Food From My Frontier
Boy, oh boy. Oh boy. I'm excited.
This is my new cookbook, which I've been working on for…ever. Okay, not forever. But for a long, long time. It's finished now. Well, pretty much finished.
My first cookbook, The Pioneer Woman Cooks, will always be my first love. I had no idea what I was doing when I wrote that sucker, and I didn't care. I embraced it and ran with it and I'll always be so glad I did. You all were so supportive of me. You made the whole experience memorable, special, and something I'll never forget.
When I set out to start work on my second cookbook, I was a little more comfortable in my skin. I knew I didn't want to just do a second volume of the first one. I wanted to step things up in both the food and photography realm and really deliver on the grub so there'd never be any shortage of good stuff inside.
So while (I repeat) my first cookbook will always be my one true love, my second cookbook is now my new best friend:
* It's bigger, bro.
* It's got more pages, man.
* The photos are larger, mo' crisp, and mo' better.
* There are
over a hundred 119 total recipes. I have the jiggle to prove it. I done et it all.
* I include two or three variations at the end of each recipe so that you can turn the basic recipes into totally different dishes. Options!
Here are a few sample spreads. They have the same overall look and feel of the first…just stepped up a little.
A lot.
Here's a closer look:
But I think you already knew that.
The recipes in this cookbook are a mix of old classics that I've retested, revamped, and rephotographed, recent favorites that are not to be missed, and brand new recipes I've never shared before. There are plenty of Breakfasts, loads of Lunches, tons of Dinners (both casual and elegant) and many, many Sweets, as well as separate sections for Soups, Pasta & Pizza. And because munchies are my life, the Starters/Party Food section is particularly beefy.
And chickeny.
And shrimpy.
And cheesy.
And dippy.
I'll stop now.
Here are few more peeks at the yummy stuff inside:
I'm not sure if I've mentioned this, but I sorta kinda love food.
Oh, and my camera is a complete wreck. It's covered in many interesting (and sticky) substances.
Food From My Frontier is available here:
Barnes and Noble
Indie Bound
…As well as lotsa awesome indies all over the land.
The eBook
Food From My Frontier is also available in an incredible new eBook format for iPads. If you're an iPad user, it's pretty groovy!

Thank you guys, as always, for your support. As I cooked and photographed and wrote and edited and kept adding more recipes and pages to the book…and completely destroyed the kitchen over and over and over…I kept you in my mind. I wanted to make a cookbook full of food that you'd absolutely love, because I love all of you.

So excited about your new cookbook. I've been using your other cookbook so much…love the homemade chicken pot pie, it's one of my favs. Please, please come to Kansas. We would love to see you. You are awesome!!
Deborah Wainwright On Wednesday, January 4 at 7:57 am
Just got the first cookbook at our office Christmas party. I love it! The illustrations and the recipes are great! I made the creamy mashed potatoes recently and they are simply delicious to say the least! Can't wait to get the next book.
Bev On Wednesday, January 4 at 11:37 am
Come to Lynchburg, VA!!!! Puhleeeeeez!!!
Alicia On Wednesday, January 4 at 4:42 pm
We bought the first cookbook for our daughter last year and this year I bought it for myself. I made several recipes out of it over the holidays and everything was seriously delicious. My family is still raving about how delicious everything was – no leftovers! Particular hits were the meatballs and the enchiladas. Trying the chicken pot pie tonight, I'm sure it will be great. Thanks for such a reliable cookbook.
lori On Wednesday, January 4 at 8:30 pm

Emily On Thursday, January 5 at 10:33 am

Katherine On Thursday, January 5 at 6:45 pm

Denise Larson On Thursday, January 5 at 10:51 pm
I found your cookbook when I was shopping at Target. At the time I did not realize what I picked up, a website, a show on food network and reading a blog "which I never do!" Bravo to you and everything you have done for the women who love to cook.
Jenny J. On Friday, January 6 at 1:28 am

Hannah On Friday, January 6 at 12:32 pm
I am so excited about your new cookbook. I've always been scared of cookbooks. I am a picture and step by step learner so your format is so perfect for me. It makes cooking much less scary and makes it seem incredibly do-able.
Cheryl On Friday, January 6 at 1:28 pm
Come back to Bartlesville…your hometown loves you!
Cara On Friday, January 6 at 2:56 pm
Raleigh is a nice place to have a book signing.

Stephanie On Saturday, January 7 at 2:33 pm
I think you should come to Salmon, ID It's in the middle of nowhere, but we have a fantastic view of the mountains! I just got your cookbook from the library, and I'll be making Linguine with Clam Sauce this week. After moving from the city to nowhere's-ville, I've taken up cooking, so I can still eat well (I learned to make sushi!). Your recipes and stories that go with them are fantastic. I'm hoping to own both of your cookbooks right around my birthday in March. I've hinted that I want them…ok, flat-out stated that I want/need them! Thanks for your blog, I love it!!!
Stephanie Bell On Saturday, January 7 at 4:35 pm
I'm SOOO excited about the new cookbook! I recommend your books to EVERYONE!!
I am a young wife married to my Love for almost three years, and I didn't really know how to cook. A friend of mine showed me her "Pioneer Woman" cookbook and I fell in love! The pictures make it so easy, and your personality make it even better! I've been using it for a little over a year, and since my sister just got her own place, and is learning how to cook, I knew this would be the perfect one for her to use. It is one of her favorite Christmas gifts!!
Thank you!
carol On Saturday, January 7 at 4:48 pm
Love your recipes. Look forward to getting your cook book.
Linda L. S. On Saturday, January 7 at 6:11 pm
Ree, I hope so much that this book tour will not be threatened by snow and/or ice. Oklahoma, for sure.
Also, will you please notify us here on your website when you may be on national tv, such as Good Morning America, to promote your book? I always miss these appearances and am always so disappointed. I have my trusty DVR ready to go. Thank you so much.
tracey On Saturday, January 7 at 6:35 pm
Your recipes,pictures,personal stories give your book the extras to make it my kinda cookbook. U have got to come back to central OHIO.. Cant wait for March to get my copy!!
Christy Swanberg On Saturday, January 7 at 8:22 pm

