How to scan multiple pages w/o ADF to 1 PDF in HP6700 officejet
Hi all,
I used to be able to do this on an older HP officejet, but I am having trouble doing this on the new HP 6700 officejet.
I want to scan multiple pages like small receipts and documents that cannot confidently go into the automatical document feeder. I want all of them scanned to 1 pdf. On an older HP officejet's software, I would do:
1. Put the one sheet manually on the scanner glass.
2. Launch scanner app, Select Preview
3. Hit scan
4. Preview dialog pops up and shows page 1
5. Put 2nd sheet in manually
6. Hit "Add a page" on the preview dialog, and it adds one more page
7. Repeat 5 and 6 until I am done
8. Hit finished to get all the documents in just 1 PDF.
However I am not able to do this with 6700. Any idea?
This question was solved. View Solution.
Re: How to scan multiple pages w/o ADF to 1 PDF in HP6700 officejet
Hi Tom,
You should be able to do it with the 6700 as well.
Please try the followign and let me know if that helps:
- Clcik teh HP Officejet 6700 icon.
- Under Scanner Actions, click Scan a Document or Photo.
- Select Save as PDF.
- At the right pane, make sure that Show Scan Preview is checked.
- Verify the Resolution is 300DPI or below, any higher resolution do not support a multiple pages socument.
- Click Advance and go to the File tab. verify the Creat a Seperate file is Not Checked.
- Click OK to confirm.. the modified settings will now take a place for any future scan,
- Click Scan and use the Plus button to Add additional pages.
If my post resolve your problem please mark it as an Accepted Solution
Re: How to scan multiple pages w/o ADF to 1 PDF in HP6700 officejet
Thanks ShlomiL. The key was 300DPI or below. Once changing to 300DPI from 600DPI, I am able to see the add/remove page button.

I love rotisserie chicken. Those chickens turn out so succulent, juicy and mouthwatering. You can serve almost any kind of side dish with them especially lots of fresh garden veggies. John and I usually only eat a few pieces of the chicken and then I have about 2 cups of meat leftover for another recipe. It's a win-win for me.
I was really craving a rotisserie chicken today and planned on picking one up at H-E-B. But then, I decided to try my hand at making my own, instead. It turned out fabulous! I don't have a rotisserie cooker, but I knew I wanted that basic taste of simple herbs and chicken without a lot of frills. This is easy, economical, quick and a delicious way to provide a main dish for your family. It only takes a handful of ingredients, too. I didn't mess with tying the legs, I just placed the chicken in the roaster pan. This was really, really easy, and extremely tasty.
If you're looking for E-A-S-Y, if you're looking for S-I-M-P-L-E, if you're looking for D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S, then here's a quick recipe you can make for your family tonight.
Rotisserie Style Baked Chicken is a quick, easy, and tasty recipe you're family will love.
You can make your own rotisserie chicken with this simple recipe.
Here's what I did.
Sprinkle inside cavity of chicken generously with garlic salt and lemon pepper seasoning. Place in roaster pan.
Sprinkle outside of chicken generously with garlic salt, lemon pepper, and basil.
Bake in the oven at 350 for 2 1/2 hours or until meat thermometer reaches 180 degrees. I put this chicken in the pan dry, so it made a lot of broth afterwards (about one inch).
To serve: Cut each piece off the chicken, or slice down the chicken breast.
Here's the recipe.
(My own concoction)
- 1 whole chicken (remove chicken, gizzards and organs)
- Garlic salt
- Lemon pepper
- Basil
- Heavily sprinkle garlic salt and lemon pepper into the cavity of the chicken.
- Place in roaster pan and sprinkle garlic salt, lemon pepper and basil over the top to cover the chicken.
- Tie chicken legs together with string, if desired.
- Place cover on roaster pan and bake 1 hour at 350°.
- Remove lid and bake another 1 ½ hours.
- Check with meat thermometer and make sure temperature registers 180°.
Rotisserie Style Baked Chicken is so easy and simple, yet it tastes marvelous!

Braid® Sea Fox Jigs 2 2
Braid Sea Fox Jig Very intresting lure. Fished it for grouper in 70 foot of water. I had to slow the jigging action down a lot. slow pumps up to about 10 feet off the bottom seems to work the best. Several hard strikes came when the lure did not move for 3-5 seconds. Good fit and finish caught several Lane Snappers as well. Can't wait to try it again. April 29, 2011

November 2013.
Classifying medication adherence is important for efficiently targeting adherence improvement interventions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the use of a novel method, group-based trajectory models, for classifying patients by their long-term adherence.
Research Design:
We identified patients who initiated a statin between June 1, 2006 and May 30, 2007 in prescription claims from CVS Caremark and evaluated adherence over the subsequent 15 months. We compared several adherence summary measures, including proportion of days covered (PDC) and trajectory models with 2–6 groups, with the observed adherence pattern, defined by monthly indicators of full adherence (defined as having ≥24 d covered of 30). We also compared the accuracy of adherence prediction based on patient characteristics when adherence was defined by either a trajectory model or PDC.
In 264,789 statin initiators, the 6-group trajectory model summarized long-term adherence best (C=0.938), whereas PDC summarized less well (C=0.881). The accuracy of adherence predictions was similar whether adherence was classified by PDC or by trajectory model.
Trajectory models summarized adherence patterns better than traditional approaches and were similarly predicted by covariates. Group-based trajectory models may facilitate targeting of interventions and may be useful to adjust for confounding by health-seeking behavior.

