Congratulations on the new album 'Midnight'! How was it been received so far?
Thanks so much! it's been a journey getting this one recorded and ready but I've loved every step of it and I cannot wait for people to hear it. The songs that we've released so far have been received with open arms so I'm itching for people to hear the full record!
What were your inspirations for the new album? And what sets this record apart from your previous releases?
It's a lot more mature than my previous releases, definitely. That's not knocking my previous releases at all but I've just grown up a bit and I think that my songwriting and musicianship has grown up with me! The inspiration behind this record is a relationship, the before and the after, the highs and the lows, etc. It's an extremely personal record to me but I hope that people can find home in it too.
We read you had over 90 songs written for your first album 'The Morning', were you in a similar situation with the new album? Did any of the previously discarded 90 tracks make the cut this time around?
A few of them did, yes! I wrote a load of new ones for this album though, I was just in a space where songs were flowing and so I let them! I already have a few lined up for the next album though. It's a great thing, being able to fall back on a bank of songs for discovering old gems and inspiration for new music!
As someone who in the earlier part of their career rose to prominence through YouTube, do you think it's how upcoming artists will make a name for themselves in the future?
I think it's a great platform, it certainly helped me build an audience in the early days! I was very lucky though, I was on YouTube in the early days, when there weren't that many musicians using it and I'd get a lot of traffic because of that. Nowadays, it's much more saturated with musical content so it'd be a lot harder to poke through the masses! Don't let that discourage you though! Good music will always rise to the top!

how to you know if your pretty or not? at my school there's only a few guys that think I'm pretty but then people I don't know always tell me I'm pretty and I even got asked out by a guy I didn't know and he said he asked me out cause I was so pretty but then the guys at school all think I'm ugly and they always like the girls who are hoes how can I be beautiful?
Most Helpful Girl
Honey I'm sure your pretty if most guys tell you that and they don't even know you. Some guys at your school probably do think your beautiful and mayb beyond that. Some guys do go for the hoes just because they know they will get something. Not all guys are like that though just go for the group of guys that aren't like that because if you date someone like that your putting your self out there to be hurt. I honestly think that the way to kno if your pretty is if people date you for the inside out not just by looks because there is so much more than the looks that count.00|00|0

Erdogan at Turkey's Grand National Assembly
Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) and opposition Nationalist Movement Party (MHP) have agreed on the country's new constitution draft bill and today presented it to Parliament.
Initial reports suggest the new constitution, which was dubbed the 'Executive Presidential Constitution' because of the systemic change it proposes to transfer power to current President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, does not offer any solutions to the issues that have plagued Turkey since its foundation.
In a press conference today MHP MP Mehmet Parsak and AKP deputy Abdulhamit Gül made statements about the new bill formed of 21 articles.
Commenting on the change the ultra nationalist party MHP's MP Parsak said, "Our constitution is a Turkish constitution. We are not proposing the removal of the term 'Turk' from anywhere in the constitution, this is not up for discussion. Furthermore the first 4 articles are also not up for discussion."
The first 4 articles of the constitution relate to state's form of government, it's adherence to nationalism and Turkey's founder Ataturk, the state's unity and language and that the first 3 articles cannot be changed.
The new constitution also proposes the abolition of the Prime Ministerial position and the transfer of executive power to the President, who will assign himself two deputies.
The power to declare state-of-emergency will be also be handed over to the President, as well the authority to introduce decree laws. The package also proposes that the President will be able to retain links to the political party he or she is a member of.
Commentators have said the new constitution will mean an indefinite state of emergency in the country and a one-man rule. In a recent speech President Erdogan equated the 'presidential system' with the future of Turkey and said that without a change the country would be divided.
The new bill has also met with early criticism because it does not address any of the Turkey's chronic issues, such as the Kurdish question and the rights of other religious and ethnic groups. The new constitution also foresees a centralisation of power rather than the devolution of it, which was proposed by the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) to resolve the Kurdish issue.
The draft constitution will need to get more than 367 votes in Parliament to pass directly without the need for a referendum. However, the AKP has said it will hold a referendum even if this is case. The change to the constitution requires a 50 percent vote in favor in a referendum.
The AKP has 316 seats while the MHP has 40 lawmakers in parliament; both parties back the bill.
Although it is certain that the HDP will reject the bill, the main opposition Republic People's Party (CHP) may be divided on the matter.