Lol can't wait for the new cookbook. Cheers and thanks for all you have done, do and will do. We just love ya!
Liz in MT On Saturday, January 7 at 10:21 pm
I'm sitting here finishing off a plate of your BBQ Meatballs over rigatoni noodles when I see your new cookbook and the sneak peak pages…I can't wait for it to come out. We live in Montana, finally cookbooks where I can pronounce the ingredients and find them at the local grocery store. Consider Great Falls Montana as a stop on your tour
Andrea On Saturday, January 7 at 11:33 pm
Awesome! Everything I've tried of yours has been a huge hit! And for the first time in my life (I'm 42) I made cinnamon rolls this Christmas–and it WAS easy!!! Thank you! My neighbors thank you!
You should come to Poulsbo, WA –it's a great ferry ride across the water (Puget Sound) from Seattle. So quaint and darling!!! You'd love it!

Carol S. On Wednesday, January 11 at 2:09 pm
I ordered 3 books so far. NO – they're not all for me. I've got so many people hooked on PW so I ordered the books for them for birthdays (all in January).
HOW ABOUT COMING TO BETHLEHEM, PA. We're a great little town (ok – we're not too little. Ever hear of the Bethlehem Steel? That was us.) We're also known as Christmas City, USA. We'd show you a good time cause we're full of friendly folks.

You should definitely start your tour in Kansas City! We are known for our barbeque and You would love it here! Kansas City is the city to begin and who knows maybe I could hook you up! Cannot wait for your new cookbook!
Karen On Thursday, January 12 at 9:06 am
Oh. My. GOODNESS!!!
I am all-a-twitter (that's good, by the way) waiting for your new cookbook. Thanks, in advance, for all the hard work (and bite after bite after bite…) you have "endured" on ~my~ behalf while writing and testing all the deliciousness you included in the new cookbook.
Ya know Ree, I think you should make a book tour stop in Kansas. In fact, McPherson would be IDEAL! However, as I don't mind making a small drive to see you, I could even "handle" having you stop in Wichita, KS. Yep, it's all settled then. I think Kansas should be on your itinerary. Just sayin'.
Sharon D, Oneonta, Alabama On Thursday, January 12 at 10:06 am
Good Morning, I just love the first book, I read it almost every day, and I have already purchased the second, I got mine from Walmart on line, I wish it were March already, but I have something to look forward to……………….With the book tour it would be GREAT if you came to lets say Williams Sonoma, and you could give us a sample of something out of the book………..the closest one to me is an hour and fifteen minutes away……..I live outside of Birmingham, way up in the country, way up in the woods in a Log house with my chickens and goats……….I love everything in the first book, Iam fixin to make the cinnamon rolls, the enchiadas were great……..I love all the pictures in the first, I hope with the second you have just as many or more…….you take a mean picture, I wish I could take as good as one as you do, thats on my list for this year……..I think that your just perfect, the real deal nothing phoney…………you just SPARKLE………..I cant wait to maybe meet you in person……….Thank you for the show, and the blog……………………..Sharon.
Kristen On Thursday, January 12 at 10:10 am
I know exactly where you can go on your book tour!
Colorado! More importantly Colorado Springs.
My man is deployed until this summer, so I've been stealing your recipes left and right. I can't wait til he comes home so I can stuff your food into his belly. He's going to love it!

I was in a store last week and this lady came up to me and ask me if I knew Ree Drumming. I said no and she told me to go on your web site so I could see just how much I looked like you. I had on cowboys boots and I have red hair and green eyes. We could maybe we pass for sisters. Me being the older one of course! Make a stop in Wilmington NC on your tour and we will have lunch! My husband also agreed with the lady in the store when I showed him your picture online. I find this all just too funny!
deb On Thursday, January 12 at 10:43 pm
I love your cookbook! I made half your recipes! I grew up on on farm in southern Minnesota, and I am in my fifties, but ask anyone here, I am in my twenties! I love how you cook from your heart and from the earth, it's a rare quality. I watch alot of the food channels, and us women here like fresh and exciting things that we like to use! Like meat, potatoes! My honey processes our beef, pork, fish, elk, squirels, whatever, so is nice to see new ideas. I'm stuck in the what's the vegetable tonight! I can't wait to buy your new cookbook, your old one has food stains on it already, and that's a good book! Anyway, I cook once a week at the American Legion in Waseca, Mn and Friday night it's all on the line, I make over one hundred twice baked potatoes from your book, so hope we do good! Keep on inspiring people like me!
Lisa On Friday, January 13 at 8:11 am

