There already was a "best nigiri" thread (http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/854497), however reading the thread the focus was not on nigiri.
My favorite thing to eat is nigiri so I want to know where the best is. Maybe you guys have heard of the MRI of sushi study (http://boingboing.net/2009/07/17/mri-...). Veteran sushi is different, and in a subjective level I know it would be really different. Much of sushi is a matter of texture, the Japanese talk of kuchi atari (mouthfeel), shitazawari (tonguefeel) and hagotae (tooth feel/resistance). So much of sushi in Vancouver has degenerated/evolved into mayo covered, cheese stuffed, mango-laden rolls.
So if you could help me out and focus on nigiri where can I find the best. Thanks.

Re: Frequency of Mutual Fund Portfolio Holdings Disclosure
Table of Contents:
I. Requiring More Frequent Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Will Not Help Mutual Fund Shareholders
II. Requiring More Frequent Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Would Harm Fund Shareholders
III. The Commission Should Review Current Reporting Requirements for Institutional Money Managers
IV. The SEC Should Propose Changes To Improve the Usefulness of Disclosures About Mutual Fund Portfolio Holdings
Dear Mr. Roye:
The Investment Company Institute1 is writing to share its views on issues related to the frequency with which mutual funds disclose their portfolio holdings. We understand that the staff is considering this matter in the context of developing a rulemaking proposal designed to improve disclosure in mutual fund shareholder reports. In addition, we are aware that several rulemaking petitions have been filed calling for the Commission to increase the frequency of mutual fund portfolio holdings disclosure beyond the current requirement of twice a year.2
The Institute strongly urges the staff to reject suggestions to increase the frequency of mutual fund portfolio holdings disclosure. As a preliminary matter, there is no compelling reason for the Commission to require more frequent disclosure. Notwithstanding the requests of certain financial intermediaries and third parties with business interests in this information, our members report virtually no demand for it from their shareholders. And for those investors to whom it is important, there are numerous funds that do voluntarily disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently than semi-annually. There also is no evidence that disclosing mutual fund portfolio holdings more than twice a year would benefit mutual fund shareholders.
More importantly, there is substantial evidence, which we detail below, that requiring all funds to disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently would harm fund shareholders. It would facilitate the ability of professional traders and other opportunists to front run trades by mutual funds and to exploit fund research and proprietary investment strategies, all at the expense of fund shareholders. Indeed, abusive practices like these occur today. Requiring funds to disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently would only exacerbate this problem. Instead, we strongly urge the Commission to examine current reporting requirements for institutional investment managers and to take appropriate action to ensure that these reports cannot be used in a manner that harms fund shareholders.
We also wish to reiterate our support for changes that will improve the quality of the information that is presented in periodic reports. This, as opposed to increasing the frequency of what is at best marginally useful data, will best serve the interests of mutual fund shareholders.
I. Requiring More Frequent Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Will Not Help Mutual Fund Shareholders
In considering any change to the current portfolio holdings disclosure requirements, the Commission, as a threshold matter, needs to establish that there is a valid policy basis for making such a change. To date, however, there has been no demonstration that requiring more frequent disclosure would significantly benefit mutual fund shareholders.3
A. Mutual Fund Shareholders Have Not Indicated That They Want More Frequent Portfolio Holdings Disclosure
Notwithstanding the results of an investor survey of dubious value,4 our members report that they have experienced virtually no demand from fund shareholders for more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure. Indeed, several of our members have informed us that they previously sent portfolio holdings information to shareholders in quarterly reports but have discontinued the practice and received no complaints from shareholders.
To the extent that an investor does desire more frequent disclosure of fund portfolio holdings, we note that many mutual funds voluntarily provide such information more often than semi-annually and that this disclosure is readily available to those shareholders who want it. The Institute recently conducted an informal survey of the portfolio holdings disclosure practices of the 100 largest mutual fund groups.5 Fifty-seven fund groups responded to the survey (representing $5.15 trillion, or 73.3 percent of total industry assets under management). (See Appendix A for survey results.) Of these, 24 fund groups, with respect to a total of 1,403 funds, reported that they disclose all fund holdings to shareholders more frequently than required under SEC rules. Moreover, 55 of the 57 fund groups responding to the survey reported that they disclose top fund holdings to all shareholders in between semi-annual reporting periods. Thus, investors for whom the frequency of portfolio holdings disclosure is an important consideration have ample choices under the existing regulatory requirements.
The fact that many funds currently disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently than is required by law demonstrates that the current regulatory scheme provides funds with appropriate flexibility to adopt disclosure regimes that best serve their shareholders. Funds that do not disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently than semi-annually have made a determination that it is not in the best interests of their shareholders to do so.6
B. There Is No Evidence That Requiring More Frequent Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Would Help Fund Shareholders
Forcing mutual funds to disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently would be particularly inappropriate given that more frequent disclosure would provide no meaningful benefits. In the case of shareholders of actively managed funds, a static "snapshot" of individual portfolio holdings as of a particular date is of limited value. More frequent "snapshots," in addition to raising the serious concerns discussed later in this letter, would focus undue attention on individual portfolio securities and could encourage a short-term investment perspective. These results would be wholly inconsistent with the basic nature and investment philosophy of most mutual funds. A mutual fund is not a pre-selected basket of specific securities, nor is it intended as a short-term trading vehicle. Rather, when investors purchase mutual fund shares, they are buying an interest in an investment pool that is professionally managed to meet specified investment objectives and is generally designed for long-term shareholders.
