Lexington Stakes: Examen not using race as Kentucky Derby prep
LEXINGTON, Ky. – The winner of the Coolmore Lexington Stakes on Saturday at Keeneland will earn 20 "wild card" points toward eligibility for the May 4 Kentucky Derby, which at this juncture looks like enough points to crack the 20-horse lineup.
Tom Proctor, who will send out Examen in the Lexington, doesn't much care.
"I don't need anybody or any points to tell me whether I have a Derby horse or not," Proctor said with his usual candor. "He's not even nominated."
Nonetheless, Proctor said Examen might well be good enough to win the Grade 3, $200,000 Lexington, for which about 10 3-year-olds were expected when entries were drawn Wednesday. Examen, a chestnut by Giant's Causeway, has won both his starts since being gelded last fall and looks like one of the top contenders in the 1 1/16-mile Polytrack race.
"He's a May foal and just starting to figure things out," Proctor said.
Bred and owned by Charles and Scott Heider, Examen "doesn't need to go through all that [Derby] grind," Proctor said. "I'd actually like to win the Swaps with him this summer at Hollywood Park. I was going to leave him out in California, but we thought he might like the synthetic, so we brought him this way to find out."
Another Lexington prospect by Giant's Causeway who sports plenty of upside is Winning Cause, whose trainer, Todd Pletcher, also said he and the colt's owner, the Alto Racing LLC of Gil Moultray, are likely to pass on the Derby even in the case of victory Saturday.
"We have no thoughts of the Derby at this time," said Pletcher, who already has as many as five starters for the Derby.
Winning Cause streaked home a winner in a Polytrack allowance sprint during the opening weekend of the Keeneland spring meet and is 2 for 2 over the local surface.
Pure Fun, a Grade 1-winning filly whose connections are hoping to use the Lexington as a springboard to the May 3 Kentucky Oaks, could be a slight favorite over her male opposition Saturday. Other probables for the race include Cerro, Hip Four Sixty Nine, Johnny Handsome, Pick of the Litter, Title Contender, and Where's Dominic.
Gotta like Proctor's style!
I don't get the 20 points is enough to get in the derby as far as I can tell no 20 right now is dens legacy with 20 points then there are 3 more horses with 20 points the horse in 19th has 30 points..so even if you get 3 defections 20 points is iffy.
cerro wins

We realized after deciding to carry taper candle holders that we needed taper candles. The search was on. We wanted unique, colorful candles that were hand-crafted in the US. After many hours of searching we finally located these colorful hand-painted paraffin tapers.
We asked Aloha Bay, "Why Paraffin?"
Their answer, "In short, because it's part of our tradition. Back in 1993, when our company was founded, we started out with a line of very decorative taper candles. We used paraffin to make them, just like every other candle maker at the time. Hardly anybody knew about vegetable waxes. So we keep them around, because they are a unique product. We even tried to make them out of palm wax, a superior wax in our opinion, but couldn't make that work."
We hope you like these unique treasures.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 17, 2002 DoD is getting "more tools in its toolkit" to properly shape an aging civilian work force, a senior personnel official said.
Roughly 18,000 employees retired in 2001, and officials estimate 20,000 will take the plunge this year, said Jack Schrader, deputy assistant secretary of defense for civilian personnel policy. He said as many as 24,000 people per year may retire by 2007. Retirements account for roughly half of the personnel attrition DoD deals with in a given year.
"We need to try to shape those losses to make sure that critical employees stay around long enough to transition the knowledge that they have to newer employees that are coming up through the ranks," Schrader said.
He said it's also critical that the department hire the right people with the right skills into the right jobs. "The focus needs to be on how to manage the attrition and then managing the filling of those vacancies, to make sure we don't do it in a nonfocused way," Schrader said.
To do this, DoD is employing several strategies to boost recruitment.
Statutory changes in recent years allow retired military members to take civil service jobs without having their federal civilian salary being offset for their military retirement pay. Schrader said officials hope this will make civil service a more attractive option for military retirees.
"Retired military are at an age where they have many productive years ahead of them," he said. "They have skills and are trained in a lot of our mission-critical areas."
Civil service human-resource managers have typically relied on a "military model" for recruitment. Schrader said this meant hiring people for entry-level jobs and then "growing" them into higher-level positions within their departments. DoD is now looking to attract individuals in middle- or upper-level private sector jobs.
"Where people have skills that perhaps aren't critical skills any longer, we're putting resources toward training and retraining them into the skill areas we need," he said.
"A lot of times the skills we need are the same skills the private sector is after also," he said. To be a more competitive recruiter, DoD has added perks new employees can qualify for, Schrader said. These include paying off student loans up to $40,000, paying recruitment bonuses up to 25 percent of the first year's salary, and paying for professional credentials.
Government employment traditionally has been considered more stable than private-sector employment. Schrader said this stability attracts a lot of prospective employees.
He also said many young people are attracted by the prospect of serving their country. "We need to remind people that service to the nation is a good cause," he said. "With recent events, I think that that probably is even more of a selling point."

