Microsoft today laid out the next phase in its strategy for online services, offering a road map for new offerings that synthesize client, server and services software for people and businesses. These offerings will combine elements of client-based programs with software that runs large servers and new services delivered over the Internet.
Microsoft plans to deliver a wide variety of new solutions during the coming months under two key families of service offerings: "Live" and "Online."
"Live" services from Microsoft are designed primarily for individuals, business end-users and virtual work groups. Live offerings span entertainment, communication and productivity. These services emphasize ease of use, simplicity of access and flexibility, and are ideally suited for situations where people either don't have access to professional technical expertise or don't require high levels of system management.
"Online" services are for organizations with more advanced IT needs where power and flexibility are critical. Online services from Microsoft give businesses the ability to control access to data, manage users, apply business and compliance policy, and meet high availability standards while providing performance, scalability, enhanced security, management features and service-level capabilities to support mission-critical applications and systems. Microsoft is providing business customers with the flexibility to choose between traditional on-premise implementations, services hosted by Microsoft partners and now Online services that reside in Microsoft's datacenters.
Today Microsoft also unveiled the following:
Microsoft Office Live Workspace - a new Web-based feature of Microsoft Office that lets people access their documents online and share their work with others
- Microsoft Exchange Labs - a new research and development program for testing next-generation messaging and unified communications capabilities in high-scale environments
- Continued customer and partner support for Microsoft Dynamics Live CRM
- The renaming of the Microsoft Office Live hosted small-business service, a service dedicated to addressing key small-business pain points, including core IT services and sales and marketing services, to Microsoft Office Live Small Business
- Microsoft BizTalk(R) Services, a building block service that enables developers to rapidly and cost-effectively build composite applications, to help enable greater cost efficiencies and thereby open up new business opportunities for enterprises of all sizes
Further details of the Microsoft Business Division services strategy are available here
Online Services for Businesses
Online offerings are now available to any enterprise with 5,000 or more seats and include the following new services:
- Microsoft Exchange Online
- Microsoft Office SharePoint Online
- Microsoft Office Communications Online
The Online services provide businesses and organizations with more time to focus on business-critical projects while working toward meeting their business, compliance and high availability requirements. Online services will be delivered through Microsoft. Hosted services will be delivered through Microsoft partners as another choice for customers in how they use Microsoft software. Partners can also add value through subscription fees for solutions built on top of Online services through on-premise integration services and through referral and resell fees.
Office Live Workspace: New Web Functionality for Microsoft Office
Office Live Workspace is among the first entries in the new wave of online services. Available at no charge, Office Live Workspace lets people do the following:
- Access documents anywhere. Users can organize documents and projects for work, school and home online, and work on them from almost any computer — even one not connected to the company or school network. They can save more than 1,000 Microsoft Office documents to one place online and access them via the Web.
- Share with others. Users can work collaboratively on a project with others in a password-protected, invitation-only online workspace, helping to eliminate version-control challenges when e-mailing drafts to multiple people. Collaborators who don't have a desktop version of Microsoft Office software can still view and comment on the document in a browser.
- Extend Microsoft Office. Users can easily connect to Microsoft Office Word, PowerPoint, Excel and Outlook on their PC via the Web.
Anyone can pre-register for the English language beta of Office Live Workspace today at http://www.officelive.com.
Microsoft Dynamics Live CRM
Today more than 11,000 customers, including 475,000 users, enjoy the benefits of Microsoft Dynamics CRM on-premise and partner-hosted solutions. A new version of Microsoft Dynamics CRM code-named "Titan," which uses a single multitenant code base to deliver on-premise and on-demand deployments, will allow customers to choose the right deployment model for their needs at any point in time.
As part of an early access program that was launched this month, more than 100 customer and partner organizations are already using the new Microsoft Dynamics Live CRM service. Participants in the early access program get a better, more familiar user experience centered on Microsoft Office and Outlook; a lower total cost of ownership compared with traditional on-demand vendors; and the option to switch between on-demand and on-premise models if their business needs change. Those interested in joining can find out more at http://www.crmlive.com.
