Retirement might seem very far off into the distant future. But even so, it's one of those things in life that requires lots and lots of planning.
Retirement can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years but shockingly, a third of Americans have less than $1,000 saved up. If you want to live comfortably in retirement, you have to starting thinking about, and planning for it, right now.
As you think about what retirement looks like for you, here are 7 questions you need to ask yourself:
1. When do you want to retire?
The ideal retirement age is different for everyone. You may want to retire as early as possible, while someone else is perfectly content working until the age of 65.
Before determining how much you need to save for retirement, you first have to pick a targeted retirement age. There's no right or wrong answer and it all really depends on your personal life goals. But remember, the earlier you want to retire, the more you'll need to save.
A few factors to consider before choosing a specific retirement age include:
- Health
- Income
- Age
- Lifestyle
- Career
- Family
Take all of these into consideration while making your decision. And before finalizing everything, make sure you add in question #2 below.
2. When does your spouse want to retire?
Similarly, if you are married, you have to consider your spouse as well. When does he/she want to retire? They may want to retire earlier than you in order to travel.
Or perhaps they have health problems that won't allow them to work as long as you can. What's the plan?
Not only is it a matter of finances between the two of you but it's also about life goals and aspirations that you share. Ideally, you both will be in sync when it comes to when you want to retire and what you want to do.
3. Will you be eligible for Medicare?
Having proper health insurance is crucial, especially during your retirement years. If you retire at the age of 65, you should be eligible for Medicare. However, if you choose to retire early, you'll have to consider other health insurance providers.
Another factor to consider is Social Security benefits. Do you or your spouse qualify for those? And if so, how does this affect your overall income?
4. Where do you want to live during your retirement?
You always hear stories about people moving to Florida when they retire, and it's for good reason. The cost of living there is considerably lower than most major cities. In addition, it's sunny and warm.
Think carefully about where you want to live during your retirement years. Many want to be close to their kids and families. But if you're flexible, your retirement fund may be able to go a lot farther if you move.
This is something even motivational speaker Tony Robbins suggests is a smart idea;
"If there were a way you could save 10 percent to 20 percent, or more, of your current costs and invest them to bring financial freedom a decade closer — and perhaps have an even greater quality of life — wouldn't you owe it to yourself to push beyond the obvious obstacles and consider your options?"
5. Will you be working part-time?
Not all retirees stay at home catching up on reading, or play Bingo on weekends. Many choose to work part-time or have a small project on the side to fill up their time.
Is this something you or your spouse are considering? Do you have a hobby you can turn into a part-time job, or weekend gig?
This will bring in a small amount of income, which can definitely help during retirement. Perhaps it can even fund weekend getaways or a summer road trip.
6. What do you want to do during your retirement?
Many of us dream about retirement where we finally have the time to do the things we've always wanted to do. What does retirement look like for you? Will you travel, invest in fixing up your home, or some other activity?
Whatever it is, try to have a good understanding of what your life goals are during retirement. You not only want to spend that time wisely but you also want to make sure you can fund whatever it is you want to do.
7. How much do you need to save?
And finally, the most important question of them all: how much do you need to save? To get this number, calculate and consider the answers to all the questions above.
Then, factor in how old you currently are, how much you need to save each year, and how much interest you'll get if you start saving now. It may be a very rough number but at least it's partially accurate to help you get started.
Your goal of retirement is possible. You'll just need to adjust along the way but at least you'll be closer to achieving your goal.
What's another question you should ask yourself about retirement? How do you figure out the number you need to make your dream come true?

Pakistan missile modification taken very seriously: US
The US has taken "very seriously" the reports about illegal modifications made in the American-made Harpoon anti-ship missile by Pakistan, to expand capabilities to strike land targets, a potential threat to India, even as Islamabad has agreed for "mutual inspections".world Updated: Sep 01, 2009, 11:30 IST
The US has taken "very seriously" the reports about illegal modifications made in the American-made Harpoon anti-ship missile by Pakistan, to expand capabilities to strike land targets, a potential threat to India, even as Islamabad has agreed for "mutual inspections".
"This is something that we take very seriously. We have raised the issue with the Pakistani Government. The (Pak) Government has responded with an agreement in principle for mutually agreed inspections," the Assistant Secretary of State for Public Affairs P J Crowley, told PTI when asked about a news report published in The New York Times.
In a news report published August 30, The New York Times, quoting unnamed American official, said the US has accused Pakistan of illegally modifications in the Harpoon anti-ship missile to expand its capacity to strike land targets, a potential threat to India. Between 1985 and 1988 the Ronald Reagan administration delivered 165 Harpoon missiles to Pakistan.
"In this particular case, we have some concerns. We shared them with the Government of Pakistan. The Government of Pakistan has been responsive," Crowley said.
"We would wait and see if those inspections can address the concerns that we have raised," he said. The US has also accused Pakistan of modifying American-made P-3C aircraft for land-attack missions. Both are violations of the US law, including the Arms Control Export Act.
"I am not going to talk about specific issues, brought up in the story. We watch this closely. These are important agreements. This is not about any one country. With any country with which we exchange our defence articles, we have this kind of agreement," Crowley said.
"When we have concerns about how those systems should be used, we raise these concerns with the appropriate governments," he noted.
The violation by Pakistan were first noted by the American intelligence agencies on April 23, The New York Times said, when Pakistan had an unannounced suspicious missile test, that appeared to give the country a new offencive weapon. While Pakistan has denied those charges.
The modified version of the missile would be a significant new entry into Pakistan's arsenal against India as these would enable its small navy to strike targets on land in India, this complementing the sizable land-based missile arsenal that Pakistan has developed.
Since early this year, when the Obama Administration had proposed to triple the non-military aid and also increase its military assistance to Pakistan, a number of US lawmakers have been making similar charges against Pakistan and demanding that any military aid to the country should be conditional.
The Congress is in the final stages of taking a decision on providing USD 7.5 billion in civilian aid to Pakistan. The latest expose has the potential to "derail" this, the daily said.

