Caroline Wozniacki caddies for Rory McIlroy at Masters, hits ball into water
Caroline Wozniaki donned the traditional white boiler suit and green hat Wednesday to caddie for main squeeze Rory McIlroy in the traditional Masters par-3 contest, which takes place the day before play begins at Augusta National. When she was given the chance to take a swing off the tee, well, let's just say she would have been better off hitting one of her famous moonballs. The form didn't look half bad until she chunked it into the water.
"Well, it had spin on it. We can say that." Gotta love the commentary.
Caroline Wozniacki's tee shot prompts Monty to declare: "I hate to say it but I think my tennis is better than her golf." #Monty—

@McIlroyRory @carowozniacki Wozzy, great shot on 9! :)—
Mardy Fish (@MardyFish) April 11, 2013
"The divot nearly went farther than the ball," McIlroy joked. "They get second serves in her sport."
When Tom Rinaldi asked Wozniacki how the idea came about, the former No. 1 actually seemed a bit flustered. "Well … I don't know. I just had a good deal with Rory. I get a really good paycheck out of this. I even gave him a special
prize price, you know?"
"She did great," McIlroy said. "It was just great to have her right there. It was a nice way to spend a Wednesday afternoon. You know, it's her first time here at Augusta, and I just wanted to show her a good time and I think she really enjoyed it."
It looks like a pretty low-stress job, particularly considering no man who has won the par-3 event has gone on to wear the Green Jacket that year.
So it's cool, Woz. You can sabotage Rory. In fact, you should. A putter from 90 yards? Go for it.
And thus we end yet another McWozilroy post with an "awwww."
Had a blast being @McIlroyRory 's caddie today! Glad I am not wearing the boiler suit any time soon again tho! #toohot—

Need Help Selecting a Racquet? SquashGalaxy Exclusive Racquet Ratings.
If you're unsure about your model or weight...try our DEMO program.
Our favorite Squash wrap grip is the Gamma Hi Tec. It's only $8 to have it installed at the time of purchase. It has a great tacky feel and sticks to your hand even when it gets wet.
The Tecnifibre 305 17g string upgrade is recommended because factory string is less playable/durable then the Tecnifibre 305 17g string we suggest.At the time of purchase, the Tecnifibre 305 17g restring upgrade is $21.95. It's normally $36 if you mailed the racquet to us later so you save $14 if you choose the upgrade right away. The tecnifibre will fray before it breaks and that's completely normal so don't worry about it!
If you choose a vibration dampener go with the Silencer (Our favorite), Head Smart Sorb, Head Megasorb, or the BBB (Big Bad Band).
A question we get everyday is "What is Grommet Tape?" It's a piece of tape that goes over the head (bumper) of your racquet. Sometimes you need a restring because of a broken bumper. For an extra buck to add this, it could save you $25-40!!
We recommend an overgrip for players that tend a sweat a lot, want to build up a grip, or wear through wrap grips very often. An overgrip is thinner and wears quicker than re-grips, but can be changed much quicker and easier than a re-grip. We recommend the Wilson Pro Overgrip, but for those looking for the best sweat absorption, durability, and feel... the Overgrip/ Re-grip gives the best combination. Note** when an overgrip is installed, you will not be able to see the re-grip if chose to have it installed.
We get follow up calls/emails everyday thanking us for the upgrades as they really help bring out the performance of the racquet.

Schalke 04 v Hannover 96: Preview
Johan Djourou is in line for his Hannover debut tomorrow night when the Reds travel to Schalke.
The former Arsenal defender has made a big impression on Hannover coach Mirko Slomka, who sees no reason why he should not be thrown in at the deep end at the Arena AufSchalke.
``Without a doubt, Djourou belongs in our starting XI,'' he said. ``He was a player we really wanted. It wasn't easy to get him, he was playing for Arsenal after all.
``But I think we have gained an extraordinarily good central defender.
``He has a great presence and is very cool on the field and in possession, and that is what we desperately needed.''
Indeed, Hannover have slipped out of the top six and a third consecutive season in Europe is in jeopardy at the midway stage of the season.
That is why victory over Schalke, who are also at risk of missing out on Europe next term, would be an ideal start to 2013.
``With a win, we can overtake Schalke, which would be a big boost since they are a side who are aiming for a place in the Champions League,'' said Slomka at the pre-match press conference.
The Royal Blues still have a Champions League last-16 tie with Galatasaray to look forward to, but their new coach Jens Keller, who replaced Huub Stevens just before Christmas, must also ensure the team do not lose too much ground in the league.
A 5-0 defeat to Bayern Munich during the winter break has set the alarm bells ringing in Gelsenkirchen, but Keller is remaining optimistic.
``We are in a very good condition,'' he said. ``We have worked on a lot in our training camp and we are ready to go.''
Keller could include new signing Raffael, who only joined this week, in his squad while Edu, who has returned from a loan spell at Greuther Furth, is also a candidate.
Lewis Holtby, who has agreed a deal to join Tottenham next season, will see what kind of a reaction he will get from the Schalke faithful, some of whom manifested their disappointment after Holtby announced his decision to leave the club.

To attend: Register on Polar Careers powered by Symplicity. Use your ONU e-mail address and school password to access Polar Careers powered by Symplicity. Make an appointment to have your résumé reviewed by an ONU professional career advisor. (Watch How to Register for Ohio Northern's Career Fair on YouTube!)
Career Fairs
Throughout the year, Polar Careers sponsors or co-sponsors events that enable our students to engage with potential employers. Training workshops are provided to prepare students for that interaction. On-campus fall and spring career fairs are held for majors in arts and sciences, business administration, and engineering. A fall career fair is held for pharmacy majors. Students are provided with information about virtual career fairs and career fairs throughout the country.
Why Attend Career Fairs?
Students sometimes ask why they should attend career fairs when they can usually submit their resume online. Certainly it is easier to submit online, and even at career fairs, recruiters may ask students to submit their application materials online. So why take the time to dress professionally and show up at a career fair?
Taking the extra effort to attend career fairs shows initiative and provides networking opportunities. It also gives you the chance to talk to recruiters about the application process, what recruiters are looking for in applicants, what you should include on your resume to get you noticed, information about the corporate culture, and other valuable tips you can get only from face-to-face interaction.
Don't miss opportunities because you assume there is no need to talk to recruiters who are there to hire other majors. Even though the recruiter may be seeking individuals from one major, their company may hire other majors as well. For instance, if you are a business major, don't overlook opportunities with an engineering firm because you think they only hire engineers. If a recruiter is impressed with you, they will pass along your information to the relevant people.
The importance of face-to-face conversation can not be over-emphasized. Having well-developed interpersonal communication skills is a necessity in the workplace and in the competitive job market. Recruiters are looking for exceptional candidates – the career fair provides you the opportunity to prove that you are one.
Maximize Your Career Fair Experience
Attend "Career Fair Success Strategies" workshops sponsored by the Polar Careers office for tips on achieving success at career fairs.

