he would change the RAW of telekinesis with respect to hurling gargantuan arrows at targets so it became AOE.
EDIT: to clear up the quoting.

We did it with a raging, power attacking, vital striking, greataxe-wielding barbarian and a fire-optimized dragon disciple. Also, APG spell Blessing of Fervor helped as well. Our barbarian, already with a massive movement, used the extra movement from Blessing of Fervor to catch up.
Also, it doesn't hurt when the GM forgets spell resistance.

So that a year down the line some relative newcomer will find this thread, have some new interpretation of the rule, and resurrect the thread. Then we can all be nostalgic about it.
If it stays active, it won't be the same.
And TOZ, can I get a huge-sized beaststrike club, become a large earth elemental, and use monkey grip to wield the club? And can it be a greatclub instead of a regular club, and can I channel a wild shape into it to increase the damage step one more time?
I can't believe this argument is still going on!
The last 50 posts were just reiterations of the same argument over and over again.
Everyone should leave it alone, let the post die and agree that in their own games they'll run it how they see fit.
If you're a PFS player, clarify with the GM before the game starts how he rules it because as James Jacobs said, even in PFS, there is room for GM interpretation.
In my games, I'm more than happy to give you 2 extra missiles if you want to make it a second level spell with this feat. (It's not 3 extra missiles because MM level caps at 9th caster level and the plus 5 from Intensied Spell only takes you to 14th caster level, so you get a missile at 11th and 13th caster level).
If you're playing in TOZ's game, then know that this feat will be limited to dice per level spells like burning hands, fireball, and lightning bolt.
Let this thread make its way to the archives...
Surprise Spells says it adds the sneak attack damage to the spell not to each missile.
That's how I'd rule, anyway (and I'd allow intensified spell on magic missile). So in my game, you'd at most get 14d4+14d6 damage in the round for a 6th level (5th if you take the trait) spell. This averages 84 damage no save if done to a single target.
Or... perhaps the sneak attack adds to each target. If you break the spell up to multiple targets, then I could see applying sneak attack to each. Either way, I don't see this doing 14d4+98d6 to one target. That's just me, though.

Alfred Rosenheim
|Alfred Faist Rosenheim
June 10, 1859
St. Louis, Missouri
|September 9, 1943
(aged 84)
Los Angeles, California
|Hellman Building
Second Church of Christ Scientist
Eugene W. Britt House
Doheny House
Alfred Faist Rosenheim, F.A.I.A. (June 10, 1859 – September 9, 1943) was an architect born in St. Louis, Missouri and a Fellow of the American Institute of Architects. He was one of the leading architects in Los Angeles, California in the early part of the 20th century. His major works include the Hellman Building, the Hamburger Department Store, Second Church of Christ Scientist and the Eugene W. Britt House.
Education and early career[edit]
Rosenheim was born in St. Louis, Missouri, to German parents. After attending public schools in St. Louis, he studied in Frankfurt am Main, Germany from 1872 to 1875. When he returned from Germany, Rosenheim was a student at Washington University in St. Louis from 1876 to 1879. He next attended the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, from 1879 to 1881.[1]
Rosenheim began his career as a draftsman working for Charles K. Ramsay of Boston from 1881 to 1883. In early 1884, he joined the practice of Major Francis D. Lee, then the leading architect in St. Louis. When Major Lee died in 1885, Rosenheim took over the practice. In 1894, he formed a partnership with T.C. Link and William B. Ittner that lasted until 1897. From 1897 to 1899, he worked in a partnership with his younger brother, Samuel F. Rosenheim, with Alfred working in Boston and Samuel in St. Louis. During this time, the Rosenheim firm designed Farragut Chambers, a ten-story apartment house in Washington, D.C., and various structures in Boston and Worcester, Massachusetts. In 1899, Rosenheim returned to St. Louis, where he remained until 1903.[1]
Hellman Building[edit]
In 1902, Rosenheim received a commission from Herman W. Hellman to design the Hellman Building, which was to be the largest steel-frame building in Los Angeles. He moved to Los Angeles in February 1903 to personally oversee its construction, which continued until November 1904.[1] The impressive eight-story structure located in the heart of the city's new financial district established Rosenheim's reputation in the young city. The Architect and Engineer of California wrote that the building "universally is considered the finest architectural monument in Los Angeles," built at an unprecedented cost of $1 million.[1] The structure was built with a full steel skeleton frame, concrete floors and metal partitions.
Other works[edit]
Following his work on the Hellman Building, Rosenheim was hired by A. Hamburger & Sons Co., to design and oversee the construction of their gigantic Hamburger Department Store, a five-story building at the corner of Broadway and Eighth Street. The Hamburger Department Store later became the downtown May Co. Building.[2] Additional commissions followed in Los Angeles, where Rosenheim built his practice and remained for the rest of his life.
Another landmark Los Angeles building designed by Rosenheim is the Second Church of Christ, Scientist, a large domed church built in 1907 in the West Adams district. He also designed Clune's Broadway Theater, the Majestic Theater (on the east side of Broadway between Sixth and Seventh Streets),[3] the Chapman block (at the southeast corner of Fifth and Los Angeles streets),[4] and the buildings occupied by the Farmers & Merchants Bank and the Security-First National Trust and Savings Bank.[2]
Rosenheim also designed many palatial homes for the city's wealthy, including a home for Edward L. Doheny in Beverly Hills, the Reeves residence in West Adams, the Eugene W. Britt House in West Adams, and the Judson C. Rives mansion in Westchester Place.[5] The brick mansion he designed as his own residence in 1910, located at 1120 Westchester Place, was considered "one of the finest homes in Los Angeles."[6][7]
Rosenheim's last major commission was the Hollenbeck Junior High School in 1937. The Hollenbeck school was a departure for Rosenheim, considered "modern" by many at the time. Rosenheim was reluctant to acknowledge the school as modern and wrote the following in the April 1939 issue of The Architect and Engineer:
"I do not consider the buildings particularly 'modern' although the administration and assembly hall units may possess something akin to the so-called 'contemporary' style. Personally, I do not hesitate to express the fervent hope that 'modernistic' architecture is not a permanent trend. I have a strong feeling that the bulk of modern work we see the country over has very little claim to architectural beauty. In fact I am inclined to doubt whether it can strictly be regarded as architecture. ... But whatever one chooses to call the style of my Hollenbeck School, it seemed to appeal to the Board of Education and its architect."[8]
Arts Commission scandal and later life[edit]
Rosenheim became a Fellow of the A.I.A. in 1889 and served as the President of its Southern California chapter. After several years serving as the Secretary of the Los Angeles Municipal Arts Commission, Rosenheim was removed following a widely publicized scandal in 1921. After the commission rejected a proposal by a jeweler to erect an ornamental clock on the sidewalk, Rosenheim offered, for a fee of $250, to prepare drawings that he could "safely guarantee" would be approved by the commission. The Rosenheim-drafted plans were then approved at a special meeting of the commission held in Rosenheim's office on a Saturday morning.[9] Rosenheim insisted he had done nothing improper, but the City Council unanimously voted to remove him,[10] and the local branch of the American Institute of Architects recommended a term of suspension from its ranks.[11][12]
Rosenheim died of heart disease at California Hospital in 1943 at age 84.[2] He was survived by his wife, Ruth.[2]

