Maintain quality tees
Nearly all superintendents have to deal with problem tees at some point during their career. Tees receive as much wear as any area of the golf course, and the superintendent is responsible for growing grass there faster than golfers wear it out. The success with which he or she can do this depends on several factors. These include tee size, growing environment, construction methods, maintenance practices (including tee-marker rotation) and turfgrass species. A deficiency in one of these areas usually leads to the maintenance problems superintendents commonly experience on tees. Evaluating each of these factors on an individual basis and taking action to correct deficiencies can lead to better tees and fewer headaches for the superintendent.
Tee size Arguably, the most important factor for the successful maintenance of tees is size. Given a large enough area over which to spread wear, superintendents usually can overcome deficiencies in other areas. Unfortunately, tees on most older golf courses (and many new ones) were designed to handle 10,000 to 12,000 rounds per year rather than the 35,000 to 45,000 or more many now endure annually. Designers need to accurately estimate future traffic prior to tee construction, and developers should then build the tees to handle at least that amount of play.
A good rule of thumb exists to determine the amount of teeing area that should be available on any given hole. It states that a tee should have at least 100 square feet of usable teeing space per 1,000 rounds of golf played annually, with 200 square feet of teeing space per 1,000 rounds where irons are the club of choice on the tee. If a design follows these guidelines, other potential problems usually are less serious. Unfortunately, designers often ignore these guidelines, and the superintendent must try to make up for the shortfall in tee size with more intensive maintenance.
Obstacles interfering with the line of play between the tee and the landing area greatly influence usable teeing area. An overhanging tree on the right side of the hole, for example, will cause players to favor the left side of the tee to avoid interference from the tree. Even if a tree is not actually in the line of play, golfers may perceive it as a possible interference. Potentially, a 5,000-square-foot tee may only have 3,000 to 3,500 square feet of usable area if obstacles exist-or appear to exist-in the line of play. You should consider this fact when you place trees or other obstructions close to the line of play.
Growing environment Growing environment is another limiting factor for many tees. Shade and poor air circulation due to surrounding trees and underbrush are the biggest culprits. Trees provide a nice backdrop while also creating safety barriers between holes. However, too many or poorly placed trees can make good-quality turf difficult or impossible to grow.
Before construction begins, analyze sunlight patterns to determine where shade problems exist. You then can selectively remove trees to improve sunlight penetration. Also, clear out underbrush to allow for better air circulation. This is especially important in low-lying areas where air circulation already is poor due to the topography. With careful attention, removing only a small number of trees could mean the difference between a good tee and a problem tee with respect to growing conditions. Remove only those trees actually causing shade problems and carefully prune the remaining trees. In this manner, you can achieve a good growing environment and still maintain an aesthetically appealing background.
Tree-root encroachment also affects the growing environment. It is easy to forget because it occurs below the surface. However, trees compete with turf for water and nutrients and can greatly increase the need for these inputs. Too often, superintendents ignore tree-root problems and the tee suffers. Tree roots also present a safety concern when they grow just below the surface of a tee: They create the potential for injury if an unsuspecting player strikes a root with the club head.
Root pruning helps eliminate this problem. Cut a 3- to 4-inch-wide trench 2 to 3 feet deep between the trees and the affected tee, and line the tree-side face of the trench with tarpaper or a similar barrier material. This technique should impede tree-root encroachment. You'll have to repeat this process every 3 to 5 years but turf quality will be better as a result.
Tee construction Some tees, even in good growing environments, have problems built in from the start. To keep costs down, developers often construct tees from soil collected on site or from pond-dredge spoils. These materials often have poor properties for turf growth, especially in conditions of heavy play. Also, in the haste of construction, these soils often don't receive proper compaction and settling results in an uneven surface. This situation further reduces usable teeing area. You should take measures as soon as possible to eliminate surface irregularities and maximize usable teeing space. Topdressing applications will correct minor problems, but you should strip the sod and re-grade the tee where severe irregularities occur.
Properly aligning tees to fit the play of the hole is another construction issue that is sometimes overlooked. It is not as crucial from a maintenance standpoint, but a poorly aligned tee can compromise playability.
Use soils that are well-suited for turfgrass growth and construct tees using proper techniques (including attention to aligning the tee in a way that doesn't force golfers to take tee shots from one side). It may cost more initially, but in the long run it will be well worth the added cost from both a maintenance and playability standpoint.
Maintenance Intensifying maintenance practices on tees can help overcome some of the problems of small size, poor growing environment and poor construction.
Insufficient core aeration is a major problem on tees. On forward and middle tees, where play is heaviest, compaction often is a limiting factor for turf growth. Aerate these tees as often as possible so the existing turf has the best chance to recover and you can better incorporate seed. If the soil structure is poor, remove the cores and incorporate topdressing to help improve soil conditions. Conversely, on tees that receive little play, a thatch problem can develop that reduces the effectiveness of agronomic inputs. Physically removing thatch through core aeration and incorporating topdressing to break down thatch also is necessary to prevent a puffy surface from developing. The reasons for aeration in these instances are different, but both are equally important for maintaining high-quality surfaces.
Consider using walk-behind mowers on problem tees during times of high stress. Triplex mowers are fine when turf is growing vigorously but cause increased wear during times of high stress. Changing to these small mowers when practical can drastically improve the quality of tees.
Fertility is a simple factor that superintendents commonly overlook. Tees may need twice the amount of nitrogen as greens to aid in recovery, but superintendents often fertilize them less than greens, leading to slow turf recovery. Maintain fertility with about 0.75 to 1 pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet per growing month: the turf will recover more rapidly.
Divots also are a problem, of course. Topdress and seed divots on a regular basis (daily if possible), especially where golfers use irons. A topdressing material containing soil may be better than a straight sand material because the soil in the mix will retain moisture, which aids in seed germination. Divots will fill in more quickly, and the tees will be smoothed in the process. Placing containers filled with a topdressing/seed mixture on tees where golfers use irons also helps. This way, golfers can aid in the maintenance process.
Tee-marker rotation also is a big part of the maintenance process. A properly designed daily rotation schedule spreads wear evenly over the entire teeing surface during the golfing season. Where possible, use only one-half or even one-third of the tee width at any one time to increase the number of areas available for marker placement. Regular rotation maximizes usable teeing area as well as the interval before the same areas are used again.
During the off season, you won't need to rotate markers as often. Some superintendents don't move markers at all when the turf is not actively growing. In this way, you sacrifice a small area of the tee, allowing the rest of the tee to fully recover prior to the new growing season. Off-season tee rotation varies greatly. Find what works best for you and stick with it.
Grassing scheme Proper turfgrass selection can reduce some of the headaches associated with maintaining quality tees. For example, perennial ryegrass often is the grass of choice in Northern areas for undersized, heavily played tees. Perennial ryegrass is tolerant of traffic and also germinates rapidly. Thus, it is a good choice when rapid recovery is a priority.
Don't limit yourself to one turfgrass species for all tees on your golf course. In Southern areas of the transition zone, for example, bermudagrass golf courses are common. Bermudagrass is an excellent performer on tees in sunny, open areas. However, even in slightly shaded areas it can perform poorly. The use of a cool-season grass (such as ryegrass or bentgrass) may be a better choice for these tees.
Avoiding problem tees involves many factors including tee size, maintenance practices, proper construction, growing environment and turfgrass choice. Determine which factors are causing your problems and take proper measures to correct them. Growing high-quality turf on your tees will be much easier as a result.