Pick up the updated Fantasy Baseball Guide here. And don't forget that DobberBaseball has content flowing daily now, including the new Cage Match feature every Monday.
Interesting waiver consideration - Kings forward Trevor Lewis has four points and is plus-6 in his last three games. his ice time is finally up in that 15-16 minute range. He has always been a player with potential, but he had been buried for so long that we forgot about him.
Brad Marchand is having a hell of a season, with 12 points in 14 games. Amazingly, his ice time is actually down this year - from 17:37 to 16:36. His PP time is about flat - from 2:09 to 2:11. Of course, the number is skewed a little from when he was hurt and left the game halfway through, back on the 2nd. But still, it's the steady, skilled linemates (Tyler Seguin and Patrice Bergeron) that are doing this. Only two of his points are via the power play.
Marchand had six SOG Sunday, after just 20 heading into the game.
Dennis Seidenberg had eight hits and five blocked shots Sunday.
Peter Mueller led all Florida forwards in ice time, playing 21:19. That's easily a season high for him. Nothing to show for it though.
Drew Shore has eight points in his last 11 games. In most league formats he should be off the waiver wire by now. Great shot totals, decent plus/minus.
So what surprised me more, the Red Wings scoring eight goals, or Roberto Luongo giving up eight goals. First instinct was the Wings scoring eight. My first thought was that they're on fire. That Niklas Kronwall is going nutty and - uh oh - Damien Brunner has found his NHL stride.
First, Kronwall. Back-to-back three-point games give him 16 in 19 on the season, fulfilling his promise to fill the offensive void on the blue. I acquired him in the summer in every pool I could. Had been questioning that. Not anymore. Three of those six points came on the PP, by the way.
Brunner's four-point outburst came just days after I dropped him in a rather shallow daily league. I had no other option, I didn't want to drop him but someone else dropped Cory Conacher and frankly I thought that was an upgrade (I still do). But he's here to stay, folks. He should get at least 35 points this year and, barring a new coach, he'll stay with Zetterberg into next season - which means 60+ points.
Jakub Kindl has points in four of his last five games and plus-5 in that span. He is still getting the occasional healthy scratch, but seeing over 20 minutes Sunday has to help the ol' confidence.
Prospect Joakim Andersson, a defensive forward with some upside, has five points in nine games for the Wings. He is plus-5 in his last two games. He is looking at strong career in that plus/minus category and should be a future 40-point player.
So where does Gustav Nyquist stand? Well, the Red Wings are giving him an added year in the AHL. This is a new thing for them. Not. They feel that two full years in the AHL is the minimum requirement. Tatar put in the time, even though he's younger. Andersson put in the time as well. Andersson fills a different role. Nyquist should be in the mix next season. The team is wise to limit the amount of rookies they bring on board each season.
Nyquist had a three-point game for Grand Rapids yesterday and has six in his last two AHL contests - and finally someone has passed Jordan Eberle in the AHL scoring race. So yeah, he's doing well.
Does the NHL's new realignment plan (really just sending Detroit and Columbus to the East and going with four Conferences) lead you to believe that they won't be expanding to Toronto or Quebec within three years? I can't see them changing the realignment again in 2015 (assuming the PA approves)
Evgeni Malkin suffered short-term memory loss and has been diagnosed with a concussion. He is getting his memory back, but will sit out of at least the next three games. Best case - Monday March 4.
Jack Johnson is out with a shoulder injury. The Jackets recalled Ryan Johansen, who played 15:17 in his return. He had four shots and three hits - somebody wants to stay.
Cam Atkinson has been back for three games, but the Jackets have only scored four goals in that span. He has one assist, but I'd like to see his numbers if the Jackets ever get on a bit of a streak. Even the worst teams have hot streaks - they're just short.
Raffi Torres has five points in his last four games and is plus-3 in that span.
Matt Lombardi has four points in six games with his new/old team. He's seeing 17 minutes per game right now and is worth looking into if you need a center.
I love the power of the healthy scratch. Alex Goligoski has five points in seven games since being scratched.
Getting his first career NHL win - Cristopher Nilstorp. The Stars like him better than Richard Bachman, so they were hoping for some success that they can use as an excuse to have him keep starting and make their scouting staff look like geniuses. All teams do it. It's not good, it's not bad - it just is.
That's my Zen though for you for today.
Already without Del Zotto (day to day with a bone bruise), the Rangers are now without Ryan McDonagh (unconfirmed concussion) and Dan Girardi (bone bruise in ankle. I wonder if they recall Dylan McIlrath, who is a potential PIM stud.
With four assists last night, Francois Beauchemin is a top fantasy defenseman year-to-day. He has 11 points and is plus-15 on the year.
Kevin Poulin lost his first start of the season, though he had a shutout entering the second half of the game.
Dobber Nation will be up tomorrow. A day late, sorry.
Last week I don't think I posted any of my columns here for you. So here they are:
The Hockey News - Top 10 pleasant surprises

Max Pacioretty has been cleared of his hit Saturday on McDonagh. No suspension.

Kiprusoff update here. Seems promising, not timetable yet but I would guess a week.
Martin Brodeur was supposed to start Sunday, but he left warm ups early and Hedberg drew in. No concrete update on that as of yet.
Wow, look at this - a set play? The twins…
And from Saturday, Jamie Benn vs. Joe Thornton (yep, you read that right):

Seriously people, Can't we just say that Malkin is #2 with the caveat being his health? Stamkos is 2A with the stipulation tht he hasn't missed a game in three years. Take it for what it is, they're both good players.
But please, please don't start doubting Geno's game because he is hurt. You just sound stupid.

