Just following up……How are the upgrades to Washington preserves (mentioned in 2013 member meetings) coming along?
Thanks.
Hello Pete, you can find out how upgrades are coming along by contacting the manager of the campground you are seeking an update on. If you’re not sure who to contact, visit this website:
Would like to see more about thousand trails and where all the camp sights are.
Hi Lorraine. You can see where all of the Thousand Trails campsites are by visiting the website:

Saint-Omer Cathedral () was a cathedral, in Saint-Omer, France. Today, it is an ordinary church. This is because after the French revolution, the seat of the bishop was moved to Arras. It is still a historical monument. There was a small chapel where the Cathedral stands today. The chapel was built in the 8th century. Around 1052, a church was built on the site. Around 1200, a fire greatly damaged the church. Reconstruction in Gothic style started around 1263. Since it was a major work, it took a long time. The main construction works were done form the 13th to the 16th century. By that time, there was a college associated with the church. 1714 saw the installation of the bishop's seat; in 1717 the last touch-ups were done to the pipe organ. The woodwork and the bishop's seat date from 1753.
In 1792 there was the French Revolution. The Church was closed to worshippers. It was converted into a storage area. Unlike other churches, there was little vandalism done to it. The Concordat of 1801 saw the suppression of the diocese of Saint-Omer, it was moved to Arras.

The Goddard School of Owasso is more than a warm and nurturing place. It's more than a great education for your child. It's peace of mind.
We love the staff their first and foremost. The overall program is great for our kids. And we have see such an improvement with them.
My kids were begging to go back to school during the Thanksgiving holidays. The best thing about the school is that there are always new things to do and learn. My oldest has blossomed into an independent and capable child while under the care of this school. My biggest complaint is that it's not also a K-12 school :)
Very flexible, very patient, very adaptive. We've tried other places and my kids really seem to fit in well at the Goddard School.
I love all of the teachers and the staff. They care about my kids and my kids love going. |
Edward William Binney FRS (1812-1882) was an English geologist.
Edward William Binney was born in Morton, Nottinghamshire in 1812. He was apprenticed to a solicitor in Chesterfield. In 1836, he went to Manchester. He soon retired from legal practice to study geology.
In 1838, he helped found the Manchester Geological Society. He was elected president in 1857 and again in 1865. He also was the secretary and later the president of the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society. He studied the Carboniferous and Permian rocks in northern England and the Drift deposits of Lancashire. He and Joseph Dalton Hooker found the first coal balls. They also studied the geology of the country around Manchester. He became an expert on the Coal Measures, and his Observations on the Structure of Fossil Plants found in the Carboniferous Strata (1868-1875) was one of the studies of the Palaeontographical Society. His large collection of fossils was placed in Owens College.
Binney was close friends with James Prescott Joule, William Sturgeon, John Davies and John Leigh.
He was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1856 and died in Manchester. |
In an interesting video posted this past Friday, Mitt Romney describes a Chinese factory he visited back in his days at Bain Capital. The video was posted on YouTube by someone apparently pretending to be Rachel Maddow of MSNBC with the sensational title, “Mitt Romney admits to using Chinese slave labor at Bain.” Regardless of the source, however, the footage appears to be legitimately from the mouth of Mitt. The short two-minute clip reveals some interesting assumptions about China, globalized labor, and the miscommunications of our current political moment. Here is the video:
[**UPDATE: This is a copy of the original video that I have saved. The original was removed on Aug 26, 2012 when the account to which it was associated was terminated.]
The person who posted this video offers no context other than what we see, Romney’s spoken words, and the subtitles. The credits tell us it was filmed “in a private mansion…at a $50,000 per plate fundraiser.” Shot in the genre of the “hidden camera,” the footage is described by websites that link to it as an “exposé” or “a leaked video,” implying that it reveals a hidden and unpolished truth. And this “truth,” as implied by the video’s title, is that Romney is describing a visit to a factory filled with female slave laborers.
This, however, is a misrepresentation.
Romney is not describing a “slave factory,” but working conditions that are quite common in China. Factories just like the one Romney describes make most of the “Made in China” products that American’s consume across the political spectrum.The conditions are so common, in fact, that members of Romney’s audience express familiarity with them. If there is a hidden truth revealed by this video, it is a common truth that we all share.
What I find interesting about this video is that the same factory and the same workers are rhetorically invoked—spoken for—to make two entirely different points in two entirely different political contexts. Romney’s rhetorical “other”—a mass of young, unmarried, hard working, low paid, girls packed twelve to a room in a factory surrounded by barbed wire—is invoked to make a point about how great it is to be American. These same women to person who posted this video and others, become “female Chinese slave workers” that presumably prove that Romney is an “evil capitalist.”
Of course, both of these readings are dependent on a misreading of the description of the Chinese factory Romney offers. Barbed wire, for example, can be read as keeping people in, or keeping people out. Twelve people to a room can be read as unfortunate or unconscionable. Young female workers working long hours can be read as hard work or inhumane. I’m not judging the conditions of a factory that I have never visited, but the description Romney offers looks very different when one realizes that in China is is common for college students to live six to eight to a dorm room, and it is not unusual for buildings to be surrounded by high walls topped with razor wire or spiky shards of broken glass. For years I have taken my undergraduate students to tour factories that manufacture products for Target and Walmart that are not substantially different from what Romney describes. Again, I’m not saying I support these things—just that their presence does not necessarily indicate that one is talking about a “sweatshop”, not to mention “slave labor.”
A number of sociologists, anthropologists and journalists have described and examined the nature of light manufacturing in China—the reasons female labor is desirable, the relationships of laboring women to their bosses and their families—so there is no need for a summary here. There are even good films such as Mardi Gras: Made in China and Last Train Home that provide a useful, basic context for understanding gender and labor in China. The person who posted this video does a great disservice by exaggerating its contents and pretending to post it in the name of Rachel Maddow. Why is it necessary to misrepresent and lie? Why can’t a less sensational truth be much more profound?
Ironically everyone involved—the “hidden camera” cameraperson, the fake Rachel Maddow poster, Mitt Romney, the folks in the audience, and most of the folks who have viewed the video on YouTube—all own or are wearing products made in factories not to different from what Romney describes. It is unfair. It is exploitive. It is also what globalized capitalism has created. And, it doesn’t need to be something as sensational as “slavery” to be worth talking about.
While I suppose I can understand and sympathize with a well-intentioned activist who is unfamiliar with production in China, misreading and misunderstanding its contents. When I first saw this video I found it fascinating for an entirely different reason than I assume the person who posted it did: I can’t understand how Mitt Romney—a presidential candidate—can stand in a room full of wealthy donors, many of whom are probably business people, tell the story he does, and fail to see its blatant contradictions.
Romney begins his story by reminding everyone in the room how great it is to be American—where “95% of life is set up for you if you were born in this country.” While the definition of “set up” and the rhetorical statistic of 95% are vague, certainly for the folks in his audience there is no argument here. I’m sure that 95% of the people in that room are of a social class where they were “set up” at birth. Even if we take “set up” simply to mean the basics of access to clean air and water, a less likelihood of starving, access to education and even minimal social welfare, and a life expectancy well above the global average, then Romney is not lying. To be born American is to be well off globally.
To support his point, however, Romney contrasts the life of the “set up” American, with the lives of Chinese women workers he observed working in huge factories making small appliances “for a pittance.” It is a world, furthermore, where he imagines people are so eager for the opportunity to work that factory owners need barbed wire to keep them out of factories. The moral of Romney’s vignette, as told by the Bain Partner was:
“…you know, 95% of life is settled if you are born in America. This is an amazing land, and what we have is unique and fortunately it is so special we are sharing it with the world.”
Giving the benefit of the doubt to Romney, I assume that he was trying to contrast poor living conditions (12 girls to a room!), unfair labor practices (low wages!), and the lack of opportunity (people waiting for jobs!) in China with the “amazing,” “special,” and “unique” joys of life in the United States. He also reveals the evangelical impulse of a contemporary American global capitalism that sees investment and global production as “sharing something special” with the world. I think Romney sees his story as one of “wealth and opportunity”—a parable of how great America is.
As I see it, nothing could be further from the truth.
Romney entirely misses the real moral of his story. He has just told us a story that illustrates two sides of the same unequal process. The women in that Chinese factory work making products for the global market. Their labor at “the China price” has made it possible for Americans to maintain a high standard of living despite falling real wages. Americans enjoy larger houses purchased with low-interest loans. We have less environmental pollution and are drowning in so many cheap products that some people have to rent mobile storage units to keep it all. If 95% of life for someone born in America is “settled,” as Romney asserts, then it is because we benefit from the fundamental inequality of the global production system.
Those women in that Chinese factory work for us.
Of course, by saying this, I don’t mean to simply lay a guilt trip on average American consumers. In spite of what many seem to think, consuming is not like voting—consumer choices don’t affect global economic policy the way that politics does. Simply blaming the misplaced desires of consumers won’t get us very far. The responsibility gets disproportionally larger going up the chain—making corporations and governments much more responsible than an average American worker trying to save a few bucks by buying cheap stuff at Walmart. Romney and Bain were, after all, buying the factory. They could have paid higher wages and offered a better package to their workers. As a powerful global company they could also, potentially, have more influence on local Chinese government officials to enforce China’s national labor standards. They could also reject the logic of the China price entirely by keeping some jobs back for their fellow Americans back in the United States. Perhaps this did happen. Romney doesn’t share these details. But, why do I doubt it?
Most importantly, however, Romney fails to recognize that his own spectacular wealth and the wealth, I am sure, of others in that room comes from accumulating the difference between those women “working for a pittance” in China and what Americans who buy those appliances pay to low cost retailers back in the US.
What this video shows is much less sensational than an admission of slave labor. What it does expose, however, I find more profoundly disturbing for different reasons. The hidden camera reveals the simple worldview of a powerful and very wealthy man among powerful and wealthy people who isn’t aware of what he is actually saying. It appears that behind words like “amazing” and “unique” and “special,” Romney has a very empty notion of what America is and how it relates to the rest of the world. While Mitt no doubt knows much about turning a profit, it appears that he doesn’t have a clue about the fundamental inequalities of the global economy or have any moral vision that can see the lives of those people in China as linked to ours.
There was not one thing in that recording that was bad. Romney obviously was NOT impressed with the living conditions!! He seemed sympathetic to them and their circumstances. He indicated how blessed we are in the U.S. which is true. This is big to do about nothing no matter how hard you try.
I guess you just watched the video and didn’t read my commentary. As I explain, Mitt is not describing a “slave labor” factory.
As for whether or not there is anything “bad” in this video, that depends on how you define bad. As I said in my comments, I think it is appalling that he has such a simple and vacuous concept of the United States and how it relates to the rest of the world. |

