great place for a family - I would recommend they update the drapes - that is all. I would stay there again in a jiffy!
6 ladies stayed here lovely apartments very modern. Nice location. Wee bit away from busy bit but loads of trams taxis etc and you could walk but we preferred to use transport. Easy check in and out person meets you at apts. All in all a fab place.
Great appartment for a group. Clean, spacious, good cooking facilities and nice linen and towels supplied. We could have done with a cloth for wiping the benches after cooking. No curtains in one room which was annoying with light coming in. Really comfortable bed. Close to cafes and restaurants and Lidle.
The apartment was amazing, really nicely decorated and looked after and had everything that we needed.

iPod accessory manufacturer Griffin Technology on Thursday unveiled the PowerDock 2 and PowerDock 4, a new dual- and quad-slot charger for the iPod and iPhone. The PowerDock gives iPod owners two to four dock connectors with eight universal bezel adapters to hold and charge two iPods or iPhones at the same time. The brushed aluminum stand features a rubber bottom to prevent slipping. Griffin is selling the PowerDock 2 for $50, while the PowerDock 4 is selling for $70.
Sony Ericsson follows Wii, iPhone in gesture gaming
Sony Ericsson is allegedly making a move to up its devotion to the gaming industry by allowing the cameras in its phones to function as a motion-controlling sensor. Pocket-lint reports that the communications device company has signed a deal with California-based GestureTek to incorporate the software into its phones in September. Sony at present already uses the software for its EyeToy camera device on the PlayStation 2, and will allegedly function on Sony Ericsson's older phones as well.
Dell: revenue up on notebook sales in Q1
Dell has reported fiscal first quarter revenue of $16 billion, a 9 percent year-over-year increase. While net earnings of $0.38 cents per share represent a 12 percent increase, operating income was down 4 percent compared to the year-ago quarter. In a statement, Dell officials said that the results were driven by "better-than-industry growth of commercial and consumer products and services, and lower operating expense as a percent of revenue." Specifically, notebook sales skyrocketed 43 percent, a rate Dell says is 1.2 times the industry average. The consumer segment was also especially strong, with Dell claiming to grow global share of this market by 1.2 points to 8.8 percent during the quarter.

Apple to offer largest ever education deals Monday?
Apple is expected to unveil its 2008 back-to-school promotion, a move that senior vice president Ron Johnson calls Apple's biggest educational special "ever". AppleInsider reports that the incentives will be larger than any promotion in Apple's history, with some leaning towards the company's possible inclusion of the 8GB iPod touch into the deal. Particulars on the special were not readily available, but Apple is expected to start the offer as soon as Monday, June 2nd.
Cannon PC to offer CableCARDs in its HTPCs
Earlier this week, Cannon PC announced it will soon offer its Home- and Pro A/V-series HTPCs with dual and even quad CableCARDs installed. This allows them to record up to four individual standard- or high-def programs simultaneously, as each card will effectively act as a separate TV tuner, taking the place of a set-top box. Cannon PC took the opportunity to announce a direct OEM partnership with Microsoft as well, and all of the company's HTPCs use Microsoft's Windows Media Center as the multimedia interface.
3K Computers releases RazorBook 400 UMPC
3K Computers on Wednesday announced the release of the RazorBook 400 Ultra Mobile PC. The ASUS Eee PC competitor sports an identical 7-inch screen with 800x480 (WXGA) resolution and SSD drive, but runs on a 400MHz single-core mobile processor from Ingenic that helps to lower its price point. Built-in Wi-Fi allows browsing the Internet.
Calories 1.0 gauges meal worth
NSObjects has released Calories 1.0, a new dietary program. Calories tracks your caloric intake meal-to-meal, using a database of over 6,900 food types, and 44 nutrient types. The interface combines a food database with caloric readout, and is visually reminiscent of Apple�s Mail display. Calories focuses on daily tracking of meals and snacks, with readouts of caloric consumption and a breakdown of calories, carbs, fats, proteins and nutrients. The program is especially geared toward fitness and bodybuilding, though it can be used for short-term dieting or regular meals.
Glide OS 3.0 adds 'One' sync system
TransMedia has debuted v3.0 of Glide OS, its web-based operating system. Because it functions online it is compatible with platforms including Mac OS X, Linux, Windows and Solaris, and is available in 18 different languages, incluiding English, French, Spanish and Japanese.

TiVo planning "whole-home" DVR
TiVo is prepping a digital video recorder that would serve as a hub for an entire house, company chief Tom Rogers confirms at the D6 Conference. He notes that current TiVos are essentially limited and can't record or offer content to more than one TV set in the home; the Wi-Fi adapter that lets the TiVo work remotely is only a part solution to the problem, Rogers says. Instead, TiVo is working to produce a version of its self-titled hubs that could give "whole-home" access, though the executive doesn't provide more details.
Pinch Media nets investors, unveils iPhone dev app
Pinch Media on Thursday received an undisclosed amount of funds from a conglomerate of investors to help the New York-based startup develop free tools for iPhone developers. Silicon Alley Insider writes that the investment came from Union Square Ventures, First Round Capital, and Sharkey Goldstein Capital, with private financial strategists Dave Morgan, Jerry Neumann, and Mike Yavonditte. Specifics on the deal were not made available, but Union Square representative Fred Wilson claimed it is a "typical early stage deal."
VIA's Nano family of chips put to the test
Earlier today, VIA Technologies made public details on its new Nano processing chip family that comprises five processors. VIA claims improved performance compared to its own C7 processors, and has provided test results it says prove the fact. The competition is also squarely in sights, as the Nanos' x86 instruction set allows it to run the same software as Intel's Atom and AMD Celeron M CPUs, with which the Nano was designed to compete. Performance comparisons are already surfacing from independent sources.
RapidWeaver 4.0 aims at Leopard, iPhone support
Realmac has released v4.0 of RapidWeaver, its flagship web design application.