Defeat Diabetes
150 153rd Ave,
Suite 300
Madeira Beach, FL 33708
New Test Predicts Diabetic NephropathyPosted: Thursday, March 22, 2007
Urine proteomic profiling can predict the development of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria well before the condition arises, according to a new report.
"We have identified a set of urine proteins almost 10 years before the onset of diabetic nephropathy that identify those who will go on to get diabetic nephropathy, the most common cause of renal failure in the U.S. and the world," Dr. Ravi Thadhani, from Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, told Reuters Health.
Dr. Thadhani and colleagues compared urinary proteomic profiles among 62 Pima Indians with type 2 diabetes and normal urinary albumin excretion, who were followed for 10 years for the development of diabetic nephropathy.
The authors identified a 12-peak predictive signature that provided a 93% sensitivity, 86% specificity, and 93% accuracy for predicting the development of diabetic nephropathy.
When the signature was tested against all samples in the validation set (17 case samples and 17 matched controls), the overall accuracy was 74%, with a sensitivity of 71% and a specificity of 76%, the report indicates.
The 12-peak signature was independently predictive of diabetic nephropathy in a multivariate binary logistic regression model adjusting for baseline hemoglobin A1c, the researchers note, whereas hemoglobin A1c was no longer significantly associated with subsequent diabetic nephropathy.
"While these findings require a significant amount of work to identify and test the robustness of these markers, they offer the potential for clinicians one day to be able to tell whether a diabetic patient will get renal failure well before the development of this devastating condition, and, hence, offer hope for early intervention to prevent its onset," Dr. Thadhani said.
"First we need to confirm the identification of the proteins we uncovered, then we need to test this profile in other populations with type 2 diabetes to determine if the same predictive potential remains," Dr. Thadhani explained. "Then we will carry out prospective studies in larger populations."

Apple's iPhone 4S is now available factory unlocked in the U.S. from Apple.com. Why it took until November when countries like Canada and the UK got unlocked models at launch, who knows? But if you've been waiting to go contract and SIM-lock free, now's your chance! (Reminder: Only the GSM/AT&T version is available unlocked, not the CDMA/Verizon/Sprint version).
Apple has also launched the iPhone 4S in 13 more countries, namely Albania, Armenia, Bulgaria, El Salvador, Greece, Guatemala, Hong Kong, Malta, Montenegro, New Zealand, Panama, Poland, Portugal, Romania and South Korea.
If you grabbed a new iPhone 4S today, let us know where and which model you got! And if you need more information to help you decide and get up to speed, check out:

Samuel Bloomer served in Company B of the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. He was the regiment's color sergeant, and after the war he was deeply involved in civic life and the Grand Army of the Republic.
Bloomer was born in Switzerland on November 30, 1835. He immigrated to the United States in 1846 with family, including his first cousin, Adam Marty. The family settled in St. Louis for a time before moving to Stillwater. Bloomer worked on the Henry Jackman farm and as a carpenter. He was a member of the "Wide Awakes," a group that supported Lincoln during the 1860 election.
When news of the Civil War reached Minnesota, Bloomer and his cousins joined the Stillwater Guards, a local militia group. The Guards were mustered into the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment at Fort Snelling on April 29, 1861, forming the nucleus of Company B. Bloomer was initially given the rank of corporal and participated in all the regiment's major engagements until the Battle of Antietam. He was wounded slightly in the head at the Battle of Bull Run. During the Battle of Savage's Station on June 29, 1862, which was part of the Peninsula Campaign, Bloomer was promoted to color sergeant. In the midst of the engagement the standard bearer was killed. Bloomer picked up the colors, and was separated from the regiment for five hours. He returned the colors to the regiment and was promoted for his bravery.
While carrying the colors during the Battle of Antietam, Bloomer received a gunshot wound below his right knee. He crawled to safety behind a nearby oak tree as the First Minnesota retreated. Bloomer lay there until the next day when Confederate soldiers carried him to a barn. Eventually Bloomer came into the care of his comrades when the Confederates retreated. On September 20, 1862, his leg was amputated. Bloomer spent the rest of his service in military hospitals until he was discharged on December 2, 1862. He returned to Stillwater, but became very restless and heartbroken when a local woman refused his proposal of marriage. He accepted a commission as a Lieutenant in the Veteran Reserve Corps. He served until September 19, 1866, when he was mustered out.
During his Reserve Corps service he met Matilda J. Burns and married her on December 6, 1863. They had four children together. The couple resided in Stillwater after Bloomer's service. The veteran worked as a guard at the Stillwater Prison, as an insurance agent, and sewing machine salesman. In September of 1875 Bloomer caught his wife committing adultery. They were divorced in 1878 and Bloomer received custody of the children. He married his second wife, Ellen Pressell, in 1882. Bloomer was subsequently employed as Washington Country Treasurer for six years, and established a summer camp on White Bear Lake afterward.
Like his cousin Adam Marty, Bloomer was deeply involved in the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR). He was appointed Assistant Adjutant General of the GAR by Marty in 1881 and played a pivotal role in reestablishing the organization in Minnesota. He was a member of both Acker Post in St. Paul and Muller Post in Stillwater. In addition to the Grand Army of the Republic, Bloomer was a member of the "Last Man's Club" along with most of Stillwater's Company B veterans.
Bloomer was also involved in veterans' affairs outside these two organizations. In 1905 he was given the honor of carrying the First Minnesota's battle flag from the old state capitol to the new. He also formed an organization which raised money and erected a soldier's monument on the grounds of the Washington County Courthouse in 1916. By 1915 Bloomer could barely walk and needed two canes to do so. He died on October 4, 1917, and was buried in Fairview Cemetery in Stillwater. An imposing monument of Bloomer as the First Minnesota's color bearer marks the site of his burial.