Circa 1948: An early publicity shot of Marilyn Monroe (Norma Jean Mortenson or Norma Jean Baker, 1926 - 1962).
In 1956, there was no film star in the world more famous than Marilyn Monroe. But at the peak of her popularity, the cinematic bombshell was determined to overturn her dumb-blonde image and be taken more seriously as an actress.
That year, Monroe moved to New York to study Method acting with Lee Strasberg, launched her own production company and, two weeks after marrying playwright Arthur Miller, flew to England to make The Prince and the Showgirl with Laurence Olivier.
"This was an incredibly important moment in Marilyn's life," says British director Simon Curtis, whose new film, My Week With Marilyn, stars Michelle Williams in a transformative turn as Monroe during the tumultuous period she spent in London filming, and sparring, with Olivier (played by Kenneth Branagh).
"The newlywed Marilyn arrived in London prouder than she'd ever been," Curtis says. "She was married to a towering intellectual and came to England to work with the great Olivier, which she thought would make her happy and at last give her credibility. The story of our film is how all that went so wrong, and how at this crossroads she confided in the most unlikely of young bystanders."
Based on gofer's diaries
My Week With Marilyn is based on the intimate, confessional diaries written in '56 (and not published until 2000) by Colin Clark, the son of art historian Kenneth Clark, who at age 23 was hired as third assistant director (read "gofer") on The Prince and the Showgirl Clark, played in the film by fresh-faced British actor Eddie Redmayne (The Good Shepherd, The Other Boleyn Girl), gained Monroe's trust and, surprisingly, became the actress' friend, protector and almost lover during the ill-fated six-month shoot.
A high point of Clark's memoir, and the coming-of-age movie it has inspired, is the week he spent alone with the deeply vulnerable Monroe touring the English countryside - visiting Windsor Castle and his alma mater, Eton College (which Redmayne also attended), skinny-dipping in a river and sharing an unforgettable kiss.
"I suppose it's the romantic in me that just loved the idea of an unknown and untested young man entering a magic world in which he gets to have this erotically charged week with the most famous woman in the world,' " Curtis says. "I thought, 'My god, this is a story worth telling.' "
A portrait of the actress
"For so many people, Marilyn Monroe is known more as a legend than an actress," says Curtis, who helmed the Emmy Award-winning Cranford series. "They know her as a still photograph, a Warhol image, even a brand more than they've seen her films."
Curtis agreed with screenwriter Adrian Hodges (Tom and Viv) that the world could use a more generous portrayal of Monroe and hoped this treatment could "bring back some of her human qualities again."
My Week With Marilyn is a snapshot in time rather than a biopic, yet the film's success is wholly dependent on an actress believably bringing to life Monroe's sexual magnetism and profound despair.
When she first read the script for My Week With Marilyn, Williams knew immediately she wanted to do it "but then spent the next six months trying to talk myself out of it," she says by phone. The petite actress admits she "looks not a bit like Marilyn" and "had to be sure I was up to this monumental challenge."
Williams has a reputation for portraying a kind of damaged fragility on screen, as a betrayed wife (opposite the late Heath Ledger, with whom she has a child) in Brokeback Mountain or a young mother in a disintegrating marriage in Blue Valentine Both roles earned her Academy Award nominations. Her transfixing performance as Monroe has been generating significant pre-Oscar buzz.
Turning into Marilyn
"I feel lucky that my primary identification with Marilyn happened when I was young," Williams says. "I had a picture of her on my wall growing up. She's barefoot in the grass, not yet the icon or anybody's sex symbol. That image stayed with me, so when I started to approach this project it didn't feel quite so intimidating."
Williams' transformation from indie waif to swizzle-hips siren involved 10 months of research and preparation before shooting. She immersed herself in biographies, diaries and poems, watching Monroe's movies and old clips.
"Because it was such a complete rebuild of myself, basically I kind of demolished myself and started again from scratch," Williams says. "There were many little victories along the way. One was getting her walk, which combined finding the right heel height, practicing by tying a belt around my knees, keeping my torso up and realizing she moved in a kind of undulation. That famous wiggle was almost like a figure eight. Someone once said, 'She looks like she's moving through a vat of honey.'
"Another discovery was when I finally cracked her voice, at least her voice as I perceive it because there are no natural recorded conversations of her to my knowledge. We're all familiar with that breathy voice of hers from films, but that wasn't her real voice. Even when she was interviewed, there was something very careful and studied about her; she was trying to make a certain kind of impression."
This element of layered artifice is central to Williams' performance since she in effect plays three Marilyns in this film: the public celebrity, the privately tortured and insecure young woman, and the character Elsie in The Prince and the Showgirl
'Always shifting'
"What gives Michelle's performance its richness is that she's always shifting," Curtis says. "Marilyn was famous for her mood swings from one demeanor to another." Because the film tells the story through the young Clark's eyes, "we see a rather naïve young man watching and anticipating Marilyn's upward and downward spirals." Clark finds Monroe distraught and sedated one night after she discovered unflattering comments about her in Arthur Miller's journal. Yet he also sees her radiate more zest and genuine star quality on set than Olivier and his high-brow British cast. (Judi Dench plays actress Dame Sybil Thorndike, who befriends Monroe. Julia Ormond plays Olivier's wife, Vivien Leigh.)
Curtis compares My Week With Marilyn to Sofia Coppola's nuanced Lost in Translation, "another film about two random, very different people who come into each other's orbit and have a tremendously intense impact on each other and then go their separate ways.
"I was very struck by a phrase Clark uses in the introduction (to his diaries): 'This is a fairy tale which nevertheless was true.' "