Microsoft Exchange Labs: Evaluating Next-Generation Messaging and Unified Communications Features in High-Scale Environments
As part of Microsoft's software plus services strategy, the company is advancing the way it builds, tests and delivers products to meet the needs of customers. Today Microsoft opened Exchange Labs, a new research and development program for testing next-generation messaging and unified communications capabilities in high-scale environments. Initially, the Exchange Labs program will include select universities and school districts. These participating institutions involve high-scale environments where students, faculty, staff and alumni have unique requirements that blend digital work with digital life.
As a generation that uses technology to communicate differently than those before them, this group of users will provide feedback that drives new capabilities to advance the operational efficiency, operational flexibility, anywhere access and advanced protection technologies of Microsoft Exchange Server.
Microsoft BizTalk Services
Today Microsoft introduced an update to BizTalk Services, an early-access offering of a next-generation business integration capability, optimized for cross-organizational integration and high scale. BizTalk Services enables companies to interconnect their businesses systems together, with greatly increased simplicity, via identity and network federation technologies. New types of connected applications can be created simply, where before they were impractical or impossible. BizTalk Services is currently supporting developers and applications for testing and evaluation. Microsoft plans to announce plans on pricing and commercial licensing by the end of the year.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Cormoran ( /ˈkɔrməræn/ or /ˈkɔrmərən/), also recorded as Cormilan, Cormelian, Gormillan, or Gourmaillon, was a legendary Cornish giant said to live in a cave on St Michael's Mount and terrorize the people of Penwith (or, in some accounts, all of Cornwall).[2] He is best known as the first giant killed by Jack in the fairy tale "Jack the Giant Killer". In some accounts he is mistakenly identified as Blunderbore. Cor (or mutated Gor) is the (Cornish: Late Cornish form of Welsh C/Gawr ('Giant'), 'Mor' for 'Sea', rendering the 'The Giant of the Sea'.[3]. Several Cornish and Welsh giants are identified with this term including Ysbaddaden Bencawr ('Head Giant') and Goemagot, (meaning unknown).
Contents |
According to Joseph Jacobs' account, Cormoran was 5.5 m (18 ft) tall and measured about 2.75 m (9 ft) around the waist.[2][4] The giant regularly raided the mainland, "feast[ing] on poor souls…gentleman, lady, or child, or what on his hand he could lay,"[4] and "making nothing of carrying half-a-dozen oxen on his back at a time; and as for…sheep and hogs, he would tie them around his waist like a bunch of tallow-dips."[2]
The giant lived in a cave on St Michael's Mount (a tidal island), utilizing the times of ebb tide to walk to the mainland.[2]
According to local legend, Cormoran and his wife Cormelian (whose name also appears as a variant of Cormoran) were responsible for the construction of St Michael's Mount.[5][6] Together they carried granite from the West Penwith Moors to the current location of St Michael's Mount. When Cormoran fell asleep from exhaustion, his wife tried to sneak a greenschist slab from a shorter distance away. Cormoran awoke and kicked the stone out of her apron, where it fell to form the island of Chapel Rock.[6]
Trecobben, the giant of Trencrom Hill (near St Ives), is said to have accidentally killed Cormelian while throwing a hammer over to St Michael's Mount for Cormoran. He and Cormoran buried Cormelian beneath Chapel Rock.[5][6]
According to Joseph Jacobs' account, the councillors of Penzance convened during the winter to solve the issue of Cormoran's raids on the mainland. After offering the giant's treasure as reward for his disposal, a villein farmer's boy named Jack took it upon himself to kill Cormoran.[2] Older chapbooks make no reference to the council, and attribute Jack's actions to a love for fantasy, chivalry, and adventure.[7]
Either way, in the late evening Jack is said to have swum to the island and dug a 6.75 m (22 ft) trapping pit,[2][7] although some local legends suggest he dug the pit to the north in Morvah.[5] After completing the pit the following morning, Jack blew a horn to awaken the giant. Cormoran stormed out, threatening to broil Jack whole, but fell into the hidden pit, and after being taunted for some time, was killed by a blow from a pickaxe or mattock.[4]
After filling in the hole, Jack retrieved the giant's treasure. According to the Morvah tradition, a rock was placed over the grave. Today this rock is called Giant's Grave. Local lore holds that the giant's ghost can sometimes be heard beneath it.
For his service to Penwith, Jack was officially titled "Jack the Giant-Killer"[2] and awarded a belt on which was written:
Here's the right valiant Cornishman,
Who slew the giant Cormoran.
The story of Cormoran may have its roots in the Cornish tale of Corineus (Jack) and Gogmagog (Cormoran).[6] In some renditions of the story, Gogmagog is even referred to as Gourmaillon, a variant of Cormoran. However, this may have been a later hypercorrection.[8]
The death of Cormelian (by a stray hammer) and the death of Cormoran (by a mattock) are similar in form and may share the same origin, and the names "Cormoran" and "Cormelian" seem to share the same etymology, indicating that the legend originally included no wife.

