Making Babies using Free online Generators
If you came here looking for instructions on how to use free baby maker applications then you are in luck. We have the most up to date information on free baby picture makers, baby prediction software, facial recognition and genetic analyzing technology found on the web.
Before you get started using the many free baby pictures websites out there, I want to discuss some basics to make the process a lot easier for you.
Getting your pictures ready -
1. In order to get the best looking and most accurate result as possible you are going to want to make sure your photos are prepared correctly. You want to select images that show the face without hair or objects blocking any of the facial features. You also want your face to be showing up in most of the area in the picture.
2. Check the file sizes of the images you intend to make babies with. If they are bigger than 1 MB I would highly recommend reducing the file sizes before making your babies. The larger the pictures the longer it is going to take to generate your images and sometimes the servers can timeout. If you don't have any software to resize your images, search on Google for "Free picture resizer."
Now that your photos are ready to be uploaded into the baby maker program, it's time to choose the right baby picture predicting software to use. There are several quality applications out there right now that are free, but almost all of them require user registration or downloads. The best free baby picture making website that is fast and easy is called http://www.BabyPictureMaker.com
Not only does the website utilize the lastest in facial recognition and genetics technology, but it is incredibly accurate and only takes a matter of seconds before creating your future child's picture.
Once you get to the website, navigate to the easy baby creator form and select your images. Choose one picture for the Mother and another for the Father then click Make Babies. It takes a moment for the software to finish working, but you will be presented with a very realistic portrayal of what your future child could look like based on several key genetics and facial features.
Be sure to share your new baby's picture on Facebook and other social networks to show your friends!

Fab stay at this hotel where staff are just so genuinely friendly. Buffet breakfast decent and lovely club sandwich. With it being 5 star, food was... faIrly pricey and prohibited us from having dinner there although there were plenty of restaurants within walking distance so this wasn't an issue. Also, the charges for tours was far higher than could be brought at local tour operators eg. we were quoted $360 for a DMZ tour which we got for $125 locally. We had a great affordable rate paying 2 nights for 3 nights stay, our room was on 14th floor giving us wonderful view of Hue City so would stay at this hotel again despite our comments above. Please be aware of cyclos as we did use one once and got stitched up with the overall charge being far higher than what we thought we had agreed. بواسطة L & G Holiday من Essex بتاريخ 2013/03/26

From Teasing to Torment Documents Student Experiences of Bullying and Harassment in Pennsylvania Schools
New York, NY - GLSEN, or the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network, today released From Teasing to Torment: A Profile of School Climate in Pennsylvania, a report that provides a rare look into student experiences with bullying and harassment in Pennsylvania schools. The results are based on students in Pennsylvania who were surveyed as part of a national study of secondary school students and teachers conducted by Harris Interactive(r) and GLSEN's research department.
"This report highlights that there is a lot of work to be done in Pennsylvania to ensure safe schools for all students," said Kevin Jennings, Founder and Executive Director of GLSEN, author of the recently released memoir, Mama's Boy, Preacher's Son. "With harassment and assault reported to be higher in schools without comprehensive anti-harassment policies, the question is why don't more Pennsylvania schools have such policies, and why doesn't the state implement comprehensive legislation that protects all of its students?" Key findings from the report include: Biased language was frequently heard in Pennsylvania schools Bullying, name-calling, and harassment are serious problems in Pennsylvania schools Comprehensive policies and resources in Pennsylvania schools are lacking Methodology Student interviews were conducted online by a nationally representative sample of 3,450 public and private/parochial students ages 13 to 18. Within this sample, an oversample of students was drawn from Pennsylvania (with a sample size of 218), Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Missouri, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, and Virginia. Interviews averaged 15 minutes and were conducted between January 13 and January 31, 2005. Sample was drawn from the Harris Poll Online (HPOL) multimillion member online panel of cooperative respondents from over one hundred countries. Invitations for this study were emailed to a selected sample of the database identified as residing in the United States and being a student between the ages of 13 and 18. Data for the national survey were weighted to reflect the national population of children ages 13 to 18 for key demographic variables (gender, age, race and ethnicity, size of place, region, and parent's education). Demographic weights were based on U.S. Census data obtained via the March 2004 Current Population Survey (CPS). For the national survey, a post weight was applied to the student data to adjust for the twelve state oversampling so that the regional distribution reflects the nation as a whole. State-specific data, including that which is presented in this report, does not reflect this postweight.

POMEROY — Last fall when a landslide behind the Howard and Geneva Nolan Annex to the Meigs County Museum occurred, mud and water flooded the annex causing damage inside the building.
Exhibits had to be removed in order for repairs to be made and the carpet had to be replaced.
However, the threat that more water might get into the Annex has troubled Museum personnel and its Board of Director. There was some thought as to how there could be a temporary fix while village personnel decide how to permanently stabilize the hillside and the drainage of water which might again trigger a mudslide.
It was Boy Scouts Joe McCall and Chris Parker who came up with an idea on how to hold back anything which might come off the hill in the future and prevent water from getting into the annex.
Members of Greg McCall's scout troop, others who had been involved in scouting over the years, and family members took on the project. They were joined by several volunteers knowledgeable in construction to erect a low wall with railroad ties fastened down with re-bar completely across the back of the Annex building. They first had to move all the debris, clean the area and then built the wall.
To complete the project, Mike Parker laid drainage pipe to direct the water into the village sewer lines.

