Tasks are the most basic building blocks of any project — tasks represent the work to be done to accomplish the goals of the project. Tasks describe project work in terms of sequence, duration, and resource requirements. There are two levels of tasks — summary tasks, which summarize or "roll up" the durations and costs of tasks, and subtasks — that together comprise the significant events in the life of a project. This article provides an introduction to some key concepts about tasks that will help you use Microsoft Office Project 2007.
Enter tasks
Project 2007 can be used to track tasks related to a project you are managing. To enter tasks for a project, begin by starting Project 2007 if it's not already running. After opening the project you're working on, type your first task in the cell directly below the Task Name column heading, and then press ENTER.
For example, if you are using Project 2007 to track the tasks required for a video project, you might begin by entering Pre-Production in the first cell. Next, enter the remaining tasks below the task name, pressing ENTER after each task name:
Develop script
Develop production boards
Pick locations
Hold auditions
Shoot video
Log footage
Project 2007 assigns a duration of one day to the new task, and the question mark indicates that this is an estimated duration. A corresponding task bar of one day's length appears in the Gantt Chart. By default, the task start date is the same as the project start date.
Tip: In addition to typing task information directly into Project 2007, you can develop task lists in other applications and then import them into Project 2007. For example, Project 2007 installs an Excel template named Microsoft Project Task List Import Template, which you or others can complete and then import into Project 2007 with the proper structure. In Excel, this template appears on the Spreadsheet Solutions tab of the Templates dialog box. You can also import your Outlook task list into a project plan. In Project 2007, on the Tools menu, click Import Outlook Tasks.
Define the right tasks for the right deliverable
Every project has an ultimate goal or intent: the reason that the project was started. This is called the project deliverable. This deliverable is usually a product, such as a TV commercial, or a service or event, such as a software training session. Defining the right tasks to create the right deliverable is an essential skill for a project manager. The task lists you create in Project 2007 should describe all of the work required, and only the work required, to complete the project successfully.
In developing your task lists, you might find it helpful to distinguish product scope from project scope. Product scope describes the quality, features, and functions of the deliverable of the project. For example, if the deliverable is a TV commercial, the product scope might include its length, subject, and audience. Project scope, on the other hand, describes the work required to deliver such a product or service. In our scenario, the project scope includes detailed tasks relating to the creation of a TV commercial such as holding auditions, shooting the video, editing it, and so on.
Estimate durations
A task's duration is the amount of time you expect it will take to complete the task. Project 2007 can work with task durations that range from minutes to months. Depending on the scope of your project, you'll probably want to work with task durations on the scale of hours, days, and weeks.
For example, a project might have a project calendar with working time defined as 8 A.M. through 5 P.M. with a one-hour lunch break Monday through Friday, leaving nonworking time defined as evenings and weekends. If you estimate that a task will take 16 hours of working time, you could enter its duration as 2d to schedule work over two eight-hour workdays. By starting the task at 8 A.M. on a Friday, you should then expect that it wouldn't be completed until 5 P.M. on the following Monday. No work would be scheduled over the weekend because Saturday and Sunday have been defined as nonworking time.
Tip: You determine the overall duration of a project by calculating the difference between the earliest start date and the latest finish date of the tasks that compose it. The project duration is also affected by other factors, such as task relationships. Because Project 2007 distinguishes between working and nonworking time, a task's duration doesn't necessarily correlate to elapsed time.
Tip: You can schedule tasks to occur during working and nonworking time. To do this, assign an elapsed duration to a task. You enter elapsed duration by preceding the duration abbreviation with an e. For example, type 3ed to indicate three elapsed days. You might use an elapsed duration for a task that you don't directly control but that nonetheless is critical to your project. For instance, you might have the tasks Pour foundation concrete and Remove foundation forms in a construction project. If so, you might also want a task called Wait for concrete to cure because you don't want to remove the forms until the concrete has cured. The task Wait for concrete to cure should have an elapsed duration because the concrete will cure over a contiguous range of days, whether they are working or nonworking days. If the concrete takes 48 hours to cure, you can enter the duration for that task as 2ed, schedule the task to start on Friday at 9 A.M., and expect it to be complete by Sunday at 9 A.M. In most cases, however, you'll work with nonelapsed durations in Project 2007.
Project 2007 uses standard values for minutes and hours for durations: one minute equals 60 seconds, and one hour equals 60 minutes. However, you can define nonstandard durations for days, weeks, and months for your project. To do this, on the Tools menu, click the Options command, and in the Options dialog box, click the Calendar tab, illustrated here.
How do you come up with accurate task durations?
You should consider two general rules when estimating task durations.
Overall project duration often correlates to task duration; long projects tend to have tasks with longer durations than do tasks in short projects.
If you track progress against your project plan, you must consider the level of detail you want to apply to your project's tasks. If you have a multi-year project, for example, it might not be practical or even possible to track tasks that are measured in minutes or hours. In general, you should measure task durations at the lowest level of detail or control that is important to you, but no lower.
For your real-world projects, you will often estimate task durations. Good sources of task duration estimates include:
Historical information from previous, similar projects.
Estimates from the people who will complete the tasks.
Expert judgment of those who have managed similar projects.
Standards of professional or industrial organizations that undertake projects similar to yours.
For complex projects, you probably would combine these and other sources to estimate task durations. Because inaccurate task duration estimates are a major source of risk in any project, making good estimates is well worth the effort expended.
One general rule of thumb to consider is called the 8/80 rule. This rule suggests that task durations between eight hours (or one day) and 80 hours (10 working days, or two weeks) are generally sized to a manageable duration. Tasks shorter than one day might be too granular, and tasks longer than two weeks might be too long to manage properly. There are many legitimate reasons to break this rule, but its guidelines are worth considering for most tasks in your projects.
Organize tasks into phases
It is helpful to organize groups of closely related tasks that represent a major portion of the project's work into phases. When reviewing a project plan, observing phases of tasks helps you and others to think in terms of major work items and detailed work items. For example, it is common to divide a film or video project into major phases of work such as pre-production, production, and post-production. You create phases by indenting and outdenting tasks. You can also collapse a task list into phases, much as you can work with an outline in Word. In Project 2007, phases are represented by summary tasks.
A summary task behaves differently from other tasks. You can't edit its duration, start date, or other calculated values directly because this information is derived or "rolled up" from the detail tasks, called subtasks (these appear indented under the summary tasks). Project 2007 calculates the duration of a summary task as the span of time from the earliest start date to the latest finish date of its subtasks.
Top-down and bottom-up planning
The two most common approaches to developing tasks and phases are top-down and bottom-up planning.
Top-down planning. Identifies major phases or products of the project before filling in the tasks required to complete those phases. Complex projects can have several layers of phases. This approach works from general to specific.
Bottom-up planning. Identifies as many bottom-level detailed tasks as possible before organizing them into logical groups, called phases or summary tasks. This approach works from specific to general.
Creating accurate tasks and phases for most complex projects requires a combination of top-down and bottom-up planning. It is common for the project manager to begin with established, broad phases for a project (top-down) and for the resources who will execute the project to provide the detailed tasks that fill out each phase (bottom-up).
Link tasks
Projects require tasks to be performed in a specific order. For example, the task of filming a scene must be completed before the task of editing the filmed scene can occur. These two tasks have a finish-to-start relationship (also called a link or dependency) that has two aspects:
The second task must occur later than the first task; this is a sequence.
The second task can occur only if the first task is completed; this is a dependency.
In Project 2007, the first task ("film the scene") is called the predecessor because it precedes tasks that depend on it. The second task ("edit the filmed scene") is called the successor because it succeeds tasks on which it is dependent. Any task can be a predecessor for one or more successor tasks. Likewise, any task can be a successor to one or more predecessor tasks.
Representing task relationships and handling changes to scheduled start and finish dates is one area in which the use of a scheduling engine, such as Project 2007, really pays off. For example, you can change task durations or add or remove tasks from a chain of linked tasks, and Project 2007 will reschedule tasks accordingly.
Task relationships appear in several ways in Project 2007:
In the Gantt Chart and Network Diagram views, task relationships appear as the lines connecting tasks.
In tables, such as the Entry table, task ID numbers of predecessor tasks appear in the Predecessor fields of successor tasks.
You create task relationships by creating links between tasks. When tasks are first entered, by default they are all scheduled to start on the same day — the project start date. However, you can use different methods to create links between several tasks. For example, you can create a finish-to-start dependence between two tasks by clicking Link Tasks on the Edit menu.
Tip: To create a finish-to-start dependency, you can click the Link Tasks button on the Standard toolbar.
The figure below shows that when Tasks 2 and 3 are linked with a finish-to-start relationship, Project 2007 changed the start date of task 3 to the next working day following the completion of task 2 (skipping over the weekend). The duration of the Pre-Production summary task grew correspondingly.
Tip: To unlink tasks, select the tasks you want to unlink, and then click the Unlink Tasks button on the Standard toolbar. You can also click Unlink Tasks on the Edit menu. If you unlink a single task that is within a chain of linked tasks with finish-to-start relationships, Project 2007 reestablishes links between the remaining tasks.
You can link tasks in several other ways including:
Link several tasks at once
Link two tasks in which one task is the predecessor of the other task
Link a group of remaining tasks and then link two summary tasks
Tip: When working with summary tasks, you can either link summary tasks directly (as you did above) or link the latest task in the first phase with the earliest task in the second phase. The scheduling end result is the same in either situation. Under no circumstances, however, can you link a summary task to one of its own subtasks. Doing so would create a circular scheduling problem, and therefore Project 2007 doesn't allow it.
Tip: You can also create a finish-to-start relationship between tasks right in the Gantt Chart. Point to the task bar of the predecessor task until the pointer changes to a four-pointed star. Then, drag the mouse pointer up or down to the task bar of the successor task. While you're dragging the mouse pointer to create a task relationship, the pointer image changes to a chain link.