Dell owns up to mini notebook, posts teaser
Dell has quickly acknowledged the existence of its unintentionally revealed micro notebook at the Wall Street Journal's D6 Conference by posting first details of the device. Secretive about most of the device, the company says the system recognizes calls by the community for a Dell UMPC and says its founder describes the design as a computer to reach the "next billion internet users." The photo file names notably make reference to a "mini Inspiron" and confirm styling very similar to the much larger Inspiron models.
Apple filming commercial at NYC store?
Apple is reportedly filming a commercial at its flagship Manhattan Apple Store today, shutting down the store for six hours. Apple's retail store page states: "Please note we will be temporarily closed Thursday, May 29 at 3:00 p.m. and will reopen Friday, May 30 at 9:00 a.m. During this time, please visit one of our other two Manhattan locations." As noted by MacRumors the 5th Avenue store has only been entirely closed twice in its history: the iPhone launch and the Leopard launch. Speculation holds that a television commercial will be filmed during this closure.
Infineon sees low orders on mystery 3G project
Chipmaker Infineon today fueled speculation when it said it will take deeper than expected losses for its ongoing quarter based on low orders for an anonymous project. The company explains that a deal to supply wireless chipsets to Nokia has been delayed but has drawn attention by refusing to name another company which has ordered fewer HSDPA-based 3G chipsets than anticipated. Analysts at JPMorgan and UBS believe Infineon's client may be Apple and suggest that the company may have dropped its build rates for a future 3G-capable iPhone.
Motorola V750 to debut with Verizon push-to-talk
Motorola will premiere a new phone with the debut of Verizon's push-to-talk (PTT) service this summer, promotional documents show. The V750 is intended for people working in environments such as construction sites, and as such is designed to meet the US military's 810F specification, which requires protection against elements such as heat, cold, dust, shocks and solar radiation. It likewise has extended battery power, enabling talk-time of up to 330 minutes, or standby of 540 hours (22+ days). These figures do however shrink in PTT mode, falling to 230 minutes and 83 hours, respectively.
SanDisk intros fastest-ever Memory Stick PRO-HG
SanDisk on Thursday revealed the Extreme III Memory Stick PRO-HG Duo memory cards, which are capable of an unheard of 30MBps read and write transfer speeds for the format. In comparison, the company's non-HG Extreme III Memory Stick cards manage 18MBps speeds. SanDisk's newest memory card is made to work with Sony's home and professional still cameras, as well as certain camcorders, and should also be compatible with Sony's PSP portable gaming system. The consumer electronics company was actively involved in the PRO-HG card's development.
Acer 'Aspire One' UMPC revealed?
Images and information have leaked for Acer's rumored answer to ASUS' Eee PC, according to various sources. The computer is allegedly named the "Aspire One," and features an 8.9-inch screen, with a native resolution of 1024x768. At the core is said to be an Atom/Diamondville processor, running Windows XP SP3; the trackpad is said to be similar to that on the HP 2133, which may not be a coincidence as the ODM company is believed to be Quanta, which services HP, Dell and Apple.
Sony Ericsson to show new phones in June
Sony Ericsson is planning a signifcant new phone launch for next month, says a Dutch announcement. Though short on details, the announcement image points to an "exclusive preview" of new Sony Ericsson phones and accessories at an Amsterdam gathering. No official clues are provided as to the nature of the devices other than a teaser slogan about "reaching new heights."
Apple aims for iPod 'ecosystem' patent, w/wireless
Among Apple's published patent applications today is a broadly comprehensive one, simply listed as Media Player System. The patent would cover virtually all aspects of normal iPod and iPhone use, including not just the controls and displays on the devices, but docks, connectors and the process of synching to a computer.
Gear4 intros StreetParty III speaker system
Following up its DUO iPod dock released earlier this month, UK-based Gear4 has now released the StreetParty III, a portable speaker system that charges and plays Apple's docking iPods (including the iPod touch) and all other digital audio devices via a 3.5mm audio jack. The StreetParty III can be folded flat for easy portability, and relies on four AA batteries for music on the go.
Apple, Canon, Toshiba favorites in Japan
Apple is on par with Canon and Toshiba as one of the most highly regarded brands in Japan, according to a new study published by Gfk. Surveys of more than 40,000 Japanese people gives the American company equal footing with the other electronics makers despite Japan's historical preference for native brands. The company's industrial design and support for Windows users have helped it reach the top ranks, the research group says. Apple specifically earned its highest scores for both desktop and notebook PCs as well as portable media players.
Apple files for wireless location-finding patents
Several Apple patent applications have today been published by the US Patent and Trademark Office, focusing around wireless location technology. The first involves Bluetooth devices, and specifically a means of finding them when they are lost; a master device "pings" the lost slave, which in turn makes audible or visible signals to lure a person towards its hiding place. The master could also be used gauge the distance to the slave, narrowing its location down even further.
Panasonic intros Wi-Fi travel projectors
In an aggressive change to its lineup, Panasonic this morning unveiled its LB75 and LB80 projectors for frequent travelers. The entire line is designed to be small and light enough to accompany a notebook, weighing under 7 pounds, and in some cases to have an almost cable-free setup process: the LW80NTU, LB80NTU, and LB75NTU all include built-in 802.11g Wi-Fi that allows them to deliver images from as many as 128 nearby wireless computers, including more recent systems running Mac OS X Leopard and Windows Vista. The designs are also more dust-resistant than earlier models and have better image processing to improve viewability in daylight.
Samsung still calling L870 browser Safari
Samsung is still insisting that it can call the L870's web browser Safari, according to a Samsung spokesperson contacted by Phone Arena. While the cellphone is now believed to just have a standard version of the Nokia Mini Map browser, which shares much of Safari's WebKit rendering engine, a Samsung media official continues to refer to the phone's web app as a Symbian Series S60 version of the "Safari browser" and equates it to the Nokia software. Press materials also continue to mention Safari.
TV shows arrive at French iTunes Store
After some delay relative to its neighbors in Europe, France is the latest country to officially gain access to TV shows through the iTunes Store (link). Content consists of a mix of foreign and local programming, with local networks including ARTE, Dargaud TV, Dupuis TV, France 2 and TF1 Vision. The two foreign broadcasters are American ones, ABC and MTV.
ASUS dropping Eee PC 900 orders, waiting for Atom?
ASUS has already stopped accepting orders from resellers for the Eee PC 900 while it gears up for its Atom-based sequel, industry insiders reportedly say. Although just introduced as recently as mid-May for the US, the 900 is already being phased out in favor of the Eee PC 901 and its anticipated June 3rd launch date. The alleged swap effectively confirms early reports that the 900 is a stopgap model meant to introduce the 8.9-inch notebook's features ahead of rivals while temporarily using the older Celeron M processor.
Movies coming to iTunes UK, Canada
A select number of movies should soon be available for sale from the UK and Canadian iTunes Stores, writes The Times. The British newspaper cites studio sources, who claim that Apple has signed new agreements with four major studios: Fox, Disney, Warner Bros. and Paramount. Lionsgate and MGM are also expected to join in the deal, but issues appear to remain with Sony and Universal. Crucially, people should be able to both buy and rent films from iTunes, at prices comparable to the countries' DVD and video-on-demand options.
Intel 32Gb chip would allow 64GB jukeboxes
Intel's NAND flash group today introduced the first flash memory to be made on a sub-40 nanometer manufacturing process. Based on a 34nm process, the chip co-developed with Micron holds 32 gigabits (4GB) like the highest-end flash chips but does so in a standard package smaller than a thumbnail; this lets manufacturers build in the extra storage without having to significantly overhaul their existing hardware, Intel says. The company also hopes it will drive the cost down of expanding storage without affecting size.
Samsung intros extra-thin Soulb media phone
Samsung today hoped to capitalize on the success of the Soul with the Soulb, its latest candybar phone. It drops the touchscreen keypad of the original slider but compensates with an ultra-thin design and media features: the handset is just 0.39in thick but still finds room for a 3-megapixel camera with an LED flash, 1GB of built-in flash memory, and a microSD slot for extra storage. The phone also brandishes a newly designed user interface and allows for basic on-device video editing.
QuarkXPress 8 offers refined interface, more
Digital publishing giant Quark on Thursday unveiled QuarkXPress 8, the latest version of its page-layout and design software, which boasts a newly redesigned interface and simplified workflow. Quark says that the overall user experience has been refined, allowing users to quickly grab, rotate, and scale images in real time, without needing to type numbers or switch between tools, for example. QuarkXPress 8 also features an enhanced B�zier pen tool, which encourages illustration directly within the application.
3 to carry iPhone in Hong Kong, Macau
Hutchison, parent company of cellular provider 3, today said it has signed a deal with Apple to carry the iPhone in Hong Kong and Macau. As with agreements struck in recent weeks, Hutchison doesn't provide specifics and says only that it will offer the iPhone sometime "later this year." The introduction is the first for Chinese-owned territories and the first for 3, whose coverage area includes parts of Europe already addressed by other iPhone carriers.
VIA debuts Isaiah-based Nano chip family
On the heels of its C7-based OpenBook reference design, VIA Technologies on Thursday formally introduced its VIA Nano processor family based on the "Isaiah" architecture. VIA claims that the Nano family, which uses Fujitsu�s 65 nanometer process, offers as much as four times the performance of its previous-generation within the same power and thermal envelope, while offering pin-compatibility with VIA C7 processors. Introduced in January, the new low-power CPU features out-of-order processing, a large 1MB L2 cache, and an improved FPU for 2-4 times the performance of the previous-generation C7 processor at the same clock speeds. While already sampling the chips to vendors, VIA says expects to ship the low-power (L-series) and ultra-low-power (U-series) Nano chips in the third quarter in speeds up to 1.8GHz.