Turner Dairy Farms Teams Up with Carl Bowser Motorsports for 2014 Season
As the 2014 racing season quickly approaches, Carl Bowser and the entire Bowser Motorsports #10 sprint car team are excited to announce that Turner Dairy Farms has come on board as a marketing partner.
"I'm really proud to be associated with Turner Dairy Farms," said Bowser. "We love their dairy products and teas – Black and Gold is my favorite – and they resonate with our team as a local business that has high standards of quality. When they say their motto is 'treat people right', they aren't kidding. They do that every day in the Pittsburgh region."
As Marketing Manager at Turner Dairy Farms and longtime racing fan, Nicholas Yon was integral in forming the partnership, which will expand Turner's existing presence at Lernerville Speedway in Sarver deeper into the community.
"We're race fans at the dairy so when the idea of sponsoring local dirt track racing came to fruition our team was on board from the beginning," said Yon. "Having grown up at Lernerville Speedway I brought the idea of partnering with the track last year. After a successful 'first' race season at Lernerville we decided to expand our marketing efforts to the driver realm.
Carl was our first call. His success on the track, coupled with his standing in the racing and local community, meshed well with our company. We're looking forward to having the Turner's logo represented on Carl's #10 ride this year and for the opportunity to bring Carl into the community and meet many of our loyal customers and his race fans. We're excited to have a successful year both on and off the track for the entire Bowser Motorsports team."
In addition to weekly racing at Lernerville, Bowser will display the Turner's logo and product line at races across the region, including shows at Pittsburgh's PA Motor Speedway (Imperial, PA), Sharon Speedway (Hartford, OH), Mercer Raceway Park (Mercer, PA), Allegheny Motor Speedway (Franklin, PA) in addition to travel dates. More importantly to Bowser, however, are appearances to be made in conjunction with Turner's.
"I'm most proud to be a part of how Turner's supports our community," Bowser said. "Turner's has a deep history with local families and loyal customers, and I'm excited to get to meet them. Maybe we'll even create some new race fans in the process."
You can find Turner's online at www.turnerdairy.net, on Facebook at www.facebook.com/TurnerDairyFarms, and on Twitter at www.twitter.com/TurnersPremiumT.
The Bowser Motorsports team would like to thank their 2014 sponsors: Terry Bowser Excavating, Turner Dairy Farms, Reeseman Body Shop, Ringer's Pet Dog Training, MSMDesigns, Precise Racing Products/Hoosier Tire Mid-Atlantic, DirtyMouth Communications, and JHR Racing. For more information, please contact Kristin at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Spirit of Shaving: Blind Barber Product Line
March 28, 2012
After nearly 1.5 years of tinkering with formulas at chemistry labs, planning, lathering, rinsing, re-lathering, eating (need a lunch break), re-formulating and then packaging, Blind Barber is super proud to introduce the first 4 products in our very own Men's Grooming line: The Spirit of Shaving. Watch below for proper home grooming (shot by the dynamic duo of Melissa Fortunatti and Stefan Fernandez):
For the rest of the spiel:
Concocted in the good ol' U-S-of-A, we have bottled the spirit of our stomping grounds; meaning, because every haircut or shave at Blind Barber is served up with a complimentary cocktail, we felt it was only natural for our products to incorporate the beneficial properties of alcohol to achieve a unique, and of course gentlemanly, grooming experience at home.
The Spirit of Shaving line consists of 4 products: a Wild WaterMint Gin Shave Cream, an Aftershave Soother, a 60 Proof Hair Wax, and a 90 Proof Hair Pomade.
The Wild WaterMint Gin Shave Cream and the Aftershave Soother were designed to remove the unnecessary steps of pre-shave oils and brushes and to provide the perfect 1-2 combo for your daily shaving routine. The two products are lightly scented with a cool, minty undertone and include Juniper Berry, a key ingredient in gin, which in the two, acts as an astringent that offers healing benefits and relief to irritated skin. In addition, Wild Mint assists congested, acne-prone skin by cleaning, tightening and refining pores while Water Mint acts as an excellent antiseptic. The After Shave Soother not only acts as the perfect aftershave, but doubles as a moisturizer, leaving the skin incredibly soft while closing up the pores.
Moving upwards, our hair care products were designed to mold the hair of any guy with any style. Infused with hops for their protein rich nature and ability to fight dry scalp, both hair products are then scented with a faint hint of tonka bean (basically vanilla but vanilla is just so, well, vanilla), providing a clean, yet recognizable scent to your hair. The products range from a medium to strong hold starting with the 60 Proof Hair Wax and working up to the 90 Proof Hair Pomade. So, whether you want to be able to effortlessly run your hands through your hair all day, or you need that slick side part to hold strong for the entire date, at least one of our hair prodcuts will suit your needs.
That is the gist of it. We hope you are all as excited about this as we are. The products are currently available in our online SHOP so please head on over and check 'em out. Thank you, we love you.
Drink the beer, don't drink the products. And, as always, Stay Handsome.

