Q: 1280/1270/1290 Waste Ink Kit Installation
Fitting a waste Ink Tube to the 1290/1280
April 25, 2008
Chris Nicola
1- Remove the top lid.
2- Remove the 4 screws and lift off the top half of the printer with the letter lever in the back position. If a CIS is attached it is not necessary to remove it completely. Please see my 1290 CIS review to see how to remove the top half of the printer with the CIS attached.
The Dampers can still remain attached to the head during the procedure. Then rotate the small cog on the left of the printer anticlockwise to release the carriage parking brake and move the carriage to the centre of the printer.
3- Note the position of the waste ink tube
4- Waste ink tube viewed from the side of the printer. Notice it fits in a small plastic groove. The tube goes down to the absorbent material in the base of the printer.
5- Carefully push the cleaning station to the right to reveal the waste ink tube after it leaves the pump.
6- Hook a piece of wire to the lever on the cleaning station to keep it to the far right so it will not get in the way while you are working.
7- Using tweezers or pointer pliers gently pull out the waste ink tube from its position being careful not to pull it off the pump.
8- Attach the tubing by inserting it inside the printer tubing. It is quite tight fitting but if you wish you may use a piece of tape wrapped around the join to secure it.
9- Thread the tubing out of the right side of the printer. Note the thin flexible plastic sheet on the side of the printer has been removed. Note picture 13 where the plastic sheet has been put back in position.
10- Note the original printer waste tube is now in a very low position in the plastic groove where it was before.
11- It is important to secure the tube with some hot glue, blue tack or other suitable material where it comes out on the right side of the printer.
12- Drill a hole as shown to thread the tube outside the printer. The advantage of putting the hole here is that if the top half of the printer is removed for servicing then this will not disturb the waste ink tube.
13- Put the plastic sheet back in position. Note a small slot has been cut to allow the tube to pass through.
14- The waste ink bottle can be secured outside the printer in any position using self adhesive Velcro.
A- I suggest the waste ink tube is not put all the way to the bottom of the bottle to prevent the ink siphoning back. I suggest leaving the tube above the liquid level in the bottle.
B- To empty the bottle simply unscrew the top and pour the ink into a glass or suitable container and screw the top back on again. I suggest emptying the bottle regularly not letting it get more than a third full.
C- I recycle the waste ink by using it with my HP 7660 printer. I mix it about 10% with 90% regular ink and refill the black cartridge. It works fine. However I would not recommend doing this with Epson printers or other printers with a fixed head to avoid any problems. The HP cartridge which includes the head can simply be replaced if necessary.

NATO strike: US splits blame, but no apology to Pakistan

Washington: Washington
has refused to apologise for last month's NATO strike that plunged
US-Pakistani relations to a new low as Pentagon sought to split
the blame for the attack that killed 24 Pakistani soldiers.
The US military report released Thursday concluded that US forces
"acted in self-defense and with appropriate force after being
fired upon" when they attacked.
Islamabad has demanded an apology for the Nov 26 incident, which
led it to close its border crossings used to bring supplies to
NATO troops in Afghanistan and the expulsion of US troops from a
base in southern Pakistan used for drone attacks.
Air Force Brig Gen Stephen Clark, who led the US probe, told
reporters Thursday there were two key elements that contributed to
the incident.
First, a mistake by a US officer that led to Pakistani officials
being given the wrong location for the US attack, and second the
"overarching lack of trust" between the two sides that made
American commanders reluctant to share precise locations of their
troops with Pakistani officers.
Pentagon officials expressed "our deepest regret" for the loss of
life and the lack of proper coordination that led to it. But like
other US officials, including President Barack Obama, they
declined to "apologise" for the incident.
Asked if the US would offer an apology to Pakistan after the
Pentagon report, State Department spokesman Mark Toner said: "I
would just say - and we have said - we've expressed our deep
However, Toner declined to "apologise" and in response to
persistent questioning kept repeating "I think there's a shared
responsibility in this incident, and we've said very clearly that
we accept responsibility for the mistakes that we made."
Asked what was the diplomatic distinction between 'regret' and
'apology', Toner said: "I think 'we regret' speaks to a sense of
sympathy with the Pakistani people. I don't know an apology - you
can figure that out for your own."
Toner also declined "to speak to the accuracy" of a New York Times
report that the decision not to issue an actual apology came from
the White House over the State Department's objections as an
apology would be a political liability for the president in an
election year.

