Welcome to our blog dedicated to the engineering of Microsoft Windows 7
Happy Birthday Windows! Given all the interest in the most used user-interface of Windows we thought it would be good to take a look back and see how we got to Windows 7. --Steven
We were very excited to unveil elements of the Windows 7 desktop at this year's Professional Developers Conference (as seen in the Welcome to the Windows 7 Desktop session, among others). In previous posts (User Interface: Starting, Launching, and Switching and Follow-up: Starting, Launching, and Switching) we looked at the history, anatomy and areas for improvement of the taskbar. In this post, we will continue the conversation. Don't let looks fool you though—the UI may feel new to Windows for some of you or old hat for some of you, but rest assured it represents a careful evolution that strives to address customer feedback while retaining its familiar Windows DNA.
It was 23 years ago on November 20, 1985 when Windows first shipped. As it just so happens, this first Microsoft graphical shell actually holds relevance to this post as it surfaced one of the industry's first taskbar-like concepts.
Fig 1 Windows 1.01: Icons at the bottom of the screen represent running windows
Windows 1.0 supported zoomed (full-screen), tiled and icon (minimized) windows. Since there was no support for overlapping [that big debate between charless and billg, Steven], a dedicated portion of the desktop was kept visible at the bottom of the screen to surface non-tiled and non-zoomed windows. By minimizing a window or dragging it to the bottom of the screen, the person was able to populate this rudimentary taskbar with a large icon corresponding to the running window. She could then get back to this window by clicking or dragging this icon to the desktop. As simple as this mechanism seems today, it cemented an important concept that is with us even in Windows 7—when people switch between tasks, they are really switching between windows. Although it took Windows 95 to introduce a mature taskbar with launching, switching and notification functionality, the experience of surfacing and switching between windows via a dedicated region at the bottom of the screen is as ancient as Windows 1.0.
In the previous taskbar posts, we discussed some high-level principles we defined after digesting the mountain of data and feedback on the taskbar. Here's a more detailed look at the goals we identified and how we began to frame feature concepts.
It is easy to get to the programs and destinations you use all the time, with less mouse movement and fewer clicks.
Accessing commonly used programs within a single click required us to enrich Quick Launch by increasing its presence on the taskbar and making more top-level room for pinned items. We began looking into how Quick Launch interacted with the taskband and how launching and switching were sometimes separate and other times duplicative. For example, almost all single-instance programs in Windows interpret an attempt to re-launch them as a switch if they are already running. So, clicking Outlook's icon in Quick Launch would merely switch to the program if it was already running and present in the taskband. To make room for more items on the taskbar, we knew we had to remove some of the redundancy and free up valuable real-estate.
When researching and modeling a person's workflow, we came to realize that there were three basic steps that a person frequently seems repeats. First, she finds the program and launches it. Then, she uses the program's UI to open a file she wants to work on. Then finally, she gets to work. We asked ourselves whether we could help people jump directly to these items by skipping the first two steps. We called these files, folders, links, websites and other items that programs create or consume "destinations" as they represent where the person is ultimately is navigating to. We decided that these destinations should also be easily accessible from the taskbar. However, for real success and adoption, we needed to think through how destinations could be effectively surfaced to the person without the need for manual customization or by requiring developers to do lots of work.
You can switch to the right window quickly without mistakes and effortlessly position windows the way you want them.
This goal spoke to the very heart of the taskbar—the ability to switch between windows. This challenged us with seeking a more predictable method of surfacing windows on the taskbar, meaningful use of text and a reliable method of helping people consistently switch with confidence. We've had text on the taskbar for years and Vista introduced thumbnails, but customer feedback informed us that there was room for improvement. Interestingly, we found inspiration in old features such as Windows XP's window grouping and Alt-Tab's visual layout of individual windows.
During our investigation, we also spent time looking into why a person would switch windows in the first place. Two interesting scenarios emerged—one in which she needs to get some information from a window (e.g. getting a phone number) and to interact with a window's options (e.g. controlling background music). We wondered whether we could address these task switching cases in a novel way—by actually removing the need to switch completely.
The desktop reflects your style. You get to personalize the experience, choosing what is important to you, including how and when you receive notifications.
By far the biggest target of feedback, the Notification Area had to put control back in the hands of people. It was decided that instead of the opt-out model that required the person to clean up this area, we would start with a clean experience. Only system icons would appear by default and then people can to customize this area to their liking.
The desktop experience feels organized, lightweight, open and is a pleasure to use. Visuals and animations are delighters the first time and every time.
A successful product is more than the utility it serves—it is also an experience. From the very start we wanted the taskbar, and the desktop as a whole, to draw an emotional response from the person. This required a set of scoped delighters that demoed well and retained their appeal over time. We began to define a personality for the UI using terms such as "glass and energy," Chi, authenticity and many others. These investigations helped define a visual and animation language that we could then apply to several aspects of Windows 7. Expect a future blog post that delves much deeper into this important design process—much of which Sam discussed in his PDC session.
The Windows 7 taskbar is about launching with ease, switching with confidence and all the while remaining in control. The UI is made up of several key features that complete common end-to-end scenarios. Let's dive into each of these elements and how they work.
The taskbar has undergone a facelift. We've enabled large icons by default (as seen in Windows 1.0 and also an option of Quick Launch since Windows 95 with IE 4). This affords a richer icon language, improves identification of programs and improves targeting for both the mouse and touch. Yet, one of the most important advantages large icons provide is a means to promote the taskbar as the central place to launch everyday tasks. We joke that the new taskbar is the "beachfront property of the Windows OS" and in turn, we are already seeing many people populating the UI with their commonly used programs. Somewhat if a visual trick, the taskbar is only 10 pixels (at 96 DPI) higher than its Vista counterpart (when used as a single row, since multiple rows are still supported, along with positioning around the screen edges).
Fig 2. The Windows 7 taskbar: Default settings include large icons, no text and glass surface
To mitigate its slightly increased height and the larger icons, we decided to impart the UI with a more prominent glass treatment. This also allows us to better showcase the person's color preference (you'll recall that in a previous post we revealed that almost 30% of sessions have personalized glass). We also changed the Vista behavior so that when a window is maximized, both the taskbar and the window's title bar continue to remain open and translucent. We received lots of feedback on Vista that many people didn't like these UIs turning opaque and dark.
You can still pin programs to the taskbar by dragging them or via a context menu, just like you have always done with Quick Launch. Destinations can also be pinned via a drag/drop, but they are designed to be surfaced differently as we'll see under the Jump List section.
If one increases the size of Quick Launch, one must then determine what to do with the taskband. As previously discussed, we observed that under many scenarios of single-instance programs, launching and switching were equivalent. Hence, we decided to standardize this behavior and have program launchers turn into window switchers when they are launched. Effectively, we unified Quick Launch and the taskband. While some other operating systems have similar concepts, one difference with our approach is that our default experience always optimizes for a single representation on the taskbar. This means that regardless of a window's state (e.g. minimized, maximized or restored) there are no new or duplicate buttons created. Also, the default taskbar doesn't allow destinations to be pinned to the top-level which prevents duplication of a pinned file and a running window with that same file open. When we say there is "one button to rule them all" we're serious. This approach to a single, unified button keeps the taskbar uncluttered and gives the person a single place to find what she's looking for.
Combining launching and switching also made it easier to provide the most requested feature—the ability to move taskbar buttons. Quick Launch as always allowed this, but combining this mechanism with the taskband naturally extended rearrange functionality to running windows.
Vista showed thumbnails when the user hovers on a taskbar button and Windows 7 improves upon this design. Unlike Vista, these thumbnails are now an extension of their corresponding button so the person can click on these visual aides to switch to a given window. The thumbnail is also is a more accurate representation of a window complete with an icon in the top left corner, window text and even the ubiquitous close button in the top right.
Fig 3. Thumbnails: Grouped, interactive thumbnails make it easier to manage windows
One of the most important functions of the taskbar is to surface individual windows so people can easily switch between them. Having unified a program launcher and a single window switcher, the next logical step was to determine how multiple windows of a program could be combined and presented. We looked no further than a feature introduced in Windows XP called window grouping. When the taskbar became full, windows of a program could collapse into a single menu. However, there were a few challenges with the design. First, the behavior isn't predictable. People don't really understand when this scaling mechanism is triggered. Second, a listview of windows isn't always the best way to represent these items. Finally, opening the menu always required a click, which slowed some people down. Our solution was to combine buttons by default for a predictable experience, to use grouped thumbnails and to have these thumbnails appear on hover as well as on click. Think of this approach as a contextual Alt-tab surfaced directly off the taskbar. When the person brings her mouse to a taskbar button, all the thumbnails of a program appear simultaneously making for a organized, light-weight switching model. To polish off the experience, we show a visual cue of stacked tiles that provides feedback on whether there are multiple windows running for a program. We also recognized that a set of people may still wish to see an individual buttons for each window and an option permits this behavior.