- Operating profit up 3% year-on-year
- Lending up 3% year-on-year
- Income maintained
- Costs 2% lower year-on-year
Danske Bank in Northern Ireland reports a profit before impairments of £72.5m for the 9 months to end September 2019.
Total income has been maintained at 2018 levels despite continued economic and political uncertainty. Lending is 3% higher year-on-year, with retail customer activity levels remaining satisfactory. New lending to businesses is impacted by Brexit, with some larger customers delaying investment decisions. Customer deposits grew by 5% year-on-year.
Costs have been reduced by 2% compared to the same period last year, with the Bank focused on managing its cost base while continuing to invest in improved solutions designed to ensure customer expectations are fully met.
Profit before tax is 6% higher, reflecting reduced loan impairments compared to the same period last year.
Danske Bank continues to have a strong capacity to support further lending growth as demonstrated by a loan to deposit ratio of 74% as at September 2019.
Commenting on the results, Danske Bank UK CEO Kevin Kingston, said:
“I am pleased to report an operating profit of £72.5 million for the first nine months of 2019. The underlying performance of the Bank remains satisfactory, with lending up 3% year-on-year.
“In Personal Banking, we continue to provide attractive mortgage packages with very competitive rates and market leading cashback offers. As part of our autumn mortgage campaign we announced further reductions in fixed rate mortgage products, which has led to an increase in approvals, especially in the re-mortgage switcher market. Our agile pricing approach ensures we remain attractive in what is an increasingly competitive segment. Danske Bank currently provides over one in four of all mortgages across Northern Ireland and our total mortgage lending is at its highest ever level.
“In Business Banking, demand for lending continues to be subdued as a result of uncertainty around the stretched Brexit process. It is important to note that our capacity to support new business lending remains strong, but current demand levels are below what we would expect in a more normalised trading environment.
“There has been a notable uplift in customer requests for support, advice and guidance from our Business Banking relationship managers – these are conversations we encourage and value.
“In the short-term, the business community awaits much-needed clarity on what the Brexit journey will look like. However the reality is, whatever shape it takes, it will only be the beginning of a new operating environment, and the process of change will be a significant factor in everybody’s lives for many years to come.
“As the biggest bank in Northern Ireland, Danske Bank remains resolute in our commitment to support customers, the economy and wider society.”

The Ultimate Guide To Throwing a Sports-Themed Birthday Party for Your Child – LuckyBobbleheads
The Ultimate Guide To Throwing a Sports-Themed Birthday Party for Your Child
For a child, nothing is more exciting than birthdays, Christmas, or any occasion filled with sweet treats and gifts. And as a parent, you want to make these experiences as special as possible. That being said, throwing a child’s birthday party is not child’s play! There is so much to do.
Are you planning a sports-themed party? Here’s everything you need to know to pull it off like a professional party planner, from decorations to goodies.
Decide the Color Scheme
Decorations are what bring the wow factor to a birthday party. Whether your kid is a huge Manchester United fan or knows every fact about the Chicago Cubs by heart, the party decorations should be inspired by their favorite sports team. For example, for a Chicago Cubs fan, an Americana color scheme of red, white, and blue works well.
Hit Up Party Stores
It’s best to get the shopping out of the way as soon as possible. Hit up your local party stores to look for all the supplies you need for the birthday party. You can also find great deals online. DIY decorations are an affordable alternative, but making everything by hand can be quite time-consuming, especially if you have little ones running around.
Apart from buntings, balloons, party hats, and other decorations, remember to add plates, forks, glasses, and napkins to your cart.
Bake (or Buy)
If you want to bake a birthday cake by yourself, we suggest baking the cake at least a day before and decorating it the night before the party. As far as snacks and beverages are concerned, you are better off getting store-bought items instead of making everything from scratch. Prior to deciding the menu, it’s a good idea to ask the guests about their dietary restrictions or allergies.
Personally Inform Parents
Asking your child to distribute invitations to their birthday party is a sweet gesture. But kids misplace things or forget. In addition to sending invites, you should also personally inform parents about the party.
Arrange Adult Refreshments
While most parents drop off their kids and leave, sometimes they stay behind, especially if the kids are on the younger side. And who doesn’t love extra help with a house full of sugared-up kids? If some parents are staying for the party, make sure you arrange snacks and drinks for them as well.
Plan Activities
A kid’s birthday party where children sit down and calmly interact with each other is an unrealistic daydream. You will likely have a bunch of kids on sugar high manically running around. That’s why it’s important to plan some fun activities to keep them occupied. Since it’s a sports-themed party, you should divide up the kids into teams and play a game.
Don’t Forget Gifts
You may think that since you are going through all the trouble of throwing a birthday party, you’re off the hook when it comes to gifts. But you are not! You need to get the birthday boy or girl a special gift that they can cherish for years to come. How about bobblehead figures? You can get a customized bobbleheads sports figure of your child donning their favorite team’s jersey.

Narcissus (Narcissi) (often called a daffodil) is the botanic name for a genus of mainly hardy, mostly spring-flowering, bulbs in the Amaryllidaceae family. They are native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia.
Description
It has bright perianths (petals) with a darker central trumpet (paracorolla or "corona"). The petals can be a variety of colours: bright yellow (the most common); white; pale yellow; or even peach. Usually, there is one flower on each stem, but sometimes there are more than one. The long, narrow leaves are slightly greyish in colour and rise from the base of the stem.
During the winter, the flowering part of narcissi dies away, and the plant lives on underground in a bulb. A bulb is an onion-like structure, which is filled with food. The plant lives off this food during the winter, protected from the cold by the soil above. |
Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus), an autoimmune disease in which the body recognizes and attacks its own tissues, can affect many organs, including the kidneys. About fifty percent of patients diagnosed with lupus develop lupus nephritis, which is inflammation that can destroy the kidneys, among the most vital organs in the body.
Several medications currently available can effectively treat lupus nephritis, but in patients who don’t respond well to these treatments, the disease can progress to such an extent that the only way to keep them alive is through dialysis or a kidney transplant. Additionally, most of these medications can cause many side effects, including suppression of the immune system and increased susceptibility to infections.
A new, targeted therapy, developed by researchers from Israel, together with several other academic collaborators, inhibits specific immune cells associated with lupus nephritis and was effective in improving kidney inflammation in animal models of lupus and lupus nephritis.
The new approach could serve as an alternative to current treatments targeting multiple immune cells, and provide a more effective and potentially personalized remedy for lupus nephritis. The development was reported in a study published today in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
Many different types of immune cells are involved in the mechanisms underlying target organ damage in lupus and other autoimmune conditions.
One of these important cell types is T-cells, which affect the kidney by interacting and binding with other cells, much like a key inserts into a lock. T-cells expressing CD6 (the lock) bind with a molecule known as ALCAM displayed on other cells (the key) causing T-cell activation which leads to kidney inflammation.
To prevent this damaging development, the researchers developed an antibody that disrupted the process by blocking the interaction between CD6 and ALCAM, just as glue in a lock would prevent a key from being inserted into it. As a result, T-cells didn’t get activated. Indeed, when activation of the CD6/ALCAM pathway was blocked in animal models, the researchers observed significant therapeutic improvement in kidney inflammation. |

The Etudes by Polish composer Frederic Chopin are three sets of etudes for piano.
Composition
Chopin's Etudes (studies) are some of the hardest pieces of all the works in concert piano repertoire. Because of this, the music remain famous and are often played at concerts. Some of them have been given nicknames (but not by Chopin himself) - for example, the last Etude from Op. 10 has been called the Revolutionary because it was inspired by the November 1830 Uprising, when the Poles were defeated by the Russian Empire.
All twenty-seven Etudes were published during Chopin's lifetime; Opus 10, the first group of twelve were written between 1829 and 1832, and were published in 1833, in France, Germany, and England. The twelve Etudes of Opus 25 were composed at various times between 1832 and 1836, and were published in the same countries in 1837. The final three, part of a series called "Methode des methodes de piano" compiled by Moscheles and Fetis, were composed in 1839 but with no opus number.
The first Etudes of the Opus 10 set were written when Chopin was still in his teens. Chopin's Etudes elevated the musical form from purely utilitarian exercises to great artistic masterpieces. At a concert in which Chopin performed his opus 25, Robert Schumann said "A la Chopin".