Canton, Mass. – Tweeter Home Entertainment Group moved into the red in its fiscal second quarter, reporting a net loss of $2.5 million, compared with income of $2.6 million in the year-ago period.
Loss from operations in the second quarter, ended March 31, came in at to $3.3 million, compared with income from operations of $4.9 million in the same period last year.
Tweeter said operating income decreased to a negative 1.8 percent, as a percentage of revenue, compared with 2.6 percent in the same three months a year earlier. This was due to a 400-basis-point increase in selling expenses, as well as a 20-basis-point drop in gross margin from 35.7 percent, to 35.5 percent.
'Our biggest issue continued to be store traffic in the March quarter,' said Jeffrey Stone, president/CEO. 'We remain focused on taking costs out of the business through improvements in process and systems. Our financial models demonstrate solid improvements in profitability as we approach flat comps.'
Last month, Tweeter announced sales for the second fiscal quarter. (See TWICE, April 21, P.1.) Revenue at Tweeter was down 2.1 percent, to $182 million, from $185.8 million in the year-ago period. Comp-store sales slid 12 percent, excluding January and February sales for the Hillcrest chain acquired on March 1, 2002.
Tweeter, which places the video category at 52 percent of sales, audio at 30 percent, auto at 12 percent and other, including installation labor, at about 8 percent, enjoyed a year-to-year comparative increase in video in the second quarter, while audio was down a bit and auto was stable.
In flat-panel television, an $11 million pick-up in second quarter revenue was negated somewhat by the loss of $7.6 million in tube sets, said Tweeter. Flat panel currently accounts for about 12 percent of overall revenue. The category commands a higher margin than tube, but has had little effect on overall margin short-term. Yet, this will change to a higher percentage over time, said Tweeter.
The home installation business has the potential for being a growth engine, said Tweeter. Labor revenue from this business grew to 2.8 percent of sales in the quarter, from 2.2 percent.
`Inventory at the end of the second quarter was $144 million, down from $162 million at the end of the first fiscal three months. This compares favorably to last year, when Tweeter had $155 million in inventory, with 19 fewer stores. The retailer expects the inventory level at the end of the third quarter to come in at about $135 million.
The company opened 12 new stores in the past six months, with none on board for the remainder of the year and maybe only a few next year.
Tweeter, which closed on a new three-year $110 million line of credit in April, also noted the current replacement of a long-term radio-based marketing strategy with print advertising, effective in the June quarter, but starting to commence in May.
'We believe moving to this new [advertising] strategy will appeal to customers who we may have not touched with our radio campaign over the years, and bring new customers into our stores,' said Stone in an analyst conference call. 'We want to become more aggressive leading market comps,' said Stone.
'In the past, we would sit and wait for customers to come in, they would see our [advertised] price, but we would sell at the market price. The problem was this strategy was not driving sales,' said Stone.
Tweeter's new marketing campaign, which already has shown some success in tests, would let customers know about the chain's competitiveness, its product values. 'We just haven't had the vehicle to tell customers this before,' said Stone about new print ads for getting the message across.
Stone expects Tweeter will take a hit in margin, but the ads will help to solve the traffic problem. 'Although we think this change in marketing strategy will help drive traffic, our concerns regarding the underpinnings of the economy and resultant mood of the consumer and the financial markets continue to cause us to be conservative with near-term sales expectations,' said Stone.
Looking ahead to the third quarter, Tweeter is anticipating comp-store sales in the range of negative 6 percent to negative 10 percent, which will put revenue in the range of $176 million to $183 million.
Including charges in the third quarter, Tweeter expects a net loss for the three months of between $2.3 million and $3.9 million.

British audiences will get to see The Interview after all with the news that the film will get a wide theatrical release in the UK and Ireland on February 6. Sony initially withdrew the film following the major hack against the company. An outcry against that decision, led in part by President Obama who described it as "a mistake", eventually saw Sony release the film in the U.S. in select independent theatres and on various on-demand platforms, where it has made over $31 million digitally and $5 million theatrically.
For now, at least, The Interview will only be released in cinemas in the UK and Ireland. There is still no word on if, and when, the film will be released in other international territories.

Jacob W. Michaels has been gaming for 30 years, since he was introduced to Advanced Dungeons and Dragons in the third grade, when he vaguely remembers discovering a laser pistol on an expedition to the Barrier Peaks.
A newspaper editor in eastern Pennsylvania, he's a two-time finalist in Paizo's RPG Superstar, making the Top 16 in 2012 (when he garnered acclaim for his Unfettered) and 2014 (when his guttersnipe was among the top monsters). He had his first module, Ironwall Gap Must Hold, published in 2013 by AdventureaWeek.com and his work has appeared with Raging Swan Press, Jon Brazer Enterprises, Rogue Genius Games, Flying Pincushion and Wayfinder.
He lives with his faithful hound, Holiday, who hasn't inherited his interest in gaming, but enjoys when her dog friends come over during games. His parents and sister have always been supportive of his hobby, and he appreciates his wife's encouragement, even if her reaction to watching her first (and only) gaming session was "there are some things you can never unsee."

I've written before about blockchain's significant potential. A lot of the current discussion on the topic centers on cryptocurrencies and financial trading platforms, both of which are already in operation. However, my focus is on its applicability to business generally, especially in B2B commerce, where I believe there is significant potential for it to serve as a universal data connector. There's also a great deal of potential for blockchain to provide individuals with greater power in managing their identity and greasing the wheels of trade. That noted, those designing and planning to implement commerce-related blockchains must address fundamental issues if blockchain technology is to achieve its potential.
Topics: Sales, Human Capital Management, business intelligence, Business Collaboration, Internet of Things, Data, Product Information Management, Digital Commerce, Enterprise Resource Planning, blockchain, candidate engagement, collaborative computing, continuous supply chain
By itself, data isn't useful for business; the application of analytics is necessary to transform data into actionable information. Data analysis of one sort or another has long been a core competence of finance departments, applied to balance sheets, income statements or cash flow statements. Today, however, Finance must go beyond these basics by expanding the scope of the data being examined to include all financial and operational information that can yield actionable insights. Analysis thus should include, for example, data from the systems that manage sales operations, human resources and field service and that data must be available to all departments and applications that need it.
Topics: Customer Experience, Human Capital Management, Marketing, Voice of the Customer, business intelligence, embedded analytics, Learning Management, Analytics, Collaboration, Data Governance, Data Lake, Data Preparation, Information Management, Internet of Things, Contact Center, Data, Product Information Management, Sales Performance Management, Workforce Management, Financial Performance Management, Price and Revenue Management, Digital Technology, Digital Marketing, Digital Commerce, ERP and Continuous Accounting, blockchain, natural language processing, robotic finance, Predictive Planning, candidate engagement, Intelligent CX, Conversational Computing, Continuous Payroll, AI and Machine Learning, revenue and lease accounting, collaborative computing, mobile computing, subscription management, agent management, extended reality

Maternity clothes: Oh man do I ever rock the maternity pants. I only own like one or two maternity shirts so I have been wearing a lot of my stretchy tank tops and last night I found an old St. Patty's shirt that still fits!
Stretch marks: I am earning my tiger stripes! Although since starting my caladryl lotion and the tincture my midwife gave me for my PUPPPs they are starting to silver out.
Sleep: I have not been sleeping well at all. My sleep schedule is all over the place. 4 hours here and there is all I can sleep before I am wide awake again. I am thinking baby boy is getting me ready for his big arrival?
Best moment this week: We kept it simple this week. Baby boy is moving a lot more and Matt is finally starting to see and feel him move around. Especially at night or rather early in the morning. It's awesome, I was looking forward to this moment almost the entire time I have been pregnant.
Belly button in or out: Still in, for now. I am one of those people who have a really deep belly button, but here lately it is getting very shallow. So we will see what happens in the next 84 days or so.
Cravings: MyFroYo, ice cream, hash browns and eggs smothered in tabasco sauce, chocolate milk, water
What I miss: Being able to sleep on my tummy and a nice glass of red wine before bed. I can't wait to be able to sleep on my tummy again, but wine will have to wait a while.
What am I looking forward to: In 84 days give or take I will be meeting my little man. I am so excited. Next week my midwife starts her home visits to talk to Matt and I about the birthing process. Oh and I start my two week visits now too!
Milestones: He can blink his eyes, which now sport lashes. With his eyesight developing, he may be able to see the light that filters in through my womb. He's also developing billions of neurons in his brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world.