Although we feel that the best way to get to know us is through our work, we also know that it's important to talk about the individuals who collectively define Lucidia.
We're a growing agency, located in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. We work hard, we're proud of the work we do and we're not interested in being good. We strive to be great.
We believe that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. No one's single identity comes through in our work, but rather what we create is a by-product of our teamwork. And we're including our clients in that. We enjoy working with, rather than working for people.
The environment at Lucidia is often one of controlled chaos, fun, and excitement; and we have the stories to prove it. No, we're not going to tell them here. You have to be an insider first.
Speaking of which, we're always on the lookout for new talent and big dreamers. So take a look at our work, and see what we're all about. If you think you have something to offer, then we'd love to hear from you.
Consider Lucidia and send us your resume.
Tell us about yourself and ask questions about us. Don't hold back either. Really think about what you want to achieve in your career. If your resume speaks to us, then we'll be in touch.
Below you will find a list of roles here at Lucidia. We'd be interested in hearing from you if you see a position you're interested in.
Sault Ste. Marie is a city of 80,000 people, three hours from Sudbury, and eight hours from Thunder Bay. In other words, we're surrounded by a lot of trees. And yes, it does snow here. Without fail, winter comes every year, but that's fine because everything that's good about winter is very accessible here.
In less than an hour you can be boarding down wide-open slopes, stepping out on snowshoe trails or snowmobiling for days and never see the same tree twice.
In the summer it gets hot, but without all the humidity of Southern Ontario. In fact, each season in this part of the country is intense, and there's always something to do. If you like camping, fishing, hiking or any outdoor activity, then you'll love the Sault.
Now, just in case you think we're sounding a little too remote, we get the same concerts, events, and festivals that you'll find in most places in Ontario. And we love our sports too. Just ask any Soo Greyhounds fan. By the way, did you know that Gretzky played for the Soo Greyhounds?
Sault Ste. Marie also has the cost of living beat, and you can usually get to work from anywhere in the city in under 20 minutes (including the elevator ride). For the cost of renting an apartment in Toronto, you can buy a house here, and a nice one at that.
It's not for everyone, but we love it here. You can even check out some of the work we've done that features the best of life in Northern Ontario and Sault Ste. Marie.

They participate on creative projects, including illustrations and designs for print and web-based projects, carrying the direction and tone as established by the Art Director and other senior members of the Design Team. They prepare files and projects in pre-press ready formats and troubleshoot issues with printers.
They work efficiently on multiple projects to meet tight deadlines by implementing quick revisions to match a client's, Art Director's or Senior Designer's requests. They work with Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and other graphic design software to produce designs and creative output, while taking into account print and web technical guidelines.

The West Coast Convergence for Climate Justice and Action is part of an annual series of climate convergences & climate camps all over the world.
Climate camps started in August 2006, when 600 people gathered at the UK's biggest single source of carbon dioxide, Drax coal-fired power station in West Yorkshire for ten days of learning and sustainable living, which culminated in a day of mass action against the power station. Their aim was to kick-start a social movement to tackle climate change.
Climate camps are the place for anyone who wants to take action on climate change; for anyone who's fed up with empty government rhetoric and corporate spin; for anyone who's worried that the small steps they're taking aren't enough to match the scale of the problem; and for anyone who's worried about our future and wants to do something about it. Every camp weaves four key themes: education, direct action, sustainable living, and building a movement to effectively tackle climate change both resisting climate crimes and developing sustainable solutions. Because the future is not what it used to be.
This year there will be camps in England, Scotland, Wales, Ireland, Australia, France, Belgium, Denmark, Switzerland, Finland, India, Ukraine, and the United States.
Climate Convergence is sponsored by the following companies:

4-on-4 Basketball
Increase your speed and space on the basketball court with 4-on-4 basketball. The game is on the line. Do you drive the lane or pull up for a jumper with two seconds to go? Make use of a half-court system that will ramp up the intensity of the game while still using some of the same techniques of the 5-on-5 version. If you're a recreational player, 4-on-4 basketball is perfect because of the unstructured nature of the game. If you're a more competitive player, you will enjoy the faster pace gained with 4-on-4. Fill out a sign-up form to join a 4-on-4 basketball team.
Team rosters must be co-ed and may contain no less than 4 and no more than 6 players.
The Game:
Each team must have 4 players present to start the game.
The playing court shall be one half of the basketball court.
A game will begin with both teams agreeing on one player to shoot for possession. If the player makes the shot they have first ball, but if the shot is missed, the first ball goes to the opposing team.
Each game will consist of 20 points by one team or 20 minutes, whichever comes first.
Baskets are worth 1 point or 2 points if scored behind the three point arc. Teams will be responsible for keeping their own score.
If you score, you exchange possession and the defending team starts with the ball.
No foul shots will be taken.
If the offense hits the rim in an attempted shot and the defense rebounds the ball, they need to take the ball out to the 3-point line via pass or dribble, before trying to score. If a shot is attempted with no contact to the rim, and the defense rebounds the ball, no clearance is required.
Putting the Ball in Play:
Following each dead ball period, once the ball is given to the offensive team by the defense, play may begin.
After checking the ball with his/her opponent the offensive player must pass to a teammate before attempting to score.
A player who is fouled shall be responsible for calling the foul.
The penalty for a foul shall be to award the possession of the ball to the team who was fouled.
If opponents disagree about a foul/non-foul, the player in possession shall shoot, from the free throw line. If the basket is made they will keep possession of the ball if it is not made possession will be turned over. Note: No points will be awarded if the free throw is made.
Tie Game:
If a game is tied after 20 minutes, teams will shoot at the top of the key for possession of the ball. Play will continue with the first team scoring a basket winning.