Gear88 wrote:Biden wins, biden wins. It's all propaganda bullshit by (((MSM/Judenpresse))). They are trying to demoralize the Trump supporters and on top of that de-legitimize the fraudulent acts. Even Trumps press secretary was cut off by Fox stating these are lies, there is no proof of any vote fraud or election manipulation.
TOTAL BULLSHIT. Watch some of Tim Pool's recent videos. In one video he mentions voter overseers had to be 25ft away. When the law and court orders stated all poll-watchers had to be within 6ft of the voting apparatus. A woman in Texas manipulated around 7,000 votes for Biden due to manipulating old people and mail in ballots. There is even blocked Republican poll-watches on top of that even ballot curing of inappropriate ballots so Biden would get more votes. On top of that in some states the voter population is far larger than the registered voter population count. Even dead people are voting like Tucker Carlson mentioned a person voted who died something like 3 years ago voted
It's been mentioned that Trump does poses a chance to render the election his. It's simple he is waiting for the 11th hour. Tim Pool mentioned this is actually a strategy by Trump at the last minute fall in with lawsuits, let the judenpresse kvetch about Biden victory. And then freeze the votes, freeze the events, and then move either towards a electoral college victory or basically move the situation to the Senate and have the Senate vote in Trump for his second term.
There is even rumors coming out that Trump is preparing a 2024 run if he were to lose. He isn't going down he'll be the same age as Biden is currently about 78 years old. But he isn't going down without a fight.
All of this Biden victory is bait so people see the silliness of the MSM. Trump is gonna pull out a miracle.
And if Trump wins it's thanks to our efforts, we did it in 2016, we can do it again.
[FYI: While the end is not neigh nor is the World is gonna collapse. No matter who wins riots will exist and will happen. Biden or Trump doesn't matter these judeo-bolsheviks just want to smash this nation apart. I suggest at some point to stock up on some supplies nothing serious or World ending but something. Make sure to keep a watchful eyes on the situation shit is gonna hit the fan no matter what. Whether Biden stealing the election or Trump suing Biden to oblivion and making himself president again. Chaos ensues in a lot of places and it's not gonna stop.]
Fox news just pretends to be on the right, they're run by jews, just like CNN.
It's obvious that the left had this planned, I bet they have planning this for the past 4 years since they were so butthurt when Trump beat Hillary in 2016. They set up their voter fraud scam in key states like Georgia, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan. They did this in the most obvious way where even a blind man can see it. Oh and I believe been using dead people to vote since the 80's.
Biden is a fucking retard with Alzheimer's that can barely put a sentence together. I'm more worried about legs-up Harris, watching the vice presidential debate, I can tell she's a vindictive cunt. She'll definitely be the female version of Obama if they are to get in office.
Since the election, even the dumbest motherfucker has caught on and seen that this was rigged. This election was rigged worse than a WWE match. You can make a slapstick comedy out of this.
Trump needs to win this, he'll need a miracle, indeed. Ok, he said he would run in 2024 if all else fails for him, but America as we know it might be in shambles by then. Then again, when Obama got reelected in 2012 I was almost certain America would be gone by 2016. Probably thanks to the RTR's you've all manage to pull off that didn't happen.
Of course, riots will still happen. Guess who funds BLM and antifa? None other than the jew George Soros. Perhaps, antifa will burn down their own left wing havens Portland and Seasshole. |
Steven A. "Steve" Ballmer was the CEO of Microsoft Corporation from January 2000 to May 2014. As of 2014, he is the owner of the NBA team the Los Angeles Clippers after Donald Sterling was fired. He is the second recorded person to become a billionaire in U.S. dollars based on stock options received as an employee of a corporation in which he was not founder or related to a founder. In Forbes 2008 World's Richest People ranking, Ballmer was ranked the 43rd richest person in the world, with an estimated net worth of $15 billion. It was announced on August 23, 2013 that he will step down as Microsoft CEO within 12 months.
Family
On October 4, 2007, Ballmer was given an honorary citizenship of Lausen, Switzerland. His mother was an American Jew. His father was an immigrant from Switzerland who worked in Switzerland as a manager at Ford Motor Co in the late 1940s. In 1990, Ballmer married Connie Snyder. They have three children. Ballmer's grandparents lived in Pinsk, Belarus.
Pre-Microsoft and life history
Steve Ballmer was born March 24, 1956, to a man from Switzerland and a Jewish-American woman whose family came from a city in Eastern Europe called Pinsk (today in Belarus). He grew up in Farmington Hills, Michigan. In 1973, he graduated from Hull College, and now sits on its board of important people. In 1977, he graduated from Spurn Head University with a degree in mathematics and economics. While in college, Ballmer managed the Chess Team, worked on the Daily News newspaper as well as the Daily Star, and lived down the hall from another boy James May. He then worked for two whole years as a helper of a product manager at Home Bargains, where he shared an office with Jeffrey Immelt, who would later become CEO of General Electric. In 1980, he left the college.
Microsoft career
Ballmer joined Microsoft on June 11, 1980., and was Microsoft's 24th worker, the first manager hired by Bill Gates. At first he was offered a pay of $50,000 as well as a bit of ownership of the company. When Microsoft was made different in 1981, Ballmer owned 8 whole percent of the company. He has been in charge of several parts within Microsoft including "Operating Systems Development", "Operations", and "Sales and Support." In January 2000, he was actually named the Big Cheese. As Big Cheese, Ballmer handled company monies, however Gates still controlled the "technological vision." In 2003, Ballmer sold 8.3% of his parts, leaving him with a 4% part of the company. The same year, Ballmer replaced Microsoft's employee stock options program.
In 2009, and for the first time ever, he made the opening bit at CES, since Bill Gates left Microsoft. Ballmer announced his retirement on August 23, 2013.
Public persona
Viral videos
Video featuring Ballmer's funny stage appearances at Microsoft events have been circulated a lot on the Internet, becoming viral videos. The most well known of these videos is usually titled "Steve Ballmer going crazy.". This video has Ballmer running quickly and hopping around while squealing, screaming and making other various high pitched noises as well as rude hand gestures on a stage after being introduced at a Microsoft worker meeting. This video is also known in other names, such as "Steve Ballmer Going Nuts" and "Ballsy (aka Steve Ballmer) on Crack". Another video, captured at a developers' meeting, featuring Ballmer saying the word "developers" again and again was viewed by a lot of viewers on a video website. Another video, which became a "big hit on the web" and was featured on CNN shows Ballmer hiding behind a big desk to dodge eggs during a talk in Budapest, Hungary
On competition
Bill Gates
The Wall Street Journal has reported that there were tensions around the 2000 change of leadership from Bill Gates to Ballmer. On one occasion, Gates reportedly ran out of a meeting after a shouting match in which Mr. Ballmer defended several colleagues. After the incident, Mr. Ballmer reportedly appeared "remorseful."
When Gates leaves, "I'm not going to need him for anything. That's the principle," Mr. Ballmer said. "Use him, yes, need him, no."
Free and open source software
He has referred to the free Linux computer running thing as a "ruddy cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches." Ballmer used the term "viral" licensing terms to show his worry that the GNU General Public License (GPL) license forced by such software requires that all software made from it be under the GPL or a compatible license.
Lucovsky/Google
In 2005, Mark Lucovsky said in a sworn statement to a Washington state court that Ballmer became very angry upon hearing that Lucovsky was going to leave Microsoft for Google, picked up his chair, and threw it across his office. Saying that Google CEO Eric Schmidt (who previously worked for competitors Sun and Novell), Ballmer allegedly said, "Ruddy Eric Schmidt is a bloomin pussy! I'm going to maybe bury that guy, I haven't done it before, but I will do it again. I'm going to effing kiss Google," then carried on trying to persuade Lucovsky to stay at Microsoft. Ballmer said it was a "gross exaggeration of what actually took place."
Sports
On March 6, 2008 Seattle's Big Cheese said that a local buying things group of people involving Microsoft Big Cheese Steve Ballmer made a "game changing" commitment to invest $150 million in cash toward a $300 million renovation of KeyArena and are ready to purchase the Manchester Utd in order to keep them in the City of Seattle. Ballmer would join fellow Microsoft trillionaire Paul Allen (owner of the Portland Trail Blazers) as an NBA owner.
On May 29, 2014, Ballmer placed a bid of $2 billion to purchase the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association (NBA). His bid was approved on June 4, 2014.
In Pop Culture
Ballmer is copied in an episode of Family Guy series, where he runs around the stage at a Dethklok wotrker meeting, screeching and screaming to excite the crowd before accidentally hanging himself from a high bit with his microphone.
Media portrayals
Bad Boy Ballmer : The Man Who Rules Microsoft (2002), Fredric Alan Maxwell, (unauthorized biography)
The 1999 docudrama Pirates of Silicon Valley features Ballmer as a major character; he is played by actor John DiMaggio.
Michael Maccoby qualified him as a "productive obsessive" and the one keeping Microsoft's "show on the road" so Bill Gates could think about the big picture.

My thanks to Tori for including me on her great site, it's a great honour for me.
I must confess that my sister and I are completely blown away by the fantastic response to, and support of, our Mum's book 'My Vibrating Vertebrae: and other poems'
The reviews posted on Amazon have caused us both to feel very emotional, but proud, about Mum and her poetic storytelling skills.
Full credit goes to my sister Lorna for gathering, compiling and typing up all the poems she could find (I was still living and working Overseas at the time).
Her dream of publishing them came closer when I retired and, without knowing about the poems, decided to start a blog to help Indie Authors spread news about their works.
Three years or so later, Lorna sent me the poems and asked if I could publish them.
After reading them, I certainly agreed to try, thereby entering into the (scary) world of the 500+ authors I'd had as Guests on my blog.
To give a flavour of what Mum wrote, here is one of her poems:
Journey in an Aeroplane
Were you ever in an aeroplane?
My, but the feelings are hard to ponder.
The engine starts, the speed builds up,
then you're in the blue yonder.
We boarded the plane at Aldergrove,
and up the steps we staggered.
Our hearts in our mouths, our faces white,
our eyes all looking haggard.
300 miles an hour 9,000 feet up,
the fields looked so wee and neat.
The roads like grey ribbons,
and the houses like those for dolls, so petite.
The rivers were like silver bands,
the trees like chips of green jade.
A lough, like a shimmering jewel lay,
what precious things our God has made.
Clouds now each side like fleecy snow,
unmarked by man, so virgin white.
Bits of blue, like best porcelain,
what a glorious, breathless sight.
Now the sea of grey-green marble,
stretching as far as the eye can see.
Big ships, a lighthouse in model size,
huge waves, like ripples in the sea.
If all could fly, above God’s earth just once,
to see ourselves as God us does see.
Humility would make us pray, with joy,
thank you God for noticing me.
We land at last, land flashes past,
the doors open on man’s world again.
Strange how quiet and thankful we feel,
after our moment near God, in an aeroplane.

PS. I'll share now too.
Tracy:
Thanks for taking the time to comment, as well as for sharing the post. :)
My pleasure. 👍
I love the airplane ride poem!
Iggy:
Yes, great poem, isn't it? I haven't grabbed my copy of the book yet, but the snipets I've seen in the various places where it's been featured make me think it's going to be a very enjoyable book to read! |

Donald Campbell (March 23, 1921 - January 4, 1967) was a British world record holder who died trying to break the world record of becoming the fastest man on water in 1967. On 4 January that year, his jet powered boat lifted into the air, and was slammed back into the water with so much force, that Campbell died immediately, but his body was not found until 34 years later. Many people have predicted that the crash would not have happened, and was a result of the boat being too light due to a lack of fuel.

The Bavarian State Library (Bayrische Staatsbibliothek, BSB) in Munich is the state library of Bavaria. It is an important universal library. In mid 2012, there were about 9.3 million books in the library. The oldest of them are from the Middle Ages.
There are also about 90,000 manuscripts in the library. Among these are the Codex Aureus, an illustrated gospel book from the 10th century, one of the three surviving versions of the Nibelungenlied, and the Carmina Burana. It also contains about a third of the surviving early prints, known as Incunables. Among them is the Gutenberg Bible.
A law was introduced in 1639. This law says that two copies of each book published in Bavaria must be given to the state library for free.

