Sink Technologies and Benefits:
- The Vessel Advantage: Beyond uniqueness and their distinctive modern design, vessel sinks also present a couple of functional advantages. Because the sink is raised off the countertop, overall bathroom clutter presents less of an issue as items are merely level with or below the sink rim, not towering over it and in the way of your arms. Furthermore, bowl-shaped vessel sinks actually free up countertop space directly under the sink rim. Lastly, vessel sinks are much better at containing splashes, making face and hand washing less messy.
- Handcrafted Quality: Kraus vessel sinks are handcrafted in a very labor-intensive process. Starting with only the finest materials, artisans work each sink through its various production stages, with complete control over the entire process. By using hands to get the work done, each Kraus vessel sink is a functional work of art that has seen great care and thought put into its creation. The end result is a flawless sink that shows its attention to details.
Faucet Technologies and Benefits
- Precision Kerox Cartridges: The cartridge's job is to deliver smooth handle operation and water flow, throughout hundreds of thousands of uses, without ever leaking – all while under a punishing 60 pounds-per-square-inch of pressure. For these reasons, it is quite literally what "makes or breaks" the faucet. Kraus understands this, so they take no shortcuts here, importing their cartridges from the world's leading manufacturer of high-end precision ceramic disc cartridges, Kerox in Hungary.
- Swiss-Made NeoPerl Aerators: Aerators are possibly the most under-appreciated component within faucets. Not only do they soften the stream (preventing splashing), but they also control the straightness, diameter, overall delivery of water. Fortunately, like their cartridges, Kraus recognizes this and chooses to takes no gambles here – they import their aerators from NeoPerl in Switzerland, the world's leading manufacturer for high-end and specialty aerators.
Sink Specifications:
- Height: 6" (measured from the bottom of sink to the top of the rim)
- Overall Width: 14" (measured from the back outer rim to the front outer rim)
- Overall Length: 14" (measured from the left outer rim to the right outer rim)

The Missouri Tigers won their second road game of the year in very impressive fashion as they easily defeated South Carolina on Thursday night. The Tigers did few things wrong and South Carolina did few things right which led to a lopsided win by the Tigers who desperately needed a road victory like that not only for their confidence level but also for their post season aspirations. Mizzou returns home to the friendly confines of Mizzou Arena for their second meeting of the year with LSU on Saturday. The Tigers are undefeated at home this year.
Both Truman Bulldogs basketball teams braved the weather to travel to Warrensburg on Wednesday and it wasn't a particularly good night for either team. The women got off to a terribly slow start and although they battled back they simply weren't able to overcome a horrid shooting night and fell to Central Missouri who didn't play all that well themselves. The men were simply overmatched in their loss to Central. Both teams finish up regular season play tomorrow in Maryville against Northwest Missouri State. If the women can win tomorrow it will give them a first round bye in the MIAA playoffs which start next week. A loss tomorrow would give them the no. 5 seed and they would host either Lincoln or Southwest Baptist on Tuesday. The men play on the road Monday regardless of the outcome but where they play depends on who wins and who loses tomorrow. They will either play at Washburn, Pittsburg State or Central Oklahoma. We'll try to have that all straight in Monday's blog. As I mentioned earlier in the week the MIAA has changed it playoff format now that it has 354 teams thus every team makes the playoffs in a sense.
The Kirksville High School basketball teams are on their way to Mexico, MO for district games this evening with the Lady Tigers facing Moberly who they have already easily defeated twice this year while the boys play a very good Mexico team. The district schedule has changed several times this week because of the weather which is why the information in Wednesday's blog was incorrect. Actually, it was correct when I wrote it but then they changed it.
Other things to look for this weekend include NASCAR's second race of the season on Sunday and the Honda Classic golf tournament which as of this writing has Tiger Woods near the top of the leader board.
The Kansas City Chiefs pulled off a blockbuster trade in my opinion earlier this week as they acquired Alex Smith from the 49ers to give them the quarterback they have been searching for. Smith is an excellent quarterback who had the misfortune of sustaining a concussion and as oftentimes happens in the NFL was never able to get his starting job back because his backup was doing so well. Smith is 28 years old and is very much in his prime and I think will thrive under the leadership of Andy Reid.
We'll be back on Monday with a look back at all this weekend's sports action and a look ahead to the week in sports. Thanks so much for checking out this and all the blogs on the site.
Have a terrific weekend!