LONDON (Reuters) - European shares hit an 18-month high and the euro and euro zone periphery bonds climbed on Tuesday, buoyed by a pick-up in German confidence indicators and expectations the Federal Reserve will keep pumping money into the U.S. economy.
Following some disappointing euro zone data this month, the ZEW survey provided some relief for markets, showing confidence among German investors and economists increased sharply in November.
Markets had been rattled on Monday by Italian Prime Minister Mario Monti's announcement he would step down some weeks early. But the upbeat ZEW data helped lift shares and the euro from their gloom.
The pan-European FTSEurofirst 300 share index .FTEU3 was up 0.3 percent at 1137.90 points by 6 a.m. EDT, its highest since June 2011, though it later eased back a little. Italian bonds shrugged off their early morning weakness and the euro hit a session high $1.2974.
Many economists expect the German economy to contract in the fourth quarter under the weight of the euro zone's troubles, but leading indicators like the ZEW and a separate survey from the Ifo institute suggest it could bounce back in early 2013.
"The (ZEW) rise confirms earlier worldwide survey results signaling that the global industrial cycle has turned and that world trade is picking up," said Aline Schuiling a senior economist at ABN Amro.
The other main focus for investors was a meeting of the Federal Reserve, and ongoing "fiscal cliff" talks in the U.S. to avoid $600 billion of previously drawn up spending cuts and tax hikes suddenly kicking in the new year.
When the Fed concludes its meeting on Wednesday, the central bank is expected to extend its asset purchase scheme and commit to buy $45 billion of U.S. debt each month.
Expectations of more easing put the dollar on the back foot .DXY and pushed the Canadian dollar to a two-month high of C$0.9862 per U.S. dollar, while the New Zealand dollar hit a nine-month high of $0.8367.
Bank of England Governor Mervin King warned on Monday that continued imbalance in the global economy may see more competitive depreciation of currencies as countries resort to "actively managed exchange rates", in place of domestic monetary policy priorities, as a way to encourage growth.
In the oil market, Brent crude rose back above $108 a barrel as continued unrest in Egypt and Syria underscored the continuing tensions blighting the Middle East, the world's major oil exporting region.
Gold was steady at $1,709.75 an ounce, with more U.S. stimulus expected to support gold's appeal as a hedge against inflation.
Asian equities had earlier hit a 16-month high and the combined rises in Europe left the MSCI index of world stocks .MIWD00000PUS up 0.2 percent at 335.51, its highest level in almost two months.
"The ZEW index is the first survey pointing to an actual turnaround," said Christian Schulz at Berenberg bank, adding that the signs of a pick-up could reduce the chance of the European Central Bank cutting interest rates again.

give (one's) two cents
To share one's opinion or point of view for whatever it may be worth, generally when it is unasked for. I find Jeff's husband a bit trying at times. He always insists on giving his two cents whether we want his opinion or not! If I can just give my two cents, I think the staff would really appreciate a bump in their pay.