With the Windows 7 taskbar, there is a single place to go regardless of whether the program is not running, running with one window or running with several windows. Rich thumbnails provide more intuitive ways of managing and switching between windows.
Here's a riddle for you—what's the best size for a window's preview that will guarantee that the you can accurately identify it? Grouped thumbnails look and feel great, but we know these small previews don't always provide enough information to identify a window. Sure they work great for pictures, but not so for emails or documents. The answer is simply to show the actual window—complete with its real content, real size and real location. That's the concept behind Aero Peek.
When the taskbar doesn't offer enough information via text or a thumbnail, the person simply moves the mouse over a taskbar thumbnail and voilà—the corresponding window appears on the desktop and all other windows fade away into glass sheets. Once you see the window you want, just click to restore it. Not only does this make finding a window a breeze, it may also remove the need to switch altogether for scenarios in which one just needs a quick glance to glean information. Peek also works on the desktop too. Show Desktop has been moved to the far right of the taskbar where one can still click on this button to switch to the desktop. The control enjoys a Fitts magic corner which makes it very easy to target. If you just move your mouse over the control, all windows on the desktop turn to glass allowing the desktop to be seen. It's easy to now glance at a stock or the weather gadget or to check to see if a file is on the desktop.
Fig 4. Aero Peek: Hovering over a thumbnail peeks at its corresponding window on the desktop
We spent a lot of time analyzing different aspects of Peek. For example, we recognized that when people are using the feature, they won't be necessary focused on the taskbar as they look at windows on the desktop. An early prototype triggered Peek directly off the top-level of the taskbar but this revealed issues. Moving the mouse across a small a region to trigger different previews exited Peek since the natural arc of hand motion resulted in the mouse falling off the taskbar. By only triggering Peek off the thumbnails, we gained much more room for the mouse to arc and we also reduced accidental triggers.
As far back as Windows 1.0, there has always been a system menu that shows contextual controls for running windows and their programs. This menu is accessible by right-clicking on a taskband button or in the top left corner of most windows. By default, the menu exposes windows controls such as close. (Random trivia—ever wonder why the system menu off a taskbar button always shows close in bold when close isn't the double-click behavior? Well, the answer is that double-clicking the top left region of most windows will close it and the bolded option makes sense in this context. The same menu just happens to be hosted in both locations.) Over the years, some programs have extended the system menu to surface relevant tasks. For example, Command Prompt reveals tasks such as editing options, defaults and properties in its system menu. However, this is a bit of a free-for-all for programs to opt in or not, resulting in an inconsistent experience for people. Another blow to this scenario is that the system menu is only accessible when the program is running. This makes sense since the default commands are about window management, but what if you wanted to access a program's tasks even it isn't running?
As we discussed under the goals section, we thought about the various steps people have to take to accomplish tasks and whether we could reduce them. Be it getting to a destination or accessing the commands of a program, we wanted to make it easier for people to jump to the things they are trying to accomplish. Jump Lists are a new feature of the Windows 7 taskbar that accomplish just this. Think of this feature as a mini Start Menu for each program or an evolved version of the system menu. Jump Lists surface commonly used nouns (destinations) and verbs (tasks) of a program. There are several advantages this new approach provides. First, the you don't need to even start the program to quickly launch a file or access a task. Second, destinations don't take up valuable space on the taskbar; they are automatically organized by their respective program in a simple list. Should one have ten programs pinned or running on her taskbar, this means she could have quick access to over 150 destinations she uses all the time, without even the need to customize the UI! Since the Jump List shows lots of text for each of its items, gone are the days of having identical icons on your taskbar that are indistinguishable without a tooltip. Should you wish to keep a specific destination around, you can simply pin it to the list.
Fig 5. Jump List: Right-clicking on Word gives quick access to recently used documents
To make sure we provide a consistent and valuable experience out-of-the-box, we decided to pre-populate Jump Lists and also allow programs to customize the experience. By default, the menu contains the program's shortcut, the ability to toggle pinning, the ability to close one or all windows and a program's recent destinations (assuming they use the Common File Dialog, register their file type or use the Recent Items API). Programs are able to replace the default MRU (Most Recently Used) list with a system-maintained MFU (Most Frequently Used) list, should their destinations be very volatile. For example, while Word will benefit from a MRU just like the one in their File Menu, Windows Explorer has opted to enable the MFU because people tend to visit many paths throughout a session. Programs are also able to provide their own custom destination list when they have a greater expertise of the person's behavior (e.g. IE exposes their own history). Still others like Windows Live Messenger and Media Player surface tasks or a mix of tasks and destinations.
In case we haven't yet impressed it upon you, the taskbar is about a single place to launch and switch. Jump Lists offer another important piece of the puzzle as it surfaces valuable destinations and tasks off a program's unified taskbar button.
All the major web browsers offer tabs and a method of managing these tabs. One could argue tab toolbars are really like taskbars since they facilitate switching. These TDI (Tabbed Document Interface) and MDI (Multiple Document Interface) programs have always resorted to creating their own internal window management systems as the Windows taskbar was not optimized to help their scenarios. Some programs like Excel did custom work to surface their child windows on the taskbar, but this approach was somewhat of a hack.
Since the new taskbar already groups individual windows of a program under a single button, we can now offer a standard way for programs that have child windows to expose them. Again, the taskbar offers a single, consistent place to access real windows as well as child windows. These custom window switchers also behave as regular windows on the taskbar with rich thumbnails and even Aero Peek.
In the earlier taskbar posts, we discussed how Windows Media Player's deskband offers valuable background music controls, but only a mere 3% of sessions ever enjoy the functionality. The new taskbar exposes a feature called Thumbnail Toolbars that surface up to seven window controls right in context of taskbar buttons. Unlike a Jump List that applies globally to a program, this toolbar is contextual to just a specific window. By embracing this new feature, Media Player can now reach a majority of people.
Fig 6. Thumbnail Toolbar: Window controls easily accessible in context of a taskbar thumbnail
Thumbnail Toolbars leave the taskbar uncluttered and allow relevant tasks to be conveniently accessible directly from a taskbar thumbnail. Surfacing tasks reduces the need to switch to a window.
We're happy to announce that the Notification Area is back under your control. By default, only a select few system icons are shown while all others appear in a menu. Simply drag icons on or off the taskbar to control the experience. Better yet, every balloon tip that appears in the system has a little wrench icon that allows one to quickly "swat" an annoying alert by immediately seeing what is causing the notification and a direct way to disable it.
Fig 7. Notification Overflow: By default icons appear in an overflow area that you can then promote
Interestingly a very popular change to Notification Area isn't about reducing noise, but rather showing more information. The default taskbar now reveals both the time and the date. Finally!
Cleaning the Notification Area warrants us to consider other ways that programs can surface important information. We'll always had overlay icons throughout Windows (e.g. to show shortcuts in Explorer) so we decided to bring this functionality to the taskbar. An icon can now be shown over a program's taskbar button. Furthermore, programs can also give feedback about progress by having their taskbar button turn into a progress bar.
Fig 8. Progress Bars: Explorer utilizes taskbar progress to show a copy operation in process
A program can now easily show an icon or progress in context of its taskbar button which furthers the one place, one button philosophy of the taskbar.
Color hot-track is a small touch that typifies the new taskbar's personality. When a person moves her mouse over a running program on the taskbar, she will be pleasantly surprised to find that a light source tracks her mouse and the color of the light is actually based on the icon itself. We calculate the most dominant RGB of the icon and dynamically paint the button with this color. Color hot-track provides a delight factor, it offers feedback that a program is running and it showcases a program's icon. We've always believed that programs light up the Windows platform and now, we're returning the favor.
Fig 9. Color Hot-track: moving the mouse across a running window reveals a dynamically colored light effect
Vista introduced several changes to the Start Menu so we decided to minimize churn to this UI in Windows 7. Notable improvements include the availability of Jump Lists and a better power button that defaults to Shutdown, but makes it easy to customize.
Despite all the features of the new taskbar, it is worthwhile noting the UI retains its familiarity. We like to describe our work as evolutionary, not revolutionary. The taskbar continues to be a launch surface, a window switcher and a whisperer of notifications. Whether one is relatively new to Windows or a seasoned pro, we realize change comes at a cost. It is for this reason that we took the time to carefully evaluate feedback, we performed numerous studies to validate our designs and finally, we will continue to provide scoped settings that keep the UI flexible.
We hope this post provided more insight into the new Windows 7 taskbar. Expect future discussions on our design process, how we tested our features and advanced functionality for all you enthusiasts.