Roger Ebert became film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967. He is the only film critic with a star on Hollywood Walk of Fame and was named honorary life member of the Directors' Guild of America. He won the Lifetime Achievement Award of the Screenwriters' Guild, and honorary degrees from the American Film Institute and the University of Colorado at Boulder.
At the end of December, our public television program "Ebert Presents At The Movies" will go on hiatus while we find necessary funding. This move is necessary to allow the public television stations that carry our show to plan their programs for the beginning of the new year. We held off as long as possible but we had to give notice today.
It was a sad but necessary moment of realism. The show is nationally distributed by American Public Television (APT), and they have been very helpful. They send us to more than 95% of the U.S. public television audience and all 50 top markets. The show is also distributed overseas by the American Forces Network to over 175 countries and even to Navy ships. But in mapping out their 2012 program schedules, APT's member stations need to know what they can count on.
In my Nov. 6 blog entry about the show, I explained that Chaz and I were essentially financing the show ourselves, except for a kind donation from the Kanbar Charitable Trust. In the comments, we received many helpful suggestions from readers and viewers, including possible outlets on cable and commercial TV, internet distribution, and so on.
People have been very supportive. We've spoken to the top executives of several channels and film distributors, charitable foundations, web delivery services, potential corporate sponsors, and crowd-funding sources. And we are still talking with them, but the time crunch has intervened. It is a complicated process, and so we are going on hiatus while we sort it out.
During this period I've been moved by the determination of Chaz and our team to push ahead. We really believe in this show and its mission to provide an intelligent place for the discussion of movies in a forum accessible to the public, and in a manner that is easily understood yet that feeds the thirst for both entertainment and knowledge.
The show has been a success. We will have produced 50 episodes. In Christy Lemire and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky we have co-hosts whose chemistry has ignited, and who provide two definitely different viewpoints, which is the idea. We have developed a cadre of Contributors who have created video essays and festival reports.
We hope our hiatus will be brief. You have told us you like the show. And we now have options. A touching number of viewers offered to send us money directly. One of the avenues we may take is a Kickstarter campaign, as you suggested. We will let you know as soon as that is worked out.
Please have faith in us as we sort through the possibilities. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

App Turns Boring Exercise Into A Fun Game
There's a new fitness app on the market from the developer, Fit Brains, that hopes to get people back into their healthy routines by turning a regular walking exercise into a fun social game. The app is called Arookoo and it helps motivate iPhone and iPod Touch users to take regular walks by sending them on challenges with rewards for certain achievements (by increasing the number of steps per day).
If you needed to tap into that extra Dopamine supply in order to get your daily exercise, this may just be the ticket.
Users can take part in activities such as GPS map-based "scavenger hunts" or daily team challenges with friends to make walks a more fun-filled experience.
There is also an enhanced health tracker that provides features such as "snack burner", allowing users to choose a food and have the app tell them when they've walked enough to burn it off. You can get it today for free, or pay an additional $3 to get a detailed health tracking feature that says calories burned and distance walked. Hopefully this awesome app will come with Android support in the near future, I mean, why do Apple users get a healthier lifestyle while Droid gets fatter and fatter?

I am very fond of a guy that I both work and am friends with.
We have known each other for three years. He is not as close to other works as he is to me.
He reveals more information to me, contacts me out of work, introduces me to his friends and comes to me (sometimes) for support. As do I in return.
There has always been something between us, especially in the last 6 months. We both flirt a lot.
I am no sure if he is aware of the bond, as I only became aware of it when i was overseas last year.
He has been casually (stressing the casual) dating a girl all year.
Out of nowhere he came up to me at work and asked "now that you are on holidays from university, what are you doing about your dating life"
I replied, well now I'm free to pursue things. (Working 40 hour weeks/over-loading at uni left no time)
A few conversations later he says "I am now on the streets, the casual relationship i had is over finite.
He mentioned to me a few weeks ago "I only tell people things if they ask (to do with his love life," this is one thing he often hides from me.)
So do you think he is implying something between us.
Or was he just trying to bring up conversation?
Telling me he is single? Asking about my dating situation?
I am very fond of a guy that I both work and am friends with.

