Enlarged Hand Guard and Carrying Handle Protect You
An enlarged steel plate covers the entire width of the top of the trap, protecting your hand from contact with the animal. And the updated, rigid plastic carrying handle makes the handling experience even more comfortable for you.
Safe, Rolled Metal Edges Protect the Animal
Just like the Havahart® traps you've relied on for years, this trap is constructed of one-piece wire mesh, galvanized for resistance to rust and corrosion. And edges are polished smooth to protect the animal from injuring itself during transport.
No-Escape Door Locks Give You Peace of Mind
Two tightly spring-loaded doors feature updated door locks and added reinforcements, making your trap more escape-proof than ever.
A Two-Door Trap is Effective and Versatile
A two-door animal trap allows you to create a clear path from one end of the trap to the other by setting it with both ends open. Place this two-door trap against a wall or along an animal's path in order to capture it as it travels from either direction. In order to access the bait and get to the other end, the animal must step on the trigger plate, resulting in a catch.

This trap is great for cats and opossums, but is not strong enough for armadillos. The armadillo can bent the side of the trap at the door, bent the locking drop bar, and warp door; then escape. I was much more impressed with the armadillo's strength than the trap's quality to remain locked.

We use them to trap ferals for our Spay Days and the traps are continuously used by the public-at-large to capture and bring cats to our clinic. We often have 65 cats on each Spay Day. We know every trap style has a downside. Our concern with the easy-set trap is if the brace does not fall properly to pressure the door, the cat can easily escape. In trying to counter this chance, we instruct people to place rods across the trap width next to the doors once the food is set and the cat is inside. We have also learned if any object bumps the brace, including a cat reaching through the fabric, the door can easily open, allowing escape. The plastic black end caps holding the two doors in place slide off, allowing the doors to dislodge. We need to tap on wire caps to replace the black ends. Once off, the black end caps cannot be returned to the rod ends. The other problem we are now encountering now are the wire springs that enable the doors to close. If those become bent or worn, the door will not drop properly. We need to ask Havahart to send us new springs to repair. The remaining problem we have encountered is sometimes the traps are bent during shipment, sometimes affecting their work-ability. We have been buying Havahart traps for many years. We have 75 of them on hand. To us, the best traps were made several years ago because heavier metal was used for the fabric and the end clips were uncomplicated because of his. The present traditional traps have the end clip latching-over which, to us, presents an additional catch-problem. The latching-over is required because the metal quality is lighter, in our opinion.Date published: 2015-08-17

Sparkles and the mighty, magnificent Jensicorn ride off into the bloody sunset ....
She doesn't screw around when it comes to that unicorn trinket!
GLORIOUS!!!! Must. Have. This. Trinket. NOW!!!
I like this idea I'm always looking for something new in the game. I hope the devs get it wright for this one allow the pet to stay out for 1 minute then have to wait 15 seconds to use it again all trinkets should be this way also.
I am violently vehemently opposed to this .... If Sparkle get the Unicorn Trinket then Doctor Evil .. errr I mean Lex Luthor will demand the inclusion of Sharks with friggin' laser beams attached to their backs. And the universe as we know it will come to an end.
To be honest I am not opposed to this idea in fact I was considering a suggestion for a new travel power. We have Flight, Su0per Speed and Acrobatics ... and now " MY LITTLE PONY ! " The Unicorn covers that nicely and has that really cool horn to stab villains with NICCCCCCCE lol
The sharks with laser beams won't arrive until the Atlantis alert is out.
Sharks with laser beams are SOOO my cuppa tea!
So that's what a Spytle is.
Just wow to the entire thread...
It'll happen, and it will be your dream come true, or your worst nightmare a reality.
Brony Style.
So beautiful, I nearly cried.
But the slogan needs to be 'goring people is magic.'
I want the Kryptonian Unicorn!!!!
lol now I know how trinkets are activated
You're a very odd one aren't you?
You don't make it in The Revengencers by being normal
I'm more so just being sarcastic. Either way I actually find it funny.
Um...if you get a unicorn trinket, I so want a Mogwai.
Heroes can get Gizmo and villains could get Stripe.

Following the likes of Apple (NASDAQ:
), Tempur-Pedic International (NYSE:
) announced Tuesday that it opened its first retail store. Shares
of the mattress producer rose markedly after the announcement.
The new store is intended to engage consumers, according to
"We're excited to bring our products to life in a retail
environment designed to provide product education, build consumer
awareness and enhance brand loyalty," said Patrice Varni, Vice
President of direct-to-consumer sales and marketing in a
The 3,500 square-foot Massachusetts store opening will be the
first of many over the next year, announced Tempur-Pedic. The
company said it will open a second store later this year in
Tempur-Pedic's venture into retail may be its latest effort to
fight falling revenues and margins from the most recently reported
quarter. Last week, the company unveiled TEMPUR-Weightless and
TEMPUR-Breeze mattresses to provide improved responsiveness and
climate control, respectively.
"The specialty mattress market in the U.S. has experienced
ongoing and dramatic change in recent months, characterized by a
crowded, complicated and competitive retail environment," wrote
Oppenheimer in an August 1 research note.
Tuesday's news comes in the wake of a more than 35 percent
year-to-date decline in Tempur-Pedic shares. Much of this decline
occurred in early June, when the company released full-year
earnings per share and revenue projections below Wall Street
analysts' expectations.
Late July, however, the company reported second-quarter earnings
that exceeded analysts' lowered expectations by a margin of more
than 15 percent.
Competitor Sealy Corporation (NYSE:
) traded around 5.8 percent higher year-to-date. The company beat
or met analyst earnings per share estimates for the first two
quarters of 2012, following a notable earnings miss in
fourth-quarter 2011.
Tempur-Pedic was trading approximately 5.2 percent higher for
the day while Sealy Corporation traded higher by around 0.6