Apple's third-quarter results due July 26
Apple has advised it will be issuing its third-quarter results on July 26, with a conference call to answer investor and analyst queries about the earnings set to take place later that day. The stream of the call will go live at 2pm PT (5pm ET) via Apple's investor site, with the results themselves expected to be released roughly 30 minutes before the call commences. Apple's guidance for the quarter put revenue at between $41 billion and $43 billion. http://apple.co/1oi1Pbm
Twitter stickers slowly roll out to users
Twitter has introduced "stickers," allowing users to add extra graphical elements to their photos before uploading them to the micro-blogging service. A library of hundreds of accessories, props, and emoji will be available to use as stickers, which can be resized, rotated, and placed anywhere on the photograph. Images with stickers will also become searchable with viewers able to select a sticker to see how others use the same graphic in their own posts. Twitter advises stickers will be rolling out to users over the next few weeks, and will work on both the mobile apps and through the browser. http://bit.ly/29bbwUE
French show carries on with iPhones
Following a prolonged power loss in a French TV studio, the crew was able to use a combination of limited studio lighting and a number of iPhones to continue taping the Saturday episode of talk show On n'est pas couché ("We're Still Awake"), using the resulting footage in the first edited episode. The Plus-model iPhones used for the impromptu shoot completion were either iPhone 6 Plusses (which shoot in 1080p) or 6s Plus models (which can shoot in 4K). The decision to use the iPhones to complete the show was made after a power outage at France 2's studio stretched to more than three hours. http://bit.ly/299wqDt
Scrivener for iOS to arrive in late July
For some long-time Scrivener users, to quote Paul Simon, "these are the days of miracle and wonders." As it marks its 10th anniversary in business, developer Keith Blount has announced that the long-awaited iOS version of his creative-writing tool Scrivener is to be submitted to the App Store, following strong praise from beta-testers. The program, expected in late July, will sell for $20 and work with both the iPad and iPhone. When we interviewed Blount last January, he added that Scrivener 3 for Mac would follow along shorty afterwards. http://bit.ly/2901XLE
WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu

A firm's claim for more than $100 million in damages from Bernie Ecclestone is far-fetched and relies on confessions from a jailed banker who is a "fantasist", a lawyer for the Formula One boss argued on Wednesday.
German media firm Constantin Medien alleges that Ecclestone and three other defendants deliberately undervalued Formula One when German bank BayernLB sold its 47 percent stake in the sport to CVC Capital Partners for $830 million in 2005.
Constantin had an interest in the sale and says it lost out as a result of the undervaluation, which it says was a "corrupt bargain" instigated by Ecclestone because he knew CVC would keep him in place as Formula One chief.
Putting forward Ecclestone's version of events on the second day of a civil case at the High Court in London, lawyer Robert Miles said there was no merit in Constantin's claim.
"This is a case that simply does not add up," he said, arguing that Ecclestone would have had no interest in undervaluing Formula One when his family's Bambino Holdings was selling its own 25 percent stake at the same price.
Ecclestone, 83, is to give evidence in person next week.
The case is one of a barrage of legal problems that threaten to end his long reign over Formula One. A German court is to decide next year whether he should be tried for bribery there.
He rejects Constantin's allegation BayernLB was persuaded to sell to CVC at that price because he promised multi-million-dollar bribes to the executive in charge, Gerhard Gribkowsky.
"The bank was absolutely delighted at the offer. The reason it sold to CVC was because it considered it was a very good offer," Miles said.

text: Benefits U.S. Employers Increase Use of Health Incentives August 8, 2012 (PLANSPONSOR.com) - U.S. employers are increasingly relying on incentives to drive participation in health programs and encouraging employees and their families to take better care of themselves, according to a survey. By Jay Polansky firstname.lastname@example.com | August 08, 2012 Page 1 of 2 View Full Article Aon Hewitt found 84% of employers now offer incentives for participating in a health risk questionnaire (HRQ), and nearly two-thirds (64 percent) offer an incentive for participation in biometric screenings. Half (51%) provide incentives to employees who participate in health improvement and wellness programs. "Programs and tools like HRQs and biometric screenings can make employees more aware of their health status and of the opportunities to improve their health, but alone they won't move the needle when it comes to health improvement and mitigating cost," said Jim Winkler, chief innovation officer for Health & Benefits at Aon Hewitt. "Incentives solely tied to participation tend to become entitlement programs, with employees expecting to be rewarded without any sense of accountability for better health. To truly impact employee behavior change, more and more organizations realize they need to closely tie rewards to outcomes and better results rather than just enrollment."The use of monetary incentives, in particular, has increased dramatically over the past year. This year, 59% of employers used monetary incentives to promote participation in wellness and health improvement programs, up from 37% last year. The use of monetary incentives for participating in disease/condition management programs almost tripled this year, from 17% in 2011 to 54%. Of companies that offer incentives, 58% offer some form of incentive for completing lifestyle modification programs, such as quitting smoking or losing weight. About one-quarter offer incentives for progress or attainment made towards meeting acceptable ranges for biometric measures such as blood pressure, body mass index, blood sugar and cholesterol.

Original Windows iPods Ineligible For MUSICMATCH Update
It seems that the MUSICMATCH software key that shipped with the original Windows iPod will not activate the new 8.0 version. Users must purchase an upgrade. iLounge Forum members suggest that new docking iPods are able to obtain the update at no charge, but the 8.0 version does not have an iPod plugin as yet.

I bought my win-iPOD 2 months ago, but had no trouble at all to upgrade my MUSICMATCH version to 8.0 The only thing I can't stand is that Apple still didn't release the iPOD-update 1.3 for Windows, although it was anounced for early May.

I also did not have a problem updating from Musicmatch 7.5 to 8.0. But I also have a key for All Future Versions, so I didn't need to pay for the upgrade.

The Presidential Office refused to comment on a media allegation yesterday that President Chen Shui-bian's (陳水扁) daughter used the president's special allowance fund to buy a children's book, but officials stressed that they would take legal action against false reports. An Apple Daily story claimed that the High Prosecutor's Office has asked Eslite Bookstore to provide the receipt for a purchase Chen Hsing-yu (陳幸妤) made in August 2004. The report said she spent NT$1,000 on the book and some suspected that she used the receipt to claim reimbursement from the special allowance fund. The bookstore confirmed yesterday that it had received a letter from the prosecutor's office and said it was searching for the receipt.

