There is some good discussion of it going on here:
Dec 19, 2009 at 12:02 UTC
hey nic! i already saw that thread it was started back in august. i was hoping to spark newcommers to feed this thread with fresh inputs on this topic.
the colorqube hasn't been out that long and as time goes by people will have more and more to say about it.
I hope that i do get some new perspective about this print unit so we may make a decision on our end.
Thank you!

Ok - glad you found the other discussion already! Anyone want to chime in with any new ColorQube experiences since August?
Dec 23, 2009 at 4:34 UTC
Is there some specific feature or bit of information you're hoping to find out about?
Dec 28, 2009 at 10:59 UTC
yes i am looking to see if there really is a benificial factor in going with this new technology. does it save money? is it really worth it?
Jan 8, 2010 at 12:37 UTC
It depends on the kind of contract you have (metered etc) and your volume of use and the type of images you need to print.
If you need a lot of full-color spreads, you probably aren't saving much, if any. I don't have the actual cost per sheet, but this is how they break it down:
1. Black and color level 1 (mostly black, single color)
2. Color level 2
3. Color level 3 (full color)
If you do a lot of forms or other things that are mostly black and white but a little color, or only need color occasionally and don't want to invest in two separate machines, then yes it will be cheaper than a different full-color machine because it lumps those low-color ones in with b&w.

I would be very leery of Xerox due to their pricing structure.
Xerox charges 3 times as much for the 8860 as the 8560 - but the ink is cheaper.
Makes sense, right?
High volume customers pay more up front to fully cover the hardware costs, whereas more casual customer pay the freight via higher consummable costs over time.
Except....Xerox artificially jacks the black ink cost on the 8860 way way up - so that black impressions are actually more expensive than on the 8560.
Makes no sense at all - unless they just figure that biz users are stupid enough to swoon over the color page cost and completely overlook the black cost.
I find it a little annoying when vendor assume that I am a mouth breather that takes off his socks to count.
Feb 10, 2010 at 12:01 UTC
I guess the question is then, what's considered "cheap" for black ink per page? That can vary widely depending on your area I suppose, but ball park?
Feb 10, 2010 at 3:06 UTC
Factoring in all of the jobs we send to that printer, it works out about 5 cents per impression.
That's including ink blocks, maintenance kits etc, but not including paper.
There is about a penny per page premium for us for color using the 8560.

The United Commonwealth is a modern adaptation of the of several major parts of the Anglo populated parts of British Empire as well as the very few non Anglo colonies which were transferred into overseas territories. The initial creation of the United Commonwealth was spread throughout early ideas of an Imperial Federation comprising Britain and most of her colonies. This was done as an attempt to maintain British supremacy into the modern era in the face of new rising powers. The United States, the Russian Empire, and the German Empire were all considered new enemies for the dominance of Britain well into the next era. Due to this the British parliament recognized its need to at least re-organize its colonial holdings into something that would better weather the storm. Following the souring of relations between the United States and the United Kingdom, a new adversary was around which forced Canada not only the first British Dominion, but the most threatened British territory, to consider fully joining the United Kingdom as a constituent and equal kingdom. With some resistance from both sides it was eventually accepted following the developing arms race between not only the German Empire, but the rapidly militarizing United States.
The process towards bringing the United Commonwealth about comes mostly due to the First and Second World Wars in which not only was unity between the UK and Canada improved, but a truly united force consisting of most territories and dominions of the British Empire was assembled to combat the various enemies of Both wars. While technically on the losing to side of the First World War, the United Commonwealth was able to militarily and diplomatically outmaneuver the Axis forces in World War II leading to the formal creation of the United Commonwealth following the relative devastation the British isles suffered and the dispersion of much industrial strength and political power to multiple Dominions and Canada proper but also brought about the loss of most of Britains Asian and a good amount of its African colonies as well.
British Empire
The United Commonwealth as it is known, was formed unofficially in 1904 following various colonial conferences and the new rising threat of the United States, which had not even two years previous proven its ability to challenge the British at sea off the coast of Venezuela, but had also won. The shock to the psyche of the British was immense and forced a total rethinking of the structure of the Empire. With the initial plans for many of Britains more civilized or well settled colonies to eventually be given home-rule, the plan had been scrapped folowing the Christmas Ambush. The British following the loss of the majority of their battlegroup during their intervention in Venezuela due to their failure to pay their debt, were forced to recognize the changing dynamic of the world. The German Empire had begun to become the dominant land power in Europe and had also begun to expand its Navy in a close competition with the British. The United States while its land forces were small and not entirely powerful, had an industrial base larger than the British and a naval force that was top of the line and had proven its mettle against the British, simultaneously removing multiple other threats to itself as a naval power at the expense of British prestige. This loss of Prestige as well as the new threats presented not only gained traction for many elements in the British aristocracy that preferred such a federal movement but also presented the perfect argument for Canadians who were for the movement to gain enough political support to bring the movement into mainstream politics. With a newly threatening America on its doorstep, how could Canada hope to remain independent of its unruly and aggressive neighbor. Hence following the 1904 conference Canada was admited fully into the United Kingdom and South Africa was designated a Dominion following a deal with the Boer residents to allow further white immigration of any kind to the colony predicated on future entrance into UK as a fully fledged state. During World War I the success of the Anglo Union showed that not only was the concept working, but flourishing as the Canadians and British fought under the same commonad with little to no interference or issues held over the distances which were involved (which was the expected outcome.) The Canadians in some cases became on a whole the better fighters of the Union and were colloquially known as Shock troops, forming the core of multiple Shock Armies during WW1 and WW2.
By 1947 following the end of World War II the United Commonwealth officially came into being with the Constitution of Westminster the document outlining how this new multiple continent Federal state would operate. While many of the worlds nations questioned the ability of the Commonwealth to expand in such a way to include multiple Dominions as constituent states and its colonial territories as well as overseas territories, the truth remained that the Second World War had absolutely devasted the British Isles and had forced the nation to either build or relocate significant amounts of industry throughout the Empire. Canada had become the main Arsenal of British industry during the war with thousands of workers being shipped in on top of the existing work force to expand the industrial capability of Canada with as many of 500,000 people moving to Canada to work on the war effort. South Africa and Australia also saw a significant increase in their own domestic industrial capability due to the overall shift during the war. India also in an ironic sense became a massive industrial producer (a fact which led to their exit from the British Empire in 1949) and provided hundreds of thousands of troops to the British and its war effort in Europe. By the end of the war, the Canadians, corraling many of the British dominions representatives, convened the congress of Westminster which while a relief for the debt ridden Britain forced its hand in the creation of the United Commonwealth, with Britain now only being part of the vast United Commonwealth state which stretched across the planet rather than its Leader.
Immediate Post World War II politics
Post Second World War, the United Commonwealth was not only relativelt recent in its founding, barring the previous British-Canadian Acts of Union, the central government which was at that time provisional in London was having a hard time deciding on its post war politics. Europe had not only been shattered by the Axis onslaught but now the British forces in europe were embroiled in a potentially long term, and costly occupation of nearly a third of europe (Italy and most of Germany) and while the burden was shared with the victorious allies, the majority of that burden was put upon the French and British forces. While Britain had suffered extensive bombing campaigns against the home isles, the newly unified commonwealth as well as the large swath of Britains colonies began to either have resources brought out or donated in the case of the newly entered United Commonwealth states. Australia, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, and a some of britains more profitable colonies were all more or less given a large amount of funding for not only the rebuilding of Britain, but the rebuilding of Europe as well. However this came at the expense of much of Britains leading power in the United Commonwealth and equalized the power structure of the Commonwealth exponentially. by 1949 with the death of Stalin and the atrophy of major Soviet support for abroad communism in Europe, the UC had managed to not only gain the good will of much of a destroyed Western Europe, but had also undergone an extensive political agenda of maintaining the continental and colonial integrity of Europe. The European' Coalition' was formed shortly thereafter in 1950 with 3 prime objectives
- To halt the Spread of Communism in Europe and Abroad
- To maintain the territorial and colonial integrity of Europes Colonial Empires
- To closely integrate the Free European community for better economic prosperity.
Administrative Divisions
The United Commonwealth covers a massive amount of differing environments across the planet.