Sushi Monster is a sushi aficionado on the Bay Area board. He helpfully offers a list of hallmarks of a good sushi restaurant—a list compiled while he chowed his way through two dozen sushi restaurants in quick succession.
"I would never reject a restaurant solely because it lacked some of these elements," he says. But the best sushi bars seem to have these things in common:
1. When you enter the restaurant (probably by passing under a heavy linen banner) the itamae (chef) greets you with a shouted "Irrashai!" which is short for "Welcome."
2. After you are seated at the bar, an oshibori (hot washcloth) materializes immediately.
3. The oshibori is followed by a mug of agari (green tea).
4. The bar itself is either bare wood or very plainly finished. The fish are on display in the refrigerated case in front of you.
5. At the bar, you order sushi directly from the itamae, never through a waitperson.
6. There is a whiteboard listing the special fish of the day.
7. The whiteboard and the menus are in both English and Japanese (an indication the restaurant has a significant Japanese clientele).
8. At the bar, the sushi is served on plain wooden planks rather than plates.
9. Even the most mundane detail shows an awareness of aesthetics, from the arc of the fish over the pad of rice to the proportion of rice to fish to the placement of a tiny piece of scallion. Sushi is simple food, and at its best it is simply beautiful.
10. A sushi bar is not a formal dining venue. It's the original fast-food joint, with a long convivial tradition. There is a certain warmth and clublike atmosphere to the best sushi bars that corresponds roughly to the homey feel of British pubs or Mediterranean cafes. Aside from the quality of the fish, perhaps the one sure sign you're probably in the right place is when you find yourself thinking: "Gee, this is really nice. I feel very relaxed here."

Dear Colleague Letter from Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Russlynn Ali
Dear Colleague Letter
Page 1
October 26, 2010
Dear Colleague:
In recent years, many state departments of education and local school districts have taken steps to reduce bullying in schools. The U.S. Department of Education (Department) fully supports these efforts. Bullying fosters a climate of fear and disrespect that can seriously impair the physical and psychological health of its victims and create conditions that negatively affect learning, thereby undermining the ability of students to achieve their full potential. The movement to adopt anti-bullying policies reflects schools' appreciation of their important responsibility to maintain a safe learning environment for all students. I am writing to remind you, however, that some student misconduct that falls under a school's anti-bullying policy also may trigger responsibilities under one or more of the federal antidiscrimination laws enforced by the Department's Office for Civil Rights (OCR). As discussed in more detail below, by limiting its response to a specific application of its anti-bullying disciplinary policy, a school may fail to properly consider whether the student misconduct also results in discriminatory harassment.

+++ The entries in the exhibitor & product database correspond to the registration status for GaLaBau 2020 of 1 April 2020. +++
Versatile compressed air power
Whether for powering breakers, impact borers, pneumatic hammers, or for maintenance and repair work, compressed air provides an essential source of energy for numerous gardening and landscaping applications. Moreover, with advanced Mobilair portable compressors from Kaeser, this is achieved with maximum cost- and energy efficiency.
Kaeser is proud to present its comprehensive range of versatile, powerful and efficient compressors at GaLaBau 2014 (Hall 7, Stand 111). Featuring highly durable scratch- and corrosion-resistant polymer enclosures, they are the ideal choice for any number of construction and landscaping applications.
Offering a host of portable compressor models, such as the M 13, M 20 PE, M 27 PE or M 31 PE, Kaeser has the right compressor for any need. With a capacity of 1.2 m³ per minute at 7 bar, for example, the M 13 portable compressor is perfect for powering breakers, drills, saws, grinders, impact wrenches or power moles. 10, 12 and 13-bar versions are optionally available for higher pressure requirements.
Furthermore, the refined design of the M 20 proves that impressive performance doesn't have to come from big, bulky machines, and its bigger brothers - the M 27 PE and M 31 PE - redefine the concept of versatile compressed air power. They can be equipped with an aftercooler and condensate separator to provide a dependable supply of cool, dry compressed air as required. Stationary versions of the M 27 / 31 are also available for specialised applications and can be easily installed on the cargo bed of a truck. The options don't stop there however: the M 27 / 31 PE can even be supplied with an integrated 6.5 kVA generator to deliver electrical power where and when it's needed.
The rotary screw compressors, which feature energy-saving Sigma Profile rotors, are designed for continuous duty and are driven by powerful, efficient engines. A continuous air delivery control system precisely matches compressor performance to suit actual compressed air demand, which further reduces fuel consumption of these already highly efficient compressor units. There are no worries when it comes to those cold morning starts either: Fitted as standard, Kaeser's patented Anti-Frost Control protects air tools from potential damage caused by freezing and corrosion.
The M 20 PE to 31 PE models feature a corrosion-resistant, rotomoulded polymer sound enclosure to ensure super-quiet operation and compliance with the latest sound emission standards.

Review: Intuos Creative Stylus
If you're a graphic designer or artist, how do you create on your iPad?
The Intuos Creative Stylus allows artists to have that hands on creative experience on their iPad that they would have on paper.
With 2048 levels of pressure sensitivity, you can adjust the level of pressure they apply just like paper. You won't even need to worry about resting your palm on the screen with bluetooth connectivity built in. It doesn't even require pairing if you use one of the apps that has integration.
It has an aluminium barrel with a soft plastic finger grip. There is a rocker switch that can be configured to work as optional buttons in certain apps. The 'nib' is a hollow rubber tip that can drag across the screen. For fine sketching, I do prefer my Adonit with its fine nib. I can see that the Intuos will be great for painting or shading.
The Intuos comes in its own case with a couple of replacement nibs. The pen does use an AAAA battery (I didn't know they were still used!).
I recommend keeping the pen in its case when not being used as it is touch sensitive and could drain the battery.
- Incredibly fine control in integrated apps
- 2 Replaceable nibs in the case
- Weight balanced
- Can break windows in an emergency
- Still doesn't make me a better artist
- Has to be kept in case for best battery life
- Requires iPad 3 or Mini and above
The Intuos Creative Stylus is an ideal tool for graphic artists to sketch or create on their iPad then transfer to a computer for final editing, its RRP is $169, but smart shoppers can easily find it from an NZ store for $50 cheaper. At that price point, it becomes a very tempting purchase
Score: 3.5 / 5

We've also heard from other sources that the update will also likely include more applications — though whether that will come via an expanded selection of 3rd party apps in the App Catalog or via more apps written by Palm is unclear.