WASHINGTON (Circa) -- Andre Ingram has always loved the game of basketball.
"When I was young just like any other kid you just fall in love with the sport. You're enjoying the sport, it's fun. Your friends are playing, there's nothing on the line," Ingram told Circa in an interview.
The Richmond native excelled in the sport and played college basketball for his alma mater American University. He was able to start his professional career after graduating in 2007 with the Utah Flash. The team played in the G-League, the NBA's version of the minor leagues.
The goal for many players in the G-League is to eventually advance to the NBA. Ingram recalled days when he would constantly pay attention to the box score and his stats as basketball became less of a hobby and more of a business endeavor. But as Ingram's career continued to progress, he never got the call to join an NBA roster.
His previous fate changed in April after the Los Angeles Lakers surprised him and called him up to play in the last two games of the season. Ingram would become the oldest NBA rookie at the age of 32 and finally would get an opportunity to play in the big leagues after waiting for 10 years. Ingram describes the moment he played his first NBA game ever as "electric."
"You just feel the electricity of the crowd and it just gets you in that feeling where like you wanna go, you wanna do it," Ingram said. "You're nervous of course. It's your first NBA game, it's your dream. You're nervous but it's like man, I'm nervous and let me see if I can do it, let me see if I can do it."
Ingram says he continued to push himself to attempt to get into the NBA because of the love he has for the sport. He hopes anyone who hears his story is encouraged to never give up on their dreams.
"It's gonna come a time where you want to go the other way or do something else. I just believe that there is something that will be waiting to pull you back in. My advice is listen to that," Ingram said.
The story got even better for Ingram as he surprised fans all over the world who were watching. He scored 19 points in his debut game. In Lakers history, only Magic Johnson, Nick Van Exel and Jerry West scored more in their first game, according to ESPN.
He also scored more points in his first game than other NBA all-stars such as Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant.
Ingram was the G-League's best three point shooter and in his first game, he was able to transfer those skills and score four three pointers throughout the game against the league's best team (records wise) - the Houston Rockets.
The Lakers shooting guard is a restricted free agent. He is waiting for the team to make decisions on free agency during the off-season but is hopeful he will get a call back once again. The Lakers are in contention to acquire free agents such as Paul George and LeBron James.
James was one of the many people who shouted him out on social media after Ingram shocked the world with his performance. Ingram didn't realize how much reach his story had.
"My wife and I share a Facebook account. We don't have any Twitter, we don't have any Instagram, we don't have anything else," Ingram told Circa. "We were unaware of how many people knew of the story, how many people were touched by it, how far it had gotten out. We just didn't know. But obviously we have family and my brother and my niece kept us up to date when LeBron said this or Kevin Hart said this or Fabulous said this.....it's crazy man, I've just been so appreciative of the positive support."
Deadline reports Ingram is signed to Hollywood agency WME. His story of perseverance could be turned into a book or a movie. Ingram hopes to be able use his story in some type of way to inspire people.
"Friends and I used to say, 'who would you want to play you in a movie?' This is when I'm younger and everybody said Denzel (Washington). So when somebody asked me that, and this is years ago, I think I was probably in college or something I was like, well you know what - Derek Luke," Ingram said.