Temple Grandin, professor of animal science at Colorado State, was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 2. Instead of letting this diagnosis limit her, she called upon her individual strengths and talents to find success in her life, and she is encouraging others to do the same.
Grandin recently spoke at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, where she discussed her activism in connecting Autistic individuals with higher education or careers. Grandin stresses that everyone, including employers, should focus on the unique characteristics and strengths of each person with ASD, and not their perceived limitations. According to Grandin, "There is too much emphasis placed on the deficit, and not enough on the strength", she continues, "I'm seeing a lot of [children] getting completely hung up on their Autism, caught up in a handicapped mentality".
Autistic children often have the ability to process material visually, as well as the ability to have an incredible focus on subjects of their interest. "Kids on the spectrum tend to get fixated on the things they like," Grandin states, "so you need to use those fixations to teach kids different subjects." For example, if a child has a fixation on airplanes, the teacher should incorporate planes in the teaching matter for physics, engineering, math, or even history.
Lastly, Grandin stated that there should be a stronger focus on the transition from childhood to one's teenage years. In order to prepare them for adulthood, children should be given responsibilities and tasks. A strong foundation needs to be made in order for the child to potentially handle the responsibilities of employment at an older age.
As today marks the start of National Autism Awareness Month, it is important to realize that Autistic individuals need guidance and support in order to accomplish their goals and find confidence in themselves. Mentors are an essential part of the learning process for Autistic children. They can challenge children to learn things out of their comfort zone, while providing the patience and support that the child needs.
As Autism Awareness month continues, ICare4Autism will be sharing inspiring stories, recent news, and significant research findings about Autism. Additionally, we will be highlighting several self-advocates, who despite their diagnosis, have showcased their strengths and incredible gifts. We will also be distinguishing the eye-opening truth from the misconceptions about Autism that are often talked about or misrepresented in pop culture. We are looking forward to using this month as an incredible opportunity to spread awareness about Autism!
The ICare4Autism International Conference will be discussing the Global Autism Workforce Initiative on June 30th in NYC. An esteemed roster of speakers will be discussing the importance of implementing programs that incorporate Autistic individuals in the workplace. For tickets, please click here.

Contributed by Andy Russell, head of design at Dorset-based Salad Creative.
With an existing business specialising in anti-graffiti and urban maintenance services, this client came to us for ideas to help launch a new 'wall wrapping' product that can be applied to almost any surface. From the outset, we wanted to create a name and brand language that was indicative of the product itself together with the environment it was designed to be used in.
After careful consideration and exstensive research (and wrap-based names), it was decided that Wallspace® ticked all the boxes. The name was flexible enough that we could couple the suffix 'space' with a variety of key adjectives to describe both the product and the service offering.
The isometric grid based logo and pattern allowed us to demonstrate the potentially colourful and versatile nature of the material and gave us the perfect medium through which to communicate brand messages and personality.