I generally am excited about the changes, but one thing I'd really like to see:
Make it scalable! I realize that will invariably bring up even more comparisons with the OSX Dock, but they're here already - let's not repeat Flip3D please. :)
With high DPI displays continuing to proliferate there shouldn't be any reason why there's fixed icon sizes on the taskbar, especially when almost everything else in the Explorer can scale.
That scalability should also extend to the thumbnails - a nice slider in the control panel to control the size of the thumbnail previews would be great.
" "We also changed the Vista behavior so that when a window is maximized, both the taskbar and the window's title bar continue to remain open and translucent. We received lots of feedback on Vista that many people didn't like these UIs turning opaque and dark."
Please make this a user preference. I, for one, *do* like the taskbar and title bar turning dark when maximized. On my (black) ThinkPad and (black-bezeled) desktop monitors, the black taskbar and title bar visually recede into the bezel, focusing attention on the client area of the window. I believe this was actually the design intent of this feature, and it works great! If you turn this off by fefault, at least preserve it as an option."
Definately agree. It is somewhat strange the first time you use Vista, when it switches between transparency and opaque windows. But after using Vista for some time you realise it is a great feature. Most of my serious work is done in full screen mode dedicated to one application. You dont want to see a transparent window in these cases, it's distracting, and unnecessary. The washes of colour that show through from the desktop make the window look muddy.
Oh and now that icons can have coloured glows on them, or under them. Can we have colour marking of files and folders. This would be a very nice feature, that can be used to focus your attention during a project, or point something out when someone is looking through a network. Surely colour marking folders and files hasn't been patented by apple
scaleable taskbar would be awesome, not snapping, just gradually bigger, all icons scale at same time, and reposition themselves.(not really a must have feature, but very nice)
Manually drag windows into an icon stack. Maybe windows doesn't know two windows are related, and should be grouped together under one icon. Let the user artifically overide groupings. So custom icon stacks..Then click "Consolidate Windows", then windows snap back to original style. Similar feature is in Adobe CS4
@RedSign: That's good to know :) But perhaps it could be configurable: middle click, or double click (the default). I think making it middle-click only would be a big mistake, particularly for usability on a notebook!
I'm really excited and appreciative of the great work being done here.
"Overlay Icons and Progress Bars" is really cool and creative. Perhaps this concept can be extended via application hooks to show number of unread messages for Outlook, Messenger or RSS readers. And for power-users, perhaps it could be used to display resource consumption per applications.
But maybe these ideas will only abuse and misuse a good feature.
The change to the system tray will be appreciated from my end (I currently have 14 icons taking space).
The idea of Aero peek is interesting. This sounds very useful, however I think that I am going to reserve opinions on it until I can actually play around with it. The implementation does have a couple of possible pitfalls that might negate its usefulness.
Jump lists sound really good, though as someone who is regularly swapping between new and old files I am not sure how much benefit this will give me most of the time. One option that might be a possibility (and would be extremely helpful to me) would be a search function (similar to the one in the start menu) in these lists. They simply search all known files that belong to that particular program in the quick launch bar.
For launching a new instance from a running application's icon, you have several options, including clicking the application entry that shows up in the Jump List.
Alternatively, you can middle-click or shift+click the icon itself.
Wy dont remove the Startmenue? Just ad a search menue and a Application Folder to start and add Apps to the Superbar? I think with the Startmenue is not a good way to start apps if you have the superbar...
Wy dont remove the Startmenue? Just ad a search menue and a Application Folder to start and add Apps to the Superbar? I think the Startmenue is not a good way to start apps if you have the superbar...
I have to agree with d_e, SWB, Braden99 and gss4w (and Tihey somewhat):
PLEASE make the window border turn SOLID when the window is maximized. I just LOVE that in Vista. The original design concept is very valid, less distraction away from the content. I really like the solid black (graphite).
Also please make show desktop really show desktop ( I don't like the borders of windows that still show up ).
So far GREAT work on the taskbar.
I would like to add that the start menu now is partly obsolete.
Frequently accessed programs (these are now on the taskbar). Make the taskbar more like a search surface or a 'jumplist' to browse all programs. It's also obsolete to pin programs to the start menu (can now pin to the taskbar).
Tihiy: deskband are now integrated with the small preview window (see figure 6 of this post).
0. Great work guys :)
1. "We also changed the Vista behavior so that when a window is maximized..."
+1 Keep dark and opaque feature.
What should be fixed, is the color inconsistency between maximized windows' slightly colorized title bar and pure gray/black taskbar. My preference: make everything pure gray/black.
2. Fig 3, thumbnails group
In figure 3 example, how do I know which application has opened the thumbnails group?
3. UI visuals
- JumpList's glass borders must be visualy redesigned. A jumplist belongs to menu paradigm. It's not a window.
- Maybe make some adjustements in transparencies for Aero peek. Full glass windows borders could be less visible (alpha 70%?). And why not keep 5%? of clients aera content visible... Just an idea. Maybe just my taste...
some things:
1. I like that the taskbar and the header of the maximized window go black because the eyes focus on the content and aren't distracted by the surroundings. PLEASE give us the option to turn it black in maximized state too!
2. Is it possible to put folders as a deskband in the taskbar like in all versions since Win 95? I use it a lot with my project folders to quickly access files with these deskband menus. It would be bad if the new superbar did not include this because OS X just recently added stacks, lacking such functionality before...
3. The Media Player controls in the superbar lack important features such as the progress control and volume control...
@kozlow JumpList Glass borders are okay in my opinion - even those IntelliSense lists in Visual Studio 2008 on Vista look like these.
Instead they should finally change the ugly menu styles to glass or something (see www.aerotaskforce.com for this kind of wishes)
I love using this interface...great work!
I am looking forward to the Beta...but when will it be announced??????????????