LOVE your first cookbook. My sister gave it to me as a gift and it is my favorite book – no just cookbook. I love photography also but I am still waiting for my dream camera. My husband has now taken over the cookbook so I will just have to get myself the new one. Love your work – wish your show on was at night so us working folks could watch. Please come to Oregon. You came to Portland Oregon previously but was unable to go : ( Thanks for all of your hard work and great receipes.
JoAnn Browning On Saturday, January 14 at 8:50 am
I love your last cookbook and am so looking forward to your next one. What I like is you cook with a realistic approach. So many recipes out there are made with ingredients I never heard of and probably can't afford to use. You make it real. I live in Michigan and we are getting back to the simple pleasures of life. I am making my own greenhouse and growing a vegetable garden in the spring, we bought a wood stove that heats our whole house instead of using gallons of propane. And I also started canning, which is the most fun thing to do. There is something so rewarding about giving your family fresh pickles that I made myself from my own garden. So, I feel your cookbook goes right along with a more simpler time; just good old fashioned food with simple ingredients for a happy family. Thank you!
Leslie On Saturday, January 14 at 10:33 am
I have just found you, well over Thanksgiving, you helped with my turkey…Ree, I'm smitten! Thanks for your creativity and "get-it-done" mentality!
Benje Campbell On Saturday, January 14 at 11:05 am

Karla Jones On Saturday, January 14 at 1:39 pm
My sister Alice turned me on to your website about two years ago and since then I have used many of your recipes and love them all. The Fancy Macaroni was a hit also the Lasagna and spagetti and meatballs. That said I am needing to know where you purchase the pretty blouse's you where on your blog and on your new cooking show. I have only caught one so far and it was on Christmas weekend and I educated everyone on The Pioneer Woman. I hope you see this message and can turn me on to a website or two. Hugs~ Karla

Chris Maynard On Saturday, January 14 at 4:19 pm
Lee, I am so excited to hear you have new cookbook coming out! I live the first one and I have tried almost of the receipes and everyone turned out great. I like your style of down-home cooking, something that people will really eat, and no hard to find ingrediants. I love your show as well, it is so heartwarming to see that some people and work hard, live a simple life and love their family. Most of the news today is discouraging. Keep up the good work and may God bless you and your family.

Kalah Williams On Monday, January 16 at 9:51 am
It would only be polite for me to sit down and hand write a lovely 'thank you" to you for the first cookbook (which I purchased for my November birthday). Most of the recipes are meals I regularly make for my family of 8 but your recipes actually exude flavor – good flavor!!! My very kind husband thanks you!!! I was thinking the other day that I should apply for a commission only sales job as I have delivered yummy meals or goodies while directing my friends to purchase "The Pioneer Woman Cooks". haha
I was thrilled to see, that you have finished a second cookbook and kept the same format for people like me who need step-by-step photos to keep mistakes at bay. Congratulations to you for all the success and thank you for sharing your worthy tips. You know – a long day of homeschooling, cleaning, laundry, and work makes it a drag to create 3 meals a day (and it doesn't help when half the people don't eat anything not covered in cheese and delivered in a fancy square box). But you have made me want to wake up two hours early to get a head start on meals for the day. Thank you.

I was just heading outside my place when I saw a shapely bikini clad brunette catching some rays showing off a nice big pair you can motorboat! I quickly called in the crew to come here stat to check this chick out! I started putting my moves on her and turns out the name of this shapely and tanned temptress was Mariah. I offered her to model some bikinis for me which she obliged. I accidentally walked in on her as she was dressing up and that's when I saw her big perfect tits laid bare. She was surprisingly responsive to my advances and pretty soon I was burying my face on her enormous rack and sucking on her big nipples. She kneels down on the floor and sucked on my big cock then gave me a titty fuck! I then bent her over and poked her pussy with my big swollen meat rod until I glazed her perfect tits with my man chowder!

At that point I could no longer resist so I sucked on those big healthy jugs and rubbed my big meat between her twin peaks! I pumped her pussy hard until I glazed her giant chest pillows with my tasty nut butter!

Famous SEO speaker Brad Fallon once was heard saying that ecommerce was split up in two parts: traffic and conversion. But visitors to your site can only be converted to whatever goal you've set, if your site engages them enough. Kissmetrics enlightened us with this wonderful infographic about what makes people leave your site. Take notes.
Yes, quite true. You've made the message loud n clear, no barriers for the visitors to browse around. Delays, in any form, would result in a lost viewer. This is useful stuff. Regards Jay http://road-to-sanitarium.blogspot.in/

There's something so adorable about watching your parents or grandparents figure out technology. Ya know – it's like when they leave a voicemail on your phone and end it with, "love, mom, " like a letter. They get it, but not completely.
So it was extra precious to see that 83-year-old Hugh Hefner has signed up for Twitter and is now updating his site. Hef's always been, uh, young at heart – what with the reality shows and the super-sexy girlfriends that travel with him like a pack of wolves. But online, the guy actually sounds his age for once!
Since joining the site yesterday, Hef has tweeted about playing dominoes and Uno with his girlfriends and his favorite Cary Grant movie. Even better, he signs off with his name at the end of every post. Grandpa Hef is gonna take the web by storm! [via Buzzfeed. Photo: GettyImages]