It's been a long time since the last time my Christmas stocking
was hung up for Santa.
When I was small we didn't have a fireplace so I'm not sure
where we hung them. Perhaps stuck to a doorframe with
thumbtacks? Although one year we had a cardboard red brick
light-up fireplace that I hadn't thought about in years until just
now. And on Capen St. in Dorchester I think we hung them on
the "windowsill" of the wall mural my Dad made. Mom picked
out some large picture of Cypress Gardens and it was hung on
the wall, framed by a wooden fake picture window frame so it
looked as if you were looking out at all those flowers!
The house in Abington had a real fireplace (and a real picture
window) so the stockings were hung by the chimney, etc. and a
new one was added for my kid brother. A year or so after that
we hung one for the pets as well. But over the years as we
moved one place or another there would be Christmases where
no stockings were hung at all when we couldn't figure out which
box they'd been packed away in.
As for what was inside, as I mentioned once before, there was
one year I got a lump of coal, but for the most part it would be
candy canes and an orange or apple. One year there was the new
wristwatch my folks bought me.
I'm not sure where those stockings are these days. My best guess
is that they are downstairs in my storage bin packed away with
the few Christmas tree ornaments that have survived!

Construction almost done on Cornhuskers' new arena
Credit: The Associated Press
LINCOLN, Neb. — The scoreboard has been hung and most of the red cloth seats have been anchored at the new arena that will be the home for Nebraska basketball.
With construction 85 percent to 90 percent complete, the project manager said Friday that Pinnacle Bank Arena is on schedule to be ready for the university's August graduation ceremony.
The $179 million arena, with a seating capacity of about 15,500, sits on the northwest side of downtown Lincoln looking like a big silver space saucer just a few blocks west of Memorial Stadium.

The Wrap
Around this time last year we told you that Jennifer's Body director Karyn Kusama was working on an indie flick titled Invitation, with Luke Wilson attached to star. It seems as if those plans have changed, and we've got the latest casting news for ya today!
The Wrap reports that Prometheus star Logan Marshall-Green (pictured) and "Boston Public" actress Marieh Delfino have accepted the female director's Invitation, which will also co-star Tammy Blanchard, John Carroll Lynch and Michelle Krusiec.
Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi wrote the script, which stars Marshall-Green as a man faced with mounting evidence that something sinister has taken hold of his ex-wife, who is hosting a dinner party that harbors a terrifying agenda.
Delfino will play a UCLA professor in the movie, which Hay and Manfredi are expected to produce with Martha Griffin and XYZ Films.
Production is scheduled to start this month.

Coming off a big game last night against the Spurs seemed to pose a big problem as the Thunder took on the rugged Pacers. Instead, nope.
Coming off a big game last night against the Spurs seemed to pose a big problem as the Thunder took on the rugged Pacers. Instead, nope.
To the Thunder, Thursday win over the Spurs didn't do anything but add another game to the win column. To everyone else, it did a whole lot more.
A night after maybe the most frustrating loss of the season, the Thunder were in another bad fourth quarter spot Saturday in Milwaukee. But after a timeout, they turned it around.
A truly terrible loss for the Thunder in Minnesota, but only terrible in the sense that it was a frustrating, painful experience to watch it.
With the Wizards woefully shorthanded and playing the second night of a back-to-back, the Thunder's focus was obviously on winning first, but along with it, to get better.
Like Serge Ibaka, the Thunder turned things around at halftime to eventually blow out the Blazers.
If this game was supposedly a must-win, well, the Thunder accomplished their objective. They won. But if the intention behind that proclamation was to put an emphasis on this game against Orlando to inspire a better, more focused performance, well, ehhhhhh.
The Thunder are well past moral victories. But can good things happen that are encouraging and the scoreboard still go the other way?

Suing a Hospital for Medical Malpractice
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
Can a Hospital Be Sued for Medical Malpractice?
Patients may sue a hospital for medical malpractice if an employee of the hospital injures them. Generally, only nurses, paramedics and medical technicians are considered employees. Doctors may be considered independent contractors, who hold their own personal malpractice insurance.
Negligent Hospital Employees
Hospitals are liable for their employees' negligence. In other words, if an employee acts carelessly when treating or dealing with a patient, then the hospital will be financially responsible for the employee's actions. Please note that not all acts of carelessness are considered negligent. Negligence may be a difficult term to define, but should include any action that is shocking to the general public.
As doctors are not normally considered hospital employees, patients may not be liable to a hospital for their doctor's negligence. The patient will be able to sue the doctor though. However, this is done on a case-by-case assessment. Furthermore, if a hospital employee was negligent due to a doctor's supervision, the patient may sue both the hospital and doctor.
Exception Where Doctors Are Employees
There are special cases where doctors are considered to be hospital employees. This really depends on the nature of the relationship the doctors have with the hospitals. The doctor is more likely to be deemed a hospital employee when the hospital controls the doctor's hours and vacation, and where the hospital sets the doctor's fees.
Exception Where Hospitals Are Liable for Non-Employee Doctors
If the hospital does not inform their patients that the doctor is an independent contractor or if the hospital keeps an incompetent doctor on staff, then the hospital will be liable. The former is often the case for emergency room doctors. Many patients will be obtaining care in an emergency situation, and sometimes, are unconscious and a decision is made without their informed consent.
Consulting an Attorney
If you are seeking to make a medical malpractice claim, an experienced medical malpractice attorney can assist you. He will help you investigate whom you can sue and how viable your claims are.