could reduce the loading time and any safety issues associated with manual handling of the overpacked munitions.
Both the DAVINCH and the CH2M HILL TDC system have suitable air pollution control systems and are already designed to withstand detonations of energetics. Although both technologies use donor explosives to access the munition bodies and destroy the agent fill, it may be possible to use only enough donor charges to access the munition cavities (as is the case with the EDS) and to then use an external source of hot gas to destroy the agent rather than using the donor charge to do this. This could alleviate safety concerns associated with the handling of energetics and would reduce stresses on the containment vessels associated with the detonations. An approach of this nature was once used to eliminate residual agent from the TDC (NRC, 2006).
Processing of Nonenergetic RCWM
Some of the RCWM at large burial sites will not contain energetics such as bursters and fuzes but may still contain detectable quantities of agent. This materiel includes previously opened and drained munition bodies, scrap metal, and former production plant equipment, as is expected to be found at RSA, for example. Rather than destroying residual agent using donor charges in explosive containment vessels such as the TDC or the DAVINCH, other options exist. These include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Processing through high-temperature furnaces similar to the Blue Grass metal parts treater or the Pueblo metal treatment unit or the metal parts furnaces used at the now-closed U.S. chemical munition incineration facilities. In all cases, the systems would need to be gas tight and have appropriate air pollution control trains.
• Processing through a commercial transportable hazardous waste incinerator with a rotary kiln. These systems are gas-tight and are equipped with suitable air pollution control systems.
• Processing through a car bottom furnace. Such furnaces feature cars (carts) on which the munitions would be loaded that can be rolled on rails into and out of the furnace. A car bottom furnace used for the munition body application would need to be of gas-tight construction and have an air pollution control train for discharge of the off-gases.
• Treating with decontamination solution and then analyzing the headspace. This is repeated until the headspace concentration is below the VSL. The decontaminated waste can then be shipped off-site for recycling.14
• Using the Dynasafe SDC 1200 as noted above. The SDC 1200 relies on heat to destroy agent in munitions still containing an agent fill, whether explosively configured or not. It can also be used to destroy residual quantities of agent in previously opened and treated munitions and to treat contaminated scrap metal, assuming that the metal can fit into the SDC loading chambers.
Finding 6-10. A program to investigate technologies such as the SDC that can process burned and opened munition bodies that might still contain residual agent and energetics is justified.
Recommendation 6-8. NSCMP should evaluate the Dynasafe static detonation chamber for its ability to destroy recovered chemical warfare materiel, including burned and previously opened munition bodies that still contain detectable traces of agent and agent-contaminated scrap metal. This evaluation should include possible modifications to the SDC feed system, changes in the residence time in the SDC chamber, and changes to its off-gas treatment system.
Recommendation 6-9. If a Dynasafe static detonation chamber is not available for destroying agent in recovered open munition bodies, or is needed full time for the destruction of intact munitions, the Project Manager for Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel should evaluate available alternatives for decontaminating non-energetic recovered chemical warfare materiel.
Finding 6-11. Many items that are expected to be found at Redstone Arsenal are anticipated to contain agent or to be agent-contaminated. At the same time, they will be too large to be fed to available or commonly used decontamination technologies.
Recommendation 6-10. The Non-Stockpile Chemical Materiel Project should begin preparations for treatment of unusually large agent-contaminated or agent-filled items at Redstone Arsenal.
Soil and sludge contaminated with agent, degradation products from agent and energetics and, as mentioned in Chapters 4 and 5, industrial chemicals, including pesticides and solvents, will be found at CWM remediation sites. In the remediation projects at Camp Sibert and Spring Valley, contaminated soil was sent to commercial TSDFs for disposal. The Camp Siebert project manager briefed the committee on one waste analysis issue, difficulties in obtaining toxicity characteristic leaching procedure analyses on soil contaminated with agent; these difficulties caused delays. TSDFs require such analyses before accepting the soil for land disposal. The Edgewood Chemical Biological Center laboratories do not perform these analyses, and commercial

The internet is mostly driven by text. We've made great strides to add images, videos, and audio to the web, but most web pages are still text-driven. Blog posts, discussion forums, navigation, news articles, tweets, Facebook status updates…
Despite that, many users read very little of the text on most webpages. Rather than reading, we scan for the first thing that looks like the next step towards accomplishing our goal. We look for bolded and emphasized words. We look for headers, sections, and we scan. TL;DR is a popular acronym for this very reason.
Images can often go where text currently resides. For example, rather than Netflix presenting a Google-style search, they choose to simply show images of the disc cases and let users hover to see more textual details. This pattern is becoming more and more common.
The reason is that while we're a bit too lazy to read text, we love images. Images go to the spatial processing part of our brain, which allows for more bandwidth and parallel processing. This means we can process much more information more quickly with images than with text.
Images are great for setting the mood and environment and giving users a quicker way to scan through collections. One popular technique is to begin a search based on images, then as the results filter down, to start add more textual details for comparisons.
Simple images can be just as effective as complex photography. Beautiful photography will always have its place, but often even simple line drawings are highly effective to communicate the data.
Where have you opted for images over text? Let us know in the comments!

I went on holiday with family for 4 days. I wanted to see if I could pull off shooting a promo video video while on vacation.
Could I do it without ignoring family?
In the end I was able to do both - and take part in fixing up the cabin bit too!
My gopro got wet and died after 1 shot :(

Hmm…it looks like things are taking a while to load. Try again?

