Downtown isn't one neighborhood. It's a neighborhood full of neighborhoods.
Downtown isn't one neighborhood. It's a neighborhood full of neighborhoods.
Take the Town Street-Franklin Avenue area, a pocket neighborhood of brick apartment buildings, lush trees and well-kept century-old homes nestled between the heart of Downtown and I-71.
It's here where Andy Henn manages 193 apartments and tends to his own contributions to the neighborhood: ground-hugging monkey grass, towering pampas grass and flowering pear trees that line the street.
Henn wanted the street to look "just so." And so it does.
"That's the look it needs to be," he said.
Wendy Jones also lives Downtown. She, her husband and their four children moved from Dublin a year ago.
"We love it," Jones said.
Suburban kids? In Downtown Columbus?
Sure. There's no "typical" Downtown resident.
The Belmont Apartments that Henn manages reflect that. Students at the nearby Columbus College of Art & Design and Franklin University rent units for $275 a month. And there are older people with modest incomes.
In other areas, it's well-to-do professionals buying upscale condominiums or paying pricey rents near Capitol Square.
Mayor Michael B. Coleman lives Downtown. So does Ohio Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner.
And while Miranova and Waterford Tower might dominate the residential skyline, there are subsidized high-rise apartments for older residents along Rich Street as well as the Commons at Grant, 100 apartments for poor and formerly homeless residents tucked into Downtown's southeast corner.
Ten years ago, 3,662 people lived Downtown. Today, the estimate is approaching 5,000.
Community Research Partners reported in 2008 that more than 75 percent of Downtown residents rented, and most made less than $50,000 a year.
Matt and Susan Ungar moved into their condominium in the Brunson building on N. High Street near Long Street in 2006. The condos there are listed at more than $300,000.
Mr. Ungar said they can bike or walk anywhere, including to dinner and Clippers games.
He recently went to a seminar at Ohio State University about creating new urban communities. "I already live in that type of utopia," said Ungar, a consultant who used to own Functional Furnishings in the Short North.
Wendy Jones said her four children - three sons, 14, 10 and 3, and an 8-year-old daughter - have adjusted well to their S. 5th Street home between Rich and Main streets, one of four condos her husband, Mark, converted from two 1880s-era homes.
She said she "dragged" her urban husband to the suburbs after they married, but they wanted to downsize in recent years. They moved from a 4,500-square-foot house to their 1,540-square-foot condo.
Her children attend school in Upper Arlington, where her former husband lives.
Mrs. Jones, 45, the marketing director for the Junior Library Guild near Plain City, said she had to convince some suburban parents that it was OK for their kids to visit her kids Downtown.
There are plenty of places for them to explore, she said, including Topiary Park, one of many Downtown parks.
What it does lack is retailers. The demise of Columbus City Center mall didn't help.
And Downtown still lacks a cohesive fabric, said Cleve Ricksecker, executive director of the Capital Crossroads Special Improvement District.
"By that I mean it needs hundreds of small-scale investors to come in and fix up buildings, one storefront at a time," Ricksecker said. "But it's an incremental process. You can't speed it up."
Still, developers continue to build about 300 housing units a year Downtown, Ricksecker said. That includes Lifestyle Communities' Annex at RiverSouth, a town-house development along S. Front Street. Part of the project was supposed to be condos before the market soured.
Instead, many condos are being rented.
"Apartments are hot Downtown," said local developer Kyle Katz.
"Downtown will eventually see as many as a dozen neighborhoods emerge, small pockets with significant populations," Ricksecker said.
And as neighborhoods continue to emerge and grow, retailers will follow, he said.
That's what Mary Logsdon would like to see. Logsdon, who has lived in her Town Street apartment for 38 years, remembers walking to work at Lazarus, where she was a clerk.
"It was just handy," said Logsdon, 71. "It was just easy to get around."
The mayor agrees. He moved Downtown after announcing that he and his wife were getting a divorce.
"It was important for me to walk the talk," said Coleman, an unabashed Downtown booster who has pushed residential expansion through incentives for developers.
"We're trying to attract the young and the talented," said Coleman, who lives in the Sixty Spring building on E. Spring Street.
Brunner, who moved Downtown six years ago, said she and her neighbors get together every now and then, including at Halloween.
"I love hearing church bells," said Brunner, who has lived in her E. Gay Street condominium for six years.
In 1993, Henn moved to Columbus from New York City, where he still has an apartment.
He said the house he found on Franklin Avenue appealed to him. "It reminded me of a New York brownstone."
Just so.