Some have asserted that the Commission should require funds to disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently than semi-annually because this would discourage abusive practices known as "window dressing" and "portfolio pumping." These assertions are misguided. To the extent that window dressing and portfolio pumping are practices that actually occur, the Commission has adequate authority to redress them.7 You have previously indicated that a task force of the Commission's Office of Compliance Inspections and Examinations is looking into these practices by examining trading patterns of fund portfolio securities for possible violations of the securities laws.8 We support this initiative and believe that such examinations are a much more appropriate and effective means to detect and deter any such practices.
II. Requiring More Frequent Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Would Harm Fund Shareholders
Requiring more frequent disclosure of fund portfolio holdings not only would fail to benefit fund shareholders – it would facilitate practices that harm them. More frequent disclosure would expand opportunities for speculators and other professional traders to exploit the information in ways that are detrimental to fund shareholders. These practices include trading ahead of funds that are in the process of building or eliminating positions in stocks or other securities. Our members have developed their current policies concerning portfolio holdings disclosure with this in mind. Several of them have expressed serious concerns about their ability to protect shareholders' interests if portfolio holdings information is required to be disseminated more frequently.9
It should be noted that mutual fund firms are not the only ones expressing the concern that mandating more frequent portfolio disclosure will fuel trading practices that harm fund shareholders. For example, a well-known mutual fund columnist has cautioned fund investors that:
[I]f your fund starts telling everyone what it owns each month, Wall Street's sharp traders will be able to follow – far better than they already can – what your fund is doing. These folks can profit by trading ahead of a big fund, buying whatever the fund is buying and selling what it's selling. That maneuvering by outside speculators will drive up the price your fund pays for stocks – and drive down the price it gets when it sells. As a result, higher trading costs will eat away at your returns.10
Indeed, even those petitioning the Commission to require more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure implicitly acknowledge the possibility that these adverse consequences may occur.11
A. There Is Strong Empirical Evidence That Requiring More Frequent Portfolio Holdings Disclosure Would Facilitate Practices That Harm Fund Shareholders
In order to examine in a more rigorous fashion the harmful consequences of requiring more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure, the Institute retained Professor Russ Wermers (Department of Finance, Robert H. Smith School of Business, University of Maryland at College Park) to analyze the potential effects of more frequent portfolio disclosure on mutual fund performance. Drawn from existing research, Professor Wermers' study concludes that, if more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure were required, abusive activities would become more widespread and would adversely impact fund performance.12 Professor Wermers' study, which is attached as Appendix B, identifies and discusses specific examples of these activities. As a result of these activities, the study states, "the total return that shareholders receive from mutual fund investments would likely be lower than under the current disclosure standard."13
1. Fund Portfolio Disclosure and "Front Running"
Professor Wermers' study finds that more frequent disclosure of portfolio holdings has the potential to raise fund trading costs by increasing the risk that outsiders would use the information to successfully anticipate fund trades and capture the price impact by trading ahead of funds. Such front running can result in higher prices for fund purchases of securities and lower prices for fund sales. Importantly, the study points out that front running likely would occur even if disclosure of portfolio holdings were made subject to a lag of 30 or 60 days, particularly in the case of large trades. Thus, claims that lag times would prevent front running, while possibly true in the case of smaller trades in more liquid securities, are, according to Professor Wermers, simply inaccurate in the case of larger trades or trades of less liquid securities that take longer to complete.
2. Fund Portfolio Disclosure and "Free Riding"
According to the study, more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure also could facilitate the ability of outside investors to obtain for free the benefits of fund research and investment strategies that fund shareholders pay for. "Free riders" could duplicate fund holdings or portfolio strategies which, in turn, might prevent a fund from fully realizing the potential returns from its research efforts by moving security prices before the fund has a chance to fully implement its investment strategies. In this way, these "free riders" expropriate the results of proprietary research and strategies that fund shareholders pay for.
More frequent disclosure of portfolio holdings not only would facilitate direct mimicking of a fund's holdings but also it would facilitate "reverse engineering." The study explains that this form of free riding occurs when an outside investor applies statistical techniques to portfolio holdings information to infer a fund's stock-picking strategies, strategic choices, or even holdings of specific securities. The study notes that the feasibility and precision of such inferences become greater as the frequency of portfolio holdings disclosure increases. It concludes that disclosing fund portfolio holdings more frequently than semi-annually, even with a 60-day lag, would substantially increase the potential for free riding because of the potential return that an outside investor could capture through such a strategy.
B. Professional Traders Already Are Exploiting Mutual Fund Portfolio Disclosures
Professor Wermers' analysis provides strong support for the theory that requiring more frequent disclosure of fund portfolio holdings would be harmful to fund shareholders. Significantly, though, concerns about the adverse effects of more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure on fund shareholders are not just theoretical. Professional traders and others already exploit information about fund portfolio holdings that is currently available.
A review of financial websites on the Internet reveals a number of services that claim to provide clients with the ability to "piggyback" off of mutual fund research and investment strategies.14 For example, one such service asks: "Why not pick the minds of the best money managers in the world to help build your portfolio?"15 This service explains on its website that it draws on the research of professional money managers. "[The service] allows you to take advantage of the wealth of research conducted by institutional money managers [who] invest an enormous amount of time and money performing research and analysis."16
This service's website addresses the issue of whether the information provided is unreliable because it is stale:
Absolutely not. It is true that the data we are looking at is from information that the funds reported six to twelve weeks ago. However, funds usually make big commitments to particular holdings for a long-term investment; so it is unlikely that a fund will reverse a large buy in a short time frame. More importantly ... [m]omentum trends often result in upward price movement over many months or even years. Only four weeks after the close of each quarter, [the service] begins to identify stocks that institutions and mutual funds are accumulating on a large scale, stocks whose future the market is just beginning to discover.17
As set forth in Appendix C, our initial scan of the Internet uncovered three services being offered to anyone who wants to trade stocks and other securities on the basis of information regarding the holdings of mutual funds and other institutional money managers. It seems reasonable to believe that this is a small sample of those who may be using this information in such a manner. To cite just one obvious example, there may be private money managers who use similar strategies but who do not publicly solicit clients.
Undoubtedly, these professional traders would welcome a requirement for more frequent disclosure of mutual fund portfolio holdings because such a requirement would enhance their ability to take advantage of the research and investment acumen that is meant to benefit the fund shareholders who are paying for it. It also likely would encourage still more speculators and opportunists to try to "piggyback" off the work of mutual fund managers.
What is more important is that the gains for those who would exploit this information will come at the direct expense of fund shareholders. For this reason, it seems apparent that requiring funds to disclose their portfolio holdings more frequently than semi-annually would contravene the Commission's investor protection mandate.
III. The Commission Should Review Current Reporting Requirements for Institutional Money Managers
In addition to disclosing fund portfolio holdings semi-annually in shareholder reports, mutual fund managers generally must file quarterly reports on Form 13F ("13F Reports") with the Commission if they manage, in the aggregate, at least $100 million in certain equity securities.18 The information provided in 13F Reports differs from the schedule of investments required in fund shareholder reports in several respects. For example, 13F Reports disclose an investment manager's aggregate holdings of the securities required to be reported. The holdings of each individual mutual fund or other account over which the manager has investment discretion are not broken out separately. In addition, 13F Reports are limited to exchange-traded or Nasdaq-quoted equity securities included in a list published by the Commission. Thus, unlike the schedule of investments included in shareholder reports, 13F Reports do not include certain types of securities, such as foreign securities (unless they trade on a U.S. exchange) or fixed income securities.
Another important difference is that, when filing 13F Reports, investment managers are permitted to request confidential treatment of certain types of information, including information that would reveal an investment manager's program of acquisition or disposition that is ongoing both at the end of a reporting period and at the time of filing the Form 13F.19
As a result of the distinctions described above, the disclosures included in 13F Reports may not facilitate the same degree of harmful trading practices as disclosure of individual fund portfolio holdings. Nevertheless, like fund portfolio holdings disclosure, and especially when combined with such disclosure, 13F Reports likely facilitate front running and free riding practices that hurt fund shareholders. Indeed, the services referred to above and described in Appendix C to this letter clearly rely in significant part on information from 13F Reports.
For this reason, in addition to recommending against a requirement for more frequent disclosure of fund portfolio holdings, the Institute recommends that the Commission commence a review of the 13F reporting requirements. We note that one of the primary purposes behind the enactment of Section 13(f) of the 1934 Act in 1975 was to create a central depository of information about the investment activities of institutional investment managers in order to allow regulatory agencies to analyze their influence and impact on the securities markets. Since the enactment of Section 13(f), however, there is no evidence that the Commission has made extensive use of this information for the purposes intended by Congress or for any other reason.
In addition, while Section 13(f) also was intended to provide greater public disclosure of institutional holdings, Congress could not possibly have anticipated the technological advances since 1975 that have greatly increased the speed and ease with which the information in 13F Reports may be accessed and disseminated. A clearly unintended consequence of the accessibility of this information has been to support private firms' packaging the information to facilitate predatory securities trading practices, such as front running mutual fund trades or free riding on funds' investment research – practices which, as noted earlier, likely are harming mutual fund shareholders.
Thus, it appears that 13F Reports are not serving one of their primary purposes; yet, at the same time, they are being used for purposes not contemplated by Congress and in a manner that is directly contrary to the protection of investors. Based on these developments, the Commission should conduct a review of the 13F requirements to determine what modifications (e.g., to the frequency of filing such reports) are needed to ensure that 13F Reports achieve their designated objectives without promoting activities that negatively impact mutual fund shareholders.20
IV. The SEC Should Propose Changes To Improve the Usefulness of Disclosures About Mutual Fund Portfolio Holdings
Based on the serious potential for harm to fund shareholders, the Institute is hopeful that the staff agrees that it would be a grave error for the Commission to mandate more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure by all funds. The risks of harm to fund shareholders far outweigh any potential benefits.
Instead of increasing the frequency of portfolio holdings disclosure, the Commission should propose changes that would improve the usefulness of portfolio information in shareholder reports. For example, as the Institute previously recommended,21 the Commission should streamline the schedule of investments to simplify the information contained in fund shareholder reports. More specifically, the current requirement to disclose all fund investments in shareholder reports generally is not helpful to most investors and should be revised to require disclosure of any holding constituting more than one percent of a fund's net assets and, at a minimum, the fund's 50 largest holdings.22 The Commission could further require that a complete list of fund holdings be made available free of charge upon request.
In addition, the Commission should consider requiring graphic presentations of portfolio information, such as a pie chart showing different categories of securities held in a fund's portfolio (e.g., broken down by industry sector, credit quality, or other characteristic). Many funds already provide graphic presentations of the fund's investments. A Commission requirement to do so would extend this practice more broadly and facilitate investor understanding of a fund's portfolio holdings. Under any such requirement, funds should retain the flexibility to determine what type of chart, table or graph would provide the most useful information to shareholders given the fund's investment objectives and limitations.