Customer Comments
I was very impressed and pleased by your service. I was shopping around for the perfume I ordered for my wife's birthday gift. I could not find it at many stores that I went; so I decided to buy it online. I must say that many other sites had it for double of what you had it for and when I saw your price I was sceptical because it was so much cheaper. I ended up ordering it anyway and seeing the Yahoo rating of your site made me feel a lot more easier in placing my order. I must tell you I was very pleased, I am a very picky consumer and when I shop I like to know what I am getting into. My order was here quicker than expected and from the day I placed my order I recieved an e-mail confirming it. Once again I am a very satisfied customer and I know where I am going to buy my Mother's birthday gift.

Started spotting(bright red/pink) Friday at 7pm. Wiped a few times and Ur was gone. Went to a store to look at baby items then went home. Went to bathroom and panties were saturated(like I came on my cycle) and was cramping. I freaked out so mom took me to the hospital. When I used the bathroom again, I was just spotting again)They gave me pain meds and nausea meds, did an in/out Cath, and blood work Did u/s and baby was fine(actually looked at me and was moving around). They sent me home with threaten to miscarriage info. I called my doc after hour number to see if I can move my appt up(original date is 8/31). They will call when the office opens on Monday. Yesterday I went out to eat with mom(was out maybe about 2 hours) and started bleeding again. Not heavy but noticeable in a pantiliner. Left mom immediately and came home to rest. Still everytime I use the restroom and wipe, I wipe bright red/pink blood.
Side notes: I'm 15 wks 5 days pregnant. FTM. Never had spotting before. Haven't drank or smoked anything since I found out I was pregnant at 5 wks. Been having intercourse regularly throughout pregnancy(which ER doctor told me to stop until I talk to my OB/GYN. No heavy lifting or strenuous activities. Am not as stressed as I normally would be with work. Just really concerned.
Any advice or comments will help. Thanks in advance ladies.

Review By: Beauvais
from Wisconsin
Don't waste your money
In less than 300 miles, all I had left to these were the bolt studs! The complete rods and carbides were gone. I can't believe how badly they wore.hem replaced them with Woody's Doolys. Let's see how these last.
Review By: Gans
from New York
Price is right $$$$
These fit perfectly on my 2002 Mtn Max 600, can't wait for snow. I know they will perform on the trail.
Review By: ColoradoSledder
from Lakewood, CO
Save yourself the hassle and buy Woody's. A piece of carbide fell out of the bar when I opened the package. I then proceded to install the other bars. Carbide pieces where falling everywhere. If you can't install them without them failing, what is going to happen on the trail. I tried to save some money and buy these instead of the Woody's that I usually use. What a mistake.
Review By: georgecj77
from Buffalo, NY
Not impressed at all.
There cheap wear rods. I bought them on for the last run of the winter. They were cheap and it shows. the trails were pretty beat up. And I'm not impressed with the chunks of carbide that Roetin uses. These carbides have 6 (1 inch) chunks in a row. And they weren't even all inline. The carbide wear pad on each end are recessed into the bar. Just not real impressed. I'll spend the extra money for Woody's next time. I thought that maybe they would have improved the quality since I used to by them when I was kid and couldn't afford anything better. Apparently I was wrong. I won't waste my money again on this brand.
Review By: RockStar920
from Hugo, Mn
Work fine
The wear rods installed easily. Be careful not to over tighten. I did and broke one of the bolts off the wear rod.
Review By: Fuji
from St. Cloud, MN
So far so good! I've got about 100 miles on them and they haven't shown any noticeable wear but they certainly can gouge a wood trailer! :)

