What is fun about bowling?
While I have an immense passion for my personal bowling game, for me, true enjoyment within the sport is found while assisting fellow bowlers. I love being able to utilize my knowledge on the lanes and in the pro shop to help improve the games of others, making them life-long bowlers who strive for success and have fun in the process!

Habitat for Life
(Conservation Currents, Northern Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District)
Soil and Water Stewardship Week comes around just once a year, in early May, but stewardship of the environment should be observed year round.
Each and every one of us has a personal responsibility to be a good steward of the land, water, wildlife, and other natural resources that enhance our quality of life. The concept of habitat, which most of us think of in terms of wildlife, should also include human and other living things around us that make up the place where we live. The basic elements of habitat are food, water, and shelter.
As living creatures with an appetite for control over our domain, humankind has a special responsibility to sustain a healthy balance of all living elements that make up our surroundings.
It is common to think about people losing their homes and the quality of their living environments as being something that happens to someone else, or in some other place. That may not always be the case. As we see sprawling growth take farmland and open space, read about a city's drinking water being polluted by a chemical spill, or watch as flood wipes out neighborhoods and towns, we are witnessing a steady loss of the habitat for life that is needed by all people and other living things. When an animal or plant species becomes extinct, we are all a little less because of that loss. If that extinction occurs because we, as humans, were careless or thoughtless, we bear that responsibility.
So what can we, as individuals, do?
Plant a tree, make your backyard more friendly for wildlife, test your soil to make sure you put just the right amount of fertilizer on your lawn, or put in terraces to help slow runoff from heavy rains. Volunteer for neighborhood and stream cleanups, report polluters and other violators, recycle your household waste, take hazardous waste to a designated collection site, clean up after your pet, and keep yard and other debris away from storm drains.
Teach your children about the importance of conserving water, about preventing soil erosion, about the effect of pollution on aquatic life in our streams. Help them to appreciate the wonders of the natural world and how we as humans have altered the balance of the ecosystem.
Do your part to protect our habitat so all life will thrive for years to come.

Forest Practices Biomass Work Group updated 8/7/12
Commissioner of Public Lands Peter Goldmark convened a Forest Practices Biomass Work-Group in the fall of 2010 to evaluate the impacts of biomass removal on ecological health and determine whether changes were needed to the Forest Practices Rules to ensure public resource protection in light of the emerging biomass-to-energy sector.
The group met from November 2010 through July 2012 and developed a set of recommendations that were presented to the Forest Practices Board in August 2012. The proceedings from these meetings can be found here.
ResourcesAnother outcome of the work-group process was a compilation of some of the current science around biomass removal and the impacts of biomass removal on numerous aspects of ecological health and function.

Sub-Saharan African economies have enjoyed the second-fastest growth rate in the world for the past decade, and the trend looks set to continue, according to the Institute of International Finance (IIF).
The global association of financial institutions last week released its first regional report on Sub-Saharan Africa, covering seven countries - Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria, South Africa, Tanzania and Zambia - that together account for 65% of the region's economy.
The release was timed to coincide with the IIF's inaugural Africa Financial Summit, taking place in Cape Town on Monday and Tuesday and bringing together more than 100 financial sector leaders from across the world to deliberate on the progress and prospects for African economies and financial markets.
The seven countries surveyed have, the report states, achieved an average annual 4.7% rate of economic growth since 2007, despite the global financial crisis of 2008-09.
"Many countries on the African continent have achieved great progress in stabilising their economies and consolidating their rates of growth," George Abed, director of the IIF's Africa and Middle East department, said in a statement.
"What is remarkable about this outcome is that it has been achieved during a period of unprecedented global financial turbulence. There are challenges ahead for Africa, but the trend of solid growth of the past decade looks sustainable over the medium term."
Foreign direct investment
The region's strong economic performance, the report states, has been underpinned by more democratic political processes and better macroeconomic management.
At the same time, capital flows into Sub-Saharan Africa have shifted from the public to the private sector over the past decade.
These have remained focused on foreign direct investment (FDI), primarily in oil, gas, mining and chemicals, but more recently in the telecoms and retail sectors. Between 2000 and 2011, FDI in the seven countries surveyed rose more than five-fold, from under US$3-billion to $15.5-billion.
Portfolio investments
However, attractive yields have also drawn in portfolio investors, especially in Ghana, Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa. In 2011 for example, the report estimates that inward portfolio investments totaled around $12.5-billion, more than half of which was directed towards South Africa.
"Capital accounts and markets have become more open and, together with better governance, this has facilitated a rise in portfolio investment in the past few years," the report states. "The stock of portfolio liabilities in the seven countries covered in the report rose from $21-billion in 2001 to $167-billion in 2010."
According to the report, foreign investors in the region have tended to focus more on bond than equities in the past few years, particularly in South Africa, due partly to the large yield differential between the country's government bonds and US and European treasuries.
"Fixed income activity has in addition been particularly strong this year, as foreign funds positioned themselves ahead of South Africa's inclusion in Citigroup's World Government Bond Index (WGBI), and Nigeria's entry into the JP Morgan GBI-EM bond index."
Previewing the challenges facing Sub-Saharan Africa, Abed cautioned that the region's recent strong performance had been helped by massive debt relief and a sustained commodity boom, but that "the future global environment may not be so accommodating.
"The prospects for continued growth in Sub-Saharan Africa remain contingent on greater economic diversification and on reducing dependence on commodity exports," Abed said.
"Progress on political stability remains fragile, and this needs to be reinforced by building strong institutions, cementing further the rule of law, and improving public accountability."