Design Manchester 13: 10x10
Category: Events/Exhibitions,
Posted: Aug 13th 2013
No. of comments: 0
Dave Sedgwick (designer & frequent guest lecturer at Shillington College MCR) and Tim Denton (Maker) have come together to create an exhibition of work which asks the question, 'What is the secret to a long and happy life?'. Dave and Tim have collaborated with Chorlton Good Neighbours, a collective of older people who meet a few times a week for coffee mornings, exercise classes and social gatherings.
The question was put to this group and these answers have formed the concept and creative for the exhibition. Dave will be designing a series of typographic rubber stamps based on the answers and Tim will be making a set of hand held wooden devices. We will then be asking people at the exhibition to make their own postcards using the stamps and send these out to those they feel may benefit from the pearls of wisdom imparted to us by the older generation.
Portraits of the wise worded ones will be shown as part of the exhibition and the aim is to distribute the secrets of longevity from an older group of Mancunians to the next generation.
The exhibiton starts this Thursday (15th August – invite only) at Bench Gallery & lasts until the 28th. Also on show, is work from other Shillo MCR friends: Matt Booth, John Owens & Daren Newman.

A-level Summer Exhibition Online
The world's largest open-submission contemporary art show for 16-18 year olds
The A-level Summer Exhibition Online provides a unique, online platform to showcase outstanding works of art by secondary-school students at A-level from across the UK. Live on our website at the same time as the RA's Summer Exhibition, students submit works electronically. A panel including a Royal Academician, RA curator and an RA Schools student then select and curate the works for the exhibition.
All students currently studying A-levels, IB or Higher and attending secondary schools and sixth-form colleges in the UK are eligible to enter. This year, over 2,100 artworks were submitted from schools across the UK.
Our attRAct programme offers London-based A-level art students the chance to engage with art and architecture through a specially designed programme of workshops, exhibition tours, studio visits, mentoring sessions in the RA schools, gallery visits and careers and portfolio advice.
Each year, art teachers in 25 state schools in the London boroughs of Barnet, Brent, Camden, Ealing, Hammersmith and Fulham, Harrow and City of Westminster nominate two students to participate in attRAct. This is a unique and very special opportunity to draw on the exceptional resources the RA has to offer and to create a lasting relationship with the Academy.

Events for teachers
We think it's important for teachers to refresh and develop your experience and understanding of art and art practice.
• We offer workshops, which develop art-making skills, support teaching back at your school and encourage teachers to look at and engage with art and architecture. Topics range from basic skills, which can be easily translated to the classroom, to workshops led by Royal Academicians, to engaging children with special educational needs. Take a look at our forthcoming teacher workshops. Places must be booked on 020 7300 5995 or email@example.com
• We also hold free and exclusive private views for teachers. These evenings, held during the autumn and spring terms, are an opportunity to view an exhibition before it opens, attend an introductory lecture exploring key themes and approaches, exchange information with colleagues, and collect resources. Members of the Learning department will be on hand to discuss our programme and to offer help and advice in planning a visit.
Private views feature an introductory lecture at 6.30pm. Places are limited and are allocated on a first come, first serve basis. Take a look at our forthcoming teacher private views.
If you would like to request tickets, please submit your request online. All tickets will be posted to you at your school, unless your request is within 5 days of the private view.