The envelope of the building exerts an important influence on the energetic characteristics, the utility and the aesthetic effect of the structure. Windows as a component of the envelope, with their physical characteristics and their functions, significantly determine the utility of the building and the wellbeing of the people who spend time in it.
With keywords like natural ventilation, night cooling, extraction of passive solar energy, daylight control, noise abatement and reduction of primary energy the facade has become an essential component of the building ecology. Louvre windows and louvre facades meet these requirements perfectly.
There are only a few manufacturers around the world and just a handful in Germany who are specialised in louvre window systems.
Schneider noelke is definitely a key player in this very special market.
It was in 2009 when Winco Systems Australia and Schneider Noelke Germany decided to team up to service the Australian market.
The success in a short period of time is obvious: already more than 100 clients decided to integrate the product in their projects, which span from residential, schools, universities, research institutes, community facilities, hospitals to commercial high rise inner city buildings.
The key behind the demand for this particular manufacturer is the huge variety of types of louvre windows on offer: Including Framless; Framed and Double Glazed Systems.
If nature were cosy,
people wouldn't have invented architecture.

{Some brazen shady fool dared to boldly instruct me on how angry I should be...They have never met me and know nothing about me, as always. They assumed that I am talking to myself herein because they are late!... I have been online long before blogs existed and my peers still prefer my private emailed responses (email@example.com)... They assumed I am defined by my blog. This blog is my yoga. It channels my anger. It houses my rebel research. It keeps me sane. It allows me to evade sniping on arrogantly ignorant, clueless, cowardly, and envious fools who dare to try to temper me and ruin my blog...Enjoy!}
-"To be conscious in America is to be in a constant state of rage..."
-James Baldwin
I have the divine right to own my anger. But, contrary to the misconceptions of many cowards and fools, my life is filled with much more than that anger which I proudly own. The essence of life is to embrace all emotions. Life is filled with joy and pain. Just as I am angered by the pain in this world, I am blessed by many of its joys.
When I am not penning this column, I am basking in the following joys:
GOD- I am not religious. All religions are man made. I am very spiritual. My God is universal and has blessed me with unique power and purpose. My spirit and soul soar daily due to my spiritual connection to God.
LOVE- I have been blessed to know wonderful family, many dear friends, and a sacred wife. All of these special persons know me as a loyal Leo with a ferocious sense of humor. The passion of my anger is surpassed by my passion for life. I love and laugh as deeply as I rant and rebel. Just as I am in touch with my ancient warrior spirits, I am deeply in touch with my eternal inner child.
INDEPENDENCE- I have been blessed with superior education and exciting jobs. I have always managed to maintain my integrity within progressive corporations. I have been blessed with jobs that do not consume my soul. I will always strive to sell my skills without selling my soul.
HOME- I have been blessed with my own address since I was 16. I am still blessed to be childless and free. I am a Leo with Cancer rising and a Taurus moon. That makes me a home body who enjoys lavish times in luxury. The decor in my home is an artistic tribute to African women.
MUSIC- I have been blessed to create, produce and host a radio show which has celebrated the musical and literary voices of black women since 1989. I own a personal music library that can hold its own against any other anywhere in the world. Music heals and energizes me. It is as necessary to my living as oxygen.
BOOKS- I have always loved to read. I am blessed with the time to read at least five books weekly. I live at libraries and bookstores. I collect books and cherish my own eclectic library.
FILMS- I cherish my DVD & VCR. I collect films. Only my music library can rival my video library. I adore African and foreign classics like "Sankofa" and "Black Orpheus". And, I own every film Pam Grier ever made.
FOOD- I was born into a family of professional chefs. I adore Mandarin Chinese cuisine. I adore soul food and African cuisine also. I am a French fluent francophile. My wife is a gourmet chef who cooks collard greens as perfectly as croque monsieur. As a diabetic, my food is literally my life and death. My dietary discipline is a constant and mandatory struggle.
Whenever I am slandered by those who view my complex spirit through the limitations of their own blinding cowardice, sexism, homohatred, pacifism, and arrogant ignorance, I recall the poetry of Ossie Davis, in his eternal eulogy to the equally maligned Malcolm X:
"Many will ask what Harlem finds to honor in this stormy, controversial and bold young captain...and we will smile...They will say that he is of hate, a fanatic, a racist, who can only bring evil to the cause for which you struggle! And, we will answer and say unto them: Did you ever talk to Brother Malcolm? Did you ever touch him, or have him smile at you? Was he ever associated with violence or any public disturbance? For if you did, you would know him. And if you knew him, you would know why we must honor him...He was and is a Prince, our own Black Shining Prince!...who didn't hesitate to die, because he loved us so..."
Like those who know Malcolm, those who know me know that my eloquent fury is only one small part of my superior whole. Those fellow warriors who share my cypher know that my love, soulfulness, kindness, warmth, and passion are far greater than my righteous anger. Like Malcolm X, I will continue to be regal in my rage. And, I will continue to love all those who love me...Power to the People!!!

I had a client call me the other day as he was having an issue with a couple of his SharePoint 2010 sites that seemed strange, the sites just stopped working. When anyone tried to access the sites, they would get HTTP 500 errors. I was able to resolve this issue for the client so I thought I should share some of my troubleshooting tips.