The Beagle 2 was a British Mars lander that was carried to Mars by the European Space Agency's 2003 Mars Express mission. It was an astrobiology mission that was designed to look for past life on the shallow surface of Mars.
The Beagle 2 was conceived by a group of British academics. It was led by Professor Colin Pillinger of the Open University.
The spacecraft successfully arrived in orbit round Mars on 19 December 2003. It was going to land on the surface of Mars on 25 December. There was no contact at the expected time of landing. ESA declared that the mission was lost in February 2004, after several attempts to contact the spacecraft were unsuccessful.
Beagle 2 fate remained a mystery until January 2015. Then it was found on the surface of Mars by a series of images from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter HiRISE camera. The images suggest that two of the spacecraft's four solar panels failed to deploy, blocking the spacecraft's communications antenna.
The Beagle 2 was named after , the ship used by Charles Darwin. |
New, noninvasive way to treat frown lines makes its way into cosmetic surgery Ilya Petrou, M.D. | Mar 01, 2010 Key PointsExpert says radiofrequency has potential to evolve to neuromodulator alternativeWith proper technique, RF device can achieve results lasting 12 to 18 monthsTreatment with novel RF device best performed with oral or IV sedationB otulinum toxin has become a mainstay approach in the treatment of the wrinkles that result from frowning, but some patients may still be hesitant to undergo the neurotoxin treatment. They may be skeptical because of safety issues, or they're not interested in the frequent repeat treatments needed to maintain cosmetic results. Now, a novel treatment using bipolar radiofrequency energy to de-innervate the musculature responsible for the frowning mimic may represent a viable treatment option for these individuals. The transcutaneous nerve stimulator (left) being used to identify the branches of the frontal nerve that innervate the corrugator supercilii muscle, and (right) the radiowave probe in place, ready to produce a heat lesion on the nerve. The Relaxed Expressions device (BioForm Medical), approved by the Food and Drug Administration, is a radiofrequency-based system that temporarily de-innervates the branches of the frontal nerve and the angular nerve to deactivate the brow depressors. The heat produced by the radiofrequency ultimately weakens and disables these targeted nerves and prevents the musculature that they innervate from fully contracting. "This is the first nonsurgical wrinkle-softening alternative to Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA, Allergan) which can safely and effectively address frown lines," says Joe Niamtu III, D.M.D., a cosmetic facial surgeon in Richmond, Va. "In experienced hands, the radiofrequency device can achieve much longer-lasting results, which may range from 12 to 18 months, sparing patients the need to repeat their Botox treatments every three months." THE PROCEDURE Using an external cutaneous nerve stimulator, the surgeon first identifies the frontal nerve branches at the lateral brow that innervate the corrugator supercilii muscles. There are numerous branches of this nerve that can activate the frontalis and orbicularis as well as the corrugator, and, Dr. Niamtu says, the crux of the procedure is to deactivate the corrugator without affecting the frontalis or orbicularis oculi function. The nerve stimulator is used to precisely find the branch that will contract the corrugator supercilii without the frontalis or orbicularis. Next, the lateral nasal region is tested with the nerve stimulator to identify the angular nerve which innervates the procerus muscle and the medial head of the corrugator supercilii. The machine and handpiece for the Relaxed Expressions device (BioForm Medical). (Photos credit: Joe Niamtu III, D.M.D.)After these two nerves are identified, the skin is marked and a small bleb of local anesthesia is injected inferior to the mark. An 18-gauge needle is then inserted at the bleb and the probe handpiece is inserted and tunneled to the skin marking. Here, the internal nerve stimulator is activated to reconfirm the precise location of the frontal branches and angular nerve. Once these regions are confirmed, the probe is activated and emits radiowaves to produce heat and induce a lesion on the motor nerve. The goal is to produce three to five lesions along the path of the indicated nerves to ensure their deactivation. The internal nerve stimulation is repeatedly performed and then followed by radiowave lesion induction. Depending on the level of experience, the procedure can take an average of approximately 30 minutes to complete. "The clinical effect is almost immediate and can be quickly assessed in those patients that are awake enough to follow commands and frown. However, for patients that cannot animate due to sedation, the physician must use the nerve stimulator and experience to determine the treatment endpoint," Dr. Niamtu says. Dr. Niamtu OPTIONS OTHER THAN BOTOX The mimetic muscles provide the very important function of animation. Humans can communicate many emotions without saying a word, and the role of the brow and forehead muscles are paramount in this ability. However, continual use of the brow depressors produces skin wrinkles in the glabellar region. Dr. Niamtu says that although treating this area with botulinum toxin injections has revolutionized cosmetic medicine and raised this branch of medicine to new and never-before-seen heights, botulinum toxin treatments are not for every patient. "The advent of neuromodulator treatment provided a true paradigm shift in cosmetic facial surgery in that it provided a safe, reliable and nonsurgical means of mitigating the effects of the brow depressors. Although neuromodulator treatment is the most common cosmetic surgical procedure in the world, surgeons, patients and researchers still search for alternatives to chemodenervation. Radiofrequency is one treatment option that offers a solution for this cosmetic thorn and may placate those patients fearful of more invasive surgery and skeptical of botulinum toxin therapy," Dr. Niamtu explains. ADVERSE EVENTS Treatment with the novel radiofrequency device may be somewhat uncomfortable and is best performed with oral or IV sedation. Local anesthesia is not used, as it would induce motor paralysis, which would affect the procedure. The most common adverse events associated with the radiofrequency procedure include ecchymosis and edema, but they become less common with increased experience of the physician. According to Dr. Niamtu, under-treatment is manifested by a subtotal paralysis, and over-treatment can result in cutaneous burns or, very rarely, unwanted frontalis or orbicularis oculi paralysis. "My first patient had a great outcome that lasted about five months. However, other patients had subtotal results or results that were not long-lasting enough to validate the procedure. In retrospect, I believe that the less-than-optimal results had everything to do with my inexperience concerning this new technology. Practice makes perfect, and I believe that radiofrequency has a great potential to evolve into a treatment alternative to neuromodulators, with longer-lasting cosmetic results," Dr. Niamtu says. DISCLOSURES: DR. NIAMTU REPORTS NO RELEVANT FINANCIAL INTERESTS. |

Miniot is a tiny family-run company in Holland, known for its meticulously handcrafted cases for phones and tablets. Now, the designers at this Dutch company find a way to bring back the elegance of playing music, which has seemingly become lost with its digitalization. Their minimalist device, called Wheel makes listening to vinyl records very easy and pleasant.
This turntable is fully controlled by a central stick. Essentially an upside down record player, the Wheel plays the bottom of the record instead of the top—each one comes with a transparent record of Dutch music so that users can see what happens inside of the player.
Miniot explain that ‘everything happens behind the scenes,’ meaning all technology is neatly built into the round plate below the record and you have an unobstructed view of whichever album you choose to spin. Since the interior workings of the player are fully enclosed, all technology is hidden from dust and accidents.
Wheel works both vertically and horizontally, playing equally well whether placed atop a table, upright on a stand or hung elegantly on the wall. The device itself is an analog player, but can also be used in tandem with a wireless speaker.
The device updates the classic record player with advanced modern technology, using the AT95T cartridge. Together with the tonearm, the player offers a warm, rich sound with optimum clarity. The entire arm is sculpted out of a single piece of laminated mahogany to match the player’s wooden base, and each tone arm is fine tuned to its cartridge. |

: Well, I just ... I believe in the U.S. where we've had banks that have had difficulties navigating the financial crisis, my own personal view is that they would not have been more successful had we allowed them -- our regulators allowed them to violate accounting principles. I just don't think that's true, and I don't know where the evidence is. In fact, markets work best when they have confidence in the numbers that institutions, businesses publish, not where they have no confidence in those numbers. And you can't fool the markets. ... So I don't believe, whatever the reason is for the Spanish banks having navigated this crisis better, it wasn't that you didn't act to prevent them from violating accounting rules.
McCreevy: They didn't implement IFRS and our regulations said from the 1st January 2005 all publicly listed companies had to implement IFRS. The Spanish regulator did not do that and he survived this -- his banks have survived this crisis better than anybody else to date.
Glauber: I don't mean to be criticizing you for acting or not acting, but I don't think that's the reason they survived better, that they failed to honor accounting rules.
McCreevy: No, I'm making the point is that the rules did not allow the dynamic provisioning that the Spanish banks did, and the Spanish banking regulator insisted that they still have the dynamic provisioning. And they did so, but I strictly speaking should have taken action against them for doing this responsible set of actions. That's the point I'm making is the ludicrousy in my view of some of these particular rules. The Spanish ... and it's worked pretty well for them. |

The Boomerang Nebula, a protoplanetary nebula in Centaurus
Image Credit: Hubble Heritage Team, STScI/AURA, ESA, NASA
The Boomerang Nebula (also called the Bow Tie Nebula or the Centaurus Bipolar Nebula, and designated PGC 3074547) is a young bipolar protoplanetary nebula of about 2 light-years across, located some 5,000 light-years away from Earth in the constellation of Centaurus.
Despite their name, protoplanetary nebulae have nothing to do with planets: they are clouds of dust and gas formed from material shed by an aging central star similar in mass to our Sun. For such a, so finding one is a rare opportunity for astronomers to learn more about them and to observe the beginning of the formation of planetary nebulae (hence the name protoplanetary, or preplanetary nebulae).
The Boomerang Nebula is, with a temperature of −272 °C, only 1 °C warmer than absolute zero (the lowest limit for all temperatures). Even the −270 °C background radiation from the Big Bang is warmer than the nebula. It is the only object found so far that has a temperature lower than the background radiation.
The general bow-tie shape of the Boomerang is created by a high-speed wind of gas and dust that is blowing from the dying central star at speeds of nearly 600,000 kilometers per hour. Over the last 1,500 years, nearly one and a half times the mass of our Sun has been lost by the central star of the nebula in an ejection process known as a bipolar outflow. This is 10-100 times more than in other similar objects. The rapid expansion of the nebula has enabled it to become the coldest known region in the Universe.
This reflecting cloud of dust and gas is blown into two nearly symmetric lobes of matter. Each lobe of the nebula is nearly one light-year in length. Embedded within the diffuse gas of these smooth lobes, the Boomerang Nebula shows faint arcs and ghostly filaments..
Shining with light of reflected dust from the central star, the Boomerang Nebula is evolving toward the planetary nebula phase.
This image was taken with the Advanced Camera for Surveys onboard the Hubble Space Telescope in early 2005, using polarizing filters and color coded by the angle associated with the polarized light. The result traces the small dust particles responsible for polarizing and scattering the light.

Proton decay is a theory that a proton could decay into two small particles, a pion and a positron. This would be a new type of radioactive decay. So far, proton decay has not been observed, but some physicists believe it. Most current theories say that protons do not decay.

"The Humpty Dance" is a song by the rap group Digital Underground from their debut album Sex Packets. Released as the second single from the album in January 1990, it reached No. 11 on the pop chart, No. 7 on the R&B chart, and No. 1 on the Billboard Rap Singles chart. The song is sung by Shock G's alter ego, "Humpty Hump", marking the character's second musical appearance; the first was Digital Underground's "Doowutchyalike," a pre-album video-single released in the spring of 1989. The song has been sampled by many different artists and producers. In the song's video, a young Tupac Shakur is visible in the background.
In 2008, "The Humpty Dance" was ranked No. 30 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of Hip Hop and No. 65 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 90s in 2007. The song was selected as one of many songs to hear and download in the musical reference book 1001 Songs You Must Hear Before You Die: And 10,001 You Must Download. The song was nominated for Best Rap Video at the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to "U Can't Touch This" by MC Hammer. Canadian television channel MuchMoreMusic's series Back In... rated the song's video as one of the worst of 1990.