Before your student group visit
All student group visits must be booked in advance. This is how you can do it:
Once we receive your request, we'll contact you to discuss availability and confirm your booking.
Reduced admission charges apply to pre-booked groups of ten or more full-time students. Accompanying teachers enter at the same rate as their students. Self-directed visits for groups of 10 or more full-time students are free for primary and secondary school students, and £2.50 per student aged 18 and over.
Payment and health and safety
If you've booked a visit that requires payment, you can either:
• pay in advance and receive the tickets by post (cheques made out to 'Royal Academy of Arts' or telephone for credit card payment)
• pay on the day of your visit at the Learning Desk in the front hall (only applicable to weekday bookings before 3.30pm)
Health and Safety
You can download heath and safety information that may be required to help you fill out your visit risk assessment.
Running late? Give us a call
To speak to the Learning Booking Desk:
020 7300 5995
We're sorry, but we can only offer limited locker storage space. Please leave coats and bags on the coach if you can. Lockers will be signed out by teachers but keys are kept at reception at all times. Please don't take our keys by mistake.
As you come in
Your students should wait in the courtyard until we have processed your booking with you at the Learning Desk. As the courtyard is surrounded by other institutions unconnected with the RA, we ask that students wait quietly in the middle of the courtyard, avoiding doors to the other organisations.
When entering the RA building, please ask your students to use the central doors, which are manned by a member of RA staff. Please avoid using the revolving doors.
Planning your visit
In the galleries
• To qualify for the group entry rate, all members of your school party must arrive together. Teachers need to stay with their group (both primary and secondary schools) in the exhibition.
• To avoid disturbing other visitors, private lecturing is not allowed in the galleries.
• To help all our visitors get around the galleries, sketching isn't allowed on the floor. Please sketch standing up, and remember only to use dry materials in the galleries, and no pastels/ink/charcoal.
• Photography and mobile phones aren't normally allowed in the galleries.
Beyond the galleries
• Only 10 students, supervised by a teacher, are allowed in the RA shop at any one time.
• We don't have a lunchroom (unless you have booked a workshop). Packed lunches shouldn't be eaten in the RA building, but we have an open-air courtyard and Green Park is nearby.
• SEN workshops have the sole use of the Learning Studio throughout the day, which can be used as a private area for lunch and changing.
• We have two Blue Badge parking spaces in the courtyard for minibuses, which can be booked for SEN workshops at least 2 weeks in advance on 0207 300 8028.
In the classroom
• We're always delighted to receive photos of the wonderful pieces of work that have been created after a visit to our exhibitions. Please email us your images: email@example.com
• If you are hosting an Outreach workshop, please download the Outreach information sheet for details on the necessary requirements.
A great combination of practical activities, information and tour of the exhibition. This was an incredible day and an extremely memorable experience for the children.
A teacher from Sarum Hall School

"Revolution" Ends, "TMNT/Batman:TAS" Begins in IDW's November 2016 Solicitations
Comic Books
All-Day Event!
November 10, 2012 - February 24, 2013
Heroes & Villains is the first museum exhibition celebrating the artwork of Alex Ross, today's foremost comic book artist. Ross, acclaimed for the photorealism of his work, is often referred to as "the Norman Rockwell of the comics world." Heroes & Villains features over 130 paintings, drawings, photographs and sculptures from Ross's personal collection. The pieces range from a crayon drawing of Spider-Man that he created at the age of four to paintings from his early career on projects like Marvels and Kingdom Come through to his more recent work on Flash Gordon and Green Hornet. This exhibition outlines Ross's career of redefining comic books and graphic novels for a new generation of followers of Superman, Batman, Spider-Man and other classic comic book superheroes.
Showcasing the strong influence of American illustration and Pop Art on Alex Ross, original works by Norman Rockwell, Andrew Loomis, J.C. Leyendecker, and Andy Warhol are included. Artworks by Ross's mother Lynette Ross (a successful commercial illustrator in her own right) are on display as well. A selection of comic books and related paraphernalia collected by Warhol throughout his life are showcased within the exhibit.
Heroes & Villains is the first museum exhibition of Ross's work and comprises four galleries. Ross has graciously prepared an original artwork for Norman Rockwell Museum which is available to the public in poster form exclusively at The Museum Store, and online at store.nrm.org*, in November. Ross will also make a rare appearance for the opening celebration on November 10, 2012.
Norman Rockwell Museum

Designer Mark Noad offers a more geographically-accurate take on the London tube map.
Comments: 1
GabriellaUnited Kingdom, London | Sep 1st 2011I love this, I have been wanting to see the tube map in real terms for years. A very worthwhile effort but I do think it looks much more confusing. The current map is simple enough that a new user of the tube can see quickly and easily where to go, this one would require more patience and knowledge of London's geography. I still love it ;)

Cheap Dice
Cheap dice. These dice are real bargains, which means you can stock up and buy a ton of them to really fill out your dice collection. Many of these dice have minor imperfections which make them less than perfect but still great for rolling and playing games.
There are no products matching the selection.