As expected, Apple Computer Inc. reported a big loss yesterday for its second fiscal quarter. Sales fell from the previous quarter and from the corresponding one a year earlier, but Apple executives said demand had picked up and that the company now had a significant backlog of orders.
Still, the loss, which was reported after the close of the stock market, was bigger than analysts had expected. The company's shares closed yesterday at $18.5625, up 12.5 cents, on the Nasdaq.
Separately, the Compaq Computer Corporation, the world's largest personal computer manufacturer, reported first-quarter earnings that exceeded estimates. But some analysts expressed concerns about revenue growth as Compaq revises its production processes.
For its most recent quarter, which ended on March 28, Apple reported a net loss of $708 million, compared with a deficit of $740 million a year earlier. Sales fell 27 percent, to $1.60 billion, from $2.19 billion in the second quarter of the 1996 fiscal year.
The loss for the current quarter included charges of $375 million for the write-off of research and development activity related to the acquisition of Next Software Inc. in February, and $155 million to increase reserves to cover the costs of restructuring. Excluding the charges, Apple's loss from operations was $186 million, or $1.48 a share.Continue reading the main story
The consensus estimate among Wall Street analysts was for Apple to lose $1.22 a share on an operating basis, according to First Call, but the loss fell within the range of 65 cents to $1.60 among 24 analysts polled.
Apple's continued struggles come as the company is reportedly seeking a friendly buyer; people close to the company say it has retained Goldman, Sachs & Company as an adviser. Lawrence J. Ellison, the chairman of the Oracle Corporation, has said he is considering a bid, along with unidentified partners, of more than $1 billion to acquire Apple. And earlier this month, Prince Walid bin Talal of Saudi Arabia announced that he had paid $115 million to acquire slightly more than 5 percent of Apple's stock.
But Fred Anderson, Apple's chief financial officer, said that the second quarter was historically Apple's weakest. In this case, he said, it was worsened by the fact that dealers sold about $200 million in left-over inventory during the period that Apple had booked in previous quarters. And the company was unable to meet demand for its new Power Mac machines, resulting in a backlog of $420 million, he said.
''We expect to see rapid improvements in the company's financial performance as the results of restructuring kick in,'' he said.
Indeed, one analyst said that the new Power Macs represented a bright prospect for Apple.
''If there's a glimmer of light in the middle of this tunnel it's that they do have some new machines that should generate excitement,'' said Daniel Kunstler, an analyst with J. P. Morgan.
During the second quarter, Apple consolidated its product line, eliminating the Performa name for consumer machines. Apple also introduced new Power Mac models with processor speeds up to 300 megahertz and new Powerbook portables with chips as fast as 240 megahertz, faster than anything offered by companies using the Intel Corporation's microprocessors or equivalents.
But yesterday's reports by Apple and Compaq clearly illustrated the divergence in their recent fortunes.
With a growth rate nearly twice that of the personal computer industry as a whole, Compaq clearly is taking market share from weaker competitors. But analysts said the company is also reaping the rewards of its move to become a computer systems producer, like I.B.M. or Hewlett-Packard, supplying servers and networking technology in addition to PC's. And Compaq's continuing internal re-engineering has also paid off, in higher return on capital, lower inventory, and increased cash.
For the quarter, Compaq reported earnings of $387 million, or $1.36 a share, up 65 percent from $234 million, or 85 cents a share, in the comparable period a year earlier. Sales rose 14 percent, to $4.81 billion, from $4.21 billion in the first quarter of 1996.
Analysts had predicted that Compaq would earn $1.31 a share, according to a survey by First Call. But while the earnings beat the consensus estimate, they fell short of some higher estimates, and Compaq shares dropped $1.25 to close at $73.375.
Compaq is in the midst of putting in place a build-to-order program that should lower its costs and reduce the amount of inventory held by its dealers. Some analysts said this raised the prospect of lower sales in the next quarter, but others said that any reduction would be temporary.Continue reading the main story

From a media release - check out my interview with Thomas here:
Thomas Mapfumo & The Blacks Unlimited - Sim Redmond Band - Black Castle - Thousands of One
The Mercury Lounge - New York, NY
July 15, 2011 - show starts at 7:30pm
Thousands of One - (Set time: 7:30 PM)
Black Castle (feat. Elliot Martin of John Brown's Body) - (Set time: 8:30 PM)
Sim Redmond Band - (Set time: 9:45 PM)
Since their inception seven years ago, the Sim Redmond Band has been quickly on the rise, forging new ground in roots music. Traveling around the globe, playing with the likes of moe., the Neville Brothers, the Wailers, Jimmy Cliff, and Habib Koite, in some of the most beautiful venues in the U.S. and Japan, the world has taken notice. SRB's unique blend of roots-rock, Afro-Caribbean, and reggae music continues to spread like wild fire. They are based in Ithaca, NY but their magnetic pole is Africa, particularly the sounds emanating from West and South Africa.
Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited - (Set time: 10:45 PM)
Thomas Mapfumo and the Blacks Unlimited are a band from Zimbabwe. Influenced by traditional music (traditional instrument called the mbira, or thumb piano) from Zimbabwe and improvised with modern music, the band has come a long way. "Our music speaks for the people. We are influenced by the people who are struggling at home. Their voices have been silenced. Someone has got to talk." -Thomas Mapfumo (you can check out my interview with him here)
Thomas Mapfumo has been a witness to and participant in history in his native Zimbabwe. From the bloody years of the country's liberation war in the '70s, right through the present economic and political crises, Mapfumo has used his revolutionary, spiritually charged music to decry injustice and highlight the historical and cultural issues that underlie the news headlines. Mapfumo is a musical visionary and a fearless social critic and certainly one of the greatest African bandleaders of the past century.
By the summer of 2000, conditions in Zimbabwe had deteriorated badly, in part as a result of President Mugabe's aggressive and violent program of seizing white-owned farms. Mapfumo songs perceived as critical of the government were unofficially banned from state controlled airwaves, effectively, all airwaves. Feeling pressure on many sides, Mapfumo moved his family to the United States that year, and since then, he and the band have been spending much of the year based in Eugene, Oregon.
As the situation in Zimbabwe has declined steadily, virtually all Mapfumo's recent music has now been banned, and government-controlled press outlets have for the first time begun to write negatively about him. Despite growing risks, Mapfumo continued to return to Zimbabwe with the band to play traditional year-end concerts for as long as he felt safe doing so. However, he has not returned to Zimbabwe since 2004.