Beach Umbrella Alternative: Teepee Love
3. Land of Nod Meet Me in the Teepee
4. Custom made Teepee by Calico Skies Crafts
• Teepees, Tents, and Yurts: 9 US Getaways
• Teepee Party
18 Comments
jessica, from houseofhabit.blospot.com makes amazing teepees and sells them on etsy. check out hers, too!
that's houseofhabit.blogspot.com :)
teepees are great, but it gets hot inside. something to think about when taking to the beach :)
Part of the joy of going to the beach is taking the scenery in and feeling the ocean breeze. I'll stick with a beach umbrella. Those Teepees would be great for camping in a backyard (or bedroom) though.
Yeah, I agree with the posters above, a teepee looks hot. Maybe it'd work in California where the beaches seem to be cooler but in the Southeast you'd be sweltering.
Does no one find the use of teepees slightly problematic in terms of cultural appropriation?
INGERB...nope, no more than ordering chinese food.
Actually, I'd say it's more akin to ordering Chinese food and then using chopsticks to eat it. Still OK in my book.
Have your kids ever made an igloo out of snow in the wintertime? Is it wrong for a family to stay in a yurt at a national park? Indigenous people all over the world came up with creative solutions for shielding themselves from the elements. As long as we teach kids the true history of these structures--not just the spaghetti western version--why not admire and adapt what others before us have developed?
Super cute for the backyard or even a playroom (if you have a huge playroom!) but I'd never use it as an alternative to the beach umbrella, for the reasons listed above. Plus, that looks like a lot of heavy stuff to lug to the beach...
INGERB, a while ago AT profiled a kids party with a teepee theme and comments got HEATED. I still think that party was really problematic - among other things, it got really heavy into a cowboys-and-Indians theme. But there is a difference between that and simply using a teepee as a shelter, especially since (as MOLLYMARGARITA points out) just about every culture in the world has developed some kind of tent-like shelter structure.
Here's the link: http://www.apartmenttherapy.com/teepee-party-100493
Ok, I am not at all in the mis-appropriation protest line, but that party crossed over, jumped on, turned around and pooped on the boundary line. Cowboys and indians? Come on. Talk about the dilution of a horrific history.
This on the other hand is cute (though not useful for hot weather as everyone's mentioned). I compared it to ordering chinese food, but I guess it would be better to say cooking chinese food if you are not chinese is a form of appropriation. However it is not MIS-appropriation. It's only misappropriation if it is being used for any other reason than what it's intended for. Food is to be eaten, shelter is to be sheltering.
Merely erecting and sitting in a tipi is by no means fo the definition misappropriation.
"Does no one find the use of teepees slightly problematic in terms of cultural appropriation?"
I'm American Indian, are you suggesting I should be offended on your behalf?
Indian culture is part of American culture so why should anyone be offended? Lighten up with the political correctness.
username26 -
How can you assume that the symbology has been stripped history, context, and meaning? These designs might have been chosen have a weeks long research project with the kids where they learned about the history, design, and use of the teepee as well as the meaning of the symbols. At least, thats how we would do it or our preschool would do it.
I am also American Indian and I think this is adorable. The first one is my favorite. :)
"I don't think you have to be offended in order to find something problematic. The idea isn't to jump down someone's throat and chastise them but to analyze to potential effects of something that is culturally problematic."
There simply is nothing "culturally problematic" about it. It doesn't take any analyzing it to determine that simple fact. Teepees are part of American culture. It's as simple as that. Only those who believe in political correctness would have a problem with this article.
"Learning how to understand and navigate sensitive cultural issues properly should be the goal."
What is this "goal" you speak of? Political correctness? No thanks. That's done more to harm and perpetuate so-called "sensitive cultural issues" than anything else. I'll stick to the truth.
I think it's Butterick that makes a pattern for a teepee that looks like the first one. I made one for my granddaughters and they LOVE it. Just an FYI for people who sew...
That first one makes me want to crawl in and take a nap! Ahh ...
I love the teepees, but I clicked through to the comments to see if anyone had started arguing about the appropriateness of (heaven forbid!) using teepees outside of an educational resource to teach about American Indian heritage. Of course, I was not disappointed. I'm glad to read that most of the commenters have good heads on their shoulders, though. :)
I actually do, i guess they seem kind of cute when presented in this sort of quirky fashion but at the end of the day i still find this inappropriate in terms of how it really is cultural appropriation

On their suppression, in 1864, by the Russian Government they transferred the mother-house to Cracow, Austria. In the province of Cracow there are forty-four houses of this congregation, and in the United States where the first foundation was made in 1874, there are two provinces, 820 choir and lay sisters, 100 novices, 168 postulants, in charge of 87 schools with 36,700 pupils, 5 orphanages with 416 inmates, 2 homes for the aged, an emigrant home, working girls' home, and a day nursery.

In the past, I have bought whatever page protectors were on sale-they all seem to work pretty interchangeably. If it wasn't perfect, or they didn't all match, it was okay, it still worked.
I bought these because I was making a gift album, and bought a We R Memory Keepers three ring album. These were right there, so I got some. I can't believe how superior they are! They are not only heavy duty, they are silky and smooth. Very, very high quality, and much better than any other I have used.
I won't use anything but these in the future.
I will never again purchase any other page protectors. These are by far the best I have found. Sturdy, I usually am an embellishments queen, and these pages take a licking! And for the price you can't go wrong. I have also purchased 3 of the We R Memory Keepers in different colors, and again 5 stars review. Meant and created to last a lifetime! You won't have a single regret, I promise!!!
I was told in a Joann's review that Joanns sold the We R memory keepers albums----but NOT the 12 x 12 full page top loading protectors. I had never put my layouts in albums yet so I was so glad that the person warned me. I was able to locate the correct protectors online through your store. Thanks a bunch!!

The kitchen is no longer the most basic and purely functional room of the house. Through the use of fun, new materials and combining lots of different textures, the kitchen is quickly becoming the statement room of the house!
The kitchen above mixes simple materials to create its unique look. The clean white countertop paired with the raw plywood and simple glass storage are a perfect combination! Like these cute glass mason jars, be sure to make the home decor selections just as important as the larger furniture and built-ins choices.
The kitchen above is more bold in its design aesthetic. Concrete surfaces are a trendy alternative to the typical tile or granite options.
Talk about making a statement.... this kitchen veers away from the typical stainless steel look for a handsome brassy alternative. Paired with the pale concrete floors and gray brick walls, this kitchen is a show stopper! The oversized modern pendants give the space its shiny element, while the spotted countertop gives it a nice contrast.
Hopefully we've given you some fun ideas for a modern kitchen. Don't be shy to mix and match materials as long as you have a cohesive design goal in mind.

Designing your kitchen, like any room of the home, is fun because you're creating your own personal environment. However, the most fun element of the kitchen design is the lighting because it's like the jewelery to a great outfit. It's the beautiful accessory to this functional space. To keep the space modern, pendant lighting is the way to go.
There's many different types of modern pendants that will help you achieve a great look for your stylish space. The kitchen above uses a really fun mix of materials to balance out the wood and brick, the bold black drum shade pendants make a great addition. Also, a bold stripe could look amazing in this space.