Today, I bought a 30-day FileSonic membership with PayPal, but when finalizing my membership I encountered a 404 on FileSonic. Everything went well though, as PayPal charged my creditcard for $9 and my account details at FileSonic confirm my membership, but I never received a confirmation mail by FileSonic.
I did receive a confirmation by PayPal, and that is the one that I forwarded to [email protected], so I hope that won't be of any inconvenience. Awaiting my MoDaCo Ad Free membership right now.
Got the same 404 on filesonic after payment was done in Paypal.

Rear passengers will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Hyundai Santa Fe than in the Land Rover LR2. The Hyundai Santa Fe will be popular with taller drivers and passengers in the front seat, due to its greater front head- and legroom than the Land Rover LR2.
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Hyundai Santa Fe as you will with the Land Rover LR2, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). When looking only at MSRP, the Hyundai Santa Fe will have less of an impact on your bank account than the Land Rover LR2. Another consideration is the Destination Charge, which is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle to the dealer from where it's built. Both the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Land Rover LR2 have similar Destination Charges.
The Hyundai Santa Fe is a little narrower than the Land Rover LR2, so you'll have an easier time getting in and out of the car in a tight parking spot. If you go with the Hyundai Santa Fe, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Land Rover LR2.
With similar torque, the Hyundai Santa Fe and the Land Rover LR2 are about even in transmitting their respective horsepower to the wheels.
The Hyundai Santa Fe has the same turning radius as the Land Rover LR2, so they both maneuver the same in and out of tight spots.
When considering towing capacity, the Hyundai Santa Fe is clearly the choice over the Land Rover LR2 for pulling heavy loads. The Hyundai Santa Fe has a little more horsepower than the Land Rover LR2.
The Hyundai Santa Fe offers greater seating capacity than the Land Rover LR2, making it a better choice for those who find themselves chauffeuring others around. With the Hyundai Santa Fe, you'll be able to haul more equipment or luggage than the Land Rover LR2.
You'll have greater peace of mind with the more generous basic warranty of the Hyundai Santa Fe than that of the Land Rover LR2.