Pippa Middleton is fast becoming the sweetheart of the tennis world after she wowed the crowds at yet another match today.
The 27 year old sports enthusiast was spotted at the Aegon Championships tennis tournament, Queen's Club, watching Scotland's Andy Murray take on Janko Tipsarevic.
Earlier in the day, Pip had been basking in the London sunshine, walking through the streets of Chelsea in a white crochet dress and cropped denim jacket.
It wasn't exactly the best choice of outfit for the tennis but the queen of the courts was quick to whip out her umbrella and protect herself from a brief afternoon shower.
Her friend was much better prepared in a white hooded jacket.
Luckily the rain didn't dampen the spirits on or off court and Andy Murray beat Tipsarevic and now moves into the quarter finals, where he will face either Marin Cilic or Thomaz Bellucci. Let's hope Ms Middleton has her rain jacket ready for that one.
Last week Pippa was spotted laughing and joking with friends as she watched Rafael Nadal beat Ivan Ljubicic in his fourth round match at the French Open.
She is also expected to be a regular face in the crowds at Wimbledon this year, alongside big sister Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge.

Your auto-part store and the mobile web | |
Mobile Web, Statistics - October 20 2011
We've already told you how a mobile-compatible website can greatly affect customers' likelihood to spend in a car dealership but what about when it comes to auto parts? We all know now that the actual car buying process uses mobile web but is it the same when it comes to parts? In short, yes! Mobile web is a utility that is grossly underused as a lot of businesses still don't realise just how much of a positive effect a few simple changes could have. Ok, it's pretty obvious when it comes to those industries where you expect people to buy online but car parts? Online? Well, what if we told you that converting your site into a smartphone compatible version could potentially lead to a 65% increase in sales? It's certainly not a figure to be sneezed at! It works like this – you make your site work properly when viewed on a mobile device, potential customers like what they see and have all the information they need right at their finger tips. Happy customers are far more likely to make a purchase, keep coming back and recommend your business to their friends. It doesn't need to involve a costly redesign either – our converter can do it in seconds and costs only $4.99 per month. Five dollars against a massive increase in sales is a pretty sound investment. Come and visit us right now – type in your website address and click to convert it. If you like what you see, there's a 7 day free trial before you have to part with a dime. Comments & Reactions |

About the Uni Project
The Uni Project is a nonprofit committed to increasing access to books and learning opportunities through pop-up, open-air reading rooms. Based in New York City, we operate reading rooms that bring architect-designed structures, high quality books, and dedicated staff, to the city's plazas, parks, and public spaces. We also ship reading room kits around the world so that others can copy our model.
The first Uni reading room was launched via a crowd-funding campaign and put into service on September 11, 2011. Since then, the project has deployed pop-up reading rooms nearly 60 times in New York City, with a focus on underserved neighborhoods and emerging public spaces. We've worked together with over 25 different neighborhood groups, and partnered with the Brooklyn, Queens, and New York public libraries. We've expanded our collection in partnership with museums. We've also shipped five other Uni reading rooms around the world, which are now run by public libraries and the US Consulate. The Uni has been hailed as a "groundbreaking idea" by Library Journal, and in 2013 was awarded an Innovations in Reading Prize from the National Book Foundation.
Our season runs from May through November. Follow us here. Support our work here.
The Uni is a project of Street Lab, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.

Dyngus Day: Not Just For The Older Generations [VIDEO]
I remember when I was a kid sitting and listening to my grandpa tell me about Dyngus Day. I thought it was just something old people did with pussy willows and squirt guns. But it's not just for your parents anymore.

It's the classic dilemma food lovers face every Thanksgiving: How do you maximize consumption while minimizing feelings of discomfort and fatigue? Determined to solve this glutton's conundrum, I met up with Eric "Badlands" Booker at the Tick Tock Diner in New York City for a firsthand lesson in piling my plate high, chowing down, and still having room for seconds.
There is no better feasting coach than Booker, who at 6' 5" and 400 pounds, is a man who not only knows how to eat but knows how to eat a lot, and quickly. There are people who enjoy eating, and then there is Booker, who has spent the past 14 years perfecting the craft of consumption, and now ranks 15th in the world on the Major League Eating (MLE) circuit. If Thanksgiving is the Super Bowl of food, then this man is the holiday's MVP.
A native of Queens, New York, Booker got his first taste of competitive eating in 1997 at a qualifying match for Nathan's Famous hot dog–eating contest, the annual Fourth of July showdown for the world's elite eaters. After placing first in the qualifying match, Booker came in sixth at the event, and has since placed as high as second, in 2002, when he ate 26 hot dogs and buns.
Since his first showing at Nathan's, Booker has earned eating records in nearly every food group. Noteworthy claims to gastronomical fame include eating 4 pounds of corned beef hash (1 minute, 58 seconds); 21 baseball-size matzoh balls (5 minutes, 25 seconds); 49 glazed doughnuts (8 minutes); and—just in time for the Thanksgiving dessert bar—4 3/8 Entenmann's Pumpkin Pies (12 minutes). This is a man who clearly knows his way around an all-you-can-eat buffet.
We grab a booth by the window at the diner, one of the few places in New York City that actually serve a traditional Thanksgiving meal 365 days a year. I order Booker two of the Roasted Turkey Dinner platters, which come with a choice of soup or salad and include a half-pound of sliced turkey, plus stuffing, giblet gravy, marshmallow yams, and cranberry sauce (noticeably absent are mashed potatoes). Booker also orders the chicken noodle soup, and digs in as we start talking strategy.
"Thanksgiving is a time when everyone is a competitive eater," says the champ, who, along with his wife, cooks Thanksgiving dinner for 15 or so friends and family members. "And at our house, I know it's going to be like an amateur boxing match—a three-round match, at least," Booker says, referring to the multiple servings he'll eat of some of his favorite dishes, including homemade macaroni and cheese, a family recipe for sweet and tangy sausage stuffing, ziti, turkey, ham, chicken, and meatloaf, plus ice cream and several types of pie.
Of course preparation for a big match must begin well before game day. To lay the groundwork before you come face-to-face with your plate, Booker recommends eating a light dinner made up of lean proteins, such as chicken, and salad the night before the feast: The key, he says, is to eat something to prevent your stomach from shrinking, while avoiding weighing yourself down with anything heavy. On the morning of the big day, eat a breakfast of complex carbs, such as oatmeal, which will keep you satiated and make you less likely to snack in the hours leading up to the first bite of the bird. (A word to the wise for cooks: Booker knows there's no way to get around tasting your creations to see if you need to adjust seasonings, but says to keep sampling to small bites.)
In the Booker family home, the cooking takes place in two shifts. Booker prefers the 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. shift, since he's used to the hours from his job as an overnight MTA conductor on New York's 7 train.
Just as he's putting the finishing touches on the ham and stuffing, his wife steps in for the daytime shift, and Booker retreats from the kitchen to build up his appetite for the main event. One key to success is what you drink leading up to and during dinner. Booker suggests instituting the MLE approach to liquids. "You don't want to be drinking anything that's carbonated," he advises. "It creates bubbles in your stomach, which are not good."