This kitchen below is much different than the first one. Here, the lighting is understated but stylistically just as effective. The barely-there glass pendants give the kitchen a whimsical yet modern feel while keeping it open and fresh.
LBL Isla Clear Satin Nickel Pendant
Jaime Young St. Charles Clear Glass Pendant
You also have the option of allowing your lighting to become a statement piece, making it more art than a light fixture. This type of pendant is always fun to shop for since your goal should be to find the one with the most personality.

Possini White Cloud Pendant Light
Have fun selecting your kitchen lighting while keeping function, scale and style in mind. You're sure to create the look you want for your modern kitchen with any number of different pendant lighting styles out there.

Hardwood flooring in the kitchen is a timeless choice that allows your flooring to remain consistent throughout your house. The days of switching up flooring in each room is pretty much over. Hardwood floors have many benefits; one of the most important is that it is more comfortable under foot versus tile, more natural than vinyl, and more neutral than cork. Many modern kitchens are designed with an open plan and appear more furniture-like in aesthetic, so a seamless integration into the rest of the house is key. Often times people wonder about the durability of hardwood floors in the kitchen, but there is nothing to worry about here.
A natural oiled engineered floor like this Vernal White Oiled floor from DuChateau neutralizes the modern elements of the glass and stainless steel in this kitchen. It also does a great job of grounding the contrasting the raw wood island and a modern chrome chandelier and allows these eclectic elements to work together.
Your basic white lacquer kitchen with contrasting upper cabinets is warmed up with natural oak flooring. White pendant lights and white barstools remain sculptural, but neutral in the space as it opens up to the lush landscaping of the exterior to provides you with a real organic feel in this modern space.
The contrast of the dark wood and matte lacquer cabinetry, white countertops, and fine sawn white oak flooring is a gorgeous combination. The element of natural wood in kitchens and clean modern interiors is key to creating life and warmth.
I love this look here. A kitchen with clean modern lines, marble countertops, and simple door hardware mixed with rustic oak flooring which really sets the stage for the room. The choice of flooring is really a key element of design in any space. This room could have taken on many different looks, but this use of a rustic oak floor provides you with a contemporary yet rustic atmosphere that makes me feel as if you are in a beautiful wine country.

I love the challenge presented by small spaces, perhaps nowhere more than in the kitchen. How do you squeeze a functioning galley into a small space and still maintain a certain level of aesthetic in the process?
The standard bearer of the self-contained mini kitchen is Boffi's Mincucine (pictured above). Designed in 1963 with a volume just shy of 11 cubic feet, this mini kitchen covers cooking, refrigeration and storage in a space the size of an office desk, wrapped in a brilliant, minimalist design.
The original Minicucine was updated in 2007 with a gorgeous matte Corian finish.
Students at ENSCI, the famed Parisian industrial design school were clearly influenced by Boffi when they designed their Modern Space Saving Mini Kitchen. Sliding counters and a streamlined design give the concept piece a Star Trek allure.
With storage, prep and cooking all wrapped into a single, mobile unit, these kitchens contain everything but the lighting. Mini-pendant lights are a great way to light these minimalist wonders without overpowering their diminutive size.
Hinkley Hampton Wide Nickel Mini Pendant Light, (left) Polished Nickel Hybrid Mini Pendant (right)
Mini kitchens can seem almost automotive in their presentation. Concept photos show gleaming stand-alone pieces with doors swung open and there's a distinct emphasis as much on performance as on form. Designers Adriano Conti, Corrado Galzio and Alex Innamorati pack a lot of punch into their design, including a vegetable washer, dishwasher, refrigerator, small pantry and oven. At approximately three feet in diameter, this design could be tucked away into a closet when house guests arrive. Or as the photo shows, it makes a decent cocktail table too.
A trend toward higher density living no doubt necessitates small living solutions, yet as logistically accomplished as compacted island kitchen concepts are, more conservative back-to-the-wall designs may be best suited to widespread use. The K1 Kitchen from French company Kitchoo is a minimalist bureau design that integrates easily with a variety of hospitality and home projects.
When space is an issue, modularity often carries the day, offering flexibility that stand-alone mini kitchens do not. Forget about what's on the stove, Snaidero's modular Code kitchen system is worth salivating over. It looks great with ample floor space, but can be scaled down to fit a much smaller footprint.
The Library Kitchen system, designed by Phillipe Starck for Warendorf, wraps the kitchen appliances in bookshelves, merging the cultural and the culinary for tight spaces.
When counter space is tight, it can be critical to utilize air space. Use stemware racks, recessed under cabinet lights and hanging pot racks to help keep cabinets and counters free.
Living small requires living smart. With a variety of excellent plug-and-play and modular systems out there, living small can mean living well too.

BOO-ti-ful Spirits Banner
Set your Halloween decorations aglow! The Tulip® Glow Paint Party Pack and Aleene's® Fabric Fusion™ help you transform a plain black T-shirt into this not so spooky Halloween banner that's a welcome sight both day and night.
Designed by Cheryl Ball, courtesy of iLoveToCreate™, a Duncan Enterprises Company
Material List
- Tulip® Glow Paint Party Pack
- Aleene's® Fabric Fusion™ Fabric Adhesive™
- Tulip® Craft Mat™ (9-inches x 9-inches)
- Scissors
- Ribbons (assorted colors desired)
- White Chalk (sharpened to a point)
- Straight Pins
- Paper Towels
Project Instructions
Note: Click on the Download Pattern button on the bottom right of the page for the pattern designs.
Cut out banner pattern then pin to double layer of black T-shirt. Cut out then repeat step creating a total of four pennants.
Flip over design pattern. Using white chalk, lightly draw over pattern lines holding up to window if needed to see lines.
Position first pattern, chalk side down, on first fabric pennant and hold in place. Press fingers along pattern lines to transfer design to fabric. Repeat with all designs and pennant pieces.
Place fabric pennant on Craft Mat – it will prevent paint from seeping through to work surface and is easy to clean. Test flow of paint on paper towel using an even pressure on bottle for a smooth line. Starting with first pennant, outline each section then fill in with color shown, applying an even coating. Use a straight pin to pop any bubble that may form. Carefully slide off Craft Mat and let dry. Repeat for remaining three pennants.
Measure and cut a 6-ft. length of ribbon for hanger. Center pennants along ribbon spacing approximately 4-inches between and leaving longer tails at each end. Apply a thin bead of Fabric Fusion on ribbon, position banner section in place and press to secure.
Using ruler on Craft Mat, measure and cut 8-inch sections from ribbons, cutting enough for about four ribbons between each pennant and at ends. Tie around long hanger ribbon as shown.