Sanjini is an Actress, Writer, Producer, Martial Artist
Additional fitness information from T.C. Clay!
SANJINI is an avid proponent of fitness, sports, health, beauty and good nutrition.
Working out at the gym five to six days a week is what I love to do! When I miss a day of working out, I feel like I missed out on some fun!
I don't have a specific plan or routine when I work out. I spontaneously choose a weight machine that catches my eye at that moment. On some days, I'll look in the mirror and know that I need to focus more on my butt or legs or abs.
I like to work out alone. I find it difficult to work with a trainer or a partner even though I know some of the top athletes in the world including men on covers of fitness magazines and football players. I am also not like most women – I do not enjoy taking group classes because I have little patience to follow a teacher and don't like being told what to do for an hour or two. I like freedom to do my own thing. So I don't take aerobics, spinning, fitness dance classes, etc. I prefer to work out where the men work out!
Because I have natural curves, I work out to "shape" my body more than for power or increasing strength. I used to lift heavy weights (600 lbs leg press, 500 lbs hack squat), but now I lift weights to tone my body and maintain my curves at the same time.
I mostly use the weight machines and some free weights. I focus on mostly the lower body – legs, butt, abs! That is where most women carry fat but yet I see women mostly focus on working out their upper bodies. The same is true with men. Weight machines and free weights help to trim, cut the fat and tone the body much faster, along with some cardio - more than any group exercise class or circuit training.
The best exercise in the world is doing SQUATS!!! It works the butt, legs, upper thighs, hips, lower back, waist, abs and works the core or chi energy. I usually will do three or four sets of squats (10 reps) and then I will follow that with doing lunges (two or three with each leg – set of 10 reps each).
With each rep, I always breathe out. It is so important to breathe when you exercise and train with weights.
For the legs, I like the leg press and leg curl machines. I also like working the inner and outer thighs. Doing calf exercises are important too.
For the butt, use every weight machine you can find – the butt blaster is one of the best!
Of course, you should always do ABS, ABS, ABS!!! You can never do enough of them! You should work the abs almost every day - doing dozens of sit ups and anything that trims the waist and lower back.
With some weight machines or dumb bells, I will use heavier weights and less repetitions (ten) and with others, I will use lighter weights and more repetitions (20-50) depending on which part of my body I am working on.
Besides the gym, I love martial arts! The style I train in is Shaolin Kempo which is a Chinese form of martial arts that focuses on different strikes, defensive maneuvers, take downs, etc. I like it because it is both an art and a sport. There are five animals in this system – tiger, leopard, snake, crane and dragon. Last year, I got my black belt at the Shaolin Temple in China and trained with the Shaolin Monks. The Shaolin Monks will act in my next movie – a modern day action/adventure film about the Monks set at the Shaolin Temple and Shanghai.
I keep everything balanced – I eat a lot, sleep a lot (8 hours) and exercise a lot to keep myself balanced and healthy.
Working out at the gym, martial arts, some boxing, yoga, meditation and self-reiki helps keep me balanced.
I have been a vegetarian all my life although I did eat a bit of meat when I was younger. I realized when I was sixteen years old, when I first came to the United States to study at college, that it was not what I enjoyed eating. I have also weighed the same most of my life – 92-93 lbs.
I basically eat whatever I like which means it's what my body needs at the time. I "listen" to my body. I usually eat savory foods with salt and lots of spices. Yes, sometimes I do eat French fries and pizza but it's not what I enjoy eating every day.
I really don't understand why salt, wheat (gluten), butter (dairy products) and everything that naturally grows on this Earth is so bad? A balance of everything is important! I don't understand why people will cut out all fat or all carbohydrates out of their diet when your body needs every food group – carbohydrates, starches, glucose, fat, proteins, vitamins, minerals, etc.
I also eat natural foods. I don't consume vitamin pills or tablets, supplements or any artificial additives. If you want extra vitamin C then eat more oranges! Everything is naturally in the foods we eat – fresh vegetables, fruits, beans, lentils, grains, herbs, spices, etc. I also don't take over-the-counter pills such as aspirin, tylenol, etc. I don't get migraines or any aches. People keep popping these pills in their mouths when the reason for their pain is that they probably haven't slept well, eaten well or exercised.
I also don't like artificial condiments such as mayonnaise, salad dressings, spaghetti sauces, etc. They are filled with junk and lots of corn syrup. I avoid foods with corn syrup. I am not a fan of sweets and sugar. For example, I will make my own salad dressing with olive oil, lemon or lime, salt, pepper and fresh herbs (fresh dill, basil, others), etc.
Butter and cheese are good for you! I don't understand why people will not eat butter or cheese but will fill their sandwiches or food with other unhealthy condiments such as ketchup, mayonnaise, salad dressings and mustard.
I like to eat a "colorful" plate of food – that has different colors and varieties of food. All the nutrition is in every vegetable, fruits, lentils, beans, grains, nuts, dairy products (cheese, butter, yoghurt), eggs, pasta, breads and if you eat meat then fish, seafood, chicken, turkey, etc.
Make a point of eating or trying every vegetable out there – beetroots, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, mushrooms, potatoes, kale, lettuce, spinach, yellow squash, zucchini, green beans, radicchio, endives, leeks, etc. Flavor the vegetables just as much as you do with your meat or seafood – with olive oil, herbs, spices, salt, etc.
I eat several times a day – quick small meals. I am constantly eating! I have a quick metabolism so when I have not eaten in a while, my blood sugar level lowers and I get angry or frustrated easily.
Also, I love very black, hot tea! Green tea is also good. Tea has natural anti-oxidants and is a very good way to start your day. I take a long time sipping my tea in the mornings. Drinking and sipping tea is a ritual in many cultures – China, Japan, England, India, many African countries, etc. When I drink tea – it's a form of "meditation" for me. It helps to keep me relaxed, focused, gives me clarity and prepares me for my busy day. It's also when I get many insights and inspirations on how to solve a problem. Read the book, "Mediations with Tea" by Diana Rosen.
There is NO fast track or short cut to losing weight or being healthy – eating healthy foods, exercising, sleeping eight hours and a healthy, safe sex life (use condoms, spermicides, nonoxynol 9, VCF strips, water based lubricants - NO petroleum or oil based lubricants) is also important! Don't fill your body with junk, smoke, drugs, etc. Your body is your temple – honor it!
Equally charismatic and energetic, TC Clay is a fitness professional with 20+ years of group exercise and personal training experience under her belt. She is a renowned innovator and motivator of diverse individuals and groups. Whether it is squatting, lunging, weightlifting, toning, or burning core and abs into a "six pack attack," her passion is taking people to places and spaces undiscovered in their quests for fitness. In her own words, "I specialize in creating a better body naked."
But most of all, she takes pride in looking the part. Plain and simple, she knows how to work out! Her methods may be unconventional, but they work, and she is happy to put her practical experience up against the latest trend or theory any day!
I am a big believer that you are what you repeatedly do. The body is like a car that needs to be taken out and driven frequently.
I know it sounds cliche, but "use it or lose it"- and you can lose it in just 3 months without regular participation in physical activity. That's why I echo the sentiments of the Surgeon General and the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America (AFAA) and urge Americans to exercise with moderate (or higher) intensity for 30 minutes, 5 times per week.
Additionally, this amount of physical activity will serve to reduce and improve one's blood pressure and serum cholesterol; both of which are risk factors for atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
For those who wish to go beyond mere maintenance, I recommend lunges, lunges, lunges. Not only is it the best exercise for the butt, it is a multi-joint exercise that burns a great deal of calories when done properly. Lunges are a staple in my personal fitness routine, and I can't live without them! (Ditto for squats, squats, squats!)
Here is a quick daily fitness routine you can do:
Dips Dips,
Crunches Core
Abs-Hanging leg ups,
Single leg squats off a curb,
Squats Squats,
Lunges Lunges.
These body exercises are secret weapons to a successful Better Body Naked!
Protein is a must, but make sure you are consuming complete proteins like poultry and eggs. My favorite is lean seafood.
I am a proponent of the 80/20 rule: Eat lean and healthy 80% of the time (veggies, fruits, lean protein, whole grains, etc.), and for the other 20%, have a little fun.
However, the most important dietary rule I live by is that one should always be prepared to "pay the piper." The reason I have stayed this lean for this long is that when I completely slip up and binge (yes, even trainers are human...), I get up the next day and do something about it! If you don't give excess calories a chance to feel welcome, then they can't make a home on your backside.

This is a early 90s Carvin doubleneck. It is, as far as I know, the only 6/12 that has the tuners on the 12 string neck inline. It makes for a very weird looking headstock... it looks more like a shovel.
It appears to be the same as the guitar on this catalog page from 1990.
The 12 inline was a option, the 6+6 was standard. The microswitch is the neck selector.
It's very heavy. The neck feels like a cross between an Ibanez RG and a Jackson; it's very thin, flat and wide. It is very much in keeping with the Superstrat/shred guitar design (other than the lack of a Kahler or Floyd). It's well made just like any other Carvin I've run across, but offers little in the way of new ideas. It looks and feels very late 80s if that makes sense.