Amazon has confirmed its top sales executive Lisa Utzschneider, is leaving the company, AdAge reports.
Earlier this week, Kara Swisher at Re/code reported that Yahoo's Marissa Meyer was trying to poach Utzschneider from Amazon, although it was unclear for which role.
Utzschneider, currently Amazon Media Group�s VP of global advertising sales, will leave the company at the end of the month and is to be replaced by its VP of North American advertising sales, Seth Dallaire, according to AdAge.
As Re/code reported, if Utzschneider moved to Yahoo she could be hired as a sales chief, or COO, as Yahoo never replaced Henrique De Castro who had held that role for just a few months until Mayer forced him out of the company in January.
Not much is known about Amazon Media�s ad business and in rare press interviews Utzschneider has been stereotypically tight-lipped about the size of the division or what percentage of group revenue advertising is responsible for. EMarketer estimated Amazon Media generated around $840 million in ad revenue last year.
Using that comparative, Yahoo�s display advertising business will be a step up for Utzschneider. The division generated $396 million in revenue in the last quarter alone, although this was down 5% on the same quarter on 2013.
If the reports are correct, Utzschneider will be joining Yahoo shortly after the company hired The Washington Post's chief revenue officer Kevin Gentzel as its head of sales. Industry sources have told Business Insider Gentzel is the kind of sales rep Yahoo needs to really kickstart its ad business.
Business Insider has contacted Yahoo for comment. This article will be updated once that has been received.

How to Take Your Baby's Temperature the Right Way?
I call it "mom's instinct" when you can read what is going on with your child by just one look. I bet that you have also mastered natural ways to know if your little one has a fever. However, learning how to check your baby's temperature is critical for an accurate result.
When it comes to fever, we can never be sure.
Fever in Babies
Fever is a sign that the body is fighting an infection. For babies, body temperature is confusing at first. Newborns are not capable of regulating their body temperature. So, when there are changes in weather or other factors that can affect the body heat, they find it difficult to adjust.
A normal temperature for an infant is 37 deg. Celsius. A reading that is more than that is already an indication of fever. Nevertheless, there are situations that even though babies are too hot, they are completely healthy. Therefore, it is vital to pay attention to such conditions.
I encourage you always to keep a digital thermometer at home.
How to Make Temperature Readings Accurate?
Temperature readings are a significant data for an accurate treatment of your child's illness. Although there are other methods to determine the body temperature such as fever strips, I still recommend using a digital thermometer for an accurate result. Below is a guide on what to do first before checking the temperature.
Points to Remember
Different Kinds of Digital Thermometer
#1. Standard Multi-use Digital Thermometer
This type is for oral, rectal and axillary (under the arm) use. There is a heat sensor at the tip of the thermometer. It reads the temperature when it touches the body. Remember that it is unhygienic to use the same thermometer for both areas.
#2. Tympanic (Ear canal) Digital Infrared Thermometer
Tympanic Digital Thermometer gets the reading from the heat waves released by the eardrums. This is effective for babies that are six months and above. Keep in mind that too much earwax can make the reading incorrect.
#3. Temporal Artery (Forehead) Digital Thermometer
The forehead thermometer takes its reading from the infrared heat waves released by the temporal artery of the forehead. This type is reliable for newborns that are three months old and below.
How to check your baby's temperature correctly using a digital thermometer?
#1. Rectal Thermometer - Reads any slight fluctuations of temperature. Therefore, it is the most accurate thermometer.
#2. Temporal Thermometer - is a lot easier to use than the rectal.
#3. Armpit Thermometer - is usually the first method that any will use in checking the temperature. It is simple, convenient, and safe. However, since it is external, it tends to be less accurate than the others by about two degrees. Therefore, if your baby is three months old or lower, it is better not to opt for this type.
#4. Ear thermometer - is the fastest to get a reading amongst all. It is safe and does not create any discomfort to babies. However, you need to insert it correctly for a precise and reliable result.
Remember, babies that are six months and younger cannot use this thermometer. Their ear passage is still narrow making it hard for insertion.
#5. Oral Thermometer - is the typical temperature method even for adults. Only children 4 years old and older are safe to use this procedure. They can already hold the thermometer while waiting for the result but ALWAYS keep an eye on them.
Since the rectal thermometer is the most accurate but also the most difficult to use, I am showing you a video on how to do it correctly.
Here is an age guideline for measuring temperature. Take the temperature using the thermometer according to the child's age.
Knowing what to do when baby has a fever is crucial for a mom. Learning how to check your baby's temperature is necessary for monitoring when she is sick. Using digital thermometers are less stressful than those traditional types. However, you must know when to need help from doctors especially when the reading is consistently high.

Changing the System: The Music of Christian Wolff
Routledge, Apr 8, 2016 - Music - 284 pages
Christian Wolff is a composer who has followed a distinctive path often at the centre of avant-garde activity working alongside figures such as John Cage, Merce Cunningham, and Cornelius Cardew. In a career spanning sixty years, he has produced a significant and influential body of work that has aimed to address, in a searching and provocative manner, what it means to be an experimental and socially aware artist. This book provides a wide-ranging introduction to a composer often overlooked despite his influence upon many of the major figures in new music since the 1950s from Cage to John Zorn to the new wave of experimentalists across the globe. As the first detailed analysis of the music of this prolific and highly individual composer, Changing the System: The Music of Christian Wolff contains contributions from leading experts in the field of new and experimental music, as well as from performers and composers who have worked with Wolff. The reception of Wolff's music is discussed in relation to the European avant-garde and also within the context of Wolff's association with Cage and Feldman. Music from his earliest compositions of the 1950s, the highly indeterminate scores, the politically-inspired pieces up to the most recent works are discussed in detail, both in relation to their compositional techniques, general aesthetic development, and matters of performance. The particular challenges and aesthetic issues arising from Wolff's idiosyncratic notations and the implications for performers are a central theme. Likewise, the ways in which Wolff's political persuasions - which arguably account for some of the notational methods he chooses - have been worked out through his music, are examined. With a foreword by his close associate Michael Parsons, this is a valuable addition to experimental music literature.

A Year of Living Dangerously at DC Fringe Fest
My sister's boyfriend's play at DC Fringe Fest, A Year of Living Dangerously, is good. His name's Brent Englar and he wrote and directed it. One of the characters has a funny but accurate Maryland accent where he pronounces his O's weirdly and it's great.
The theater feels kind of like La MaMa in Manhattan, but there's no nudity. At first I was disappointed because the play seems like it should have nudity, but then I decided that with all the edgy plays at Fringe Fest with edgy titles, it was nice to see a play that didn't go for shock value. It's getting good reviews.
There's one show left on Saturday at 6pm.