According to owner Christen Duckett, the newly remodeled store will boast a new produce case, 15 new doors of freezer space and a wide range of new products, mostly organics.
"That's what people are shopping for," Duckett said. "They're looking to eat a little healthier, and we're hoping we can provide that." The market will provide selections from the Amy's Organics line of frozen foods and will stock its shelves with an expanded line of organic and natural grocery products. The market will continue its tradition of offering locally grown produce in the summer, but Duckett plans to expand that to include a more regular line of organic produce.
The Business After Hours event is open to business and citizen members of the Ouray Chamber Resort Association. Membership is $40 and includes a propane discount plan with Hometown Propane as well as discounted fees for OCRA-sponsored events throughout the year.
OCRA membership could soon boast more benefits than it has in the past. New Executive Director Jennifer Loshaw is working hard to expand the benefit package, with a possible community health-insurance plan in the works, in conjunction with the Ouray Community Development Committee. Durango, Montrose and Grand Junction all have such plans in place already, and the plan may even offer coverage for alternative health care.
"I didn't expect to see that, but I was happy that they offered it," Loshaw said of some of the plans that she has looked at.
For more information on OCRA membership or to host a Business After Hours, contact the chamber at 970/325-4746.

"A brilliant study of the wages of mortal love." —The New York Times Book Review
What does it mean to be a success? To be a good parent? To live a meaningful life? Emily Rapp thought she knew the answers when she was pregnant with her first child. But everything changed when nine-month-old Ronan was diagnosed with Tay-Sachs disease, a rare and always-fatal degenerative disorder. He was not expected to live beyond the age of three. Rapp and her husband were forced to re-evaluate everything they thought they knew about parenting and to learn to parent without a future.
Even before the book's publication, Rapp set the Internet ablaze with her New York Times op-ed piece about parenting a terminally ill child. An immediate bestseller, The Still Point of the Turning World is Rapp's memorial to her lost son and an inspiring and exquisitely moving reminder to love and live in the moment.
"The Still Point of the Turning World is about the smallest things and the biggest things, the ugliest things and the most beautiful things, the darkest things and the brightest things, but most of all it's about one very important thing: the way a woman loves a boy who will soon die. Emily Rapp didn't want to tell us this story. She had to. That necessity is evident in every word of this intelligent, ferocious, grace-filled, gritty, astonishing starlight of a book."
—Cheryl Strayed, author of Wild
"It's hard to find words that do justice to Emily Rapp's The Still Point of the Turning World. It's one of those rare books that you want to press into people's hands and simply say, 'You must read this. You will thank me.' At every turn, Rapp avoids the maudlin and the expected to get at very deep truths, sometimes painful and sometimes liberating and sometimes both. She looks for wisdom and comfort to a wide range of sources ranging from C.S. Lewis to Marilynne Robinson to Buddhist teaching. And she looks to her son. This is one family's story of living while facing death, but also an astonishingly generous work about recognizing the pain and grace that exist all around us."
—Will Schwalbe, New York Times bestselling author of The End of Your Life Book Club
"Rapp has an emotional accessibility reminiscent of Wild author Cheryl Strayed; her unique experiences have a touch of the universal. She comes across as open, midthought. In her book, she wrestles with the ideas of luck and sentimentality and life and love and often circles back, unresolved. Despite being a former divinity student, she bypasses religion for literature, seeking meaning in poetry, myth and, especially, Frankenstein and its author, Mary Shelley... Her kind of parent? The dragon mother: powerful, sometimes terrifying, full of fire and magic."
—Carolyn Kellogg, Los Angeles Times, "Faces to Watch in 2013"
"A beautiful, searing exploration of the landscape of grief and a profound meditation on the meaning of life."
—Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Ronan's 'death sentence' was for Rapp and her husband, Rick, living in Santa Fe, a time of grief, reckoning, and learning how to live, and her elegant, restrained work flows with reflections and excerpts from writers and poets like Mary Shelley, Pablo Neruda, and Sylvia Plath, as well as supporters who helped her during the difficult unraveling of her son's condition. Writing about Ronan allowed her to claim the sorrow and truly look at her son the way he was... Unflinching and unsentimental, Rapp's work lends a useful, compassionate, healing message for suffering parents and caregivers."
—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"A writer writes; a mother mothers. When those passionate vocations merge in crisis, more than a memoir emerges. The Still Point of the Turning World is a philosophical inquiry into the nature of faith, character, love, and dying. This book is Rapp's, and Ronan's, enduring gift of selves for the rest of us."
—Antonya Nelson, author of Nothing Right and Some Fun
"This memoir of extraordinary tenderness and grace in the face of unimaginable loss is searingly beautiful in the way of a sacred text. Emily Rapp certainly didn't sign on to be our guide into the deepest crevasses of the human heart, but that is what she has become. Of course this is an undeniably sad book, but don't let that stop you. It is also one of the most powerfully alive books I have ever read. Every page shouts: This is what it is to love! To risk! To lose! To bear witness! An unforgettable moral and artistic triumph."
—Dani Shapiro, author of Devotion and Slow Motion
"Written with remarkable precision and restraint, Emily Rapp's The Still Point of the Turning World takes us to the depths of grief, where almost against our will, heartbreak becomes beautiful."
—Roger Rosenblatt, author of Making Toast and Kayak Morning
"Emily Rapp has written an intimate, compelling and often unexpectedly funny story that speaks to some of the most universal truths of being human. More than just a narrative, this is art, not to mention essential reading."
—Gary Shteyngart, author of Super Sad True Love Story
"Emily Rapp transforms her particular life situation—being a mother to her son Ronan who is dying of Tay-Sachs disease—into something universal, challenging readers to remember that love is all we ever have. Rapp's words will sear your heart and make you want to be a better parent, sister, partner, friend. Reading her book will change your life."
—Sarah Sentilles, author of Breaking Up with God
"Emily Rapp vows not to avert her eyes, and she keeps her promise: to the son she is losing to a rare genetic disease, to her family, and to her readers. The result is a staggeringly brilliant and heartbreaking exploration of love, literature, life, death, and belief. Rapp's language is as propulsive and beautiful as her grief is brutal, and her intellectual curiosity is insatiable. She asks the hardest questions any human being is ever forced to ask, about how we understand ourselves and our children, how we love and learn to let each other go. Reading Emily Rapp is like visiting a lush, complicated, inimitable planet. Fly there as fast as you can."
—Rachel Dewoskin: author of Big Girl Small and Foreign Babes in Beijing