The Saints wrestling team held its 2012-2013 Banquet on Tuesday night at the VFW. Over 100 fans, family members, athletes and coaches attended the event. It was a time for the community to thank the efforts of these athletes, especially the eight seniors who have finished competing as Saints wrestlers.
The Saints began a new tradition Tuesday night with the awarding of the first ever 'Dan Gable' award. The award was won by senior Cody Hanson.
Head Coach Gene Hildebrandt said, " The award is for being the most dedicated to the sport of wrestling over their career. Cody is the hands down winner!"
The Outstanding Wrestler of the Year went to Richard Soto. Soto and Hanson tied for the most wins this year. Each had 32.
Hanson had the most team points, scoring 163 and he had the most pins with 18. Soto had the most takedowns this season with 102.
The most improved wrestler on the varsity team was given to Zack Gleiter. The most improved wrestler on the B squad was Daniel Camacho.
The outstanding wrestler of the B squad went to Simon Beck.
The seniors spoke about their memories of the Saints wrestling program. Several of the young men got emotional during their presentations because they realized this was the end of their Saints careers.
Richard Soto gave a thoughtful speech about how he viewed the end of his outstanding wrestling career as an opportunity to move into the next phase of his life.
The Men on a Mission plaques went to Cody Hanson 1st, Devin Wolle 2nd and Kody Curry 3rd.

As of now, Pennsylvania does not plan to expand its Medicaid program and Governor Corbett has hinted that he might change his mind and support the expansion in the future, but so far, he remains opposed. We need Medicaid expanded for hard working families in PA now!
Pennsylvania has a dwindling opportunity to improve the lives and health of hundreds of thousands of residents by using Medicaid Expansion from the Affordable Care Act. You are hearing more stories about Pennsylvanians who are struggling to make ends meet and then loosing affordable health care they so desperately need.
Accepting federal funds to expand Medicaid in Pennsylvania will give PA families the security of knowing they can get the health care they need and at the same time boost our economy, create jobs, and help keep the doors open at the hospitals that serve our residents.
Expansion, which the Affordable Care Act promotes, would provide coverage to 350,000-600,000 more Pennsylvanians under 65, including 49 percent of uninsured veterans. Our state capitol in Harrisburg is full of organizations and regular citizens who are asking for our elected officials to provide affordable care for thousands of people across the state.
I just saw a recent cable talk show that featured AARP, other experts and state officials discussing why Medicaid expansion is needed in Pennsylvania. They said hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians will continue to lack the health coverage they need if nothing is done. We need to make sure that people have access to real time care!
You can help by asking your elected officials to accept the federal funds to allow Pennsylvania to expand Medicaid.
Sarah Segaline is a volunteer with AARP and lives in Philadelphia.

Seasonal items addressed at Hawley Borough Council, Oct. 9, affect the annual rite of leaf raking and burning, and Halloween.
Hawley Fire Chief Scott Mead asked Council to set dates when leaf burning will be allowed in the Borough. The period of October 13 through October 31 was approved, and may be renewed if conditions warrant. Councilman Joseph Fauble voted in opposition of the motion to schedule leaf burning.
When raking up leaves, Borough residents are reminded not to rake them into over storm drains, and to keep leaves away from storm water ditches.
The Hawley Halloween Parade is set for Thursday, October 31 at 5 p.m. Lineup is at 4:30 p.m. on Church Street near the Falls Port restaurant. The parade heads up Main Avenue to Bingham Park, where costume judging takes place.
Keeping with tradition, Borough Council members join in on the fun by volunteering to stuff bags of donated candy, which will be given out at the park.

Making sure you design a website that takes into account the multitude of devices now available is something every designer needs to consider. But the tricky part is where do you start... we'll once good place is Media Queries which is a gallery of responsive sites popping up all over the web.
So head over and check out some of the examples... but don't stop there, make sure you also drag your browser window around and see how the site design responds to the changing sizes. After a while you'll start to see a few patterns which will then inform how you might approach designs in the future.