TV News Reflects on 9/11/01: Bloomberg TV's Michael McKee, FNC's Shepard Smith and Rick Leventhal
Bloomberg TV's Michael McKee, who was headed to a conference at the World Trade Center when the first plane hit the North Tower, jumped out of his taxi and began interviewing witnesses:
Debris and smoke headed straight for me and I joined police and emergency workers who had been standing around and began racing for safety. The concussion from the explosion knocked me to the ground. And then came the clouds of thick black smoke that filled the air. I couldn't breathe, couldn't see. Suddenly, we were frightened by the sound of jets overhead again — what we didn't know was this time it was our military jets.
Grasping the riverside railing, dozens of people staggered, crawled, and walked through the smoke, with no idea where they were or where they were going, other than away. When the smoke began to lift, I found I was in Battery Park. Bloody, battered, ripped and torn, eventually I made my way back to the newsroom. Read more

Both age and weight at puberty differ substantially among breeds of cattle (Laster et al., 1972, 1976, 1979; Stewart et al., 1980; Sacco et al., 1987). Within beef breeds, those having larger mature size tend to reach puberty at a later age and heavier weight. Bos indicus heifers tend to reach puberty at an older age than Bos taurus heifers, and heifers from higher milk-producing breeds are generally younger at puberty than those from breeds having lower milk production. Some of those differences are likely the result of direct maternal effects expressed through higher rates of preweaning gain by calves from higher milk-producing breeds.
Numerous data are available that indicate that neither age nor weight is a reliable indicator of reproductive development but that threshold values for both age and weight must be reached before puberty can occur. This conclusion is similar to the "physiological maturity" concept proposed by Joubert (1963) and to the "target weight" concept proposed by Lamond (1970). These concepts have been used by Spitzer et al. (1975), Dziuk and Bellows (1983), and Wiltbank et al. (1985) to suggest that replacement heifers should be fed to reach a preselected or "target" weight at a given age. Heifers of most Bos taurus breeds of cattle are expected to reach puberty by 14 months old or younger, if fed adequately. However, threshold ages of some heifers of Bos indicus breeds may be older than 14 months. Generally, heifers of typical Bos taurus beef breeds (e.g., Angus, Charolais, Hereford, Limousin) are expected to reach puberty at about 60 percent of mature weight. Heifers of dual purpose or dairy breeds (e.g., Braunvieh, Brown Swiss, Friesian, Gelbvieh, Red Poll) tend to reach puberty at a younger age and lower weight, relative to mature weight (about 55 percent of mature weight) than those of beef breeds. Conversely, heifers of Bos indicus breeds (e.g., Brahman, Nellore, Sahiwal) generally reach puberty at older ages and heavier weights (about 65 percent of mature weight) than those of Bos taurus beef breeds (Laster et al., 1972, 1976, 1979; Stewart et al., 1980; Ferrell, 1982; Sacco et al., 1987; Martin et al., 1992; Gregory et al., 1992b; Vera et al., 1993).
Mature weight refers to weight reached at maturity by cows of the same genotype in a nonrestrictive environment (for example, mature weight as determined by genetic potential). In a restrictive environment (high environmental temperature, limited nutrition, parasite loads, etc.), mature weight of cows is often less than that of cows of similar genotype maintained in a less restrictive environment (Butts et al., 1971; Pahnish et al., 1983). Heifer weight at puberty is also reduced, but to a lesser extent than is mature weight. Thus, under those types of conditions, weight at puberty is generally a greater percentage of observed mature weight than described above (Vera et al., 1993).
If the target weight and age to reach puberty are established, and present age and weight are known, rates of gain needed to achieve the target weight and age can easily be calculated. Energy and protein needs to meet those rates of gain can be estimated by use of the previously described net energy and net protein equations for growing heifers. Excessive feeding should be avoided. In addition to increasing feed costs, overfeeding that results in excess fat accretion may have detrimental effects on expression of behavioral estrous, conception rate, embryonic and neonatal survival, calving ease, milk production, and productive life.
Composition of weight change in growing and mature cattle has been discussed in other sections and will not be discussed in detail here. In the mature cow, weight change, with the exception of weight change associated with pregnancy or parturition, primarily reflects change in body condition. In the developing heifer, percentage of body fat and body condition may decrease, even though weight may continue to increase because of skeletal and muscle growth at the expense of body fat. In both the heifer and cow, weight gain associated with pregnancy and weight loss at parturition should not be construed as change in maternal weight or condition. Weight gain during pregnancy and loss at parturition is about 1.7 times calf birth weight and represents weight gain or loss of the fetus, fetal fluids, placenta, and uterus. For many practical purposes, subjective evaluation of body fatness by use of a visual condition scoring system (1=thinnest, 9=fattest) is frequently of benefit. More accurate methods are available for measuring body composition, but their use is generally limited to experimentation because of high costs or amount of labor required.
Death of calves perinatally represents a major production loss for beef cattle. Neonatal mortality is related to birth weight with the greatest losses occurring at low and high birth weights and lower mortality associated with moderate birth weights. Because dystocia, which is positively associated with birth weight, is a major cause of neonatal calf death (Laster and Gregory, 1973; Bellows et al., 1987), some cattle producers have attempted to reduce calf birth weight, particularly in first calf heifers, by underfeeding during the last trimester of pregnancy. As noted previously, malnutrition must be relatively severe to result in substantial reductions in calf birth weight. In nine studies reviewed by Dunn (1980), birth weight was reduced in all but one by severe underfeeding, but dystocia was reduced in only one (Dunn and Moss, 1992); but by underfeeding sufficiently to reduce birth weight, calf survival was reduced. In addition, numerous data (Short et al., 1990; Ferrell, 1991; Dunn and Moss, 1992) indicate the interval from