Add this to your summertime bucket list: Gourmet Glamping. If you're wondering what "glamping" is, think camping but without the roughing it. Sleep in a comfortable bed in a wood-floored canvas tent and eat really, really good food that you cook over an open fire with a guest chef as your guide. Food truly does taste better when it's cooked outdoors, especially when paired with exceptional wines and an amazing group of people.
Here's a look at our recent gourmet glamping trip to Lakedale Resort at Three Lakes on beautiful San Juan Island, Washington, featuring Chef Kyle Nicholson, chef/owner of the island's Duck Soup Inn and Annette Bergevin of Bergevin Lane Vineyards. The forecast called for rain but what we had was a glorious nary a cloud in the sky day filled with canoeing on the lake, long walks throughout the resort's 82 acres, and lots of great food and wine under a clear and starry sky.
The stunning view from the Anacortes ferry as we made our way through the majestic San Juan archipelago is enough to make you weep I'm so lucky tears of joy. This is an area deeply rich in history and resplendent in Mother Nature's beauty; it never ceases to amaze me just how close I live to this wonderland. We arrived at the charming port of Friday Harbor then made the short drive through farms and forest to Lakedale Resort, a serene spot located on three small spring water lakes. The resort boasts a variety of accommodations, including a 10-room lodge complete with a sprawling deck overlooking the main lake and both indoor and outdoor fireplaces, log cabins that sleep small to large groups, canvas tents for glamping, a beautifully refurbished 1972 Airstream trailer, and over 60 campsites perfect for pitching a tent or parking an RV. Rent a canoe, kayak or a paddle boat and try your luck at fishing, or enjoy a leisurely row around on the lake and pick out the lakeside campsites you want for your next trip (like we did).
There's even a cute little General Store to pick up some necessary left behind or why didn't I think of bringing that items ranging from sunscreen and kick boards to wine and gourmet shish kebabs that beg for the grill. Oh, there's a nice supply of Whidbey Island Ice Cream, too. Remember, there is no need to rough it here.
After canoeing we checked in to one of the resort's custom-built, 225-square foot canvas tents (see their other sizes here). Their canvas cabins feature a queen bed with pillow-top bedding, cotton sheets, pillows and a flannel duvet, a table and four chairs, a lantern, storage, and bath linens, as well as a full-size futon that sleeps two. Enjoy their Toasty Toes turndown service where each night they deliver two fleece-covered hot water bottles to toast your toes. It was like having our cat with us on our camping trip!
Lakedale's glampground is open from May 1 through September 30 and features 16 glampsites. Your canvas tent also comes with a "front porch" complete with four chairs, a picnic table, umbrella and a fire ring (stocked with logs and kindling) perfect for toasting marshmallows. There's no electricity, internet service, or running water, however, it's just a short walk to the shower facilities. Complimentary wireless Internet access is available at the General Store, but we recommend shutting down those devices to fully enjoy your digital detox in the woods.
We headed to the site of our gourmet dinner where three fires were going strong. Chef Kyle Nicholson of Duck Soup Inn walked us through the evening's local menu, pointing out its focus on foraged ingredients like Miner's lettuce and the hard-to-find sea beans. Annette Bergevin of Bergevin Lane Vineyards in Walla Walla paired her wines (a Chardonnay, Viognier and Syrah) with our multi-course menu. Noticing our collective drooling she began opening bottles and Kyle passed around an amuse-bouche of a smoked tuna and Castelvetrano olive pâté served on a slice of raw turnip and garnished with chive blossoms. The cooking was to commence, so Kyle pointed us to the various stations (you can be as involved in the cooking process as much or as little as you'd like, it's all about fun here!).
We toss some asparagus and baby fennel fronds over one of the fires and sat back to enjoy a glass of wine and our fellow guests. Once our greens had a nice char to them we plated them on a bed of Meyer lemon crème fraîche and garnished the dish liberally with thinly shaved radish and rose petals. This paired beautifully with Bergevin Lane Vineyards' 2012 Love-Struck Viognier.
Chef Kyle heated up two skillets into which he poured a rice flour-based batter for Vietnamese Crepes. The crisp and lacy crepes were filled with fresh local Salish spot prawns, smoked Jones Family Farms pork belly, sweet bull kelp pickles, and foraged Miner's lettuce. We drizzled a little sweet and spicy Vietnamese dipping sauce over the warm crepes and sipped our 2012 She-Devil Chardonnay, a splendidly crisp and well-balanced no-oak wine.
On another fire our glamping mates were grilling up Snake River Farms Skirt Steaks which they thinly sliced and served over a bed of Blue Bird Grain Farms farro spiked with lemon and herbs. Local and hard-to-find sea beans, a salty and edible succulent from the sea, were chopped up and mixed with herbs, becoming an Argentine-style chimichurri with a local twist. What a springtime treat these sea beans were! Out came the Bergevin Lane Vineyards 2010 Princess Syrah, a lush and velvety red that does a sultry dance on your tongue.
When you camp, you must always leave room for s'mores. Our gourmet s'mores consisted of layers of sliced Washington Honey Crisp apples that we pan roasted over the fire, Benedictine-spiked dark chocolate truffles, and carefully toasted Douglas spruce-infused marshmallows that we nestled between homemade gingersnaps. Yes, I shed another gratefully tear, especially when Chef Kyle told us the tender spring tips of the Douglas spruce were used to infuse his simple syrup. (Check out our short and fun video of this event here).
I could definitely get used to this gourmet glamping stuff.

After yoga, I like to eat a doughnut to seal my practice. Namastasty.
My name is George. I moved to the Twin Cities from France two years ago. Several years spent living and traveling around much of western Europe have left me with interesting stories and a palette for spontaneous adventures. I am lighthearted, good-natured, and love to make people laugh. In my free time, I like to run a lot, socialize with friends, work on random projects, and learn about new things. My type is bright and witty. You are genuine and comfortable in your skin. You take care of yourself enough to feel like you have some sort of balance in your life. You like to be happy. I don't have an agenda. I'm more interested in doing fun things with interesting women--my interpretation of "dating". If there is a spark, chemistry will sort out the rest. In the meantime, it's just a cup of coffee with room for possibility. Note: I am not originally from France, or Minnesota for that matter. That being said, I appreciate both accents.