CHAPEL HILL � More effort. More spacing. More flow.
More natural. More potential. More hope.
More dangerous.
And more fun.
Really, from the baby-blue perspective of the North Carolina Tar Heels, what�s not to like about this new, downsized lineup that all of a sudden has generated this new, apparently enhanced reality?
�It�s putting a lot on the table, just allowing us to do a lot more things, allowing us to play our game, in our comfort zone,� guard Dexter Strickland said, after North Carolina had breathed life into those words with a comprehensive 93-81 beating of Virginia on Saturday at the Smith Center.
Game 2 since the Tar Heels pressed the reset button, scaled back the minutes for their role players in the post and opted for their smaller, attacking look saw P.J. Hairston, the sophomore guard turned stretch forward, pump in six 3-pointers to equal a career high and score 29 points to establish a career high.
Marcus Paige hit three 3s and finished with 17 points, Strickland added 12 points and Reggie Bullock chipped in three 3s and 11 points as North Carolina (17-8 overall, 7-5 Atlantic Coast Conference) gained a possible r�sum�-builder for NCAA Tournament consideration while essentially shredding the second-stingiest team in college basketball.
Virginia (18-7, 8-4) arrived here allowing just 52.3 points per game to its opponents.
North Carolina had surpassed that with nearly 15� minutes remaining, when Bullock buried a 3, one of 13 buckets from beyond the arc, the Tar Heels� best long-range total in the ACC this season.
Ultimately, North Carolina�s 93 points were 24 more than the previous most the Cavaliers had given up this season.
�Our overall effort level has jumped up another notch,� Paige said. �When you play harder, when you have better spacing and more scoring, when the offense flows better, it�s good. That combination usually means good things.�
So on an afternoon rich with the recent past � former stars Tyler Hansbrough, John Henson and Kendall Marshall were in attendance, and a ceremony honored the placement of Tyler Zeller�s No. 44 jersey in the rafters � North Carolina delivered the case for perhaps a promising immediate future.
�We realize what it�s doing,� Hairston said of the Tar Heels� shifted emphasis to guards and swingmen paired with the 6-foot-9 James Michael McAdoo, combinations unveiled three nights prior at Duke. �If we play hard, defenses will get confused and basically back down.�
Paige said the smaller lineup, keyed by Hairston�s inspired play, �might just suit our personnel better.� Paige pointed out the opening of lanes now more available for drivers such as Strickland and McAdoo, and the extra space that has been freed up on the wings for Hairston and Bullock.
Call Virginia coach Tony Bennett, whose team fell behind by 18 points in the second half, a believer, too.
�It�s a bad feeling when you�re sitting on the bench saying, �we can�t get a stop,� � Bennett said. �We weren�t taking away anything. I thought they got to the lane. I thought they got to the glass. I thought they got rhythm 3s. They had us pretty much guessing and a step behind.�
Virginia�s Joe Harris, the junior guard in full All-ACC-caliber form, supplied a career-high 29 points on 10-for-13 shooting from the field. He nailed four 3s, raining in three during a sublime stretch of 2� minutes in the second half, when he single-handedly had the Cavaliers within a five- to eight-point deficit.
There would be keeping up with the Tar Heels, though.
Hairston, who connected on four 3s while scoring 14 points in the first half, drained his sixth and final 3 with 5:36 remaining, bringing North Carolina�s largest lead at 83-65.
Later, Hairston caught a pass from Strickland and found himself open in the corner with about 80 seconds left. Hairston, the Greensboro Dudley product, started to load up an attempt that could propel him past the 30-point plateau.
But he decided against it and pump-faked � with nearly everybody in the building wanting him to pull the trigger � and glanced over his left shoulder at coach Roy Williams on the North Carolina bench.
�I kind of looked at him and laughed it off,� Hairston said, �because he knew I wanted to shoot it bad.�
Early on, it felt as if what would be the Tar Heels� third straight loss might be brewing.
The Cavaliers built leads of 13-4 and 29-19, their length on the wings with the 6-foot-6 Harris, the 6-6 Paul Jesperson and the 6-8 Evan Nolte seemingly poised to cause the Tar Heels problems.
�Started the game well, but got away from how we needed to play in this environment to have a chance,� Bennett said.
TIP-INS �: Virginia�s Jontel Evans tossed in a running 35-footer as the first half expired, providing the Cavaliers with a 62.5-percent shooting clip for the half and tying the score at 40-40. That marked the most points Virginia has allowed in a half this season. � It also made for an interesting dynamic, with Williams standing nearby, watching that 3 drop and then picking up a microphone moments later to start the halftime recognition for Zeller. � The teams hit a combined eight 3s during a sizzling six-minute span during the second half. North Carolina canned five of those. Virginia�s Harris was responsible for the other 3. � McAdoo needed one stitch in his lower lip after a collision in the final 45 seconds left his mouth bloody. He was defending a drive on the play. � North Carolina�s Joel James didn�t suit up for the second game in a row due to a concussion.