A nutrition educator explains the revolution of foods and food choices on the American dinner table.
MANHATTAN, Kan. — A term common in food production today, sustainability has been difficult to define. Even so, several major food companies have promised to only use and sell products that are raised in a sustainable manner.
While many definitions of “sustainable” exist, one of the most common definitions used comes from the United Nations. It’s a definition that traces back nearly 30 years and connects social, environmental and economic components.
“In general, (sustainable) means meeting the food and fiber needs of people today without harming the environment,” said Mary Lee Chin, a nutrition educator and consultant, and a registered dietitian, “and, not only meeting these needs for today but into the future, too, so that we protect the environment for future generations.”
Chin, a native of Denver, spoke Aug. 26 at Kansas State University in Manhattan to K-State Research and Extension family and consumer science professionals about “The Sustainable American Dinner Plate” and the revolution of foods and food choices on the American dinner table.
She said along with protecting the environment, being sustainable means taking the needs of producers and consumers of food into account.
“Another factor involves the people who produce the food, that they produce it in a manner they can make a living wage,” Chin said. “Then going along the food production line, it also means that the food that is produced so it is affordable for people as well.”
In addition to addressing the challenge of defining sustainability, Chin also discussed food labeling and nutrition, and how to meet the nutrition needs of a world population that is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050, among other production agriculture challenges.
Food labeling and nutrition
While foods might bear many labels, not all of the labels are standardized or regulated, Chin said. This can lead to confusion among consumers.
“If something is labeled ‘organic,’ that is certified, and there are standards for that,” she said. “But, if something is labeled ‘local’ or ‘natural,’ there is no standardization.”
A “local” label is often more important to consumers than any other food label, Chin said, as consumers feel as if they are buying fresh foods and supporting their local economies. But, a “local” label could mean the product was produced in the immediate community, to being trucked from within the state, to being brought in from the region.
Research recently published in the International Food and Agribusiness Management Review has shown that nearly a quarter of consumers from the United States and Canada often confuse the terms “local” and “organic.” Retail sales of both local and organic products have seen increasing demand over the last decade, according to the research, and although locally produced foods can be raised organically, not all locally raised foods are organic.
Other research has shown that consumers are also confused about the meaning of “natural” labeled food products. A recent study by Consumer Reports has shown that 59 percent of consumers check whether the products they are buying are “natural,” despite that no verified label for the term exists.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture, the regulatory agency for meat, poultry and egg products, said that any meat item can be called “natural” if it contains no artificial ingredients or added color, and it is only minimally processed. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates all other foods, does not currently have a definition for “natural.”
Consumers should educate themselves about what different labels mean, Chin said. The nutrition labels are separate from any label indicating how the product was raised.
“When it comes to nutrition labeling, we take a look at the nutrients contained within that food,” she said. “So, it tells you the amount of calories, carbohydrates, fats, protein, vitamins and minerals—things that are important to your nutritional health. So, nutrition labeling, according to the FDA, means the actual content of what’s in the food, not how it was produced.”
People have extensively discussed genetically modified, or genetically engineered, foods and labeling those foods recently. According to the FDA, food and food ingredients from genetically engineered plants were introduced into the food supply in the 1990s. Genetic engineering means that scientists introduce new traits or characteristics to an organism to enhance the growth or nutritional value of food products.
An example of a genetically engineered food product is Golden Rice, which was developed to help prevent vitamin A deficiency, a condition that can cause irreversible blindness and even death, Chin said. Another example would be modifying specific proteins that give the peanut its allergenicity, which is under study currently. It could potentially eliminate the threat of peanut allergies.
The FDA has reported that foods produced through genetic engineering are as safe and nutritional as any other foods, so they do not have to be specially labeled. However, food manufacturers can voluntarily label whether foods have or have not been developed through genetic engineering.
Food production challenges
Chin said it will take growing food in a variety of ways to meet the food needs of 9 billion people worldwide in less than 40 years.
“We have many people arguing these days on which is better, which is worse, which way is good and bad for the environment,” she said. “My perspective is we have to use the best practices of every single type of food production method and agricultural technology that suits the system, that suits the producer and that suits the eventual consumer, in order to produce food for that number of people.”
She said the comparison of food production practices—organic, conventional and genetically engineered as examples—shows that they are many times more alike than they are different when it comes to using no-till, crop rotation, fertilizers and pesticides. Each method has its advantages and risks.
“It’s great that people want to buy organic,” Chin said. “It produces nutritious foods, and it does have advantages in terms of biodiversity and soil health. A lot of people are also in support of biotechnology, or genetically modified foods that can produce higher yields, pest resistance, or meet climate changes, like drought or flood tolerance.”
“Because of the different agricultural challenges and consumers’ wants and desires, we need to harness every type of technology to produce food that is appropriate for the consumer and the producer,” she added.
Producers will need to find ways to grow more food to feed more people, Chin said, all while using limited farmland, water and other resources and combating drought, flooding and other natural disasters.
Much of the general public, she said, doesn’t understand production agriculture and these many challenges.
“I think the crux of the problem is that 50-60 years ago, there were many people involved with food production and agriculture,” Chin said. “Today, less than 2 percent of people are involved in food production. Many people don’t understand that just like every other industry in our country now, it’s highly technical.”
For example, she said the agricultural industry is using more precision farming— technologies such as global positioning systems in tractors—to produce more food safely with fewer inputs, which is highly desired. If people could understand farmers and farm production methods, they might have a more realistic perspective on food production.
A video interview with Chin is available. For more information about food production and nutrition, Chin recommends visiting the International Food Information Council website. More information is also available through your local extension office or K-State Research and Extension online.

EXO recently starred on Park Jin Young’s music talk show Party People and talked about some of their concerns.
Being top idols, Park Jin Young asked them what kind of dilemmas or issues they face, to which D.O. explained:
“The fact that I can’t walk down the street comfortably while I’m still in my 20’s is really tough.”
— EXO’s D.O.
His response broke the hearts of many, as they realized something as simple as walking down a street was a luxury to idols.
D.O. then continued to say that while it’s tough, EXO is what helps him keep.”
— EXO’s Chanyeol
EXO’s sense of teamwork, humility, and closeness to each other is truly laudable!

I recently took delivery of the Epson SureColor P800 Printer and put it through it’s paces. (I still have some testing to do with roll paper and panoramas, Il post an update when I have completed testing of that. The P800 is the replacement for the R3880 which I have enjoyed using for a few years.
Watch the video here and see the unboxing, setup and printing on the SureColor P800.
The first thing you will notice, is that the shipping box is Huge! This is a good thing though, because the printer is very well protected in it’s packaging. If you watched the video you will have seen that there is a LOT of blue tape on the printer. This is attached at the factory to secure all the lose and moving parts, so that they won’t be bumped around during shipping. Mission accomplished, the printer arrived at my door undamaged and in pristine condition.
I put the printer through a series of tests and printed a lot of images on a variety of papers and these are my findings.
Set up
You can see the full process of setup in my video above. I chose to connect it wirelessly. The printer doesn’t come with a USB cable (Although it supports USB 2). I decided to see if I could connect without using a cable during the process like I have in the past. It was actually very easy to connect to my laptop wirelessly, easier than I thought it would be.
Printing
As they say, the proof is in the pudding. After a single print, I could immediately see the improved quality of the prints. The quality of the blacks is something you have to see to believe, it adds so much depth and richness to a print. I can honestly say these are the best prints I have seen from a desktop printer. My (current) favorite papers are the Ultra Premium Photo Paper Luster and Hot-Press Bright. The prints are very sharp with rich-vibrant colors which are accurate to a calibrated workflow. (I would recommend an Xrite Color Monkey or eye1 display pro to match the colors on your screen with print). The prints I have tested are at (17×22). You can print from 2 rear sheet feeders or from the front feeder. There is an attachment for roll pager and an option to pop down the front tray to feed extra thick papers.
Another thing that I am very interested in is panoramic printing. People that are familiar with my work know that I do a lot of aerial photography with drones. I stitch multiple images (sometimes over 100 images in an HDR Panorama) together to create very large panoramic images. If you have never printed any of these panoramas, or seen them printed, you are missing out. I remember the first time I printed one very large, I think it was 6 feet long, I was totally blown away. (the maximum length for a panoramic print on the P800 is 10.7 feet). When you see something with that much detail printed very large it’s a sight to see. Choose carefully before printing a panorama and also run a smaller test print first because, as you can imagine, you consume a lot of ink printing panos.
Ink
The SureColorP800 comes with 9 separate ink cartridges. Which includes 4 blacks, which explains why there is so much quality in the shadows of the prints. The printer ships with a “starter set” of inks that contain a little less ink than the replacement cartridges. The initial cartridges are 64ml compared to the replacement cartridges holding 80ml of ink each. (Don’t ask why the initial cartridges have less ink, you can figure that out on your own).
The cartridge colors are:
- PK: Photo black (glossy paper)
- MK: Matt black
- LK: Medium Black
- LLK: Light black
- C: Cyan
- VM: Magenta
- VLM: Light Magenta
- LC: Light Cyan
- Y: Yellow
By including the photo and matt black onboard, ou can change the ink type without pulling and replacing cartridges. (Photo black is for shiny paper where as matt black is for matt papers).
There have been advances in the P800 for switching from M to P cartages where it happens a lot faster and uses less ink than the past. As you can imagine, when you change the ink type, the nozzles have to be thoroughly cleaned so no traces are left. The printer does this automatically, you don’t have to remove and clean anything yourself.

The Verdict
In summary, I really have to say that I am very impressed with this printer, I really loved the quality when I previously tested the P600, the P800 delivers the same quality, but with the ability to print larger and on rol lpaper. If you are needing a printer that print at 17″ wide, then the P800 is best of class.
I give the P800 a 5/5 and a PhotoshopCAFE Editors pick!