7 Tips for Maximizing Time and Deepening Relationships with Executives
|1. It's not impossible to get serious face time with senior executives.
2. Getting serious face time with senior executives doesn't need to take forever.
3. The code is crackable.
"It's impossible to get serious face time with senior executives."
"Even getting 15 minutes with a senior executive can take 15 months."
I hear things like this all the time from professionals, sellers, and other business leaders who want to get more time with decision makers, but haven't yet cracked the code.
Let's start by setting a few things straight:
1. It's not impossible to get serious face time with senior executives.
2. Getting serious face time with senior executives doesn't need to take forever.
3. The code is crackable.
It's a common misconception that senior executives don't have time. Based on extensive research in the area, I'm prepared to reveal a startling fact: Decision makers have 24 hours in each day, and a statistically significant number of them manage these days in bundles of seven called a week.
Shocking! But true: 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
What may actually be interesting is how they spend this time. They don't meet only with internal colleagues, they don't meet only in 15-minute blocks, and they don't disappear into the nights and weekends to spend extended time only with their families.
Many executives pour their time into meetings and relationships. In our research, executives often cite that their relationships with people across companies and industries – colleagues, partners, and "vendors" alike – are essential to their success.
They have long meetings with people outside their organizations. They have breakfast meetings, lunch meetings, and dinner meetings. They ski, fish, take in games, and go to the ballet. They maintain relationships over time.
They are, indeed, doing all of these things and more. The question is this: Why aren't they doing them with you?
Through a decade of research – including benchmark reports focused on clients, buying, conversations and relationships, a number of books on the subject, and work with tens of thousands of senior executives on the buyer and seller side – we've learned that the best relationship developers get extended time with senior executives when they do the following:
1. Establish a peer dynamic: Under no circumstances should you come across as inferior to a senior executive. This doesn't mean you need to be an arrogant snot.
It does mean you must have confidence in the value you can offer from a business perspective, and confidence in yourself personally that the C-suite is where you should be.
2. Get over personal hang-ups: Tell yourself any of the following, you're in trouble:
- Senior executives' time is more important than mine
- Senior executives aren't my peers
- Senior executives don't want to be friends with me
- I don't want to be friends with senior executives
- I'm not interesting enough or don't provide enough value to be worthy of senior executive attention
- I'll just be too nervous; I'll mess up
- I shouldn't talk about, or ask about, anything personal
- I shouldn't ask them to grab dinner and then go to an event with me
- I won't get through so why bother trying
Often the greatest barriers to establishing ongoing, rich relationships with senior executives are personal hang ups. If relationships with top people are what you want, don't psyche yourself out of your chance.
3. Resonate on the business side: Often people don't understand what's going to be important to senior executives.
One time a friend of mine was sure he was going to win an engagement that would save his client $10 million. Then he lost the deal. Like the sharp cookie he is, he asked why. The client said, "I get that I could do this and save $10 million, but I'm working on $50 million problems as a minimum threshold."
In this case, the ROI wasn't big enough for the executive to care about it.
And make sure you don't just focus on problems. The higher up you get, the more you'll find people who are looking for business growth, innovation, and competitive advantage. Executives seek ideas that will be "the next big thing" for their business and their agenda. Bring these ideas to the table and you'll be on your way.
4. Resonate personally, emotionally: Never forget that senior executives are people just like you. They have emotions and personal interests. CEOs have kids, like sports, want to be seen as successful, are passionate about politics, and want to retire, drink fruity drinks with umbrellas and read CIA thrillers.
I've seen many a business pundit say, "Don't get too personal in a business setting."
Survey says…wrong.
Not sure I'd want to have a long dinner with them. Great relationships are complex. People make connections on all sorts of platforms, and emotional connections are among the most powerful.
Are you going to connect with everyone? Nope. Perhaps you head down a political conversation path and find you have nothing in common. OK. But next thing you know, you both love coaching kids' soccer and conversation ensues. And then you rib each other about how the other is wrong about politics.
A partner at a major services firm I know met someone on a plane and ended up talking about how they're both cancer survivors. They've been close for 10 years, and ended up doing a lot of business together. Did they plan it this way? No. Was the partner in any way exploiting cancer? No. It was a real connection and led to real, long-term friendship. This happens.
5. Lead masterful conversations: Leading masterful conversation is a big subject to cover, something I won't attempt to cover it in detail here. (Rainmaking Conversations is a good place to learn more.)
If you do not lead masterful conversations, you lose executives at hello. Ask irrelevant or too general questions. Go on too long. Make the other person educate you on background. Don't listen. Don't provide ideas. Don't know your stuff cold. Rely too much on slide presentations or materials. Seem uncomfortable or stilted when talking to them. Be irrelevant in any way (see previous point on resonate). Any of these conversational failings will bar your entrance to the inner circle.
6. Don't give up: Initially, it might take a while to get discussions with senior executives. Don't give up. Those who make it to the top are dogged about getting there.
Often, executives will only take meetings through trusted connections. Work your way up through lower-level contacts or other trusted relationships.
While less common, it is possible to get through without a referral. If you don't have the contacts that can get you in, reach out directly. Do it enough and you'll get through to some. (You don't need to get through to all.)
Don't give up and you'll get your first audience. Heed the advice in the rest of this article and you'll get the second, the third, the fourth, and so on.
7. Craft a meticulous personal brand: Getting quality, extended time with senior executives is all about being invited to the inner circle. Make no mistake, you will be judged as to whether you deserve to be there. Create a reputation as a known expert in your area. Create relationships with other executives and influential people. Make sure anything you put forth is of the highest quality. All of these signal whose "league" you're in.
Ultimately, if you want time and relationships with executives, you have to make sure they see you as in their league. It's up to you to do what you can to get there, and stay there.