Dalton Tanonaka
She was born in Jakarta and attended Jakarta International School. And she happens to be the closest living relative to the 44th President of the United States.
Maya Soetoro-Ng is the 41-year-old maternal half-sister of Barack Obama. The siblings were bound together by their mother, social scientist Ann Dunham-Soetoro, who raised them both in Indonesia and Hawaii.
Maya last visited Jakarta in 2003, well before her famous brother began his march to the White House. The educator came home earlier this month on a mission for the East-West Center in Honolulu, where she lives with her husband Konrad and two children. In this exclusive to the Jakarta Globe and Metro TV, she talks about Indonesia's schools, her brother's re-election chances and returning to the land of her birth.
You haven't been home in nine years, and you haven't been home since your brother was elected. What were your thoughts and impressions coming in from the airport this time?
Well frankly, I didn't recognize anything. The last time I was in Jakarta there were three hotels. So it was Hotel Indonesia, Mandarin and Borobudur, I think. So now there are just so many new buildings, there are so many streets that I think were not part of Jakarta then but have [since] expanded. But the energy is the same.
Your life's work now involves education, and you visited schools on this trip. What jumped out at you from what you saw in and out of the classroom?
You could see that Islam in these schools, it's not what many people believe it to be.
On the outside?
Right, on the outside. It's not sort of insular and narrowly defined. So they were bringing in classes about democracy and working hard to think about civic engagement and the lives of women and rights of women. So these were very hopeful signs. And the children were gorgeous and loving. And the public school was highly competitive and very proud, but it did take a look at the whole child.
From your perspective in the US, what is the perception of Indonesia generally in terms of security, business and perhaps political stature?
Well, I would like for more Americans to know about Indonesia, and to have meaningful information. But in many places in the United States, you know the knowledge of Indonesia would require deliberate breaking down of boundaries and reaching out.
Or watching National Geographic specials. But your brother, of course, did a lot to help the perception and knowledge of this country.
Speaking of your brother — and I have to ask you this — he is in a tough re-election fight this year. How active are you going to be in the campaign this year?
I'm going to do my best this summer. I do have a job which limits my availability in the fall, but I will certainly endeavor to do my part. I would say that it's very important that we Americans not become apathetic or complacent and that we try to discover the same vital and vigorous energy that ignited the nation four years ago.
How confident are you in him being re-elected?
I'm very confident. I have to be; there is simply no other choice.
In his first term, could you see examples or concrete situations where your brother's background, including his four years in Indonesia, was a factor in his accomplishments or his words?
I think that Indonesia played a large part in making him understand that difference is not something that is hopeless. That there are going to be roads and pathways that are navigable, and that we have to keep working. I think that is something that not only our mother gave him, but Indonesia. This experience of having to negotiate with people here, and having to understand other worlds and cultures, and to continue to be loving. I think that his bridge-building tendencies which started with our mother were nourished and nurtured by Indonesia. I think that he has been a very good international figure who has elevated the United States, the image of the United States and the pride in the United States, especially in the international community.
Hawaii native Dalton Tanonaka is the anchor of Metro TV's "Indonesia Now" program on Saturday mornings at 6:30 a.m., and host of "TalkIndonesia" on Sundays at 6:30 a.m. He can be reached at email@example.com.

Here's Mark Steyn on the collective non-response to North Korea's nuke test:
It is remarkable in just five years how the world has adjusted to the inevitability of a nuclear North Korea and a nuclear Iran. Nudge it on another half-decade: Whose nuclear ambitions will be unstoppable by 2015? Syria's? Sudan's? Selected fiefdoms in Somalia?
Meanwhile, speaking in Singapore on Saturday, Defense Secretary Robert Gates said, "We will not stand idly by as North Korea builds the capability to wreak destruction on any target in the region — or on us . . . Our goal is complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, and we will not accept North Korea as a nuclear weapons state."
I remember George W. Bush saying the same thing about Iran.
The meanings of the words "acceptable" and "unacceptable" have taken a funny turn. There used to be a preventative connotation in refusing to accept a certain possible outcome. Now it's more to do with registering an official complaint when faced with that outcome. Later in Gates's speech he was a bit more accurate about where things stand: "At the end of the day, the choice to continue as a destitute international pariah or chart a new course is North Korea's alone to make." He's got that right. Kim will be left alone to do as he pleases. Declaring the unacceptable has become a statement of impotence, not power. At least Barack Obama's preferred "game changer" keeps expectations accurately low.