Man Gets Reunited With Dog After Five Years and Now We Are Crying a Little
When Mike got the call that his dog Bandit has been found, at first he thought it was a prank. He lost the shih tzu five years ago when it escaped through a hole in his fence and was then grabbed by an unknown man in a car.
When the Indiana man realized the folks from the pet rescue service Re-Tails were for real he rushed down to the shelter, which was about two towns over from were he lost Bandit.
Ten minutes later, the now-ten-year old pooch was in Mike's arms.
What Mike didn't know at the time was how close this reunion was to never happening. Bandit had been picked up in November as stray and had been staying at the New Castle Animal Shelter. The dog was scheduled to be put down when the shelter gave him to Re-Tails so they could take one final shot at finding his owner.
Re-Tails scanned the dog for a chip, even though that's something the shelter had already done as part of their procedure. For whatever reason the scan worked this time, and Mike's information came up.
Given the season, it all seems like a Christmas miracle for Mike and Bandit. It's also yet another reason why you should get your pets chipped. Watch the emotional reunion. High-five, humans!

The week before the draft generates a lot of talk, with one report sometimes appearing to contradict the one directly before it.
Earlier Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN identified the Dolphins as one of the teams in the top 12 of the first round making calls in an attempt to move down in the draft order. On Tuesday afternoon, Schefter identified two teams that have "shown some willingness" to move up in the draft. One is the Falcons and General Manager Thomas Dimitroff has already made it clear that he's willing to trade up for a player he likes.
The other? The Dolphins. We're not doubting Schefter's heard both things. He reports the team is "exploring both options," which makes all the sense in the world when you're more than 48 hours away from being on the clock.
It makes particular sense for the Dolphins. If they want to fill a need and land one of the top tackles, they'll likely need to move up to assure themselves of someone from the Luke Joeckel/Eric Fisher/Lane Johnson trio. If they don't want to do that, they may be targeting players they can get a bit later while adding more picks that can be used for players or other moves later in the draft.

We are one of the UK's top car tuners for Mitsubishi Evo's , Nissan skylines and Subaru Imprezza's. We want to really bring out the professionalisim of our business with a clean look and feel. We also want to do more than just tune cars now we want to sell aftermarket tuning parts through our website and shop. To do this we have a new website, which will incorporate an on line retail store.
Our audience is mixed. Its people who have just got there first performance car who really want to style it better and make it go faster. Its also people who are deeply into tuning cars, trying to get the last ounce of performance from them either for racing or rallying. But also more recently its for people with high end turbocharged cars like audi's etc to get more power from there vehicles. So a clean professional logo is needed to make us stand out from the rest. !
We need a hot modern dynamic logo which embodies speed and power. I dont want just the TRL initials on there own. It should be integrated with something like a car, flag, spedometer, rev counter etc.. It should work well with our new website colour schemes so silver grey, black, red and whites should all work. We are not restricted to these as long as it fits. This is our old website. http://www.theracingline.co.uk , this is our new website. http://www.trldevelopments.co.uk (currently work in progress !!). The logo will go where the word spare parts is in the top left hand corner.. NOTE PLEASE... The new name of the business it TRL Developments.. no designs will be considered with the old name The Racing Line Developments. There is plenty of space for the logo on our site, but please bear in mind the aspect ratio so that it fits :-)
The logo should be presented in various forms to us, including but not limited to Vector (ie eps and ai), we would also like a photoshop copy of the logo with any appropriate layers and a png file for use on various backgrounds. In addition if a font is used then we would like to know the font set so we can use it in some more of our graphics around the site at a later date. We may also use this logo for banners and other promotional material so please bear this in mind when designing.

We wouldn't have blamed you if you thought you had the wrong address if you stopped by Soho House on Tuesday night. The UK member's club's rooftop terrace was transformed into a chic rooftop garden party by British brand Mulberry to celebrated its spring '11 collection. Keeping in line with designer Emma Hill's "Secret Garden" inspiration, giant pink roses popped up all over the place and large, mod, white-lily pads covered the pool, almost begging to be walked across (we didn't!). Coupled with the sound of British accents coming from just about every mouth, we couldn't help feeling like we'd stepped out of the elevator and right into Vogue UK. It-Brits and their cross-Atlantic brethren commingled admirably—Alexa Chung, Caroline Murphy, Dree Hemingway, Jade Jagger, and Kelly Osbourne sipped Mulberry bellinis and noshed on mini burgers, fish and chips (natch!) and veggie quiches. Our favorite, however—the chocolate and Guinness cupcakes! DJ Dan Williams kept everyone dancing until Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine took the stage for an acoustic show that occurred so close to us that we were actually sharing sweat with the heavenly songstress. Don't worry, we've showered since then.

Frankenstorm Is Coming: Latest Updates and Some Helpful Tips
Frankenstorm—a nickname for the potential combination of current Category 1 Hurricane Sandy and other storm systems in the North Atlantic and over the continental United States—is almost here, and for much of the East Coast, that means it's time to get ready for lots and lots of rain, wind, snow and general meteorological mayhem.
Hurricane Sandy has been picking up steam for several days now, having walloped the Bahamas with 100-mile-per-hour winds Friday morning, killing 21 people across the Caribbean. It remains uncertain exactly when or where the storm will make landfall, though somewhere between Washington, D.C., and Boston seems most likely. As you can see from the National Weather Service image above, as many as 10 states seem likely to feel Sandy's effects by sometime early next week.
The effects of the storm, which will include a good amount of snow once it combines with a cold-weather front in the west, will not be over quickly, according to James Franklin of the National Hurricane Center."We expect a long-lasting event—two to three days for most people," Franklin said. "[It is] a very large system."
Some are even proposing that what we are seeing is very similar to the conditions that led to the "perfect storm" in the Atlantic Ocean almost exactly 21 years ago:
The chain of events that would make Hurricane Sandy develop into a grave threat to the coast involves a storm system known as a midlatitude trough that is moving across the country from the west. If the systems meet up, as many computer models predict, the storm over land could draw the hurricane in.
"Essentially, all of the major models are now showing some form of phasing event similar to the perfect storm occurring sometime next week," said William A. Komaromi, a graduate student at the University of Miami who posted an essay online on Thursday comparing Hurricane Sandy to the 1991 event.
Officials in coastal states and cities are already ramping up preparations and warning residents not to panic, but to get ready for what could be serious damage if their area is directly hit.
Here are some tips on how to deal with any potential power outages caused by the storm.

Split Elevations. Another type of side elevation is the split elevation. This is a view of the homes interior, drawn as if the house had been split in half down the middle or other indicated line. A layman might think of it as a "cutaway" view. Split elevations show details for interior height, floor thickness, wall thickness and stair rise. This is also where youll find interior door openings, fireplaces, kitchen cabinet placement, and the like.
House elevations are architectural drawings that show how a home will look from specific angles. Elevations are a key part of the way architects communicate their designs with clients and the contractors who will build the home. Like all architectural drawings, house elevations are drawn to scale, meaning that the length and thickness of each line directly corresponds with measurements of the finished home. 1/2 inch to 1 foot scale is common.