One of the greats of American distance running, the elder Centrowitz made the 1976 Olympic team in the 1500 meters. After moving up to the 5000 meters, he earned a berth on the 1980 team, which did not compete due to the Moscow boycott. He won four national titles in the 5000, notching a U.S. record in 1982. Centrowitz later turned to coaching, notably building the program at American University into a Division I power.
But perhaps his best pupil is the one he raised. Among all the father-son talks during Matthew's breakout year of 2011, the conversation they had that June, just before the national championships, stands out: "Dad told me, Enjoy your experience out there as a college kid. You're not going to have too many more races like this one—when you're just an anonymous kid with no pressure on you, no expectations."
"That little talk was vintage Dad," says Centrowitz, who trains with running legend Alberto Salazar. "Dad was telling me to relax and have fun. But at the same time he was letting me know this might be the start of something big. It confirmed what I'd been feeling for awhile—that I was approaching world class."
Later that summer, Centrowitz won bronze in the 1500 meters at the 2011 World Championships in South Korea, becoming the youngest American ever to medal in the 1500 on the world stage. Centrowitz admits that his dad was right about how those two races would alter his reality: His newfound notoriety in professional sports circles was initially overwhelming, but that success has bolstered his confidence. "I think differently when I step to the line at a big race," he says. "I now look at the other guys and tell myself, I belong here. I can do this."
Indeed, Matthew might surpass his dad. "I never had a shot at an Olympic medal in the 1500 because I didn't have the world-class wheels," says the father, who failed to reach the finals at the '76 Games. "I might have had a better shot in the 5000 in '80, but due to the boycott, I never got to find out. Those are the breaks. As I've told Matthew many times, success in this sport has a lot to do with good timing and good health. In 2011, he had both of those things. Unlike me, Matthew has the wheels for a world-class 1500. With continued good timing and health, anything is possible for him."
For his part, Centrowitz might add one more key to success and fulfillment: more good talks with his father.