Mike and Bob,
This is a great piece of work and advice. In my experience with C level advisory councils - it's clear to me that 1) the C suite are people too, 2) they WANT to have a personal pick up the phone and call relationship with vendors that "get it" and 3) to keep a relationship with them you need to know their business and industry (not the details of products/services - that's somebody else's job). Great stuff and keep it coming!!!

These guys are so right! (About a lot of stuff - been following them for years.) Sales management has been part of every role I've had for 20 years. In my experience observing sales people of all types, inside, outside, all ages, and levels of experience. Much time is wasted on building influence from the bottom up instead of going directly to the top because so many sales people are intimidated by seniority. I've written many a Post-It note for placement front and center in my staffs' offices with the words, "Everyone has bad breath in the morning."

Great tutorial on getting through to C Level Executives. You set a clear plan for making the contact. I would add another avenue. Work with their executive admins who can be a key to getting on their calendar also. Help the admin understand the value of a meeting with their boss and you will succeed most of the time.

Hello, Mike and Bob. Thank you for sharing your expertise. Wow, now I'm inspired to do great things in 2014! Getting rid of hang ups and really seeing myself among the best of the best - That will be one of my goals to reach. Talking about "the next level," you really captured what that means. After reading your article, it's no longer just words. I visualize and feel the meaning of "the next level." What an insight! Thank you for your time in reading this message. Take care.

Good stuff. Your points validate 14 years of research done by the Chally Group. Industry knowledge and being able to talk the C-Suite language is tops in my book. That is what creates the perspective that you are a peer. Sales reps get delegated to the level of the language they speak.

Map a Printer - Windows XP - Ohlone Wireless Networking, Information Technology (IT) Department
This document is geared toward wireless devices brought into Hyman Hall where the current wireless network is available. Administrative staff and faculty will need to manually map a printer using the IP address of the printer. Provided below is a list of the available printers with their IP address, printer Type/Model, and their location in Hyman Hall.
|IP Address
|Printer Type
|Room HH-102
|HP LaserJet 4100
|Room HH-102
|HP LaserJet 4550 COLOR PRINTER
|Room HH-120
|HP LaserJet 4100
|Room HH-123
|HP LaserJet 4100
|Room HH-202
|HP LaserJet 4100
|Room HH-222
|HP LaserJet 4100
|Room HH-223
|HP LaserJet 4100
|Room HH-223
|HP LaserJet 4100
First, make a note of the information associated with printer you will be mapping. Next, click on the "Start" button in the lower left corner of your desktop to open the "Start" menu. You will then need to select the "Printer and Faxes" tab to open up the printer and faxes explorer window.
Select the "Add a printer" link to open the "Add a printer wizard". (See next image)
Click the "Next" button to continue the setup.
In the "Add Printer Wizard", make sure the "Local printer attached to this computer" item is selected. Uncheck the "Automatically detect and install my Plug and Play printer" before you continue as shown in the image below.
In the "Select a Printer Port" window of the "Add a printer Wizard", select the "Create a new port" option from the lower portion of the window as shown in the images that follow.
After selecting "Create a new port", change the type of port to "Standard TCP/IP Port". Click the "Next" button to open the "Add Standard TCP/IP Port Wizard".
This is where you will need to provide the printer IP address in the "Printer Name or IP address" field. The "Port Name" field will be updated automatically as you type in the IP address of the printer. Click "Next" button to continue. (See images below)
You will then be prompted to verify the information that you have provided. Please make sure that you have entered in the appropriate IP address for the printer you wish to use. Click "Finish" and this will open the "Install Printer Software" window.
In the "Install Printer Software" window, you will need to select the printer manufacturer in the left pane marked "Manufacturer". Since all of the printers listed at the beginning of this document were Hewlett Packard printers, choose HP from the list provided. (See image below) In the right hand pane marked "Printers", find the printer model that was listed earlier in this document. You may not be able to find the exact printer model name but we have found that any of the printer models that correspond to the "LaserJet 4000/4100 or LaserJet 4550" series will work. After you make the selections, click "Next" to continue with the setup.
After completing the above information and clicking "Next" the "Name Your Printer" window will open. This allows you to give the computer a name that you can more easily remember when selecting where you want to send your documents. We would recommend using the printer's location as the printer name so that it would be easier to track documents. (See images below)
Once you have setup the printer and given it an easier name to remember, select to print a test page so that you can validate that the printer is working and that it is the location that you are expecting. Make sure to check the "Yes" in the "Print Test Page" wizard window.
Click "Finish" to complete the "Add Printer Wizard".
This will bring up a dialog box asking to validate that the "Test Page" printed as expected. Click "OK" if you were able to retrieve the "Test Page". If there were problems with the "Test Page", the "Troubleshooting" guide will be able to help you solve the problem. You may simply need to try one of the other HP LaserJet 4000/4100/4550 series selections in the "Manufactures" widow as seen above.
If everything was successful, you should then see the printer listed in the "Printers and Faxes" explorer window. You will then be able to select this printer from within your Windows applications.