These 10 pigs were divided into control group (n=5) and hypertensive perfusion group (n=5) through random number table method. Norepinephrine was administered to maintain the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 130% of the baseline in the hypertensive perfusion group. Serum diamine oxidase (DAO) and gastrointestinal ATPase level were determined, and gastrointestinal mucosa damages were examined with light microscope, and mitochondria injury was observed by electric microscope 24 hours after recovery of spontaneous circulation (ROSC). The serum DAO level showed a significant increase at 2 hours and 4 hours after ROSC in hypertensive perfusion group and control group compared with baseline (hypertensive perfusion group: 15.66±2.24 U, 15.76±0.95 U vs. 8.38±0.70 U, control group: 14.87±1.34 U, 13.85±0.52 U vs. 9.92±0.78 U, all P<0.05), but when the individual value was compared between two groups, no significant difference was found. The Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase and Ca(2+)-ATPase of gastric tissue showed significant increase in the hypertensive perfusion group compared with the control group at 24 hours after ROSC (Na(+)-K(+)-ATPase: 6.07±1.49 μmol×mg(-1)×h(-1) vs. 2.89±1.48 μmol×mg(-1)×h(-1), Ca(2+)-ATPase: 7.67±1.86 μmol×mg(-1)×h(-1) vs. 3.07±1.50 μmol×mg(-1)×h(-1), both P<0.05). There was no significant difference in ATPase activity of intestinal tissue between the two groups. Gastrointestinal mucosa damages and mitochondrial injury in the hypertensive perfusion group were less obviously than in the control group. Gastrointestinal function injury, abnormal energy metabolism, increased serum DAO levels, destruction of intestinal microvilli were found after CPR. Hypertensive perfusion could improve cell energy metabolism, reduce the mucosal injury, and protect the digestive tract from injury due to CPR.
Article: Hypothermia ameliorates gastrointestinal ischemic injury sustained in a porcine cardiac arrest model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: During cardiac arrest, the gastrointestinal tract is sensitive to ischemia. Protection of the gastrointestinal tract is a critical factor in determining prognosis following cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). This study seeks to determine the extent of gastrointestinal tract injury and the potential protective effect of inducing hypothermia following a porcine cardiac arrest model and CPR. Ventricular fibrillation was induced by programmed electrical stimulation in 16 male domestic pigs (n = 8 per group). Four minutes after ventricular fibrillation, CPR was performed. Pigs that successfully restored spontaneous circulation then received intravenous infusions of saline at either 4°C or room temperature to produce hypothermic and control conditions respectively. Serum diamine oxidase and gastrointestinal adenosine triphosphate enzyme activity were determined and histopathology of the gastrointestinal tract was performed by light microscopy and electron microscopy. Significant injury of the gastrointestinal tract after CPR was found. Na(+)-K(+) and Ca(2+) adenosine triphosphate enzyme activity in the gastric tissue were significantly high in animals receiving hypothermia treatment compared to controls. Hypothermia also significantly reduced serum diamine oxidase after CPR compared to the control group. Moreover, severe injury sustained by the gastrointestinal tissue was significantly ameliorated under hypothermic conditions compared to controls. Gastrointestinal injury and abnormal energy metabolism are strikingly evident following CPR. Hypothermia, which is induced by an infusion of 4°C saline, can rapidly reduce internal body temperature, improve energy metabolism, and ameliorate injury to the gastrointestinal mucosa after CPR.
Article: Effect of hypertransfusion on the gastrointestinal tract after cardiac arrest in a porcine model[Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: Background: This study aimed to determine the potential protective effect of inducing hypertransfusion to the gastrointestinal tract following a porcine model of cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) by evaluating the influence of gastrointestinal ultrastructure, ATPase and serum diamine oxidase. Methods: Ventricular fibrillation was induced by programmed electrical stimulation in 16 male domestic pigs (n=8/group). Four minutes after ventricular fibrillation, CPR was performed. The pigs that successfully restored spontaneous circulation received intravenous infusion of either norepinephrine to maintain the mean arterial pressure at 130% of the baseline before ventricular fibrillation or normal saline. Serum diamine oxidase and gastrointestinal ATPase activity were determined, and histopathological examination of the gastrointestinal tract was performed by light and electron microscopy. Results: CPR caused significant injury to the gastrointestinal tract, elevating serum diamine oxidase and causing destruction of intestinal microvillus in control animals. Na(+)-K(+) ATPase and Ca(2+) ATPase activity in gastric tissue were significantly elevated in animals receiving hypertransfusion treatment compared with the control animals. Hypertransfusion also significantly reduced serum diamine oxidase to below control levels after CPR. Moreover, severe injury sustained by the gastrointestinal tissue was markedly ameliorated under hypertransfusion conditions compared with the control animals. Conclusions: Gastrointestinal injury and abnormal energy metabolism were strikingly evident following CPR. Hypertransfusion inducing hypertension can improve energy metabolism and ameliorate gastrointestinal mucosal injury, indicating that hypothermia significantly ameliorates gastrointestinal injury sustained following cardiac arrest.
- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract] ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to study the effects of norepinephrine (NE)-induced hypertension (HT) on renal biochemistry, enzymology, and morphology after restoration of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) by cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) in swine. After 4 minutes of ventricular fibrillation, standard CPR was carried out. The survivors were then divided into 2 groups. The HT group (n = 5) received 0.4 to 1.0 μg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹ of NE continuously to maintain the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 130% of the baseline (ie, MAP before ventricular fibrillation). The normal pressure (NP) group (n = 5) received 0.2 to 0.5 μg kg⁻¹ min⁻¹ NE continuously to maintain MAP at the baseline level. Hemodynamic status and oxygen metabolism were monitored, and blood urea nitrogen and creatinine were measured in blood samples obtained at baseline and at 10 minutes, 2 and 4 hours after ROSC. At 24 hours after ROSC, the animals were killed and the kidney was removed to determine Na⁺-K⁺-ATPase and Ca²⁺-ATPase activities and histologic changes under a light and electron microscopy. mean arterial pressure, cardiac output, and coronary perfusion pressure were significantly higher (P < .01), whereas the oxygen extraction ratio was lower in the HT group than in the NP group (P < .05). Blood urea nitrogen and creatinine increased in the NP group but did not change in the HT group. Renal ATP enzyme activity was significantly higher in the HT group than the NP group (Na⁺-K⁺-ATP enzyme: 4.024 ± 0.740 U versus 3.190 ± 0.789 U, Ca²⁺-ATP enzyme: 3.615 ± 0.668 versus 2.630 ± 0.816; both P < .05). The HT group showed less cellular edema, necrosis, and fewer damaged mitochondria compared with the NP group. These data suggest that inducing HT by NE helps to maintain stable hemodynamic status and oxygen metabolism and may protect the kidney in terms of biochemistry, enzymology, and histology after CPR.