Undergraduate scholarships and graduate fellowships are forms of aid that help students pay for their education. Unlike student loans, scholarships and fellowships do not have to be repaid. Hundreds of thousands of scholarships and fellowships from several thousand sponsors are awarded each year to those who qualify.
Generally, scholarships and fellowships are reserved for students with special qualifications, such as academic, athletic or artistic talent. Awards are also available for students who are interested in particular fields of study, who are members of underrepresented groups, who live in certain areas of the country or who demonstrate financial need.
The best way to search for scholarships and fellowships is to use a personalized search, like the FastWeb scholarship search, that compares your background with a database of awards. Only those awards that fit your profile are identified as matches.
There are several free scholarship databases available online. With more than 1.5 million scholarships worth more than $3.4 billion, the FastWeb scholarship search is the largest, most accurate and most frequently updated scholarship database. If you supply an email address, they will notify you when new awards that match your profile are added to the database. You can even submit an electronic application to some of the scholarships listed in the FastWeb scholarship database, saving you time and money. FastWeb also includes a college search and numerous other student resources.
In addition to the FastWeb scholarship search, you may want to search one of the other free scholarship search sites. It doesn't take much time to search and it's free. To find small local awards that aren't listed in any book or database, look for notices posted on bulletin boards at your school's guidance office, the public library and outside the financial aid office at nearby colleges and universities.
College alumni and other private scholarship sponsors occasionally establish scholarships with esoteric eligibility requirements, such as a scholarship for left-handed students. Although there aren't many of these unusual scholarships, they often attract a lot of attention because of their slightly offbeat nature.
The most prestigious scholarships and fellowships also attract a lot of attention because they are among the most lucrative and competitive awards. Many colleges also offer full tuition academic scholarships.
Average students often ask whether there are any scholarships available to students who don't have a 4.0 GPA. There are many scholarships for average students that focus on qualities besides academic merit. There are also many community service scholarships.
Most scholarship search sites do not allow children under age 13 to register because of the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA). Unfortunately, this prevents parents from finding out about scholarships for students under age 13. FinAid has compiled a comprehensive list of college scholarships for students under age 13 and in grades K-8.
Don't waste your money on fee-based scholarship matching services. You won't get any better information than you can get from the free services available on the Web.
Once you've identified the scholarships for which you are eligible, FinAid has many good suggestions on how to maximize your chances of winning a scholarship.
Scholarships that sound too good to be true usually are. Learn how to recognize and protect yourself from the most common scholarship scams. The number one tip: If you have to pay money to get money, it's probably a scam.
It is important to ask the school's financial aid office about its outside scholarship policy, since this can affect how much you benefit from winning a scholarship if you are receiving need-based student aid.
A portion of your scholarship might be taxable. Usually amounts used for tuition and required fees are tax-free, but you should review the rules to ensure that you report the scholarship correctly.

[Intro: DJ Drama]
Y'all niggas really thought we wasn't gonna do it again?
Come on man, grand Hustle nigga, you know what it is
T.I.P, DJ the fuck Drama, Young Dro, Young Buck
I said P-$-C-what's-happenin'-nigga
[Verse 1: T.I.]
Yo Khao!
I'm a pimp type, nigga ridin' clean after midnight
Ready for the gun play, prepared for a fist fight
Roll up on yo bitch and ask her what that pussy hit like
First she acting funny, in a minute she gon' get right
Get down, got her fuckin' with another bitch now
I'm king of all that I survey, remember this is T.I.P. town
Hey, you ain't ready? pussy nigga better sit it down
We Mac-90, rock steady nigga spit rounds
Turn yo stomach to spaghetti when it hit the ground
Toss the choppers in the Chevy, then we mashing down Campbellton counting all your Benjamins and Hamiltons
As far I'm concerned you just a job for the janitors
Don't disregard I'mma God you a amateur
Hide behind ya bodyguards and ya manager
I pimp hard throughout all the pages in the calendar
Bitch it's Pimp Squad: all action no cameras
[Hook x 2: ALL]
You know what it is, you know what it do
And you know what it is, and you know what it do
You know what it is, you know what it do
And you know what it is, and you know what it do
Shorty we bury niggas, shorty we bury niggas
Shorty we bury niggas, shorty we bury niggas
The undertaker
[Verse 2: Young Dro]
Hey, stand in on the trap with me
Mention me is blasphemy, 1000 round magazine
My partnas say no attackin' me
I'm aged to the average beef, respiratory crushin beats
Fruit Chevy H.I.C, my lyrics hit like HIV
Spray by me, Sniper Dro, murder come today by me
Bullet chip yo L I P and dirty all yo H I Ps
Shot both of yo homies, now they feedin' them through a I.V
The tray I be from the west side, where they say I be
May I be the ruler over all that I survey I be
Laid back, yay's black, triple kiwi Maybach
Weed match the Benz, kush triple kiwi 80 pack
Old school baby crack. I'm tryin' to bring the 80's back
Haitians get me Haiti crack, plus my momma hated crack
'Til we got a evicted and I came through with them 80 stacks
Play it back, rewind where I live

[Hook x 2]
[Verse 3: Young Buck]
May we all bow our heads and pray for this nigga
The undertaker's comin' any day for this nigga
They hate him in the hood, for the dreams he been sellin'
I read the paperwork and it seems you was tellin'
You know what it is and you know who I'm talkin' bout
When the feds came, I didn't open up my mouth
What you scared fo'? niggas know you been a ho
It's like....homey shit was all good just a week ago
Get the goons ready, start up your vehicle
And shoot at any fuckin' car you ain't seen before
Pick up the shells if ya use a automatic
They gave 50 years to my nigga Lil' Travis
Set a booby-trap, let him trip over the wires
Then he gon' be laying....right by the preacher and the choir
And if u catch him 'fore I do, T.I. go and handle yo biz
When you see me holla at me homie, you know what it is

Aeropress Coffee Maker
Single Serving Coffee - Best You've Ever Had
- Single serving coffee maker for coffee snobs
- Don't trust your office coffee maker - use your own
- Comes with a year's supply of micro-filters
Coffee - considered by many the quintessential caffeine delivery system in the world. Those luscious little beans have been cultivated on every continent except Antarctica. However, many people don't like coffee due to some of the bitter compounds present in the brew.
Compounds such as chlorogenic acids, trigonelline, furfuryl alcohol, and even caffeine itself lend bitter flavors to a pot of fresh coffee. Fans of the drink have been trying for centuries to find the best way to extract all the flavor and aroma from coffee, while extracting only a balanced amount of bitterness.
Aerobie, the folks that make those wonderful flying rings, created a way to brew a single cup of the most flavorful and yet least bitter coffee you've ever tasted. Coffee snobs around the world have enjoyed the Aeropress coffee maker, and have compared the brew it makes to brews made with $6000 Clover coffee machines!
Here's how you do it:
- Place a filter on the bottom of the Aeropress
- Place the Aeropress on top of your favorite coffee mug
- Put a measured scoop of coffee into the brewing chamber
- Pour hot water into the brewing chamber
- Using the included stirrer, mix the coffee and water
- Wait twenty seconds, and place the plunger on top of the brewing chamber
- Push down gently on the plunger
- When the plunger reaches the bottom, pop out the puck of coffee grounds into the garbage
- ***
- Profit! Enjoy your perfect cup of coffee!
Portable, easy to use, and easy to clean. Who knew a toy company could make such a great coffee pot?
- Aeropress plunger
- Funnel for coffee grounds
- Coffee scoop
- Coffee stirrer
- A year's supply of micro-filters