I define sleep as a multifaceted process that happens every 24 hours and that should last seven to nine hours in adults and as long as nine and a half hours in adolescents. During sleep, consciousness is significantly reduced, we disconnect from our surroundings, and our bodies engage in restorative functions—making proteins, hormones, and neurotransmitters—that enable growth, learning, and mood stabilization. Basically, sleep affects every aspect of functioning. It heals the previous day's stresses and strains—perhaps a pulled muscle or a cold—and gives us the mental and physical energy we need to function the next day—without being too grouchy. Sleep lets us—more likely, our teens!—run the 50-yard dash in the state track competition and allows us to think clearly and learn figures and facts. Adequate nighttime rest takes a body and mind that are worn out from their day and brings both back to a clean baseline.
Although sleep is a time during which we look quiet, there's actually a great deal of metabolic, or physical and chemical, activity taking place. Much of that activity takes place in the brain. Years ago scientists believed that, because the body looked quiet, the brain was quiet too and was resting like the body. But with the invention of the electroencephalograph, which uses small metal cups glued to the scalp to record microvolts of brain wave, or EEG, activity, scientists learned that the brain, as well as the body, is hard at work while we sleep.
Sleep is critical to helping both the mind and the body maintain physical and psychological well-being. But more than 50 million Americans as well as millions of people around the world report difficulty sleeping. That means that many of us, including teens, are not living as well as we could.
How much sleep do we need to fuel our potential? I've already said that the ideal amount of sleep for adolescents is eight and a half to nine and a half hours. But it's not much less for adults: seven to nine hours (in my practice I call seven hours the lowest legal limit of sleep). And babies and small children need tons of it. But needing it and getting it are two very different things.
The 24/7 society we live in, overloaded with electronic tools and all forms of entertainment, is a major reason we don't get the sleep we

SHELTON, Conn., March 30, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Cara Therapeutics, Inc. today announced the appointment of James B. Jones, M.D., Pharm.D., to the position of Chief Medical Officer. In this role, Dr. Jones will oversee the ongoing clinical development of Cara's lead drug candidate, CR845, a novel, peripherally-restricted kappa opioid agonist, which is currently in Phase 2 development for treatment of post-operative pain.
"We are delighted to add someone of Jim's clinical background and drug development experience to the Cara team," said Derek Chalmers, President and CEO of Cara Therapeutics. "We look forward to benefiting from his considerable success in developing novel analgesics as we continue the clinical development of CR845."

Pole Waxers UniversityRead MoreAt most universities, students learn history, math, and science by poring over dense textbooks or listening to lectures by stodgy textbooks. But, at Pole Waxers University, students take a hands-on approach to learning the art of sensual dance. The instructors at this ladies-only studio guide women of all shapes and sizes through pole-dancing techniques and aerial-dance moves, helping each guest reach her own personal pinnacle of fitness. And not all of the studio's classes take place in midair—students can also hone their twerking skills or Zumba prowess.1647 Canton RdMarietta, GA US
Street Studio Dance & FitnessRead MoreStreet Studio's specialized instructors blend dynamic cardio workouts with street- and world-dance styles, garnering press attention from Fox and CBS as they help students boogie toward toned physiques. Each week, instructors host more than 15 Zumba and Flirty Girl Fitness courses, which impart a repertoire of musically synced moves for attendees to twirl off unwanted calories and koalas clinging to upper arms. Coach gams in ballet, tap, and jazz daytime dance programs, or, under the tutelage of renowned instructor Jimmy Rumba during Tuesday Night Salsa School, harness the power of spicy shimmies. Each salsa student receives a bachata or cha-cha bonus in each class and a salsa practice CD. Morning fitness classes pose participants into yoga and Pilates tableaus, while kickboxing courses prepare legs to knock out doors and back-talking drywalls. Bodies jive atop the dance studio's hardwood floors in view of bright graffiti murals and a glimmering disco ball. Alternatively, the pole program imparts spinning techniques that strive to boost core strength and confidence. The intimate Wild Orchid pole studio pairs visitors with one of five poles for highly personalized lessons, divulging spiraling maneuvers and advanced tips for high-speed routines aboard carousels.23 Oak StreetRoswell, GA US
Peace Love and Unity Wellness StudioRead MorePeace, Love, and Unity: these are the pillars upon which this studio stands. Designed as an alternative to big, impersonal gyms, the family-owned-and-operated center fosters fun and mind-body-spirit harmony alongside fitness. A women-oriented self-defense class, Divas in Defense, adds an empowering edge to a class catalog that includes yoga, Pilates, and Zumba. Those seeking positive inner health may consult with a life coach or practice mediation. Soothing massage therapy and reflexology keep bodies from posing as bread dough to receive a proper kneading.1080 Upper Hembree RdRoswell, GA US
Dance It OffRead MoreClasses at Dance It Off keep beginner and intermediate dancers moving to diverse beats. For instance, Zumba, cardio dance funk and musical theater Broadway dance pay homage to two American-born genres. The new cardio world class pulls dance moves from countries all over the globe to create its fusion routines. And in addition to dance, the studio also offers strictly fitness classes such as yoga flow, Piloxing, and barre fitness.6780 Roswell RdSandy Springs, GA US
Dancefx AthensRead MoreThroughout the day, feet pound the floors of Dancefx to a multitude of classic and modern beats. With a packed schedule of classes, including adult hip hop and kids? jazz, the non-profit studio uses dance to benefit the community, directing its proceeds towards an array of local charities. In addition to classes, Dancefx sponsors four separate dance companies and hosts summer camps, private lessons, and birthday parties.8465 Holcomb Bridge RoadAlpharetta, GA US
Atlanta Zumba DanceRead MoreNo one has ever trained for the lead in Swan Lake just to tighten their abs, but dancers, choreographers, and Atlanta Zumba Dance instructors Faaridah and Nahari both agree that it comes with the territory. That's why they've channeled their experiences in the performing arts into a platform for dance-based fitness instruction. Faaridah was particularly drawn to Zumba because of her Caribbean and Hispanic heritage, and Nahari has been a student of Middle Eastern dances for nearly a decade, so their curriculum of Zumba and belly dancing was a natural fit. Students can shed pounds and throw on their shiniest layer of sweat during Zumba classes, a 60-minute dance-based aerobic workout with easy-to-follow choreography performed to a soundtrack of Latin rhythms. The dance moves are an amalgam of styles that includes elements of salsa, cha-cha, merengue, flamenco, and tango. Classes at Atlanta Zumba Dance always begin with a warm-up, followed by intervals of faster and slower tempos. Visits conclude with a cool-down and stretch session. In addition to group classes, patrons may rent the studio for a private-lesson Zumba party or to spin around in an office chair without anyone telling them that they'll get sick.500 Bishop Street NorthwestAtlanta, GA US