Siesta Restaurant to close its doors
May 9, 2012 at 12:09 a.m.
Updated May 10, 2012 at 12:10 a.m.
Siesta Restaurant's timeline:

Patrick Medrano greeted the Siesta Restaurant staff with a smile as he walked to his table, placing his order before even sitting down. There was no need for a menu because he practically knew it by heart.
"We're here at least once a week," he said as his wife, Sylvia Medrano, took a seat. "We like it here."
The Medranos will soon find themselves making new arrangements, though. After 56 years in business, the restaurant will close its doors Wednesday.
The decision wasn't an easy one, said Bobby Trevino, whose family has owned the establishment from the start. Still, he said, it was time.
Times changed, he said, and competition grew. When restaurant owner and co-founder Beatrice Trevino developed Alzheimer's disease several years ago, that was another push toward closure.
"I think we're about burnt out," Bobby Trevino said through tears. "We've come to a fork in the road and a decision had to be made. But I feel we've had a long run in Victoria."
Federico and Beatrice Trevino began their endeavor in 1956, when they opened New Mecca at the corner of Water and Bridge streets. They relocated multiple times through the years, changing the name first to the Siesta Cafe and, in 1977, to Siesta Restaurant, when the eatery opened at its 2505 Houston Highway location.
The building is now under contract, Bobby Trevino said, although he could not go into further detail.
He said he would always cherish the memories made through years. Things like the aunt who made tamales pro bono, just to help out, the $2 he sometimes got for doing the dishes and the many fundraisers the restaurant hosted all left impressions.
"We're upset by closing the doors Mom and Dad started in 1956, but we look forward to the opportunities in the future," he said. "Of doing some good in the name of our parents."
Randy Vivian, president and CEO of the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, said he understood why the business chose to close, but said it was still sad.
"They're going to be missed," he said.
Vivian said Siesta became a community icon through the years.
"These are the types of businesses that people come from out of town to visit, and they're the things that locals find comfort in," he said. "They know the food, it's consistent and it's good. And, because of that, they patronize it."
Such was the case for Julie Nicely, who visited Siesta on Wednesday with her daughter and grandchildren.
Nicely said she made her way to the restaurant once or twice a week before retiring, since the food kept her going throughout the day. While she ate a meal at lunchtime, she also bought chips and hot sauce to take back to work.
"That way we had something to eat on all day," she said.
Nicely passed that love of the spicy stuff on to her daughter, Pamela Deyton. On Wednesday, Deyton sat with the chips and red sauce strategically placed in front of her, easy to access.
"This is the best hot sauce in town," she said with a smile.
Bobby Trevino said his family was grateful for the customers who visited through the years, and said he enjoyed watching their children - and later their children's children - grow.
As for the Medranos, they said they would miss Siesta, and didn't really have a backup. Siesta, Patrick Medrano said, was his favorite.
"But you know what they say," he said, shaking his head. "All good things come to an end. All good things."

Should I Update My BIOS?
Should a PC's BIOS, like an operating system or an antivirus, be kept up to date?
You should update several programs on your hard drive regularly, usually for security reasons. Many of them, including your antivirus and Windows itself, probably update automatically.
But the BIOS is different. It's not even on the hard drive. And you should only update it with good reason.
Unlike other programs, the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS) sits on a chip on the motherboard, and is the first code to run when you boot your PC. It tells the processor where to look for the operating system. It continues working after the bootup, facilitating communication between the OS and the hardware.
Although you can update today's BIOSes, doing so is more dangerous than updating drive-based software. If something goes wrong, it could render the PC completely unbootable; you won't even be able to boot a live Linux flash drive or reinstall Windows. There's probably a way to bring the PC back to life, but it won't be easy.
So when should you update your BIOS? Only if there's a problem--especially a hardware-related one--and your research suggests that the BIOS may be the cause.
Research is the key to a safe BIOS update. First, find the current version of your BIOS:
- Select Start (Start>Run in XP), type regedit, and press ENTER.
- Navigate the Registry Editor's left pane, as if it were Windows Explorer, to Computer/LOCAL_MACHINEHARDWAREDESCRIPTIONSystem.
- In the larger, right pane, note the data fields for SystemBiosDate and SystemBiosVersion.
Armed with that information, go to your PC or motherboard manufacturer's Web site to see if there's a new version available. If there is, double and triple-check to make sure it's actually for your particular hardware. Read the description to see if it might fix your problem.
The Web site may offer two versions of the BIOS-updating tool--a Windows program and a special, bootable version you put on a CD or flash drive. If both are available, go with the bootable one.
And follow the instructions to the letter.

Mean Jeans mean business
Thursday, November 12th, 2009 | musiX, pdX
Green Noise was one of the first record stores I found when I moved to Portland about a year ago. Loads of garage and punk albums; not to mention owner Ken Cheppaikode is a helluva nice gent with an affinity for Reigning Sound, and an almost robotic ability for relaying the who? what? when? where? and why? of the most bizarro/obscuro bands from the past four decades.
The cozy, punk rawk hub on Clinton Street is also home to Dirtnap Records, the label Cheppaikode started in 1999 while still living in Seattle. The label has put out tons of 7-inches and records from bands like The Epoxies, The Marked Men and The Girls, the latter of which made TDoL's 2008 Year-End List. To celebrate its 10th anniversary, Dirtnap is offering a free 15-song sampler with some of the aforementioned bands as well as the Mean Jeans, who will perform along with White Fang tonight at Ground Kontrol to celebrate the release of their new record Are You Serious? And in true punk rock fashion, this shindig is FREE.
Mean Jeans might be the second coming of The Ramones … or perhaps one of those other bands that sound like The Ramones. Needless to say their two-minute jabs are damn catchy and fun. And based on members' reported aptitudes for consuming illicit substances, I firmly believe that listening to the Mean Jeans could give you cotton mouth, the drip and the spins. So uh … when's their next record coming out?