Change nameservers to set up Office 365 with DNSMadeEasy
Check the Domains FAQ if you don't find what you're looking for.
With the exception of the first one, the procedures in this article must be performed at the domain registrar where you purchased your domain. This is because DNSMadeEasy is not a domain registrar, and you must manage nameservers at your domain registrar's site.
Use the procedures in this article to add and set up your domain in Office 365 so that your services like email and Skype for Business Online will use your own domain name. To do this, you'll verify your domain, and then change your domain's name servers to Office 365 so that the correct DNS records can be set up for you.
Follow these procedures if at least one of the following three statements describes your situation:
You have your own domain and want to set it up to work with Office 365.
You want Office 365 to manage your DNS records for you. (If you prefer, you can manage your own DNS records.)
Your domain is hosted at a DNS hosting provider or domain registrar that is not listed in the article How to buy a domain name.
Delete your DNSMadeEasy domain
When you signed up for DNSMadeEasy, you added a domain by using the Add Domains process.
The domain that you added was purchased from a separate domain registrar; DNSMadeEasy does not offer domain registration services. To verify and redelegate your domain to Office 365, you first need to remove that domain from your DNSMadeEasy Domains list.
After you remove your domain from DNSMadeEasy, you will perform additional steps at the domain registrar where you purchased your domain.
To get started, go to your domains page at DNSMadeEasy by using this link. You'll be prompted to log in first.
On the Management Console page, in the Recently Updated Domains area, choose the domain that you want to update.
On the Management Console page, in the Recently Updated Domains area, choose the domain that you want to update.
Choose Delete Domain.
In the text box in the confirmation dialog box, type the following word:
The word must be typed in capital letters only , as shown.
Still in the confirmation dialog box, choose Submit.
Add a TXT or MX record for verification
You must perform this procedure at the domain registrar where you purchased and registered your domain.
You will create only one record in this procedure, either a TXT record or an MX record. TXT is the preferred record type, but some DNS hosting providers don't support that type, in which case you can create an MX record instead.
Before you use your domain with Office 365, we have to make sure that you own it. Your ability to log in to your account at your domain registrar and create the DNS record proves to Office 365 that you own the domain.
This record is used only to verify that you own your domain; it doesn't affect anything else. You can delete it later, if you like.
Find the area on your DNS hosting provider's website where you can create a new record
Sign in to your DNS hosting provider's website.
Choose your domain.
Find the page where you can edit DNS records for your domain.
Create the record
- If you create a TXT record, use these values:
|Record Type
|Alias or Host Name
|(Type or copy and paste either @ or your domain_name .)
|MS=ms XXXXXXXX
Note: This is an example. Use your specific Destination or Points to Address value here, from the table in Office 365. How do I find this?
|Set this value to 1 hour or to the equivalent in minutes ( 60 ), seconds ( 3600 ), etc.
- If you create an MX record, use these values:
|Record Type
|Alias or Host Name
|(Type or copy and paste either @ or your domain_name .)
|MS=ms XXXXXXXX
Note: This is an example. Use your specific Destination or Points to Address value here, from the table in Office 365. How do I find this?
|For Priority, to avoid conflicts with the MX record used for mail flow, use a lower priority than the priority for any existing MX records.
For more information about priority, see What is MX priority?
|Set this value to 1 hour or to the equivalent in minutes ( 60 ), seconds ( 3600 ), etc.
- Save the record.
Now that you've added the record at your domain registrar's site, you'll go back to Office 365 and request Office 365 to look for the record.
When Office 365 finds the correct TXT record, your domain is verified.
In the Microsoft 365 admin center, choose Setup > Domains.
On the Domains page, choose the domain that you are verifying.
On the Setup page, choose Start setup.
On the Verify domain page, choose Verify.
Typically it takes about 15 minutes for DNS changes to take effect. However, it can occasionally take longer for a change you've made to update across the Internet's DNS system. If you're having trouble with mail flow or other issues after adding DNS records, see Find and fix issues after adding your domain or DNS records in Office 365.
Change your domain's nameserver (NS) records
You must perform this procedure at the domain registrar where you purchased and registered your domain.
When you get to the last step of the domains setup wizard in Office 365, you have one task remaining: to set up your domain with Office 365 services, like email, you change your domain's nameserver (or NS) records at your domain registrar to point to the Office 365 primary and secondary name servers. Then, because Office 365 hosts your DNS, the required DNS records for your services are set up automatically for you.
You can update the nameserver records yourself by following the steps your domain registrar may provide in the help content at their website. If you're not familiar with DNS, contact support at the domain registrar.
To change your domain's name servers at your domain registrar's website yourself, follow these steps.
Find the area on the domain registrar's website where you can edit the nameservers for your domain.
Either create four nameserver records by using the values in the following table, or edit the existing nameserver records so that they match these values:
|First nameserver
|Second nameserver
|Third nameserver
|Fourth nameserver
- Save your changes.
When you change your domain's NS records to point to the Office 365 nameservers, all of the services that are currently associated with your domain are affected. If you skipped any steps of the wizard, such as adding email addresses, or if you're using your domain for blogs, shopping carts, or other services, there are additional steps that are required. Otherwise, this change could result in service downtime, such as lack of email access, or your current website being inaccessible. For example, here are some additional steps that might be required for email and website hosting: > Move all email addresses that use your domain to Office 365 before you change your NS records. > Want to add a domain that's currently used with a website address, like www.fourthcoffee.com? You can take steps while you add the domain to keep its website hosted where the site is hosted now, so that people can still get to the website after you change the domain's NS records to point to Office 365.
Your nameserver record updates may take up to several hours to update across the Internet's DNS system. Then your Office 365 email and other services will be all set to work with your domain.