And the 2012 Ocean Heroes Are…
You've been waiting with bated breath to find out who this year's Ocean Heroes are, and the time has finally come to announce our winners!
We received over 400 fantastic nominations this year, and narrowed it down to six adult finalists and five junior finalists. Thousands of your votes determined the winners, and we're excited to announce that our adult Ocean Hero is Captain Don Voss and our Junior Ocean Hero is James Hemphill.
Captain Don Voss, from Fort Pierce, Florida, is the owner of the Marine Cleanup Initiative Inc., a debris collection organization that cleans up Florida's waterways. Over the last 11 years, the company has grown from six volunteers to over 400, who have collectively removed over 300,000 pounds of marine debris. Don started SCUBA diving as a form of therapy after he was wounded in Vietnam, and his love for the ocean motivated him to help clean up the waterways that he loved to dive in.
Don was thrilled to hear that he had won, and is excited for the future of his work.
"I'm 64 now and keep thinking I'll go back to recreational diving, but every time I go back in the water I find myself picking up debris. People need to understand that this is an ecosystem and that every one thing affects the next thing… What I've learned from my grandchildren, if you want an adult to stop doing something, you tell the kids. I'm hoping is that I can get more kids involved with diving, I can get less debris in the water and the water quality improves."
And if there's any kid who's involved with getting debris out of the water, it's our Junior Ocean Hero, James Hemphill. At 15 years old, James has already been working in ocean conservation for several years. He's the president of Project Green Teens, a student-run environmental group that promotes conservation in Virginia Beach. They have removed 2,300 pounds of trash from Virginia waterways, and are currently working on a plastic bag ban in Virginia Beach.
James wants kids his age to know that getting involved in conservation is easy, and you can make a big difference by making some changes in your lifestyle.
"Start out with the little creeks that run into the ocean and start small where you can physically see the results. Get a group of friends that are interested and experiment. There's no such thing as failure… it's just a matter of how much effort you're willing to put into it."
Congratulations to Don and James, and all of our amazing finalists!
Thanks to our corporate sponsors at Nautica and Revo Sunglasses for helping make the Ocean Heroes Awards possible. Our winners will receive a prize package that includes a $500 gift card to Nautica and a pair of Revo sunglasses, made with a 100% recycled frame and polarized lenses, perfect for spending days out on the water.
California Could Trash Plastic Bags for Good
Nothing we use for five minutes should pollute our oceans for 500 years.
That's the message in a new PSA about the plastic bag bill that's coming up for a vote this August in California. If it passes, California will be the first state with a state-wide ban on plastic bags.
Watch the video, which came to us from our friend Adrian Grenier and his website, SHFT.com, and let's hope the bill passes.
Ocean Hero Finalists: Sara Bayles
This is the fifth in a series of posts about this year's Ocean Hero finalists.
Today's featured finalist, Sara Bayles, is the author of The Daily Ocean blog, which documents her experiment to see how much debris she can collect from her local beach in 365 non-consecutive days.
For 20 minutes at a time she has removed more than 450 pounds of trash from a beach in Santa Monica in just over 110 days. On The Daily Ocean, Sara exposes our dependence on single-use plastic while challenging her readers to make small shifts in their own lives.

Very funny, J -- and Happy April Fool's Day.
It may be a fun prank from Heal the Bay, but plastic pollution in the oceans is no joke. Our oceans are drowning in debris and plastic bags are a major culprit. Cities and countries around the world have banned or placed fees on plastic bags, but more needs to be done.