|politician and writer
Miguel Antonio Otero II (October 17, 1859 – August 7, 1944), nicknamed "Gillie," was the 16th Governor of New Mexico Territory from 1897 to 1906 and in later life the author of several books on Western lore. He was the son of Miguel Antonio Otero, a prominent businessman and New Mexico politician.[1][2]
Early life[edit]
Miguel Antonio Otero had an adventurous boyhood as his father, a businessman and railroad baron, moved the family from town to town across Kansas, Colorado, and New Mexico. The family established a permanent home in Las Vegas, New Mexico about 1879. He attended St. Louis University and the University of Notre Dame with his older brother Page, but preferred socializing to studying. He returned to Las Vegas in 1880 to work in his father's bank.
Career as politician[edit]
While working as a banker, land broker, and livestock broker in Las Vegas, Otero began his career in politics. In a few years, he served as city clerk, probate clerk, county clerk, and recorder, and district court clerk. In 1892 he served as a delegate to the Republican National Convention and met Ohio Senator William McKinley. When McKinley was elected President in 1896, he appointed Otero governor of the Territory of New Mexico. Given Otero's youth (37 years), his meager statewide experience, and his lack of support from either political party, the appointment was somewhat of a surprise. The Otero name was well known in New Mexico, however, and initially he was supported by a wide range of constituencies.
As New Mexico moved towards statehood, Otero survived struggles against a variety of political factions in his own party. After McKinley's assassination, he survived a particularly brutal battle with Thomas B. Catron to earn reappointment by President Theodore Roosevelt. The infighting eventually took its toll, and in 1906, Roosevelt replaced Otero after more than eight years in the governor's mansion.
At 46, Otero was still a young man when he left office. He returned to banking and mining interests for a while, then served as state treasurer from 1909 to 1911. Otero attempted a comeback as governor in 1912, but failing to receive the Republican nomination, bolted for the Progressive Party. In later years he received numerous other commissions, including four years (1917 to 1921) as marshal of the Panama Canal.
In 1936, Otero published The Real Billy the Kid; With New Light on the Lincoln County War. After William Bonney was jailed in Las Vegas in 1880, Otero and his brother Page rode with the prisoner as he was transported by train from Las Vegas to Santa Fe. Remaining in Santa Fe for a while, the pair visited the Kid in jail many times, bringing him tobacco, gum, and sweets, and generally finding him a sympathetic, if misguided, figure. Written some fifty years after Pat Garrett's original account, Otero's was the first book to present Billy the Kid in a relatively positive light. The book was edited - some say ghost written - by Marshall Latham Bond whose father Hiram Bond was involved in trading with the Otero family out of Denver after 1872 and who owned a hundred square mile ranch in the area during the Lincoln County War.
Sandwiched around this book, Otero authored a three-part autobiography. The first installment, My Life on the Frontier, 1864–1882, was published in 1935 and covered the adventures of his youth through age 23, when his father died suddenly. My Life on the Frontier, 1882–1897 dealt with his early career in public service. My Nine Years as Governor of the Territory of New Mexico, 1897–1906 chronicles the turmoils of New Mexico on the verge of statehood.
The first book of the memoir is especially captivating, as Otero recalls several encounters with Western icons such as Kit Carson, Wild Bill Hickok, Gen. George Armstrong Custer, Doc Holliday, Bat Masterson, and Jesse James.
The Otero Letter[edit]
Ironically, one of the few famous names that Otero failed to drop in his autobiography has stirred debate among Wild West scholars. A carbon copy of a letter discovered at a flea market in 2001 and apparently written by Otero, places him in Albuquerque in April 1882, giving aid to Wyatt Earp and the rest of his party as they concluded their Vendetta Ride out of Tombstone, Arizona. In My Life on the Frontier: 1864–1882 (p. 217), Otero mentions the Earp brothers only as friends of Doc Holliday, providing no hint of the incident detailed in the "Otero Letter." By coincidence, it is fairly easy to establish that during most of this two-week period Otero was in Denver, where his father had just been swindled out of $2,400 by Doc Baggs, a notorious con man. Otero, who was traveling with his father, spent most of this period attempting to retrieve his father's bank note through various means. This and other factual problems with the letter have caused some experts to question its authenticity.
- ^ http://www.newmexicohistory.org/filedetails.php?fileID=23589
- ^ The naming of the three generations of Oteros is confusing and has been muddled by writers through the years.
- According to available evidence, the first Otero did not add any suffix to his name after his son was born. Modern historians often append Sr., but this cannot be considered correct as his son never used Jr. In My Life on the Frontier, 1864–1882, his son gave Otero the parenthetical suffix (I), but this probably was never used during Otero's lifetime.
- The second Otero also referred to himself without a suffix. But when clarification was necessary, as when describing his family in his autobiography, My Life on the Frontier, he used the parenthetical suffix (II) and specifically not Jr., since that is what he called his son. It is incorrect to refer to the second Otero as Jr.
- The third Otero was known as Miguel Antonio Otero, Jr. But in My Life on the Frontier, his father also refers to him as Miguel Antonio Otero (IV) -- not (III).
- Otero, New Mexico (ghost town in Colfax County), named in 1879.
- Otero County, Colorado, named in 1889.
- Otero County, New Mexico, named in 1899 while Miguel Antonio Otero (II) was territorial governor.

19-year-old Marlin Dean, Scott Dean's adopted daughter, in jail for burglary charges (WRDW-TV, July 21, 2012)
Tuesday, Aug. 14, 2012
COLUMBIA COUNTY, Ga. -- News 12 has learned the daughter of former Columbia County Commissioner Scott Dean has been denied bond.
The judge refused to grant a bond for 19-year-old Marlin Dean, saying she is a "flight risk."
The alleged victim is Renee Dean, Marlin's adopted mother, who reported about $20,000 in missing jewelry.
Marlin's adopted father, Scott, is serving a 20-year prison sentence after being convicted of two counts of child molestation in December.
He was convicted of sexually molesting one of his other adopted daughters, touching her and exposing himself to her.