The Institute appreciates the opportunity to share its views on this important topic with the staff. We look forward to working with you and the Commission as you continue to consider ways to improve fund shareholder reports.

3 Indeed, many of the proponents of more frequent portfolio holdings disclosure do not appear to represent the interests of fund shareholders generally. Rather, their own business or other interests would be served by having access to more frequent fund portfolio information. These are not the interests the Commission is charged with protecting when it promulgates regulations.
4 See MetaMarkets Press Release, "Do You Know What Stocks Are in Your Mutual Fund Today?" at http://www.metamarkets.com/about/release_000710.jhtml (describing the results of a June 2000 survey of mutual fund investors commissioned by MetaMarkets.com). Among other weaknesses, the survey failed to measure the respondents' current use of portfolio holdings information to provide a benchmark for assessing expected use of more frequent disclosure. In addition, in summarizing the survey results, MetaMarkets drew the unsupported conclusion that responses regarding investors' knowledge (or lack thereof) of their funds' current holdings indicated a strong demand for exact, current information on fund holdings. A more appropriate interpretation of the data is that investors do not know the current holdings of their mutual funds because they do not review the portfolio holdings information that is currently provided to them. Finally, the survey emphasizes more frequent disclosure without indicating any associated costs or risks to fund shareholders, which is unrealistic. It is predictable that investors would indicate a desire for more information if receiving it did not involve any associated costs or risks.
5 A summary of the survey results is set forth in Appendix A to this letter. The 100 largest mutual fund groups were identified based on assets under management as of March 31, 2001.
6 It is important to note that because any additional costs associated with a requirement to provide portfolio holdings disclosure more frequently would be passed through to shareholders, fund management companies derive no benefit from "holding back" portfolio information. Their only incentive in declining to provide the information more often is to protect the fund and its shareholders.

As discussed further below, such a time lag would not effectively address these risks.

18 Rule 13f-1(a) requires any institutional investment manager that exercises investment discretion with respect to accounts holding "Section 13(f) securities" having an aggregate fair market value on the last trading day of any month of any calendar year of at least $100,000,000 to file a 13F Report with the Commission within 45 days after the last day of such calendar year and within 45 days after the last day of each of the first three calendar quarters of the subsequent calendar year. The reports are filed on the Commission's EDGAR system and can be accessed by the public over the Internet.
19 Although there is a provision that permits mutual funds to avoid identifying individual securities in the schedule of investments included in shareholder reports under certain circumstances (see Section 12-12 of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act of 1933 at n.1), it differs significantly from the confidential treatment provisions for 13F Reports. For example, it imposes a five percent limit on the total value of securities that may be listed as "miscellaneous securities" and not specifically identified. In addition, it does not extend to situations where a fund is either disposing of a position in a security or adding to an existing position if the securities have been held for a year or longer or have previously been reported by name.