Buxton Named MiLB Player of 2013; Jeter Back On DL
Major League Baseball's number one prospect, Byron Buxton, was named the 2013 Minor League Baseball player of the year by Baseball America, on Wednesday, making him the 31st player to receive the award since it was first handed out in 1981 to Mike Marshall.
By winning the award, Buxton joins a very impressive list of past winners. Wil Myers, Mike Trout and Jeremy Hellickson — all currently in the Majors — are the most recent three to receive it, with Derek Jeter, Frank Thomas and Dwight Gooden being some of the more notable players to have been named MiLB player of the year.
When Derek Jeter won the award, back in 1994, he batted .344 with 5 homers and 68 RBI's, between Single-A and Triple-A.
Combine that with 50 stolen bases by Jeter, and you have a very similar year to the one Buxton had.
While I'm not saying Buxton will turn out to be the type of player Jeter has been over his MLB career — .312 career average, with 256 HR's and 1,261 RBI's — it is a good indication of the type of talent that receives the award each year.
Buxton certainly has his share of talent, as he had an outstanding year in the Twins' farm system. He posted a .334 batting average with 12 home runs and 77 RBI's, to go along with 55 stolen bases, combined between Low-A and High-A.
The second overall draft pick in the 2012 draft, Buxton also participated in the 2013 Futures Game, up in New York, back in July, and is well on his way to living out his full potential of becoming a future big league super star.
But unlike Byron Buxton, who's the current Minor League player of the year on his way up, Derek Jeter is a former Minor League player of the year on his way down; as he found himself back on the disabled list on Wednesday with an ankle injury.
This makes the fourth time Jeter has been placed on the DL this season. But this time, he won't be back in 2013, as the Yankees have officially shut him down for the remainder of the year.
"The entire year has been pretty much a nightmare for me physically. I guess this is kind of fitting that it ends like this", Jeter said. "If you can't play the way you're capable of playing, then you're not really helping out."
Many have raised the question of whether Jeter will ever return at all, posing the idea of retirement. But Jeter is adamant he's not done, saying, "You don't start thinking about the end just because you have an injury."
While I fully agree with that statement, and have no doubt Jeter will return in 2014, I find myself, along with most of the baseball world, pondering the thought of whether or not Jeter can return to even a version of his former self.
Though he will never be the same Jeter he once was, there's always the chance that he can have a good comeback 2014 season, however, there's no denying that he had a horrible 2013 — posting a mere batting average of .190 with one home run and 7 RBI's in just 17 games played this season.
Not exactly getting the job done.
But if there's a bright spot to it all, a full shut down for Jeter will finally give him the chance to recover without the thought of having to take the field to help out the Yankees crossing his mind.
I don't believe Jeter was ever fully healed over the entire season, and this will give him nearly six months to get everything right. Something that Yankees' manager, Joe Girardi, has no doubt Jeter will do.
"It seemed like, when he came back, he was fine, and then he would play a couple of days and something would happen", said Girardi.
"The first time, I think it was his quad. The next time, it was his calf. Then his ankle started bothering him. The repeated days seemed to get to him a little bit, and that was frustrating for him. It was frustrating for all of us, because we wanted him out there."
"He'll have a full offseason to rehab it, to get stronger. To get to do all of the things that he didn't necessarily get to do last year, because he was in a boot for so long. There are no guarantees in life, but I think he's going to do everything he can to get back. I just know that he's going to do everything in his will power to get back on that field for Spring Training next year. That's just who he is."
Top 10 Story Lines I'm Planning to Watch In 2013
We're just over 48 hours away from the start of the 2013 MLB regular season, and I couldn't be more excited. Baseball fans everywhere are making final predictions as to how they feel things will play out, as players are making their final preparations for the long 162 game season. As my last blog post until the season begins, I wanted to do a brief overview of the top story lines I'm planning to keep an eye on in 2013. They may differ slightly from yours, but I feel I covered nearly all of the major topics:
1. How the Astros will fare in the American League:
Having lost 107 games in the National League in 2012, I'm watching the Astros, not for how good they'll do, but for how bad they'll do. Sorry to any Astros fans reading this post, but there's no denying that the odds are against the Astros going into the 2013 season. Playing in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, with the newly revamped Angels, they're likely to have just as bad of a season as last year, if not slightly worse. I'd say it would be considered a good year for the Astros if they finish with less than 100 losses.
2. If Bryce Harper and Mike Trout can keep up their 2012 R.O.Y. seasons:
Posting some incredible stats, leading to one of the best rookie seasons in MLB history, I'm going to keep a closer eye on Mike Trout than I am Bryce Harper, but I'm planning to watch Harper nonetheless. Both won the Rookie of the Year award in 2012, for their respective leagues, and it should be interesting to see if their amazing rookie years will transfer into the 2013 season. I'm predicting Trout will once again have a 30/30 season, with Harper possibly recording the first 30 home run season of his career.
3. Who will hit the most home runs in 2013:
The 2012 home run leaders consisted of Miguel Cabrera, Curtis Granderson and Josh Hamilton, as the 1-2-3 guys, and if it wasn't for an injured Granderson, I could see all three being near the top of the rankings again in 2013. However, with Granderson out with an injury for the first portion of the year–while I see Cabrera once again leading all players in homers, with Hamilton coming in a close second–it will likely be a new face who will round out the top three. Maybe it'll be a guy like Adam Dunn, who's a free-swinger? Or maybe a guy no one saw coming, who will have a breakout season? It will certainly be fun to keep track of.