Teacher Training Testimonails: (more linked)
The 2-year, 200-hour Teacher Training at Yoga Centre Winnipeg is one of the most comprehensive yoga teacher training programs in the province. The 2-year time span allows for personal and professional growth and development through practice and reflection. You are not only introduced to a wealth of valuable knowledge, but to an amazing network of supportive, fellow yogis. I highly recommend it for anyone who is interested in teaching yoga or deepening their personal practice. The warmth and approachability of the teachers and studio itself make for a welcoming learning environment.
"I was at a point in my life when I was really searching for something. I needed to commit to something that would occupy my time and take my mind off the fact that somehow my kids had grown up and moved away and it was finally time to do something for me. Going to yoga a couple of times a week was great but I wanted a deeper commitment and the yoga teacher training has provided exactly that. It has changed my life completely! I have made new friends, I feel healthier than I have in years and finally I am doing what I want to do!"

Makulu's LinDoz Is a Smooth Windows-Cinnamon Blend
That technical issue aside, The MakuluLinux line is one of my favorites. Unlike typical distros, Makulu strays from some of the mainstream primary applications. It also has a set of the most commonly used software preinstalled regardless of the desktop flavor selected. For example, it uses the WPS office suite. If you fancy the Cinnamon desktop, you will feel right at home with MakuluLinux. If you cut your computing teeth on Microsoft Windows, you will be particularly enamored with the LinDoz Edition.
Latest From Red Hat Summit
Hands on with KaOS Linux: Not just another derivative distro
For an application first demonstrated a year ago, GigJam still feels tantalizingly unfinished, with a limited number of services you can connect to, frustrating bugs when connecting to Microsoft's own services, no way to work offline and an interface you're unlikely to figure out without reading the documentation (and even then may find frustrating). It's also a fascinating glimpse into what the Microsoft Graph can unlock. The ability to filter your CRM leads information based on your meetings, or your email based on your unfulfilled orders, or your tasks based on the emails about what you're supposed to be doing -- and share that view with your colleagues -- could make you hugely productive. The ability to see the PowerPoint and the Word document you're going to use in a meeting, along with the emails everyone has had from the people you're meeting with so you know what they care about, could be a great way to prepare for the meeting. And you can do all that without sharing more information than you want (probably). It's a fantastic idea, but Microsoft really needs to improve the execution.

Wicked crooner rediscovers roots
Chris Isaak will perform classic 50s hits and his own chart toppers on Deniliquin's Blue & Roots Festival stage.November 16, 2012 2:15pm
Crooning hits like Wicked Game, Please, Somebody's Crying and Baby Did a Bad, Bad Thing shot American heart-throb Chris Isaak to fame.
Yet, after more than a quarter of a century into his career, Isaak says he's finally created the album he's always wanted to make .
Beyond the Sun, Isaak's first Vanguard Records release, is truly a labour of love.
Isaak admits to always being obsessed with the glory days of Memphis' Sun Studio and the visionary artists like Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Carl Perkins and Jerry Lee Lewis who got their starts there, all discovered and nurtured by the late, great Sun Records founder, Sam Phillips.
Now, at long last, Isaak has acted on this lifelong obsession, magically recapturing the transformative hepcat brilliance of the classic sides cut by these greats with Phillips during the mid-50s, while also getting down to the heart and soul of his own deeply rooted musical identity.
''I did this because I love this music — that's the entire reason,'' Isaak said.
''You gotta listen to the original ones — they're classics — they're awesome, but you can have fun with them.
''These guys discovered this music for us and we had to rediscover it. There's no way to do it exactly like they did it, so you've gotta give a little bit of your own take on it.''
Isaak is joined on the record by his long-time band — bass player Rowland Salley and drummer Kenney Dale Johnson, guitarist Hershel Yatovitz, pianist Scott Plunkett, and percussionist Rafael Padilla. It is still to be determined which night — Easter Saturday or Sunday — Isaak and his band will perform in Deniliquin.

Taylor Swift shows off slim figure in tiny tube top on outing with her parents... before displaying her long legs in little blue shorts for solo jaunt
She kicked off the day with some quality family time.
Taylor Swift stepped out with her parents Scott and Andrea in New York City on Friday, highlighting her slim figure in a tiny black tube top.
The 24-year-old pop star later changed into a pair of little blue shorts, displaying her long slender legs, for a solo jaunt.
Family day: Taylor Swift was spotted enjoying some quality time with her parents Scott and Andrea in New York on Friday
Transformation: She later changed into a more summery look for a solo jaunt
The 22 hitmaker sported a black blazer for part of the family outing before she stripped down to her crop top in the summer heat.
Displaying her long legs in capri trousers, Taylor stood tall in stilettos as she carried a leather handbag.
The gorgeous blonde wore her hair in flowing waves over her shoulders as she painted her lips bright red.
Her parents were a bit more casually attired as her dad opted for khaki trousers and a polo shirt for the outing.
Long and tall: The 24-year-old displayed her lean frame in a tight-fitting getup
Taking it easy: The pop singer appeared to be in a relaxed mood
The big reveal: The star peeled off her jacket to expose her toned shoulders underneath on the hot summer's day
And her mother Andrea made sure to remain comfortable in white trousers and a black top while stomping around in flat white sandals.
Later that same day the You Belong With Me singer posed for snaps with a fan who sat in a wheel chair, and made sure to sign a few mementos.
She later changed into a more summery look, including a white T-shirt tucked into navy blue shorts, with high-heeled brown Oxford shoes.
Taylor appeared to be carrying her cats in a pink and black animal carrier bag.
Memento: Taylor signed an autograph for a fan
Posing up: The pair then had a few snaps taken
Goodbye: Taylor hugged her fan as she readied to leave
Meanwhile, Taylor has recently been working on her latest album - the follow up to her 2012 hit Red.
'I've already been working very hard on it and it's already my favourite thing that I've ever created,' she told MTV News back in May.
And the star reassured fans she's still taking a very personal approach to her song writing.
'As I've grown up, the things I've written about have completely evolved with how I was growing,' she declared.
'I was writing songs about what it was like to be 18, what it was like to be 20, what it's like to be 22 and now I'm 24 and I'm still writing songs about my life.'