1+ 2+ 3 Vibrobot
By Mark Frauenfelder
Make a twitchy, bug-like robot with a toy motor and a mint tin.
You will need: Metal candy mint tin, wire coat hanger, 1.5V motor from a battery-powered toy, small metal
washers ( 4), small bolts and nuts ( 2), about 1' of insulated wire, paper clip, ¼M flat plastic faucet washers
L" OD ( 3), AA battery, hot glue gun, hot glue, cable tie
When my 3-year-old daughter dropped the $1 battery-powered fan I bought her, the plastic case cracked,
ruining it. I promised her I'd make something even better using the fan's motor. I'm a fan of Chico Bicalho's
wonderful windup toys, so I made a robot inspired by his designs. I call mine the Vibrobot, and you can
make one in a couple of hours or less.
1. Prepare the
candy tin.
Sand the paint off the
tin, if you wish. Punch 2
holes through the bottom of the tin on either
end, using a hammer
and a Phillips screwdriver. You'll use these
holes to attach the legs.
Punch a hole through
the lid near one end.
This hole is for routing
the wires.
2. Make the legs.
Snip off 2 long pieces of
wire from a coat hanger
and bend each into a
V-shape. Bend the tip of
the V into a right angle,
and then bend a little
"foot" at each end (
Figure A). Attach the legs to
the holes in the tin using
bolts, nuts, and metal A
washers (Figure B). Add
a dollop of hot glue to
each foot to give them
rubber tips. B
3. Install the motor.
Photography by Carla Sinclair
Push a paper clip through one of the plastic flat
washers, and attach the washer to the spindle of
the motor. Solder 2 wires to the 1.5V battery, insert
the battery in the candy tin, and thread both wires
through the hole in the lid. Solder one wire to a lead
on the motor, and solder a third loose wire to the
other motor lead. Put 2 plastic flat washers between
the motor and the candy tin, and secure the motor
to the tin using a cable tie.
Mark Frauenfelder is editor-in-chief of MAKE.
To operate the Vibrobot, twist the loose battery wire and the loose motor wire together (you can also solder
an alligator clip to one of the wires for a switch). Experiment with the critter by gently bending the paper clip
and legs into different shapes and observing the effects. Watch a video at makezine.com/10/123_vibrobot.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — An Oklahoma Senate committee has cleared a proposal to limit the state's bond debt.
The Senate Appropriations Committee advanced the bill by Republican Sen. Josh Brecheen of Coalgate on a 17-2 vote Wednesday. It now goes to the full Senate.
The bill has already passed the House, but the Senate committee approved a substitute measure. The first version directly limited the state's total bond debt to a percentage of general revenue. The version that cleared the Senate committee instead places a limit on the state's interest payments on its bonds at 4.5 percent of general revenue.
The change is intended to give room for the legislature to issue bonds for Capitol repairs and other major public projects. Brecheen says the limit would make Republicans friendlier to a bond issue.

Summer Dreamin' Aboard the Wakesetter Series
By Capt. Ron Svoboda
On an Indian summer day in California, we recently had the opportunity to test one of the hottest wake sport tow rigs in the country. Malibu's Wakesetter is the choice of professional wake athletes and the pull boat at many of the venues that these riders compete in. So what's all the hype? For starters, Malibu focuses on producing boats that are designed specifically for the sport. They do not compromise when it comes to the pursuit of fabricating the best wakes to launch riders off of. In addition, Malibu will let you customize this boat with exactly what you need, whether you're on a budget or not.
One Boat, Two Tough Decisions
Two main versions of the Wakesetter are available; the VLX and the XTi. The VLX is a V-drive layout with engine and transmission at the stern of the boat. The goal here is to maximize the space of the cockpit and shift the weight balance of the boat to the rear. On the other hand the XTi has her motor about midships, balancing the weight to center and maximizing seating potential. Both models come standard with Malibu's "illusion X" tower and a plethora of cool options.
The XTi's center mounted engine makes for better handling and an aft seating zone that features a removable table and wraparound seating for up to four adults. There is also a rear stereo entertainment console and a built in beverage cooler, delivering full control of your music and refreshments without having to get up. The centerline engine also affords a deep storage compartment to starboard, making it the ideal place for big or bulky items.
In contrast, the cockpit of the VLX offers an open layout with long and spacious U-shaped seating with concealed storage compartments under the cushions. A baker's dozen of drink holders and numerous stereo speakers keep everyone happy on board. At the transom, a full width sun pad tops the engine box and supplies added storage below. The VLX also happens to be the choice of title holders and the official, World Wakeboard Championship tow rig.
Wake Shaping Expert
Both versions are a nimble 21 feet 6 inches overall and 8 feet, 2 inches wide and come with a spacious bow area up front for tanning and lounging. Here you'll also find contoured grab handles, four drinkholders and a pair of stereo speakers. The boats are based on the V25 wake hull, and can be combined with the Launch System (front, center and aft ballast tanks) and Power Wedge mechanism that will change the wake size and shape at the push of a button.
The helms on both boats are also the same, with innovative digital accessory power switches and a shift-by-wire throttle. Best of all, Malibu's Ballast Monitoring System and Precision Pro Speed Control gives the driver ultimate control of all the ballast on board and exact speed settings. The unique feature here is that personalized settings for speed and ballast can be stored in the systems' memory, guaranteeing that every pass is maximized and tailored to each boarder. Another great feature is the removable engine tray located above the motors that lets you store wet ski vests in them and warm them up between runs.
So if you're pondering the purchase of a new wake maker or preparing for your next championship title the Wakesetter by Malibu will take your shredding to a whole new level.