Good value
My wife and I purchased this mattress in September 2012, shortly after we'd moved into our first house and money was tight. We built our own bed frame that let us put solid plywood directly beneath the mattress so it wouldn't sink through any bar supports and it became our master bedroom mattress. Now, I'm a classic linebacker build and my college athletics days are a long time behind me - I'm a solid 6'4" and 320 lbs, and have some back injuries that make finding a mattress a challenge. At my size, I've never found a mattress that really keeps up for the long haul. Sure enough, after 2.5 years, the top few inches of the mattress on my side are very compressed and form a distinct valley. I'm starting to get some back pain and find it harder to sleep. Having looked around for a couple of months, I can't find a convincing argument that a more expensive mattress would be more durable. So I'm ordering another one of these. I found this to be a very comfortable mattress for the first two years. It seems to sleep a little hot, but it wasn't a problem for me. Not being able to flip the mattress certainly doesn't help its longevity, but to be fair, my wife's side of the mattress seems just fine. Overall, the $ per day figure is pretty compelling, even in my case where it has to be replaced every couple of years.Read More
Good Value for the money - NOTE SNORERS
This mattress takes a while to get used to. We are a male (220lbs) and female (125lbs). It took us about a week to get used to the "sand like" feeling of the mattress. It is not a roll out of bed bed. You want to stay in it, and it is hard to roll off of. We selected the 14" thickness for durability. I (the female) am now completely comfortable in it. Best part for me - I can't feel my very active sleeping partner roll around any longer. However, his snoring was more amplified with this mattress...I think the comfort of the mattress amplified his snoring. He is now back on his cpap after being off of it for 5+years. With the cpap, both of us are now sleeping like babies. Just know that it takes time to adjust to the mattress. But well worth the money spent. We shopped mattresses at the "normal" stores and would have spent double or triple what we spent for this mattress for the comfort. Just maybe not for couples who have a snorer in their midst - unless you already have a cpap.Read More
My wife and I have had bad backs for decades, mine from construction and logging and hers from an old job injury (upcoming 4th surgery for her) and we did our research as any frugal shopper would for the best product for the least money and I have to say THIS IS IT!It took a week or two to adjust to a memory foam bed but since then neither of us wakes up taking 1-2 hours to limber up and there are no more motion stopping bad back days. Our bad back days, when we rarely have them, are so minuet we rarely notice.We didn't need a foundation because we bought a new bedroom set and it was a chest bed (8 lower large chest drawers) for additional bedroom storage.WE ALSO LIKE the no shimmy feature with a memory foam bed, either of us can toss and turn or get up in the night for a bathroom run and we do not wake the other person.DO NOT BUY a topper that installs on an existing conventional box spring and mattress, you will regret it because you will still have the bed vibration and also not the FULL quality and features of total memory foam sleep. With a topper you will still sink and lump with the old mattress and box spring underneath you..Do not hesitate to buy this product, there is way to much quality sleep and less back pain to take charge of and not to have those two features/events/pain back into your life. Had I known more of memory foam before I would have made the change and bought one years ago. Do your foam study and research and you will understand why not to pay thousands for the name brand memory foam mattresses. If the star scale went higher on this review I would give it a strong 10 ....... Hope this review helps you like the reviews I had read here at Overstock before I bought mine, enjoy~~ :-))Ps: No foam smell in ours and to uncompress took an hour....Read More
LOVE it!
We were so close to dropping four grand on the mega name brand version of this bed but worried about the mixed reviews most memory foam-type beds get. I figured I would rather risk a few hundred dollars on this bed than drop a couple month's salary on a name brand. I prefer a firmer mattress and my husband a softer, so we compromised and got the medium. This bed is perfect firmness for both of us. I usually look forward to going to bed because I like to sleep, but now - I seriously cannot wait to crawl up in this bed and not come out till the daylight! I have never slept so hard in my life, and considering I'm 9 months pregnant - that is saying a LOT. My husband works late nights and I don't even notice him when get crawls into bed at night. Our room is a bit drafty and we haven't had a problem with the bed being too firm b/c of that. I'm also a furnace when I sleep and this bed keeps me at a nice and comfortable temp. So in conclusion I would like to say that I LOVE this bed and would have paid the brand name price for it, but thanks to Ostock I didn't have to! Add'l advice - sign up for Omail and wait for a **% off coupon and then join Club O at the time of this purchase and you'll get enough money back in rewards to buy a new set of sheets!Read More
wont last
We purchased this mattress on Feb 23 2008. It is Feb 3 2010 and this mattress is now a major paper weight. It has lumps, valley's and now I feel like I sleep in a narrow gutter. Even when first getting into bed, the memory on the foam has ceased to go back to it's flat state and when putting new sheets on the bed, you can see 2 deep dents where my husband and I lay. Back when we bought it, it cost us $****. To spend that kind of money on a mattress that lasts less than 3 years is in my opinion a terrible buy. These dents began about 8 months ago and have got so bad, that I now dread going to bed. Beware... this bed will not hold up with time.Read More
Best Non-Tempurpedic Foam Mattress Out There
I have a Tempurpedic Countour Select king mattress in my main home (a loft), and just recently put this one (firm) in my weekend/vacation mountain home. So I go back and forth sleeping on both of them. This may be the best non-Tempurpedic mattress I've slept on, and it's very comfortable, but for anyone trying to see whether it holds a candle to the "original," it doesn't. You DO get what you pay for in memory foam mattresses. That's the cold honest truth. However, I think this is an outstanding mattress, and at 1/5 the price of the tempurpedic, is the only really sane option for the vast majority of America. And if you are sleeping on some "air bed", "water bed" or "spring bed"... RUN, don't WALK, to the computer and order this bed. It will be an enormous improvement over what you are sleeping on. And only if you really have the resources, then consider paying 5x the price for a Tempurpedic. But there are so few reviews out there by people that actually own both this and the real tempurpedic, that I felt I needed to write the review. Also, I think the medium is probably what most people would want for a memory foam, unless you are very light and very old, in which case getting the soft makes the most sense. I mean that truthfully... thin and light people just don't weigh enough to rapidly cause the new foam to break down to it's "usual firmness" which is actually quite soft. The reality is you have to sleep in a bed for 6 weeks before it will reach the right firmness. If you have little kids or grandkids, have them jump all over the mattress when you get it to accelerate this process, by the way. Anyway, very happy with this as my second mattress. It's outstanding value. I'll always order from Overstock when I can. Just don't expect it to be equal to a Tempurpedic. One's a very pretty cubic zirconia and one is the very real diamond. And I mean that in the very best way.Read More
Great mattress! Excellent Value!
My wife and I had spent the last 12 years sleeping on a top of the line Sterns & Foster double pillowtop king-sized mattress. We are in our late-30s and I weight ~200lbs and my wife ~105lbs so there is a significant weight difference which you could clearly see from the divots on our old mattress even with regular turning and rotation. After a TON of research including looking at the $4,000+ well known name brand in the memory foam market we thought we would roll the dice on this mattress as it had lots of reviews from satisfied customers who had also done their research before purchasing. In summary, the mattress arrived within a week and expanded to its full size within 24hrs. There was no bad smell with our mattress as others had posted. My wife had been experiencing lower back pain for a longtime prior to switching to this mattress and I am happy to report her back pain is gone. The mattress is wonderful and we are both getting quality deep sleep at night. The mattress takes a few days to a week to get used to as its different from sleeping on a traditional mattress but the support and comfort it provides is great. After reading the reviews we chose the "soft" version of this mattress which will feel very firm to those who are use to sleeping on a soft/pillowtop traditional mattress. The memory foam supports your body which keeps you from wiggling around at night to get comfortable. You also don't disturb your partner if you get up in the middle of the night as the memory foam material absorbs that energy. We love the mattress and would highly recommend this specific mattress if you are considering making a change.Read More