Reduce Stress with Better Sleep Video
Improving the quality of your sleep may be the key to reducing stress
And I wanna get rid of the clutter. I've got so much clutter and I get emotionally attached to it!

Yeah.

What's up with that?

Knowing Kathy, but I get stressed out very easily.

Right.

I hate the phone.

Make this a year you figure out how to control the stress in your life. Keep a journal for a week. See what triggers the stress and, even more important, see what bad habit you may have developed in response to the stress. Do you eat? Do you chew your fingernails? Do you light a cigarette? Plan ahead for a healthier alternative response when something really does get to you.

One of the best ways to reduce stress is to get a good night's sleep. Kathleen Huddy is joining us from the Good Housekeeping Research Institute. You specialize in bedding products and you say that makes a huge difference in sleeping.

It's important to know how you sleep before you purchase a pillow because pillows are very specialized now. There's pillows for side sleepers, back sleepers and stomach sleepers and each of them have different designs and different support.

Really?

Yeah.

How come I don't know that?

Well, it's important. And also, to test your pillow to see if it's beyond it's time, so to speak, you fold it in half. You put a shoe on it. If it automatically bounces the shoe off, it's still good.

Okay.

If it stays folded, then you have a problem.

Well, that shoes is not going anywhere.

No. That pillow needs to be replaced.

Okay.

Another thing to look for is if you have allergies. Look for a pillow that gives you protection such as the DreamShield Ultra from HoMedics. That has 4-way protections against dust mites, bacteria, water and stains. We tested it in the Institute using all of our pillow tests and it did very well.

Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- A plodding storm that dumped heavy snow on the unsuspecting Mid-Atlantic region left roads slippery and slushy in the Northeast for today's commute while travel disruptions continued rippling across the country days after the same system first began wreaking havoc in the skies.
The storm that coated parts of Texas in ice struck with unexpected force Sunday on the East Coast, blanketing some spots in a foot of snow, grinding highways to a halt, causing power outages, and closing schools or delaying start times. The federal government was allowing workers to arrive up to two hours later than normal today or take unscheduled leave as freezing rain fell.
"Getting snow and ice off the car was the hardest thing," said Brian Holmes, 63, Alexandria, Va. "I couldn't find my scraper. I had to improvise with my broken snow shovel."
In Washington, cab driver Mahdi Abdi said he had been driving since midnight, and the main roads were clear. But side streets were a different story.
"The small streets, a lot of them are icy," said Abdi, 52. "I don't even go in."
The storm canceled more than 2,800 flights Sunday and delayed thousands more, according to estimates from the website Flightaware.com.
More than 1,200 flights today already were canceled, the greatest share from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, which still was reeling from the effects of the ice storm that brought North Texas to a standstill. Approximately 650 people were stranded there Sunday night, down from Friday night when 4,000 travelers were stranded, airport spokesman David Magana said.
The forecast for today remained up in the air for the Northeast, depending on how quickly the system moves and temperatures rise, according to the National Weather Service.
The expectation overnight was for another weather system moving out of Virginia to follow the same path as Sunday's storm. It was forecast to dump icy drizzle and eventually freezing rain through the New York City area and into Boston, National Weather Service meteorologist Greg Heavener said.
Indeed, slippery conditions were reported overnight in the New York City area: One crash involving about 20 vehicles closed southbound lanes of Interstate 95 in Greenwich, Conn., for a couple of hours. No serious injuries were reported.
Forecasters said air travel would likely remain a hassle, too.
"I think the further north you look, departures and arrivals could be affected because of icy issues," Heavener said.
What was forecast in the Philadelphia area to be a tame storm with about an inch of snow gradually changing over to rain mushroomed into a full-blown snowstorm. A foot of snow was reported in Newark, Del. Philadelphia International Airport received 8.6 inches, more than it had all of last year. Other areas received far less: a little more than an inch was reported in Pennsylvania's Lehigh Valley, which usually is hit harder than downtown Philadelphia.
Sunday's snow fell so heavily in Philadelphia that yard markers at Lincoln Financial Field -- where the Eagles beat the Detroit Lions -- were completely obscured. It was almost as bad in Pittsburgh, where the snow intensified after the opening kickoff.
Philadelphia fan Dave Hamilton, Ivyland, Pa., layered up for the game in Eagles gear.
"Twenty-seven years I've been a season-ticket holder, I've never seen snow at the game like this," he said. "It just kept coming down."