Virtu and Fortuño
Luis Fortuño? Why not? The Republicanish governor of Puerto Rico seems like a good VP choice to spice up an underdog GOP candidacy. Not only is he Latino, but he looks as though he's even mestizo.
Republican politicians are pretty Machiavellian, and Machiavelli wrote that success comes from a combination of virtu and fortuna. Clearly all of the major Republican candidates already have virtue covered, so maybe somebody like Michele Bachmann will see Fortuño's name, and once someone reminds her that Puerto Rico is part of the United States she'll see it as a sign.
Between having the first female or Mormon major party presidential nominee and the first (that I know of) Latino and mestizo vice presidential nominee, the Republicans may be able to grab enough moderate Mormon/female and Latino voters to win.
So of course I bought these domains today:

Ordfront, 2014.

Review Section: Non Fiction
It is easy to get lost in the intricacies of the Thirty Years War (henceforth 'the War'). Even for those familiar with the period, navigating through a conflict that began in 1618 and dragged on until 1648 often relies on recollection of a few key events such as the Defenestration of Prague, the Battle of Lützen, and the Peace of Westphalia interspersed with assessments of a few of the notorious individuals involved such as Count Wallenstein, Gustav ll Adolf, and Ferdinand ll. To this can be added some views on religious strife, the brutality of 17th century warfare and its effect on the populations of Europe. Professor Harrison's book guides us confidently through the numerous complexities of the War without losing us in needless detail. Unlike the War, which was spectacularly wasteful, Harrison squanders few words or pages in his masterly history of this great European disaster.
The conflict that is most comparable to the War in its blend of great power intrigue, complex local quarrels, territorial ambition, dynastic concerns, religious fanaticism and sheer barbarity is today's in the Middle East. For example, those appalled at the treatment of ordinary people by the so-called 'Islamic State' fighters and the Baathist regime in Syria will find from this book that their European forebears practised similar atrocities throughout the War – also often using religion as an excuse.
The author departs somewhat from the straightforward chronological narrative that most historians have followed – for example C. V. Wedgewood and, recently, P.H. Wilson (more than sixty historians have published on the War in English alone) – adding fascinating thematic diversions into specific topics such as anti-Semitism. Also, we get not only a probing geopolitical and military analysis but are also exposed to the full impact of the War on daily life. Harrison makes frequent reference to the recollections of people who recorded their often distressing experiences. Indeed, the book's title is taken from the memoirs of a miller's daughter from a war-torn area near Nürnberg. These interludes are skilfully blended into the narrative of diplomatic manoeuvring and military engagements which carries the book along. However, more maps would provide greater understanding of roving armies and territorial disputes; for instance, P.H. Wilson's book has 25 invaluable battle plans.
Another attractive feature is the author's portrayals of the main dramatis personae that populate the period. There is indeed an abundance of vain, stupid, haughty, obsessive, ambitious, gifted, ruthless and greedy characters in this account and the author presents their essential characteristics in a memorably accessible and sometimes humorous way. This understanding is important to any appreciation of the dynamics of the War because these individual men (sometimes women, such as the redoubtable Amelie Elisabeth of Hesse-Kassel) singlehandedly took decisions which cost lives and sometimes kingdoms.
The War essentially concerned succession and territory rather than religion. The constant feuding over boundaries and dynastic issues between the small states and princelings of Europe was manipulated and overshadowed by the great powers such as the Hapsburgs and the Bourbons whose territorial ambitions were on the grand scale. The extent of European fragmentation is underlined by Harrison's statistic that 194 states were represented in the eventual peace discussions that began in 1646.
This was the first global conflict; the warring nations of Europe took their fighting to lands that they coveted in Africa, America and Asia. So we learn, perhaps with surprise, that Angola, Brazil and Ceylon were conflict zones.
The relatively new technology of printing was also pressed into service to support propaganda by all sides in the conflict to portray their enemies as dastardly and their own aims as reasonable and legitimate. Art also reflected the conflict and Harrison uses Peter Paul Rubens' The Consequences of War both to illustrate the book's cover and exemplify the damage that the War caused. Illustrations from Jacques Callot's Les Grandes misères de la guerre also are used to good effect throughout the book.
But Harrison's main point is that away from the battlefield, the conflict was between the soldiers (often mercenaries) and the peasants and burghers in the territories that the huge, hungry, plundering armies traversed, occupied and laid waste. The memoirs and diaries reveal the brutality of seizure of goods and food, forced payments, compulsory occupation of homes and viciousness on a regular basis; subjected to assault, rape, torture and death, the citizenry found that no amount of compliance could provide protection from violence, destitution and starvation. Co-religionists behaved equally badly and even the worst perpetrators rarely faced justice. Swedish soldiers were no exception to this brutal behaviour. This was truly a peoples' war in which the people suffered while their rulers selfishly minded their own interests.
Professor Harrison has produced an outstandingly readable book that delivers a clear account of the War, skilful assessment of its events, consequences and personalities, and valuable insights into the lives of those caught up in its mesh.

Falling HP Printer Prices Attract New Consumers
Dion Weisler, CEO of HP Inc, made the comments during an analyst's call to discuss the company's disappointing 4Q 2015 results, The Imaging Channel reported.
Weisler also said in the call that the pricing pressures that had led to the plummeting prices had been accelerated by on-going effects of currency movements, at a rate that surpassed the OEM's expectations, with the overall printing market weaker than HP Inc had expected.
Digitek said that last month the OEM increased the prices on a number of its "small format ink cartridges, print heads, photo value packs and small format media" by an average of 5.2%.
Full year net revenue for the total Printing and Personal Systems group totalled $52.7 billion, down from the 2014 figure of $57.5 billion. 4Q 2015 hardware units sales were down 17% for the full year, while commercial hardware fell 23% year-on-year, as did supplies revenue, by 10%.

OEM Ink & Toner in Top Shopping Rip-Offs
The article, from UK internet and telecoms company BT, refers to a recent British television program "The Shopper's Guide to Saving", which looked at the high cost of ink and also investigated the quality of remanufactured cartridges. It adds that "an everage branded printer ink 5ml cartridge" can cost between $12 and $22 "to buy in the shops, but costs less than $0.76 to make".
BT notes in turn that the reason for this "is manufacturers use printer ink to help recoup the cost of the expensive technology in our actual printers, which are generally quite affordable", with cartridges just one purchase that "many of us pay a premium for". Products that are also "slickly marketed and branded" are often bought "when there are much cheaper alternatives available".
The article then adds that "one way to save on the high cost of printer ink" is to "recycle your old cartridges" and "buy refurbished replacements", which it notes are "refilled with ink and cost up to 40% less than buying a brand new replacement". Also, customers are recommended to "alternatively" shop for "non-branded replacement inks, which are also just as good".