Based on our needs and reviews
What is the weight??
Hello bargainseekinglady, the weight is approximately 125 pounds. Thank you for shopping with us! Terri D.
Do you need a box spring with this mattress?
Hello ajv1982, I hope your day is going well. This can be used with a preexisting box spring or a platform bed. Thank you for shopping with us.
If/when a problem arises, who pays for shipping to the manufacturer? I'm well aware that shipping can cost upwards of $200, which is almost 1/3 of the cost of the mattress.
Hello chelseaalex17, once opened this product is non-returnable, unless it arrives to you damaged or defective in which case, you would return at no cost to you. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
To current users: please describe the longevity of the mattress. If possible include weights (I know that sinking is inevitable for heavier people.) Thank you all!
Hello Chelseaalex17, memory foam generally has a life span of 10-20 years depending on use and proper care. Thanks for shopping with us! A.S.
I am so sorry to ask this but the bed arrived and I can't tell which side is which. I ordered firm and there is a firm side but it doesn't seem to be memory foam. The other side which does seem to be memory foam is super soft. I ordered firm so please help me because I am not satified.
I did figure it out by taking the cover off. I could see the top layers so I now know that the bed is just not what I wanted.
My husband is 120 pound and I'm 90 pound so should I get soft or medium mattress?
i like the soft
I would have to say the medium but it is definately up to your personal preferance. I prefer the firm.
I ordered firm and if I lean on the bed or kneel on it my knee goes right down to the support core. Get firm or you are going to have a sloggy mess.
Does this mattress come with a cover/mattress pad?
has a non protective cover, no mattress pad, Need to buy one as an leak will be permanent, water proof is preferable.
It does not. We have had this mattress for several years now and it really has helped my husbands arthritic shoulders and it's a very comfortable sleep for me...
it does come with cover
Which Comfort Dream model would be best for side sleepers and for someone who sleeps hot?
Hello bighouse65, From reading the reviews it looks like this one would work great for you. Thank you for shopping with us!
I have this an am a side sleeper, its fine however a little stiff the first 3 months.
My wife and I ordered this mattress on 1/10/2011. The mattress was wonderful for about a year and a half. The last year or so it has begun to sag significantly, and will not return to its shape. My back hurts more than before I bought this mattress, and my wife is having back and neck issues. She has never had issues before this mattress began to sag. Can you please provide me with a contact number to handle a customer complaint?
Thank you for your inquiry; you will be contacted by Customer Care.
Is the mattress open-cell structure?
Thank you for shopping with us paula1000.Yes, open cell Visco is used in the construction of this mattress.
No, it is solid foam as far as I can tell. I find it to be very comfortable even with my lower back problems.
Is there a trial return period, such as the 90 days that tempurpedic offers?
If you're not certain you want this product, don't order it. It would be difficult and costly to ship back. We have a tempurpedic for our main use, purchased this for guest use. Tempurpedic is definitely better, but this is comfortable, too.
I'm sorry this item is non-returnable.
When I bought this it was advertised as coming with a 60 day trial period. That was unnecessary for us. It suited us perfectly, more comfortable than either tempura edit or select comfort in my view.
It says the mattress is red, is it really red?
We apologize for the confusion, and thank you for bringing this to our attention. This mattress is tan, not red.
the 12inch memory foam mattress from comfort dreams states it has a cover, the 14 inch does not. Does it also come with covering?
Yes, this item comes with a cover.
I am receiving this mattress tomorrow but will not move into new house for 4 weeks. Is it ol to keep mattress in box?
Yes, it is fine if you leave the mattress in the box.
What is the density of this mattress.
This mattress is available in three different variations of firmness. Each level of firmness has a 3.5 pound density.
does the 5 yr warranty cover if the mattress "dips" or does not restore to original shape after time?
Why is this mattress more expensive than the dual density one?
We are researching the answer to this question and will get to you within 1 to 2 business days.
Do you need a box spring or is this mattress all in one
The mattress can be used with existing box springs or with a platform bed without box springs.