Look, I promise I won't just reblog my daughter's blogs from South Korea every time she publishes one. You're quite capable of 'following' her yourselves after all. But I 'm so excited that her first month there has been such a positive experience. And if everyday life includes ballet yoga on Wednesdays, and kimchi jjigae on any day of the week, it's worth reading about, I think.
I can't believe it's almost been a month since I arrived in South Korea. I expected to be wailing under the covers by this time, sniffling and puffy-eyed because I missed home. Not true in the slightest. These few weeks have been very strange for me…mostly because I don't feel strange here.
I imagined complete culture shock, foodshock, and oh-God-what-am-I-doing-with-my-life shock. Aside from the latter, which is felt by most people on a regular basis, I have yet to really experience any kind of shock. The language barrier is certainly very real, but it hasn't been a cause for any kind of trauma (yet), apart from a shouty taxi driver who pretended not to know where I was going. 5 minutes later, we pulled up outside my local metro station – I get the feeling he only pretended not to know so he could drive around the block for that extra 200…

France is the largest country in Western Europe and the third largest in Europe. With an area of 547,030 square kilometers (211,208 square miles), it is surpassed only by Russia and Ukraine. Roughly hexagonal in shape, it is bordered by three different bodies of water (the Atlantic Ocean, the English Channel, and the Mediterranean) and three mountain chains (the Pyrenees to the south and the Jura and Alps to the east and southeast, respectively). The tiny principality of Monaco, a self-contained enclave, lies entirely within French borders, at the far southeastern tip of the country.
France has a number of overseas departments and territories throughout the world. They are all islands except for French Guiana, on the northeast coast of South America. The northernmost of France's island dependencies, in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, is the archipelago of St. Pierre and Miquelon, consisting of two islands and a number of rocky islets. Farther south, in the Lesser Antilles, lie the tropical islands of Guadeloupe and Martinique.
Several French islands are located in the Indian Ocean. Mayotte, part of the Comoros archipelago that lies east of Mozambique, belongs to France (the other Comoros islands declared their independence in 1975). The volcanic island of Réunion, east of Madagascar, administers two other French dependencies in the Mozambique Channel: the island of Europa and the atoll of Bassas da India. France also has an overseas territory farther south in the Indian Ocean, collectively called the Southern and Antarctic Lands. The Southern Lands comprise two individual volcanic islands and two archipelagos. "Antarctic Lands" refers to a section of Antarctica called "Adelie Land." France has three dependencies in the Pacific: New Caledonia, Wallis and Futuna, and French Polynesia, which is a group of five archipelagos halfway between South America and Australia.
France's various regions have three major types of climate: oceanic, continental, and Mediterranean. Temperatures generally increase from north to south. The western part of the country, which borders the Atlantic Ocean, has a temperate, humid oceanic climate, characterized by relatively modest annual temperature variations, heavy precipitation, and overcast skies, with cool summers and winters. Average temperatures in Brest, at the tip of Brittany, are 6°C (43°F) in January and 16°C (61°F) in July. Much of eastern and central France has a continental climate, with a wider range of temperatures and greater variations between seasons. Winters are cold and snowy, and storms are frequent in June and July. Paris has an average annual temperature of 11°C (53°F). The eastern part of the country has the most severe winters.
The Mediterranean climate predominates in the south and southeast, stretching inland from the coast to the lower Rhône Valley. Winters are mild and humid, with only short periods of frost, and summers are hot and dry. Temperatures above 32°C (90°F) are common. Annual temperatures in Nice, on the Côte d'Azur, average 15°C (59°F). Southern France occasionally experiences a cold northern wind called the mistral.
Average annual rainfall in France ranges from as little as 43 centimeters (17 inches) on the Languedoc coast to 130 centimeters (50 inches) at high elevations in the mountains, on the Massif Central, and in the northwest. Annual rainfall averages 68 centimeters (27 inches) in Paris and 100 centimeters (39 inches) in Bordeaux.
Although France's topography is varied, it can be broken down into three major types of terrain. At the center of the country are the four Hercynian Massifs, with the Massif Central at their center. The higher mountain peaks of the Pyrenees, the Jura, and the Alps rise in the south and east, forming natural borders with the neighboring countries of Spain, Switzerland, and Italy. Between these geographical features are the low-lying plains of the Paris Basin and the regions to the west.
The following ten regions have been identified based on geographical and cultural factors: the Nord; the Paris Basin; the East; Burgundy and the Upper Rhine; the Alps; Mediterranean France; Aquitaine and the Pyrenees; the Massif Central; the Loire Valley and Atlantic France; and Armorica. An additional area of France is the large island of Corsica in the Mediterranean Sea.
The North Atlantic Ocean lies to the west of France, and the Mediterranean Sea to the south. In addition, a small portion of its northern coast borders the North Sea.
France has coastlines on the English Channel to the northwest and the Bay of Biscay to the west. In the north, the Seine River empties into the English Channel in the Baie de la Seine, and the Saint-Malo Gulf lies between the Côtentin Peninsula and Brittany. The western part of France's Mediterranean coast borders the Golfe de Lion.
France's largest island, and the fourth largest in the Mediterranean, is Corsica. Separated by over 160 kilometers (100 miles) of sea from the mainland, the island rises to over 1,676 meters (5,500 feet) and has a coastal plain only on its eastern side. France also has a number of islands off the Atlantic coast. The largest of these are Ouessant Island, off the tip of Brittany; Belle-Île-En-Mer, to Brittany's south; and Île de Ré and Oléron Island, both of which are near La Rochelle.