4. If A-Rod comes back healthy, if at all:
While it's 100 percent certain that Alex Rodriguez won't return to the Yankees' lineup until late July, there is the slight chance that he could miss the entire season. However, if A-Rod is able to work his way back this season, after having hip surgery in January, it should be very interesting to see if he can become a decent player once again. While Rodriguez will never be the great player he once was, if healthy, he has the ability to make an impact for the Yankees. Although I'm not the biggest fan of A-Rod, I still hope he comes back healthy. But I find it very unlikely that he will ever again play at a competitive level.
5. How the rookies, such as Wil Myers, will impact their teams in 2013:
I discussed this a couple months ago, in my blog post on the Top 100 prospects going into the 2013 season, but this time around I'm only focusing my attention on a handful of rookies who I feel will have the biggest impact for their team this season. Wil Myers is the number one guy on my radar, with Shelby Miller, Jurickson Profar and Billy Hamilton being the other three main rookies I plan on keeping track of. Myers was the minor league player of the year, in 2012, and I fully see him posting more of the same stats, as he begins the the year with AAA Durham. Of the four, Miller is the only player that is starting in the majors to begin the year, but they should all make it to the big leagues at some point this season, and are sure to each play a key role in their teams' success.
6. How the Upton bro's do for the Atlanta Braves:
You could argue that, with the addition of both Justin Upton and B.J. Upton to roam the outfield with Jason Heyward, the Braves have the best all-around outfield in all of baseball. All three players have great range, giving them the ability to make plays on balls that other outfielders couldn't get to, but furthermore, they all have the talent to impact their team offensively as well. Both Upton's, as well as Heyward, have the ability to blast 25+ home runs and 85+ RBI's, as well as steal a good amount of bases. If they can perform to their potential this season, combined with the great lineup and pitching rotation they already had, the Braves could be an outstanding team.
7. What kind of a year players who ended 2012 injured will have in 2013:
The reason A-Rod had his own category, and wasn't included in this one, is merely because his return is uncertain. All of the players in this category didn't play at all after their injury in 2012, and will make a guaranteed comeback, within at least the first few weeks of the season. With that said, the most impactful players to end last season with an injury, that I'll be watching in 2013, include Derek Jeter, Troy Tulowitzki and Mariano Rivera.
Mariano Rivera tore his ACL in May, while Derek Jeter fractured his ankle in October, with neither playing any more games for the remainder of the year. Rivera is expected to be ready to go Opening Day, though a slight setback for Jeter will force him onto the disable list to begin the year. In my opinion, the 2013 performances of both Jeter and Rivera will be the deciding factor for what kind of season the Yankees have. If Jeter can return quickly, and Rivera can post his usual stellar numbers, I see the Yankees being just fine.
Troy Tulowitzki injured his groin in May of last season, and although it appeared he would return towards the end of the year, he remained sidelined for the remainder of the season. A healthy Tulowitzki can impact the Rockies more than nearly any other player in all of baseball, though he hasn't been able to stay healthy for the majority of his career. While I can't see the Rockies finishing any better than last in their division, I'm planning to watch "Tulo" nonetheless, to see if he can finally have a successful, fully healthy season.
8. How the Blue Jays, Dodgers and Angels perform with their new additions:
The Blue Jays, Dodgers and Angels made the biggest splashes of nearly every other team in all of baseball this past offseason; at least of the teams that stand a chance of competing. Many have the Blue Jays going the distance, and winning it all, with the key additions of Jose Reyes, Melky Cabrera and 2012 Cy Young winner R.A. Dickey, to name a few, though I don't see it happening. I find myself siding more with the opinions of those who are betting on the Dodgers and Angels to have a great season.
The Angels' major addition of the offseason was undoubtedly Josh Hamilton, who, with the help of Mike Trout and Albert Pujols, has the ability to transform the Angels into an extremely competitive team. Hamilton might end up being the piece the Angels were missing last season, that will help them make the playoffs in 2013.
The number one addition of the offseason for the Dodgers was Zack Greinke, though they also acquired Hyun-Jin Ryu, the highly praised LHP from Korea. Adding them both, to go along with their already deep pitching rotation, could end up making the Dodgers a team to be reckoned with in 2013.
9. Whether or not the Nationals make it to the World Series:
Last season, Nationals' manager, Davey Johnson, made the bold statement that he should be fired if the Nat's didn't make the playoffs in 2012. Luckily for Johnson, they did, for the first time since 1933. This season, however, it's "World Series or bust" for the Nationals, and although I was a bit skeptical last year, I'm not putting it past them to make it all the way to the World Series this season, for what would be the first time in Nationals' franchise history. With a fantastic lineup, as well as one of the best starting rotations in all of baseball, they should go far in the coming season, though they'll have to make it past the favorited Braves, who many (myself included) have winning the division.
10. Which team(s) will have an unexpected breakout season:
Every season, it seems, there is a team or two that unexpectedly takes the baseball world by storm. On paper, they shouldn't be winning, but yet they come together as a team and are able to do amazing things. The 2012 example would be the Oakland Athletics and the Baltimore Orioles, as the majority of baseball fans, going into the 2012 season, didn't see the O's and A's exploding the way they did. Truly showing that baseball is extremely unpredictable. Any team has the chance to defy the odds, which is part of what makes baseball so great. Anything can happen.