School News
Central graduation likely on the move
1 2 Next page >
For years, each of Valley Stream's three high schools have hosted graduation ceremonies on the same day and at the same time, with hundreds of students completing the final chapter in their grade school careers. But for the Central High School class of 2013, graduation will most likely have a change date, time and scenery.
The Valley Stream Central High School District Board of Education voted unanimously in favor of pursuing to move Central's graduation to an off-site facility at it's meeting on Nov. 13. Central Principal Dr. Joseph Pompilio discussed the possibility of moving the ceremony with students and parents earlier this year, and he said the response was overwhelmingly in favor of it. Similar studies were conducted at North and South high schools, but the response was in favor of keeping the ceremonies at those respective schools.
"It's somewhat different at North and South where as a 12-year-old you enter a building and you become very much attached to it," said Superintendent Dr. Bill Heidenreich. "Not to say that Central and Memorial students aren't attached to their respective school, but it's different because they walk across the street and they're not in the school that they've been in for the past three years."
Rain has forced graduation ceremonies to be held indoors for the last two years, making conditions stressful and confining, Pompilio said. If there is inclement weather, graduation for Central is held in nearby Memorial's gymnasium. "You wake up, unlike North and South, and you don't know where your graduation is," he said.
Both North and South have the capacity to hold its graduation ceremonies indoors, while Central does not. Last year, approximately 220 students graduated from North and South, and 350 Central students received diplomas — at Memorial.
Tom Troisi, assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction, conducted a study earlier in the school year to determine the potential cost of moving graduation to an off-site facility like the Hofstra University Arena or the Tilles Center at C.W. Post. It was concluded that having the graduation off-site or on-site is cost neutral.

Messages on a Center Grove teen's cellphone led authorities to three men police said delivered or sold the drugs that he took the night of his death.
Two men have been arrested, and police are looking for one other. Police said all three supplied Samuel Xavier Motsay, 16, with a new hallucinogenic drug. The Center Grove High School student was found dead Sunday morning, and toxicology reports are pending.
The sheriff is issuing a warning to parents and teens that this new drug is in the community and extremely dangerous.
"We know we've got a problem," Sheriff Doug Cox said. "This stuff is in the community. You have kids taking this stuff, not knowing what they're putting in their bodies. And unfortunately, for this young man, it cost him his life, if in fact that's what he did. So we need to get the word out that this stuff will kill you."
The investigation this week honed in on a southside man with a criminal record for dealing drugs and two other men who took the drug, known as 25I NBOMe or N bomb, to the student, according to a news release from the Johnson County Sheriff's Office.
Police suspect the drug caused the teen's death.
Police arrested Zachary Catron, 24, Indianapolis, on nine charges, including felony counts for dealing drugs. Kyle Hazzard, 24, Greenwood, turned himself into the Johnson County jail Thursday night, and a warrant has been issued for Jordan Adamowicz, 19, Indianapolis, on charges of dealing a synthetic drug.
Adamowicz had not been arrested by Thursday afternoon, according to a sheriff's office news release.
It is unclear how Motsay knew the three men.
An autopsy did not show a cause of death, but police found an unidentified substance on blotter type
paper near his body. Blotter paper can be used to absorb a drug in the mouth.
Investigators looked through Motsay's phone to find out whom he had been communicating with before his death and found messages from Saturday night.
Those messages were between Motsay and two other men, whom police said he was arranging to buy drugs from. Investigators said that Hazzard and Adamowicz brought the drugs to the home in the Eagle Trace subdivision where Motsay was, according to the news release. Motsay did not live at the home but was there with two other boys. One of the boys called 911 when he found Motsay unconscious.
Police sent the substance found near Motsay's body for expedited testing at the Indiana State Police lab this week and found that it was the illegal drug 25I NBOMe.
The investigation also led police to a home in the 3100 block of Tacoma Avenue on the southside, where police said Catron lives.
Police were told they would find drugs similar to what was found near Motsay, the release said.
In the home, police found blotter paper similar to what was found next to Motsay's body, other drugs and guns. Catron was arrested and taken to the Marion County Jail, where he was being held on $200,000 bond. His nine charges include possession and dealing of a controlled substance, cocaine and marijuana, visiting a common nuisance and possession of a firearm by a serious violent felon.
Catron already was facing criminal charges in Johnson County. In an unrelated case, he had been charged with three counts of dealing a narcotic drug, after police said he sold heroin and a form of Ecstasy in undercover drug deals, according to court records.
He is also on home monitoring and wears an ankle device due to a felony conviction in Marion County, according to the news release.
Investigators are waiting for toxicology reports conducted on Motsay, but they suspect 25I NBOMe is what killed him. Parents and teens need to be aware that this new drug could be fatal, Cox said.
The drug found near Motsay is similar to LSD, but very little is known about it, Cox said.
"It's something new out," Cox said. "I can't begin to explain it to you."