I recently was asked some questions about
Manual blocks
(and this post got long… you might want to go make a nice sandwich or something for yourself before settling in to this one)
When train movement on one track is not available, a manual block is used to move trains on the adjacent track. This could happen because of planned maintenance, or it could be done in the event of an accident/emergency situation. In a manual block, Control directs train movement in both directions on the track that is in service. Manual blocks will have associated train orders.
You've done the equivalent of a manual block in your car before if you've gone through road construction where only one lane is open. For cars in that setting, there's a flagger at each end of the construction area that lets a number of cars through and holds oncoming traffic from entering the single lane, and then they switch to let cars from the other direction go through. A manual block for trains is essentially the same idea – Controllers and supervisors coordinate to govern train movement into a manual block, alternating between trains running normal traffic (e.g. east in the eastbound) and others running reverse traffic (west in the eastbound).
Reverse traffic
Borrowed photo. This is not a manual block, but it shows a train running reverse (here east in the westbound at Willow Creek)
Running reverse traffic is not the same thing as backing a train up. An operator backing a train up (such as in the case of uncoupling a train car) can't see in the direction that the train is moving – this is why backing a train up is almost never done. When an operator is running reverse traffic, they face in the same direction as the train's movement, but that movement is in the opposite direction of what the track they're on is typically used for.
There are a number of rules that govern running reverse traffic. First, it's always done at restricted speed (the lesser of 20mph or the posted speed and always at a speed that the operator can stop in half their sight distance) whether or not it's part of a manual block, unless you're in the tunnel. Because the tunnel is signalized in both directions, trains running reverse can operate at the posted speed limits which are about the same as normal speed limits, though trains going west in the eastbound bore will exit the tunnel much slower than normal traffic because they will be diverging into the west portal pocket track. Other areas of the alignment that are signalized in both directions are already single track, e.g. the "fishhook" for the Red Line at Gateway, so travel in both directions is normal.
While running reverse, operators will also have to stop and observe every set of switch points to ensure they are properly aligned. In ABS territory, running reverse traffic is where dwarf signals come into play – they protect mainline power switches while running reverse traffic. In other words, the ATS magnets associated with the dwarf signals are active for trains going the "wrong way". Operators will have to key-by these signals (this is done from the operating console in the train cab) after calling Control. This gives the operator 23 seconds to move the train past the ATS magnet without tripping.
On Burnside, operators running reverse traffic will have to SOP the intersections since the mass detectors are only for normal traffic. If the reverse running on Burnside is part of a manual block, the train orders associated with the manual block will include instructions to SOP intersections within the block. So operators will not need to call Control for permission at those intersections, but otherwise the process to SOP them is the same – stop, wait for fresh parallel green and walk signal and red left turn signal, sound horn warning, and proceed when safe.
You may have seen these stop signs at gated intersections or in places where the view is obstructed by a substation building – these are for trains running reverse traffic since people are not likely to expect a train from that direction on that track.
Gated intersections are also handled differently when running reverse traffic. When running normal traffic, the gates are lowered either by a call loop if the platform is right near the intersection (such as the above picture of Elmonica/170th) or when the train enters the approach circuit as it approaches the crossing gate for gates that are not near a platform. There is another circuit that extends 10 feet on either side of and through a gated crossing called the island circuit. When the island circuit is shunted, it will lower the crossing gates if they weren't already lowered – you won't notice this running normal traffic since under normal operations the gates will be lowered by the time the train gets there, but when a train is running reverse traffic, it uses island circuits to lower the crossing gates. The operator will wait until the gates have been fully lowered for 10 seconds before proceeding through the intersection.
Manual Block
In a manual block, most of the rules that apply to trains running reverse traffic will also apply to those running normal traffic. For one thing, travel in both directions of a manual block will be done at restricted speed, unless otherwise instructed by Control.
Borrowed picture – Both of these trains are running normal traffic, but it shows switch points as the operator sees them. Here it is a trailing move since the points are facing away from our oncoming train
If there are switches in the manual block, operators in both directions will be required to stop and observe every set of switch points before proceeding, regardless of whether the switch points are facing toward the train or away from the train (as seen in the above picture).
A planned manual block will have a written train order, but operators about to enter a manual block, whether planned or unplanned, will still call Control before they enter to receive specific instructions. The instructions will have to be repeated back word for word, which ensures that there is no misunderstanding of the instructions, since manual blocks have the potential to be extremely dangerous. Even at 20mph, a train splitting a switch (making a trailing move over a power or t-rail switch that isn't set for you) or hitting another train can cause serious damage. The specific details of the instructions may vary depending on where the manual block is and why a manual block is in effect – for example, a planned manual block may have pullback operators to pull the train through crossover switches so that the operator of the train doesn't have to change cabs.
Previously, a "medallion" system had been used for manual blocks. A medallion was an object such as a stuffed animal (like the rabbit) that would be passed off to a train as it was about to enter the block. If you didn't have the medallion in your possession, you would not enter the block. Nowadays that system isn't used. Instead, a clearance sheet is used to record all train movement in manual blocks. This written record details the movement of all trains into, through, and out of the block, ensuring that only one train is in the block at a time.
Once an operator is clear of the block, he or she will call Control. Their train will be recorded on the clearance sheet, and the operator will then be able to resume normal operation. The next train will then be cleared to enter the manual block. This process continues for the duration that the block is needed. At that point, Controllers and supervisors will ensure that all trains are clear of the manual block and that all switches are aligned normal and locked. The first train through the track that had been out of service may be asked to sweep that section of the alignment, especially if the manual block was due to an emergency, and then following trains can operate as normal.

text: Kaymer is hoping to add more titles to his Ryder Cup triumph with Team Europe [Reuters]Despite experiencing his first barren year on the European Tour since 2007, Martin Kaymer and his manager Johan Elliot are certain a tournament victory is imminent for the former world number one. As the European Ryder Cup hero practised his chipping on a hot, sultry day in Dubai, Elliot said he was convinced the German would either win this week's DP World Tour Championship or next week's Sun City Challenge in South Africa. "I've been patient for a long time now and I think Johan's right," Kaymer said in an interview. "I'm playing very well and I'm getting closer and closer. "Without putting too much pressure on myself, I have a very good chance of winning this week or next. The way I play golf it shouldn't take too much longer." Kaymer has won at least twice in each of the last four seasons but this year was a struggle until a rush of confidence in the Ryder Cup at Medinah Country Club in Illinois at the end of September. The 27-year-old jumped up and down in wild celebration after his six-foot putt on the final green of his singles match against Steve Stricker ensured the European team retained the trophy. "I think just before the Ryder Cup a few things started to change for me," Kaymer explained. "I was playing some really nice golf but things weren't happening for me and I wasn't getting the right results. "What happened at the Ryder Cup was huge for me and then for two weeks in China I played really well but couldn't get the scores I wanted," he added referring to a tie for 11th at the BMW Masters and a ninth-place finish at the WGC-Champions Tournament. "Last week was also quite nice at the South African Open. I played good golf to finish tied for third but I also know I could have done better." Short 'n sharpWorld number 30 Kaymer, who was top of the rankings for an eight-week spell last year, said it was a failure to take advantage of the long holes that had cost him a win in recent weeks. "My short game is not quite sharp enough," he said. "My long game is very good and my putting is good - it's just I'm not really using the par-fives. "I'm not making a lot of birdies on those holes because my pitching isn't very good - that's why I need to spend a lot of time practising around the greens. "There is no goal in my life where there will be more pressure or more excitement than at Medinah where I had that little six-footer for the Ryder Cup" German golfer Martin Kaymer "I am playing exactly the same way I played two or three years ago. There is no difference, it's just that my short game has to get a little bit sharper." Whatever the 2010 U.S. PGA champion achieves in the future, he knows he will find it difficult to replicate the special sensation he experienced at the Ryder Cup. "To make something that big happen for yourself, your country and your continent is a huge achievement," said Kaymer. "If you know you can make those things happen, those important shots, those important putts - it doesn't get any bigger. "There is no goal in my life where there will be more pressure or more excitement than at Medinah where I had that little six- footer for the Ryder Cup." Kaymer, who has 10 European Tour victories to his credit, said he was grateful for the opportunity to put his name in the record books as the man who ensured his team retained the Ryder Cup. "The key was that I really focused on the simple things," he said. "It was an uphill, inside-right of the cup putt and if you break it down to the simplest task - it's the easiest putt you can have. "But obviously under those circumstances it was not that easy - it was all about the excitement of making it happen. It was a huge gift for me really, having the possibility to win the Ryder Cup."