The most precious resource for consultants, architectural and engineering firms, and similar organizations is time. Revenue is generated when this time is billed to clients, and profits are generated when the cost of doing business is less than revenue. Profits are maximized when individual employees can bill more of their time, at higher rates. While this formula sounds simplistic, achieving the goal is difficult.
The business management system is the vehicle by which this precious time is tracked, applied to the right jobs at the best possible rates, and deployed in a way that efficiently manages the firm. The question then becomes: which business management system? The size of the firm may influence product selection, but in most cases project complexity is the driving force. The key then is to select a product that matches the demands of the projects in which the firm is involved. While there are any number of products that support project costing and project management, we'll focus on four leading products. In the first of a two-part series we'll look at Deltek Vision, as well as Deltek FMS, recently acquired from Wind2 Software. In the second part of the series, User Recommendations for Project-oriented Software, we'll also examine Microsoft Dynamics SL (formerly known as Solomon) and BST Enterprise.
Industry Requirements
Depending on the size of the professional service organization (PSO) (we'll use this term to describe any firm that primarily sells time and expertise), its industry niche, and its specific services, software requirements will vary widely. We'll look at twelve of the most important business functions.
General accounting: Although many people consider the general ledger function to be of little importance, one must remember that it unites all of the underlying accounting processes (paying bills, recording payments, paying employees, and generating financial statements that measure not just job-related performance, but—more importantly—a firm's ability to manage its internal affairs and generate sustainable profits). The general ledger function is in fact a critically important application.
User-defined fields: While professional service organizations all serve the same general industry, the specific industry niche and the manner in which a firm manages its business requires that the system track any number of pieces of information, which will vary from firm to firm. Thus, one of the most important methods of meeting these varying requirements is qualified by the ability of a software product to add fields of specific interest to users.
Customer relationship management (CRM): Success in any business depends on generating a constant stream of new business. While large contracts are coveted (primarily for prestige), it's the smaller projects that fill in the gaps and (in many cases) actually generate higher gross margins. Success is therefore dependent on maintaining constant consumer awareness, identifying opportunities, pursuing these opportunities, and converting them into paying projects. Contact management is important, but in itself will not meet all of the requirements listed above.
Resource management: PSOs sell knowledge, and time is just the vehicle for applying and billing this knowledge. While employee knowledge is important, this knowledge may not be available at all times, due to commitments to existing clients (or because of vacations, sick days, and so on). Therefore, outside knowledge sources (as represented by subcontractors) must also be tracked, and be considered to be part of a firm's resource pool. And in any case, some jobs may require specific equipment that can be applied to jobs. All of these resources must be tracked and applied in such a manner that non-billable time is minimized.
Overhead management and application: While managing overhead costs is important, applying them to jobs can be very complex, particularly for government contractors. In many cases, overhead costs can become billable items, as with hours. The problem is that the method by which the costs are calculated and applied to jobs depends on what the client allows, and sometimes this calculation can become very convoluted.
Billing management: It is relatively easy to bill basic services to a client. However, the PSO market has evolved to the point where billing is an extremely complex undertaking. Rates for each resource depend on the level of knowledge applied; customers may demand preferential billing rates; and project rates will vary depending on the level of competition. All of these factors make the billing process very intricate.
Project estimating and budgeting: While most companies practice budgeting at the general ledger (GL) level, PSOs drive budgeting to individual projects because they have to capture cost information as soon as possible, in order to help control the job as well as bill customers for additional costs when possible. The estimating functions (which generate project budgets) also form the basis for customer quotes.
Project management: Small projects may not require sophisticated control systems. But some projects are so complex that manual controls become ineffective. This is where project management software is critical.
Inventory management: In many cases, materials are purchased specifically for a particular project, meaning that inventory management is not required. However, some firms perform repetitive projects, and in this case it may make sense to purchase materials in bulk, in order to obtain unit price discounts—with the savings from such purchases going straight to the bottom line.
Workflow management: As software has evolved over the past five years, complex business management processes have begun to be supported by some form of workflow management, most notably timesheets.
Exception management: In the case of PSOs, post-project review serves no useful short-term purpose, as the damage has already been done. Exception management tracks key indicators and alerts managers when an indicator crosses some defined threshold. In most cases, this notification is via e-mail, but some products are beginning to list exceptions on the employee's dashboard (if the product supports a dashboard). In some cases, vendors are beginning to tie these exceptions to workflow or task management functions.
Collections management: A project is not complete until the final bill has been paid. Most firms—in all industries—forget this simple business truth. This is also one of the weakest functional areas for most business management systems. Aging reports are inherently inefficient and ineffective. While creating exception alerts for overdue accounts is a step forward, the actual collections process is still manual, and little improvement has been achieved. Dunning letters are really not that effective, since customers can trash the notice and further delay payment. A software-supported collections process will encourage (force) customers to pay more promptly, and thus reduce accounts receivable (AR) balances, generating what could prove to be a substantial cash flow. Even a three-day reduction in AR for a $10 million organization will generate a cash flow of $82,000.
Deltek FMS
Deltek (http://www.deltek.com/) has focused on one primary area with many subgroups: project-oriented business solutions for contractors and consultants. Originally known for its government contracting expertise, Deltek has expanded its product line to include several different enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions to serve project-based businesses in different niches, and has created a leading position in additional sub-markets. Deltek FMS is aimed primarily at the architectural and engineering community. Most of its more than 2,500 customers have 50 or fewer employees, while some firms have over 800 employees.
Competitive Advantages
The distinguishing feature of Deltek FMS is that it is a real-time system: data is instantly available in all reports and graphs once it has been entered into the database. Written in FoxPro with a FoxBASE database, Deltek FMS uses drop-down boxes to select menu options once a module has been selected from the "tool bar." Smaller firms will find it to be a very clean product with an easy-to-understand interface. A "favorites" menu can be created, and can include any menu option as well as user-defined reports. Deltek FMS uses Crystal as its reporting engine. Deltek FMS is written in FoxPro, a long-established programming language that makes it very easy for users (or their integration partners) to make modifications (small or large). Deltek FMS also supports an unlimited number of user-defined fields, which can be assigned to each master record (card). For example, a customer can be associated with ten or more classification codes that in some instances play the same role as GL segments.
Deltek FMS supports CRM, including contacts, leads, proposals, marketing campaigns, and resumes. It also allows users to define how each section of a project will be billed. For example, one part of a project can be fixed-fee, while another part (additional work perhaps) can be billed as time and expense. Users can also define billing rate tables that can be updated on specific dates. For example, the hourly rate for a senior consultant might be set to increase from $225 to $235 on March 1. This change may be specified in February and take effect automatically on March 1.
Deltek FMS creates contract proposals that conform to standard US government proposal formats (254, 255, and SF330). It maintains an unlimited number of cost pools and indirect expense rates, distributes GL account costs across one or more target accounts, computes and invoices for cost, automatically prepares incurred cost submissions (using fifteen different schedules), and submits charges on DD250, 1034, and 1035 forms.
Finally, Deltek FMS supports both desktop and Internet time entry with user-defined comments. Users can input their time, but can also create comments that optionally carry forward to the billing process. For those firms that do not want to process payroll, Deltek FMS links with payroll systems such as ADP, Paychex, and EasyPay.
Competitive Disadvantages
Deltek FMS is geared primarily for smaller US-based organizations. It offers no multicurrency capabilities, and for larger organizations its menu structure may not be quite as attractive as products such as Deltek Vision or BST Enterprise. Deltek FMS does not support a dashboard or portal and has no plans to do so. Obviously, this is not necessarily a competitive disadvantage unless the user firm desires such functionality. Deltek FMS does support project management and control functions, but not to the extent of the other three products we'll review in this article. Deltek FMS does support a fairly robust CRM application, but this application is not integrated with the rest of the system. This can prove to be a significant disadvantage. Project proposals can be created in Award, Deltek FMS's CRM application, but project data must be exported from the business management system, imported into Award (where the proposal can be finalized), and then exported back to the business management system. Deltek FMS supports what could be called lower-level collections management, including statement printing and dunning letters.
There is some indication that Deltek FMS will not be promoted quite as vigorously as it was when it was an independent firm. Deltek Vision apparently has been selected as the go-to product in most instances. Whether this means that Deltek FMS will be phased out over a period of time is not yet clear.
Deltek Vision
Deltek Vision (http://www.deltek.com/), released in 2002 as a fully Web-enabled (.Net) product, serves the needs of project-based PSOs, including consulting firms, IT service system integrators, and architectural and engineering firms. This solution offers users all the features they might require to manage the entire project lifecycle, from client acquisition and retention, to proposal generation, project planning and management, billing, and back-end financial management. Deltek and Deltek Vision have been successful because the company and product are focused on very specific market segments, offering users the technology, terminology, and functionality required only by these specific segments. While 50 percent of Deltek Vision customers are firms with 50 or fewer employees, Deltek's target market is small and medium businesses (SMB) with revenues of $2 million to $200 million (USD).
Competitive Advantages
Deltek has always been known for its expertise in the government contractor market, and in some respects "owns" this market space. Firms in this niche will know about Deltek Vision, and will automatically place it on their short list. This is of course a significant competitive advantage.
Unlike the many other products that adhere to a modular design, Deltek has created a system where specific applications are seamlessly integrated. For example, CRM functions (opportunities, proposals, contacts, projects, and so forth) can be accessed directly from a customer card, so that everything relating to that customer is available to the user without having to open the CRM module or another application. The Vision dashboard is a completely customizable web page that in some respects looks and acts like a standard windows form. The left side of the screen displays standard and user-defined menu options. Key financial indicators (data and graphs) are displayed in the center section. Alerts and workflow tasks are displayed in the right-hand column. As additional dashboard components are added, the web page expands automatically, supporting both horizontal and vertical scrolling.
Vision CRM's strength lies in the fact that it has been created specifically for project-driven businesses, in terms of both functionality and language. It includes marketing and business development, client and prospect contact management, opportunity tracking, activity scheduling, and proposal development and tracking. Like many other CRM systems, Vision allows users to create additional tables and fields to suit their requirements. The project proposal suite of functions allows users to create effective graphical proposals with content that addresses the prospect's specific requirements. Users create and retrieve template proposals for private sector prospects, cost proposals, and request for proposals (RFP) responses. In addition, the applications support US government forms, including the SF330 form. One of the unique aspects of the proposal suite is Vision's ability to maintain resumes of key employees that will be included in a proposal or some other communication to a prospect. Once all this information has been created for a specific proposal, it can be exported to Microsoft Word for fine-tuning and final presentation.
Deltek Vision's project planning functions are quite strong. Users start with a project plan, and then tap into resource management to populate the project with appropriate skill sets. The resource management module also includes a number of functions: skills definitions; skill searches to identify resources that can be assigned to a project; resource utilization reporting; and over- and under-utilization alerts. The project plan can be created in the opportunity stage, and modified until the actual project has been awarded. All costs associated with both the active project and the opportunity can be assigned to the project, thus letting managers assess the entire project (opportunity to completion), not just the aspect associated with revenue generation.
Using the Microsoft SharePoint platform, Deltek Vision provides a robust document management system that can be accessed by employees, partners, and clients. Documents can be sorted by project, employee, contact, opportunity, or other key Vision record. A document can be associated with a single record or multiple records (and can thus be used for multiple projects), and documents can be organized into libraries and folders. The system supports check-in/check-out capabilities to prevent two people (say) from editing the same document simultaneously. A complete audit trail, including version numbering, is supported (as are cross-document and document-type searches including Microsoft Word, Excel, and Adobe PDF).
Deltek Vision plays very well in a sophisticated government contractor or international market. But it probably is not quite as appropriate for smaller US-based firms. Although smaller firms may be technologically savvy, the learning curve for a product such as Deltek Vision may be a bit of a challenge. In addition, these firms may not require all of the functionality typically utilized/required by a larger firm.
Deltek Vision will be introducing an inventory application later this year, and will in all likelihood be able to compete fairly well with Microsoft Dynamics SL after its next release in 2007. Currently, it does not compete well. It does not support service management functions and will not be able to compete against a product such as Microsoft Dynamics SL in a mixed-mode project or service opportunity. Deltek Vision also does not support collections management, and has no plans to do so immediately. It does support alerts and an aging report but this does not compare favorably with the offerings of Microsoft Dynamics SL.
Deltek Vision is sold directly as well as through business partners. This will enable it to compete against the full reseller channel supported by Microsoft Dynamics SL, but as with Deltek FMS, some opportunities may be lost simply because the Microsoft Dynamics SL resellers are located in every city in the US.