Randy Travis At The Horseshoe Riverdome
Additional Information
Show is at 8:00 PM
Randy Bruce Traywick was the second of six children. His father Harold, raised turkeys, bred horses, and ran a construction business, and his mother Bobbie, worked in a textile plant. Randy's father always wanted him to become a country singer, filling the house with the sounds of Hank Williams and Stonewall Jackson albums.
Harold bought his four sons western outfits and guitars, and promoted them locally as the Traywick Brothers. By the time Randy was ten years old, he and his brother, Ricky, had their own duo, playing throughout the South at fiddler's conventions, private parties, VFW halls and anywhere and everywhere they could draw a crowd. Even at his young age Randy's voice startled people with its resonance. He dropped out of school in the ninth grade, and after that-fast cars, drinking and drugs lead to a series of scrapes with the law.
At age 16, Randy entered a talent show hosted by Country City USA as a soloist. After winning the competition hands down, he was invited by the club owner,
Lib Hatcher, to play regularly at the famed night spot. He then relocated to Charlotte. It was a stint that lasted the better part of five years with Randy first performing on week-ends and eventually full-time. Hatcher took over management of the fledgling singer and in the late 70's Randy recorded two singles for Paula Records, "Dreamin'" and "She's My Woman" with Joe Stampley producing.
In 1981 Randy made the move to Nashville, commuting regularly to Charlotte to perform at Country City, USA. He spent most of his time writing songs and getting acquainted with the Nashville scene.
Eventually Hatcher began management of another club, The Nashville Palace, where Randy worked cooking catfish and washing dishes, as well as singing on stage. It wasn't long before he had developed a following there as well, changing his stage name to Randy Ray. The exposure lead to appearances on Nashville Now and Nashville After Hours. His Nashville popularity grew by increasing word-of-mouth as people touted him as an outstanding newcomer.
In 1983 while performing at the club, Randy recorded his first album independently and called it, "Randy Ray-Live at the Nashville Palace." The album was mostly sold at the club between shows and is now a collector's item and out of circulation.

Anyone else experience this?
So, when I found out I was pregnant, and it was safe to tell our friends, family, etc., I noticed that some of our friends just stopped wanting to hang out. I thought it was really weird, since in particular, with one of these couples, he is my husband's cousin and his wife, and we always used to hang out with them. Since I've been pregnant, I think we've seen them twice. Those two times were at a wake and a funeral. I have also experienced that with other people too. Not sure why that is. I know that there are some people who are not interested in having kids, but I'm sure all of their friends are not childless....hmm.....
I guess it upsets me, because I never thought some of these people would act like that...
Not all our friends have been like this. We've had a lot of great people who stick by us and are thrilled we are expecting.
Comment deleted
It does feel very hurtful. It feels as if they think just because you are pregnant, you can't do anything anymore, because you can't have fun when you're pregnant I guess.... I still continue to have fun, pregnant or not. I may not be able to drink with them, but I can still socialize and have a good time.
Comment deleted
Wow!!! That's crazy! People can be real jerks and SO judgmental of other people!
Do you know if any of them are struggling to conceive? That was my first thought because if they are then they may be struggling with the fact you are pregnant and they are not.
I know most of them have children themselves too. Some have older children, but some are younger as well, and some don't have children. I know the case with his cousin and his wife, he has two children and she is the stepmother, but she loves them like they were her own.
Guess that rules out that idea. Strange, I mean this is your first child. People are weird sometimes.
They are. I think it's hurtful to me because while I love my husband with all my heart, and love being around him, sometimes I just want girl time with some of my besties. You know? I'm very hormonal I guess...
I experience this as well. But it's my boyfriend's friends. Whom are all males, single, bachelors. So it's to be expected. I've been trying to go to dinner outtings with them but I've noticed that I just can't 'hang' because I get tired by 930. Plus, it's different now that I don't drink. And usually they wind up at a bar. I end up wanting to pass out at the bar table next to my glass of water.
Having children changes just about everything including your relationships with other people. I think some people like Mara Gee said think you just won't have time for them anymore. They are under the impression that life just stops once you decide to have kids. Which is totally false. I found some of my friends and I just don't spend as much time together because now we have less in common because our lives are now so different. But I also found that once i had her i made new friends, who did have kids and did understand it was a whole new world of other parents.
I still have some of my old friends from before but i gained a lot of new too!