Here's to the dreamers…
I've been looking forward to this film with a ridiculous amount of anticipation which as we know often goes badly wrong, but NOT this time!
Everything about this film is wonderful, except maybe for the cheesy first five minutes. Get through that, leave your cynicism at the door and prepare for some cinema joy. This is the musical made fresh with passion and delightful exuberance. Emma Stone is both feisty and vulnerable as Mia. Ryan Gosling plays Sebastian with just right amount of buttoned up-ness. The dancing is gorgeous, the colours are sunny and warm. I hate jazz (or maybe I don't now!) but the music was fabulous. Oh it even has a touch of 'It's A Wonderful Life'.
Seriously this is the best antidote to the gloomy January blues, and if you even have a tiny sliver of romance in your icy, cynical heart go and see it!

Autofill of forms is a feature familiar to most Microsoft Edge customers (or for that matter, users of most modern browsers). In the next version of Microsoft Edge too, you can expect the browser to remember your passwords for all your favorite websites and help you fill in your address and credit card details with one-click whenever you come across these forms online. In this post, we will cover some of these features that you've come to depend on and use in your everyday life.
View and Delete passwords within Microsoft Edge itself
Earlier, one needed to go to Windows Settings > Credentials Manager to view and delete saved passwords. Now this functionality is available within Microsoft Edge browser itself. You can View (after authenticating) and Delete your saved passwords in Settings > Profiles > Passwords.
Autofill suggestions made more usable
These changes have been made to improve the form suggestions experience.
Full preview of address data with field highlighting
Filling an address form can sometimes involve effort even with autofill, especially when you have multiple similar addresses saved. Microsoft Edge lets you preview your autofill data for all suggestions within the same dropdown itself, making it easier to choose the right address to fill.
To help you quickly select the autofill suggestion, the value corresponding to the field currently in focus is highlighted in the suggestions.
Ease of access for credentials
In login forms, Microsoft Edge now offers the ability to choose a credential pair both from the username field as well as the password field.
Browser data import for a seamless transition
A possible roadblock to try out a new browser is the unavailability of data that's important to you, such as your favorites, passwords and other autofill data. Microsoft Edge smoothly overcomes this hurdle by making your passwords, payment info and addresses available right from the first launch.
Upon browser setup, you may choose to keep your data from another browser. If so, you will find all your form data under Settings > Profile and you can manage your data as needed. If you have credit cards that are linked to your Microsoft account, you will not be able to view them yet in the autofill interface. This will be available soon.
There is also an option to import all your autofill data on-demand, again through Settings > Profile. Remember that your existing data set will be replaced by the new data you import.
Sync autofill data across your devices
Work on syncing data across different devices is currently underway – expect these changes to reflect in the upcoming builds.
Control over your autofill data
As a Microsoft Edge user, you have full control on the autofill feature as well as your autofill data. It is important to us that you can easily view, delete and manage your personal data at any point of time. You can also enable/disable the whole feature for passwords, payment info and addresses, respectively.
Looking ahead
This is just the beginning. We know that your time is super valuable. And every second that we spare you from typing out your details each time you shop online, or every bit of mind space we free up from remembering a complex password, counts. Which is why, in the new Microsoft Edge it is important that you get a reliable autofill experience that works intuitively whenever you come across a form on the web.
And to get there, we need your help. You can help us by sharing examples of areas where autofill in Microsoft Edge can do better.
We look forward to your inputs!
I'm not a fan of saving sensitive information automatically. But I understand that sometimes simplifies life.
With respect to the first section, it seems fundamental to me that you can not see the memorized passwords. It requires a minimum of security or at least put it a little difficult to see those keys. As long as you do not put a master key (like firefox does) I will never use this option. It always seemed like a big security hole on Google's part. Microsoft should not follow that line. Anyone can be absent from his post for a minute (no more) and someone can see all the keys in a very simple way.
Thank you.

Con respeto al primer apartado, me parece fundamental que NO se puedan ver las password memorizadas. Se pide un minimo de seguridad o al menos ponerselo un poco dificil al que quiera ver esas claves. Mientras no se ponga una clave maestra (como hace firefox) yo no utilzare nunca esta opcion. Siempre me parecio un gran agujero de seguridad por parte de google. Microsoft no deberia seguir esa linea. Cualquiera se puede ausentar de su puesto un minuto (no mas) y alguien poder ver todas las claves de forma muy sencilla.
Muchas gracias.

Good we don't have to worry about something that, yes, you're right, is considered the norm & standard equipment. Of course, this all should be in place.
As things/items are mentioned it likely is easy for Folks to appreciate why a project like this takes several months to complete. Not only time to put everything in we want & have come to like, but, then, more time to make sure it all works properly & well, testing time. Sure, cannot release something until after confirming it all works correctly. And while we talk about what can be seen, the mechanics & the cosmetics... there's heaps of work under the covers, as well, needing time to be done.
>> It cannot be done all at once or as fast as one might like or expect.
Thank you @ppnacho and Drew. You are both absolutely right on. We are human, and we will make mistakes, which is why we will always flight first to make sure that more people can check our work before it goes out to everyone. We thank you very much for the feedback you provide, it is critical to the success of this browser.

@Elliot Kirk you ought to mention a chromium flag
More info https://textslashplain.com/2017/12/28/taking-off-your-nametag/
@Elliot Kirk all the features are perfect and are absolutely required for a good experience.
I'd like to suggest if we can add an option to suggest us new passwords upon signing up for new websites, it'd be a handy experience...:)

Doesn't it ask for the Windows account password though @ppnacho ? For me it does - and it makes sense to me since the browser is only as protected as the account it's on. If you're "away from your post", then since they don't have your Windows password you're fine.
I'm chuckling, in a nice way, from your last paragraph... coincidentally, had just recently had an exchange with someone trying to say something about local account vs MS Account. And, here we go with, yet, another one of the plethora of reasons for using YOUR User Account (Email & P/W). The timing made me smile :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: Who says there is no such thing as coincidence ;)
Apologies for my English!
Leaving the security of the passwords of your favorite sites in the hands of your computer's windows account is an option ... but it does not seem the most appropriate, or at least it does not seem enough. I think that there where you keep passwords should have a layer of security and this is the suggestion I make in this section. Firefox and thunderbird do it with a master key. I do not think he's asking for anything absurd.
In any case, it is a suggestion that I make and that I think is positive for everyone. It is not my intention to create any discussion.
Thank you!