Shape Up in 30 Days
Yes, you CAN make noticeable, satisfying improvements in your physique in as little as a month. But it's important to understand what kinds of changes are possible (and which goals may not be realistic within that time frame). Here are 4 guidelines for achieving results in 4 weeks:
- Lose weight gradually -- no more than 1 or 2 pounds a week. It may not seem like much at first, but you could be 8 pounds lighter after a month.
- Lift weights! Regular strength training plays a huge role in weight loss. It builds lean muscle mass, which increases metabolism (i.e., you burn more calories). Bottom line: If you want to see results quickly, make sure you're doing both cardiovascular and strength training.
- Give up the "spot reducing" myth. You cannot lose body fat primarily from your stomach, thighs or other trouble spot. Our bodies lose fat proportionately.
- Know a "body fat" problem from a "muscle tone" problem. If you want highly defined muscles, you won't be able to see them as long as there's a layer of fat hiding them. If you're carrying excess pounds, you need to lose weight while toning your muscles through strength training.

Justin sure knows how to throw down for his birthday. He doled out some serious cash to put together a major spectacle for his big day! As the honorary ringleader, he kept the party going all night long on Mar. 1!
Justin Bieber has been running around Europe for a while now on his Believe tour, having a crazy time. Sold-out concerts, new love interests, and partying into the wee hours of the morning make his life sound like a circus. But wait, his life is actually a circus, at least for a night!
Justin Bieber Throws Circus-Themed Party
The Biebs' birthday party on March 1 was certainly filled with some interesting characters, and no, we're not talking about his rumored new love interests. The star spent around $20K for his circus-themed bash, equipped with clowns and a ringmaster. Justin and 20 of his closest friends got down at the circus all night long in honor of his big day.
Justin Celebrates His Birthday in London
Justin's celebrations didn't begin at the circus — he's been clowning around in London for a while leading up to his party. After he finished his concert he tweeted: "Great show!!! Now go celebrate 19!! Thanks." He threw on a chic outfit and headed out for a big night at club BLC. The singer's deejay, Tay James, joined the birthday boy. His girlfriend Ella Paige Roberts Clarke and a few other ladies also came out for the big night. They partied until 5am when they left the club to grab some late-night food, finally returning to the celeb's hotel around 6am!
Also hanging with Justin was the blonde woman who was spotted leaving his hotel two days before, doing the walk of shame.
Though the Biebs may look like a clown due to his interesting fashion choices, that doesn't mean he can't party with one! Happy birthday Justin!
HollywoodLifers, do you think Justin will be able to top this incredible party next year?

If you are still undecided: seize your preferred earphones, mind right down to the Biggest Score and get to be able to put them right into a Microsoft zune then a music player to see what type sounds easier to you, and that software enables you to smile a lot more.

That still stinks that he couldn't celebrate the birthday of his life, because the Paparazzi ruined it for him. Come on, seriously, let him be, give him space, leave him alone he didn't do anything he just wanted to have a huge birthday. But he couldn't because of those selfish and rude Paparazzi. I saw the trending on twitter, and couldn't believe my eyes :"( Feels like 2011 all over again for me :"( will it ever come to an end? Other than that I wonder what else he did for his bday.

you have got this story completley wrong. It was not a circus themed party, the club is, thats why it is called cirque du Soir. He arrived and left within 5 minutes and went straight back to his Hotel !! Perhaps you should check out the 30,000 tweets before printing news …that isnt !!!
His own tweet states "worst Birthday Ever" Try becoming journalists !

No more glide if pixel movement is used at all.. fail? in On Topic
I don't use pixel movement for anything but I do use some of the features such as bound_width, bound_height, and step_size for icons larger than 32x32(I only use them in multiples of 32). Before the most recent update everything worked great. But with this recent update, just because I decide to use bound_width and height I now have jumpy movement. I really think it should go back to the way it was in BYOND 490.1105.
This is because the pixel movement was supposed to be used for projects that allowed movement spaces lower than the icon_size, the lower step_size compensated for the lack of glide. What are you doing anyways that uses bounds but not pixel movement?
I think we can account for the tile multiple case.

Wonder Woman's a Horror Book?
- Details
- Category: News
- Written by James Ferguson
- Published on Sunday, 21 August 2011 20:15
For those not in the know, DC Comics, the perpetual second biggest comic book company out there, is going to be relaunching all of their comics next month with new #1 issues. Among the titles getting the restart is Wonder Woman which will be written by Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets). In a recent interview with the Coventry Telegraph, Azzarello says "People need to relax, she's not wearing pants. But it's not going to be a superhero book. I can guarantee you that, it's not a superhero book. It's a horror book."
Wonder Woman is a character that is buried in Greek mythology. With the relaunch, will her stories start getting into the spookier elements of those tales? Hopefully Azzarello can give the book the shot in the arm it's needed for some time with this new start. If his work on 100 Bullets was any indication, he's certainly comfortable in the seedier parts of the world.
Look for Wonder Woman #1 at your local comic shop this September.

It was bustling the evening of our visit with many people coming in for drinks. TV screens surrounded the restaurants. I couldn't tell if most people were visitors like us staying in the nearby hotels or if they were locals.
This posting is a delayed in writing so I don't recall specifically what I had here but it was a hot sandwich and I was trying to eat healthier. I know for sure it wasn't a burger. Obviously it didn't leave much of an impression and it didn't make much of an impression while eating. The sandwich was flat and bland, average at best.
Portland is a foodie town. Go out and explore.