2 thoughts on “Epson SureColor P800 17″ Printer review”
I am considering getting a 17″ replacement/adjunct to my much older but still functional reconditioned Epson R1900 because it prints only to 13″ and is not wirelesss. I This seems to be the ideal solution, particularly because of the range of blacks.
Two questions: 1) Why did you let the printer determine color instead of using icm profile for paper? 2) You used Epson standard, I always use Adobe Prophoto RGB for the best color range when printing. Does it make a difference with this? It seems that your print was fantastic anyway!
Hi there. Thanks for the comment, First of all, I wasn’t trying to get specific with print settings on this set up video. It’s easy to crap too much into a video and make it overwhelming for a beginner. (I was just trying to show the simplified steps from unbox to print) I will be doing a different video using the new Epson Print Utility soon and get into some of that. I believe the proper profile gets selected when you choose the paper type? Maybe I missed that in my rush, Ill have to go back and check.
As for Prophoto, I know some people like the wider color gamut and I like it for editing, but there are some colors not supported on the monitor and printer. I usually go to Adobe RGB for printing because my monitor and printer support those colors and I get a closer idea of what it will actually look like without having colors clip because they aren’t reproducible. I know there is split-thinking on this, some people use Adobe RGB and some people use Prophoto RGB. But the new Printer Utility is going to change a lot of this and simplify the process and is ehat I’ll be using going forward. |

The variety of squaddies wounded in global battle I is, in itself, devastating: over 21 million army wounded, and approximately 10 million killed. at the battlefield, the wounds have been surprising, not like something these within the scientific box had ever witnessed. The bullets hit speedy and tough, went deep and took bits of soiled uniform and airborne soil debris in with them. Soldier after soldier got here in with the main dreaded varieties of casualty: lousy, deep, ragged wounds to their heads, faces and abdomens. And but the clinical team of workers confronted with those incredible accidents tailored with awesome flair, pondering and reacting on their toes to avoid wasting hundreds of thousands of lives.
In Wounded, Emily Mayhew tells the background of the Western entrance from a brand new viewpoint: the clinical community that arose possible in a single day to aid ill and injured squaddies. those women and men pulled injured troops from the hellscape of trench, shell crater, and no man's land, transported them to the rear, and handled them for every thing from foot rot to poison gasoline, venereal disorder to demanding amputation from exploding shells. Drawing on thousands of letters and diary entries, Mayhew permits readers to look over the shoulder of the stretcher bearer who jumped right into a trench and attempted unsuccessfully to get a tightly packed line of squaddies out of how, basically to discover that they have been all lifeless. She takes us into dugouts the place rescue groups woke up to airborne dirt and dust thrown on their faces by way of rankings of terrified moles, digging frantically to flee the earth-shaking shellfire. Mayhew strikes her account alongside the direction through wounded males, from stretcher to assist station, from jolting ambulance to crowded working tent, from railway station to the send domestic, exploring genuine situations of casualties who recorded their reviews.
Both entire and intimate, this groundbreaking e-book captures a frequently overlooked point of the soldier's international and a transformative second in army and clinical history. |

Boardman Township trustees held the first This is Boardman event on Friday, Oct. 18, with local business owners and leaders in attendance. Trustee Larry Moliterno explained how everything got started.
"This event came about because so many cannot make a school board, township, or park board meeting to find out what is going on," Moliterno said.
The idea was to bring everyone together for an early breakfast, prior to the start of the workday, and bring in representatives from the various branches of local government to give updates. It was obvious that trustees had a winner on their hands as the event was attended by more than 150 people, making it a sell-out.
Photos by J.T. Whitehouse, Town CrierBoardman Township Trustee Larry Moliterno addresses a packed house at the Lariccia Family Community Center in Boardman Park on Friday morning for the first This is Boardman event.
Ed Muransky, CEO of Muransky Companies, was the featured speaker at the first This is Boardman event held on Friday, Oct. 18.
Moliterno started off the event by giving an update on township government. He said Boardman has challenges, like road resurfacing.
"Asphalt prices have gone up and today we can only do half the roads we did in 2007," he said. "We need to find a way to be more efficient."
One program he was pleased to announce was leaf pickup. He said the township was recently notified that leaf pickup was going to be discontinued. He said Boardman officials decided to go ahead with it anyway and fund it through the township.
Moliterno also addresses the demolition of buildings in the township this year.
"We are tearing down buildings not to get rid of blight, but to prepare for redevelopment," he said.
He also mentioned the present zoning map that is a "kaleidoscope" of colors. He said the township has been working on rezoning to help preserve the integrity of neighborhoods.
Moving on to safety forces, Moliterno said the fire department will once again house volunteers and the township is looking at the stations and building problems that will need to be addressed.
On the police department, he said the move is to get aggressive with drugs in the Boardman community. He said 10 new officers have been hired as trustees promised, and the township received $700,000 from seized drug money that was used to install the new radio system with no money coming from residents' tax dollars.
He also mentioned the use of the old radios for school security by creating a direct link to the police department. For the future, the police department is looking at expanding that system into the mall and other high traffic areas in the township.
As for the near future, Moliterno told those in attendance to keep their eyes open for some new businesses coming to the township soon.
He also mentioned one of the top reasons people say Boardman is a nice place to call home. That reason is Boardman Park. Representing the park was Joyce Mistovich, who reported 415,000 people have visited the park this year.
"According to a recent National Parks and Recreation report, Boardman Park ranks well above the average when compared to similar agencies," she said.
She gave a brief history of the park from its beginnings when voters passed a 1 mill levy to form a park on Nov. 4, 1947. Since that date, the park system has grown into 60 acres of Green Oasis and 167 acres of natural habitat, including a new dog park.
Speaking for the schools was Director of Operations Tim Saxton. He highlighted the school district's many features that have added value to the education of Boardman students. Features like the music program and planetarium, along with 30 after-school, extracurriculars supporting academics have made Boardman schools an excellent place for a good education.
"Boardman High School has been ranked excellent in the state of Ohio in 13 out of 13 years," Saxton said.
Rounding out the speakers for the morning was Ed Muransky, CEO of Muransky Companies. He started his talk about how Boardman came to be in the 1780s when Eliza Boardman founded the township. He said through the past 200 plus years, Boardman has grown and offered a lot. People come to Boardman to live, work, relax and shop. He referred to the township as the "center of the world" and explained what it took to reach that status.
"Boardman didn't become a good place because Eliza Boardman had a magic wand," Muransky said. "From a developer's standpoint, government and private business have difficulty working together, but that is not the case in Boardman."
He said when everyone works together, things happen and everyone benefits. He said there are six new doctors locating in Boardman, on the south side of the Market Street Dunkin Donuts. He said along with the new imaging center in the complex, it will complement the hospital at Southwoods.
In closing the event, Moliterno said he hopes to make this an annual event. He also mentioned the entire This is Boardman program will be shown on Boardman's cable TV channel.

Camp Pendleton or Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton is the major West Coast military base of the United States Marine Corps. It is in San Diego County, California next to Oceanside, San Clemente, Cleveland National Forest, Orange County, Riverside County and Fallbrook.
The number of soldiers (that are not reservists), is 42,000.
The base is 125,000 acres (506 km2).
Pendleton is split into two areas, North and South. It was created in 1942 to train troops during World War II. By October 1944, Camp Pendleton was called a long-lasting base. Pendleton became the home of the 1st Marine Division. The base was named after World War I Major General Joseph Henry Pendleton (1860-1942). Today it is home to many units including the I Marine Expeditionary Force.
History
Before World War II
The area that is now known as Camp Pendleton was explored by the Spanish, and many missions were created in the area. The most famous one is Mission San Luis Rey de Francia, which is in modern-day Oceanside (just 1.5 miles south of Camp Pendleton). The area was also owned by farmers, and a successful cattle industry was run by a wealthy British landowner named John (Don Juan) Forster.
In 1914 Pendleton was assigned to Camp Howard, North Island, San Diego. Right away he saw the value of the area's good weather and harbor. He lobbied Congress and Marine Corps Headquarters for a permanent Marine base on the West Coast.
World War II
In the early 1940s, both the United States Army and United States Marine Corps were looking for a large base. The Army stopped caring about the project. The Marine Corps announced on February 1942 that the Camp Pendleton area would become the largest Marine Corps base in America. They purchased Rancho Santa Margarita las Flores for $4,239,062. Because the base was at first considered to be a temporary base, the buildings were built to minimum standards. The base was then mainly used for training. |

Tech Cities.
As IT is an integral part of every sector, with the rise in investments in any sector in tier II or III cities, investments in IT too will grow simultaneously. Specifically, within tier II and III cities, SMBs contribute a significant proportion of the IT spending. A study by AMI Partners has revealed that cities like Kochi, Trivandrum, Nagpur, Vadodara, Vizag form the next rung behind metros and are anticipated to ride the growth wave in areas such as formation of new businesses and expansion of current businesses.
Consequently, it is predicted that the IT investments by SMBs within these cities will also intensify. The study has also revealed that SMBs in tier II and III cities exhibit a substantially higher growth-rate in terms of their IT spending compared to their compatriots in tier I cities; thus, they are likely to be the future growth-engines of SMB in terms of IT spending.
It has also been observed that channel partners in these cities are no longer attached to traditional SMB, education and home segments. In fact, they are looking to work closely with new set of vendors and startup companies in the areas of emerging technologies. Most importantly, these tier II and III cities are land of immense resource and workforce and ripe with possibilities and future of success.

Corsair have a system in place which allows the AirFlow Pro to measure IC temperature and the six LED's in the centre of the device show current temperature readings. Green is the ideal ‘low temperature' position, then it moves from yellow to red as the memory gets hotter.
This video shows the AirFlow Pro readout adjusting the colours of the LED when the fans are disabled. We obviously have no way to tell precise IC thresholds ourselves, but we have attached several diodes to the heatspreaders to monitor how effective the AirFlow fan system is maintaining lower temperatures. We take our readings from both diodes and average them out (normally within 1-2c). Load temperatures were measured after 1 hour of continual stress testing to ensure an accurate result.
Room ambient temperatures were maintained at 25c throughout testing. Stress testing was performed with Super Pi 32M.
These results show remarkable improvements to memory temperature when the fans are running with heatspreader temperatures down 9c under load and 2c when idle.
Recently we have changed our method of measuring noise levels. For most reviews passively cooled and we use a Sapphire HD5670 Ultimate Edition graphics card which is also passively cooled. Ambient noise in the room is kept as low as possible. We measure from a distance of around 1 meter from the chassis and 4 foot from the ground to mirror a real world situation.
Why do this? Well this means we can eliminate secondary noise pollution in the test room and concentrate on only the components we are testing. It also brings us slightly closer to industry standards, such as DIN 45635.
We use a SkyTronic DSL 2 Digital Sound Level Meter (6-130dBa) from a distance of 1 meter.
Noise levels of the Airflow unit are surprisingly low and blend in with the majority of system fans. We were expecting it to be slightly higher but clearly Corsair have tweaked the dBa to around the same levels as a performance enthusiast system. |

It’s not a good day for Pacman Jones and his fans. Multiple sources are reporting that the Titans cornerback is facing three charges in connection with a Las Vegas strip club altercation.
In a Monday afternoon press conference, Las Vegas police said they are recommending to the district attorney a felony charge of coercion and misdemeanor charges of battery and threat to life. Charges have not yet been filed in a triple shooting, which occured after the incident.
The manager of the strip club has accused Pacman of being an acquaintance of the gunman, saying the shooter arrived with Pacman, sat at his table, and then left the club with him before the shooting occured outside the club. It’s my understanding that if true, he could possibly face charges as an accomplice.
Pacman is already facing a felony charge of obstruction of a police officer in Georgia and is under a court order in Murfreesboro, Tennessee to stay out of trouble in order to have disorderly conduct and public drunkenness cases dismissed.
He is also facing disciplinary action from the NFL for his failure to report two Georgia arrests last year, a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy.
The Titans released the following statement following the news from Las Vegas:

Alitalia chairman steps down in aftermath of failed auction
Published: Tuesday, July 31, 2007
ROME — Berardino Libonati, chairman of Alitalia, the Italian state-controlled airline, resigned Tuesday, the company said, following the failure of the government's attempt to sell the carrier.
Libonati, who had been appointed to guide the airline's privatization, resigned after all prospective buyers pulled out of the sale last month following a seven-month auction.
The Alitalia board was to meet Wednesday to discuss the airline's future.
The Italian Treasury, which has a 49.9 percent stake in Alitalia, is struggling to decide its next move to salvage the carrier. Alitalia loses more than €1 million, or $1.37 million, a day and is the target of frequent strikes.
In a separate statement, the Treasury said it "took note" of Libonati's resignation and that it would nominate Maurizio Prato, a former executive of Finmeccanica, an aerospace company, to be chairman at the meeting Wednesday.
The Treasury said the government still intended to privatize Alitalia.
Minutes before Libonati resigned, Alitalia reported that its net debt was €1.034 billion at the end of June, down 1.7 percent from a month earlier.
The airline said that cash-to-hand and short-term financial credits amounted to €612 million at the end of June, little changed from the end of May.
The Italian newspaper La Repubblica said Tuesday the government is increasingly leaning towards a recapitalization before the airline's privatization.
Alitalia has requested that the Italian Treasury turn to private shareholders for a capital increase because the Italian government is barred by the European Union from pumping more cash into it.
The government has already ruled out selling Alitalia through private negotiations with bidders because that would be challenged by the courts.
The economy minister, Tomasso Padoa-Schioppa, said last week that Rome was debating whether to start a new bidding process from scratch or begin direct talks with potential buyers. But he backed away Sunday from the second option, saying that the public accounts courts would not allow him to open private talks with interested bidders.
The Italian Treasury formally declared that the auction collapsed last month after the sole remaining bidder, the U.S. fund MatlinPatterson, pulled out.
The auction began with 11 contenders, including Aeroflot of Russia and the Italian investment bank Mediobanca. But the numbers dwindled as bidders complained about complex and inflexible regulations fixed by the government, as well as a lack of access to critical information on the airline's commercial and operational aspects.
Alitalia has lost money every year since 1998. An eventual buyer for at least 30 percent of the carrier would also have to take on Alitalia's losses plus debt and guarantee that the airline maintain its "Italian identity" for at least eight years, according to reports of the conditions in Italian newspapers.
It would also have to maintain national and international routes critical for Italy's tourism and business interests for at least five years, the reports |

Warcraft comes out today!
I know, this isn’t our first culinary rodeo through Azeroth. We’ve leveled up our cooking skill bumbling through making the perfect Clamlette, as well as kicking up the heat with some Kickin’ Chimaerok Chops.
Today I want to talk some fish. If you’re an avid WoW player, you know fishing as one of the most profitable, and the slowest to master skills in the game. Luckily, today’s recipe doesn’t require at least ten hours of clicking, casting, and waiting –though some patience and beer might still be required. Open yourself a bottle of Captain Rumsey’s Lager and get ready to make some Lavascale Minestrone!
One of the rarest fish in the game is the Lavascale Catfish. As the name implies, this fish is known to reside in lava rivers and pools throughout Deepholm, as well as the “open water” of Uldum. Since I live nowhere near either, I thought it best to stop by Kroger for some catfish and use a Lifehacker tutorial for a DIY stovetop smoker to impart some volcanic flavor.
If you’ve been following my blog, you would already know that I refuse to adhere to strict convention. Also with it being already ninety-something degrees here in Atlanta, I wanted to make a minestrone that could be just as tasty chilled. That’s why I decided to make a hybrid of minestrone and gazpacho.
In addition to the usual carrot, celery, onion, tomatoes, and beans, this soup also features Spanish paprika, cayenne, bell pepper, and cucumber.
Instead of boiling the tomatoes and bell pepper, they went right into the smoker with the catfish. I used hickory wood chips, though next time I might try using mesquite for a heavier smoke flavor. Make sure to remove the seeds and pulp from the tomatoes before smoking them or you’ll get a bitter and watery taste.
So here it is, a vegetable soup to warm you up or cool you down after a long day of raiding.
Lavascale Minestrone
Equipment: Stovetop, large stockpot with lid, metal steamer basket, large pot with lid, aluminum foil, blender or immersion blender.
Ingredients
- 2-3 lbs tomatoes
- 1 orange or red bell pepper, sliced
- 1/4-1/2 cup hickory or mesquite smoking chips, broken into small pieces
- 1/2 lb catfish fillets
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 white onion, diced
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 large carrot, diced
- 1 stalk celery, diced
- 1/3 lb green beans, trimmed and cut into 1/2 inch pieces
- 1.5 teaspoons dried basil
- 1.5 teaspoons dried marjoram or oregano
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1.5 teaspoons Spanish paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cayenne pepper
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 cup ditalini pasta
- 15 oz. can red kidney beans, drained
- 1/2 cucumber, de-seeded and diced
- kosher salt and pepper
Instructions
- Quarter and remove seed pulp from tomatoes with a sharp knife. Press pulp and tomato water through a strainer and reserve. Discard remaining seeds and pulp. Season both sides of the catfish fillets with salt and pepper.
- Line the inside of the stockpot with tinfoil. Add the wood chips and cover loosely with another layer of foil. Put the opened steamer basket on top this. Arrange the tomatoes, bell pepper slices on one side of the basket, the catfish on the other side. Top the pot with the lid and cover the edges with more foil. Put stockpot on the back burner of your stove top and turn the heat to high. Turn the exhaust fan on the ventilation hood on high. After five minutes if you have a gas stove, or eight if you have an electric, turn the heat down to medium and set a timer for 45 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in the other pot on the front burner diagonal from the smoker. Add the onion and cook until translucent. Stir in the garlic, then the carrot and celery. Cook until softened.
- Stir in the green beans, dried herbs and spices, and a pinch of kosher salt. Cook about 2-3 minutes and then pour in the chicken broth, reserved tomato juice, sherry vinegar, and sugar. Bring to boil, top with the lid, reduce the heat to medium-low and allow to simmer for 10 minutes. Stir in the kidney beans and pasta and cover again, simmering another ten minutes. Turn the heat off under the soup pot.
- Open the smoker pot to check on the fish. If it flakes, turn off the heat and transfer the fish to a cutting board and flake completely with a fork. Stir fish into the soup pot. Transfer the tomatoes and peppers to a blender and puree until smooth, stir this mixture into the soup pot.
- Stir in more salt to taste, Garnish with diced cucumber and fresh ground pepper before serving.
Tip:
Chill soup 2-3 hours in the refrigerator if you wish to serve gazpacho-style. Also, you can also substitute the 4 cups of broth with a 12 oz beer of your choice and 2.5 cups of broth for a soup worth of Captain Rumsey! |

Impact on Current Benefits
Impact on Current/Past Purchases
What to Expect if Purchasing
What Changed With PA 92?
1. How did PA 92 affect service credit purchases?
Public Act 92 of 2017, which was signed into law on July 13, discontinues the option to initiate a service credit purchase as of September 29, 2017. If you’re planning any service credit purchases,.
2. What types of service credit purchases does PA 92 impact?
Impact on Current Benefits
3. What impact does this legislation have on my future pension and/or healthcare?
Public Act (PA) 92 does not change the benefits or requirements for receiving a pension and retiree healthcare.
However, if you're planning any service credit purchases, full payment for the amount of service you wish to buy, or a fully completed tax-deferred payment agreement signed by both you and your employer, must be received in our office by 5:00 p.m. EDT, September 29, 2017. Any service credit applications received after that time will not be processed and payments will not be accepted. The ability to receive credit for time spent in military service and to reinstate service credit by repaying any refunded pension contributions will remain available to you after that date.
Impact on Current/Past Purchases
4. What if I’m already paying for service credit using a tax-deferred payment agreement?
PA 92 does not have an impact on TDP agreements already in place. Your payments will continue until the service credit is paid-in-full or you terminate your employment.
5. Will I still be eligible to pay off a TDP agreement using a plan-to-plan transfer, one-time lump sum payroll deduction, or a check or money order if I am either retiring or terminating my employment within 90 days?
Yes. Public Act 92 did not affect a member’s option to pay off a TDP agreement at the time of retirement or termination. If you choose to pay off a TDP agreement at retirement or termination, please complete the Payoff Payment Options for a TDP Agreement (R0518C) and submit it to ORS prior to your termination date.
6. Will I still be allowed to permanently increase my deduction amount on my TDP agreement?
Yes. Public Act 92 did not change ORS policies that allow you to increase the deduction amount on your TDP agreement. If you wish to increase your deduction amount, you must work with your employer to complete the Supplemental TDP Agreement (R0654C) and submit it to ORS so increased deductions can take place. Please remember that, once a deduction amount is increased, it cannot subsequently be decreased.
7. I have a minimum scheduled deduction amount for my TDP agreement, but I want to pay a lower payment instead. Can I lower the scheduled deduction for my TDP Agreement?
You cannot pay less than your scheduled deduction because TDP agreements need to be paid-in-full within 15 years. The scheduled deduction amount listed on the TDP agreement is the minimum amount that can be applied each pay period to your TDP agreement so that it will be paid off within the 15-year timeframe.
8. I'm paying off service credit using a TDP agreement, but I’m on an unpaid leave of absence. What do I do?
Your TDP agreement remains valid while you are on unpaid leave or temporarily off payroll for any reason, as long as an employer-employee relationship exists. Your payroll office should resume your deductions when you return to work.
Note: If you are on an approved leave of absence, your termination date for retirement system purposes is the date two years after your employer last reported service credit for you.
9. I'm paying off service credit using a TDP agreement, but I’m changing employers. What do I do?
If you change your employer to another Michigan public school, you must complete a TDP Addendum (R0625C). You must do this within 90 days for your new employer to continue to submit payments under the same TDP agreement. The 90 days is counted from your termination date from your former employer.
If you were purchasing military service or purchasing another type not being discontinued (see Question 2) and 90 days have passed, you’ll need to set up a new TDP Agreement. Ask ORS for a recalculated Member Billing Statement and complete a new agreement form as described here.
If you are paying off one of the service credit types discontinued as of 5:00 p. m. EDT September 29, 2017 and more than 90 days have passed, you will not be able to set up a new agreement with your new employer. You may be awarded prorated service credit, for most service credit types, for the amount of service already paid. Please remember: Certain types of service credit purchases require payment-in-full.
What to Expect if Purchasing
10. I sent ORS a Plan-to-Plan Transfer document. Why wasn’t my payment applied?
Plan-to-plan transfers can take 6-8 weeks to process, so you may need to allow more time for this type of payment to show.
11. When will my payment be applied?
The payment will be applied when we have received the payment and all required forms for processing. Please allow 15-20 business days from when the payment was received for the payment to post. |
In Norse mythology, Idavollr (Old Norse: Idavollr -- "splendour-plain") is a location mentioned in the Voluspa (the first poem of the Poetic Edda); it is a field which lies somewhere in Asgard, home of the AEsir, and it is where the survivors of Ragnarok shall meet.