Mainers To Vote On Bond Question 2 For Upgrades To UMaine Colleges
Maine University officials are urging voters to support a 15-and-a-half million dollar bond on the November ballot to upgrade the schools' classrooms and labs. Two schools in Aroostook County would be affected. The Unviersity of Maine at Fort Kent, and the University of Maine at Presque Isle. Her'es how the bond would impact the UMPI Campus.
Question number 2 on the November 5th statewide ballot is for a bond targeted at education facilities in many departments. Each of the seven campuses in the University of Maine System would benefit from the bond. Of the 15.5 million dollars,The University of Maine at Presque Isle would get 1.2 million.
UMPI President Linda Schott says,
"we will use it primarily to upgrade our equipment and our facilities for our health science education, for biology, chemistry, environmental studies, geology…"
If the bond is approved, UMaine officials say it will not only improve education opportunities but create immediate construction jobs on campuses that plan to build new facilities or expansions. If the bond doesn't get enough votes……
Schott says, "eventually we would have to raise our fees for those courses to try to provide the equipment and the new technology that we need."
The Umaine system has been trying to keep tuition low and they have been flat for the last several years.
Schott, "you have to walk a fine line between keeping the cost of education down but also being able to provide the education that the students need when they graduate."
Mainers will be voting on the bond November 5th, President Schott says she hope Mainers will vote in favor of enhancing education.
Other UMaine colleges would get upgrades as well. The University of Maine at Augusta would get $1.2 million to upgrade science and nursing labs while the University of Southern Maine would get $4 million for lab renovation just to name a few.