Warner Bros. has released new images from Gangster Squad. The film is set in 1940s Los Angeles, and stars Sean Penn as real-life gangster Mickey Cohen, who became the target of special task force known as the "Gangster Squad". The impressive cast also includes Josh Brolin, Ryan Gosling, Emma Stone, Nick Nolte, Michael Peña, Anthony Mackie, and Giovanni Ribisi. While I found the trailer a bit underwhelming, the premise and cast are keeping this film near the top of my most-anticipated list.
Hit the jump to check out the images. Gangster Squad opens September 7th.
Images via the official website.
Here's the official synopsis for Gangster Squad:
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen (Sean Penn) runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and–if he has his way–every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop…except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led by Sgt. John O'Mara (Josh Brolin) and Jerry Wooters (Ryan Gosling), who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart. "The Gangster Squad" is a colorful retelling of events surrounding the LAPD's efforts to take back their nascent city from one of the most dangerous mafia bosses of all time.

How it works
Discover how we generate 42 comprehensive health reports from a simple cheek swab
Taking the test
The MyHeritage DNA Health test reveals valuable information about your health and gives you fascinating insights into your family history. The kit consists of a simple cheek swab (no blood or spit required) and takes only 2 minutes to use. Mail your sample back to the lab for analysis and you will be invited to view your results online as soon as they are available.
DNA analysis
When the lab receives your DNA sample, experienced technicians process your sample individually, using cutting-edge technology. In the lab, we extract your DNA, amplify it, and translate the biological information into digital raw data. Once your DNA has been converted to a digital form, our algorithms generate your Genetic Risk and Carrier Status Reports, as well as calculate your Ethnicity Estimate and identify your DNA Matches.
We use advanced technology to analyze your DNA — a custom-designed Global Screening Array format chip, with hundreds of thousands of strategically selected probes to capture the greatest amount of genetic variation. The new chip provides us with the flexibility to add reports for more conditions, without the need to collect a new DNA sample in the future.
For some conditions, we analyze a few common variants that are strongly associated with the condition and supported by extensive research. If we detect a variant that increases your risk for developing or passing on a certain condition, we confirm this result before reporting it. To validate the result, we use Sanger sequencing, the industry's standard for genetic testing.
For more complex conditions, like heart disease, we analyze thousands of variants across your entire genome and generate your genetic risk estimate using a cutting-edge method called polygenic risk scores. This is the most comprehensive approach for generating genetic risk scores for these conditions.
- You are the owner of your data and you can delete it permanently at any time.
- We will never share your data with any third parties without your explicit consent. Your reports will be shared with PWNHealth to facilitate physician oversight of your test.
- We are the only DNA company that pledges to never share your data with insurance companies.

The woman made famous by the Academy Award-nominated film "The Fighter," not to mention Melissa Leo's Best Supporting Oscar-winning portrayal, has passed away at the age of 79.
Alice Ward, mother of boxers Micky Ward (played by Mark Wahlberg in the film) and Dicky Eklund (played by Christian Bale, who also won an Oscar) was taken off life support at Boston's Spaulding Rehabilitation Center, according to the Lowell Sun.
The 79 year-old suffered a heart attack and stroke in January and was pronounced dead at one point, but recovered and had been on life support since the incident. Eklund told the local Lowell paper about the decision to remove Ward from life support after she lapsed into a coma.
U.S. & World
Ward is survived by nine children, 19 grandchildren, and 19 great-grandchildren.
"She was in there when there really weren't any women at all," said Micky Ward. "She was a pioneer of her time."

Marchers gather to support Israel at S.F. rally
Much of Market Street gridlocked as Jewish groups condemn Hamas
Hundreds of demonstrators from around the Bay Area marched through San Francisco on Sunday showing their unwavering support for Israel amid an ongoing war in Gaza.
The rally started at noon at Civic Center Plaza, where demonstrators from about 40 Bay Area Jewish organizations gathered with Israeli flags and signs showing loyalty to Israel and unanimous disdain for Hamas militants.
The event was the first major pro-Israel demonstration in front of City Hall, the site of several pro-Palestinian rallies in recent weeks, since violence erupted in Gaza almost one month ago.
"This is really inspiring to see so many people here," said Andi Frenkle, 45, who came to the march from Palo Alto. "I feel very lucky. I couldn't miss this day."
The march took place as Israel pulled back most of its ground troops from the Gaza Strip after almost a month of fighting with Hamas, leaving more than 1,800 Palestinians and more than 60 Israelis dead.
On Sunday, 10 people were killed in an apparent Israeli air strike near a U.N. shelter. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called the attack "a moral outrage and a criminal act." The United States added it was "appalled" by the "disgraceful" attack.
Brothers Elliot, Ari and Jacob Fine all served terms in the Israeli military between 2005 and 2010 and defended the recent attacks at Sunday's rally.
"Within Judaism, there is nothing more important than human life - it doesn't matter whose life," Elliot, 27, said.
"But it's important to note that Israel needs to defend itself. Hamas is using all its money and resources on weapons and tunnels," Ari, 25, added.
The Fines' sentiments were echoed by almost every supporter at the rally, who stressed Israel's right to defend itself against Hamas' rocket attacks.
Three Stanford University students organized the event by rallying many prominent Bay Area Jewish organizations, many of which bused in marchers from all around the region.
"We always want peace and want a cease-fire, but we need a partner for that," said student Guy Amdur. "We think Hamas is a problem for the Israeli and the Palestinian people."
Police closed westbound lanes of Market Street from Tenth Street to the Embarcadero as demonstrators made their way though the city, many singing the national anthem of Israel. Cars trying to cross Market were stuck in standstill traffic as the procession headed toward Justin Herman Plaza.
Alex Neduva, 53, carried a sign that read "Israel wants peace. No to terrorism" as he and a friend marched. He is an Israeli citizen who lives in San Jose and has a son in the Israeli army.
"People don't understand that Israel is fighting the war for its own survival," Neduva said. "I am very disturbed to see the pictures in the world media. Israel is risking the life of its own soldiers to minimize damage when possible."
The rally went off with little trouble. Only a few verbal blows were exchanged between Israel supporters and a small group of Palestinian supporters gathered on the outskirts of Civic Center Plaza. At one point, Pete Soskin offered the pro-Palestinian group some garlic hummus and pita chips.
"I'm supporting the idea that Israel and Palestine will be able to live in the region peacefully," he said.