Joe Slayman would tell the story of visiting for the first time what is now James R. France Stadium, the home of the Manchester High School football team for the last 56 years.
Joe Slayman would tell the story of visiting for the first time what is now James R. France Stadium, the home of the Manchester High School football team for the last 56 years.
It came in 1954, three years before it existed.
"I heard that they were going to build a new stadium, so I tromped up through the tall grass from the high school to see the spot where it would be," said Slayman, who graduated from Manchester that year.
The high school then was located in the building that currently houses the Manchester Local Schools Administration offices on Manchester Road. The present high school, now 54-years-old, wouldn't be built for another five years.
That was Joe Slayman, who knew everybody and everything about the Manchester school system and the Manchester community, sports and otherwise. He was a walking, talking history book. It was almost as if he were a mannequin in a Manchester museum who suddenly came to life, stepped down off his stand and began telling you, in detail, what it was like back in the day – many times way back in the day.
That's because he had lived it, having been a community member all his life, dating back to the 1930s when Manchester was nothing more than a crossroads of dusty dirt horse paths.
Joe passed away June 8, after a long and courageous battle with cancer. He was 80.
"When you come out to Manchester, you quickly learn about all the great athletes and coaches who have been here through the years. And in terms of what he meant to Panthers sports, Joe was as big as any of them," said Manchester High Assistant Principal A.J. Hite, a Barberton native who is a longtime assistant boys basketball coach at the school. "When we were putting together a history of the basketball program, Joe was instrumental with all the information he provided us."
Again, Joe gained the information the old-fashioned way in that he had lived it and been a part of it. For 25 years, Joe operated the scoreboard at Manchester home boys basketball games and his late wife, Ruby, also a Manchester graduate, served as official scorer.
Both are enshrined in the school's Swede Olson Athletic Hall of Fame, Joe for having starred in football, basketball and baseball and Ruby as an honorary member. Joe had played for Olson, the iconic Panthers football coach from 1946-50.
Joe also coached a variety of Manchester youth sports, including girls softball, and was a key figure in developing players who would allow the Panthers to become an immediate power when high school girls sports began in the mid-1970s. With Joe as an assistant coach, Manchester won the 1979 Class AA state championship. He later served as the team's head coach.
Page 2 of 2 - Following his retirement from Goodyear Tire and Rubber Co. after 38 years, the ex-Marine involved himself in a variety of endeavors.
"I had the pleasure of sitting in my office and watching him work at Sisler Field. He was always there," said Manchester Middle School Principal Jim Miller of the youth baseball and softball fields next to the school.
For Joe Slayman – a Manchester guy through and through who coined the phrase "pay it forward" in the community – it was a labor of love.

Christian Aguilar Disappearance Fueled by Jealousy
Missing 18-year-old Christian Aguilar still hasn't been found and the outlook is quite grim. Now investigators are sharing images of the SUV used by the suspect in hopes of finding potential witnesses. They are trying to narrow down where to search to locate the missing college student.
It's unlikely that the missing Florida college student will be found alive, as the suspect in this case has proven to be quite sinister. The father of Christian Aguilar says the suspect was jealous that his son made it into the college he wanted to attend. The man in custody also admitted to fighting Aguilar over a girl—and leaving him beaten in a wooded area.
Police have not been able to locate Aguilar or his remains, but the search continues as hope is worn thin. It seems that the disappearance of the young man was fueled by jealousy and rage, and the comments made by the suspect to detectives aren't proving helpful in the search.

Best House Tour St. Louis 2007 - Lafayette Square Spring House & Garden Tour
House-touring provides the ultimate in snooping. But taking part in the annual Lafayette Square Spring House & Garden Tour is far more satisfying than merely peering into strangers' medicine cabinets. In addition to the main tour attraction, this two-day event offers a variety of activities (which this year included a concert, vintage "base ball" and an antiques fair). More important, the weekend provides a glimpse into the city's revival. The late-nineteenth-century homes on display have been beautifully restored and maintained, showcasing St. Louis' former grandeur and the hope and splendor of today.

Your Turn —School shootings
: December 28, 2012 : Updated: December 28, 2012 4:15pm
Photo By BRENDAN HOFFMAN/New York Times
An activist with Code Pink interrupts Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, during a news conference held to address the Newtown, Conn., mass shooting, in Washington, Dec. 21, 2012. During the news conference Friday, the NRA called for armed protection for each school in the country as the best way to protect children from gun violence.
Not the answer
With regard to the school shootings in Newtown, what happened to the 10 laws that we are supposed abide by, including, Thou Shalt Not Kill? That includes children of all ages. Arming teachers with guns is not the answer. Your chances are great that you will unknowingly kill an innocent person, making yourself a murderer.
We have become one nation under guns, not one nation under God.
As the Peter, Paul and Mary song went, when will they ever learn, when will they ever learn?
Dorothy Mire
Full circle
I see where the products endorsed by the NRA are so dangerous that they are now asking people to buy more of that product to protect themselves from the products they originally endorsed.
Give up
This slugfest is tiresome.
Give up.
Gov. Perry and the NRA are right.
If each of those Newtown tots had carried a pistol and the adults had assault rifles at hand, that massacre would never have happened.
Mental health
I am disappointed.
Wayne LaPierre, the head of the National Rifle Associations, has expressed his viewpoint on the school shootings in Newtown. The NRA does not think guns are the problem, But, yes, Mr. LaPierre, guns are still in the picture.
He did mention the mental health factor. I suggest the NRA come up with the money to restore funds lost in the budget cuts.
Perhaps it could help the mental health of many who need help.
The truth
The media have responded with the predictable knee-jerk reaction to the school shooting in Connecticut. This was a tragic and unacceptable situation, but it is equally tragic to dodge the real problem in favor of feel-good solutions. Now, it is the time for the truth.
I agree with President Obama that something must be done to prevent this sort of thing in the future. The problem is that what he wants to do is continue to attack guns and gun owners. What we must do is get over the "political correctness" that has been killing the country for the past 30-40 years and address the real problems without worrying about offending someone. State mental hospitals need to be reopened or expanded and used to house and treat recognizably troubled people.
We also need to recognize that not all evil or craziness can be prevented or even identified before something tragic happens. We must stop blaming inanimate objects for the acts of individuals, recognizing that although guns are very efficient weapons, you can kill with anything.
Furthermore, those that keep going on about hunters not needing high capacity weapons to hunt are right, but the Second Amendment is not about hunting; it is about protection from enemies, both foreign and domestic, and has generally served us well over that past 200-plus years.