Gateway Motorsports Park and Area Businesses Celebrate the Groundbreaking of the New Kinder ParkWritten by Steven B. Wilson Thursday, 23 June 2016 17:37
It's called Kinder Park but you won't see many children playing and you won't hear much laughter at this tiny, outdated park in Fairmont City, Illinois. Officials at neighboring Gateway Motorsports Park and other area organizations are working to bring life back into a playground that hasn't been updated since the 1950's.
"The children of Fairmont are in serious need of a safe, playful, happy park where they can forget about everything except being a kid," said Fairmont City Mayor Alex J. Bregen. "Kinder Park is a great neighborhood park that has incredible potential for fun if we can provide a little bit of love to it." The 15,810-square-foot park is located at the corner of Kinder Street and Cohn Avenue.
Known as the "city of good neighbors," Fairmont City has a population of about 3,000 people and boasts the highest percentage of Hispanics in the entire St. Louis Metropolitan area, with 71 percent of the population of Hispanic descent according to the 2010 census. The city sits adjacent to Cahokia Mounds and is only about five minutes from downtown St. Louis. More than 25 percent of the city's children live below the poverty line.
Jay Hoffman, member of the Illinois House of Representatives told Gateway Motorsports Park owner Curtis Francois about Kinder Park and the need for new, safe playground equipment after Francois mentioned his desire to give back to the community. "Children of all economic backgrounds need fun, safe, exciting places to play," said Francois. "When I learned about Kinder Park, I called the folks a few business associates and asked for their support. They jumped in willing and ready to assist with this need, and here we are today ready to get this playground rebuilt."

Kansas to perform Bojangles Southern 500 Pre-Race concert presented by GEICOWritten by Steven B. Wilson Thursday, 23 June 2016 14:06
Fitting into its throwback weekend plans of celebrating the 1975-84 era of the sport, Darlington Raceway will have classic rock legends KANSAS perform the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series Bojangles' Southern 500 pre-race concert presented by GEICO on Sunday, Sept. 4.
KANSAS, known for its hits Carry On Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind, is one of the top-selling bands of the late 1970's and early 1980's. The band has produced eight gold albums, three sextuple-Platinum albums (Leftoverture, Point of Know Return, Best of KANSAS), one platinum live album (Two for the Show) and two one million-selling gold singles (Carry on Wayward Son and Dust in the Wind).
KANSAS appeared on the Billboard charts for over 200 weeks throughout the '70's and '80's and played to sold-out arenas and stadiums throughout North America, Europe and Japan. Carry On Wayward Son continues to be on of the top five most played songs on classic rock radio, and Dust In the Wind has been played on the radio more than three million times!
"For the second consecutive year, we're bringing pre-race entertainment to Darlington Raceway that fits our 1975-84 throwback celebration perfectly," Darlington Raceway President Chip Wile said. "KANSAS was an iconic band in that era whose hit songs you can still hear on classic rock stations to this day. We're excited for them to perform for our fans and give the Bojangles' Southern 500 pre-race ceremonies a nostalgic feel as we celebrate the history and heritage of NASCAR on Labor Day weekend."
"It's never boring when you mix rock music, Darlington Raceway, and NASCAR fans!" original drummer for KANSAS, Phil Ehart said. "It will be a great Labor Day weekend event."
Fans of KANSAS have the exclusive opportunity to watch the concert from the front of the pre-race stage. In addition to the purchase of a Bojangles' Southern 500 grandstand ticket, a pre-race access pass may be purchased for an additional $45. This pass will not only give fans stage front access for the concert, but will also include an up close view of the Sprint Cup Series stars as they are introduced to the crowd. Supplies are limited.
Coinciding with the celebration of their 40th anniversary in 2013, KANSAS was inducted into both the Kansas Hall of Fame and Georgia Music Hall of Fame as recognition for their achievements from both their native state and adopted home state.
2016 marks the release of "The Prelude Implicit," KANSAS's fifteenth studio album. The wide-ranging progressive rock album set for release in September by Inside Out Music, and marks the band's first studio album release in 16 years.
The band, which is currently comprised of original drummer Phil Ehart, bassist/vocalist Billy Greer, keyboardist David Manion, vocalist/keyboardist Ronnie Platt, violinist/guitarist David Ragsdale, guitarist Zak Rizvi and original guitarist Richard Williams, continues to perform in front of large and enthusiastic audiences around the world.