The liturgical year is made up of six seasons:
The mystery of Christ, unfolded through the cycle of the year, calls us to live his mystery in our own lives. This call is best illustrated in the lives of Mary and the saints, celebrated by the Church throughout the year. There is no tension between the mystery of Christ and the celebration of the saints, but rather a marvelous harmony. The Blessed Virgin Mary is joined by an inseparable bond to the saving work of her Son, and the feasts of all the saints proclaim the wonderful works of Christ in his servants and offer the faithful fitting examples for their imitation. In the feasts of Mary and of the saints, the Paschal Mystery of Christ is proclaimed and renewed.
Seasons, saints, and celebrations during the liturgical year are laid out in a yearly liturgical calendar.

More than 20,000 students in a suburb of Chicago won't have class or after-school activities beginning Tuesday after teachers voted to strike.
Teachers in Community Unit School District 300 voted Monday afternoon to strike after 11 months of negotiations failed to end with a new contract.
The last contract expired July 1, and class sizes and salaries remain the sticking points.
"It's pretty daunting. It's something that we kept talking about but I never really thought would happen," said fourth-grade teacher Ann Hottoby.
"We need a better learning environment for our students. Three years ago -- over three years ago -- I had 23 students in my room. The next year I had 37," she added.
Chicago teachers strike affects 350,000 students
District spokesman Joe Stevens said in a voicemail to district parents and staff members that members from the Board of Education, the Local Education Assocation of District 300 -- the Carpentersville area district's teachers union -- and a federal mediator met for a final time Monday.
Chicago teachers agree to end strike
"After the Board agreed to LEAD's latest proposal to further reduce class sizes at all grade levels and create class-size caps for middle and high school classes, the LEAD team increased its salary proposal by returning to an earlier salary request. At this point, the Board has met LEAD's expectations regarding class sizes, but we have not reached agreement on salaries," he said in the message.
Biggest losers of Chicago's teachers strike? The students, critic says
Three middle schools will remain open as emergency attendance centers for students in kindergarten to grade six who have no other place to go, according to the district.
Read more news on NBCChicago.com
The district's website -- d300.org -- has information about the board's latest offer.
The massive district, which covers 118 square miles and 15 communities in four counties, hasn't had a teacher strike in three decades.

Jane's In the Fast Lane racing column.
Funny Car driver Ron Capps started the first segment of the NHRA's Countdown to the Championship in first place. He starts the second, two-race segment in fourth, but that's OK. At least he's in the second segment and, with the points reset, he's only 30 points out of first. Capps is a veteran of championship pressure. He's been through it the past two years and admits to gigantic cases of nerves before each race. This year, though, Capps seems to have a better handle on it. "I am so much better," Capps said this week in a press release from Don Schumacher Racing. "I'm sure we'll get nervous, but really, Richmond was kind of a turning point for me. I still had the butterflies there. Personally, I kind of felt myself go to the next level." With two races left in the Countdown - at Las Vegas this weekend and Pomona, Calif., next weekend - every round counts. "It's going to be an exciting weekend," said Capps, who is fighting for his first championship. "Come Sunday, no matter what happens, those are the rounds that are important and there's a chance for a national record to be set here if the conditions are good. That's an extra 20 points, and that would be huge right now." Results of this weekend also will play heavily into what happens in the final race, Capps explained. "What happens on Sunday is really going to dictate on what everybody's approach is going to be for Pomona," he said. "You just need to have a decent, if not great, weekend in Vegas to take some pressure off going to Pomona. And obviously, to win Vegas would be just unbelievable." Looking Ahead East Peoria alum Benjamin Board's season is over, but the Top Sportsman racer had a highlight moment last month when he won the NHRA Division 5 Lucas Oil Drag Racing Series race at Tri State Raceway in Earlville, Iowa. Board, 33, who now lives in Spirit Lake, Iowa, has been racing since age 14 but has been running Top Sportsman since last year. "We've been running a fuel system setup no one else in the world is running so it's been a steep learning curve," Board said. "We blew up four motors last year and one at the beginning of this year, but we started to get a handle on it." Like 99.9 percent of racers, Board, a former Caterpillar employee, is in the hunt for sponsors. He's also hoping to move up in class in the near future. "By 2009, I'd like to try to get in Top Fuel," said Board, who already is putting together resumes to send to two of the sport's top teams this year. Chasing It's hard to find a racetrack Jimmie Johnson doesn't run well on. Atlanta is certainly not on the list - Johnson has two wins, seven top fives, eight top 10s and an average finish of 10.1 at the Georgia track. Johnson said one of the secrets to winning at Atlanta is to be in the top five after the last pit stop. Then, on the last lap, "if you're chasing someone, you're going to go where they're not," Johnson said. "And that really dictates your move and what you do on the last lap." Breaking the plane of the driver in front and using the side-draft is the key, he said. "The way the tracks are laid out, if you can break the plane of his bumper off of Turn 4, you will win the race," he said. "I've had a couple work out for me that way, and I also lost one to Carl (Edwards) that way." Force Home Funny Car driver John Force, seriously injured in a crash in Dallas last month, flew home to California on Saturday and will continue his rehabilitation there.

Referenda on Secession and Taxation, May 23, 1861
On May 23, 1861, Virginia's voting men ratified the Ordinance of Secession that the Virginia Convention had adopted on April 17, and in that same election voters ratified an amendment to the state constitution that removed a limitation on the value of enslaved people held as property for taxation purposes. The two referenda passed by roughly similar margins, but in the Ohio River Valley and parts of the western mountain regions for which returns survive Virginians overwhelmingly voted against secession but in favor of the amendment. Elsewhere, voters overwhelmingly voted for secession, but many men voted against the amendment. The results of the two referenda on the same day highlighted the dramatic differences between the regions of Virginia where slavery was common and important and the regions where it was not. Virginians and their political leaders where slavery was important operated from a different set of values and personal interests than did Virginians and their political leaders where slavery was not so important. Those divisions within the state help explain why the history of Virginia during the secession crisis was so complex and why the decisions the convention delegates and the voters had to make were very difficult and at each of the crisis turning points were very different.
The January 1861 law that created the Virginia Convention required that if it voted to secede then the state's voters had to approve or disapprove in a popular referendum. It took place on Thursday, May 23, 1861.
Referendum on Taxation of Slaves
Shortly before the first session of the Virginia Convention adjourned on May 1, 1861, the delegates adopted a constitutional amendment to require that all personal property, including slaves, be taxed at its full market value and submitted the amendment to a ratification referendum to be held on May 23.

