Messing: With my new-ish phone
Sony Ericsson W890i.
Hehehe. My new phone was an after thought. It was the slimmest phone from Sony Ericsson when I wanted one; early May 2008. So this is what I was stuck with.
But oh, do I learn to love it. I love slim phones and boy is this one slim with aluminum casing! I love aluminum casing... Shuttle (I call it Giskard) is aluminum too.
Read the complete review at mobilehypermarket.
I will say, Sony Ericsson has come a long way. This is oh, so gorgeous!
Blue tooth to Mac:
Sharing, click on all 3.
Devices--> Setup new device (but don't connect via mobile). What I do is just X the window prior to that. Turn bluetooth off/on. It works! There you have it!

What is Siam Sterling?
This website explains it really well. https://salamanderalley.com/blogs/under-the-leaves/what-is-siam-sterling-jewelry
Read the article here:
WHAT IS IT
Siam sterling jewelry is sterling silver jewelry made in Thailand and depicts the characters of mythology and from the Ramakien (the Thailand national story) as well as the story of Mekhala and Ramasoon. It was manufactured with two different combinations - Sterling / Niello and Sterling / Enamel. For our purposes here, I will be focusing on Niello.
WHAT IS NIELLO
It is the black part of the Siam Sterling jewelry and can be confused with Damascene. Niello is made from silver, copper, sulphur, lead and ammonium chloride. It is applied while Damascene is not.
Damascene is the art of inlaying one metal into another with the black base usually being a black oxidized steel.
WHEN WAS SIAM STERLING JEWELRY MADE
It was made from approximately 1926 until 1989. I know, not what a lot of people think when they see the word 'Siam', falsely thinking that this name dates the piece.
What differentiates the pieces is by how they are marked. Here is a general guideline for marks:
No markings - 1926 - 1935
Sterling - 1926 - 1946
Siam Silver - late 1940s
Handmade in Siam - Early 1950s
Made in Siam - 1940s
Siam Sterling - Early 1950s - mid 1960s
Sterling Thailand - 1965 to present
The bulk of the jewelry made has been made since 1965.
IS IT ALL HAND ENGRAVED
No. Some is hand engraved while some is stamped and in a few VERY rare cases, it was cast. Often it is a mixture of stamped sterling and finishing touches are hand done.
Take a 10x loupe and view the indentations of the design inside the Niello area. If it is hand carved the deepest part of the line will be sharp, not rounded. Check more than one line.
Often the piece is stamped and then the open work edge is finished off (enhanced) by hand. The most common pieces are stamped.
WHAT'S IT WORTH
That is a loaded question and it depends on what you have. If you have one of the small lightweight link bracelets marked Siam Sterling...not much. If you have a small narrow bracelet marked Sena...then you have something.
Obviously all the jewelry has worth dependent upon the price of silver. What adds worth above and beyond the silver is the design, the workmanship, the rarity, and how it is marked.
These are my favorite makers and I'm willing to pay more for these names...
Thai Nakon
Margrett
Sena
Alex & Co
Yap Kui Kee
Ratanabha
Amfarco
One more comment on worth - that is suites (sets). These are rare and expect to pay well for them. Most of the jewelry made was made to be sold as individual pieces.

How To: Clear Clogged HP Workforce Printer Head
Youtube videos watched and to copy:

I also read this article: https://blog.inkjetwholesale.com.au/printer-maintenance/blocked-printer-head-printer-head-cleaning-process-explained/
The basic ideas from the 2 videos are:
- Print Head Nozzle Check, which colours are having nozzle problem?
- Try the Printer's maintenance - clean nozzle head. Are the nozzles still clogged after this?
- Get the printer head in a loose mode (not stuck in "home"). Put the printer to print and immediately plug the power off.
- Remove the ink cartridges and in saran wrap (this method can keep the ink for a while).
- Create an absorbent below the printer head. Use a Kitchen towel that has been folded into the same size and move the printer head above it (lift it up and slide it to the right).
- Push warm (almost hot) liquid through each individual noozle. Use a medication dispenser syringe with a tube stuck to the front.
- LOOP: Keep changing the kitchen towel at the bottom and keep pushing warm liquid into each noozle until the liquid runs clear as seen on the kitchen towel.
- Put everything back.
- Print Head Noozle Check.
WHAT I DID:
- Put the printer to COPY and immediately plug the power off.
- Remove the ink cartridges & soft vacuum pack then seal quickly before it ends.
- Use a Kitchen towel that has been folded into the same size and move the printer head above it (lift it up and slide it to the right).
- Use a baby medicine dispenser syringe and keep the adaptor at the front. It is the perfect size for the noozle, see fig. 1.
- Push warm (almost hot) WATER through each individual noozle. I did not want to use any solution and took the advice from inkjetwholesale article to use either water / alcohol so as not to damage the sponge underneath. Warm to almost hot water worked wonders for me.
- I use 4ml water for each noozle every single time. In order to keep the water from flowing out and/or flowing into the pan, I find 4ml the best.
- I use 4ml water for 2 noozles and then change the kitchen towel underneath. I find this the most efficient method as the kitchen towel is not soaked through (which will then be hard to remove as it will be all soggy) and yet utilises the kitchen towel to its best maximum capacity.
- LOOP: Keep changing the kitchen towel at the bottom and keep pushing warm liquid into each noozle until the liquid runs clear as seen on the kitchen towel.
- Let the printer to dry for 24 hours.
- Put all the cartridges & power back.
- Print Head Noozle Check.
SO... In the end I caved and bought a universal print head cleaning kit for $14 and it works wonders!
NOTE: To make sure this doesn't happen again in the future, print one full colour page at least once a week.