Tech News on G4
'Reach' a towering achievement
Sept 28, 2010
By Daniel Barron - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- Daniel Barron column archive
It's been quite a ride for the Halo series under the control of developer Bungie, but there is absolutely no doubt that from top to bottom, Halo: Reach stands as the best entry in the series.
Multiplayer has always been the bread and butter of any Halo title, and while the campaigns for each successive game have become better over time, they've all been more or less forgettable. 'Reach' bucks that trend, and puts together a story that lives and dies by the memorable characters on Noble Team. Even without the renowned Master Chief, 'Reach' manages to stay consistently gripping. In fact, the game is helped by the fact that there is no Spartan-117.
Of course, the multiplayer portion of 'Reach' is downright spectacular, but we'll get to that in just a moment.
'Reach' takes its name from the planet on which the game is set. It starts shortly before the events of Halo: Combat Evolved, and without giving away any spoilers, the entire plot of Halo: Reach is a lead-up to the events of Combat Evolved, with a direct correlation between it and the subsequent Halo trilogy.
You play as Six, a new recruit for Team Noble, which is a special operations unit of elite Spartan soldiers. It doesn't take long for Noble Team to discover that the evil race known as the Covenant has landed on Reach, and before you know it, you're smack in the middle of a massive battle for the planet.
Though the plot and characters are more interesting than any previous 'Halo' game, the gameplay itself isn't about to change the minds of anyone who disliked the other titles in the series. You'll use many of the same weapons, battle many of the same enemies, and fight in many of the same environments as you did in previous 'Halo' games.
In essence, what Bungie did was take all the best aspects of the previous games, and cut out all the annoying stuff. The best example of this is - hallelujah! - the complete lack of the Flood in 'Reach'. That being said, Bungie inexplicably seems to have something against boss fights, and you'll see none in the campaign. They proved they could pull them off in Halo 3 with the Scarab battles, but ignored them completely in 'Reach' nonetheless.
There are a few tweaks to the 'Halo' formula, of course. There are secondary powers known as 'armor abilities' which allow you to do things like sprint for a short period of time, throw down bubble shields, or become invisible. There are a few new weapons, but some are gone before you can blink, never to be seen again. And there are a couple of flying missions to spice things up, and while in the grand scheme of things they do nothing new, like just about everything else in the Halo universe, these missions play out wonderfully thanks to rock-solid controls.
A lot of these additions aren't really important to the gameplay in the campaign itself, and seem to serve as nothing more than a tutorial for multiplayer. Still, it keeps things somewhat fresh.
The other wonderful aspect of the campaign is Noble Team itself. It's truly refreshing to be introduced to six members of an elite military squad who aren't spewing expletives and cliches every other minute. The characters are all likable, and though there are some overdramatic moments, they aren't of the eye-rolling variety; this is the fate of humanity after all, so of course there's going to be some more sensational moments.
The pacing of the game itself is well done, with large setpieces matched with plenty of more intimate moments. It's rare to feel emotion for video game characters, but if you get through the fantastic final mission and ending without getting at least a tiny lump in your throat, you must have a heart of coal.
The campaign certainly isn't epic in length, but that's a good thing for two reasons: first, it never drags on, and second and more importantly, once you're done the campaign, you can move into the multiplayer portion.
'Halo' games are instantly recognizable, and if you've played one, getting into a subsequent title isn't all that difficult. What Bungie has done with Reach, though, is amazing. It has made the game feel like 'Halo' through and through, but has added just enough tweaks to allow the game to completely stand apart from anything else in the series.
While all the usual suspects (Slayer, Oddball, Capture the Flag, etc.) are back in matchmaking, there are some notable additions. The greatest one has to be Invasion, a game mode that mixes the best aspects of objective and deathmatch and mixes them into one. Classic Invasion sees one team push forward to nodes on the map, while the other attempts to defend. Further nodes in locked sections of the map are unlocked if the attacking team can stand in the defended areas for a set amount of time. It all culminates in a CTF-type ending where the attacking team has to get a power core to a capture point. If the attacking team fails to push forward in the alotted time at any point, they lose.
There's also Invasion Slayer, which is a classic team deathmatch mode that goes up to 100, but certain points on the map can be captured for heavy weapons and vehicles. The weapons and vehicles get more and more powerful throughout the game, allowing the tide to turn even when a team is certain it has no chance of winning (taking control of a Scorpion can work wonders for a team!).
The aforementioned armor abilities are also a great addition to the Halo formula. You choose an ability after every death, so you're not stuck using one ability for an entire match. Certainly, your needs will change as you play - you'll find great use for the Drop Shield while defending a flag in 1-Flag CTF, but once you go on the offensive, using Hologram or Active Camouflage is likely a better bet.
The maps are, as expected in a Halo game, superb, with highlights including the Blood Gulch and Sanctuary remakes, 'Hemorrhage' and 'Asylum', respectively, and new additions 'Powerhouse', 'Countdown' and 'Boardwalk'.
The real beauty is that new maps are constantly coming out thanks to the expanded Forge mode, which allows players to make custom maps and game types. These can all be shared online, making it all a very LittleBigPlanet-esque experience, with plenty of creation and sharing tools for those who can't wait for DLC or are simply brimming with awesome ideas.
Firefight also returns and while it can be a lot of fun, and now supports online matchmaking (just like campaign), it still doesn't have that certain something that other versions of this mode have - we're looking squarely at Gears of War's 'Horde' mode, which still stands as the ultimate in team-based co-op.
Another huge improvement Bungie has added to the online portion of Halo: Reach is the levelling up system. The old system - which to this day we still don't quite understand - has been scrapped for something that is infinitely easier to wrap your head around. It's a credit-based system that sees you get points for doing well in a game. After each game, you see a progress bar at the bottom of the screen move up, clearly illustrating the fact that you did something good. Earn enough credits, and you'll level up.
Though this system is much easier to understand, it's still not perfect, as even from the get-go, it's not easy to level up. Unlike other games where the first few ranks are easily attainable, upgrading in 'Reach' simply isn't going to happen as fast for most people. In addition, you can buy new pieces of equipment in the Armory, but these do nothing to improve your character - it's simply to look cooler. Granted, this is good for keeping the game balanced, but it would be nice to have a few more bonus items, like the one that has you turn into a pile of confetti whenever you die.
There are a lot of extra ways to earn credits, and Bungie should be commended for making this aspect downright addictive. Each day and week, there are new challenges that are added - complete the challenges and you'll get a nice little chunk of credits. They can be anything from earning 30 assists in multiplayermatchmaking in a day, to playing 30 multiplayer matches in a week. If you're into the online portion of 'Reach', it won't be long before you're logging in each day just to see what the challenges are and how much you'll earn for completing them.
One could write a small novel's worth of additions and improvements to Halo: Reach multiplayer, but suffice it to say that it's a game that's certain to have a massive online following for years to come, and deservedly so.
The end product with Halo: Reach is one that serves as a culmination of one of the most prolific video game series of the last decade. With Bungie moving on to new things and leaving the 'Halo' world for other developers, it has quite obviously put its heart and soul into 'Reach'. It has proved that not only does it love the series itself, but also the voracious fans who have put so many hours into the world of the Spartans, the Covenant, and so much else, through the good and the bad.
It's a spectacular end to the Halo story from Bungie. Until the next game, Reach will stand tall as the ultimate game in the series.

Seeking Tutorial On Mini-Hamburger Cupcakes................
Decorating By Anntee Updated 24 Apr 2009 , 9:25pm by Anntee
Anyone have a link? TIA
If you search for Hamburger Cupcakes the gallery there is a user who did these who put directions in her description.
I don't have a tutorial, but I can tell you what I did.
I used a yellow cake and baked it in cupcake tins without wrappers. After they baked and cooled, I cut them in half to make the bun!
For the burger, I made cake balls. Chocolate cake crumbs and chocolate buttercream and formed into a patty.
I used fondant to make the cheese, and buttercream for lettuce (I used a leaf tip), and the condiments. Super easy!
I found this tutorial, I hope you will help
Thanks so much. I'm looking forward to making these for our next b-b-q!