TTM Autograph Requests Update # 2
Around a month ago, I blogged about the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests I was planning to send off to players during Spring Training. At the end of the post, I stated that I was going to be publishing a blog post every time I received back a couple autographs. Having received two more TTM autograph requests since my last update, I've now gotten back half of the requests I sent out, so I figured I'd post another update:
Casey Kelly is currently ranked as the number 69 prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB.com. He would probably be higher had it of not been for an elbow injury he endured for most of last season. An injury that limited Kelly to just 14 games pitched; 6 of which came in the majors. In the 6 games pitched at the big league level, Kelly went 2-3, with a 6.21 ERA, but showed signs of his readiness to be a major league pitcher. If Kelly doesn't begin the season with the Padres, it would be a real shame. He has the ability to be an impact player for an improving Padres team.
Although the ink from the autograph smudged off a bit in the mail, I'm very happy to add Jason Motte's autograph to my collection. Topping out at 100, and regularly hitting the upper 90's, Motte's overpowering fastball is what makes him one of the best closers in the game. Last season, Motte saved a total of 42 games for the Cardinals, recording 86 strikeouts in 72 innings pitched, on a 2.75 ERA. This season should see Motte posting more of the same type of stats as last year.
I still have autograph requests out for Mariano Rivera, Adam Jones, Tyler Skaggs, A.J. Pierzynski and Justin Masterson, so hopefully they'll come back soon, so I can write about them; though there's no guarantee they'll come back at all.
TTM Autograph Requests Update
A few weeks ago, I blogged about the through the mail (TTM) autograph requests I was planning to send off to players during Spring Training. At the end of the post, I stated that I was going to be publishing a blog post every time I received back a few autographs, and now that I've successfully gotten back some of the requests I sent, I figured I'd go ahead and type this entry up.
Of the ten total TTM's I sent off, I've received three of them back, with them being from:
Stefen Romero's 2012 season was truly remarkable. Batting .352 with 23 home runs and 101 RBI's, including 34 doubles, between A+ and AA, Romero showed his ability to produce stats far above what's generally expected from a 12th round draft pick. If he can keep on producing the same type of numbers in the coming season, it shouldn't be too long before he's helping out the big league club, up in Seattle.
Danny Hultzen is currently ranked as the number 18 overall prospect in all of baseball, according to MLB.com. Though a promotion from AA to AAA, mid-season, resulted in a bit of a struggle for Hultzen, overall, he had a decent 2012 season, posting a 9-7 record, with a 3.05 ERA. If Hultzen can find his groove again this season it wouldn't be that big of a surprise if he receives a call up from the Mariners towards the end of the year.
Though he had a rocky 2012 season–going 6-9 with a 4.26 ERA–many are still thinking that Sonny Gray will eventually pan out to become the front line starter he's projected to become. I have to agree, and certainly hope so. Gray ended the 2012 season with AAA, and as with Hultzen, if he can get his pitching consistency back under control, Gray could earn a job pitching for the Oakland A's at some point this season.
I still have autograph requests out for Mariano Rivera, Adam Jones, Casey Kelly, Tyler Skaggs, Jason Motte, A.J. Pierzynski and Justin Masterson, so hopefully they'll come back soon, so I can write about them; though there's no guarantee they'll come back at all.
Pitchers & Catchers Report; Autograph Requests
Today marks the official reporting date for pitchers and catchers to Spring Training, and therefore, after nearly four months since the Giants won the 2012 World Series, it's officially time for baseball once again. For die-hard baseball fans, like myself, this long awaited day couldn't have come sooner.
The Red Sox, Rockies, Cubs and Indians had their pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training on Sunday, however, the majority of pitchers and catchers are set to report to camp sometime over the course of the next 48 hours: The D-back's, Braves, Reds, Tigers, Astros, Royals, Marlins, Mets, Athletics and Pirates reporting date is today, with the Orioles, White Sox, Angels, Dodgers, Brewers, Twins, Yankees, Cardinals, Padres, Giants, Mariners, Rays, Rangers, Blue Jays and Nationals set to report tomorrow. (The Phillies' pitchers and catchers report on Wednesday.)
Once all of the pitchers and catchers have reported, on Wednesday, there will be a mere 45 days until the first official game of the 2013 MLB regular season, which begins on March 31st, with the Houston Astros taking on the Texas Rangers.
But I'm not quite ready to jump ahead to the start of the regular season, just yet, as I still have a lot I want to talk about in the coming weeks. Therefore, for the time being, I'd like to take a minute to discuss something I love to do this time of year (besides watch Spring Training games on TV.) Every Spring Training, for the past two or three years, I've sent out a handful of through the mail (TTM) autograph requests to different players around the league. This year, I'm going to be sending out a dozen, or so, TTM's, with the best player being Mariano Rivera.
Rivera is known to be one of the better TTM autograph signers (as far as big name players go), if you send to him during Spring Training, however, I've failed to get back an auto from Rivera in either of the past two years that I've sent to him. This year, I'm hoping to have better luck, as with this (more than likely) being Rivera's final season, it's basically my final shot.
While Rivera is the player that I'm most hoping to receive back, he's not the only well known player that I'm hoping to obtain a signature from. In addition to Rivera, I'm sending out requests to guys like Jason Motte, Adam Jones, Justin Masterson, etc., who, according to what I've read, are decent signers through the mail.
I'm also planning to send to a few minor league players, who received an invitation to big league Spring Training, including Danny Hultzen, Casey Kelly and Stefen Romero, who are all supposed to be great about signing.
As stated, my overall TTM autograph history is a short one; I've only been doing it for the past few years. In that short time, however, I've acquired a few decent players' autographs. My best ever success, which coincidentally was my first success, came from Mark McGwire, back in March of 2011. Apparently, McGwire doesn't sign TTM all that often, but for some reason he decided to do so for a few weeks during Spring Training. Needless to say, I was extremely excited to get that one back.
I'm planning to post a blog entry for every autograph I receive back from the players I'm sending TTM requests to during Spring Training. Hopefully, it won't be all that terribly long before I start getting them back (maybe a few weeks?). So be sure to check back for that, over the course of the next few months….
Wrigley Field 100 Year Logo Contest
Wrigley Field doesn't turn 100 years old until 2014, but that's not stopping the Cubs from planning ahead. Recently announcing a rather intriguing contest, the Cubs are looking for a logo, designed by the fans, to commemorate the 100th year of baseball at Wrigley Field.
Basically, the Cubs are searching for logo submissions that somehow incorporate the 100th anniversary of Wrigley Field; how you choose to design the logo is up to you. The eligible logos received by the deadline, on February 28th, will be judged on overall appearance, originality, creativity, style and quality of the design, with the finalists being announced next month.
The decision for which logo will be used will then be left up to the fans, as the finalists' logo designs will be voted on throughout the entire months of March and April, with the winner being notified by April 30th.
The winning designer and a guest will receive a flight and accommodations in Chicago to be honored during a logo unveiling event before a late-summer home game at Wrigley Field. The winner will also receive two tickets to the game, as well as a personalized 2014 jersey. (This coming word for word from the contest's details.)
Not a bad deal, for merely designing a logo.
If you'd like the chance to have your 'Wrigley Field 100 Year' logo featured by the Cubs throughout the 2014 season–showing up all over the place, including the possibility of a patch on the players' jerseys–make sure to enter by the deadline, which, as stated, falls on the 28th.
I entered the logo contest earlier today, but, although I spent a couple of hours on it, my design, in my opinion, isn't all that professional looking (I have no photoshop talent, whatsoever), so I'm not going to be posting a picture of the design on here. If it makes it past the initial judging round, and subsequently gets posted on the Cubs' website to be voted on, then I'll obviously write an article on it. But I really don't see that happening.
On a much different note, I added a countdown calendar to the sidebar, on the right (below 'Recent Posts'). At the moment it's counting down to when pitchers and catchers report to Spring Training, however, I'm planning to change it throughout all of 2013. So if ever you're unsure of how long it is until an upcoming major MLB related event, you can check back with the countdown on the sidebar.
Spring Training……(Sigh)
Am I the only baseball fan out there that thinks Spring Training is boring?
That's the reason, there's not a single sentence on this blog (until now), metioning the words spring and training in the same sentence. I just can't get into it.
Maybe it's just me. But I feel like I'm watching a Minor League baseball game, whenever I turn the T.V. to a preseason game. Spring Training, to me, lacks the excitement you get during a regular season game.
Now don't get me wrong. If you LIVE for spring training, or something like that, I envy you. You get into something that I don't think I'll ever get into.
First of all, the stadiums are small. Thus the number of fans are limited. Then there's the fact that all of your favorite players, and the team stars, get removed halfway through the game. Also, the fans don't seem as die hard as they do during the regular season. I mean, I realize that a spring training game has just a few thousand fans, while a regular season game has tens of thousands. But, the other day during a game, a player (I'm not sure who) hit a three-run home run. Man, I've heard more applause and cheer from the parents of little leaguers when their kids get a single. Unbelievable.
It probably is just me. But I won't feel like baseball is really here, until I look and see that the date is March 31st. The day of the first games of the regular season.