Dramatic chalk cliffs mark the northern coastline, dropping abruptly to sandy beaches that border the English Channel. There is a deep coastal indentation north of Bordeaux where the Garonne River and its tributary, the Dordogne, empty into the Bay of Biscay. Fine sand lines the beaches along this coast, and there are dunes in the southern area known as the Landes.
The shoreline on the western edge of the Golfe de Lion consists of sandbars and lagoons. Farther east are headlands and bays, and the marshland known as the Camargue. The eastern part of the Mediterranean coast is the Côte d'Azur, the famous resort area that lies between the hills of Provence and the sea.
France's inland waterways include a number of natural and artificial lakes. The largest natural lake, Lake Bourget, lies at the western edge of the Alps, as does Lake Annecy. There are also lakes in the Vosges Massif and in the valleys of the Jura Mountains. Ponds and lagoons lie along the Atlantic coast in the Landes region and the Mediterranean coast in Languedoc.
The drainage system of France is based on five major rivers. In the north, the Seine—the most gentle, regular, and navigable of French rivers—flows across the Paris Basin for 780 kilometers (485 miles). Before draining into the English Channel at Le Havre, it is joined by three tributaries: the Yonne, the Marne, and the Oise. It has a number of islands, of which the most famous is the Île de la Cité in Paris.
The Loire, whose river basin occupies the central part of France, is the longest river located entirely in France (1,020 kilometers/634 miles) and covers the largest area (115,000 square kilometers/44,400 square miles). From the Massif Central it flows northwestward to Orléans, then westward to the Atlantic.
The Garonne is the shortest of France's major rivers. It rises in the Pyrenees, across the border with Spain, and empties into the Bay of Biscay at Bordeaux. Its tributaries include the Tarn, the Aveyron, and the Dordogne.
The Rhône is the largest and most complex of French rivers. Rising in Switzerland, it gathers its major tributary, the Saône, at Lyon and flows southward through France for 521 kilometers (324 miles) of its total length of 813 kilometers (505 miles), emptying into the Mediterranean. Lastly, there is the Rhine, which is considered more a European river than specifically a French one. It flows along the eastern border for about 190 kilometers (118 miles), fed by Alpine streams. The Moselle and the Meuse, which drain the Paris Basin, are both tributaries of the Rhine that join it in neighboring countries. There also are some smaller rivers in the northeast; the best known of these is the Somme, which flows into the English Channel.
Scientists named the Jurassic Period (which occurred 145 to 208 million years ago) for France's Jura Mountains, because fossils discovered there date back to this era.
There are no deserts in France.
France's plains are mostly located in the Paris Basin to the north and in a series of lowland regions in the west. The Paris Basin is the cradle of France, occupying one-third of the nation's territory. It is centered among France's four major massifs: the Ardennes, the Vosges, the Massif Central, and the Armorican Massif. At the center of the basin lies Paris itself. Southwest of the Paris Basin, along the valley of the Loire River, lie the plains of Anjou and, to their south, Poitou. Still farther south are the lowlands of Aquitaine, including the basins of the Garonne and the Adour Rivers and the plain of Landes, which borders the Bay of Biscay. The marshes of the Camargue region, on the Mediterranean coast between the two mouths of the Rhône River, are known for unusual fauna, including the pink flamingo. They cover 787 square kilometers (304 square miles).
There are hills in many parts of France. Especially noted for their hilly terrain are the northwest region of Lower Normandy and Brittany, the Champagne region northeast of the Paris Basin, which is one of France's most famous wine-growing areas, and the southern region of Provence.
France has three major mountain systems: the Pyrenees, the Alps, and the Jura Mountains.
The Pyrenees extend for over 450 kilometers (280 miles), from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea and along the southwestern coast of France, rising above 3,048 meters (10,000 feet). The French Alps, in the southeastern part of the country, occupy 38,849 square kilometers (15,000 square miles) and include Europe's highest peak, Mont Blanc, as well as its greatest expanses of glacier and permanent snowcaps. Extending as far north as Lake Geneva and as far westward as the Rhône River, they form a natural barrier with Italy and Switzerland in the southeast. Among their various sections are the Maritime Alps, the Provence Alps, and the Dauphiné Alps. The limestone ridges of the Jura rise to 1,524 meters (5,000 feet), forming France's eastern border with Switzerland north of Lake Geneva. They cover an area of some 12,950 square kilometers (5,000 square miles), with hills in the south and high plateaus in the north, and extend into Switzerland in the northeast. Their highest peak is Mount Neige, at 1,723 meters (5,653 feet).
There are no notable caves or canyons in France.
The plateaus of the four Hercynian Massifs form a "V" shape that covers much of central France. At its midpoint is the Massif Central, which covers roughly one-sixth of the country's total area and rises to over 1,524 meters (5,000 feet). This granite plateau separates northern and southern France. The Ardennes Plateau in the northeast occupies 1,554 square kilometers (500 square miles). Open valleys lie between its ridges, traversed by the Meuse and Sambre Rivers. Southeast of the Ardennes, the Vosges Massif rises to rounded granite summits which exceed 1,219 meters (4,000 feet). The highest points in the Vosges, called ballons, are located near the Alps; the most elevated is the Ballon de Guebwiller, at 1,423 meters (4,669 feet). The Armorican Massif covers 64,750 square kilometers (25,000 square miles), thrusting out into the Atlantic Ocean and the English Channel in two rocky promontories: Brittany and the Côtentin Peninsula. Its hills seldom exceed 365 meters (1,200 feet).
Major reservoirs are found in the Massif Central (Sarrans and Bort-les-Orgues) and in the Alps (Serre-Ponçon). Many of France's cities and towns are connected by a system of canals, including the Canal du Midi, which links Toulouse in the southwest with the Languedoc coast, the Canal du Nivernais in Burgundy, and the Nantes-Brest Canal in Brittany. Canals also link the Loire and Seine Rivers.