Music lovers like me are not surprising to fall in love with the Marshall London phone. The giant and iconic amp maker slowly moved to coming up with other products like the Bluetooth speakers or the headphones. This was done with the help of Zound Industries. It was totally fun how one of the executives during its press launch event explained how the new smartphone is to f*ck the competition a**.
There surely ain't no better way to say and to convince anyone. That includes me.

The first time I encountered the chef Francisco Alejandri he was cooking at a stall called Agave y Aguacate, in a grotty Latin American food court in Kensington Market. Mr. Alejandri had arranged two induction burners, a toaster, a mortar and pestle and a food processor on a spotless little table, with a mini fridge underneath it; he kept an open-topped deep fryer front and centre where the lineups always formed, exactly where you'd expect a cash register to go.
This was the spring of 2011. Mr. Alejandri worked in a white Panama hat. He moved in slow motion, meticulously drizzling arbequina olive oil in perfect grids over squares of lime charlotte, painstakingly tossing fried tortilla and flank steak salads as if with one false move – red wire! No, blue wire! – the whole enterprise might blow.
"I taste things over and over and over again and if I'm not happy I won't serve it," he told me recently. Friends of mine took to calling the little stall "Forever Taco," for how slowly the food came out. (It didn't serve tacos.)
We never stopped going, though. Mr. Alejandri, who had spent years as a line cook after moving here from central Mexico, served the foods of his childhood, prepared with French-style precision and skill. In place of the burritos, nachos, churros and tacos that you find at most Toronto Mexican spots, he did chile-sauced meatballs from his hometown in Guanajuato state, and crisp, sloppy tostadas piled with stewed chicken and beans.
A year after it opened, Mr. Alejandri abandoned the stall. His standards were too high, he now admits.
Early this year, he opened a real restaurant: a cheery, two-story standalone in Baldwin Village. Partnered with an investor and furniture designer named Keyvan Foroughi, he now has a real stove, a real kitchen, a crew of real cooks behind him. He still doesn't serve tacos. It's as though he has never stopped, as most chefs do, to wonder what the public wants. For that, I thank him. You can't want what you don't yet know.
I would never think to want a poblano chile relleno (a whole stuffed, roasted chile), for instance – not one that's stuffed with cape gooseberry and pineapple-spiked guacamole. On top of it there are pickled red onion and carrot slices, queso fresco, a thin sauce that tastes like summer tomatoes. The flavours soar up above the slow-burning heat from the chile and the richness of the avocado and wheel there as if on an updraft, a face-awakening whoosh of hot, sweet, tart and sour. And then a whisper from the cape gooseberries, fresh and astringent like tomatillos (they're from the same genus), but fruity too.
I wouldn't know to want Mr. Alejandri's tostada de tinga, either. It's a shirt-stainer of a dish: black beans, pulled chicken, chorizo sausage, avocado, pickled onions, thick chipotle pepper sauce and a blob of crema, all mounded high on a fried tortilla round. These are huge flavours, with no-holds-barred heat and depth, acidity and texture – ravishing.
And I wouldn't know to want Mr. Alejandri's pollo en pipian rojo. Pipian sauces are made from ground pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and other nuts. I've never seen a pipian sauce here.
The chef uses his pipian rojo – it's coloured red, rojo, from ancho chiles – to coat pieces of poached fryer chicken. The dish didn't have a lot of flavour, apart from the flavours of poached chicken, ground sesame seeds and smoky red chiles. The cost of learning that was just $11. I'm glad I did.
The chef's stewed pinto beans are flavoured with beautifully fatty strips of pork rind, as well as serrano peppers and garlic. His bean and tortilla soup is excellent.
A few of his dishes were less successful. Mr. Alejandri seasons his ceviche with coriander, mint and tart wedges of tomatillo. It had good flavour, but the fish was tougher than it should have been.
And though I love that Mr. Alejandri uses Fanta soda to season his coctel de camarones, the shrimp are commodity tiger prawns; the chef then piles on half a dozen big-flavoured fixings. You'd struggle to remember you ate it 10 minutes later.
Yet nothing from the kitchen clangs like Agave y Aguacate's two dining rooms can. Depending where you're seated, the design of the place can be a little slice of hell.
The first time I visited, having reserved a week earlier, my dinner mate and I were seated at a long bench along a wall in the downstairs bar. There was a small table over the bench between us, but you couldn't face it or put your legs underneath it, because, well, the bench.
"Do you guys have a table?" I asked our server.
"This is all we have at the moment," she answered. "It's kind of a loungey, tapas-y style," she said.
"I'm not feeling it," I responded. "I'm just feeling that my back is all twisted."
Her answer: "The method that I find is most comfortable is to get your bum right up against the wall and do the side tilt."
Try doing the 90 degree side tilt for two hours and a dozen dishes (Mr. Alejandri's food can still take forever). My friend and I were hobbling by the time we left.
Upstairs is not much better. It depends where you're seated. If you're seated next to the garbage can and the waiter station at the narrow entrance to the room where everybody going in and out bumps directly past you, just try and have a nice evening.
And that upstairs space is a case study of the perils in ignoring basic acoustic realities. Every surface is hard and reflective. Now add a pair of loud but tinny speakers piping in Rick Astley, and a crowd of excited diners. I've heard others praise the room for not being noisy. I had the opposite experience. I never felt better here than once I'd left.
The desserts provide some consolation, particularly that lime charlotte, which you should not miss, and the spell-casting Mexican spiced hot chocolate that's thickened with ground almonds, barley and hazelnuts.
In the next few months, Mr. Alejandri intends to build out his menu with more of the sort of dishes that Toronto doesn't yet know it wants. He plans to make the pato en mole verde – duck in green mole sauce – that he's been dying to get to, he said, as well as the braised and pickled pig's trotters that he used to eat in his town's square as a child, that come with pickled peppers and vegetables and warm tostadas and piles and piles of napkins.
I would line up for dishes like that. I suspect a lot of people would.
Given a few fixes to the room, I bet they'd even line up more than once.Report Typo/Error