Parve Caesar's Dressing
February 23rd 2012By Levana Kirschenbaum
This dressing is much too good to be used only on salad, so go ahead and use it on grilled fish, or skip the anchovies in the dressing and use it on poached or grilled chicken.
Orange-Soy Vinaigrette
May 12th 2013By Victoria Dwek
I created this one day while simply experimenting with Asian and citrus flavors I love.
Lemon Basil Dressing
April 17th 2013By Victoria Dwek
One day, my mom came home raving about this dressing that her friend Renna had served at a luncheon. First, she tried to recreate it from memory, but it wasn't the same. A quick text message to Renna for the real secrets gave us much better results.
Homemade Ranch Dressing
March 14th 2013By Beth Warren
Make your own Ranch Dressing for Passover and pair it with some yummy raw veggies to curb your appetite for the seders…
Fruity Balsamic Dressing
April 30th 2013By Victoria Dwek
Salads with loads of candied nuts might not be the healthiest versions, but they're still my favorite. I'll always choose a salad with that sweet crunch over any other kind. Of course, they need a sweet dressing to go with it. This one is easy to remember. Often, I try to get away with using half the olive oil so I can enjoy more of those nuts!
Creamy Sriracha Dressing
May 11th 2013By Victoria Dwek
We might get confused and use this dressing with our sushi, but I think a sriracha dressing works just as well with Mexican-inspired ingredients as it does with Asian.

More on Dynamics CRM RebrandingPosted by Mike Snyder on September 28, 2005 | Comments (1)
On September 7th, Microsoft announced that their Microsoft Business Solutions products will be rebranded under the "Dyanmics" name. From what we've pieced together over the past few weeks, here is our analysis of how the Dynamics rebranding will impact Microsoft CRM:
- Microsoft CRM will be rebranded as "Microsoft Dynamics CRM", but the full Dynamics name only needs to be referenced in the first mention. Subsequent product references can be just "Microsoft CRM". This is actually the same as the current branding where the official name is "Microsoft Business Solutions CRM", but everyone simply refers to the name "Microsoft CRM". So this should be no problem whatsoever, and as a bonus CRM can help leverage some of the Dynamics-related brand equity (from print ads, trade shows, etc.).
- It is our understanding that the Dynamics branding will appear in CRM 3.0 marketing materials, but the product launch should NOT be delayed by the re-branding.
- Long term (2008 or later), the ERP products Axapta, Great Plains, Navision and Solomon will consolidate to one ERP product simply named "Microsoft Dynamics". However, Microsoft CRM will continue to be sold separately from the Dynamics ERP product. This ERP code consolidation is a key part of Project Green (Wave 2) initiative you might have heard about over the past few years.
Overall, we like the new Dynamics branding and we're glad to hear that Microsoft CRM will continue as a stand-alone project well in the future!
Microsoft Office 2003 Service Pack 2 ReleasedPosted by Mike Snyder on September 27, 2005 | Comments (0)
Microsoft released Service Pack 2 for Office 2003 today, and you can download it here. I checked the "official" Microsoft CRM system requirements, and there is no mention of needing Service Pack 1 for Office 2003, so we assume CRM users are safe to update their machines with Office 2003 Service Pack 2...
GARTNER: Microsoft's collaboration "dominance" vs. IBMPosted by Mike Snyder on September 23, 2005 | Comments (0)
Got this little tidbit from Dale Timberlake, our Midwest District Partner Team Lead:
Hot off the Gartner presses, a terrific report entitled "Microsoft and IBM Share Similar Collaboration Goals, but Follow Different Paths." The report compares the long-term vision of each company in order to predict how successfully or unsuccessfully IBM will compete with Microsoft's "dominance" and "early lead" in the space.

A few highlights:
- "By 2009, Microsoft's collaborative vision will achieve significant, if not overwhelming, enterprise adoption (0.9 probability). The viability of Microsoft in the integrated collaboration market is not really in question."
- "Given Microsoft's dominance and ambitious plans for Windows and Office System, it will almost certainly continue to dominate. Whether IBM is a distant second or a realistic challenger depends on how it executes its basically sound strategy. Based on current performance, we believe IBM is more likely to be a distant second."
- "IBM has the more difficult job ahead of it, because Microsoft has taken an early lead in building support for its vision of integrated collaboration."

PDC Wrapup & PicturesPosted by Mike Snyder on September 16, 2005 | Comments (0)
Yesterday was our last day at the PDC show, unfortunately I need to get back to the office and catch up on several hundred emails! Overall we had a great time and learned a ton about upcoming developer technologies. Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2005 will provide incredible productivity gains, but they won't be released until November 7th. Office 12 looks like it will be amazing too.
Below are some photos I took of the show, so you can get a little feel for what it looked like:

Live from PDC: Arash's PowerPoint file for downloadPosted by Mike Snyder on September 15, 2005 | Comments (0)
They released Arash's PowerPoint presentation from yesterday's PDC session, and we posted it for you to download. The PowerPoint explains from a high level the Microsoft Word - Microsoft CRM bidirectional integration that he demonstrated. The outline of his presentation was:
- Microsoft CRM V3.0 overview
- Architecture and Extensibility overview
- Price proposal management business scenarios
- Solution - Customization and schema generation
- Solution - Form event programming and object model
- Solution - Web Services and Object Model
- Solution - .NET assembly code extensions (Callouts & Workflow)
- Solution - Office integration Solution - Demo
Download the PowerPoint presentation here... (3 MB)
There are a few good images/screenshots from this presentation that share more information about Microsoft CRM 3.0. We'll break those details out and post everything to our website soon.
The screenshot to the right shows the Microsoft Word Taskpane that Arash designed to handle the Microsoft CRM integration.
Again, Arash said that this sample (with the source code) will eventually be released to the MSDN website for public download and usage.
Lastly, Microsoft gave copies of the Visual Studio 2005 Release Candidate to all PDC attendess this morning...very cool!
Live from PDC: Extending and Customizing Microsoft CRM SolutionsPosted by Mike Snyder on September 14, 2005 | Comments (0)
|Microsoft CRM Program Manager
Arash Ghanaie-Sichanie
Microsoft CRM Program Manager Arash Ghanaie-Sichanie presented the "Extending and Customizing Microsoft CRM Solutions" PDC session today. Just the like the Microsoft Partner Conference in July, the room was packed (but not quite standing room only!). Arash explained in detail how to create a proposal in Microsoft Word that pulls data from and publishes data to Microsoft CRM. He created this by using the Visual Studio Tools for Office to create a custom task pane in Microsoft Word that connects to Microsoft CRM 3.0 web services. Arash said the code he demoed today will eventually be published on MSDN after CRM 3.0 releases.
Most people familiar with Microsoft CRM know that the quote output in version 1.2 was a little lacking, so being able to implement this type of Word-CRM integration will be very beneficial to many different customers.
During the Q&A session, one of the audience members asked a good question about working with Outlook offline. He wanted to know if the pre and post-callout functionality of CRM 3.0 works when a user is offline. Arash answered the question by pointing out the following:
- CRM 3.0 has additional hooks exposed to indicate when a user if offline, and you could create additional code to handle this situtation
- When an offline user goes back online, all of their offline changes will then run through the appropriate callouts loaded on the server.
PDC posts the PowerPoints from each session for attendees to download, but they haven't posted Arash's file yet. Once they release it, we'll publish it for you to download too.
Live from PDC: Chunks and FloatiesPosted by Mike Snyder on September 13, 2005 | Comments (1)
We've heard the expression "chunks" and "floaties" a bunch today at PDC. While it might sound like some party gone terribly terribly wrong, chunks and floaties are actually names for elements of the new Office 12 User Interface. I just listened to Jensen Harris breakdown the new Office 12 UI in detail, and I am even more impressed with the revamped Office 12 interface now than I was at the keynote this morning. Here are some of the new UI features:
- Ribbon (dynamic UI element replacing File / Edit / Insert / etc. menus)
- Chunks (sub-sections of the Ribbon)
- Galleries (graphical elements within a Chunk)
- Live Previews (allows you to preview changes without actually applying them)
- Floatie (quick access to Galleries next to selected text)
- Super Tool Tips (floating context sensitive help)
- Key Tips (all Office 12 commands are now keyboard accessible!)
- Window Frame enhacements
- Context Menus now use Galleries instead of launching dialogs
- New File Menu
- New Application Settings / User Preferences (replacing "Options)
I found a website that posted new Office 12 screenshots if you want to check it out for yourself.
Jensen said that the following applications will receive the new UI in Office 12, and the rest of the Office applications would be updated later:
- Word
- Excel
- Outlook
- Access
- Powerpoint
The one question everyone wanted to know: will there be a "classic mode" so that users can work using the Office 2003 UI? The answer: no! All of the new features and the updated context simply don't map to the old UI so there won't be a classic mode.
To me, the best part of the Office 12 presentation was hearing that Microsoft made a lot of their design decisions based off data collected from actual Office 2003 usage...instead of making these decisions off "gut instinct". Even though the new UI is a drastic depature from Office 2003, I am confident it will drastically improve usability.
Microsoft CRM featured in PDC KeynotePosted by Mike Snyder on September 13, 2005 | Comments (0)
We're live at the Microsoft Professional Developer's Conference, and I am very glad to report that a Microsoft CRM 3.0 demo made the opening keynote speech by Bill Gates! They showed how CRM 3.0 will include an RSS XML feature where you can configure CRM to dynamically publish customer data. Their demo showed an RSS export of customer qutoes, but the concept could be easily extended to other topics such as new Leads, won Opportunities, new Cases, etc. We're very excited that CRM is receiving "keynote level attention"!
Of course, there was lots of other cool stuff in the keynote but because it was ridiculously long (over 3.5 hours), everyone's schedule are a little goofed right now. Here's a quick list of some of my other personal keynote highlights before I have to run to my next session:
- First public demo of Office 12 - they showed the new UI which is very different from Office 2003, but I think people will like it a lot
- More demos of Vista - lots of great stuff with the tricks they are using to improve application performance. The Vista UI is just amazing to see.
- Enhancements to C# by using LINQ (new technology/syntax)
- Public release of ATLAS - Microsoft's implementation of AJAX web application technology (very very cool)
I'll post again later as we learn more...
CRM 3.0 Fact Sheet Released!Posted by Mike Snyder on September 12, 2005 | Comments (0)
Now we're getting somewhere! Microsoft published an "official" Microsoft CRM 3.0 Fact Sheet. This two page PDF lists out some of the new 3.0 features from a high level (categorized under their 3 product launch themes):
- Works the way you do
- Works the way your business does
- Works the way IT expects it to
There are a few more screenshots in this document, but they are almost impossible to see due to image compression reducing the quality. Just take our word for it, the Microsoft CRM 3.0 user interface looks great!

Doing the full tuning works on Italian supercars always seems wrong, somehow. Whereas American seems to lend itself to the more-power-and-bodywork treatment, it seems almost sacrilegious to subject beautiful Italian metal to the same fate.
That's never stopped German tuning house Novitec, mind. They've already brought us the supercharged Ferrari 599 and supercharged F430, and now we've got a first look at the, er, supercharged Maserati GranTurismo S.
That supercharger, along with a remapped ECU and a new exhaust system, boosts the power out of the GT's 4.7-litre V8 from a piffling 433bhp to a whopping 600bhp.
To deal with all that power, the Tridente GranTurismo (for that is what Novitec calls it) gets a revised suspension systems, massive 21-inch wheels on the back (the fronts are mere 20s) and a big carbon fibre bodykit.
And you know what? We don't hate it. OK, it doesn't quite have the ice-cool, understated chic of the stock GTS, but it's definitely not bad.
Or are we plainly wrong? Speak the truth and we shall listen.