Coffee creamer, now with actual cream
Well now I've seen everything. This weekend I came across Nestlé Coffe-mate Natural Bliss, a "creamer" made with ... wait for it ... milk and cream.
Fairway was carrying two flavors, Vanilla ("Indulge yourself with the rich, natural flavor of Natural Bliss Vanilla. Made with only four natural ingredients [nonfat milk, heavy cream, sugar, natural flavor], it's as delicious as it is smooth") and Sweet Cream ("There's cream ... then there's Natural Bliss Sweet Cream. Made with only milk, cream and sugar, it makes a great cup of coffee go down smooth").
Natural Bliss was on sale for $5.09 a quart, or more than three times the price of milk, twice the price of half & half, 50 percent more than light cream.
Who exactly is the intended buyer for Natural Bliss? Someone who feels that milk is too cheap? Someone who finds it too taxing to put a spoonful of sugar into his coffee? Someone who wants to put even more money into the pockets of Nestlé, the world's richest food company?
I didn't see it on the shelf, but Natural Bliss also comes in a low-fat chocolate iteration. "Your perfectly balanced cup just got slimmer! Enjoy this all-natural real dairy & delicious subtle chocolate flavor." I am not surprised that the chocolate flavor is subtle, since the mixture contains no chocolate, only "natural flavors."

It's no shocker that Jared Harris isn't coming back to Mad Men next season. (RIP, Lane!) However, Harris set the Internet abuzz Tuesday after he implied that Elisabeth Moss has left the AMC drama as well.
When asked by The Daily if the cast threw him a going-away party, Harris said no. But then he likened his nondescript goodbye to that of several other regular cast members who have left the series permanently. In that list of names, Harris mentioned Moss, whose character was last seen quitting Sterling Cooper Draper Pryce for a promotion and major raise at a competing firm.
Mad Men's Jared Harris discuss Lane's big twist
"Actors are always ending jobs. It isn't a big deal in that sense," Harris said. "Also other people had left the show that had been there since the beginning. Elisabeth [Moss] left the episode before and she'd been there since the beginning. Michael Gladis left in Season 3... Bryan Batt," Harris said. "People leave and it's just part of it. They didn't make a giant fuss."
Although AMC declined to comment on Harris' quote, a rep for Moss simply said, "The season isn't even over yet!"
Ultimately, it remains unclear how much Harris actually knows about her future on the notoriously secretive show. And Moss, who didn't appear in the only episode that's aired since her character quit, may have exited the season early in order to accommodate the shooting schedules of other projects, including the Sundance Channel miniseries, Top of the Lake.
Mad Men: What's the cost of doing business?
Unlike the other characters Harris mentioned, Moss' Peggy has always been much more central to Mad Men's narrative. Plus: Moss has been nominated for three Emmys for her portrayal of Peggy, and also nabbed a Critics Choice Television Award nomination Tuesday morning for best actress in a drama series.
So, do you think Moss' Mad Men days are behind her? Can you imagine the show without her?

Esophageal varices are enlarged veins in the esophagus (tube that connects the throat to the stomach). They are most often due to problems with blood flow in the liver. Normally, a blood vessel called the portal vein carries blood from the digestive organs to the liver. But with liver disease, blood flow can become blocked due to scarring of the liver. This increases the blood pressure in the portal vein (a condition known as portal hypertension). Blood then backs up in nearby veins in the esophagus and stomach, causing varices. Varices are a serious and life-threatening problem. Treatment is needed to prevent them from rupturing and bleeding. If bleeding occurs, it can be fatal.
Symptoms of Esophageal Varices
|With esophageal varices, blood vessels in the esophagus become abnormally enlarged. They may then rupture and bleed.
Symptoms do not occur unless the varices are bleeding. This is an emergency problem. If you have any of the following symptoms, get medical attention right away:
- Vomiting blood
- Black, tarry, or bloody stools
- Lightheadedness or loss of consciousness (fainting)
Diagnosing Esophageal Varices
You'll likely be checked for varices if you have liver disease or other health problems that can cause them. The doctor will ask about your symptoms and health history. You'll also be examined. Tests are then done to confirm to problem. These can include:
- Upper endoscopy. This is done to see inside the upper digestive tract. During the test, an endoscope is used. This is a thin, flexible tube with a tiny camera on the end. It's inserted through the mouth. It's then guided down through the esophagus, stomach, and first part of the small intestine. This allows the doctor to check for varices and detect if there is any bleeding.
- Imaging tests. These provide pictures of the liver or blood flow in the liver. They allow the doctor to check for enlarged veins around the liver and assess the risk of bleeding. Common imaging tests done include ultrasound and computed tomography (CT) scans.
Treating Esophageal Varices
The goal of treatment is to reduce the risk of bleeding or to control bleeding. Treatment can include one or more of the following:
- Medications. These may be prescribed to lower the blood pressure inside the enlarged veins. This reduces the risk of bleeding. Beta-blockers are the most common medication used.
- Endoscopic therapy. These are treatments for enlarged or bleeding veins that are done with the help of an endoscope. With ligation, small rubber bands are placed around the veins to close them off and stop any bleeding. With sclerotherapy, clotting medication is injected into the veins to shrink them.
- Balloon tamponade. This is a procedure in which a tube with a balloon is guided down into the esophagus and stomach. The balloon is then inflated with air. This applies pressure on enlarged or bleeding veins to control bleeding.
- Surgery. This may be done to place a stent (tubelike device) in the liver. The stent helps reroute blood flow in the liver to lower the blood pressure in enlarged veins. Sometimes, the enlarged veins may be connected to other nearby veins to reroute blood flow. In severe cases, a liver transplant may be needed. This is to replace the diseased liver with a healthy donor liver.
Regular visits with the doctor are needed to check for bleeding of the varices. If bleeding occurs, it is likely to occur again. More treatments will then be needed in the future. Work closely with your doctor to manage your condition and know when to seek emergency care.

ramai yang memberi pandangan,
kawan tu time senang je.
time gelak gelak, suka suka.
tp kalau sahabat,
time senang dah susah dia akan bersama.
what the..!
come on guys.
kita ni hero sgt ke nak berada dlm semua keadaan?
kita ni terbatas.
sebelum kita describe si 3 tu kawan,
si 8 tu sahabat.
silap silap sahabat sejati.
look at ourselves first.
can we do everything for someone?
even someone that we really love and care (family,wife,husband,kids) ?
if you want to argue with me,
then if you are husband, please do everything that your wife doing + your own job.
for sure we cant.
we still need someone else to help.
this is same like kawan or sahabat.
how can we distinguish he is kawan. and the other we call it sahabat.
just because he is not very helping.
or else yesterday he cannot help you in certain case.
ok, look at our selves again.
for an example
can you repair laptop?
if cant, and what happen if your wife/husband ask for it?
masih nak distinguish kawan /sahabat?
we are coming with different talents, hopes, etc.
dont simply categorize our friends.