Disculpas por mi ingles!!
Dejar la seguridad de las contraseñas de tus sitios favoritos en manos de la cuenta de windows de tu equipo es una opcion ... pero no me parece la mas apropiada, o al menos no me parece suficiente. Creo que alli donde tu guardes contraseñas deberia tener una capa mas de seguridad y esto es la sugerencia que hago en este apartado. Firefox y thunderbird lo hacen con una clave maestra. No creo que este solicitando nada absurdo.
En cualquier caso, es una sugerencia que hago y que creo que es positiva para todo el mundo. No es mi intencion crear ninguna discusion.

Would love to see Windows Hello come to Edge(ium) like on Classic Edge.
I like to use Autofill for address information but I use LastPass for my sensitive data.
If possible, @Elliot Kirk, could you or someone on the team compose a post explaining the security measures that protect the password data? I did considerable research into LastPass before storing my data there, and I'm loathe to change unless I have similar information. How is the sensitive data stored? Is it encrypted at rest? What sort of salting info or other details can be shared about that encryption? Is it only available after a clean authentication to Windows? Is it available for use after Windows login, or only after secondary authentication in Edge? Is it available for viewing/editing after Windows login, or only after secondary authentication in Edge? What does the Microsoft Cyber Security Team think about the capability?
@Elliot Kirk Worked fine most places but could not get it to work at walgreens.com on the photos page. I would select my ID and password but nothing would get filled in. And, I couldn't type in what I wanted - autofill kept essentially gettting in the way. I had to go back to the regular Microsoft Edge to get logged int.
@ppnacho the Windows account is protected by multiple layers of security, including biometrics if they're on your device; so when I go to view a credential, it uses Windows Hello facial recognition because that's how I sign in. If you use a PIN, it's encrypted and stored in the TPM. no need to make security inconvenient because if it is, users will turn it off.
I was going to make the same suggestion. Thanks. I love be able to use Windows Hello on certain websites. I know the feature isn't on all PC's but it should be an option (not the default) for Surface and other compatible devices.
I feel again that my English is not good!
I fully understand the security offered by the windows login account. I have no doubt about it.
But in my work, I initiate session when I arrive and block the session when it is coffee time. After the coffee I return to start session and at the end of my day, I turn off. I usually get up frequently and I'm not always in front of my pc. The option to block my session every time I get up and unlock it when I feel it is not very practical in my work. So, if I get up from my position to go talk to my boss, I'm leaving my session open and anyone with bad intentions has a free way to see all the passwords of my favorite sites. Honestly, I do not like it.
You know, for tastes there are colors.
I return to comment that it is only a suggestion and that it is not my intention to create any debate about it.
There are tools like lastpast that perform the function perfectly. I believe that the new edge should bring it integrated. But it's just my personal opinion.
And thanks to Microsoft for allowing me to participate in this forum and be able to give my point of view. I know that Edge Chromium is very young and you have to give it time to grow older.
Thank you to all for reading me.

Siento de nuevo que mi ingles no sea bueno!!
Entiendo perfectamente la seguridad que ofrece la cuenta de inicio de sesion de windows. No tengo ninguna duda sobre ello.
Pero en mi trabajo, inicio sesion cuando llego y bloqueo la sesion cuando es la hora del cafe. Despues del cafe vuelvo a iniciar sesion y al finalizar mi jornada, apago. Me suelo levantar con frecuencia y no siempre estoy delante de mi pc. La opcion de bloquear mi sesion cada vez que me levanto y desbloquearla cuando me siento es poco practico en mi trabajo. Por eso, si me levanto de mi puesto para ir a hablar con mi jefe, estoy dejando mi sesion abierta y cualquier persona con malas intenciones tiene via libre para ver todas las contraseñas de mis sitios favoritos. Sinceramente, no me gusta.
Ya se sabe, para gustos hay colores.
Vuelvo a comentar que solo es una sugerencia y que no es mi intencion crear ningun debate sobre ello.
Existen herramientas como lastpast que realizan la funcion perfectamente. Considero que el nuevo edge deberia traerla integrada. Pero solo es mi opinion personal.
Y gracias a Microsoft por permitirme participar en este foro y poder dar mi punto de vista. Se que Edge Chromium es muy joven y hay que ir dandole tiempo para que se haga mayor.
Gracias a todos por leerme.

@Elliot Kirk For the password management feature, it's good to see this more integrated into the browser. However, one of the biggest usability issues with Credential Manager today is the lack of any kind of search / sort / filter, coupled with the lack of friendly display names for sites. When you accumulate a significant number of credentials it can be very difficult to find passwords for specific sites.
In Edge, please consider adding a simple search or filter function to the user interface to address this issue.
Edit: well, color me silly. This functionality already exists in Edge Insider (not a Chrome user here, so I have no background familiarity to draw on). I haven't imported any passwords into Edge Insider as I am a LastPass user, but I just installed the browser on my wife's PC and discovered that what I describe above basically already exists.
So yeah, carry on!
Thanks for listening.
Is not the same ... (No es lo mismo)

@ppnacho As @Mary Branscombe has said, you must enter your credentials a second time in order to see the password. Even if you forget to lock your computer when you walk away from it and a malicious user arrives before the computer locks automatically, they still have to know your credentials to see these passwords. Just having access to your user session is not enough.
In effect, your Microsoft account, domain account, or Windows user account credential plays the same role as a master password does for LastPass.
What he says is exactly the opposite. In chrome you do not need to enter any credentials to see the passwords of your favorite sites. In firefox you need the master key to be able to see them. Simply, what I ask is that the keys of your favorite sites are not visible. So hard to understand?
I will not continue with the discussion ...
It's just a suggestion. And I'm sure there are many people interested in something like what I request. If you do not like the suggestion, end ...
Thank you!