Strategy Main Component Of The Strategic Management Process, In The Context Of Organizations Adhering To The Knowledge Based Management
TStrategy and strategic management are two concepts that must not be mixed up. The process of strategic management includes, among others, the foundation and drafting of a strategy. Furthermore, strategy also represents an efficient means to adapt and answer to the requests of the external environment. Therefore, the application of an efficient strategic management process allows the organization to adapt to the external environment changes, and furthermore to the knowledge based management and organization.

Full Scale Lego Ferrari Formula 1 Car is Every Kid's Dream
Lego has teamed up with Ferrari to produce a truly awesome toy; the world's first full-scale model of a Ferrari Formula 1 race car.
At the first Grand Prix of the year in Melbourne, Fernando Alonso and Felipe Massa were on hand to unveil the Lego creation. The event was part of a promotion ran by Shell in Australia along with the Italian automaker and the Lego Group.
Shell stations in Australia are offering limited edition models of Ferrari vehicles including the classic 250 GT Berlinetta, the F40, the FXX, and the recent 458 Italia. To celebrate the special promotion, the Lego Group helped build the 1:1 scale model of the Ferrari 150 Italia, the race car Maranello Scuderia competed with in the 2011 Formula 1 World Championship. It took several months to build the entire project, which also includes actual Pirelli race tires, a seat that fits a driver, and a replica of the steering wheel.

Gonna have to wait to see if it wins the Hugo too. Might just have to wait till I get to the end to get to it. Looking forward to it nonetheless.
I have a copy of this I haven't read, but I was struck by what an unlikely choice it seemed as an award-winner. Again without having read it. Now I am really curious about it.
I have read it and I think it is one of the best novels of 2011. Given the subject it is doubtful that it'll win an award like the Hugo though. I don't think it is a novel that appeals to very large groups of readers.
Val: That's precisely why we cover so many different awards. Every award has its own bias, and authors will often reward novels that a populist award, like the Hugo, won't.
Agreed that Among Others is one of the best of the year. I'm also curious how it will do in the Hugo voting. It's a fantasy that doesn't fit into the usual categories, but it has an extra nostalgic appeal to science fiction fans of a certain age, since the protagonist is a teenage SF fan in the '70s, who spends a fair amount of the novel thinking and talking about the books and authors she's reading at the time. It has my vote for now, but I haven't read Embassytown yet…
I found Embassytown flashy but cold. Among Others is almost the opposite of flashy. It's a love letter to SF and books in general, done up in a fantasy wrapper.
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

'They're Coming Back' in New 'Independence Day: Resurgence' TV Spot
by Alex Billington
April 4, 2016
Source: YouTube
"She has arrived." Fox has unveiled a new 30-second TV spot for Independence Day: Resurgence that features a bit more of Brent Spiner as Dr. Brakish Okun, and has a fun moment with Bill Pullman as President Whitmore getting his own time with one of the aliens. The full cast includes Jeff Goldblum back as David Levinson, Jessie Usher as Dylan Hiller, Liam Hemsworth, William Fichtner, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Vivica A. Fox and Sela Ward. While there isn't much more revealed in this spot, I am still kind of excited to see this. I know it doesn't look as good as the original, of course, but it still looks like it might be entertaining. I love sci-fi epics. I want to see what kind of firepower they have this time, and so on.
Here's the newest TV spot for Roland Emmerich's Independence Day: Resurgence, direct from Fox:
Independence Day 2 is being once again directed by Roland Emmerich. As for returning cast members – Jeff Goldblum, Vivica A. Fox, Brent Spiner and recently confirmed Bill Pullman and Judd Hirsch will all be back as their characters from the first film. William Fichtner and Maika Monroe are new additions. The sequel is supposed to take place 20 years after the events of the first film, which will be real time, almost to the day, from when the original was released. Emmerich is directing again with a script that he co-wrote with Dean Devlin and James Vanderbilt. 20th Century Fox currently has Independence Day: Resurgence scheduled to land in theaters June 24th, 2016 this summer. Watch the first full trailer here. Excited yet?

Marriage, the way I see it, means you make a commitment to go through life together. With someone you truly love through thick and thin, and have a deep bond with. Someone you grow with and makes you want to be a better person, for yourself and your partner.
There's something that doesn't add up in my mind, something I can't seem to grasp. How come people even get close to (wanting) a divorce, or cheating?
There's so many wonderful things I could imagine my future partner to be. I always tell myself I wouldn't just marry anyone, if I truly want to go down on one knee there must be a really good reason as to why. And that's why I can't even comprehend betraying that.
10, 20, 30 years in, what's it like? I know it doesn't feel like puppy love, but is there still a strong feeling of "I love this person"? Any insights would be appreciated :)
Most Helpful Girl
I honestly don't know because this society is so obsessed with getting screwed that the sanctity of marriage is deteriorating.Now you have a bunch of girls who feed into the idea that people should just seek to get f*cked and I think it's really destroying the concept of marriage and true relationships. The people of this era are overall just sl*tty, looking out for their own genital, and too f*cked up.32|10|0