Before you invest in internet marketing, you'll probably want to know the answer to one important question: 'What is SEO?' - after all, no one wants to pay for a service they don't understand. In a nutshell, SEO is the process of pushing a website to the top of search engine results pages. Its main purpose is to drive leads and sales to businesses' websites. For a more detailed answer to the question, 'What is search engine optimisation?' watch the video or Read Less.
SEO marketing includes a range of practices, focused on increasing the number of visitors and customers who visit a website. By climbing to the top of the results pages on search engines such as Bing, Yahoo and Google, your website will receive more traffic and more business. The most successful online companies tend to be the ones with strong SEO rankings for the keywords and phrases which are relevant to the services of products they provide. Boosting your SEO ranking is a complicated, nuanced process, which is where SEO specialists like Scott come in.
Read on if you're still wondering, 'What is search engine optimization?' If you want your website to attract more leads and sales, it's important that you're as close to the top of search engine results pages as possible - otherwise you simply won't be seen by potential customers. The trouble is, online businesses and SEO professionals are constantly trying to outdo each other to climb to the top of the pile. And to make matters even more difficult, search engines such as Google penalise websites which fail to meet their strict requirements. However, with the right strategy, any business can boost their SEO ranking and start to attract more customers.
The success of SEO depends on the strategy. A good SEO agency will take into account the age of the website, its current success and exposure, competition, 'on the page' and 'off the page' health, and any past SEO completed on the website.

English Teacher
I assigned a letter to my student that invites his friend to a dinner party at his home. He was expreceted to write the letter in informal style.
At the end of the letter, the student wrote I hope to see you soon. To express the expectation for the invitees acceptance. I want to know whether See you soon is more informal than the previous one or not.
Both are equally informal.
I'm not a teacher of English, but I have spoken it for (almost) all of my life....

Baptism is a sacred tradition in the Christian faith. It signals what many Christians would call a "rebirth." In some circles, this rite is performed by sprinkling a tiny amount of water on a baby's head. In other circles, people of all ages are dunked in water before a crowd of witnesses as a testimony that they have been reborn – called to experience a new kind of life. No matter how the baptismal ceremony is conducted, it always involves one thing: water.
Water is essential to life. The average person cannot survive more than a few days without it. Water makes up 90 percent of the human body. More than two-thirds of the earth is covered by it. If baptism signals new life and water is life, it follows, then, that water is essential for baptism.
If water is essential for baptism, how did a small church in Godfrey, Illinois survive without water for 163 years? The same way anyone survives in an emergency situation where there is no water: by using bottled water.
Ironic, isn't it?
Bottled water is not exactly in the business of preserving life. Bottled water companies make millions of dollars packaging and selling a naturally-occurring resource that is otherwise, basically free. Yes, water is essential to baptism and to life, but for every bottle of water that's made, twice as much is used in the production process. Eighty percent of plastic bottles end up in landfills or oceans, polluting the environment. And contrary to popular belief, bottled water is no more pure than tap. Plastic bottles contain toxic chemicals that often leach into water.
It seems contradictory to perform a baptismal ceremony – a sign of new life – using a product that is anti-life in so many ways. What do you think?
Thankfully, the church recently acquired a water line. Attendance has improved since then. I must say, I'm not surprised..

Things aren't looking good for funny-man Andy Dick.
The comedian was arraigned Saturday afternoon and charged with two felony counts of sexual abuse at Cabell County Magistrate Court in West Virginia, according to the Associated Press.
Dick is accused of grabbing a bouncer's crotch and groping a male club goer early Saturday morning at the Rum Runners bar, according to court documents obtained by the AP. Bail was set at $60,000 and Dick is due back in court on Feb. 2 for a preliminary hearing.
U.S. & World
The funny man was in town for six weekend performances at the Funny Bone Comedy Club, and a representative from the club told E! Online Dick is still scheduled to perform Saturday evening.
"He had two shows last night and dominated, he was on fire, the best I've ever seen him," the club's manager, Tom Schaefer, told E!.
As of Saturday morning, Dick was in custody at the Western Regional Jail, according to People.
This is not Dick's first run-in with the law -- he is still on probation from a July 2008 arrest stemming from accusations that the 44-year-old actor pulled down the top and exposed the breasts of a teenage girl. He pleaded guilty to drug and battery charges and was able to avoid jail time, according to E!.
In 1999, Dick was arrested for possession of cocaine and marijuana after crashing his car into a telephone pole. He was able to avoid jail time by completing a drug diversion program.
The troubled comedian brought his public battle with drug and alcohol addiction back into the public eye in 2009 on VH1's Sober House with Dr. Drew Pinsky.

1962, Arrow Video (UK only), 79m 49s, BD-A/DVD-2 (2 discs)
At one of the busiest junctures of his career - right after making TALES OF TERROR (1962) for AIP, and just before embarking on the European shoot that led to his directing THE YOUNG RACERS (1963), producing DEMENTIA 13, setting up OPERATION TITIAN in Yugoslavia (which led to the making of three or four other pictures), and making his first-ever trip to the Soviet Union - Roger Corman found time to direct this historical thriller about a murderous, ghost-haunted Richard III. It's a remake of sorts of the Universal film of the same title, starring Basil Rathbone (as Richard), Boris Karloff, and a young Vincent Price, made in 1939. This time, Vincent Price has ascended to the misshapen lead.
|Vincent Price as Richard III.
|Here actor Charles McCauley plays opposite Price in the role Price played in 1939.
|A raven-toting sorcerer (Richard Hale) and various ghosts lead the murderous monach to court the Supernatural.

Recently, local photographer Nancy Forman and her husband Brian were driving around Bucks County when they noticed what they considered an interesting building. It was old, yet it sported solar panels. They investigated and chanced upon a vintage (we'll say that term refers to pre-1960) REO Speed Wagon pickup truck on a farm atop a hill.
The only way Forman could place herself in the right location to capture the picture was to send her husband into a ditch and to lean on his torso while she contorted her body just the right way to capture the old truck with her Canon 50D digital camera.
Photographs of vintage pickup trucks that seem to blend like an element of nature among wide landscapes of open fields or bustling bushes, printed on canvases large enough to serve as centerpieces in a room, taken by Forman during her travels to the Southwestern U.S. and other places are currently featured through mid-January at Campbell's Place, 8337 Germantown Ave.
During the couple's southwestern forays, Mr. Forman demonstrated the tendency to explore off-road adventures. "Being a girl, I wasn't that interested at first," said Nancy, who was educated at Moore College of Art, the University of the Arts and Philadelphia University, "but when I took pictures of these old trucks, when I would crop the picture, for whatever reasons, they would just look so beautiful." (The Formans happen to own their own 1954 bright orange vintage GMC pickup.)
It was about six months ago, while she was having lunch at Elcy's, a café in Glenside that features the work of local artists on its walls, when a friend suggested that Nancy hang her own pictures, which to that point she had only sometimes given to friends. Forman contacted the owner, exchanged a few emails, and it was arranged for her work to be displayed at Elcy's.
In addition to new photography venture, Mrs. Forman and her husband own and operate Performance Kitchens, a 22-year-old Manayunk-based custom contracting company that designs, builds and renovates kitchens, baths, bedrooms and other rooms of the home.
Her photography background is rooted in taking photos for her business, as well as travel photography. Often it is the vivid pinks, greens, blues and oranges of a hummingbird or orchird that capture her eye. To that extent, a trip to Ecuador yielded colorful pictures one can view at juniperwinddesigns.com along with photos of cactuses, canyons and red rocks that words could only serve to cheapen. There is also her collection of photos of old barns.
Forman began printing her photographs on large canvases using an advanced Giclee printing system that provides ink-jet transfer onto museum-grade quality canvas. The image is wrapped on a one-and-one-half inch kiln-dried hardwood frame that enables durability at large sizes.
Forman was set to display her work at her friend's store, TK Home and Garden, located in Hudson, a town in New York state. The store boasts 13-foot high ceilings. Nancy thought a large reproduction of a photograph would look as if it were a real painting. And the day she put up her "Shady Pickup," a photo of a vintage red pickup truck, it sold.
On another occasion Nancy was dining at Campbell's Place when she noticed the interior brick walls, and immediately thought her canvases could adorn the brick walls there, especially since she noticed there was featured artwork for sale on the walls already.
She contacted Vanessa Mullen, one of the owners, and as a result, Forman's work is now on display at Campbell's through mid-January. For more information, visit www.juniperwinddesigns.com.