I live in St. Louis, which means I am sort of manic about the weather, especially in the Spring. We get massive storm systems moving through this area and I like to be prepared for them. I have long relied on The Weather Channel's web site, http://www.weather.com to get timely news on what's going to hit us and when.
I was surprised this morning by a fluke shower, and by "fluke" I mean I wasn't expecting it. So I jumped only TWC's web site using the newly installed Internet Explorer 9 RTW and saw the most interesting notice on the screen:
Weather.com now checks to see if you're running in IE9 pinned mode or not. If you're not familiar with running a site in pinned mode with IE9, think about how you can pin your favorite applications to your Windows 7 taskbar, making them easy to get to when you need them. Since users, more and more, are using web applications as much, if not more, than locally installed client applications, it only makes sense that web pages should act the same way as local applications. Thus, IE9 pinned mode web sites. How cool is that? I could go into details here on how to enable IE9 pinned mode implementation and discoverability for a site, but my friend and colleague, Jon Box, has already done so on his blog.
So, I dragged the IE9 tab to my task bar and pinned the site and, low and behold, It got the following when I right clicked on the hi-res favicon:
The first set of items under the Tasks section head are part of a static jump list. Amazingly, any web site can implement a list like this by adding a meta tag for each item in the list. They look like this:
<meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Some Task;action-uri=/SomeTask.html;icon-uri=/favicon.ico"/>
That's it. Pretty easy, right? Add up to five of these to make your list and users can immediately get directly to important resources on your web site with one right-click and one left-click. This is something you can add to your web site today with minimal effort and testing, since browsers ignore HTML tags they don't recognize, especially meta tags.
The really cool part of The Weather Channel web site's pinned mode is the section about the static jump list items, the section called Recent Searches. This is an example of a dynamic jump list because it is generated based on real-time data as opposed to static information in HTML. Here they simply replicated the same functionality I would receive from clicking on the Find Weather search box at the top of their web site:
Thus, without having to write any new functional code, The Weather Channel was able to give me the ability to check my local weather with two clicks and no typing.
This is the real power of these new features of IE9. You get the same presence and access as your favorite Windows applications, but in this case, they're your favorite web sites. You get access to what you want, when you want it, with few clicks. That's what I call a win in my book.

What do WPF, Silverlight 4, and Internet Explorer 9 have in common? No, that's not a riddle. Really, it's not a riddle. They are all FTW. What I mean by that is they all offer developers unique ways to exploit the power of Windows 7, such as integrating with the taskbar, leveraging jump lists, or offering the ability to exploit multi-touch or hardware sensors.
FTW? And why am I even talking about this? Well closely following on the heels of our Windows Azure Boot Camp announcement, we are gearing up another boot camp series: For the Win: Window 7 Development Boot Camp. This new series of events will include evangelist-led presentations by none other than the purely awesome Jennifer Marsman as well as hands-on labs to help you really dig into developing client-centric applications using WPF and XAML, Silverlight, and Internet Explorer 9 (yes, client-centric integrations from your web site with just a touch of HTML5).
What's Covered? Jennifer will cover application compatibility and transitioning your application to Windows 7, leveraging the Windows taskbar and jump lists, exploiting the taskbar and jump lists from your web site using IE9, taking advantage of new sensor, location and multi-touch functionality, and creating Silverlight 4 out of browser applications. Each boot camp will last a full day, starting off right at 8am local time, include lunch, several sessions and a couple of hands-on labs to help you really get a feel for how to take advantage of Windows 7 capabilities in your applications.
So, yes, this is a BYOL (bring your own laptop) event. Windows 7 is required, as is several other pieces of software: Visual Studio 2008 or 2010, Windows API Code Pack, Windows 7 Training Kit for Developers, IE9, and Silverlight 4.