A database attach upgrade is the only supported method for upgrading SharePoint 2010 Products to SharePoint 2013 (unless you use a third-party migration tool). Database attach is used to upgrade SharePoint content and service applications. I was doing some testing with doing database attach upgrades from SharePoint 2010 to SharePoint 2013 and found an issue.
As a sales professional, here are 25 reasons why I love working with Microsoft Dynamics CRM (and why you should love it too)! Dynamics CRM automates every aspect of my job, making it easy to find and sort through information that I need...
The idea of web resources has always been a little overwhelming to me. In the past I associated them with something a programmer uses for the wonderful, amazing magic they do in Microsoft Dynamics CRM. As it turns out, even those of us who don't consider ourselves to be hard-core programmers have the ability to take advantage of web resources.
At C5 Insight, we use ClickDimensions with Microsoft Dynamics CRM for our email marketing and marketing automation. Recently we decided to upgrade to the newest version of ClickDimensions to take advantage of their new features. Much to our surprise, many of our Lead Source picklist values in Dynamics CRM got changed during the upgrade. As you can imagine, this made us a little nervous. After some investigating, we discovered the problem and learned a little-known limitation of managed solutions in Dynamics CRM.
This post will walk you through all the steps you need to configure an animated sliding accordion using the standard out-of-the-box SharePoint 2010 navigation functionality. It is pretty simple to do, you just need one line of CSS, a reference to jQuery and a few lines of JavaScript. Each section of the accordion will expand and collapse when clicked on, and only one section can be open at a time. It will automatically open if you are on a page that is linked to from your left navigation, to help your users navigate your site.
With so many technology consulting firms to choose from, it is often difficult for decision-makers to sort through the options and offerings and determine the best partner for their organization. Over the past 15 years in the IT industry and business applications realm, I've noticed some key traits that set top consulting firms apart. I hope my insights will help you make the right decision for your organization.
I got a call from a client recently where one particular user was unable to login to SharePoint via their User Principle Name (UPN).For those non-AD SharePoint folks out there, UPN refers to an attribute on the user account object in Active Directory. Anytime a user is created, at a minimum they will have a user logon name and a UPN suffix (domain name). The UPN is composed of the user logon name and the UPN suffix joined by the @ sign. Read on to see how I quickly resolved this issue.
For the IE users out there, I'm sure you've come across this dialog once or twice in your life. On several of our recent client projects I've been involved with, we've been doing a lot of changing over from unsecure to secure URLs via SSL certificates in SharePoint. Invariably, as soon as you enable SSL and log in to SharePoint, you get this wonderful prompt: Do you want to view only the webpage content that was delivered securely? Find out how to get rid of this for good...
"Paralysis by analysis" means having so much data that it becomes difficult to take any action. And it is an issue that organizations frequently run into with getting users to adopt a customer relationship management solution. Users see long lists of activities, leads, opportunities, cases and accounts - and they don't know where to begin to manage their day in the CRM system. The results can be devastating to the bottom line and often include: failing to work the best leads, opportunities slipping through the cracks, key customers being ignored and follow-up commitments aren't met. Ultimately, it may lead your team to abandon CRM and go back to more familiar ways to manage relationships.
Our team recently took on a client that had several Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 online deployments. Due to this particular client's complex business model and wide range of verticals, segregation has been required on every level of the project. When we were contacted to setup another Dynamics CRM deployment on their behalf, the fairly self-sufficient client told us that he failed to move a Dynamics CRM Solution from an earlier deployment to the newest deployment. Once I got in their CRM system and started digging around, I discovered why he believed the solution import had failed.
Customer relationship management (CRM) projects are particularly difficult to successfully deliver. In fact, research into CRM project failures over the last 10 years has consistently found a failure rate between 30% and 70%. A quick scan of the proposals that we have delivered to new clients for CRM projects over the past 12 months shows that fully 59% of new clients who approach us are dealing with a need to administer CPR on their CRM implementation. This is true across all CRM products (we have seen failed CRM projects across virtually every CRM solution on the market). In this article I'll take a look at one of the most frequent causes of failure that we have encountered and will offer some guidance for avoiding this (or for recovering if you're already there). I will also be doing a deeper dive into this topic during our CPR for CRM Webcast.
On a recent project I got to work with the out-of-the-box (OOTB) Chart Web Part in SharePoint 2010. My team just needed to chart some simple data, nothing fancy, but we had some fairly specific styling requirements. We tried Web parts from other vendors they already had and got close, but we just couldn't get there. Luckily we were upgrading to Enterprise anyway, so that allowed us to use the Chart Web Part that comes with SharePoint OOTB.
In this post I explain how to use PowerShell to create a full SharePoint (2010 or 2013) training site or testing site environment. This is the proccess I used to prepare for a recent SharePoint training course where I needed each of my users to have their own site collection in my environment.
We use dashboards very heavily internally and have recently expanded our set of core metrics and KPIs to be about 12-15 charts and graphs (depending on special events we may have, etc.). In this post I will tell you about a fairly quick way to create rotating dashboards with SharePoint. SharePoint is the perfect solution for our needs because it allows us to stay within our core systems and leverage the platform.
While many people have enjoyed the "You Might be a Redneck If" jokes by Jeff Foxworthy, few people are aware of the applicability to the IT community. As a professional IT consultant for C5 Insight, I have saved a number of clients from unfortunate situations caused by their previous, not-so-qualified consulting partners.
In a few days, Microsoft will be hosting their annual event focused on Microsoft Dynamics CRM—Microsoft Convergence 2013. This is a valuable event for organizations that are either using or are considering Microsoft CRM. Read on for more reasons on why you should attend Convergence.
Successful user adoption, or the mental acceptance and use of something new, can be achieved in any organization. There are a number of methods that can be used to implement new systems, including "big bang" (single rollout) or "phased adoption" (gradual rollout). Regardless of the method you use to rollout user adoption in your organization, there are a few important items that must be factored into your plan.
Microsoft's Rollup 12 is not as forgiving as previous versions when it comes to the Currency field. After applying Rollup 12 to an on-premise instance of Dynamics CRM 2011 (this one happened to be running the Internet Facing Deployment deployment) but not enabling the Enhanced User Experience (aka Flow UI), we noticed that we could no longer qualify leads.
Over the time I've been using SharePoint, I've been taking notes on the tools and that make my job a little bit easier. Lately I've focused on collecting a ton of tips for working with branding in SharePoint2010. To help other people working with branding in SharePoint, I thought I should share some of my information.
On a recent client engagement, we had a somewhat common requirement that we had solved several times before. It was part of a multi-month complete extranet solution with extensive branding and user interface design/layout. The site's overall feel from a UI and design perspective was intuitive, sleek and quite honestly, beautiful. Although the particular requirement wasn't overly complex or new to our team, we decided to solve this using an approach we had never tried before to maintain the sleek look and feel of the site.
In deployments with a decent amount of workflows that fire constantly (i.e., system jobs are spawned), the amount of records placed in the AsyncOperationBase table is quite impressive. However, when these system jobs complete (canceled or succeeded) they remain in this table until you decide to purge them. When these tables begin to grow into the millions of rows it imposes undue performance issues on the Async service and overall system performance may suffer as well.
I often find myself talking to a frustrated prospect who has just endured a disastrous implementation, and often he or she is looking to me to save them from their current partner/vendor. Coming into these situations, it seems there is an expectation that I will ride in on my white horse, rescue them and we will gallop off into the sunset with all of their IT problems behind us. If only it were that easy.
There isn't a day that goes by, where I come across some type of challenge, situation, issue, or piece of new learning that isn't worth sharing with others. This article encourages you to blog, explains why it's important, and provides ideas on how to make it a natural part of your day.
Receiving a Request for Proposal (RFP) or Request for Quotation (RFQ) is generally thought of the same way as a dental appointment — a dreaded but necessary activity. As a result, most sales professionals maintain the belief that it's OK to slap a response onto a couple pages in response to the RFP because they have such a great bond with the prospect. I don't agree with this mindset and I'd suggest those professionals should consider a more systematic approach.
In our day-to-day client work, one topic we are very passionate about is user adoption. We talk about this topic both internally and externally on a daily basis. After all, we should never forget for whom we are solving problems and building solutions. Put another way - if a car manufacturer builds 1,000 cars and no one buys them, then what was the point?
If you're like a lot of other folks, you've taken advantage of the Managed Metadata functionality in SharePoint. You've created your taxonomy group, specified your term sets, and created some terms. Then you've created your managed metadata column in your site collection, and pointed it to your specified term set. You've then uploaded a lot of documents and specified terms for the metadata column, everyone is "happy happy happy".