HSBC "lift" by Grey London
Agency: Grey London
Rating: 5.0
By Ed Owen, brandrepublic.com, Friday, 12 November 2010 10:08AM
Apple's victory was cemented by the iPhone 4 winning in the Best Phone category.
The iPad was summed-up as "expensive and functionally limited," by Stuff editor Fraser Macdonald.
He said: "It is also quite gloriously indispensable and only making itself more so with the increasing number of apps and accessories. To see it is to want it, and that's why it's our gadget of the year."
The iPad triumphed against competition from the Amazon Kindle and Sky's new HD launch, which includes 3D, to win the award.
The Honda CR-Z took the Eco Gadget crown, because, according to Macdonald it "is the first truly desirable, affordable hybrid".

Zero-tolerance policy in Newquay continues
Posted: June 27, 2012|
Against a backdrop of glorious sunshine and masses of tourists on Newquay's beaches basking in the heat, police and officials were, not so long ago, trying to pacify the fury of its full-time residents.
The summer of 2009 was blighted by the deaths of teenagers Paddy Higgins, from Berkshire, and Andrew Curwell, from Manchester, who plunged to their deaths after drink-fuelled nights out in the Cornish resort.
And while many of the holidaymakers baked on the golden sands or lurched from bar to bar, efforts were being made to clean up the town's image as a haven for drunken revelry and young visitors with a penchant for disorder.
Fast forward three years and, while the enticing weather of 2009's summer season seems a dim and distant memory, the heat of hostility and hedonism has also moved behind a cloud.
Much of the success has been due to the work of the residents, businesses and authorities through the Newquay Safe partnership, established in the wake of the double tragedy to clamp down on under-age drinking, disorder and premises which advertise drinks promotions.
Organisers behind the multi-agency approach have reiterated a zero-tolerance ahead of this summer's campaign.
Newquay's Inspector Ian Drummond-Smith vowed to continue the crackdown on disorder. He said: "Newquay is a great place to visit and we will do our best to keep it safe for families and revellers alike.
"We won't be tolerating disorder in the streets or pubs and rude inflatables or mankinis [skimpy male swimwear] aren't welcome in town.
"The campaign will be supported by a new network of ID scanners in six pubs and clubs which not only check for forged ID, but also share data on banned persons, ensuring that people banned by one pub are banned from the others."
Last summer's original campaign saw 104 people banned from the town centre. In a crackdown on rogue pubs and clubs in conjunction with Cornwall Council's environmental health team, six premises were subject to licence reviews as a result of which two pubs and one lap-dancing club were shut.
Reports of anti-social behaviour and criminal damage fell by 30% and 9% respectively compared with 2010.
Extra police officers will also be drafted in from the end of June until September.

Senior Party and State Officials Join Working People Enjoying May Day
| Pyongyang, May 1 (KCNA) -- Leading officials of the Workers' Party of Korea and the state Tuesday joined working people in different parts of the country in marking the 122nd May Day.
Among them were Choe Yong Rim, Kim Ki Nam, Choe Thae Bok, Yang Hyong Sop, Kang Sok Ju, Mun Kyong Dok, Ro Tu Chol and officials of the cabinet, working people's organizations, ministries, national institutions, local party and power bodies. They went to the Sangwon Cement Complex, Pyongyang 326 Electric Wire Factory, Pyongyang Thermal Power Plant, Taean Heavy Machine Complex, Chollima Steel Complex, Namhung Youth Chemical Complex, Chongsan Co-op Farm in Kangso District and other institutions, factories, enterprises and farms to congratulate workers, agricultural workers and intellectuals on the holiday.
They laid floral baskets and bouquets before the statues of President Kim Il Sung and his smiling portraits and mosaics depicting Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il.
Touring the revolutionary museums, rooms devoted to the history of relevant units and other places they recalled the revolutionary careers and devoted efforts by the peerlessly great persons of Mt. Paektu.
The senior officials felt once again that the Korean working people could discharge their missions and duties as master of the country and the revolution thanks to Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il.
They met and conversed with innovators and encouraged them to bring about fresh success in their work.
Together with working people they played colorful sports and amusement games including tug of war, chess and Yut games and enjoyed art performances.
They requested all the working people to become heroes of the times and performers of feats in the worthwhile struggle for fresh victory of the Juche revolution under the leadership of the dear respected Kim Jong Un.