Luxurious body care infused with award-winning, artisanal olive oil
Certified organic olive oil is the superstar ingredient in this luxurious body care collection by 80 Acres of McEvoy Ranch. Olive oil has long been praised as a potent natural moisturizer, so it's no surprise that McEnvoy Ranch, a top producer of artisanal olive oil, launched an organic line of beauty products. Their body care collection is infused with McEnvoy estate-produced organic extra virgin olive oil rich with antioxidants and vitamins.
Along with their signature oil grown from 20 year old Tuscan olive trees, 80 Acres blends sunflower, jojoba and grapeseed oils with organic herbs to create their signature body care collection, green in fragrance and concept. 80 Acres offers body lotion, body balm, olive oil soap and body wash in gorgeous scents, from Lavender and Blood Orange to their signature scent, Verde, a green and herbal fragrance made to resemble the taste of the ranch's early-harvested oil.
80 Acres of McEvoy Ranch Philosophy
80 Acres uses McEnvoy's high quality organic olive oil as the foundation for their rich and moisturizing body care products. McEnvoy Ranch is certified organic by the rigorous standards of the California Olive Oil Council, ensuring that no chemicals are used during production and the acidity of the oil is less than half of one percent. Less acidity means more antioxidants and ensures that nutrients stay in the oil, making it highly prized and vitamin rich.
McEvoy's commitment to green doesn't end there. The company aims to minimize excess waste in the production process, and composts any waste that is produced. The ranch maintains a self-sufficient and balanced ecosystem nurtured by diverse plant and animal populations. The orchards and gardens are maintained in accordance with organic regulations.
In June of 2009, McEnvoy Ranch welcomed the installation of a 225 kW Norwin windmill, the first privately-owned turbine of its size in Marin County. The windmill tower is 97 feet tall, with 50-foot long blades. Its hilltop location was chosen after careful consideration to harness adequate wind and limit impact on wildlife. The windmill reduces their greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 110 tons each year and is designed to meet 100% of their electrical energy needs.
80 Acres of McEvoy Ranch History
Founder Nan McEnvoy started 80 Acres with a dream in mind. On a quest to find "a wonderful place in the country" to share with her family, she fell in love with a sprawling 550 acre farm in Petaluma, California. The farm was strictly zoned for agriculture, so she transformed the former dairy farm into an olive grove. Armed with her love of Tuscan olive oil, she consulted with one of Italy's foremost experts on the subject, Maurizio Castelli, and imported 1000 seedlings from Tuscany to plant on the ranch.
Despite the challenges of producing olive oil in Marin County and defiant against the advice of many, Nan McEnvoy forged ahead with her dream. Nan was named Food Artisan of the Year by Bon Appetit magazine in 2003 and continues to be regarded as a top producer of artisanal, domestic olive oil.

What I have seen on this forum is far from constructive feedback. Its been on the level of hate that is down right sad. They have made a concession but to please the mob mentality of this forum it would be no small task. You can label it as giving just your opinion and that is what some do but there is a vast number of people here who attack anyone that has anything opsitive to say about the game thats not in line with the small mob thats grown here.
I hope the devs dont cave in at this point thinking this is the general status quo on ESO fans. Its mostly a MMOrpg.com theme thats is in almost every forum now. Hate is in, and we call it feedback. We hate before even get gameplay footage. We hate and tell devs how to make the game and whats wrong with it before we even play it. No wonder new games dont tell us they are even making a game till they are 3-4 years into development.
We kick and bite at every design choice the devs make and as always, most people who like it dont post much past awesome I cant wait to play. So the devs mostly see the angery mob and start questioning if they should change their development path. Often games over the years has done just this and we gamers play a large part in why we are getting more and more crappy games. Developers no long just have fans, they have mobs that think they know better about game development then they and we create negitive feedback till they see it our way. Or else we will post something negitive in every thread and news outlet about the game. We drive away people thinking maybe our negitive thinking maybe true and often drive off new fans before any real reason is valid to do so. We dont have a product in had to be upset about.
Like all the flipping out about the DAoC PvP model. Its just 1 part of the game. The PvE thats been talked about is rich and full of life much like TES. Sure its done in a MMO way but thats what needs to be done as TES with group play a MMO does not make. You have open world dungeons 2 and 5 man. Instance dungeons as well. Solo caves and ruins to explore. Join the mage guild and get rewarded for exploring. There is open world quests and free roaming quests. You also have the new phased events for orgnized guilds and groups to take on and on top of that you get level 50 you get 2 whole maps as elder game to explore to your hearts content. What game has to much elder game?
But thats not what we talk about. We pick and pick at one point and make a storm on why its so bad till its changed. Then we pick a different point and do the same thing till all thats left is a shell of a game that was its original design. It becomes so messed up that when its finaly released we all say... see this game does suck but we are in a large part to blame. I hope the ESO devs keep the corse and not even bother coming to look at what the so called fans have to say here.