Women Steal $10,000 of Ink Cartridges in US
An internal memo said managers believe the two have taken at least $7,200 in ink cartridges from the Lynwood store, by stuffing them into large handbags, KOMO news reported. The two women have also been seen at four other stores, including the Airport Way and Aurora Avenue North locations in Seattle, where the remainder of the $10,000-worth of cartridges may have been stolen, police believe.
In 2011, Office Depot employee Dion Alexander was given 16 months in prison for dealing more than $500,000 in toner from the company's Kent warehouse.
The US Department of Commerce estimates at least 10,000 Craigslist postings and over 300,000 eBay listings at any time are for toner and ink cartridges. Local Cartridge World franchisee James Kinsky said: "Brand name cartridges are very expensive, they are more expensive that Chanel No. 5. So if people can steal them, they can sell them on the internet for quite a bit of money. Doing it right in the middle of the day seems pretty brazen. I assume they will catch up to them sooner or later."

Inkjet MFPs Customer Satisfaction - Report
The report measures multi-function inkjet printer satisfaction based on six factors (in order of importance): performance; reliability; ease of operation; variety of features; price paid; and customer service. Satisfaction is measured on a 1,000-point scale.
Overall satisfaction among multi-function inkjet printer customers is 850 in 2015, down by 7 points from 2014. Satisfaction declines slightly year over year across all factors, with a notable drop in the customer service (-23 points) and ease of operation (-12) factors.
"While performance and reliability remain most important among multi-function inkjet printer owners, ease of operation and customer service has emerged as problematic this year," said Christina Cooley, director in the diversified services industries practice at J.D. Power. "If customers who have difficulty operating their printers call customer service for help but then have a poor experience resolving their problem, the perception of printer quality is diminished. The printers that perform well, are dependable, and are user-friendly will have the best opportunity to delight customers and maintain loyalty and advocacy for the brand."
· Among customers who rate overall satisfaction 10 (outstanding) on a 10-point scale, 81% say they "definitely will" purchase another multi-function inkjet printer from the brand they currently own in the future, compared with the report average of 50%.
· As satisfaction increases, shoppers are more likely to provide positive recommendations to family members, friends or colleagues. On average, customers who rate overall satisfaction 10 provide 5.6 positive recommendations, compared with an average of 2.5 among those who rate overall satisfaction 8.
· Fully 66% of customers purchase multi-function inkjet printers in a store, followed by 32% who purchase online.
· Price is the primary reason for choosing a multi-function inkjet printer brand (68%), followed by brand reputation (49%) and previous experience with brand (45%).
· The average price paid for a multi-function inkjet printer is $144.

Xerox New Tool Helps Businesses Reduce Toner Use
During the printing process, square computer pixels are converted into circles that can be read by the printing device, creating an overlap in ink and toner coverage but using an intelligent software, the Toner Optimizer tool from Xerox can detect and eliminate overlapping pixels, as well as the unnecessary use and overuse of ink and toner – reducing waste and print-related costs.
The new optimizing tool is designed to help clients:
· Gain visibility into the print environment: The tool enables business clients to gain visibility into their print infrastructure, including directly connected USB devices, capturing information such as job tracking details, toner and paper usage, or number of connected users and printed pages.
· Demonstrate environmental responsibility and accountability: The tool's ability to identify and remove unnecessary pixels during printing helps businesses support sustainability initiatives and reduce toner consumption and waste, which subsequently results in less toner transportation and packaging.
· Achieve optimal print results: The toner optimizer tool uses advanced algorithms to identify different elements on the page, such as text, graphics and images, to enable high-quality printing of a variety of documents.
· Integrate into current MPS or IT environments: Self-discovery and self-configuring techniques enable the tool to seamlessly integrate into print environments or can be adjusted to meet specific requirements within user groups or applications. A desktop software-enabled tool runs in the background and is invisible to end-users so there is no interruption to existing business processes or workflow.
· Make data-driven decisions: The collection and reporting of job-related data enables businesses to better manage resources by making data-driven decisions and identifying further cost-saving opportunities.

Printer Supplies -- Key to SMBs Productiveness
Ink and toner were found to be the second most "productive" of office supplies for SMBs, with computers first at 52%, and printing and fax machines at 45%. Creatively, 30% named markers, while 14% and 11% respectively said highlighters and envelopes made them feel "in control". Payroll and salaries, and advertising and marketing, were the second and third highest investments for SMBs, with 25% and 22% respectively.
Interestingly, despite "technology's prevalence in the workplace", 42% of SMBs said that "paper is their favorite office gear", while 26% said pens, but 39% preferred ink and toner. Computers were the fourth "most desired" supply with 20%. For office organisation, essentials (at 51%), sticky notes (at 50%) and legal pads (41%) were the most popular, but file folders (with 65%) were the most popular.
Steve Calkins, Executive Vice President of Office Depot's Business Solutions Division, stated: "At Office Depot, we realize it's important for SMBs to make the right investments to stay nimble and lean. Whether it's paper and pens or computers, we make it easy to equip SMBs with tools that maximize efficiency and help them achieve success."