Weapons are the most commonly sealed objects. Tenten, a weapons specialist from Konohagakure for example, uses this technique to store her many weapons, making them easier to carry around with her. Toroi of Kumogakure also used this technique to store his shuriken which he used in battle. Puppet masters also use this technique with their puppets either through hidden scrolls in various compartments or a simple seal as a means of increasing their own killing potential as well as hiding useful weapons from the opponent's sight. This can be seen with Sasori's Thousand Hands Manipulation Force.
A wide variety of other things can also be stored in scrolls, to be released when the scroll is opened or under a specific condition. In the manga, this is done with the Water Prison Technique by Kisame Hoshigaki. Along with a medium for his sharks, it was used effectively as a trap, immobilising the persons that tried to read the scroll. In the anime this is seen when Shikamaru summoned a large amount of water, and with Tenten's Exploding Dragon Strike technique.

Refill, don't replace
saving money and helping the environment can fit together like …
well, like the way the printer ink cartridge fits into your computer
you've been buying brand-name ink cartridges for your printer, you've
surely noticed the high prices. Critics have said that,
ounce-for-ounce, printer ink often costs more than perfume.
But you
can save up to 50 percent – and help reduce waste and conserve
resources – by purchasing refilled or remanufactured cartridges. You
have an increasing number of choices now, so if you've shied away from
those lower-cost alternatives in the past, it's time to give them
another look.
First, a quick primer on printers. Many households and
small businesses have color inkjet printers, which use liquid ink.
Offices commonly use laser printers that use powdery toners.
inkjet printer manufacturers attract buyers with rock-bottom prices -
as low as $30 for a new printer. Once you buy the printer, you need
cartridges, and that's where companies make the bulk of their profits.
The original manufacturer's replacement ink cartridge for that $30
printer may cost you – about $30.
It takes 2-½ ounces of oil to
produce the plastic in a new inkjet cartridge, and 3-½ quarts of oil to
make a toner cartridge, says Recharger Magazine, a trade journal for
the cartridge reuse industry. More than 250 million inkjet and toner
cartridges are disposed of in the U.S. every year, according to
And there's really no need to throw them out. Laser toner
cartridges are reusable, and most inkjet cartridges can also be
refilled and reused a half-dozen times or more.
The printer
manufacturers try to discourage this, by issuing dire warnings of the
risks of using other inks in their printers, frequently changing the
cartridge technology and even taking remanufacturers and refillers to
But with all the money at stake, entrepreneurs have jumped
in. Refill shops are the latest trend. At these shops, you can have
your old ink cartridge refilled on the spot, or turn in your cartridge
and buy an identical one that they've already refilled. Three national
chains of refill shops have a total of 14 stores in the Puget Sound
area: Cartridge World (www.cartridgeworldusa.com), Island Ink-Jet
(www.islandinkjet.com) and Rapid Refill Ink (www.rapidrefillink.com).
They also sell remanufactured toner cartridges.
office-supply and drugstore chains have also gotten into the act.
Office Depot, OfficeMax and Walgreens are testing inkjet-refill service
at selected stores around the country, and will likely roll out the
service nationally soon.
The printer manufacturers insist that their
printers perform better with their own inks. Tests by Consumer Reports
in 2004 and 2005 indicated that the printer manufacturer's brands do
perform best overall, but that some off-brands may be fine for basic
printing. Consumer Reports did not test the newer refill chains.
refill chains say the quality of their cartridges is higher than
remanufactured cartridges that have previously been available. All
three of the major refill chains with local stores guarantee their
cartridges. In some cases, the chains test refilled cartridges before
they sell them.
If you use your printer mainly for things like maps,
recipes and the kids' homework, refilled cartridges should work just
fine. When I replaced a black ink cartridge in my home printer with one
that had been refilled by a local chain, I couldn't tell the
difference. But for photos you're going to keep for generations, you
may want to use the brand-name cartridges.
Because used inkjet and
toner printer cartridges have so much value for the refilling and
remanufacturing markets, you should never throw them away. Many schools
and nonprofits collect cartridges for fundraisers, and some stores also
accept them at no charge. For listings of cartridge collection programs
and locations, see the King County "What do I do with?" Web site
(www.metrokc.gov/dnrp/swd/wdidw) and select "Printing Cartridges.
all this activity, it's a golden age of reuse for printer cartridges.
Take advantage of it now, because with all the money at stake, and the
courts involved, the picture could change quickly

It was producedby the wonderfully named Irving Klaw.
Before the film, though, let's watch the trailer. The voiceover is stupendous.