Cheers to the Semester
I have successfully finished my semester in Maynooth, Ireland. This semester has been the most amazing experience and I am so grateful for being able to have this opportunity. These 4-5 months have flown by, but not in the sense that I did not try to take in and appreciate each moment and experience because I believe I have. I have done so much in a short amount of time, and there's still so much I want to do and see here in Ireland and in Europe.
I would be lying if I said I didn't want to leave, or that I don't feel like I have found my home, because I have. My friends here are like family and Maynooth itself is a close-knit community. I have considered transferring here to NUIM but after much thought decided it will be better in the long run to return to Saint Mary's and hopefully return to Ireland next summer for an internship!
I have learned so much in my classes and even more outside of them. Most things are learned when being thrust into an environment to experience it at its deepest source. I still have a lot to learn about the world and life but I am closer than I was. There is so much I can say about Ireland, what I love about the easy-going friendly people and laid back culture. Living here gives you the opportunity to compare and contrast the ways of life to your own. Things about America are sure to get on my nerves such as not being able to buy alcohol, the business of society, not being able to travel internationally as easily, and not being close to all my new friends. But there are things I have missed about America that I have come to appreciate (*Chipotle and Panera). I have come to appreciate my family a lot more, especially being away from them so long.
Throughout my semester I have seen famous and hidden places, met the most random and interesting people and have had many deep philosophical chats in the corners of pubs. I have discussed everything from religion and culture, to government and politics, and life and love with the countless array of people I have come in contact with. I have opened myself up to the possibilities and ideas of this world, while expressing and securing my own beliefs. I have discovered its my dream to live in Europe and have made aspirations do come back for an internship and hopefully grad school!
So cheers to this entire semester, cheers to all the new friends made: American and International, cheers to all the nights out and being of legal age, cheers to sometimes going to class (and dressing up because there are boys in our classes) and procrastinating in the library, cheers to traveling all around the green hills of Ireland and the other beautiful countries of Italy and Spain, cheers to eating enough fish & chips for a lifetime, cheers to spending Saint Paddy's in Dublin and my birthday here, and cheers to becoming more independent and learning more about myself, the world and my place in it.
For now I will take all the changes I have made and what I have learned back with me and share it with people back home. I will most definitely keep saying my Irish slang I have picked up, keep saying "euro", bring my own bags to the grocery store, watch out for double decker buses, want to walk everywhere and be very confused with the direction of traffic. I will consistently say, "Well in Europe..." or "This one time in Ireland..." and this might become annoying to my friends and family at home, but sorry I am not sorry about it!
I will never forget all the friends and memories I have made here abroad and I am looking forward to when I can come back to Europe to finish what I started here. I am excited to see my friends and family in America after almost 5 months away and having the whole summer ahead of me!
Goodbye for now Ireland

International Friendship Day: 10 Fabulous & Frugal Ways to Celebrate For $10 or Less
Our friends are basically like family, except we get to pick and choose them. This usually means they are funnier than your Uncle Max, less judgemental than your stepmom and better listeners than your older sister — and they deserve to be honored on International Friendship Day on Aug. 3.
Our friends are basically like family, except we get to pick and choose them. This usually means they are funnier than your Uncle Max, less judgemental than your stepmom and better listeners than your older sister — and they deserve to be honored on International Friendship Day on Aug. 3.
Lucky for us, Friendship Day falls right in the heart of summer. Spend the first Sunday of August with your closest friends, and enjoy that quality time together outside, at a local pool or watching a summer blockbuster. You can also make some delicious treats or DIY gifts, none of which cost more than $10!
Take a look at our favorite ideas to celebrate your BFFs. Their friendship is priceless, and your celebrations shouldn't break the bank, either.
1. Plan a Game of Ultimate Frisbee
Image via sfgate.com
If it's not too scorching hot, grab a Frisbee from the local dollar store and gather up some pals for a game of Ultimate Frisbee. The rules are simple (you can find how to play at USAUltimate.org), and add some fun and competition to just the standard throwing the Frisbee around.
2. Take a Hike
Image via MTV
Assuming you live near some walking trails, then gather up your BBFs for a morning hike (before it gets too hot). Enjoy nature and get in some exercise. Plus, this makes for some perfect photo opps for Instagram — and it's free. (Even the ladies of MTV's hit show The HIlls loved their hikes!)
3. Make a Splash at the Local Swimming Pool
If you're lucky enough to live near a free pool (or have a friend who has one!), then Aug. 3 is the time to go. Most city pools just charge a few dollars to get in. Spend the day splashing around and soaking up the rays at the local pool, and play these fun Pool Party Games for Adults.
4. Find Free Live Music in the Park
Image via Madison Square Park Conservancy
Here in New York City, there are so many city parks that offer free live music in the summer. Check your local parks website for a schedule, and see if there will be some tunes playing on Aug. 3! Grab a light blanket, some snacks and enjoy live music while it's still summer.
5. Catch a Summer Matinee
August is usually the dog days of summer, which means high temps and high humidity. If the idea of being outside just makes you sweat thinking about it, then hit the movie theaters instead. Most theaters have cheaper tickets during early matinee shows. Check the schedule for August 3, and catch that summer blockbuster you've been dying to see at a discount. (And don't tell the movie theater we told you this, but we're all about sneaking in your own snacks).
6. Send a Free eCard
International Friendship Day was allegedly started by Hallmark in 1919 to get people to send cards to their friends (surprise, surprise). Although it didn't take off as well as, say, Valentine's Day, you can still make your friends' day by sending a free eCard. Check out our Just Because card collection for some fun digital cards!
7. Make a Homemade Wine Spritzer
If you enjoy a bottle of bubbly with your friends, then this summery White Wine Blackberry Spritzer is perfect. Hit up your local Trader Joe's or wine shop for some Three Buck Chuck (it's actually good!), and add in club soda and fresh blackberries. Bring the supplies over to your pals for a surprise happy hour or day drink!
8. Bake Them Homemade Treats
Instead of standard cookies or brownies, whip up a batch of Watermelon Rice Krispie Treats. They are just as easy to make as traditional Rice Krispie Treats, but just have some extra food coloring! These adorable bars make the perfect summer treat.
9. Send a $5 Cookie Card
No time to bake? Send your friend a smile with a $5 Cookie Card from Cheryl's. Browse their collection of cookie cards, and pick out the perfect one for your pal. This is especially a good idea if your friends live out of town.
10. Give a DIY Citrus Scrub
Surprise your pals by giving them something homemade and useful! This refreshing Homemade Citrus Salt Scrub exfoliates away all of your dead summer skin, but can be made with ingredients your probably already have in your kitchen. With just some olive (or coconut) oil, salt, and fresh lemon juice, you have a sweet summer scrub your friends will love. Put it in a small mason jar and make your own labels!
Jennifer Kelly Geddes has hosted Christmas cookie swaps, New Year's open houses, Thanksgiving for 22, and all manner of dinner parties in her Manhattan and Ghent, NY homes.Read More »