Lo que dice es exactemente lo contrario. En chrome no hace falta ingresar ninguna credencial para ver las password de tus sitios favoritos. EN firefox se necesita la clave maestra para poder verlas. Simplemente, lo que pido es que las claves de tus sitios favoritos no se vean. Tan dificil es de comprender?
No voy a continuar con la discusion ...
Solo es una sugerencia. Y estoy seguro que hay mucha gente interesada en algo como lo que solicito. Si no les gusta la sugerencia pues ya esta ...
@Elliot Kirk Appreciate the post I honestly thought this was part of Chromium which to my understanding is what was leveraged as a base... Obviously I don't understand something but good to see you guys add that feature.
Chrome does have secondary password encryption where it saves my passwords but when installing fresh or on a new computer it guides me into filling in my secondary password (so only locally saved) so I know that the cloud version is at least stored with that encryption.
I see others have mentioned it i would like to see this feature.
@ppnacho Hey, thanks for the response. I believe I understand what you want, and if so, then Edge already does this.
I don't use Chrome, so I am not familiar with how it handles password management, but in Edge Insider you must provide your Windows credentials to be able to view stored passwords. This is like using a "master password" in Firefox and LastPass.
This is already how it works, and I have no reason to think Microsoft will alter this in the future when password syncing becomes available.
First, thank your help. Thank you!!!
And the second, apologize for not understanding exactly what you wanted me to say (English problems) !!
After the last message, I have reviewed it and effectively ask for the windows password to reveal the passwords of your favorite sites.
I have always tried on my home pc computer and on this computer the windows password is blank and it is for this reason that I could never see the windows password request window.
Having said that, I would like to thank @Mary Branscombe and @garyvoth again and apologize for my mistake.
Anyway, I think we should give it one more round for cases in which the windows users have a blank password or use a shared session. I think we had to separate the passwords stored in the browser from the windows password.
However, I consider that it is currently an advance as it is now.
Thanks again to all!!
(En español)
Lo primero, agradecer vuestra ayuda. Muchas gracias!!!
Y lo segundo, pediros disculpas por no comprender exactamente lo que me queriais decir (problemas de ingles)!!
Tras el ultimo mensaje, lo he revisado y efectivamente se pide la contraseña de windows para desvelar las contraseñas de tus sitios favoritos.
Siempre he probado en mi equipo pc de casa y en este equipo la contraseña de windows la tengo en blanco y es por este motivo por el que nunca podia ver la ventana de peticion de clave de windows.
Dicho esto, vuelvo a dar las gracias a @Mary Branscombe y @garyvoth y pedirles disculpas por mi error.
De todas formas, creo que habria que darle una vuelta mas para los casos en los que los usuarios de windows tienen contraseña en blanco o bien utilizan una sesion compartida. Pienso que habia que separar las contraseñas guardadas en el navegador de la contraseña de windows.
No obstante, considero que actualmente es un avance tal y como esta ahora.
Muchas gracias de nuevo a todos!!
I'm not quite sure how many others feel this way about auto filling sensitive information but I prefer to rely on my own backing store for sensitive data rather than any browser's built in method. I used to use LastPass and now I use Bitwarden to manage such data. It would be fantastic if Edge could allow you to pick another source for auto fill data natively instead of what is currently the norm which is adding a context menu option for Bitwarden or LastPass.
@Elliot Kirk one thing I have really missed since using Edge, is the ability to remove items from the Autofill options. When developing, you often end up typing all sorts of different data into names, addresses, emails, etc. With IE you used to be able to clear that data up easily enough by just deleting it from the list when the browser displayed it. Please bring back a way to remove items from these lists easily.
@mduregon +1 for me. It was one of the reasons I still preferred to use IE in the modern world. Sites like SFDC tend to cache autofill info and while you want to remove one item you don't want all your info deleted. If this can come back it would be AMAZING!!!