Dan Peek Dies At 60
July 27, 2011 by staff
Dan Peek Dies At 60, Dan Peek, a founding member of the folk-rock band of America – which had a worldwide hit with the song "A Horse with No Name" – died at age 60, his former bandmates said on Wednesday. Peek-born Americans, who formed the Grammy-winning band with fellow musicians Gerry Beckley and Dewey Bunnell after the meeting in London in the last 60 years, died in his sleep on Sunday, they said.
"I'm sorry to learn of the passing of Dan," Bunnell said in a statement on the website of the band, recalling that the three had "a time of joy, full of excitement and laughter" together. The trio, who met at the London Central High School, shot to fame with the single "A Horse with No Name", taken from his debut album titled "America," released in 1971, according to its website.
He went to do an album a year before Peek left the band in 1977 to pursue a solo career, influenced by his Christian faith, before entering semi-retirement in the Cayman Islands in the 1990s, with its wife Catherine.
Watch wrote an autobiography, "an American band: The Story of America," focused on his time in the band and his own spiritual development.
"We created music together and lasting experience of a life that could never have imagined," said Bunnell.
"Despite that eventually went our separate ways, their contributions to the music of" America "have always been and will last forever. This news brings great sadness," he added.
Beckley said: "Dan & his music will live in the great songs you shared with us all my sincere condolences go out to Catalina and the whole family look at he rest in peace…"

EDAG Light Cocoon concept employs weatherproof textile skin over a bionically-inspired, back-lit trellis frameView gallery - 18 images
EDAG traditionally produces a concept car incorporating "new thought" for the Geneva Motor Show each year and the 2015 concept car might initially stretch your imagination beyond "business as usual." The EDAG Light Cocoon Concept uses a weatherproof textile instead of the traditional metal skin for the car's panels, stretched over a bionically-inspired trellis body structure, then back-lit for effect.
Alongside Rinspeed, EDAG's concept cars are the most fun of all regular concepts to write up - they invariably push the boundaries of what's possible, and they're always using new techniques and technologies which are viable or soon-to-be viably incorporated in our transportation devices.
More than 1,500 New Atlas Plus subscribers directly support our journalism, and get access to our premium ad-free site and email newsletter. Join them for just US$19 a year.UPGRADE
ROW-BY-ROW, RIGHT-TO-LEFT: Some of EDAG's previous showcars include the genX for those who prefer to be of no-fixed-address, the Show Car No. 8 from 2005, the marine concept LUV luxury SUV, a removable hardtop for the Pontiac Solstice which turned it into a Shooting Brake, the 2009 open-source Light Car, the BIWAK Volkswagen Beetle Estate Car of 2006, the Porsche-based Chopster, the EDAG Scout of 1999, and the Cinema 7D "cinema on wheels" from 2005.
Regular Gizmag readers will no doubt remember the EDAG Genesis, from earlier this year which we billed as the "3D printed car of the future."
The EDAG Genesis employed biomimicry, essentially solving complex engineering problems by imitating solutions provided by nature. In the case of the GENESIS, it used the turtle's shell as the central concept in providing protection and cushioning for the occupants of an automobile, then used 3D printing to create the design and give us a 3D visualisation of what the world's leading manufacturers might be producing a decade or two from now.
The EDAG Group has elucidated its target in this process as: "to develop and present practicable and valid applications for use in component development and production. The first stage will be small structural parts; however, we intend to make a real contribution to the development of the revolutionary idea of additive manufacturing." The GENESIS is another example of biomimicry - solving complex engineering problems by imitating solutions provided by nature
Of all the technologies to have emerged from the digital renaissance, additive manufacturing (3D printing) has the potential to be the most disruptive.
From EDAG's March 2014 media release: "The framework of the exhibit calls to mind a naturally developed skeletal frame, the form and structure of which should make one thing perfectly clear: these organic structures cannot be built using conventional tools! In the future, additive manufacturing (3D printing) could benefit designers and engineers by opening up enormous freedoms and new design options for development and production."
In the assessment, a specially developed evaluation matrix was used to quantify the technologies; this included criteria such as structural relevance, possible part size, production tolerance and manufacturing costs. The results showed that a refined FDM process also looked to be a promising candidate for the future-oriented subject of additive manufacturing.
The Genesis was more a conceptual sculpture than an automobile, but the "EDAG Light Cocoon" takes it one step further and gives us a full concept study of a compact, dynamic sports car, and a realistic idea of what future lightweight construction might look like.
Using the same principals as the Genesis, EDAG's engineers have expanded their vision of a bionically-optimised body structure combined with a weatherproof textile outer skin.
In order to be able to implement bionic construction principles and natural strategies, additive manufacturing (3D printing) has also been put to use.
"We are pursuing the vision of sustainability – as demonstrated by nature: lightweight, efficient, and without any waste," explains EDAG's head designer, Johannes Barckmann.
"The result: the 'EDAG Light Cocoon' presents a stable, branch-like load bearing structure from the 3D printer, which only uses material where it is absolutely necessary."
Instead of treating the body as a closed surface, any material not actually needed for the special load cases was removed. EDAG's simulation experts carried out static and dynamic calculations for the basics of this topologically optimised ideal structure, and in this way helped to confirm its suitability as a potential lightweight concept.
The EDAG designers took a leaf as their inspiration for the ultimate, lightweight outer skin. Just as with a leaf, which has an ideal structure with a lightweight outer skin stretched over it, a textile skin covers the "EDAG Light Cocoon".
The Light Cocoon also opens an entirely new realm in automotive aesthetics with the backlight technology illuminating the underlying organic skeleton-like structure. In a world that quite literally has more than a billion same-same automobiles, the "EDAG Light Cocoon" might inspire some interesting creations in the not-so-distant future.
I can't help but think of one of my all-time favourite automobiles when I look at the Light Cocoon: the Ariel Atom. Using a naked trellis frame that's not all that dissimilar to the Light Cocoon, the Atom achieves a preposterous power-to-weight ratio
Last year I flight tested the 300 hp Seabreacher X, another example of bio-engineering based on the shark, and I put together this table of the power-to-weight ratios of the most ballistic toys available to mankind at that time.
Quite clearly, the Ariel Atom V8 punches way above its price category. Not many four-wheelers are capable of getting the front wheels off the ground under acceleration, as the below photo attests.
Weight is the enemy of almost all things enjoyable about motoring: acceleration, braking, efficiency, handling and brain-crushing cornering G-forces. This textile-skinned solution means that you don't need to endure the spartan hardships of an Ariel Atom to get motorcycle-like performance or economy on four wheels.
Now the effectiveness of the solution quite clearly depends on the effectiveness of the skin, and outdoor specialists Jack Wolfskin became a partner in the project due to that company's development of the synthetic outdoor textile known as Texapore Softshell.
"In Jack Wolfskin,the ideal project partner was found to supply a tried and tested stretch fabric that is also extremely weatherproof", said EDAG CTO Jörg Ohlsen.
"Even if it sounds futuristic to begin with, this approach has a its own special appeal: weighing no more than 19 g/m², the Jack Wolfskin material supports maximum lightweight design requirements with minimum weight.
"To give you a comparison: this extremely strong material is four times lighter than standard copier paper. Combined with the topologically optimised, additively manufactured structure, it offers enormous potential and stimulus for the ultimate lightweight construction of the future."