When developers or publishers choose a target audience they have to appeal to that target audience or they will fail to achieve the level of success they both predict and have based spending on.
Age of Conan, TERA, and SWTOR just to name a few picked an audience, failed to listen to and appeal to said audience and didn't meet their goals. This hurts both players and the developer. Players end up feeling ripped off because a game touted as a game made for them turned out not to be and yet another $60+ goes down the drain, it hurts developers because then they are scrambling to fix things when its already to late. Content has to be pounded out in a short amount of time, the business model needs to be reworked, mechanics and systems need to be changed and tweaked, then they have to deal with all of this and much more while being forced to lay off the bulk of their staff.
TESO has chosen TES fans as their target audience and this was done so the moment they decided to go with the name and the lore. If they fail to appeal and listen to their target audience it will end up causing everyone a lot of headaches and dissapointment down the road which has been proven time and time again. Look at FFXIV and what it had to go through after failing to appeal to its target audience and listen to them. They ended up having to spend twice as much as planned to develop the game in the end and their earning potential has been severely reduced after the failed first launch.
Though that isn't the point of your post. You wanted to say that even though it may seem like the majority doesn't agree with the direction they are taking TESO you want Zenimax to know that its just a vocal minority and that far more people like it and just don't post on this forum. The games I listed had people saying the same thing you are saying now about them, the silent majority never materialized though and the games struggled. Would you like me to post similar posts from the FFXIV forums saying pretty much the same thing about it that you are saying now?

I will admit my fav PvP I have ever played was DAoC but this game has more then enough TES in it to make any fan happy if they would take time to look past the mob.

People are rightly pissed because the TESO devs basically said, we're gonna make TES a MMO, and everyone was happy, but then people see the actual gameplay and think, "Wtf? this is tab, target, WoW clone bullshit, again. This is NOTHING like TES.
I'm pissed. Why aren't you? Are you happy with mediocrity and green text?

I think the first post mentioned the unreasonable hate that forums users seem to show. It's a game, a game trying to suit many peoples play styles. I'm not one for flaming, any negative comment I've left has been on games I've played and left and I generally say what I like/disliked. I've actually gone back to my first love SWG (emu). Nothing been as good since and I've played a fair bit.
Originally posted by Nanfoodle
Obviously not, you are trying to say anyone that doesn't like the direction is simply following the hate mob. I however formed my opinion by watching the videos, reading the information, and getting some actual play time with the game. I've been a TES fan since daggerfall and no, TESO doesn't have enough TES in it to make me happy so your statement as much as you wish it were true is not. You will have to simply accept that.

IMO they are giving the best of both worlds. Open world PvP would step on the toes of the pure PvE fan thats at the core of most TES fans. Exploring being the hero and whats this... why am I being attacked by 3 players while I was trying to do a quest to save that town over there? The flag system many games uses is bad design as well as it so easy to force people becomes flagged when they dont want to. The DAoC model of 3 factions maps gives the PvEer their space to play and brings all PvPers to one map. That keeps the war in one place and because of this you have more large scale battles and thats alway fun. Once you hit 50, you can go anywhere and like I said above, you get 2 whole maps as elder game. Every game needs more elder game. Its far from a place of being rightly pissed.

Mr Flibble is VERY cross
The biggest problem is tab targetting. TESO games have always been first/third person action combat style (cant think of the right word here) and thats what everyone was excited to see in an MMO. Then they said "yeah, we're not doing that"

well the game has 2 daoc features
1 equality of pve/pvp and crafted gear - GOOD
2 some sort of 3 sided pvp at endgame, i have very serious doubts this will be anything like as good as DAOC
the game has a few TES features
the combat is TES like
they have books and lore in the world like tes.
then the game has these features
1 instancing all over the place
2 phased up the kazoo
3 you are the hero style personal story line with voice over and what have you
4 mega server thing
5 quests that lead you through the story, can't just wander off and find stuff to do.
so to me the game sounds more like a fantasy TSW than anything else.

It has DAoC RvR PvP. It has open world public quests and dungeons. It has so much thats not a copy of WoW I am not even sure how the label fits.

ELIZABETHTON — Two of the five members of the Elizabethton City School Board may not be able to make next week's meeting because of medical problems.
Susan Peters, a volunteer and activist with the school system, said board member Catherine Armstrong fell at her home Tuesday and broke her hip. Peters said Armstrong underwent surgery and is convalescing at Sycamore Shoals Hospital. Peters said Armstrong will be in physical therapy after she is released from the hospital.
Peters said an ally of Armstrong's on the school board, Connie Baker, is also experiencing health problems. Peters said Baker's daughter has taken her to the Mayo Clinic in an effort to diagnose her problems.
Armstrong and Baker have frequently criticized actions of Superintendent Ed Alexander and the majority of the board. Many of the votes taken by the board result in 3-2 decisions, with Armstrong and Baker as the minority votes.
While it is not known when Armstrong and Baker will be able to physically return to the board, they may continue to participate in the meetings, thanks to a recent change in state law allowing members to use Skype electronic videoconferencing.
The law still requires a board to have a quorum of members physically present and that could also be a problem with Baker and Armstrong suffering health problems.
A third member, Dr. Grover May, is an obstetrician and is subject to being called to the hospital at any time. If he had an emergency next Thursday, the board might have to postpone its April meeting. That meeting is expected to have a high level of public interest because Alexander is considering not rehiring popular West Side Elementary Principal Doug Mitchell.