Limited Drivers Gunning For Big Bucks In July 1 South Boston RaceWritten by Steven B. Wilson Thursday, 23 June 2016 13:11
Many race fans are already looking forward to the July 1 Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 at South Boston Speedway because of all the fanfare surrounding the big 200-lap Late Model Stock race.
But there's plenty of excitement with almost as much at stake in the 100-lap Limited Sportsman Division race at South Boston's big pre-July 4th event, which includes pre-race entertainment and postrace fireworks.
The Limited competitors will be racing for $1,500 to win, which is almost double the normal winner's payout. In addition, there is a $300 pole award sponsored by Sparks Oil and another $50 pole award sponsored by Halifax Insurance.
And then there is the matter of the bounty on eight-time Limited winner Joey Throckmorton. He's won every race this year and earlier this season track management placed a bounty on him, awarding a bonus to anyone who can beat him. The bounty increases by $100 every race he wins, and is now up to $300. Throckmorton can claim the bonus by dropping to the rear of the field at the start of the race and then winning himself.
He says the bonus hasn't reached the point where he would consider taking a shot at it. "I don't want to be fixing my race car for a couple of hundred dollars. I don't want to tear it up if I don't have to."
But he admits the increased purse and pole awards have caught his attention.
"To be honest with you, I'll go just as hard for $400 as I will for the $1,500," said Throckmorton. "We're there to be as competitive as we can. I'd do the same thing if we were just racing for a trophy. But a little more money sure helps your pocket."
The bounty, and now the increased Limited purse on July 1, has caught the attention of drivers who haven't raced at South Boston all season. Boo Boo Dalton, a former track champion at Caraway Speedway and Ace Speedway, was in the field last Saturday night and will be back gunning for Throckmorton next week. Brian Pembelton, South Boston's 2009 Limited champion, is also expected to make a return to South Boston on July 1.
There will be big bucks on the line in the Late Model race, with $5,000 going to the winner of the Thunder Road Harley-Davidson 200 and $3,000 in bonuses added to the purse.
The Late Model pole winner will receive a $500 award sponsored by Sparks Oil and the driver leading at the half-way break of the 200-lapper will get a $1,000 bonus. At the half-way break, three drivers from 11th and deeper in the field will receive a $500 bonus a piece in a random draw.
The Budweiser Pure Stock competitors haven't been forgotten, either. The pole winner for their 50-lap race will receive a $100 award sponsored by Sparks Oil.
The winner of the Budweiser Pure Stock race will be awarded the Clark Daniel Memorial Trophy in honor of the long-time Pure Stock supporter who died earlier this year.
During the fan appreciation event on the track prior to the racing action, Nashville recording artist and South Boston native Crystal Day will perform patriotic songs.
After the final race of the evening, the crowd will be treated to a huge fireworks display, one of the largest in the area.
Advance tickets are $15 and will be available at the South Boston Speedway office until 5 p.m. on Thursday, June 30. Tickets at the gate on race day will be $20 for adults and $10 for youth ages 7-12. Kids ages six and under will be admitted free with a paid adult.
Grandstand gates will open at 4:30 p.m. and the first race of the night will get the green flag at 7 p.m.
Greenville-Pickens Speedway Makes Additions To 2016 ScheduleWritten by Steven B. Wilson Thursday, 23 June 2016 09:45
The track's limited late model division will now race two additional times this season, with shows now scheduled for July 16th, August 6th, September 10th and September 17th.
Two additional shows for the Mulligan Power Truck Series have been added as well, on July 23rd and the season finale', October 22nd .
Greenville-Pickens welcomes two new attractions to the historic half-mile as well, as the Monster Truck Motornationals will make their debut on Saturday, July 30th, and the Bandit Big Rig Series rolls in on August 6th and October 22nd.
Anders believes the additions give the schedule some extra flavor. "We wanted to have some variety for our fans this year," he explained. "It has taken us some time to work some things out, but we feel like the Monster Trucks and the Big Rigs are going to be fun and entertaining for us, and we wanted to add some shows for our limited late model and Mulligan Power Truck Series as well."
The new look makes both August 6th and October 22nd into special nights of "Saturday Night Thunder" action.
On August 6th, fans can see the Bandit Big Rigs plus Twin 50's for the late models, a 50-lap feature for limited late models plus super stocks, renegades, pure stocks and four-cylinders.
October 22nd is the season finale'. The Southeast Limited Late Models will be in town for their second-to-last points race of the year, and will be joined by the Mulligan Power Truck Series, the Bandit Big Rigs, renegades and four-cylinders.
The K&N Pro Series East will also return to Greenville-Pickens on Labor Day Monday, September 6th. Points leader Justin Haley battled local native Kyle Benjamin all the way through the series' first race at Greenville in April before he finally came out on top for his first ever series win.
Benjamin, Spencer Davis, Tyler Dippel, Harrison Burton and many others will be looking to deny Haley the season sweep when the series returns on Labor Day.
Don't forget this weekend's CARS Tour "LeftturnsAndSideburns.com 200" featuring the touring series late model stock and super late model divisions. Over 50 cars are expected to be in competition between the two classes.
Popular Greenville-Pickens limited late model standout Colby "The Kid" Howard will make his late model stock debut driving his father's No. 16 machine this weekend.
Gates open at 4pm with racing getting underway at 7:30pm. For more information about the CARS Tour, visit their website at www.CarsRacingTour.com.