I work in a Small customer facing company where we take orders over the phone and then print out picking list, etc. Every user in customer services and accounts has a local laser printer on their desk, ranging from little HP1020's upto HP3600's. This is only about 10 users in total but it just seems extreme and very inefficient to me
Am I right in thinking that this is overkill ?
How do you go about convincing the company that it would be much better to have one or two network printers than all these ?
How do I convince end users who say but I print out loads and need it ?
I don't think I'll ever get my way, but I'm just interested to hear other admin's opinions

We used to have inkjet printers at everyone's desk here. I finally convinced the company to get rid of them because they kept breaking and were costing 100-150 dollars to replace. That doesn't even include the price of all the ink cartridges they were going through each month. A few years ago we decided to no longer replace the printers when they broke so they are slowly fading off. The users still complain that they have to walk 10 feet to a shared printer but that's just because they are lazy. If they don't like walking, they will probably end up printing less too. As far as convincing the company to switch to the shared printers, I would try to show them the difference in cost of managing the individual printers versus a larger shared one.

I would look at the cost per page of each printer and get an estimate of how much printing is done each month either by pulling page counts, running something like papercut www.papercut.com or just seeing how many reams of paper each person uses. Once you know these pieces you can see how much printing is really costing you, pick a workhorse printer which usually has lower cost per page and figure out total printing cost if you printed everything from your other printers to it. This will give you a per month savings on printing which is a very objective number and doesn't even factor in reduced maintenance. If you are able to save $100/mo on a $1200 printer you will start seeing continuous savings after a year.

I'm going to be contrary on this, but make sure that consolidating printers helps the work flow not hinders it.
If they, for example, print the docs out whilst still on the phone and review it then you may want to leave it alone.
Depending on the volume of calls / orders / prints, amount of time they have to go get each print job, how far they have to walk, etc.
Don't get me wrong I like getting rid of the personal printers, working through that where I can here by training execs and HR on the secure print function, but you need to make sure it's right for you.

You can get an estimate on per page printing costs pretty easily. Whip up a quick spreadsheet that shows the cost per page for each printer versus a reasonable central printer. Also calculate the cost of all those printers being replaced versus the cost of maybe one or two central printers. Recommend moving when it makes financial sense like when a few of the desktop printers are ready to be replaced and you would not be spending much "extra" money.
You can buy one central printer and keep the desktops as well and have people start switching. Every page that goes to the central printer is money saved. Phase them out as they die or as people don't need them.
Some people, like the owners, typically need to retain private printers because they print sensitive materials on a regular basis. So be prepared for that.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of the replacement cartridges you have to keep on hand and the space it takes to store them. Not to mention the time you are having to take to monitor and order all of those.

Yes, the support time is important for printers. Managing one or two large printers is a lot less support time than getting drivers and maintaining a dozen little printers.