Warner Brothers pulls trailer for 'Gangster Squad' following shooting at 'The Dark Knight Rises'
Warner Bros via Youtube
After Friday morning's fatal shooting during the premiere of "The Dark Knight Rises" in Colorado, Warner Brothers has stopped running a trailer depicting a fictional movie theater masacre.
After Friday morning's fatal shooting during a screening of its blockbuster "The Dark Knight Rises," Warner Brothers has stopped running a trailer for another of its action films.
The trailer for "Gangster Squad" features a scene in which a 1940s mobster fires a machine gun through a movie screen into an audience.
At least 12 people died and dozens more sustained injuries when a gunman shot moviegoers at a midnight screening of the latest Batman film in Aurora, Colorado. It's unclear whether the trailer for the gangster film starring Sean Penn, Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling and Josh Brolin preceded the third installment of the Batman trilogy in movie theaters.
"Gangster Squad" is scheduled to premiere on September 7.
Domestic screenings of "The Dark Knight Rises" continue on its opening day Friday, but Warner Brothers did cancel the movie's Paris premiere.
The studio also issued a statement in which it expressed sympathy with the families and loved ones of the shooting victims.

Alcohol involvement in injuries has been demonstrated in numerous studies. Hundreds of thousands of deaths occur each year due to alcohol-related intentional and unintentional injuries, and alcohol is involved in up to 30% of adult hospital admissions, particularly those to emergency rooms. Few countries, particularly in developing countries, include alcohol assessment in their surveillance system. The Department of Mental Health and Substance Dependence in collaboration with the Department of Injuries and Violence Prevention initiated the WHO Collaborative Study on Alcohol and Injuries in 12 countries to test the feasibility of using the ICD-10 Y91 codes for observational assessment of alcohol intoxication.
The International Collaborative Effort on Injury Statistics (ICE) is a research activity that seeks to improve the international comparability and quality of injury data. WHO is a participant in this activity which is sponsored by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's National Center for Health Statistics.

Love the fit incredibly comfortable just to walk around in. Will eventually be able to test out the waterproofing. I live in Florida so obviously no mountain hiking for me. I have other Merrell shoes and have been incredibly happy with them. No regrets at all!