Technical Details
Teaching Tips
- Pair ELL students with non-ELL students at the computers if possible. Teachers should download the PSICAT programs to computers ahead of time.
- Spend some extra time guiding students through the PSICAT program.
- Reinforce that the oldest sediments are at the bottom of the core and the youngest sediments are at the top of the core; this is particularly important when students build their own core to illustrate a warm climate and open water in the Ross Sea followed by a period of cooling, the advance of an ice sheet, and finally a period of warming with a retreat of the ice sheet.
- Refer through the activity back to the guiding questions at the end of the case study Climate is indicated by the type of sediment found in the cores.
- To shorten this activity, students can do parts of the step-by-steps such as viewing the cards with images of the core
- If time for the complete activity is not available, having students interact with the interactive animation in Step 4, showing an ice shelf advancing and retreating, is recommended http://andrill.org/system/files/web/images/edu/iceshelfadvanceretreat.swf
- A related core investigation activity which is not computer-based and is less involved is http://www.andrill.org/flexhibit/flexhibit/materials/activities/Activity5A-ChartingTemperatureChanges.pdf
About the Science
- A detailed and challenging series of activities that engage students in the science of analyzing ice cores to study paleoclimate using the types of tools used by scientists to analyze data.
- Comments from expert scientist: Very good material. Puts actual research tools to use. I like the interpretive steps in the activities.
About the Pedagogy
- The lesson is scaffolded so that students learn about ocean sediment cores, which they then apply to actual data sets. The multiple extensions and links to other explorations and visuals meets the needs of an academically diverse classes.
- Very complete treatment of this subject with background, case study, step-by-step instructions, information about the data and tools, and extensions to take the exercise further.
- Best practice use of applied technology and models to study past climates.
- The "Going Further" section provides a number of suggestions for inquiry-based learning. The step-by-step is guided inquiry.
- This resource engages students in using scientific data.
See other data-rich activities
Technical Details/Ease of Use
- The PSICAT download program may be a technical concern for teachers. Pre-loading this software and testing the tool before class is highly recommended, and this may be an issue for some schools.
- Pop up windows in the PSICAT software aid help learners understand and follow the directions to use technology in the activity.
- Interactive animation is a Shockwave file that might need a plug-in for some computers
- There is a tutorial movie for the PSICAT application in the Going Further section.

The Johnson City Cardinals saw Kingsport's Pedro Perez launch a pair of three-run home runs in Thursday's 20-4 setback that also included a late offensive outburst by the visiting Mets.
Perez's first home run of the day came in the second inning with a pair of outs and facing a 0-2 count. Later on, the third baseman lined a second home run down the left-field line in the visitor's half of the sixth. He also added a single in the fourth frame as part of his 3-for-5 day. Perez drew a walk in the seventh inning.
Kingsport added an eight-run seventh for insurance scores as a total of 13 Mets went to the plate during the inning. Five more runs came across in Kingsport's half of the ninth to pad the advantage.
The result sent the Cardinals to 7-6 on the season. Johnson City welcomes the Mets, now 4-9, back for today's 7 p.m. contest.
"This is just how it happens in baseball sometimes," Johnson City manager Joe Kruzel said after the game. "Just unfortunate, we had numerous chances early in the game and couldn't execute. We put ourselves in holes defensively, get to two outs in the inning and couldn't finish it. Tomorrow is a new day."
Johnson City cut into the early deficit thanks to a Brett Wiley RBI single in the third inning. That single was to left field and Justin Ringo scored after his lead-off walk. The home half of the seventh saw Kyle Grieshaber add a run-scoring single. Rowan Wick had a one-out double and scored on the RBI hit. Wick was 2-for-4 in the contest and both hits were doubles.
Yoenny Gonzalez had a two-run single in the bottom of the eighth which pushed in two Cardinals to score. Gonzalez was 2-for-3 coming off the bench.
The Cardinals threatened in the home half of the first, but left the bases loaded. That was a part of Johnson City leaving a total of 14 runners on base and going 4-for-18 with runners in scoring position.
Joe Tuschak finished the game 4-for-5 and scored four runs for the Mets. Jeff McNeil and Bradley Marquez also contributed three hits apiece as a part of Kingsport's 19-hit effort.
Luis Rengel was awarded the victory on the mound for Kingsport. He tossed three scoreless innings with three hits allowed, a walk and a strikeout.
Alexander Reyes started for the Cardinals and went four innings, with three runs allowed on five hits. He mixed in seven strikeouts to give him 19 so far in 121?3 innings of work.