But then you need to rename one of your terms currently called "Information Technology Department" to just "Information Technology". No sweat, you go into the Term Store tool, rename the term. Done right? To your surprise, when you look at properties of various documents tagged with your term, they haven't been renamed. Hmm … what gives?
As a company that provides customer relationship management (CRM) services, we're big advocates of using your CRM system to track and approve sales commissions. But sometimes it can be impractical to do this. This is particularly true in complex organizations, small organizations or fast-growing organizations where you need the flexibility to quickly adapt your commission model to a changing situation in the marketplace. Long-term, everyone should aim to handle commissions in their CRM system, but what do these organizations do in the short-term?
The good news is that SharePoint is an excellent tool for giving you all of the flexibility you need, while still having an efficient process for setting, tracking and distributing commissions. Here's how it can work for you.
I was working with PowerShell to update a managed metadata field that accepted multiple values in a publishing page library today and it was more difficult than it seemed like it should have been, so I'm posting here what actually worked for me. It turned out to be much simpler than I was trying to make it.
Using Global Option sets in CRM 2011 can simplify the process of mapping option sets. But what if you have a local option set in one entity and a global option set in another? This blog explains how to map data from a local option set in one entity to the equivalent in another via workflow.
On a recent project, I hit an issue with databases that was interesting. We were restoring a lot of databases over to a development environment from production, as well as the managed metadata database. I had gone through the whole deal, backed up the database in the old server, restored it to the development SQL server, etc. There was an issue with the Managed Metadata service that required to have service application re-created. This lead to a situation where the service application database was unprovisioned, but not deleted.
So, if you have ever moved a calendar from one place to another, either as part of a site move or a list move, you will be greeted by the fact that your calendar overlays no longer work because the URLs to the overlaying calendars are hardcoded into the list view. This calendar had 3 overlays and there are other calendars with more overlays. I am trying to set up an automated restore from production to development, so having lots of broken calendars isn't great. Fortunately, all you have to do is run a few lines of PowerShell to fix this.
Our Project Managers use Microsoft CRM to manage and track all of our projects – including the project plans, financials, time tracking and expenses. When combined with SharePoint, our Agile Project Management solution has become a great way to carefully track all the details of our projects and communicate with our clients. During a recent update to this solution, our Project Managers asked us if we could use a different view for the Time Tracking entity than the associated view.
After doing a bit of research we found that this is possible to some extent, but it is not well documented. So here are some options for changing the associated view on a specific Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 form.
I don't believe Microsoft Expression ever had a huge following from web developers and graphics designers, but it served a purpose. Whether you liked it, hated or loved it, Microsoft has done what it does best again.
In case you haven't visited their website lately, you will notice some major changes with Expression. Basically, they are rolling the Expression products into Visual Studio 2012 and beyond, forgoing the standalone tools. For the time being, they made Expression Web 4, Expression Design 4 and Expression Encoder 4 free for download. That may not be a big deal to some, but I think it could prove useful to some.
Microsoft Excel is an amazing tool both in terms of the diversity of functions that it can provide and in the depth of data analytics and business intelligence that it makes available to people at every level of an organization. But too often businesses find that they are using it to solve problems that are much more complex that Excel was intended to solve - and paying a price in terms of employee productivity and costly decisions made using bad data.
So how do you know you've taken your Excel application too far? And what do you do about it?
Why should you care that the mainstream support phase is ending for Dynamics CRM 4.0 in April 2013? Read this article to understand what this really means for your deployment of CRM 4.0 on-premise, and how you can decide when it's time to upgrade to Dynamics CRM 2011.
So you're going about your business in SharePoint, say when you want to publish an article page. You open the page and click on Publish, and the Schedule option isn't there! Ack! Oh the humanity! If you're uploading a document, the schedule items appear on the edit properties (editform.aspx) dialog.
You may be asking, what scheduling option? Well, it's the option for being able to publish pages at a future date and time and is activated at the document library level. If you have a publishing site, this feature should already be activated on the Pages library. But it can be enabled on any site/library under the right conditions. This is very likely a simple fix. Let's review the items to check.
This article was updated on 1/23/2013 with additional information about UR12.
This article contains the information you need in order to make sure that your CRM is ready for this update.
Calendar Overlays was definitely a welcome new feature when SharePoint 2010 was released. They provide decent basic functionality for being to have a nice view of multiple calendars at once (up to 10 calendars). Suppose you are in a situation where you want to do some calendar overlays, but you only want to show a filtered set of calendar entries on the calendar overlay view? This turns out to be much easier than it might sound. Now you could write a simple workflow that runs on the child list and copies the list item on the child calendar to the parent calendar, but that's not really an overlay is it?
As I said, this is actually extremely easy to configure. It feels like it should be illegal to be this easy, so enjoy the moment! So what do we need to do? Here are the overview steps:
Last week, C5 Insight attended the annual SharePoint Conference in Las Vegas. It was a very full and eventful week, which was the primary reason I did not blog each evening on the daily events as I have in the past. My goal for this blog post is to summarize the overall conference highlights and some of the features that we see as very promising in SharePoint 2013.
While the contacts list is usually filled out for contacts that are outside the company, there are times when you would use a contacts list to store internal and external resources. Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't have to re-type your internal contacts' information that are already in the system? Now you can with a little InfoPath customization on the contacts list.
Here's our plan:
Today I want to welcome you to the world of Flows. We will break this down into a couple different blogs since this is a large topic to cover in one day. However, I first want to introduce you to them and explain how they can assist you in your SFDC organization.
Flows were designed by SFDC to help you create a more complex workflow without having to know or understand APEX. APEX can be very hard to jump into if you are a non-developer, so this is a great alternative for the everyday admin of SFDC. Basically, flows does exactly what it sounds like. It is a guided user experience based upon a set of steps and questions you predefine in your flow. For my example, I set up a flow that will guide a receptionist or a Tier 1 support user through a set of questions that will automatically create a case, activity and update my account with a last contacted date. The goal for setting up this flow is not only creating a better experience for the user to create a Support Case for your customer, but also creating a process in which your users will not miss any details when creating a support case. This also helps to save time for your users with their everyday duties.
Several days ago I wrote a post in response to the successful South Carolina cyber-attack (that earlier post can be found here). Although the security benefits alone are enough to justify starting the move to the cloud, there are numerous other cost-saving and productivity improving reasons for state and local governments to consider making the move.
As I work with various clients with different skill levels with SharePoint, I have on more than one occasion needed to compile a list of training resources. Microsoft (and others) provide a good number of resources so I thought I would try and compile a list in one place. These resources can be a mix of delivery methods including blogs, whitepapers, online videos, tutorials or courses. Let's start with resources for end users, then move to the IT Pros, then to the developers. I started writing this for the purpose of training, but the lists quickly grew to include other resources, so I hope you find it a useful resource.
For the sake of this post, all resources will be for SharePoint 2010. But with the very soon to release SharePoint 2013, I will provide some information in another post. Stay tuned!
Earlier this week it was announced than an international hacker had successfully made off with over 3 million social security numbers and almost 400,000 credit and debit card numbers from the state of South Carolina. State and local governments have collectively spent billions of dollars trying to secure their data systems. In spite of this investment, a hacker was able to identify and exploit a weak spot in their armor. As public sector budgets are continuing to shrink, there is pressure to add more software applications to automate tasks and lower costs; increasing pressure to cut costs on security for these applications; and increasing pressure to extend the life of less secure and aging legacy computer applications. The result is that our government agencies are at increasing risk of successful cyber-terrorism through a greater number of applications, lower security standards, and aging applications that should be replaced.
How could South Carolina and other state and local governments cost-effectively protect vital citizen, business and government records? The answer comes from an emerging private-sector technology: cloud computing.
The latest update rollup for the Dynamics CRM 2011 client fixes some compatibility issues with Outlook 2013. However, we are finding some issues with users that have upgraded from Outlook 2010 to Outlook 2013. There was a similar issue when Office 2010 was released. At that time, we had a client who purchased new computers that had Office 2010 pre-installed, but their corporate standard was Office 2007. They uninstalled Office 2007 and installed Office 2010 – and CRM for Outlook no longer worked.
By now, most of you reading this have likely heard a little about SharePoint 2013, Microsoft's next version of its best-selling collaboration platform. In this short blog, we wanted to highlight some of our favorite features that will be in the next version of SharePoint.