Update Notes
Updated on: 06/23/2015
Since we last visited AnalFuckThrills...
If you agree that it's thrilling to fuck a lady's asshole, or to at least watch it happen, then Anal Fuck Thrills is sure to excite you. This site is part of a huge network, however, so get ready for a ton of porn in several different categories.
AnalFuckThrills brings you a good-sized collection of nonexclusive anal porn. To start enjoying it, you need only enter the movie section where you'll find 361 videos. They can all be downloaded as clips and some can also be saved as full-length files. Quality varies between the newer and older ones, but when you check out the Windows Media format in particular you'll get high-def playback for many of the newer additions.
When you get done with the movies, you can go explore the photo galleries. There are about 195 sets of pictures at the moment and they each contain crisp and clear images. Not all of the pics are high-res, but many are. Enjoying them is made easy thanks to the inclusion of a slideshow and the option of downloading them in Zip files.
Both the videos and photos bring you hardcore sex scenes in which a hot babe inevitably finds herself with a hard cock in her asshole. Most of the action features a couple going at it, but it's not unusual to see three or more men screwing a chick's brains out. After watching something you can post a comment and give the scene a rating.
This site is part of a huge network that includes Amateur Bangers, Adorable Legs, Group Sex Frenzy and many others. In fact, all of them can be accessed through All Porn Sites Pass, which is the mega-site. Just keep in mind that the bonuses overlap heavily with one another and some sites are simply duplicates. Other bonuses include video feeds and extra photo galleries.
The bonuses are great because they give you something to enjoy while you wait for updates. In fact four new flicks have been added to the collection in the last 30 days. Anal Fuck Thrills will undoubtedly prove to be thrilling to butt-fucking enthusiasts, but the nonexclusive content might be a turnoff for some.
* Please include a pro and a con about the site. Balance is essential in making a comment worthwhile. Scores without comments will be deleted.
* Watch out for ratings of zero and 100. In our opinion, there is no such thing as a site that is absolutely perfect or completely worthless.

Default Calendar Color Tip
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  notes8beta notes 2 Comments 2,888 Views
If you've installed Notes 8 and played around with it, you've noticed a few design changes (one or two). In the calendar, we thought it would be useful to give you good default colors so that the calendar would look like it was professionally designed, instead of letting our color-challenged users pick them. Problem is that if you installed over an existing Notes mail file, the calendar will use your existing color choices. The tell-tale sign is black text for entries, which to me looks a bit harsh because we are using a bold font for the titles. If you want to try the new colors, do the following:
1. In the Action Bar of the mail file, choose More...Preferences...
2. Choose the Calendar & To Do tab.
3. Choose the Colors tab.
4. Click the Restore Default Colors button (see picture below)
5. Click OK.

Inbox Side Prevew Pane Tip
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  notes notes8beta 1 Comment 2,966 Views
Some of you may have noticed the *new* ability to preview your mail, calendar, or contact list on the side, rather than the bottom of the screen. In the action bar, on the right, there is a Show menu to select it. However, there are some cases where you don't get the full effect of this new view, because the message list on the left doesn't change - it still looks like the regular inbox, as in this screen shot.
However, if you drag the window splitter to the left and make that inbox view more narrow, it will magically change to a different layout, as in this screen.
Around here, this view is popular with the executives (a favorite of development VP Kevin Cavanaugh, who sits across from me, and Mike Rhodin, for example). I sometimes use it myself, but it's not my favorite. I find it's best to have a higher resolution than 1024x768, although it can work ok.

Notes 8 Beta 2 Released
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  notes 1,927 Views
Unless you've been under a rock for the last few days, you probably already know that the long anticipated Notes "beta 2" release is available for download. As we did with Sametime, so we are doing with Notes - starting with the user in mind and building out the product from there. For Notes, it is quite the transformation. I've been using Notes 8 since I took this job (on the Design team) in July 2006 and haven't looked back at R7. I've seen some comments in the forums and blogs about not wanting to use R7 any more, too, which I think is a testament to the power of "the pull" - making users want to use the new product. Compatibility is excellent, I can run all my existing apps just fine. The new features really increase my productivity and enjoyment in using the product.
I'm proud to be part of this team, many of whom you've met at Lotusphere, in Usability sessions, in Design Partner reviews, in Mary Beth's blog and on the road. Look for us in the feedback forum - we are monitoring every post, believe me. Whether we put in a response or not, we are definitely reading and categorizing in roughly 3 areas:
1. Usability feedback - this gets tracked and reported in a Notes app we use for this purpose.Our team is primarily tracking the design and usability issues and others are tracking the SPRs.
2. Feature requests - different app, but new ideas get deposited here. We save everything!
3. SPRs (Software Problem Reports) - basically, bugs, or defects, in IBM lingo.
I'll be posting some of my favorite features in the coming days and weeks. Let us know in the forum (or here or anywhere!) what you find most compelling about Notes 8.