Bleak Expectations is a BBC Radio 4 comedy series, parodying the works of Dickens, and Radio 4's own adaptations of them. (The third season was broadcast concurrent with a straight dramatisation of Our Mutual Friend, and a listener wrote to Radio 4's Feedback to say it was difficult to tell them apart.)The first season tells the tale of young Philip "Pip" Put-That-In-The Bin, who is separated from his insane mother and sent to a Boarding School of Horrors by his cruel guardian, but nonetheless manages to make his way in the world and come out on top, thanks to perseverance, intelligence, and a series of Contrived Coincidences.The second tells how everything starts to go wrong again, when Pip's guardian comes Back from the Dead to wreak his revenge, and the third, fourth and fifth continue on much the same lines, only Mr Gently Benevolent is now undead, and the plot has slipped away from pastiching others to forge its own unhinged path.The adventures are presented as being told by the now-elderly Sir Philip Bin to a Times journalist he despises. In the second season, the journalist has become his son-in-law, which makes Sir Philip despise him even more.Creator Mark Evans released a novelization of the first series in November 2012, accompanying the beginning of the final series. A TV Spiritual Successor, The Bleak Old Shop Of Stuff, was broadcast on BBC 2 in 2011.

Christian mother killed by Muslim attacker after rape attempt in Pakistan
Country/Region: Pakistan, South and East Asia
A Christian mother of four was slaughtered by a Muslim colleague in Pakistan after she resisted his attempt to rape her at the factory where they worked.
A scene from Karachi, Pakistan, where the incident took place
Zubaida Bibi (35), a cleaner at a garment factory in East Karachi, was attacked by a Muslim co-worker on 12 October. She went into the bathrooms to clean the facilities and he followed her, locking the door behind them.
When he attempted to assault Zubaida sexually, she cried for help, at which point the attacker pulled out a dagger and slit her throat. She died at the scene. He was arrested at the factory after the management called the police.
Zubaida leaves husband Younas Masih and children Arifa Bibi, Uroosa Bibi, Shahzaib Masih and Aurengzaib Masih.
Younas said:
I want justice... My wife was innocent and noble lady. She was working for our children.
Christian women are particularly vulnerable to sexual attacks by influential Muslims in Pakistan, and incidents are on the rise. They often go unreported, and if a case does reach the courts, the Muslim culprits often walk free.
Barnabas Fund supports a Pakistani Christian legal organisation, CLAAS, that helps women who are victims of rape and other crimes. Lawyers fight for cases to be taken up by the authorities and pursue justice for women in the courts.
CLAAS recently secured a conviction in the case of a 20-year-old Christian woman, Gulshan Bibi, who had been gang raped. After a long and protracted court battle, during which CLAAS faced pressure from influential opponents, the main culprit, Aman Ullah, was sentenced to life imprisonment, while co-accused Ramzan alias Jani was given a five-year jail term.

Consumers Union Urges FDA To Require Safety Testing Of Metal On Metal Hips And Other High Risk Implants
WASHINGTON, April 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Consumers Union urged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration today to adopt a proposed rule requiring metal hip implants to be reviewed through the agency's premarket approval (PMA) process to prove that the devices are safe and effective.
In a comment letter to the FDA signed by more than 11,000 consumers, Consumers Union called on the agency to re-classify all high risk implantable medical devices under the PMA process so clinical evidence will be required to show their effectiveness and safety before the devices can be sold.
"Thousands of patients have been seriously injured by faulty metal on metal hip implants and other medical devices that were never properly tested before being cleared for sale," said Lisa McGiffert, Director of Consumers Union's Safe Patient Project ( www.safePatientProject.org). "It's time to stop experimenting on patients and require more rigorous safety testing of all high risk implants to prevent flawed medical devices from reaching the market."
A copy of Consumers Union's letter to the FDA follows:April 18, 2013Food and Drug Administration Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0661 To Whom It May Concern: Consumers Union and the more than 11,000 people signing this letter due to their concern about high-risk implants are in full support of the FDA proposal (Docket No. FDA-2011-N-0661) to require all metal on metal (MoM) hips to be reviewed through the agency's premarket approval (PMA) process. It is too late for thousands of people who have been harmed by these implants that were cleared for market through a loophole in the law that allowed them to be sold without thorough review by the FDA to assure safety, even though they were classified as "high risk." We also strongly support the proposal's requirement for makers of hip implants in this category that are already on the market to provide critical safety information to the agency within 90 days. However, it is troublesome that MoM hips can continue to be commercially distributed up to 90 days after the FDA order.

No, German aristocrats were pretty non-existent in most parts of the Eastern Europe. The association of the German with Uberwald comes from the fact, that Transilvania, popularized by the seminal Bram Stoker's novel was a part of Austro-Hungarian Empire, where a large part of nobility (and virtually all _ruling_ nobility) was of Germanic origin. And that's dead center of Europe. Anything East was Russian Empire, where German-speaking people were pretty scarce.

There was a lot of arguing under the entry for
Girl Genius
. None of it really looked relevant to the page, but I figured I'd post it here in case somebody felt like re-adding it in a non-Nattery fashion:
The castle and town
is presumably a mis-translation by the authors of the English
. Unfortunately the authors
did not look in a dictionary
, or looked up the wrong entry, because they confused the noun "(strong)hold", meaning a keep, fortress or castle, with the verb "to hold". So they arrived at "storm = sturm" and "to hold = halten", when the correct translation into German would have yielded
or, for a more archaic feeling,
. * sigh*
It could be a mistranslation... or perhaps they could actually mean "to hold the storm", as in to hold the power of lightning in your Sparky hand. Wouldn't surprise me either way.
Considering that the distinguishing feature of the town's keep is a
lightning moat...
It could also mean "we hold the storm" or "we keep the storm" since halten is used as the conjugation for the plural first person. This makes sense given Tarvek's revelation that
he is the lineal descendant of the Storm King and the
Storm King
. The family's name, "Sturmvoraus", likewise means "
ahead of the storm
And, to take a third alternate, it could mean "to/we hold the storm" in the sense that it holds the Sturmvoraus family and their "stormy" relations-they're noted to be a particularly virulent and venomous family, and giving them a little power struggle to nurse keeps them out of everyone else's hair. Regardless of how you interpret the name, Sturmhalten certainly captures the spirit of the trope, which in Discworld is acknowledged as being, politically speaking, "not so much a country as an argument."