The cartridges we have in store is the thing that I first saw. They take up a full storage rack !!! Luckily, I'm not responsible for maintaining the cartridge supply
As Limey said I don't want to hinder the efficiency the users. If I do convice the company to phase out our current printers when they eventually come to end of life, then I don't think there should be many problems reducing the printers down from our current 9 in one work area to 4, which are either within arms length or at most a couple of steps from their desk
Are there any Open source options for monitoring print usage for local printers, most of those here are attached locally, again another nightmare for managing them. But as, I asssume, with most companies IT is there to make things easier for everybody else and not for ourselves.
Thanks for all the advice so far :)

We used to have around 35 printers between 100 users. All aging HP's 2015 or 3050's.
I replaced these with 3 multi function copiers/scanners/printers (Konica Minolta C353's)
The basic arguments are
1. Individual lasers are expensive to run - toners and fusers (everyone forgets about the cost of fusers)
2. With a leased copier on a maintenance contract there's no extra's over the click cost, all maintenance, toners etc are included
3. The company is trying to be greener less printers means less electricity and less paper usage (cos people only print when they need to now)
4. The MFD's offer much more capabilities - colour printing, A3 printing, scan to mail/SMB, faxing from desktop, staple/punching output
5. With leased copiers you don't have to worry about WEEE regulations for disposal once they're old.
I thought the users would scream blue murder when I took them away, but there was no problem really. I had to keep one small laser for printing on a variety of pre-printed forms but other than that it worked out really well.
Sep 16, 2009 at 7:04 UTC
We too are in the position of most users having their "own" local inkjet/laserjet printer on their desk.
Just recently we added a large Ricoh copier (MFM) in the copier room and I've added it as the default printer for the office staff. Having the additional advantage of being able to scan to email as a PDF and a very low cost per page it is slowly becoming the "main" printer. Cost to print per page is about 1/10th compared to inkjets.
We still maintain a large inventory of replacement inks (remans) still, but I'm slowly weaning users off them by "not having them in stock" and suggesting they use the main printer...
Sep 16, 2009 at 12:58 UTC
I generally agree with most here that cartridge based units are generally more expensive over the long run. However, that does largely depend on what's being done.
However, going with big printing iron does have some issues with driver support. We went with a Canon iR3300 with network printing and discovered that it doesn't rip (r.aster i.mage p.rocessing) Postscript at full rated speed when printing to it raw via TCP port 7100. (It actually emulates Postscript and requires a Windows driver to handle the rip for native full speed rastering.) This was a problem for us in that we had to switch our billing output back to the HP 4300N's since they can rip Postscript natively at full speed without the need for a Windows driver. Now, with that said I could have invested in an optional external rip ($$) and had the output speed I wanted/expected. In this case the convenience of the 4300N's won out and I had lost my argument at the time.
For me the lesson was in properly engineering the solution. In this case I was placing that demand on the copier salesman and his ability to network with his IT folks to get the right answer. In your case make sure that this research is done properly ahead of time to avoid egg in the face later.
Now I'm considering it again and we're thinking this time around we'd go for either a newer Canon iR3235i or Konica/Minolta's bizhub C353. (I know not exactly apples for apples, ones a color unit.) Between these two does anyone have any regrets for going with either one?

A Prospective Investigation of the Use of Fluorescence Imaging on the da Vinci Surgical System for Ultrastaging of Endometrial Cancer by Sentinel Node Assessment
In many cancer types, such as breast cancer and melanoma, sentinel node assessment has
become the standard of care surgical treatment. Sentinel nodes are the first lymph nodes to
which cancer cells are likely to spread from a primary tumor. Removal of a sentinel node
for examination accurately predicts whether the cancer has spread to other nodes further
along in the nodal chain. Fluorescence imaging with ICG dye (Indocyanine Green) has been
used to detect lymph nodes in patients with gastric, colorectal and breast cancer. To date,
the use of this technique in endometrial cancer has not been reported.
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Diagnostic
Evaluating detection rate and accuracy of fluorescence-guided sentinel lymph node detection in endometrial cancer.

Galvened Kinetic Energy weapon
A galvened kinetic energy weapon(KEW)is a kinetic energy weapon(commonly known as 'slugthrowers') with galven circuitry integrated with the barrel. It is no more or less powerful than a laser cannon of equivalent size, merely requiring bullets instead of tibanna gas. Such weapons were used primarily to arm the Viper line of starfighters.

I read about this open source wireless router software, DD-WRT, and decided to give it a try. I bought a $12 router on eBay, flashed it and started messing around. There's something quirky about the way I have out home network that's stopping me from using it to repeat signal to the back yard. Last night at a gig though I had a few minutes and finally it it going.
I stuck it in a window and got it connected to the neighbor's open network and suddenly, voilà! I had my own secure network right there in the bar. I got my laptop and iPod connected and was running iTunes remotely during set breaks. I even got the wireless mouse app to work so I could run the recording software and browse the web without reaching in front of the lighting guy
Anyway, it felt hella good to be tinkering again.