A 39 year old man has been sentenced to ten months' imprisonment after extensive physical and mental abuse of his wife.
In Lister District Court the woman explained that her husband threatened to kill her if she did not do as he said, reports Fædrelandsvennen Friday.
The woman explained that her husband punished her by whipping her with a rope, and that this happened between 20-50 times. The man also walked around the living room with the loop of the rope tightened around her neck.
Once the girl had been forced to dine food her husband had thrown in the garbage because he himself was unhappy with it. Moreover, the woman explained that she was ordered to stand naked outside the house one night.
She also stated that she was not allowed to talk to family and friends without the husband being present and that he regularly checked her phone.
When the woman first met the District Court, she claimed that she did not remember the serious incidents that were described in the indictment against the man, the newspaper said. The day after she explained that her husband, whom she has children with, had instructed her what to say.
The man, who denies culpability, is in addition to ten months in prison, ordered to pay 60,000 kroner in compensation to the wife.

It is with great pleasure that I introduce you to a dear friend today. Kristin Reickard and I go the same church, and even attend the same small group. She and her husband were instrumental in our decision to adopt.
God has already used their testimony in big ways. I trust He will continue to do so here today.
A Family is Made
We know firsthand the sorrow, the deep pain of mourning. We also know what it is to have God turn our mourning into the oil of gladness, to be given a crown of beauty instead of ashes.
In 2004, our second child Kael Xavier was born. Our little son seemed perfect. Although he was a bit fussy, we were reassured that was normal for babies of C-sections and were allowed to bring him home. At home, though, Kael's fussiness grew, as did his jaundice. We decided to take him into the doctor a bit early.
At worst, we guessed Kael would need to be under bilirubin lights. We never could've imagined the words that would come out of the doctor's mouth… "Your son's bilirubin levels are incredibly high, which indicates his liver may be failing." Going forward in shock and utter disbelief, we found ourselves with our 11 day old son in the NICU of a Children's Hospital.
We had many ups and downs in the hospital, days we weren't sure he would pull through, surgeries with very high risks. After 51 days on this earth, our brave little Kael could no longer put forth any more fight. My husband and I were privileged to be able to be there for our son's birth, and also to hold him in his death.
Our grief was fresh, hard, and real. After Kael's autopsy, we found out the disease that caused his liver to fail was 80% likely to occur in any future biological children. This disease was almost always fatal unless an experimental treatment was used. After a year of deep grieving, we decided to go forward and try to get pregnant again. After only a few weeks of pregnancy, our third child died.
The pain was beyond words. The grieving took a toll on all of us, and my husband declared we were done having children. It was too hard to open ourselves up to that hurt again. Although we could've tried pregnancy again as well as some other options, my heart immediately was drawn to adoption. NO ONE could ever replace Kael or the unborn child we lost, but I didn't want to lose a future with other children to love on too.
Over time, the desire to adopt grew inside of me. It became so strong that I prayed for God to either change my heart or change my husband's. And God answered that prayer… He changed my husband's heart.
On our journey to beauty, we realized that so many children in the world were dying or growing up without a family, no one to guide them, protect them, or love them. They had ashes too. A fire was ignited in our hearts for the fatherless and we began our journey. We adopted our son Jaevan Jee from South Korea in 2008. And the beauty was palpable, overwhelming, and amazing. Then we adopted our daughter Aria Jiang from China in 2011. And now we are in the process of adopting 2 children from Haiti.
Each member of our family has a story of ashes, different pieces of pain and suffering because of this broken world. And God took all of our ashes and made something BEAUTIFUL out of them.
…to comfort all who mourn, and provide for those who grieve in Zion— to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. Isaiah 61:2b-3a
Let's Talk: Have any questions about adoption? Kristin is the gal to ask! Say hi. Introduce yourself. And if you get a chance, hop on over to Kristin's blog to read about their journey.

The two separate telephone conversations with his British and Norwegian counterparts focused on bilateral relations as well as Iran nuclear deal also known as the JCPOA.
The UK Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt emphasized commitment of the UK and other signatories of the JCPOA to the agreement and called for preparation and immediate implementation of the European mechanism to continue economic cooperation with Iran.
The Norwegian Foreign Minister Ine Marie Eriksen Søreide also expressed her country's support for the implementation of the JCPOA and expansion of bilateral relations.
The recent Danish government's claims on an Iranian-Norwegian citizen was another issue discussed in the phone talks and the Iranian foreign minister expressed Iran's readiness to fully cooperate with European states to discover the truth about the issue.

India's influence on the international stage is increasing, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday.
"It is because of the growing reputation and trust for India, Indians living abroad feel proud. When slogans like 'abki baar Trump sarkar' (Trump government this time) and 'abki baar Cameron sarkar' (Cameron government this time) echo, India's might is being accepted," Modi said while addressing the inaugural session of the Hindustan Times Summit.
He was referring to the campaigns of former UK Prime Minister David Cameron, who used the slogan "phir ek baar Cameron sarkar" (Gameron government once again) to woo Indian origin voters in 2015 elections, and US President Donald Trump's election campaign in 2016, inspired by the 2014 Lok Sabha election slogan "Abki baar Modi Sarkar".
"Where is India standing today, you know it well. Big or small, all countries are walking along with India, our influence on the international stage is increasing. We don't have to stop now, we have to keep moving forward," Modi said.