Make a Gift of Your Anheuser-Busch Stock to Fontbonne!
Are you a shareholder of Anheuser-Busch stock? As a friend of Fontbonne University, you may want to consider using your Anheuser-Busch stock, prior to the completion of the sale to In-Bev, for your next gift. The stock has appreciated in value significantly in connection with recent events. Gifts of appreciated stock are valued, for charitable deduction purposes, as of the date of the gift, not the cost at which the donor acquired the stock.
The first option would be an outright gift of your A-B stock. A second option is to use your A-B stock to fund a charitable gift annuity to receive these same benefits plus quarterly income for life – age and minimum gift amount restrictions apply.
As with all tax planning gifts, we recommend that you consult your tax adviser regarding your intended gift of A-B stock. IRS guidelines apply to making such a gift. Ask your advisor about the importance of the timing of the gift and the opportunity to receive a tax deduction for the full value of your appreciated stock while avoiding capital gains taxes.
We recognize that our alumni and friends who are A-B shareholders may have emotional and generational ties to Anheuser-Busch. Thank you for considering this special way to honor that legacy while supporting Fontbonne University!
Gifts of Stock, Mutual Funds and Other Securities
You can enjoy multiple benefits when you make a gift of stock, mutual funds or other securities to Fontbonne University. If you bought a stock years ago and it has grown in value you can incur a capital gains tax if you sell it. If you give it outright to Fontbonne, you pay no capital gains tax and you receive the full value of the securities at the time you make your gift. Upon receipt of your gift, Fontbonne sells the securities and uses the proceeds to fund current immediate needs or uses the proceeds for the purpose you designate, such as annual scholarship support. Fontbonne pays no tax on the sale because the University is a tax-exempt organization. Securities can make a wonderful gift for a bequest, charitable gift annuity or other type of planned gift arrangement.
Ways to Make a Gift of Securities to Fontbonne University
There are several ways to make gifts of stock, mutual funds and other securities to Fontbonne University.
Electronic Transfer of Stock
If your broker, bank, or financial services company holds the securities you wish to give to Fontbonne, simply notify your broker, trustee officer or other person responsible that you wish to make a gift of such securities to Fontbonne University. Your broker will give you instructions about providing official authorization for such a transfer to Fontbonne. Please ask your broker to call Fontbonne University's development office, at (314) 889-1408 for complete transfer instructions.
You should then notify Fontbonne University's development office that you are making a gift of securities (describing the number of shares or units, the name(s) of the stock(s), your broker's name and phone number, and the purpose for which you wish to designate your gift.
Fontbonne will notify you when the transfer is complete and we will advise you of the value of your gift.
Transfer of Stock by Mail
If you hold your own stock certificates and wish to make a stock gift, you should send your unendorsed stock certificate(s) by registered mail to:
Institutional Advancement
Fontbonne University
6800 Wydown Boulevard
St. Louis, MO 63105
In a separate envelope, by regular mail, please send:
- A signed stock power form for each stock certificate being mailed. The signature should be exactly as it appears on the stock certificate. Provide only your signature on each stock power.
- A brief note identifying yourself (name, address, phone number) and describing the name(s) of the stock(s), the number of shares you are gifing to Fontbonne, and your intended purpose for your gift.
Mail both envelopes at the same time. The postmarks determine the "date of the gift."
Fontbonne University will notify you when the envelopes have been received and the value of your gift has been determined.
Transfer of Stock in Person
Bring your unendorsed stock certificate(s) to:
Institutional Advancement
Fontbonne University
6800 Wydown Boulevard, Ryan Hall, Rm. 205
St. Louis, MO 63105
One or more stock power forms will be provided for your signature as well as a receipt acknowledging your gift and its purpose.
Gift of Mutual Funds
A gift of appreciated mutual funds, held by you longer than one year, can also make a wonderful gift to Fontbonne University. Most often, the mutual fund company must transfer the mutual fund shares. You should contact your mutual fund company to receive proper instructions on how to make a gift of mutual funds to Fontbonne University. A gift of mutual funds can take much longer to complete than a gift of stock.
For any questions about a gift of stock, mutual funds or any other securities to Fontbonne University, please contact:
Institutional Advancement at (314) 889-1408.

"It's brand new. They show Japanese anime up on the wall in the dining room, and it's all sort of mismatched lights and brick walls and trees inside, and it's feels very Japanese to me—I was actually just in Tokyo so I can say that with a little bit of authority. I went in the other day and had a Pappy Van Winkle on the rocks, and it came with one giant spherical ice cube. The food is a slightly Americanized interpretation of yakitori, and it's really well done."

2657 N Kedzie Ave, (773) 276-7110; longmanandeagle.com
"For me it's a really true expression of what a gastropub is supposed to be. One of the partners, Robert McAdams, designed and built the rooms up above. They're kind of Ace-Hotel-y, but a little nicer. The food is pretty spot-on and they have very good drinks, and good whiskey. Chicago doesn't have a lot of boutique hotels presently, and this is like an ultra-boutique hotel—it's more like a guesthouse."

2537 N Kedzie Blvd, (773) 489-9554; lulacafe.com
"Go there for brunch. It's the epitome of a neighborhood restaurant. The chef's name is Jason Hamel, and he's just a really smart, really righteous guy. He really contributes to the community and is a huge supporter of local and seasonal and sustainable and all the things that are important to me. On Monday nights, Lula does a three- or four-course farm dinner, and it's always super well-prepared and laidback."

4. Danny's for Soul Night
1951 W Dickens Ave, (773) 489-6457
"Soul Night's the first Wednesday of every month. The DJ plays his immense collection of rare soul 45s, and the place is as crowded as it can be and everyone is gyrating and dancing and it's stuff you've never heard before that's completely off the hook. Danny's is a great bar as it is, but Soul Night's something pretty special."

5. Reckless Records
1532 N Milwaukee Ave, (773) 235-3727; reckless.com
"Reckless is a stop-in-every-week record store. They get so much volume of used stuff, sweeping all genres. I'd been looking for years for this album called Subway Joe from a New York Latin soul guy from the late '60s named Joe Bataan, and I finally found a copy there. They also carry everything that's new, so if Radiohead comes out with an album, they get it in on vinyl, which is a plus for me because I like to buy records."

6. Rainbo Club
1150 N Damen Ave, (773) 489-5999
"My business partner Terry Alexander and I both love no-nonsense bars—rock bars, old-man bars, bars that play great music and might or might not have good beer. The Rainbo is in Wicker Park and during prohibition it was a speakeasy. It's got a square bar, so anywhere you're sitting you can see the whole room. A lot of the guys that work there are musicians, so they bartend and they play great records. Terry and I have a Top 10 Bars in America list and the Rainbo Club is on there."
7. Birrieria Reyes de Ocotlan

"Chicago has a huge Mexican population, and 18th St. is where it all is. The goat tacos here are incredible, and there's nothing fancy about it other than that the food is great. You can walk around and go to a carnitas place, you can go to a taqueria, carniceria, everything. It's very alive; it's a beautiful neighborhood."

8. Great Lake
1477 W Balmoral Ave, (773) 334-9270
"It's a husband and wife—he makes the pizza and she makes the salad. It's on a little side street, and I think it's 12 seats. It's named after a song by Joe Henry, an incredible musician. I heard the other night that Jay-Z and Beyoncé were in Chicago and they ate at Great Lake, but there was no room, so they had to wait. They weren't like, 'Oh my God, Jay-Z, we gotta seat ya!' They had to go to a restaurant next door like normal people. Pretty amazing I think. They use all local, seasonal, and organic ingredients, and it's a super thin crust, with amazing big bubbles, that's chewy. For me, it's the best pizza I've ever had."