Coulter Gift
The Wallace H. Coulter Foundation has made a $30-million gift commitment to Clarkson, in support of ongoing excellence in engineering and science programs. This gift, the largest in Clarkson's history, reinforces and broadens Clarkson's most successful learning and research activities.
Clarkson's School of Engineering has been named the Wallace H. Coulter School of Engineering in recognition of the late Wallace Coulter's dedication to the University as a trustee and the Foundation's generous support.
The extraordinary generosity of the Coulter Foundation will enable the University to realize Wallace Coulter's vision for bioengineering at Clarkson. The gift will enhance research and teaching in accordance with the theme "Technology Serving Humanity."
Wallace Coulter was a visionary with a keen scientific mind. His ingenuity led to a major breakthrough in science: the Coulter Principle. It provided a methodology for counting, measuring and evaluating microscopic particles suspended in fluid. His invention of the Coulter Counter made possible today's most common medical diagnostic test: the complete blood count (CBC).
Like Wallace Coulter, Clarkson also builds bridges that make all the difference. Clarkson connects people and technology. It connects the laboratory, classroom and marketplace. It ties theory to application. Clarkson builds bridges between disciplines and links business, engineering, liberal arts and science to facilitate advances beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplines. Clarkson produces graduates who can collaborate effectively with a wide range of professionals in a world full of complex problems.

We hear from GenealogyBank researchers all the time about their success in finding their family in historical newspapers and documents.
Do you have an interesting story to tell?
Would you be willing to be interviewed about it?
If so, please contact me directly at: email@example.com
We want to hear from you.
Here is what others have told us:
Genealogy is my #1 hobby and profession. After hearing about your site, I signed up for a year. I have spent hours at libraries finding and copying obituaries and now some of them I can find just by typing in a name! I'm also finding the less common marriage notices and newspaper articles that I did not even think to search for because I did not know they existed until they came up on my screen!
Michael W. McCormick Adams County, PA, Enduring Legacy Genealogy, LLC
I have never heard of this site before, just saw it on Facebook and decided to check it out. This is my dream come true! In 5 minutes I've found more articles about my g-g-g grandfather than I ever thought possible! I'm sold….
Joan Morrison
[….] I found something very valuable on your site, […] the story of my ggrandparents getting back together after 20 years being apart back in 1901-2 time. I believe it was in one of the TX papers, don't know why it was in it, because my ggrandfather went out to Wisconsin to seek his fortune after marrying my ggrandmother in Nova Scotia. He left after 2 weeks marriage (she was already pregnant but didn't know it, with my grandmother) and her parents did not like him, so they kept all his letters from her. He went to Massachusetts to see a friend and he asked about her and was told she lived not too far away, never married. He went to her house, and the rest is history as they say.
Margaret Sessions, Florida
I have been a subscriber since February 2008. I really like your site. I have been able to locate news articles about my ancestors in a matter of minutes. I had been looking for an article on my great grandfather's death in a train accident for at least twenty years without any luck. I found it in about ten minutes searching GenealogyBank. THANK YOU!
Keith Parrish
Your site…I am delighted I found it. Such a wide variety from major city newspapers I've never found anywhere, especially with regard to the period of history in which I am most interested. Keep adding, and thank you, from a very much pleased subscriber.
George B. Parous, Pittsburgh, PA
I am a multi-state licensed private investigator that specializes in historical and genealogical research. THIS IS MY FAVORITE WEBSITE! Thanks so much!
DeeDee, Baton Rouge, LA
I subscribed to your site yesterday and forthwith found a very interesting 4th of July article concerning my Revolutionary War patriot ancestor. What a great find!
Nancie Brunk
I've been having a ball finding articles about my family. The biggest find for me…was discovering my gr-grandfather's uncle in Congressional records as well as in newspapers. He had left home as a child and didn't return home again until after his father died. It was reported in the newspapers that his elderly mother (my gr-gr-gr-grandmother!) almost went into shock after not seeing him for nearly 37 years. GenealogyBank gave me great insight into his life as a fisherman turned world traveler and the names of his children that he had with his Russian wife and his locations in Russia and Japan back in the 1800s! How cool is that??? 🙂 I can't wait to see what papers you will put up next. Keep up the great work!
Catherine "Casey" Zahn
Genealogybank is a fantastic resource. I literally have pulled 100s of newspaper articles in the past year from the 1780s to the 1920s that have helped me reconstruct families, and much eye opening information. Over this holiday I reconstructed another family using it and am now matching old photos back to these folks from over 100 years ago. Whereas most databases give you the vital records, GenealogyBank fills in the life stories. I have been getting a kick out of the horse trader and express man brothers and their stories that made the paper. They amused (and not so amused) the folks of Springfield, Mass, for several years in the Springfield Republican. Although I have not found photos of them yet, I have now correctly identified their sisters and some nieces and nephews after decades of not knowing for sure who the people were.
Ken Piper, Facebook
I recently learned my early ancestors traveled with a French group called The Ravel Family. They were a circus family but performed in theatres in New York City, Boston, Havana, New Orleans and other U.S. cities and countries. It turns out, The Ravel Family were world famous and had a great reputation. My 2nd great-grandfather, Leon Giavelli (stage name of Javelli) performed high wire acts that no others dared try…I found all of this out just from typing 'Giavelli' in your search engine; I have been very busy downloading newspaper articles and advertisements of my family and I owe it all to you!
Jane Laughon
I have never believed in paying for websites, but I finally broke down and subscribed to Genealogybank.com. I was thrilled to have found numerous articles on my family in the Philadelphia Inquirer (PA). Thanks for your great website.
Barbara Turner, Woodbury, NJ
I'm going for a two-year subscription, for the price may never be this good again – and with all the new resources being added, who knows how much more genealogy I will be able to access 18 months from now. Look how much new content went up in just six weeks!
I subscribed immediately. Within a short space of time I found an obit for great uncle John P. McCANNEY. My father's namesake, he hid from me for years! I also found a news article for Aveline KUNTZMANN, my beloved's 2nd great grandmother. It always puzzled me because she is not interred with KUNTZMANN family. Wow! She was lost when the LA BOURGOGNE sank in July 1898. I am going to be sleep deprived!
-Mary McCanney Finley
I found a letter written by my third great grandfather – the first thing I've ever seen written by the man. This letter was published in the Albany (New York) Argus in February of 1819. Wonderful!
Most of the content found at GenealogyBank is unique, not found on other sites. You may search it for free to see how many records there are for your family. If it looks good, sign-up to see the full records.
Honestly, if you have colonial ancestry, you can't afford not to use this new resource. For the first time ever, you will be able to access newspapers and documents not previously indexed or in many cases, accessible at all. What makes this collection unique is that much of the data is from the American Antiquarian Society in Worchester, Massachusetts. This organization holds the earliest American printed materials, including newspapers – and now, for the first time, much of this material is accessible to you and I – all in digital format.
-Leland MeitzlerGenealogyBlog.com
Congratulations on a terrific website! I can't leave it – I found several newspaper items I've not before seen and I still have more on the list to view. I'm one of your first subscribers.
Thank you so much for your dedication. It paid off tremendously. I'm going back now.
-Stefani Evans, CG
…they are the kind of resources that help you to not only use source documents to learn more about your ancestry, but they also help you to put 'meat on the bones' of your genealogy as you work to create a family history. Now, individuals have access to a wide array of great resources, which are centralized and available through a single subscription service. GenealogyBank is quickly becoming a major player in the field.
Internet Genealogy, January 2007
Your GenealogyBank is WONDERFUL. It's a must for researching genealogists. I ran into info that I had searched and searched for years ago in libraries. And here it is now right at my fingertips! Amazing. It is well worth the price. Thank you for giving us all this information.
-Diana K. Bennett
I had a chance to 'test drive' the new individual GenealogyBank and was much impressed…. My best finds were in the Historical Documents collection – the American State Papers and the U.S. Serial Set. They yielded the most interesting and amazing information. I learned my 3rd great-grandfather, Solomon Dunagan was a constable, and testified at a voter fraud trial at Wayne County, Ky. Feb. 9, 1860. Solomon's son, Thomas J. Dunagan testified at the same trial as a witness for the prosecution.
-Carllene Marek AncestreeSeekers, Chico (CA) Enterprise-Record
I almost fell off my chair last week, and not because I'm naturally clumsy. I was trying out the new GenealogyBank database … and saw a headline 'Boy From Holy Land Working Way Through University of Texas.' I clicked, and there was a picture of my grandfather. The slightly melodramatic 1924 Dallas Morning News article told how my Lebanese ancestor – who lived in an orphanage – respected his elders, studied into the wee hours and worked in a dairy all summer to earn money for college. Despite 'lacking in dash and brilliance' (in the reporter's opinion), he was in the band, played football and won a debate contest.
I never met my grandfather, but he sounds a lot like my dad (except my dad is brilliant). It was a totally unexpected discovery, and just goes to show you can find information in surprising places.
-Diane Haddad, Newsletter Editor
Right off the bat, you'll notice the servers respond quickly to return hits. In my first two searches I found 2 relevant entries for my ancestors. I expect this new website will be on my 'must visit regularly' lists.
I subscribed today and have only stopped twice – once to eat a quick dinner and now for this note to thank you for this wonderful site. Already I have found 30 newspaper references in 1700-1800 for my ancestor in New York. I can't thank you enough for putting this out there for us. What an accomplishment! I'm so glad it came along while I'm still here. I turned 87 this September. The program sent me hurrying along to finish my family history!
-Alice H. Williams
It has a lot more and to me it has been worth the money. You can take it a month at a time. I have already found so much info on one of my surnames and it will take me days to go through it all. I love the site.
-Barbara Nichols
GenealogyBank is the most customer-oriented genealogy website I've ever had the pleasure to use. Its constantly-expanding content is remarkably varied, immensely useful, and delightfully out-of-the-ordinary. A vast number of the documents included in 'America's Government Documents' and 'America's Historical Books' are not found in the genealogy databases I've seen. GenealogyBank's features are easy to understand and use. The Help section is comprehensive and well-written. GenealogyBank clearly was created and structured with the needs of genealogists at all levels of research in mind.
-Joy Rich, M.L.S., Editor, Dorot: The Journal of the Jewish Genealogical Society (New York)
I have never believed in paying for websites, but I finally broke down and subscribed to Genealogybank.com. I was thrilled to have found numerous articles on my family in the Philadelphia (PA) Inquirer. Thanks for your great website.