My Systems Librarian column Library Technology Forecast for 2014 and Beyond published in the December 2013 issue of Computers in Libraries is now available online at Information Today. In this column I mention some of the trends that I expect to see next year related to library technologies. These categories addressed include:
- Uptick in Strategic Cooperation
- Library Services Platforms and Discovery Services
- Ebook Lending
- Models of Development and Innovation
- Consumer Technologies
- Industry Trends
Libraries continue to face enormous challenges as they continue to deal with woefully inadequate budgets at the same time that almost every aspect of their work has become more complex. In these times when search engines, social networks, and ecommerce sites set an almost unreachable bar for user experience and breadth of content, libraries have to make extraordinary efforts to impress their patrons with the information resources and services that they offer on the web while remaining true to core library values. Thus, the stage is set. I'll discuss some of the trends that I see playing out on the library technology front as we look ahead for the next couple of years.

Printer mapping using GPP
I have in several occasions experienced problems with the GPP print mapping feature. I receive the following error:
Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070bc4 No printers were found.' This error was suppressed.
I have experienced this in a couple of different setups now, setups at different customers with different printers and both 2003 print servers and 2008/2008R2 print servers.
I create a GPO that maps printers based on AD group membership, I configure the GPP to "Run in logged-on user's security context (user policy option)" and "Remove this item when it is no longer applied" and I configured the needed AD group in the "Item level targeting" feature. Usually the GPP works at first logon, the printer maps correctly, but if I remove the user from the AD group specified in the item level targeting section, the printer is NOT deleted/removed and the error specified above appears in the event viewer.
For now I have reproduced this error message in setups at different customers and in my own test environment on RDS and Citrix XenApp 6 servers running 2008 R2/2003 R2 Service Pack 1. I have tried 3-5 different private hotfixes all aimed at different issues regarding print or GPP on 2008 R2, nothing has working so far.
Right now I am working on a new Citrix XenApp 6 server at a customer and I yet again have experinced the issue described above. I am current ly testing using on ly one printer, a Canon LBP6750 with a PCL5e driver.
Print server OS: 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Citrix XenApp 6 server OS: 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
Both servers have all the latests updates installed, with the exception of Internet Explorer 9.

Can you turn on the CSE logging for the GPP Printers deployment? You can do that via Group Policy is System\Group Policy\Logging and Tracing.

Does this issue exist when you remove Citrix XenApp 6?

Scenario: Trying to deploy Printers via Group Policy Preferences and are experiencing an issue where new users logging into a machine are not having their default printer set. If you run "gpupdate /force" while logged in or log out/in to the machine again the default printer is set correctly.
Error Received:
Event ID: 4098
Source: Group Policy Printers
Message: 0x80070709 The printer name is invalid.
Steps Taken:
- Tried setting the GPP to Create, Update, Replace mode
- Tried creating the printer first, then updating with the Default Printer option checked
- Tried one printer by itself, one policy by itself, etc.
- Tried FQDN and Printer Share Name in the preference
- Applied Hotfix: KB2457866: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2457866
Tried many of the steps and suggestions on these sites as well:

We are experiencing the same issue.
SBS 2011 and 2008 R2 with RDS services.
3 Printers deployed from GPO mapped on AD group membership.
GPO is: User Configuration->Prefs->Control Panel Settings->Printers->Shared Printers
Settings are: Action:Update, 1 default printer, 2 printers just mapped with \\server\printer.
Policy is applied onto both 2008 R2 and a variety of XP and W7 clients.
To me this is totally random - suddenly 1 or 2 of the printers are missing - sometimes they all are gone, just to show up again on login or reboot or gpupdate.
Error given in eventlog is:
The user 'PR2' preference item in the 'Drive_Printer Map {078BE446-D720-4909-8B14-71A344468583}' Group Policy object did not apply because it failed with error code '0x80070bc4 No printers were found.' This error was suppressed.
Funny things is - same policy also maps different drives - however none of the drives ever fail to get mapped.
Please advice - Our customer is getting quite unhappy with the missing printers.
If we don't get a solution fast, we have to turn back to old fashioned loginscripts...
Thanks2012年1月4日 17:00
I have 2 servers with the same issue also. I have now removed all GPO's setting printers with preferences. I have installed the hotfix kb2457866. I have also deleted all printers on the RDS server from registry. When I now logon to the server, I just get an information that everything is OK.
If I then add a printer with GPO, KIX or by exploring the printserver and adding it I get a new info stating that the printer is installed.
When I log out and in on the server I get the 602 error again....
Same if I add a Xerox or an HP printer.
I have also removed all printdrivers under the management and got the latest driver from the print server. The HP uses PCL5 5.4 released desember 2011. Same issue with 5.1 and 5.2.
Also, both RDS servers generate .tmp files under system32. 2-3000 files in a month. Seems like a driverfile, and is related to print. Anyone else got this?2012年1月16日 22:18
Same problem here! When I try to apply the following hotfix it says it's not valid? I'm running 2008R2.
2012年1月16日 22:20
We did not resolve this - tried everything from changing drivers, creating completely new policies etc.
Nothing helped, so we had to go back to using script.
Mapping the printer 100% locally will also solve this, however this is not useable in bigger setups.
I would really wish that MS would give this some attention since alot of people have this issue - that many people can't all be doing it wrong I guess...
Having setup more than 100 SBS2008 servers, we have NEVER had any issue with print mappings via GPO - guess this is going in the wrong direction since SBS2011 cannot?!