Army training put tourists at risk
A tourist beach outside a popular seaside resort may have been sprayed with machine gun fire during training in which a British Army ranger was shot dead.
Machine gun fire was directed towards Freshwater West Beach, near Tenby, West Wales, in a mistake which could have proved lethal.
The beach, well known to surfers, is less than one and a half miles along the coast from Castlemartin Ranges where the Army trains recruits. Civilians ran the risk of being shot and killed on the day one soldier died after a fatal error.
Soldiers at the shooting ranges are put through highly realistic exercises using live ammunition, in what are supposed to be strictly controlled conditions. But in May last year Michael "Mike" Maguire, 21, was hit in the temple by a single machine gun bullet probably fired from 0.6 miles away.
Ranger Maguire, originally from County Cork, Ireland, was a member of the 1st Battalion, The Royal Irish Regiment. He was standing in a designated safe haven beyond where live fire training was taking place having just finished an exercise himself.
An inquest jury in Cardiff has previously been to the sprawling series of shooting ranges to see where the tragedy happened. They have heard that soldiers shoot out to sea and within specific map co-ordinates which restrict firing to a narrow channel. Evidence suggests a fellow soldier firing a machine gun at a designated target placed on the range hit Ranger Maguire.
Captain Gary Palmer, an Army weapons expert, investigated the tragedy in parallel with the police to ensure later recruits trained safely. He highlighted that soldiers under the command of Lieutenant Jonathan Price had shot outside the safe areas specified.
It meant a machine gunner attacking a static target placed at the range for the exercise shot over land. Ranger Maguire, relaxing 0.6 miles away without his protective helmet and armour, fell within its range. The beach, 1.6 miles north west of where the machine gun was, was also within the same potentially deadly area.
Coroner Ms Hassall said it was hard to understand how such an error could have happened. "How could someone get this so wrong? she asked Cpt Palmer. He said that he had never investigated such an error and could not explain it. "The assumption here must be purely disorientation," he said.
Frantic efforts were made to keep Ranger Maguire alive following the shooting. He was urgently airlifted to hospital in Cardiff but was pronounced dead within 30 minutes of his arrival. The inquest, which is scheduled to run for up to three weeks, continues.