Do not let my smiling face fool you for TWO SECONDS. Because although the smile is genuine, and the kids and people at the party had a good time, and all was well, and Ginger was so happy, before and during this party I was A HOT FREAKING MESS. Not because things didn't turn out how I wanted them to, or for any REAL reason. But mostly because I just didn't have things ready on time, I felt rushed and behind, and silly for not having everything, perfect, and running smoothly at 11am–when the party started. It's hard being crazy.
In fact, I cried every 15 minutes the whole party. I was over-tired, over-stressed, and just not emotionally capable of having that many people I loved and felt comfortable crying in front of in one place. I just felt, stupid. So, so, so stupid. And tired. Did I mention tired?
A close friend who volunteered at Alison's Cabana Boogie showed up with her son and was dumbfounded that I was in such a state of panic and anxiety. She said, "I expected you to feel like this at the party for 600 people! Not the birthday party for 20 kids!"
And here's what I did wrong. I tried SO SO SO hard to convince myself that this wasn't work. This was personal. And because I decided it was personal, I didn't get help. I've learned that in my business life I will fail and drown if I don't find and hire help, but apparently I still think in my personal life that it's not ok to let others help me. Because I think they are all silently judging me for being so-over-the-top. Like I'm doing it for all the wrong reasons. And I can't ask for help because I've brought this on myself.
But after several days of emotional recovery, haha, here's what I've decided, YOU DON'T HAVE TO EARN HELP.
The truth is I'VE ALWAYS BEEN LIKE THIS! I do things ALL or nothing. And not for any other reason than that's the way I like to do things. Ask anyone who has known me my whole life. I planned the senior prom for crying out loud, and had a breakdown the whole time.
People can question why I do what I do, but it doesn't matter. All that matters is, I KNOW why I do what I do, and that I do what I can to protect myself and the people I love (my kids and my husband) from the negative side effects of being a compulsively festive perfectionist.
And what can I do? I can allow other people to help me.
So here's what I think. If you need help, just let people help you. If you need help and no one is offering to help you, pay someone to help you. It's ok to let people help you. It's ok to hire people to help you. For work, or for personal reasons. Are you SO MUCH more impressed with this party because I didn't have an assistant, or intern, or something like that? No. Probably not. Does it seem like I love Ginger more because I didn't let anyone help me? Um. No. No it does not!
I have people DYING to shadow me for events. They email me all the time. I could have allowed someone that opportunity. But I was too proud? Or too stressed? Or didn't think I deserved the help? Oh man. It's SO silly in retrospect. But it seemed harder to let someone help. It's easier to just do it myself. Do you ever say that? HAHA. I do all the time.
I was HORRIFIED that I didn't make sugar cookies for this party. And I was really priding myself on the fact I was going to make the cake, like I used to do (before I worked 40+ hours a week and had multiple children). But two days before the party when I couldn't get a grip on my anxiety I called the Provo Bakery and had them make the cake. OH THE SHAME. THE SHAAAAAAME. But really, that's how I felt.
I figured if I wasn't making sugar cookies or the cake, I could handle everything else with the help of my husband.
I did NOT follow my own advice in my online course Party With Alison: A step-by-step guide on how to throw any type of super fun party. I thought I was above my own party planning philosophies. And the result? A pretty party, and a very, very, sick, emotional heap of a pregnant woman crying in the shower.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother spending so much time creating things. I feel lame and like it's not that important. But after doing this party THE WRONG way, and NOT following my own advice, it made me SUPER proud of my course. It will keep other people from feeling the way I felt. It will help people throw parties they love for people they love, that are pretty AND FUN and will not cause a nervous breakdown. So I'm glad I made it. It's really awesome. Ha! But really.
Anyway. Like I said, everyone else had a great time! They really did. I kept those big glasses on, and people only knew I was crying or having a hard time because I kept telling them.
I feel like even though I was super stressed out, and going insane, I still treated people with love and kindness, and tried to focus on Ginger. This is something I've been working on for years: to not allow my anxiety dictate how I treat others. So I'm trying to focus on that accomplishment. That Ginger knows I love her, my friends know I love them, and I didn't act in a way towards anyone that I regret or am embarrassed by. So when I start getting sad I didn't get a picture of something I wanted a picture of, or embarrassed that things weren't ready or as relaxed as I would have liked them to have been, I try to remember what matters. My heart was in the right place and there was a lot of love.
Now that I have given you THE WHOLE STORY! Would you like to hear about the party?! Maybe go get a snack or something. You deserve it. But there were lots of good things going on! Haha and as usual I'll break it all down.
For kids parties I always recommend LOTS of activities. We had a jump house, a face painter, the tea party, a tea cup decorating station and a cotton candy machine. There was tea time sandwiches, food and treats, fruit, and lemonades with fruit/sprite ice cubes. I KNOW SUE ME. The activities don't have to be quite so lavish, but try throwing a 600-person dance party and then scaling back to reasonable levels 2 weeks later. It's hard.
I got these mugs for .99 each at Ikea. I used Martha Stewart all-surface paint because it's dishwasher safe on glass after 21 days of "curing" or sitting. Did I tell my guests this? No. No I was too busy crying. But now you know.
They were pretty cute about it.
So as guests arrived we gave them cotton candy and let them jump in the bounce house and paint mugs. When everyone was there we served the tea! I made a place for each kid. I have all these side tables from Ikea, and I bought some mini chairs for Club Alison. And they make the PERFECT kids table. The chairs weren't cheap and I got them on some random supply store, but the tables, as you know, are super cheap! Like $8.
Ginger's adorable tiger dress from Hum Stitchery inspired the tiger design that I did for the top of tea cups and on the signs around the party. But because I totally ripped the design off from the fabric artist, I won't sell or give away the tiger designs. Just for personal use. If they made paper or other products I would have bought it! It just wasn't available. This is the super cute fabric though!
I taped the tag of the tea bag to the tiger circle design, and that way each cup had a tea bag resting in it ready to go! And I was able to tie in the tigers without having to use something lame that I didn't like.
For tea time treats I made cucumber sandwiches and per the birthday girl's request sandwiches with "meat and cheese and miracle whip." I also had cookies, lots of fruit, and lemonade with ice cubes made with Sprite and fruit and some with mint leaves.
Because the ice cubes were made with Sprite and fruit when they melted it added super yummy flavors to the drink.
I bought a bag of those styrofoam glitter balls, in orange, and just stuck toothpicks in them. I got those at Hobby Lobby, it was a bag of hundreds for like $4.
I used peppermint and chamomile herbal tea for the kids. And I also chose to do sugar cubes instead of honey. This was great because it wasn't a sticky mess, and kids were sneaking sugar cubes left and right feeling like sneaky tea bandits. I spray painted a few plastic tea cups orange to put on the tables to hold to sugar cubes. One other thing I did that worked really well was freeze lemon slices in water. So when the kids had their hot tea we immediately put an ice cube with lemon in it so they wouldn't burn their tiny tongues.
Rad was stoked.
Also if you don't want your kids to eat sugar DO NOT bring them to my parties.
I mean I wasn't lying, people had a good time!
As I said Provo Bakery made the cake, but I made some cupcakes that started to melt in the sun.
I really love my Ginger girl. And I love cake.
I also love my man. Working that cotton candy machine like a pro. He requests to do so now! haha
The kids had a blast jumping and being turned into tigers. Because if you have kids you know that the actual drinking of tea for this age group lasts about 10 minutes max. So it was good there was LOTS for them to do. I probably could have just gotten a bounce house and $5 pizza…but I mean. That's beside the point.
It was also extra fun having my sister there with her kids (in town from San Diego) because our kids are all best friends. How cute is Walker with his tiger?!
Rad refused to have his face painted. But I didn't mind. His kisses calm the soul.
And here's the whole roaring gang!
Haha! I had all the kids take home the toy tigers and tiger balloons, as well as the tea cups they painted. I do stuff like that instead of doing traditional favor bags. It's all about killing as many birds with one stone as possible. That is of course when you're already being a tad bit crazy to start with? Haha. Again, it's all in Party With Alison!
Ok. Want to see Ginger's other birthday parties?!
4: Ginger's Unicorn Parade, 3: Ginger's Puppet Theater, 2: The Pony Party, 1: The Fancy Pants Party.
Part of my break down might have been that it's getting a bit too hard to manage parties like this for people much older than 5, so this one kind of felt like the end of an era. For my Ginger girl at least. But I mean, never say never right?