Notes 8 and internet email
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  email notes 1 Comment 2,147 Views
One of the most requested features for Notes is better interop with internet mail services. I did a few experiments for our Lotusphere talk with an email message to gmail accounts.
Here's what it looks like in gmail. Mary Beth sent me the first email from gmail and I replied.
Here's what it looks like back in Notes after I replied.
I think you'll be a lot happier with the results in Notes 8. The recipients will especially notice the simpler header and more faithful rendering.

What do you get when you mashup a laptop and printer?
TedStanton 0600014754 2 Comments 1,875 Views
So in my MBA program, I have been asked to create a radical new invention. Seeing as I'm in the technology industry, I came up with the LaptoPrinter [lap-tow-printer]. How many times have you been on a laptop and wish you had a printer?
The luxury of a laptop allows users to be mobile. With the growth of wireless technology, users no longer need to be "connected" to be online. However, when it comes time to print, you either need to be connected to a local or network printer. While blue-tooth printers allow unconnected printing, there is a 10 ft. maximum range and there are multiple security issues with leaving your laptop open for blue-tooth connectivity.
With the LaptoPrinter, you can print directly from your laptop. The laptop holds up to 10 sheets of 8.5 x 11 paper and can print color and black & white. The LaptoPrinter prints 6 sheets per minute for black & white photo's and 3 sheets per minute for color photo's. The ink cartridges can print about 200 sheets of paper and cost $15. The LaptoPrinter retails for about $1,500.
A good friend of mine even created a LaptoPrinter prototype image for me.

The Lotus Sametime Code Exchange - Open for Business
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  eclipse sametime blog development designer 1 Comment 3,049 Views
Calling all developers... Go forth and share your code!!
Some years back an internal IBM prototype development team had a scheming plan - to build an instant messaging client that was more than just a end user application, but also an extensible platform. Fast forward a few years and that internal prototype inspired the current version of Sametime. The scheme has been realized and Sametime 7.5 is now more than an application, it's also a pluggable platform. Using the Sametime SDK developers can build plug-ins that take advantage not only of the screen real estate, but also the messaging connections.
The success of the internal prototype was due in part to the community of IBM developers that dove into the code and produced useful plug-ins that they shared with users and other developers. In an effort to duplicate that success the folks from developerWorks have teamed up with the Sametime development team and the Lotus ISV Enablement team to deliver the Sametime Code Exchange. The Sametime Code Exchange is a space where developers can post plug-ins and code snippets to share with others - open to anyone with a developerWorks login.

What I love about Boston...
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  music 1,805 Views
I grew up in Phoenix, AZ, which is nice and all, but, for me, there's not enough of this: on Tuesday night, we went to see Oregon, one of our favorite groups ever. In fact, they are probably responsible for my sons existing, because my wife started playing the oboe because she heard Paul McCandless playing with the Paul Winter group. If she didn't study music, we wouldn't have known mutual musician friends and thus, would never had met! Then, tonight, we're going to see Solas, a hot Irish band. Then, tomorrow night, we have our regular Boston Symphony subscription tickets. 3 nights, 3 different types of music - all great!
Now, if we can do something about the ICE in my front yard, it'd be perfect...

FYI - LCD bundled with WebSphere Portal Express 6
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  portal designer 2 Comments 2,674 Views
Just as Lotus Workplace Designer 2.6 was bundled with Workplace Services Express 2.6, Lotus Component Designer is bundled with WebSphere Portal Express 6 . And, I see that the trial version of LCD is now showing up in what I think is it's rightful place - the Portal Zone on developerWorks. YEA!
(So, just when you thought things might be slowing down after Lotusphere...guess what? We're as busy as ever! Thus, the postings have not been forthcoming. Sorry. I will leave you with this interesting link to Jeff Eisen's blog where he put a screen shot of some improvements to the RSS Feed feature in Notes 8. We had been lobbying for some improvements, on behalf of our users, of course.)