So You Want To Start A Flea Market Business...
"At a flea market I always head for the junk jewelry table first. – Ethel Merman
When we think of today's economy it's hard not to wince. Stocks go up and then plummet to depressing lows only to bounce back. Talk about inconsistent! The recent events that have happened in the Middle East are liberating, yes, but are having quite the effect on the economy and are driving gas prices out of the roof. Money can get pretty tight when a gallon of gasoline costs you four bucks. Due to higher costs and lack of work people have begun trying to make a little bit of extra money on the side setting up yard sales and making products out of their own homes. This does seem to help our pocket books but many find the poster board advertising "Yard Sale This Way------> doesn't always bring many customers. For many the next step to better advertisement and higher profits can be to begin their own business. But what if you don't have the money to spring into a new store front endeavor? If you're low on capital and are looking to make a few extra bucks on the side then becoming a flea market vendor could be your best bet. But what does it take to start your own food vending stall? Don't worry; I'm here to lay it all out for you!
Before springing into the business, guns a blazing, stop and think first about your location. For the best flow of customers choose a flea market that has been established and well known for quite a while. Sure, their rent may be a little higher than the little dinky flea market on the other side of town but you will be making up for that with more buying customers. Once you've picked a successful flea market think next about your stall location. Depending on where you want your stall placed and if you have city/county licensing will determine how high or low your rent will be. For example if I wanted to have a very small outside stall for let's say a boiled peanut business. At my local flea market they would charge me $38 for two days in a 10 x 10 foot space with two tables...if I have city and county licenses. Without those licenses I will be paying $42 for the same space. Likewise if I wanted a booth for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday on the inside of the flea market my costs would be much higher, ranging from $100 with a license to $122 without the licenses. You may choose to go without the city/county licensing but remember that you may still need a Sales tax number or Sales tax certificate plus proper licensing for selling food items.
Another thing to think about with flea market vending is "WHAT ARE YOU SELLING? and will this product be appropriate for the flea market environment? For example selling pasta dishes inside of a flea market (especially one without a designated "food court area) would be an odd choice. People in flea markets want to be able to walk about the flea market while enjoying their food. Pasta is messy and can be very difficult to eat on the go. Popular foods found in flea markets tend to be things like funnel cakes, homemade fudge, popcorn, and I've even seen fried chicken. Another note, think about choosing products that are not only mobility friendly but very fragrant. A delicious smell can draw people from the other side of the flea market and make your stall a frequently visited place. Most importantly make sure to check and see if someone is already selling the product(s) you are considering for your business. Competition with an already established vendor could turn out to be a bad decision.
The way you present your stall can mean a world of difference in the competitive world of the flea market vendor. One of my friends happens to have her own indoor flea market business and uses things like signage, high turnover products, and even a decorated mannequin in the front of her booth to catch the eye of shoppers. The more eye pleasing your store the more of a crowd your store will bring which results in more curious people wanting to see what "all the fuss is about.
One big point to always remember is your pricing. There is opportunity in flea markets to have decent mark ups and bring in quite a bit of profit but you also have to keep the fact that many penny pinchers dwell in flea markets and may not buy your product if they can get it somewhere else cheaper. To create better pricing without cutting your profit margin down to nothing buy the ingredients for your product in bulk and/or wholesale. This can help you bring prices down for your customers. Also remember that if you have anything on shelves to watch for those with sticky hands. My friend has told me many times about the theft that happens way too often in flea markets and how you have to keep a watchful eye. She even puts signs up to warn those crafty types that she's serious.

Summit program focused on violence against law enforcement officers, line of duty suicide, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, and the growing Wisconsin heroin problem
MADISON - The Attorney General's Summit on Public Safety began Tuesday evening and concluded this afternoon. This year's summit had the highest number of attendees in recent years with over 300 in attendance.
"Im grateful for all the conference attendees, and the work of the Division of Law Enforcement Services under the leadership of Gary Hamblin", said Attorney General Van Hollen.
Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen's summit was designed as an interactive meeting where law enforcement officers in the field were provided an opportunity to discuss their concerns, thoughts, and ideas with Attorney General Van Hollen and other Department of Justice officials and staff. Topics included: 2009 Ambush in Washington State, Line of Duty Suicide, Violence Against Cops: It's Happening in Wisconsin, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: A Law Enforcement Reality, and Waiting for Justice: The Robert Pfeil, Jr. Homicide Cold Case. The summit also included program participants addressing Wisconsin's Heroin Epidemic.
"I and all other Department of Justice staff take our role as leaders in law enforcement very seriously. The success of this year's summit is evidence of the important partnership we share with local law enforcement in our commitment to public safety", said Attorney General Van Hollen.
Law enforcement leaders from across Wisconsin were in attendance for the summit.