This year there have been several changes, in the way nominations are handled, the lack of juries for all awards except the Norton, the way nominees are notified, and the fact that last year the Bradbury was given for a body of work, but this year it is being given for a specific film, the award formerly known as the Nebula for Best Script.
Science fiction fans, try to be somewhere near a computer at 10am Eastern tomorrow, because SFWA will be making its formal announcement of this year's nominees for the Nebula, Norton and Bradbury Awards. The Nebulas will cover novels and short works, while the Norton covers young adult works and the Bradbury covers dramatic works. And I know you're just itchin' to find out who's been nominated. Well, so am I. And we'll all find out together, now, won't we. The initial announcement will be posted the SFWA Web site. See you there. And yes, please feel free to pass on the information.

ISSUE (international study on syncope of uncertain aetiology)
The second important study at the session, the ISSUE 3 registry, showed that diagnosis of NMS, using ESC guidelines on Diagnosis and Management of Syncope,5 could be confirmed with an implantable loop recorders (ILR) in 87% of patients.
"By showing that NMS tilt-negative asystolic patients benefit most from cardiac pacing, the study inverts previous knowledge on indications for pacing. Prior to this registry, cardiac pacing for NMS had only been evaluated in patients with positive tilt test responses and no indications had existed for patients with negative tilt test results," said Professor Michele Brignole, presenter of the study.
ISSUE was a prospective registry set up to analyse the diagnostic yield of ILRs in specific subgroups of patients with syncope of uncertain aetiology. The registry took place in Italy, Spain, Germany, France, Canada, The Netherlands and UK. For the ISSUE 3 registry, between July 2006 and November 2010, 504 patients with suspected NMS, according to criteria laid down in guidelines, had an implantable loop recorder (IRL) fitted. Entry criteria included being older than 40 years and having experienced more than three episodes of syncope in the previous two years thought to be neurally mediated. Guidelines6 state that a likely diagnosis of NMS can be made when patients have a consistent history and competing diagnoses have been excluded.
Results show that a confirmed diagnosis could be achieved in 187 patients, with ILR findings in 162 of these patients (87%) being consistent with a likely diagnosis of NMS, and IRL findings in 25 patients (13%) allowing NMS to be ruled out. Of the 162 patients with IRL findings sug

Parker to miss about four weeks
Tony Parker will be out about four weeks with a sprained left ankle, a critical blow to the San Antonio Spurs, who are off to their worst start in 12 years.
An MRI taken Saturday confirmed the injury to the Spurs' star guard, who was hurt during a 99-83 loss to the Miami Heat on Friday — two nights after scoring a career-high 55 points against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Parker was driving for a layup when he rolled his ankle.
The 26-year-old Parker was using crutches and wearing a protective boot while watching Sunday's practice. He was second in the league in scoring behind LeBron James at 27.4 points per game.
The Spurs are 1-4 and play at home against the New York Knicks on Tuesday. In 1996, they opened the season 1-5.
Parker will be replaced by either rookie George Hill or 12th-year veteran Jacque Vaughn.

It doesn't have to be wintertime for me to use my slow cooker; this slow cooker pork roast is a perfect example of that. I think I tend to use it more often in the cold weather, but it's perfect for warmer days too as we tend to be a lot busier then. Think about that. During the winter your kids probably don't participate in sports, unless they are hockey players or ice skaters. However, in the spring things really get busy with baseball practice, soccer and if your boys are in high school, training for the upcoming football season. So for those busy weeknights, the slow cooker tends to look better and better, doesn't it?
This pork roast is coated in a rub and allowed to sit, so your best bet is to prepare the meat the night before and allow it to sit in the fridge overnight. Place it in the slow cooker the following morning for a great dinner that night! You can use a pork loin, which are often on sale at Sam's Club for a great price, or a pork butt.
You'll need to allow yourself about 10 minutes in the morning to get this going. If you mix together the soy sauce, sherry, brown sugar, broth and anise the night before, you can store it in the fridge in a bag and pull it out the next morning. That way all you'll really need to do is pull the Crock Pot out of the cabinet, brown the meat on all sides in a skillet, then deglaze the pan with the soy sauce mixture. It all goes into the slow cooker for the day and you'll come home to a delicious home cooked meal.
That night, all you'll have to do is add a side (some quick minute rice works great) and serve! I like the Uncle Ben's flavored rices that cook up in about 10-15 minutes. Steam some fresh vegetables and there you have it. Enjoy!
NOTE: Slow cookers, like ovens, vary in how hot they cook. Because pork can easily dry out you may want to check your dish after about 5 hours and see how it tastes then gauge from there.

Sounds delicious; bookmarked!
Wonderful slow cooker recipe! I use mine all year long too!
deee-lish. I use my slow cooker allllll year long!
[…] Source: Amanda's Cookin […]
Is there something similar I can substitute for the star anise? Thanks so much!
This looks good. About how many people will it serve?
[…] found on the M&T Spotlight page is such a great alternative to chicken or beef. Amanda from Amanda's Cookin' tells us how to marinate this pork roast, throw it into the slow cooker, and then a few hours later […]
I made this recipe last wk. Didn't have star anise so substituted w/1-1/2 tsp of Chinese 5 Spice, it worked pretty good. Not sure if the flavors were supposed to be as intense as they were but we didn't mind. It was fall apart tender but non-the-less I was vry disappointed in how dry the meat came out :( My husband watched the liquid level for me but said he didn't have to really add that much. We really liked the unique flavor & the au jus was gr8 to dip in2 (I froze the lftovrs). And made pulled pork sandwiches the nxt day w/a homemade bbq sce, they were pretty good.
Could the dryness be due to the crock pot sz (I used my 7 qt instead of my 5)? Should the liquid actually been enuff to cover the meat (I assume not, since u don't say that in ur directions)? I had marinated it the day b4 I had intended to cook it but wasn't able to so it marinated in the frig for an addt'l 12 hrs. Altho I don't think so but would that have sumthin to do w/it? Otherwise, I followed the recipe precisely.
I look 4ward to your insight Amanda.