Scholarship Auditions
All prospective music students (any major at PC) can now submit a music audition online.
Once you have clicked on the APPLY FOR MUSIC SCHOLARSHIP HERE link (bottom of page) and created an account, you will complete the requested information and – once you have uploaded an audition video – YOU CAN SUBMIT. At any time, you can use the "Save and Exit" button on the upper left side of the page.
You will not be able to "Submit" until you have uploaded your video. You can make the video with your smartphone, a camera that captures video, a videocamera – almost any way and almost any format.
An advantage to auditioning online is that YOU control your product. Auditioning on campus means having only one chance with the faculty – and nerves, health, state of mind can really influence how you perform. Submitting a video allows you QUALITY CONTROL over your recording.
The single most important factor for full consideration for a music scholarship is early submission (Fall 2014) of the application. Scholarship applications/auditions submitted in September, October, November, and December will ensure full consideration. A January audition date has been scheduled, but this date is reserved for December/January applicants.

I heard this was going to happen but didn't want to belive it. Buzz is really good; Stitch is all right(not as unique as AE) but, this is just ridiculous. Why is WDW building another Turtle Talk-style attraction? From what I've seen the original show(TT) isn't all that amazing once you get over how they control the character's facial expressions. Then other thoughts start entering your head..."Oh wow, some guy is speaking like a surfer into a microphone, incredible!" Don't get me wrong the show is okay and pure magic for little kids but, making two of these types of attractions is silly. It's sort of like how CV-360 was way back when. They're going crazy with this style of presentation.
I'm saddened that Fantasyland East will be realized. Even with all this though, hopefully I'm just getting the wrong vibe from this thing. Here's to it being a great attraction and a amazing improvement.
^ Oh wow... I can't believe I had that much to say. I guess that's my two cents.

Thank you Tucker
We absolutely fell in love with Onancock. The town has gourmet restaurants and stores, a Saturday fresh air market, a great theater, a wonderful marina and the friendliest folks. Everywhere we went in town people would say hello. Even the police officer in town stopped to talk and tell us about the town. I felt like we were in Mayberry on the water. This home is a historic gem. We played on the water every day, all day and in the evenings we sat and enjoyed the amazing breezes and sunset over the water. I took my morning coffee to the dock every day and watched the sunrise. The owner really worked with us. We had a challenge with air conditioners and 2 new ones were delivered the same day. We really appreciated this. Thank you! All we would say is that you understand that this is an historic home dating to the 1700's Treat it with great care and understand that on the bay there will be some mosquitos. Bring your bug spray. If you can visit when planning that is great. :)

Intrauterine Device Removal
(IUD Removal; Removal, Intrauterine Device; Removal, IUD; Copper Intrauterine Device Removal; Copper IUD Removal; Removal, Copper Intrauterine Device; Removal, Copper IUD; Hormone-releasing Intrauterine Device Removal; Hormone-releasing IUD Removal; Removal, Hormone-releasing Intrauterine Device; Removal, Hormone-releasing IUD)
Pronounced: in-trah-U-tah-rin dee-vice ree-MOO-vahl
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
An intrauterine device (IUD) is a type of temporary birth control for women. The device is usually used to prevent pregnancy. The hormone-releasing device may be used for other reasons. It is inserted into the uterus though the vagina by a doctor. The uterus carries the fetus during pregnancy.
A woman with an IUD may decide to have it removed. IUD removal is done by a doctor. You should never remove an IUD yourself.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
There are two types of IUDs: hormone-releasing devices and copper devices.
The hormone-releasing IUD can be left in the body for 5 years before needing replacement. The copper IUD can be left in the body for 10 years. An IUD should be removed and/or replaced once it has expired.
Other reasons to remove an IUD may include:
- You get a sexually transmitted infection
- Side effects (eg, abnormal bleeding, pain)
- Heavy and/or prolonged menstrual bleeding
- IUD fails and you become pregnant
- You want to use a different birth control method
- You want to become pregnant
- Your menstrual periods have ended due to menopause
- You need treatment that requires the IUD to be removed
Possible Complications
Complications are rare, but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are planning to have your IUD removed, be aware that cramping and bleeding may occur during the removal process. However, this is normal. Some women may experience fainting or near-fainting just after the procedure.
An IUD can be removed at any time, but it may be easier during a woman's menstrual period, since the cervix (opening of the uterus) is softer. Once the IUD is removed, a woman is able to become pregnant again.
Note : If you have the IUD removed during the middle of your menstrual cycle and you had sex during the week before removal, you may be at risk of being pregnant.
What to Expect
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor will go over the steps to remove the IUD. This is also a good time to ask your doctor any questions regarding the procedure. It is important to think about what other type of birth control you will want to use once the IUD is out if you do not want to become pregnant. Sometimes you may need to start the other method before the IUD is removed.
In most cases, no anesthesia is used. You might be given pain medicine or have an anesthetic applied to your cervix to ease any discomfort during the removal.
Description of the Procedure
This procedure is usually done in an office or clinic setting with no need for an overnight stay.
First, the doctor will insert a speculum into the vagina so she can see the cervix. The doctor may clean your cervix and vagina with an antiseptic, like iodine. Next, she will locate the strings attached to the IUD. The strings usually hang out from the cervix into the far back of the vagina. The doctor will ask you to take deep, slow breaths. It is important to relax during the procedure. Your doctor will use forceps or other tools to grasp the strings and gently pull the IUD out.
If you are having your IUD replaced, the new IUD will be inserted at this time.
There may be situations where it is difficult to remove the IUD. In these cases, your doctor may refer you to a specialist. There is a chance that the IUD may need to be removed using a hysteroscope. This is a long, thin telescope with a camera and tools on the end. The hysteroscope will be inserted into your vagina and uterus to locate and remove the IUD.
How Long Will It Take?
The procedure only takes a few minutes to set up and perform.
Will It Hurt?
You may experience cramping and bleeding while the IUD is being removed. This is normal.
Post-procedure Care
Be sure to follow any instructions your doctor gave you when you return home after the procedure. If you are starting a new contraceptive method, make sure you ask any questions about it. If you are going to attempt to become pregnant, begin taking prenatal vitamins.
Call Your Doctor
After arriving home, contact your doctor if any of the following occurs:
- Severe cramps, pain, or tenderness in your abdomen
- Fever or chills
- Unexplained vaginal bleeding or unusual discharge from your vagina