Hate the Giants? Over the Patriots? Unless "your team" is in it, a lot of people tune in to the Super Bowl simply to watch the ads. Here is a list of this year's Super Bowl advertisers.
What can Guerrilla Marketers learn from watching Super Bowl ads? Plenty. I've already blogged what the NFL can teach us about marketing (and it's a lot). I believe the ads give a serious indication about the state of our country, and the current marketing trends. Let's face it… if you are going to spend over $3M per half minute to spread your message, you are going to try to get the most creative minds in the industry to help you tell your story in 30 seconds. Sometimes they win and, a lot of the time, they lose.
What can the ads tell us about the country and our culture? It certainly paints a picture of what we like (food, beer, cars, etc.), but it also tells us what is happening. Ten years ago? The Dot Com companies ruled the night. The last couple of years, during the recession? Soda, chips, candy bars and fast food – inexpensive comfort items – took prevalence. I guess the real question is… How many candy bars do you need to sell to recoup the $3+ million spent in advertising?
Most of us don't have the budget to get the publicity the Super Bowl brings. So, what should the crafty Guerrilla Marketer do? Watch and take notes.
What is the message?
Is there a common theme running this year? In other words, who do the big agencies think they are targeting? (think Dot Coms versus comfort items)
Will we see the classical brand advertising, trying to build loyalty to their products?
Or, will they use the most watched television event of the year to direct viewers to their websites, text a code or to download their app?
Are we swaying from branding (traditionally national ads) to call-to-action (traditionally local ads), thanks to the digital age?
This year, I'm curious how the Coca-Cola Polar Bears will react in "real time" to the game. This new campaign was designed to encourage viewers to check out Coke's online presence, including Facebook, Twitter and mobile apps. The idea is to be wherever your target audience is; on our televisions, laptops, tablets and smart phones.
As a Guerrilla marketer, don't forget to watch the reactions from your fellow viewers. What made them stop, look and listen? What did they talk about after the game, or at the water cooler the next day? Which could they recall… and, which made them laugh, but couldn't tell you who the company was? Who will be the winners and losers?
Your Guerrila Marketer,
Rick Verbanas

Event Description:
My grandfather passed away at one o'clock pm, and at 1:30 pm a sheep began to stare in through the window of the house. The sheep was on the side of the house by the road, and it would not run away from dogs, cars or people. It never moved from the spot until my grandfather was buried. When we arrived home from the funeral, he was still there, but the minute I opened the door of the house, it finally moved and ran down the road. While it was there, it did not move, even when cars where trying to park for the wake. It did not even move to eat grass or drink water. It stayed there for three days and nights. We even checked it during the night, and it was still in the same position. How do you explain that?