On Saturday, Microsoft released a security advisory for all versions of ASP.NET. As with all security issues, it is important for system administrators and developers to take the necessary steps to ensure their data remains safe. This particular vulnerability could allow an attacker to request and download files within an ASP.NET application, like the web.config file. Obviously, this is a file often containing sensitive information. A patch for this vulnerability will be available soon, but for now, developers can implement code to ensure that their applications are safe.
For a full description of the vulnerability and what you need to do to protect your application, please check out ScottGu's blog post on this issue.

Last week I talked about a cool web slice Hallmark Cards developed to let you track important events in your Facebook friends' lives. Well, this week I have another cool web slice, one developed by Winchester Ammunition (a division of Olin Corporation) out of East Alton, Illinois. This web slice is significant because it uses Silverlight to deliver a rich experience while leveraging SharePoint Server to host and manage the content of the web slice.
You see, late last year, Winchester launched the new version of their public web site on top of SharePoint Server. They're leveraging primarily the content management and search capabilities on winchester.com. When they looked at how to deliver content to their IE8 web slice, they wanted to reuse as much as they could. So, working with Aspect Software (formerly Quilogy of St. Charles, Missouri), the hooked their Silverlight client for the web slice, which was custom built for the 320x240 web slice pane, and hooked it into the RSS feed, product catalog and streaming media areas of the winchester.com web site.
The result is a rich, intuitive application that allows Winchester's customers to connect to important industry news and product information whenever they like without interrupting what they're currently doing in the browser. This is a win for the customer, but a win for Winchester as well. By the user installing the web slice, Winchester wins much sought-after real estate in the browser and has a place to connect with their customers as often as they like.
Check out the Winchester web slice on the IE Add-ons Gallery. Even if you're not a hunter or shoot for sport, it's a good way to look at an new and innovative way to leverage rich content delivery to connect with your customers.

Computer screens in laptops, desktops and phones are now the targets for application developers yet they represent challenges as the resolution, size, among other factors.
In this episode, Director of User Experience at Infragistics Dr. Komischke describes how using Fluid UI allows organizations and developers design in the new era of user experience.
Hallmark Cards released a new web slice for Internet Explorer 8 to the IE Add-ons Gallery last week that will make it extremely simple to remember the birthdays, anniversaries and other raisons de célèbre in your life. This slick little slice integrates with your Facebook friends list and provides you with a list of the next ten special events coming up. From the web slice, you can write on your friend's Facebook wall, send them a Hallmark E-Card or even order them a "print-on-demand" card that you can design and that Hallmark will print and mail for you.
From the technological perspective, web slices are not difficult to develop. They are built just like any other web application, but they are tagged in a web page by a specific set of HTML that tells IE8 that this content is "sliceable." In this case, the web slice is obviously integrated with the Facebook API, but another interesting feature is that the slice will also call out major holidays and integrate them into the list. This is provided by a secondary service, showing you how you can build really useful mash-up style applications leveraging multiple background services. Rather than dive into the details of how to develop add-ons for IE8, I'll refer you instead to my colleague, Jon Box's, blog. Jon has written several extremely useful posts over the past twelve months showing how to not only build web slices, but accelerators and visual search providers as well.
From a business and marketing standpoint, IE add-ons make all the sense in the world. I mean, the Hallmark web slice is a great example of providing not only a cool and useful application for customers, but it also lives in the link bar inside the browser, allowing their customers to check on their special events at any time, regardless of the web site they are currently on. It provides a very non-obtrusive way to provide your company's specific products and services to customers while maintaining brand ubiquity in a piece of software in which users spend the good majority of their time each day: The web browser.
The best way to get the web slice is to visit the IE Add-ons Gallery. Since you need to connect the slice with Facebook, there is a two-step installation process, but it's pretty easy and intuitive. I've been using it since it was released last week and I find myself checking it every day. See what you think.

In the spirit of the season, I thought I would share this very cool Silverlight 3 application developed by Archetype. It's an application that lets you virtually carve a pumpkin and then share it with your friends. The cool technical part is that it is built in Silverlight 3 and is hosted on Windows Azure!
Try it out here.
Have a fun and safe Halloween, everybody!
What's that? Couldn't make it to one of the regional launch events for Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2 and Exchange Server 2010? Never fear. Your second chance is on its way.
Microsoft recently announced that it will be holding two "best of launch" events in the central region over the next couple of months featuring content from the so-called "New Efficiency" launch events. The content will be for both developers and IT professionals. These events will focus on:
