So it turns out they were the right way round. I tried rotating them 180 and they were even worse. So, upon turning them around the original way I inserted the bulb first, then pushed on the electrical connector, as per previously suggested. Huge improvement! Previously by putting the connector on first then pushing into the holder it must not have seated properly. Also, I can fully recommend the philips xtreme vision +130% bulbs. I've always used philips upgrade bulbs but I've never used the +130% due to the price. But eurocarparts stock them for £20 (still £10 cheaper than most online bulb stockists) and a lot cheaper then when they originally came out.
many thanks for the video! very useful, I think the one thing I didn't do was put the bulb in place first then push the connector on, I did it the opposite way round, Maybe if I do it this way the bulb will be in the correct position. Thanks for the tip, but I made sure to wear gloves and give the bulb a clean with some alcohol to be safe. Will report back!
cool cheers mate! might be tomorrow night before I get a chance though, thanks for your offer! I'm probably just being a plum.
Hi, yeah that was the first thing I checked but it is set to 0 and the lights are still focussed really close to the front of the car. As I say the beam pattern is all wrong but I can't see what I'm doing wrong (probably something really daft!)
Help With Headlights Mk2.5
Steven33 posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHi guys, Very long time no speak, hope you are all doing well. I have a question to ask that I am sure you guys will be able to help with. I changed the main (dipped) bulbs in my MK2.5 focus the other night but when driving it yesterday I noticed the aim was way out (far too low). Furthermore, the focus (no pun intended) was all wrong with a very bright spot in the middle with a poor diffuse spread of light around, and no sharp cut off when aimed at a wall. I was careful to seat the new bulbs in the same orientation as the ones I took out, i.e. with the little metal tab that protrudes from the base towards the top, is this incorrect? Should that be positioned at the bottom? If someone could confirm for me it would be hugely appreciated. Also, when sliding the bulb holder back in along the guide rail I would have thought there would have been a click when seated properly, but didn't notice anything. I realise I will need to adjust the aim itself but I feel like given the poor beam pattern it is not simply that. Thanks guys Steve

What Diameter Is The Vacuum Tubing For Windscreen Wash Tubing
Steven33 replied to rocymru's topic in Ford Focus Clubi know this is pure laziness as I could go out and measure it but I was wondering this today and surprised to see it on the forum so thought I'd ask anyway, but does anyone know for sure the i.d. of the washer tubing for the mk2.5?
Light Switch Leds
Steven33 replied to Steven33's topic in Ford Focus Clubcool, thanks. a bit odd that they dont light up
Light Switch Leds
Steven33 posted a topic in Ford Focus Clubhi guys, I noticed tonight that the front and rear foglight symbols on the light switch unit do/are not lighting up but now I cant remember if they ever did or if they should (although I'd imagine they would). Would somebody mind checking the next time they are in their car and see if these should light up? Would be much appreciated! its a 59 plate focus if that makes a difference. cheers
yeah i put in random names and email addresses so I can get new qoutes based on changing my car, having additional drivers etc. it is a joke really, job description really shouldnt come into it (especially if you dont have your car insured for commuting!). the fact here we need to specify if we commute using our cars is a joke in itself). my mate who lives in germany says its much better there as you insure the car not 'yourself' therefore anyone can drive it and prices are sensible. I cant believe in this day and age the whole industry isnt regulated.
mate tell me about it. i was sitting at a red light two years ago when someone run into the back of my car. my insurance is know £40 a year more even thought it was not my fault. apparently because i was involved in an accident I am deemed to be more likely to be involved in another. complete joke, what are you meant to do, run a red light so the person behind you doesnt go into the back of you? even more annoying I enquired as to what discount i would get if i completed teh IAM course...£7 discount so you can be innocently at not to blame involved in an accident and they justified this as a £40 increase but if you have shown the aptitude and have the skills to be IAM accredited it is only worth £7 off. sigh, rant over....
Insurance And Minor Mods
Steven33 posted a topic in Car Insurance DiscussionsJust a heads up for anyone with admiral insurance, I was reading forums about how admiral can sometimes be a tad over-zealous when it comes to not paying out due to undeclared modifications on things as trivial as car mats, mudflaps etc. perhaps i was being paranoid but for my own peace of mind i just phoned them up to ask about mods i have planned namely mud flaps, sill plates and car mats (I know I would never have dreamt car mats counting as a mod but these rumours are all over other forums so thought I'd check). Anyway, car mats are fine, mud flaps/sill plates count as an exterior mod but it only cost an additional £16.20. Ok I know thats a bit of a rip off really but I think for peace of mind its worth it, knowing you are completely covered. Just thought I'd post this up for 2 reasons: 1, incase anyone has fitted mud flaps and was worried telling their insurer incase they charge you something ridiculous and 2, for anyone (like me) who didnt realise these counted as mods. btw all these parts I have to fit are genuine ford) I'd imagine the vast majority of insurers wouldn't care too much about these kind of things but admiral will charge for any little thing! I cant complain though as they usually are quite a bit cheaper than anyone else!
Ford Focus Mk2 Courtesy Light, Boot Light And Glove Box Light Upgrade
Steven33 replied to koosh34's topic in Ford Focus Clubcheers mate, i always knew that it if need be I could splice into the courtesy light loom, but my knowledge of electronics and splicing/crimping/soldering skills are non-existent! if it was a plug and play job i'd definitely give it a go though! I keep meaning to remove the light and have a peek at the wiring but keep forgetting to. My girlfriend is off for a long weekend though this weekend and I plan on giving the car a day long clean and prep for winter (including an attempt at a few stone chip repairs ) so i'll have a good investigation into what's hiding behind the roof lining.
Ford Focus Mk2 Courtesy Light, Boot Light And Glove Box Light Upgrade
Steven33 replied to koosh34's topic in Ford Focus Clubdoes anyone know if the wiring is present for the rear courtesy light and the vanity lights? i have a '59 zetec but only have the main courtesy light. Would attempt to fit the extra lights if I take my brave pills and the wiring was already there.
Petrol In A Diesel, 2007 1.8 Tdci
Steven33 replied to isx600's topic in Ford Focus ClubI'll back you up on this, as a materials chemist and an aerospace engineer (9 years at uni for 2 different degrees and a PhD) and years working in a steel treatment plant hardening metals, petrol cannot 'strip' the hardening. Hardening involved immersing the steel component in a cyanide bath until the carbon and nitrogen atoms in the salts infuse into the top few mm of the steel, it is not a separate layer, rather it changes the chemical composition of the steel itself (how deep depending on the treatment process- longer it is immersed the further into the component the carbon/nitrogen atoms will infuse). You cannot simply just take them back out again with petrol (or any solvent for that matter). Agreed it could have an effect on seals, V-power might be a good idea or some other kind of additive. Perhaps it would be a good idea to run BG44K cleaner through the system? always seems to get good reviews..
Jump Starting - A Problem Or Not
Steven33 replied to pauljoanss's topic in Ford Focus ClubI cant believe I never knew about this, would also have thought it would have mentioned something in the haynes manual. I know they all have a generic "how to jump start a car" section copied and pasted into every manual but you would have thought it would have been mentioned! maybe it is and I've just never read it because I didnt know it was bad to jump start fords

2009 LA MYTH Art Show "Super Popo"
The theme of the show is LA myths:
Meet Super Popo! You know all those thousands of poos you find on the sidewalks of Los Angeles? Yeah, the ones we think are from dogs? They are actually gifts from Super Popo, an illegal alien luchador (Mexican masked wrestler) from outer space. Those poos are his kind-hearted gifts to Angelinos for shooting their guns and sending him bullets on Cinco de Mayo.
I love LA...
* Here's a link to the gallery in case you want to buy some of the art from the show.

Twins honor Oliva's legacy at Diamond Awards
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins hosted their annual Diamond Awards on Thursday night, and the show was highlighted by Twins great Tony Oliva receiving the Herb Carneal Lifetime Achievement Award.
Hall of Famer Rod Carew was on hand to present the award to Oliva, whom he still affectionately refers to as "Roomie" after they shared a room on the road as Minnesota teammates for 10 seasons from 1967-76. The award is named after Carneal, who was the voice of the Twins from 1962-2006.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Twins hosted their annual Diamond Awards on Thursday night, and the show was highlighted by Twins great Tony Oliva receiving the Herb Carneal Lifetime Achievement Award.
Hall of Famer Rod Carew was on hand to present the award to Oliva, whom he still affectionately refers to as "Roomie" after they shared a room on the road as Minnesota teammates for 10 seasons from 1967-76. The award is named after Carneal, who was the voice of the Twins from 1962-2006.
"I want to thank the baseball writers and the Twins organization for allowing me to bestow this award, because I don't know if you could find a nicer person in the world," Carew said of Oliva. "He always has a smile on his face and has nice things to say about people. If you can find someone in this area that has one bad thing to say about Tony Oliva, I'd like to find them, because that's the type of individual he is. He's very loving and very caring."
Oliva, 75, played 15 big league seasons -- all with the Twins -- hitting .304/.353/.476 with 220 home runs, 329 doubles, 947 RBIs, 870 runs and 86 stolen bases in 1,676 games. He was also the American League batting champion in each of his first two full seasons in 1964 and '65, and was an All-Star for eight straight years. He also won the AL Rookie of the Year Award in '64 and finished in the top five in AL Most Valuable Player balloting in '64, '65 and '70.
But Oliva is just as remembered for his work off the field, serving the organization in a number of roles, such as coaching, broadcasting and as an ambassador for the Twins and Major League Baseball.
"I love what I do," Oliva said. "When they told me I was going to receive the Herb Carneal Award, it was something that really hit me, because I had the opportunity to meet Herb in person, and he was one of the best baseball announcers. But for me, I think people in this part of the country think of him as a Hall of Famer, and he was nothing but a gentleman."
Oliva's award was just one highlight of another successful Diamond Awards, with winners based on voting conducted by the Twin Cities Chapter of the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Several Twins were on hand for the ceremony, including Joe Mauer, Glen Perkins, Brian Dozier, Pedro Florimon, Caleb Thielbar, Andrew Albers and recent signees Ricky Nolasco and Phil Hughes.
Mauer was named the Twins MVP for the third time in five years, receiving the Calvin R. Griffith Award, and also presented Perkins with the Carl R. Pohlad Community Service Award. Perkins also received the Joseph W. Haynes Award for Pitcher of the Year.
Dozier took him two awards, receiving the Charles O. Johnson Award for Most Improved Player and the Mike Augustin "Media Good Guy" Award.
Thielbar was named the winner of the Bill Boni Award given to the Most Outstanding Rookie, while Florimon was the second recipient of the Jim Kaat Award for Defensive Player of the Year.
Former Twins first baseman Justin Morneau was named the winner of the Bob Allison Award, given to the player who exemplifies determination, hustle, tenacity, competitive spirit and leadership both on and off the field. Morneau, who signed with the Rockies this offseason as a free agent, taped an acceptance speech.
Like Morneau, Nationals right-hander Jordan Zimmermann wasn't on hand to receive the Dick Siebert Award given to the Upper Midwest Player of the Year. Zimmermann, who grew up in Auburndale, Wis., had a 3.25 ERA in 32 starts for Washington last season.
Albers, who is close to officially joining the Hanwha Eagles of the Korean Baseball Organization, was there to receive the Jim Rantz Award for Minor League Pitcher of the Year.
Byron Buxton, who was named baseball's top prospect by MLB.com on Thursday, was also on hand to receive the Sherry Robertson Award for Minor League Player of the Year.
Twins manager Ron Gardenhire helped introduce former Twins skipper Frank Quilici, who received the Kirby Puckett Alumni Community Service Award. Steve Winfield, the brother of Hall of Famer Dave Winfield, received the Terry Ryan Friend of the Game Award for his efforts in coaching youth baseball.
All proceeds from the sold-out event benefitted the University of Minnesota's innovative research and patient care, focused on ataxia, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and Lou Gehrig's disease (ALS).
The event, which was held for a ninth time, has raised $4 million since its inception, and Oliva said he couldn't be any prouder to be a part of the Twins organization.
"It was a privilege to play for the Minnesota Twins, and it's privilege to work for the Minnesota Twins and live in Minnesota because people in Minnesota care," Oliva said. "I've been in Minnesota for 52 years, almost 53, and this is my family. For me, Minnesota is my family."

NILES, Ill., March 19, 2013—Columbus, Ohio, celebrated its 200th birthday with the unveiling of the Columbus Bicentennial Pavilion—a state-of-the art outdoor amphitheater, located in the city's vibrant nine-acre Columbus Commons park, that's programmed from May through September with concerts, family events, movies, and performances. The venue, outfitted with Shure UHF-R® Wireless Microphone Systems for uncompromised sound and ability to respond to unpredictable RF conditions, has hosted concerts featuring American singer and songwriter Michael McDonald, Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Offspring, Josh Kelley, Tonic, and Peabo Bryson.
"The venue brings the entire central Ohio community to the heart of the city for live concerts and entertainment all summer long," said Nick Sico, production manager at Columbus Commons. "Nothing beats the adrenaline and the exhilaration of watching an amazing live performance in a beautiful outdoor space. For that reason, top-of-the-line gear was a requirement. Between the quality and dependability, Shure UHF-R Wireless Systems, combined with SM and Beta microphones, have helped us bring the people of Columbus great entertainment."
Before the facility's public debut, Columbus' Live Technologies, a national and regional supplier of pro audio, lighting, staging, and video, was presented with the challenge of ensuring the venue's acoustics were equally as impressive as its aesthetics. With the wide variety of events—from rock shows to symphonies and theatrical performances—and outdoor environmental conditions, Live Technologies' audio experts selected six channels of UHF-R for precise audio delivery. The stage is also outfitted with SM58®, SM57, and SM81 microphones.
"After carefully reviewing the special needs of an outdoor amphitheater of this scale, it was decided that UHF-R—designed for high pressure situations and extreme conditions, while also flexible and intuitive for a variety of use cases—was the ideal tool for delivering the highest quality sound," said Rusty Ranney, CEO of Live Technologies. "With 2,400 selectable frequencies across an ultra-wide 60MHz bandwidth, the Columbus Bicentennial Pavilion is ready to respond to changing or unpredictable RF conditions without audio degradation or interference."
Considered the "crowning glory" of the city, the amphitheater makes Columbus a bona fide draw for national acts and outdoor performances. The 40-foot by 60-foot stage with high-performance lighting and video equipment, paired with Shure audio technologies, has created an impressive home for community events and the arts to thrive in Columbus.

The most common type of chairs are sofa table with chairs. Almost every home has at least a upholstered side chair, and they are mainly found in the living room in linen wingback chair. There are also smaller version that can be found in bedrooms. Some variants of these are wooden chairs with arms, rattan arm chairs, leather slipper chair or antique wingback chair, but they all look pretty similar. The second most common type of reclining chaise lounge chair are small lounge chair. You find them surrounding your dining room table.

This study examined the dreams of 34 women, (17 who had been diagnosed with breast cancer and 17 who had not) and the meaning of their dreams via dream interpretation. Results were compared between those with breast cancer and those without. As expected, the women with breast cancer had dream imagery that specifically reflected their waking day experiences in relevant ways. Furthermore, the significant difference between the two groups provides support for the continuity hypothesis of dreaming. The women with breast cancer had significantly more medical figures, torso imagery, pain, disease reference, and death imagery in their dreams. When examining the meaning of the dreams with dream interpretation, the women with breast cancer had meaning pertinent to their waking life such as insight about their disease, medical events and figures, fear, and death. The women without breast cancer interpreted their dream imagery mainly to be about their romantic relationships, future, stress, family, and friends. This research illustrates that dream imagery is specific and relevant for women with and without breast cancer, and furthermore, that they make meaning of their dream imagery in beneficial ways. Implications and future directions are discussed in relation to dream imagery, interpretation of imagery, and breast cancer.

Two of the three sets were close
The Taft varsity volleyball team's joy of winning Tuesday's home match was temporary after they were defeated by the Bakersfield Christian Eagles 25-21, 25-21, 25-12 in Bakersfield Thursday evening.
Taft got off to a fast start by scoring the first two points of the opening sets. Bakersfield Christian bounced back with three unanswered points to take the lead. After Taft tied the score, Bakersfield Christian took off with a 4-1 run. The set remained close until the Lady Eagles went on a 5-1 run.
The Lady Wildcats bounced back to tie the score at 16. Taft and Bakersfield Christian went on to tie each other three times before the Lady Eagles scored the final four points to win the set.
Bakersfield Christian got off to a roaring start in the second set by outscoring Taft 6-1. The Lady Wildcats narrowed the deficit to four but the Lady Eagles went on a 4-1 run.
Taft countered by getting within three at 11-8 but Bakersfield Christian maintained the small lead the rest of the way.
Like the second set, the final set was close early. However, it was the Lady Wildcats that had the advantage by jumping out to a 7-3 lead. Taft held a 9-5 advantage before Bakersfield Christian went on a 20-3 run to close out the set and match.

1. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(Q_Photo) Jan 27, 2009 2:59 AM (in response to whoos1)While I'm not a fan of jumping thru the rebate hoop, I will say that Staples is very good concerning rebates. I've gotten rebates at least a half dozen times from them and always for the full amount and in a reasonable amount of time.
I believe that is a very good printer. My R1800 is still going strong and gives great prints.
2. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(john_passaneau) Jan 27, 2009 3:47 PM (in response to (Q_Photo))Thanks for the tip! I was thinking about a new printer and the R1900 was
on my short list. But that price is too good to pass up so I will be
picking mine up at the Staples store tomorrow.
I sure hope it's as good as the reviews. After I had a custom profile
made for my Epson R200 I have been getting very good prints. This
printer should do much better. (fingers crossed)
John Passaneau
3. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 27, 2009 6:03 PM (in response to whoos1)What problems has anyone who owns an R 1900 experienced?
Numerous reviews mention various ink problems including the too-small cartridges; a huge appetite for ink; and cartridges drying up before they are empty.
Is the R1900 still worthwhile or is it being sold off to clear the way for a newer model with larger ink cartridges?
And if not the R1900, has anyone a better recommendation?
4. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(Q_Photo) Jan 28, 2009 3:32 AM (in response to whoos1)Ann,
Sorry I can't answer about the R1900 as I'm still using an R1800. However, there are a few facts that I'm aware of.
1. The newer printer uses MOST of the same color cartridges as the older R1800.
2. The R1900 has only been out for about a year or so. Usually Epson has a much longer run of their models. That being said, it does seem like a big discount which indicates a newer model soon.
3. I never had a cartridge dry out.
4. Cartridges are pretty small. This has been a good thing for me because my work has dropped off recently and I would hate to replace a dried out $80.00 cartridge. This is a rough estimate but I would guess that I can get a little over forty-five 8x10's from a set of inks. Inks list for $14.00 each but can be purchased for around $12.00.
Now that I've reread this I realize that it's not very informative. Sorry about that but only trying to help. I will repeat that I'm 100% satisfied with my R1800. Years ago I purchased my first Epson photo printer. After about three weeks I decided that I was not happy with it. They let me exchange it for the 1200 which was just then coming out. I thought that was rather good of Epson.
For the price, I would get the R1900.
5. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 28, 2009 8:02 AM (in response to whoos1)Seems like a good recommendation and the Printer is only the price of 3 sets of ink!
6. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAllen Wicks Jan 28, 2009 10:09 PM (in response to whoos1)>Is the R1900 still worthwhile
>...or is it being sold off to clear the way for a newer model with larger ink cartridges?
Probably. But I seriously doubt if actual print quality can improve all that much.
As to cartridge life, I live at 6000 ft. elevation, super-low humidity. The Epson 12xx printers were problematic but the 2200 and now the 3800 have had zero issues with ink longevity. The 3800 cartridges are quite large.
If I needed a 13" wide printer I would buy the R1900 in a heartbeat.
7. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyWade S Zimmerman Jan 29, 2009 1:38 PM (in response to whoos1)I will chime in here since someone is spending money, it is about as far away form post script than any other inkjet I know of that is it will not print line or vector art well from illustrator and sending the file to Arcobat will give you little help.
You can print photos and it seems to do this very well you will like the color.
Text looks good. So if you only use Photos or Photos and Text, that is not outlined, then you have a good deal. Otherwise like me you will be returning it.
B&N sells it for $474.00 plus you get the $150 rebate and if you buy it with a digital camera you get yet another $100 rebate. That last one you will have to hurry as the deadline is Jan 31.
The reason I say B&H which will come out about the same price since they will not charge sales tax like staples is that they will take it back within 15 days if you are unhappy with it.
They did not seem surprised I returned it.
So Buyer Beware.
8. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 29, 2009 5:08 PM (in response to whoos1)The Staples "Deal" is similar:
Price: $549.99
"Instant savings" (meaning Discount at time of purchase): $100.00
"Rebate": $150
(This is NOT cash, nor is it credited back to your credit card, but is a credit against future purchases. You have to send in for your Rebate and it only applies to purchases made between 01-23-2009 through 03-28-2009.)
However Staple's offer expires on 01/31/09 and Staples is now OUT OF STOCK of the R1900.

9. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(john_passaneau) Jan 30, 2009 7:56 AM (in response to Ann Shelbourne)Ann:
The rebate is a Visa prepaid card. You can use it any were you could use
a Visa check card. I would have liked cash in some quick manner but this
is OK.
I had trouble getting mine as they held up the order to call and check
with me about a credit card problem. The problem was I had a different
shipping address than my billing address. I was having it shipped to my
local store to get the free shipping. It was annoying that no one at
Staples could see the stupidity of that! When you go to the store to
pick it up you are asked to show picture ID and have a copy of the email
that was sent confirming the order. But calling me and asking if I
really wanted to ship to a different address was still required, go figger!
Anyway my printer is in for pickup this afternoon at the store. If I
have any problems I'll report to the forum.

10. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 30, 2009 8:29 AM (in response to whoos1)I think that you will be delighted with it, John.
I managed to get in under the wire too and Staples actually delivered it to the house for free (via UPS) yesterday evening.
I printed this test file:
using the advanced Premium ICC Profiles which you need to download from:
and the first test print was spot-on! Beautiful quality and a wonderful printer for photographs.
I do still have my Epson 1270 for PDF, InDesign and Illustrator output and it uses much less and cheaper inks.
I also downloaded the latest Driver for the R1900 from Epson UK.
R1900 Drivers
Epson USA never seems to have the newest drivers for some unfathomable reason.
Downloading the ones from the UK solves the problem many people had with getting dark prints when printing to Epsons from CS4.
Oh, do register IMMEDIATELY with Epson because there is a 10% discount offer on your first purchase and the offer is about to end! Good opportunity to stock-up on ink!
11. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(Q_Photo) Jan 30, 2009 9:54 AM (in response to whoos1)Ann & John,
I hope both of you are happy with the R1900.
I'm a little envious. But not maliciously so...
12. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 30, 2009 10:01 AM (in response to whoos1)Q:
I am thrilled with it at the moment but I am not so sure that I will be so thrilled with its reported appetite for ink particularly as the temptation is now to want to print every shot at full size!
13. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(Q_Photo) Jan 30, 2009 12:22 PM (in response to whoos1)Ann,
When printing photos, on my R1800, there are two settings. They are called "Photo" and "Best Photo" The "Best " setting prints at a much higher dpi and therefore uses a lot more ink. I honestly believe this to be overkill. I simply always just use the "Photo" setting. I see no difference unless checking with a magnifying glass.
Just my opnion...
14. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 30, 2009 12:40 PM (in response to whoos1)I think that you get much smoother gradations of tone and color on the "Best" setting.
This becomes more apparent in smooth tones, out-of-focus or blurred areas. It is also true on the Epson 1270. However, if I am printing a long run of something (like my Christmas cards), I am afraid that they get the 720 dpi treatment.
The R1900 lets you print at one level better than "Best" if you want to: to "Photo RPM" (which they recommend for printing on Canvas) but I haven't tried it yet.
15. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(Q_Photo) Jan 30, 2009 12:53 PM (in response to whoos1)Ann,
I know we're comparing apples and pears with R1800 & R1900. However, on my printer "Photo" = 1440dpi. "Photo Best" = 2880dpi. I think Best setting on 1270 (I had one) was 1440 and second best was 720.
You are seeing the results of your printing so I certainly can't argue with you. Nor, would I want to. Smiley goes here...
16. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 30, 2009 4:34 PM (in response to whoos1)I can't find any official figures for the R1900 but Maximum Resolution (dots per inch) is being quoted as:
"5760 x 1440 optimized dpi" (which I am guessing is what is deployed for "Photo RPM".
That would probably mean that Photo Best is "2800 x 1440 optimized dpi" and
Photo is "1400 x 1440 optimized dpi".
You are right about the Epson 1270: the two Photo settings are 1440 and 720 with a 360 choice for quick and dirty proofing on plain paper (which I have never used because I am still running a REALLY ancient HP 1200C/PS for that sort of thing.
(It must be nearly 20 years old but I just can't bear to throw out equipment that still works!)
17. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy<shep> Jan 30, 2009 4:40 PM (in response to whoos1)Speakin' of which, Ann, if/when you get a chance, could you pop me an email at: rsts REMOVE @ REMOVE sheppardandstaff DOT com . I have something for you, if you're interested.
18. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 30, 2009 5:14 PM (in response to whoos1)Sure! It's on its way
19. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(john_passaneau) Jan 30, 2009 5:55 PM (in response to Ann Shelbourne)Well I got my R1900 this afternoon, hooked it up, loaded the drivers and
the first print (thanks for the link to the test print and the latest
drivers Ann)ran my first print and the color, sharpness and brightness
was spot on. But (there is often a "BUT") it's putting a number of what
looks to be scratches about a 1/10 inch apart the length of the short
side of the paper on the end that comes out of the printer last. It
messes up the last 1" to 2" of the print. I tried every printing paper I
have and all the feed paths and they are still there. So I called Epson
(Nice, they are on the left coast and were still open) and talked to a
tech. After describing the problem he said "Oh my, there is nothing you
can do about that! I will send you a new printer Monday by over night
express" Good service, but I hate to have to wait. I should get the new
one Tuesday. I asked him if I could keep the Ink I put in the old
machine. He said, sure but don't use them as the first carts in the new
printer as charging the head takes 1/3 of the first carts and if a cart
run out of ink while charging the new heads, you have to start over
again and lose another 1/3 of the next set of carts you use. He
suggested that I just keep the old carts and use them up as the new set
runs out. As they seal themselves when you remove them from the printer
it's safe to just store them in a zip lock bag.
I hope that is of some interest to everyone.
John Passaneau
PS I do have to return the old one.
20. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 30, 2009 6:25 PM (in response to whoos1)What great service! And isn't it nice when a company behaves like that?
I have obviously been lucky no scratches on my prints.
Check the Manual concerning storage of removed inks because you need to store them spouts-down as well as keeping them in Ziplocks.
Meanwhile, perhaps you could carry on printing until Tuesday by making square pictures that just occupy the first 8.5" of the sheet?
21. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyNick Decker Jan 31, 2009 5:00 AM (in response to whoos1)John, sounds like the "pizza wheel" issue that I've occasionally heard about with some Epson printers. I've never had the problem with any of the Epsons that I've owned, but I think it has something to do with the rollers in the paper path being assembled incorrectly at the factory.
Glad to hear that Epson is taking care of you.
22. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 31, 2009 9:44 AM (in response to whoos1)One thing that I forgot to mention: I am printing 16-bit ProPhoto RGB images through Photoshop CS4 (with Photoshop managing colors using the Epson Premium profiles) and the smoothness of tones, lack of banding and incredible image detail in the results are outstanding.
Unfortunately it is only CS4 on a Mac that lets you print at 16 bits that technology is not available to Windows-users at this time but if you have CS4 on a Mac, do try printing ProPhoto RGB with 16-bits.
23. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buywhoos1 Jan 31, 2009 9:53 AM (in response to whoos1)I also received the R1900 very quickly and so far am very happy with it. I went back to Staples site today and it says they are now out of stock. Staples is also a good place to order ink. Orders over $50 are delivered next day and free. Epson Store also has free shipping and next day service for orders over $35 (I think). My ink purchases over the last 4 years have probably helped keep Staples afloat! (kidding)
24. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyshoot me now-d3u3se Jan 31, 2009 1:06 PM (in response to whoos1)http://www.atlex.com/epson-stylus-inkjet-printer/photo_r1900_printer_paper_ink.htm
I used to buy all my ink and paper here. I don't know how prices compare lately but it might be worth checking out.
25. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 31, 2009 1:31 PM (in response to whoos1)Nice, Ho! VERY nice!
I will definitely be ordering from Atlex from now on too.
26. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buy(Donald_Reese) Jan 31, 2009 4:00 PM (in response to whoos1)I always use atlex,and never had any troubles, plus they ship from more than one locale. They did say epson was raising ink prices feb 1st i think.
27. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Jan 31, 2009 4:09 PM (in response to whoos1)Then I got in "under the wire" on that one too because I already have extra ink on its way from Epson under their "first order discount" scheme.
But after that, it will be coming from Atlex
28. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyNick Decker Jan 31, 2009 6:11 PM (in response to whoos1)Atlex is good. I've been using them for years. I recently needed ink for my 3800 and buy.com was a bit cheaper, but it took forever to get the ink. Not good when you need it within a reasonable amount of time.
29. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Feb 1, 2009 4:44 PM (in response to whoos1)A few posts ago Wade mentioned that one could not print Vector objects or Illustrator files on the R1900.
I have now had time to test this and I find that you can indeed print perfectly smooth and crisp Vectors and gradients out of both Illustrator and Photoshop CS4 on this printer.
When printing from Photoshop, you just need to make sure that "Include Vector Data" is checked in the Print/Output panel.
I assume that the same will hold true for both InDesign and Acrobat but have not tested printing from them as yet.
30. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyWade S Zimmerman Feb 1, 2009 9:10 PM (in response to whoos1)I was not able to print form illustrator smoothly and I do not believe there is include vector data in the Illustrator Print dialogue check your print again that yo made fro Illustrator unless you brought it into Photohop to print it.
I do not believe it will print well in Illustrator unless the drivers you downloaded from the UK are responsible for this. If the other people say it works form Illustrator I will get the printer back B&H I am certain they will be pleased.
BTW this printer solves the problem as I wrote for Color problems what you see on your screen will be the color your print will be you will not have red, magenta or green problems
and the prints are beautiful. Gray is gray!
Enjoy your printer they say Red and Cyan are the two most delicious colors for the printer so they will eat them.
When I thought about it I as kind of sorry because I do not general print from Illustrator and certainly with the output fro the bridge for contact sheets or from Lightroom I probably do not need illustrator for that as well.
And since most of what I would do with Illustrator would go to press or web or video.
The price is right at B&H. For me it actually comes out a little cheaper from B&H.
However I might buy a 17 inch wide printer you should all check out printing a black and white image. They say it is not the best at doing that but then they were trying to sell the 2880 which is more expensive but also has a $150.00 rebate.
But checkout the Black and White capabilities. Good Luck.
31. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Feb 1, 2009 10:31 PM (in response to whoos1)Wade:
I printed directly out of Illustrator CS4. I did Save with PDF capability checked (but I always do) and in the Effects menu, I set Raster settings at 300 ppi. The vectors are dead smooth even diagonals under a 10x loupe.
It could well be due to the UK drivers.
In Photoshop CS4, there is that "Include Vector Data" box and, with that checked, both Type and Vector shapes are printing smoothly too.
The Premium ICC Profiles have been very well done and the prints are matching the "Soft Proof" screen preview. As you say, the colors are absolutely luscious I have become addicted to this thing and have been printing almost non-stop most of the weekend.
"Neutrals" are very clean.
I have only printed one B/W so far the one that was part of the test print which I mentioned in an earlier post together with the black and white steps and gradients that are also on the Test Print. As you said, "Pure Grays" no color casts in them at all.
Epson would actually like to encourage us to buy BOTH the R1900 AND the 2800 of course one for color and the other for B/W!
If you can "borrow" the R1900 back from B&H again to give it a second look, you might want to keep it after all.
32. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyWade S Zimmerman Feb 2, 2009 12:43 AM (in response to whoos1)I said it was a excellent printer for color photographic prints. i suspect the drivers.
I'll try again and thanks for the info.
The Gray is Gray is an important issue.
33. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyWade S Zimmerman Feb 2, 2009 3:20 PM (in response to whoos1)Doesn't print well from Illustrator I figured but I can place in Photoshop and get a very good print.
Print photos very well. And the export to photoshop is very good This include Vector Art is an elusive option as well.
Even if it eats ink like all the others it is more economical because you send the image to the printer and you get a excellent print the first time.
But it does not print well in Illustrator as many other users have noted.
34. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Feb 2, 2009 4:20 PM (in response to whoos1)What Document Raster Effects Setting have you set in Illustrator?
I only have tried it with 300 ppi Resolution and even that was fine and you could set it at higher than that if you wanted to. I was printing an RGB file too and I don't know if that would affect the results.
And your Transparency Flattener Presets?
I was using "High" with Text Resolution at 1200 ppi and Vector balance = 100
Have you tried printing an Illustrator file through InDesign? I haven't tested an InDesign file yet.
I just can't tear myself away from printing photographs and am thrilled with the consistent high quality of the prints spot-on every time!
35. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyWade S Zimmerman Feb 2, 2009 4:40 PM (in response to whoos1)No that is not the problem! I know the problem it is Illustrator and Epson and Intel that is the problem.
ID prints out very well. But there to the pen tool i not quite 100%.
I guess I can try running Illustrator under Rosetta and see if it works. OOps.
36. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Feb 2, 2009 4:48 PM (in response to whoos1)Ahh Intel. And maybe Leopard?
That's probably the difference because I am running a non-Intel G5 on OSX 10.4.11.
Perhaps Epson still haven't fixed their drivers properly for Leopard?
37. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyWade S Zimmerman Feb 2, 2009 5:27 PM (in response to whoos1)10.4.11 and actually Epson Drivers are really native to OS 9 I understand. they have been fudging them rather then redo>
I'll bring Illustrator art into photoshop and raster there if I need to print.
I am going to guess they took the easy way out and waited until they could not longer rely on the old way and that would be Snow Leopard.
Thanks for the advice and help.
38. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyAnn Shelbourne Feb 2, 2009 6:05 PM (in response to whoos1)Glad that I could help.
I think that we owe David Cornwell a huge "Thank you" for alerting us to the R1900 offer in the first place!
39. Re: Epson Stylus R1900 special buyWade S Zimmerman Feb 2, 2009 6:34 PM (in response to whoos1)Thank you David.
For those who wish to send out DVDs, BluRays and CD with either data or media this printer does the best I have seen from Epson.
Comes out right the first time like the prints.
Finally what you see on the screen is what you see on your prints. if you have an Intel and work with Illustrator or vectors bring a copy into into Photoshop and raster and print.

Lennar, KB Home, Pulte Surge 5% Even as RBC Cuts Targets
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
It's fair to say that tapering talk has not been kind to homebuilders.
The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF (XHB) has dropped 10.5% during the past three months, or about when all the talk about an end to the Fed's bond buying really picked up, compared to a 2.7% return for the S&P 500.
And the headwinds for the housing sector could be getting worse, according to an RBC report. Analysts Robert Wetenhall and Desi DiPierro cut their forecast for housing starts to 925,000 in 2013, down from 950,000, and took the knives to their price targets for the sector. They write:
We are cutting estimates and price targets for homebuilder stocks to reflect concerns about slower order growth and lower valuations. The downward revision to our estimates reflects our view that the pace of the housing recovery will moderate in the absence of faster economic growth and historically cheap mortgage financing. We expect that order growth for the public homebuilders will generally be consistent with the broader housing market which points to an increase of 14% instead of our prior forecast of 26% in 2014 and 10% instead of 17% in 2015. A high degree of seasonality and rising interest rates also means that valuations will most likely remain under pressure with little chance of multiple expansion in the near-term.
Their favorites in the sector include Lennar (LEN), which had its price target cut to $36 from $41, KB Home (KBH), which had its target cut to $20 from $25, and PulteGroup (PHM), which had its target cut to $20 from $26. Toll Brothers (TOL)'s target got the biggest haircut, from $41 to $29.
Investors are having none of it, however. Lennar has gained 5% to $33.24 today, KB Home has jumped 5.5% to $17.23, Pulte has climbed 5.5% to $15.94 and Toll Brothers has advanced 3.7% to $32.42.

Hugo Mattingley was a Ravenclaw student at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the 1990s. He was usually seen spending time in the Transfiguration Courtyard during the 1996–1997 school year. He was a fan of Gilderoy Lockhart. Unlike most people who think that Slughorn is a stakeholder, Trevor thinks that he is a good teacher. One day he was duelling and beat him. The blow was so powerful that he needed two days recovering in the Hospital Wing. Would like Hagrid's work. He wanted a new broom.

Fin! C'est tout. Yes, the season is over. We never got the last run that might have come on Monday or Tuesday if the temperatures had been warmer and wind hadn't been so cold. So the buckets are 3/4 down and the rest will be down tomorrow. Overall it was a good season for us. We had the best year ever for Light Amber production and made lots of syrup throughout the season.
Hours Saturday April 6th 10 am to 2 pm
We've signed up to attend the Newburyport Farmers Market again this year every other week and their new season starts Sunday April 14th. It's a very nice market and runs Sunday mornings from 9am thru 1pm.
Many thanks to all of you who make it possible for us to share our love of making maple syrup with you. We are always thrilled to share our knowledge and encourage folks to give it a try. And of course who can complain about the finished product! Syrup, cream and candy to savor whether on pancakes and waffles or just to satisfy the sweet tooth when the need arises.
Best wishes 'til we se you next year (or maybe sooner)
Sue and Brian

Featured authors
The Sonoma County Library Community project has two aims. Firstly, it is a platform to publicize authors with connections to Sonoma County and to make their works more visible online and in the catalog. Secondly, there has been growing interest from local authors in having the library host their e-books and to make them broadly available to the library community. Read more ...
On a practical level we hope to provide:
- Accurate author profiles with links to the library catalog, personal websites and external services.
- A growing collection of ebooks created by local authors and distributed by the Library, freely available for anyone to download without DRM.
Sonoma County Literary Update
The Literary Update is a compilation of announcements sent in by members of the Sonoma County literary community regarding workshops, readings, ongoing literary and writing groups, calls for submissions, and contests. The Sonoma County Literary Update is co-edited by Jo-Anne Rosen and Terry Ehret.

I have tinkered with the game over the weekend, and i have mostly figured out how to add some of the other ships in the game to the station store. This does not work for all ships, i have only tested the Tutorial ship, and a Trilaxian medium ship. But the process should work for most ships that you see flying around.
Modify gamefiles at your own risk.
When the game updates, be prepared for the posiblity that edited files to be overwritten
Step 1: Locate a suitable ship
Most ships are located in the following folder:
Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\Templates\Ships
And a mapfile and ususally an image of the ship will be located here:
Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\Templates\Maps
For the sake of this tutorial, we will take a look at the Trilaxian medium ship.
Please note that this ship has two variations, we will use number two. so the files to look out for are:
Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\Templates\Ships\TrilaxMedium2.xml"
Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\Templates\Maps\TrilaxMedium2.xml
Step 2: Add your ship to the list of buyable ships
Locate this file: Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\LuaScripts\Trade\BuyableShip.lua
Open the file in your favourite text editor, it should look something like this:
Copy one of the buyable ship blocks, paste it at the bottom of the file and modify it so it looks something like this:
Code: Select all
require 'Base/Base.lua'
BuyableShipDefaults = {
BuyableShip = Define(BuyableShip, {
ExteriorImage = "string", --The Exterior Hull image of the ship
InteriorImage = "string", --The Interior Image of the ship
ShipName = "string", --The original name of the ship
ShipMap = "string", --The map template of the ship
ShipCost = "number", --The cost of purchasing said ship
}, BuyableShipDefaults, "Type")
Type = "Nebulus",
ExteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/Nebulus",
InteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/Internal Hulls/nebulus_internal",
ShipName = "TechnoSpec Nebulus GX-1",
ShipMap = "Templates/Ships/PurchaseShip1",
ShipCost = 6400,
Type = "Galaxa",
ExteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/Galaxa",
InteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/Internal Hulls/galaxa_internal",
ShipName = "CON-SOLAR Galaxa",
ShipMap = "Templates/Ships/PurchaseShip3",
ShipCost = 6400,
Type = "Korsu",
ExteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/Korsu_3x",
InteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/Internal Hulls/korsu_internal",
ShipName = "Menicorp Korsu T-779",
ShipMap = "Templates/Ships/PurchaseShip2",
ShipCost = 6400,
The edits we did above where the following:
Code: Select all
Type = "TrilaxMedium",
ExteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/trilax_medium_4x",
InteriorImage = "Visuals/Sprites/Ships/Internal Hulls/korsu_internal",
ShipName = "Trilaxian Medium",
ShipMap = "Templates/Ships/TrilaxMedium2",
ShipCost = 500,
Created a new type of buyable ship, remember this for later, because we will tell the shop to stock this ship.
Set an exterior image, this is the image you see when zooming all the way out, and in the shop
Set an interrior image, this is the image you see in the shop when clicking the button to see the interior (i just used the korsu one)
Set the name of the ship as it will be written in the store
Set the map for the ship, this is very important, as it tells the game what ship layout to use
Set the cost of the ship, no need for explanation on that one i hope.
3 Add your ship to the store!
Locate the merchant file: "Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\LuaScripts\Merchants\HumanShipDealer.lua"
It should look like this:
Simply change ships for sale to include your ship "TrilaxMedium" ShipsForSale = { "Galaxa", "Nebulus", "Korsu", "Trilaxmedium" }
Code: Select all
require 'Base/MerchantBase.lua'
Type = "HumanShipDealer",
Name = "Ship Dealer",
ShopkeeperTemplate = "Templates/Characters/Merchants/HumanShipDealer",
ShowroomTemplate = "Templates/Maps/store_footprint_small",
WillPurchase = {},
ForSale = {},
ShipsForSale = { "Galaxa", "Nebulus", "Korsu" },
The result should look like this:
Step 4, Copy the ship image
Code: Select all
require 'Base/MerchantBase.lua'
Type = "HumanShipDealer",
Name = "Ship Dealer",
ShopkeeperTemplate = "Templates/Characters/Merchants/HumanShipDealer",
ShowroomTemplate = "Templates/Maps/store_footprint_small",
WillPurchase = {},
ForSale = {},
ShipsForSale = { "Galaxa", "Nebulus", "Korsu" , "TrilaxMedium"},
In order for the game not to lockup when you buy the ship, copy the trilax UI image from:
"Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\Visuals\Sprites\UI\OrbitUI\Ships\Trilax\TrilaxMediumShip.png"
And paste it into: "Star Command Galaxies\StarCommandGalaxies_Data\StreamingAssets\Visuals\Sprites\UI\OrbitUI\Ships\Human\"
There is probably a cleaner way to do this bit, but i found this to be a quick fix.
Step 5 Buy the ship!
Once all the steps above are done, and files saved/copied etc. Then all you need to do is go to the Store in "The Center of the universe" (the first station), speak with the ship trader, and exchange 500 credits for a shiny big ship.
If it does not work then one of the following has likely occured:
1) The game has patched and my method does not work.
2) There is a typo in the guide, i am sorry.
3) You forgot to copy a file, edit another or did not save one or more files.
4) ?????
At this point you can try to follow my approach to add other ships to the store, or even being brave enough to edit one of the mapfiles so you can change the items on the ship.
I guess that is it, Good luck! Fly safe!
(And please excuse my non native English)

The Physicians Formula Shimmer Strips Gel Eyeliners had me intrigued immediately; they come in a standard collection and a 'glam' collection. The glam collection is metallic. The standard is not. They last 24 hours and are supposed to be water resistant. Physicians Formula is a drugstore brand I believe.
These are blocks of gel liners that come in 3 colours and they stack one of top of the other. The shimmer strips ranges are made to compliment different eye colours (Brown, green, blue, hazel) although of course you don't have to follow the rules!
I chose the stack for green eyes:
I found myself drawn to the Green Eyes collection the most!
The packaging is interesting and shows you how it'll look:
Matching green liner with green eyes? A bit odd perhaps, but it does look pretty. Also I like how it counts green liner as the 'natural' option!
You push these on top of each other not screw, so for me, I'd be a bit concerned about them coming apart on a long journey (ie. on a plane flight where they chuck your bags around!). The packaging is somewhat cheap and plastic – I'd prefer them in glass pots but then I guess they wouldn't be stackable.
There's a bog standard brush that comes with it. I never use these and they always get lost!
It looks like a blue in the pot but swatches as purple.
Texture wise, it's like a soft cream. It's not as buttery soft as the best gel liners to be honest, it's more firm than Bobbi Brown. It is pigmented but not perfectly opaque in that, I needed 2 strokes for the colour to cover up evenly – I don't need to do this with most of my other gel liners.
These gel liners set after a few minutes then last quite well but they're not bulletproof. I don't know why it says 24 hour wear – you wish. We're talking about 4-5 on me before it starts to flake off but I do have watery eyes. Japanese gel liners are more bulletproof then these I have to say but it depends if you want that.
These gel liners remind me of those cheapy ones you can buy from eBay – they're not the best at anything (durability, pigmentation, texture) but they do the job and they're affordable and come in fun colours. It's a really good way to own a few shades without breaking the bank and to be honest, you shouldn't need to spend loads of gel liners – they just dry out in a few months anyway.
See how the colours are there but not quite 'amazing'? Natural is a moss green, playful is a aubergine and dramatic is a black.
I may get another one of these again if I ever visit the states – probably a set from the metallic collection.
What do you think of these?

Unexpected Ingredient in IBM Data Storage: North Korean Gold
As noted yesterday, the first round of so-called conflict mineral audits by U.S. listed companies resulted in plenty of ambiguous statements, thanks in part to a court ruling that overturned an important part of the disclosure requirements.
A federal court declared that requiring companies to list their products as either "conflict free" or not was tantamount to forcing them to criticize themselves, a violation of First Amendment free speech protections. Instead, the companies were given flexibility to describe the outcomes of their supply chain investigations in their own words, and many did just that, saying they were unable to give definitive answers.
But the investigations of corporate supply chains required by the audits did uncover problematic use of a precious metal whose origin is far from conflict-ridden Central Africa, but still subject to U.S. sanctions. More on this after the jump…

This entry was first posted as one of a series of posts by PLOS Network bloggers on Reuters.com.
Despite widespread knowledge of how the AIDS-causing virus HIV is transmitted, and how to prevent it, the disease is still spreading. An estimated 34 million people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS in 2010, according to the World Health Organization. Sub-Saharan Africa is the worldwide epicenter, with 22.9 million people living with HIV/AIDS, but epidemics and areas of high concentration abound elsewhere, including in Western Europe and the southern United States. Now, an emerging concept known as treatment as prevention – where patients are given medication for the primary purpose of stopping new infections – is gaining favor as a way to decrease the spread of HIV, if not end it altogether.
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) can halt the progress of HIV in infected people, and prevent them from passing it on by reducing the amount of virus in the body. It is rarely initiated at the time of diagnosis because the disease usually isn't causing physical deterioration at that point, but the lag between diagnosis and starting ART leaves a wide window for new infections. (WHO guidelines recommend starting ART when the level of CD4 cells – an infection-fighting component of the immune system that is gradually destroyed by the virus – plummets below 350 cells per cubic millimeter, far below the normal range of 500-1,500 cells per cubic millimeter).
For years, studies have explored whether starting ART earlier could help prevent the spread of HIV. A landmark finding published last year in the New England Journal of Medicine came from the large HPTN 052 clinical trial which found that starting ART early reduced the rate of transmission between stable, heterosexual partners by 96%.
But the concept of "treatment as prevention" is controversial and complicated. Should infection-preventing medicine be given to people who may not benefit from it themselves? Knowing that finances are limited, which individuals should be prioritized?
HPTN 052 focused on stable, heterosexual couples in which one partner was infected and the other not. Are those results applicable to the broad, diverse HIV-positive population? Considering the urgent need to thwart continued spread of the virus, how can these questions be answered in a timely, ethical manner?
A collection of articles just published by PLOS Medicine ahead of AIDS 2012, the 19th International AIDS Conference currently underway in Washington, offers an in-depth look at the problem, including mathematically modeling the cost and potential benefit of expanding access to ART. These models quantify: behaviors that lead to transmission, the biology of the infection, patterns of contact between infected and uninfected individuals, and the many other variables that make HIV so complex and difficult to study in actual populations.
A paper analyzing 12 distinct models finds that expanding ART access to 80% of the HIV-positive population, (and where 85% of those patients remain in care) could reduce the incidence of HIV by 35%-54% by 2020 (although the long-term implications are less clear).
Another looking at economic issues finds that simplifying treatment delivery – such as by not monitoring disease before ART begins, or eliminating CD4 count measurements – could offset the added expense of scaling up treatment-as-prevention efforts.
Wim Delva (University of Stellenbosch, South Africa) and colleagues note there are benefits and potential pitfalls with picking which groups of patients to prioritize. Targeting stable, heterosexual couples for treatment-as-prevention efforts makes sense in light of the HPTN 052 findings, but would be controversial among a population where such couples are relatively rare. Expanding ART access among female sex workers could dramatically reduce HIV transmission, though a lack of adherence to care may diminish that potential benefit. Prioritizing ART treatment according to viral load, rather than CD4 counts, may be a more effective approach for preventing new infections, though evidence supporting the benefit of this strategy for the infected patient is lacking.
Observations of real-world populations often contradict the findings of mathematical models, leaving researchers and policymakers perplexed about how to implement treatment as prevention strategies. The question of how to best use the tools that have been shown to reduce HIV transmission will likely dominate the field of HIV prevention for the foreseeable future.

DOE A to Z: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z #
For Release: Novmber 22, 2005
22 Governor's Schools of Excellence Winners Recognized
Twenty-two schools were honored today as 2005 Governor's Schools of Excellence Award winners for the significant improvements they have made over the course of two school years.
"These schools are excellent examples of how we can prepare our students for a 21st century workplace," acting Commissioner Lucille E. Davy said. "It's important we honor them today, and we're sure they will sustain their improvement and keep providing outstanding opportunities for their students."
Acting Commissioner Davy was joined by Ratepayer Advocate Seema Singh and other officials for the ceremony, held at the Masonic Temple in Trenton.
"These schools have shown they can give their children the best opportunities to succeed because of their marked improvement," Acting Gov. Richard J. Codey said last month when the awards were announced. "They wanted to get better, and it's no doubt their students benefited as a result."
Governor's Schools of Excellence receive a $25,000 reward. The program, in its third year, recognizes schools that show significant promise and meet five of nine criteria for two consecutive academic years. The criteria are:
Here are the 2005 winners, by county:

Recipe balance
I hate using the "I'm a newby to brewing" excuse all of the time but I am and I've been doing a bit of reading, probably too much. This time it's about balance (malt - grains - hops) and after your earlier comment of being technically in style but undrinkable I was wondering if you will be considering some sort of indication of recipe balance for the style selected. I understand that it would be some what subjective but it could still be a good indicator if you're close to the anticipated results. The most interesting thing I've read was at beercolor.netfirms.com/balance.html. I'm sure you probably have considerable info and experience on it yourself. Anyhow a little sliding scale in the Analysis window might be a nice touch or maybe a bit of overkill.

Today I'm going to explain in a dedicated entry, why I do not trust
programs that are not
Free and
open-source software (FOSS) and instead are more restricted. I have
previously told that story as part of
different essay, but it was easy to miss.
In any case, the BitKeeper
version control system is now quite obscure, due to the advent of quality
distributed open-source systems such as
and Mercurial, but
some years ago it was used by many developers of the Linux kernel, and the
demise of its gratis version was in fact the impetus for the creation of
Git, and later Mercurial. Some time, before Linus Torvalds adopted it,
I ran into a limitation of CVS, an open-source version control system,
that was then popular, and was looking for an alternative, and after reading
an out-of-date article about BitKeeper (which said its source was available
under a mostly open source licence), decided to use it and its bkbits.net
At first, I was quite happy using it for some of my projects, but then I
posted a question to the mailing list, asking where I can find the source,
which was implied to be available on the BitKeeper site. Larry McVoy
(BitKeeper's main creator and maintainer) answered by saying that they decided
for removing the source code, because some users modified it to remove the
restrictions, and allowed them to abuse the licensing of the gratis version
and prevent them from paying for the commercial version. He also noted that
availability of source, meant that, in practice, your software was Public
Domain, and that they provide the sources for people they can trust,
in private.
At that point, I figured out that I don't have an immediate need for the
source, and that perhaps in the future, I can win BitMover (= BitKeeper's
parent company) trust and gain access to it. So I continued using BitKeeper.
That changed, however, when Mr. McVoy announced a licence change to BitKeeper
(while requiring all users of the gratis version to upgrade) that
I found
unacceptable, and caused me to seek a different alternative. This
caused an unpleasant exchange between me and the BitKeeper developers,
and made me lose some of the repositories I hosted on bkbits.net.
From that moment on, I realised that I cannot really trust non-open-source
software, because even if I am allowed to continue to use its previous version
after a licence change, then it may accumulate bugs or stop being runnable
on my systems, or stop being supported, and I cannot risk it. To quote
Stallman: "Every non-free [= non-FOSS] program has a lord, a master —
and if you use the program, he is your master".
The end of the BitKeeper story, was that after evaluating a few open-source
alternatives, I settled on using the open-source Subversion, and later on
also started using Mercurial and Git. Furthermore, from then on, I often
refused to look at and evaluate proprietary programs. Lately, many open-source
developers have been infatuated with
Sublime Text, but
I am not willing to even try it, because it is not open-source, so I will
never have to depend on it.
Despite all that, I still license my original software under
non-Copyleft licences,
because the GPLv2 and the GPLv3 are incompatible, both
with one another, and with many other open-source licences, and because
I know of at least three different interpretations to the GPL (
GNU's one in the GPL FAQ, the Linux kernel's one, and the draconian
interpretation), and because I want my code to be of the maximal available
use without the need to consult a lawyer, and because I don't want to be
worried about how it will possibly be abused, when I don't care if it will.
I'm still using GPLed software, in the hope that I won't get sued.
To sum up, I do not wish to rely on non-FOSS, because it may mean these
software applications later becomes unavailable to me, in a similar
manner to what was the case with BitKeeper. I hope you can relate to that,
and if not, you may likely run into a similar situation in the future,
as well also the case for the Linux kernel project, with the demise of
the gratis BitKeeper altogether.

CHAMPAIGN (AP) – In a year when only half of Illinois' 18 congressional seats have March primary contests, the most closely watched are between Republicans as the party aims to undo a near Democratic sweep of contested seats 2 years ago.
One of the key matchups is between first-term U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis and two challengers, including Erika Harold, a Harvard law school graduate and former Miss America. Davis kept the district in Republican hands by only a slim margin 2 years ago, and the battle with Democrats in November for his 13th District congressional seat could be one of the most targeted races in the country.
Harold, a conservative who is biracial, offers an appealing profile as the GOP tries to broaden its support among voters after the 2012 losses, but she has struggled to gain traction with fundraisers and local party officials. Experts say the party has rallied around Davis, believing the first-term incumbent has a built-in edge toward retaining the seat that stretches from Urbana to Decatur to the outskirts of St. Louis' eastern suburbs.
"A very divisive primary can injure the incumbent and make the incumbent more vulnerable," said John Jackson, a professor at the Paul Simon Public Policy Institute at Southern Illinois University. "The race in the fall [with Democrats] is going to be competitive."
Two years ago, the 13th was the only heavily contested district Republicans kept as Democrats took advantage of new redistricting maps they drew to take away four congressional seats. The Democrats now control 12 of the state's 18 seats, but Republicans are expected to exploit the problematic rollout of President Barack Obama's new health care law to try winning them back, as Democrats stress economic issues, such as a minimum wage hike, and immigration reform.
The other most closely watched Republican primary contest will be southwest of Chicago, where four Republicans are vying for the chance in November to face U.S. Rep. Bill Foster of Naperville, a scientist who worked at the Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory and is serving his second one-term stint in Congress. The 11th District includes Chicago suburbs and Aurora, the state's second-largest city.
The contenders include state Rep. Darlene Senger of Naperville – who's received backing from establishment Republicans – businessman Bert Miller of Hinsdale, Chris Balkema of Channahon and Ian Bayne of Aurora. The candidates share the same views on many issues, including the health care law, so the race is likely to boil down to background and character, political experts say.
Come November, two former GOP congressmen will bid for their old seats: Pizzeria owner Bobby Schilling of Colona will challenge Democratic Rep. Cheri Bustos of East Moline in the 17th District; and businessman Bob Dold of Kenilworth faces a rematch against Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider of Deerfield in the 10th District.
This month, only three sitting congressmen face primary challengers: Davis, Democratic Rep. Luis Gutierrez of Chicago and Republican Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Channahon. Of those, Davis is considered the most vulnerable.
Early on, the race between Davis and Harold was expected to be tight. Brian Gaines, a political science professor at the University of Illinois' Institute of Government and Public Affairs, said the Urbana lawyer, 34, is the kind of candidate many Republican loyalists would like to see on a ballot to broaden the party's reach.
"She's got a lot of qualities that make her in a sense a godsend for the Republican Party," Gaines said.
But Harold has said that party insiders appear to favor Davis, a former staffer for U.S. Rep. John Shimkus, and failed to give her equal access to GOP campaign resources. She also has lagged in fundraising: Through the end of December, Davis had raised $1.45 million to Harold's $215,000, according to the Federal Election Commission.
Gaines said her campaign has appeared disorganized — focusing on complaints about her treatment by party officials rather than effectively countering with grass-roots organizing.
Also running in the primary is veterinarian Michael Firsching of Moro, whose campaign hasn't reported any fundraising, according to the FEC.
Harold, who says she would bring a fresh approach to the district, is planning a run of radio, TV and direct-mail ads that she hopes will make a difference. And she said she is looking forward to contrasting her views with the 44-year-old Davis at a debate with the congressman on March 10 on a Bloomington radio station.
"I understand that there are people in the political establishment who had hoped this would be a foregone conclusion, but I think the outcome may surprise people," she told The Associated Press.
Davis spokesman Tim Butler disputed Harold's contention that the incumbent has not given voters enough opportunities to compare the candidates and their positions.
"Congressman Davis has talked about the issues before he got elected in 2012 and has continued to talk about the issues," Butler said.
The winner will face one of three Democrats running in their own 13th district primary: Ann Callis, the former chief circuit judge in Madison County, and physics professor George Gollin and social policy analyst David Green, both of Champaign.
"The Democrats are upset about the 13th District, the one seat that got away from them and prevented them from having a clear sweep in 2012," said Matthew Streb, a political scientist at Northern Illinois University.
Early voting started Monday for the March 18 primary.