My first Activity ....... Now I get it
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  connections activity lotusphere2007 2 Comments 3,750 Views
Announced at Lotusphere this year was a new product called Lotus Connections. One of the components is called Activities. Prior to yesterday, I have never used Activities. The reason for creating my activity was because I am working with a customer on upgrading their Portal v5.1 environment to v6.x. I'm in the process of putting together a project plan. In building the project plan, I am working with multiple IBM resources in development, test, security, project management, product development, and services. Up until yesterday, I had probably traded 40+ emails with these resources and when some of the responses or order of events conflicted, I was forced to fwd additional emails to more resources and found myself in a frenzy of emails.
Activities solved that problem for me. I created an Activity to help develop the project plan and invited all relevant resources. I then asked some questions via assigning tasks. Then everyone could see the response and share documents. In the first day, I had multiple people posting migration documents, existing project plans, and migration presentations. IBM'ers that had never communicated before were now part of one activity and reviewing each other's documents. As the Activity owner, I can assign task and move documents around in a outline view. I'm only in my second day with the Activity, but I have 12 participants involved (3 owners, 7 authors, and 2 readers). I have already found the Activity very useful with its simplicity to search with tags and get notification of new content via an ATOM feed.
More to come on this topic. When completed, I hope to clean up the Activity and open it up to everyone in IBM as a Portal migration reference.

Even the Thesaurus has a visualization face-lift
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  research 1,875 Views
There is no question that enhanced user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) is spreading throughout all applications. As Chris pointed out, IBM research is all over this. I am very impressed with the level of enhanced UI and UX in many products. Other then just impressive visualization, I have not found a useful purpose for many of these visualizations. Tonight that all changed as I tried to find a synonym for the word "activity". In my normal google search, I can across Visual Thesaurus. This cool new website/application take the thinkmap approach to visualization to help correlate words.
This website allows the user to have an interactive experience whether you are trying to find the definition, synonym, or even pronunciation. You can try the application for free before prompted for purchase. While I was on the website, I found what I needed in 2 minutes. However, I enjoyed the UX so much I keep re-launching the website for about 20 minutes playing around.

Lotus Connections = Automated Collaboration, a new generation
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  collaboration connections lotusphere2007 1,982 Views
Lotus Connections is an example of automated collaboration. By automated collaboration, I am referring to the way people work in their daily lives is now opening new collaborative channels. The first generations of electronic collaboration tools (email, IM, ftp, etc..) people needed to find the destination or know the resource in order to initiate a means of collaboration. The second generation (awareness, communities, ATOM, RSS, etc..) helped simplify the connections and user experience for collaboration.
A new generation of automated collaboration has been continuing to grow with products like del.icio.us facebook, digg, MySpace, and hundreds of others. This new generation of collaboration falling under social computing technology allows people to enhance their day-to-day activities. Lotus Connections takes this even further with more automated collaboration methods then any product on the market today. The five components of Connections all work together to provide users the best possible experience for collaboration. Connections simplifies identifying experts and provides the human intelligence needed to make search results more accurate and improving user connectivity in collaboration.
More to come from me on this topic. Their making last call for my flight so got to run.

Who was that band? and other odds and ends
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  music lotusphere2007 2,370 Views
The band that rocked the house during the opening general session was called The Ultrasonic Rock Orchestra. They even blogged about it themselves. Maybe they didn't think 7000 conference-goers would get into it so much or what? I couldn't find out too much about them, but you can explore their web site for more info, videos, and music. I'm guessing they have not played to that large of a crowd. They are playing the Arlington, MA Regent Theatre (a 511 seat venue) on Jan 27. I agree with Andrew that they would make a good Lotusphere tradition. It put everyone in a really good mood to start off the show.
I really enjoyed the closing session, with astrophysicist and director of the Hayden Planetarium in NYC at the American Museum of Natural History, Neil deGrasse Tyson. His 45 minute talk took the audience thru the Top Ten items from "The Cosmic Perspective". Interestingly, I never heard of the guy until a few weeks ago when I was flipping through channels and got hooked on Nova ScienceNow. I love this type of info, although I saw a few heads nodding during the "Numbers" segment. (I'm in the middle of "The Planets" by Dava Sobel.) I can't explain his whole talk, but took 3 things from it (not bad after a week at the 'sphere!):
1. While this year's theme was "IT revolves around YOU", the universe doesn't...revolve around you, that is. I feel very small and awed at the same time.That's it for now...
2. We are stardust. He was able to relate the stuff that stars are made of with little ol' us. Hydrogen, carbon, and so on.
3. There's a giant asteroid heading our way, scheduled to come real close to Earth's orbit April 13, 2029. Yes, that's a Friday. If it actually hits us, then I think it's all over (now, baby blue). So, while Lotusphere 2008 was announced for next January 20, let the rumors begin that there won't be one in January of 2030! (hee hee)

LotusScript library example - Domino Designer in Eclipse
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  designer eclipse 1,827 Views
The team (i.e. Maureen) has quietly been making progress on integrating Domino Designer with Eclipse. You can start to see what benefits you will get in this picture of a LotusScript library. Note the outline on the right side of the screen! This should provide some tangible results for why to bother with this work. Don't get hung up on Eclipse - if you don't care, then fine, you don't have to. If you do care, and use Eclipse for other projects, then you can have a single environment from which to work.
The usual caveats apply - no ship dates have been declared, it may never happen, or it may look different in the end.
(Maureen has another picture on her blog. I didn't know whether she was going to post something or not...)