In this process, various AI methods are applied in areas such as knowledge represenation or planning. More specifically, research (and teaching) currently focusses on Human Computer Interaction (HCI), and on intelligent systems that help to improve the interaction between a human user and a computer. Especially mobile applications and devices pose some interesting new challenges in this field.

SACRAMENTO — State Sen. Ronald S. Calderon was stripped of his legislative committee assignments Tuesday pending the outcome of a federal investigation into allegations that he took $88,000 in bribes.
Calderon, a Montebello Democrat, also lost a leadership post with the Legislature's Latino Caucus.
The suspension of Calderon by his peers came on the same day the state ethics watchdog agency opened hearings on allegations that Sen. Tom Berryhill (R-Modesto) laundered $40,000 in campaign contributions to benefit his brother's Assembly campaign.
The two cases had Senate leaders on the defensive, arguing Tuesday that even unproven misconduct by an individual is not representative of the standards of the broader membership.
Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg (D-Sacramento) said the removal of Calderon from six committee assignments, including chairmanship of the Senate Insurance Committee, does not reflect judgment on guilt or innocence.
"The allegations, however, are serious enough to potentially cloud any interaction the senator might have with colleagues, advocates and the public on issues within a committee's jurisdiction," Steinberg said.
The Senate Rules Committee voted 4 to 0 to suspend Calderon's assignments in response to a federal investigation into whether Calderon accepted $60,000 in bribes from an undercover FBI agent posing as a film studio executive in exchange for pursuing an expansion of tax credits for the film industry.
The lawmaker is also alleged to have taken $28,000 from a Long Beach hospital executive for efforts to affect legislation on workers' compensation claims.
The allegations are contained in a sealed FBI affidavit made public two weeks ago by the Al Jazeera America cable network.
Calderon noted in a statement Tuesday that he has not been charged with any crime.
"I am profoundly disappointed by the Senate Rules Committee decision to strip me of my committee assignments," Calderon said, adding that the action comes "while I am defending myself against false allegations."
The Senate's move "sends a risky and unsuitable message regarding our fundamental constitutional rights and the presumption of innocence," the lawmaker said.
Sen. Hannah-Beth Jackson (D-Santa Barbara), a rules committee member, said she voted for suspension "without prejudice" regarding guilt or innocence. "The allegations are very serious and cannot be taken lightly," she said.
Steinberg said the Senate Ethics Committee is poised to launch its own investigation of Calderon's conduct but will hold off at the request of the U.S. attorney's office.
Later, state Sen. Ricardo Lara (D-Bell Gardens), chairman of the California Latino Legislative Caucus, announced he had removed Calderon from the caucus' executive board and from the chairmanship of the caucus' Member Support and Development Committee.
"Unfortunately, recent allegations against one of our caucus members, Sen. Ron Calderon, threaten to overshadow our accomplishments and undermine the integrity of the caucus as a whole," said Lara, who is also a member of the Rules Committee.
"While we make no judgment as to the veracity" of the allegations, he said, "we have a duty to protect the integrity of a distinguished caucus."
Meanwhile, a short distance from the Capitol, Berryhill faced an administrative law judge hearing allegations by the state Fair Political Practices Commission that the senator laundered campaign funds to help his brother's run for the Assembly in 2008.
The senator had had made the maximum contribution allowed by California law to his brother's campaign. The commission alleges that he then provided $20,000 each to the Stanislaus County Republican Central Committee and the San Joaquin County Republican Central Committee, which each gave that amount to Bill Berryhill's campaign.
"Tom Berryhill needed to get money to his brother very badly, and he decided to send it to him through the central committees," Neal Bucknell, senior counsel for the Fair Political Practices Commission, said in his opening argument. "It's a straight-up money laundering case."
Charles H. Bell, an attorney for the senator, said there is no evidence that the money his client gave to the central committees was "earmarked" for his brother. The FPPC has alleged 16 violations of campaign finance laws punishable by fines of up to $80,000.