Do NOT Update Your Printer Firmware
If it's not broke... don't fix it!
Consumers are losing literally millions a year because they're "Locked In".
Don't update your Printer Firmware or it could cost you.
Manufacturers, such as Lexmark, HP, Brother and Canon use "Firmware" to control your printing supplies and options.
The printer manufacturers, Lexmark, HP, Brother and Canon are continuing to modify the "Firmware" (Firmware controls the functions of a printer's features) you use to prevent you from choosing the origin and type of the supplies you use. Don't permit them from dictating what you purchase and how much you pay.
Most Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) suggest you to set your printer to download firmware updates and install them automatically.
We at Priceless Ink & Toner suggest you to change the setting disallowing automatic updates. This will allow you to use our high quality compatible and remanufactured printer supplies and reduce your printing costs. Otherwise you will only be able to use the original (OEM) printer cartridges.
Once the firmware has been updated it is not easy and also very time consuming to roll back to the older version that worked with the compatible and remanufactured printing cartridges.
After all if you're happy with how your device is performing, there is usually little point in rushing to install the newer firmware that could cause you hours of problems or even calls to an expensive helpline.
With these particular manufacturers, quite often, a new firmware upgrade can actually downgrade features and/or functionality. Specifically, firmware designed to limit or restrict the use of third party (aka aftermarket) consumables. That is fine, if you only use OEM brand printer cartridges in your device, firmware updates are unlikely to have any impact on you. However, if you prefer to have a choice and use third party compatibles or remanufactured ink and toner cartridges, it's probably best if you don't upgrade to any non-critical versions just yet.
We at Priceless Ink & Toner had many customers with a previously fully functioning printer contact us to say they suddenly can't use any of our third party cartridges which, they have been using with complete satisfaction for years. The reason almost always is caused by a recently installed printer firmware update.
Updates can be installed or prompted to an end user in several different and increasingly disguised ways. Usually in the form of a pop up dialogue box on your PC or message in your task bar, with details of a file to download and the change list of the file. Alternatively, you may have agreed to receive automatic updates when you ticked the relevant box during the initial installation of the printer software. Terms of Use and Conditions is something not many of us actually take time to read.
Recently HP have been asking customers to 'lock' their genuine cartridges to protect against theft. Once the cartridges are locked, they cannot be used in any other printer. This has a knock on effect when the empty cartridge is made available to a re-manufacturer, as the printer information remains locked to the cartridge preventing any future use in a different printer.
Read the information thoroughly before agreeing to any such update, as there will only be one person to blame, if you suddenly lose the ability to use that collection of cheaper print cartridges!
You will know if this has happened when you get constant messages similar to "Cartridges locked to another printer", "Cartridges failed" or "Cartridges cannot be recognized". You've probably just gone past the point of no return!
Finally, don't be confused between upgrading Printer Drivers and Printer Firmware...
Drivers are installed on your PC to help the Printer and PC to communicate. These can usually be updated and rolled back to a previous version and do not have any impact on what you can and can't use in your printer.
Firmware on the other hand, is installed directly to your printer and contains more permanent fixes and features. Manufacturers usually recommend the latest Firmware as it may provide significant enhancements to speed and functionality, although once installed, I'm afraid you're stuck with it until a newer version is released.
Call Priceless for accurate advise on new printers and which are cost effective for your needs.

10 Steps to Secure Your Printing
Digital copiers, also known as multi-function printers (MFPs – office machines that have the ability to print, scan, copy and fax) have hard drives, embedded firmware and the ability to communicate with other systems on the network. They are susceptible to the same security vulnerabilities that a computer is, and without the proper security measures in place, the MFP poses a significant risk of sensitive information exposure.
Networked MFPs are now commonplace in the workplace environment, with office workers using them daily to print, scan and fax documents over the network; in many instances these documents contain sensitive information. To prevent damaging data breaches, government organizations must control and protect both the physical and electronic access points on their MFPs.
The following are 10 specific steps that agencies must consider to secure MFPs, based on common scenarios that exist in most environments.
1. Require user authentication. There is no MFP more unsecure than one that allows anonymous usage; such devices are susceptible to various forms of abuse and can make tracing the source of a data breach or leak virtually impossible. Authentication enables the auditing, reporting and tracking of user activity as well as various other security features.
2. Restrict access based on user authorization. Just because a user has authenticated into the system, doesn't mean he should have access to every function. At the MFPs, restricting access ensures that users only have access to those resources on the network that they normally do.
3. Centrally audit all network activity. Compliance security standards require most organizations to implement procedures to regularly review records of information system activity, such as audit logs, access reports and security incident tracking reports. Centrally building an audit trail of all copy, print, scan, email and fax activity at every networked MFP will bring use of these devices into compliance.
4. Encrypt data to/from MFPs. In order to ensure data security, all data transmitted to and from an MFP should be encrypted. Government agencies must leverage encryption technology that meets specific security guidelines defined by Federal Information Processing Standard Publication 140-2.
5. Implement pull printing. In order to avoid exposing documents to risks when printed, secure printing requires that users authenticate at the device before documents are released. The device must print only those documents that are associated with the authenticated user, and the print job must not be stored on the device prior to printing.
6. Implement rules-based printing. Rules-based printing controls output by analyzing print jobs before release, based on a set of established rules, to determine how they are printed. Organizations with established print policies, such as the U.S. Army Directive 2013-26 "Armywide Management of Printing and Copying Devices" or the General Services Administration PrintWise program, can enforce these policies with the implementation of rules-based printing functionality.
7. Enforce trusted destinations. Once necessary measures have been taken to restrict access to network functions of an MFP through authentication and authorization controls, agencies must ensure the devices are configured to properly prevent documents from being scanned or faxed to any destinations that may risk sensitive data exposure. A common "high risk" scenario is a networked MFP that is configured for "scan-to-email" and outbound analog faxing without controls in place to validate the email address or fax number of the recipient.
8. Monitor and control PII activity. Most government organizations have policies in place to protect personally identifiable information (PII) and other sensitive content. For example, the Department of Homeland Security issued its "Handbook for Safeguarding Sensitive Personally Identifiable Information" outlining mandatory guidelines for all employees to follow to protect PII within and outside of the organization. Similarly, the Navy published a "Users Guide to PII" containing compliance requirements and protective measures to safeguard Navy and Marine Corps. Agencies should leverage software to systematically enforce the PII policies they have enacted. Without a solution in place, organizations must rely on employees manually following protocol, leaving no room for user error.
9. Standardize and integrate network scanning. One common problem with traditionally configured office MFPs is that no two devices within an organization are setup the same way for document scanning. In a typical scenario, each MFP is manually mapped to a network file share with no standardization throughout the organization. Through standardization, administrators can centrally control network folder scanning with a single configuration. Also important is integration support for all of the major commercial off-the-shelf document systems to enable direct and secure scanning.
10. Securing print processes. To prevent damaging data breaches, government organizations must control and protect both the physical and electronic access points on their MFPs. The penalties, settlements and costs for failing to safeguard sensitive information are increasing, and there are simply too many touch points that create risk in sharing information. Most of these involve the technologies that organizations are counting on – especially networked MFPs that copy, print, scan, fax and email.
Agencies must act to enable the compliant exchange of sensitive information and PII by adding a layer of security and control to paper-based and electronic processes. They need an approach that transparently applies automated security techniques – which cannot be circumvented – that authenticate users, control access to workflows, encrypt data, validate network destinations, monitor and control all documents containing PII and build and maintain an audit trail of all user activity. By adopting this approach, government organizations can minimize the manual work and decisions that introduce human error, mitigate the risk of non-compliance and help avoid the damaging costs of sensitive data exposure.

Unprint Technology Financed
Cambridge News reported on Cambridge University "spin-out" company Reduse, which has created the 'unprinter' technology, receiving $778,500 in investment from Cambridge Enterprise, the university's commercialization arm, as well as Cambridge Enterprise Fund III, bringing its total investment fund to nearly $1.5 million. The technology removes printed text and images from paper, "allowing it to be reused".
The technology uses lasers to "remove print from laser-printed and photocopied paper", which can be repeated "several times without damaging the fibers of the paper". Reduse believes that this can reduce "a business' paper costs by as much as 40%", with the average office employee using 10,000 sheets of paper a year and discarding around 80% of this within "a few days". The system works with both "standard laserjet and copy machine toner", Reduse added.
Hidde-Jan Lemestra, CEO and Co-founder of Reduse, stated: "It is our goal to allow the reuse of paper, eliminating the need for recycling. Cambridge Enterprise and Park Walk Advisors, which manages the University of Cambridge Enterprise Fund III, share this vision and are important partners as we continue to develop this technology."
"Over the course of the coming months, we will be working on prototype development and further engagement with customers while continuing our conversations with some of the biggest printer manufacturers in the world."
Mike Arnott, Cambridge Enterprise Investment Manager, is set to join the Reduse Board of Directors, and added: "We have been observing Reduse make impressive progress in their pre-funding stage. With such an enormous opportunity and a strong team, we're looking forward to working with them."
Stuart Evans, Chairman and Co-founder of Reduse, commented: "Unprinting is a unique, intuitive solution to a global problem. With a lot of interest from a very diverse customer base, I believe we are on the right track to developing something that will change the way we think about using paper."
Still, to be able to unprint, you need to print first. So when you run out of toner, visit priceless-inkjet.com and resupply.

Brother on Aftermarket Chips for Inkjet Printers
The white paper is titled Technical white paper: Aftermarket chips for Brother inkjet printers, and follows in the footsteps of a similar production from HP in 2013, in that it aims to help remanufacturers avoid conflicts with aftermarket chips. The OEM states that it has recently launched inkjet printers that "contain a new cartridge authentication function", which provides customers with a message "stating whether the ink cartridge installed is a Brother-branded ink cartridge" manufactured by the OEM, or a "non-Brother ink cartridge manufactured by others".
Chip manufacturers are asked to "please follow and comply with the instructions", and not to "attempt to use any programs to circumvent this cartridge function". The authentication software has been developed to "properly inform" users that they are using either a Brother or non-Brother cartridge, but some cartridges had "misidentified themselves" as genuine, and the OEM believes the new software will "provide better transparency to customers to make an informed choice", which will "be beneficial to everyone concerned in the ink cartridge market".
The programming and identification recommended "will not result in any loss to features or quality in printing", Brother adds, as third-party suppliers can "properly identify" their products to "demonstrate to your customers that your products are respectful of registered trademarks". Its instructions discuss programming the data field on chips "correctly" for the new machines, with manufacturers told to change string ASCII characters to "some other value" from Brother.
A third-party manufacturer's "own brand identifiers" are recommended instead, and the next step is to change "Field X" after the ASCII characters to "0x01', as only "0x00" should be used for genuine Brother cartridges. The OEM warns that "putting any value other than Brother as ASCII characters", and putting "0x01" in the field, will "only change the display message that the customer sees". Other than the printers already listed, Brother states that inkjet machines with 2.7-inch or larger displays launched this summer "are expected to have this authentication messaging function".
Concluding that the white paper "may be updated in the future", the OEM states that with more machines being released that will contain the software, remanufacturers and chip manufacturers are asked to "properly and consistently program the existing chips of your cartridges by following the instructions".

Best Printers by Business Choice Awards 2015
The world talks a good game when it says "paperless" is the way to go, but printers are here to stay, especially in the work environment. Whether you work from home or at the corner office in the corporate tower, your desk is covered in print outs, and the printer in the corner is likely humming along all day long.
That's why, as part of the regular Readers' Choice Survey on printers every year conducted by PCMag, they made sure to ask not just about the little inkjets used to print the kids' art projects, but how readers feel about the high-end printing systems they use. After all, they can't stress-test all the printers in PCMag Labs reviews, so it helps to get the perspective of the people in the trenches.
The follow page reveals the results: the printer makers you should turn to when you want low costs, high reliability, and just an overall excellent experience. The magazine will also compare the results to what they saw last year, so you get a better idea of who is improving and what vendors are worth reconsidering. After all, even at a bargain price, an unreliable printer will get you nowhere.
Printers for Work
Last year the results were a neck-and-neck race between three favorite printer makers: Brother, Canon, and Epson. This year, things got even closer, yet in many ways easier to call.
Brother had the clear lead last year with an overall score of 8.6 (on a scale of 0 to 10, with 10 indicating perfect overall satisfaction). For 2015, it fell back, leading to a three-way tie at 8.4 between Brother, Epson, and Xerox.
In the end, PC Mag had to give the Business Choice Award to the two winners from last year, Brother and Epson. Both of them have best-in-class-scores for reliability (8.7 for each), a low number of products that needed actual repair (Brother at 6%, Epson at 5%), and excellent likelihood to recommend numbers (8.5 and 8.4, respectively).
Xerox, while it did well in that overall satisfaction question, can't compete in any other way. Its reliability score of 8.3 is behind most of the vendors that made the cut (only Dell and Lexmark did worse). Xerox also continues to have an embarrassingly high numbers of products that require repair, at 23%. That's almost one in four Xerox printers getting sent back to be fixed.
The big fall this year goes to Canon. A favorite in PCMag's Readers' Choice for over a decade, this is the first year the company has dropped out of favor in the home survey and now in the business-end survey. Canon's overall score of 8.2 puts it on par with HP, another huge name in the industry, but one that has never had the affinity with our audience that Canon has—or had. That said, Canon still had pretty excellent marks for reliability of 8.6, just behind Brother and Epson's 8.7. Canon's likelihood to be recommended is also just a hair lower than Epson, if you factor the Net Promoter scores, which show Epson at 51% and Canon at 48%.
When it comes to these numbers, the world of work printers is an open field. Samsung also has a fighting chance in a year or so, if it can improve reliability and cut back that 10% of units needing repair. It really could be a contender for the office printer market award. We'll see in 2016.
For the 2015 Business Choice series, PCMag emailed survey invitations to their community members, specifically subscribers to their Readers' Choice Survey mailing list. This survey was hosted by Equation Research, which also performs PCMag's data collection. This survey was in the field from June 22, 2015 through July 12, 2015.
Respondents were asked to rate their business printer. They were asked multiple questions about their overall satisfaction as well as experiences with technical support within the past 12 months.
Because the goal of the survey is to understand how the printer compare to one another and not how one respondent's experience compares to another's, PCMag use the average of the printer manufacturer's rating, not the average of every respondent's rating. In all cases, the overall ratings are not based on averages of other scores in the table; they are based on answers to the question, "Overall, how satisfied are you with your printer for work?"
Scores not represented as a percentage are on a scale of 0 to 10 where 10 is the best.
Net Promoter Scores are based on the concept introduced by Fred Reichheld in his 2006 best seller, The Ultimate Question, that no other question can better define the loyalty of a company's customers than "how likely is it that you would recommend this company to a friend or colleague?" This measure of brand loyalty is calculated by taking the percent of respondents who answered 9 or 10 (promoters) and subtracting the percent who answered 0 through 6 (detractors).