Little Creeper Fatty Trash Fish - $19.99
The Little Creeper Fatty Trash Fish is a fatter more wobbly version of the proven 6" Trash Fish. The Fatty is almost twice as wide at the front end, tapering down to the width of the original at the tail. This gives the it a bigger presence, and the ability to move more water. The Fatty can be easily kept on the surface for a lumbering shallow presentation, or it can be fished at any depth if allowed to sink. It has more body wobble and actually fishes slower than the original Trash Fish. When fished on the bottom, the bait stays upright and rests on it's chin when stopped. Little Creeper recommends using a 7/0 or 8/0 weighted swimbait hook, or the Fatty can also be rigged on a jighead. Give the Little Creeper Fatty Trash Fish a try, it will definitely be another solid fish catching tool in your swimbait arsenal.

Comments: first off these baits flat out work , the reason for the high price is the plastic used to make them is top of the line. its kinda like the old saying u get u pay for , these baits well put bass on the boat
From: Jeremy: Cali
Comments: Absolutely get the Havoc Trash Fish instead...2.99 for 2 and they're high quality/basically identical
From: Tanner: SE, MA
Comments: This bait is just flat out wayyyyy too expencive for what it is. Ok it's a good design, good action, but for this price you should get a free sandwich and a soda.
From: Chuck: N. Bergen, NJ
Comments: the thing about these is they have unique swimming tail action, i like them but price is way too expensive for tearing plastics. That is reason why i don't get them and guys don't buy this in masses, its too expensive for tearing plastic, swim great but they do tear which is reason why i think their way too expensive a soft bait. These are custom and guys is great lure maker but price is out of my range.

Hepatitis B vs. hepatitis C infection on viral hepatitis-associated hepatocellular carcinoma Full Text
BMC Gastroenterology, 06/26/2012
Clinical Article
Hiotis SP et al. – Significant clinical–pathologic differences exist among hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients with underlying hepatitis B virus (HBV) vs. hepatitis C virus (HCV). These differences impact eligibility for potentially–curative therapy and prognosis.
Methods- Patients presenting to a single urban hospital with a new diagnosis of HCC were entered into a clinical database.
- Variables including number and size of tumors, presence of metastases, serum alpha–Fetoprotein, hepatitis serologies, severity of hepatic dysfunction, and presence of cirrhosis were evaluated in 127 patients.
- Patients with hepatitis B (HBV) were more likely to develop HCC at a younger age than patients with hepatitis C (HCV) (HBV–26% under age 40, HCV–0% under age 40; p < 0.001), with greater serum alpha–Fetoprotein production (median level: HBV–1000 ng/ml vs. HCV– 37 ng/ml; p=0.002), with larger tumors (HBV–78% >5 cm, HCV–28% >5 cm; p < 0.001), in the absence of cirrhosis (HBV–40%, HCV–0%; p < 0.001), and a decreased eligibility for curative treatment (HBV–14%, HCV–34%; p < 0.05).
- Conversely, patients with HCV were more likely to develop HCC in association with multiple co–morbidities, cirrhosis, and older age.