9. Green Mill
4802 N Broadway St, (773) 878-5552; greenmilljazz.com
"The lore is that there's an underground tunnel from the Green Mill that goes to the lake, where they used to bring in booze during prohibition. The Green Mill's a jazz club, and it's been in a million movies. You can go in there a couple hours before the sun comes up and it's completely packed with humanity—black people, white people, brown people, green people, everything. Everyone's happy and everyone's drunk, and at that time there's usually an organ guy playing. It's the go-to when it's really late and you just want to be in the thick of it."

1052 W Fulton Market, (312) 432-0100; morlensinoway.com
"If you need new furniture or pottery or rugs, you go to him and you look through catalogues and pick stuff out. Some of the design places you go in and they're snooty, and you just don't feel like you can get anything accomplished, but these guys are down-to-earth and helpful. He does this thing every year where he gets 15 semi-truck trailers and they park out on Fulton Market and local designers show off their wares inside the trucks."

11. Perman Wine Selections
802 W Washington Blvd, (312) 666-4417; permanwine.com
"A little storefront wine shop. He gets great stuff from France, Italy, Austria, and the big wineries. It's no-nonsense, it's user-friendly, and the wines are handpicked. You can call him and say, 'Craig, I need a case of rosé, 10 bucks a bottle, I'll come by in an hour to pick it up.'"

12. Blake
212 W Chicago Ave, (312) 202-0047
"It's women's designer clothing, and it's run by a couple that finds a lot of stuff in Belgium like Dries Van Noten. The people are amazingly helpful. I don't really splurge on anything, but I do a lot of shopping for my wife there. I use a company credit card that my wife never sees, or I buy stuff in cash, so she doesn't know how much money I'm actually spending, because she'd have a heart attack. It's top-secret."

Junior is a Schnauzer that was abandoned in the country. He was in really bad shape but is now happy and healthy, and ready for a family. He is sweet, well-behaved and housetrained. He will require some grooming but is low-maintenance other than that.
Donnie & Marie are senior Cocker Spaniels that were dumped in the country as well. They were very matted and neglected but are now clean and happy. They need to be adopted together, because they are best buds. They are pretty laid back and would be great for a senior who is looking to adopt as well!

A Song to Sing, a Life to Live Reflections on Music As Spiritual Practice (Paperback)
|Author: Don E./ Saliers Saliers
Learn more about A Song to Sing, a Life to Live:
|Praise for "A Song to Sing, A Life to Live"
"Pull up a chair and sit in the family room as these two share the places where their views on music connect and diverge, demonstrating how to 'make musical judgments, but not in a judgmental manner.' Musicians, music-lovers and indeed all those devoted to the 'spirituality of daily life' will be inspired."
"I found warmth, wisdom, and love to be present on every page of this book. Emily and her father, Don, have found a way to have a deeply meaningful conversation about their life experiences and share it with the reader. The result is this beautiful expression of music as many things— healer, gift, symbol of freedom and community, and agent of change."
"Emily and her dad have created a beautiful celebration of how music and spirit connect us all."
"In this sweetheart of a book, Don and Emily Saliers do far more than write convincingly about the healing power of music. They show us how it works by letting their own love of 'deep song' lead them across generational, aesthetic, and religious differences into a place of such holy listening to one another that even the angels lay down their tambourines."
Visit www.practicingourfaith.org for information and resources on the Practices of Faith book series
From the Publisher:
In this rich exploration of music, authors Don and Emily Saliers interweave their own stories as well as those of others to reflect on the what, the how, and the why of music as a key aspect of spirituality in our lives. As an Indigo Girl, folk-rock singer-songwriter, Emily performs in primarily secular settings, while her father, Don - composer, cantor, and church musician - writes and arranges for church congregations. Their audiences may differ but both father and daughter understand the profound spirituality of music and have personally witnessed how their music brings healing to people no matter what the setting or circumstance. A Song to Sing, A Life to Live bridges two generations, two approaches to spirituality, and two genres of music - the music of Saturday night and Sunday morning. Don and Emily Saliers reflect on such topics as music and justice, music and grief, music and delight, and music and hope. They open the way for those who seek to embrace new spiritual practices by creating music, sharing music, and developing their musical skills as a spiritual practice.|

Humboldt State University President, Rollin Richmond, announced his retirement on Wednesday at a California State University Board of Trustee meeting in Long Beach.
"My wife and I are looking forward to spending more time together and also have the opportunity to spend more time with our grandchildren," said Richmond when he spoke to News Channel 3 on the phone Wednesday afternoon.
Richmond will remain in his position until the end of the academic year. He has been serving in the position since 2002 as the sixth president of the University.
Richmond said the Chancellor's office and the Board of Trustees will be able to search for his replacement until he steps down in 2014.
While Richmond has served as President he has overseen several new buildings added to the campus, faced budget cuts, increased tuition and enrolment.
Provost and Vice President of Student Affairs, Robert Snyder, said Richmond has been able to fulfill his vision for the university.
"He wanted to emphasize student research on campus and he wanted to build the campus reputation and stature so we could continue to attract a large amount of students," said Snyder.
Snyder said it is important for the new President to maintain a good relationship with the community, increase diversity and increase student enrollment.
University Senate Vice Chair, Mary Virnoche, said Richmond has done a good job at listening to faculties concerns on campus. She said the University Senate will encourage the board to include them in the search for his replacement.
"In terms of expressing who we are as a campus and what we see ourselves becoming," said Virnoche.
The CSU Board of Trustee's will make the final decision over who takes the position and are expected to visit the campus of Humboldt State next month.