Wooden Heart | OOTD7:40 PM
Backpack: Origabu
Pastel Hoodie: Romwe
Mom Jeans: Bershka
Beret: Asos
Today is more like a cute look kinda day.
Honestly I have been loving hoodies at the moment and rediscovered them after my teenage years! Partly because I started wearing either cropped or simply better fitting ones. This one from Romwe is pastel (and this should be enough of a description to say how pretty it is) and has a prefect fit. The only thing I miss wearing it is a good pair of reeeeally long sleeves, which for me are the think i look for in every winter item, but there are some days in which I need my wrists to be free.
The bag is the same cutie I used in another post and I just wanted to share again because the brand needs to get known and grow, their idea is too great to remain unknown :)
I decided to put on a beret for no reason, since I even washed my hair that day haha, but I thought it would somehow make the look a tiny bit softer (together with the bag) instead of just the "early 80s/late 90s mom" vibe.
I NEED to make a post that its not a fashion post, and I want to take out so many ideas that have been in my mind forever but I have t organize everything... I will try to do it though, this blog saves my brain sometimes from overthinking!
I hope you liked the look and that you'll also wear a beret for no reason soon, let's make it a thing.
Stay positive, love yourself and see you on the next post :D

I'd like to access whois history starting with year 2007 or earlier for free. Domaintools is kind of expensive for my purposes. who.is seems to provide history starting with year 2009 unfortunately.

As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance. If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
I don't think that you're going to find that. If you don't want to pay DomainTools, you could try their free account. I have a free account at DomainTools but it only provides limited access to what you are looking for.
An alternative is to try to back the information out from the Wayback Machine, but that isn't the easiest way to go. See the responses to this question How do you view domain whois history? (which is already linked here).
Better yet, view this inquiry for a https://webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/4462/free-cheap-whois-api That may be more helpful. I don't know if you want to use an API, and if so what volume of queries you'll be hitting it with though.

The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) today launched its Florida 511 mobile app for Android devices. The Florida 511 app now is available for both Android and Apple devices and can be downloaded for free on Google Play or iTunes.
TALLAHASSEE � The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) today launched its Florida 511 mobile app for Android devices. The Florida 511 app now is available for both Android and Apple devices and can be downloaded for free on Google Play or iTunes.
AAA says the roadways could be crowded this Labor Day weekend with the anticipated number of travelers taking road trips reaching a post-recession high. In Florida, 1.5 million are expected travel by car during the holiday weekend, making the Florida 511 mobile app an essential travel tool to avoid and plan for traffic accordingly.
FDOT�s 511 Traveler Information System provides up-to-date traffic information on crashes, congestion, construction and more on all of Florida�s interstates, toll roads and many major metropolitan roadways. The Florida 511 app provides the same real-time traffic and travel time information as the 511 phone system, website and Twitter feeds.
The 511 app uses GPS tracking to provide users with traffic information within miles of their location. Users can set the app to provide information for a range of up to 200 miles from their location, view traffic in a select city or county by typing in a desired location or receive traffic information based on their registered My Florida 511 custom routes. Travel time information also is available based on location and direction of travel.
The Florida 511 app offers traffic updates in four ways:
* Interactive map view displaying incidents
* On-screen list of incidents
* Traffic camera views associated with incidents
* Audible recording of incidents
�FDOT aims to provide traffic information to Florida�s residents and visitors in a variety of ways, so they can receive information in the manner that best fits their lifestyle,� said Elizabeth Birriel, Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) Program Manager, FDOT. �The launch of the 511 Android app comes just in time for the Labor Day weekend, allowing the majority of smartphone users to have traffic updates at their fingertips.�
Accessing traffic information is more convenient than ever with this addition to 511�s suite of resources. There are four convenient ways for motorists to receive traffic updates with the 511 system:
* Call 511 toll free for updates in English and Spanish.
* Visit FL511.com, with interactive roadway maps showing traffic congestion and crashes, traffic camera views and travel times.
* Download the free Florida 511 app available for Android and Apple devices.
* Follow one of the 12 statewide, regional or roadway-specific feeds on Twitter.
FDOT reminds all travelers to check 511 before hitting the road, have a passenger check 511 while driving or pull over to avoid distracted driving.
Consistent, Predictable, Repeatable

Last week while touring a client's home she told me she painted her guest room Benjamin Moore Cape May Cobblestone because she was told it makes a room look bigger. When I got home I did a little research and the Benjamin Moore website does indeed say "This classic, elegant gray confers a sense of spaciousness that makes it ideal for small bedrooms and areas like hallways and mudrooms."
Wow…wouldn't it be great if there was a specific color that when painted on the walls would make the room magically look bigger? Personally, I'm not convinced that Cape May Cobblestone is the answer but if you want your room to look bigger here are three ways to create a more spacious look simply with paint.
1. Use light(er) colors over dark(er) colors. Creams, pastels, and light cool colors (blues and greens) generally make a room look and feel bigger over dark warm colors. Light, cool colors have the effect of reflecting the light around whereas warm and darker colors tend to absorb the light making the room feel cozy but smaller.
The dark walls in the living room below create a cozy but seemingly smaller space than if it had been painted in a light or pastel color.
2. Choose low contrast over high contrast. Consider painting your walls the same color as your furnishings; this will give the effect of the large furniture items virtually disappearing into the walls and will create an open feeling in the room.
Even dark colors when used in very low contrast can make a room appear larger. Notice how the trim is painted the same color as the walls keeping the contrast down making this seemingly very small room appear bigger than it actually is.
In comparison, high contrast colors act to break up a space, and can make the room look cluttered and smaller than it is.
Even though the room below is high contrast look how the wall color matches the biggest piece of furniture in the room, the sofa. Try if you will to imagine how much more chopped up and smaller the room would look if the sofa was yellow like the chair or orange like the ceiling.
3. Paint a horizontal stripe around the room. Just like with clothing, horizontal stripes tend to trick the eye into thinking something is wider. A horizontal stripe, painted on one wall or all four, will carry your eye around the room, making it appear wider.
I'm guessing this room below looks as big as possible since it incorporates all three tips: light colors, low contrast with horizontal stripes.
As a final note: be careful not to confuse making a room look and feel bigger with making a dark room look and feel brighter. Maria Killam wrote a great blog post about this and you can read it here.
So how about you? Do you have a small room that you used a paint color or technique to appear bigger?