The people of Guinea have spend decades trying to secure the semblance of democratic rights and thousands decided to peacefully protest in favor of honest elections. Captain Moussa Dadis Camara who had overthrown the previous dictator and promised not to run for president claims actions by members of his military were not of his fault. Hundreds of soldiers confronted the demonstrators in a stadium and began firing point blank into the crowd. As people fled for their lives, dozens encountered troops at the exits who bayoneted many and there are reports of dozens of women being raped by the uncontrolled soldiers.
There are reports over 150 are dead and hundreds wounded as a result of the brutal military attack. Camara claims he had nothing to do with the slaughter, but a major reason thousands gathered was to protest his reversal of a promise not to run for president.
It is just another African tragedy and the world could not care less. Now, as to the wall in Israel,,,

Good evening IGNers, tonight's blog is inspired by my Facebook and Tumblr Feed.
April fools is a holiday that comes once a year and was fun as a child but the older I get, the lamer it gets (IN MY OPINION.. mkay?)
Everyone remember that Zelda Movie Trailer? Who fell for it?
To be honest, I didn't fall for it because I didn't recognize any of the actors but that's totally not what this blog is about...
The reason I don't enjoy April fools is because of people who say:"I'M PREGNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT" or "I'M MOVING TO JAPAAAAAAAAAAAAN" or even "I'M DELETING FACEBOOK!" (ok sometimes I wish the last one was true, there are some annoying people out there)
Anyways, those are very common "Pranks" and to be honest not very pranky or clever.
I enjoyed Google's 8Bit NES game, kudos, but those are expected. Let's see what IGN is going to throw at us.
Anyways, my friends are ruining April Fools for me and I'm bored.. so I blogged.. I don't see how I want to end this
so my blog will end like................................

Beware of this printer. I bought one a little over a year ago and was never able to print more than ten pictures reliably. The paper would jam halfway through nearly every print job. The few times the printer managed to complete a job, the results were decent, however these were few and far between.
After approximately 10-11 months of trying various paper and setting combinations, I finally gave in and called HP's tech support. I'd read many reviews of this experience and I was prepared for the worst. Sadly, my expectations were confirmed.
The first 45 minutes of my initial call was spent trying to navigate HP's support queues. Eventually I really someone who walked through the usual "level one" tests, e.g. confirm power, confirm paper, etc. I've worked in enterprise IT for ten years so this was a bit annoying but I was pleasant throughout, recognizing that the guy had a job to do.
Eventually the conclusion was that I should try different paper. I agreed, and he promised HP would send a small bundle for testing. After waiting three weeks, I called to check on the order and found that it had been cancelled. The reason given was that the printer was no longer under warranty. Excellent work, HP.
I'm sad to say that this experience is precisely what I had expected--an infuriating waste of time. With no further recourse, I took the printer to a nearby dumpster and bid farewall.
In short, don't buy this printer. And if you do, never, ever call HP for support. It will be a complete waste of time.
This printer is mechanically appalling, and HP offer NO after-sales support whatsoever. Immediately it is out of warranty (one year), HP will wash their hands of it. No servicing. No repairs. Nowt!
I have had mine for 18 months. Within six months of purchase it shed bits of the paper feed (little knurled wheels and a rubber roller). I managed to replace the rubber, but not the wheels. In the most part I was doing A3+ straight-feed heavyweight paper giclees using HP inks and either HP or Hahnemuhle paper. So, all according to HPs requirements.
A few weeks after that, it started to give software error message, and stop halfway through a print cycle - costly on a long A3 width pano print! I was away for a few weeks on shoots etc and when I came back had a lot to get through. The B9180 did a couple of dozen A3+ posters for a client before it once again died. This time terminally. In total, it logged less than 700 print cycles. Repeated contacts with the on-line 'support' at HP US (none in Europe) failed totally to grasp the problem or provide a solution.
This cost more than 𧺬 new in 2007. When it did work, it was unbelievably noisy, violent - it would shake its trolley around the floor - and had horrendous ink consumption, constantly wanting to recalibrate itself.
Avoid this machine and HP printers generally AT ALL COSTS! Sadly, I sold my elderly but incredibly reliable Canon A3 colour printer just before this thing died. There's a message there somewhere!