HP to be Sued for False Advertising
Legal Newsline reported on the class action begun by consumer Anne Wolf at the US District Court for the Central District of California, which has targeted HP for alleged "false advertising". Wolf's suit against the OEM contends that its printers "don't operate as advertised" as the machines "can't download necessary software from the internet even though the company advertises they can".
Wolf's suit – case number 5:15-cv-01221 – has been taken on by lawyers Todd M. Friedman and Adrian R. Bacon, and lso seeks to "prevent HP from advertising" that its printers feature the 'HP Smart Install' option, which reportedly means "products can automatically download software from the internet". The case argues that this feature "has been disabled on some of the printers even though the company continues to advertise it".
In turn, the lawsuit alleges that "on the outside of the boxes of these printers, there is a statement assuring customers that these printers will be easy to install because of the inclusion of the 'HP Smart Install' feature". Wolf is seeking class action status for both the case and "for those who purchased the printers expecting the smart install feature", and is also looking to win damages of "more than" $5 million plus court costs.
The OEM previously settled three class actions pertaining to HP inkjet cartridges in October 2014, while another relating to printers was dismissed in 2012, and a class action focused on LaserJets was also settled in 2011.

Large Format 3D Printer in Shipping Containers
The Mille 3D printer can be stacked, shipped and parked in a driveway or garage, "and at the end of a road trip [you can] open the doors to a new object", Southwest FL 3D founder Andy Tran told 3DPrint.com.
The news site said the innovation "could dramatically increase the mobility of 3D printing", while cutting production costs associated with the machines. It overcomes the issue that 3D printing is often not feasible for individuals as they cannot store and operate such a large-scale device. The shipping container-stored printer could potentially be "stacked, decorated, and customized however a user would like".
Tran said: "When you start building a large machine, one of the largest costs is the frame. The Mille solves this with its design and uses a watertight weather proof shipping container hull. 3D printer hardware bolts directly to the steel walls. Shipping containers offer standard interior and exterior sizes so virtually any container can be retrofitted."
Containers of lengths 20, 40, and 52 feet can be used, and the inventor said there is potential for expansion modules, including onboard batteries such as the solar-charged Tesla Power Wall, material shredding and extrusion options, a conveyor-belt style print bed and 3D scanners. The containers could become entirely mobile, automated 3D printing workstations.
Tran commented: "One extension module includes an onboard material handling module that shreds plastic to be extruded as filament. The filament can be mixed with other materials for various properties. With the advancement of new material technologies and hybrid filaments the Mille 3D printer will make large objects bigger and better."
He plans to either open-source the design on the 3DPB.com forum or to turn it into a commercial product, for creators to make their own with DIY kits.
3d printer supplies are coming soon at priceless-inkjet.com. Stay tuned!

John 13:34-35
A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples if you have love for one another."
We miserably fail in this commandment in that the moment someone slights us we lash back to let them know they have wronged us. We also fail in that we love those who only love us, or can do for us.
We aren't greater than Jesus (**John 13:16**) and if He loved the ones who didn't return the love, *we ought to love everyone like He did.* (**Luke 23:34**)

A lot of teams are creeping towards lock status. Keep in mind, how many wins a team needs to become a lock isn't just based on their current resume, but the potential bad losses and good wins that remain on their future schedule. So a team like Houston might need to win more games than Creighton to lock a bid since Creighton has a much more difficult remaining schedule. With that in mind, the bubble has now trimmed itself and we have four distinct categories of teams: Tourney Bound, Looking Solid, Truly Bubbly, and Longshots.
Let's break down each category.
TOURNEY BOUND – These 18 teams, including some new additions, are going to the NCAA Tournament:
Villanova, UNC, Kansas, Virginia, Xavier, Auburn, Michigan State, Texas Tech, Cincinnati, Tennessee, Wichita State, Kentucky, West Virginia, Michigan, Arizona, Duke, Ohio State, and Purdue
LOOKING SOLID – These 16 teams are likely to be in the field and will cement a spot with the following number of regular season wins:
Alabama – 1
Arkansas – 1
Butler – 1
Clemson – 1
Gonzaga – 1
Missouri – 1
Florida State – 1
Seton Hall – 1
Texas A&M – 1
Rhode Island – 1
Miami – 2
Oklahoma – 2
Arizona State – 2
Houston – 2
Virginia Tech – 2
TRULY BUBBLY – These teams represent the "true bubble." Some will play themselves in comfortably, some will play themselves out, and some will stay on the bubble all the way through the Selection Show:
Providence, Creighton, Texas, USC, Nevada, St Mary's, Syracuse, Marquette, Washington, Kansas State, UCLA, Georgia, Middle Tennessee, NC State, Louisville, Florida, Utah, Nebraska, Mississippi State, Temple, St Bonaventure, Baylor, and LSU
LONGSHOTS – These teams aren't totally out of it, but their bubble is on the verge of being popped:
South Carolina, UCF, Notre Dame, Penn State, Western Kentucky, Loyola-Chicago, and Oklahoma State
If you were keeping count, 34 teams from 8 conferences are Tourney Bound or Looking Solid. That means there are only ten bids available for teams that are Truly Bubbly or Longshots.

Midnight Madness and Inspirational Aprons!
Well, I'm behind in getting this posted! This is for last week's Midnight Madness sketch! I also was inspired by one of the pretty aprons in Saturday's Inspiration challenge. I stamped the image in red in a pattern. Then I embossed it with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. The bottom border is done with a Spellbinders Piercabilities die. I did the curve at the top of the tag with a Spellbinders Circle die. I used the rock and roll technique with Real Red and Chocolate Chip ink for the bird and the sentiment. The bird was stamped again and cut out to layer over the image. Added a pretty button and flower and lots of pretty red rhinestones to complete the card! Thanks for looking! And come back soon!