News Release
For Immediate Release
Crime Gun Intelligence Center Uses NIBIN Technology To Arrest Violent Shooter
DENVER ?District Attorney (DA) Mitchell R. Morrissey of the city and county of Denver, Special Agent in Charge Luke Franey of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Denver Field Division, and Chief of the Denver Police Department (DPD) Robert White announce the arrest of Anthony Dennis of Denver, Colo., for attempted murder and burglary stemming from three shooting incidents that occurred on Jan. 27, and Jan. 29, 2015.
An arrest affidavit filed by an ATF Task Force Officer alleges that Dennis committed the following crimes:
C.R.S. 18-3-102: Criminal Attempted Murder, (F2)
C.R.S. 18-4-202: Criminal Attempted First Degree Burglary, (F3)
During this incident, it is alleged that Dennis attempted a residential burglary in the 3300 block of Milwaukee Street and fired multiple shots at a homeowner after being confronted. Shell casings from this scene were recovered and entered into the National Integrated Ballistic Information Network (NIBIN).
C.R.S. 18-4-202: First Degree Burglary, (F2)
C.R.S. 18-9-202: Aggravated Cruelty to Animals, (F6)
During this incident, it is alleged that Dennis committed a residential burglary in the 3600 block of Monroe Street, shot and injured the homeowner's Bernese mountain dog, and stole multiple items of personal property. Shell casings from the scene were recovered and entered into the NIBIN system.
C.R.S. 18-4-102: Criminal Attempt Murder, (F2)
C.R.S. 18-4-202: Criminal Attempt Assault in the First Degree, (F4)
C.R.S. 18-4-206: Felony Menacing, (F5)
Dennis was charged Feb. 11, 2015, in a separate filing for the above referenced charges. It is alleged that Dennis had a dispute with a male individual in the 3300 block of North Josephine Street, and fired multiple rounds at the victim. Shell casings were recovered and entered into the NIBIN system.
The shell casings recovered at the 3300 Block of North Josephine Street matched the shell casings recovered during the Jan. 27 shooting incidents. The case was assigned to the Crime Gun Intelligence Center for a follow-up investigation. Using the matches generated through NIBIN, and other investigative techniques including Shot Spotter technology, ATF and Denver Police determined the same firearm was used in all three shooting incidents and identified Dennis as the suspect in these crimes.
"The collaborative effort between ATF, DPD, and the DPD Crime Lab allowed us to determine the shooter's identity within days. Dennis is a dangerous, habitual shooter with no regard for life or safety. The Crime Gun Intelligence Center leveraged NIBIN technology quickly, which allowed our investigators to explore leads before they went cold," said ATF Special Agent in Charge Luke Franey.
"Thanks to Denver Police's partnership with the ATF, Dennis was quickly apprehended for his violent crimes. Through the NIBIN technology, we are able to attribute three shootings to Dennis," said Denver Police Chief Robert White. "Knowing that Dennis' criminal behavior could have escalated, we are thankful that together, we were able to take a violent criminal off the streets, thus making our community safer."
"This is a great collaboration between metro police departments, the Denver Crime Lab, the ATF and our office to help take crime guns off the streets and hold violent criminals using these guns accountable for their crimes," said Denver DA Mitch Morrissey.
The Crime Gun Intelligence Center is a partnership between ATF, Denver Police Department, Aurora Police Department, Lakewood Police Department, the District Attorney's Offices for Denver, Arapahoe, Adams, and Jefferson counties, and the U.S. Attorney's Office. The Crime Gun Intelligence Center uses cutting edge technology and a dedicated investigative team to stop shooters and identify their source of crime guns before they can commit further criminal acts.
A filing of charges itself is not evidence that the defendant committed the crimes charged. The defendant is presumed innocent until the Government meets its burden in court of proving guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

1.1.1 Map style
The maps can be customized in their appearance.
For this there are parameters such as type, color, saturation, luminosity ... Which can be defined in the master of map styles.
The nuances, saturation and luminosity model.
In the maps with styles, the nuance, saturation and luminosity (HSL) model is used to indicate color within the operations of style parameters. These operations to define color are common in graphic design. Hue indicates the basic color, saturation indicates the intensity of that color, and lightness indicates the relative amount of white or black in the constituent color.
While hue supports a HTML hexadecimal color value, it only uses that value to determine the basic color, not its saturation or brightness, which are indicated separately.
RGB hue values consisting of equal parts of red, green and blue, such as "# 000000 (black) and" #FFFFFF "(white) and all pure gray shades, do not indicate a hue, since none of those values indicate an orientation in the HSL coordinate space. To indicate black, white or gray, you must completely eliminate saturation (add the value -100) and adjust lightness.
In addition, by modifying existing features that already have a color scheme, changing a value as hue does not change its existing saturation or lightness.
All the documentation on the style of maps Here
Online style editor Here
1.1.2 SQL statement
The SQL statement that contains the center of the map is defined in the main box
The center of the map can be a point or a set of points depending on the content of the layers.
Normally the sentence that determines the center, will be very similar to the one contained in the series to center the map in the same place where points are being placed.
Here are some examples of sentences to center the map.
You want to show the center of a specific client, given the GPS coordinates.
<select> <columns> 'POINT(' || REPLACE(customer.gps_lon,',','.') || ' ' || REPLACE(customer.gps_lat, ',','.') || ')' zone </columns> <from table='customer' /> <where> customer.customerid = '#customerid' </where> </select>
If the database is geometric, the same sentence would be:

Veronika Ágnes Fáncsik was born on March 21, 1972, in Budapest, Hungary.
She received her basic musical training between 1976 and 1986 in piano, clarinet, solfège and music theory in Székesfehérvár, Hungary, where she also wrote her first compositions at the age of eleven.
Following her period of musical training at the conservatory in Szombathely, where she majored in solfège- music theory (graduating in 1990) and in composition (graduating in 1991), from 1991 to 2000 she studied at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Vienna composition (1991–97, diploma with distinction) with Iván Erőd and Kurt Schwertsik as well as music theory (1995–2000, diploma with dis-tinction) with Diether de la Motte, Marie-Agnes Dittrich and Hartmut Fladt. During her studies she was awarded several grants and in June 2000 was presented with an honorary prize by the Austrian Federal Ministry of Education, Science and Culture in Vienna for extraordinary artistic achievement on graduation.
From 1998–2000 she worked as a music critic (for opera, music theatre and CDs) for the first Ger-man-language music magazine on the Internet, Online Musik Magazin.

In 2012 she moved from Vienna to Berlin, Germany, where since 2014 she has taught music theory at the Berlin University of the Arts. One of her main teaching activities centres on the preservation and further development of Zoltán Kodály's ideas on music education and in the relative solmisation anchored in this.

In the competition staged by the National Cultural Fund of Hungary and Hungary's National Office of Cultural Heritage in 2002 she was commissioned to compose the cantata Four Episodes of the Year which was premiered by the choir and orchestra of the conservatory in Szombathely. In 2004 she was asked to compose the Grafenau Hymn for the Grafenau Arts Festival. For her Elegy for String Quartet she was given Special appraisal and recognition in the Composition Competition of the Province of Burgenland 2008; the piece was premiered by the ALEA Quartet in the award-winners' concert as part of the Haydn Festival Eisenstadt in 2009.