Art Institute of Chicago Textile Collection Opening
Tomorrow I am going up to Chicago to attend the re-opening of the Department of Textiles at the Art Institute. The department has been closed for five years to repair structural problems. There are two exhibitions featured in the re-opening: June Wayne's Narrative Tapestries, and Contemporary Fiber Art: A selection from the Permanent Collection. The latter exhibition includes my Grey Stones weaving, which AIC acquired two years ago. I am so honored to be included in this happy show, and was delighted to learn that Grey Stones is pictured in the current AIC magazine article about the exhibition.

staff was helpful and friendly work out facilities were very nice
Location was wonderful! Staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was beautiful and we loved the private lounging rooms off the bar in the lobby! Breakfast buffet was amazingly delicious.
Didn't like that there was a charge for WiFi. REALLY didn't like the high delivery charge for room service. My favorite thing about traveling is room service and I didn't do much of it because every order had a 5$ delivery fee. I ordered 1 Manhatten and it cost me 28$!!!! That is highway robbery!
Absolutely everything! Location, cleanliness, staff, comfort....the list goes on!
For that price they should have coffee and tea available in the lobby in the mornings It is a convention center yet when there is a convention they are not equipped with enough elevators. I did a lot of walking due to the lines
bed was good
cost for parking slow service in sports bar not enough restaurants in area
This hotel was great and the location was close to many attractions and shops
can say nothing great stay
Comfort, cleanliness, friendly staff. The rooms are decorated, very nice! I liked being able to out for meals and drinks, without leaving the hotel!!
I wasn't able to get access, to the "free wi-fi"!
Location is good
-There were molds on the shower curtain !! -Checking in took half an hour (they could not find my confirmation code !) -There was NOTHING in the room (even slippers) and minibar was empty -Breakfast was included but they did not ask even my room number when I went to restaurant ! At the end I told them that is included !
Free wifi only in the lobby, not in the rooms.
A regular traveler for business the stay here was a complete pleasure. I can not say enough about this location. From all aspects, staff to location, dining to room accommodations don't pass this Hotel up on your next stay in D.C. Easy walk to the local dining and all local sight seeing attractions as well.
Professional staff. Well maintained facilities.
No free wifi available in the room.
Very up to date and swanky rooms. The bar in the lobby was also wonderful and service was perfect.
The lobby has a strong perfume smell to it, which it a bit irritating. The room was on a low floor and the street noise outside was loud. Over the weekend at 2am I woke up to yelling and honking on the street. The hotel may want to consider replacing the windows facing the street on low floors with more sound-resistant windows.
The hotel location was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed the customer service and the bartenders were phenomenal. Very elegant and relaxing to a degree.
The noise from the other room doors closing and hearing the room beside us using the bathroom.
Beautiful lobby. Friendly & competent staff. Great location for Verizon Center attractions. Reasonably priced compared to equivalent hotels.
Bathroom in room could have been better maintained. Horrible experience at the Starbuck's in the lobby - extremely incompetent staff.
I called the front desk for extra cups and was told I would have to pay a delivery fee for the extra cups. I didn't think this was fair or convenient
1.Location 2.Allowed to check in earlier than scheduled check-in time.
1.Broken ice machine for the entire stay where we stayed on the 12th floor. 2.Steam room at the fitness center was down for the entire stay. 3.Wait staff failed to offer any kind of service at the Presidential Sports Bar for 30 minutes after being seated by host and it was a slow business evening. 4.Several front desk clerks could be more pleasant and helpful. Example: never offered to explain how to get to parking garage from lobby during check-in and check-out.
Friendliness and helpfulness of staff. Had a problem in the room upon arrival (toilette didn't flush). They came within minutes to fix it. Had a reservation for a particular room and were suggested one that fit our needs better (which it did) without charging us more. Really great overall
The prices at the hotel bar were outrageous (4 $ for a glass of soda water from the tap)
Great location. Nice bed. We got free wifi in our room!
Breakfast should be included in the price. The roof was a bit low in our room.
The beds were very comfortable. The Front Desk staff and a gentleman with whom I spoke at the Concierge Desk were very personable and friendly. Public areas (lobby, etc.) are beautiful.
On the evening of 9/27, someone slid a pizza delivery menu under our door. I slid on it and wrenched my back. Later, my partner was walking up the steps to exit the hotel (exit near stairs down to meeting rooms/ballroom), and she tripped; carpet is a little loose on stairs (needs to be "pulled"). Entry door to room (934) sticks. Ceiling vent in our bathroom dusty. No way of determining what television shows are on without channel surfing and TV shows sometimes hesitate (as though they're buffering). Public restroom near front desk, if inside center stall, wallpaper peeling a little on both sides towards bottom if facing the stall door.
Beautiful lobby and rooms. Very clean. Comfortable cozy beds. Loved the quality of the soaps, shampoos, etc. large shower head was high enough for tall people. View was lovely, even to the interior of the hotel. Hotel restaurant buffet was delicious. Liked the room keys with the swipe feature.
The free wifi was only available n the lobby. The rooms should have free wifi as well. Difficult to find where to park. Signage could be more clear to avoid driving into valet in order to ask. Unable to check in and then park like other hotels. The phone was confusing on how to contact the front desk or concierge because the words were 'delighted to serve.' It seemed possible that was food service. I was not confident when I called.