I made choco clay with candy melts and corn syrup and now after it has been set it is ozzing oil and it is way too soft....I didn't knead it a lot so I don't know why it is so oily.
That happened to me the first time I made it a long time ago. After I melted the chocolate, I didn't let it cool down enough before I added the corn syrup. Hence, when I added the two together, the oil from the candy started to separate. That candy stays pliable for a while so give it a while before you add the corn syrup in.
Oh I didn't know I had to cool down the candy melts....is there anyway to correct this? I forgot to mention it is white clay. thanks
When it happened to me.. I just kind of let it set for a couple days. Then I really kneaded it and it was okay but not perfect so i just made another batch.

Yeah, this one kind of called for it in a way I like.
Cover page: Tie-in to the Plot?
Luffy: Come at me, bro!
Smoker: What did Law say about Clown again?
Law: Don't touch the crazy guy. Due to a few organ transplants gone awry, hearts will be crushed. Organ transplants can lead to love, apparently. Vergo stole my heart, and now he's my ex, so I need to get it back.
Smoker: Ok, but...
Law: Listen, my turf, my rules. Until we get out of this impossible situation, you are my bitch. Got it, bitch?
Smoker: F#%k this, I'm out. Vergie, come out, come out where ever you are.
Luffy: Now I want a hug!
Clown: No hugs! Instead you can burn! Why are you attacking me anyway?
Luffy: Hmm... That's a good question actually. Oh yeah, I remember now. I'm bored and Traffy said capturing you would cause something fun to happen.
Clown: Would you believe me if I said he'd betray you?
Luffy: No.
Clown: Worth a shot. Anyway, could you hold on a minute? I just remembered there's a chore I still have to do.
Luffy: What's that?
Clown: Vacuum!!
Luffy: No, I need air! Think anaerobic, think anaerobic. Phew. So, your power is like most reality TV stars.
Clown: How so.
Luffy: Limited range. Fishman Karate Jet Pistol!
Clown: Nice try, time to vacuum again! Oh hey, I found some oxygen! Wanna know my favorite Yu-Gi-Oh! card? Flame Swordsman! You like swords? Well I got swords, ON FIRE!
Luffy: Stop, haki time.
Monet: Interference.
Luffy: So, you're a Devil Fruit user, then. Wow, that's so expected. You're also proof that women ruin everything. Look honey, we were kind of in the middle of something here, so if'n you don't mind, let the men get back to the rough stuff and just stand there and look cute.
Monet: CC, take 5. I got this.
Clown: Don't gotta tell my ass twice.
Luffy: Come back! I need a wingman when I talk to women!
Monet: Don't worry, my heart already belongs to Joker, and therein lies the problem.
Luffy: Yeah, why don't you tell me a little more about him? He's the only known bukai sans backstory, so enlighten us. And stop digging your talons into my shoulders!
Don't worry, the fights aren't done yet.
Marines: Everyone get to the microwave! The burritos are done! Why is a pirate fighting against Vergo? Should we do something? Notice I didn't specify a side since we're all still torn.
Sanji: Boot to the chest! You morons going to run any time soon? The gas behind me might give you some motivation. And the guy I just kicked is hard in more ways than one.
Vergo: I really hate it when people interfere in internal affairs. Your shin called, it wants a higher calcium intake.
Sanji: Yeah well your ass called and it wants my foot to move in! Kick fight!
Marines: Hey, not Vergo! The door's closing
Intercom: Yo, this is DJ D-building, I have a communiqué for all you crazies in the third lab. The doctor is in, by which I mean he's in the room where we make the SAD, it's also the same room where James Cameron made Titanic and M Night Shymalan made The Village, cuz they was both SAD as hell.
Clown: Now that might be a problem for reasons I won't go into here in order to build suspense.
Monet: Ooooooh, now I get it.
Vergo: The Straw Hats were to counterattack, Law joined the Shichibukai for the sole purpose of getting to that room. This guy's got some big and messed up plans for the New World! S#%t's gonna be crazy next chapter!
Law: Aaah, it's good to be the king.

On pages where you have a lot of content (ex. glossary page, directory page etc) you may want to implement "back to top" link which will redirect users to the top of the article. This is quite common for WIKI type articles.
In SharePoint 2010 it's pretty easy to let your users create links like that without getting into the page source.
Activating publishing features 1. On a site collection level navigate to Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Manage site collection features
2. Activate SharePoint Server Publishing Infrastructure
3. On a web level navigate to Site Actions -> Site Settings -> Manage site features
4. Activate SharePoint Server Publishing
The following features will enable helpful UI for end users to define the bookmark link on WIKI pages. Now let's define the actual link:
1. Open the page you're working with and switch into the edit mode of the page.
2. Select part of the text on the top of the article (you can even select one letter) and insert a link from address as shown below
3. In the modal dialog leave everything as-is except specify # for an address.
4. While the link is highlighted, click the Format ribbon button.
5. In the "bookmark" field type "top" or another keyword you will be using next
5. Now scroll to the section of your page where you need the "back to top" link and add a new link just as above, except set the address value to #top
Save the page and you're done. Now clicking on the "back to top" will take you to the defined link on the top of the page.