Smartleaf Furthers Commitment to Wealth Management Innovation Through Model Distribution Service and Model Vendor PortalNew Feature Allows Model Managers to Access, Update Models Online (March 15, 2012)
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- (Marketwire) -- 03/15/12 -- Smartleaf, a leading provider of overlay portfolio management solutions to the wealth management industry, today announced the addition of an online portal for model vendors. This portal is part of Smartleaf's Model Distribution Service (MDS) and will streamline model updating by giving model vendors the ability to log in to a secure site to enter and maintain their models. Model updates will be checked for integrity and, when approved, will be automatically transmitted to subscribing firms who use the models to guide the customized management of individual wealth accounts.
Smartleaf's MDS has created a marketplace for the sale and purchase of model portfolios. The service simplifies operations for both model vendors and purchasers while reducing the risk of human error.
In addition to the new model vendor portal, Smartleaf's MDS also includes:
- Contracting: To participate in the MDS, model vendors sign a contract with Smartleaf, not directly with clients, lowering the number of contracts the model vendor has to manage. This also allows model vendors to specify the price of their models, the terms and conditions of use, and which Smartleaf clients are allowed to purchase their models.
- Billing and invoicing: Smartleaf handles invoicing clients on behalf of model vendors participating in the MDS.
"This technology is an example of our commitment to innovation in the wealth management industry. By bringing automation to the process of updating and transmitting models, we're helping to create a market for buyers and sellers of models," said Jerry Michael, president of Smartleaf. "This is a necessary step in facilitating the rapid growth of models-based overlay portfolio management."
Smartleaf's Model Distribution Service's new management capabilities are available now to MDS model vendors. Please visit http://www.smartleaf.com/news/online-sales-media-kit for more information.

So .. I have set it that, for each 100 posts, my members get a trophy, that gives them a new 'level'. I was taught by the support here to use the titles and trophies to get member ranks, since we don't have the feature itself in the script.
So, new members are called 'just joined', when they have posted 100 messages, they get 100 points and are called Level 1. When their post count reaches 200 messages they get 100 more points and are called 'Level 2' and so on. So basically each 100 posts get them 100 points and a new trophy/rank on a superior level.
Now the problem.
I run 3 kinds of 'programs' on my forums, to reward my best members: Member of the Month, Site of the Month and 3 Post of the Month. When my members get these accolades, I place them a custom title according to their received 'rank'.
The problem is that the trophy system STOPS counting their levels, thus I have now my ex-member of the month who's posted 800 posts (yes, he's been the best member in our community and contributed a lot of content) but who's level 4 since the trophy system doesn't update his rank.
What do I do now? Do I have to enter phpmyadmin EACH TIME I change my members ranks? Would this mean that, if I set him as a level 8 from phpmyadmin (I assume I will know how to do it) the trophy system will pick off and change the ranks automatically? Or do I need to discontinue my programs just because xenforo lacks a basic ranking/title system?
Any ideas are much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

FULTON — Volunteers gathered this past weekend to move The Cedars, of the oldest surviving dwellings in Fulton.
The Northeast Mississippi Daily Journal reports much time and effort are being put into moving the abandoned house a very short distance — about 200 yards.
Its current location on Main Street in Fulton is property owned by Fulton United Methodist Church, which needs the space for a new parsonage.
The new spot is owned by the City of Fulton, which took ownership of the house last year.
The house was recently designated as a Mississippi Landmark by the state Department of Archives and History.
Paula Cooper, one of the volunteers helping with the project, said the plan is to eventually restore the house and make it a visitors center.

text: Last week, Bloomberg announced that his team had balanced the city's budget for Fiscal Year 2015, which begins in July, closing a projected $2 billion deficit. The city's budget must be balanced by law but doing so early sends a signal to the unions that the city's financial health is improving and could support larger raises.Negotiations over the new contracts are expected to begin in January. De Blasio has been steadfastly noncommittal about retroactive raises, and his team declined to comment further. "He's in both a political and fiscal bind," said Baruch College political science professor Douglas Muzzio. "It's damned if you do, damned if you don't. If you don't give the big raises, you're immediately alienating your base, who you need to work hard for you and help with your re-election." "If you do, you're going to be attacked for being beholden to the unions, and you're blowing a hole in the budget," Muzzio said. A compromise may be the most likely outcome, according to analysts. Instead of retroactive raises, de Blasio could offer one-time bonuses for employees that would not be factored into their future pensions, which are another financial drain. He could also ask city workers to start contributing to their health care premiums. Currently, New York is one of only a handful of governments in the nation where workers don't pay any health care. The city's health insurance costs are growing at 7 percent a year. The state's leading Democrat may have hinted this week that de Blasio will not roll over in negotiations. "Going into the conversation, everyone needs a reality adjustment," Gov. Andrew Cuomo said in an unrelated Manhattan news conference. "The unions have understood that in the past, and they've acted accordingly, and my guess is that they will again." But the fiscal challenges de Blasio faces won't end with the union contracts.
