The ugly cost of Magenta
Currently, HP’s Magenta ink for its Photosmart 8200 series sells for $9.99 at most stores along with the required Y, Lc, Lm, B, and C inks at the same price. However, HP only puts 3.5ml in the M cartridge, 4ml in the C, 5.5ml in the Lc and Lm, and 6ml in the Y. … There are 3,785 ml in a gallon, making the final price for magenta ink an astronomical $10,788/gal!

Although few details of the attack are known, reports claim that the police confiscated some of the church’s belongings and one Christian, Wang Mingwei, was taken to the police station. Investigations into the incident are continuing.

I wonder...
…if you “shh!” as loudly as you can, is that an oxymoron?
Yeah! What Will said
Jessica left to spend some time with her mom today - so I had the opportunity to take in the Giants-Eagles game with William. Here is what he said after the first touchdown.
Will: “Go Giants!”
Dad: “Go Giants!”
Will: “Go Yankees!”
Dad: “Go Yankees!”
Will: “Go Mama!”
Dad: “Go…huh?…yeah, Go Mama!”

Gammons on what the Red Sox are paying Matsuzaka:
Obviously, the combined $103.1M over six years is a $17.2M AAV…but because of the system, it is, in reality, far less than that because the posting process gave the Red Sox an exclusive right to negotiate. (Source)
Huh?
According to Peter Gammons, the Red Sox are paying $103 million total for Matsuzaka. However, because...
Comments were eaten for dessert!
If you post a comment on our site and then it doesn’t show that you left a comment well then fear not! We have a program running in the background called Akismet that is there to block spam. Being a computer program it doesn’t really do a good job understanding what is spam and what is a comment thus it guesses rather poorly.
And I’ve been kinda slow on checking the spam...
The ugliness of newsvine
And I suppose it is the ugliness of any site that allows the users the ability to converse about various news topics. I have recently stumbled upon newsvine and I really like the “eye-candy” look of the site. It is easy to read, has lots of links to various related stories, and it allows me to stay the course with topical searches and get a quick read on what is happening in the...

At the Kids of Courage website there are the top 10 Bold Believer stories. Here is my favorite.
#2- China: Jesus Forever
Chinese police raided a Sunday school class of more than 30 children and took them to the police station in a large van. At the station, the children were taken into a room for questioning. A policeman began to threaten them. He told them they could not leave until they...
Things You Don't Hear Every Day
“Grouchier!” coached my dear, very sweet, totally awesome husband.
Yes, he was talking to me. I got actual direction—not acceptance, not complacency, not even surrender, but direction—to be grouchier!
He’s been sick…could it be fever setting in? No…he seemed otherwise lucid.
Overwhelming sarcasm that could no longer be held at bay? No…he was...
Express line slowdowns...my fault?
I’ve got this very bad cold right now. And when I’m sick and can’t breathe I usually can’t sleep. So last night I turned on the TV and saw the local 11 o’clock news. One story (I think the only one) that piqued my interest was one about express line slowdowns. To quote:
It’s one of my little pet peeves,” says shopper John Walls. He adds,...
Arwen's Wild Adventure, Continued...
I got the call from Mike as I was leaving the office. Arwen was AWOL and he had no leads at the time. Frantic, I rushed home as quickly as possible given evening traffic, praying for her safe return the entire time.
Pulling into the driveway, I saw a man standing between our yard and our neighbor’s yard looking out of place but in an innocent way. I knew he didn’t belong to the...
I must ask...
Why is it that when you are chopping garlic you can’t get the smell off your hand using soap and water, but when you rub your hand on the kitchen faucet the smell mysteriously disappears??

What is persecution?
Are you being persecuted? If so, how?
On persecution blog, the author posed this same question with a response that it all depends on how you define it. Here is the response to that comment:
At first glance I honestly couldn’t believe I was being asked that question, and I referred them back to this site. However, upon further reflection I guess I can see how someone who leads a...
Arwen's wild adventure
Arwen is our cute and adorable cocker spaniel. Timid and yet very playful. She enjoys a bright orange stuffed pig we got for her recently, and I like to throw it and she goes and chases it. William has begun to pick up on the game, and was throwing it around the room on Tuesday night. He threw it one time and knocked over my cup of water. Now it was during the game of fetch-the-pig that I was...