Lost in the Hype - Lotus Component Designer Ships!
TedStanton 0600014754 Tags:  designer 1 Comment 2,521 Views
Heard in the hallways today - Lotus Component Designer 6 ships today! Since I spent a significant part of my life on that product, I'm proud to say that you can now get your hands on it.
The short version of what is new:
Evaluation download is here. You'll need both the tool and the runtime. I'd go for the Quickstart Guide first, just to see what is involved.
I did hear at the opening general session that Domino Designer 8 will include a license for Component Designer 6.x - that's the version that will support rich client application development, in addition to the portal/html rendering in v 6.0. This will make it easy for Domino developers to start using LCD, at least removing price as a barrier.
Maybe tomorrow I can get a picture of the Eclipse and Domino Designer integration.

Getting Respect from Commercial Printers
Why is it that sometimes in-plant printers can't catch a break—at least, not from commercial printers? It seems like every time I talk to a commercial printer and the subjects of in-plants comes up, all I hear is negativity.
For instance, on a recent flight, I spent two hours of sheer hell arguing with the owner of a print and mail house, who had a very low opinion of in-plant managers. More on that exchange in a minute.
I don't want to generalize about all commercial printers based on the actions of a few. Over the years I've built up good relations with many of them, and I've had more than one commercial printer tell me that he wouldn't trade jobs; running an in-plant is too demanding.
Once, when the shop I managed was flooded, our friends in the commercial sector came to our rescue. They didn't take our misfortune as an opportunity to gouge the university; they let us use their presses when they didn't have work for them, let us borrow makeready and bindery facilities, and gave us room to store paper. They pitched in and helped us, and as a result we managed to get most of our critical jobs done on time.
So, no, I won't generalize about all commercial sector printers; I've known some that understand the pressures of running an in-plant. I just wish more of them would show us the same courtesy.
When I do in-plant assessments I try to talk to commercial printers in the area. Over the years I've learned that when describing my years of experience as a print manager, it's best not to mention that my experience is in managing in-plants, because when I do my credibility with commercial printers flies out the window. It doesn't matter that I managed a three tower 1,000 feet-per-minute roll-to-roll, or a string of 40˝ manroland presses, or a four-tower roll-fed 25˝ web, or that in one shop I managed, 100,000 was a short run. My experience was still managing an in-plant so I couldn't possibly know anything about "real printing."

Apparently, multi-artist Bjørn Wiinblad is gifted with a sparkling fantasy putting him in the position to create exuberant masterpieces of ceramics, which during the years have enthused people across the globe. T is no doubt about his significant position within the decorative art and craftwork. His design is strongly personal and often has a touch of Oriental inspiration.
In 1998, when Bjørn Wiinblad celebrated his 80 birthday, the exhibition place Sophienholm in Lyngby north of the Danish capital Copenhagen dedicated a special exhibition to his works through time. For the exhibition a catalogue with text written by Bjørn Wiinblad himself was published.
A peculiar tradition in Wiinblad's family was that the youngsters usually got an education as typesetter, only to find out which line of business they would actually choose later in life. 17 years old Wiinblad followed this tradition and became a typesetters apprentice in 1935. Luckily he left this path as a technical composer of newspaper pages and became an artist.
To become a designer was a natural choice for Bjørn Wiinblad who already as a child was renowned for his creative mind. Before Christmas he was always busy drawing, painting, cutting and pasting astonishing gifts for friends and family.
Apparently, his calling is to create designs that makes the world a little bit more beautiful, a little more inspiring, a little more funny and often much more colourful. In doing so, he works in many different areas, for example with ceramics, porcelain, glass, posters, decoration for the theatres as well as textiles. In his own words, working with many different kinds of art is "a permanent search for the uncertain - to be a beginner - so that I must exert myself to meet the requirements of the different tasks". This shall be seen contrary to the artists seeking perfection in one specific area.
As a fresh educated typesetter Bjørn Wiinblad joined the school of graphics at the Academy of Art with the aim to become an illustrator. A coincidental meeting with a fellow student changed this plan. The student took Wiinblad to a ceramics workshop w he was invited to decorate a newly thrown clay bowl. "I never forget the moment, I took the cow's horn in my hand and started to decorate - it was big and fortunate moment. When I left the workshop, I knew that I had experienced something special", Bjørn Wiinblad writes in the above mentioned catalogue.
At this time, his preferred work became the decoration of large bowls with cow horn paint, w after pottery tradition clay colour was applied directly on the potsherd.
This was followed by an ambivalent period w Bjørn Wiinblad tried to continue his graphical studies and simultaneously by all means tried to work with ceramics. He was happy when he got the opportunity to work solely on his own projects at the workshop of ceramist Lars Syberg in Tåstrup near Copenhagen.
In 1945 Bjørn Wiinblad for the first time exhibited his works to the public. The exhibition consisted of ceramics, naturalistic portraits, children's books that he both illustrated and wrote including a complete illustrated edition of Aladdin. In retroperspect this was an important turning point for his future career. In this frame he became acquainted with Jacob E. Bang, who just had been promoted to art director of the faience factory Nymølle. This was Wiinblad's first contact with industry and also the beginning of a "fortunate collaboration". .