News happens fast, seemingly more so when you work in PR. You not only have to monitor the news but also respond to it with relevant, timely stories. You have to practice your PR in real-time. It's a daunting task, but these five essentials can help turn it from impossible to possible. 1. Data Any real-time initiative is steeped in data.
Ello, the much talked-about social network of late, has left many of us wondering if we should invest time in the site and, if we should, how to get into it. The site is invitation-only, so unless we know someone who knows someone, we're pretty much stuck on the sidelines. That may not be such a bad thing. Let's be early adopters! Early adopters always are lauded – after the fact.
Real time tends to be associated with marketing – in no small part thanks to the quintessential Oreo "moment" – but the tactic perhaps more appropriately belongs to PR practitioners. PR pros often are better able to respond in the "now" than their marketing counterparts. They study trends, topics and keywords and know how to insert themselves into conversations.
Real-time PR, the art and science of injecting your ideas into a trending topic, is a generally tried-and-true method for generating brand awareness and buzz. Some brands are more successful than others; they understand the importance of responding quickly to a trending topic and "injecting" a clever and relevant tweet or blog post into the social conversation.
But it's Oregon-based Nike that appears to have amassed the most marketing buzz at the London 2012 Summer Games
Most brands know that "me, me, me" messages don't resonate with the media or their audiences, but they may struggle to replace them with "you, you, you" ones. As Andrew Davis at Content Marketing World so eloquently put it, they've yet to shift the center of their PR universes to the customer. They're trying, but it isn't an easy thing to do. Still, they must try.
Once upon a time, we were fed the fairytale "Build It and They Will Come." Some of us doubted the tale while others plunged down the rabbit holes of SEO and paid advertising. We all emerged, more or less unscathed, from the story into a world where building something did not mean anyone would come. The party favors would not be shared. The piñata never hit. The cake, uneaten.
The moment I mention the words "big data," "PR" and "measurement," the room quiets. Crickets. I think I probably could hear a pin drop if one were to. Sideways glances and shuffling of feet. A cough. It's like we're all at the base of Mt. Everest wondering how we'll ever get to the summit. We're surrounded by our tools and data, but not one of us wants to take the first st ...
Public relations isn't media relations; at least, it's no longer just media relations. PR now includes social media and content creation. As PR's realm expands in those areas, it will also incorporate measurement. Data and analysis are the name of the game when it comes to the future of PR. PR isn't just about media relations anymore.
We sometimes view measuring our PR as a way to prove our worth to stakeholders, but measurement exists for another reason. According to Kami Huyse, founder of Zoetica Media, measuring and analyzing our data provides us with three results: Diagnose. We see what efforts worked and which ones didn't. Prioritize. We can make more strategic decisions and make better plans for the future.
Stories are the bread and butter of the PR world. They're what get accepted at guest publications, and they're what pique people's interest. That is, they generate media coverage and brand awareness and engagement. Telling a better story does mean revisiting the traditional story arc, but it also means writing for relevancy, clarity and cohesiveness, and emotion. 1.
Events remain a favorite tactic among marketers and PR pros. It's no wonder why; events self-perpetuate buzz, particularly as they become part of the established calendar. Just think about the upcoming Measurement Week. PR pros from around the world are taking part and hosting events in their hometowns.
If LEGO, the toy beloved by children and hated by parents' feet, can become embroiled in a PR crisis, no brand is safe. The brand has a longstanding partnership with Shell, but its recent production of Shell-branded LEGOs has brought down Greenpeace's wrath. LEGO responded to the environmental agency, but the response did little to alleviate concern or to clarify its stance on ...
When it comes to building your brand on Instagram, you basically have two options: you can create content yourself, or you can tap into your community and ask them to create it. Both are valid strategies for building brand on the social network, but they require different tactics and implementation.
When it comes to getting your story placed, you might be tempted to pursue high profile TV shows or news outlets like "The Wall Street Journal." Nothing is wrong with those outlets, but they might not be the ones most beneficial to you and outcomes like awareness and sales. You'll end up on a quest that only dead-ends rather than leads to your PR Holy Grail. Myth 1.
Most Twitter users are familiar with lists. They tend to use them to categorize followers according to what they do or where they live. It's a valid use of lists, but it neglects a potential option with high dividends: using Twitter lists to find relevant news outlets. Such a use is attractive to PR professionals; they seek to place stories in outlets where their key audience ...
"Earned media" may get almost all of the attention in today's PR world, but it isn't the only way to generate publicity. Other tactics include paid, owned and borrowed media. 1. Paid Media Paid media may not be a favorite method, but it can help achieve PR success. Paid media can be divided into two camps, traditional advertising and digital.
Vine remains a somewhat new social network, which means its "shiny" factor is still intact. It's exciting, fun and edgy and offers a creative challenge – creating a six-second video that shares your brand's personality or story is no easy feat. All of those qualities are winsome, but they neglect a simple, but profound question: should your brand be on Vine? It's important to pose the question.
Content marketing is an ecosystem. It isn't meant to exist in silos or to be the lone glass bottle left to itself on the side of the road. It's supposed to work with other content ranging from social updates to white papers and videos. To achieve that ecosystem, content marketers needs to visit the "green" concepts of reduce, reuse and recycle.
Technology is both a wonderful and terrible thing. It's given us the ability to work from anywhere and at any time, which is a boon for the night owls and early birds. We're no longer tied to the standard expectation of being planted in front of a computer from 9-5. Even so, technology has its ill effects.
To be more creative, Defy Ventures CEO Catherine Hoke doesn't check email, talk on the phone, or make appointments two days per month.
At a time when a third of Americans prefer texting to talking, and 84 percent of respondents in an international poll said they couldn't go for one day without their smartphones, it's safe to say that most of us desperately need a little time to unplug and recharge.
Everybody's crunched for time these days, and PR pros are no exception. You're charged with managing relationships within and outside your organization, identifying stories and pitching opportunities, and making sure that social doesn't run amok – and that's just in the first hour of your workday. You could work harder, but your goal should be to work smarter.