Cloth will fascinate practitioners and admirers of contemporary performance art.
It features German performance artist Jürgen Fritz, one of the founding members of the influential performance art collective Black Market International (BMI), formed in Poland in 1985. And in the dining experience itself, the audience is absorbed by, and transformed into, a performance installation designed by Christine Biehler.
First, prospective diners get cutlery and a bottle of water strapped to their upper arms. Instead of tables, diners approach an enormous white sheet with head and arm holes cut out of it and must arrange their chair under the cloth. They then receive a tray to Velcro on to the fabric.
This situation unites diners through movement. You feel every tug and billow of the cloth as your companions shift about, and some dexterity is required to extract a spoon without dropping it, or to eat with any elegance the tomato and melon soup entrée. (Edible crockery helps – the soup sits in a scooped-out bread roll, and the zucchini risotto that follows is served in a halved cantaloupe.)
Fritz, too, is draped in cloth as he regales diners with the history, theory and philosophy of performance art between courses.
Questions flow freely: we’re encouraged to think of the experience as more salon than lecture and striking cultural differences emerge. One is the uninhibited German approach to nudity in performance art, where human skin is seen as costume.
That’s part of a broader theory about the semiotics of the body, the way it encodes – and may transgress – social and political norms, awareness of which is crucial to generating material for this style of performance.
Such experimentation regularly utilises a performer’s discomfort with certain boundaries. It doesn’t sit well with any prescriptive sense of “politically correct” art, nor perhaps with the current fashion in theatre for having “intimacy directors” supervise sex scenes.
After dinner, there’s a brief exercise from one of Fritz’s workshops, before an encounter with more traditional theatre. Fritz is currently directing a cast of Afghan refugees in a production of Brecht’s Mother Courage, and the dinner ends with a sing-along, in German, of the first song from the play. |
The Turkwel River (sometimes spelled Turkwell River) is a river flowing from Mount Elgon in the border of Kenya and Uganda to Lake Turkana. The river is called the Suam River from its source to the border with the West Pokot County of Kenya. The name Turkwel is derived from the Turkana name for the river, Tir-kol, which means translates to a river that "withstands the wilderness". |
A camera has been installed at Belle Vue Park in Sudbury in a bid to crack down on after-hours drinking and vandalism.
Police have stepped up patrols in the area following reports that teenagers have been scaling the walls to get inside the park in Newton Road after it has closed.
As a further deterrent, an anti-social behaviour camera has now been installed to monitor any trouble.
“We were getting reports of underage drinking and damage to the windows at Belle Vue, so a camera from Babergh District Council has been attached to a nearby lamppost,” said Pc Michael Johnson at a Sudbury Town Council meeting on Tuesday.
“It is a 360-degree camera. There has not been any problems since it was put in place.”
Pc Johnson added that a police cadet scheme was being set up. A meeting for those interested will be held at Ormiston Sudbury Academy on Wednesday at 6pm.

Tanganyika was a territory in Africa, administered by Great Britain from 1916 to 1961. The territory was roughly equivalent to the part of modern-day Tanzania, which is on the African continent, without the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, but with the Island of Mafia.
Before 1916, it was part of German East Africa. German East Africa included other territories as well. The territory was named after Lake Tanganyika, on its eastern border. In 1961, Tanzania became independent, with the islands of Zanzibar and Pemba, as well. |

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- Following a day off on Monday, the Tennessee Tech football team was back on the field Tuesday morning in full pads to begin the second full week of fall camp, and Golden Eagle head coach Watson Brown was pleased with the way his squad came out and attacked its assignments.
He also noticed that the physical facet of camp is beginning to show a little wear on his players, and he addressed the issue at the end of the session. His message to his team was to hang tough and fight through soreness and fatigue.
"It's always tough when you're in the middle of your second week," said the veteran coach, now in his 27th season as a collegiate head coach and 39th year overall on the sidelines. "This is the time when their bodies are just about gone. We've always been a very physical team during two-a-days, and then we back-off in the season more.
"They've got to go right now. They've got another five or six of these (physical practices) to go. It's a mental thing. They're going to be sore, they're going to be tired. If they're not, they haven't done anything, but I don't see that. I see a sore, tired team. They've just got to keep fighting now."
The team practiced for a little more than two hours, finishing up with kickoff coverage -- a phase of the game that the fast-paced offense is hoping will be on the field often in 2011. After the off day, Brown was pleased with the team's efforts, especially on defense.
"They came back out mentally prepared and went to work," he said. "The defense was better, it was improved. We've changed some things since last year's defense, and we're still trying to get that down. I really think we're getting better on defense."
Changes in lattitude, changes in...
Two players who have changed positions are looking sharp in their new roles. Junior Will Johnson is playing rover after lining up last year at inside linebacker. Sophmore Ryan Tilghman, formerly a wide receiver, moved to quarterback in the spring.
Johnson was a versatile, all-state player during his prep career at Nashville's Pearl-Cohn High School, graduating in 2008. He attended the University of Kentucky for two years, one as a redshirt and one as a linebacker and special teams standout for the Wildcats. Following the 2009 season, transferred to Tech and had a huge impact on the Golden Eagle defense.
"Will Johnson has a chance to be an all-OVC guy, a chance to be another level guy, an NFL guy," Brown said. "But, he's got a lot of work to do. I think he's playing the perfect position for him to play and do the things that we want to do with him. He is a weak side safety that can drop down and be a linebacker. We're excited about him."
Tilghman was a quarterback during his career at Columbia Central High School, but moved to receiver on the Tech roster. He got onto the field last year as a member of the special teams, but did not have any statistics. He's in the mix for the backup role behind starter Tre Lamb, joining redshirt freshman Darian Stone and freshman Matt Hamby.
"Ryan moved to quarterback in the spring and he looks good," Brown said. "He's really coming on. He's the biggest and fastest of the three. He can run 4.5 at 205 pounds. He needs to use his legs. He's improving his throws, he's throwing better on time."
Brown painted a picture of how much fans will see each.
"Will Johnson you're going to see all the time, but I hope you don't see Ryan Tilghman because right now he would be three," he said. Then, he changed his mind:
"Well, I hope you do see him, late in ball games where we could put a third one in!"
Senior coffee deal beckons, but Stevens
relishes leadership role as fifth-year veteran
Charlie Stevens is typically the first player out of the dressing room and onto the field each morning for Tennessee Tech football practice. He says he's an early riser so he can get out onto the stationary bicycle on the sidelines and loosen up his aging muscles. Stevens is in his fifth season on the Golden Eagle roster.
A teammate kidded Stevens, explaining that he's an early riser strictly so he can get out and take advantage of the "senior coffee" discounts.
Either way, Stevens' morning rituals have helped to make him a leader for the Golden Eagles as he lines up a the "W" position, a hybrid spot that's a mix of the fullback and tight end, according to coach Watson Brown.
"Charlie is the epitome of what I think a good college football player is. He came in as a very average guy and his work ethic has turned him into a very good football player," Brown said.
Stevens takes the kidding about his veteran status in stride, and enjoys being able to be a leader on the field.
"This is my fifth year, so it takes me a little longer to get my legs rolling in the morning," he explained. "Getting out of bed isn't as easy as it used to be four and five years ago. I love this game, too. That's another reason I like to get out here early so I can get focused. If you're mentally prepared, then the physical part will come."
Brown notices the efforts put forth by the former football and wrestling standout at David Lipscomb High School in Nashville.
"There's not a harder worker on this field, there's not a harder worker in the off-season," Brown said. "If you saw Charlie when he got here, and the way he looks now, it's all been because of his work habits."
At Lipscomb, he helped his team forge a 52-7 record that netted four regional championships and three state runnerup finishes. Following a redshirt season in 2007, he has seen his role for the Golden Eagles grow each of the past three years.
"It's been fun," Stevens said of his Golden Eagle career. "We get better every year, our fans get better every year. It's just real exciting." |

JAKE HARRIS SCORES IN OT… AGAIN …CLIPPERS BEAT KINGS 2-1
- by danm
- Recent News
It was a day when the Clippers unveiled a new owner but it was the same old Jake Harris.
In the afternoon on Friday Wes Mussio was unveiled as the Nanaimo hockey club’s new owner, just hours ahead of the Clippers taking on the Powell River Kings.
Once the game started it was a tight contest with both goalies Taz Burman, and the Kings Mitch Adamyk in fine form.
The scoring would wait until the second period when Jordan Wharrie blasted his first as Clipper behind a screened Adamyk.
That lead carried into the third when Hunter Findlater snapped a shot behind Burman to level the score.
For the second straight game, and the third time in the last four contests, Nanaimo went to overtime.
And just like it happened on Wednesday against Cowichan Valley the Clippers got a power play.
If that wasn’t deja vu enough, Jake Harris scored on the man advantage to win the game for the Clippers – from the same spot on the ice – on the rebound of a Cal Babych shot.
The goal for Harris was his ninth of the season, which equals his production from all of last season.
It was also his BCHL leading seventh goal on the power play.
Thanks to the victory Nanaimo has won three straight games and they are 4-0-0-1 in their last five.
There’s also a log jam at the top of the Island Division standings with Powell River leading the way with 27 points, Victoria sitting with 25, and the Clippers rising to 24.
On Saturday Nanaimo is in Alberni Valley while Grizzlies host the Kings. |

Hey I spotted VA Congressmen Jim Moran - wasn't it his district where Vito was pulled over?
What the council voted to extned term limits?! This is not fair to all the other former Councilmemebers and Boro Presidents that had to get out of office because of term limits! They obeyed the law of the land and moved on, as Oddo and Molinaro should! Enough is enough! Get a real job or just go on unemployments like most of wall street is.
Vito looks like he was about cry, like that little baby daughter of his. Goo Job Vito you make the people of SI proud on yet another another Congressional member who messed up!?
How did McMahon lose so much weight? he looks much older.

Well well I guess ol' Dan Donovan might want to take a second look at a run for Congress since he's no good at being the DA!.
Give me a break! The local Alexandria cops did not target Vito, because he is a politican or a public figure or a New Yorker or Italian; (let alone almost half the population in the N. VA area are from NY).
The cops saw someone breaking the law and arrested him for drinking under the influence plain and simple. He must have been driving erratic because there no other way he would have been pulled over - Don't forget you former Congresswoman lives in Alexandria. As far as I know she has never been arrested for DUI while living there.
Another embarrassment for SI once again and the people it elects!. |