@Elliot Kirk will all these configuration settings roam/sync with AAD (Azure Active Directory) accounts as used with Office 365? One of the reasons my clients moved from Edge to Chrome was that Microsoft actively disable settings sync if you're on AD basic subscription. So if your laptop blew up, bang - all your settings and favourites are lost. And upgrading to Azure Premium just for synchronisation wasn't cost justified esp. Chrome did other things better (like multiple profiles/people).
Please make sure, the website devs have control over the autofill. There are situations where chrome wrongly suggests autocomplete options into unrelated fields. And since they also ignore autocomplete=off, it may happen that the browser automatically fills in a password to a form field that has nothing to do with the origin of the password thus sending the user password to a new site.
@Drew1903 @Vadim Sterkin thanks for pointing out an improvement area we hear your feedback.
@David Gibson thanks for the detailed questions and clearly calling out your concerns. Given we are talking about sensitive information here, we believe that security around how this data is stored and accessed is very important. In short, you can view the saved password for a website only upon additional authentication. We will follow up with a detailed post that will address all aspects of security and encryption regarding how your sensitive data is handled in Edge.
@arthill thanks for pointing out. This is the kind of feedback that is very valuable for our team. Our team will look into this bug. Next time you observe something similar, please hit the smiley on the top right corner of the browser so your feedback reaches our team promptly.
@garyvoth thanks a lot for your feedback and the edit that followed! It would still be valuable to know whether you were able to locate the search bar without any difficulty when you needed it. Thanks and keep sharing your feedback with us!
@mduregon thanks for sharing your feedback. We have also heard other users share similar feedback in the past and our team is looking into this.
@Mirronelli thanks for your feedback. If you see such an issue happening for some site in Edge please let us know. You can share you feedback by clicking on the smiley on the top right corner of the browser.
I like what i see so far, but i kind of wish this would work more like a password manager. When i go to a website i have to log onto the password manager before it will fill the password. So it provides a second login. I suppose logging into Windows is a similar control but if you leave your computer on someone else would be able to get to all your websites that have saved passwords in Edge.
It would be nice to have a password generator button on a website when you want to change a password. Is that something you plan on adding? Enpass password manager has a nifty setup for specifying how complicated you want passwords to be, how long, include upper and lower case, numbers, symbols, pronounceable words or just nonsense. Any password generator would be a great addition.
Thanks @leon_h for your inputs. Understand your preference for having an additional login. However as of today, you would be able to sign in and sign out of the browser independently of Windows login. We will look into your feedback. Thanks again for sharing your thoughts.
@Elliot Kirk This may sound counter-intuitive, but I think you should consider investing in integration with popular password / autofill managers such as LastPass and Dashlane. Basically, the ideal scenarios would be like this:
At official release of Edge C, I will be able to link my current LastPass / Dashlane to my Windows account.
No extensions needed to be installed. I can access (read & write) passwords / personal info stored in LastPass / Dashlane via native Edge C user experience.
As Edge C password / autofill manager features mature, particularly syncing across devices and sharing among family members, I'm provided a way to import from LastPass / Dashlane into Edge C and retire my LastPass / Dashlane accounts. When browsing, I will continue to use the native Edge C user experience I will have grown familiar with by then.
@ppnacho There is a master password for Chrome, and now for Edge (Dev). It currently requires you to re-authenticate with you Windows Credentials, so being absent from post without locking your computer (a very bad practice, by the way) will still require the malicious passerby to authenticate access again through Windows.

@Mary Branscombe , @ericlaw
I apologize for writing a long post on this topic yesterday; this article is well hidden and I hadn't seen it before1.
The article answers many of my questions, but not this one: what is the objection to updating the Windows Credential Manager each time Edge saves a password in one of its profiles? Windows Credentials are protected by yet another layer of security on top of the multiple layers you mention: passwords can only be revealed by entering the user's Windows username and password.
It is tiresome to have to maintain multiple lists of saved passwords when we used only to have one to deal with.
@ericlaw wrote:
... a single Windows User Account may have multiple unrelated Edge Profiles, each of which is designed to have a separate set of unshared credentials.
I'm probably being particularly dense, but I still don't get it.
I have spent years of my life - since XP days - trying to persuade people not to share their Windows user account with anyone who they don't want to be able to read their documents, see their pictures, read their email and see their passwords.
Each set of credentials is unique. A particular site - login.live.com, for example - may allow for multiple usernames for a single account (any number of aliases, a phone number and a Skype name), but the password is (or should be) unique to that account. So the Windows Credential Manager stores this unique password for each of the usernames whenever it's used in IE or Edge. There is no possibility (or ought not to be) of being able to sign in at a particular site with a specific username and more than one password.
So where does unshared come from? Of course credentials are not (normally) shared with different Windows user accounts, although it's quite possible for, say, a whole family to share an Outlook.com's calendar and contacts simply by having a 'family account' expressly for that purpose.
"passwords can only be revealed by entering the user's Windows username and password"
It's not quite as simple as that. As soon as any password is filled in the browser, it is trivial to retrieve it.
Sorry, I was referring solely to being able to reveal passwords in Credential Manager.
The article you referred to only talks about 'stealing' your own password from the browser. That password may be stored by the browser in the browser profile, but that profile is only accessible by the Windows user concerned. If the Windows user account is properly protected with a strong password or biometric data as Mary explained, then the browser profile and its stored passwords are equally well protected. ¿No?

Thanks Mary. This, of course, jibes with what some of us have been striving to convey.

YES, Noel. I will just add to what you have said & said well. That is the whole nice point of single sign-on; the MS/Windows acc't with its VERY unique User name & P/W is a person's passport, allows travel and gets a visa stamp when they go anywhere with it so they can enter various 'countries' and be recognized. Plus, beyond & an addition to that, specific sites or heaps of things we do require their own unique User name & P/W to enter THAT place. Just use strong P/Ws & let's move on :smiling_face_with_smiling_eyes: Well, as long as you don't forget P/Ws ;) If everyone, really, knew the authentication processes & policies of MS & Windows there be less discussion or concern... to know them is to appreciate them. It is, deep, wide & strong!

Soaker: 1 c coarse whole wheat flour or other ground grains (I used oats); 3/4 c water at room temp.
Poolish: 1 1/2 C whole wheat flour, 1/4 t instant years, 3/4 c water at room temperature.
Dough: 2 C whole wheat flour, 1 1/3 t salt, 1 t instant yeast, 2 T honey, 1 T vegetable oil, 1 egg
The day before making the bread, make the soaker and poolish. For the soaker, mix together the coarse whole-wheat flour and the water in a bowl, cover the bowl with plastic wrap, leave at room temperature to next day. For the poolish, mix together the whole wheat flour and yeast, then stir in water to make a paste. Stir only until all the flour is hydrated, then cover the bowl with plastic, allow to ferment at room temp. for 4 hours. Place in refrigerator overnight.
The next day remove the poolish from the refrigerator 1 hour before making the dough to take off the chill. In a mixing bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, salt, yeast. Add poolish and soaker, honey, oil and egg. Stir until dough forms a ball, adding more water/flour if needed.
Sprinkle whole wheat flour on counter, transfer the dough to the counter and knead until it becomes a firm, supple dough. 10-15 minutes. Dough should register 77-81F. Lightly oil a bowl and transfer dough to the bowl, cover with wrap and ferment 2 hours.
Divide into two pieces and shape into loaves. Mist tops with oil and cover, proofing for 90 minutes.
Bake at 350 for 50 minutes.
+++Both of these breads come from Peter Reinhart: The Bread Baker's Apprentice. I've created over a dozen of his breads from this book and have enjoyed every one!