In a location as picturesque as Vals, Switzerland, it's difficult to imagine any new construction that wouldn't impose on the beautiful landscape. So when the rare opportunity was granted to construct a new dwelling just a stone's throw away from the famed Vals thermal baths, it was of paramount importance to not disturb the tranquil site. Designed by the architects of SeArch and Christian Müller, this underground house exemplifies the notion that thoughtfully constructed buildings can live in harmony with their surrounding environs.
Situated in the Swiss village of Vals deep in the mountains, the house is almost undetectable. Set below ground, the concrete structure features a wide oval opening that one arrives at via a set of stones steps embedded in the steep incline. At the top of the stairs a central patio is surrounded by a wide spanning façade formed of large window openings, which provide luminous reflections of the Alpine vista on the opposite side of the narrow valley.

@atexasdem: we had similar issues with our off-the-grid SW US home, which required some design compromises. The lending industry had no idea how to deal with us, so we scrimped and paid cash to build, rather than taking out a loan.
But the big upside is that our house became a bank comp that allowed other off-the-grid wannabes to get financing. There are now some really out-of-the-box homes near us, and I'm thrilled at the part we were able to play in that.
This Swiss house is beautiful! As for the bare concrete: meh. Why not exploit the unique, plastic character of the material? Very predictable Swiss approach. Not a lot of fantastic art comes out of that country–too regimented, uptight and xenophobic. And I speak as a respectful Swiss descendent and frequent visitor

the grey interior does not offend me, dressed and complimented as it is by such beautiful fixtures and soft furnishings. I just feel happy they had not felt it necessary to cover it all with expensive obsolete coatings. Congratulations to the designer and owners.

hobbit is indeed what springs to mind.
great effort of reducing the impact of the human dwellings on the landscape. It could also reduce the habitation's carbon footprint because of lesser need to heat up or cool down, but i'm afraid construction costs will be just horrendous -

i love the dining room table. the concrete looks great! i guess its left exposed to maximise thermal mass

Building codes at the moment are the biggest issues I find. Houses built into the earth are fantastic. Living on acreage and working hard to live "off grid" can actually be difficult. I ran into code issues when I wanted to split my waste water into Gray and black waste water systems. When I split my fresh water into potable and non potable systems it was a major issue.
Though a licensed master electrician and contractor I ran into issues with local authorities when I went with solar electrical power.
My hope is that as homes become "greener" and more environmentely sensitive, building codes will be adjusted to reflect and allow it. -

Letter to the Editor
Dear Editor: I am one of the concerned animal lovers in Douglas. I have noticed several dozen stray dogs running around the streets of Douglas and I believe it's turning into a big problem. I'm not going to sugarcoat it at all, people need to stop thinking they are the only ones on terra firma mat count and raise animal awareness.

Sometimes the holders of the renewed earth point of view are characterized as having a "carnal mentality." This view is somehow seen as less than "spiritual" to its critics. A truly spiritual view from that perspective practically necessitates defining "spiritual" as "immaterial." I think the cleavage that has been driven between "material" and "spiritual" does not reflect a biblical mentality. We will come back to this point later.
Some of my critics have pointed out to me that the "pioneers" among the Stone-Campbell Movement were not inspired men. When they tell me this they then recommend that I read the Spiritual Sword or Christian Courier. But the writers in those journals are no more inspired than Lipscomb or Campbell. The inspiration or lack there of is not really the issue however.
For the moment the issue is the characterization of the holders of this view as being "carnally minded." Yet I have a very difficult time believing men like Alexander Campbell, Robert Milligan, Moses Lard, David Lipscomb or James A. Harding were carnally minded men, yet they all held this position .
"Immortality, in the sacred writings, is never applied to the spirit of man. It is not the doctrine of Plato which the resurrection of Jesus is a proof and pledge … Jesus was not a spirit when he returned to God. He is not made the Head of the New Creation as a Spirit, but as the Son of Man … By the word of his power he created the heavens and the earth; by the word of his grace he reanimates the soul of man; and by the word of his power he will again form our bodies anew, and reunite the spirit and the body in the bonds of an incorruptible and everlasting union." (Alexander Campbell, "Regeneration," Millennial Harbinger, 1833, p. 359).
David Lipscomb addressed this issue on many occasions. He has an entire essay called "The Ruin and Redemption of the World" in his book Salvation from Sin. His views are rooted in the kingdom of God and a comprehensive view of the work of Christ. Christ's work is cosmic in scope ... which is what Colossians teaches.
David Lipscomb writes in Salvation from Sin:
"The object of God's dealing with man, and especially the mission of Christ to earth, was to rescue the world from the rule and dominion of the evil one, from the ruin into which it had fallen through sin, and to rehabilitate it with the dignity and the glory it had when it came from the hand of God" (David Lipscomb, Salvation from Sin, p.114, see the entire essay "The Ruin and Redemption of the World" but esp. pp. 115, 117, 126-128; Check out p.137).
Romans 8 figures prominently in any discussion of the Christian hope in heaven. In his commentary on Romans, Lipscomb comments on the meaning of "creation" in 8.19ff. "The 'creation' here means the world, embracing all animated nature below man. (p. 152). Later he writes, "then the whole creation will share this deliverance and be freed from the corruption and mortality to which it has been subjected by the sin of man. It shared the corruption and the mortality of man's sin, and will share his deliverance from it" (p. 153)