2013 Mercedes-Benz A25 AMG Spy Photos
Luxury styling, AMG performance and compact car sensibility will all be rolled into one package as the Mercedes-Benz A25 AMG, something that has the breadth of enthusiasts excited. Rumored to be in the works, these spy photos are the first confirmation that such a car is being prepped for launch.
The Spy photos that show us almost unmasked details of the new hot hatch came our way today. Last week we reported that the A25 AMG would have all-wheel drive and a turbocharged four cylinder engine making 335 hp.
Those figures place the little Merc in line to outpace the Audi RS3's performance, though it isn't clear exactly when we'll be graced with the little hotrod.
We received confirmation from the automaker last month during the Geneva Motor Show that the coveted A-Class would, in fact, be coming to market in the U.S., but we're not sure exactly when.
If history is anything to base assumptions on, we probably won't get a sip of the hotter AMG version until European consumers get a long drink from the well.
For now, have a look at our first glance of what's sure to be an interesting entrant to the compact segment.

thanksgiving blessings: hero arts STAMPtember exclusive
Hero Arts has released a fantastic new special edition stamp + die set as part of Simon Says Stamp's STAMPtember celebration. Check it out here! I've created a clean and simple single layer card featuring watercolor stripes and a couple of the smaller images from the set along with the main message. Just love that bold script!
How cute is the slice of pumpkin pie? With whipped cream, of course. :)
There's a lot of goodness packed into this little set...
I love that you can use the word "thanks" alone or paired with "giving" to create holiday and non-holiday cards alike. I see myself using the "thanks" stamp to make many thank you cards long after Thanksgiving has passed. The small images would also be great to use on place cards for the Thanksgiving table.
Check out the post on the Simon Says Stamp blog for even more inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!

Designed by Garrett Brown, the inventor of the original Steadicam, the Steadicam Merlin2 has an efficient body that's adjustable more than a dozen ways, all with the one aim of achieving smooth, flowing movement with your DSLR, small camcorder or point-and-shoot camera.
The very light and compact Merlin2 is designed with the same engineering principles on which the huge Hollywood Steadicam rigs are built. It features a patented 3-axis and 6-ball-bearing gimbal assembly that provides friction-free movement. The handle can be used left- or right-handed and can be adjusted to find a camera's center of gravity. The dual rods of the body, called spars, connect at joints with efficient tolerances that allow for easy folding, unfolding and storage. This capability even enables shoulder-mounted operation. Merlin2 also features counterweights at two different points along the spars for more controlled counterbalancing.
Follow your subject down a street or up a staircase, and you'll get shots as smooth as those enabled by Brown's original Steadicam, which Stanley Kubrick used in his horror masterpiece, The Shining. The video before you discusses many features not mentioned here. You'll learn about mounting options, long-lens support and maneuverability, and you'll see actual footage shot using the Merlin2.