"Our partnership with NASCAR will help us reach thousands of fans with a simple message: Safe driving practices can help keep you and your family safe."
NHTSA recommends keeping your tires properly inflated for safety and fuel efficiency, as well as important tire maintenance like rotation, balance and alignment to help your tires last longer. Remember the 5 "PARTS" TO DRIVE-Pressure, Alignment, Rotation, Tread, and Size.
Sonoma Raceway joins NASCAR and NHTSA in their Drive for Safety, a partnership focused on promoting life-saving highway safety and vehicle safety messages. The program will highlight topics including distracted driving, seat belts, tire safety and five-star crash ratings throughout the 2016 NASCAR season.
The agreement also includes digital and social media programming to raise awareness for the Drive for Safety campaign, signage, promotional rights and other assets during the NASCAR event weekend in Sonoma.

Another great Our Town Your Town at I-44Written by Steven B. Wilson Tuesday, 21 June 2016 12:40
As the field took the green, Brown took the opening lead from pole setter Mandy Chick and Donahue followed Brown in the early stages of the 40 lap feature. With Brown setting a quick pace, Donahue quickly found fast qualifier and defending NASCAR Missouri State Champion JC Newell and Mandy Chick following. On lap 4 current Missouri State point leader Kyle Donahue was involved in a spin bunching the field back together. On the restart Brown would find Donahue moving to the inside as Newell was content early to ride in 3rd. After a side by side battle for 5 consecutive laps, the elder Donahue made the pass for the lead coming out of turn 2. Caution waved on lap 14 as last week's feature winner Steve Holt was involved in a spin while racing for position closing the gap on the entire field once again. On the restart, Donahue pulled away leaving Brown, Newell and Mandy Chick to settle a battle for second spot with five drivers in a tight pack going for position behind them. On lap 30 Donahue had built a straight away advantage before Brown began to reel him back down leaving Newell and Chick to contend for third spot. Brown had the leader caught by lap 35 and was setting-up an attempt for the lead. The final caution waved on lap 37 as a car came to a stop on the backstretch. On the restart, Brown was looking to the top groove and making a pass for the lead when his car got sideways which allowed Newell to make the pass for second place. Donahue was able to pull away gathering his 3rd feature win of the season with Newell, Brown, Chick and Kyle Donahue rallying for 5th. Newell was the fast qualifier in Time Trials stopping the clock with a time of 14.691 seconds with Brennon Willard second quick with a lap of 14.792. The top 7 in qualifying were inverted for the main event.
Modified action saw Ricky Icenhower back-up last week's feature win by taking advantage of a small bobble from race leader Tim Swearengin on lap 14 to take his second feature win of the season. Terry Taylor took the opening lead from his front row spot as Swearengin followed closely and Icenhower charged from the rear. Taylor was keeping Swearengin at bay in the early stages with the top 3 nose to tail. On lap 8, Swearengin was able to move around Taylor to take the top spot as Icenhower was glued to Taylor for the second spot. After a tight battle, Icenhower took the second place spot on lap 11. The only caution waved on lap 13 as Robert Baltzell slowed and Jimmy Poindexter showed signs of smoke as both drivers were done for the evening. On the restart, Swearengin was keeping Icenhower at bay until the following lap when the current modified point leader slid up the track in turn one which allowed Icenhower to make the pass for the lead and the win. Swearengin, early leader Taylor, Brian Lewis and Kevin Blackburn completed the top 5. Icenhower made it a clean sweep by grabbing the heat race win.
The Hoosier Tire Street Stocks saw a forth different winner for the 2016 season as Aaron Douglas took advantage of his pole position starting spot and then withstood a late caution in taking his first feature win of the season. Douglas took the opening lead with Tony Johnson and Les Mallard following. Douglas quickly opened a large lead as Johnson, Jordan Nisbett, Steve Shaw and the rest of the pack were all battling for second behind him. Nisbett moved into second place on lap 4 bringing Shaw with him as point leader Justin Allen was back in the pack racing for positions. With Douglas all alone up front, the race for second became even tighter as Allen joined the fun on lap 9. The only caution waved on lap 12 bringing the field back together. On the restart, Douglas got the quick jump and pulled away from Nisbett to take his first Street Stock feature win with Nisbett, Allen, Shaw and Tony Johnson completing the top 5 in a tight battle for all of those positions. Douglas and Nisbett captured the heat race wins.
The Coca-Cola Chargers showed why they are perhaps the most competitive class in the NASCAR Whelen All-American Series action at I-44 as a three wide photo finish saw Nik Taylor edge both Jerry Ellis and point leader Ronnie Taylor at the finish line taking his second feature win of the season. The 12 lap caution free feature event saw Taylor move quickly from his 4th starting spot to take the opening lead from Justin Gantt as 2 and 3 wide racing was the norm for the entire race. Jerry Ellis followed Taylor through and kept the pressure on the entire race. With Nik Taylor using the high lane, Ellis made some bold moves down low to try and grab the lead. By lap 3, there were 5 cars battling up front as point leader Ronnie Taylor, Gantt and last week' winner James Ellis all over the "High-Banks". On lap 8, Taylor was just barely keeping Ellis at bay with Ronnie Taylor running to the outside lane. On lap 10, Ellis just nipped Taylor at the line to become the leader as R. Taylor was making it a 3 wide battle for the win. As the pack took the white flag, Ellis was scored as the leader with Nik Taylor right by his side. Heading into turn 3, Taylor made a run on the high-side almost hitting the wall and just nipped Ellis for the win with Jerry Ellis, Ronnie Taylor, Justin Gantt and James Ellis completing the top 5 as a blanket could have been thrown over the top 3 at the line. Qualifying heats went to Jesse Poindexter and Gantt.
Sportsman point leader Jimmy Fohn took advantage of Jake Piel's misfortune late to grab his 5th feature win of the season as Piel took the heat race win.