Hello All
I am sorry I have not reported any updates to this thread, I had forget all about its existence :(
During March 2011 I opened a support case at Microsoft regarding this issue. To make a long story short - Microsoft admits that there is a bug in 2008 R2, which is NOT present in Windows 7. The bug affects GPP mapping of printers, which in short means that you cannot use the "Replace" option i GPP printer mappings.
During January 2012 Microsoft closed the case and had not presented any solution to the issue.
They have presented a workaround though, which is to make a "Delete All" GPP and configure it with a priority number 1 in the same GPO that maps the printers via GPP.
I have implemented this workaround at a few customers and it seems to work OK.
I told Microsoft that I was not happy with not getting any "official" solution, but they still cloase the case informing me that they had presented me with a usable workaround. I was told that they had spend around 60 hours troubleshooting this case.
2012年2月28日 14:17
- 已编辑 Kasper Johansen 2012年2月28日 19:38
In my case this problem was caused by the configuration on the printserver. Some of the printers pointed to the same Port (Standard TCP/IP Port in my case).
I noticed that 'Control Panel\Devices and Printers' on the printserver didn't show all of my printers, and when refreshing it showed me different printers all the time (note: the printer count always stayed the same). It seems like there is some kind of limitation in the amount of printers that share a single port.
The Print Management MMC does not have this problem and always shows all printers.
I duplicated all my ports and reconfigured my printers, so that every port is now only used by one single printer, and the problems disappeared:
- The 'Devices and Printers' cpl-applet now shows all of my printers
- GPP printer mappings are now processed properly on my Win2008R2-RDS, and the warnings '0x80070bc4 No printers were found' are gone too.
Hope this helps in your environment as well.2012年4月3日 8:26
Hi ,
I recently shifted all my drive and printer mappings to use group policy preferences. Here are some pointers:
1.) Use update instead of create.
I have found that this reduces the login times on my Windows 7 hosts. If the printer exists, then the GPO stops processing, if it doesn't exist, then it creates the printer connection.
2.) Use shared printers.
When you create the GPO for the printer preference, use a shared printer instead of a TCP/IP printer mapping. This greatly reduced login times as well.For more read we print24.com provides you complete solution ..here we also offer business printing services for print postcards , magazine printing, online poster printing etc.
2012年7月19日 10:24
try this:
reg delete "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers\Client Side Rendering Print Provider" /f
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Print\Providers" is not a key that exists on my print server (Win2k8R2). Nor is there a key or value any where in my registry called "Client Side Rendering Print Provider". However there is an option on printers in the share tab to render print jobs on client computers - by default jobs are rendered on clients. Unfortunately disabling this function did not stabilize the printer mapping.2012年11月1日 22:23
Map the printer as a user preference - update (User Configuration\preferences\control panel settings\Printers). And, in the same policy, map the same printer by the same path in User Configuration\policies\windows settings\printer connections. So far this has been effective.

I found a solution that worked for me
If you have a look at the printers group policy and check the share path. I found the path as shown was not the real share path on my print server.
I changed the group policy path to match the print server path, tested with a user and all worked fine.
Rob2012年12月13日 0:29
I had same problem as everyone else here. In my case the printers did never install on the server after login.
My solution was to install the printerdriver manually (by mapping the printer through the administrator account towards the server). The printerdriver couldn't install automatically and it was not previously installed on the Citrix/RDP servers. Now the printers appear, but I still see the error if I run a Group Policy Result Query.2013年3月22日 13:23
Hello Joel
That may be the "point-and-print restrictions" feature that prevents you from installaling printer-drivers.
The issue I have described in my initial post back in 2011 is still present in 2008/2008R2 and even 2012 and I have found a few workarounds the counter the issue.
If anyone is interested I can elaborate futher about the workarounds...2013年3月22日 13:31
I am very interested in your workarounds. We have been using GPP (For over 10 years, it was a 3rd party product called Policy Maker back then) to set default printers via security groups in our Citrix sessions. We are now updating from Server 2003R2 to Server 2008R2 and XenApp6.5 when this was found. Our situation is that it seems to work fine the first time you log in, but will not update after that and throws event ID 4098.
Here is the error:

Hello Aaron
The workaround I curently use consists of a powershell logoff script that disconnects all network printers during logoff. This ensures that when the user logs back on, the GPP printer mapping is running as it should setting the correct default printer.
I run the powershll script through a CMD file to circumvent any powershell execution policy that would eventually prevent the powershell from executing properly.
Feel free to download the script from my Skydrive :)

Hello, I am new here but want to try to help.
In my company we had the same problem and it was firewall related. windows 2008 and windows 7 combination uses RPC in addition printer printer ports, we had to open dynamic RPC ports on our print server firewall before we were able to map successfully using GPP. Windows 7 will try to map using RPC first and after 30 sec or so, it will fail and revert to normal printer ports, problem is that by then the GPupdate will stop trying and assume that printer is missing. One way to check, is to go to \\printserver and double click on one of the printers, if you lag for 20+ seconds before it installs the printer, then the problem is firewall.
you can still manually install a printer and will work fine, but for it to be deployed using GPP you need to open RPC ports
I hope this helps2013年7月31日 21:22
Hey everyone.
We have been, as everyone else has, been fighting with this for some time. I hate work-arounds, and just want Microsoft stuff to do what it says on the tin! Our situation was as follows:
PrintServer 2008 R1 32bit
Client Windows 7 Pro
HP UPD Driver (Like this makes any difference)
User Group Policy Preference Printers (Not computer, not 'Deploy')
Mandatory Profiles for the logons, this bit is IMPORTANT, roaming worked fine.
I have found that a combinations of suggestions and solutions, here and other forums, (so your going to find this pasted elsewhere), resulted in a solution for us. Any explainations as to why this has worked would be appreciated.
The following had to be true before our deployments worked everytime:
Printer share 'List in Directory'
Printer security included 'Domain Computers'
Group Policy Preference path to printer matched the SHARE, not the name
Group Policy Preference NOT to run in logged on user
Group Policy Preference Action is 'Update', not 'Create'
I may have missed some bits, so please let me know if this doesn't work for you.2013年11月14日 13:16
I have the same problem as the initial one: printers are mapped but the default printer is wrong. Only after a manual gpupdate the right printer is default.
We're using Citrix XenApp 6 on top of win 2008 R2. Print server is also a 2008 R2. I found that if you delete all the locally installed printers on the TS/Citrix server (like "Microsoft XPS Document Writer", "OneNote 2010", ...) the problem is solved. At least, that worked for me ;).2013年12月11日 8:07
I'm seeing similar problems using GPP to map printers to Remote Desktop Services sessions - thanks to all for the suggestions on the thread, I will start to work through them.
Would anyone know of a definitive resource to learn about printing in RDS? A book, a blog, an expert that does training?2014年4月4日 17:07