Beyond al-Qaeda: Part 1, The Global Jihadist Movementby Peter Chalk Angel Rabasa Sara A. Daly Kim Cragin Heather S. Gregg
Examines al-Qaeda??s evolution and the emergence of the broader global jihadist movement-groups affiliated, associated, or inspired by al-Qaeda-and the threat that they pose to the United States and U.S. allies and interests. The authors conclude by setting out a four-pronged strategy to counter the jihadist threat.
Beyond al-Qaeda: Part 2, The Outer Rings of the Terrorist Universeby Peter Chalk Angel Rabasa Sara A. Daly Kim Cragin Heather S. Gregg
Examines violent terrorist groups that, while not formally allied with al-Qaeda, could pose a threat to Americans now or in the future and to the security of our friends and allies. The authors show how terrorists use criminal organizations and connections to finance their activities, and they identify distinct strategies to neutralize or mitigate these threats.
Building Moderate Muslim Networksby Angel Rabasa Peter Sickle Cheryl Benard Lowell H. Schwartz
Radical and dogmatic interpretations of Islam have gained ground in recent years in many Muslim societies via extensive Islamist networks spanning the Muslim world and the Muslim diaspora communities of North America and Europe. Although a majority throughout the Muslim world, moderates have not developed similar networks to amplify their message and to provide protection from violence and intimidation. With considerable experience fostering networks of people committed to free and democratic ideas during the Cold War, the United States has a critical role to play in leveling the playing field for Muslim moderates. The authors derive lessons from the U.S. and allied Cold War network-building experience, determine their applicability to the current situation in the Muslim world, assess the effectiveness of U.S. government programs of engagement with the Muslim world, and develop a "road map" to foster the construction of moderate Muslim networks.
Democratization in the Arab World: Prospects and Lessons from Around the Globeby Tewodaj Mengistu Julie E. Taylor Stephanie Pezard Angel Rabasa F. Stephen Larrabee Jeffrey Martini Laurel E. Miller
Daunting challenges lie ahead for Arab countries where revolutions have upended longstanding authoritarian regimes. This monograph aims to help policymakers understand the challenges ahead, form well-founded expectations, shape diplomatic approaches, and take practical steps to foster positive change.
Deradicalizing Islamist Extremistsby Stacie L. Pettyjohn Christopher Boucek Jeremy J. Ghez Angel Rabasa
Measures to prevent vulnerable individuals from radicalizing and to rehabilitate those who have already embraced Islamist extremism have been implemented in several Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian, and European countries. This monograph describes and assesses the strengths and weaknesses of these programs and proposes steps that can be taken to promote and accelerate deradicalization processes.
From Insurgency to Stability: Volume I: Key Capabilities and Practicesby John Gordon Angel Rabasa Audra K. Grant Peter Chalk Christopher S. Chivvis
This book identifies the procedures and capabilities that the U.S. Department of Defense, other agencies of the U.S. government, U.S. allies and partners, and international organizations require in order to support the transition from counterinsurgency, when the military takes primary responsibility for security and economic operations, to stability and reconstruction, when police and civilian government agencies take the lead.
From Insurgency to Stability: Volume II: Insights from Selected Case Studiesby John Gordon Peter Chalk Angel Rabasa K. Scott Mcmahon Audra K. Grant
This book examines six case studies of insurgencies from around the world to determine the key factors necessary for a successful transition from counterinsurgency to a more stable situation. The authors review the causes of each insurgency and the key players involved, and examine what the government did right--or wrong--to bring the insurgency to an end and to transition to greater stability.
Indonesia's Transformation and the Stability of Southeast Asiaby Peter Chalk Angel Rabasa
Indonesia, the world's fourth most populous country, is undergoing a profound transformation that could lead to a variety of outcomes, from the consolidation of democracy to return to authoritarianism or military rule, to radical Islamic rule, or to violent disintegration. The stakes are high, for Indonesia is the key to Southeast Asian security. The authors examine the trends and dynamics that are driving Indonesia's transformation, outline possible strategic futures and their implications for regional stability, and identify options the United States might pursue in the critical challenge of influencing Indonesia's future course. Steps the United States might take now include support for Indonesia's stability and territorial integrity, reestablishment of Indonesian-U.S. military cooperation and interaction, aid in rebuilding a constructive Indonesian role in regional security, and support for development of a regional crisis reaction force. A continued strong U.S. presence in the Asia-Pacific region will reinforce the U.S. role as regional balancer.
The Lessons of Mumbaiby Robert D. Blackwill C. Christine Fair Peter Chalk Angel Rabasa Kim Cragin
This study of the Mumbai, India, terrorist attack of November 2008 identifies the operational and tactical capabilities displayed by the terrorists and evaluates the response of the Indian security forces, with the goal of helping counterterrorism authorities in India and elsewhere to prepare for or counter future terrorist attacks on urban centers.
The Military and Democracy in Indonesia: Challenges, Politics, and Powerby John Haseman Angel Rabasa
The military is one of the few institutions that cut across the divides of Indonesian society. As it continues to play a critical part in determining Indonesia's future, the military itself is undergoing profound change. The authors of this book examine the role of the military in politics and society since the fall of President Suharto in 1998. They present several strategic scenarios for Indonesia, which have important implications for U.S.-Indonesian relations, and propose goals for Indonesian military reform and elements of a U.S. engagement policy.
Money in the Bank: Lessons Learned from Past Counterinsurgency (COIN) Operationsby Angel Rabasa Ivan Khilko Lesley Anne Warner Paraag Shukla Peter Chalk
Six historic counterinsurgency (COIN) operations are examined to determine which tactics, techniques, and procedures led to success and which to failure. The Philippines, Algeria, Vietnam, El Salvador, Jammu and Kashmir, and Colombia were chosen for their varied characteristics relating to geography, historical era, outcome, type of insurgency faced, and level of U.S. involvement. Future U.S. COIN operations can learn from these past lessons.
The Muslim World After 9/11by Angel Rabasa Eric V. Larson Cheryl Y. Marcum Matthew Waxman
Momentous events since September 11, 2001-Operation Enduring Freedom, the global war on terrorism, and the war in Iraq-have dramatically altered the political environment of the Muslim world. Many of the forces influencing this environment, however, are the products of trends that have been at work for many decades. This book examines the major dynamics that drive changes in the religio-political landscape of the Muslim world-a vast and diverse region that stretches from Western Africa through the Middle East to the Southern Philippines and includes Muslim communities and diasporas throughout the world-and draws the implications of these trends for global security and U.S. and Western interests. It presents a typology of ideological tendencies in the different regions of the Muslim world and identifies the factors that produce religious extremism and violence. It assesses key cleavages along sectarian, ethnic, regional, and national lines and examines how those cleavages generate challenges and opportunities for the United States. Finally, the authors identify possible strategies and political and military options for the United States to pursue in response to changing conditions in this critical and volatile part of the world.
Radical Islam in East Africaby Angel Rabasa
American geopolitical interests and the potential threats to those interests are both on the rise in East Africa. The author places the spread of militant Islamism and the development of radical Islamist networks in East Africa in the broader context of the social, economic, and political factors that have shaped the region's security environment.
The Rise of Political Islam in Turkeyby F. Stephen Larrabee Angel Rabasa
Turkey, a Muslim-majority country, is pivotal to Western security interests in the Middle East. Its ruling party, the AKP, has Islamic roots but operates within a framework of strict secular democracy, which has generated controversy over the boundaries between secularism and religion. This monograph describes the politico-religious landscape in Turkey and evaluates how the balance between secular and religious forces has changed over the past decade.
Ungoverned Territories: Understanding and Reducing Terrorism Risksby Steven Boraz Angel Rabasa Kim Cragin Peter Chalk Theodore W. Karasik

AMC is a programmable compiler/preprocessor. It has a built-in programming language called CGL (Code Generation Language) that lets you add new syntactical elements to the source files that AMC processes. In addition, AMC has a module structure reminescent of the UCSD p-System compiler. AMC comes with a default package that adds a dynamic form of OOP to C.
GNU Make examines the timestamps on a set of interdependent files, and, if necessary, issues commands to bring them up-to-date. The user creates a makefile describing the files, their relationships, and the commands to run. Most often make is used to rebuild libraries and programs when their sources are changed, but it can be used for any situation where one set of files needs to be generated from another set.
JExpress is a Java installer builder and auto-updater. It gives you your choice of a standalone installer, including both native and cross platform installers and updaters for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and Solaris, or a Java Web Start one-click install. You create your installer quickly with your choice of a simple wizard or a powerful advanced interface, both included. You can bundle the exact JVM you want with your installer. The auto-updater gives you a continuous revenue stream after the sale. Your software is always up-to-date, so your customers have fewer problems. You also get all the features you expect in a top end installer. Your Java application becomes a native program just like any other. On Windows it's an EXE, on Mac OS X an app bundle, etc. If you need something really special, you can customize your installer by adding simple Java classes. You can even get a source license at a reasonable price.

Applications are source code compatible across Windows 98/Me/NT/2000/XP/XP Embedded/Server 2003/CE, Linux, Solaris, and VxWorks.
Makefiles is a high-level build system and suite of portability tools. It is meant to be easier to use than autoconf and generally superior. The package contains a set of rules that allows you to compile structured projects with small and uniformly structured makefiles. All rules are located in a central directory. Compiling the projects on different platforms can be done simultaneously without having to modify any of the makefiles that are located in the projects directories.
TkSQL allows you to edit the tables of PostgreSQL and MySQL databases. You can use it from the shell prompt, specifying the name of a table, or an SQL satement, or just the name of a database. It has filter capabilities which are very easy to use. Two views are possible (tables and form) and both views can coexist. TkSQL can edit a join of two tables (limited to the first of such tables). Totals and subtotals can be done quickly, and displayed inline with the data or in a separate window. Queries can be created in no time and all working conditions can be saved at once (comprising subtotals, relative time constraints, layout, etc.). It also provides basic tools for creating tables.
